Indecipherable. Can I say my favorite thing about the Hunter Biden laptop thing? Yeah. Is that at any given moment, at any given time time while Congress is in session Marjorie Taylor Green is showing his penis on the floor of Congress at every given chance of him just like doing what was he smoking meth hair whatever that was crack him smoking crack with his dick out and she just does that and that's just like in like they record everything in the House of Congress so that's just like in history forever.

Oh my God. The amount of the, I have an email now. You don't know. In my inbox of somebody for, I think legal saying taking the word fuck out of the line does not change how problematic having a loaded gun is. Yeah. And I just have that now. Yeah. So there's a scene. It's really for where you there's a line that was supposed to be. Is this a loaded gun?

And I'm I'm leaving it on you to figure out what scene of this. It's pretty. It's going to be hard. A lot of the guns, a lot. Sorry. A lot of the scenes would be better if there was a gun in it. Well, that's why the podcast is better, because there's always a loaded gun on set. We have it in there. In this drawer.

Yeah. People don't know that. It's there. We requested every, we have to have someone here every single time we film. It's very expensive, because we refuse to not have a loaded gun in that drawer every time. Yeah. I don't know if we still play the credits at the end of the episode, but it's like,

we have like producer Tyler, we have producer Cody, and then we have gun handler Ron. Yeah, it's like Armory Ops Ron. Yeah, Armory Ops Ron. And we don't, it's not that we don't want a credit, Ron, Ron with his last name We don't know his last name.

Yeah, Ron once told me that Trump was too woke Yeah, for him Real interesting guy. Anyway, so thertpodcast.com sleeps first.

And the week that this is coming out, it is week week, which is all about supporting camp camp. Jesus. It is very funny, especially because the first time somebody told me, I only heard it. I did not read it. And I assumed that they meant W-E-A-K week. OK. Like week week.

That's right, we're losing games. Yeah. Oh man. So go check out all the fun stuff that's happening this week on the, this week week, sorry, on the site. As we lead up to the premiere of Camp Camp, the new season coming out on Friday the first. I'm genuinely so excited.

It's so thrilling. Yeah, it was one of the most. I'm genuinely so excited. It's so thrilling. Yeah, it was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had. Truly, I don't want you to think that the legal thing means the show isn't as good as it could have been. It's really good. It's very funny. I'm making a lot of jokes, but like Andrew and I wrote on the season along with Eddie and Carrie

and a bunch of other writers too. We had like miles in some of the meetings. Like it was fucking awesome. It was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in my life. It really feels just incredible. And yeah, I got to write a cartoon with my best friend. So. Yeah.

Hey, but guess what? You get to watch a cartoon with your best friends. Yeah. I got a new jacket. Yeah, it's nice. I got a new jacket and I like it It looks really cool. You know, it looks like looks like my favorite suitcase. I Was gonna say it looks like It looks like the nicest camo. Yeah, like it's like your this is for when I have to go down to Florida

Yeah, and fighting the grandma wars. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. In the Rose Garden. Yeah, it does. For those of you only listening, I am wearing a jacket that looks like it was made out of your dead grandmother's couch cover. Yeah. And I love it. I love it a lot.

I love this jacket so much. This thing has happened to me twice today, where I was wearing this jacket and somebody just randomly asked me where I got the jacket from. and it's got a little Nike logo on it But I didn't want to tell The back one is pretty big the back one is pretty big They asked me where I got the jacket from and then I okay here's the thing I Remembered something that I read read about a week ago.

Are you guys familiar with Kim Jong-un? Yeah, yeah, I've heard of him. Yeah, friend of the show. My boy, yeah. Friend of the show, Kim Jong-un. Absolutely. Did you know, first of all, did you know that a couple, I think a year ago or so,

he switched up his, he stopped wearing the like, the traditional like suit. The Pee Wee Herman suit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the big, over like awful fitting suit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My man would wear suits that look like they fit me. You know?

I bet, here's my theory. I think Dennis Rodman left some clothes over at his house when they had a sleepover. He has some kings of comedy. I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I was gonna say those suits were one giant hat away When they had a sleep Those suits were one giant hat away from being One dick must sash away from a Steve What if fucking Kim Jong-un is just a huge Steve Harvey fan?

North Korea declares war on Cat Williams. Oh my God, so yeah, for years Kim Jong-un has been wearing that big fucking ill-fitting awful suit. Recently, no that was Kim Jong-il war like honestly the sickest fits I've ever seen on a mechanic before. Yeah, exactly. Truly an incredible fit. Recently though, Kim Jong-un has switched it up in favor for a black leather jacket,

like a duster almost. She's had a mid-life crisis. Yeah, mid-life missile crisis. No, that is like Gestapo. What the fuck? He looks like a bad guy from Raiders of Lost Ark. What the fuck? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Honestly, if you're sick as shit if you're listening if you'd worn this to school after Columbine you'd be sent home. Yes Oh, yeah, absolutely 100% here's another picture of him wearing a different leather jacket and glasses Dang dog wait hold on a second. He's copping the bite. Hey, that's a Biden

That's right. I need to cool like a shearling collar like leather jacket with like aviators. Look alright show a Collar like leather jacket with like aviators look all right show a while back Kim Jong-un switched it up and switched to this fucking Leather jacket look right? My boy looked at himself in the mirror. He went damn Kim or un I'm not sure how the naming convention works You looking good my boy. This is a good fit No one else can have this fit. And then he banned leather jackets in North Korea. Are you fucking serious?

Yeah. Wow. He found a fit so good that he banned anyone, it is a law in North Korea that you cannot wear a leather jacket because he is the only one that's allowed to rock the fit He's a he's a fair weather dripmaster because While he outlawed any other man having his haircut and then like a little while ago He made it like mandatory for like all men in like school that have his haircut. So I feel like I feel like

Give the year to leather jackets gonna be man It's gonna be it's gonna be a school uniform. Yeah, it's gonna be college uniform Yeah, it's gonna be if you're like between the ages of like 14 and 29 It's after it It's not like my man doesn't know how to cement a legacy because he's like either you're like the only one allowed on the drift Or you make everyone wear the drip. He goes back and forth. Yeah.

Hey man, where do you go to school? You got an interesting uniform. Oh, I got a blade university. Sorry, I got to run. I got blood rave. Yeah, exactly. 30 minutes. 30 minutes. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T- Oh my god, if I didn't live in glorious North Korea, I'd be really upset right now

You we're gonna get fucking new we should go do we can go me a dinny on the phone I swear to God. I have there is a service that I know of that can get us into North Korea Do you want to do like a live RTP from North Korea? Hello, CIA. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we're bringing Cody. We're bringing Justin.

Yep. We'll take Cat, but Cat's got to stay in the heli. Cat's got to keep the fucking motor running. Keep the fucking blades turning. We need extraction at any moment. She's just throw the rope ladder down. Oh yeah. She's hovering. She's not landing. She can just throw the rope at her now. Oh yeah.

She's hovering. She's not landing. She can't set foot in Pyongyang. Yeah. I, uh, oh my God. I think that's so interesting of doing the like banning it so no one else can have it and then making it mandatory. Because you're right.

He did do it with a haircut, which makes me believe I think fashion is only fashion if at least a few other people are doing it. Because if you're the only person doing it, you just look weird. Yeah. Yeah? I mean, is that not fashion? I mean, that is fashion. That's what I'm saying. Fashion's dumb. He realized that he had a...

There's no rules, but there's too many rules. He had a haircut that looked good on him, right? Yeah, but then he said no one else could have this haircut So then the fashion became a different haircut and he was like what the fuck now? I don't look good. Yeah, no everyone has to have this haircut. I refuse to change mine. Yeah, that is a I Mean I'll tell you what my man needs to get on some manic depressive meds. It sounds like, I think, I think... You think he needs some lithium? I think my, I think Homeboy needs some lithium because he is all over the place.

Well, he eats a lot of batteries. They don't have very many foods over there to eat anyway. I think, I think if you want to be like a leader or a politician or a dictator or whatever, I said the same thing, you should have to do a really, I think we should put you in a cave hole before you're allowed to run things. You want someone to have to completely dissociate? You have to experience full ego death before you're allowed to run anything. I think all politicians should have to do that

I feel like we could see I a them. Yeah, like we could Tell them like welcome all world leaders in for like a meeting or something Just do some coffee coffee Fucking put acid in everything on the lemon wedges and water Just I feel like if you give them a powerful or potent enough hallucinogenic or just most uppers, it would make them more empathetic to the human cause and maybe we would have a better role.

Who's to say? By the way, the Rooster Teeth Podcast and Rooster Teeth in general does not condone the drugging of world leaders. Sure. However. However. Yeah.

But. But it is a good idea. This is where you'll see a big scrolling text in my legal team. Yeah. Just yeah, exactly. Dear Starmando, I thought the gun thing was the worst thing you had ever said. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Man, I know that this seems like I'm really dick-riding Kim Jong-un right now,

but I saw a picture of his new fit, and then I heard about the law, which prompted me to look up Kim Jong-un fashion. Yeah. I think he's the goat. I think he really got that shit on, dude. I think he's rocking some shit. Also, let me just tell

you my favorite thing recently. Kim Jong-un lost like, I think they said like 20 kilograms or something. I don't know. It's like 45 pounds. Okay. I don't know the relation of those things and I am, I'm pretty empathetic, but I'm enough of an American to say I'm never even going to look it up. I'm just going to assume it's either a lot. 20 kilograms, that's like a thousand pounds. So Kim Jong-un lost a car.

And a bunch of people on the internet, there's like one article where it was like, Kim Jong-un loses 20 kilograms, he looks good. And then there was a thousand other articles which are, Kim Jong-un uses body double. And the real Kim Jong-un is in hiding using this body double to make their appearances. And so I started reading into

all of these conspiracy theories, obviously, because like world leaders, I too enter k-holes. Oh. Get really lost in the sauce. The theory is that Kim Jong-un is using body doubles, not in a Paul McCartney way, not in like a, he's actually secretly dead and this body double is like going out there.

The theory is that he was so self-conscious of his body that he found a slightly fitter, again, 45 pounds, 20 kilograms lighter version of himself. Only 45 pounds. And was like, you go out into the public so that I can look good, which is an insane thought, but also completely possible. Oh, absolutely.

Completely possible. Well, here's the thing. Do you think he's like, okay, this is my, this is my chance. I'm gonna push this, I'm gonna dave this bitch. And I'm gonna, wow, movie reference that if any of you get, I will be shocked. Anyway, you push out your body double, say, hey, you go make speeches for a year, and you're 45 pounds lighter than me. While you go do that, I'm hitting the gym,

I'm getting the broccoli white rice and chicken five meals a day, you know, getting fit so that like I can take you out of the game whenever I need to once I've trimmed up. Or do you think it's just like he's got bucket of KFC on a couch watching his body double do all this International me yeah, this fedora this fedora double button blazer fit though is kind of I'm starting to Yeah, kind of dripped out. He looks like he's on his way to a murder mystery party Fucking awesome. I'm telling you look up the bad guy for Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's the same. It's the German guy Well, they're girls that those are the bad guys by the way in Raiders. What? Oh My gosh, what is his name he's got the little tiny glasses. He's the ones that burns the

Ark of the Covenant. No, he burns the medallion gets his hand burned by the medallion Kim Jong-un summer fit. What okay? That's a rare fit summer fit. Yo Kim Jong-un's summer fit. What? Okay, that's a rare fit. Summer fit. Yo Kind of dripped out, bro It's gotta be Dennis Rodman. It's gotta be Dennis Rodman. It's gotta be Denny Rodman. Cuz like I feel like you have a friend who's always like dripped out. You're gonna take bigger risks yourself. Oh, yeah, and that's a good, he's like a good hat guy. Yeah, which is crazy because he was so uptight about the hair. You're pretty incredible about the hair I think he's doing it cuz he wants to hi. I think he wants a new haircut. He's too far in

Else no, he's gonna have a bunch of really cool hats. He's got a hair double. Oh My god, this podcast Are we recording right now? I'm so sorry look at that fucker. Yeah, oh that's literally him That's literally Maybe we'll put that photo movie recently because embargo and he was just like yeah His name is Toth in the in the bad and Raiders of the Lost Ark Yeah, I'm sorry that I went down at an unhole and I found So much out about this stuff.

The thing is, is that like it's completely ludicrous to have the idea that this guy would have a body double just to look 45 pounds lighter, right? And I remembered that like one of the facts that they used to teach in North Korean schools was that his father Kim Jong-il had the ability to talk to dolphins. And like that was a fact that they taught.

That's so specific. It is very specific. That it's plausibly true. OK, hold on a second. Hold on a second. I'm going to semantics this really quick. OK. We're all capable of talking to dolphins.

Yeah. Talking with dolphins is a totally different thing. Communicating with dolphins. Communicating with dolphins. We can all talk. Yeah, we can all talk to them. And you know what, they're great listeners because they don't say anything.

Anyway, I'm sorry that I learned too much about Kim Jong-un and it was prompted by the jacket that I bought. And now I truly do feel like if I was a dictator, that's the kind of shit I'd be on. I wouldn't do any of this killing shit. I wouldn't do any of this killing shit. I wouldn't do any of this like subjugation of my people. I wouldn't do any of this like torturing other people

and causing generations of generations to suffer. I'd just be like, hey, I copped a new jacket and none of you are allowed to have it. Fashion maven. Yeah. No, you would run just like a pristine, like beautiful country, but the only rule is that knowing to wear a Nike except for you. Yeah, that's the only rule hunger games every year But it's everyone hotter than everyone

It's I put you all in there and then I Don't even then I kill the winner You know what Mondo what that's gonna be a quick game All right, you're going in the hunger Yeah, yeah, I don't like your fucking attitude For being saying there's not that many people hot and then you come on I don't like your fucking kiss ass Bloody little chain and your fucking beautiful winning smile and your charming eyes. Oh, I want him dead

I want him fucking dead. Damn. Oh, man. Do you guys see beautiful corpse? Speaking of beautiful corpses, do you guys see they gave the duo lingo ala bbl? I did I did see that so Yeah, I watched the video and I started watching it and It immediately struck me because it's so ridiculous. Yeah, and so insane. I was like, oh, ha ha This is like somebody got a Duolingo Al costume and just made this like parody thing. It is from the official Duolingo account. Blue check on Instagram, so it matters.

And it was part of their Super Bowl campaign, which they are calling the superb owl campaign. So some real Buzzfeed circa 2011 ass humor coming from Duolingo socials right now They were about to tweet out who scored the touchdown in the sports game Sports ball. Yeah, they were gonna tweet that out But then they saw everyone shitting on people by the way I love that we live in this new era where like being like oh, I don't know anything about sports Something something sports ball where those people are getting dunked on by everyone. I love this turn around

Yes, a great a great a great switch around cuz I don't even I'll be honest I don't give a fuck about sports. My favorite sport is baseball. I fucking hate baseball You know what? I love standing outside getting burnt to a crisp drinking 17 beers for $400 and eating meat by a foot I thought you're gonna say hitting dingers, but that's good too. I'll hit some dingers too. That feels fun That feels fun. I don't care about sports because here's the other here by sports in the way that I'm like Just look at the score after yeah If you're gonna be doing your you know, you sports bed and watching it doesn't matter. Yeah I've seen uncut gems. Yeah, you just get an ulcer in your tummy

the the thing that I think the backlash to the you know the very cringy sports ball of it's like It was such a shortcut to a joke, which is the joke is feigned ignorance about something you have no interest in. It's like, shut the fuck up. You know what a sport is. You've been alive in America. You might not know like all the intricacies of the rules, but you know what it is. You don't know what it shut up down. So tiresome they gave they gave the duolingo out do doolingo owl. Hello a baby a BBL He she it's the owl and the owl well it has a cloaca. No, that's I guess that's true

The owl is The owl is fucking caked up. Hold up. They gave it a BBC. Yeah, a Brazilian Bcl I was fucking caked up hold up. They gave it a BBC. Yeah, a Brazilian BCL Yeah, I'm just gonna have to go because like oh either way we don't know Hey, not gonna this will go time. There's yeah, so sex that out. Yeah, someone's got a someone's got a seducing So one of these is sex that out if you are unfamiliar by the way Andrew and I are we're talking about a video that they put out Like we said for their campaign. On their official thing.

On their official thing, where Dr. Miami is giving this, the Duolingo Owl, a BBL. And I know what you're thinking, is it like an arts and crafts segment? No, they put the owl under. Under, they put them on the table face down. I don't know if you've ever seen a Dr. Miami video. They are violent, and I don't know

how they're allowed on social media. Yeah. It's a, we all joke about, like, we grew up at the time of, like, ISIS beheadings and, like, whatever online. Nothing is worse than the Dr. Miami video of him just, like, injecting fat into someone's ass. And it's just, like, you just see it.

It's just, like,, it's a needle. That's like the, the, it's like the, maybe like your thumb and it's just full of their own fat, I presume. And he's just fucking. Yeah. It's really jammed in there. It is. How do you say caulking gun?

Have you ever been the fucking caulking gun? Have you ever been the builder of our workshop? It is that, but for your ass, your own fat. He also puts a little heart in there And he does that to the fucking do a little yeah, it's his little phantom thread yeah thing Yeah, it's so upsetting to look at it show you the results like he he wraps it up He it's it it's a choice and then you well and you know it showed the Duolingo out at the end of the video like walking out completely. I mean clapping cheeks like.

Cheeks is. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking asset on dump truck. Ready to go. I mean, you're going to pick our mom ready to you know hit the clubs. But now because if you know anything about that operation, the Dua Lingo Al Nas to sleep face down for like eight months. It's like, because we put two Mike Wazowski's

on his back. Yeah. Again, I'm rewatching it right now. There's also like, he's got like the implant in his hand and it's just it's just it's What again as a person with a marketing degree I? Want to know how this came to be yeah cuz I've pitched dumb shit before yeah I've pitched insane shit before I've pitched it where I've been like I'm pitching this so that no one talks to me for another Meeting sure because here's the idea and they're gonna say no to it And then I want to disengage from the rest of this call. Correct.

That feels like what this was, but then someone said yes. I've been in marketing meetings where I have released chaff to intercept missiles. And so I just like fly away. So I can just disengage and then this feels like someone said no, let's do that. Yeah. Oh.

I remember outside of Rooster Teeth when I was writing, basically I was writing sketches for Jake from Jake from State Farm with State Farm. And I remember pitching them some stuff that was just like, yeah, so I got really obsessed with the idea that Jake from State Farm is called whenever you call him. And that's how it's like, I, so I got really obsessed with the idea that Jake from State Farm is called whenever you call him, and that's how, it's like, I know that it's fun

and supposed to represent this like, you know, they're always there. But I think it's kind of like a weird awful curse that this man must now deal with. He's a genie. Anyway, I pitched them an idea where basically Jake from State Farm is driving his own car and gets called and the car just fucking

teabones a family and kills them They're dead fucking gone. Yeah, and then the dad holding the body of his dead children Like a neighbor state farm is there and Jake is pulled back and forced to deal with the ramifications of his own thing. Yeah There was a 40-second pause and 40 seconds is a lot of seconds. When waiting to hear feedback on anything, that is an eternity. Also, I'm picturing you in a conference room with the phone just here. Yeah, yeah. The silence only ended.

I wish this was a joke. The silence only ended when I said, you guys still there? Brutal. We're still here, but you definitely lost us. only ended when I said, you guys still there? Oh, brutal. Oh, we're still here, but you definitely lost us. They did buy the idea. And I think that they replaced everything. I think it's like Ninja is in the back of the car or something. And they like and then somebody or no, that's what it is.

Now it's a guy driving and I think it it's Ninja or some other streamer person. Ninja or Ludwig or something. Yeah, somebody like that. And they go, like that. And then Jake appears in the backseat. And then they both go, ah, ah, ah, ah. That's what I pared it down to, eventually. But that's my point.

In all of these meetings, there is a Duolingo Al-BBL pitch. Yeah, that does not get chosen. No, it gets whittled down. OK, every pitch starts with Jake from St. Farm is an eldritch horror. Yeah. That has lived for generations. Yeah. And then it gets whittled down to fucking Ninja or Ludwig driving a car, which is I feel like Jake from St. Farm is an eldritch horror who's lived from ages

is how we got Ms. Whittle down into the modern Jake from State Farm. Yes, yes, he's on tablets and ancient scrolls. Yes, that was something that I fucking pitched. I'm not even kidding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like, yeah, they've come from. Egyptian etchings, like fucking like.

He's a trickster god. He's like fucking Loki. He's a Loki, he's a verse Loki. Yes. I'm not even. He's an I-Call. I'm gonna show you guys the fucking pitch. I can't wait to see it I would love to see I am now picturing a couple in bed

About to have sex clothes like looking frustrated Lee at the field app closing it went I think I have an idea like a good neighbor Appears in the bed with them like It's like, it's go time. We're going to lose an account. You're about to lose an account. We're for sure. No, no, no, no. No, he's friends with family.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He got big hands with that party. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're tight. Yeah, he's cool. He's chill. They love me. Oh, they love Manda.

I just slowly episode by episode make myself less employable, huh? Yep. That's what we do here, baby. I think it is so funny when companies do this because I'm going to let you in on a secret. This company included, whenever you see these wild statement pieces like the BBL put on the Duolingo owl or, I don't know, McDonald's spreading the Grimace Shake bullshit or like whenever you see these things, it's not the company like, okay, first of all,

in case you are unfamiliar, because I know that this is like super obvious to us working in the industry that we do, McDonald's does not make these decisions. Company A, whatever they are, will hire a marketing firm, and that marketing firm will usually write a couple of the advertisements and campaigns themselves, and then contract a couple of comedians, influencers, writers, et cetera.

Other companies, other companies. Other companies. Tinyer agencies, whatever. Yeah, sometimes even like, tiny agencies who then come to us, or sometimes that agency comes to like Rooster Teeth or other companies like us directly. And then we're making ideas that then get kicked up and get fed back to like McDonald's or somebody

who then goes, what the fuck? What did we spend money on? Because what happens is we get, okay, so this is fun for anyone to listen listen So here's the things I think on rfp They say we have a billion they say we have a billion dollars and russia she says we want some of that How can we get some of that and they say give us a funny thing? Give it to us now and we'll do it and it's like okay

So then meet us three fucking choco heads go in a meeting room We have a whiteboard we're fucking sitting there like I don't know what can we do what can we what if we gave the duo Lee would we gave grimace a fucking BBL? I don't know what about that Yeah, so then we fucking so then we have to go into fucking Google documents and be like uh So I think that we should give grimace a BBL and he should also have a special milkshake and people die when they drink it Do you like that and then the end then and that's us being like that was a very good idea And then we shake hands and we give it to our boss our boss takes it to some shady place

We will never see it. No, you will never see or hear from again And my one of my favorite things about this document is that there's a line that says how does this fit with the client's goals? And it's always like because they fucking asked because we're giving them exactly what they asked for So then they so then this thing that we've written that we're just like yeah, no, this is a good idea It's taken to I'm sorry a man who I'm sure is on a private jet Opening up his laptop for the first time in six weeks and then he looks at it and then he just goes like Caesar Up or down yeah, and then then that commercial gets made or not. Do you guys remember when?

And if this isn't interesting, I'm so sorry. I feel like this is what the podcast is for. It's talking about RT. Yeah, this is technically behind the scenes of R.T. What this thing started as years ago. Yeah, so do you guys remember when we wrote the RFP for the Twisted Metal show? Oh, yeah. And they went, what do you guys remember when we wrote the RFP for the twisted metal show? Oh, yeah, and they went what can you guys do?

And we said we're gonna get all the biggest streamers in the internet right now We're gonna get fucking Ludwig. We're gonna get ninja. We're gonna get all these people And we're gonna put them inside death machines and have them put them inside death machines and have them compete in a honest to God. Death match. Death match, what does it call out? Demolition Derby. Yeah, we pitched a demolition Derby.

No, it was our fucking pie in the sky idea. It's never going to happen. You gotta have shoot the moon on one of them. And they fucking picked it. And that is the one that made it up the ladder. And I remember the four of it because it was us three and drew yeah in a meeting going No fucking way cuz you always got it because the thing is like when you do these things you do the one that you know They're gonna say no to you because it's too big

Then you do the one that you know they're gonna say no to because it's too small And then the one you actually want to do is in the middle So that we were like they're gonna pick the the middle one. Because why the fuck would they put ninja in a goddamn demolition derby so you can do fucking? And then they were like, oh, that sounds really sick, actually. We're going to move this one up. And we were like, ooh.

Well? We're going to get in so much trouble for this. I don't remember. Yeah, maybe. I don't give a shit. I remember being in the meeting with the contact and be and and and being like We should not do this as a live stream. This should not be a live stream event. No Because there is a possibility that someone will die or be and they're mainly just figured in Maine

And there was a slight pause before they went But isn't that like a huge motivator to get Fucking Yeah, that'd be honestly If there was any doubt that every single artist content creator any doubt that every single artist, content creator, boots on the ground person in the world of entertainment is nothing more than grist for the mill for the most bloodless corporations on earth.

Let those fears dissipate for your mind. That is exactly what is going on. Can I tell you the only thing that would make this better is if the demolition derby is happening, fucking Ludwig is slamming his car into Bruce Green. There's blood everywhere. The camera pans upwards towards the box seats, inside there, hands held like this.

Tented. Jake from State Farm. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. That's right, this is a state farm pitch the entire time. It sucked on peacock like we've double pitched it.

Yeah, yeah, double dipping them to yeah. Yeah. Fucking Bruce Green holding fucking ninjas lifeless body in his hands like a good name. I'm just like, oh, shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. Anyway, I think we should give Artie a fucking big dick. Yeah. Yeah. No, let's do it. How are we improving Artie, our giant mascot, our giant upsetting mascot? mascot if we're given the and also there's no pleasing people Because people hate arty. Yeah, people really don't like arty

I mean, I know we give them that really cute name. I love the name. I love the name made me like them the My favorite thing is like people are mad at arty and then we made a video where arty fights the bat squats to the death of the knife and people didn't like that either So I don't know what you want from us. I'm just gonna give Artie a big dick. I Think that's how do we compete with surgery? Yeah, how can we get the we can't compete with oh, I guess you can't get well Who can we give him that can we give him the no we're giving the bat squash sits? Can we give him that that that leg lengthening surgery? Oh, yeah, where they break your I know that you're six seven so you've never looked into this But there's like a leg lengthening surgery. I've never seen that. No, yeah, they break your shins

They put a metal bar in it gives you three or four inches max and then you walk like fucking Hank Hill's dad for the rest of your life That's not enough inches. No, just that it also, okay, so I mean it costs not only that it costs like $200,000 because it is the most elective surgery you can have Yes, it's one of the most painful things you can do because they literally break your shins Like put a spacer in it and let the bone grow. Yeah, you also have to Spacer in it and let the bone grow. Yeah, you also have to Like it's so expensive. It's like $200,000 and on top of that you have to literally rent an apartment or a

Space to live Like a block from the hospital because you could clot at any sec. You have to live So It's insane it's insane for four inches. But here's the thing. I'm so sorry about this. If it was less painful, I might do it. I'm so sorry about this. I'm so sorry about this.

In the words of many people I've spoken to, that's not enough money for three inches. Shut up. I hate you so much. I hate you so much. I hate you so much. I wish I was fucking dead. There's butt-boos coming from on stage. Or a tugboat just pulled in here, I can't tell. Do you really think that you would do it just to get-

If it didn't hurt so bad, absolutely. If it didn't hurt so bad and didn't cost 200 grand. Yeah, if it was as accessible as a BBL, I would absolutely do it. If it was as accessible as like that when dude's gonna turkey to get a hair transplant I would absolutely do it The fucking hair transplants are insane. I think we should give already a different hairstyle Here we go. I think we give him a fucking I I think we give my Kim John. I think we give my Kim John in leather jacket. Oh We could already been already midlife crisis leather jacket

Can I tell you something that really made me very upset is Recently I was talking with the social team about how they wanted to they wanted to do a thing for The Super Bowl with Artie and they were like yeah, we were looking at what do you call them jerseys? Yeah, but we realized that like it was really hard to find a jersey in like 5xl Yeah, and I was like, 5XL? Like for Artie? Artie wears a 5XL. And they went, yeah, we can get a 5XL and put it on him.

And I realized that Artie wears like one to two sizes up from me. Me and Artie could share clothing. The wardrobe. You guys dated. I want to fucking die. Here's my favorite thing is that if we wanted to give Artie the leg lengthening Surgery, it's it's very easy. We put a different person We've taken the this one's for daddy episode

I'm taking that we've taken that you just too far. We took it too far. This is daddy's midlife crisis Daddy's other jacket. This is daddy's midlife crisis. This is daddy's other jacket. This is daddy. This is daddy who lost his job three months ago, hasn't told his family and goes and sits in drinks in the McDonald's parking lot. He's supposed to be at work. Oh my fucking god. Well, you know what? Let's do the only thing that we were actually supposed to do on this episode. What is that? I know that the news is terrifying. I know it's awful out there.
