Michelle, thank you so much for bringing Chupi. No problem. I heard that this is Chupi's first public appearance. It is. Wow. Oh, this is very exciting. How did we afford it? This is what I'm saying.

We have to launch new influencers. We had to give up an arm and a leg for this. I I'm saying. We have to launch new influencers. Who had to give up an arm and a leg for this? I like how you say we have to launch. Chupi has more Instagram followers. Yeah, I've got more time to say than Gus. I'm going to go follow Chupi on Instagram. I'm like, Chupi's got more followers than me. Yeah.

So I think Chupi's doing us a favor. Yeah, no kidding. I'm really sorry. Chupi doesn't give him now. Yes, at Chupi doesn't give him now on Instagram and on TikTok. Chupi is a TikTok star. Oh my gosh. Yeah, Chup chupie doesn't give me out on Instagram and on tiktok chupie is a tiktok star Yeah, chupie is apparently the most even killed cat I've ever met

He's so chill. I didn't realize that this many people worked in this stage at 5 p.m. On a Monday until Everyone found out chupie was there was a line of people yep through the broadcast area. I wanted to go Pet chupie and take a picture. Michelle, tell us a little bit about Chupi. What is Chupi? What is Chupi? Chupi is a Chupacabra. Yeah.

He's also a lycoicat. So some people call them werewolf cats, but it's basically a genetic mutation that happened in feral cat colonies a long time ago and has been proven to be a thing as of like the last 11 years. Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know that.

I have a single question for you. Yeah. What happens to Chupi when there's a full moon? You don't want to. Oh, my God. No, I have to. We have to put all the bread in your cabinets. We'll be gone.

Oh. All the bread at H.E.B. will also be gone. Speaking of me. Here's the thing. He looks so mad, but he's so sweet. He's so sweet. Why is he so mad at you? Oh, he closes his eyes.

He said no pictures, please. So here's the thing about Chupi. And we don't have to give him a ton of tortillas. I know it's not great, but I know that Chupi loves bread. This is a thing with Chupi. Hey, Barbara, right after you get that picture, can you pass the tortillas over to Michelle there? And we wanna see, look, it doesn't have to go crazy,

but look how automatic, look at how automatic, look it, you need to follow at Chupi doesn't give me out. Oh, it's so local too, I don't know if I might pick that up. Nuts, those nuts for bread. This is so. All bread or just tortilla. All of it. Oh, you have more types of bread.

Okay. These are bolillos. We need your cat or very famous. That's better than saying carbs, because I can get some pasta in here. Oh, yeah. Oh, what's in sugar in here? Tortillas and bolillos are like a Mexican bread

or would like really zone in to like Central American. I feel like I mean, there's this old Barney song. Like Barney and Presta's like yum yum, Puppa and Nickel, Puppa and Nickel bread. Hey, I feel like Tupi was really loved. Tupi song. Look at him. Look at him.

You want it? Oh, he's fighting. He's fighting. He's fighting. Oh, he's in it. Oh my God. That's the way. Straight up, where those are yours, enjoy.

That could be for you and Tupi. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah and you. Yeah, I love how he reaches out like he sees something you want. Yeah, he's like, when you say a cat pounds, it's like it jumps up. No, he's like reaching like I'm going to grab that and pull it. I'm like, you know, I've never related more to a cat than I do right now. What I'm saying, I love carbs. Yep. Has, you know, some interesting hair. Yeah.

You know. It's really cool. And the thing I like most about you, the chupies and adventure cat, what is it, how do you have an adventure cat? So when I first got chupie, I got one of those kangaroo hoodies and you can like put your cat inside

and take them to the bar. And it was the middle of the pandemic, and I'm like, what am I doing in public to begin with? And then I was like, why not bring my cat? And so I put them in my pocket, and I just took them everywhere, and he accepted everything. And as long as there was food, he was good.

I can definitely tell. Just like me. You brought him here, I was worried about how a cat would respond with all the lights and the people going on. And he was just like, so you see me just sitting there. He's like, just so chill or people. And everyone was petting him and he was, and he gave like a nice little nibble on.

He tried to bite me. That means he loves you. Yeah. A love, no. Turn you into a werewolf. That's fine. Yeah. Again, I made fried chicken before I got here.

He smelled the breaded chicken. Going crazy. How old is he? Uh, Juby's too. He's too. Yeah. You had him since he was eight weeks. Yeah. is he? Juby's two. He's two. You had him since he was eight weeks? Yeah.

Oh, wow. Such a baby. So, and he lives with a dog? Is there a dog also? So I have two chihuaholas. Oh. And I did research because I had the chihuahua's first. I wanted to make sure I got a cat that could be cool

with my chihuahua. Oh, I bet. And he, I researched that Lai Koi cats were like very monkey like, and I got one, and it worked out. Oh, it's so cool. And I researched that Lai Koi cats were very monkey-like. And I got one and it worked out. Oh, it's so cool. And you guys go, I mean, the reason I follow Chupi is Chupi's and I always hope to find Chupi

at every bar I go to. You guys are at Meanwhile, you guys are at Nickel City. You guys are all over the place all the time. What's that? Like, you take a cat to a bar and everyone's just like, Yeah, to see get recognized. What? Yeah, so it's only recently that people started

recognizing Chubi when we go out. People be like, oh my God, is that Chubi? It's so cool. It's so cool. I feel like she wants my cat. But when I go out, it's really exciting for me because I get to see people with pure joy on their faces. Every time they see him, they're like, oh, I can't believe there's a cat in public.

And it just makes me want to keep doing it, just because I get to feed off of that too. Of course. How hard was it to get Chupy used to being out? And he said, oh, it's a pandemic. And as long as their food was it pretty quick or was it like, oh, we got to struggle through this a little bit?

I think Chupy was born a star. Yeah. I get that energy.i was born a star. Yeah. I get that energy. He was born to be on camera and in the limelight and he loves when people come to say hi. And it's his thing, so I just let him do his thing. I couldn't believe it, like, so even tempered. When I walked you in from outside,

it was like, oh, you're just carrying this cat and the cat's just like looking around, hanging out, like, so chill. Yeah. New territory for me to claim. Oh, my goodness. Like, it's so chill. Yeah. New territory for me to play. Oh, I'm like, yeah, it's a shame. Yeah, it's a shame. Is there bread here? Yeah, exactly what Chupy was looking for.

So it's a light-coy cat's, L-Y-K-O-I. Yeah. I saw some people in chat where I was. Yeah, I've never seen this type of cat. Like, I've seen the hairless cat. Yeah. Thanks to Eric. Oh, hi.

I've seen all the kinds of cat. I've never seen a cat that looks like this. He's so interesting looking. And I'm so cute at the same time. Heading him is so, I've never seen a cat that looks like this. He's so interesting looking. He's so cute at the same time. He's so, I've never experienced this with a cat before because like I said, I've pet hairless cats before. Can you expect like, you know, skin on those normally when you pet like a typical, like domestic short hair, you feel firm or this is like a mixture of both.

It's like a hybrid where it's like, you might be petting some fur and they're like, oh, there's some skin. You have to bathe you have to bathe to be or to be does a lot of self bathing he had a bat last night so he might smell like vanilla. Oh yeah. I think you're like swing scat or else they'll get oily and like get gross. I heard today I don't know if this is true but when you have a hairless cat you oil them. Yeah there's there's a there's finks cats that I follow that live in South Korea. You have to rub oil

on those cats that have no sphinx cats with no hair. And so you mentioned that you put some oil on them. Well, I haven't had to lube him up yet. But he's doing pretty good without it. So when he does need the lube, I will give it to him. But for now, he's just being his regular cat. This is so great. The thing that's weird to me is like, watching, you know, his videos and looking at his photos online, looking at his face even now,

he's like, he seems like so mad and like he would be mean. It's the resting bitch face. Yeah, big RbF. He's so nice and friendly, and just like super chill. I've been nervous about today. Oh yeah.

I had butterflies in my stomach all day going, guys, Chupi's coming. Yeah, guys, Chupi's going. I got texts from my mom, and she's going, I heard that Chupi's coming on the podcast. And I went, yeah, I was trying to keep it a secret and then sent you a point of message, and she went, no. Chupi's a star.

I was like, I was like, I'm not sure mom didn't fly in. Yeah, it's just, oh my god, she was so excited that Chupi was gonna be here. This is like, look, Austin is all red. It like, you know, keep Austin weird, whatever. This is to me is like, this is like such an Austin. I know there's other cities and you got other cats and people are like, I live in Des Moines and we have an adventure cat.

I don't care. Good for you. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We got a podcast, so we got Chupi, who's an adventure cat in Austin. And likes for Tias and but it should be bread. I did a video that was like, let's do like which like bread versus bread on like what Chupie likes most.

And Chupie loves HGV tortillas. Chupie loves bullios. What is that butter tortillas? We had those the other day and we did not like them. What? Really? Butter tortillas? That's what we those are. Are they butter tortillas?

Yeah, and chupi, like crazy. Chupi approves. Yeah, see. Oh, why he does. He's looking in the bag non-stop. Yeah, there are people in the bag saying he was looking around. He's looking for a book. He's going back to know my name because he's just staring at the book.

You had it all on lock. We have our social media person here who's shooting some stuff. And we're like, oh, we got to take a picture with Chupi and like Chupi wouldn't look. And then you're like, oh, we gotta like take a picture of Chupi and like Chupi wouldn't look and then you're like, oh, here wave these treats and it was immediately like locked in. You locked in and like, approach. He did a Titanic stuff over too. I am the king of this world and I'm just starting like grabbing like,

give me that. Like, what are we doing? Oh, man. It's cool. It's not like games with two. Motivated by very much. Yeah, we had a, even Dante, our IT guy, who was like, I've been following Chupi for like a year on Instagram.

It's Chupi here, I gotta meet Chupi. What kind of content do you make with Chupi? Like, so I make a mix of Chupi stealing things from me because he's really professional at it. And then I also like to make videos of Chupi doing things that like cats wouldn't regularly do, starting with cats that go in public. And then I've made videos of him like playing basketball

for bread, being a witch and making a potion for bread, a fishing for bread. Oh, he's like a little sailor. He's so great. He'll put up with anything as long as there's bread in the end. So it's kind of fun. It's just to make people happy. It's great.

Oh, I love it. I love like genuinely love Chupy. This is so cool. Again, a chupy doesn't give him. Yeah, I just put his handle in Twitter. I'll make sure you're we have a link in the description too. So everyone can follow chupy and what's going on. I can't put more followers than Gus. Make chupy more famous. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. Let's amplify we were there on the ground floor I'm gonna forget us when you're even bigger. Yeah, really is there anything you want to plug other than your social Anything that's coming up for Chupie. Um, Chupie has a couple public appearances coming. Oh my god One is for Austin pets alive. They're gonna happen to have been where it's like a fashion show and it's there's gonna be drag We ends is gonna be a fan. Yeah And he's gonna be one of the famous faces

that helps him raise money. Oh, that's so cool. On October 26th, he's gonna be at meanwhile brewing as a judge for the Wehrwolf Contest. Oh, and he has a very, very, very, very judgmental face. So, perfect. And he has the blood of a Wehrwolf,

who else is better to judge? I know. Definitely truly. Nobody can beat him. No, no, no. This is gonna be so cool. They love you at meanwhile. I feel like you're there a lot. I feel like Definitely truly. Nobody can beat him. No, no. This is going to be so cool. They love you. Meanwhile, I feel like you're there a lot.

I feel like that's a good spot for Chupi. And then Chupi has raised thousands of dollars for other cats just through his social media. Oh, so cats with health issues that need extra financial support. We've been raising money for them. And he's saved two cats and gotten cats medication and stuff.

So he's doing good things with his bad attitude. Oh, that's so good. I mean, I mean like Chupi when I grow up. Yeah. I love that. That's actually a life goal. Blend you on a pet Chupi? I wanted to come in and make sure that Chupi hadn't like, noped everyone, you know?

Oh, yeah. You were like gone, gone crazy. No. Good to see you Chupi. No, we did Chupi bread and Chupi's good now. Yeah. Although Chupi has in mad dog in you theupie bread and Chupie's good now. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Although Chupie has in Mad Dog and you, the second you walked in. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, love that cat. Wow. We will just He deserves a whole tortilla. Look at it. It's so cool. Love that cat. Wow. We will just send the podcast. Right. What's the point? We're genuinely so excited about that. At this point. Kai, do you have cats?

I have nothing. You have no pets. I live by my loansome. I am sad every day. Oh my god. No partner, no cats. No, I'm a bitch. Hey, Kai, you're living a dream.

Everything you do is for you, baby. All the time, all your time is you. Yeah, and all the time, go to the video games at night. So I mean, no responsibilities, no mouths to feed. Living a dream, baby. I had, when I asked Kai if she wanted to be on the day, like I asked her, she's like, yeah, yeah, sure, no problem. And like a couple hours later, I was like,

oh shit, I didn't tell her it was gonna be a cat there. Like, I was like, you're not allergic to cats or anything. It's okay, right? yeah, sure no problem. And like a couple hours later, I was like, oh shit, I didn't tell her it was gonna be a cat there. Like I was like, you're not allergic to cats or anything. It's okay, right? Technically yes I am. Oh. But I think Tupi, Tupi was very hairless enough. Oh, okay. I was just good enough.

My wife's allergic to cats, but I feel like if we had a Tupi cat. I think it'd be okay. Yeah. I think it'd be good. Yeah. Does Tupi shed a lot? I know we just, right? No.

I'll know. I have more questions I heard that you can give animals like food that like makes them not Shed. Yeah, there's like for like hypoallergenic That's a surprise because humans are very again again, I hear a thing I know about. There's things you can do to make your hair stronger, so it doesn't shed as much, so that doesn't surprise me for the same as fur for cats. Because it's mostly dander, isn't it?

Yeah. I think people are allergic to. But I thought it was also the saliva that some people are allergic to. I think that's what dander is. I think dander was skin flakes. I think it's skin flakes mixed with spit. Oh, I think that's what Dander is. I think Dander likes skin flakes. I think it's skin flakes mixed with spit. Oh, I think that's what it is.

Yeah, because I like sometimes when an animal will like lick me usually a dog, I'll get like a scratchy throat immediately. But then it'll last for like maybe 10 minutes and then it'll go away completely. So I don't know if it's just the licking that makes me feel like allergic because I've never been allergic around

just an animal in the room. Yeah, it's only when it makes contact with my skin. I haven't really been allergic to animals. I've always had cats and dogs and all that stuff, but my wife's allergic to cats, and it is like the bane of her existence. Is she like cats? She wants a cat so bad.

It's like so bad. I'm gonna take some flow days every day, should we? Dude, I know. I don't know. No, like, why would you, no, like if you are that, like if you're so allergic. Listen, like most people are allergic to living in Austin and we still put up with that.

Yeah, we still live here. Yeah, I take flow nays every day just to stay ahead of it. I mean, that's the same thing as most people are lactose intolerant. Absolutely, ice cream, my still drink mill. It's true. Hatsa, exactly. Cheese, you're telling me to stop eating all those. Can't cream, my still drink milk. It's true. It's true. Exactly. Cheese. You're filming to stop eating all those

ice cream. No, sir. Michael said he's evolving beyond lactose intolerance. I'm not really clear on what that means, but he's really sure of it. If it's anyone would be Michael. Yeah, right. That's how I can eat. He just eats so much lactose that his body is just like, fuck it. Yeah, he's like, why? It's that. It's like, I'm going to wait. It's a war of attrition

and he will not lose. Well, I know that John used to be gluten intolerant and it just eventually went away. Oh yeah. Do you remember that? He used to take medication for it and then I don't know if like, is he Spider-Man?

I don't know what happened. That has to be it. Like, he got bit by the spider. The gluten spider. Yeah. Here's the thing that my stoner roommate in college told me, yeah, every seven years, know what happened. That has to be it. Like he got bit by the spider. The gluten spite. Yeah. Here's the thing that my stoner roommate in college told me every seven years, all of your cells are regenerated. So it's like you're a new person. Yeah. That's actually true. In terms of your taste buds too. So every seven years,

you try something again. See if you like, I should hate cheese growing up. Now I love a good cheese. See? My stoner roommate Ian was right. Maybe you'll like you cover someday, Gus. No, oh, we thought that. That's how we're doing today. We didn't end my episode today and we talked about like on the drive back we talked about cucumbers. Yeah, yeah, disgusting. Isn't just cucumbers and cucumbers and pickles.

I like pickles. You're really like that. That's backwards. Because it's a vinegar or whatever the pizza is. No, I don't know. It makes it juicy. The cucumbers just dry. I like all foods.

All of those sandwiches. All of them. There's nothing dry. I like all foods. All of those sandwiches. All of them. There's nothing you don't like, Barbara. One of the things I, it's not that I don't like it, but I would prefer not to eat it as blue cheese. And that's pretty much it. I don't prefer blue cheese.

Blue cheese is the only thing where I'm like, no, blue cheese on that. But if it's on there, I'll still have it. Wait. I would love to get just like a giant bowl of blue cheese with a spoon and just fucking up. Oh, me too. Go ahead, Sam.

You know, like when you get something with blue cheese and they're like there's a lot on it You go there's no there's not No, we're talking about it but I'm starting water it Yeah, I love it I love it Especially like on a wedge salad a blue cheese dressing Just like fucking you dip that whole thing in it Oh yeah

My problem with like a blue cheese burger is that it's like not enough Yeah It's like they're like oh here's blue cheese like like triple it and then double that Stuff it with blue cheeseburger is that it's like not enough. They're like, oh, here's blue cheese, like triple it and then double that. Stuff it with blue cheese, then put it on top and then smother it all. Yeah. Oh, cook it into the bun.

Let's fucking go. I don't know, there's really not a lot of foods I just don't really. I'm pickles. I'm the exact opposite. If you list foods, I'm sure 50% of them I'll be like, ew. Really? Yes.

So picky. Yes, very, really. I'm actually getting better. Yes, very. Really. I'm actually getting better. What's your favorite meal? Favorite meal, then. It depends on my mood. It's between three.

Okay. I like a good steak. Excellent. I love Italian food. So spaghetti, pasta, all that stuff. And I love seafood. But that's also on East Coast. Even my grandmother owned the seafood restaurant.

Oh, that's really cool. That's interesting, because usually seafood is where a lot of people get picky. Yeah. Are you talking like fish, shellfish, every, everything from the ocean? Crawfish, I know all the different types of crabs. Dungeons, crab, blue claw crabs, no crab, I know all the different

other recipes I've got. I'm gonna say your name on the crab. This is the crab cast. But no, like shrimp. Wow. I think the only thing seafood wise, I don't like is oysters. And I just, and but recently I had oyster

that was okay and I ate it and it was good. It's just, I think it's too slimy. Which is weird, because I like muscles. Yeah, the problem I have with oysters, like I'm not an oyster fan. Yeah. Mussels aren't really slimy though. They're more chewy.

Mm-hmm. Where's oysters are slimy? My wife's always getting one meat to try oysters. Like she's trying one, trying one. I'm like, yeah, but I see when you eat it, sometimes you're like, oh, that was a sandy one. That's how they do it. I'm like, I don't want to.

I'm like, I don't want to. I don't want to run the risk of like, all right, I'm gonna try, and then it's like a shitty one. Yeah. I was like, no, I don't want to eat a food court. It's like, yeah, 70% of the time, it's good. 30% of the time, it's really bad. I'm fine.

I love oysters. I don't get it. How do you prefer your oysters? Because I recently learned that I can handle them if they're covered in a freak ton of dressling. So it all depends. Sometimes I like just a little bit of lemon juice on them. But I really like, there's like a, I've got the horse radish.

It's really good on it. There's also like the tomato based sauce. Cocktail sauce, I think it is horse radish. It's really good on it. There's also the tomato based sauce. Cocktail sauce, I think it is. Yes, it's cocktail. And my favorite one is the vinegary one with a little pieces of onion in it. I've seen that. So, honestly, that's one of my favorite parts

about eating horse. I was in Dallas with Santiago who works in Rufu Chief. And we went on a trip there. We went to this really nice fancy restaurant. He likes oysters. He was just like, just try and like, make one the way you make it.

Cause I was like, I had first time I always said it was nasty. So let me see how you like an act and judge you for how you like that. I like that. That's good. And cause I think we had like chili paste. We had, we didn't even use the hot sauce

cause oyster's always come a hot sauce, but the chili paste was spicy enough that we didn't need it. He did that. he did the lemon. There was something else. I think it was the onion based something you were talking about in the world. It's like a red wine. Exactly.

Yeah, exactly. And the first one I did, I was like, okay, it's nice. So I had a second one. The second one I ate the oyster backwards to all the dressing went down. The oyster didn't make it. I was like, why didn't it come out? I drank the sauce.

Oh, this oyster's delicious. Oh, man. And he's just like, why didn't they come out and throw this? Oh, this oyster's delicious. Oh, man. And he's just like, you still want it? I'm like, I'm no bitch. So I'm like, I started this, I'm finishing it. I ate the oyster by itself about dressing. I said, yeah, I'm just saying a move. No, no, like it.

So you always gotta make sure it's detached from that little piece that it's attached to from the shell. You're not, nope. I can't do it. It's the slimyness. It's like, it's so like that little piece that it's attached to from the shell. You're not, nope. It can't do it. It's the slimy-ness. It's like, it's so like, almost like mucous-y that it's just not my speed for like a food.

I don't like it. It also depends on the type of voice you get. I prefer East Coast oysters. They're a little smaller. Correct answer. East Coast hot best coast. East Coast best coast for oysters, especially. Maybe not other things.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I'm saying. West Coast is also a great coast. With me, in general, I'm not talking just about oysters. In general, I'm not a big fan of putting sauces on food. Like, I don't eat ketchup with my french fries. So with oysters, I feel like it's something

where you're definitely prioritizing the sauce and the topping in addition to it. So it's like, it's already like two steps removed from something I would really. You don't look when you're having like a breakfast talk or something you don't do any you don't do sauce. No, I mean, sometimes maybe I'll put salsa on, but no, typically, you know, salsa.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with add sauce. Well, not breakfast tacos, but tacos. It's just doing pico de gallo. Cause that's not even sauce, but you add stews to it. I think that lots of times I feel like the food needs to stand on its own. I feel like it's a crutch if you're putting it. That's true.

What about barbecue? Extra sauce. No, I actually prefer barbecue with no sauce. I agree. I think sauce is a crutch for bad barbecue. I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that.

I agree with that. I agree with that. But there are some foods that the sauce is part of the food experience. For oysters, for example. You could have them plain, but there's really no taste to them. And so it's kind of like the sauce is part of the oyster experience.

This actually reminds me of the episode of the anime Food Wars, where literally it's a competition and he serves a rice bowl by itself. And they're like, it's good, but it's mid. He's like, wait, you didn't try the soup next to the rice. And then you try to soup and like the soup's good. But all right, he's like, wait, you didn't try the soup next to the rice. And then you try to soup and like the soup's good. But all right, he's like, now combine the two.

It's when you have this, it's one meal. And it's all the pieces come together. Like each piece is good on its own. But then when you combine them together, it's the same thing with barbecue. So like the meat should be good, the barbecue sauce should be good. And I should be able to have them together.

It's like a scene in retutoe, where he eats the cheese and the grape at the same time, and it's like music in his head. Because it's like, I think about all the color combinations, all the different things, like food, taste, salt, saver, favorite flavor, that, Oh, Remi Nuiti was talking about me. You guys always have me talking about food on this podcast.

You're so funny. Food and movies are a whole new time. Years ago, I went down to Kreizis, which is a barbecue place in Lockhart, and they do not have sauce there. It's just a barbecue. And I remember I was sitting there eating my barbecue kind of close to the counter,

and this customer has his food, I see him at another table. He stands up, walks over to the counter, and there's an employee there, and she's wiping down the counter, and looking down, then he walks up to her, and he's like, excuse me, do you have a new barbecue sauce? And she doesn't look up, she's still wiping down the counter and she's like, why does

the food need it? He was, yeah, I think it could use a little bit of barbecue sauce. And she like stops wiping, slams her hand down on the counter, looks at him and goes, well, then maybe you shouldn't be eating here. That's awesome. And he looks back down and keeps wiping the counter. That's so cool. I love that for her.

But also, yeah. That's cool. That's awesome. More of that, more of that. I love that for her. But also, yeah. That's cool, so. That's awesome. More of that, more of that. I really love that energy. Yeah, hell yeah. I'm trying to be like that when I grow up too. Two day in her.

Two days in a week. I hate spaghetti. You hate spaghetti? I like every other pasta. What does that spaghetti say? You say you hate spaghetti. You hate spaghetti like the type of noodles? Yep.

It's not good. I think it's pathetic. I think it's a pathetic pasta. Do you like angel hair of noodles. Yep, it's not good. I think it's pathetic. I think it's a pathetic pasta. Do you like angel hair? Yep. But not spaghetti. I think angel hair does a better job of holding a sauce. But would you eat angel hair with like a red meat sauce

like you would spaghetti? I'm not saying that. I'm saying that it's a superior pasta. I think in general long tubes of pasta, like not even a tube, long, would you go stick. It's not good. It doesn't hold sauce well. It does not hold sauce well. I think spaghetti general long tubes of pasta like not even a tube along what do you go stick it's not good it doesn't hold sauce well does not hold sauce well I think spaghetti is a vial meat I think angel hair suffers from the same problem that I think but I think that I think the way that you you can clump it and it batches together a little bit better especially with a thicker sauce can

really do a lot of damage on a lot of food it's very good well then alternative question uh-huh best kind of pasta I think that you could go with, like, I really like a nookie, I like a bowtie, I think that there's, I think pretty much anything else, a penne. Rebioli. Yeah, I think anything else is a superior. I'm surprised you put nookie. The nookie's a first pasta, you said?

I was just, it was the first one that popped a mind. I think Fucilli and penne are like, yeah, S tier, those are the best. Oh, yeah, Spaghetti is a vial meal. I think it's a pathetic pasta and I think that if you're eating it, I think that you need to make some decisions and change some things. I think you need to upgrade to a bow tie and grow up. Something that can hold sauce.

That's what I'm saying. Maybe it's not that the spaghetti can hold sauce. You don't know how to handle the spaghetti. Oh no, no. Oh, I handle. Oh, I handle the spaghetti. Yeah, spaghetti is a vial meal and it is pathetic truly. You said the word vial.

Yes, well, all right. I'm here spaghetti. I feel like spaghetti is a villain in the story. It is, it's really villainous. I, here's the thing. Mm-hmm. I don't trust Eric's food. Oh, that's fine.

Most people are on it's okay. Yeah, it's not a big deal are on it. It's okay. Yeah, it's a really good one. I think this all started with the lasagna debate, which we will not bring up. That's also a superior pasta, but that's unfortunately a whole dish. Yeah, that's all right. That's all right. Ah, the lasagna noodle.

I have the one. That's all it's sauce. But that is what the noodles are. That is what the noodles are. That is what the noodles are. That is what the noodles are. That is what the noodles are. That is what the noodles are called, though, right?

Yes. It's a lasagna noodle, but it's also the name of the, yeah, the tomato cake. But that's spaghetti is the same thing. It's a spaghetti noodle, right? So it is a spaghetti. Oh, no, it's a spaghetti. The plural is, or spaghetti is the diminutive of spaghetti.

Ah, that doesn't, that doesn't, that's spaghetti. That's fake. No, it's made of, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's what you just called out of Campbell's label. That's, that's, that's fake. No, it's it's a it's a spaghetti a spaghetti What you just called out of Campbell's label that It's not a real thing otherwise the spaghetti Oh, I was just that's red spaghettios and he's like that must be a singular first It's like the same people who say Legos instead of Lego, which is already

Spaghetti is the singular form of spaghetti Single line a single line of spaghetti. A single spaghetti is a spaghetti. Okay, then a spaghetti is a vial meal. There you go. So you wouldn't say I dropped a spaghetti noodle. Oh, I dropped a spaghetti. Oh, no, my spaghetti.

Spaghetti about it. There's so many jokes that now opens up. Yeah, it's really good. I know. Kind of all into spaghetti. That's pretty exciting. Well, no, it's just one sp... You can't say spaghetti. Oh, no, it's really good. I know. Kind of all into Spaghetti. That's pretty exciting. Well, no, it's just one spig-

You can't say Spaghetti. Oh, no, it's Spaghetti. No, no, no, no, I'm a Spaghetti. That's like saying mines. It's like saying mooses. Oh, a moose is guy. Meese. Meese, too.

Meese, too. I hate the English language. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. It's so dumb. Italian, though, isn't it? Spaghetti? Oh. Moose, me meat. Yeah.

I want to see that. Nicholas is back there. Fumid's fatalio. I hate our use of any other language. Fucking Spaghetti. Get out of here. I remember years ago. I know it. We had an argument about the word Lego on the podcast,

because someone kept saying Legos. And I was like, but Lego is the plural of Lego. Like I have a pile of Lego in front of me. And someone disagreed with me and they said it's Legos. I heard that one Skittle is called a Skittle's Lental. Stop it. It's not true. Is it?

Look it up! You got the computer? Kai's not gonna do it. The computer, right. I could. It's true. I'm not saying you can't. I could, but I just don't care enough. I know, like Skittle, but get it.

A single skittles is called a skittles. A skittles? I coined the skittles. So, it's like, oh, I dropped A skittles. There is one skittles. Oh, no, it's next to my spaghetti. So, it's not even a skittles. My skittles.

A single. Hey. They tweeted's next to my Spaghetti. So it's not even skill. My Skittles. A single. Hey. They tweeted it February 1st, 2020. A single skittles is called a Skittles per our trademark lawyers. I hate that. Wow. I hate it so much.

I'm never having a Skittles. Yeah. Never eating a single Skittles. As long as you always have two at once. So you never have to call the single one. Good call. A Skittles. They should call it a Skittles. Like a Skittles. Yeah, like single one. Good call. A skittles. They should call it a skitto.

A good, a skitto. Yeah, like a, like a spaghetto. Call it a skitto. No, that's not a poth. That's not a poth. That's not a poth. That's not a poth. That's not a poth.

That's not a poth. Oh, mama mia. Awful. I don't like these discoveries we make on the podcast. They disturbed me. Had a tooth fall out while eating red hots. You know, it's like a red hots. How you know what that is?

It's like a cinnamon. Yeah. I like cinnamon. It's like cinnamon wax that you could chew on. Yeah, okay, let me see. Let me see what this looks like. You had a tooth come out. It's a crown.

It was a crown on a root canal that I had. Apparently they go. Did not put it on very well. No, they did. What happened is the tooth that it was connected to, disconnected. So it just came off. Wait.

So the entire tooth? Or just? Yes. So the tooth to the gum totally came off. So I brought it to the dentist because it happened on a Friday right before, was it Labor Day? Yeah, having on that Friday at like 515. Did you say you? What did you bring me this? No, I called and all I could do was laugh. I just went it's 515 on Labor Day weekend on a Friday

Don't imagine you guys are closed for about three days. Um, tooth came out Kind of puzzled about what to do. Yeah, so made an appointment and I went in Yeah, because they don't have like emergency dentist offices, like they do on like emergency night care. I can't take care of this exactly. Yeah, so, the main appointment, I brought the tooth in and I went, look, you're going to look at it. You're going to look at my mouth and you're going to go,

nothing we can do, you got to go see an oral surgeon. And I know that's what's going to happen. So, let's see what happens. And she said, okay, and she looked at my mouth, and she looked at the tooth and she said, yeah, the cement held really well. See that white part in the middle? what's gonna happen. So let's see what happens. And she said, okay, and she looked at my mouth, she looked at the tooth, and she said, yeah, the cement held really well. See that white part in the middle? That's your tooth.

Look to my mouth. Yeah, so there's nothing we can do. You know, we can extract the tooth, but if you want to get an implant or a denture, like you get like the one tooth denture, would that you have like take out? Yeah, yeah. What's the fucking point?

So you're a molar. Rufas, can I rewind here? Yeah. So the whole tooth didn't come out? So the tooth to the gum is the part that came out. Not the part that was rufas. There was still a root. So when I cracked off?

Yes, when I got this root canal, half of the tooth had come off. Oh yeah, yeah. And so they root canaled it and then drilled it down. And they're like, well, half the tooth is still there so we can cap and crown it and see if that'll hold. And you should be good to go, but if it comes off, you know, whatever. So, okay. I'll be honest, I might be too young for this conversation. You're saying a lot of words that my grandma uses like crown. Don't. Don't worry, you'll get there. I'm sure.

Yeah, yeah. It happens. It's starting already. I have braces right now. So, I'm gonna get there. Yeah, at the start of a tooth journey. I'm actually getting a tooth extracted next month. Oh, so there you go. The thing done on his tooth, then they put a crown on which basically covers it so you can put a chew and a function of the tooth. And the tooth came off.

It was connected to my tooth that was already there, but I guess it had been in bad shape and it broke off. So the crown came off with it. And they said, there's nothing we can do. I said, okay. Did it hurt? Had a friend like, no, not because I don't work now. No problem. No problem. Okay. So there was no problem. So, had it hurt? Had a friend like, no, not because I had a root canal. No problem.

No problem. Okay. So there was no problem. So it okay, cool. So like the tooth from the gum up was still in there, but everything from the gum down, like into like the mouth was not there. Okay.

Had a friend that came into town and we were gonna go see Iron Maiden and that was like on Sunday. And Sunday night I'm like, ooh, hurts. Ow, why? Woke up Monday. I probably slept two and a half hours, because it hurt so bad.

And then took like six I B profan and then rolled around on the ground for a while and then said, I'm still here. Called the dentist and I said, you have to do literally anything do you have an appointment today? So I went into the dentist and they looked,

they took X-rays and they looked and they went, ooh, some bacteria got in there, you got an infection. Had an infection up into the gum for like the rest of the two. I said, what can we do? You have to make it stop. And they said, ooh, some bacteria got in there, you got an infection. Had an infection up into the gum for like the rest of the two. I said, what can we do? You have to make it stop. And they said, we can extract it, but all we can give you is nitrous and Novakaine,

or light-acane, whatever. You can call oral surgeons and see when you're, like the next appointment would be and they can knock you out and pull it. I called, I was in the dentist chair, I called eight oral surgeons. The earliest appointment, this was on Monday, Wednesday afternoon, and I just hung up and I told the doctor, let's fuck it out right now. I'm gonna, like, I told her if I have to wait until Wednesday, I don't know that I can make it. It hurts so bad.

So, they gave me nitrous and my buddy Andrew, next door to a Walmart, I got headphones, popped him in and then they just extracted the rest of the tooth, sode me up, yeah, it's that. That's where you were during the podcast last week. Yep, and sode me up and said, all right, keep it clean. Don't get dry socket. So you have one less tooth right now. I'm minus one tooth right now.

It's the second to last molar on the top, and they're like, great. So now when you go to an oral surgeon, what they'll do, because I already have one implant molar on the top and they're like great. So now when you go to an oral surgeon, what they'll do, because I already have one implant in like the back and the bottom or whatever, to like what they'll do is they'll have to open you back up, drill into your jaw, put like a piece in,

and then attach it to. And I went, I went, yeah, yeah, yeah, not fucking doing that. And you're fucking on. I came and tell that you are not doing it. Especially like you're upper and upper.

All the way in the back. And it's like just eat on the other side for now. Could you, I guess it'll be a while before you feel comfortable chewing on that side. Yeah, I'll probably be like another week. Yeah, I can eat regular foods right now. Yeah, the biggest thing to tell you is don't suck through a straw for the first week.

Yeah, it's the biggest thing. Oh, and no drinking. Alcohol. Alcohol. I went to Iron Maiden on two. I think I've just done on Monday. I went to Iron Maiden on Tuesday. Stone Cold's over.

Hell yeah. Fuck that. That show was awesome. I know what would have made it fucking cooler. Man, that was a bummer. But now minus one tooth. So tooth extraction. Yeah.

Not terrible. If you go to an oral surgeon, you can like pay a... I'm actually not going to an oral surgeon. I chose not to. I'm okay. Really? I'm using the laughing gas. Oh surgeon. I chose not to I'm really thing the laughing gas Oh, yeah, and the so the same thing you did the nitrous is like I Don't know that it did that much. I guess it like took the edge off, but I wasn't really like worried Yeah, and they just they know what they're doing

Yeah, they shot me up with the stuff the worst part of the whole thing is like When they're pulling the tooth out and I'm not gonna go into it because you don't wanna listen to that. I do actually, yes, someone who's getting it the next month, yeah. Well, I mean, we do that on opt-up. I'll let you know how it feels and what to be ready for, but it's pretty, it's not like brutal, it's just so unique.

It's so unique. The feeling is so different. Yeah. It's bizarre, but they just so you up and they give you a little thing to like, score and make sure that you're good. I'm so excited. Yeah, it's like, don't drink. And it's like, boom. Exactly for how long?

Tomato tomato. They were like a week, but I went to a wrestling show on Saturday with Dante or IT guy and a few other friends. And it was like, so if you get an infection at your own, you're a bad boy. I drank on the right side. Although you think that alcohol would help clear. What do I'm saying?

Yeah, when I drink it up, I'm like? You know? Yeah, when I drink it up, I'll look like I'm probably. But drinking a Bud Light Lime's nothing surviving. This would be fine. Just drink the straight, that's tequila vaca rum. So I didn't have Friday. You'll be gracious. Yeah, that's right. So I'd have no problem with that. I feel like don't have to drink.

Okay. They're like no drinking, no smoking. And I'm like, go on, give me doctors note for Iron Maiden that let so they don't kick my ass. I need to look cool. Guys, stop punching me, read this note. We went with Blaine to the Iron Maiden show too. Blaine told us that some guys or maybe one guy gave him shit for wearing a mask there.

I don't even know that it was giving him shit. I think this guy was drunk and he's like, first they can send the leaps in your Iron Maiden's like, yeah, COVID's over. And everyone's like, yeah, can send the leaps in your Vyron Maiden's like, yeah, COVID's over. And everyone was like, yeah, and we looked at Blaine and we went, and then you mean, yeah, exactly. So Blaine wore a mask and then a guy came up to me and he's like,

yeah, you wear a mask and Blaine went, yeah, and the guys like, at a metal show and Blaine went, yeah, and that was the end of the conversation. Oh, right. And it was like, Blaine made it seem way more. It's like, we're more comfortable. We're more comfortable, yeah.

We're more comfortable, yeah. It wasn't that comfortable. But me and then my buddy, Amy, no Andrew, we were both like, we saw it happen and we both went, what's up? Like, we were like fucking ready. Like ready to go. But no one wants to fight in an Iron Maiden show.

Everyone wants to get in the pain, have a good time. Right. A few months ago, I was going on a flight and I was like taxing around getting ready to go take off. And I taxied past the Bon Jovi jet. It's like the big like Bon Jovi logo on the side of the jet. And I was like, oh, it was Bon Jovi town. And I looked, it's like, oh yeah, they had a show like last night.

I guess they were like flying out the next day. Big Coda? I don't know where, I don't remember where they were. Watching like, oh yeah, they had a show like last night. I guess they were like flying out the next day. Big Coda? I don't know, I don't remember where they were. Huh. Watching Chubi eat it towards you, sorry. Oh, Chubi's still over there. Yeah. And he's eating it towards you.

He dropped Chubi. That's a cool backpack. Yeah. Yeah, I guess they played like the day before or something. I don't remember when that was. It was a couple months ago on Chubi Ostep. Yeah I don't know why. April 23rd, they were at the Moody Center. Really? Yeah. We worked there. It's so wild though.

I only just fed out. We're closer to your next birthday than we are to your previous one. Yeah. I'm about to be closer to 30 than to 20. Yeah. Bye Michelle. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Oh for coming. Bye. Oh my God, and a darkness is hot. So cool. Yeah. A real air wall.

What a great guess. Oh. How is it flying with Bon Jovi? It was a pretty good one. I'm sure. Do you know about, super cool. Do you know about Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden is flying so far?

Yeah. That's what maybe you think about it's actually hosting. Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden, at one point, with the band for like two albums and wanted to like, just do like his own stuff, and also become a commercial airline pilot. Cool.

And so he learned how to do it. And now he pilots their commercial airline when they fly all over the world. Oh my God. The lead singer. And he still sings it. Oh yeah, he's fucking awesome. When he did, when he sings,

Blink grew up outside of Dallas. And so he's got some of that satanic panic in him, like a little bit where he's like a little, like he's like a group and it's like, I was just gonna be like evil. Yeah. He kept asking like, is it gonna get pretty wild?

And we're like, it's not that crazy, but like there's fire in this fireworks and it gets pretty nutsy. It's cool, whatever. They do one song called Sign of the Cross. And the background is their mascot, like Eddie holding a giant cross

with like another Eddie head on it, with a guy getting burned at the stake and a bunch of like pagans like worshipping. And then Bruce Dickinson carries a big light up cross and they sing Sign of the Cross and fire shooting up and I just looked at Blaine and it was like his eyes. He's like, He's dancing made a game called to the lamb, because same. and fire shooting up and I just looked at Blaine and it was like his eyes were like

any chance they played a game called to the lamb cause same. It's that, it's like that. Yeah, so I definitely think you should put that on while playing called to the lamb. Call to the lamb, so fun. Yeah, it's so good. It's so cute and so good.

How are you finishing it? I'm most of the way there. I'm getting close probably in the next time or two that I sit down with it, I'll probably finish it. It's a real question about games you're playing right now. Disney Dream Light Valley. I downloaded it last night. Did you?

Yeah. It is the like chillest game. It's Disney mixed with Animal Crossing and a bit of started Valley. Oh, okay. Yeah, it seemed good and it has pretty good reviews. So like it's still in beta technically. Oh, is it? It's early access.

It's free on Game Pass, if you should. Oh, okay, good. I'm happy to know that. Yeah. I downloaded it last night. I paid for it, I didn't know it was on Game Pass. I'm an idiot. So I'm gonna check it out.

I kind of wish I got it on the Switch though. I got on PC. I downloaded it to my Switch. Yeah, although, yeah, because it's nice to switch it's nice when you can take it wherever you want and play in bed or stuff. That's how I'm playing Cult of the Lamb on Switch. Yeah. Is it like, um, it's from the hearts, like farming simulator? I honestly, I saw him who hasn't played it as a watch a lot.

You play like my friend Novis, it came out after two days. I was like, how many hours do you have? She said 36. I'm like, you played this game. Oh my god. was like we didn't know even I said you played this game But it's very grindy so very grindy I was telling a lot of people that if you're a Disney fan Or even if you like games like monster hunter rise where it's a very much so you have to go yeah To get the thing you would enjoy this game That's why it's like animal crossing where you have to do a lot of like collecting and forging and selling the stuff and then you get like recipes to make things and

I heard goofy is a new time look. Oh, I mean goofy have an interesting relationship in this game. Goofy, so there's a mechanic in this game that if you start fishing, one of the characters, whatever character's closest to you will run up behind you and watch you fish. Why? I don't know, but it makes me so anxious. to you will run up behind you and watch you fish. Why? I don't know, but it makes me so anxious. It's so much for foraging, I mean.

I was terrible at posting the pictures. Yeah, of it happening. I was just like, watch this, watch this, because we're like, okay, goofy's over there on the other side of that house. Okay, I'm gonna turn around and start fishing. The second I cast my line, you look like you're literally right behind me.

I'm like, there he is. And so we kept trying to do this thing where I had him in my line of vision and I would cast my thing, but then Merlin would come up behind me and I'm just like, there, stop it. Oh, while they're doing like deep cut Disney characters, like they got like a bunch of them.

Yeah. And I just got Wally to come to my island. Oh, that's cool. Remi for the two-leason in. Oh, so it is like, it's just, it's Animal Crossing. Yeah. Oh, when you said Animal Crossing, I thought you meant like,

like the vibe, I didn't realize it was like, have the fucking guy come to your island in the end. No, but it's similar to Animal Crossing where you could like buy stuff in the shop, they have new stuff every day, you could place villagers' houses, you could eventually like craft things to put on your island and in your house, it's very similar.

I think it's similar to Stardew Valley in a sense that each character has its own level up and the way you level them up, they actually end up helping you. Yeah, it's got no, if you level up Elsa, she'll help you like, so like materials which helps you get other level ups or other characters. When you reach a certain level of friendship with the characters, they could, you could choose like what skill that they help you with, mining or foraging or whatever. I'm going to name a bunch of Disney characters. You tell me if they're good. Miko the Raccoon from Pocahontas. I don't think so.

Come on. But, he's a great person. They're releasing more characters. Yeah, like, game comes out. I've only, I've only been playing for a few days, like on and off, and I've only gotten Walli to join my island. Okay.

Oh, Mickey's there, and then Merlin, and Goofy, I think our starters. You were looking for Mickey Boring. What have been the public domain? Oh, and the Scrooge McDuck. Oh, he looks like a hurricane. Prince Eric is there. And one of the biggest complaints I've seen people say

is that Prince Eric is the same as Blue Eyes. He has brown eyes. What, that bullshit. That's bullshit. He looks so soulless. It's so much worse. This is how a lot of people's interest in dark hair with light eyes. It's got it was Prince Eric.

He was the awakening for many people. Never identified with Prince Eric even though we had the same name. You should have really seen him. It's like you. Can I just start calling you Prince Eric? Yeah, I mean, you can, but I don't think my wife's going to like it. What about Prince-y? Prince-y?

I'd say I'm like you're saying Prince-y. I thought it was Prince E. Exactly. I am the UI. It works on so many levels. They got the penguin from Mary Poppins. I don't see. The thing is, I don't know.

I've only seen a couple clips of the game of different characters. They got Steve Bouchemmie-Lizard from the Monster Zinc. No, probably. I don't know. No, no. No. So it is Pixar characters. They got Wally. Yeah. Wally. They got the Steve him. Like, help him make friends and stuff because he's shy.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. where if you pick up a quest with Wally, when he first joins your island, you have to do a couple things with him, like pick some flowers for him, like help him make friends and stuff, because he's shy. And one of the other things is show him, like you see an animal for him.

Okay, like in front of him or for him? Like he's basically following you around as you're completing this quest, the side quest. And there's an issue with the game where if you try feeding an animal, one of its like a food that you have, but it's not its favorite food, you can't try to feed it again for 24 hours. And so I spent, I don't know how many hours trying to feed fucking animals in this game, and no one was taking my food. And the whole, you can't end the quest

with Wally. You can't be like, cancel. So he's following around. So I'm running all the island with this behind me. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Yeah, I do the any was a lot was 10 hours into the game had to start the entire game. Oh my god. Yeah, it's like a bug slash the game Not communicating proper. They got Roxas and Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I got the list. Oh You know, I don't know. Yes. Yeah, that's fine. Spoil it. We're gonna spoil the characters and does need streamlined values. If that matters to you Boy, all right. Here we go. Merlin, Wally, Moana, Maui, Remi, Ariel, Prince Eric, Ursula, Anna, Elsa, Christophe, Mother Gothel, Gothel, Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey, Mini, Scrooge.

It's a very basic list. How, I hope they add more. How the mermaid walk? I think they're, she just flopper. There's like areas of the island that are beaches So she probably stays in the water. Okay beaches and there's some ponds and stuff Okay, that'd be weird to see where she already gave her voice to Yeah, she can't talk to you

Oh, I made a little mermaid to Ariel. There you go. I want to see her like a trout on the land Like flopping around trying to catch up to you Let's go feed the animals I know what else think that the little mermaid and concept is a little creepy I'm trying to catch up to you. Let's go, feed the animals. It will let me walk. Anyone else think that the little mermaid and concept is a little creepy? It's like, there is a story that's found in this background.

There is a story too, but even the movie, it's like this grown adult man finds a 16 year old girl who can't speak. And like, Hold on, now hold this Eric. I've actually pulled up a list of every single prince and how old their princesses when they get together. Yeah.

One of the worst ones, honestly, is Mulan and Fah. Is that the name? No. No, no. Shang. Mulan and Shang, really bad. Let's be extra fairly bad. According to the film's official novelization,

Erica just turned 18 in the beginning. Oh, I guess that's not bad, because she's 16, yeah. Yeah, no, that's bad. I mean, it's bad, but. That's bad. It's bad. Just saying. I thought he was like- Just want to be clear? In his 20s. It's bad. I mean, it's bad, but. That's bad. It's bad. Just saying. I thought he was like, just want to be clear?

In his 20s. It's bad. No, most, I think the oldest people, like the oldest main character males in Disney Princess movies are. Shang, I think he's oldest. It's 34. I think Eugene Fitzpatrick from Rapunzel

is old as well, older. Oh Eugene, yeah. Those, I remember those two being old. Everyone else is like 18, 19. I think Prince Charming is all 20. I'm not a child. I'm not a child. Kind of thing, yeah.

Shang is 19. 19. Yeah. Wait, Navine is also older, I remember two. But that's because Cian is what I think Cian is 18. Cian, I think is, yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Is that the frog one?

Yeah. Which she's a frog for the majority of the movie and I'm like that's the hell this frogs How old is Frank's how old is frogs? They're doing splash mountain do frogs Making the frog movie into the splash mountain. You know about that. Yeah, no. Yeah, they're doing they're they're making the they're making the Frogs not surprised. Yeah, they're making the fox go away tower of terror Yeah, I think I think maybe the the roots of They're making the frocks. I'm not surprised. They're making the frocks the way. Tower of Terror. You can turn that into Gallic character. Yeah, I think maybe the roots of Splash Mountain

were like, we didn't need that one for a ride. You watch the song in the South. It's just an excuse to get have a water ride. Yeah, well, but they're gonna, like just re-skin it as the frog princess. I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but I do not like the re-skin of Tower of Terror to be gardens the galaxy. No opinion, but I do not like the risk in of Tower of Terror to be Garden's the Galaxy.

No, sucks. I also, something I really liked about Tower of Terror and maybe I'm misremembering is when you would ride that you look out to the park and like you see out, but Garden's the Galaxy, there's screens. There's only one moment in the ride where you get to see outside. But I hate the screens make me nauseous.

And it's like I'm also actually going up and down. I want to be able to see outside and actually see where I am instead of like this weird day happening on the monitors. Could you see out more than once there was just a one time? I feel like it's at the very top, but I really don't remember. I thought it was just at the top.

At the very top, it opens up, but that's the only time I can see. I guess make that's remembering it. I just don't like this. It's been a long time since I've been on tower. I just don't need Gardy's the galaxy to risk in like a listen. So many so many is to be looking out for big Chris Pratt fans like me. There's a where where are the rides for me?

That your favorite Chris. That's the best Chris. You're not a big Chris Pratt fan. You're a big Chris Pratt fan. Yeah. So fan of big Chris. Yeah. He a guest doesn't really like.

I'm a real Pratt head. Guest doesn't really like his movies or his shows. He's just kind of like, he just like agrees with like his views. He's got some interesting views. And stuff that he posts, things that his wife posts. Normal.

It makes you think. So you're not a Chris Prat head, you're a Prat fan. Yeah, not like that idiot, Chris Pine. Yeah, Chris Prat is like a big man of Chris Pine. If I ever see Chris Pine, I'm gonna spit on him, Harry Styles style. Dude, what was up with all of that?

Oh, I had to ask our former intern, Kat, give me the low down and she gave me way too much information. Don't worry darling, drama. That's the best though, isn't it? Like, I think that rules, because it's just like, here's a movie you're probably not gonna see.

Yeah. Here's some insane shit about a movie. Now you might see it. Yeah. You know, and I think that rules, because it's just like, here's a movie you're probably not gonna see. Yeah. Here's some insane shit about a movie that you might see it. Yeah. And I think it works. I want it when I saw the trailer for it originally, I was interested in seeing it, but like all this stuff around it, I'm like, fuck dude. Yeah.

I just, I don't know what's going on. Yeah. That's the only reason I know anything about that movie is like all the fucking. I never heard of it. It works. Yeah, it's on purpose. Never.

It's on purpose. But like I'm not gonna go see it. I just found out this morning that Park Chan Wolk has a new movie coming out. I like two weeks or so, three, but a month. He directed Old Boy, The Handmaiden, Stoker, it's got a new movie coming out. Like next month, I was like, oh shit, I had no idea. What is it?

Decision to leave. It's like a family drama thing. It's seen, so the trailer is very cagey. It seems like it's a woman who murders her husband and then becomes romantically involved with the detective who's investigating her. Okay. That sounds like a lot of like...

Kinda like a telenovela. Yeah, it is like South Korean cinema, I feel like is very like what you said, like, KG. Yeah. What is this really about? It's like, ah, seven layers deep, I see. Like, it's always like that. Like the hand made, like, if you watch the trailer for that,

you're like, I don't know what this movie's gonna be about, but it looks cool. And then you watch it, you're like, this movie has way more graphic sex than I was expecting for this. Oh, wow. That's cool. And then you watch it, like, this movie has way more graphic sex than I was expecting for this. Wow. That's cool. That's awesome. It's a really, really great movie. But man, it is, it isn't whatever you think it's going to be based on the trailer. It is not that. It is not that at all. I like when movies do that. Yeah. Give me a, give me a weird trailer and then,

um, yeah, well, maybe watch the movie. Why not? I feel like that's most trailers now. Most trailers, they don't give way too much. So how do you, I mean? I feel like most trailers now are a slowed down indie girl, 2014 version of a song from the 80s or the 90s. Yeah. And then everything goes, Ba stop your skin to me. And then it just shows vignettes of people turning

or looking, it's just a lot of that. But then it shows stuff that you're not supposed to see and it's just like, all right, that's what I hate. Yeah, did you ever see body spotty spotty? No, I have not either. I don't watch anything. I don't either, I don't know. I mean, he's probably lying,

but I actually don't watch movies. I mean movies and TV when people are like, oh, did you see this? I watch it. I watch it when I can watch it at home. Yeah, it's that. Is it like an attention span thing or like what is the is it just like not the type of media you like to consume? It's the type of it's not the time. Yeah, like consumers also just the act of going out to go see something. Yeah. The act of going out to go see something. Watch out. The act of turning something on. Oh, what? Because I mean, but I'm also like, you know,

I am Generation Z. I am on Twitter all the time. I could tell you the plot of a whole bunch of movies I've never seen for. I'm example, the mummy was just at Alamo a few weeks ago. I was my first time seeing the mummy. Oh, you went. I went. I had never seen the mummy had known nothing about the,

I knew there was a mummy. I just see the daddy. The what? Who? The daddy. The mummy and the daddy. That's fun. And that's that daddy, I'm no gram.

I'm pretty sure of me. The exact same joke. The daddy. Like seven years. Yeah. I never actually came out. I just don't, I'm, I'm a, a older white guy. So I just don't like anything.

Nothing for you anymore. Except for DX movies. Oh, that's, but that's to me is like such a ride. Yeah, it's like at least it's like a thrill ride. I just think, I just think it's like, most movies are not enjoyable to a degree where I just end up going like, at least tried, you know. Watch it at home, that's what I say for every thing.

But it's not even like the, like, oh, the act of going to the movies. I just don't, I'm in bear, I think I talked to Jeff about this and talked about an anima thing that you weren't on. That I just said, like, I'm embarrassed that I went to film school in the same way that I'm embarrassed that I used to listen to a lot of Weezer.

You know what I mean? Does that make sense? Like, that's how I, like, that's how I feel. I'm embarrassed about a ton of stuff. Yeah, so it's just like earlier in my life. But then it's like cinema is such a, such a throw away like. It's so interesting,

because I also went to school for TV in the room, but the content that I consume is, honestly before, when I start working here at James, I used to watch just a lot of YouTube, a lot of YouTube gameplay stuff. Now it's TikTok, I hate TikTok. But, we kick it off of it. To this day, now I watch a lot of anime,

I watch a lot of reality TV, and I watch a lot of YouTube still. What reality TV do you like? The most recent one, I, funny enough, I saw this at the dentist. Oh yeah, this is what you're getting at. Oh, you're getting at braces. Yeah, when I was getting my oral consultation, daily dating and related just came out on that.

Dating and related. Is that number? I'm sorry. Yes. What the fuck is that? I think it's like, brothers and sisters, they don't date each other, but I can say Christ.

They go on to be faster when you say that. They go on to be so much faster. I know you move to the South. You do not have to embrace the culture that much. You have to. Barbara, you gotta be sniff. It's your brothers and sisters. Not dating each other. Okay.

But I think they are like dating people together. Like not. It's essentially the same idea of two hot to hand the words, singles on an island. However, you have to watch. You have someone in your corner. Like example, I know the type of people that my, like, say if I want to,

I'm my little brother in dates and I'm like, I want him to stay clear of that. So I'm in his corner cheering him on, but I'm also dating myself. So, as a matter of, does your having your sibling there help you? Or is it making everything a lot more awkward? I really like that. Stay clear. I know what he likes. I know what he likes. I don't say clear. Watch out. I know a trip when I see one and listen, you might be getting the gong foam right now. You're trying to find love, my guy. You ain't gonna find it here, you're gonna find it. Speaking of dating and related,

have you watched House of Trigon? Because I haven't watched Megan Twitter. She's told me a lot about that. Also, the Targaryen family, the Taurus for instance. It's funny because I did not want to watch that show. I did not think I was gonna like that show. It's really good. It's really good I did not want to watch that show. I did not think I was going to like that show. I thought it's really good. It's really good.

It's really good. Yeah, for a thought up now. Yeah. Not the most recent episode from this weekend, but the one from last weekend. That was uncomfortable. There was a very, apparently though, I found some interesting things.

That scene was directed. I forget her name, but a female director who wanted it to be, to make sure that scene was filmed in a way that empowered the woman in the scene. I don't want to give away what happened, but there's a sexual scene involving people who are related. And so watching that play out was uncomfortable. But it was kind of their perspective of like, she wanted and she like wanted it to happen. It wasn't like a

non-consensual. I've seen people talk about it on Twitter, and it brings up the conversation of just because there's a lot of conversation about that So in controversy and different opinions on different things happening in it and a lot of you are saying It's so funny how there's all these opinions, but seems okay with incest. Like there's so many things people are thinking about, no one's complaining enough about the incest. I blame, like, PornHub top searches where it's like step-rover. Yeah, it's all that. Oh my gosh, step-ro. Where are you doing? But that's still technically not incest, right?

But that's the soft step in the direction. You're towing a line. Yep. And then she was But that's the soft stuff. You're definitely a direct show. You're towing a line. And then shows like dated and related. Which is about brothers and sisters dating other people. It's very funny too, because in dating and related, they all share a bedroom. What the hell? Oh, so you're sibling is getting, it's an action.

I mean, I just finally watched Persephone. Persephone starts with, you're in the bed with your brother or sister, right? Yeah. And then, but the thing is, I'm out. Yeah. Learned in the trailer,

there's a conversation where someone says, how, like, ask her brother, how would you feel if I slept with him instead of you tonight? Uh-huh. And then he's just like, eh. Because you're in the same room. Yeah.

Yeah. Especially if your plugs are anything or headphones or... Well, it's funny because shows like that, like I'm thinking of Love Island where all the couples share one big room, a bunch of beds and like people bone. Yes. Do what they handle, people.

They really have sex in the room. No. With every one of us. Yeah. That's too hot to handle, that's happened. Yeah. You have literally had sex in the room. There's a getaway room that you could go to

literally tomorrow People like now when I get down to go for tonight. Oh tonight It's so entertaining to watch that's why I love love Island because it's just like so far removed from anything How is is there incessant in the Lord of the Ring show or no? Probably not that I've seen so far it's It's a very safe family friendly show for the most. Right, yeah, except for like a little bit of violence maybe. It's very, very broad appeal.

Okay. So I know we talked last week I said that I didn't like it. Then I then I've been delaying watching episode three and I watched episode three and I was like, oh no, this is actually really good. I was like really into it. And then I watched episode four was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no getting into some of those other anime's right now. I heard that I heard the cyberpunk thing is like a great. I heard really good things about it. I watched the first episode last night.

The first episode was really good. I'm excited to watch the rest of it. I heard that it's like a great, it's like, I don't know how to describe kind of like what I heard. It's like a great reset for like what that game was supposed to like. Yeah. It like it did more with that world and like that space and it's like, well yeah, no shit.

It could be narrative in like a different way. I mean, it's not a video game. It was already like a pen and paper game like it was already a game that existed before 2077. Was it 2077? Yeah. Before whatever the project, CD Projekt Red one was. So I mean, there was already a lore and a universe

and a world and all of this stuff. This game came out and I haven't played it, I stuff. This game came out and I haven't played it. I finished it when it came out and I haven't played it since then. I mean, the game, I think, really skewed everyone's perception of that IP in a negative way. Supposedly, they've gone back and fixed it. I don't know. I haven't played that game in a couple years now. It's FPS. But yeah, I mean, there's a lot to draw from there.

And I think that's true. I mean, that's true. A lot of people forget that example of just Game of Thrones. It's not just those two families or three families in the world. There's an entire world. And if you wanted to say, okay,

we're gonna do the Game of Thrones lower world, but take this family that is never seen on camera, but lives within that kind of society, you can do that. That's a completely different narrative. And that's exactly what they do not do with Star Wars. That is exactly what they don't do. People, man, they were so close.

They were so close to doing it with Star Wars boy. They really, they were like right on that line and they had a make or break decision and they went, guess what? And I went, no! That is true. They do have an entire universe. There is so much stuff I would love to see.

They're blowing up whole ass planets and I don't know anyone from there. They're like, Leia's got it from there. And then they go people are interested in watching. What if Leia, but little girl? Yeah, right, I mean, it was like, oh, yeah. When, I don't care that I was spoiling,

this has been years. When Rez, like, oh, it's like a Palpatine thing. I was sitting next to Blaine. We went to see that movie. And I was really excited for like the first part, like the first act of that third movie, like the third sequel or whatever, is like, whoa, they're like, don't plan it.

I feel like that's what I fucking love this. I fucking love this. Whoa, like a flying around. I thought it was so cool. And they're like, guess what, you're a Palpatine. I leaned over to Blaine and I went dog shit. In the rest of this movie sucks. And I was fucking right.

I mean, you just have another doing a thing called Andor. Get fucking real. What's on the band door? And you can do anything. You can do anything with Star Wars. And what you did was choose a character from a movie that already came out that we saw what happens to him and it's called fucking Andor.

Andor, get fucking real. Gredo, Andor. I hate it. One is an Andor, not an Andor. That's. One is an Andor. Ladies and gentlemen, Barbara Dunkelman. I, Star Wars used to be a thing that I really liked,

and then I read all the books, and then they're like, none of these are canon. I went, I fucking hate this. Yeah, I've been really kicked before, like the prequel's came out. I read like the, the Thrawn novels, and I was like, oh man, Star Wars is so cool, so much stuff can happen, and then Disney got it,

and was like, y'all with that stuff? Non-canon? Let's go back to the Skywalker. Do you read any books, Kay? I know you said you don't really watch a lot of TV and movies, but what about books? I used to read a lot more than I do, but right now, I read a lot of Teen Titans manga.

Hell, yeah. Garfield Piccolo, I think, is his name. He's writing some Bespoke Loves Raven stories, and that's my number one ship. But in terms of stories, there's actually the series I'm reading by Tomia DeYemi called, and I mentioned it before in the thing that she's my hunter content. Children of Blood and Bone. Oh, and I mentioned it before in the I think a 200 content, children of blood and bone.

Oh, yeah. She's currently in the making of her third and final part of that trilogy. So waiting for that, hoping she comes out to need her autograph again. Very, very, very quick. Was this a, was this a doorway to it for you to talk about Thornton of Quart and Glass or whatever?

I was wondering what are you close. Well, it's just you guys bring up like reading Star Wars or Game of Thrones or like all those books, which just seems so daunting to me. But I am reading the quarter-thorens and roses series. I'm on the third book right now, but halfway through, that book series, so good. The second book, what's the genre?

Fantasy, I don't, I wanna to say romance, but I feel like it. I mean, there's some sexy times and the books feel like it's a little smuddy. Feel like it's almost young adult, but it's a little more like the first book is definitely more young adult. The second book gets a little more. I think that's what they all have to do because like when you start off, I guess a lot of the things that became big successes like Twilight, Hunger Games, divergent, they all start off with this very base romance.

And it's just like, by the way, the world sucks and you have to save it. Like that's what the second and third books typically become. Yeah, my wife fucking loves that series. Yeah, we talked about it. We talked about it. Oh man, it's very well done.

She like rereads those books. Really? Yeah, she loves that shit. I'm thinking about going back to the beginning. I would love to get about it. I talked about it. It's very well done. She like rereads those books. Really? She loves that shit. I'm thinking about going back to the beginning. I would love to get into it because I love YA, I love fantasy. I have the first book if you wanna read it. I would love it.

The rest of it down on my Kindle though. Sarah Weems is all about it too. Sarah reads more than any human being I've ever met. For a reason. She will read a book in a day easily. Oh, that's easy. I cannot do that. Really?

Unless I literally had from morning to, I'm just too busy. Even on the weekend, I'm like, well, I gotta do my laundry and I gotta go take this to this place and I gotta drop that off. I'm gonna weekend with actually rest days and not just time to clean up my entire house.

I am a firm believer that weekends need to be three days long. One day to do absolutely nothing, one day to do chores and catch up on stuff and a third day to see people and actually hang out with friends. Otherwise, it's just off balance two days, not enough. Two days is not enough. I should run for president. Sure.

Drew, everything. I mean, running is easy. It's yes. I can't wait for president. Yeah. Three day weekends for all. Did anybody watch the Shengwong comedy special on Netflix? No, not yet. Vives again, seeing clips comedy special on Netflix? No. Not yet.

I've again seen clips of it. It's it's really good. He talks about reading. He says you like you know he'll see like someone will put out a list like 70 books you need to read this summer like no that's not happening. Yeah. Like you just understand how people have so much time to read so many books and when you talk about Sarah we need so much of me if you think about it. But you should definitely watch that comedy special on Netflix. Okay, cool.

It was really, it's like an hour long. I was like, oh, that was really excellent. I'll watch it after Data and Related. She did. I think they're doing a court thorns glass. Court of thorns in roses. Court in thorns in roses. You can use the Ackatar.

Ack what? Ackatar. Ackatar? Ackotar. Ackatar. ACOTA. Are we talking about Ackinator, that little website down there? What is the Aka Tower? Aka White? Aka Tricer. Avatar? Aka Tricer. Aka Tricer. I already talked about Aka Nader, that little website. I think they're making a show or a movie.

I think they're doing a series on Hulu with it. Yeah. Which I'm trying not to look up any details about it because when I'm reading a book, especially for the first time, I don't want to picture like who they have cast in mind for it. I want to picture how I picture it. Yep, that's my wife going like, who are they cast? It's going to be wrong. It's going to be wrong.

Yep, absolutely. I guess you're excited for Avatar? You know what? You're going to pay me 100 bucks? Nope. It's not coming out this year. Is that the bet? I don't remember making the bet, but absolutely.

That doesn't come out this year or is he sick? I just said, I said there's no way it comes out by like the end of 2022, I think. I think, I don't remember, but. When is it slated for? December 23rd, 2022. It'll come out this year. Yeah, I don't have to because they wanted to win Oscars.

And also because like I feel they wouldn't advertise that date for Avatar. It's a big movie. I don't push it. Although, they've done that before for Avatar. It's a big movie. I don't push it. Although, whoo. They've done that before for other things, right? Who? Who is excited for this?

It's people have, people have irony pill, pilled themselves into being excited for Avatar. I'm excited. And it's, for what? What did the first movie do? I enjoyed it. Really?

Yeah. You saw that world and you said, a little more for me, please. Yeah. Wow. I thought it was good, little more for me please. Yeah. Wow. I thought it was good. I enjoyed it for the first time. I don't remember avatar.

Anything about it, but I'll watch it again. I probably saw that movie in theaters more than any other movie. You saw it more than one time. I think I saw it five times in theaters. What? I really avatar? Well, because I saw it in theaters and then I saw it in theaters, and then I saw it in 3D, and then I saw it in IMAX. And then I went to go see it with another friend,

and then I think there's another friend that wanted to see. Is this why I made so much fucking money? Yeah. Yeah. Again, if you gotta go see it again and again. I don't get it. What do people want to see in that world? I think it was just blue people.

When did it come out? 2009, 2010, Somewhere on there. I'm looking it up right now. Thank you. I don't know. I think I just, when I saw it for the first time, it was like a form of escapism that I really enjoyed. It was 2009.

2009. Wow. So I was 20 years old. December 18th, they're trying to get it exactly around the same date at the original release. It's like, I just, nothing about the world was like appealing, nothing about the characters was appealing. Like I don't understand.

Walking out of that movie, it's like technologically. Wow, they really made something happen here. I was 20 when I saw it. And maybe that has a lot to do with it. Maybe now at 33, it won't be the same type of feel. I thought it was good. I don't get it. It's like a fungully in space. It's exactly fun. Exactly fun going in space. Have you ever seen

fun going? I have seen fun going. I saw it when I think I was three or four probably and I remember it's being like the evil chocolate pudding. Yeah. Nice. I can not remember the move until I think a year ago recently I was like the evil chocolate pudding was taking over the machines and there were fairies and they were like, you're talking about Frank William. Okay, let me look at it. I'm like, oh, it's pollution. Yeah, it's pollution. It's pollution.

It's pollution. Yeah, people mining the forest. Yeah, they do in an avatar. Yeah, it's just, I don't know. I mean, to Eric's point, I've never seen an avatar. I've never been interested in seeing an avatar. But I also was, and so interesting, because everyone's saying it was critically acclaimed

for what it did. It was, yeah. But me being 12 years old, I guess, in that space, being younger, I was just like, I didn't think anything. I didn't think they did anything crazy. No, I get it. Totally understand. I just don't, to warrant that many sequels

and the amount of money they're putting into it, it's not like, oh, you can't doubt James Cameron. It's like, I don't doubt James Cameron. I just watched the first Avatar and went like, I'm good here, man. I think they probably had so much money that invest in research and developing stuff.

We can't make our money back on one movie. No, there's no way. We're gonna have to release a couple of them. Yeah, I went through a whole thing where I was, you know when you finish reading a book or a movie and you get almost like minor depression, because you- Did you go into Avatar Depression? Because you don't live there. Did you go to Avatar Depression?

I sure did. It was an Arbra. But like, for a few days. Do you remember these articles and everything that were coming out around the time of Avatar Depression? It was because it was so beautiful and just like you're so immersed in the It's so funny here. You say you got depression from a movie because I get PCD post-concert depression Yeah, when you go to a concert and you're like, oh my gosh, you know the vibes are immaculate

I missed it. I like want to be there forever exactly you missed the person. Yeah, I just got upset that that wasn't where I lived and existed I just got upset that that wasn't where I lived and existed. You can't believe it. I'm a depression. On a related note, have you ever heard of Paris syndrome? No, what is Paris syndrome? It's something that some tourists experience. Specifically, I think it typically refers to Japanese tourists who visit Paris and the city does not live up to their expectations.

Oh, yes. So they get depressed and upset about it. Yeah, I'm not even putting that way about New York too. Well, a lot of these places are a lot per lock of a better term, like dirtier and smellier and lived in. Then they expect this beautiful, delicate, clean, exquisite place, but it's like... It's a real place. It's a real place that a lot of people live and there's trash and human suck no matter where they're from.

Yeah, that's absolutely true. I've been a London, I know what it is. I don't know what the fuck's up. You've been a London, you've been a friend? The worst, not never been a France, but I have seen your underpants. Have you talked about folks? Have you talked about Avatar and Depression before?

No, I just remember, we probably talked about it on the Megastixi 4 podcast, when it came out. It was such a thing that I remember articles coming out where people are like, yeah, people are sad that they can't live in the world of Avatar. That's a surprise. I don't get it. Then go to the theme park.

What dumpster one of the things I can't do? Oh, Rocco is fucking carrying a staff and saying the words and like, lining up like TV or whatever. What's fucking speak? What's fucking speak? TV. One of my favorite videos videos a fun house to the video a few years ago where at least one of the Navi Yeah, for the Halo Jake Jake Sulee

The way she's like perched on the chair the whole time Is that paint come off and it's you it's the moment of realization? That's a great video go back and watch that you. It's the moment of realization. Uh-huh. That's a great video. Go back and watch that. That's fucking awesome. I love it. I mean, even going to the whole thing of like getting depression from fantasy characters, that happened to me recently. Yeah.

I just finished Bruce Baskett, and I'm very sad about it. I've spent so much money on Bruce Baskett merch in the last two months just because of the fact that I missed the characters. I will no longer be able to continue this story. Yeah. And that happened to me after book two of Ackatar. Ackatar. After the second book, I the characters, I will no longer be able to continue this story. Yeah, and that happened to me after book two of Aka-Tar. Aka-Tar.

After the second book, I was like, I wanna live in this universe. Yeah. I wanna live in this book forever. There's something that's so sad about knowing that a story is done, but the characters technically aren't. Like, you can't pick them on, put them in a real world. Cause they're gonna, I guess in their fantasy

what they're still continuing on on the fact that you don't get to be a part of that anymore it's like you miss out on someone it's like when you lose a friend yeah you don't get the you don't get to see the rest of their story anymore and you almost have that connection with these characters that you've been invested in for okay air it looks very good what do you read books what Eric can't read he's like that DW thing like I can't very confused. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? also rises. And I love Hemingway and a Kurt description and a very like dry way of like telling a story. But it doesn't... I don't like leave it going like, wow, what a magical thing. It's just like this like realism that you can immerse in. And then I... and then I, but then I put it down,

and I don't get the character, I got to know where the character goes. I've never, I don't think I've ever, that's so interesting. I think I've ever seen it. I have to say for me, it's just the universe that these characters live in. Wow.

It's because like it, you know, with Akatar, they make certain parts of the book or like areas that they live in and exist in, sound just so incredibly magical and beautiful. Yeah. Like just a joy to live in, and in sound just so incredibly magical and beautiful. Yeah. Like just a joy to live in. And then when you come back to reality and you're like, I live in the United States of America. Yeah.

And the limited to Barbara's point, I kind of wish I had that relief of being like, oh, that was my escape. Because honestly, that would probably make reading easier. Yeah. Because for me, the reason why reading is so hard is that once I'm in a book, I'm into it, but picking up and finding a new one and trying to get reinvested is an investment. It's tough, yeah. And it's not only hard, but again, I'm a little jealous of you saying you can kind of just put it down.

Oh, yeah. I'm the kind of person that, once I'm into something, if I'm into it enough, like the first best guy didn't do this, but when I was a lot younger, I was really into fanfiction. That's the reason I was about to say, if you can't, Junior Amazon said this is why fanfic is the thing. Yes, I'm really, I was really, really into fan fiction. That's the six, I was about to say, if you can't, junior Amazon said, this is why fanfic is the thing. Yes, I'm really, I was really, really into fan fiction. Anytime a story ended like Digimon or Teen Titans, like things I was really into like cartoons, I didn't want their story to be over,

so I would read fan fiction and be like, okay, how would other fans like myself continue their story? Yeah, it's so amazing. Like alternate realities. It's really good to do it. I just, I read books that are like, we drove down the pavement,

the dust entered my mouth, the day is dry, the sun is high. There are two dogs fighting in the alley. And I'm like, wow, what a picture. And my wife reads it and goes, what the fuck is this? I'm like, you can't see the streets, it's dry. There's paint like.

And then the books I'm in there and just like, oh, the lake is filled with star light. It's streets, it's dry. There's paint like... And then the books I'm in there and just like, oh, the lake is filled with star light. It's that beautiful little sprawling from... It's just like the difference in prose. I don't like, I don't like a lot. I want this. It sounds like the road. Yeah, it's that.

It's that very like Chromic McCarthy like, da da da, da da, da da, da da, somebody died. Da da da. You like a lot of, I don't, did you like a lot of books that you had to read, you know, like for high school English readings? I had a lot of those books for that kind of format. We're not very much,

straight-forward. Don't, I like things with like more adult themes. Stuff like, catcher in the rye is probably like, yeah, man, I hated that book. Boy, I hated that book. Woof, boy, reading it at, like, you're writing like freshman year and it was just like, I hate this fuckbook.

I hate it. I was like, he was holding call film. He was like, you're just an asshole. Yeah. He just a fucking. Oh, he phonies you all phonies and I just go, I get what we're doing here. Yeah.

I don't need this. I hate it. I hated it. I didn't like the way it was written. I don't like that perspective. I just definitely like. I mean, there's some books that are a little too over-explanatory, I think. I feel like not to bring it up again,

but the AkaTar series is like, for me, the perfect balance of like, descriptive, but not like, it's on a paragraph of description, but is still very vivid and very. Do you want this one? I'd be surprised. But there is a series that school has ruined for me.

That's to this day people dragged me for. Oh, it's a very popular series. I had to read the first book in fifth grade. Had to read the second book in sixth grade. And I will never ever watch any of the movies. Never ever read any of the books. I will even try to reread the books, even though now I could probably understand it more.

What is it? Lord of the Rings. Ah, that's so long. I couldn't, I won't even try. No. It's so long. It's near biblical, right? Like it's people begetting people.

And that's a Silmarillion. Yeah. Lord of the Rings is fine. I will say. So just a good clarification. I had to read the Hobbit in Fifth grade. Okay. That's totally clarification. I had to read the Hobbit in 15th grade. Okay. Okay. That's totally different. I had to read the first load of rings in 6th grade.

I read the Lord of the Rings books before the movies came out and then I saw the movies and then I remember after the movies came out, I went back to try to reread them and I was like, no, I can't. I really can't with this. And that's I think kind of the core of the issue I've been having with rings of powers. I feel like it approached it almost like the Silmarillion where it's very And that's I think kind of the core of the issue I've been having with rings of powers I feel like it approached it almost like the summer really and where it's very

Like a history book or like an encyclopedia. Yeah, biblical. Yeah, biblical I guess And it's just it's it's a it's a there's a lot of really interesting lore in that series And I think it's lost if that's really cool. It's just how do you approach it and how do you tell the story and make it entertain? I just like a dry book. I probably wrap up soon, but before we go I Can't believe we've gone this whole podcast out mentioning it. So I block island meltdown. Oh, yeah, yeah is out now the first two episodes are out We should also mention all of season one is coming to YouTube. Yes. So the first episode of that came out the same day as the first episode of season two,

and it'll be releasing simultaneously at the same time. Yes. So if you want to watch season one, that will be on YouTube. So the thing with season two is love the cast and love what we did and everything. There's a little companion show. We're Gus interviews, I'm sorry Jeff, that's Gus. Jeff interviews, I've seen you guys too much today. Jeff interviews the person who gets kicked out,

voted off that episode, so there's a little companion show. Losers block. Yep, and then you can see that on the website. You can be a first member because it's all, you save 35% or whatever. So for everyone who watched OOTL, it was a first 40% and was either gifted or received. Yep, which is why you.

A lot. Subscription, first of all, thank you for making my pain painful and second of all go watch Survive Vlog Island. And so there's that companion show. And then we also recorded, so this is why you need to watch the show as it comes out and then you get this for a treat at the very end. We recorded a wrap up with Gavin and Andrew who are contestants. Fern, Bleepface.

Yep. We recorded a wrap up of them walking through how far they got and what they did and all of that stuff. So the only way I think you're really going to get, I enjoyed it and I hadn't seen the show and I didn't know what happened or whatever. But when that comes out, it'll come out after Survive Block Island meltdown is over. So you're definitely gonna wanna catch up

and see all this stuff because then you're gonna get it from inside perspective. Exactly, and Jeff is there kinda like egging it along and it's very, it's super fun. It's interesting to me watching the contestants in meltdown because there are people who point blank in their talking interviews say, I've never watched Survivor, I didn't watch season one

of SBI, I don't know what I'm in for, it's like, man, you are fucking shooting yourself in the foot. Yeah, yeah. I've learned a lot from season one. And I see people already making mistakes. I'm like, why did you do that? Like this makes no sense. And some people are obviously there just to cause chaos.

And just to try to stir stuff up. And it's, I mean, but that's every reality show. There's always that one precious, like can I make get a debatulers and paradise? I don't really want this in bachelor's. That's right. New season of bachelor and paradise,

certain soon. There we go. You have to watch SBI meltdown and then listen to this fuck face thing. Because, I also... The lead of it where Andrew talks about his approach to going in day one is the fucking craziest shit and it's just the beginning. There's also...

Wild. Something I found out too, because I was looking at the comments on the show, Meltdown. And a lot of people were mentioning Andrew's screen. And so I went in back and I listened to that episode of Fuckface where you guys talk about it. And apparently Andrew was playing on a like a smaller window, window version of the game. Andrew played it in windowed mode on a controller. On a controller.

And if you watched the first episode, you see that he does something because you were playing on a controller and you accidentally click a button. It's so funny. He goes in. You have to watch the show just to listen to this one episode because it is so. It's just Andrews like it's perfect master strokes while he like hammers nails into his feet. It is so beautiful. It's so beautiful. I can't wait to hear that It is so beautiful. It's so beautiful. I can't wait to hear that. Oh, it's great. It's so good.

I can't wait to watch the rest of the season. Yeah, it's very exciting. Oh, boy. All right, well, let's wrap this up. Thanks for watching. Thanks, Jupy. We'll be back next week. Go follow Jupy.
