This is a Rooster Teeth production. Rooster Teeth is sponsored by ExpressVPN. They're the fastest VPN we've ever tried. I'm Gavin. Aaaaah. And I'm Gus. Um, well, you drew, you really were up on the ball in a hurry there. He was so ready. It's because the first time I was with the podcast, Gavin did this exact thing to me. And I thought, you had a whole castanza thing in my head after it was like, next time,

next time I'll get him. I'm one of them. So, not funny. Just do it. The same shit over and over again. Just repetitive. That's comedy. You just got to repeat it. I should have said I'm guys.

I don't know why I like had a brain fart on that one. That would be the easiest thing to do. The most next time. The most annoying noises. That's what happens. So I want to talk about something right off the bat here. We obviously the holidays are coming up. Everyone's going to be off for a little bit. So next week's podcast, I'm telling you now, next week's podcast is going to be pre-taped.

And we already taped that episode. So we've already done next week's episode and we're doing this week's episode live. And I feel like it's breaking my brain a little bit. I've been trying to think about things to talk about that we're not going to talk about next week. Well, that we did because we already required it. So just you don't remember we already talked about. It's not different to us. It's just different for them. Like we don't have to. We've already talked about it. What do you mean? It's like, but it's not. It's

actually like I don't want to I don't want to talk about 10 it. And when we can talk about 10 it on the podcast, we're going to have that conversation. Right. We're also going to talk about how it, it's weird that we're recording the next one before this one. We're talking about this one, but we also talked about, we talked about it on that one. We, we, we explain, we're're gonna explain the reasoning behind it next week.

So tune in next week to find out why. I feel like, I think this episode should be dedicated to setting up callback jokes that are happening in the pre-recorded version next week. And we remember what we talked about, it would be great. Yeah, great, yeah. Yeah. What did we talk about?

I don't remember, and that was like a few days ago. A couple days ago. Yeah. So we So find out with us next week. What did we talk about? See, this is why I was worried about it earlier. I wanted to make a list of shit we talked about that we wouldn't talk about it again. You don't know it. If it comes up, I hopefully we will. But you didn't know that you just did the same joke on true again. True. Yeah, but that was like pre-gathering. That was at least three. Oh, really? That was a long time ago. It was it. Yeah, we were in person. It's like a year. Wow. Remember that.

Dude, it's the shortest day of all of the year. Yes. And it was like 21 degrees today. Yeah, yes. And it was like 21 degrees today in Celsius. It was beautiful today. It's gorgeous. Had such a light day today too. I feel like I've been relaxing most of the day. Just try and take it easy before the break and then we had the point.

Yeah, that's what I do. I'm like Gus, where he would take a time off before going to the kitchen. That's what Gus would do. Yeah. Those are brand new lights, by the way. All right. Well, semantics, uh, but I was like getting ready to do the podcast. And I'm like, I have been

talking to no one all day. I've just been like lounging about kind of taking it easy. And now we have to be on the podcast and I was like, wow, I, I'm tired. I'm sleepy right now. I got to like, wake myself back up for this. So I definitely I definitely showed up early so that I could do a long warm-up just in discord before we started. Just like I waited for everybody to come in and then it was like trying to talk to Eric

and like just trying to get up just like can my energy boost it get ready to go. Yeah, it's weird. Normally I'm the first person here who's weird. I joined and Drew was already here like mid conversation with Eric's like, oh, that's strange. Yeah, I got to get I got to get prepared. An actor must prepare. He used to get into the zone to character. Talking to you. What were you saying on the poll before the poll cost about how you were thinking about sad?

Okay. So I don't know what earlier today on Reddit, I saw like an animated gif of, I think the podcast about how you are thinking about sad. Oh, God. Okay. So, earlier today on Reddit, I saw an animated gif of, I think it was actually Jupiter that I saw that was spinning. And in the clouds, someone said, look, it looks like there's a dolphin in the clouds. And the, I mean, the clouds are kind of shaped like a dolphin or whatever. But it got me thinking it's like, something is happening on that planet right now. And I don't know what it is.

It's like, I guess normally I think of the planets as being these abstract ideas, right? They're just like out there somewhere. But in reality, there is something happening right now. Like I could, if I had the ability, I could go there and see what was happening on Jupiter, but we just can't go there and see it. It would kill us. It's pretty much impossible for us right now. And it just kind of started freaking me out

to think how there are other experiences happening that will never be recorded and that no one is witness to, but it doesn't mean that they didn't happen. I mean, you can say the same for people living in the Amazon rainforest though. Right, but that's more tangible. We understand the rainforest. Like I feel like you think start thinking about like Jupiter or Saturn or the Amazon rainforest, though. Right, but that's more tangible. We understand the rainforest.

I feel like you think start thinking about like Jupiter or Saturn or the other planets. It's not a world that we're familiar with. The things don't operate the same way. The sky's not blue. The pressure would kill you. There's no surface. The Jupiter's day. Jupiter's also shockingly convenient in our solar system, right?

Like it had like it attracts a bunch of asteroids that would otherwise hit Earth with it's gravity. So it's just like it's a weird little spot. Yeah, but that's not it. Is that convenient or is that we just the result of that? Like it's not like wow, that's lucky. Otherwise we screwed it's like life was have to be happy because of that. Life was able to happen on Earth because it was

protected in that way. So what you're saying. I think stuff that's like a genuine coincidence is the fact that every planet in the solar system can fit between the Earth and the Moon. That's frickin' nuts. Also the fact that the Moon is almost exactly the same size of the Sun in the sky and perfectly round

Don't buy that don't buy that for one fucking second. I hate the fucking moon. I'm sorry Perfect eclipse. Yeah true with the moon again. You have this move amazing Obsession and hatred for the moon that I just I'm just gonna say so much. Allie bought me a telescope Which I'm gonna leave here to me. I'm gonna exit the podcast and go look at the great conjunction as soon as it gets dark and off. It won't be out. Is that when you get pink eye? Yeah, the great conjunctivitis.

It's when everybody looks through your telescope and you wind up with pink eye. But I started looking at the whole on it. I started looking at the moon because of my hatred for the fucking moon. And I only have more questions. So I like you hate the moon so much because it doesn't make any sense, Gavin. Like when the moon's out during the day, is it the same phase as it is at night? Should be, right?

Or is it not because then the sun is out so it's reflecting on a different part of the moon. And then at night, it's the same phase that we just look at it. I don't know. I got to figure that out. There's always the same sun here. That's what the phase is though. No, but the sun's at a different spot in the sky and during the day.

So we'd be different relative. See, just immediately I'm confused and annoyed. And that's why I hate. And it's because of the moon. The moon still has night and day every day, but it's facing us at all times. Like it's not, the sun's still spinning. Ha!

It doesn't, but the moon doesn't have night and day every day. Yeah, it does. No, it doesn't. What? Ha! That's the phases, right? See, the moon only causes arguments. And now I have a telescope so I can yell at it in person.

That's the only reason I got the telescope. Face to face. Right. It knows what you're doing. What are you saying? Do you say the dark side of the moon? Great. I will.

Like it's not dark. It's just we can't see it. What we don't argue about the same thing anymore. No, we're not. A broken demo disc in chat is saying Drew is a lunatic. I mean, that's fine. That tracks y'all know me. Yeah, but that's like you on on par.

So I looked at up the great conjunction is when Jupiter and Saturn are close to each other in this guy? Yeah, really close to each other in this guy. Yeah, really close to each other in this guy. Are they going to be like, perfectly aligned at one point like from? It should be tonight or on 730, but I don't I think they'll still be a little it'll be like, as my mother said by a text, it's like a star with a little hat on it. And from what I read, it hasn't happened for 400 years and it's not going to happen for another 800 or I think it hasn't happened for 400 years. I mean, it's not going to happen for another 800. I think it's 800 or I think it hasn't happened for 800 years.

No, I think it happened 400 years ago, but then it's going to happen again in 800. Okay. This is what I read. Someone will leave to go look at that. Listen, I don't know about you guys, but I somehow I found myself deep on astrology, TikTok and every single fucking creator has been talking about December 21st, December 21st, great conjunction. It's going to get your data manifest guys? It's your day.

It's like starting about the future and like what you want and like everything. And it's just like, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing today. There's so much pressure. Are you into astrology, Barbara? I'm not into it. I'm interested in it just because I find it fascinating. I've seen like a couple videos where things have been predicted and I don't know like I don't I'm not like invested in it but it just interests me. I'm like just at the cusp of like getting into it. A lot of your like first run a merch had like astrology things in it right?

Stars, a lot of animals and stuff. Yeah I love you. What's what's sign are you? I'm a cancer If you couldn't tell and I cry at the drop of a hat Yeah, I love reading about people's science and stuff like that and of course there's the whole thing where people are like Oh, you know people read their The description of their signs or their horoscope or whatever and they tend to Agree with it because they're

reading into it with that already bias opinion of like that it relates to them. So like people are like, oh, you could read any horoscope and if you think it's yours, you'll think it relates to you in some capacity. But it's just it's interesting to me. I didn't know that. I'm learning about Barbara. You and after all these years. It's just pleasant information. Okay. quarantine has been going on for a long time. There's only so much that I've been able to get into or read about or whatever. This is just like, I don't know, I somehow got onto a strategy tick-tock and I'm like, interested. It's very. You hear for it? Yeah.

Okay. All right. No, no. I'm not hurting anybody. So I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would I would the cables not long enough, Gavin. I can just actually, Eric, I don't, I don't know, the V-Mix will work on my phone. You have the technology to look at another planet, but you can't drag your microphone 20 feet out of the door. Just get really loud at it. I've always wanted to telescope, but I feel like it's living in a city now, it's not going to be as worth it as difficult. Yeah. What when I lived in a city now. It's not gonna be as worth it as difficult. Yeah, and I lived in a small town. Yeah, big camper. So we go camping and then like the other night,

I kept making everybody was trying to make some more and I kept being like, guys, I got another star in my toes, co-op once you get up and come over and be like, wow, good job, buddy. And then they go sit down and I got another one to go to this one. Like you needed for like two hours

until somebody was finally like, hey man, we're good. Shots are seen this before somewhere. I feel like it could you get it so that you can hook up a camera to it and just have it on a screen in front of the telescope. Take photos or whatever. I just showed folks. I really want to look

at stars, but I can't be bothered to stand up. Can you hook it up? I don't have a stand up. Can you run a cable? She's a super long periscope. So the light from the star traveled all the way across the universe. You didn't want to look at it when it got here. So you wanted to be put on a TV closer.

Traveled millions of light years. Just to be like, I'm good. Thank you, though. No, thanks. I've seen stars before. This episode of the receipt podcast is brought to you by Audible.

And I got something happened to me the other day that hasn't happened in... I don't think it's ever happened actually. It's just not a record. I was... By the way, so you've distracted me. I was just walking my dogs in my backyard and I found two pecans that squirrels buried. I texted a picture to Eric. But anyway, I wasn't going to talk about that. I was in a drive-through, and I was waiting for food.

And this drive-through, in particular, is very poorly laid out. And when the line gets long, it comes back, and it blocks the exit. Like when you get your food, you have to leave. If the drive-through line gets too long, it'll start blocking the exit path for the people who are getting their food.

So I was in line, and it was up by the exit line. I had to stop. I had to leave a gap between me and the car in front of me. That way, when cars got their food, they could leave. So I was there and I was waiting and I had a big gap between me and the car in front of me so that the car getting its food could leave. There was a truck behind me that started honking at me. I was like, well, I don't want to move up because if I move up, then I'm going to block

the space and then everything's going to get up, and always be able to move. And then the truck pulled out, pulled around me, and got into line, it cut me in line, to get, you know, in one spot closer, and blocked the exit for the people who were getting their food. So then he gets up there, blocks me, I'm like, well, I'm not gonna get up and say anything, because it's Texas, he might have a gun shoot me because he's a fucking asshole. So I'm just, well, I'm not, I'm not going to get up and say anything because it's Texas. You might have a gun shoot me because he's a fucking asshole. So I'm just sitting

there, whatever. The car goes to leave with its food and now it can't get out. So like, it's fucking gridlock. Like everyone's stuck now. So everyone in the line had to like try to inch closer together to be like, just clear enough room for the, for the car to leave. And eventually, yep, sure enough, like they clear in the room to cars able to leave. I'm like, man, what a fucking asshole this guy. So I didn't get to move, right? I'm still in my same spot. I'm still waiting.

I'm still leaving space for the next car. And as I'm there, another car pulls in and tries to cut me off. I was like, what the hell is going on? So like I honk at him and like I point at the line behind me and he rolls down his window and he goes, can I cut in? I said, no, that guy already cut in. I said, there's three cars behind me and he looks, he goes, how many cars are behind you? I said, there's three other people in line back here. He goes, oh, I mean, he leaves. Like, what the fuck

is wrong with people? It's just so hungry. How hungry is this? The other problem is like everybody in that line is probably starving. And so they're all everybody's pissy trying to get Oh, I was pretty hungry. I was it was really annoying. I don't want to get down like I knew there was a long line at the drive-through But I don't want to go into the place sure like I'm fucking stuck here in the drive-through trying to be a good person Leaving a gap so the length you keep going and some fucking asshole comes and just cuts me off

I will say I've had wild success with the water burger app. They are speedy and you don't have to do shit. You just order and then show up and they run to your car and hand you your shit and you're gone. It's the best. That's really good. It's been my favorite drive through experience of all time.

I like, I feel like we've accelerated this kind of of curbside and contactless pickup options. And I for one am all for it. I'm all about it. This place has always been kind of advanced in that regard. But even before this, there were drive-through banks

where you didn't have to go in. Yeah. That to me was a weird one because, I mean, I've seen drive-throughs in England for food, but never for a bank But why why do you think you only place the kids roll tube? Why are there no tubes elsewhere? Why don't we get why aren't they're fast food tubes? Because your food get all messed up I wouldn't want my my my go through to you though It works in a vacuum. I don't know. Barbara, are you okay? Are you muted?

Oh We're still have your you still have your key binds for among us. I may have my key binds still on from among us So I would see why we would just ignore it among us. So did we see light we were just ignoring. We cut the I mean, it didn't feel any different to a normal podcast, not going to lie. So, oh, no, okay, next up. All right. So I was thinking about the, the whole like contactless and apt thing. And it got me thinking about, there's a moment in the office where Michael Scott is trying to call a woman named Wendy

and he calls Wendy's by accident. And I don't know if you all remember this. And he tries to order food ahead of time via the phone on Wendy's and he's like, I want to hamburger and french fries and they're like, all right, just come by. We make it. He's like, all right, so you're going to have it ready for me. They're like, we don't take orders. We're fast food place.

You just show up and get your food. But now Wendy's and all these other places have apps and they're trying to convince you to use their app to order your food ahead of time. That was something that was a punchline. It was a joke just 10 years ago. We made fun of it. And now it's like everyone's trying to convince you. I hope that it will go ahead of time. I hope it stays around. I hope that this is the new way that we will. That's always so interesting to me, because a lot of people are obviously talking about the pandemic in a way where it's like, oh, when things go back to normal, blah, blah, blah,

but like there are gonna be so many new ways of doing things including, I think, ordering food and groceries and all that stuff, that I think is gonna be like a permanent change. I don't think there is a normal that we're going back to ever, as dark as that seems. Well, a new normal, a better normal, ideally. Yeah.

Yeah, hopefully a safer normal to you. I think like wearing masks when you're sick or when it's like flu season is going to become a lot more common. Well, that's, that'll be great. Yeah. Do y'all have, I realize this here that it, do y'all have a preference on which vaccine you want? Any of them, literally any of them.

I hear the Moderna one tastes better. I don't, I don't know why, but I just want the I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. who reported it. I saw an article earlier today about how some companies, and like, you know, the Pfizer vaccine has to be shipped at really low temperatures. And some companies are trying to work with dip and dots

to secure a freezer. I mean, you get a vaccine and ice cream. Oh, that would be delightful. So now I'm back on the Pfizer train and throw off from free dip and dots. I guess the future. I guess dip and dots has a cryogenics arm other business that deals with it's all cry. It's all cry. That's all liquid nitrogen. Right. That's how you make a dot. It's just I'll be honest dip and dots. It's no good, but this not it's not tasty. It's bullshit.

What's funny is they called it ice cream of the future and they were right, but just not in the way we expected exactly. I love dip and dots. I love paying $10 for a very small amount of ice cream of the future and they were right, but just not in the way we expected. Exactly. I love dip and dots. I love paying $10 for a very small amount of ice cream that I will say would so okay. It's I agree Gavin. It is okay, especially if you want ice cream. Dip and dots not the way to go, but you saying like it's not good. That's not true. It's still good. It's still tastes. It's a lot of fun. It's like a party in your mouth. It's sugar. So it's good. So not a matter of qualifier, but definitely not. Like to me, my favorite ice cream by far drumstick with the caramel inside.

Ooh, and the chocolate's a good. Oh, fuck yeah. It's got like everything you want in ice cream. But you can't get the king drumstick because those fuckers break right in half. I don't know what it is about the engineering of the yeah, there's a There's a small and there's a tall and the tall Right in half in the package and you open it up and you only get half the fucking ice cream every time

Well, you get the whole thing. It's just broken. It's just broken. I used to be a little Cornetto lad Delicious. I don't know what that is a Cornetto. Yeah It's a nice it's like it's a drumetto? So it's all... It's not. It's like a drumstick, but it's got like a flat top. Oh, okay. Don't think I was a little bit on top of that. Don't they? Cornetto.

No, I thought a drumstick was rounded. I think there's different kinds, but the one I get, they're rounded at the top and they got little peanuts on the top with the chocolate coating underneath. You've watched Sean of the Dead, and Never Had of a Cornel. Mental. Mental.

Mental. I, uh, it's so good. We had been talking about this recently. I don't know why you mentioned Shorter the Dead and maybe think about it. Um, this past weekend, I decided after we've been talking about it, I decided to, uh, rewatch the Lord of the Rings extended edition movies. And I forgot how long it takes to watch those. Like on Saturday, I was like, yeah, I'll probably bang out two today,

and I'll do Return of the King on Sunday. I did fellowship on Saturday, and I was like, that's it. I can't. And I did two towers on Sunday. And I was like, I have enough time to do Return of the King, but no, I just, it's not in me. It's way too much. All at once. And I, I, I, okay. Sorry.

It just made me think about when the draft house used to do like whole day marathon, where they would show all three of them back to back to back. And I never went to those, but it's like those would always sell out. People would extend it to you. Um, can you explain to me this is controversial? Why do people like Lord of the Rings? Uh, cause, let's just like classic fantasy in it. Hello, Chris Demaris. Uh, dear help on this one. I just get drawn. I think Chris Demaris' drone strike comes through. Some alarms are going off in his head right now and he doesn't know why.

I think the world is cool. Lots of mystery, love old races and things. I don't know, why is it good? It's just good, isn't it? Don't, what, do you not like it? Drew, what do you not like about it? I don't enjoy it at all, but that doesn't mean you should be great if you like it.

Do you not like fantasy or a general? I just, no, I think I, no, I think I might not be a fantasy fan, but I'm a big sci-fi fan, so maybe I just draw the line at magic, I don't know. I kind of feel you Drew, I'm okay with the Lord of the Rings films. I feel like it's just a lot. It's like a lot to digest at once. Also, we went to go see the second one in theaters

and I held a girl's hand for way too long and then our hands got sweaty and everybody felt real awkward about it. So every time I think about the Lord of the Rings and the two towers, I just think about having a really sweaty, weird hand in the movie theater. It's forever associated with that movie now.

So you hate Lord of the Rings sweaty hands, baby. Yeah, why does it be like Lord of the Rings just gives you a really sweaty hands, baby. Yeah, why does it be like load of the rings? It gives you a really sweaty hands. Yeah. By that logic, I would hate every day of my life. Oh. I think that just really well made films. I think the, I mean, there's a reason so much was cut

from the extended versions. And also, I can't even imagine what was cut from those. I just, I was always very confused by all of the characters in the dialogue. Like I didn't know who anyone was because I didn't read the books and then I felt very lost the whole time. It's a lot, it's a lot of characters. So maybe it's just me on being dumb. I honestly think the extended versions go to the, they go the extra mile to explain what, who people are more or explain what groups of people are more.

So maybe I should go back and just do the extended just this thing. I don't really enjoy. I'll just do a lot of it. This is what's what's 11 and a half hours. You know what you should do to get yourself in the mood, get a bowl of water and just stick your hand. Yeah. Perfect.

Salty water. Flashbacks. Oh, myself. But it's it's for it must be frustrating for the actors when some stuff is cut. Like I was watching the two towers when I watched the two towers yesterday. And in the extended version, which is not making it to the theatrical version, there's a scene where when they're bearing theodrin, Ilwyn has to sing a song in like some ancient made up language.

It's not English. And I was like, how frustrating is it for that actress? Who's like, okay, I'm going to sing in this movie. I got to memorize a song in a fake language. She goes out there. She performs, probably spends hours, you know, doing the scene. And then it gets cut. Like it doesn't even make it into the fucking movie.

It's like, oh, okay, thanks. I only did all that work for nothing. Because you wouldn't know anything about that. Right. Nothing at all. Yeah. They would say the whole day that you've ever done that, guys. It was super not of work to six movies though.

No. The first half of each movie is nothing happens. Like the first half even of two towers, which I always considered the most you. You just said they're very cinematic and they telegrade story, but then you just also said all of them don't do anything for the first half of all of them. No, but the point is, is that like the two towers, the extended one is on two discs. And if you just watch the first disc, nothing happened that whole,

I guess they go, they, like, un-old a guy, and that's about it. But when they're in the theatrical, it's like as a whole movie, they're great. Like each, each one is great. I always just remembered two towers being like, action pack crazy one all the fight in but not in the first half. Yeah, it's all at the end. But then the hobbits bad right everybody agrees in the like the three habit movies are not very good. Not seeing them. I don't know if it's that they're bad. I just think when people, excuse me,

when people see them, they compare them to the lower the rings trilogy. So I think like by comparison, they're not as good. Got it. That's my interpretation at least. I was kind of a on everything. So I am no place to judge. So I think someone in chat agrees with you, Drew. Who is this? How I'm... Oh, they were okay. Never mind. Message removed. I guess someone in chat agrees with you, Drew. Who is this? How? Um, Oh, they were okay. Never mind. Message removed. I guess someone in my face. I'm just getting raked over the cold chat.

And that's fine. They said that they had the same problem you did. Where stuff wasn't explained. Hey, I just, I just thought dumb the whole time. Now I'm just holding this girl's hand. It's real sweaty. I don't know what the outcome of this relationship is going to be. And now I'm really confused by all these elf people the whole time

I was Was it a long time ago this? Yes You might you might enjoy more now. I didn't really care for them when I was a kid. Okay Yeah, it was that we saw it like opening night at midnight. Oh 2001 2002 if it's yeah, I was looking it up They did they shot principal photography for 14 months to do all three movies at the same time. That is a long asho. It was December 99. No, no, no. It was October 99 to December 2000. So basically they had no year 2000. The entire year 2000 was shooting the movies. Bloodfest shot of 25 days, 25 days.

I mean, Lord of the Rings bloodfest, they're really just so. I just say like Indy movies in general are like a 2015, 20 day schedule. And it's just like, could you, goast blusters was like 156 days, 120 page script. You also have to like maintain everything about yourself, like your weight, your hair. You also have to maintain everything about yourself, like your weight, your hair, like you have to maintain everything to look the same all the time.

That must be a lot of work too. Well, you have people doing the way you're doing it. I guess, yeah, when you're... It's like when the weight thing. But even then, they hire trainers and shift for it. They feed you. They do a little trainer and yeah. And that's enough. I watched a documentary last night

called Monster Camp. Have you seen that? No. It's about larping. Okay. And it was quite old, but I really enjoyed it. I was expected to get to have... I feel like a lot of documentaries have a bias where it's like we're going to feature these people, but they're clearly insane and we're just going to let them talk themselves down this weird hole. And the audience will see them in a certain light. I feel like it was a completely unbiased, really cool look at LARPIC, which I had never,

I mean, aside from watching role models or something, I didn't really have any experience with. And at one point, like some random people walk up and watching them all, you know, fight against shouting each other. And the documentary almost makes them look like the weird ones. Yeah, I thought it was, it's really good. It was like super cheap documentary made by like one dude. I never heard of it. What platforms you're watching on Amazon prime.

Okay. I keep it out for it. You said that so fast. Amazon prime. Okay, I'll keep it out for it. You said that so fast. Emson, Prime. The, uh, so the Mandalorian season two wrapped up the other day speaking of things that we're watching.

Did. I think it, uh, I think it wrapped up really well. I think, uh, everyone, I think I've, everything I've read online, people are very happy with the way that it ended. It was a very, very positive reception, which I think is super rare to get nowadays. Yeah. It seemed like a lot of people had good reactions to it. I saw a lot of people crying and getting emotional and stuff like that, not spoiling anything.

Even though the whole season's out, which I think a lot of people were waiting for the whole season to be done, so they could binge it. I think that was a big reason people didn't want us to spoil anything, but damn like what a good what a good fucking show Mm-hmm, and I'm I'm ready for more. I can't believe we have to wait so long. It's the thing that sucks Right yeah, they're good. They well along with like 19 other shows Yeah, they have a lot that's that's going on. I feel like they were kind of after Yeah, they have a lot that's going on. I feel like they were kind of after all the trouble they had with the most recent movies and some of the spin-offs like Solo. I thought that they were really slowing down and going to ice plans on that franchise, but I guess they're just pivoting and you know as opposed to theatrical, it's not more Disney plus and S-Pod focused. I think that the success of the first season, the Mandalorian coupled with quarantine, is gonna make them explode with all of that Star Wars content

and serialized form. And also like, it seems historically, Star Wars being serialized seems to be easier to digest all the lore and stuff. So, that's just space fantasy. Right, right. And I fucking love it, because it's just space. All you gotta do is take away magic, call it something Yeah, that's just space fantasy. Right, right. And I fucking love it because it's just space. All you gotta do is take away magic,

call it something else, put it in space, and I'm like, oh, I am here for this. As long as there's no moons. Oh, fine. No moons. As long as there's no confusing ones. Other moons are fine. Vobos and Demos, they make sense.

Mars is moons, easy. Asteroids got caught hanging out little potatoes. Armoon does make sense. Why does, does it have a name. Why does it have a name? Why does it have a name? It is, it's moon. Moon, but other, thank you Barbara, welcome. Welcome to hell.

It sucks. Why don't we have a name? Because we have like other plaintiffs have their own moons, but they have names. What's their just called the Luna? No. I mean, that's one name. That's the like, uh, uh, roll, uh, Roman.

No, Latin, the Latin name of the moon, right? Yeah. Fuck, fuck. Earth has, I'm, I'm looking, I'm looked it up. Earth has one moon. We call it the moon. The moon. The moon.

Surely the first thing you see of something, you gotta name it and then you can't name other ones that. So moon also. Do you think the other moons are jealous? jealous like kind of pissed off that ours is just the moon and then they all have names Like they're like why aren't we the moon? It has alternate names. I see some alternate names here. Yeah Luna's one of them. There's also Salinas shit and is also Cynthia Who got who's calling it Cynthia? So, Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim-

Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim-

Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim-

Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim- Salim Oh, it does is fuck with the ties. It's it We need the tides we need tides for what I don't know we've evolved with them if you take them away What if everything goes still and we'll die? Drew, what's your set what's your sign me? Yeah? McQuarrie's with a Taurus moon dude. We're going into the age of Aquarius. Do you feel special buckle up?

Mm-hmm, Mr. Dawn Going into the age of Aquarius, do you feel special? Buckle up. Is the dawn. Is the energy at naked? Okay. You have to run around with like body paint all over the city. That's what you do it. Yeah. Okay, Aquarius, let me read about you. Let me see if Aquarius hates the moon.

Oh, does Aquarius hate the moon? All right. It just says yes. It's just one word. There's no conjecture. Yeah, no, all of them. It's a weird thing. I don't get it. All Aquarius, 8th Moon. So if the moon cracked in half, I'd be so pleased. Wow, that's a, that's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve.

It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve.

It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-serve. It's a screen-s. It's a, cool. Great. Now I can figure this out. I can do the math on two space objects. I'm pretty sure it's just something that hit the earth that got stuck out there. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's all. Oh, it is. Yeah. But then why is it the size of this? Why is it the exact same size of the sun during a solar eclipse? Like almost exactly not exact exact. Why does it sound hollow when you hit it with shit? I think Bernie Burns had that question on a podcast once, and nobody answered it. Illuminati, y'all.

The Illuminati controls the moon. Is that what you're saying seriously now? No, I'm not saying any of that. I'm saying I'm basically my thesis for this podcast is, I'm kind of dumb, and I have strong opinions, though stupid. If you could go to the moon for free, you would guarantee a successful flight, you would definitely survive.

You could spend a week on the moon. Would you turn it down? No, I totally go to the moon. Just a spit on it. A spit on it? All right, do you have any other issue with the fact that you want to spit on the moon? How are you going to do that?

I can't put you to spit on the moon. I can put you to spit on on the moon with the helmet and he just takes it off for a second to spit and then like slams it back on The spit freezes like as it's falling to the ground. I assume there's some sort of like dome Okay, if we're going to the moon with no problem guarantee no problems We've definitely set up a colony on the moon. There's some sort of dome that is over a chunk No, no, no, no, no, don't then forget the trip. I'm not sp- if I can't spit on the moon. There's some sort of dome that is over a chunk. No dome, no dome. No dome, then forget the trip. If I can't spit on the moon, I'm not going. You could spit in your land, uh,

no, I want to spit on the moon. I want to, well, you have, you get in a baggy, you could spit in the lander and while it's suspended, you're like in gravity, then you could open the door and it'll continue going out and then hit the moon. I think how long can you smash space? Cause we get like, I can crack a window.

I feel like I can crack a window, spit and then close the window real fast. Like I think, I think you can survive a little bit. Pritzest landed it. You got immediately vacuumed, right? I'd be worried about all of the moisture in your body trying to immediately leave three or three hours. According to realclear science.com, you can survive for 90 seconds,

unprotected in space. That's plenty of time to spit on the moon. But you're betting your life on realclear science.com. I mean, they sound good. Again, Gus, again, not smart. argumentative and dumb. That's me. Any water directly exposed to the environment, such as the liquid on your eyes or your tongue would boil off in a matter of seconds. About 10 seconds into the

ordeal, you would lose vision. Moments later, you would likely lose consciousness. A result of gas exchange, working in reverse and oxygen being dumped from your blood. You're skin would discolor to a pallid shell of blue after about one minute circulation would stop altogether. Now I just need to know the math on how long it takes to spit. It's in real a second. In reality, you have about 10 seconds before you lose vision and then consciousness. Great.

That's plenty of time to go. Look, that was like less than a second. He's a little bit of a skater. He's like, oh, shit. Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, shit. Was it worth it? Yeah. It's like the people who go up Everest. I think there was somebody who submitted Everest and then lost their hand to frostbite, trying to take a picture. Oh, he's a bitite trying to take a picture. I think they're glove off to take a picture and then they couldn't get that glove on fast enough

and lost their fingers. It happens that fast. I don't know, maybe it was, I don't know. I can't, I can't. I can't. I was like that story up. It was a last one. 2019 when there was a line to summit Everest. There's a very long, dangerous line of people just like, like just me laying, just like walking up, taking this LV, going back further. Waiting for conditions to be right. I think there's like a cottage industry that's popped up for helping people

fake Everest summit photos. I don't know if you've ever heard about this, but there's like services that'll help Photoshop you to make it look realistic like you have someone in Everest and give you like photographic proof that you did it and you don't have to quit. They just use that technology from the Mandalorian, the big, the side-sweepy stage that they use for all their sets.

I feel like if I was going to do Everest, I would need to take a step ladder up with me to erect at the top so I could climb that and potentially be the highest human who climbed man talk about dedication and danger just for a bit. It's like you're going through all this extra effort and danger training. That's less effort than gozi on the moon. I mean, you could have the ladder put up there, maybe. Yeah, I mean, like, you have a Sherpa those are just like four times a day risk their life, not yours. Yeah. Bringing a ladder.

I don't want to be more belief step flat. I feel like that's a great application for the Explorer's club. Yeah. That's it. That's how we get in Gavin. When you sum it Everest, you just on like the flattest highest bit, you're not like going the that's it. That's how we get in Gavin. When you summer Everest, are you just on like the

flattest highest bit? You're not like going to the tippy tippy top tip. Are you? I believe you got it top top, but that's not the tallest mountain because the tallest mountains insurmountable on can't top it can't get

there. Can't see Hammer song can't top this can't top this. It't get there. Is that an empty hammer song? Can't top this. Can't, can't top this. It's another Nepalese mountain that's just like not allowed. I'm sure is that you I thought Everest was the highest thought. I thought the whole point of the mountain that's been summed it highest. Yeah, some of it in mountain. I think the highest mountain was not Everest just because it starts under water or starts way deep below the surface of the sea.

Or something. This podcast episode is just full of big facts. According to Wikipedia, the highest mountain is Everest. Oh, yeah. 29 K2. I don't know. I don't know. I like the headdiv.

Humans being like, well, that one over there is actually the tallest, but we can't get up that one. Well, call this one the tallest. This one, guys, that one over there is actually the tallest, but we can't get up that one. Well, call this one the tallest. This one, guys, Everest. It's done. Yeah, we're already up this one. 29,029 feet at a summit. I wouldn't want to walk that far horizontally.

What does this look vertically? How many miles is 29,000 feet? It's like almost six miles? Six miles straight up? I feel like it doesn't seem like a lot, but then you're, you know, summoning it. So it's obviously a lot harder. Yeah.

When you think about it, you're like, oh, it's only six miles. That's as the crow flies. I'm sure it's like, circuitous. Like you have, you know, four miles of switchbacks and ice crevasses, et cetera. This episode will receive podcasts brought to by Wonder Woman 1984. An all new chapter in the Wonder Woman story, Wonder Woman 1984 finds Diana prints living quietly among mortals in the 1980s.

It's the era of excess a world driven by the pursuit of having it all. And they are completely different from where we last saw Diana. Though she's coming to her full power, she maintains a low profile, curing ancient artifacts at the Smithsonian and performing superhero acts in Cognito, but now Diana will have to step directly into the spotlight and muster all her wisdom, strength and courage in order to battle the cheetah and save mankind from a world of its own making, prove she's a hero for our time, for all time, for everyone. Film has a great story, Peppered was fun and humor and even more of the intense, exciting

Wonder Woman style action you love from the first film, full of heart, hope, a bit of mystery, intense, epic action sequences and a few surprises, everything you want in a Wonder Woman movie, Wonder Woman 1984's in theaters and on HBO Max on December 25th, streaming on HBO Max at Wonder Woman Film.com for a limited time of 31 days from its theatrical release in the US only and at no extra cost to subscribers. and at no extra cost to subscribers. Man, we did some, when I went to Israel a few years ago, they had to scale some mountains as part of our trip. Like some days we went to some mountains and scaled them. And looking back at the photos of them,

I'm like, how did they let a bunch of teenagers do this because there were no rails or anything keeping us safe except like every couple of feet there would be like a little thing in the mountain to kind of grab onto. But I'm like, any of us could have slipped and fallen to our death very easily. And like, we never signed a waiver or anything like that.

And I was like, this is really dangerous. There's something a bunch of like high school students climb this back. I feel like they're safe. You're safe. High school students make good decisions. I'm sure there was no hope for it. I'm sure it was all done in a very safe, respectful manner.

I'm never gonna find a solution. Also like high school students are pretty like a bulletproof. I mean, like you can, you can, like I know that if I climbed a mountain right now, I would be sore for days, but I climbed a mountain when I was like 16 and it was just like cool. What are we doing? Like tomorrow, because I'm feel great.

I feel like you can get away like. Yeah, but if you fell from it, you wouldn't be so great. You'd be dead. Sure. You wouldn't really bounce back from it. I mean, you'd bounce maybe a little bit. A couple times.

Oh, yeah. Doc. I'm going to see if I find out. I've been playing, I've been playing so much Cyberpunk. What, how is it? I really like it. I think it's I mean, it's broken still there's glitches. What are you playing? I just PC I'm playing on my PC. I Think it's really good. I think it's a really good game. I think it's it's like the best also. It's the best parkour game I've ever played they they like really reward Running and jumping and climbing on shit,

especially when you get double jump legs, which you can buy. It's so fun just to go like as the crow flies to an objective, just like scaling buildings and stuff. It's great. I'm a little, I mean, obviously there's a lot of bugs in that game, but all bugs aside, game play like quest wise, I'm a little frustrated with that game at the moment because I'm not that far, only a few hours in, but I got to a point where I was doing a quest and in

order to proceed, I need to pay the quest giver $15,000 and I have like $4,000 that I've collected so far cumulative in the game, like how the fuck am I gonna collect 15,000? Like, it made me turn the game off for a bit. I was like, I don't want to play anymore. Like, I just felt so discouraged. That's a guy right outside that quest who's like, immediately ready to pay you a shitload of money. Is that see? Like, I didn't want to do his quest.

It sounded stupid. Is that so I have to do that quest? All right. Well, oh, sorry. Like, you actually make a ton of money in that game if you don't fast travel because you just come across shit that's happening like police stuff for.

So that's the other thing that gets me. Anytime I stopped like the earlier today, after I buy $15,000 dollar debauchles, I'm gonna start playing the game again, I'm gonna do a mission. And I selected a mission to go do and it was like drive your vehicle to this parking spot and park and I was on a motorcycle. So I rode my motorcycle to go do and it was like, drive your vehicle to this parking spot and park.

And I was on a motorcycle, so I rode my motorcycle to the spot and I parked and the mission wasn't triggering. I was like, maybe I'm not all the way in the spot. So like I got off the motorcycle, I got back on, I moved it a little bit, then I got off the motorcycle again, and then I had a wanted level in the place for shooting me for no reason. There's like, I feel like anytime I stop,

there's a bug where the police want to kill me. So it's like, I don't ever stop and do side missions because invariably for some reason, the police are going to start trying to shoot me. Even though I don't do anything. Yeah, I don't really understand the police too much in that game. It's an odd police system for sure.

But I'm deep into the story now. And because I started as a corporal, I was never outside of the city. Like I played the first 20 hours, like never leaving the city. So I've finally like gone out to no madland. It's a massive map. It's, it's massive. But also later on, you'll, you'll make a lot more money a lot quicker.

Like even if you just don't do that quest for a bit, I don't, I don't care about later. I care about now. So I want to keep proceeding. But you don't have to do that quest now. You can do that. It's like the main storyline quest. Yeah, but you don't want to do it. You don't want to main.

Are you the kind of person who just plows the main story from off the bat? It depends. Skyrim, I definitely did that. This game, I guess I was as well. Fallout 3, I did not. I think it just varies game by game. I think right now I'm experiencing extreme frustration

with this game. So I'm trying to get through the main stories quickly as possible I think what it's made me realize is how many small things in a video game can break your immersion like Tiny things that don't work right like it doesn't necessarily affect the core of the game But just like driving through the city. I'll be like why are there no people on the sidewalks? You know, it's like or it's I'll watch someone like I'll be like, why are there no people on the sidewalks? You know, it's like, or it's like, I'll watch someone, like, I'll be turning onto a street in my car, and I'll watch someone crossing the street, stop, get in my way, then turn back and go in the other direction they just came from. It's like, what are they doing?

Like, it just really draws me out of the moment. Like, when you see an NPC do something that a person normally wouldn't do, it just keeps breaking my suspension or disbelief. And I'm like, oh, it's a broken game. Yeah, I'm excited for this game to be on sale in six months when I'm on the monitor sex. It'll be good. I think people will love it when they play it

on a console that can run it. Have you guys played Project Winter? No, no. I played it this weekend for the first time with Cole and a couple people. And it's kind of a people describe it like the thing, the movie the thing, makes it like a mongos. And after playing so much a mongos and getting used to like that format, this was so slow. And there's so much to do, like you have to basically go out, craft things.

You have to get things to craft, go back to the cabin to craft it. And it's always so far away to get from place to place that it becomes so frustrating. It's like, oh, we need to repair this thing. And it needs like four electronic pieces and to make four electronic pieces, you need like four rock and four tree. So you have to like sit there punching at the rocks to get rock and then punch at the tree and then go all the way back to the cab and craft it go all the way back. It's just a lot of back and forth. And like I feel like I could get into it if I understood it more but it's so tedious and

long and just I don't know. I don't know. Did you not like did you not like minecraft? I never really played too much minecraft. I played maybe like the creative mode more than anything, or you just get everything you want. But yeah, this is just like paint. Yeah, it sounds like a like a Minecraft or a rust or a game like that. Couldn't you also, in Minecraft, build yourself a table like wherever you want to craft? Yep. This one you can't. it's only in the cabin.

So you have to go all the way back regardless of where you are. Yeah, that's a tank. Yeah, that's annoying. That's something. And there's no map except a North Southeast West. So like you could be running for like five minutes and it's like, oh, now you're West. It's like, okay, I have no idea where I am

because it's like a Blizzard constantly in that game. So not recommended for me. I mean, I think if you're with the right people, it's fun. I think I just need more practice at it because it was the first time I played it last night. It's just like very slow. Yeah, I think that's the same with a lot of games.

That like Paris, one of the multiplayer games I've played the most for videos is GTA online I don't think I would ever touch that if I wasn't playing with a shitload of people that I knew like I wouldn't just hop into that Solo I wouldn't really know what to do. It's all about the people to me I tried to do red dead to online the other day, and I got very confused and quit There's a moon in that game. There's a moon in that game. There's a moon in that game. I got a real upset and I just flipped out and left.

Did you play Paul too? I did. I played some of Portal 2. So you didn't get to the end day? I don't recall. We probably wouldn't like the ending then. Oh, another thing I should point out about Project Winter. Sorry to get off-track from

Red Dead, but you only have four inventory slots, which is the most... You could build a backpack that gives you an extra inventory slot, but it is so frustrating because you've got to just dump stuff wherever you can just to like get a tool for something like that. And then if you need to get food because you're hungry, you have to drop your tool to eat the food and then pick it back. It's just so dumb. Did you play your life? I see it's a seven, an eight player game. Did you play with seven other people? Yeah, we did. We played with a total. I mean, it was a great group. In real life, I only have four slots. I got both hands of both pockets. And then if I hold

it real, and I want to end up sandwich I want to sandwich whatever you grab with your toes. Yeah, you have your back pockets. Shoulders you could use your shoulders for I'd do what you can use your yeah, wrap it over just making scarf. Yeah, get some spaghetti, make it it. It's a crava. Yeah. Oh man, I'm hungry. I'm pretty hungry today. But I'm down to play with you guys if you ever want to play it. I mean, you really sold it. Yeah, you made it sound great.

It's again, I don't know if I'm just doing something wrong in that game or if it's just the mechanics that I got to get used to, but maybe you guys would like it. I just want to know if my opinion is wrong, basically, and that I should suck up the things that I don't like about it, because it's actually a good game. I'll give it a go, and I'll repul that to you. Okay. What platform did you play on? Because I only have a PS4.

It's on PC that we played on, like Steam. Damn. Man, I still have been trying to buy a PS5. I tried earlier today, and I got pretty far. I got to the checkout, but then it didn't work. Maybe you'll have one by next week's podcast. Did you not preorder one? I feel like you'd be in the preorder.

I tried. No, I would have if I could have, but didn't happen. So still waiting. I'll get one eventually. No rush, I guess. It'll get. It'll happen. I'm not constantly refreshing a website

while we're doing this podcast, trying to preorder one. Why is there like a want for PS5? Did they just make more Xbox's? I think making a appropriate amount of Xbox. I think so. I mean, it's still kind of difficult to buy a series X, but I think people have had more luck with it. I don't know. We've had more initial a lot, but or something.

The toughest version of the PS5 is the Tiggle Miamo PS5 for the holiday. Sorry, the joke is like 20 years old, and I needed to say it. And I said it. Yeah, it's good. Just good one. You did it. Thanks. I feel like I want to mention we launched another show on the website today that John

Reisinger made and I want people to check it out if they haven't. It's called The Real Canon. We put a pilot out. It's on RT extras on the website. And it's this particular episode is about Miles Morellas, like as far as like the video game, the movies, the comics, and everything. And I think they're trying to approach things from nerd culture, but not in a gatekeeping manner, like trying to make it accessible to as wide of an audience as possible. So for like dummies like me who are a big nerd about some things, but maybe I don't know a lot about Miles Morales.

It's like, you know, Barbara's giving the thumbs up. Yeah. It's like where you can go and like really learn about something for people who know a lot about it and who won't make you feel dumb for not knowing it. He's doing that podcast with Charles Pullion Moore, who does work with I-O-9, he's a journalist and social influencer. So you have to go check it out. Yeah, it just came out today.

It's an RT-X just on the website. Go ahead. It's rare to find a podcast like that that both people who are already into that lore and people who are new to it could both listen to and enjoy. For the same reason you're saying, Gus, it's very not gate-keeping and it's like it explains everything nicely but not in a way that makes you feel like if I already know about this, this is boring. It's hard to, I'm not into doing it. It's not exactly how John is in real life. He, he knows a lot of nerd things and then is always excited to tell you about them in a way that doesn't make you feel dumb.

So if that's him doing a show with an IONI do, then that's, it's fun. Great. So yeah, give it a listen. It's, it's available now. Yeah. I know I felt like, and it was all all my things I wanted to mention just since it was came out as brand new and I wanted to give that a quick shout out before I forgot. In less fun news, did you all hear that story about the guy who died on a United Airlines flight last

Monday? No, he was flying from I think it was Orlando to Los Angeles and they had to make an emergency stop in New Orleans because the passenger had suffered cardiac arrest and they were giving him CPR on the plane. And when they landed in New Orleans, his wife told the ambulance crew who showed up that he had COVID symptoms and it tested positive for COVID. What? Yeah. And he lied before getting on the plane

because otherwise it would not have allowed him on the plane. And so like now everyone on the plane potentially has it. Like they have to quarantine and the flight crew, I think it definitely has to quarantine for 14 days. They were given, they were given MCPR on the plane. Oh, right. It's like, it's like, oh like, his mouth to mouth still thing?

No, I don't think, there there was I don't think mouth to mouth I think it's just chess compress just chess compressions. Yeah, but man It's it's such a like it's such a fucked up story. It's so Selfish that someone I mean I feel bad for the person who died, but it's selfish of them to Potentially expose that many people to COVID unnecessarily, you know, when they personally wanted to go somewhere. Was it related to the death? Was it covered the cause of the hot side? They don't know. And I don't know if they'll necessarily say they said that this person had underlying respiratory issues, as well as potentially maybe a heart condition. So it may be it contributed,

but it might not have been the sole factor. Yeah, I the thing about COVID that freaks me out is that like while there's a good chance if we got it, we'd probably be okay. Apparently like 15 to 30% of people who get it and recover from it still suffer from permanent heart damage. And then later in life suffer from right. Like serious heart disease or heart attacks or anything heart related, essentially, you're more susceptible to later on. And so it's like, I don't understand how there's so many people, especially in this country who are not afraid of COVID or think, like, oh, if I get it, I'll be fine, I'm young and

healthy. It's like, you could be fine and recover from it, but the stuff that it does to your body and your organs, there's not enough research still and you don't know the long-term effects. Or also, they could spread it to other people, right? Well, yeah, I mean, that's like the big thing, but also like even if you are a selfish person and only care about yourself,

they're still shit, it could do to you. Even if you recover from it or have no symptoms, even people who are asymptomatic could still have permanent heart damage. So for your fucking mask, I will say all the time. I had my first COVID heckler this weekend, we went camping. Oh, no.

And like they were coming up the trail and they were not wearing masks, so we like stopped and put on masks and then like kept walking in the guy. I thought he was being nice, but then like what he said, it was how he said it was nice, but then what he said, I was like, oh, you're a dick. He was like, oh, he might as well put a mask on the dog too,

because we had to have my dog with us. And I was like, oh, ha ha. And I like walked away and I was like, wait, no, fuck that guy. But I couldn't at the time, like, again, one of those things, I was like, I have no idea what the best response is. And then I realized, okay, Boomer goes so far.

You can get so much done with just, okay, Boomer. It makes everybody angry. They get confused. So next time, locked and loaded with, okay, you yell at the moon now. Okay, no, okay, mooner. There you go. Okay, lunar.

Okay, lunar. Yeah. That's it. We got a title for this podcast episode. Eric write it down. If I, I feel like the last, the last time I was on the podcast, it was also moon themed. We got a title for this podcast episode Eric write it down. I feel like the last the last time I was on the podcast, it was also Moon seemed. So now, fingers crossed every time you're the moon guy.

There's a new I'm the I'm the fucking moon guy. Great. Can't wait. Then you hate the most in this world is now what you're doing. The thing I am. Yeah. That's all my tombstone hated the moon until his last breath. Do either die here or you live long enough to become the moon No, it's just it's my tombstone on the moon where I tried to spit bring that to it back My animated corpse says back. I don't know if you remember this Drew when we filmed this RT short like at this

point over a year ago, the self defense instructor one with Andrew. Yes. There's a scene where I'm supposed to spit on him at the end, but for some reason, I guess I just like I couldn't Very well, so I go like take that something something And my stitches goes like now Honestly probably the funniest thing ever recorded with a russeteeth-owned camera honestly I like like 10 times when it came out. It's funny. And he's carrying on. The most embarrassing thing I've ever done in this company. Like it was a normal spit.

I think that's yeah, then no it was like no, no, no, it'll be fine. It won't read on camera at all. I mean, we got to, we got some posters like no, that's the take Did you direct that true I directed it Andrew wrote it I Feel like it's all I like it when you direct stuff because you won't I feel like you won't make decisions that make the most sense You'll just make the funniest decisions I I try. I compliment. I really appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah, that's how you get some good shit going. Yeah.

Bad sticks. That's a lot of stuff for us. Like, oh, that was really funny, but it won't match with this other shot. And I'm always like, who cares? Look how funny that was. And I'm like, now we got to do it again. I'm like, dammit.

I think I just got like two in my head or I was like, I don't actually want to spit. It's gonna like land on the... No, you had, as I recall, we did multiple takes and I'll have to ask Neil, like, where these takes are because we can like, a blooper reel. But like, none of them, you just didn't have spit. There was just no spit available to you at the time.

I think that was, they were all like that, all of them. I just didn spit available to you at the time. They were all like that. All of them just didn't have enough fluid in my mouth. Yeah, to get me going. I should have like chewed some bubble gum or something. Produced some more saliva. One of those sour thingies. Yeah, honestly, I think I just need to drink more water. I think I'm just dehydrated. It was like white crawl?

Tizz? Well, flavor. Blue raspberry. Black cherry. Not my favorite, but yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, but based on that facial expression, I took a good guess that that was not your favorite. People are asking what that, as he and Chat Pilar asking what the name of that short was? I think they don't look at it. What is self defense class?

I think it is. Yeah. Girlfriends. It's pretty funny. Like I claim almost no credit. That is 100% Andrew showed up in character. Andrew wrote it. I just made sure that we covered it appropriately.

It's called the word self defense class ever. Yeah. It's somehow the third result when I set you on our website. Oh wow. Of course, the first result is IGN joins Fun House. All right. Okay, then. That was a fun one because we did a lot of improv. Yeah, there was a lot of like alt lines.

And then I'm also kind of got buried. Like it's a little secret treasure. Like came out in the middle of a bunch of different shorts. And so that one glossed. I think the first time it was out. So if you're ever looking for a good deep cut, that's a great one. One of the top comments says,

LMAO Barb, that spit, what happened? He noticed it too. I can call it out. Yeah. All right. Well, we should probably wrap this up. This is our final live podcast of the year. Like we said, we'll be back next week, but next week we'll be pre-taped.

But you should watch it anyway. He'll find out all the stuff we didn't talk about this week because we talked. Are you making this the shortest podcast? Because it this the shortest podcast because it's the shortest day? It's the first day. Yeah, we got it. We got a little dream go so we can go see the grand conjunction which sounds like something he's going to send a thousand dollars. Something I have. Yeah. Yeah. I like the way she of daylight hours to podcast hours. I have to speak up. You got it. But I think we're watching everybody.
