Consume it that way. I don't know why that's like the visual I get every time I think of that. I've never thought of it that way, but now I'm going to. I mean, I do drink them very fast, but not that fast, not supersonic. I guess that's what that would be. That's not. The supersonic, yeah, me too. They have slushies.

They have red bull slushies, and I don't know. Do they? Yeah. It makes me hurt on the inside. Yeah, I was going to say, I'm not a big fan of Red Bull, so that would probably hurt. Me neither. Yeah, I just drink a lot. Okay.

This is too much. Oh yeah yeah that like two dollars or something not be buy them like a four to ten pack like I do yeah that's right just go to Costco make up for it in volumes by a membership hey I'm gonna let you know a secret that fridge over there got some Red Bulls yeah I used to hit up that fridge and then I just felt like sometimes my heart was going really fast, and it shouldn't be. So yeah, I was playing video games. I, that's why I have this watch on second,

like check my heart. See if it goes over a hundred. I feel like. I feel like, what are they like 90-ville grams? Keffin. Yeah, it's like 80-90. Red bull? Red bull.

That's like a normal amount of caffeine. I mean, a couple coffees usually 80 to 90. Yeah, it's just like a coffee. But I think there's also. It's also got touring. Touring, which is a sad. Yeah, that's like a normal amount of caffeine. I mean a couple coffees usually 80 to 90. Yeah, it's like coffee But I think there's also a touring. Yeah, that's a good shit coffee has a 12 ounce can of red bowl has 111 milligrams I don't know. I think the cans aren't 12 ounces. No, there's like 8.7. Yeah 8.4 probably so 77 milligrams. Yeah, oh, that's not even bad. I think, uh, God, I wish I didn't know this. I think a Mountain Dew has like 70. What about Jolt Cola? Oh, man. Jolt Cola.

I'm gonna say more. There's those tall boys that we have, uh, the G fuel tall boys. Those are like 350 milligrams of caffeine. That's like daily dose. Man, that's the kids say that's like half your vib caffeine. That's like daily dose. No, for me, that's like half. You're vibing. Yeah. A can of jolt cold. It's all six octaves.

160 milligrams. Does it last longer if you have more? Oh, does it just make you, oh, there's a little, an ejection. There's a little spider on my mic. I don't get necessarily last longer. I've always wanted to,

sorry. It's really hitting me. I've always wondered, sorry. It's really hitting me. I started taking ADHD meds to like a year and a half ago. I couldn't tell. Yeah, I know. It's fucking worn off. I've always wondered that with five hour energy drinks. If you have a half a five hour energy drink, it's like two and a half hours.

Yeah, or is it like, okay energy for five hours? There's a great joke, an episode of Bob's Burgers, where someone gives one of the kids, like the leftover five hour energy drink, they're like, here, I left you one hour of the five hour energy drink. But for real, I think you even talked about this, maybe even on this podcast before,

I wanna know, I wanna know. Let's do a test, you and me, Carrie, we'll do all take the five hour energy drink. And I'll take 10 five hour energy drink. And I'll take 10 hours of energy. And you'd, or half of one. Oh, okay. And see how you feel after two and a half hours

versus how I feel after two and a half hours. Then I feel like we also then have to do the opposite as well. Yeah. I don't need duration when it comes to caffeine. I just need like a little get up. I need to like, chug a coffee and I just need to get started. And once I'm moving and doing work, then it just continues. Oh, I'm just gonna have sugar.

Any more crash, I guess. Is it not how it works with you? For, I don't know. I feel like I need to have like, I usually only drink one cup of coffee a day. Like, I don't do anything that crazy. But if I don't have that cup of coffee, I can't. I can't, yeah. Yeah. It's like, is caffeine? My cup of.

The most socially acceptable Narcotic that people ingest I would say so absolutely. Yeah, there's no age limit on it Is it I guess not they should be know age limit. There's fucking coffee shops on every corner You know like caffeine added to all kind like there's caffeinated soap and shit like that. Yeah It's everywhere. I stopped using it because I was taking night showers and I was like, why the fuck can't I sleep? Wait, like it goes in your body? Yeah.

Like through the skin or through the anus? You know, it's however you clean yourself, you know? You mean what? What? I mean, like, I'm cleaning myself off, so it's gonna get down there, yeah. Yeah. Let's get out of here.

Gavin, there was a, I wanted to tell you about this moment So for RTX one of the things we did was a happy hour where we played Ruchert East trivia with attendees and I created the whole trivia all the questions and the answers I came up with the quiz and great job. Thank you. Yeah, it was really fun to play with you guys But one of the things I did was I had tweets that had a word that was crossed off and people had to like write in their answer For what they thought that tweet was and it was a tweet from Gavin from 2014 probably ainess It's funny because the tweet was Does a dog have a uvula and I blanked out dog and

People put in their answers and a lot of people put a nice The reason I would have put anus except it didn't make dramatic sense it because it was does a blank. Does a blank. And I thought if it wasn't anus, Gavin would have written an not a or a. Yeah. But I was like, you haven't changed a day.

God, an anus with a uvila. Oh, I'm surprised you hadn't thought about this before. No. It seems on brand for you. Million dollars. How far in would it I'm surprised you haven't thought about this before. No. Seems on brand for you. Million dollars. How far in would it be? Do you think it's right on the, I think it's a round surface?

So I think if you, how many inches wide it would, how many inches back is your mouth you villa, then that's how far back it would be in there? Oh, so you can't open your anus wide like your mouth. Don't fucking tumble. Not yet. You haven't been practicing that yet. Yeah, what if instead of wax it is? What of waxed it is? What if instead of waxing it is making your poop soft? They just made your butthole wider. That's not how it works.

What if he had five hours to go? The last time I went to the doctor, he said something that inadvertently truly disgusted me. He was talking about, it was like a yearly checkup and just talking about stuff in general. And he's like, when I turned 50, that, you know, they're probably gonna wanna do a colonoscopy, just to check for polyps and stuff. That's on to.

And he was like, don't, you know, and he's like, don't worry, you know, most people have polyps. Most, almost all of them are benign. And then he started, like, this is what disgusted me. He said, if you think about it, the inside of your colon and your intestines is just skin.

And all the food you eat, just imagine all the food you eat, just rubbing over skin your entire lifetime. Eventually that's gonna create irritation and a polyp. And I was like, I don't wanna eat anymore. You've just absolutely disgusting me thinking of it that way, as thinking of the insides of my intestines and just thinking of the food rubbing against it

for my entire, everything I eat, every's thinking of the insides of my intestines and just thinking of the food rubbing against it, for my entire, everything I eat, every single piece of food. You'll chew well. Yeah, just rubbing against it. I was like, that's not worried about everything crunchier of every, yeah. Yeah, like when you don't chew that chip, like just enough.

Yeah, think about what your aim is, you feel as going through it. Yes, it's just, there's no way, there's no way it's just like your outside skin. It'd be like the inside of your mouth or something, right? Yeah, I would think like the inside of your cheek. Yeah, it's not what that's supposed to be like down there. The vagina, yeah.

Yeah, that's I didn't want to say. I think you're the wet stuff heals Fosta. I would think it's slower. Somebody questions. If you have a cut your mouth, it like he stops bleeding really quick. Does it or does it just get dissolved, like diluted and you don't notice? What about the hymen?

What? That doesn't hit. What about the hymen? It actually just gets pulled, it doesn't tear. It gets pulled wet. I'm learning everything. You can be able to pull it to the side, left or right. There's some strange energy on this part. Yeah, this is the first and the very long time we've been on

and the last for another very long time. This is what happens when we have RTX over 10 days. No vacation afterwards. Yeah. I walked in. I walked in, today. And as I walked up to the set, I said, hey, everyone, happy day 12 of RTX.

Yeah. It was very funny. Yeah, I got this very code Yeah. I was very funny. Yeah. I was very funny. Yeah. I was very funny. Yeah.

I was very funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. or heard it. It's a Chilean documentary. And I use air quotes because there's obviously some parts that are kind of set up in order to try to like achieve what they're going for. And what they do is like the premise is that

there's a woman in an old folks home in a retirement home. And the woman's daughter thinks that her mother may be getting abused or stuff stolen from her. So the documentary crew hires an old man and plants him inside the retirement home to do like undercover work to be like a double agent, like spying on the retirement home because he's like fully there mentally. And they teach him like how to use an iPhone to take pictures and record like voice messages and send them to them. So he's like investigating the retirement home while acting like he's one of the people in the retirement home while acting like he's one of the people in the retirement home

And it's really Interesting like it's a really interesting document again. I use air quotes like some of it seems a little Set up like it's a little too convenient at times, but And the like at the end like the credits roll and everything and I was like, oh, that was really fun No, wait, that was really incredibly sad like that was just like sad when it was over. Like, all these people just wanted their kids to visit them and like, their kids aren't visiting them. Like, I don't know why.

Like, you just left one of them. That's why you just never have kids. And then you don't get disappointed when no one visits you. Yeah, but then you're just alone. You're just like, there's no but you ever really come. Well, all the money you save from not having kids, you pay someone to visit. That's the exact same outcome, but with none of the hope.

Well, sometimes, you know, to hope or to, is it better to have loved and lost and have never to have loved at all? And have to never have never have children. But, uh, the interview at the very beginning, they interview like six or seven. They put an ad in the paper. They're like, we're looking for a man between 80 and 90 years old who can learn how to use technology. So they learn.

They show them like interviewing a bunch of different men. And they give one of them a phone. They're like, here, take a picture of me. And the guy's like, it's not working. It's not, it's frozen. And nothing's working. It's not working. And that's the one he went with.

No, it's not. They hands the phone back to the private investigator. And the private guest there looks at this. You just took 14 photos of me. What do you mean it's not working. It's not, it's frozen and nothing's working. It's not working. And that's the one he went with. No, it's not, he hands the phone back to the private investigator and the private guest there. It looks like it goes, you just took 14 photos of me. What do you mean it's not working? Why did they, that's what Barb does though. Why did they put it in the paper? Why did they just put it on TikTok or something? Oh.

If an old man responds to your TikTok, you can notice what he's doing. You know. That's actually a good point. Where they worried at any point that the old man wouldn't then become like two old while in there and he would age out like while he was yeah yeah yeah old people make him feel older yeah they put uh... they put him in for three months he spent three months in the

retiree home yes they wanted to make it seem like he was just a normal resident there did he like go the way to be like let them wipe his ass and that he's hard no he was he's like a good girl he was fairly independent like even in the in the retirement home, the other people who are there, like, oh, he's still, like, the other old people are like, he's still all there mentally,

like, he's really independent. Like, he kind of stands out for that. Was there any love interest? Yes, there was actually. I just became 10 times more interested. Yeah, there's like this whole, like, well, it's difficult for him because, it's difficult for a long book.

Well, his wife had just died, like four months before he gets put in. But then once he goes in, there's like 40 women in the retirement home and only four men. Whoa. So it's like, No, it's right for the picket.

There's like all this, like, like love subplot that goes on as well. Yeah, it's, I hear there's a lot of fucking in retirement homes. I hear there's a lot of if you go on the inside. Who did you know? Nobody I know. Don't even go that route. Not my Bubby. She's not in a retirement home. Do you when you first started describing this the second you put in air quotes, I was imagining that it was like,

like a 40 or 50 year old man, and they put like, like a bunch of jackasss. Yeah, Johnny Knopf, there's exactly what I was gonna say. Like playing basketball outside. We've still fucked as much, that was the question. You know, everyone's a legal age, Carrie. Yeah. Everyone's a consenting adult.

I, what was, I mean, if you feel like it's worth spoiling, I guess, like, I'm assuming the outcome was not very good. You don't have to say. Okay, I'll say this. The outcome is that the mother was not being mistreated in the retirement home, but he does find the thief. Oh.

Oh. There was stuff being stolen and he, like, that's one of the subplots that they go through is like trying to find, they're trying to solve the mystery and figure out what's going on. And it's funny because he's like, I tailed so and so today to follow them and see what they're doing.

And he's literally right behind them, just like following like no subtle team, no like trying to hide. It's just like literally he walks right behind someone the entire day. Well, I mean, again, not to get too like terrible about this, but they probably didn't see him. They might not have.

I mean, why not have been a little bit? What's the youngest you can go into in all people's time? Yeah, is there a niche limit? I don't know. I kind of do the, there's no AARP. You can actually get in if you're like 35, I think. Yeah. You know why you found out?

Because they're advertising to you now. Like that's the whole new thing. Oh, no, I saw through a TikTok. Yeah, I figured it to actually. That may be why you're like. So it's like life hack. You don't have to be certain age. What is that called like a, like this kind of marketing.

Fireroll marketing? I get no, but like where it's like natural, I don't know. I was gonna get done. Oh, what are you on about? ARP. What's that? ARP. What's that? AARP. It's where you can get benefits or being old.

It's an ARP. It's used to the UK ARP. Oh, you just want. You carp. 999. Yeah. Was it just claiming benefits? I think it's just like getting discounts on certain things

and like getting a lot to complain about stuff. Yeah. This is like a to complain about stuff. Yeah. This is like a lobbying organization. Yeah. But you just have to wait till you're out and have to be president. Yeah. But recently we started a big push to try to recruit people,

my age, like in Gen X. That's like their new thing. Because obviously, they're close home. They're like, well, for A.R. Oh, okay. I'll say Jesus. They're members. Don't stay members forever. I saw someone to check out how young is old That's a Gavin question

I miss the name Window bird is old window bird says senior living generally starts at 55 plus or 62 plus Okay, oh, I forgot to mention this at the top of the show. I feel like maybe I should mention it now. The song. If you, you should stay tuned at the end of this podcast, we did an interview with Kevin Smith for talking about the upcoming key man show on Netflix. Key man.

So yeah, we're going to have that at the end once we're done talking here, then you'll get to see that. So if you're watching live, that's supposed to be important for you, because if you're watching a VOD, you'll probably see that. But you have been annoyed if he just did it in character as Son of Bob. We'll probably want to talk to about he, man, very much. This episode of the RST podcast is brought to you

by ExpressVPN. If you don't know, having a VPN is over-important these days. Without one, you're letting your ISP see everything you're doing. Big-tick companies can sell your data, and hackers can even access your financial information. That's why it's a whole slew of reasons to trust ExpressVPN. I mean, they don't log your activity online for starters, lots of cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data to advertisers, which kind of defeats the whole point of having

a VPN. ExpressVPN, on the other hand, made their service incapable of storing any data at all. ExpressVPN is also the fastest VPN I've ever used. The engineers, their own VPN protocol to make user speeds faster than ever. Plus, it's super easy to use. You don't need to have any technical skills at all. You just fire up the app, tap one button to connect, your grandparents, kids, not totally tech savvy parents

could do it. Your pets probably could too. I'm not gonna make a guarantee on that one, but yeah, sure, why not.

During the, during RTX on the day when I hosted, on the day I hosted at the very beginning of the day I chugged a 12 ounce can of sparkling water I wanted a can of still water because I was trying to be will hydrate Oh, yeah, but I couldn't find a can of still water so I had to buy a can of sparkling water And I chugged it and then the rest of that segment when I was trying to read I kept having a burp Mm-hmm. It was like absolutely just like loud disgusting burps

Did you feel a little bougie though? Like a little better than a rails? Yeah. Could you spark them? The pinkies up? Yeah. And did you do the thing where you like spin it? So like creates a vortex?

So it just like works with bottles, doesn't it? Oh, was it? I mean, I sparkling, I assume it maybe was a bottle. I don't know. No, no, I was like, it was okay. I'm sorry. Because I wanted to shotgun it, but I couldn't find the cat.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm opener with the piercing part. It was like wet and oval, so I didn't want to get a knife or something in jab, because I thought it would just slide off and slide to your finger. I just slide into my hand and I didn't want to start bleeding when I stood more to read. So I'm just going to try to chug it without shotgunning it.

How was it doing RTX hosting in a human form as yourself? It was fine. I didn't move. I just sat in the same spot the whole time. I did too. I made the mistake of hosting RTX's Gambo, which means I had to sit behind a couch the whole day with my head up on the top of the couch like this with my neck

cramed and the mask that I wear for it always slides back just a little bit. So every time I have to like make sure it's pulled down so my nose doesn't sit in the mouth hole. It's slowly lift the bulls up. It does, yeah. How was your back feeling next day? It was rough.

As 32 year old, I don't know if I could do something like that anymore. That might have been my limit. Are you good to an old people, Sam? Get that AARP benefits. They give you an extra cushion when you sit behind a couch now for a quick update the spiders on my water bottle. No, go ahead for reference for anybody who's watching the podcast. That side said is like right behind us right here. It's like a weird thing. If this camera were to turn.

Yeah, you know what? This camera could turn. Yeah, it's if it were to turn. I didn't say it could turn. It could right now. In fact, it shouldn't like Come on over there. It's totally dark No, it's not it's not worth it. There's just there's just like a 70s basement. It could be a little bit 1010 feet You know, so that's oh wait. No, that's hard. I wasn't that wasn't me as gamble. Gambo was separate. I was wondering, did you just like Santa everybody just now? We're different people.

Yeah, no, I was confused. Don't worry, I was going to correct you because I didn't want you to make it seem like you're wrong, but don't worry. I forgot about your podcast, I was just talking amongst friends. Yeah, we could do a split screen thing with you and Gambo Why you just talk to it? We did that for the end. Although it wasn't a split screen. We were in the same room. Yeah, because they're interactive

They're different people. Yeah, don't forget that. That was a behind the scenes. Come on. Did I don't want to sound like a fucking cliche, but did anybody We're all over 30 here but did anybody... We're all over 30 here. And then some. Your body really just gives up on you, right? Yeah. It's all that food rubbing on your intestines, zero life. I turn 30...

Two months ago, just a little over two months ago. 30... 30... Or 32 months ago. 30 comma, two months ago. 32 30 comma two months ago. Got it. I'm a baby currently 30. I'm 30.

Nice congrats. You made it. Ah, I don't know if I'm still braiding. I feel like a fucking Hyundai that has like 101, 101,000 miles on it and just out of the warranty and now everything's just like AF. You expected to get farther? Fuck, I'm, if I'm sitting weird right now,

it's because last week, last Tuesday, so almost a week ago, I put a pod in my dishwasher and I threw up my back. Oh my god. Oh my god. And to get into the technique of just like putting the pod and holding the door up instead of going all the way down. You got to use your legs and I come back. So then the next three days was recovery and I was trying to feel better and then over the weekend

I had the fucking audacity to vacuum my house and now my back We should give you some stretches to do or something. I would love that. Yeah, I would love that also There's a there's stuff you could buy like foam rollers and there's this thing I don't know that looks like a P-night that you essentially put on either side of your spine and you could do some good spinal. You just heard a lot though. Foam rollers hurt a lot.

They do, but it's good. Yeah. It's a good hurt. It's not a bad hurt like you have now. Yeah, you want a little muscle just kind of stretch over it. It's a bad hurt right now. What if I just come over and I do your dishwasher puds? That would also be very good.

I did get new ones you have to like tear out a little foil thing. Really? Oh, that's a... We'll just get one in the bucket foil. We'll just get the liquid. You just like squeeze in there. Well, then I gotta scoop it, but I gotta put it back. The liquid?

Oh, that's you, yeah. Oh, I already ordered 90s of the bag of these puds, God, so I'm a little committed. A couple years ago. My dishes look right before COVID. I guess most of them A couple years ago, right before COVID, I guess most of it was like two years ago now. I was walking over here in the break room. I was walking past the break room.

I was walking from that area past the old Jima Hunter room to the break room. And I heard like a... And I was like, and then I was like a pinch in my lower back. And I had to sit down on the break room table and I just had to put my head and my arms out on the table and I couldn't move. And I was just like,

if there's anybody there, can someone give me a pain killer and some water? Like I couldn't look up, but I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't, my coke popped out. Someone just gave me an Advil. I feel like I need to cut back to footage of us at Ruchertiith over the last 10 years.

Like just doing, like jumping and like falling on the ground and like doing really stupid shit to now us being like I can't It hurts. Yeah, I can't do anything So old so weak normally To be fair, I also pulled my back when I was like 10 so maybe I just have a bad back. Maybe yeah Have you ever considered like physical therapy or like a trainer or anything like that to string? Yeah, baby up? That'd be good. I got a standing desk.

Step one. Yeah. How about this? Yeah. Sometimes I'll put it up and down and like constantly so it's like I'm doing squats. But it would be really slow squat. Hey, yeah, start. I'm not sure if this goes really nice.

Yeah, it's a motor up and then just fucking roll it. No, I'm down. No, I really, I mean, I'm definitely in the bucket of like, I thought we'd have a couple more months before I could go out and public bucket. So I could use some exercise. I should probably do that. I just care about y'all. I want y'all to be should probably do that. I just.

I just care about y'all. I want y'all to be healthy and live as long as possible. So won't y'all take care of yourself? I want to live long enough to get that colonoscopy. See how much. And 70 polyps you have. You know, you can go on whenever you want. That's true.

I probably have a small camera, don't you Gavin? Yeah. Go on and just go. Yeah. What if I throw out my back while I'm giving you a colonoscopy? But like, at the same time, like, because like the way I'm bending over to do it if I throw out my back while I'm giving you a good look? But like, at the same time, like, because like, the way I'm bending over to do it, I throw out my back too.

So we just start rolling. I'm like, I do have the idea of you describing yourself as being out of warranty that. That's what I felt like. The second I hit 30, I was like, oh man, my knees are hurting. That's the one, it's your old enough to like leave your parents health insurance. That's when you're out of warranty. You're like 25. Yeah.

I don't really want to get you us having to pay for health care is constantly out of warranty. Yeah. Like, ooh, that's going to be expensive. I'm just reminded of the time when back in the old six or six office where I sat in a cardboard box filled with packaging peanuts and right. Like, can't be in a box. Don't be in a box right in a drop kicked me. And I was like, first of all, I was fine because I was covered in packaging peanuts.

But the fact that he did that, like, damn, that's some flexibility and some like, sweet moves, you used to do parkour though. I did, I did Taekwondo, I used to be a little physical boy. Damn. And now, look at me. Look at me. This is what can happen. Do jumping jacks kids. You're the ghost of activities future. I want to, you know, I'll start doing some stuff soon. That's fine. There was a half to that's good point. Thanks Gavin. I got

like two people my shoulder right now. Dude, would that little angel double? Yeah. Which one's the angel double in this situation though? Is it the person being like exercise? Take care of yourself. Or the person being like, yeah, don't worry about it. Yeah. Yeah.

Why walk to the mailbox and you can drive for 30 seconds. That's true. You know, there was an episode of intervention. I saw, I like watching intervention. If anyone watches that show. I used to. An episode I saw recently where this guy was like a heroin addict and he had to go,

he was gonna go like buy heroin and shoot it up, but he couldn't drive. I think his license was suspended and he had broken his bike. So he had to like fix a rascal scooter because he didn't want to walk there. It's like he's totally fine. He can walk. But he was just too lazy to go broken his bike. So he had to like fix a rascal scooter because he didn't want to walk there. It's like, he's totally fine. He can walk. But he was just too lazy to go buy his heroin.

So he just like, the following, the Jocque Menter who's following him, he's just driving in the little rascal scooter with the flag down to me, just drug dealer to buy heroin to then go like behind an abandoned school and shoot up. And I was like, man, that is like commitment, not only to like the drugs,

but also to being super lazy about it. Why do I just go home and do it? I think he was living, if I remember right, he was living with his mother and she gave him a hard time about it. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM God, mom. God, you're shooting up against a lame. I used to assume he just really wanted it. It's like when you order fast food and you're just, oh, I'll just be in the car, fuck it. See, I just have a problem where I'm like lazy over the dumbest things. Like if Trevor and I are watching TV on our couch and we're both like leaning back

and there's like episode ends and you know how it's like, it's gonna skip to the next one. But like, usually we'll be like, oh, we'll wanna stop maybe. And like the remote's at the end of the table I'll be like could you get the that is so like like literally it's like I don't want to like Lena get it because you're so comfortable no I feel like by the time a show is ending I'm ready to get up again now I mean that my all of my coffee tables I have carpet all of my carpe you know there's like mover things you can get?

I leave those on 24-7, so I can just move the table with one foot. Yeah. We have a table that part of the table comes up, so you can eat at it like a table that comes up to your height. Love that thing. I'm playing on, I'm gonna give her those next. That's fun in games until you spill a drink

and it goes inside. It goes inside. Yeah, then you close it up and you never fucking talk about it again. Do you want to know what's inside that table? A lot of Taco Bell hot sauce That'd be sweet. It was just It's a lot because we whenever we get Taco Bell There's so much they just dump the bagging with sauce even if we ask for none and so we're just like I'll add it to the pile It's like Gavin comes over, he's like,

oh man, I wish I had some sauce with Taco Barbs. Don't worry, I got you. Do, do, do, do. You're gonna have to lift it though, because I'm too tired. Yeah, I can't. I'm gonna have to lift it though, because I'm too tired.

Yeah, I can't. I can't reach my remote. I've got an app on my phone that can emulate my remote. So I can do everything for that from my phone. No, no, no, no. It's like it's over there. It's like I got my phone here, I'm fed it. That was, I put a smart switch on my bedroom fan,

like my ceiling fan. So like if I was already in bed and I'll come fee and I started to get a little warm, I could get a big turn that shit on. No, I thought you was, you'd stuck a switch on the fan and you had to like chase it. No, we were.

I'm trying to do less work. Just get your had to like chase him. No, we thought. I'm trying to do less work. Just get your cat to like sit there. Yeah, just like throw my cat at it. I saw a tip that would maybe it will be useful to you or anybody watching who's trying to like do something or get something done, whether it's exercise or like cleaning, is just like put a time round for 15 minutes. Literally just put a time round your phone for 15 minutes.

Be like, okay, for the next 15 minutes, I have to do like, clean my kitchen. Barbara, we have the same TikTok algorithm. Do you sell that one too? I bought a timer because of that. It is actually really smart. Shut up. Sometimes it's nice to see a physical. Yeah, I need something that's different, you know,

like, I don't wanna be on my phone. Dedicated for it. You know, I do for what I do. But do it for exercise. Like, if you're like, okay, I'll do some. Okay, now I'm not with 30 more. I need to put you in the 50 minutes timer for 15 minutes. You can see it.

Like you say you want to see something, it's on the phone. Yeah, but it's like on the counter, and if you're doing stuff, you can't. Here's the other reason. I wanted, I mean, I am so fucking bad right now. How much time has left on my timer? Flaless. It says it. Flal it Wallace. Yeah, look it's muted look I I would do 15 minutes as well

Okay, look I have I watch I can do it for either you what did you bought a timer? I if I if I want to focus on my timer if I if I want to focus on my timer Is that work? I'm going to throw my juice land cup. I just said how long? You have like a thousand dollar timer already. I do buy this to be a timer. Yeah, but it's also a timer. It's nice to just be a little like look up and see okay. I got three. Yeah. What if I want to focus on work and I don't want to pick up my phone and get distracted and go and tick talk or I always fucking do Show me. All right. Okay. Okay. You have a point You have a point and you can suck it. I'm not gonna you could make a widget. Yeah, that just has the time

On the home screen. Well, how long how long can you return something on Amazon? Gary I think I think you should do whatever works for you. All right, I think that's the ultimate and if you need something on Amazon? Like, Gary, I think you should do whatever works for you. All right. I think that's the ultimate. And if you need something up there showing you, it was cheesy. Now, we're the devil's. No, I'm not.

Yeah. I'm always the angel. Yeah. Let's be real. Like, it helps though. It really does. Like, if I try and tell myself, I need to clean my kitchen. I'm never going to do that.

Right. I'm never going to do that. Well, you have 15 minutes. But if I say, just clean it for 15 minutes. See what you get done? I'll make it so much shit done. See what you get done? Because then you're racing yourself.

Yeah, I feel like I never get to the point where, like, it's that bad. Like if I'm in my kitchen, like if I'm like, I'm gonna heat some water up to make some coffee, it's like, well, I got like two minutes for that to heat up. Like, I'm just gonna like put these glasses up in the dishwasher.

No, I'm a terrible person, that was the difference. And like, I'm one of those people that like, it the dishwasher. Now I'm a terrible person, though, is the difference. And like I'm one of those people that like, it gets pretty bad and then I have to like do like a clean, I'm trying to not do that anymore. Once you get your place to a cleanly state, because I don't know. I know actually, I'm good. You're good now.

Yeah, I did a pass. Every time you're doing something and you're about to like put it down or something, I do this in my head. I say don't put it down, put it away. Yeah. Every single time I'm like, just just put it away. Like it's really not hard. Or and for honestly, for half my shit, don't put it down. Throw it away. Or throw it away. Maybe throw it away. Yeah. Like this timer. Yeah. My my granddad taught me a mindset because he was a chef. He would always just say,

party. What? What? You see, when like cooking and stuff. He'd be like, Party, what? Recycling. You're like, when like cooking and stuff, he'd be like, yeah, clean as you go. Or don't go. Although, because it was you have to clean it all the way up. Interesting. It's pretty smart. Yeah, the only time that's going to be in between steps.

The only time that's going to be in a rush, then it's hard. Because like if you're like, I just need to like make this thing and leave or something or whatever it is, or I need to like pick out now for this event that I'm late to already. Yeah. Then I have like clothes everywhere? Could it be clean as

you go except for those two pans. I mean you get the probably tomorrow. You're over your bragging about your new dishwasher pod shit. Yeah, well you can't put the pans in the dishwasher. That's going to ruin the finish. Oh, I didn't give the preseason it again. Oh, do you have like a you got like cost I'm fine. I mean there's I have one of those. Yeah, just in general. You don't want to put my just it increases the longevity if you don't put them in the dishwasher. Preseason your cereal balls. Yeah, with milk. I just don't put I don't have cast iron, but I wouldn't put cast iron and I'll put nonstick in my dishwasher. Yeah, I think I have I have I have nonstick and cast iron. So I'm just like yeah, I just like, yeah, I don't even, I just, my dishwasher's for forks. Yeah. This is really from around on. I have this dumb device.

I guess it's like, you got like, you normal two-drawed dishwasher, you go, just share the bomb, and then it's like, mugs and shit on the top. Yeah, yeah. And then this is like, this is, what I didn't have as a kid was like a third thing. Oh, I've seen this. Very flat thing, very close to the ceiling.

And I, I think that's what I'm doing. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm Oh, I've seen this. Very flat thing, very close to the ceiling. And I, I don't know what you're supposed to put in there like knives. Never put your knife in a dishwasher. I'll put like tongs and like spatulas up there. Yeah, it has to be like flat stuff. Yeah, but never put your knife in a dishwasher. I got knives, but yeah, but the dishwasher gets so hot it ruins the forge on a knife. I never put like nice knives, ever. But yeah, the dishwasher gets so hot, it ruins the forge on a knife. I never put like, nice knives in there. But it's not gonna not cut a steak when it comes out.

Oh no. The dishwasher can really fuck some knives up. You also probably overestimate what we're cooking and what we need, nice knives for. I mean, a butter knife, sure. Yeah. But with my sharpest knives in the top thing, I always forget that I've put them there.

So I'll like pull open the drawer. And the knives will slide. I'll be like, ugh, come and just go dumb to me. I feel like doing that once you would remember. Or you start putting it into your time. It handles first. Like, so the point's going the other direction. Okay, never gonna do that again.

Two days later. Get it hot, go. Lalalalala. I just want to be very clear about something. I'm not a milk first person. That was just for the joke. Milk for, oh, cereal. Yeah, I'm getting a lot of comments in the chat.

I don't want people to think any less of me. That was for the joke. Thank you. If there actually are legitimately milk first people out there, I don't want to say like Ted Bundy. I tried it once or twice, but yeah, it's like, it's unnatural, it's wrong. It's just, you put the cereal and then you see how much milk

you need based off the cereal. Because then if you put the cereal in second, then it's just like floating on the top. You don't get like, and you're not sure like, yeah, what the ruchia's got me. It's not right. The way you described it sounded like, somebody describing like butts, stuff, and call it. A devil. A spearmint. I try to, it just feels unnatural to me, but I mean, you know, however people want to do it,

that's fine. I only do milk first if I'm behind in a band in school. Otherwise I get, I only don't want to drunk. I forgot the order. You hate randos. You hate randos. Hey, guess what? This episode of Rusteapotcast is brought to by Omen.

I finally, so I mentioned this the other week, you know, the season finale of Loki came out. And that's a show that I did not care about at all. Like I wasn't at all curious about it until Barbara finally convinced me to watch it.

I have a watch here, this was. It was good. Like I think I started watching it like the weekend before the finale. Which is? Okay. Loki. Oh, look. So I watched like the first five the finale. Which? Okay. Loki. Oh, look. So I watched like the first five episodes, like, oh, it's great. And then like two days later, I watched a finale, I was like, I watched the whole thing,

like in the course of three days. It's like, oh, the show was great. Yeah. It was really enjoyable. Yeah. I'd recommend it. I think they're using that show to potentially set up like next MCU arc stuff. So I think like they're on phase four or whatever.

Right. So I think like they're on phase four. Right. So I think there's a lot of theories about they're making a it's Ant-Man and the multiverse of madness, I think. Or the it's like it's even the quantumium or it's like it's a weird name. Yeah. It's with King. What's his name? Yeah. King the Comper Conqueror. Yes. Ant-Man yeah, this, man, the Marvel, like, cinematic universe is fascinating. And all the theories going around with those shows. And man in the wasp, Quantumania.

Quantumania. Is the MCU, does that cover the shows? Or is that, yes, but what they've said is that, the shows will never do something to dramatically affect the movies because they assume that not everyone watches the shows. I feel like it's time goes on.

They're just gonna blend together into just, just experiences that are the watches the shows. I feel like it's time goes on. They're just gonna blend together into just experiences that are the same. Yeah. Yeah. Very true. I mean, the, like Loki's just a really long movie. Right. Yeah.

One division. I mean, yeah. It was some of the effects that like towards the end, like you could kind of see, you know, we're definitely like a little bit more TV versus like film effects, but I mean, like it looked great the whole time. Yeah. I've always preferred TV versus like film effects, but I mean like it looked great the whole time. Yeah

I've always preferred TV to movies in general just because it's like you get to Like live with the characters more and that's that's kind of my my jam. There's a I love me some some Thor don't get me wrong. I'm excited for the love of thunder. Yeah, there's a there's this is not a spoiler because this episode one to Loki. This is like in probably the first 15 minutes of episode one of Loki There's a scene where like they take him to this new place where they are the TVA and He's like they take he cuz it's the Loki from Endgame when they go back in time and then they dropped the the Tesseract and then Loki grabs it Oh, when they go like from endgame to 2012. 2012. So it's that Loki that's in the TV show. Then they take that Tesseract from him and then like he goes to try to get it back and

there he's like give me the Tesseract back like okay okay and like a guy opens a drawer and it's just filled with infinity stones. Yeah. All the different ones. Because it's just so insanely powerful. Yeah and Loki's like are those all infinity stones? They're guys like oh yeah we have tons of them. You want them in the other ones?

I use them in paper weights. Yeah it's like something like something I use in paper weights like Loki's like, are those all infinity stones? They're guys like, oh yeah, we have tons of them. You want in the other ones? I have them in the paper weights. Yeah, it's like something I use to my paper weights. Like, Loki's just like, what? Which one was it? Was it the mine stone that was in the test, right? I thought it was. Time? No, I thought it was space.

Time was green, I think. I thought time was yellow. Time was the Doctor Strange one, wasn't it? Yeah. Oh yeah, that was the time screen, that's green. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh no, the mine stone was in his... The septer, wasn't it? I don't remember. Wait. That's the time screen. That's green. Yeah. Oh, no. The minestone was in his step toe, wasn't it? I don't remember.

Wait, that would be good. It was space. Space. Space. The minestone's in vision. The yellow one. Yes. What was in his stick then? That was the same as the test rack. Yeah. I think he takes the stone out of the test rack and then puts it in the stack. And is that not the, yeah, that's in a ventures. Yeah. But he has the test rack because they went back in time There are some we feel watching right now. Where is like

I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm not sorry. We can talk. Oh, we can talk about it. So if we want Getting so many details wrong. Yeah space. Okay, so it's the space stone in the test right. Yeah, that makes sense This is the best thing about having The chat people watching us talk about this that they can just yeah, they can correct us right off the bat We're never wrong though space was in the test right mind was in the septa Oh, they were two different ones. Okay, so he oh That's right because they're in the age of ultra and they have the scepter on the thing when they're scanning it. It's right. Yes, yes, yes. It's all coming back to me now. I wonder what you're looking. I wonder if check

it's more angry when we get like Marvel information wrong like that or science information wrong or equally both. They're equally true in my head. So, it's true. I'm science. Yeah, I mean at this, it's so like the Marvel movies are so part of my life. Like gravity, what stones in the staff, it's all the same thing. The more I understand science, the more I'll understand Marvel movies. He's true, Carrie. So that's why the smartest people enjoy those movies. Yeah, like like us. Obviously. Yeah. Do you think? Never. Obviously, yeah, do you think? Never.

The dumbest thing ever. I tried to avoid it. Do you think if, uh, if the Hulk needed a colonoscopy, if it'd be easier for him to transform into the Hulk, because like his butt would be a little bit bigger? I know. I think I think his podcast conversation, I think his butt would crush the camera. Hmm. Like the his cheeks. No, I think like the anus. Oh, the inner the inner you think that would just okay, okay, that makes a lot of sense. You know, I think

regardless of how big you are, your buttolls just as tight. Right? Is that what they say? I'm saying, if you need to get a camera in my butt versus like an elephant's butt, I think it would be one would be significantly easier. Right. From that video of the elephant, the sat on the guy's head. Oh, I forgot about that. Oh my god. Do you think the guy's still alive, right?

Like, he tells that story. His head is just gone. Just right up there. I don't know if I've seen this. Oh, it's like a really, really old video. It's like solo quality, but it's just like, just to be clear, you can't unsee it. We're not talking about a fucking East Ventura coming out of the rhino, fake rhino, right? No, no, that's the other way around.

That's the way around. Just his head coming out. Yeah. If an elephant sat on a man's place. That's a chance point. If he went in feet first, that would be really... Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my on a man's plate he went in feet first that was really Yeah, oh my god What's happening? What's he doing?

I feel like you need the curburentusias of these What if that's where the credits are to cover your threes? Okay, okay, upside silver lining brown lining, but silver lining. Yeah, that was good joke. Can he get again a swirl record for having the biggest hat? Technically, that's probably the biggest hat anyone's ever had. You know, can you see the him or Bernie Bernie I'm not sure we'd have to be sure What is the what is a hat like would it have to be would he have to be upright with it?

Balancing on his head or is it just something you wear on your head? That's could be still on the ground. I mean like what qualified I mean Barb hang on. Let me if I get oh this is great for my back Am I still wearing a hat bar? Yes. The Nellifant wins. What? No. Karen, do you need help? I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. I'm just saying, it's still a hat. The Nellifant wins. I've put something up real bad on this. OK. We're good. Everything's fine. Yeah, I mean, you just got a thing.

Oh, Nellifant wins. You know, that's a move. It's fine. We're good. You'll just have to sit lower for it. I'll sit like this. There we go. There's actually better for my back. Is this okay? Do you mind this? With the feet on the table? That's fine. That's it. It's more of a helmet than a hat. Okay. Okay. I, uh, I feel like I'm starting to get judged by my phone. I feel like my phone's making assumptions about my life that I don't like. Do you all have this feature where it's like, you get in your car or you're gonna go somewhere

and like your phone looks at your calendar and it estimates like you have, it's this many minutes to get where you're gonna go. Yeah. Now when I get in my car early on Saturday mornings, like if I'm gonna go get coffee or something it's like Hey, it's only X number of minutes to get to the dentist. I'm like I'm not going to the fucking dentist I guess I've gone so frequent so frequently that it's like hey, you're going to the dentist, huh?

Okay, it's only this I'm like I'm gonna go to the fucking dentist go that was that was one of the early things that depressed me during like the quarantine was the cheapest in my car every Every time I got in the car, I was like, oh, you're going to work, right? I'm like, no. No, I'm going to go to an HB and stand in line. My third story is about people's algorithms and stuff figuring out that they were pregnant before they knew because they would start like,

I guess Googling certain symptoms or like if they were looking certain things up, it would like mean that they were. You find it just be like like it's a boy. I've also seen stories about people getting like flyers from stores advertising prenatal vitamins and things like that. I don't eat this. And then they were pregnant. Damn dude. The beast it knows. I always just get very confused when like a service Like That's not satisfying I popped it wasn't I popped have you ever had

Have you ever had that Amazon suggest that you subscribe to something instead of just buy one off But it's something that you would never want yet. Oh Sorry, I'm starting out my cup. Hey. It did that to me the other day. I don't want to subscribe to a towel rack. Why would they even suggest that? No, I'm subscribing safe. I have 100%. I check things before I click check out.

I didn't actually do it, but it was by default. I took click to buy one instead of. Usually it's on like hair products. It was like in product. Yeah, no Gavin, it did that to me the other day. I was trying to buy. Oh, I Usually it's on like hair products. So it's like in products. No Gavin, it did that to me the other day. I was trying to buy, oh, and 50. I went off.

Wow, what did you get done in that 50? How much cleaning did you get done? I got so much done, I listened to some good jokes. Yeah, I'm sending it for another 50. You heard me pop. Um, I was buying an enclosure for a computer blue ray drive. And it asked me if I wanted to subscribe and save. Why?

And you clicked yes, yes. Yeah, so getting one next time. You're gonna watch more than one blue ray, right? You're gonna change the enclosure. Yeah. So you had an internal blue ray drive that you want to put on the outside? Yeah, I got in your case, I don't have a drive slot anymore, because that's ancient, apparently.

Hey, yeah, question, Do you still use that drive? Yeah, like I rip my movies Okay, you know, are you a you a plex guy? Yeah, yeah, I was and I got really lazy based on all the things that we're talking I don't get up but the disc it oh, hey my phone just told me it's time to stand my two What is it does it happen like on the ten? Ten to the hour yeah What should a movie see everyone in there just go It's not always most accurate though because I've been working at my standing desk and edit tell me that I

Yeah, and I was like oh do we get on a chair like what the fuck do you want for me? Speaking you got to put your arm down like that. Yeah, speaking of watching a movie I went to the theater for the first time since February 2020 I saw your tweet. Yeah. What did you see? I saw a road runner, which was the Anthony Bourdain documentary. We need. No, not the meat meat road runner. I don't know what you're talking about. It's a documentary about Anthony Bourdain.

He did travel shows and cooking stuff on Dr. Travel Channel and CNN and stuff like that. He committed suicide two years ago now, two or three years ago. So it was all about like his life and just like how he got to that point. And it was interesting, there was a lot of stuff I didn't know about. And despite the fact I'd feel like I'd watched him for decades on television. Yeah. Like I guess they said like when they first,

they said that initially he wrote a book. That's how he became well known. It was called Kitchen Confidential. And that it was like such a huge success that he was supposed to write a second book. That's how he became well known. It was called Kitchen Confidential. And that it was such a huge success that he was supposed to write a second book. And that some TV producers were like, hey, instead of writing a second book, why don't we make a travel show?

And why don't we just follow you around and make some TV television and we can do it that way? And he's like, sure, we'll do it, why not? And before that, he had never traveled. Really? So it was like, they know, the two people who pitched him the two producers, they were like, they'd spent, they had one meeting with him before for two hours where they pitched this. They didn't know the guy at all and they got

on a plane with him and went to Japan and they're like, all right, we're going to film for two weeks going around to different places. And they were just like, he didn't know them. They didn't know him. Like, they were so as like all this weird awkward interaction. He'd never been outside of the US. That's crazy. Yeah. And then by the end, like by the time you watch, like the show has been doing after a long time, it's like, this guy seems like the most

seasoned world traveler. Yeah. Like he knows every little thing about every place. I think I watched some, uh, no reservations. And he seemed like he'd been everywhere on us. Yeah. Like, like, there was a, he did a, I think, uh, no reservations. I think it was no reservations and he seemed like he'd been everywhere on this. Yeah, like there was, he did I think a no reservations. I think it was no reservations.

I think he did one like Barack Obama where they like sat down in a cafe in Vietnam and they like drank a beer and ate food. Like while Obama was still president, it's like that's fucking crazy. Wow. The level of access that he had and the things that he did. Which theater did you go see that? The Draft House down in South Lamar. Oh nice.

I mean, it seems like a good movie. I mean, Fast 9 was available to be your first movie back. Right, I mean, that's a missed opportunity right there. You can say you learn a lot about me when you know that the last movie that I saw before the pandemic was the Sonic movie. And the first one I saw back was fast not the last one I saw was parasite. It was like my second viewing. Okay, that's good. One thing I should bring up might just reminded me there was a little bit of controversy about that

road runner documentary because you know obviously Anthony Borden committed suicide. So that's a lot of interviews with other people and like they use archival footage of him from golfing you know He'd been on TV for a long time they also They also used a deep fake version of his voice to read things that he never had Recorded himself saying like they had an email that he wrote But obviously he never recorded himself reading that email. So they had this deep fake program Read the email, but it's like and I obviously he never recorded himself reading that email. So they have this deep fake program. Read the email. But it's like, and I, I guess,

did they try and pause it? I think that that's the biggest problem. Right, there's no mention of it in the movie. That's the saddest problem. Yeah, I feel like you could do that as long as you say, it would have been better if they clarified it. Yeah, and honestly, in the edit, I don't think there was any need to have him narrated.

They could have had someone else read it because he sent that email to someone who they interviewed. They could have had the recipient read it Or just anybody Yeah, everyone beautiful voice. Just have a bomb. I do That's you know, I was on your book. It was great a little out of poor taste. Yeah, it was it was weird Is definitely like a strange choice for the documentary. I, there's gotta be, not that our government,

I'm not gonna get it, but we've gotta pass some legislation or some should at some point. It's like you have to have a disclaimer. Like we've gotta set that, get that going now of like, cause that's just gonna happen all the time. For clarity, it was just audio. There was no video of it. It was just like this time.

A video, yeah. This time, yeah. I mean, they've done it in for now. Like I assume they did it with like Carrie Fish's voice when her face was made young again. Oh, but you only have like one line, right? But it's like, it's because it's, I guess fiction, like you know it's,

yeah, you're not that believing it. Yeah. But you know what they've done. Not it's because it's, I guess fiction, like you know it's, yeah, again, not that believing it. Yeah, you know what they've done not to keep bringing it up, but Paul Walker and Fastenferior 7, yeah, you see, and his brother, I mean, it's true. But I guess yeah, like, where does it? Because this is a documentary about someone's experience. And like, if you're acting as though this person is reading it,

even though they never did, but you're portraying them as a real person in this situation, whereas like in Star Wars, it's a though they never did, but you're portraying them as a real person in this situation, whereas in Star Wars, it's a character that you're having live on in a certain way. I feel like a disclaimer is just the easiest way to do it. It's just like, hey, for a motion sake, we've made a similar feeling. We've read it.

Even though, but I guess like you're saying, if they had had the people that he'd sent those messages to read them, I feel like that would have had more of an impact because you're hearing from the people that he affected. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, an interesting choice.

Yeah, I mean, it is funny though when you can get it to be like celebrity saying like farts and stuff. Like that, like, let's more of that. I feel like that even started back. This has been something that's been building, right? I remember the first time this happened, I want to say it was back in the late 90s,

Coke did an ad with Fred Astaire. And it was like, Fred Astaire's been dead for years. And they, yeah, they had like this, I think it was like a singing in the rain thing where he comes out like that says, and it's like holding a Coke. And at that time, that was the first time and happy we were like, wait, like, is this,

like where do we draw the line here? Like, this person is dead. What they have even accepted the sponsorship. Like, is it the estate making decisions? And I just even have to go through the estate. Right. But it's just, it's, it's, it's creepy. And then that has led to this creep where now we're at a point where you could

have people saying or doing things that they never did at all. Like at that one, they, they used at like at least a base reference from a movie now. It's like it can be anything invented from nothing I mean to be fair the other way, you know, I I could imagine that In the audience family appreciated like hearing his voice Again and saying something like unique like I don't know I could see that too. Yeah, they had interviews like with his brother and his X-Wife Second wife and like yeah people who knew him. It was, yeah, a lot of people talking.

That's good. Because he does. The filter on social media that like, brings photos back to life. That's life like they used to be. Like, when they were alive. But I mean, two life. Like, people do it with relatives that have passed

or friends that have passed and like, they have a picture and then it animates the picture like moving and smiling and like doing all this stuff. It seems creepy as hell. It's like if people want that for their experiences and like it makes them feel like you know connected to that person by all means but in my feelings it's a little uh- A little too far. A little too far, a little creepy for my liking. A little bit uncanny valley. There were so many people even, they were filming themselves drawing and painting and

left it on the whole time. And before the eyes were drawn, it was just like the lip shape and like just like a black one. Like a black one for the eye. It was already trying to animate. It was crazy. That was pretty cool though. Very interesting.

But also very often. Yeah. It was crazy. Yeah, that was pretty cool though. Very interesting. But also very often. Yeah. It's weird. Yeah, porn's gonna get weird in the next five years here. I remember we used to. Yeah, and then I just think, I'm honest. We used to use that program crazy talk.

I don't know if you ever had to use crazy talk back in the day. Yeah. And like that was like a very rudimentary way to animate, like a still image to make it look like it was talking or like blinking and moving around. Now it's just like that was all algorithmically done as opposed to like you're set in track the eyelids. Yeah, now you don't fucking set those key frames around. I'm just only talking about TikTok.

There's there's this there's this like a couple were like the girlfriend kept photoshopping a smile on her boyfriend's pictures because he never smiled. Oh yeah, that was super angry never smiled. That was super angry. I was really fucking super happy. Super happy. Can't be angry now. My life just take talk now. So you know, whatever.

Oh, your life is TikTok currently, but is it going to be all steam deck in a couple months? I carry an I-Ware already arguing about this before the podcast. It's got your steam stuff. Oh, yeah. A steam version of a steam switch. Yeah, I see.

It's basically the name, like confusing to me. It's very, it's a terrible name. What's a clock? Steam deck. The steam deck, not a stream deck, but also not a steam link. Yes. It's like a hand held computer, like a switch. Right.

Now, I saw the post about it, but a PC that can run steam. So is it running the games or is it streaming them like a steam? No, it's running. It's running the games are it streaming them like a steam no It's running. It's running them. Can you stream them instead? It's I think you could I think you could yeah stream from your steam deck from stream deck I like a PC to steam. I mean you could install fucking windows on it if you want. So yeah, you could um, it I think some of you are saying like docked I this might be super wrong, but Doct, it was about,

like, because you can, like, sit on a Doct component on TV, it was about as powerful as an X-Box One or PS4, but when running at, like, 720p, like, on the screen, it was, like, only 25% less powerful than a Series X or PS5. Like, why, why Doct do the compare it to the Xbox One, but Undock the compare it to the Series X? Well, because it's, like, the resolution, yeah, because being able to play at 720

gives it makes them things run and look better, but it's also then on like the, yeah, it seems like a slightly flawed comparison, but that's interesting. It is, yeah. I just, I could not bring myself to pre-order this thing. You know why? Yeah.

Oh, because you, was that what was I doing work? Because I hated the steam controller so much. That thing. Yes, of course. So I was like, they don't know how to make hardware. I'm not going to fucking order that thing until I can hold it myself and see it. Smart. Yeah.

Look, here's the thing I will say. Or do a second iteration. Or do a second iteration. Yeah. The, okay. Valve does not have a great track record of releasing a piece of hardware and then supporting it. The index. Here's the.

Have they released one game for it? It was good though. Oh, I see. Well, I mean, you could do a lot with it. I'm not that one game. Gabe, if you're listening, you are no Valve. I love you guys. The actual haptic, like, touchpad thing feels very good to use.

Anytime they design a controller, it's so clear that they're PC players. Yeah. It's like they don't know how, like where did the hands go? I perverted it because it was $5 to pre-order and it made me feel like more secure. And I like the way, did you hear the, like how they did it with like the,

like the way we were putting it, gatekeeping pre-orders, to try and prevent scalpers. It, so you, you could pre-order it Friday, starting at noon, our time. But you could only pre-order it on Friday if you've had a steam account that had been active since like, I think June of 2021.

Oh, it's like before they announced it. Exactly. But then if not, you could pre-order it on Sunday. So, you know, if you never had a steam account, you want to get this, you could, you just have to wait till Sunday. Just avoid a bunch of people flooding in, who who don't who intend to like exactly. Yeah, like if you just yeah Gabe was there It was like no you can't get this now. I want to argue with someone in chat. I was I was saying it's not a pre-order

It's a $5 deposit Listen Are we really gonna it's some breath are we gonna fucking split hairs over this what is the $5 going towards? Good Wait, just the $5 go against the price of it. I think so. Yeah, I think if you cancel it it just goes to your wallet I'll be honest. I was hoping for a little bit more out of that new switch update Yeah, rather than like a point four inch Edition or something like well. Yes like what did it really give it?

It's a slightly bigger screen that's OLED and it has new sound and I just feel like it was it was small enough to be like a quiet update like when they increased the battery size and it was just like yeah this one has the same battery yeah essentially the same size screen right yeah I feel like now the doc we have a big announcement Well the doc have a dedicated ethernet port. Yeah, but you're you're losing the USB port That was on the inside anyways. Yeah, which is what I was using. I have a USB connector to an ethernet port there And still the only thing I wanted bluetooth audio. Yep, still no bluetooth audio which the steam Steam deck has right? Oh, yeah.

Yes. If that thing, if that thing dox could do full K, I would have bought it probably. Yeah, that's us. That's, I was waiting for the pro to do 4K. I've got, I'll send you an adapter. I'll send you an adapter that I got for the switch. It's just something.

Before we get too far away from the video game talk, have you guys played, it takes two. Yes, I played a little bit with John. You played with John? Yeah, it's fun. Trevor and I have been playing it. It's cute. It is such a good game.

I cannot get enough of it. I just, like, I want to keep playing it, but I don't, because I don't want it to be over. I just did the bit where we have a hammer and nails. We, yeah, we did that part already. Now we're, we're in a, oh, I won't get away because it's a whole story. But yeah, that game is, is beautiful. They do a good job like having the two players have to work.

I haven't had that much fun. Two players like doing like co top, co up stuff since like portal two, like the co up stuff back. I also love how low stakes the game is. Like you could die and it just like pops you right back in. What if it's like a mod cool, no, you just reset the whole game if one of you. I would literally just destroy everything in my path.

But also like the mechanics are super fun. And a little like, what's the word I'm looking for? It's not too strict. So like if you jump to grab something as long as you're like in the air in the range It'll hook on and stuff like that like what do you play on? PlayStation peace five or four five. Yeah, how's the like haptic? Oh, man, we talked about a lot of stuff in 15 minutes Yeah, yeah, I think it's good. I that's my favorite thing about the next gen the controller on the ps5

Fucking amazing. It's really good. Yeah, I want one. That's my first time playing on anything on the controller Either you played the new ratchet and client game on the ps5. Oh, I platinum dick Gus that game is Amazing it is the most next gen game ever played that game is fantastic. I and I played it in performance RT mode I did I did performance mode, which I regret yeah fantastic. And I played it in performance RT mode. I did performance mode, which I regret. Yeah. What's performance RT? So performance RT is 60 frames a second.

And real rate racing. Yeah, still has rate tracing, but doesn't add all of the other bells and whistles. So if you do full performance, I'm sorry. I did fidelity, I'm sorry. If you do fidelity, then you get all the bells and whistles, but 30 frames a second. And the performance, like even noxious like even knocks even more like every little like everything

You smash it's like a hundred little like bolts and nuts go against the ground every when you pick up is just a little On your hands The triggers are so good for the weapons like a lot of them. It's like Like depending on which weapon you have equipped the trigger sensitivity is different and feels different So some of them it's like you pull down halfway and it stops you and then you go all the way to fire. I'm about to sound really fucking old again. Gus, did your finger hurt sometimes?

No, my finger, I would get like right finger fatigue. You threw out your finger? Yeah, yeah. I'm actually not an epic gamer, though. I would get that with some games. Yeah. I, like the default gun you fire, if you go like halfway and then click, it's like a single shot, a pew. But if you gun you fire if you go like halfway and then click it's like a single shot a pew

Yeah, but if you like wrap if you like wrap it hold it down that it turns into like a spread shot Yeah, and I'll based on like Customizable haptic feedback on the controller that changes depending on how you're I feel like it's amazing The Xbox controller has I don't think it has that but it has the capability to vibrate. Yeah triggers controller has I don't think it has that but it has the capability to vibrate Yeah, triggers. I think no games do that. Yeah, I have because I have like the I splurged and I got the the Elite 2 thing it's like the nicest control I've ever owned but it's missing all of that stuff and it's just like even like the switch it's like the HD rumble. It's got that thing. I think I think I've not I

have an Elite 2 as well and maybe I said to you come on Maybe I don't know how to do this me you guys can't just for me on the original Elite you could double tap the sink button if you wanted to disable the paddles on the back Oh interesting and on the video. Yeah, I don't know because I would always hit it back and in some games I would hit it back and I didn't want it and some games I wanted it on the elite to you can't do that anymore Look I'm off all the ones. Yeah, but I like to keep on Because then I developed a thing where I would just. Look him off all the ones. Yeah, but I like to keep him on. Yeah, because then I developed a thing where I would just nervously hit them all the time.

I've been now with Yelitu since I can't disable those paddles. I'm gonna say, oh, shit, fuck. That would actually give me a thing. The shift features on those paddles? No. I don't think I'm smart enough to be that. I have it so that I use three of the paddles, but the top left one is the shift,

and then the other ones become like my TV volume. Oh, I co-down and like volume up. And it's like, I don't think you could do that in the first elite, but I find that so useful. We're super smart. We're super nerdy. We're in the super true. You get everything like that one.

You guys are so experienced. This is my first time ever playing anything on the PlayStation 5, so I'm getting used to that controller. How did you get one? It's not mine, it's Trevor's. How did he get one? How did he? Yeah. I think he just got, he found a one to order on a site that was like putting them up every now and he found a dude on a rascal scooter. Oh no wait I think I think Larry found one and he found one. He found one. For audio listeners it really weird the barber put found in air quotes found I'm like I'm trying to get a series

Actually now and I'm on like a discord that like alerts me every time they go It's I got so lucky I ordered one the day they went on preorder from the Microsoft website Everyone was trying like all the game retailers and I was getting frustrated and someone just tweeted at me that day like Why don't you try the Microsoft website? Oh, yeah, that's it and I just getting frustrated and someone just tweeted at me that day, like, why don't you try them on my software website? I was like, oh, yeah, shit. And I just went there, it was no problem. I just went like I was buying anything. It was around Trevor's birthday when it came out.

So I tried to like go to a bunch of different retailers and stuff to try to see if I could like surprise him with one. But I also was like, I probably can't do that because he's doing the same thing and we're gonna end up with two places. I mean, yeah, anytime I saw them for sale, I was sending them to you for a while. Like, there's a link, they're here for a little while.

You get a disc or digital. I wanted digital, but I got this. I think it's digital. Use the disc. Is it? Yeah. How do you know that? I saw it.

Oh, he's been in your house. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you were at my place. Yeah. Yeah. I got this. I got this. I got this. I remember because I saw it and I have a disc one also. And I looked at yours and I thought,

is hers upside down or is mine upside down? Oh, you see it's neither of them work. They had it upside down and they had to pull. Oh, yeah, like they put out an ad and it was upside down and everybody's like, oh, hey guys, maybe a chance to see you know. Yeah, but yeah, that game is, I know. It's so much fun.

It's a ton of fun. I played it on PC. It's funny because I watched you and John played on stream one time Yeah, and I was watching you guys do this one level with the toolbox that boss and I was like fuck It's game looks so hard and when Trevor and I got to the point. Oh, she's like oh, no Oh, no, I didn't see how they beat this. What do we do? That was that was tough That took us a few tries to get through. Yeah, yeah. It was my fault.

I kept messing that up. When you play it, is it one of those games where you feel more bonded with the person afterwards or do you hate them? Because portal two, I felt like, went both ways. They've been on. I think it's bonded. There's not as much hate as there was with portal.

It may get depends who you're playing with. Trevor has the patience of a saint. And so if I die a thousand times, I'm just like, oh, I'm like, oh, sorry, he's like, it's okay, let's go again, don't worry. Come on, champ, let's get on. He's like, don't worry about it, you're learning. Yeah, doing our slice.

Whereas like if I was playing with someone else, I'd probably be like, come on. Okay, okay. You're so bad. And I'd be like, I know. I'm just enjoying the rumble so much. He's very much like just a very, very patient kind person. Not everyone is like that, especially with co-op games.

Yeah, you had to find the right person for co-op game. Oh yeah. You could play a Trevor. Oh yeah. Yeah, you guys had a lot of fun. We can link arms like controllers going around each other. You have like your half, your all right arm, and he uses this left hand and then he

the other way there. Yeah. We get to a part where it vibrates a lot and we just like a little more. Yeah. I think the thing is it's such a fun relaxed game in terms of like it really is no stakes because you die but you come right back to like the last checkpoint or just if the other players still alive you just pop up where they are. Yeah.

You can if you die at the same time you just go back to your previous checkpoint. Yeah, that's like a whole thing. I feel like right now I was talking about easy mode and stuff and... Can we just have fun? Just enjoy games. I'll admit it sometimes. I lower the difficulty. Look, I'm replaying the legendary edition of Mass Effect still.

Yeah. And it's like, I've already played these games already beat them. I just want to see the story again. So I lower the difficulty. I just want to play a game. Yeah, I just want to... That's crazy, too. I just want to see the story again. So I'm lower with the difficulty. I just want to play a game. Yeah. I just want to play it. That's crazy. I just want to remember. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story. A story.

Like because you like down the like without the aliens sometimes I didn't always so I've been replaying Mass Effect 3 and I had to rewatch that RTI animated adventure we made when it came out complaining about James like who the fuck is this guy just showing up after 3k we made a few videos in Mass Effect 3, didn't we? Oh yeah. The Multiplayer. God, the Multiplayer was so much, I'm gonna rewatch that. That's the thing I missed in replaying Mass Effect 3 now.

It's like, I had so much fun in that multiplayer. I would always make a Krogan Biotic and just like charge into all of the enemies. I know we had a thing with bees, but I can't play the B. Oh, the bees. They were everywhere. Did the remasters have multiplayer? No. It's just single player. Yeah.

So that's how I've been missing it. Yeah. I think we need to go ahead and wrap up right now. We have that interview. We're going to show you right now with Kevin Smith. So stay tuned for that. But we're going to wrap up to be part of the show. Don't go anywhere because we still have Kevin Smith

interview coming up right now. So check it out. Bye. Let's stay. check it out. Bye! Let's stay. Let's stay. Bye, but no, bye. This episode of the Rusted Podcast is brought to you by Logitech. Ears.

It's me, Gus, I'm here with John and Blaine and we got a special guest with us. We got a Kevin Smith here. Hello, welcome. Kevin, how are you doing? Absolutely lovely to be here, man, but almost died three years ago. So it's lovely to be

like fucking anywhere. It is a good place, kids and people above ground. You know what I always say? I'm like, Oh, above ground is better than below ground, but that's not true. If nobody is listening to you and you're being ignored, being above ground and having people be like, come on our podcast, we can ask you questions. That is as good as it gets, my friends, because that means you're still relevant, still vital. And that's something I've been looking for for nearly 30 years in my career. Relic, I had it in the beginning. I need it now more than ever. I feel the same way about above ground pools and just like they're clearly better. There's so much, you know, they're they're warmer.

I grew up in the above ground pool. I was raised in the above ground pool. The above ground pool good enough for me. That sounds pruning. Well, it's very pretty. I remember going into the above ground pool like it was seasonal. So we would take it down in the fall because we lived in Jersey. But we left it up to October one year and like at a certain point,

you start, you stop skimming and you stop putting chlorine tablets in That shit was like pond green and my mom went to Bradley's and she bought like a discount swim fun shit so like fins and a snorkel and a mask and my brother's like four years older than me He's like we have to try it out. Oh, oh me. He's like, we have to try it out. Oh, horrible fucking pool. Half full of some of the dirtiest, murkiest bullshit brain part in the world. And fucking strapped on our gear and paddled around, put our faces under with the fucking mask and the snarkle on shift. Did you come out all green like Merman? You

like you came out? I did. I came out. I'll tell you what, that's what gave me the ability to write clerks. That's the point of that story, kids. That was my Marvel secret origin story. The chemicals in that pool gave you the abilities that have kept you going this long. Yeah, all terms for the chemicals in that pool. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the above ground pool. You don't see them anymore, man.

Now everyone's like, wow, I guess it costs like, I guess my brother is trying to get one. He's like, I want an in-ground pool. I said, how much does that cost? And he said, it's like 30 to 40,000 bucks. And I was like, oh, I was like, well, I guess like, you could either decide to get a car or let's pay off a pool and have an in-ground pool.

And having an in-ground pool instantly makes him a proper field rich, right? Especially if you grew up in a background pool, you're like, oh, shit, like we're a moving on up. Like this is the way. Yeah, when I was a kid, I didn't have any friends with an in-ground pool, but that was like,

we all held that esteem. Like if we knew someone with an in-ground pool, we knew they had money. Like they were rich and they were none of us in any of us. They were they were loved as well. Kids, I had an in-ground pool and I felt none of those things,

Kevin. So I don't know what you're talking about. It's so awesome to hear that because my whole body always felt like life would have been better if we were richer as children, but apparently not. No, no. No, you needed to suffer and be poor and have a crappy life to be able to use that for stories later on. That's how it works, right?

This is what I guess. I mean, I hope it's not. I'm trying to give my kids a good life but I hope that isn't ruined them to not be creative is that you just fucked your kids up man damn it like given them what they need how do I need to take away all their stuff and say Kevin Smith told me to do that please please don't bring my name into it like before trying to remain relevant youth help that so I need those kids to believe in me still. Yeah, to watch he man. That is what we're talking about. It's funny you bring that up because like growing up my family, you know, didn't

have very much money. And but they do one of the things that I did have one of the few toys I did have as a kid were some he man action figures. And to this day, if my mother goes to the store and she sees a key man action figure, she takes a photo of it and text it to me. Like three days ago, he texted me battle cat that she saw at Walmart and she was like, look what I found and I looked at it, I was like, oh, this one's a little different,

like the legs on this one moved the one I had, it didn't, it was like the original figure that did it. Yeah, exactly, you would put the saddle on it. And I was like, I can't believe my mom, here's like, it's almost 40 years later. And she's still like, she's still remembered that I used to love he-man. And she, when she sees the toy, she's still like, look, I just saw this in the store. That's true. You just gave your mom

so much credibility in this space. Like, you know, in this space, you generally hear the stories like my mother sold my comics and sold all my toys. Hearing that, like, even as a grown-ass adult man, you're probably like your friend, he man is he. Yeah. Oh, that's a do. I wish my mom. I have legitimate story where I grew up in a very religious home and they wouldn't let me enjoy he man

because Skeletor looked like a demon. Same with X-Men, my parents. And I have more stuff, which is literally a ramset. Yeah, they were against that idea that they wouldn't like anything satanic, like Nightcraw is literally a ramset. Yeah, they, uh, they, uh, they were against any of that. They, uh, they, uh, they went on like anything satanic, like night crawler from X-Men. Could you, I mean, I was, my dad, could you imagine growing up in a house, but you're like, I did.

I imagined it every day. Yeah, yeah, that was me. I, I, I did that stuff in secret at school. The kids had the toys and I'd play with them at school and they were like that, but at home, no, that stuff, no, that stuff. I was, I was, I was, I was raised Catholic too, none of that stuff, none of that stuff. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding.

I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding.

I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding.

I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was kidding. I was like a Baptist Christian parents. They're the ones who are just like trying to Purify you at every moment. We just hit a whole lot less than Kevin probably did as a 70s kid man, so we got like hit a lot my dad was not abusive but when my mom would always do this thing Where she's like, you know, he won't listen to me and then your father is coming home from work He's already frustrated and he's got your mom going like, your kids fuck a bad and he's like, all right, time for the belt. And then when you were getting smacked, your mother fucking turned and was like,

don't do it. Why? My baby. Yes. And it's like, you put me in this position. Terrible. Yago. But yeah, I was of the generation where you could get hit and I remember when it stopped when there was like this kind of like when they started talking about in the media like just the notion of like why would

somebody four times as large somebody small and like who thinks that this kind of negative reinforcement works and so but with a weapon I had like weapon by the time I had a kid, it was just not even on the table. Like you like I'm Jennifer and I would talk about like, do you imagine people would like hit a kid back in the day? And I never even happened to occasion where I was like, oh, this kid's making me so mad I need to lay hands on this kid.

I can't imagine how miserable my father's life was that he was just like, let me add him. Oh my God, you trigger me and I'm gonna pull that bolts off. But when they when the shoe flipped and then the beating was not as acceptable, then you're like the guy in diehard and you're like diplomatic immunity. That's a weapon too, my friend. Can I say diehard? Fuck. See you later.

Did I see die hard? Fog. See you later. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we're here to talk about obviously the he-man show he-man, uh, Bob Tire, Master's Universe Reveilation, uh, which comes out July 23. It's coming out in a couple days from the time this airs. And I look like I had to know that we have a winner.

I like it's weird. I live in like the, I'm in the future of Masters masters the universe now because everyone's about to see the first five But we're still in the back five like you know, we're reaching out the back five So I was doing press a couple weeks ago and somebody asked me a question about the first five And I thought they were referencing something in the back five and completely like as a stoner conflated the two And started answering the question and the people were looking at me like, is he having a stroke?

But I wasn't. I was just answering a question they hadn't asked about something they hadn't seen yet and stuff. Your point of Tom Holland. A little bit, man. Well, I mean, but he, I think he does it to be like adorable. I think he doesn't now.

Yeah, I think his whole thing is to lean into it and shit. I mean, I was scared going into this because like I Haven't worked for like a corporation in a long time and shit and this was not just Netflix, but also my tell television So in my world I'm like, let me tell you the story of Clark's three. We haven't made it yet, but spoiler But when it comes to this shit like you have to be crazy Circumspec you can't just share as willingly as you normally do because it's not mine, right?

I'm working on it. But like, and Netflix has a very tight ship. They're like, look, we're in the business of shocking people with things they didn't know was coming and stuff. We're out there talking about it all the time. We can't really shock people and stuff. So a weird like period where like

for almost two years straight, I could only talk about it with certain people. And now I get to talk about it with the world. But even like when you just said, this is going to err before it drops, then I still have to be careful because I'm like, oh, I can't say the one thing because then I'll spoil it before they've seen it and stuff like that. It's a minefield, man, but they pay you well. Anybody could probably enjoy it. We tried to make it for quadrant. Marvel was our load star. I was like, let's just do a Marvel does.

Reserve their childhood in a new recipe that tastes even better and stuff like that. It'll make them feel warm and fuzzy inside like the critic and ratatouille and stuff. So that was our model going into it and whatnot. And I had two bosses, Rob, over at Mattel Television and Teddy, over at Netflix, who were like born, died in the wool, hardcore, motu fans, Teddy still has every toy. We're living in Teddy's dream. He dreamed of this. He's like, when I was a kid, I used to watch the show and I always thought they were about to kill each other, Skeletor and he meant. And then I grew up and realized that shit was never

going to happen. He's like always wished that I could see that version of the show that I thought I was watching when I was a kid. I want to see a version where there are stakes where people can die. Somebody can get stabbed with the sword that the guy is always swinging around and stuff. So at that point, I was like, I think I could do that. I'm your man. If they asked me to reinvent this shit,

I've been like, no way. But just like tell the next episode, that was the idea. It's like we're just doing the next episode of the old show, but in a world where people can get stabbed this time. Yeah, and it definitely feels like you grew up with the audience from the original because like you're treating it to the lot more respect

you could have phoned it in and I would have eaten it up. But there's like, there's a dramatic stakes and a character hanging fruit like that's the day I think of mo2 and Teddy was real clear about that up front He was like look some of the characters are goofy. It's very easy to make fun of this world and stuff He's gone just do me a favor like just once I wish people would treat this with like true reverence So do you know you made me care for Orco. You have no idea how much conversation we put into into that like into designing the fact that we wanted you to care about Orco because we knew that like some

people were like, fucking Orco ruined that show when I was a kid. So we were like, all right, we got to make Orco the mandate that we had in the writer's room was like, let right, we got to make Orga, the mandate that we had in the writers room was like, let's make Orga tattoo worthy. That every one of you will get tattoo on there are because he's the little engine that could. And so we thought about you going into it, specifically going, oh, we got to get people there

on the fence. Success, success. I fell for the guy. I'm telling you. There's even moments where I pulled myself, without getting as close, I pulled myself out of the moment and I was like, I'm tearing up over a green tiger. And I'm like, what even moments where like I pulled myself without getting a spoilers pulled myself out of the moment And I was like I'm tearing up over a green tiger and I'm like One word of that it's not just a green tiger. It's a green tiger voiced by Stephen root fucking Milton

Still he draws the emotion out of you like there's I tell these words of like don't make fun of it really set the standard like because there's no like I think when you get in the back half I loosened up a little more and there's like there's some Kevin Smith type jokes in the back out but in the front half man there's humor but it's like not me doing my normal humor and nobody's Disrespecting nobody's like look at this stupid ass costume everything is played incredibly straight and honors kind of what went before. Teddy said he goes, just for once, treat this shit like Shakespeare. And I was like, I'm mission accomplished. I will take that challenge.

I can't do Shakespeare, but I can do fake spear, man. Is that why you had a Merman get voiced by Kevin Conroy to give Merman some credibility? Some stupid. If Kevin Conroy's coming out of that mouth, you're going to respect that. Oh yeah. Number one, as a Batman animated series geek, I'm like to have Joker and Batman in the same scene because Marvel's that voice of Skeletor has actually talked to one point of merman. Yeah. Also like, you know, Kevin is classically trained, Broadway actor, and we all know him as fucking Batman, of course, but like those pipes at his he's used to projecting to the back of the house. So we gave Merman this very

stentorian kind of like, we could have controlled attorney up, but you forgot about Merman like this bittersweet kind of like loud Shakespearean performance, but he was definitely one of the first people we thought of, because I'd worked with him before and I just love his work period and stuff. But since we knew Mark was going to be our skeleton, we're like, we got to get Batman in here. We got to get Batman with Merman. There was even moments where I was like, he kind of reminds me of like old Boba Fett before they dubbed him over, where he's hitting these hard R's and he sounds like a pirate

and it was like, that's fucking Merman dude. What we did too was like kind of like, you know, if you go back and watch the old show, the voices, these voices don't sound a thing like the old. They didn't have to back them because they were for kids and so the voices were very kid friendly. So, but here we get to grow up

and like somebody like Manard Arms gets to be Liam Cunningham, who plays to John. Oh, Liam, Liam just chewed every word perfectly. And we love that he's got this like calm center like he did on Game of Thrones, but we portray him in the show as the most dangerous man attorney. He is Batman. He's he's

old Bruce Wayne who could fucking play anything and kill you with a look. And even when he's not in physical battle, it's mental battle as well. So like getting that guy to voice that character suddenly lends that even when he's not in physical battle, it's mental battle as well. So like getting that guy to voice that character suddenly lends that character more credibility than he ever had.

He's not just the mustache with the frupehole on the set. He's like, that's everybody's dad and stuff like that. I loved it. When I was one kid, Manit Arms was my favorite key man character. And then to have you cutting him, like some of his scenes where he's just like, you know, some of the reads and the

Attention he gives to that character is just so good and it plays so well like man like this is the show That like I'm excited for this. It's so good. We tried really hard the idea was like don't fuck up their childhood Don't fuck up anybody's childhood and now, but I like the changes you made like the girls are jacked. I love that That's definitely like a post-cora influence. And the love that are like, you know, in a world where most of the cartoons I grew up with, you know, people at spaghetti arms and shit. Here it's like these people carry fucking swords. They weigh 20 fuck out. It's like swinging away around at all times. Of course, that fucking jacked arms. No spoilers, but the moment that there's a moment

that Evil Linn takes her crown off, and even that moment of just seeing Evil Linn's hair, like that was like, ooh, this is a moment. I like this. It's going to be stolen from one of the episodes of the show. Oh, really? Yeah, like basically anything you see in the show, like I'm telling you, I'm not creative.

I have no new ideas. And I had a wonderful staff of writers, but like we leaned into like if you're going to do a thing, maybe it can reference a thing that happened because there's a fan out there that's going to be like, oh my god, and our whole plot kind of hinges on an old episode of the show that Paul Dini wrote years and years ago involving the sorceress character. So like, you know, everything that we did in the show, like when Evelyn takes off the helmet and her white hair is flowing, that literally happened while they were on the crystal, the crystal sea, like in the 80s, you know, so interesting. He bow modding stuff.

And it's just our guys power us animation, our directors Pat and Adam, you know, they're not doing coloring book drawings like they did back in the year for him and as usual they get to draw badass like wicked versions of these characters and you got a powerhouse animation which is just fantastic they're just killing it on everything they're making and they they took a jump in their castlevania work is fantastic there's safe mono stuff is fantastic All the stuff they do, the Greek gods, the show was a blood of Zeus. The Epozus is fantastic. But for some reason, I think going into

this, they were like, look, of everything we've done, this is probably the most high profile. So we're going to jack our game up even further. So Pat and Adam, who are directors, I don't think they had directed before. They'd worked on a lot of other powers. I imagine this is the first time they stepped up to the big job. And I will always advocate for a first timer

because what you lack in experience, you get in fucking passion. Like, because they didn't grow up on the show, but now can quote a chapter in verse and love it as deeply as people from the 80s. You know, they're all younger than me and stuff. But like these cats became additional writers as well. Like we'd write the scripts and then later on when they were animating the show

since they're overly familiar with every script and every episode. They would see shit we lost. Like in episode 10, there's a line that Adam was like, Hey, we're going to call back this line from episode one because it'd be a really wicked way to tie this all up. And I was like, as the head writer of the show, I'm going to take credit for that. Thank you for. You're right. He is my that was my good idea. Even even cold, though, because like you mentioned like teela, there's like a that that sorceress episode. I think I know the one that you're talking about, but like you're holding the old cartoon to standards, like in real life, where it's like, you kind of gaslit that character and like, we can't let that slide.

You got to bring it back. So that was it's cool. That was my favorite thing like about the opening of the old show because it's so like audacious. It's very comic book. You know, DC works on the Masters universe characters, right? Right. To, um, filmation.

But, um, so the idea of I got a secret identity and this person can't know about it, but some people who know, come straight out of DC comics and that's what always appeal to me. But so the idea of I got a secret identity and this person can't know about it, but some people who know come straight out of DC comics and that's what always appeal to me. But it's also like real grist for the dramatic mill where it's like everybody knows except her. And then she's going to find out in the worst possible way at the worst possible time, how do you live with that and stuff. So the deception was like,

you know, that was the adult element of our show. Everything else about it looks like your childhood, but then we add these like adult themes, as you saw in the first episode, first 10 minutes plays like a really well drawn version of he, man, in the massive universe. That's something happens and you're like, holy shit, like somebody dies and you're like,

what? And the characters react in the same way way where they're all like, wait, something different has gone on. And that's where the adventure kind of takes its turn, pivots and begins. It's like putting it's putting the animated character in dip and Roger Rabbit. Everyone's freaking out that an anime guy. Right. What a great reference.

I haven't thought about that fucking years. I'm in the theater for that. And like that's in my brand and wheelhouse. And still I was like, that's fucking metal. The fact that we're in it. Yeah, that's fucking metal. Yeah. Well, I can't wait for everyone to see Masters of the Universe

coming out on Netflix, Masters of the Universe of Revelations coming out in a couple days, July 23rd. Got a Netflix subscription. You can see the first five episodes, they're all dropping then. Then we can all talk about it together. You'll know the same things that we know we're going to know the same as

much as Kevin knows, but we'll catch up to him eventually. Thank you so much for taking the time. I do schedule. Talk with us. We're so happy. Super excited for the show.

Can we forever want to see it? Again, thank you. We're really, really happy to have you with us. So jazz for the next five episodes. I can't wait to share him

with you, man. Honestly, it sounds like hype, but they're better than the first 5. Oh, I'm down. That's the one thing I was happy about with what we did in the show. Like I wrote episode 1, so I should be like episode 1 is the best. Episode 2 is better than 1. 3 is better than 2.

4 is better than 3. 2 lead 1. And 5 is our best episode. When you get to 6, it's better than the whole previous first 5. And it's one of my favorite things I've ever seen in written form in my life. So that was the one I've never done episodic before, but being able to escalate at each time. So there's no like all that episode was boring.

Like it has been fun. And the beauty of only doing 10, right? Like it was like you got to do 20 of these. Like the good folks who did the real show back in the 80s, the original show. It makes 64 episodes the first run is 120. Exactly. We are breathing very luxurious air where we're just making a giant movie and cutting it up. That's great.
