Yeah. See what happens when you plug everything at the top, and I have plenty of time just to hang out. They not to worry about it like the end-old,
Starting point is 00:05:54 do we remember this? Achievement Hunter Live. Off-top in New York next week. Get tickets at RTX. Are you going to that? See, I find out tomorrow. I might be in New York. If you're in New York, buy a ticket and come see me. You. Maybe. Okay, Gus, now we got all that stuff out of the way and you can start the show. I'm talking to Chat. Samuel Labber. I give him a name for his barber shop quartet.
Starting point is 00:06:18 What is it? The hot pockets. Ooh, that's a good one. That was not bad. I want to make fun of it. That's good. I'm going to name me it. That's good. I'm going to name me things like animal.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah. Oh, should we talk about that? I don't know. I feel like people are going to find anything. I put the privacy on it. OK. I feel like we could. Do you want to?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Did you leave a geocache to the name? Do you want to? OK, here's the thing. If we're about to reveal this thing, you can't and you find this thing. You can't spread it around. This has to be just for you. You can message Gus directly and say,
Starting point is 00:06:51 hey, pretty cool. And that's it. But that's it. You can't spread it around. You want to, are you gonna, you want to talk about it? So we were thinking about domains before this website started.
Starting point is 00:07:01 And this, OS had been for sure to use. Before RTP started right now, like you're like what 10 15 minutes ago. It's one of our sponsors. And I said, I should register the real name that Ann must stands for. I should register that domain. Is there a way to search and you haven't given away yet? By name of who owns a domain. I put can I search guzzarol? I put the privacy on so that like it's not like. Well, so excited.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You probably won't be able to answer this, but has someone gotten it right yet? No, but I have seen, I've seen another one that was really close. Really? So there have been two that have been incredibly close, no? No, I have no idea. I made a really good guess this last week.
Starting point is 00:07:40 We did an episode on Friday that'll be out for next week. And I made the guess of animals. And I thought that was a good guess. That's a good guess. It is. You know what? It is a good guess. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Because you think it's going to be a bunch of different words. And we've since found out that it is fewer than four. It does each letter stand for a word. There is no word that starts with a letter N. But it is part of the first real word or like there is no word that starts with the letter N. See it's like the fucking red alert with this guy. We're gonna guess it. We're gonna guess it. It's gonna be the scene for the Batman, is it in Spanish? My God.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Is it in correct Spanish? You are, Alrata. There is no words in Spanish. My God, this guy has 500 followers. Holy shit! Forage monster. What does it mean when you say no word starts with what we Did a dot condom mean at least like is the
Starting point is 00:08:50 I don't want to say I don't want to say yeah, I don't want to say I'm not even so what we've surmised is that The first word starts with the letter a and the letter n is within the first word. That's what we think with n But not immediately following the a don't know See what I mean? Huh, okay. So I guess animals. And, okay, I can see that. Because all the letters line up, Barbara.
Starting point is 00:09:14 And then M-A. And, well, this implies that M stands for word and A stands for word. That's the implication, however, guess is KG Riddler's style. Riddler. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe in season three he'll tell us that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And that's right, we're silent. And was inside all of us. It's right where a seasonal point. The end is silent like pneumonia. Backwards. It's a W. It's upside down. Yo, shit. If you write it in this font and look at it upside down.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I was trying to think if there's like a word that's like, and apostrophe, like it would be like, Malady. And pretty good. No, and Malady and Malady. It's a fun.
Starting point is 00:09:59 We did an episode this last Friday, but we had to do it in the afternoon because Jeff's calendar was so backed up. And he's like, this is the only time I can do it. And we're in the middle of a production. Can we say we're in the middle of a production? Does it matter? I wouldn't. Oh, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:10:11 We're in the middle of a production right now. And that's why I'm here. Jeff is like, you're here because I forgot to ask anyone to be on the podcast. And it was Saturday. And we were already texting. And I was like, oh, what did you go on the podcast? And then that's also why you guys are there.
Starting point is 00:10:27 And then you're there, you too. So we did a remote episode for Anma that comes out next week. And I think it was a really cool episode because it ended up being about, usually it's kind of like, what's in like this little pocket of where we go get like a cup of coffee? And it's other, like this new episode that'll come out
Starting point is 00:10:44 is more like really talking about restaurants and bars from all over it just goes in so many different directions. Oh man. Gus has a grudge with peteries I wasn't familiar with. I don't like peteries. You don't like it? Like you don't like their food or the design of their buildings. Oh listen to animals.
Starting point is 00:11:00 In the next episode of Animal to find out this one day. I actually have been listening to my finally listen to the one you guys did at RTX, where... Someone leaked that audio. We're gonna get on record it. Who did it? It's on, I know who had cast plans. I'm gonna leak this. We're gonna find them.
Starting point is 00:11:18 We'll find the Ritler. They put you a much audio texture on there. They were trying to copy our stuff. It sounded like the person recording it, what like had the microphone by them. They hear them like swallowing. I feel free. It's not like it was recorded on someone's phone
Starting point is 00:11:34 that they put on the table. I think somebody made a topic on this umbrella that was like, I don't like when they do these live episodes. They always sound so bad. Listen to Ann, but this is really kind of like, not a good example man. Yeah, I know. I know all the points.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Bad example. Art's IP and off topic those weeks. Great examples of why they work. Not that one. Face Jam was a great episode. Oh, Face Jam was so good that week. It was. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:56 There wasn't the equipment to record our mics. So someone probably recorded you on a phone. So and then it got. And then they leaked the Hector website and they uploaded it every minute. It's crazy. I hope they didn't get access to the Anva domain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:10 They know the secrets. No. But, but, yeah, it's cool to hear that RTX story told from 2015, we had to evacuate the building. It did, yeah. Yeah, it's easy. I had actually forgotten about that. That it was so like kind of weird at the moment, and then like the rest of the week and I had actually forgotten about that. It was so like kind of weird at the
Starting point is 00:12:25 moment and then like the rest of the weekend, I kind of forgot about it. We're not about our meetings. Yes, we didn't forget about it. Yeah, I could see I can see why. But I just remember it being the joke is like, can't believe Meg 64 pulled the fire out. That was the meme for it. Yep. Man, that I think I've only missed a couple of RTX's fun convention. I really liked it this year. It was great. I got nothing but good things to say about it.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I love the size of it. Like, we could just hang out. Like, we could hang out at the voodoo booth. And like, yeah, took pictures and some things. I think Brian Gar was there the whole time. I show these Brian Gar. So we got done with RTP. And I'm like, I'm going to walk over the voodoo booth.
Starting point is 00:13:04 And he's like, oh, where's that? And I went, oh oh you ever found the booth that gives free beer and he went where and then I Took him there and he what that is that was it. He put it. It's fucking flag. Did he wear your sunglasses the whole time? Absolutely. Yes, okay, they were Eric. Okay. Yeah. Oh, I gave him. Yeah, he had those they look good on him. Oh, yeah Absolutely. Yeah, he he looks looks good in that kind of sunglasses, where it's like that big frame with like the colored lens. They look like the Robert Downey Jr. glasses. Yes, yeah, that kind of style. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:13:32 But yeah, no, I agree. It was like the perfect size this year to come back to an in-person RTX. It didn't feel like too overwhelming, but it also felt like, oh, shit, I've missed this. It was great. Yeah. You're able to make time for everyone, right? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You get like, I don't know. You go to like packs or something, or you go to like a larger convention where it's like, oh, it's like 50,000 people. And it's like, all right, good luck meeting anyone. There's just no fucking time. You're part of one thing to the other, whatever. This it was like, I can kind of like post up on the floor somewhere. People would like stop and go, hey, can I get a picture? Then a line would form and it's like, I'll just see this through.
Starting point is 00:14:04 It's like just be there for like an hour, take pictures and stuff. I don't know if I saw Jordan once at our T.S. I'm rusty with conventions because I was there, I was there on Saturday, that's when all my stuff was and why I was wiped out by the end of it. Oh really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 It was like it's just a bunch of stuff back to back to back. Yeah, it was like everything was dense and I was like not used to go into conventions and fucking went to a Casino Camino after everything and was like fall on a sleep halfway through my burger. And it was like 7pm which burger did you get? I'm a KC burger guy. That one's my go to.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I'm a Buffalo burger. Buffalo burger's good. Buffalo burger's best. Yeah, I was spent after rtx 2. Like more so than I am always rillow. I'm a Buffalo burger. Buffalo burger's good. Buffalo burger's the best. Yeah, I was spent after our chicks too. Like more so than I am always spend after it. But like, I think I had 12 or 13 events that I was part of. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And I remember thinking like, either I'm really rusty at conventions or I haven't done a convention since I was 30, I guess. With the last Rattiex, I was 30 years old. Now I'm 33. I had the same realization where I was like, oh no, I'm getting old. Yeah, my body can't handle it anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yeah, 30, huh? Yeah, that's right. It must be real tough, huh? Turn 32 soon. Oh, not to heat praise on you, Gus, but. That's good. Please don't. But I am also a big fan of the animal podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Oh, it's very good. It's rare for me to compliment anyone in this company, but it's been a lot of fun to do. And I think going to different locations has helped it. I have an idea that I've told Eric that I want to do for like a special episode. And I think even when we do home recordings, like we did for the one that comes out next week,
Starting point is 00:15:40 it just takes on a real different vibe. Yeah, it's a... Every episode I'm always like, shit, what have we talk about? Oh, like, I always see. That's me with Face Jam. I was like, man, I hope we can pull something out. I feel like you can like put Michael in a room
Starting point is 00:15:55 and he'll just go. Yeah, and then, and then, Also, would you guys have a subject? Yes, right? Yeah, sometimes it is a subject and then sometimes we're reading the press material and Michael makes a joke and then we refine that for about 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I don't know why that podcast keeps coming back around to dunking on West Ellis for like licorice pizza. Licorice pizza in the green night. What the fuck is licorice pizza? Is that movie by Paul Thompson? I thought you actually met licorice pizza. No, no, no. It's like he might.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, he'll freak. I don't know why, but we just keep going back in a circle on that. I can't bring myself to watch Licorice Pizza. Honestly, no interest. I really, I love Paul Thomas Anderson. I don't think he turns into a bad movie. I think he does a great job creating like an atmosphere
Starting point is 00:16:38 and he's a great director. And I do think he does a great job with Licorice Pizza. I don't think it's worth your time and I don't think he'll enjoy it. Okay. That's it. I don't think it's a your time and I don't think you'll enjoy it. Okay. That's it. I don't think it's a bad movie. I don't think you're the audience for it.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I'm going to watch it. I'm going to show it. I'm going to show it. Okay. You show me. It is. I left ultimately disappointed and then right after, like within like a week after, I think Boeenaeats was playing it, Alamo, because they showed all of like Paul Thomas Anderson's old movies
Starting point is 00:17:06 and I watched Boogie Nights and it immediately, like it starts and I just went, this is a much better movie. Boogie Nights is good. Fucking it starts, it's so loud at the beginning. Oh, it's the very first, what's the very beginning of Boogie Nights? I'm a very funny story, but,
Starting point is 00:17:20 bye bye bye, bye bye bye, the Boogie Nights and then it's the, that is Paul Thomas Anderson's movie where he goes, oh, you think, you think Goodfellas has a really long follow shot. I'll fucking show you what has a really long follow shot. He does like four. Yeah. And so it's the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You know the first time I saw a book in this. Oh, I know the first time you saw, where you've had an idea about what you thought what you were thinking about, not what you were expected. It was at Eric's house. Is that really a movie you want to put on with? Boogie nights came on and we were flipping through channels and it landed. We're like years ago. Seven years, six years ago.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And then later on Boogie Night. Back in San Diego. Yep. Lana on Boogie nights went, oh fucking Boogie Night. Tell you, we'll watch it. And then it's the part we're watching and watching and they just go, what's this, what the fuck is? And then it's the part where Little Bill rings in 1980. Oh, yeah, yeah. He takes himself out the game where he, uh, he, uh, he,
Starting point is 00:18:15 uh, well, you may make me kill himself in the movie. And, um, I was going to watch it. That's fine. It's the halfway point. Yeah, that's of a three hour movie. Yeah, that's a three hour movie that's pushing 25 years old. Yes, I also thought it was gonna be like, Saturday night, Viver. It's like, I thought this movie was about dancing. Yeah. Well, kind of.
Starting point is 00:18:36 The movie is 25 years old, came out in 97. Yes, it did. Burrino's, Burrino's come back. That's hard to watch that movie if you're not prepared and it's mood for that movie. Let me tell you, is it going baby? That's such a good movie. Probably one of my favorite movies.
Starting point is 00:18:50 See, he's like, I think, you know, Paul Thompson has some great films like that. There will be blood, which in great, total opposites from each other. But yeah, there's just somewhere I'm like, I don't care, and Lickrich pizza. Just watching the promosal Lickrich pizza, I was like, what was a Phantom thread?
Starting point is 00:19:05 I was really excited for it. And I ended up not caring for it. Yeah, I agree. Oh, I saw that. It was great performance, great singular performance. And, you know, a great atmosphere in a movie, ultimately, that I don't really care for. That was also a, it was part of the atmosphere
Starting point is 00:19:23 of movies were all about, what is it, Munchhausen by Proxy? Yes. The like poisoning somebody and like to get attention or whatever or to like care for them. Cause there were like three things that were featured that situation that came out all at the same time. There was like a Hulu show and then like an Amazon movie.
Starting point is 00:19:41 There's an HBO thing too. Like do come on. With Amy Adams or something. I forget what it was called. Too much. A hoolushed. Sharp objects. Oh, yeah. That's right.

I know we're all way more cognizant about burnout here in recently and I've been doing this job a long time. I know all about burnout 19 years. It's a long time. That feeling where it's too hard to get out of bed, too much to start the day, overwhelming dread. You have associated with something that didn't make you feel the way it
Starting point is 00:21:19 did before. It's hard. We've all been there. We associate burnout with work, but that's not the only cause. Any of our roles in life can lead us to feel burned out and better help online therapy wants to remind you to prioritize yourself.

Starting point is 00:23:23 You wanna talk about great performances. You want to talk about great performances. I do want to talk about great performances. The rehearsal. Yeah. I can't. Yeah. Have you guys already watched it? We watched it the first episode.
Starting point is 00:23:34 The first episode came out on Friday, I guess it's the new Nathan Fielder series that just debuted on HBO. I wasn't sure, from the promos, I wasn't sure how they were gonna approach it. I didn't even watch the promos. I wouldn't blind. It's like one, I guess one story slash person per episode. There's no like I would imagine. Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's going to be a through thread of Oh, you never know with this guy. It would make sense for there to be based off
Starting point is 00:24:00 the premise. Right. I just wasn't sure if it was going to be like the whole season was going to be about building up to something or it was going to be like the whole season was going to be about building up to something or it was going to be a bunch of individual stories. But it's a very strange premise to try to describe. But if you had to describe it would be, what if you needed to have a conversation with someone needed to? Yes. I don't need to.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Like you needed to tell them something or confess something or whatever it was. But in order to prepare yourself for or confess something or whatever it was but in order to Prepare yourself for it you rehearsed it and went through every possible decision tree in the conversation At to the point there is with the Nathan field there to the point where Nathan field Rebuilds and recreates a one-to-one replica of the place where you will do this Hires actors and actresses to study the people you will be talking to. And has those actors meet these people that you're going to have the conversation with undercover to like study their mannerisms and way of speaking. And it's just like it's and it builds a giant flow chart for every possible way that the conversation can go and be like to have the optimal outcome for this uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:25:00 conversation. This is where we have to memorize everything. These are the beats you have to go through in order to reach the end. Yeah, it is incredible. And then the little do you know, I do that for every podcast I want. Eric laughs. The whole thing is just the amount of research that is put into preparing, right? Not even just for the conversation, but for the pitch to the person to convince them
Starting point is 00:25:30 to take part in the rehearsal, is mind blowing, it is so good. Yeah, I don't wanna give away too much more. Because the reveals are great. I can see why you wouldn't like it. Oh, I can't, there's no way. I reached a limit, I think, on that sort of- Over-preparedness?
Starting point is 00:25:46 No, like the cringe, I don't like that word, but that's sort of like the hide behind your pillow, like, shot in front of a kind of, like that kind of thing. I really reached a limit on the amount that my body can absorb of that before I make me physically ill. If I can go, if you don't mind.
Starting point is 00:26:03 The thing I realized, or the takeaway I took after watching the first episode is that you build up these things in your head to be way worse than they are. Yes. 100%. Yeah, as you learn, as this, you rehearse and as you go through the, actually executing
Starting point is 00:26:17 on the conversation, it's like, oh, it wasn't that bad. Yeah. It's like, in your mind, the thought of it and the idea of these things is awful and like just like wants to like crush you. I always think worst case scenario. Right, but then you do the not knowing and it's like oh this was not a big deal. So in the end it works out for the person who's having this conversation. I don't want to say necessarily one way or another. I'm also there's just one episode out now. Sure. Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:40 it's hard to say what what else is going to happen but I think it's actually a good lesson at at one point you know they walk through various scenarios when they're doing the rehearsal Throughout the episode and I think at one point they do like all right Let's do a run through as if the worst possible Outcome for this could happen this person gets mad and they like blow up at you and they want to end this friendship Probably blah blah and so it kind of prepares you for that moment of just like, oh, that actually wasn't, even the worst case scenario wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But they build a replica of the place
Starting point is 00:27:13 where this conversation, that's like, they're gonna have this conversation at a bar. So they like 3D scan the bar and rebuild it in a set, down to a lot of work, torn chairs and stools, and like, they- It literally is a one for one. Yeah, you can't tell when they're in the rehearsal space versus when they're in the actual bar. It's like they built like the, the,
Starting point is 00:27:31 the beat of flag on the wall is folded the exact same way, like the creases in it. I'm impressed that Nathan Filder was able to pitch this in a way to convince the studio to give him money for this. Well, between Nathan for you, he was also a producer on how to with John Wilson. Someone said, I think Trevor was guessing that this was a concept for an episode of Nathan for you.
Starting point is 00:27:49 That was too high budget. Absolutely. They definitely did. Absolutely. Yeah. We have run again. It kind of reminds me of the reverse of the Smokers allowed Nathan for you episode where it's smokers allowed.
Starting point is 00:28:01 They took a moment and tried to recreate it and pass it off as performance. Right. But this, they're like recreating the event before it happens. Right. Trying to lead up to it. I'll make a deal with you, Eric. Yeah. You watched this episode. No deal. And in exchange, that cat that you keep sending me, I'll make it my lock screen for a week. Wow. Can you pass it up, Eric? Boy, that cat's pretty cool. I'll throw in, I'll throw in a writer. Wow. Can you pass it up, Eric? Oh boy. And that cat's pretty cool. I'll throw in a writer. I'll stop forwarding Marvel Funko pin. Funko pop messages to you every time I get them.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Me and Jordan's only text conversational. We see each other once a week, whatever. Only text conversations to each other. Outside of a group, Texas, Jordan going, treasure truck Marvel fun copin' on sale get it while it's hot and it's like I die you buy this no no no no I just know he doesn't want them I'm like him sending me pictures of the cat he knows I don't want that I gotta get a taste of his own medicine whole whole road whole rude you I think is the cat on Instagram. She's like a one of his
Starting point is 00:29:01 hairless cats but it's real fat real chunky. And it like always looks into your soul. It looks like he wants to party. Yeah. What is our always very dilated? It's like, what if what if a Thanksgiving turkey was a pet? And then that's the whole thing. That's the whole thing. And then Nathan Fielder goes through every possible interaction you can have with this
Starting point is 00:29:21 cat. I will think on your, your, your bargain, okay, because I cannot, I cannot commit. The offer comes off the table at the end of the podcast. It's such a good show. It's your loss if you don't want it. But I can't even watch like, how to, HBO Max, right? Yeah, I can't even watch how to, John.
Starting point is 00:29:39 How to is incredible. I can't do it. I can't do it. It's brutal. It's like, I don't want to spend time with these people. Like when it's like, him and like the beach or whatever, spring break. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And he's like, see, what is we're talking about? That's it, and you do this for every episode, and people go, oh, that one. Is that the one where you met the CEO of Bang? He, like, he meets this dude and he keeps talking to the guy and it's like, I don't wanna spend time with anyone like this. At all. And then my wife's favorite fucking show is like Veepe.
Starting point is 00:30:06 And Veepe is a show where no one wins. Yeah, that's great. It is. These people are relentlessly beat down and you think there's going to be some kind of victory. Nothing. Not only are they, they are just, but they're beating each other down, they're just, they're in the mud and seeing how deep they can pull each other.
Starting point is 00:30:25 It's miserable. Have you ever watched Death of Stalin? No, that movie is so good. That movie rules. It's by the same guy who does Veepe. And it's just, it's all like American and English actors playing the leaders of Soviet Russia when Stalin dies and then all like the power vacuum afterward.
Starting point is 00:30:46 And it acts like an episode of VEEP. There's a great scene at his funeral where they're all standing around like and greeting people, they're mourning and stuff, and they're just having this conversation about who invited the fucking bishops, and it's like being passed around. Steve Bouchembe plays one of the characters.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I think he plays a cruise chef. It's so good. I highly recommend it. Very funny. Steve Buschemi. Yeah. The most distinctive looking human. And the entire world.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I love in the in Fargo when they're talking to like one of the people that he ran into and it's one of the cops and they're like, what do you look like? He's just kind of funny looking. Yeah. Funny looking how? Just funny looking. Yeah, he seems something. He'd be like tough to like describe if he wasn't, you know, an actor in Yoshti Boshemi.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah. I think it's really weird that he's in Sopranos. For like, I wasn't not expecting him when I was watching you recently. Totally like by the character and everything too. Like, that's great. That's a great. Who was his character's name Tony Tony. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, and it makes sense why he ends up Playing Nucky in what's in power god?
Starting point is 00:31:53 It's winter was a writer on soprano So like that that that was interesting for me because I I watched boardwalk empire first That was like my first Terrence winter exposure and then I went back and watch sopranos. I'm like, hey, it's that guy who shows up in Borough again, fire later. You should have, do you watch Deadwood? Oh, I love Deadwood. I feel like Deadwood. Just recently rewatched it for the second time.
Starting point is 00:32:13 I feel like Deadwood's gone. I never got into that. Oh, really? It's definitely slow. And there's a hump that you have to get over. Because the language feels like it's difficult, but it's just the way they spoke and no one's smart. You have to realize that everyone's dumb.
Starting point is 00:32:31 See, that was a big thing when it clicked for me. It's like living in 2022. It's absolutely. A big thing that clicked for me with the sopranos is that it feels like it's this high stakes drama, but really, it's a comedy with a bunch of people who are just getting in their own way. Like the scene where there's a part
Starting point is 00:32:51 where later in the series, Tony Spryne was in a coma and spoiler. And for a fucking fight. Don't worry, he's fine. But one of his friends, Polly Cubsim, and they're like, just remember the doctor say, stay positive. It really helps even though, you know, he's in a coma and he comes in and he sees him and goes,
Starting point is 00:33:11 woof, ball road, he looks terrible. And then he's just sitting there and he's like complaining about all the, all the shit in his life. And like, there's this like episode arc of like, what's going on inside Tony's head in the coma. And at this point, he's just like, there's somebody in like, he's in a hotel room and someone in the other room is talking.
Starting point is 00:33:29 He's like, shot the fuck up. And it's Paulie's voice. I'm just trying to get the other room. Yeah, so good. It's awesome. So funny. It's a great show where it feels high stakes because you buy into the character,
Starting point is 00:33:41 but it's incredibly low stakes when they go and do stuff like they try to shake down, or be equivalent of like a Starbucks. And they're like, yeah, hey, you know, protection money in the neighborhood. And the manager of the Starbucks is like, look, every dollar, every coffee bean, everything's accounted for, like,
Starting point is 00:33:57 this isn't me going, no, I'm not gonna pay you. This is me going, if I do this, they'll fire me, and there'll just be another guy, and you still won't get what you want. And they walk out and they just go, so much for the little guy. And it's just like the little guy. What's his world coming to you? It's so good.
Starting point is 00:34:17 It's fucking great, show. So, Ron is like one of the best ever made. It is so much good TV. Yeah. There's so much good stuff to choose from. Including the rehearsal. We also speaking, I know we're talking about movies and TV a lot I'm sure we'll be on it. It's a weekly podcast. It's a weekly podcast. Talk about what you want to talk to them right. Well, I was gonna tell Gus
Starting point is 00:34:33 that we watched first episode of the bear. Oh, oh cool. Yeah, which I was not expecting that at all like I we went in blind to this show And I had no idea what it was about, and I was just like, this feels, we haven't gotten through the next few episodes yet. And at first, I was like, it feels a little uncut gems, like, because it's like so much constantly, and like, but it's very interesting. It's all very, like, very close and stressful, and a lot of talking all the time.
Starting point is 00:35:03 And I did not like uncut gems, so I'm just like, but this I. And I did not like uncut gem, so I'm just like, but this I'm okay with. Well uncut gem, like the Am Sounder character was so unlikable in that. Like here in the in the bear, the only really unlikable character at this point is like cousin.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Yeah, I think that guy. Who's not in the bad near the end. Yeah. I think right, because he like stands up for, yeah, for car me. It's a great show. Plus it's only like roughly 30 minute episodes. So it's easy just burn through. It's not a whole lot of them.
Starting point is 00:35:26 It's eight episodes. We also started randomly watching what we do in the shadows. Oh, great show. You guys seen that? Yeah. 17CNP. Everyone recommends that show. Yeah, I actually had started watching it and couldn't get into it. But then once you really latch on to the archetypes and everyone's character, it really takes on. And you could definitely feel Tyico Atiti in it. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Like so, so heavily. In a good way. Yeah. And I like that they, for the theme song, they kept the song from the movie, because I always like that part. I watched that movie for the first time on a flight from Australia to New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:36:00 just before, like, this is like six months before it was in theaters in America. Oh. Oh. Yeah., I was like this movie school Man, yeah, that was the one where the trip where we got the chocolate milk in willing to milk Yeah, I saw I saw the milk in a grocery store here the other day they have the milk and I said they have the milk I got to go get that milk that milk was good. I think it was at the, I wanna see, it was at the central market that I saw. What was it, Whittakers? Whittakers and Lewis Road Creamery, I believe.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Mm-hmm. We went, Jordan and I did this meetup in New Zealand. God, like eight years ago now. It's been 14 years, yeah. Jesus. And like it was like us and just like a bunch of people from the community came out, which like hung out like in a park and like this person brought us each
Starting point is 00:36:48 A bottle of chocolate milk Which sounds like nothing but like this person pulled out the chocolate milk from the bag every was a murmur through the crowd I remember the milk. They got the milk the milk. The milk. He found the milk Apparently, it's like very good. It's very good and it's extremely hard to find. It's like, it's a collaboration between the chocolate company and the milk company and the very little of it. It was a thing where people were lining up every day
Starting point is 00:37:13 like when grocery stores were opening to get it and they were selling out as soon as the store's opened. And this guy worked there and they fell off a truck. What? I don't understand how, but you have to try the milk. It was so good. But that doesn't, like, I can't wrap my head around the ceiling for milk.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Has to be so low. I should have bought it when I saw it. I'll bring it. So you can try it. Yeah. Okay. It's milk. Listen. Just let people like what they like.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I'm not saying you can't like it. I'm saying I don't understand how you guys are going, oh,'s milk. Listen, just let people like what they like. I'm not saying you can't like it. I'm saying I don't understand how you guys are going, oh, the milk. It's because you haven't had it. I feel like you put a scarcity model on anything and it becomes. But that's what I agree with that. I agree with the scarcity of it.
Starting point is 00:37:56 The scarcity of it. All the scarcity of it. All the scarcity of it. But like, but it's chocolate. It's like, you know, on fuckface, we talk about like cosmic crisp apples were like a thing. We're like, oh, we heard these are like great apples. And I ate it.
Starting point is 00:38:10 And I'm like, seven at 10. Like, you blind up six apples in front of me and I take a bite out of each one. I think you need to find the happiness and things. It's not the happiness that I'm looking for. I'm looking for something exquisite. If you're talking about, wow, this apple is so much better than other apples.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And I eat it I go it's an apple someone in chat Mask all king says I was there at Wellington It's easier to find now it had just started in releasing at that time. Yeah, that was a brand new product. Yeah This is a good barometer for like how much you would like enjoy things that other people okay? Enjoy what do you think about breakfast cars? Oh, I like the sound of breakfast cars when they do the thing.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I think the breakfast cars. Beat, beat breakfast cars. That is great. You can take a look. Every, every, every stitch I see is like the breakfast cars and then somebody about to go, this is why it sucks.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And then somebody cutting that out, going like, hey, let people enjoy the breakfast cars. I, two of them on TikTok. I literally managed three TikTok account. Well, you got to get a breakfast car. Beep beep breakfast cars. Be beep, they make breakfast cars. So it's a car made out of breakfast.
Starting point is 00:39:14 And then it's like a hash brown patty on top and then an egg and then, and then you eat it all in one. No, you just put it on a little like you put it on a tin and you make it. And you make a roll and you go beep, beep breakfast cars. Be beep, breakfast cars beat beat beat or you can't How does it stick together?
Starting point is 00:39:27 No, they're rolling. Yeah, just rolling like a car would. You should really look this up very much. Very beat breakfast cars. You beat breakfast cars. Breakfast cars are good. Yeah, I like breakfast cars. Also, like my favorite thing on TikTok right now is just getting like little nuggets of
Starting point is 00:39:41 this story about the homophobic Star Wars puppet. What? We're on different topics, I think. I have no idea what's up. I've been out of this conversation for minutes and parents are great because whole whole things are so good. It's like Star Wars puppet.
Starting point is 00:39:57 It's like a real mystery that I'm trying to piece together without seeking out more information. Okay. So the first piece of information I got was just somebody going, can't believe that Star Wars puppet turned out to be homophobic, guys. And then I was like, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:40:15 And it scrolling some more. And then seeing a stitch of just a puppet being like, hey guys, I just want to apologize. And then a stitch being like, who would have thought that the Star Wars puppet was homophobic? No, what did it say? Does he also think the election is stolen apparently?
Starting point is 00:40:29 I don't know, here's what I know. Are you looking it up? There is. I'm trying to find information about it. There's a puppet on TikTok that does Star Wars stuff. And apparently, it's something homophobic and had to apologize. My latest discovery was just a TikTok of two other puppets
Starting point is 00:40:48 being like, hey guys, we're here to just talk about some things going on in the community. So there are other Star Wars puppets. Who are back in the month? Who are, I think they're also trying to distance themselves. Yeah, they're trying to still be Star Wars puppets, but not be on the same side. They don't want the water poison.
Starting point is 00:41:04 They don't want the well poison. You know, the GOP right now is just like, cancel culture, extend it, even the puppets are getting canceled. So when will these lefties stop? You just have to find, you have to find the stuff that you really like on TikTok and then tell it of stuff that you don't like where it's baristas filming two sides of the same
Starting point is 00:41:25 conversation going, hello, how are you? I want a large cuff. This interaction never happened. It's okay. It's therapy and it should go better help.com, but you should like really, you don't have to film it. It's okay. You just hold on that and then you hit not interested and you get more stuff like breakfast
Starting point is 00:41:41 cars. You get breakfast cars like a lot of skate videos. I just learned all about the Star Wars puppet. You don't spoil it for me. I'm on my own adventure now. I know, I know what you're talking about. I'm actually there is nothing better than TikTok drama. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Jordan sent me, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, I want to know about this and I went, yeah, and he sent me some stuff and then he sent me the last video that he had. And I went, this is my friend, Jomi. And he went, yeah, he went, he's on it.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Oh, so he knows about this. Great. Was it J, Joe Me. And he went, yeah, he went, oh, he's on it. So he knows about this. Right. Was it Joe Me at our TX? Yeah, yeah, he came. We went to Casino Al Camino, and it'd been a long time since we'd done an in-person convention, so we started doing this. And then, oh, I remember.
Starting point is 00:42:16 And then, and then, we just kept doing it at the bar. We're just like, what's like the late, what's just out of the zeitgeist? What's just crested? And it's just like, you haven't the late, what's just out of like the zeitgeist, like what's just crested and it's just like, you haven't even thought about it in a year and it was that. And then we were with our friend Richard's like assistant editor and she just all of a sudden went and that was the rest of the weekend. That was seeing Trevor and Barbara at this party and going, Hey, it was great. That's every convention you need something that is like an inside joke that gets you through,
Starting point is 00:42:48 either gets you through it or is just something funded like into the ground. Like, do you remember fan expo, like 2012, being across from that DVD booth, and it would play the same trailer real? And we were just recited. Yep, we were recited. It was that in Gangnam style.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Gangnam style, yeah, Gangnam style was everywhere because it just like was popping off. But like we would stop what we were doing every time when the fucking Hunger Games part would come up. It was like, I'm volunteer. I'm volunteer, I'm volunteer, I'm a volunteer, I'm a volunteer. And then we'd be like, so what shirt do you want? Yeah, it goes, you mean Jack?
Starting point is 00:43:23 And I think also someone from the community was helping out. Yeah, I think. Yeah. Yeah. But that was that was a fun time. I remember there was 10 years ago, wild 10 years ago. That's a I was thinking like, um, Comic Con's coming up. And that is 10 years from when I met Eric for the first time.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Yep. Like that's it. So 10 year anniversary. Mega 64 is doing Comic Con. And they're excited about it because it's the first time in three years when they can go. It's so they're actually looking for it too. Like, yeah, we're the first time in a long time. We're looking forward to Comic Con.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I think they're going to go. I think they're going to go. Why were we looking forward to this? They couldn't go before because of COVID or? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you. You can't give up a booster. I went there in 2019.
Starting point is 00:44:01 You were there also in 2019, right? We were on the boat. Sanio Comic Con. Yeah, yeah, we did those like, and that was like, that's awesome. That was awesome. There was no Comic-Con since then. Yeah, that's crazy. That's so weird to think about.
Starting point is 00:44:12 That's really weird. They were like, we did a small one in November and it's like, you did a what? And it was, we did it after it happened. Yeah, we didn't tell anyone. That rule, that one Comic-Con where they're like, you guys wanna do press interviews? And I went, yeah, and so I just had my friend Andrew help me set stuff up
Starting point is 00:44:26 and chain was there. And we just set stuff up, Drew came and we shot stuff. And then we rode back on the boat on like the last day. And Drew wanted just getting the car, he's like, let's just fucking go, let's go. And I of like whiskey that he'd put like blackberries or something in and we Road on the big boat that we were on on the top deck In the San Diego Bay as the sun was going down. We're drinking this bottle of whiskey and dolphins were jumping around the and Drew and I
Starting point is 00:45:04 Like admitting when I'm wrong, but I will tell you that you were right. That's how it's gonna be. I was wrong. You were right. It was incredible. It fucking ruled. That was the same year.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I don't know if it was the same boat. Were we on the same boat? It was the interview boat where you guys don't sound like you're on the same boat right now. Me, Sophie and Nathan just went on like a different boat ride during that weekend, like to look at the dolphins, just like that, to see them like flip through the water
Starting point is 00:45:31 and all that stuff. There were multiple people on that boat who were getting sick. Yes, yeah. And there was a guy vomiting into a clear plastic bag. Oh, wow. And it was Pepto Bismill paint. Ah! You need to take it because you're new. You're trying to stop it. Wow, and it was Pepto Bismal paint They have a lot of cruises are like little like day cruise things in San Diego like in the San Diego Bay Take a hornblower cruise you can get like an unlimited champion brunch mimosa brunch thing and then you just get
Starting point is 00:46:03 But with hammered on a boat seem it's you watch as but with people on the boat seem. It's not bad. I love it. It's a great feeling. I feel like it either it either. Yeah, it counsels each other or it makes it way more. If you're on a choppy day
Starting point is 00:46:14 and you don't know it's gonna be a choppy day, it's a really, it's tough. It can be tough. You should take drama mean like regardless. It's gonna like sea sickness.
Starting point is 00:46:22 There is no escape. Yeah. You're been deep sea fishing. No, with deep sea fishing once with my grandpa He uh, he loves it. He loves hunting and fishing and a sea sea fishing like you just go farther out and you fish or what is go? I guess I don't know what's so far. You just go like you start at the land and then you just go in the water and you just keep going and like You just keep heading west and you just keep heading west. I'd be so scared. You go for it and you just keep going. And like, you just keep heading west. And you just keep heading west. They're like, I'd be so scared. So you go for it.
Starting point is 00:46:47 You go for it. You go west. You can't fish in the end. You go for like an hour and you're like, Jesus Christ, we're way out here. And the guy goes, yeah, I'll be there in another like 45. Jesus. You're just like two hours out from land.
Starting point is 00:47:02 And then you go to a compass. And then all of a sudden, find other boats and they're like, yeah, here's like where the fish are like really hopping today. And you go deep sea fishing and I caught like a big fucking like Mahi Mahi. Like it was awesome. It was really cool. I go and further out. I ain't going further out than Catalina.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Dude, you can't see the land and you just think this is it. You're done. You're done. I don't want to ever find you. Don't want to end up like that. That episode of King of the Hill, where they all jump off the boat, without putting the ladder down.
Starting point is 00:47:30 And then the, for some reason, boom, how her pulls the propeller off and the gas leaks. What's that fear of like big space, big open spaces? A Gorifobia. A Gorifobia is out of this. I thought that was like you're afraid to go out.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Might be the same thing. Yeah, I know it's but I get that sense a little bit with water and oh, yeah Also space to do like the idea of being floating out in space and just like that vastness that you can't even comprehend It's like terrifying. Gorifobia is just yeah open spaces Public transit shopping centers are simply being outside your home. Okay. I'm thinking of more of like Big air like the the vastness. Yeah, I'm thinking of more of like big air, like the big and the yeah, the, like being really deep under water or something. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Yeah. I felt that way flying to Japan. I think that's the only time I've ever like, like to freak out. You start having like a whole bit of a panic attack and you just go, just go down right now and this is it. Is that the thing? I started thinking about how big the Pacific Ocean is.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I start, when I start thinking about how deep the ocean, I'm doing it right now, thinking about how deep the ocean is and how there's nothing underneath us. Like there's just, there's rock, but there's a bottom. You know what I mean? And I started thinking about that. And then I think about how big I am and then I think about the size of the world
Starting point is 00:48:42 and then the universe. And then you just think about that photo from the James Webb sauce. Yeah, yeah. Where each speck is a galaxy that houses 10 billion stars. And then you start thinking about like the meetings that you have to do for like your little podcasts. And then you go, no, this matters.
Starting point is 00:48:55 It's fine. Yeah, no pressure. Enjoy it, but no pressure. There's a great video that I saw on TikTok. Nice. It wasn't the breakfast card. It wasn't the breakfast card. But I reposted on Twitter. It was this guy basically talking about that photo from the TikTok. Nice. It wasn't the breakfast car. Breakfast cars. But I reposted on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:49:05 It was this guy basically talking about that photo from the James Webb telescope. The first one they released about how like, it's just impossible to comprehend. And how like, and we're here sitting on Earth being like, my pinini is cold. And it's just like, who the fuck cares? Like, nothing matters.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Nothing. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. But then, you know, you have the vastness kind of, you think about how big everything is, and you're like, well, nothing matters. But then ultimately, if nothing matters, then it is what fine. But then, you know, you have a vastness kind of, you think about how big everything is, and you're like, well, nothing matters, but then ultimately, if nothing matters, then it is what you make of it, right? That's like, so yeah, be pissed that your pinini's cold
Starting point is 00:49:32 and then go warm up your pinini and shut the fuck up. It's fine. Don't leave comments. What are you doing? What are you doing? Here's what I think. Get the fuck out of here. You follow me, I don't follow you.
Starting point is 00:49:42 We saw a cat that was cloned yesterday. Oh, I saw you posting about that. Which one that was cloned? Which one bar? Which a nickel city. I'm gonna be a nickel city. This was the layers of this, like finding out about this cat. A lot.
Starting point is 00:49:59 It was very similar to finding out about this puppet. Yep, but we went to a nickel city peeling away the layers. Just decided to get a drink on a Saturday afternoon. It's a good time. All of a sudden I'm having a drink and I see out of the corner of my eye, a cat. There's a cat in the bar.
Starting point is 00:50:14 That's crazy. Wow, that's crazy. There's a cat in the bar. And guess here's how I'm gonna tell the story. I said, guys, there's a cat in the bar and then everyone at our table said, no way is there a cat in the bar. He's already telling the story wrong for the record.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But I'll allow him to continue. Eric, you're crazy. There's no cat at this bar. And I said, guys, there's definitely a cat at this bar. And I keep looking and I keep looking. We're all looking. I saw a dog. There was a dog at the bar.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Yeah. And they said, is the dog, oh, maybe is that? It said, no, no, no. Eric, are you confusing dogs and cats again? About 15 minutes later, a guy walks by who's sitting over by where I saw the cat. And I said, hey, man, is there a cat over there? And he went, oh yeah, and then kept walking.
Starting point is 00:50:54 And then everyone said, this man, Eric, this guy is lying. This man is a plant, Eric. That's right. I'm in on this wrong telling now. And then I said, eventually he went back to that guy, I went to a seat 15 minutes past, we got another drink. Irish coffee on like draft, like a soul shit.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Yeah, it's fucking awesome. Where is this person? Nickel city. He's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by,
Starting point is 00:51:19 he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, he's so over by, worked up the courage to go find this cat. It did, it took some liquid courage. It did, a little bit. A couple of beers and Irish coffee. Two long stars and a Irish coffee. And I said, I'm finding this cat. I walked over, there was a cat in a carrier
Starting point is 00:51:34 and I went, oh, this is the cat, I have to take a picture and I said, can take a picture of your cat. She's like, yeah, I can wake her up and I said, I don't care. I will take a picture of your sleeping cat. Take a picture of the sleeping cat and take a picture of the cat in the carrier. Excited, guys, I was right, go back and I show my friends.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I'm sure this cat. And I was like, man, I don't like to admit when I'm wrong. Yeah, but you're like, you're right. I show them picture of two pictures. The first one is picture of the cat. It's sleeping, sleeping cat. And they're like, here's this cat. It's an all white little cat.
Starting point is 00:52:02 And then I show them a second picture and I go, here's the carrier. And look, her name's Bell, the clone kitty. What? I was like, what is that mean? There's a sign on the front that says, Bell, the clone kitty. The clone kitty.
Starting point is 00:52:12 The clone kitty. It looks like a logo. Like it's like Bell written in this like cursive font and then the clone kitty. So there was investigations to be had. Did you go back? No. We were not going to ask.
Starting point is 00:52:22 The cat was actually leaving, I think. Yes. And so we had to look it up. This cat was like version four of a cat named The Three or Four. Yeah, three or four. Yeah. What did you give it the same name?
Starting point is 00:52:31 There was Chai. There was Chai 2.0. Oh, there's Bow. Yep. They clone the cat. The cat was a clone. So here's what happened when we were at the bar. Our friend, Andrew Douglas, who does art for D&D Butt,
Starting point is 00:52:45 and he's done a good morning from hell. Other stuff, storyboards. Yeah, he's awesome guy. Great guy. He's from Cleveland, Mississippi. He's a great dude. He just went, oh my God, I just found out, cloning is real.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And that cat's a clone. Yeah. And I found out that fries frozen onion rings together is called Frings. It was a big day. We weren't we were just before that talking about Frings. We were talking about getting Frings and he was like,
Starting point is 00:53:13 what's that? I didn't even like this. He all of a sudden he hit it. So we saw a cat that was a clone. Look, full on. So what? So it wasn't so we were right, though. It wasn't a cat. We're a clone cat. You're right. I was right that there was a clone like full on. So what? So it wasn't so we were right though. It wasn't a cat.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Well, a clone cat. You're right. I was right that there was a cat at the bar. It's legal. Yeah. Barbara Streisand did it. You can you can you can their services you could pay to clone cats or dogs. The problem is you don't get the you get the same.
Starting point is 00:53:38 You don't even get the same looking cat. No, it's like the same genetic cat because it's not even the same person. The shots have been really good. if they are going to pay that child white and brown. This cat that we saw Belle was all white. Mm-hmm. Did they get progressively less brown color?
Starting point is 00:53:53 Does it went through the I don't know. I didn't really get a good look. Like was the was chai brown and white. Chai 2.0 was like white with a little bit of brown. And then you know, I know it's just pure white. I don't know if that's how genetics works,
Starting point is 00:54:06 but Barbara absolutely. You know what? I think it is because if you look at the freckles on my arm, look at this, Barbara, it's really semantics. That's a bell on the left and a child on the right. Oh, they're super similar. Yeah, they're very similar. The back is where the brown is.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Also, I don't like about this progressively, like I don't like how we're talking about a game progressively white and talking about genetics is very close to some eugenics shit. Barbara's just asking who I was. I found an article in the New York Post about this cat. I really don't want my words to be taken out of the cat. Talking about the fur color of the cat.
Starting point is 00:54:39 I don't want other people taking care of it. No, but I was going to say it's a, I don't know if it has anything to do with anything or if it's unrelated, but I have a lot of freckles on my arms and my legs and all my body. My mom has more than I do, and then my grandmother has even more than she does. And I'm like, are we just diluting?
Starting point is 00:54:56 You know, moles are to be said that that's where you're lover in your past life kissed you. Aw. So think about grandma. Aw, my grandmother's so loved. All over her arms. My puppy. Every time I talk to my puppy, by the way, my grandmother, my puppy, we've told stories about her
Starting point is 00:55:16 on the podcast before. Every time she at least once or twice during our conversation goes, so how's my boyfriend? Oh, that's referring they're referring to Trevor. Yeah, boy, that's very nice. Would you ever get a clone cat? I wouldn't get a cat. So apparently she paid $25,000.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Oh, wow. And she took that thing to fucking nickel city? Hey, how much did that custom carrier cost you? Yeah, really tried. Oh, money in this cat. This cat March 16, 2017. That's when the genetics for the other cat started. It said genetics started in like March of 2017
Starting point is 00:55:49 and then 2021 or whatever is like when this cat was born or something. And it's like, damn, you call it a cat. Look, I love my pets, but like, there's so many animals that you can't, yeah, I can't, and you're not getting the same cat. Yeah, and I, yeah, it was something that I thought a lot and you're not getting the same cat. Yeah, and yeah, it was something that I thought a lot about
Starting point is 00:56:08 when Benjamin passed away. It's like, you know, like you said, there's already a lot of other animals. You're not getting the same animal. And also for this animal I loved, I felt it was, in my opinion, disrespectful to him. That's what we were saying. We were saying, if feel, I can't put my finger on why,
Starting point is 00:56:24 can't like articulate it, but it feels disrespectful. Yeah, well, if you want to clone me, go nuts. I remember being upset when I was a kid, we got a schnauzer, I was about eight years old, and the schnauzer really was attached to me. And when she died, I was like heartbroken, of course. And I was like, I can never, I can never love again, you know? You can never get another, another pet.
Starting point is 00:56:51 And then one day my mom brings home like a new dog. And I'm like, mom, it's been six months, like, I'm still grieving. How could you? But then that dog was also very attached to me. I love that dog too. So, but at the time I was like, you know, like it just, I wanted to like still process the other dog and the relationship still, but.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And you could have just cloned it. Never thought about cloning. Well, it didn't really exist more than five years ago. I don't know how is it five years old, essentially? Like, I don't think so. I don't think so to the mainstream audience of doggoers. Maybe you could start 10 years ago for a couple hundred thousand dollars for by Robert Streisand money.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Yeah. Apparently people were chatting out my dog Benjamin Pesto. He died last year. Oh yeah. Sorry you had to find out this way. Sorry to spring it out of the blue. We had Oswald show up in a video a few weeks ago. Oh really?
Starting point is 00:57:45 Yeah. Oh cool. We did a, we do these series on TikTok and Instagram and Twitter as well. We upload them everywhere. And YouTube, I guess, called a failed skill checks based on D&D things. And one of them was anal handling.
Starting point is 00:57:59 And so it's like someone failing at animal handling. And it's a little Oswald there. And I'm like, oh, I know it was a little thing. And then it attacks him. But a lot of comments were like and it's a little Oswald there. And he's like, oh, I know it was a thing. And then it attacks him. But a lot of comments were like, it's Oswald! That's funny. Star of the show. What a star.
Starting point is 00:58:13 He's like me. He hates people. It doesn't like going anywhere new. He doesn't stay home all the time. So if you're looking for something to do, Nichol City has cloned cats. Someone in chat, I forget who it was. And someone said that, oh, it was little beans. Hey, for that price, I mean, it's like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like,
Starting point is 00:58:25 it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like,
Starting point is 00:58:33 it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like,
Starting point is 00:58:41 it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, it's not like, I made a career. It's the oldest cat in history. Yeah. Yeah. Nickel city grape bar. That's a grape bar. Yeah, let's see what I've been heard of that. I see it all the time. It's like the brick facade, like the yellow sign out front.
Starting point is 00:58:51 It's like right across from where there's like a little food trailer parked there. Yeah, there's a great vegan Mexican trailer there. Oh, is it? They have a brick and mortar now. Yeah, they have a brick and mortar. That place is really, really excellent. I love that place.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Yeah, it's a, I recommend Nickel city. It's a cool bar. I think the last time we went to lunch, at least the three of us I love that place. Yeah, it's a I recommend nickel say a school bar I think the last time we went to lunch at least the three of us was at that place was that that rude truck Oh, that was like so many years ago. I was gonna. Yeah, I was gonna say it's the lunch But we haven't lunched in like three years That's true. Yeah, even a few years I think yeah, really even then before that was spotty Yeah, we're like getting it together and it was like never mind. Yeah, I remember like before you started working here. Yeah, and lunch was me, Gus and Jordan,
Starting point is 00:59:30 mm-hmm. Used to go to lunch. Like, it felt like every day together. Yeah, it was day at, at its peak, it was daily. Yeah. At least three or four times a week. Yeah, lunch crew. Now we have to make time. I know. And also everyone's schedules are so different. Like, lunch crew. Now we have to make time. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:59:45 I know. And also everyone's schedules are so different. Like all these, especially, the last time we've lacked in lunch was December 6, 2021. Oh, that's when we were, oh, we were really hoping. And the message was, that's a wishful test. Very sad Barbara cannot lunch tomorrow. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I found our last actual lunch. Wow, what was it? Was it a home slice? I? I doesn't say where we went But I see that we were going to talking about getting in the car. Okay In the car so we're in the office I'm gonna say late 2019 I'm gonna say I'm gonna say late 2018 just say March 21st
Starting point is 01:00:22 2020 March 5st 2020 March 5th 2020 I think we might have gone to that trailer because it says Barbara got nachos. Oh Wow, I mean no other place has notches. So I mean it's pretty likely So for reason I got Nicholas Barbara did eat the nachos there. Oh, that's funny. I, that does sound like something I would do. Yeah, we should do lunch again soon.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Where should we go? I went to pool burger. I'm always down to go to pool burger. Where's pool burger? What? I, at deep-eddy pool? Oh, okay. It's good.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Let's go to lunch. I'm like, like Wednesday or Friday. Oh, yeah, we got time this week, huh? I can't do Wednesday, but. Friday? Maybe Friday, yeah. Friday lunch. This is what happened to the...
Starting point is 01:01:11 Yeah, this is where it all falls apart. We're expecting somebody with the best of intentions going, what about and then everyone going, fuck you. That's a problem with getting older and getting responsibilities and stuff. We got to plan like two weeks in advance. Dude, remember when we would play S'mite every day? I, Jordan, I was thinking about that.
Starting point is 01:01:29 So recently, I feel like that was some of the best times I've ever had at research. There was, it was every day. It was me, Jordan, John Reisinger, Brandon, Blaine. Blaine, I think Chris would join in. Cole, sometime. Cole, we would just like, we had our crew. There was a room we had where I think we had join in. Cole, sometime. Yeah, Cole. We would just have our crew.
Starting point is 01:01:46 There was a room we had where I think we had set it up to do Twitch streaming or something like that. It was like a multi PC setup. We would just go in there and play Smite. Dang. For like an hour, two hours. God, it would be like, mid-sday. Like 430 or 5 every day.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Like, end your day with some Smite or something. Or like, sometimes you're like on our lunch break, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, we got really good. We were really good. This was after that tournament where we all sucked. I think it was during the tournament.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Well, I remember it was after because, because me, Chris and Brandon got kicked out, which I'm still bitter about. Oh, yeah. We got eliminated by the Adam. The Adam's. I've heard this one because we all know that we've all heard this bitch because a jack.
Starting point is 01:02:28 I won't get into it. Well, I was on a team with Ashley and Meg and we got eliminated the first round. But then I think it was whatever team you were on with John and someone. I don't remember who I was way. Caleb. I think it was John and Caleb. This didn't mean the world to you Gus. But you were, you're not better about it. You're going better about it. You're gonna be out of town. And so they needed to have a replacement. And like a lot of people were like, oh, you should get barboard dragon.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Cause she like has been practicing and doing really well. And that was like the closest match out of the entire tournament. I think we were like five points off out of like 400 and something. Yeah. Yeah, cause it's like very fun. It's like you got to get down to zero right? Yeah. Yeah. We had like five. Who was your to zero right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we had like five

Starting point is 01:03:43 He doesn't think Pete Alonzo is gonna win again. I think that it's, I know he has the odds, but I think it's pretty long shot that he's going to do it one more time. I just don't think so. This is a 30. I just lost a heartbreaker. This guy, this guy knows baseball. Pretty old text me, you're just be like Dodgers and first and I'm like, what are you doing? Anybody want to talk about the angels? No, okay, that's fine. Me neither. I get it. They're almost 500, right?

Hit home run and he's been out ever since. Yep, pretty cool. And we've been losing ever since. Yep. It's most fun to watch. It's a blahblast.

It was either that or they didn't play He didn't play everybody one home, but you forget I'm like calling balls and strikes from behind behind Behind the high and the pictures like that is a strike and I'm like I've never done this
Starting point is 01:04:53 There's a guy heckling from like the outside. He's like Glasses and I just what do you want? I don't want to do this. Do you want to do this? There's a great moment where Somebody on West's team his name's Randy, he came out into the stands and was just sitting there while his team was batting. And there was one call that was like, I guess borderline, and me and him at the same time go, come on, blue, and you look over and you go, you do it.
Starting point is 01:05:18 You're a fuck. Aw, if you're trying to get to another game, so I don't have to fucking on there. You should have kicked him out of the game. Yeah, there's a close a close play at first and like the last like the eighth inning like the last inning. You guys like I was safe and I went I want to go home. This stuff. Yeah, the score was like they're blowing. Yeah, it was like his foot was off the bag. Yeah, yeah, this is sand line. I just

Starting point is 01:07:11 And and and like didn't didn't run and like one of the best things about going to baseball games, especially minor league games is just yelling at them. Oh, I know. And go like, come on, you can do. You're not going to make the asteris doing that. Yeah. Uh huh. And uh, that's brutal. Did he end up trying and getting thrown out?
Starting point is 01:07:33 So, so he, so the balls fell off or whatever and he has to go back to first and I stood up and I just started giving it to him. There's no way you're stealing second. Absolutely not. Get real, dude. No way, you're stealing second. Absolutely not. Get real, dude. No way. No way. Eric's a little used to going to major league games
Starting point is 01:07:49 where he's not 10 feet away. A lot further. Screaming at this guy. Next. Dude, you're gonna get beat up. Next, no way. I got netting. They're never gonna find me.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Next pitch, he takes off. He's hustling, he's hustling, and he gets gunned down. Just started. What did I say? I told you. Eric, why? I told you. He stands up versus himself off and just looks at me.
Starting point is 01:08:20 And I just started going, I'm sorry. Used to be in way further away, man. Not used to you being able to hear me. I just started going, I'm sorry, used to be in way further away, man. Not used to you being able to hear me. I apologize. Not really. I figured this was me just yelling and not a conversation. But ever since we've watched Miles Strauss career with great interest, he got called up, I think later that year, got sent back down, then got
Starting point is 01:08:46 called up again, and then got traded to Cleveland, and still starting to this day. He's just started on the Cleveland Guardians. But we were always like, I think the name of our group chat for a while was Miles Straub, public enemy. But you won't watch the rehearsals. I was just thinking, I was thinking this is the cringiest moment out there. I'm participating. With on Sundays, Saturdays, there are some home games where minor league baseball is just trying to get you to buy more stuff and please come to a game, please come to
Starting point is 01:09:13 a game. Come look at our dog. That is the fat boy. So they're like, let's get a clone cat there. Yeah. They're like, they'll change their jerseys or their change your team name right now. They keep becoming like the hairy men. And they look like there's kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:09:26 There's the hairy men there's the flying chonclas like it's the jackrabbit sometimes. So what the echelopes I mean, so what they usually change it to is the round rock chupacabras. Yeah. Terrible look. It's the jersey looks terrible. The most all the other minor league teams have great. Yeah. Like Copa Mexican like El Paso Marrero,
Starting point is 01:09:47 or whatever. Yeah, a lot of stuff. Yeah, a lot of stuff. Yeah, so they're the Chupa Converse and it just doesn't look good in whatever, but when you get a chup on third, you have to stand up and salute because you have to bring home our chupes. Bring home our chupes. So you're just standing up going, bring home chupes home.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And then hopefully somebody hits one in the outfield and then a lot of also shouting support our chubes. Now that's something I could get but yeah so that's pretty good. Yeah you make your own fun at those because the games aren't usually the beer helps. Yeah, it's in puns. Yeah amazing. Wednesday dollar hot dogs. I love hot dogs. Well dollar hot dogs.

Yeah, cool as dude, great. And he loves our community too, it's great. He's a great goalkeeper, he's like,

Yeah, we'd fucking drive to Houston. Yeah, no problem. I thought you were talking about watching them. No, no, no. You want to watch them in November?
Starting point is 01:12:11 It feels weird that it's not going on right now. Exactly. We should be close to the finals at this point. Exactly, yeah. I am glad that it's not happening during RTX because that's always hard when the world gets, like I always miss the semi-final games because they're always the week into RTX.
Starting point is 01:12:26 But it's also every four years. Now Christmas is just getting away. Do you remember me watch the World Cup in our office? Yeah, that was great. That was the Brazil one. Brazil. Yeah, that was great. I like having a TV in our office because then everyone wanted to come and hang out with
Starting point is 01:12:42 us. But a TV in your office. We do. Oh, turn it on. Put on out with us. But it's even your office. We do. Oh, turn it on. Put it on Simpsons. Oh, we should do that. It starts right on FXX. World Cup starts right before Thanksgiving.

Starting point is 01:13:04 Sorry, Gavin. There are games on the 24th. I know. It's coming home. We filmed a video on our office today. We filmed a video on our office today where we use like a wide angle lens to capture the whole audience because we were doing this thing. We're doing a give it away.
Starting point is 01:13:16 But we were blindfolded and trying to hit each other with stuff. Cool. And Gus and John collided. And Gus like injured his hand. I had a fucking hurt. I was like, wrap the video and he's just like, I think I hit someone. I think someone.
Starting point is 01:13:29 That's why I went to go look for ice. Yeah. So I was gonna ice. Oh, it doesn't matter how clean that ice is if you're doing it. Well, there wasn't on. That's why I filled it up. So I have ice to ice my injuries. Take a drink.
Starting point is 01:13:40 No. Sit up. Now I want to go look in that thing and clean it. It's everywhere. I think it's nothing Super disgusting. I think it's a lot of milk, do you and things floating? That sounds pretty gross. It's pretty gross floating is rough. That's that's bad I Had a Twitter conversation. We should talk about our fridge at some point. Oh, we should
Starting point is 01:14:04 I had a Twitter conversation with Brian Gar this morning that fridge at some point. Oh, we should I had a Twitter Conversation with Brian Gar this morning that kind of went off the rails. It was my fault He was talking about his coach weeding. He was in no we are not Except tweet except Yes, to tweet yes to co-tweet He he was talking about how great steering wheels were oh, yeah, and like you know, we nailed it with that one from the beginning. Now notes, can you imagine if steering wheels were yokes instead like well, bylets. Then I said to be replied that said the other day I was gonna have photos of planes from the 20s and there's like a photo of a plane that has a steering wheel in it to control the plane. Does it also go forward?
Starting point is 01:14:38 I think I see. Okay, you would have to. Yeah. Because how are you controlling the other the other axis. But then I started going down to rabbit hole with the reason I had looked up that photo and the reason I was looking at that photo the other week is it was a photo of the second woman to ever solo fly a plane in the world. Oh, her name. Her name was Bessica Rache. Bessica? That's a question.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Yeah, the first woman to ever fly a plane solo did it 11 days before her. So just barely beat her. What's her name? Bessica. But the interesting thing about Bessica was her name. She built her own plane. What? And she never received lessons on how to fly up. Bessica. So she was the second. Like best to do.
Starting point is 01:15:14 If you're the second to the pilot ever, she built a plane in the fluid. Wow. This works. That's awesome. Dude, that's so cool. And she did it successfully. We started people Bessica again. Oh my God. That's a good. Awesome. People probably just call her Bessie.
Starting point is 01:15:29 So it was a B-B-B-Bessica. It was a 1910. I want to put B in front of everyone's name now. Barrett. Barrett or Farn. Barrett or Farn. Bess. Borden.
Starting point is 01:15:41 But yeah, that's a big company. B-Bessie. There you go. Borden. But yeah, um, that's a dirty company. The, the, the, Bessie. There you go. Yeah, there's the, the mascot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:53 It's dry by some diamonds. Is it Bessie or LC? LC. LC. LC. Is she's married to, do you know, canonically? Oh, God. We're getting in a milk water.
Starting point is 01:16:01 Canonically, the cow from Borden milk is married to the cow from Elmer's glue. Aw. What? That's so sweet. Yeah, couldn't- How cows be married? Cononically, those mascots are a couple. Anyway, we have, we should do something.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Yeah, do they have a ceremony? Yeah, boom! Now I like that one, that was good. something. Yeah, just have a ceremony. Boom! No, I like that one. That was good. Boom. Yeah. We Eric should have said, move.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Move. This sucks. We have a broken fridge in our office. Yes. Well, the one that broke it, it was unplugged. What do you mean it holds, it holds fridge. So we have a power strip that has the lights that are connected to our streaming setup in our room.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Yeah. And I guess the lights that are connected to our streaming set up in our room. Yeah, and I guess The fridge that we use is also in that power strip But I think to turn off the lights someone just went ahead and turned off the power strip. Oh Small way to do it probably Cameron. Sorry. I have something in my throat. COVID Milk, but I'm not No, definitely not I have not in out so It's plugged into the strip. And then someone unplugged it. Unplugged it.
Starting point is 01:17:11 This was on a Thursday. Unbeknownst to us, it was unplugged or like not working. And Chris put his poke in the fridge on Thursday. Wow, the worst thing you could put in there. The next day he ate fridge on Thursday. Wow, the worst thing you could put in there. The next day, he ate his leftover poke. Wow, the worst thing you could eat. And I haven't heard of him getting sick. No.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Was he okay? Yeah, I haven't heard, that was on Friday. Last week, yeah. And nothing seemingly came of it. And then when we found this out, I said, Chris, did you not notice your Pokey wasn't cold? And your apply was, huh, I guess not. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 01:17:47 There's also other stuff in that fridge, including a container of strawberries, which we took them out. They were not strawberries anymore. They were, it was a completely different species that had come out of that fridge. There was no strawberry left. Oh, no. And there was some other food in there.
Starting point is 01:18:09 It was just reaked. We have trouble with mini fridges. It's coming in. Yeah, fridges are not our friend. Strawberry is gone. I am what remains. Wow. I just want people to know Gus is holding ice to his hand.
Starting point is 01:18:23 Is your hand okay? It just hurts a little bit. It's fine. Still? Yeah. Wow, I just want people to know Gus is holding ice to his hand. Is your hand okay? I just heard it's a little bit. It's fine. Still? Did you fracture about it? It's probably just bruised or something. Well, you can't cast that, so you'll be fine.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Yeah, it's very nice. Color heal. Yeah. I immediately took my ring off and I was like, just in case it swells. That's smart. Let's get this off here. Put it on another group. That's a good thing.
Starting point is 01:18:42 It's fine. Dang. But yeah, the ice is still good. It's still cold. You still need it man. Um Yeah, so Chris our special our special little boy He was a little bummed because he finished his work ice cream the other day and he hasn't oh man He's got more ice cream work. I His work ice creams all got does he ever think about maybe bringing his home ice cream to work? No, that's that's home, right? But then he can, it's more easy to like pick it up
Starting point is 01:19:06 on the way home. Word ice cream. I guess they're different flavors. Maybe even different brains don't increase. His ice cream thing is fucking crazy and real. Like it really is. It's ice cream every day. It's probably why the poké didn't affect him.
Starting point is 01:19:21 Yeah. I've ever seen those videos where you have a little kid and their parent is filming them on their iPhone and they put candy or something sweet in front of them and they're like, don't eat this. I'm gonna go to the bathroom, don't eat it. And then they leave the room and then you get to see what the kid does.
Starting point is 01:19:39 We wanna do that with ice cream with Chris. That's a good idea. We wanna put ice cream in front of him and be like, don't eat this until we get back. Fucking great idea. It'd be just like watching a little kid, like struggling with their inner demons, like trying to get close and not actually doing it.
Starting point is 01:19:51 He would just eat it. He'd be like, fuck you, you're not my dad. Yeah. Well, you wouldn't if you framed it as this is my ice cream I'm going to eat. Yeah. Oh, don't touch it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Yeah. He is such a little fiend for snacks. Like, if you ever have a snack or something, he's just like, he's it. Yeah, yeah. He is such a little veneer for snacks. Like if you ever have a snack or something, he's just like, he's like, ooh, hey, whatcha eating? There was, Can I have some?
Starting point is 01:20:12 A time we were filming, I think at Blaine's house, for like, this is before we were back in studio. Like during the pandemic when we would film once we get someone's house. And it was around Halloween, so Blaine had a bunch of leftover Halloween candy. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:20:26 And Chris went home. He was just like, do you have any leftovers? He went home with a bag full of candy from Blaine's house. That he just, from now he has home candy. Home candy from Blaine. Great. Fucking normal. Like how regular that is.
Starting point is 01:20:42 What a regular normal. He always take leftovers too. Oh yeah. That's what I mean. That was us when we did that for face. Yeah, the face. Yeah, when we went to Fizzolese. Yeah, I love Fizzolese.

We started eating them and we just went. Well, I'm not going to eat all this Fizzolese's fizzoles. Yeah, let's get real like get fucking real
