I got some steaks on the grill right now. Let's go look at them. It's time for stakes. Second annual?

Second ever. It was two years ago. Two or three. So it's 2016 we had stakes. Yeah. And then what we did in last year we just forgot. I was still listening to you bitch about your stomach. Yes, right?

That's right. So we tried to do something different this year, but you fuckers didn't let us. Well, because you sent us an email saying that we should kick the stakes. Yeah. Were you just being lazy? No, it's a good idea. What? You two should make the stakes. It's not like I asked you yesterday.

I asked you like a weekend advance. You people you can practice. Make stake. But the whole point is, who won the last stake off? Bernie. Right, so this is your turn. And then you can come back. Yeah, Gus.

Last time? Bernie. It wasn't because of a shitty scoring system. It was legitimate. Bernie. Right, so this is your turn. I think it's coming back. Yeah, Gus. Last time? Bernie. It wasn't because of a shitty scoring system. It was legitimate. What did we say Trump? There's no scoring system this year. There's no scoring system. It's just like who likes to think the best.

There are three judges this year. There are three judges. We have a... That can't be a tie. So it's you two and who's our other judge? Patrick. Patrick. Salazar.

That's Patrick. So I should explain a last year, one of these two years ago, one of them made me vomit and violently shit my shirt. Are you sure it was a steak? Well, I don't know. You have a hundred dollars? What else is to do? What else is to do?

I've probably washed my hands 30 times. Wait, is that what we have in the medic? We have a constantly all day today. Yeah. We have a medic for a food poisoning. We do have a medic. He's also here. He's constantly all day today. Yeah. We have a medic for food poisoning. We do have a medic. He's also here because of the fire in the knives. You know, we have a few days.

That's all that's up. This is hot. I had to warn everyone. I turned it on. I was like, the grill is on. You're not coming over here. Are we our judges? One nuts.

Did you get your day? Did you press clums? There you are. There you are. I feel like I'm on a plane. Patrick, our new judge. Oh wow. The hand in there. More nuts for everybody. Enjoy Patrick. Your one nuts feel good in my mouth. Have a plane. Patrick, our new judge. Oh wow. Hand in there.

More nuts for everybody. Enjoy Patrick. Your warm nuts feel good in my mouth. Have a nut. This is great for the audio listeners. You like the sound of a, it's like ASMR. Do you want to hear me chew? I'm putting the pecan in my mouth.

These are fantastic warm nuts. Thank you. Oh my goodness. This is a base drought eating food that the audience can't really even enjoy. We live in Austin. Oh, this is totally better than what you'd ever get on first class, right?

But they give you all the shitty nuts for the first time. Yeah, it's more than peanuts. I gave you pecans as well. Oh, well. In there. Or maybe the little Texas- Or some people say pecans. Or some people say pecans.

Oh, pecans. We call those people scumbags. Ha, ha, ha. Hmm. Guess where's your appetizer? Oh, I don't have an appetizer. But you do have. I'm gonna save it. I have a secret weapon. I don't have an appetizer. But you do have. I'm going to save it. I have a secret weapon.

I don't want to reveal that. It's just a war. Both parties have done in order to swing our favor. Do you want to ask him? Well, the focus, neither of you, is the focus entirely on the meat. So what are you doing? Are you doing anything different this year? What are you doing?

I am. I'm doing a couple of different things. First of all, I was, since we're doing this in the shadow of St. Patrick's Day this year. Oh, yeah. I thought I would pair it with some roasted new potatoes when rosemary. Delicious. They smell wonderful.

They smell it right now. It smells so good. And then because Gavin, you tweeted today that you were looking for a place to have a full English breakfast. Yeah. And so I thought he's got that, he wants that taste. We flew in the queen.

Can you tomato's with steak? So I did mushrooms with steak so you have some mushrooms today Right, so I'm trying to use my is this against you guys. That's interesting. It's interesting So you have sides and appetizer. Yes, and you have another secret ingredient I have meat and a secret ingredient that I'm waiting to reveal until the final presentation It's a purist. Yeah, I'm gonna go get my steaks. I'm sous vide inside and I'll be right back So I decided I did something a little different last year Remember I did that Korean marinade where I marinated it like in a, almost like a, like a soy glaze.

So this year I went ahead and did something totally different. I decided I wanted to do something peppercorn based. So I did. Oh, that's my favorite. Yeah, I did. I love peppercorns. You favorite? Brown mustard, rub, all over the state, then covered it off with peppercorn.

I was grinding the peppercorns in the kitchen. And Barbara walked by she goes, what is that? That smells delicious. Like, peppercorn. I was grinding the peppercorns in the kitchen. And Barbara walked by, she goes, what is that? This smells delicious. Like, peppercorn. It's just black pepper. I feel like I'm gonna fucking eat it. But I did, I had a giant plate of it,

because I needed a time for all this. Yeah, it was giant plate and I was like, sitting at the table and I was like, oh my, that smells great. What is that, Gus? It goes, peppercorn. I'm so dumb. I guess I just haven't smelled that.

So, yeah, I did put a little bit of heat in with the mustard as well. It's got a little bit of Tabasco to just add a little bit of spiciness. It sounds like you really know what you're doing this year. I knew what I was doing last year. I thought last year was more complicated. This year was easy compared to that. Tony, I think it's going for the same kind of sous vide. Super complicated.

You can just set it right there. I just like watching Bernie's table versus Gus's table, which is just a grill. I have to expand it. I'm a purist. Even though I do expand into a different table. Even though this year is entirely based on the taste of the stakes, I will say that Bernie wins the award for best dressed. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you today. If I'm giving that award. I mean, you can feel free to give out other awards. I mean, I just had this at. I'm okay with the purists look too. Yeah. It's look too. Yeah. Is the apron?

Yeah. Just gusts me and gusts. Just like head. You got it. We got the stakes. Yep. What's up kids? They're putting your leg up.

Could you all some stakes? It would be great if you had like kiss the cookers. Yeah. Or in Gus's case, do not touch them. Okay, good. Or like kiss me on the board. I'm going to top. Just be careful with the touch up.

So are we allowed to ask what the ball pit is for yet? We don't know. But he's mad about it. That's what I know. What is the ball pit? Marcus did that. I don't know. He was really excited about having a ball pit. We get it.

Is there? If you don't like your steak, well, you can claim up to five minutes in the ball pit as a compensation. So the thing about sous-veed steaks is they look super gross when you're done cooking them. But not before you see them when you're basically when you're done cooking them they actually like these steaks are fully cooked right now but they look gross because they look boiled right trying to step on my john tumours oh god this is gonna end horribly we got medic they're right there yeah he's close we're both in see oh god

riding the shin let's see let's see uh some of these takes over here oh so for bar broth oh I have patchy you take these guys to be sharpened or they come out just brand new knives yeah so for bar broth that's me I have a prime cut filet mignon because she requested that that's my favorite it's also because you it's French. Fille mine, you own. Fille mine, okay. Oh. But do you say fillet? No, fillet.

In the UK? Yeah. Herb. Okay. Fille mine, you own is still that, but a fillet steak is, you just put an extra al in it. Okay, so we're gonna start. Do you, I never knew it, no,

no, yeah. This one for Barb. They're searing it it I should say not brilliant The nice sizzle there. Yeah, ounces of filet minu. Oh, it's always there's normally between six and eight It's what I typically see so what kind of state is this mean is it is like it's mainly cooked and now you just need to So this is cut and I'm searing it for mainly for presentation Say like that if you want it you can either right now. It just looks a bit It looks a bit soft. It looks boiled. Minji. It looks boiledgy it looks boiled yeah mengy had very listen this is not part of the competition i was just trying

bring a brought knives into the kitchen he goes these are these sharp the snives you will ever see i think what he said was he thinks he could cut his car with them well i don't know what i did was i took my knives not these knives the knives over there is on a hullum I guess, gave me this knife one year. And so I took it over to the stage two machine shop and they razor sharpened it for me today. So, that's what I'll be using to cut. Try shaving with it.

I'll probably cut it. I'll take my steaks over here. So, Gus, do you feel you were a slight disadvantage having to leave your steaks unattended while you did the ad-read? I was a little worried about it, but I think hopefully the turned out okay doesn't seem like anything bad. Here's what I think I think the major disadvantage is mine because I won last year and I think

everyone feels sorry for Gus. So I feel like I had to really step my game. You also have to defend the title. You're supposed to lose. I got nothing to lose. I'm coming in with like a blank palette. Like flight. Yeah, you say that.

Yeah, but I don't Pretend that the other year never happened. Well, this seems like a fall part. I actually didn't remember who won I didn't either Well, oh, we believe me. We did this going system is a little garbage There's pretty close. I feel like it might be It was one point. It was one point. It was like we rated everything out of five. I think So it's awful Did we come up with the bat? We did everything out of five, I think. So is it awful?

Did we come up with a bat? No, it was, now we have Patrick, so we have three judges. Barbara, you preferred my steak. Gavin, you preferred Gus' food poisoning steak. But because of the scoring system, Barbara rated mine higher, you both rated them. Yeah, like I think it was three things out of five. Right, presentation.

Yeah, presentation. Taste? Moistness? I think moistness was one of them. Yes I'm gonna get a mad farmer's tan a moistitude Just try to do it. I'm trying to stay in the state over here I'm so I'm just tearing my mouth. Don't worry. Yeah Between five to ten minutes out depending on some stuff. That's good Lord. Do you see the jiggle on that meat? That was incredible Yeah, these are I'm just gonna get in here So Bernie did the snip

Bernie did something I intentionally did not do I thought that getting wagyu beef would be Cheating so I did not get the wagyu and he did get the wagyu Hey, you win buddy, but you know he's always gonna take the cheeky path. Yeah, I should have been thinking ahead Let me get it with your steak. It's like the best smelling day. It's overpowering over here. Chop, chop, chop, chop. So basically what we do is we sous vide. That's good too.

Get the internal temperature of the steak up to 128, 130 degrees if you want to do it medium rare. And then sear it for two minutes aside. That's it. So not only is this a steak up, it's also a lesson for anyone home. It's a lesson for anyone to eat. It's also a lesson for people with microphones here Why just throwing that out there? What I have a microphone y'all are y'all are stepping up next year. Oh

I'm learning all the time. Oh, I see. I'll just pull out my one of these that I obviously have guess what I mean I mean, again, why don't you sous vide next to all of you? It's easy. I'll grill. Yeah, they're over here. We have paper plates. You got trinette, baby. Cool. I would do steamed hands. Steamed cake plates. Yeah, you should absolutely do that.

Oh, I make something really British. Oh, you should. Toad in the old. Now, toad in the old. I did not ask. The old what? But I'm assuming everyone here likes a rare steak. I like, yeah, rare to medium rare.

You were upset about the juiciness of it last year, Barbara. I was. I believe so. You said it was too juicy. Two years ago. I don't know if that's possible. I feel like they've been watching the video. Yeah, you said my steak was too juicy and I lost points for it.

Really? Yes. Yeah, his was marinated though. His was like sloppy mess. One juice, you want juice, you make me. I want juice, but I don't want sloppy juice. I put that on my tender profile. Give me want sloppy juice. I put that on my Tinder profile. Give me that sloppy juice.

But I spelled it juice. Yeah, he's saying juice or juice. I like my sloppy juice. Have you been eating today or have you been? No, I only had breakfast. I had a very light lunch in preparation. I saw Gavin about to eat. Look at that bang.

Gavin was about to eat some. Look at this. I was about to eat that bang. Gavin wants to go to eat some. I'm gonna be with you here. I'm gonna eat this snack today. I was about to eat some mini muffin. And I said, you're gonna spoil your appetite for the steak, Gavin. Barbara, your filet is got the best one yet.

Oh. Oh, we're getting a flap from off camera. Yes. Oh my God. I don't know if the audience at home could smell that. Thank you. Just go right really up close to your screen. This is about the time last year when everything caught on fire. If I recall correctly.

Oh yeah. Two years ago. Oh, you mean a tank is right next to the open flame like that? Yeah, we had a used butter for the steering part and that was a bad idea. Don't worry, just put the intern between both. All right guys, it's a minute 30 and I'm going to be off. All right, I got about about the same here. I'm excited. I'm gonna have to put it in the potter. Alright guys, it's been 30 and I'm gonna be off. Alright, I got about the same here. I'm excited, I'm so excited. I'm, my I'm so, so hungry right now. The hardest part for me is for being with this grill.

I don't know. Watch my hands. Watch your hands. Yeah, we don't want you to be the entertainer. I'm gonna go watch my hands. Put that down. Look at that one. Okay, going in to, oh, all right, you're going there?

You can go defensive in there. You know what's really funny? I woke up this morning after having... I had a pizza last night that had chicken on it. And the chicken kind of tasted off on it. And then my stomach was like gargling all night. And I had a moment where I was like, if I get food poisoning.

The night before the steak off, that would be super ironic. Especially if you got sick and you weren't able to come in. Yeah. Had to have a replacement. I actually was panicking about it. It was like, I can't miss today. It's my favorite day of the year. A little bit of fire there.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Let's move that. Those are big steaks. Yeah. Yeah, gut's not specialized in very thick steaks. I like a good juicy steak. So it takes a little longer to cook. You gotta keep it over a lower heat.

Just to make sure you don't burn the outside and leave it inside rare. Do you have a meat thermometer with you? I do not. I do. For any of this. I'm prepared this year to take all precautions. How many steaks do you think you cooked

between this steak and the last steak off? Dozens, dozens, guess? Oh Oh easily. Perfect, perfect dozens. Oh, man. So based off that information, these steaks should both be bad. Also, who the fuck chose these utensils? This is not gonna... I got steak knives for you guys. Okay. They're right here. I was gonna say this is not gonna cut. It's not gonna cut it. It's not gonna cut it. Go ahead and I sharpened as well That's a little tricks because then it makes your meat seem like it's even tender Tenderer tenderer. Ruler tenderer. That one looks really good. I'm shallister. You can buy mine. Yeah, you know Listen, so well, it's a different cut. Oh, Bob, come here and look at this

I just want the fall part right there. It's like wait. Oh my god So well it's a different cut oh Barber come here look at this All right, there's barbers we are done over here Now we can have no fires you be happy to know I'd be interesting to see what the audience think based on just the looks of them. Yeah, which ones they prefer We should probably put a pole up maybe so this is wavy and it's seared really intensely on that one. So I'm really looking forward to that. That'll be good. Oh my god.

So again, this is just a recap. This is the brown mustard Tabasco rub with crushed black peppercorns. Oh boy. Now to hear fly. And then once we're ready to eat, I will present my surprise secret weapon. What is it? Should we also check the temperature? Can I get this chinet?

Just rip it out. Thank you. I'm just waiting for the impartiality to rear it's ugly head. Should we clear some room on this table? What's great is that this event doesn't happen very often, but it is very competitive. Just as competitive as last time. It is highly, highly, highly competitive.

I think it's even more competitive because there was a winner last year. Yeah, there's titles to keep, this title's to beat. So, would anyone like me to slice or stake for them? Sure. Can you slice it and put it in my mouth? Could you feed me? That I cannot do. Does that make me this lighter, by the way?

It's right there. Now normally, for the ribeye, the way the knife is just gliding through that. It's zips right through it. Oh, it looks so good. OK, I'm happy. Ha, ha, ha. So you got your nerves out of the way.

I don't know what mine yet. Yeah. You're not allowed to cut it yet? I let the diner cut it. Okay, I got it. Well I'm actually going to like just put mine in place. These are way bigger than the plates. It's also different when you sous-vie it's different versus the grill preparation.

Like I'm trying to preserve the juice. Oh yeah. And what you cut it. How long do you recommend for letting your steaks rest? Normally I rest about five minutes after I come off the grill. That's kind of why I was ready to plate them and leave them over here while we finish up over here. Because they cook a little bit more, right? You want to take them off?

Yeah, you want to let the juices settle a bit? Oh boy. It just basically contracts and everything comes back up in. I love steak juices. But not sloppy. But not too sloppy. Not sloppy too. So here, pre-prepared, I have some rosemary potatoes.

And if you not want potatoes. It's a silence on the no potatoes. Okay, everyone else is. Now because we, I decided to pair this with potatoes because we're so close to St. Patrick's Day. And I thought that would be a good thing to do. Gus was smart and I think is thinking along the same lines and then right after this I read a tweet from Gavin this morning that he wanted a full English breakfast and wanted to know somewhere

in Austin where he could get that. So that inspired me to include mushrooms as well because that's part of the full English breakfast And I figured Gavin's palette. He was ready for some mushrooms some lovely shrooms So what I'm hearing is you value my vote. I value your vote Gavin. I actually all votes are important But I value your vote. I actually did go up to Bernie earlier to be fair to him And I said that I was accepting bride He wanted me to devote for him in advance just for some little little bit cash But he wasn't having it Patrick accepting bribes. He wanted me to just devote for him in advance, just for some little bit, cash,

but he wasn't having it. Patrick, Barbara mushrooms? Yes, please, mushrooms. Okay. The sun is baking my eyes here, and it's smudging my makeup. It's because I'm actually crying because I'm so excited for seeing.

Yeah, you're crying for steak, I don't blame you. Yeah. It's the meat that's starting happening. Out of your eyes. Out of my eyes. My eyes are crying for meat. So I'm just gonna pair these along with it and I'll put dirty happening out of your eyes. My eyes are crying for meat So I'm just gonna hairly's along with it and I'll put it on top of the steak I thought dog walking to the parking lot I'm thinking to go and I was like, uh-oh

I'm ready to serve Gus if you are I'm ready. So she's gonna be served one of it Should we take out these are course of hot nuts take your feet to brag or anything like that? Wonderful not the best plating in the world. What's that? So she'll I put this one down there? This one? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Barbara?

Yes. And the place is here. Oh boy. That's it. Thanks man. The final step, my secret weapon is I have a beer pairing. Ooh, as well. A beer pairing.

A little blue owl sour pale ale, which I think should as well. A beer pair. A little blue owl sour pale ale. I think should pair well. That's actually why I've not been on the bay just yet. Ooh. I'm Patrick. And now I would recommend starting here. Okay. That's the most flavorful part of the steak.

Okay. Gavin, yeah, we want to start right here on this part here. Okay. That's the most flavorful part of the steak and I don't think you're going to be able to get through all of this. You don't think that we'llammable part of the steak and I don't think you're gonna be able to get through all of this. You don't think that we all need both steak? I don't know.

Yeah, that's cool. Since Gus has a pairing, should we do that second? So it doesn't affect Bernie's? Charlie, I think. I will. Let me take some collateral shrapnel damage from the pairing as well. Are you really good?

Yeah, get the steak and I, Bernie. Yeah. I'll go. I'm gonna try this mushroom too. I'm gonna try potato. All right. Oh, Bernie. Yeah. We're cutting. I'm going to try this mushroom too. I'm going to try potato. All right. Oh, potatoes are awesome. Go to the mushrooms.

Well, that's the inside. Potatoes are cooked all the way through. If this was a competition for mushrooms, and potatoes, you'd be winning. The meat is very sharp. So I'm just going to leave this here. No rush whenever you guys are Just go ahead and you can carry that. Oh my god, look at that Mmm, it's amazing. Oh

My gosh, looks like butter. No, let's potato Mike That part sounded really good. The will be meat left too, I'm sure. Mmm. Holy shit. Wow. Alright, walk us through the tuna. Where's your head at? Very juicy, very tender.

It's literally like butter. I mean, in the pot that you recommend it, it's like slicing through... ...bog fog almost. You can barely feel it. Why do you prefer the filet mignon to like a rib eye, Barbara? Yeah. I don't know. I've always just thought they were easier to,

like it seems like there's more meat to it. You don't have to cut around a whole bunch of stuff. You just kinda eat it. That is your rib eye. No, you're not gonna eat the lot. And I like how it's thick this way instead of just to eat that. Mm-hmm.

So it's a girth is important to what you're saying. Yeah, I've got the complete bite here. I just had the steak So it's a girth is important to be saying. Yeah, I've got the complete bite here. I just had the steak on it the same last time. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Get the full English. Full on, full English.

Now wouldn't go too deep. Would it be for a competition? No, I wouldn't go too deep into one before trying it together. Yeah, I'm going to eat some of that too. Okay. Guess would you like to try some brine? No, I'll wait. You got it. Would you like to try some of the filet?

Just listen, if you're gonna try one. Some filet. Yeah, I'll try it. Got it. Yeah, I remember. Guess which area would you like to be? It's a part of the party. It's a part of the party.

I think, um, um, I'm a purist. I leave that up to the diner. I think here on this particular cut, you would want to attack from here. Where we going? He leaves it up to the diner, but guess what? You don't get to pick your own drink. So, at least I provided a drink. cut you would want to attack from here. Where we going? He leaves it up to the diner, but guess what? You don't get to pick your own drink.

At least I provided a drink. How were your drinks Bernie? They all have beer. I've been in very thirsty with the nuts. That actually is what it is. Can you guess me? May I have one of the beers guys? Yeah, go for it, man.

That's a really good. There's Japanese. I'm going to save that until after I've had the meat. That's a really good beer, guys. Let me see this. It's a nice sour beer. so it should pair well with mustard. Any particular? I mean, it's really, it's up to you.

This one is there. This one, I would go from here. I can say I've never had a beer like that. Yeah, it's good. This one's, it's, it's, it's, it has to be rare. Let's take a bite. Definitive choice, Gus. This is a sour pale ale. Very, very fluffy and tender.

Oh, that looks good. Not a sloppy juicy this year. Oh, you definitely taste the pepper. I didn't like the pepper. Mm-hmm. I didn't want it to be overwhelming. That's why I figured the beer would go well with it. The mustard's nice.

It comes through just a little bit. And there should hopefully be a little bit of heat. There's a very little Tabasco. I wasn't sure if anybody would react violently to spicy foods. I didn't go overboard with it. The mustard is nice, it comes through just a little bit. And it should hopefully be a little bit of heat. There's a very little Tabasco, I wasn't sure if anybody would react violently to like spicy foods, I didn't go overboard with it. Yeah, but it's a little bit. So that's what is your process? It's really simple, I just rub it with some spicy brown mustard, some Tabasco mixture so that the peppercorns can adhere to it afterwards. So after I put the mustard on it, I just dredged through a bowl of crushed black pepper,

freshly crushed black pepper. I saw you making that. Yeah, you had this mountain of crushed pepper that he was making. Oh man. I always heard a story about a comedian. I forget, I don't think Colin Quinn told the story, but there's some comedian he's known for.

If you go to a restaurant with him and they ask for crack pepper, he will not let the waiter stop. Oh God, do the whole thing. Like, you know, just keep going, just keep going. That's why I had to stop my hand starting hurting after grinding for a bit. I was like, I can't.

I feel like we should give people who are in the audience some. You guys want some? I'm gonna cut some pieces. Are you guys done with your judging now? I'm in a hurry. I'm gonna have to go back to this one, just to, uh, just to- I gotta get some gristle.

I love gristle. It's good for that. Love, yeah, sure, I'll have some. I want to try some of Gus's. I'm gonna try some of Gus's. We got a, I'm gonna go to Forty. Forty West. This is very good. Duck and out. What cook were you going for?

Uh, it's good for medium rare. Okay. How's it looks about the armor? Looks like it. You know that shot in the matrix where yeah good. Yeah the steak. I don't know if there's more blue there. A bit a bit. That's good. Go back in and then eat your side. There's my doctor. What's that? There's a potato. There's some potato. Here's my latte. Here's my latte. Here's my latte.

Here's my Very hot and I gotta say that the Very little bit of the Married one bite. Yeah, I'm gonna Tell them how much I love this beer. Thank you Are you eating my side to Augusta steak? That's a bold move for this is a guess. I'm putting up me here. I got you Well, I just fried both the very different preparations. Yeah, really interesting to contrast them Which one you want? I made one of these, I don't know. Is it some portrait there, Matt?

I made one of these, but I'm not sure if I can pick a winner. They're very different. They're radically different. Yeah. Which one? Either one? Well, my mind is pretty similar to the last year. This is my last year, in the world.

I've just refined my... That's Bernie. That's Bernie. Well, the only losers here today are the cows... That's Bernie. That's Bernie's. That's Gus'. Well, the only losers here today are the cows. That's it. They're being celebrated though. Gonna compliment the Bay of Pair and Gus. Yeah. What, it's very well.

It's like that. I've never had a beer like this. It is a sour, pale ale. This one has a beer pairing. If you want to sit at the bear as well. I can get you, I can get you, and you can too if you want one, Maryl. I'm good. Alright. I don't think I could decide. I'll be like, thank you, please. Oh, what are your thoughts? Ariel, hit and run. Give me a signal.

Help me. I mean, you got us. Oh, look away. So are we gonna, we're just gonna say our votes or are we gonna discuss our votes? I think they should discuss it. Then you and I can go podcast. We're just gonna say our votes, or are we gonna discuss our votes? I think they should discuss it, and then you and I can go podcast. All right, and they will come in and out, so we're gonna to us.

Okay, all right, I'm gonna talk this. People don't spoil it on Twitter. I'm not gonna check Twitter while we're in there, then. Okay, I am gonna grab one of my beers. So is the feed on us while we discuss, or is it on then, Chiang? Oh, it's probably on us, right? I'll be on you guys. Yeah. Okay cool. Jose, when we carry the strobe with me. I could watch it. I'll rip it out of my hands. Alright. Guys excellent job.

Thank you. Thank you. Everything is so good. I like how they like you want to be able to finish it. Like, anyone else? Hmm. You might get some of that dim. Which one do you want? That was lovely.

Next time we do this, I'm gonna bring my own grill in. Yeah, I feel ya. It's like there's uneven spots like I tried to go for a medium rare cook and Gavin's was definitely under. And by the time Patrick got to the middle of his, he was a little more rare than I would have liked. Yeah, but I thought your color was better than my color.

The color looked good, but it was just, it was, it was for a little more of a cook on it. Yes. He's walking to a table that's off camera. There's pizza. He's bringing a pizza. They got pizza. Yeah. They get, look at this. It's not enough steak for everyone. That's, no. There's pizza. He's greener pizza. They got pizza! Yeah!

They get, look at this! It's not in the steak for everyone! That's, no, there is. It's a lot of meat, dude. There's a lot of meat. There's a lot of people out there. They destroyed the pallets. Actually, Patrick cooked everybody's steaks!

Yeah, Patrick did cook pre-stake-off steaks. Alright, Mike, I'm gonna make your life easier. I'm about to get a mic. Yeah, a lot. You're good. Um, alright. I was about to get a mic. Yeah, a lot. You're good. All right. I was about to see if I could do an ad read. But I need to already did it.

All done. So I was asking a question the other day, Gus. What's up? A Fortnite had come out last year, right? Because it was in development for seven years. So Fortnite had come out last year, would people still be pointing it today? I think it would have passed over. It would have been an on- an on event like it would have launched people to talk about it for a bit

And it would have disappeared. I think their success really has come from this pivot to the battlegrounds Game format to the battle royale. Yeah, I'll go now And yeah, and PUBG mobile just launched today. We were you saw me messing around with it a little earlier when we prepping our stakes You know actually there's two podcasts going on at once right now. So I don't even know if we're on or. Yeah, we're on. It's us. Because we're hiding the results. Okay.

So I think I know why I'm so sensitive about the PUBG thing and Fortnite thing is because when we started making red versus blue, it wasn't an overnight success, but it basically was like falling up a cliff. The first episode had 3,000 views, and they made a million views a week by the end of the month. And then we were informed that we were part of this genre called machinima.

And then there was, there was how many? Like a thousand other machinimas in the next few years. You versus red. Yeah. And there was all color versus color. Yeah, and they all looked, they all looked kind of the same because they used the Halo engine.

So there was all this brand confusion and then of course then the big M machinima started as a company, that made it even worse. So I guess that's where that sensitivity comes from. Yeah, I'm kind of the same way. That's why I'm like a PUBG loyalist. Like I haven't even tried Fortnite for Fortnite. Balleroy out, like say no, no, no, fuck that.

I'm just playing PUBG. Yeah, play that Fortnite. I played a bunch of PUBG over the weekend. Well, I'm just playing PUBG. Yeah, play that Fortnite. I played a bunch of PUBG over the weekend. Well, I recognize too, that there were other games like The Culling, there were some other Battle Royale games, people had tried it, but Culling, there was other machinima stuff that was out, you know? But it wasn't like a thing thing until there was something popular to then genre eyes and turn into everything else.

Yeah, it was not a genre until PUBG came out. And now it's like the Battle Royale genre. I agree. Yeah, we've been playing game on Halo 2. I used to talk to a Gav about it. We used to play a game where we would play on lockout. Is that Halo 2? Yeah.

And we would start with random weapons and you only had one life. So then when you killed somebody, if you had the needler, you could pick up the rocket launch. So it's interesting. We always like that kind of gameplay. Did you see, last year at E3S.O, a game I was really interested in

and they just announced their release date for it today. It's coming out next month. It's a game for the PS4, it's called Minute. It's an RPG where your lifespan is 60 seconds. So you go and you explore the world for 60 seconds, then you die, then with the knowledge you learned in that 60 seconds, you respawn and play another 60 seconds. So it's cool.

So it's like, you're just replaying this life over and over 60 seconds at a time, trying to build up enough knowledge to explore the world and complete the game. That's interesting. It's a really interesting context. I've played another game that I really enjoyed, but I didn't play it for very long.

It was a 60 second game, but the way it works is, it's like kind of like that fallout 1950s futuristic style and there's a nuclear alert that a missile's about to hit. So you have 60 seconds to run through your house and get to the bombshells. I played that game. Yeah, and then you, I thought it's a cold. It's like 60 seconds to live. Yeah, that's what it is.

Yeah, something like that. And I don't know, I really liked it. But you just played a game that I recommended, and that I really enjoyed. 60 seconds, that's what it's called. Is that what it's called? Yeah. And the game that we played was a mobile game called Lifeline.

God, Lifeline was so good. It's good, right? Yeah. It's free. Is it? It's like a book 99. Yeah. But yeah, it's an interesting way to approach a narrative. It's almost like right? It's free. It's free. Is it? No, it's like a book 99. Yeah.

But yeah, it's an interesting way to approach a narrative. It's almost like choose your own adventure, but time-based, because you can't just plow through it. Which helps the immersion factor of it. So basically, have we talked about in the podcast? No, I don't think so. So basically, you play as a person who works, it's in the future, where the space travels very common

to humans, but they haven't discovered aliens and things like that. And you play as a person who works, it's in the future where their space travel is very common to humans, but they haven't discovered aliens and things like that. And you play as a person who works in like mission control and then an astronaut who is marooned on a planet starts getting in contact with you and is asking you for help. His name is Taylor. And then you will help Taylor. You basically make Taylor's choices for him a lot of them, but they're pretty much in real time. So he says, Hey, there's a crater and I'm going to start walking towards it.

And you say, I think that's a great idea. Go for it. And he goes, okay, I'm going to start walking a message you in a while. And then he goes away for like five hours, and then you get a message on your phone. What your phone does buzz again. You get really excited. Oh my God. I'm sure that's going to happen.

Yeah. Or he goes to sleep. And he's asleep for like 10, 12 hours. Is this a game you're talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I was game called Lifeline. Is this the one that's a one-minute long life? No, no, no We started with that and that's how we ended up a lifeline. Yeah, so you guys look like you just came in from outside We did that was a tense debate. It was a

It was a long debate I feel like honestly both stakes were better than both stakes last time. Yeah, really honestly both like I was saying this outside both stakes were better than both steaks last time. Yeah, it's really, that's good to know. Honestly, both, like I was saying this outside, both steaks are better than most steaks I have at, like fancy restaurants, like including steak places. I was very impressed. High praise. Very high praise. High praise.

Well listen, if you can learn to cook a steak, it's great, it's, because you can make it just the way you like it and a steak restaurant will never quite be. Is that you implying that we need to learn from that? You should fucking look at me. The most difficult part. The most difficult part, in my opinion, of cooking a steak or cooking a good steak is finding a good source of meat. Or finding like a good-

Like usually a cow. Cut of meat that you want to cook. Like a lot of times I'll go to the store and be like, these all look terrible. I don't have a grill. So I don't know if that affects my ability cook. Like a lot of times I'll go to the store and be like, these all look terrible. I don't have a grill. So I don't know if that affects my ability to really cook a good dish. I use a cast iron pan. Just use a fireplace.

I don't have that either. Cast iron pan, 20 bucks. And that, the thing about a cast iron pan, people always talk about it in weird ways. Like people say, oh, my cast iron pan is basically a non-stick pan. I use it for, so that's not what it's for at all. It's mainly meant to get to really high heats

and to retain that heat. So if you basically use the sous vide thing, the sous vide cooker, you can get it for like 70 bucks. And what I have is like 99 bucks. Okay. And then you're pretty much done. That 99 bucks and then the thing, I mean, the steak sir, 20 bucks each.

So water in it. Well, you got it in the water. That expensive water. And the container. And you have to buy a lighter, eventually. Not for the sous-vix, but for. But like, the seasoning on mine is just a little bit of garlic powder.

Salt, a lot of salt. Yeah. And then pepper. Do you salt the meat before you put anything else onto extract liquid? Or like, I've never done a sous-vix. Like, how does it work? I do the garlic first. I found that works better if I put the garlic powder down first, because I kind of've never done a sous vide. Like how does it work? I do the garlic first.

I found that works better if I put the garlic powder down first because that kind of infuses a little bit and then I put the salt on it draws out and it starts at deterioration of the muscle fibers. But I mean, I got those steaks ready today at like one o'clock. I saw you in the kitchen, yeah, during like right after lunch time already starting to get. Yeah, that was a creature that ate humans

and disgusting. I know, right? I know. In the list of blas, they detail you're doing. What kind of rub did you use on it? It breaks down the muscle fiber, it's no big. No big.

Just give it a bit of a, just give it this kind of good old rub. It's hard to find good quality human. Yeah. Yeah. He also the way we talk about the different cuts, it's like this is co-baid big. Oh, this is like Floridian So good. That was my lap. They spend all their time in the sun

Glorious so we were gonna we have three judges because in the case of a tie We can't have a decided, but I think I'm allowed to say that we all vote it was unanimous for the same state really So should I go ahead and present? Yeah, you're on the hook for this too Really? So should I go ahead and present? You should present the Patrick Grierry on the hook for this too. Yeah, take out my boat. Okay.

The winner of the 2018 Risteteeth Steak Off. Oh, GoPro. It's buddy, bud. Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Congratulations, Mr. Burr. It's so good to have the trophy back for another one to five years.

Yeah. We're the only one who can't do it. But I actually felt awful having to award it because they were both phenomenal. They were both really fun. It's like bittersweet, right? Like you say that the stakes are better than last year. So I was like, oh, that's good. But then I got no votes. It's like, mother fucker.

Yeah, I guess I was saying it was rarer, juicier. And the pep was phenomenal. The rub on yours was phenomenal. And with the bit of the spiciness that the ticket took away from it. No, on yours was phenomenal. With the beer pair. The spicyness that the ticket took away from it. No, I don't think anything took away from it. I think yours was just so it was like eating steak that was also butter.

Like it was just. I bought more expensive steak. That was helpful. And the way it was cooked and yeah. The pairing was nice. We were talking about it when we came in. It's like next time I do this, I'm definitely bringing my own grill.

Yeah. It's difficult to cook with a grill that you don't know how to get the heat just right or where the hot spots are. They were both so good. I was going back and forth. I was making sure I really had them picked. But I think the mushrooms and potatoes are also very good.

Also very good. And I said, Dishon, don't forget the warm nuts. The warm nuts are completely irrelevant to my vote. They definitely what are appetite. I will I sometimes show up in Gavin's office and hand him a little thing of warm nuts. I try to find you. I can never find you. So what I just want to say is what I say that this is not actually is a friendly competition. Of course. This doesn't really matter so much. Who wins? You know,

but it is important to recognize. There are no winners. There is just one winner. Do you think they'll replace your Emmy nominated with two-time steak off winner? I'm a two-time, the two-time steak off Tesla. That was the first one, honestly, that was batscoring. That was the thing. Yeah. So the reason we have the steak off today

is we're going to try to make it an annual thing where we normally have it around the first day of spring. So first day of spring is typically March 21st. And it is our overall goal to have at least one food-based special per quarter. the annual thing where we normally have it around the first day of spring. So first day of spring's typically March 21st. And it is our overall goal to have at least one food-based special per quarter. Well, we're working on that. We have the pancakes, the steak.

What else do we do? We're gonna do a ton of Tuesday Monday. Taco's no. No, Sunday Monday. Sunday Monday. Sunday Monday. That's hard, because ice cream melts real fast. Not a problem around.

It's no chance to melt. Only the steak off is a competition, right? I think so. Because otherwise it's the other time. She just makes that. We're not gonna make ice cream. Isn't really a competition, guys? Or is it just us making steaks?

Forget it. It really is. I don't know how we can come out. How we can come out. Managed to re-slawer away into it. I was saying out there when we were deciding on the thing. I was like, I was just off the stuff in my fat face with steak. And I was like, I said to Barbara, I was like, do you ever think you'd have

Bernie and Gus from Vest's Blue? Who can you steak? I know, like if we had to tell 15-year-old us. And at your job. You're not just hanging out with them. One day, you will be paid for church and simmons to make you steak. That's mental. The email chain that took place this weekend where Gus just said, hey, we really, great idea of Gavin and Barbara, you made the stakes for me and Bernie. What was my reply? Your reply was, I think that's a super shitty, shitty idea.

That is super dumb, shitty dumb idea. Yeah, I'm so happy that you responded that way. And Barbara was, I'm 30 years old and have never made a stake in my life. I'm 28 years old and I've never made a stake for myself. Never made a stake. Never round up a woman. That's true, myself never made a stake never round up a woman That's right. All right. I will never round up a line

Unless I'm sorry Barbar's exact reply was I've never cooked a stake in my life So unless you want to die I suggest you and Bernie still make the stakes Gus Well, it was my yours was I think that's a really shitty super shitty idea And I just wrote fat cats back at We'll take care of it. So we actually had a point shitty idea. I just wrote fat cats. Fat cats. We'll take care of it. So we actually had a plan in place. I'm dying.

You had a plan in place? We had a plan in place. Which was that we were going to sit there and have you guys watch us make mistakes. And then right as we went to serve to you, we're going to bring in Joel and Matt and Jeff and just feed them instead. But none of them would stay after fun.

Yes. Couldn't be done. Well, I could say that was a competition very well done. Are you okay, you're all like teary eyed, never? Yeah. You good? So you got rounded up. No, I'm not that bad. No, I start choking and I was laughing so hard

that I'm still choking. Well, I did what I was getting ready today. By the way, hats off to the broadcast. Yeah. You guys, you guys shot three different things today. Including it. Can we say that the first thing they shot? Yes.

Here's in half-wits, which always takes for fucking ever. Then they shot a episode of Always Open. And they got ready for this like multi-camera. The only peeks you were outside, but when I did the transition from in here to out there at the top of the show, they followed me with a really sweet jib shot. No shit.

Yeah, go out there. I can then like flip back to the outside. Yeah, if the rest, where's the rest of the day? Can you guys get it? Oh, they followed me with a really sweet jib shot. No shit. Yeah, go out there. Yeah. If I can then like flip back to the outside. Yeah, if the rest, where's the rest of the douching body? Did you guys get it? Oh, they're out. I gave some to. Yeah, I gave some to. They're gone.

No, I gave some to Jake to bring back to you guys. I think they ate it. Have you guys eat it? You guys had some, and so, OK, OK. They're good, don't worry. They got those two complete set changes. And one had a multiple pot. Yeah.

Yeah. That's just crazy. And then I think what time you guys started on Heroes and one had a multiple part. Yeah, yeah, that's just crazy. And then I think what time you guys started in here is in Halfwoods. Early, like 8am or something? Yeah, I was here at 9. I was the first cast person here. Yeah, he doesn't count. He left.

Fucking teachers pet, look at you. You had a full day then, because you were here in the morning and then. I've had, I mean, not as long as them. But apparently, when we were getting ready, I was out there at like noon, getting some of the stuff ready to go, like getting the little oven out of my bus and everything. And then Jeff walked up and he actually said

that this is not legitimate competition because he is not invited. So he's officially invited to the, is it like, you can get this test? Next year. He's gonna do his green egg. He can make all of us. Wait, does that mean we the... Oh, next year? Next year? Next year. He's gonna do his green egg. He can make all of us. Wait, does that mean we could have three steaks next year?

Well, as long as you and Gavin let's cook steaks, yeah. We should do a blind steak preparation next year where the judges don't know which steak. Oh, that's interesting. I agree with that. We'll be just off for like three minutes. Right, like the judges are in here. Preparation happens out there.

Then someone from broadcast brings the steaks in. Yeah. Very interesting. I do wanna say that the two times that we've done this, I'm going to say the two years, but the two times that we've done this, Gus has also tried something novel as well. You did the mustard this time. And last time you did the Korean inspired, right? The Korean inspired, right?

The marinade. Mine have both been very straight up traditional stakes. So I'd be curious to see you try it. I like eating my steaks very traditionally. Normally it's just like salt and pepper, and that's it. But I feel like when you're, when I'm doing something here on camera,

like I want to do, add something a little different, do something that stands out a little more. Well, I appreciate it because it's, it gives us a little variety, and I can just like lean on this like traditional method with potatoes. Which is a potato. Oh, really?

Oh, potatoes are awesome. I'm also kind of upset now, I know that mushrooms. That little oven can cook potatoes that well because now I'm just gonna be in my bus eating potatoes. Stodged, I don't know. Oh, that's the oven from your bus? Yeah.

Oh, shit, I didn't realize that. That little oven, yeah. The mushrooms are really good, too. Yeah. No, everything worked out great. All the timing. Hard part about that kind of thing is the timing of it all coming out at the same time.

Cooking any meal is timing everything to be hot. I think the worst. We're also trying to coordinate against each other as well. So we both want to play it more or less the same time. True. So it's like you're working independently on your things. I'm working independently on mine. And then we're constantly checking in with each other.

Like, how long do you think you got? How long do you think you got? You know what was actually better than both states, the company. Wow. Kill yourself that when you're on the toilet later tonight. How are you feeling, Gaff? Right now I feel great. Good. Okay. Kill yourself that when you're on the toilet later tonight. How you feeling, Gav? Right now, I feel great. Good.

Keep us updated. I'm feeling a gurgle. No, I'm just kidding. I feel great. Well, a little gurgle. I've only gotten food poisoning once in my life. Once again, I ate a lot of both, so I'll never know which. What should Barbara eat, Gus, to give her food poisoning?

She told me, though. Oh, she knows. Do you know, Gav, what was she? Yes, Barbara ate. Oh, sushi. I was going to say fish as well. Some kind of fish. Oh, she knows. Do you know Gavin? What was he? Yes, Barbara 8. Oh, sushi. I was gonna say fish as well. Some kind of fish. Did I tell you this?

You told me out there. No, I said I thought I had gotten poisoning. Oh, so it wasn't that thing? That was last night, yeah. No, that was something else. So this is some other time you got food poisoning. All the time you got food poisoning in your life. I'm gonna say it came from chicken.

It was chicken. Yeah, it was from chicken. It was chicken. Yeah, it was chicken wings. It was the best up right? Chicken wings, huh? Chicken wings that I had at a little wood roast. Back down south when we used to work down south. I was actually out with, I think, you, Michael and Lindsay, went home woke up at like two in the morning

and wrecked my bathroom for the next 12 hours. Nice. I'm lucky in that I've always had incidents in bathrooms that have a bath right next to the toilet. So when you're coming out of both ends at the same time, oh, never had that. You never had that? That happened to me in New Zealand.

The only thing I got a whole week to go. Oh really? Just bad. Just like, just hanging on by a thread. What's going on? When your body doesn't like something, it needs to get it out. Yeah, I guess so.

And if it means liquefying your bow, it's not gonna use the emergency exit. Yeah, you could lower it. Gonna pop that rift out. What is that? Is it just like your body just floods your digestive system with fluids? So it's like, get everything out.

Get everything out, yeah. Gross. Yeah, like what is the actual, because you contract all your stomach and it comes up, right? But what causes all the grossness feeling before that? Yeah, I don't know. Is it just mental?

Or are you actually releasing saliva up or everything? You're just being, it's just sickness. Oh, you have to treat your brain, spitting and crepping. It knows. Your mouth feels with spit. It's how you know you're about to tell, right? It's like, oh.

I also start whenever I have to throw up, I always feel pressure like right up here. I get that too. Like in my temples. I get that spit. I can feel like up, I always feel pressure like right up here. I get that too. Like in my temples. I get that big. I can feel like that's big. I can feel like that. That's a bit.

Oh my god. Oh no, it's coming. Which is just trying to protect your teeth from stomach acid. So gross. Did you start happening to me all the time in high school? I used to get these really bad migraines, and I was walking home from school,

and I used to get these black spots in my eyes, like in my vision. Holy cow. And that's when I knew that I was gonna get a migraine, so I would get home and knew like within an hour I was gonna have this terrible migraine and the only way that it would go away is if I threw up.

And so they would get so bad that I would have to vomit but I knew every time after that I'd feel better. Glad you all agree that. Me too. Yeah, I used to get them like once a month. I used to get horrible chest pains when I was a kid when I was growing. And it's like they went to the doctor and everything

and they said no, it's just growing pains. I'm like, what the fuck does that mean? What your muscles are pulling your ribs apart? Yeah, carilage was just getting ripped apart or something like that. Like the Hulk. He gets stabbing pain in my side, like, oh, fuck. We were talking about, you know,

obviously we had to stake off, we're talking about food preparation. Have I talked to any of you about that show on Netflix, nailed it? No. Nailed it? No. It's a baking competition where they have three competitors

who aren't very good at baking and they're presented with a really complex task that they have to create. And it's just, for half an hour, they said it it down. Did they get a recipe? Right, they have a recipe in front of them. It's like, these are the steps, make this incredible cake of like jaws, eating a surfer.

So is it like, kind of layman make? Right. And a masterpiece with all the stuff and surfer. So is it like kind of layman make, right? And a masterpiece with all the stuff and all the instructions. And they can't. And it's gonna be me and Gavin next year at the stay-go. It's just like watching this train wreck.

I watched an episode the other day where one of the bakers put her baking pan into the oven to start baking her cake, but she forgot to put flour in there. Oh no. So it was like a brick. It was like, I think they had a lower third that explained, if you leave out flour, you're basically making an omelet.

Yeah. Oh, I think I meant flour to make it non-stick. No, no, no. It should no flour in the rest. It was just eggs and milk. That'd be actually a really funny series of pictures. If you have the complete masterpiece, and then make it again like 10 times,

but each one has a different ingredient missing. That's just what it looks like. Just paste. Anyway, it's only like half hour episodes. It's really funny. So I'm the cook in my house. I do a lot of the cooking. Oh my God, cooking.

Yeah, I bet you do. And I think it's kind of a ruse because I think everyone is like, oh, you're cooking so good so that you'll continue to cook, but then nobody else cooks. Yeah. I think there should be a deal though, if someone else cooks. Somebody else should do the cleanup.

There's a dish. That's always the way it is. That's not in my house at all. You do everything? A little bit. But you have kids, that's what kids are for, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, well I make them go outside and like work on the lawn

and take the trash out and stuff like that. They're all not for that. So does Ashley have a cook? Are you just calling out Ashley in this? A little bit. No, no, they don't do the dishes. They don't, I mean, they're bad. I mean, they do do dishes, but I'd like,

get on them all fucking time about it. The big thing in our house is, just get one fucking glass. That's it. Don't get a new glass every time you go. I use just a long, like, sport cup. Sport cup? Let's just get a cup.

Like a water bottle. Yeah. I don't know why I could have sport cup. Sport cup? Like a water bottle. Yeah, I'm just like, I'm going to sport stuff. But yeah, it's like, Tony has like 19 glasses over her nightstand stacked sometimes because I'll bring a coffee and then they're, you know, she'll have to move a glass and it'll go on top of another one. And I just have like, yeah, one water bottle. I just reuse my water cup for night,

like because I just have like a water cup that I use on my bedside table. So yeah, if you leave water out one night and it just sat in the air, it gets all... I mean, I finished the water before I go to the grill. You're like a little girl in science. Yeah, so just everyone have a glass of water by their bedside.

Am I the weirdo for not having one? The thing you should do it. I started drinking water before I got a bed and as soon as I wake up and it makes a big difference. Yeah, it makes it very helpful. Yeah, I fill my bottle and then I'll, if I wake up in the night and it's AC and hot, I'll just have a sip and then in the morning, I'll just chug it it's very helpful. Yeah, I fill my bottle and then I if I wake up in the night and it's AC and hot I'll just have a sip and then in the morning I'll just chug it when I wake up. Yeah

I don't know if it's true or not or if it's just some like myth But apparently drinking like ice water helps your metabolism like at night because your body's trying to like heat it up Mm-hmm. I felt like not matter drink much water at night there because you'll just get up to pee I never do I felt like I don't want to drink much water at night there, because you'll just get up to pee. I never do. Nighty, I get a wants. Every night? No, but if I drink a big glass of water before and yeah. I gotta get up at like three or four.

So you need a beer bladder, you can go to the bathroom. I wake up every four hours anyway, that's a weird thing with me. Do you really? Yeah, and then I can decide, all right, I'm just gonna go back to sleep for another like four hour unit, and I do that. But I can like, I can go to the,

do that, who is it that's only slept two hours at a time or? They say they're about nine, five, nine, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, I can like, I can go to that, well who is it that's only slept two hours with a timer? It's like, they say they're about nine, five hours. It was the only thing that they did, at least, DaVinci. Yeah, and he's got in that rotation where he'd sleep two to three hours and would do that all day.

Monty's sleep schedule is always all over the place. I never sleep for just random chunks whenever he felt like it, when he was a baby. Yeah, I think that he was not working. It was a creativity too. Like he would have these huge bursts of creativity. Like he'd work on something like two months. It's like money. We got to get this like this You gotta get these shots done and everything and he's like, uh-huh Yeah, like that's it and it's like we get closer close to like muddy

It's three days left for the deadline. We got to get the shots because he'd be like, huh? I did him last night It's like all of them. He's like all of them He just would stay up for 40 hours and get them all done like massive burst of creativity. It's like, all of them. It's like, yeah, I took all of them. He just would stay up for 40 hours and get them all done. Like massive burst of creativity. It's always amazing. Have you guys been really tired lately? Is that just me? I was starting January.

I think it's allergies. Is there allergies in the hour change, maybe? It might be allergies, because I've never taken anything for allergies before, and I've been exhausted. Like I've been sleeping nine, 10 hours a day, every day for the last two weeks and I'm still exhausted. Could be depressed.

Maybe it's a tumma. It's not a tumma. There you go. Is that allergies? Is that something that would make you tired? Someone said it could be like of like vitamin D since it's been pretty good. That's true.

Who told you that, Becca? No. She's a vitamin D enthusiast. So are my parents. Yeah. I would bet it's been pretty good. That's true. Who told you that, Becca? No. She's a vitamin D enthusiast. So are my parents. Yeah. Oh, I would bet it's Trevor. Oh, he gets a lot of vitamin D. Oh, vitamin D is good.

It was good. But the best thing about vitamins now is vitamins are all gummies now. So you just take one of them. You got me. I love gummies. They're too good now. Right.

I want to take more than two. I do. I take a ton of vitamins every day. It's taking about a handful. Bernie, just burst into vitamins. Yeah, it's a great idea. Whoever made vitamins in the gummies, they were thinking, that was smart.

It's because you don't like swallowing a pill. You see, it's good. See, the gummies. It's like a, you're like a dog when they put like a pill in like the little greenier, like the little pill pocket. Yeah, exactly. They don't want to take the pill,

but if it's like in the side of the treat, yeah. Go for it. I like put it in peanut butter. Faded cold. But when I was a kid, we had, they didn't really have any more children's aspirin tasted like oranges, which is a terrible idea, because then kids would just eat a bunch of fat.

Can you OD on aspirin? Yes, I think it does something like a thing. They need your blood, yeah. You just, you hemorrhage out. Ugh. Yeah. Have you ever wondered how, there are some things in the world that just work, but I don't really understand

the science of it. Like, whenever you have to force feed a pet, like a pill or something, or they have to have something, you just kind of just shove it in the mouth and close it. Like, that's the method to get into it and it just goes away. I feel like if someone did that to me, there's no way it would go down.

No way. But it just works with animals. Yeah, they just, I guess I'll swallow this thing and then move on with life. Well, though I've recently been using like a squirty, syringe thingy. Well, my head dog, we did this thing with my dog growing up where we would do whatever we could

to make the dog eat a piece of lettuce. And it was amazing. Like we put it, rubbed it in bacon grease and then come around and eat lettuce. Which is curious. Like the dog to eat less. I'm curious The dog wouldn't eat lettuce like we'd give it like leftovers or something and like I like I'd hand it my cheeseburger As a kid and the lettuce would always be left afterwards and one time I put bacon grease and Peanut butter all over piece of lettuce and gave it to the dog dog took it chop chop chop swallow spit out a perfectly clean piece of lettuce

Dogs ate less. Yeah, yeah Dogs ate lettuce. Yeah. Get the sunlight. Yeah, sure. Dogs hate lettuce. Please don't. Please no more. Was this grapes thing? Did the do dogs get sick from grapes? Dogs can eat grapes.

They can't eat grapes. Why not? Dogs can eat grapes. I'm not a dog. I've read some onions and chocolate, dark chocolate, especially. Dog's can't eat a lot of crap. I think the chocolate thing that tell kids

say kids won't feed their dogs chocolate. I'm not sure I believe it. Why would any kid get up chocolate for a dog? Because kids are stupid. It's like, I think it's funny to feed a dog chocolate. And chocolate. Yeah, you'll be able to find that out if that was fake. Like if you look up on Google,

it tells you Santa Claus is real. Oh, I've seen horrible videos from veterinary clinics of dogs just like, just vomiting and incredible volume. Oh my god. It's a lot of chocolate. Oh. Yeah.

But you still don't believe it. I'm just making a joke. Oh. I'm just writing content for the world. Some of the things I say over here, I actually don't believe. Believe it or not. What? What do we do?

It's true. How do we keep on? Man, there's been, there's been, it's been crazy in Austin cuz it's South by Southwest right? Oh, it's fucking hate it. Thankfully. That's finally over Would you see there's best be waited three or three and a half hours in line to see aisle of dogs last night or two nights ago? I didn't want to see that movie I don't I don't want to understand why every dog in that movie is a white person What do you mean you can cast right right it's like it's a movie

Sending with Japanese people but white dogs Like there's not one Japanese person is a dog maybe I'm wrong, but like I look at the cats Japanese right But like all the people are Japanese and all the dogs are white I know the whole the whole point is the dogs that speak English Yeah, maybe there's a story behind it. No, I know, but in real life. Hey, sync Patrick's Day, is that cultural appropriation? I think it's taken that way a lot of times.

Well, because everyone does it. Like, everyone like, I'm Irish. I don't give a shit if people celebrate my heritage by getting hammered and we're fucking leprechauns. I mean, in any other culture, there would be wildly insulting. To me, I think it's fucking funny. Go for it. To the Irish embrace, St. Patrick's Day,

I've never been to Ireland on St. Pace. I'm gonna start even a big deal. Yeah, I don't use it. Is, I'm just annoyed that it's so much better than, what, okay, what is the English day? Boxing day. No. I got fuck.

Let's steal day. I'll give you a hint. It's St. Someone's. Slivins. St. Christopher? St. Sliven. St's living St Christopher. St. Christopher St. Slivin St. Gibbons day St. Quij I love that bean baby.

The story goes that he drove the snakes out of Ireland, but apparently that's a metaphor for he was driving the pagans out of Ireland. And the pagans. They just referred to the pagans as snakes. The pagans were very quick to point that out to you every St. Patrick's day. Richard the Lionheart. A big fan. It was a central Christian commander during the third crusade. He stayed in the campaign after the departure. I filled the second of France, scoring considerable victories against the the Muslim counterpart Saladin although he did not retake Jerusalem from Saladin. What do you die?

1199? Here's what I've learned about this dude. There's a lot of places in Europe that claim to be the place where he died. It's a good thing. I don't know why. According to Wikipedia, it's someplace in France. There you go, France. Yeah. A lot of places claim it. Why would they claim that, especially it's like that information is historical. It's like a thing. It's just died here. Yeah, but if that information exists publicly somewhere, then why would I don't know? It just seems we're told like lie about something to improve tourism or whatever it is when that information exists. I think it's like the, what are the dark ages?

That's the number of the dark ages, right? Somewhere on there. It's, it's Peter, I'm sorry to go back. I'm not creating much of these. Is Peter Hayes Irish? Yeah. He wrote, it's a big deal and the vast, vast majority of us like that it's become an international thing.

Like it. Oh, okay. There you go. That's because of the new world. Dark ages. They're talking about the time I went to Ireland and I got a cab. No.

And the guy that was driving it, he said, I said, I'm really happy to be coming to Ireland. He goes, he goes, he's never been here before. And I said, nope, I said in my family's Irish. So I just like, I've always wanted to come back here. And he like stopped, slowed the car way down. And he goes, your Irish, the car way down. And he goes, you're Irish? He goes, you're of Irish descent.

And I said, yeah. And he goes, from America? And I said, yeah. He goes, I've never heard anyone of that before. And I said, oh, really, you have? And he goes, no, fucking all the time. And then he starts going again. And he was like, what the fuck is going on?

And I was like, that would be a sincere conversation. I was like, yeah, fuck off. But he told me that there's was like, what the fuck a guy? It was like, don't worry, I have this sincere conversation, I'm gonna fuck off. But he told me that there's something like, there's something like 10 times the amount or more of people of Irish descent in the world than there are actually Irish people. Like there's more Irish descent people outside of Ireland

than there are actually people in Ireland. By significant amount. Well, I think there's something similar vein in that, but I think there's more Jewish people in New York City than they are in Israel. Yeah, I think I've heard that before. Wow, is that true? Well, they, a lot of them relocated,

but the middle of last century. Also, Israel's tiny. Yeah, you've been there, right? I have. I went there for birthright. It was awesome. It was beautiful. Well, expenses paid.

All expenses paid. 8.5 million people in Israel.right. It was awesome. It was beautiful. All expenses paid. All expenses paid. 8.5 million people in Israel. 8.5 million people. That's a lot. And not all of those are Jewish. But not all of those for Jewish. No, I wouldn't even guess 8.5 million people in Israel. Wow, that's a lot.

And it's just a tiny little sliver. Who pays for these trips? I'm pretty sure I've asked you this before. Rich Jewish people in synagogues. They just fund the faith. Then benefactors. What is the word? Is that the word?

Benefactors. It's not like a Jewish tax that they take from. No, but there's no Jewish tax. You don't have to pay a Jewish tax when you're born Jewish. Well, no, a baby's can't pay tax. It's gonna be stupid barbell. Right, I know. Do you have to be above a certain age to pay tax?

No, you said you're an income. Right, but if someone gives you a million dollars and you above a certain age to pay tax? No, you said you earned income. Right, but if someone gives you a million dollars and you're eight, do you pay tax? Yes. Gift tax, estate tax maybe. That's fine. Who gives it to? Trying to think of loopholes.

My money's not taxed if I give it to a baby first. The baby gives it back to me. The real tax that was giving an eight year old for a million dollars, that would be horrible for that person's upbringing. I would have known if without any parents. That baby would get audited so hard. For without any parents,

if you just gave a briefcase of cash to an eight year old, what would he, how far could he get with it? Like would he end up buying a Ferrari? So I actually had an idea for a feature on the front page of Roocharteev. Way back when we started Achievement Hunter, when Jack started doing written articles for the front page. And wildly popular. Yeah, wildly popular.

Best Achievement Guide of All Time or whatever it was. What was the thing that they put on the front of every video? The greatest Achievement Guide of All Time. That's what it was. Yeah. And he played some World War II game that had like, it had when he got shot, if the screen turned red, there'd be veins on the side, and it kept screaming, it was spaghetti, I can't remember what the fuck the game was.

I had to go back and watch that. But I wanted to do a little feature, which is give a group of people a hundred bucks each. So it's like 10 people to thousand bucks. So we're gonna give you a hundred bucks and, a hundred bucks each. So it's like 10 people to 1,000 bucks. So we're gonna give you 100 bucks and then a disposable camera. And then all you have to do is take a picture of whatever you buy. And then turn the camera back into us.

And if you turn the camera back in, we'll go like, just so we get the cameras back, we get like 50 bucks. But I want to try like a homeless person. You get a homeless person, 100 bucks. What would they buy with 100 bucks? You get a kid 100 bucks, what a kid bought 100 bucks. And then like Joel.

But like just random people, what would kid bought 100 bucks and then like Joel But like just random people what would they spend a hundred dollars on this? Just totally disposal in come and also you've got to spend it like the next week You got to spend the hundred dollars. Well, just spend on If I had to spend it on something I probably would buy I probably would back that I probably would about a video game at 60 bucks Is it happening for yourself? You know those communities stipulations, just have to put, like what I was in document, what I was. I forgot about that idea.

It's a good one. Yeah, I'd be curious. Like what do people do with money? You couldn't buy more than 30 things. Okay, so the disposable camera? Yeah, well, yeah. Well, you could always buy another camera. Or put everything in one photo.

Or put everything in one photo. Look at that, Barbus. Oh shit That's a really boring. Hopefully it was a blowjob That would be really awkward to get that back from the photo place What was the last time you got photos developed? I think that's what was the last time we go blow I was talking about that. What was the last time you got a blowjob? I got a blowjob I can't even imagine I I can't imagine. I must have been a teenager.

Yeah, I don't know. It's been a long time. You guys just used a disposable camera on the podcast on off topic. Yeah, let's just check this one. But you had to get them developed, not them. An intern. Where did they get film developed?

There's a couple of cameras here. Camerastors here. You don't have your own darkroom. Have you done a darkroom? Yeah, what? In college. In college. I failed the class. It's only photography class that are taken.

You failed the only photography class you've ever taken. Wow, that's ironic. Art for entire visual photographer. I failed the photography class. But you were great. It was good having you here while you worked here. Sorry, I had to go this way. I've never done darkroom stuff class. But you're great. It was good having you here while he worked here. Yeah. Sorry, I had to go this way.

I've never done dark room stuff ever. I did dark room stuff. Well, you failed on the machinima class, right? Well, yeah, I'm a college student of a class. I'm a college student of a failed. Yeah, Matt didn't make it into film school. He just, I think, recently revealed that in the 15th anniversary dark.

Like his grades weren't high enough? No, he just had to get accepted into the film school at UT and he didn't get accepted. So he got a communications degree and not a social personality. Yeah, probably. Probably. Just awful to be around.

Hanging with the wrong crowd. Yeah, kind of thing. Patrick's telling me that CVS still develops film. Yeah, I was gonna say pharmacies. Walgreens does still do it. For like Walgreens and CVS. Walgreens is this thing now where I will go with, like my picture wall that we've talked about before.

Yeah. I go to the USB stick and wall that we've talked about before. Yeah. I go to the USB stick and just print out a bunch of photo quality prints. Yeah, like staples. Because they're not, they look like garbage. I don't have photo paper. I don't have a Link Jet printer and I don't have a color printer of any kind.

It's one of the things I can never justify the expense because you use it like once every two years. Maybe you should spend you a hundred bucks on a nice photo printer. Yeah. Oh, should the neck pop? Yeah. That was good. I never, I never can make that work. Have you grown that photo while it all?

Yeah. Yep. I had to remove a couple people. Oh, shit. Why are you pointing this way? Why are you? No, I'm fine. That's fine.

It's okay. It's okay. Man, I had a really frustrating experience this weekend. Oh, I feel like I want to guess. Was it really just outside? No, no, it was not really just outside. I don't know, yes. So I'm going to do a little bit of renovation.

So I thought, okay, I'm going to go to a store that has tiles and look at tiles for this renovation I want to do. Bathroom. Bathroom. Kitchen. So I'm a driving and I see this, like I would want to do. Bathroom. Hmm? Bathroom? Kitchen. So I'm driving and I see this, like I would went to one place and I was driving back home and I saw another place on the side of the road. I was like, oh, there's another tile place here.

I'm going to go in there and check it out. Walk in, they're like, hey, welcome. What are you up to? I said, I want to do renovation. I want to look for tiles for my kitchen. That's great. What are you looking for? I tell them, they're like, okay, this is a part of the story you want to be in.

You look here to here, like all this stuff that you're going to want is right here. Great. So I'm there with Esther. So far so good. We spent about an hour and a half going through every tile they have. We're like, this, what about this, what about that? Finally, we have like, okay, this is what we want to get. I go up to the front of the store and I'm like, all right, they give you a piece of paper

and a pencil so you can write down what you want. It's like I wrote it down and I I'd run a bunch of stuff down, scratch it all out, finally found the one that we liked. It's like, okay, go up to the front of store. We're like, all right, you know, this is the one that we're gonna want. You know, how does this process work? Do we like tell you and you order it or what happens?

They're, oh no, we don't sell the tile to you. I said, what? What? We're just a showroom, we're a wholesaler. You have to call someone else to buy the tile and they buy the tile and you pay them. And I said, Do you have a list of people who sell your tile there? No, we don't.

What is the business? What? I was like, how do they pay rent? So you have a showroom full of tile and you let me spend an hour and a half here and I can't buy any of the tile? Like, yeah. I was like, uh, okay. And I just left.

So now you're not gonna get that tile. I'm not gonna get that tile. I spent an hour and a half here. Have they not even have the- They didn't even ask me when I got there. Like, oh my god. And they would tell me they were like, here, yeah, go look at the tile, write it down.

Like, what the fuck did I write it down? And I do what with it. What did they do with the paper? I don't know. Just keep it. Maybe. Well, how does the person get paid who's you're talking to?

I don't know. Where's your paycheck come from? Yeah, there's's no referent like if you do find out who is the retailer of that like how do they get any Reference back how does the company making money? I want to open a grocery store and then they bring everything to be I'm like you should probably go to HB and buy all that yeah, yeah, we don't sell it to you We'll sell it to them. No, but don't even say HB be sure if that's fine that's cool. Do you like avocados? I I I've never been so frustrated and angry at this place. I guess it's not always your time because you actually did pick out the tile you wanted. Yeah, but there's the only place that carries that tile.

Look at that, I didn't carry it. I didn't carry it. And they said like we have our own custom tile. And it was like, what is happening? Also, if that was the response I got from someone working at a place like that, I would have punched him in the face. Like, so passive aggressive, just like,

yep, sorry, like come on, dude. I think that like Tesla showrooms in Texas, you can actually, a little bit, although you actually can't then order one from California. You get on their computer and get on the website, and then you can order it there.

Yeah. But the person sitting there couldn't sell it to you. The rules might have changed, but they couldn't even it to you. The rules might have changed, but. I think I have to look at this. They couldn't even tell you the prices for anything. How do you say the name of that car? Tesla.

Tesla. Tesla. Okay. You'll see Tesla. I realize that I say Tesla. A lot of people do. Yeah. I think Blaine does.

Well, how do you say the steak that I made for these peeps today? I don't know why I said peeps. No idea. You told me it's a big piece. Hold me over here. No, the American version of Koga steak. What is it, I can say it? Wagyu.

Wagyu. Wagyu. Wagyu. Why? I would say Wagyu. I've heard Wagyu and I've heard Wagyu. I say Wagyu. Which is wrong.

No, W-A-Y, it's W-A-G-Y. G-Y, yeah, Wagyu. Wagyu is right. I've always said Wagyu. I don't know why. I just call it W. W is wrong. No, W.A. Why is W.A. G. Why? Yeah, why you? Why you? Why you's right? I've always said, wait you. I don't know why I just call it W W B. Dub. W W W W B. So, Tony got these. I'm so tired after eating steak. I mean, I feel like I want to have an beer and some steak and I'm just thinking we're just gonna sleep. I feel great. You guys need some vitamin D. Bunch of potatoes. Tony got some. We used use up for hours today apparently she got 11 because that have lights on them right fuck that Why are they like light up they take?

They like listen to the game and it's like dynamic light But now but then I thought actually that's a great idea, but they're not doing it right, but I want to know if there's a product that does this where The lighting takes information from the game so like if I have 30 rounds in my gun, in PUBG, I'm like, pfff, pfff, pfff, oh, and I like, it was white. But then as I was getting down to like five bullets left, it would go red. And if I see red, it's like, you should reload. But I don't have to look at the HUD to see the information.

And I think they could do more with lighting that actually takes game information and doesn't just listen to the scene. The game has to then, like, there's to be a process for that data transfer to happen. Yeah, but I mean, that data is going through the game. Right, but it's actually coming out of the game.

Like, you need the data to come out. Well, okay, so for a lot of stuff, you could do, so if you're being shot from the left, you could have red light flash on the left because that information is in the audio information. I think games should punish you for reloading before the clips are done. We should lose the ammo. Or take longer.

Like, you're pulling the clip out of the gun and putting bullets in to a clip. That's a lot slower than going clip, clip, right? So you're saying it should take longer if you have an empty clip? No. If you have an empty clip, you just throw away your empty clip. That's it. And then you just throw out pulling the bullets out of the other clip. I keep thinking you guys are saying,

you're like topping it up with individual bullets. Like, you understand? Yeah, see you fired four times. We're not throwing the whole thing away. You're just putting four bullets. I keep thinking you guys are saying, and it's like really messing up. Top off my clip. Yeah, it's just like every time you say,

clip, I hear clip. Click, click. That's it. So if I've got five bullets left in my clip, and I reload, right? I would just, then I gotta put 25 bullets in, pop, pop, put 25 bullets in pop pop pop pop pop pop to get up to 30. Oh you just chuck it Lose the five that's the other way you could do it. Yeah, that's what you're saying That way makes more sense that way does make more sense or you just end up with like clips that have five bullets in them from when you need them later Because my whole thing is like when I play PUBG I run around for 20 minutes. I see something on a hill 350 yards away and I'm like, I can kill that.

Bang, bang, bang, now I'm not gonna need to get close. Then I reload immediately. Like, if I fire my gun, I reload. Absolutely. I'm one of those people. And if I get a kill, I definitely reload. So it's not a good idea. What would you do in real life?

If you fired four out of 30, would you then just thumb for more bullets in? No, yeah, see, no, not at all. I would just fire until I had number of bullets in my gun that I would put a new clip in. But if you had one bullet left, you probably wouldn't rely on that one. I may be, yeah, probably not.

I probably would swap it out. But I also wouldn't be chucking away my clips. Those are expensive. Yeah. I would be keeping my clips and then just reloading them with bullets. What am I doing? When we're wrong in my life,

that I'm like running around shooting stuff, defending my life. If there was an FPS that actually had Real world stuff like you actually have to pull the thing out in VR and then put it in your pocket So you don't lose it then reload I've got the game stuff like that we have to pull up the clip and you have to like line it up Yeah games just it wouldn't be fun. I saw I saw a game and I can't remember what the fuck it was, but it was a very Like pro shooter from what I recall,

very straightforward, but they had a thing in there where once out of every 10,000 reloads, it would just do a random animation. That was battlefield. It was a battlefield. Yeah, come on, the real artist that you're in, the real artist like this. Like really,

the one like, the gun, yeah, it starts like chomping. Yeah. I didn't see that one. I think I saw that one on Reddit. The one you're talking about. But this one was I saw one where the guy like, let's the gun go to floats in mid air and they just start throwing bullets

and they start going into the gun. And the fuel's reactions on whatever the record goes. What the fuck is that? Okay, guys. I love stuff like that. I did too. I wish more people did stuff like that. Like when you play a game on a certain day

and it does stuff, you know? Yeah. I'm super, super, super looking forward I wish more people did stuff like that. Like when you play a game on a certain day and it does stuff, you know? Yeah. I'm super, super, super looking forward to see if these coming out today. And I realized by the time that most people here this podcast, see if these will be out and it'll have major networking connectivity issues

because everyone's trying to play. It comes at what tonight 11 or something? 11 PM tonight. When I walked over to the podcast, Michael Jeremy, Ryan and Jack were in full character making a less play video. No, playing C-Fuse. Yeah.

Are they being pirates? Yeah. They play it early? Yeah. I guess so. Can we play? Can we play it? No, I don't think so.

Is there an embargo? I can't do it anyway. I mean, you can't release it early. They're not streaming. There's no embargo as far as I know, because they said that they're the game's active. The servers are're not streaming. There's no embargo as far as I know, because they said that- But I know the game was active, the servers are active. Yeah, that's what they said.

Like, you wouldn't be able to play the server's active anyway. Yeah, I can't play anyway, because I can't level up my character until I can play with the kids and we don't play on the weekdays. So you have to go with the Friday. Hmm. You got to like, secretly level.

Just make two accounts. I can't tell how I'm gonna secretly level. Make two accounts. What am I doing with my life? I'm making two accounts. Because you want to play during the week. And you're like, yeah, yeah, learn the mechanics. I want to play with my kids. I'm not really the best.

That sounds like it's not a problem then. No, I'm just saying I got to wait, you know. It's just a good patient. I want to play with my kids. If you're great, I could play with my kids tomorrow. Can't do it. Is Ashley gonna play with you? She will play.

It's the one game in our household that everybody plays. Do you need four people? That's the only game all of you play? It's tough. We're all gamers. We're all gamers, but she won't play PUBG, and the kids love it. There's something that JD refuses to play.

I feel like Ashley would love PUBG. Yeah. That's weird, the other game that we play, everyone plays is Don't Starf, but I'm the hold on a mat, because I fucking hate that game. But I'm the hold on a max, I fucking hate that game. I'm like, I will play it out of, like, just solidarity. To socialize it.

Like, alright, I'm playing it. I played that FTL game that you recommended. So good. That FTL game, it's just FTL. It's hard. It's hard. Good. Die real quick.

Yeah. Put it on easy. Put it on easy. I'm never gonna play again when you play. You have a play on something. You cannot, you can't play FTL on normal. You'll play FTL on normal for 100 hours, then you're gonna put it on easy. What do you gotta put on easy? I'm never gonna play again when you're playing. Yeah, you cannot, you can't play FTL on normal. You'll play FTL on normal for a hundred hours then you're gonna put on easy. And you save yourself the hundred hours

to move it to easy now. You can win. You get to the end, you can zone eight, sector eight, whatever it is. Yeah, and then you gotta fight it. You fight the mother ship? Multiple times. It's weird though because the rebellion is the bad guy,

which is like a weird thing for a narrative. Yeah best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a

one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a

one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get a one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get one-way ticket. The best thing to do is to get one-way ticket. mine a hiccups turn that and then suddenly everything will go wrong and it's completely undercover. Play the airbillion sometimes that's a fucking game that'll drive you insane. The obvious. Yep. It says it's a RTS. It's kind of survival rogue game like like it's like FTL where you just do a run to the

game. That's it. And like the you just learn how to play better. And yeah this and on that they are billions you can play for. And yeah, and they are billions, you can play for like two hours in like one zombie, gets into your walls, and it's just everything fucking falls apart. Have you played into the breach?

No, I can't believe that I haven't played it because I love FTL so much. It's a very different game, but very good. It looks like advanced horse. Try to. Yeah, is that? Yeah. Have you guys played Horizon Zero Dawn?

Yes. OK. I think Gus, that might be Gus' favorite game of all time. Maybe, it's up there, yeah. So I've just died, I'm probably five hours in. Oh, it's good. And I'm bloody loving it. It's fucking great game.

It feels like a very big game. And I've never got a platinum trophy before. So I think I might go for it. You know what? I got the platinum in this. But what should I be doing? It's like a slow build for those trophies because I feel like it's a game like Skyrim where it's like, damn, I wish I was doing this the whole time. Just start. I mean, there's really nothing that's gonna fuck you up. What I would recommend is just try to collect as many collectibles. That's it.

Uh, things as you can. Like the memories memories and those audio transcripts. Those are like the little figures. Yeah. And then there's the panorama stuff that you do where you like. Also, just even like the materials, like the supplies, like the flowers and herbs and like the wood and all that. Like you don't ever want to be at a point where like fuck, I'm out of wood, I need arrows, I'm going to spend the next half hour just finding wood. Yeah.

Like that shit's annoying. When I played, I almost never fast traveled because I just wanted to pick everything up along the way. Oh, okay. The first travel mechanics interesting because you need an item to be able to do it. Yes, you've actually hit you a point

where you don't anymore. Oh, okay. But yeah. I told you how I didn't know fast travel existed the first time I played Skyrim. You're illicit. It's because I had never played the game like that before. It was like my first RPG.

So you're just walking everywhere? Yeah. I was just like, man, there's so much walking in this game. Well, it's some games. Yes, I'm an idiot. Some games that find like, like, said in Horizon, I almost never fast. Well, I enjoyed also like everything along the way

and also just how beautiful the game was and getting to like, take that all in. But at one point, I was like, all right. I don't know if that's settled in. I'm like, he'll do I have to go to go over shadow war because I feel like the load screens are long and I can just do that like L run that I just run through everything is fast. I can't and just get to where I'm going. Yeah. So I actually warned me that game. I've been playing shadow war.

She warned me there's a big grind in it. She said you said that. There's a big grind again. I was like, he's no, what is he talking about? I fucking hit that. Yeah, I stopped playing at that point. Holy shit, dude. That's a long fucking fucking hit that. Yeah, I stopped playing at that point. Holy shit dude, that's a long fucking run. Act four? Yeah. It's like, you're playing the game, the game's really fun. And it's like, okay, now you have to play the game totally different and just do this thing over and over

and over and over. And oh, you're like, no, I don't, I'm not gonna do this. Yeah. That's I think a mode, or that's a part of the game they put in to push micro transactions. Yeah, like XP and all that. Yeah, because then you're like, well, fuck, I think, a mode, or that's a part of the game they put in to push micro transactions. Yeah, like XP and all that. Yeah, because then you're like, well, fuck, I could just buy.

I could buy you way out of that. Yeah, like I could just buy these orcs to defend this, and I don't have to worry about it. Yeah. It always sucks when you, when you, like, you know the grind achievement and you're saving it right to the end. So hopefully by the time everything else is done,

you have to grind less. But whenever that fallout falls, did you do the New Could Cade tokens on? No, I did not. God damn, 100,000, like 10,000 would have been too many. Holy shit. I guess so bad. It's so bad.

Gears of War achievement, where you gotta get 10,000 kills or something like that? Yeah. What was it? We were sent thousands, seriously. We were sent thousands, seriously. We were sent thousands, seriously, to put on. It was more than that. Yeah. What was it? You were saying thousands, seriously. Seriously, you should put on. Yeah. It was more than that.

So, in Horizon Zero Dawn, you can platinum it, but then they added, I'm just gonna warn you right now, you can platinum it, but then they added DLC trophies. On top of the platinum, if you want to get all the DLC trophies, you're gonna need to play the game a second time on Ultra Hard. You need to get it and you gain plus Ultra Hard. So even if you finish it, Ultra Hard, your first playthrough, it doesn't count because you also need a new game plus ultra hard

playthrough. That's a great game. Shit. I'm playing on hard. I just said it's a hard game. So I played it through everything the first time and then I just when I played my ultra hard for my second run, I just like went through as fast as I could and just tried to like get through it as quickly as I could. So I did everything including the new game plus ultra hard. I think total was about I could do it as quickly as I could. So I did everything, including the new game plus ultra hard. I think total was about 70 hours. Okay, I can do it.

70, 80 hours somewhere there, not terrible. The will, you, okay, so, bit of advice for you. There is one trophy related to doing all of the hunting grounds. You probably haven't seen a hunting ground yet. It's like these challenges will go into someone who's like, oh, I need you to go out there and kill 10 of these creatures within two minutes, if you want to get it. You can lower the difficulty to easy

when you're doing the hunting grounds and then put it back up to hard because some of those hunting grounds are fucking difficult. Good to know. Yeah, I love the game so far. Yeah, it's really good. I climbing those, whatever those tall things there. The tall necks?

Yeah, but I love the story in it. Even though it's a familiar story, as you play along, it's not, you've probably seen similar stories. I thought I was fucking dope. I thought there were some really interesting new twists on it though. Yeah. There were some things. Like finding out, like, you play a lot of the game and you're like,

I still don't understand why this game's called Horizons you're gone like what does this mean? And then like they start kind of teasing you and then you start like What happened to the world and I think that they unveil all of that really effectively? Yeah, the name to is it becomes very important down the road. Yeah It's good game. It's good game. It can't say enough good thing every one should play that I think that game It's if you're undecided about buying a PS4, that game is worth buying a PS4. Totally got swamped by everyone's love for Breath of the Wild. Yeah.

And because it came out at the same time. And I was like, I was playing Horizon. I was like, everyone else should be playing this fucking game and not this fucking Zelda game. I mean, the Zelda game was good too. Zelda game's great. And it wouldn't game of the year? Depends on your yes.

Depends on your yes. Do you ever notice Barb that in the video game world, that like every game has a game of the year edition? It's like literally every game. It's like, if they probably plan it from the moment they put the game out, the game of the year edition. It's like when they make those baseball caps

that's his like world champions, or like in any playout. They end up in a shelter somewhere. You're on the road. Gus was showing me battlegrounds on mobile. It was surprisingly good. It runs pretty well. I was surprised.

Adam Beard was like perplexed playing it. I can't believe how well it is. So there's some parts of it that run better than the PC version. Good job, yeah. Really subtle. It is. No, I'm good.

It is still a bit, suffering from some server performance. I think it's because everyone's trying to jump on it right now. I see it, man. I just want to prepare. Anytime there's an online game that comes out, people always flip their fucking shit when the game doesn't work on day one. If it works on day one, it's a miracle. It's a fucking miracle or nobody likes it. Nobody bought it. Yeah, or nobody bought it. Right. That's a good point. It's just like, I feel like Halo is always run pretty well day one.

It depends. The collection. Hey, oh, you're right. Yeah. And that was just old games. Yeah. And I was telling Gus earlier, remember the game type we used to play? Good. No, no, no, for Halo 2,

we play on lockout elimination. Yeah. And we'd have one life and everyone had a random weapon. And so it's like, the average telling him it's like, we were even playing a battle royale game back in the day, you know, where you just have everybody spawns with the random weapons and kill somebody get their weapon You know what class always some dope who had a plasma pistol who was hating life

We should do a charge punch. It's all you can do. I don't know why you don't ever want to do less plays in our old game types Me yeah, what what am I what am I I don't do less place? Yeah, but if we all got together and played the same old Halo 2 games we played, you know, we can also just get together and play a video game. We're not to record every fucking thing we do. I would totally play Halo 2. What if funny shit happens? It's a waste. It's a waste.

Our life, whatever you record it is. Our life would unrecord it. I don't know. I hate if something really good happens in a video game. Off camera. That would have been amazing. Well, now, for work that you feel like anything you do with video games is just wasted. I just really like making content. I really like sharing the experience. You can always record stuff from Xbox and PC now. I mean, just like retroactively say, oh, that was awesome. Record that. Yeah. We played yoga together. You and me. Yeah. Have we ever done that? No. Do what? I think the only time

we have ever played a video getting together is horse. We played Halo. One of the horse sessions. Did I win? Of course you won. Yeah. I think I got two or something.

Two three. I won the first tournament. Did you win? Me versus Carrie. Oh. Carrie was like some slimy little intern. I think we have enough on-screen personalities of the company out where we could do some serious tournaments.

All internal. Do you remember that's mic tournament we did? Yeah. That was so fun. PUBG won some of my favorite when we all got in PUBG. That's, I wish we'd do more of that stuff. Stuck? Yeah. I remember somebody was saying that I've always like the,

the battle royale, like style of like you die in your out. Like I love playing Minecraft on a hardcore. Or if you die, all you're, you're just, that's it. You can't go back into the world in Minecraft. If you die with your same account. And I wanna do one where, and I talked to him on a podcast years ago where we had a defined area, we all started with pairs

and then the area got smaller and smaller over time. And then like over the course of like 48 hours. So we'd be playing and then it was last person standing. I mean, he's basically a Hunger Games, you know. But I had forgotten that we had talked about that. And I didn't even know that I had mentioned it on a podcast. And so I pointed it out. I received a tragic piece of information today.

Let me think about this. And by tragic, I mean. You lost a save for Minecraft. No, okay. What are you doing? What are you doing? It's the two with you and me. You mine.

You guys are actually dead and everything that you've been envisioning is just a dream. Well, we've known that for a long time. The vessel site went down. Oh my god. Oh yeah. Really? I think I saw that on the Reddit. Yeah. 100 fucking bucks dude.

100 bucks. You should be mad that you don't get that back. I'm not mad that I don't get it back. You know what I'm mad about? I'm mad that nobody cares. Because it's 100, it's 100 bucks from a lot of people. I care. I'm glad you care Barbara.

But every time we do a crowdfunding campaign, it's like we just get fucking hammered on everything we do. It's, we make our stuff. You know, we make the thing. You know, we deliver the thing. Now we deliver on the perks. Yeah, and we get the thing and we do the thing. And it's like, there's most crowdfunding campaigns.

They don't do the thing. Most of the perks are any of those stuff. It's like, eh, eh, gave it a shot. Eh, you know, and feel like, ah, silly. And it's like, for us, it's like, you guys are the worst. This has been a 15 year ruse to get money from us. All that that product was was just a really good trailer. Yeah, that's what most crowdfunding is.

Yeah, it's like, you make a good video with just filled with fiction. And then just, no, it didn't work. Yeah, we've delivered on all the crowdfunding stuff that we've done. It's like the movie, the board game, and the card game, the card game, and then Ruby is the combat ready.

Yep. Three for three. Three for three. King, champions. But I thought he said, King, champions. I was gonna say, kings, champions. Keep it, just keep it, just keep it, just keep it, just, just, no.

Where the king champs. Can you get that money back? I don't care. Yeah, but, if you listen, I'm actually not mad about that, the aspect of it. Crowdfunding, it's when you go into it, you're trying to make something happen. If it happens, great.

If it doesn't, that's kind of, I was, I did a soon risk, I need that money. That'd be some sort of insurance. Well, now you can sue. Before back then, you can sue. And also vessel, not crowdfunding. That was just pre-orders. Because even worse.

Yeah, let's start a new branch of the company that's crowdfunding insurance. We'll insure your crowdfund contribution. No fucking way. Like, I'm only gonna pay out. For a percentage of your contribution level. And the way we do the payout. We just like, run to the hills and you're on the hook.

Yeah, we'll just be like, oh, just in what? The insurance thing's going to work out. Yeah, we do the same thing the crowdfunding does. Hmm. I find that really annoying, because it wasn't crowdfunding. That kind of was, but.

No, it looked like it. But then what did you get? What was that? Was that pre-order that didn't get fulfilled? Because you can probably get that back. Well, the company's got a business cell. We're not gonna do. Did they not have,

I mean, you paid $100 for product you never received. Yeah, and they also said, oh, halfway through, they were like, oh, this cup, this vessel cup is taking forever. It's his gift, by the way. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I just- He's been $100 on something that you didn't really-

Well, we got content out. I don't really care, because I wasn't getting the cup. He was getting the cup, so it's like, I gave the gift. So, as far as I'm concerned, the thought, so I got a very nice gift of $100.

That's a nice gift. I appreciate it. And then they were like, we can make that cup, but here's just a cup. Here's a cup. That keeps track of how much water you drink. You cut the counts. You just basically push a button

and the counter goes up by one. That's what I'm saying. What? Yeah, I don't think so. No. I don't think so. It's like 50 bucks. And they're on sale on Amazon right now.

Where's that money going, guys? Where's that money going? It's a different pocket. Fucking dead. To the fire festival guy. Probably. I'm just going to go into that. Pure LED in prison.

We had an interesting milestone was cross today technology wise. For the first time ever, a pedestrian was hit and killed by an autonomous vehicle. That sucks. That's a thing that makes us happy. It sucks that bad. It just happened. Where?

Tempia, Arizona. It was an Uber autonomous vehicle. They said there was a human safety driver sitting in the driver's seat at the time that it happened. OK. And the vehicle still hit and killed a bit. So just let me put it to this. Right.

So, elderly, I'm assuming that 10 years, uh, I did really no details. I wonder if it was just the car was going too fast to stop and they just fell into the road. I don't know. Because at some point, if an autonomous car is going 70, and you jump in front of it,

you will get hit by it. Here's all we gotta do. We can't stop it. In my opinion, all we have to do is take the number of hours driven by autonomous cars, okay? And divide that into number of pedestrian accidents, then do the same thing for regular cars. If it's higher, that's a problem.

If it's way lower, it sucks the person's dead, but that's an improvement. It's a better thing. Like every time an autonomous car has an accident of any kind, they make a big deal out of it, but it's still like- But I never have a normal human car. Right. Human operator car has an accident of any kind, they make a big deal out of it, but it's still like, but we're normal human car. Right. Human operator car has an accident. It's still like 3,000 times less likely to happen.

That's because of companies to blame, and not human. It's because there's not a human to blame, yeah. In terms of robot, you can't blame anybody. It's an algorithm. Honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner. I'm amazed it's gone on so long and that was the first one.

I almost hit and killed someone a couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago. But did you and that was the first one. I almost hit and killed someone a couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago. No, they do you. I was at a light, it was red, then the protected left green came on. Okay. So I took my left and then not at the crosswalk, but further back in in the middle of the street,

there was a woman who was crossing the road in between cars that were stopped at that red light. So I take my protected left, I'm going down the street then she jumps out from in between cars that were stopped at that red light. So I take my protected left, I'm going down the street that she jumps out from in between cars that are stopped at a red light into my lane. She swathed. It was dark and she was wearing all black. I had to slam on my brakes and then like,

she barely got out of the way. I was like, I did nothing wrong there. If I had been distracted, if I had been talking to someone else in my car, if I'd been looking, fucking with the radio, like that woman would have been under my pre-us. There's a great clip. The other guy's seen as a guy in New York

and Manhattan, he's biking super fast. And then a dude, but he's biking the wrong way down the street, but a dude comes out between two cars in the middle of the street. This old dude looks like he's a wall street guy, and the fucking bikeer just plows into him, and they both go flying. And then they like recover recover and the pedestrian goes, dude, you're going the wrong way down the street

and you go see how much you're walking with you to cars. And he was like, yeah, okay. And they're like, okay, bye, bye. Okay, they're both on the way. They both just went on their way. You know, it's like, yeah, we both kind of fucked up. All right, let's get out of here. Interesting.

Yeah, I always think when it is an accident, I always think, well, someone is at fault. But yeah, I guess sometimes both people are. Yeah, two people make an error and there's a collision. Yeah. I always say the guy coming out between the cars, he's probably looking the correct way, not expecting us to look the other way. Yeah, that is correct. Yeah. Defensive driving is so important, especially in cities like Austin. I've almost been hit so many times when I'm like, if I'm driving in the right lane and I want to merge into the middle lane and someone from the left and I want to merge into the middle lane

and someone from the left lane also wants to merge into the line. And like, I'm looking, I could see that person like starting to edge over, so I like, wait a second and then I start to merge over and then they try to merge at the same time as me and almost hit me, I've had to swerve out of the way so many times. Do you know who's responsibility there?

It's a person who's further back has to yield and get out of there. They never do. Someone almost hit me like that two days ago. Yeah, they never do. It happens all ahead. I was talking about this issue. In the car, I was driving people who were in town

and I was talking about how bad the drivers are here and how people always hit me all the time. And as I was telling that story, there was a car that was trying to merge literally into me. I was driving in one line and they were just going into me and I had to honk and like, swear that the way. What is it? Interesting things moving to the US

that I didn't experience in England is usually, if you press a button to cross the street in England, that's it, like when it goes, there's only gonna be people crossing. But in America, that is also when cars turn across that crossing. That's true, in California, that's illegal. Some states it's illegal to do.

Okay, it was left, they was turned left. Or you can't enter a crosswalk if there's a person in the crosswalk at any point. Yeah. I just remember seeing the walk like come on. I was like, all right, now I'm going to cross and then cause a turning and they go across at the same time. It's like, so humans and cars go across that at the same time. And that was very weird to me. So that's a weird way of doing it.

What's like in New York, when you're walking on the street blocks, the shorter blocks. And after a while, people just like, after they do like five or six crossings, they kind of just don't give a shit. And they just like walk. And like they'll weave between two cars and track. I think that's fully moving. It's pretty nuts. I've been in Cubs in New York City before where I'm, I think they're trying to hit the pedestrian. Yeah, I would be surprised. They're just plowing through. Right. Someone got mad at me. I had to. They're just plowing through. Dragonite.

Someone got mad at me. I had to drive a little bit when I was in New Zealand and there was a similar situation where there was someone in a crosswalk but it was clear for me to go. So I went and the pedestrian stopped and turned around and looked at me and was like, oh right, right.

We're not wearing it on the US here. But it's different here. Yeah, it's jarring. It's like driving the wrong way down the road. Right. What do you do? Totally safe. I saw the pedestrian, like from a US mindset,

like I saw the pedestrian, they were clear over there. I was going over here, it was fine. But I guess they're just not. They still to wait. Yeah, they're not used to that. I wasn't used to that either. So that was my bad. All right.

So we had that roundabout down the trip of 51st Street. Oh god. Oh god. I was coming west to east, right? So it's gonna cross from like airport. Over there to here. Seriously, that fucking roundabout was back all the way up 51st Street to airport.

It's because people don't know how to use a roundabout here. They do, no. I see people stop in the roundabout to try to let other people in. Yeah, I've had people, I've had people stop to let other people in, honk at them and then get mad at me. Right. Like, you all are fucking wrong.

You're in the roundabout, you keep going until you get off the fucking roundabout. You don't stop to let people who are waiting to get in. I just retweeted. Yeah, it's just nothing like that. That's what they say it's gonna be. But is that what it's supposed to look like? What do they go all the way around, either?

It's so weird. It's nothing like that right now. Oh, so wait, so there's a lane that goes all the way around. Are they adding that? Not yet though. There's only one lane open. Okay, the moment it's all roundabouts, like one side of a head, headphones. So it's like the outer lane of that roundabout is open.

The lane is coming from the top. There's two rows of cards are coming from the top down towards it. That's our way back from work. That's, that's, that's like if we're leaving work, that's the way we go. I was leaving work and I saw woman going the opposite way in the roundabout. I mean, oh God.

Oh, she was super old. I was like, oh lady, you're gonna fucking die. Like she was, yeah. Like she was going, coming in at 35, what? She took a left into the roundabout. And I was like, oh my God.

He's this mad. At first I thought it was like a construction vehicle because this thing is like not all the lanes are open. She was in one of the non-opened lanes on the inside like going around. Just, we're not ready to. There's also so much construction around there too. And you have no idea which way to go,

to go which direction. Cause one lane you could take, just takes you completely off onto airport. That's true. I did that once too. And I had to do like a U-turn somewhere. It's not clear at all. What are they taking you?

Signs up that... They're probably said they have some signs, but they didn't take the old signs down. So there's contradicting signs. It's like you have to know that sign was there before, but it's no longer applicable. Now you have to pay attention to this other sign. It's a fucking mess. It's awful. All right. You guys must have said it's awful.

Well, let's wrap this up because I got to go drive to that round about now. I'm fucking looking forward to that. All right, thanks for watching. Let's talk about the package bombs in the post-show. Yeah. Okay. All right, it's crazy. Thanks for watching everybody. We'll see you guys next time. Bye everybody. music Do you like apples?
