Hey, we're welcome to the Rusteep podcast. I'm Gus.
I'm Gavin.
I'm John.
I'm Bob.
I'm
and I'm still a pre-recorded Gus.
Where you did shift the eyes before you started that
Adred you were like, oh, I hope no one's watching me.
I had to double check and make sure that all the graphics were right,
because Eric messed them up two weeks ago.
Oh, he's got your car.
It wasn't, yeah.
This is this is uncouth.
As the producer of the show, I say we cut that part out.
Or we overdub it with
your use this.
Eric did a great job and we're so proud of him.
I really thank you.
We can, well, delete it only if you can spell uncouth right on your first try.
You and C, oh, you TH.
Oh, look at him.
Spelling beat champion.
Don't wish me.
Baby. Wow. You have a career outside of research teeth after that.
Professional Speller.
So yeah, this just to re reiterate this episode is pre-recorded.
So I'm sorry, Chad. We cannot see what you're saying.
Or we can see it. Just we're going to see it several days after we've taped this.
So it's going to be all you. We should just call out users that we recognize on a day-to-day basis, like,
oh, Peter Hayes, that was a good thing.
You pointed out there.
Oh, sorry.
I agree with your opinion, Dong Donor 420.
We're gonna go Cornworld.
It's weird, I guess.
Like, these user names out of context, you're like,
what the hell am I saying?
Like, when you're saying, like, oh, so and so says, like like you just attribute it like it's a name like it's nothing. So what day?
This is coming out the 28th
That not next podcast the podcast after so we're we're recording this one today. We recorded this on the 16th. So wait, do that again. Wait
This is for after one we've not made right. So we're going to make another one on Monday.
And then this one comes out after that one because Gavin.
Most people are taking off that week after Christmas, the 28th through the third or whatever that week is.
And next week we have the podcast on Monday and some people are taking off starting like the 23rd, 24th or a thing called Christmas.
taking off starting like the 23rd, 24th, or a thing called Christmas.
And so we wouldn't be able to pre-record the one
for the 28th, so we had to do it this week.
So also, as that ever happened before,
don't know, Avoda, aside from that,
it might have happened once, maybe.
I think it sounds like it's familiar,
like it's something that we had to do and hated.
But it's like, if we didn't do it this way,
then someone would have to work on Christmas, right? So it's like, we didn't want it this way, then someone from someone would have to work on Christmas.
Right. So it's like we didn't want anyone to have to work during the holiday. So we have to do it this way to be here.
We'll just get all the Jews from Rooster Teeth into one podcast.
I mean, anytime anybody says we're going to gather all the Jews, I'm really tense up.
I think there was, there was probably a time early on in the podcast where I had to work
on Christmas.
Of course, I had to post it and update it and everything.
And I definitely do not wish that on anybody.
So let's, let's, let's pre-tape now and have conversations that we would have after Monday.
Yeah.
I just, it makes sense to not have people walk on Christmas.
I just wouldn't have done it that way.
I would have done two, two prerecodes.
Two, uh, uh, yeah.
Sorry, go, guys.
No, no, I was, I was gonna ask how he was gonna do it.
And he said it to pre-record.
So like pre-record, this, this would be Mondays.
And then we would pre-tape the 28th later this week.
Yeah. And then, uh, continuity would be great throughout the problem.
The first thing, the first thing you said, the first thing you said, we said hi, Gavin,
and then there was a pause and you said not a lot has happened between the last one and
this one, huh?
So your idea is to put less time between this one and the next one if you were to prerecord
how is it less time if you just flip the recordings and do because we can't do the 28th on the 21st?
So Gavin is what you're saying is this would be the prerecord for Monday and then on Monday
We pre-record for the 28th. Yeah, while this one is going out
We do the
I'm just
I'm just alive But it's not the the the the the and seeing how much of this podcast we can use up just discussing
The problem is so far at six minutes
So Christopher Nolan movie. Yeah, I hate pre-taping so I try to avoid it whenever possible
It's what it boils out. That's where we only have one pre-tap. Yeah. So normally Eric asks, you know, which ones I want to pre-tape.
If we want to pre-tape, he gives me the option.
And I say, like, I'll normally say, I want to pre-tape as little as possible.
So this way we're only pre-tapping one instead of pre-tapping two.
That way, like I said earlier, we can talk to Peter H and Cornworld and Sombra and Caladria
and whoever else shows up in chat.
And we're just like, come, you can get a free membership in chat with us or you can
get a first membership. You'll start by your name is a mixture bonus features and watch it live
I guess you would only be able to watch it live if you had a first membership
How does it work? You can watch it live right now. I feel like you made a fine decision
I was really just trying to be difficult and have a little bit of an argument
It's about five minutes of podcast. That's good.
When we don't have stuff going on in our lives, we argue with each other.
It makes for entertain and content.
I got Christmas coming up.
I know.
You mean it just happened.
Right.
It was great.
I loved it.
I liked gift.
You got to join Blue Team and go back and ask.
You just got to. I Team and go back. And you just got to, you got to go, I loved when,
when Meg gave me, we'll put that in later.
Oh, I'm going to dub in something else over there.
Give me a handy.
Merry Christmas.
I've been, since we've had a lot, we have a lot of free time,
you know, being quarantined at home. I've been, I've decided to pick up a project. I started to start working on something that I've been, I started, since we've had a lot, we have a lot of free time, you know, being quarantined at home.
I've been, I've decided to pick up a project.
I started to start working on something that I've always wanted to do, but I've never found
time.
I don't know why it took me so long to start doing this.
I've always heard about people tinkering with Raspberry Pi computers.
So I finally bought a Raspberry Pi and I just put it together.
I just installed the operating system on it.
I'm going to start tinkering around with it. Are you guys?
That's that's not a pattern changed drastically once you added computers at the end of that sentence.
Yeah, no, I'm like, that's very pie. I'll fuck with that.
What's a what's a hey Gavin since you went, oh, it sounds like you know what he's talking about. What's a raspberry pie computer for us idiots?
And a little tiny programmable computer in it like sometimes you can get them like well-spawn You can get them to do specific things or run things. I've never used one
I've just watched videos what people have made with them. Yeah
We ask Gavin what it is and he says also their computer isn't it and it's like we don't know
So is it just so it's just it's a micro computer?
Yeah, you can see you get basically the little board and you put like these things in the
fan on it.
And then I see process like that.
I put this case on it and I'm going to start tinkering with it.
So I saw the reason what spurred me to do it was Esther saw online that there was a tutorial
like someone I guess built what they call a magic mirror, where it's just like
a display behind a mirror, so you can have like
embedded information, like a smart mirror basically,
they'll show you like the weather and you know,
stream video on it or whatever you want.
So like a two-way mirror that you then would have
something lit up behind it that would shine through,
okay, I got it, that's like a little smart here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like an iPad on your mirror.
Right.
And you can get like a camera to do facial recognition stuff.
So I'm at step one.
I installed the operating system on the computer.
And now I'm going to start tinkering with it.
I literally finished installing the operating system right before we went live here.
Are you going to, is that what you're going to do? I'm doing there.
Are you going to do something else?
I'm going to start with the mirror.
We'll see how that goes.
I'm going to go from there.
I mean, it's a cool idea.
What's the estimated cost of how much that little guy took to make?
This, the motherboard.
So I bought a package that had the case and everything.
This particular model has eight gigs of RAM.
You can get a base model with two gigs of RAM.
This whole package I believe was 109.
Okay.
Like I said, this is the higher end one because it has more RAM.
You can get the cheaper one.
I mean, you don't need the case.
You could build it with just with the board and you can get cheaper components doing that
way.
It's cute though, it's a little case, so I like that.
Yeah.
I wonder how that compares to a full size desktop of the past
in terms of its power.
Oh, like you could probably list that
and then list under everything it's more powerful
than in the history of like computers.
And it's just like,
it's like full of everything before 2002.
Yeah, it's like what took us to the moon?
That's like a quarter of this little thing.
Or this thing's a quarter of that,
or what's so on and so forth.
I think that's a lot of things.
A fun project.
I just love things that aren't food,
that have food names.
That's always my favorite.
Like, the fact that this is called a raspberry pie is amazing.
I don't know, I love when people name their pets
after food.
I like cheese sandwich.
Is that really the first food you could think I'm gonna have all the foods in the world?
Cheese sandwich.
It's like a good base food and a good stuff.
Like biscuit or Oreo or, you know, I'm blanking on anything else.
Pancakes, yeah, waffles.
I had actually a friend. I just like the idea of blanking on anything else pancakes. Yeah, waffles. I had to actually a friend
to the idea of one animal being called plural food.
It was pancakes.
Wasn't that that was a whose dog was it that we marils? Yeah,
Yeah, her ex girlfriend had a dog that we tried to name pancakes, but I
Think his name was Oliver. So we were not successful in that. That's right. I couldn't even remember what that dog's actual name was.
I know, because it was pancake.
Yeah, because it was pancake.
Gavin, or Barb, you brought up something and it made me think of telling Gavin,
I introduced my girlfriend for the first time to Digestives a night ago.
She'd never had one, and so we had, I made her a nice cup of tea and gave some
digestives when we watched a little bit of a movie and it was a delightful encounter.
But playing one so it could chocolate. I never, I never, I never got into the chocolate
ones. I've always loved just the plain ones. The, and so yeah, I know, I know. I've really
wanted to try to get into the chocolate to try the regular ones, I tried the dark chocolate
ones. But just to play an old adjusted dipped in tea so good. Sounds like a drug thing. We did
to just give something we slayed down a watch movie. Yeah. Did you just feel about Jeffers?
Love them. Jeffers are fantastic and I am of the party that you're allowed to dip them.
sick. And I am of the party that you're allowed to dip them.
Mmm, bold statement. Explain to us on coo.
Americans, what a digestive is because I'm I'm a little bit I'm a kind of lost.
Sponge cake cookie like thing with a circle of jam on the top.
And then that whole part is then dipped like one side of it
into chocolate. So that hardens. So you've
got like chocolate hard at the top, a little bit of jam in underneath there. And then the
whole thing is like this soft sponge cookie underneath.
I never jam in a digestive. What's the other, what's the, what's the other things that
you have? Oh, not digestive. He has for jaffers, right? Oh, sorry. Did I describe jaffers
instead of digestive? I apologize. A jaffer cake. Well, yes, that's a jaffer.
What I described as a jaffer.
Yeah, it's like a jellyish jammy thing.
But that's not small.
A jaffer is like this big.
A digestive is like that big.
Jeff is like a Oreo size basically.
Yeah, digestive are basically just a hard biscuit cookie.
Describe the flavoring Gavin.
About digestive? Yeah. I don't know if you can. It's like. God, describe the flavoring, Gavin. About the jestive?
Yeah.
I don't know if you can.
It's like cookie.
It's cookie.
It's biscuit-y.
Yeah.
From me.
A little sweet, right?
Just a little sweet.
Yeah.
It's a normal cookie flavor, essentially, like the dough, but it's harder, it's flatter.
It's great for a dip in. harder. It's flatter. It's great
for the dip. Yeah, it's a good thing to add out as if you know me well, you would know
that I do not dip because shit gets soggy real fast. And I'm not a fan of it. Yeah.
Let's try to get Gavin. Do you dip Oreos, Gaff? No. Are you supposed to? Some people
do. That's a joke. I mean, that's that's like's like no, I well, I don't know if Gavin's a joke dipping or is not a joke and
No, I'm saying Gavin like Gavin not knowing that you dip Oreos and that's a common thing. That's that's a joke, right?
Well, you like to get some in milk and stuff. Yes. Yeah, I don't I don't really just drink a cup of milk though
That's why you dip the Oreos in the milk and then this Oreo milk I don't, yeah, I don't really just drink a cup of milk though.
That's why you dip the Oreos in the milk and then this Oreo milk.
I've been, you know, I've been fucking around with hot cocoa a lot lately.
I've been.
I like the way we get too far away.
Does that mean you have Oreos with water?
Like what do you have your Oreo? No, you can just eat the Oreo.
You can just eat the Oreos. What do you know, but what do you have your Oreo? No, you can just eat the Oreo. You can just eat the Oreo.
What do you know for what do you drink when you eat the Oreo?
It's because surely you get thirsty.
Firstly, firstly, don't often eat Oreo.
Secondly, do you have to eat them with liquid?
I assume you get thirsty because there's, you know.
Do you put them in water?
No, not dip them, but like what do you,
what, what's your thirst for while you're eating?
That's why Oreo thorns are the superior Oreo. They don't make you as thirsty. Oh, no, they're not. They're not made of they're not made of compressed soul
I'm not eating one Oreo. I'm like bloody hell. I am poached. I can suck a few down and then it's fine
Do well do I'm a thirsty bitch?
Do you well do you I'm a thirsty bitch. I have questions. I have I have same
Gav do you ever do like chalk cookies with like a milk? I say it sounds like you're just not a milk person So you probably don't do any of that. I'm really a dipper of anything
Digestives and coffee is good to yeah, I'll have a drink with it sometimes usually a tea like it
Oh, great with a biscuit or something, but I won but I won't get them involved in each other's business.
They'll get involved in my mouth.
That's about it.
Do you do chips and dip?
Is that a dip that you enjoy?
Like salsa?
Yeah, I mean that's not like a runny liquid.
If I can, if it will get absorbed by my shirt, I won't dip stuff in it.
Is that a good rule?
Where will you never spilt salsa on your shirt,
because that shit absorbs right into it.
Yeah, but you can still wipe that off,
and it'll be like, you'll have something.
It doesn't just go like,
now Gavin packs all his salsa dry with a paper towel
to get all that as much as we have as possible
and make the sauce.
He only does the tomato chunks and nothing else.
That means Gavin would not do French dip,
because Ojuz said. Oh, French dip's so good. That means Gavin would not do French dip because oh, you said French dip is so good.
That is soggy bread.
Yeah.
And like French onion soup and that.
And that's so good bread in the middle.
I could hear your throat closing as you're talking.
I could hear you getting like that throw up.
You feeling when you're talking about it.
It's been.
I'm proud of all.
This episode of RST podcast, be feeling when you're talking about it. It's a bit of head. I'm proud of all of you.

I realized that I've moved my desk quite a bit over the past couple weeks. I'm sure you'll
have noticed I'm much further away from the wall behind me. I've also moved the camera a lot
closer to me. It used to be several feet away. One negative side effect I realized is that when I open up my podcast
notes document, it shouts me in white light. So now I guess I need to keep it minimized.
So what you you moved both you went towards the camera and brought the camera towards you.
Yes. Okay. So you just do you have like a like a ringlight or some type of key light in front of you?
I've got lights on either side left and right here. He's got like just like make him brighter. I could but I
I'm only now realizing I need to do that
I
I had I had adjusted it with no documents open on my
Computers which you know is as much darker because I have a black background on both monitors.
And that's no documents open.
Now that your camera's so close, it's like unflattened,
you look much more three-dimensional there.
You look really round.
Your head looks like a ball.
Thank you, it is.
Yeah, it's been an ongoing process. I had a ton of tripods back behind my desk
between me and the camera and I've managed to get rid of all of this only one left back
there that I can't get rid of.
So it's helped out quite a bit.
It's got a, I've got a C stand with a flag on it to block the sunlight out of a window.
Oh, fat play.
Mmm.
So it does that overpower me.
What's that?
Kitten camp.
Oh, my God.
Sorry.
Oh, dude.
Distracted.
It's a file of them.
Oh, me.
Look at these.
Look at these kittens.
They, if I leave an article of clothing out anywhere, they, they congregate to the article
of clothing.
They like it. So that's a hoodie.
Look at them. There's all. Oh my little tuxedo. I've been waiting for more pussy on this podcast.
It's fine. I haven't. Good. There you go. Drowning in it. Bobber show cats.
I don't have pets. I want a dog. Trevor and I keep playing with the idea of getting a dog. I know I bring it up on like every other podcast, but just take one of my cats.
It would be easier to take care of a dog. We're not cat people, though. We don't
neither of us really like cats. But I will counter this. One of the reasons why you haven't gotten a dog
and continue not get a dog is the amount of work
and responsibilities required to get a dog,
especially if you get a young dog.
However, kittens, the most autonomous little suckers
I've ever dealt with in my entire life.
All right, fair enough.
They automatically poop in a box that is there for you.
You don't have to take them outside to do anything.
They clean themselves.
They're fantastic.
And contrary to most people's stereotypes of cats,
which I had kind of ingrained in me
for my whole life because I grew up being just dog people,
they're quite affectionate and playful
and are not necessarily standoffish and loners only.
I imagine it has a lot to do with the person raising it. You're really good with animals and
very comfortable with animals, so you're very hands on with them. And I know Brian talked about
being that way with Joe when he was very young. So people, he's very comfortable with people just
picking him up and doing all sorts of stuff. Yeah,, I mean, that's a level of like Comfort of the of you handling them a certain way, but I just mean sheer
Like a lot of people love how dogs want their attention and seek them
That's what these guys do as well. These guys constantly want my attention
If I went over to them. It's on their terms though
Not always not and not and not I think in a majority sense and I, like, I get that probably some cats might have that personality,
but these guys approach me constantly.
And when I go to them, like, if I were to go to bed right now
and wake them up, I can almost guarantee you that both,
if, at least two, if not all three of them,
would then approach me for pets without me,
like with me going at them, not on their terms,
they, I just, I go like, I want to give
cuddles and they would actually come to me and everything like that. They like it. They
actually very much like it. And all three of these guys love belly scritches and they're
very affectionate. Pettens me with his one finger out and letting
me do all the work. He knows where he wants his rub. If I do this, he'll like, he wants his rub. Like if I do this, he'll like, he wants to, hey, he wants to
have his head done that. He looks really wide eyed. Yeah. Yeah. If obviously get a dog,
you want to get a dog, but I can say, having been a dog person for 30 plus years of my life,
I'm quite surprised at how many of the stereotypes of what cats are are completely wrong.
Right.
They're so sharp.
They're very sharp animals.
They can be.
You also said you're amazed by the wizardry of them knowing how to poop in the box instantly.
Yes.
Like, you know, dogs, you can obviously teach to do, you know,
their business really is supposed to do it.
And I've done that multiple times,
but that takes time and it's also a constant issue.
You sometimes have to revisit if they're having problems.
Like these guys were, these guys are the youngest ones
I've gotten so far and they were six weeks old
when I got them.
Letterboxes was theirs.
Just put a litter box near them
and they went into their business in there
and they continue to do so.
And yeah, especially right now in the cold times
and then guys, you probably deal with the cold
or with the rain.
So it could be annoying to take a dog out
and sometimes the dog doesn't really wanna do their business.
And so you have to be out there for a while.
None of that with these guys.
It's in just a little box that I go and scoop and everyone's from all sorts of big deal.
Yeah, I really, oh, they're fun to dark mode for my document. I really hate having to go
outside and especially like lately, it's we've been in a real cold streak here and it's been
a huge pain in the ass. And I've actually had really bad luck lately. This is going
to be a good segue speaking of animal shitting. I've recently ruined two different pairs of shoes stepping in some kind of wild animal
shit in my backyard.
I don't know if it's the raccoons, but something is shitting in my yard, and because there's
a lot of leaves on the ground now, so it's hard to see, and if it's dark at night, I can't
see very well either. And I've stepped in shit twice, I think, in the last week. And it's gotten
us all smeared up in the bottom of my shoes. What's a barber?
I have a question for you. Is there anything that you actually like about having a backyard?
If I didn't have dogs that needed to use it, I would not, I would pave it over.
But could you just like take them on a walk around the neighborhood with that, like to,
to let them shit just like on a walk around the neighborhood?
Yeah, but then that's more work like that.
Like multiple times a day, I need to go out and walk around as opposed to just going into
the yard, you know, ideally for just a quick, a quick poo.
Because I feel like you're, you're actually rallying towards the cat cause even more by putting this
out there that like I have a balcony and no yard and anything like that.
I don't have grass around me, but not a problem.
Got kiddies.
Haha.
Yeah, it sucks.
If I were you, you and I, so she just moved to a condo, no backyard, just pavement everywhere
or like a patio like John has.
And just take them out for,
you know, right in front of the house or just put down like fake astroturf, like my neighbor
did.
And look at shit.
Here's a problem I'm also having though. I'm gonna do an old podcast callback from years
ago. Years ago, I gave branded Pharmahini such shit about buying pieces of grass online and having
them shipped to his house to put on his balcony so his dogs could use it to go to the bathroom.
Nowadays, I wish I had a solution like that so I could just get rid of my hard and have
them use grass. But on principle, I cannot do that because I made fun of Brandon so much about
that. Like four years ago, I was like, can you just make some of the yard like grass and
the rest of it like no escape or whatever it's called where you put down like rocks and
stone and even whatnot. I mean, I know it's a waste of a space, but it just seems to
cause you so much grief.
Based on that logic, too, you won't be able to buy a cold mailbox either. I'm never buying a cold mailbox.
It's okay.
I don't think that'll be an issue in my life.
I think I talked with John about this yesterday, but all of this quarantine that's going on,
I'll talk about John maybe the other day.
Anyway, whatever.
I started watching Doom Patrol, and talked about John maybe the other day. Anyway, whatever. I've started watching Doom Patrol and I finished season one the other day and that's a pretty
surprising show. It's one of those shows I went in like, I don't know, this looks pretty stupid.
And I started watching it. It's pretty good. I wouldn't say it's like the best show ever,
but it's really entertaining. They do some really innovative things. Is anyone else besides John watch that show? No. Not yet. It's really off the wall. They'll do things that are unexpected,
that you wouldn't see, I think, in most any other show. And I think maybe one of the charms of it
is that they don't take themselves seriously. I think if the show took itself really seriously,
I would hate it. Yeah, it's it's it's very aware of itself.
It has a good tone with that.
The voice that that's spoken through the show feels authentic.
It's full of great performances.
Brendan Frazier is is one of the most notable.
But the whole cast is full of amazing performances.
And yeah, it's it also just stays weird and strange almost every single episode. So you don't really know what you're going to be
tuning into. And it also is quite inclusive. Oh, yeah, very much. And diverse. And it's, and it's
also, you know, I'm gonna love this. It's Queer's Fuck. Oh, yeah.
Queerness is a big, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Queerness is a big part of it across the board,
and I appreciate that.
And it also has a big theme that talks about,
it's okay to have problems,
and we all need to be working on our problems,
our own personal problems.
That's a great theme in the show.
Yeah.
And it's incredibly zany. Yeah. And they do a pretty good job
with what is probably a quite of a limited budget. The, the first season came out of DC
universe and DC universe probably wasn't like throwing down Netflix dollars on like the
series. They probably did their best they can with what they had. And it, it, it does
a good job. And season two holds up as well. It's a well-made show.
I'm kind of scared to start watching season two honestly just because I read that they had to
shut down production towards the end because of COVID so that the season really wasn't quite finished.
So I don't want to I'm kind of like hesitant to start it just because I read that. I kind of
wish I hadn't read that. Yeah. Speaking of which, oh, sorry. Nope, that's it.
It's the same yesterday.
I don't know if this happened today or yesterday,
but I just read news and also again,
we're shooting on the 16th.
So this would have been days ago at this point.
You guys hear about Tom Cruise freaking out on his crew
on Mission Impossible?
I, he is, he is crazy AF.
We all know this.
Sometimes he's crazy in awesome ways that are like actually good.
And if you read the transcriptions of what he specifically said when he went off those individuals
that were on set that were gathering too close to your monitor, it's it's perfect messaging.
And it's it's got sentiment behind it because he's like he's not just yelling at them because
he was want to shut down the the the filming for selfish reasons. He like points out it's like, he's not just yelling at them because he's just wanna shut down the filming for selfish reasons.
He like points out it's like,
you'd be causing this person their job
and there's people losing their homes
that need us to be saying the gold standard
of how these productions work for us to be able
to continue people having their work
and you are ruining that for people.
He's not gonna be like,
you're shutting down my movie so I can't be a star.
He's like, no, this guy over there,
that guy over there, you're gonna take away his job.
You okay with that?
You do it again, you're off my fucking life.
So he was in like executive producer, but...
Right, yeah.
What do you was talking about?
I've been on sets where executive producers scream.
It's pretty common.
They got to get the point across to a lot of people who probably aren't listening.
I haven't heard it, but I assume that's what he was doing.
Yeah, I mean, essentially, it says that, you know,
there, it's the future of the movie making industry.
That's the only reason they can make this,
because of the protocols they set,
and they're essentially testing these protocols
to see how other movies can adopt them and use them.
And that if they fail,
it's a failure for the industry as a whole.
And that tons of people would be out of work.
And I read also that they had shut down production
on that film for a few days in Italy
because of COVID problems,
which is why I'm sure.
It's apparently months behind.
Right. I'm sure he didn't want it to happen again or, you know, have it get worse,
which is probably why he was so pissed off.
It's, it was just, I agree with it.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I'm sure you.
I didn't bring it up in a way to be like, oh, you hear Tom Cruise crazy again,
but no, like I, I'm like, no, I actually agree with the sentiment.
Like, we're gonna take this seriously and be responsible.
Yeah.
agree with the sentiment, like, we're gonna take this seriously and be responsible.
Yeah.
It's, it's, it's nice to see someone do that from the industry, not from the perspective of they were costing him money, but they were going to cost
money from people who very much need that paycheck.
But they were costing him money too.
Sure.
But, but, but, but nowhere, the- nowhere of the transcription did he bring that up.
We all know that's there. We know that's in his mind, but he didn't need to bring that
up. He was, he was very much poignant on like what, what he was trying to get across.

You got to eat. Speaking of movies, I finally watched Tenet last night.
When can we finally talk about that movie on the podcast? Is it once it's available for rental?
Because it'll be available now. No, it's available for sale now, but it's not available for
digital rental until January. I can't make you let me be on that episode, but I would love to.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, we should wait until most people who want to see it in this country can see it.
Okay.
Well, wait till after it's available for for rental.
And then we'll talk about it after that.
Listen, this is on a spoiler, but I was in a meeting the other day where people were talking
about tenant and some people were like, oh, I didn't really like it.
And I was like, what?
Like, did I see the same movie?
I think I've seen it like three times now just because like I've known different friend
groups who've had private screenings over the last few months.
So I just said yes to all of them because I just wanted to see it.
And I was just surprised like, especially people at Rucherychee that would expect it to
be up everyone's alley.
I can see why I didn't love it. I can see why people wouldn't like it. And I was just surprised, like, especially people at Richard T. Tha would expect it to be up everyone's alley. I can see why I can love it. I can see why people wouldn't like it. Yeah.
I like it. I could get using. Yeah.
People, it's just very Nolan. Like if you don't like his stuff, the other like it.
Nolan is device device. Have already as it is. Like a lot of people just don't like his style.
I'm with you, Barb. I'm like, I devour Nolan's filmography. Love it. Done Kirk is one of my favorite movies
of all time. And Tenet will probably be up there the more that I watch it and really
think about it. But I've learned, and this is confusing to me, but I'm trying to take
this in, that a lot of people go to movies and experience movies
for differing reasons.
It's not so, there's different tastes,
but people also seek to get something for movies
that are different from others.
And so, if Tenet doesn't provide that experience
that you want to get from a movie,
that's why they don't like it.
Yeah, maybe that's okay.
Maybe they were looking for good, easy to hear dialogue. If that's your goal in watching a movie. That's why they don't like it. That's okay. Maybe they were looking for good,
easy to hear dialogue. If that's your goal in watching a movie,
Tenet is not the movie for you because everything was muffled as fuck. I take a lot of pride.
I've spent a lot of time calibrating my home entertainment system and my speakers and everything.
And I was like, this won't be a problem for me. I've got everything set up so great. Man,
what the fuck? Why don't you put captions on? The way I've got everything set up so great. Man, what the fuck? You get it.
Why don't you put captions on?
Uh, the way I watched it, there were no captions.
And honestly, if they were re-synthed.
Valid crecis-
Valid crecis-
Valid crecis-
Valid crecis-
No, I agree.
I mean, I had it an impossible time hearing it the first, like, to watch through.
And then the third one, I forget where we're for the third one, but it was, I think it's
the Alamo. And I was like, I don't know if they have a different sound mixing here, but I was like,
oh, I can hear everything in this theater. It's a great decision though, because
because you know, it's no one. So he has control over every aspect of the movie, even like how it's
marketed, all that stuff. But it's almost as though he doesn't want you to hear
all the dialogue the first time around.
Or I'd happen, like it's happened so many times now,
you almost feel like it has to be intentional
with such an intentional filmmaker.
But then again, in the original,
like you know, they did the IMAX preview
of that scene in the dark night,
rise up where they do the,
where the plane gets ripped open
while it's flying all that.
In that, you can hear the original Bane dialogue,
which they replaced almost entirely
with like new ADR stuff.
Yeah.
To the point where the Bane that we got
sounds pretty out of place
for the scene every time in my opinion.
Like the voice is very like very up close on the mic,
because that was never yelling or is never...
But in the original IMAX preview, it sounds like he's in there,
he's like speaking at appropriate volumes and distances
for where the camera is.
Which I assume is what he was going for,
but probably because people couldn't understand
it, they did much more clear up close ADR. But if he's willing to make the change so people
understand it for that, why wouldn't that be like a global change? I guess maybe people
didn't like the new bane as much as the original bane.
I don't know. Also, Nolan also went out of his way to say that other directors were criticizing him and he thought other directors would be too conservative with their sound mixes.
Which I like was weird to me that he was saying it's not my problem it's your problem.
Maybe he has maybe his like personal experience of how his you know auditory system processes you know the sound mix of things around him.
Maybe it's just off and to him, it sounds perfect.
Unless it is actually an immersion thing, though, where he wants it to be chaotic
and loud. And he wants you to not be able to understand stuff.
I'm going to listen to a scene here with my head, I didn't listen to my TV the other day.
I'm listening to headphones on and see if it sounds any better.
It's if anything, uh, some one silly argument you can make is that the fact that you have to listen
more intently is a way for him to pull you into focusing on the movie in a
very immersive way.
It sounds better.
I'm making shit with it.
Yeah, go ahead and watch the whole movie.
All the way through again.
It sounds better.
All right. It's a it's watch the whole movie. All the way through again. It sounds better.
All right.
It's a it's a bonkers movie, though.
I will agree with Gavin about the ADR, which allows me to segue into something I told
Gus I want to talk about.
There's a movie that had a bunch of ADR that makes me think that a lot of like the script
and everything was fixed and altered in post and that movie is
uh how the Grinch stole Christmas the Jim Carey version. Um have you guys watched that?
No. You've never watched the Grinch though Jim Carey won? No. Really?
Barb have you ever watched it? I yeah I've seen it I couldn't tell you like scenes from it
it's been a long time but I have seen it. I I want to have a guess. Have you ever seen the Grinch movie?
I've never seen the Jim Carrey Grinch. I'm more familiar with the cartoon.
So I want to walk you through an interesting realization I had during a rewatching
of the film with my kids this last week. So the Grinch movie with Jim Carey actually spends time creating an origin story for the Grinch as opposed to the cartoon
that you guys have experienced prior. That's where you've seen like the memes of like the
little like kid Grinch have you ever seen those like the little yeah, okay. So in that
movie, the little girl goes in interviews people about to find about the Grinch. And so
she gets in this scene with these two old bitties that I don't think
in the script they ever designate whether or not they are the actual mothers of the
Grinch, aunties of the Grinch or whatever, but the babies of Whoville are the way
that she they explain like how babies are made. They go very much in the realm of like
Storks, but they don't it's not Storks. It's these little umbrella-carried packages,
little little carriages that bring the babies
and drop the babies off at people's houses.
Now, there's a moment where they drop a baby off
and a dude makes a joke about,
oh, our baby's here, sweetie.
He's like, call into his wife and the house.
And then he makes a joke.
He's like, he looks like you're a boss,
which is a reference to like the wife having a
affair with the boss, which a lot of kids won't get, but it's funny as an adult.
But that insinuates that these babies are the product of a union of two hooves.
They don't say whether or not there's actual sexual intercourse, but it is the combination
of two hooves or woohoo.
Yes, woohoo's or woohoo.
Yes, woohoo's my who's.
And so that insinuates that.
So then the Grinch is brought in, they say on a weird wind, and he's dropped off at the house of these two women.
I assume that insinuates that these, these two women are local old lesbians
who are living together as partners. And this is their
baby. And then but also these they're they're having again, this is adult humor. You don't
get if you're not if you're not an adult watching this, but it happens on a night while they're
having a Christmas party at the Christmas party. They have a jar that everyone's put in
their keys in. What's that mean? Everybody? It's a key party. That's a swing or party. That's a swing or party. So these are two old lesbians
that are having a swing or party. So they must be like either buy or pan or something like that.
And so that may be start thinking and this is not backed up by anything involved in the movie. But
that made me think like, is the Grinch, is he, what baby happens when a bunch of queer pansexuals have like some
sort of orgy and then have like everyone, it's just this thing.
Hold it into one.
So he's an orgy baby.
I think he's an orgy baby because he's different, but he's actually like in the end, he
like turns out to be a bit more advanced, I think, than the rest of them because he's actually like in the end, he like turns out to be a bit more advanced,
I think, than the rest of them, because he's got a lot of like tinkering mechanical skills.
He shows off incredible superhuman strength by lifting up the slet at one point.
He's like the hero at the end, everything like that.
So I think the Grinch is like a superior next level evolution in the who race that is caused by a bunch of pansexuals
having an orgy.
I like this.
I like it.
I like what you're going with this.
Yeah.
This movie is a little bit more Netflix.
So we can stream it and verify your claims, Dr. Reisinger.
Yeah.
Is it possible for twins to have two different dads?
I believe I've read of instances where that does happen.
It's extremely, extremely rare, but it can happen.
Wait.
What?
What do you mean?
What?
They have to be fraternal, but I believe it's like,
if two, if you come fertilized at the same,
well, you know, within pretty close proximity of each other
and then develop as fraternal twins,
I think I've read about that happening before.
Yeah, it wouldn't be identical to twins.
It wouldn't be like a separation or a splitting of one embryo.
How do I?
How do I?
Oh, Gavin broke.
Superficundation.
Superficundation is a fertilization of two or more over from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse
Which can lead to twin babies from two separate biological fathers
It's pretty funny in it. What did ask on TikTok?
My old Barbara's been able to say is what?
I don't
You broke her body
What it wake up Barbara? What where do we lose you? All right, so
What? Okay, Barbara, where do we lose you?
All right, so male has intercourse with female, ejaculate sperm.
Spirm fertilizes egg and female.
That egg gets fertilized.
Another man has intercourse with same woman, ejaculates into woman. One of his sperm also fertilizes her egg. What
are we saying? Separate egg. Yeah. Okay. I don't know how a grinch is made. I don't
think I've ever heard of that before. So she gave pregnant by two different men at the
same time. Because I think I think a double egg is just twins the art identical, right?
But then identical twins is the same egg.
I believe that I'm correct.
Identicles are a split egg fraternal are two eggs for
realizing the same time.
Yeah.
So if a couple of dudes monk up there
and nail different eggs, it's possible.
Yes.
If someone posted a picture and nail different eggs as possible. Yes. Watch that.
Someone posted a picture of two sets of twins,
Guy, Guy, Girl, Girl,
and they actually both got married.
And so someone asked,
would the offspring of those two couples
be genetically identical?
And I believe Hank Green chimed in
as he does on TikTok with scientific questions.
And he went into more detail, but essentially he said,
yes, they would be genetically identical.
Because it would be the product of two twins.
Right, that's nuts.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Then you have the perfect, you have the perfect alibi to commit a crime because you could say your DNA I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, there's all kinds of issues on that with people being the same genetically the same, but then there's a bunch of them
What if
I don't know it's a perfect
Alibi didn't commit crimes they can't prove it's you
Seems close to it. I would I wonder if
Their fingerprints are the same
Well, I don't think I don't think says says necessarily they would be that identical in in their entire
biological makeup because I'm not identical to my siblings in biological makeup. But you're not
the same egg though. Yeah, you're not the DNA genetically. You're not the same. But even
identical twins don't have identical fingerprints. Right. I should go back to not be speaking out
of turn. I should read, listen to that TikTok from Hank Green before I say so.
Like this.
But it's still.
We should not all for us just guess even though that's the information.
Let's just talk about Grinch genetics.
Instead of talking about human genetics that we don't understand as much as who.
No, let's just talk about orgies.
Come on.
The fun stuff.
How do you make Babby?
How is Babby formed? How is Bab make baby? How is that be formed?
How is that be formed?
What's that got to with ADR?
Oh, I it was just a segue I use, but I noticed also during watching Grinch,
there's a there's a very specific sound to ADR.
You can tell like what you were talking about, Gavin, you can tell it wasn't recorded in the moment.
They can sometimes try to think they, yeah, sometimes they do a pretty good job of blending it, but sometimes it's very much like that was recorded later. I can
tell. And Grinch has a ton of that. And a lot of it's like little jokes that kind of
sting on to stuff. So you could tell a ton of the, the show's humor comes a lot from
Jim Carrey's improvisational and physical comedy. But you can still tell there was a lot
of stuff they must have come up with later later or he must have recorded another take or something like that
that they kind of really chopped up into the movie. So the movie is quite a, you know, when you're
watching some movies like that movie was edited like crazy, like there's so much that must have been
fixed later on or crafted together as opposed to another to another movie that seems like it's got a lot
of long takes and you could tell people
we're in the same room doing their dialogue
together and that kind of thing.
That's why I couldn't figure out
watching the original Bane scene.
Is that I could, because I'd assume that was also ADR,
but just different take of it.
Because in the final movie, it sounds like his mouth
isn't impeded by anything.
It sounds like he's talking into a megaphone or something.
But in the original clip, it actually sounds like it's got something on his face a little
bit.
But I also don't know if that's the case.
I would assume they didn't use on set audio ever from that mask, because you could even
get anything out through it.
I don't know.
Who knows?
Nolan knows.
It depends on, it depends on like how that mask is interacting with his face and how sound comes out through that mask, because that mask is like a myriad of different like materials that are,
it's not just like just big old like Darth Vader mask. Maybe they stuck on microphone up inside the
mask. It could have been right in front of his head. I might. I might have. What does that, I think
that would have sounded like shit probably.
They also started the movie off with Bane inside of an airplane talking.
Yeah.
Like you got airplane noise and then you got Bane with a mask.
Like you just add a bag on. Yeah.
I remember he does have a bag. He's being black.
Yeah, he literally is talking through the mosque into a megaphone.
Oh, yeah.
I remember even woke up when I watched that I max preview, which was the beginning of that movie, you know, where he like boards the plane and they ripped the wings off and do all that shit.
I remember watching. Yeah. Yeah, it was on I max. And I was just I remember at one point when,
you know, they they they have the plane and they're doing all that shit. I was just shaking my
head and my sequin. No, it's just showing off at this point, right? Like,
this is such a ridiculous set piece to, to film and to show it, to like, to start your movie. And
then to show it off as a preview in I max. What did, how did you feel when, when, uh, Nolan bought
a plane just to run it into a building for tenet? I thought it, I thought it looked good. I think
that's, uh, that was a smart move. It always looks for tenet. I thought it looked good. I think that's a smart move.
It always looks better that way.
I thought if anything in that scene,
I thought the building they crashed the plane into looked shitty.
Like it looked like a temporary construction
that they built to crash a plane into.
Like a plane part looked good,
but then like the part they crashed it into,
looked like it was a modified extra part of a building
that they slammed onto an existing building
to crash a plane into for the second.
I think it's just, I think I said this before,
it's just the ultimate future proofing,
by not using big CG creations in the middle of a shot.
Like you sweetened stuff with CG,
but having most stuff real and also shooting it
on like 70 millimeter cameras,
that's going to look good compared to the stuff that's shot like 80 years from now.
I think I hold up.
I read it was a ridiculously, I don't remember, I'm going to top my head.
It was a ridiculously low number of CG shots in 10.
I want to say it was like only like 230 visual effects for that film.
Yeah.
And I think was it done Kirk?
I think he said that there was no green screen used in the entire film, um, which is
wild to watch it like that.
Um, and yeah, I mean, inception, that gimbal he built for the hallway scene.
Yeah, that was practical, right?
That's all practical.
It's fucking Joseph Gordon.
Love it being tumbled around in a big old washing machine.
Yeah.
So, yeah, time. practical, it's fucking Joseph Gordon Levin being tumbled around in a big old washing machine. Yeah, so tenet has under 300 VFX shots. And for reference, we talked about this several
weeks ago, how many was it? Parasite had like 900? Like it was a ridiculously high amount
that you would never imagine for that movie. Like, Parasite had like 900 and tenet has
like a third of those. On your next episode, Paris, like,
on your next episode or next viewing of a Paris like us,
you should try to count all 900 VFX shots.
That that movie does a really good job of hiding them.
I've seen some of like the BTS stuff where they they show what they did
and it's it's fucking bonkers.
It's it's absolutely insanity.
I mean, that whole house none of that house really exists.
It's like a piece of a set built out in the middle of nowhere.
And it looks like it's part of a house in a neighborhood.

Can you guess how many CG shots are in Star Wars Episode three revenge of the Sith?
Oh God.
Oh, 6,000.
Not you go a little high, but it is a lot.
1500. 200, 2,151 VFX shots. Yeah, and there was like 2,000 attack of the clones and like, yeah, and they did do a
ton of practical stuff too.
There's a ton of models in those pre-cool movies that are like covered in CG and let's
sweeten with CG to the point where it actually makes it look CG even though a lot of it was deceptively real. However, there are like, there's the BTS footage of like them
in the doing like that that factory scene from the end of it. They're just in, they're just in blue.
It's just them in blue interacting with nothing, which must be just so hard to do.
Who was it? Did they say at one point filming Lord of the Rings that Ian McKellen just broke down?
He couldn't handle it anymore.
Like it broke his brain.
Like he just started crying.
He's like, I can't do this.
I don't know what we're doing.
I can't see anything.
That's me every second day of quarantine.
Have you seen the BTS footage of Ian McKellen talking to Frodo at the table where it's
like they do the force perspective thing
to me, Elijah would look small.
But on a moving shot, everything else needs to be moving.
So they've got like the camera moving on a dolly
and they've got Elijah Wood in the background
moving at the same speed.
So it looks like they're sat at the same table.
But it's so cool.
And then Ian McKellen's looking over there
and Elijah was looking over there and the
legend was looking over there. It's like, oh my God, it's like moving actors to keep
them still. It's like the opposite of what you usually do, right? But in the end, the
vinyl product was amazing. Those shots look, they look phenomenal. Yeah. They look great.
Clever. Yeah, I don't know how they figured all that stuff out. I'm always so impressed
of just like the capabilities of humanity to figure things out and solutions
out for things that they want.
Yeah, a lot of maths involved in stuff like that.
Oh, I don't know if you.
Game movements.
Yeah.
I don't know if you guys have watched the Imagineering story on Disney Plus.
Yeah.
But like, you guys should absolutely check it out.
Just like them figuring out how rides work
and how things in the park work
and how to build things and how to construct
all these different aspects of the park.
It's just insane to me that human beings
are capable of doing that.
I just like me being like,
oh, I don't know how to calculate this thing here.
I'm hoping.
If you want to see the other end of that spectrum,
you should watch that documentary I talked
about a couple of weeks ago, a class action park where it's just like some guys drew rides
on the back of an apkin.
They were like, I don't know.
Let's see if we can build it.
Oh God.
Yeah, literally the polar opposite.
Yeah.
So people with no engineering or math background.
That happened was it like a year ago, a friend of mine asked, why don't
Teslas have solar panels on the roof? They might have been two years ago. It might have
been when I first got my Model 3. They asked, why doesn't your Model 3 have a solar panel
on the roof? And I thought, that's an interesting question. So I just like, did a few Google
searches, did some math. I forget what the numbers are up top of my head now
But I was like, oh, you know the solar panel would add this much weight and you know if you'd operated that this
Presend efficiency and you got this many hours of
Sunlight a day you would only increase your range by X number of miles, which outweighs the benefit from the weight of the extra
Solar panels and then he just was like I don't even know where I'd begin answering that question
How did you even start?
What's the step one of figuring that out?
I was like, I don't know, I'm just,
just start googling, just start trying to figure it out.
There's just people who are like,
there's people who just invent the answers to that.
Like they will not invent, but like,
I just, people are so smart.
I just, it's impressive.
I'm like,
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, People are so smart. I just, it's impressive. It's. That's a, that's a title for the
Sweetest Podcast.
People are so smart.
People are smart.
It's not.
It's so smart.
People like smart coming
soon to the Root Key story.
Whenever people call me dumb,
I'm just like, yeah, I am dumb.
In the current speed of things,
I'm an idiot.
You're correct.
Thank you for noticing.
Thank you for not nothing. Speaking of,
did we ever talk about that family speaking of smart? Do we ever talk about that family that was
stranded in the Pacific Ocean with no food and no water for a couple of weeks? And you told me
about it. I'm not sure if you told on here, though. I'm not sure if we talked about it on the podcast.
This is family. And they were, I believe they were sailing around the world and their boat sank in the Pacific and they weren't
on any shipping lane. They were super isolated. So they got into like a life raft and they
had no food, no water. And they survived. I forget how long they survived. I want to say
it was like four weeks. They survived for several weeks by giving themselves animals
of seagull blood and ocean water?
Pardon?
Apparently the mother of the family was a nurse
and knew that you could hydrate people.
If in extreme cases you could hydrate people via animals
and they couldn't drink ocean water because they would dehydrate them.
So whenever they found a dead seagull they would use the seagull's blood
but they would give themselves animals that way in order to keep themselves hydrated.
Their body would absorb the water, but not taking any of the salt.
What, what did they, how did they administer the animal?
They didn't get into specifics of how it was done, but apparently it was like, they had
no choice. Like they had to stick stick shegal blood. I mean they survived
Right without without good tubing the only way I can imagine getting that up there would be
To just blow it up someone's ass with your mouth. Yep, and just swallow it. Yep
I mean, that was that man what is what where bear girls poured
He gave himself an animal.
I'm not sure if he actually did it, but they've blurred out like a tube and he was pouring
like rancid water that he found in some bird nest on the side of a cliff, which he said
would have made him throw up and dehydrated if he drank it, but your digestive tract
can absorb what if you put it up your asshole.
Kevin, question for you.
I'm rough.
Yeah.
You love your family.
Right?
Would you, would you blow a seagull blood of their assholes to help them survive?
Do you think you could do it?
Yeah.
For sure. Yeah, you get to the point where like on the
brink of death, you just throw a lot of cultural norms out the
window, wouldn't you? You would just be like every can to live.
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
So it happened in 19, this happened in 1971, the story that I'm
talking about. I just looked it up.
Wow, so they definitely hadn't watched Bad Girls.
Was Bad Girls even alive?
When was he born?
He might have been a little bad.
Maybe just.
Bad Girls.
First day.
They survived for 37 days in a ninth of dinghy. So what was the reasoning behind the
seagull blood? Was that just some sort of nutrients that water didn't have? I believe so. I'm trying
to find a specific, I read this article a while ago, but so I don't remember all the specifics
about it. I'm trying to find it again. Seagull blood. I'm actually need to kill so many seagulls to get off.
Yeah, I'm moving right now.
How much blood is in this seagull?
So I'm going to read.
How much seagull blood fits up human ass.
How many seagulls worth of blood?
So I'm going to read the quote here.
Their mother rubbed turtle oil on saltwater, on the saltwater boils and tried to keep them all
hydrated with makeshift animal tubes made from the rungs of a ladder. There you go. It was, it was
her nursing background. She knew the water at the bottom of the dinghy was poisonous if taken
orally because it was a mixture of rainwater, blood, and turtle awful. But if you take it, rectally, the poison doesn't go through the digestive system.
So that's all awful. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. God. Not not something I hope I ever have to do myself
or ever have to find out. Sounds awful. How long were they at C4? Just out of curiosity. Did you ever mention that?
37 days they had to survive that way. How do they know? And you think like,
four of you sucks. Yeah. There's about five ounces of blood in a European
herring goal. And that's if you're really ringing out the bud.
Yeah, that's a big, that's a big one.
That's the biggest that they usually get.
And so they said on average, it's 10% of their body weight.
They average 3.4 pounds.
That's 54.4 ounces.
So it's five and a half ounces of blood,
in a big old chonker.
You gotta appreciate them not turning into cannibalism,
because I'm sure that would be much more pleasant than...
Eating a person is more pleasant
than sticking a turtle up your ass.
That's cool.
Ha ha ha.
Wonder how we could title the podcast after that.
Of course it would be.
If you had just like a dude, you could eat,
you could make that last. But this person's alive. None of these people were dead. That's the thing you'd have to kill them and then eat them
Well, that's what cannibalism is right you don't just wait for someone to drop off
You thought I mean whack him in the air while they're asleep
Well, like there was that plane crash in the andies where they ate the people who died in the plane crash
John or party. Yeah, I'm saying I'm like that counts as cannibalism,
but once you're accountable,
you're probably going to be into murder.
I guess well, if you're that wrong, but I think they were just trying to find
any solution where they didn't have to kill and eat someone.
They were already saying I'm impressed.
The the playing people.
Yeah, they already did, right?
Yeah. You said they ate the people who died.
Yeah, so they didn't have to actually kill anyone. Yeah, totally different. You said they ate the people who died? Yeah. So they didn't have to actually kill anyone.
Yeah, totally different.
You said to eat the people who are already dying.
Yeah.
But I'm saying, you know, when people tend to cannibalism, that desperate people, it's extreme
situations.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Or they always wanted to try human flesh.
I've always wanted to eat.
If you had to eat anybody from history, who would you eat?
If you had to eat somebody from history, you have to pick.
I don't want to answer.
Someone to eat from his.
Oh, I know.
I've got a good answer.
I would eat, I would eat Ginghis Khan.
Why?
He was like a super powerful warlord.
I want to absorb his power by eating him.
I want to eat someone who was like a professional dietician or something who ate really well
for their entire life and would just, you know, be healthy and maybe someone gross fed.
If something is some leotate, just like gross, I probably can't.
Some vegan.
We eat gross fed beef.
There's irony there that the people who don't eat meat
would probably taste the best.
Yeah, that's true.
Gus, he's still vegan, buddy.
Numbers.
I'm not.
Oh, dogs. Game buddy. Numbers. I'm not.
Oh, dogs.
Yeah, nobody else gave an answer of who they would eat.
I've just never, I find that you would always wanted to eat human. I find that to be just gross.
A little disturbing disgusting.
Very disturbing.
I've never watched Hannibal. I mean, I feel like the best part of the reason I
started eating a vegan diet for so long was I wanted to try new foods. I was
sick of all the foods I already knew. So I wanted to try something new. And this
would be like the ultimate new food to try. But you probably haven't got
anywhere near eating all the foods that you can eat before you have to
to eat. I use all the readily accessible food that I can eat around here.
So I like you should just agree that to China.
That's why I said get that.
Cons. Yeah.
When we go back to the studio, guys, you could stay working from home.
It's okay.
You don't have to come in in person.
You stay very far away, very distanced from us.
Have you tried any of those kind of electric masks?
Have you tried any of those headable liquor masks?
Have you tried any of those delicacies that
like a balloon or that rotten fish in a box and all that stuff?
Where would you get that?
Where would you get balloon?
You could probably go to a foreign supermarket.
Not far off a supermarket with foreign aisles and stuff.
I'm not privy to what balloon is.
It's like a, it's an egg, but instead of it unfertilized.
Copy.
Now I know you're talking about a little baby chick thing that you just
did.
We probably have markets somewhere in Austin that have those because we have
some international markets that have stuff like that.
Blue.
Look, if I can get a jar of Branson pickle in Austin, you can probably get Balloot.
So I'm looking it up.
I'm doing a search on Yelp.
Fight too much cheese I get blooded.
Nice.
I've got it.
I see an Asian market.
I'll send you a video, I'll livestream it to you, Gavin.
You'll livestream you eat in a...
I'm gonna feed you.
Feet is... There might be a... That's quite a turn to go from being a vegan Yeah, Evan. You'll live streaming in a fetus.
There might be a... That's quite a turn to go from being a vegan
to just eating like a little baby chick.
Well, what do you think chicken nuggets come from?
I'm not saying that I'm not saying that like
eating other animals is disgusting.
I'm just saying you, the guy who went vegan,
then just go out and just grab a little chicken. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. I would just have an issue with who went vegan, then just go, just a little check.
No, no, no, no, no.
I would just have an issue with the texture of some of the stuff.
Like, at least in a nugget, it may all be in there,
but you can't really see or tell if you're in a beak or feathers.
The presentation matters.
The presentation matters.
It depends what shape of the nugget.
Everyone knows the boot is made out of beaks.
That is a well-known fact.
Speaking of well-known facts, we should probably wrap this up.
We got a...
What?
I want to thank everyone for watching.
Hopefully everybody had some good holidays
and getting through this unusual holiday together.
