An audible showed up, which was like... Yeah, so then last week, I think they realized it

and that scrambled on their own. Do we ever take a day off? We have never taken a week off. The clip show is arguably... Although we were on that. We were on that. I mean, and neither of us wanted to take that off. Right.

It was an interesting idea. You got to try new things try new things in addition It's always important when you create content on a regular basis To give the audience a reason to hate you occasionally You have to do that look how bad it could be and this is what you get Yeah, what is the worst clip show like in the TV TV show you see? Like, not like the worst explain, like passed off. I think that thing on the Oscars where they make fun of all the dead people's weird. I don't know, I don't know what the worst.

Worst clip show ever? Well, like for instance, like Star Trek, like a Riker just got sick, and they're like, we need to relive his memories to make him better. So then they just showed, it's like, what's the worst excuse for having a clip show? Is there a link in the episode?

Are there ever setups like that? Plotwise for clip shows, I always think it's just like, I think so. Hey, we're doing a clip show. No, friends had one, right? It was, My vlog this week is totally like revisiting the year and talking about stuff.

But it's like, it's an active look back. It's not, a friend's clip show, but now I'm rethinking it might be a clip. You're at the end, I think, is that's different. Also, I'm wrapping up the vlog. So the Seinfeld finale turned into a clip show for the member of the... Yeah. Yeah. They had clip shows during Seinfeld as well, though. Yeah.

We're like, Jerry would come and be like, oh, hello there. We've had some crazy stuff over the last hundred episodes. Here it is. Haha. I'll be clear. That's when TV shows were like 20 episodes a season. Like now it's like eight to ten. Well, depending on the show. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that big bang theory, they're still cranking those at 20. Oh, major networks.

So the season, yeah, the prime time, half hour sitcoms, we just don't know what half hour sitcoms the way we used to. Yeah. Like that used to be my primary source of entertainment. I didn't watch hour-long dramas like Game of Thrones are breaking bad or how many episodes are in someone like Brooklyn 999 I think they do like 22 episodes really I thought it was tons a lot of times when you

mean go to Netflix and look it up and see but if you look at the first season it's sometimes be like eight episodes 10 episodes yeah like the first season of Breaking Bad is like that I think the first season of Breaking Bad is like six episodes and then they move to like 10 and then normal full if you look yeah I guess maybe I'm just thinking of non network TV like all the random cable channels or pre-missed you look at Luther they did six four four two fucking British TV man yeah it hadn't been on the F two years came back for two episodes and then went off the blistering pace he's busy during the busy.

Wasn't black mirror like that where they had the second season and then like the Christmas special and it was like this long gap between them. And also the office, right, the UK. They were ice-soaked. That was recently, I forget what it was, but one of the people that it was an actor and they said, I'm just exhausted.

I've been in this British sitcom for six years and we've made like 10 episodes. That's like, they needed a break. Was it, did it know a curb your enthusiasm take like five years off? Was it only five? I thought it was longer than that. Curb your enthusiasm took up five years. I didn't think, no, I thought it was like a year or two.

No, you're crazy. It's been a long time. No, you're crazy. You're crazy. Dead rising. Do you feel bad doing stuff like this on Christmas day? Well, I know it's not Christmas day for us, but I always felt bad It's like six years going on the internet when I should be with my family. No, no, I feel fine about it

I think all of you should feel terrible for why not people people to be in the scape they need a they need a Yeah, they need to hear about audible calm Yeah, immediately after escapes they need to hear about audible.com. They need, yeah, immediately after the escapes. Immediately after the podcast. Just, it's then go and sit in the corner and listen to an audiobook for the rest of the day. Then you won't have to talk to your family.

Some people looking bored on Christmas. Yeah, I always felt bad like just being on my phone on Christmas, but then I'm just sat there just like, staring. Yeah. Because everyone else on their phone. Yeah. I think, I imagine sitting around before smartphones, like, I don't, well, I mean, I lived it. Yeah, but it's like, the phone. Yeah. I think, imagine sitting around before smartphones,

like, I mean, I lived it. Yeah, but it's like, you were a lot younger then, but as an adult being like, yeah, so what are we gonna talk about? That's why movies, that summer and Christmas,

those are the two big seasons for opening movies, because at Christmas, you know, they put Star Wars movies out of Christmas, there's the reason why they do that. It's a big season, but that's the opposite of summer. Very good. Yeah, good point.

Hey Gus, write that one down. Christmas is the opposite of summer. But yeah, it's always the family day movies that come out on Christmas. What's the opposite of Halloween? pancake that Easter. What is, but you'll say it's like Christmas and summer is the movie times.

Because may or may or available to go see movies. And people are sitting around with their parents. That's more the summer No summer. I think it's like June July July we work for no summers when school ends right but we were but the whole time but you okay Let me go back to my original point you with your family. You're all trapped there together You think with my family on summer and Christmas Christmas together. And Christmas. Christmas. The other thing we were talking about originally, the opposite of summer. Right. See this is what happens. You get

together with people that you know for a long time and you're forced to talk to them. And then you're saying, let's go see a movie. You and I right now. Let's get up and walk out because this is the only way I want to interact with you for the rest of the day now. I want to go sit in a dark room. You know, it's the style. In the same direction for two hours. You're always looking for something to do. Always, at Christmas. Always.

But not a summer. But, okay, listen. I don't know why you think summer, you came up with summer being the opposite. I'm saying movies come out in two major seasons. Oh, I was just trying to get you to explain why summer is a good time for you. But it's three major dates. Memorial day shouldn't be the same thing. And I was like, kid throw up from school.

Yeah, people have time off. People have time off. People have time off. Right. For me, I don't take time off in summer. Right. Neither do you. You did when you were a student.

Yeah. For most people. And when you have kids, you're looking for something to do with kids. Sure. So you're in that weird, like, no man's land between being a kid and having kids. But no man's land, I call the rest of my life. Hahaha. Are you really?

No kids? No kids man. It's awesome. Gavin, Brandon? Oh I definitely want a kid. I want one but it's just so much money and we were not, we're having issues with our dogs like health stuff and it's like I can't imagine how hard it is

for people who have like human kids to deal with that Like you could probably want to eat lube. It's not a lube thing Like it's like they have like legit they legitimately have pneumonia both of them as opposed to illegitimate pneumonia Fair enough I mean is there legitimately sick? It's not like you know one of them ate lube like they have like legitimate health Grumpy right now they have pneumonia. Yeah, they're one of them ate lube, like they have like legitimate health grubb, they're not grubb, right now. They have pneumonia. Yeah. They're one of them giving pneumonia to the other? That's how that works.

No, I think probably Vader got something and gave it a penny because he constantly, like, licks her in the face. Cause like, he loves her, but she always just kind of, you know, tolerate them. Is it dog pneumonia, or is it just pneumonia that a human can have? The dog has like stuff, like fluid in his lungs.

So it's, it's the same, same, same, basic thing is when the human can have it. Yeah, but it's dog pneumonia different lungs. So it's, it's the same, same, basic thing is when the human. Yeah, but it's dog pneumonia different than like, people in the morning, I see what you're saying. Like, can a human catch it? No, pneumonia is not contagious. You get pneumonia from something else. Like a bronchial infection or something?

Yeah, you're bronchitis and then you, you get pneumonia. Yeah, you could spread the disease, the underlying disease that caused it. I got walking pneumonia in 2011. How? Ish, January. What does that mean?

What's the difference between pneumonia and walking pneumonia? I think it means you're not bedridden, but you have pneumonia. Is it, is it, is it, is it just, you can just get up? Isn't all pneumonia walking pneumonia except you're not lazy? No. You're not a baby about it? No, there's people that are bedridden because they can't get into oxygen because pneumonia is fluid in your lungs.

This is a really nice conversation for Christmas day, by the way. Some people have pneumonia today. Did you? Because you had pneumonia for a way. Some people have new money today. Did you? Because you had no money for new money. Try walking around and see if that helps. See if you've got it walking the money. If it doesn't, then don't. You know, you do not have walking the money.

Please, we are not medically approved to give it to you. What? Every disease starts as walking disease. Like you get walking AIDS until you die. I have walking death and then that's what I am. I guess if you're hit by a truck, it's not really a disease. It's just kind of, what's the thing?

Is there anything that's instant that's not physical? Like an illness? Yeah. That would be great to come home though from the doctor and sit down, you're significant other and say, the good news is it's walking cancer. I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna lie not and then I'll be fine. I'm gonna be fine, not.

And then I'll be dead. Everything's good until it's not. Everything's good until it's not. Brandon taught me a phrase years ago that I thought he made up, because I'd never heard it before. Is it, what is the phrase? Is it, it is what it is?

It is what it is. Do you know what it is? No, I had never heard it before Brandon said it. This is years ago, it's like six years ago. Brandon goes, what are you gonna do? It is what it is. I go, that's a great saying, Brandon. It is what it is. And he's like, yeah. I didn't forget. I invented it. I know. But you know, I we had this moment. And years later, I found out everyone says it. Why did you find out? I would take credit for that too. Like yeah, that's a, that's a, that's a form of anything.

I told Teddy until he was five years old that I invented the color red. That we didn't have it. The name red? Oh no, the whole color. We never had it before. Just blood was gray. He asked about blood as like no, it was in the same color.

Did he ever confront you about it? He brings it up now as a joke. Also, I don't know if you guys remember this. You might not have gone that direction, but just passed our office on slaughter back the old office, the Ralph Oblinato office. There was like a big lot that was all those cedar trees, those fucking nine years trees.

Oh, yeah, I love that. And so they cut them off to like stumps. And we were driving by and Teddy said, oh, they cut down all the trees. Look at, it's all stumps. And we were driving by and Teddy said, oh, they cut down all the trees. Look at it, it's all stumps. He was like three or four. And I said, I did that. I cut down all those trees.

I did it last week. And for years, he said, we eat all the cut down all those trees. He thought I cut down all the trees and he thought that I invented the color red. I have a big time. Obviously, that would be way too much. You got to have different parts of your career.

How can you believe anything you say? Like, does he? I don't know. I don't encourage him to believe me. Are there any lies that are still currently going? You know, life's good. Everything will turn out well. I'll make a good one.

Just the hope stuff. No, they're done with like Chris, I don't know, people are, if you're watching the RT podcast, you still believe in Santa, I'm sorry, there is no Santa, so he doesn't believe in Santa, he's 12. They haven't believed in a long time. I think once you have an older sibling, that's just off the table. What if someone's watching this

with their family on Christmas Day and the little young one? Big mistake. You should not be doing that. Really a huge mistake. Yeah, the more damage being done to that kid, then just finding out that Stan is not real. We were just talking about walking it.

Yeah, I think they would have turned it off at walking it. Stan is not just not real, he's dead. He's just died. Yeah, that's why we have climate change. He had walking pneumonia and then he didn't. He was our frost guardian and we let him die. And now the world's gonna end. Well, the name's the reindeer. Blit. We are how personal how many are there?

11 I want to say 11 as well. I thought it was eight also But that I think it was one where the name is like it varies like it used to be something and that was something else and Cubans one of them right on our blitzin. No, I think don is the one that's donner is didn't blitzin comment So are they going order in order on donner like from the back of the comments Cupid Cupid's one of them right Maybe it's stupid. Maybe it's the one he hates Cupid is right get fucked Both there was a look Patrick you have it on tape. I'm sorry What's the official source for this is this can it? It is eight named reindeer eight nice eight name

Okay, good good Rudolph. Oh no, okay, Rudolph's there. No Rudolph was like a retcon He's a retcon yeah, yeah, oh He's a wreck The mythology of the reindeer didn't make sense He's a wreck. The mythology of the reindeer didn't exist. He's stuck. What did wreck on the reindeer come along? They fixed some other stuff.

When they did the Rudolph story, it was a new character, but then they fixed some other stuff with the reindeer. The special edition name, that's way better than the original reindeer. Donner, I'm Blitzin. I think comment on Cupid. I think Donna was the one that wasn't cool. Wait, wait, no, don't interrupt him,

because there's that rhyme. Comment on Cupid. I'm lost though, that's it. I'm stuck after that one. I'm just singing the song. I'm trying. Who sings that crap? Christmas shit. I don't even know which one has all the reindeer names. Well, no, you're thinking of the, that's the Rudolph song that has all the names. You're thinking of Gavin is Donner and Blitzin used to be called Dunder and Blixin. Right. That was it. And the names got changed at one point.

Well, because it's probably not English and that was Dunder and Mixim. Right, that was it. And the names got changed at one point. Well, because it's probably not English. And that was Dunder and Mifflin. That's not very good. It's not very good. I thought it was funny. Go, who's after comment and cupid? Now, Dasha, now, Dasha, that's prancer.

That's prancer, now, prancer and Vixen on comment on cupid, on Dunder and Blixim. So, it's a weird name for a reindeer. But, it's like, hey, what's up, Blixin? How you doing? How you doing? He's pumping the back of that one reindeer.

It's like, Blixin and Cupid? Is it the German, like, is this the German? It says that the names are thought to have come from a poem by Clement Seymour called, A Visit from St. Nicholas. Someone just found it is shopping list. What culturally, like, I'm looking at a few, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm list. What culturally like? I'm looking it up to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm finding information. I'm sorry. I'm relaying it to you. I cannot look it up any faster. Did you wish people have read this? Sorry, I believed in you. What did it was each of the candles name? He was born in the United States. They don't have names for the candles.

Why would he? I would. Waxian Melty. Wico. Wico. So he knows, he's an American who wrote that poem. Supposedly, allegedly. All right.

Well, I think we've all learned something today. Do the eight days of Hanukkah do they have a theme? Eight nights. Man, we should have Barbara here. I know she. Where's Barbara? Anybody else Jewish around here? Dredals.

You know, any like a theme, like is there like a, oh like every night, is there like a reference? One is like remembrance and one is gratitude or something like that. Hanukkah nightly. What's like grievances? You know, I mean, like a theme, like, is there like a, oh, like every night? Is it like remembrance and one is gratitude or something that Hanukkah nightly grievances? You know, I mean, awesome one. I always liked, uh, best of us. Yeah, we would air grievances. It's like that's the one that everybody actually looks for too.

Oh, yeah, it also buffers like test of strength one year. It's a strength. Have you ever seen the, like that movie where they kill everybody? Like one day a year. That's a lot of movies. The purgey that purgey. Thank you. Have you ever seen the episode of Seinfeld where before they cast Jerry's dad as George. Yeah, Frank Stensa. It's really weird to see like a different actor in that in that role

There was a different wasn't there a different Kramer in the pilot am I remembering that no the Kramer in the pilot There's no Elaine Well, and the waitress name was the creamer in the pilot. There's no Elaine. Right. And the waitress. The creamer's name was not creamer in the pilot. Oh, right. It was Kessler. Right. And the waitress is like a character.

Yeah. The waitress at the coffee shop. At Moes. Is everything in here? No, it's monks. Munks, yeah. Man, that show, it seems like we're like trying to remember a classic show that's like, oh, I just went off the air

and we can't remember the things. It went off in 1999. It's almost 20 years gone at this point, which is fucking crazy. Yeah, but it never goes away. Now I get it, but I'm not watching it. I've seen it. I watch it.

I probably watch an episode a day. I will say when it comes on and I see it, I will continue to watch it. I won't turn away from it. So you just have the TV on in the background? It's just, I don't do that. What you're saying, I don't do that anymore. Like even in a it. I won't turn away from it. So you just have the TV on in the background? It just, I don't do that. What you're saying, I don't do that anymore. Like, even in a hotel, I don't turn on the TV

and just go through channels. To me, my actual TV is like the radio for me. So I'm not just gonna turn the radio on. Have I ever told you about the insane thing that Matt Holland does? Go on. I mean, this is legitimately insane. I must have brought it up before.

Could I have a guess? Yes. Is this how many dozen is office? No, it's how many dozen of car when we go to other cities and you rents a car. Because I don't drive with him here. Oh, you have told me. Yeah.

What does it do? He goes like wearing L.A. and he listens to radio on the scan function where it'll go to a station, it plays it for three to five seconds, and then it goes to the next station down the band. So we can find a song No, that's amazing. Oh, yeah, it doesn't ever stay. He just puts it on scan and that's it You never get bored. That's a lunacy look at the face of Gavin That's amazing is the equivalent of like releasing a load of bees in my head

Why would I want? What is that? I think it because I think it's like what just it's not interesting enough by itself Just to listen to one channel. What do you think? And you just want to spend a time in like, the way everyone consumes media is not interesting. No, no, no, no, but like, but like if you're at like another city, you don't really know much about the stations, you're just like, I'm just not gonna like spend the time committing one place, you're gonna go through the whole thing. So this podcast for four seconds and listening to another podcast for four seconds and then coming back and you've missed the last four seconds

I do want to point something out. Oh my god That just last week on the podcast you were talking about watching a movie through a transparent screen to watch another movie But I'm not I'm just watching one movie But I want to watch you watching two movies and once this is this brand is now represents the practical application of your theory and you see how just insane it is. I will continue to welcome this theory. Moniacol. Psychopathic.

There's a great thing early on in season two of the wire, where like one of the kids who's grown up, you know, Polarys never left Baltimore's whole life, they're driving to New York to go meet with some drug dealers and as he's leaving, like the radio stations fading out and he's completely like, what's wrong with New York to go meet with some drug dealers. And as he's leaving, like the radio station's fading out. And he's like, what's wrong with the radio? Why can't I hear it?

And the driver's like, because we're leaving, we have to listen to like New York radio stations now. So have you never left the city before? That's a, but that's a, that's a really great writing tool that says so much about the character. You get that in that moment. It's a unique way to say it. As opposed to crossing a bridge and the character saying,

I've never been outside of Baltimore before. You know, it's just like, that's what I think some of the people had the problem. Miles in particular, not to put words in anyone's mouth, but that was his big problem with the Star Wars movie is how much it held the audience's hand. You know, we talked a little bit about that. Love the spoiler part of last week's podcast.

Kids like him. Get's right, that's right. Kids like Star Wars. I like Star Wars. I love the spoiler part of last week's podcast. Kids like it. Gets right. That's right. Kids like Star Wars. I like Star Wars. I like Star Wars. That was good. That was fun. Porcs were cute. I liked them. Oh, the little thing that I prefer porcs that you walk. Why don't they just make new a new round of furbies that up poulgs? You know what they should make? I wish I could license something from Star Wars because I totally make these. You know what they should make? I wish I could license something from Star Wars because I totally make these. Light sabers?

No, still like that on a Christmas day today potentially. I'm gonna cook a Cornish hen, a smaller bird, then give little straight legs to like attach to the bottom of it. Like they have the little straight pork legs. Why don't you just use a touch of legs? Like, because they don't get the full bird. Dude, I'm not going out hunting with my bird dog. You couldn't find a chicken tonight. What's that?

They don't also go straight down. They come out at an angle. If you try to put them straight down. They're different looking. Yeah, they would pop out. It looks fake when Chewie's holding it. Yeah, you know. You could, we're gonna get you spoiler stuff here.

Does it wear anyone else out to eat a rosisserie chicken? Like I like my chicken dismembered. I like it dismembered. I don't like to go at it. You know it has like the whole chicken. You don't wanna see the shape of the chicken. No, it frees me out. Well you got to appreciate where your food comes from.

I appreciate it. I just don't like that it just doesn't work for me. The spit roast must be a nightmare for you. What's that? Like a pig. Rotating pig. When do you interact with a rotating pig? I agree.

Tons of times. When? That's the last time you saw a rotating pig like an apple in the sun. That is not a rotisserie chicken, but I mean, I just keep one. Yeah, go to like any sort of festival outdoor fairground or like, I got one for you.

Can you eat fish that has eyes? If they leave the fish head on no But only fish it makes me nauseous the smell of it right yeah, when I was a kid my grandma took me to like a Shit you're gonna make fun of me What's it what's it what's it what I've done in that brand what's a What's a fish slaughterhouse see-world Canary Canary

Delete it delete this portion no, it's good. I don't want to eat a whole canary. It just freaks me out Fuck your mother took you to a canary Oh my god, I'm a fish lotter house. I don't know the term for it and Oh my god, it just it it up her job at the factorial. She took Brandon to a shit. This is a canary shit. She, why, okay, wait a minute. First of all, I deserve that.

We're ignoring the, we're ignoring something bigger here. Why the fuck did your grandma take you to a canary? Like, I've never thought, let's go to the fish munker. She was watching me, because my parents were at work, because they worked for living. So she's just adopted into the canary? She had Aaron's to run, yeah. And with Aaron's to the, I agree to buy fish.

She didn't go to the fun grocery store? No, it's like a... They lived out in the country, like really rural areas. They had a cannery? Yeah, because it's Louisiana, like they're by the water. So you just go in there and buy cans? There's something to do. Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

They're by the water. People in rural areas go and buy. There's probably tons of people selling fish everywhere then. And that's where she goes to buy it. At a canary. I got a big canary. Why else would she be there? It's a manufacturing plant where they process fish and put them in cans. That's why they call it a canary. That's not it. I don't know what to call it. It's a fish slaughterhouse. Wherever the fish are man, take the fish. Did she take you to a butcher shop? What the butcher shop for fish? A fish market.

You can do a fish market. We got a fish market. Like is that a market? I don't want the dudes in the throw. No, no, no, no. It's not a market. It's like if you go to a butcher shop. It's like a butcher shop.

What's a butcher shop? It's a meat market. Nope, it's not a market. It's like one person's business. You walk in. Fish market. It just sounds like a fish shop. Okay, fish shop.

Fish shop. It sounds like a butcher. It sounds like where you buy it. It just sounds like a fish shop. Okay, fish shop. Well, fish shop does he have some all-show-a-pitcher. They sell fish. They put you by, they put you by, like worms and crickets for catching fish. Like a bait shop. Oh, that's a bait shop. That's a better word for a bait shop.

Did you go to a bait shop? No, it was a bait shop. So you went from bait shop to all the way you're working the line and from the Patery. My grandma brought me some place that smelled like dead fish. How big was this place?

It was bigger than it was like a warehouse. Really, so it's as big as the studio where we are. Yeah, like I'm telling you, I'm gonna come back out with counts of it. Literally next to the giant lake, I don't know what it's called next to Sicilya. For anybody who's longer losing it. Like, it's a fishing industry.

That's like, okay, I'm gonna look this up. What was that lake called? Lake Shashiri. I don't remember the name of the lake. It's near, it's next to Cecilia. It probably feeds into the Gulf of Mexico, but I don't know if it's technically classified as the Gulf of Mexico.

Okay, let's see. Big Lake there. Don't eat any fish out of the Gulf of Mexico, by the way. It's gross. It's basically the lake between Baton Rouge and Lafayette, although not technically Lafayette. Fish have plastic in them too. He's still Lafayette. Okay. Well, you're not going to find out. You look for Lafayette. I got you. He's on it. I got to see. Is it Lake Bego? What is looking for? I'm going to find whatever this building is. Fish building from time. I'm pretty sure it's in Catehula. It's been 30 years ago, guys.

Fish Caterliner Louisiana. Let's see if Google Maps can find fish slaughterhouse. Nope, can't find fish slaughterhouse. Fuck, how do you spell Caterlula? So what happened? She took you there and it smelled like fish? Yeah, it was horrible. And it just made me vomit.

And then now the smell of fish just makes me gas. Oh, it made you vomit? Yeah, it's same thing like whiskey. I smell whiskey I want to get because that was like the first liquor, like I broke into my grandpa's liquor cabinet. Or he gave it to me, I don't remember. Our grandparents were very cavalier with this,

amazing name. And I'm trying to take him to the cannery. It made me sick and now I smell it. My body's just like repulsed by it. Whiskey. Whiskey. Burbin, Scott. Not fireball.

Of course not a real drink. Can we get some fuck whiskey on this podcast right now? Can we do what? Yeah, bring it, let's see. Yeah, we have whiskey behind me. Cause I, I know, it's a very strong smell. Do you want to try this, Brandon? Yeah, sure.

Anyway, I got a bunch of raw fish. We got it. Damn it. I was reading that. I only fish with eyes. I don't like that as much, but the reason I don't do it, I run into bones there. And fish bones are like something that are...

So the kid growing up, fish bones were a much bigger problem in my life. And they went away. So when I get fish that has bones in it, it feels weird. Yeah, whatever I stuff, salmon is a kid that be bones in it. But now I've never found a fish bone since I was a child.

We've genetically engineered fish to have weak bones. A better fish be boning. Have you seen the video of the, the, the thing that swords tomatoes? Oh, yeah, like flames them out the way. If they're the wrong colors. It's out of the way. It's so crazy. It's pretty nuts.

It's like optical recognition, but on a time scale that you can appreciate as a human. And yeah, and they have to really slow it down. Yeah. Or you do even be able to tell what's going on. That'd be so cool. That's so neat. It's basically a conveyor belt that automatically detects green tomatoes and kicks them off the belt.

That's super fast. So the tomato canary. I kind of want to. Apparently, if you eat. Do you smell a broik or. Sure. Both. Let's see what the difference is.

So you got a point. This is the canter. That looks cloudy. There's probably some at the always open bar. Probably they restocked them. Someone on the other. Someone of the way I was trying to figure out how much money we spend a year in alcohol. We had that year end presentation last week and one of the slides said that Ruchis

consumed 20,000 bottles of Topo Chico in 2017. Yeah, I feel em. It's just mineral water. It's just fizzy water. Right. That's really popular in Austin for some reason. So we just need a soda stream. Right. Oh, you're not, no, I'll give you the box. It's a cork or just a cap. It's a cork. It's nice sound. I'm gonna do that again by the mic.

No, go again, go again. Go pull straight up. There you go. That's good. A little ASMR from the RT podcast. All right, this can be bad. Is it? You want me to put it in the glass for you? I put it in the glass for you.

You put it in the glass and make it way worse. So yeah, I put it in the glass. I'm going to end up drinking. You're putting it in the glass and I'm going to make it way worse. So yeah. I'm going to make Ellie bring me over some clear ice from the bus. Yeah. My mom says the place that I went to was called vicknairs

Vicknairs and what is it to ask your mom? What is this place and she can say she'll say to whatever a fisher's a lotter house Fishery The query is it she drives you to a aquarium. It was not a aquarium They don't have aquariums and cat hula. They just got one traffic light not long ago. Bequarium is ridiculous, but the fish warehouse is not. Can I drink one of those? You want to make drinks?

You gave me fucking side eye for drinking a beer at the start of this podcast. And you're here now asking for whiskey? Yeah, you reminded me of the time. Can I be dickhead? Can I see somebody rinse these out? Just because they're like, been sitting on the set and they're all dusty. Can you rinse a three of these out for, you want one?

I got out there, I'm good. Okay, thanks. No worry, I'm, you're nothing. I'm a real jerk about cleanliness. No, these are ducky. And these have been sitting there for a while. I'm always asking them to make sure. I was convinced I got a sore throat

because a glass was not clean properly. You're in here, it's in half way. He points out there's something. I still talk about it to this day. All right, I'll be right back. Do you still make that? Yeah, we just filmed our last episode a couple of weeks ago. And I think I don't know if it's out yet.

It may have just come out. But yeah, for the season. Yeah, very careful. Yeah, very careful. Thank you last episode of the season. Was it 24 episodes season? No, it was not. I think the last episode was like almost

four hours long. So if we broke out the podcast into 24 episodes seasons, what season are we on? Like 20? So I've been a I'm off mic so much today. So I have been testing the new video site that the tech team is working on. How is it? It's good. I don't want to steal anyone's thunder by talking about features it has that I know some of the audience is curious to about. So I'll let the tech team do the announcements on that,

but we're in the middle of testing it. We're in beta inside internally. We're gonna go to beta publicly, I think pretty soon. And we're just talking about about that reminding me of that? Seasons? Oh, so seasons, one of the things is porting all the episodes of all of our videos over to the new one and the way we handle everything so you can search for it and everything is seasons are tough. And they didn't understand why the seasons for some shows were listed as the year and for some they're listed as the year and for some

they're listed as a number. Like for red versus blue it's season five, but for the podcast it's season 2016. I said, well, that's all the broadcast shows because they go. There's no stop. Yeah. Well, the sun shows there is like always open us now there is. Yeah. But like for the recent podcast, it'll be season 2017, episode 350 or something like that. Right. You know, so. Cause yeah, you don't want to break it up and make it like season 2017 episode five.

Yeah. Cause then there's already an episode five, this could be a million other home. Yep. So, searchability is a big issue. Just cause we have so many videos. So the idea of how you flow and navigate through it and there's so many other video experiences on the market.

Are we gonna have to skip back and forward buttons? I don't want to talk about specific features. Because it's not my thing. Like it's a tech team that's working on it. And it's like, I get, people get mad at me when I say someone's going to an event, you know. Okay, so I'll just say this,

I hope we have to get back and forward button. All right. For the like jump 10 seconds ahead or back. Yeah, yeah, I found out that our speaking of stuff that we make. I found out that our unsubscribe is a okay. Is it thank you for checking it? It is it is the easy kind and not the jerky asshole kind. So I know Brandon.

Thank you very much. I know that Brandon is not going to drink this. So I'm just going to use two glasses here. You got some ice on the way. Fuck off. Does anybody else get like. You got some ice on the way? Fuck off. Does anybody else get like a Robo calls all the time? All the time.

It's all these other phone calls I get now. Yeah, it's insane, right? I still fraud calls on my credit card. Oh, yep. That's not the credit card turned off today. I got one turned off on Thanksgiving day. Yep. Does the bother you when they asked you to unsubscribe

from the call, press like whatever number and you press it and it just hangs up? Don't press it. Yeah, they press anything. Because they confirmed that you to unsubscribe from the call, press whatever number and you press it and it just hangs up. Don't press it. Yeah, it does press anything. Because they confirmed that you're looking into it. Right. Yeah.

I don't know. I do know. Anyway. It's bad no matter what. It turns me to be. It turns me to be. Apologize for it. Your phone rings, it's a number I don't recognize.

That's weird. I'm gonna answer this anyway, because it could be important. So, answer the phone. Hello. If there's a pause, just hang up. Yeah. If there's not a person they're saying hello to you, I don't know why that technology is such shit,

but basically what it does is there's a robot dialer in a call center that dials phone numbers. And then when it hears the connection, it then rings the phone of someone at the company to then answer it. Like, they don't even dial out. They just sit there and call. The call just connected all day.

They just sit there and wait their station, the cubicle at the call center, and also their phone rings or it's what's whisper tone sometimes that just sells them in-coming call, and then it connects it. You're like, hey, how's it going? But if you have that pause of like three seconds,

just hang up. Every now and then, a robot dialer. Every now and then, I'll get a call from somebody pretending to be like from Apple, like trying to get access now and then, a robot, Iler. Every now and then, I'll get a call from somebody pretending to be like from Apple, like trying to get access to my computer, and I can't resist, like I spend like five or 10 minutes

on the phone with them, just fucking with them. I'm just being like, I can't, like, I don't know, I'm trying to do this, like, and then I start asking, like, do you think maybe my computer could have messed up because I've been going to these websites and I start listing all these really explicit porn sites, like, and until they get like frustrated and then they start fucking with you back. Yeah, I had someone call supposedly from the IRS telling me how much money I owed that my IRS and I was like, yeah, wow, really? You don't say this seems really legitimate.

Gift cards is how I'm going to pay for this. Wow. I will probably in my life and I don't even know that it's their fault, but I will probably my life never ever ever, no this, wow. I will probably in my life, and I don't even know that it's their fault, but I will probably in my life, never, ever, ever, no matter what happens, I will never buy another Ford vehicle because I bought a truck in 2009, and then the five year warranty on it expired in 2014. The math adds up.

Ever since 2014, I've gotten two to three calls a month from extended warranty companies wanting to extend the warranty on my car. I don't think that's Ford necessarily. That's probably not. It's probably public record. I've had the same thing with my car. But it makes me honestly, it's like,

I'm not saying that as like, a justification, I'm just saying, I know that I won't buy a Ford. It is, all the conversations I've had about Ford and warranty, warranty Ford, extended warranty Ford, and it's just like, I'm just done. I don't want to hear the word Ford again, as long as I live. I had the dealership I bought my car from,

did something really shady around RTX. Time I may have mentioned this before, but they sent me an email like, this is confirming your service appointment for your car. I'm just saying, I was like, I didn't make one. And then I looked at the name, I Googled it, and it was like, there, what was it? What did they call it? Their business development committee.

It's like someone whose job is just to get you in there to try to sell you a new car. It's like, they made an appointment for me to come in so they could try to sell me a new car. I was like, I didn't, and then they call it when I missed it. And they're like, we saw you didn't make your schedule appointment. I was like, I didn't fake you, you're a fucking appointment. I was like, yeah, I was like, I didn't make that.

I don't want to go in. I don't have a service appointment. Don't make me trick me to try to come in and sell me'm fucking appointment. I was like, yeah, I was like, I didn't make that. I don't wanna go in. I don't have a service appointment. Don't make Tricky to try to come in and sell me a fucking car. Is that how you sell a car as to making the person feel irresponsible? It tells me my support, and it takes that very seriously.

It obviously works. Like it works on some percentage of people. Like maybe they say it's only a 5% success rate, but 5% is still significant if they're selling cars. Has anyone, has anyone, anyone broken any of your car before? Like something like that? at 5% and it's still significant if they're selling cars. Has anyone like spam email? Has anyone broken any of your car before? Like, something like that?

That's an issue question. Yes, someone broke into my car and stole a laptop a few years ago. I never talked about it. It was like eight years ago because it had like RVB stuff on it and I was just like, ee, ee, ee. But I don't know.

I had a car stereo stolen 15 years ago, 16 years ago mate. Yeah, 16 years ago or so. Where was your car car? It was parked in a parking garage by our old office at seventh and brazos. Oh, so yeah downtown right I can see that I my car was parked inside the parking garage at my apartment in the protected area like behind the pedestrian gate and it got broken into and my radio which is like a nice like pioneer Apple play radio got jacked and Fine you steal the radio you steal the radio, but he took my AC unit with it a See you what's the little control module? No, sorry the control module that Adjust the AC and yesterday it was raining and the entire inside of my window Was fog and I like I open my windows and the hope that would like you know just even it out Even it out like I didn't have a defroster so I'm like you remember an ace Ventura when it's like heads out the window

So he did right. Yeah, that's how I'm going down the highway and then I realized that he also fucked up my airbag. And I was like, oh my God, my airbag's not working. I didn't realize that. The indicator on the dash. Yeah, I didn't notice like the airbag like light was on and I was like, holy fuck, I gotta get out of this. Is that passenger airbag? No, it was drivers.

Why is there a light for your driver airbag? I think you want to know that messed up. Well, it's your life for the engine, Gavin. I just didn't know, I thought the light was just for the passenger so you can put a kid there. I think there want to know that messed up. Well, it's your life for the engine, Gavin. I just didn't know. I thought the light was just for the passenger, so you can put a kid there. I think there's there's multiple lights. They have a they have a car. I don't know.

Ask questions. Oh, that's fair. Yeah, when you turn on the car, usually all those lights, all those indicators come on. So they can show you that they're working. So they tampered with like everything in your mother's. No, they just stole your radio. I feel weird defending a thief. How long go to this happen?

I found this yesterday morning, but they didn't need to take the AC thing. I assumed in the process of doing your radio it broke or whatever, like it falls off and they just like, they grab it. Why, there's no use to that. They're just, it's a 2009. It's probably already broken.

Right, they just leave it in the car. Oh, you mean they took it, you're mad they took it. They're mad they're took it. You still for it? Yeah, I mean, who's still a radio? Let me ask you. No, it's a nice radio. It's like all in one. Like one was resting on top of the other. Um, yeah, but there's still separate components. Like when they put in the new radio, guys that like going in like with, you know, professionalism and going, okay, let me see if this is going to move this out of the way. There's stuff in my car, he didn't take.

Like, he went through my- He's gonna move the stick head, I don't wanna bust the warrant. Right, exactly. I don't know how much my fruit's are. I'd be considered if I was dealing stuff from people, I'd be like, I don't need this. Well, most of the time you realize when they steal something out of the car, they just smash the window, right?

So, next time it rains- How does it get into your car? How'd they get into your car? I think they had the device that is that long flat. What do they call that? Oh, I'm not a rod, I guess, but it's a rod-ish. Okay. And flat rod.

Flat rod. That's the best I can do. And I think they shimmy it in between my door. Slim Jim. Slim door. Slim Jim. Yeah, Slim Jim. I got a Slim Jim. And is that the scientific Jimmy and it's slim. You're Jimmy a slim. Yeah, it's you use the slim thing to Jimmy it. And it and the thing I'm taking away from this is it's like the 10th time that there's been a lot of cars been broken into at my parking garage of my apartment complex. So one had their bike stolen,

and they refused to put in cameras. So I'm gonna start stealing stuff. No, that's not the solution. It is like, then it's $200 to get a camera. If I was the apartment complex, I wouldn't put cameras up either. Why? So why is it their responsibility?

It's their garage, and I have to park on this super creepy bottom level. They provide you a place to put your car. They make no other assurances beyond that. Why? Why would they have to? That's not their business. If you want them to carry, then I would charge more. I'd be like, oh, you want the premium secure parking.

That's an extra 50 bucks a month. Please do. They charge enough, man. They charge enough. Are you making it safe? It's in front of friends. It's one of those fancy. It's like an amy and it's like you want to be fancy?

So it's like a parking garage, not parking lot. No, it's a parking garage and it's built into the complex and they took away our park. I can't park on my level where I live. I have to park on the super creepy bottom level. You can pay extra with parking your level. I would just just go through it all the way. It's just so expensive. I tried it for everything.

I think $550 extra a month, because I'm going month to month on my lease. And then now I have to pay this deductible. Oh God, it should. And the dogs, I have no money. Parking can be such a nightmare too. And when I actually lived in San Francisco, she lived with like five other people,

and they had one parking space. So, but it was in the the garage and even their parking space was on the lift. So they had the person who paid to have the parking space. They went in and lifted the car up and then somebody else in one of the other units came and parked below. Oh my god. So they constantly had to communicate with the person

with whom they were blowing or above. Oh my god. Yeah, thanks too much. There's the person on the bottom pay extra. I would, I would assume so. I would, you don't have to deal with that person, but I guess thing you have to deal with them whenever they want to get out. Yeah. There's new, I don't know which one's better. It's horrible. I think the bottle's better. The whole way around it was terrible. There's new condo high rise being built in downtown, no parking garage,

no parking. It's like if you want to live here, don't have a car. Like that's the general like message. That's future proofing. I think that'll be the way the buildings are in like 10, 12 years. They'll be making more and more buildings like that. I really do. And we'll have these, a lot of these buildings that have parking garages for the first seven to eight floors. And they'll be like, all right, now what do we do about this? Retrofit. Guests working in a parking garage. Yeah. So I know that they can do that. Yeah, I worked. I worked at that job can do that. Yeah, they can do that. I worked, I was at that job when my car got broken into.

I'm surprised it's not so. They, they retrofit it in office into a parking garage. It is like walled off, like sections of it. And like some of you are like super sloped because the ones where the ramps were. So they just made it interesting. Yeah, next to my desk was like a brick wall. Hey, is that place we used to go eat on Congress

that was in the garage? You had to go into the pardon garage to go to the restaurant. Mike's pub. Yeah, Mike's pub. Is that still around? No. Oh, really? You know, making cash for you to work there while we were all working in Congress.

We might have just run into Megan there while back in the day. Yeah, it's so weird. I think Mike's pub closed shortly after we left downtown. You ever go to garage bar? I don't know what that is, I'm gonna say no. Yeah, I remember I used to call them all the time to ask with special if it was their version of the Philly G-Stake that they made that was so fucking good. And they would just be like, no man, people always ask about it, no, we'll tell you when

it's on the menu, it's like, maybe put it on the fucking menu. Right. If everyone's calling it on you, you're about to go to a business. I'm not in the restaurant business, but here's a free consulting. Maybe it's seasonal. Everybody likes this thing. Put it on your fucking menu. Don't make it the one day of the week special

every other month, essentially. How can we increase our sales by 700%? We gotta stop answering these phone calls asking about Philly G's takes. Here, let me read this. What I'm minding this episode of the Receive Podcast is brought to you by Audible.

I hope this I should look it up before I hammer about it. But the World Wars The Audio Book, if it's available. They have it. It's I recommend that I think like every other time we have a lot of bulls' sponsors. Yeah, I've got that in my library. Freaking great. And it's really great. Did you see that during the Game Awards, there was a trailer for a World War Z video game? No. But it looks like it's based on the movie and not the book. Can I make sense?

Weird to me. Yeah, the whole franchise is so weird to me because the movie's weird because the movie has such a great source material to work from and decided to completely throw it out. Like the reason why the book is weird because the movie has such a great source material to work from and decided to completely throw it out. Like the reason why the book is so good is because it follows to me the Romero style zombie and takes it to its extreme. And then shows how like the zombies wearing down people who are just trying to survive.

And unlike walking dead, which then becomes more so about the other weird people who are alive, like it goes the Dead Rising round. Yeah, like only the people who were crazy survived, or they all went nuts because of it. Yeah, World Wars, he kind of remains about the zombies. There's PTSD stuff and stress and things like that. There's some really unique stuff in it.

But then for the movie, they were like, oh, well, let's just make them super fast. Was it the one Tom Cruise was in? Brad Pitt. It also, another weird thing about it, it is the highest grossing Brad Pitt movie of all time. Really? Yeah.

And that weird fact, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie actually don't have huge hit movies. They're two of the most famous people in the world as actors and actor and actress. But they don't like her biggest thing is Mr. Mrs. Smith, oh no, Tomb Raider. Yeah, yeah, before Before I think world wars yet I think mr. Mrs. Smith was his biggest I'm looking I looked him up right now Yeah, it's world wars. He mr. Mrs. Smith oceans 11 mega mind and Troy Yeah, I think oh

What's his name Johnny Depp was was like that before he made pirates. What did you get? He's got a ton of movies, but like none of them were like huge commercial. Yeah. One time it was 133. What? 133 million. That's a Troy made.

Yeah. That just seems like an opening weekend now, right? Mm-hmm. That was in 04. What was the opening weekend of last Jedi? Uh, I think a 120? What worldwide? Let me look. Worldwide. Did you get into terrorizing for? What was the opening weekend of last Jedi? I think it was 220? What worldwide?

Let me look. Worldwide. Did you get into Deerizing for? I did a little bit, but I just, you like the first one. Last Jedi domestic is 220. Domestic was 220. Yeah, and four and was 473.

I mean, four and was 253 for a total of 473. Wow, wow, that's crazy. That's amazing. What's Star Wars? I thought twice in the first week, you know. I mean, every other movie, she's just kind of like take the week off when it comes out. Yeah, that's like,

Jumanji was like, you can have this one the same weekend, I think, wasn't it? Wasn't Jumanji, the rock one? Didn't that come out? No, I think that, how did it? I think the second place movie was like, for Da Nant, like that animated movie that I'm that that you want to move you look to find to me. Looks fine.

Yeah, here's why you and I don't care about the original do you mind you fuck about it. But there's people who grew up and they watched it a thousand times on VHS tape or whatever on DVD when they were kids and so when this new ju-mongi comes out they're like it's ruining my childhood. It's not ruining anything. I don't nostalgia for it.

I hate that movie. It was dog shit anything for you. I noticed the allergy for it. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. That was dog shit. You want the Rob Williams one? Yeah. The Thorus way better. Way better.

I was curious after looking up the Force Awakens the other day and thinking about this Disney acquisition of Fox, I wanted to look at the top 10 biggest opening weekends and figure out how many of them were Disney films. Ever. Yeah, top 10 opening weekends, all time, domestically, not looking worldwide. Opening weekends are different. That's different than highest grossing.

Because Titanic never really made an extraordinary amount of money in one weekend. It just never stopped making money. That's a Titanic stop in the hot air. Adjusted for inflation? Is this adjusted? No, this is not adjusted for inflation. Avatar.

It's adjusted, I would say, MGM had a... Avatar's gotta be in there. It's on. It's not? No, this is not adjusted for in place. Avertar. Avertar. Avertar. Avertar. Avertar's got to be in there. It's on. It's not? No. Highest dressing movie of the whole time. Star Wars opening week. Last Jedi. Last Jedi opening week and has to be the highest. Spider-Man. Last Jedi's number two. Uh, Harry Spider-Man.

He's going to be like, Superheroes and Harry Potter and shit, right? Yeah. Find the Harry Potter. It's kind of Harry Potter and the glowing, oh, STEM. Oh, the 10. Seven of them are Disney Studios, three or not. It's Star Wars The Force Awakens,

Star Wars The Last Jedi, Jurassic World, The Avengers, Age of Ultron, Captain America Civil War, The Beauty and the Beast that came out this year, Iron Man 3, Harry Potter and the Deathly Highloas was part two in the Batman re Superman Donnard justice. Yeah, but you need it. You need it. Not good, but it's not.

Look at the inflation adjustment list. It's just like gone with the way. No, no, no. You got to put, you got to leave the pass behind. Dude, you got to leave the pass behind. No, no, no, no, no. Let it die. I, there you go.

Let it die. I, I, I don't think you should adjust for inflation. But then what's the point is It's just understanding, like, that means that he's were big movies in the last couple of years. That means that in the future, like hundreds of years from now and someone sells a company for $4 trillion. It's gonna be more impressive

than someone who did it now for a billion. And it will be because that'll be current and people will give a shit about that. But we talked about like, East India trading company is worth more than 50 other companies. Like, okay, great. What an interesting fact. Let's move on to talk about anything else.

Okay. Okay. The Louisiana British history is boring. Well, we don't know rankings of movie openings. Yes. World War II was way better than World War I. I'll appease you, Brandon. The highest grossing movie since the year 2000 adjusted for inflation is number 11 on

the list It's Star Wars the Force Awakens Adjusted for inflation nine hundred sixty five million dollars. That's the only movie has come out since 2000. It's on this list Yeah, like that inflation just yeah, if I say you isn't it crazy that Russia has in America We have enough atomic weapons to destroy the world three times over and you say to me Well, you know, horses really revolutionized the way the Genghis Khan conquered the world. We're like, okay, fucking great.

I don't give a shit about it. I'm talking about atomic bombs. You get what I'm saying? You want to just herflation on horses? No, there's not a thing at all. You want money and money. Do you want to just, do you want to just for inflation for horses?

They're not the same thing at all. Horses are not atomic bombs. Yes or no? No, they're not atomic bombs. Yes or no? No, they're not atomic bombs. Oh, there you go. I don't know, it's a point out. That we use whole power. That's nothing to do with any.

We use whole power to measure torque and cause and stuff. You can call whatever though. It's still just measuring. Is one horse actually one horsepower? We talked about it a lot of times. We talked about it a lot of times. Right.

It's three dog power. All I can think of is how many horses they took to drag the Delorean how many horse power Is a horse? I don't even know What measurement horse power is is it power output? Is that what it is? It's equal It's equal. Is it maybe a wattage? A horse can produce 14.9 horsepower.

What's the point of this then? What's like doggy, isn't it? Everyone is a horsepower measure. What is horsepower? Oh God. I get internal belief in themselves. A unit of power equal to 550 foot pounds per second

550 foot pounds per second. Yeah, so it's per second. So is that velocity? That's it's toleration torque right We reach we reach the limit of my mechanical 45.7 watts So it's watts So how many convert everything how many power in a 40 watt light bulb? Oh, translate, yeah. What does that mean?

Not you, this thing. This is so confusing, I don't know. Like the reactors they put on there, like 1.9 trillion watts or something they just turned on. Oh, it's a Nevada. It's like how many horses is that? I feel like how many solar horses? What, if you put a horse on a treadmill

How much power does it take to run the treadmill under the horse at a full gallop? Yeah, yeah, what are they doing a little prancey walk? All right, brainy. Why don't you sniff this whiskey? Yeah, I'm just a little fruig me. You can't not smell it. It's a fruig Although somebody died of tape at the time somebody Why Although somebody, did I tell you about the time somebody? Get the mic on you. He looks like he went white. You're gonna make me sick. You gonna sip it? All right, give it to me.

Give it to me. You drink the rest of it. I don't want this one. His dogs have walking pneumonia. I'll drink that one. I don't give a shit here. Give it to me. You want to switch? I think Brandon's dead. It's fucking alcohol. It I'll drink that one. I don't give a shit here. Give it to me. You wanna switch?

I think Brandon's dead. It's fucking alcohol. It's how you clean everything. I'm not a journalist. Why'd you get the glasses rinse then? Oh, fair play. Nice point. Make a point.

I did it to be polite to you. Okay. James Watt invented horse powers. What? The term of horse power. He? James Watt. Why didn't you say many watts? He, he, I think he may have also done that too. He's making shit up at the term of horse power? He changed what? What did he say? What? He, he

all I think he may have also done that too. He's making shit up at the end of his career. He was working with ponies lifting coal at a coal mine and he wanted a way to talk about the power available from one horse. He found that on average a mine pony could do 22,000 foot pounds of work in a minute. He then increased that number by 50% and peg the measurement of horsepower at 33,000. Because the pony's not a horse. So it's not a problem in one minute. Based on ponies?

It's an arbitrary unit of measure that's finished. He measured the 220 pounds per minute and then said, went through all that measurement and then goes, and a pony's like, what, like half a horse to double it. But then that's, or 50%. It's like one, one pony is, well that'd be two thirds of a horse.

Yeah, two thirds of a full horse. So yeah, it's like one third less than a horse. Exerting one horse power can raise 330 pounds of coal, 100 feet in a minute, or 33 pounds of coal, 1000 feet in one minute, or 1000 pounds, 33 feet in one minute. But that's only on like, that only to like the first gear right like the gear with the highest torque.

No, what? What? Maybe. I don't know. Sometimes you guys are just to violence about something. Oh my god. Oh my god. This is what Gavin said kind of what?

One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. So if you took a one horsepower horse and put it on a treadmill, it could operate a generator producing a continuous 746 watts. So if you took a one horsepower horse and put it on a treadmill, it could operate a generator producing a continuous 746 watts. Really? I can remember my PC. Of a horse. So they still use horse power today measuring super cars and stuff. Yeah. But it's always like precise. It's like 165.4 horsepower. Yeah, it's just come up with a new measurement. I agree. We're facing it on two thirds of a horse from ages ago. On a pony lifting coal.

Two thirds of a horse adjusted. Do we, for inflation? For a... Yeah, inflation from pony to horse. Do we even know what kind of ground this pony was walking on? Oh yeah, right. Was it uphill?

Did it have horseshoes on or pony shoes? Yeah, I hope. I hope there will be this. Like, it's apparently Lamborghini. I'm walking on. Oh yeah, right. Was it uphill? Did it have horseshoes on or pony shoes? Yeah. I hope they're beneath it. Like, apparently I am Braggini, that it's not like a treadmill or some kind of advanced meter that does this. They just hook a rope up to the back of it

and have it pull coal up a shaft, like a mind shaft. That's literally how they test our power. That would be great. Okay, so if a car is 500 horsepower, how many horses would you have to attach to the back of the car pulling it in reverse for them to cancel each other out? If I attach 500 horses to a wagon, could it go 300 miles an hour? I don't think so.

Like, it's like, is the horse, each horse still has to go 300 miles an hour? But they're sharing the load, like, it's not a speed competition. Is that gonna make them faster, though? I think it means that you're more likely to hit the max speed with a higher, like a more heavier payload. Why isn't playing some bird power? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You have to have the biggest specific one, like crane powers.

Right. Yeah. The horse is a thousand Canadian geese power. Well, there's seagulls and we'll inflate to geese. Oh, right. I mean, I think I say horse inflate to geese. And I'll write it. I mean, I think I say, saying horse power in a car commercial. Because car commercials are sexy. Horse power sounds sexy.

You don't want something technical. It's like 20 horse power. It's just traditional. Yeah, that's it. It's stupid. We need a new measurement. What should the name of it be? Ramrods.

Rooms. Rooms. Yeah. 60 rooms. Not sexy. I just go with thrust Because you make that face whenever you say yeah, it's kind of like good marketing marketing appeal to it thrust Fuck factor Salon muscle car

Got fuck factor of 3.7 Great of 3.7. Yeah. Yeah. Great. I bet that. Yeah. This has 3.6 cubic poundage. I'm not going to go with a semi-diol enhancement factor of two. It's got to have a, it's got to have like a active component to it. Thrust. That's what I do. They measure the thrust of rockets in horsepower, right?

I mean, they, when they try to equate it to something and people can understand, like, that's 12 trillion horse power You need a measurement don't they use mutant's problem, hmm you need a This is not the unit of measurement mutants for force I Do I don't know in that for gravity? Where's Trevor? He's an aerospace engineer get him in here He's at the damn achievement hunter Christmas lunch at Foga that I couldn't go to You go to it you want to go to it? No I'd rather come and do this with my friends on Christmas

Yeah, I got a Fogo to chow and eat a bunch of little cheesy bread balls and then I will take you to Fogo after this if you do Yeah, let me check my camera So I we talked about this a couple of weeks ago about how it seems like. You okay? Yeah, it's just really extreme. About how it seems like iPhones get slower the older they are. Yeah. And, you know, we speculated that maybe it's just new software and whatnot. The website Geekbench did some testing and they found out that as the battery and iPhone

degrades, the CPU throttles itself down. Oh, that makes sense. Why? In order to try to preserve the battery life as long as possible. So you don't have to go in and get the battery replaced so quickly. Yeah, so apparently that's what they said.

If people are having a sluggish phone performance, they can get the battery replaced and that it starts acting fine again. Yeah, that is a battery replacement. I don't know. Because normally it's not something Apple does. They just tell you to buy a fine again. Yeah, that much is a battery replacement. I don't know. Because normally it's not something Apple does. They just tell you to buy a new phone. Yeah.

Well, I mean, if you smash your screen and then do express replacement, you get and you, everything. Imagine if we didn't have rechargeable batteries on our phone if we had to like open the case and put it in double A's. We would hate our phones so much more. Do you ever have a watch battery? Do you have like stack like five watch batteries

and two columns. And then I would just I would never use my phone. I would never ever. Do you have a game gear? No, I didn't have a game gear. Man, they took six double a's and they lasted like what? Like two, two, three hours. Yeah, it was not much.

Really game boy was like four double a's. Yeah, but it last forever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't have a backlight. I love home automation, but I do find now that I have to charge things in my house that should never have to be charged. And it's just like, oh, I got myself involved with this. Window Blitz.

I have to charge my window Blitz. We're talking about this the other day. That's a huge design flaw. Who's ever going to do that? What? Charge them? Yeah. That's fine. They've been charged last alone gonna do that? What, charge them? Yeah, I'm sorry. They made the charge last alone. This is the ultimate first world problem.

No, I hate to charge my block. No, I'm really thinking, somebody did say one time that they said, it must be 2016 was when they wrote this, because I'm having trouble today because I forgot to charge my watch and my book. I can't do it. So, I'm just thinking,

the amount of stuff we have to charge in our lives now is, it's a charge of book. It's crazy. How does a watch keep time? There's gears in it that have quartz and then they, they're precise. And then they're... Because I know about, you always see quartz

and like literally said nothing. Swiss quartz and all that stuff. What the Christ is that doing for the time? I have no idea. Who dug quartz out of the ground and goes, oh thank God. Now we can fail. I have a second.

Is the second. Now we can tell the time. I don't know. And you still need a battery. You still need to wind it. What is the quartz? How does it come into play? Don't know.

This is something by the way. By the way, the cameras that I've wandered at several points in my life. And it's like, oh I wonder how that works. But never enough to Google it. Here's it. There's a quartz like pulsate at a certain rhythm.

Where's a pulsate? You know what I think actually? I think quartz is the glass that you look at the watch face through. What? I don't know. There has anything to do with the mechanics. I thought it was like, I could like say, but like, it's a crystalline. There's something like that.

Because I think that's how film cameras used to work like actual, like, it's all the same as it's a quartz clock or watch the battery sends electricity to the quartz crystal through an electronic circuit It is like a lightsaber the quartz crystal oscillates at a precise frequency Exactly 32,768 times each second. What how much? 32,768 times what do you mean it oscillates like it wibbles around it vibrates back and forth It has that in parentheses. I didn't think I'd have to explain that but there it is Yeah, I think that's how the why I was like yeah, it's probably just tiny very minute Yeah, it's very small just enough to make the gear go

Is that something like how much though like could I see that with a high-speed camera? But my watch doesn't have a battery in it might be so small my dress watch does not have a battery You have to wind it though. Yeah, it's spring. And it's the spring replacement. That does what? Oh, but you're right. Because then I assume that's gear driven.

So like that's gears that rotate at a certain rhythm. What, and that causes the spring. No, there's no quartz in it, right? What's? There's no quartz in it. And I'm going to watch it. And where my my fake digital watch. I would assume that then there's no quartz in a spring watch and that's just gear based.

Yeah, because the gears are specifically designed at a certain size where it all always go with the same pace. Correct. I was getting grief on Twitter because I was sometimes when Apple released a new product I'll like, if you can customize it, I'll spec it out to the maximum just to see what it would cost. Yeah. And the new iMac Pro was like $13,000 and I was like, damn, that's a lot of money.

But you could buy it with less than one Bitcoin. And everyone took that to me, like, I'm gonna buy this thing. And then I was getting defensive. It was like, hey, I'm not gonna buy it. And also be why you annoyed if I was gonna buy it. Like, I fired the money. I didn't ask you for it.

You didn't give me the money. Why are you commenting on what I can spend it on? Like, I'd never asked anyone for money. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you didn't give me the money. Why are you commenting on what I can spend on? I'm busy for us, anyone for money. I don't know, I feel like it's almost like Twitter's a vacuum and the easiest thing to fill it with is complaining and criticizing. Well, there's always a blank box where you're supposed to type something in.

Yeah, yeah. You've ever seen that picture of the globe where it's got a circle and it says more people live inside the circle than outside of the circle. Oh, and it's a small circle. And it says more people live inside the circle than outside of the circle. Oh, and it's a small circle. And it's a relatively small circle. I sent it to the control room. If you're using me, you guys can bring it up.

So they draw a circle on a part of the globe. Oh, I see. On the actual globe. Yeah. And there's cover options and everything else. So the real one, like a model of the globe. Thank you. Oh, that's fascinating.

Oh, it's bigger than I thought it would be. So it's like, you know, India, China, Indonesia, like we some of Southeast Asia there and Japan. That's crazy. I think the coolest thing about India has the weird way to start a phrase. Like this subcontinent is like actively in a massive collision. Right. And like it's, it's almost like a, like a like a a car wreck like just in super super slow

motion and like every year the Himalayas are getting like an inch taller. I think it's the Himalayas because the India subcontinent is still actively just colliding with the I don't know the Eurasian plate. Does the EVE have a what? They don't have an air conditioner, the radio's gone, it's a whole thing. I don't know, it just, I don't know, it starts to make you think about how... There's still jobs in the canary though. Isolated, our sense of time is versus, you know, not even the universe, just,

nevermind, I thought it was interesting. No, it is interesting, you gave up on it. You did give up on it. I know. I mean, there's always the risk. You sound a bit like you're own drugs or you're hippie if you start thinking too deeply on a comedy podcast. But yeah, I get it.

Yeah. Well, I had to pull rocks out of my yard back when I lived in Buda. I remember that. I try to pull rocks out of you all the time. And you get in rock. A massive rock that looks insignificant because it's kind of poking out of your mouth.

It looks like it's about this big, and then you discover underneath, it's just massive rock, and so try to get it out and move it. So you'd use like levers and wedges, I had this big pole that I would use to try to get the rocks out. And then when one would slip and the two rocks

would grind against each other on the small scale, it was this huge, like, I could feel the shutter right there. And I can't imagine the equivalent of that of like a continental shelf. It's like earthquake. It's like earthquake. Going like this, yeah, exactly going like this

and then just going, eh, shifting a little bit. And it's just like that grind is that. If that happened all at once, it would just, there'd be no way we could survive. What were you moving the rocks full? I was trying to get them, I was trying to, it was kind of just, I lived out in the middle of the country and I was trying to get, you know, the kids, I had kids at that point in time, was having babies. So it's kind of just, I lived out in the middle of the country and I was trying to like get, you know,

the kids at that point in time was having babies. So it's one of the places for them to play that was more like more fun and tough and stuff. More lawnish, yeah. It's that place. So it wasn't a big area, I wasn't trying to do the whole thing, but I was trying to do enough.

I was thinking about that place the other day. I was like trying to Google Street View around in there. Oh yeah, okay. If I could, if I could see it. Is that your beautiful farm? It wasn't a farm. I don't know a little farm see it. Is that your beautiful farm? It was a farm. I don't know about a farm ranch. Where did you get that? Ranch. What do you want to call it?

It was a house. It was a house. It was the house. The house of the Luddaland. Had about five acres. There you went. Had about five acres of land. Yeah. It would have been tough to start a ranch career. I honestly, I didn't even realize it was that big. I say five acres. I think it was like 3.8 acres. What makes it a farm?

When does the garden because What makes it a farm? When does the garden because it could become a farm? I guess if I have a cow and I sell the milk, is it now a farm? That's dairy. Yeah, that's a farm though. Dairy farm, yeah. No, you're dairy. Dairy's not a farm.

Yeah, you don't think cows are a farm. I think there's cows in a farm. Yeah. But I think if you're selling milk and that's all you're doing, you're dairy. But that's what farming is, isn't it? If you sell meat, something in selling it. If you just sell meat and that's it, you're a ranch. You just sell fish, you're selling milk and that's all you're doing, you're dairy. But that's what farming is, isn't it? If you sell meat, something, it's not like that. You just sell meat and that's it.

You're a ranch. You just sell fish, you're a canary. Dairy farming is the class of agriculture for long term production of milk. Google what makes a farm a farm dairy farming. There you go. I guess the general turn after. And I'm going dairy farming. I would if you advice me to someone who was from Wisconsin

and they had, they grew up on a place where there's stables with the little booths or whatever the fuck they put the cows in and there's 80 cows. The cowl hound. And their job was to milk them all the time but that's all they did. And they said, I told them they grew up on a farm,

not a dairy, they go, no, I grew up on a dairy. They say a dairy farm. A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops. It is the basic facility in food production. So what is a dairy, what is a farm that produces crops? If a dairy farm is produced dairy, what is crop farm?

Farm. What is that to farm, right? Yeah, okay, there you go. Okay. When I say farm, we all think of the same thing. What do you say farm, I think of animals. Yeah animals Nah, what do you think of like corn apparently rose corn? They are Consider specialized farms are dairy farms poultry farms and pig farms. There we go. So it's like a subcategory

Yeah, there you go So when you when you picture a farm, there's no animals on it. Nope. it's the wheat and superman. It's superman isn't there somewhere. Yeah, that's the farm to me. Weird. Yeah, it's rows. It's got to have those rows. Some farms all McDonald. And this is interesting.

I never thought about this. Some farms don't use the word farm at all. Like vineyards and orchards, which are also farms, but you have like a peach farm. A specialized, that's an orchard, isn't it? What? A peach farm is an orchard. Yeah, you wouldn't say that though. Yeah, I guess.

People like orchids. You would say apple farm. People like vineyards. There we go. Grape grapes. It doesn't seem like, when I see vineyards, it doesn't seem like they're making enough grapes to make all that wine.

Yeah. First of all, underground. There's one little thing in the grapes. Like a thing you mush that into a bottle. Is that one bottle? Oh, I don that wine. Yeah. First of all, underground. There's one little thing in the brain. Can you mush that into your bottle? Is that one bottle? Oh, I don't know. Because it seems like the way I juice an orange, I can eat like a dozen oranges

to get a 12 ounce glass of orange juice. Well, the ratio of like usable orange to the rest of the oranges, I've been at grape, only the skin is the shit you throw away, right? Do they do what do they do with the skin? Well, they just stamp on it until the juice comes out. Do people still stamp on it? Can you still buy wine that people stamp with their feet? I asked the great lady. I don't know. Who's the great lady?

Oh, how popular is wine in the US? Not many people. I mean, I mean, I'm doing it right now and then. I thought it was a restaurant a few days ago. I'll compare it break that one man. I thought it was a restaurant a couple days ago. All in, compared to what other areas. I mean, you're talking about how much can you produce, but if the demand here is not the same as it is, you know, in other countries. I don't think it's a deal.

You know, staple the way it is, but there's tons of people who drink wine. I remember, your jar point is, do we have enough grapes for wine? It's dependent on like, well, how popular is wine? I wonder if they're just saying when I see a vineyard that I know produces a lot of bottles of wine, I'm like, they need way more grapes than what they've got. As of 2013, the US is the largest wine consuming nation in the world. Wine? Wine is grapes adjusted for inflation.

That's pretty good. That's actually really good. That's all that is. That's what Gavin is telling me. I wonder if the movie's sideways had a big impact on people's consumption of wine. I think people who are, what are wine enthusiasts called? Wine assholes? Oh yeah.

I think people who are into wine, they have been around forever. Have you ever known somebody who's gotten super into wine or super into a thing? Why is it only some things you can get super into? Like, people are into cheese. Yeah. Why is why people not into cheeseburgers?

That'd be nice. Oh, man, I love that. Yeah. I'm just, I mean, the cheeseburger. Can I have a cheeseburger in the month club? That'd be awesome. I mean, people on into whole stratish. Right.

Although, I love horse radish. I love horse radish, but it's like, whole stratish is whole stratish. You're not gonna go to different places. You're not going to go to tasting. Yeah horse radish. You're not gonna go to a different you're not going to a tasting. Yeah, right? You're not gonna do that. Or it's like this is a special horse radish

from this region. Horse radish is so good. If you went to like a horse radish vineyard and tried to like knock on the door and say, I'd like to tour your radish farm. They would probably see you with a double-legged do the dishes. I get the fuck out of here. Wendell files? Oendell files or Wendell files? Your your radish farm. They would probably see you the double Dude

When oh files Oh, when oh files or when oh files are wine a Vin of file with a V O E N O O E N O yeah, the fuck I'm sure Greek. I'm sure sideways did a bunch for that For the Merlot first of all who the fuck watch sideways? Comotating church apology am I a great film? You're like the movie movies it was like an art house film the guy who was a man in 71 million dollars Worldwide just a fairflation

Domestically oh You're the conspiracy theory that of all the diamond companies that put money into a bunch of Hollywood movies to like make diamonds Diamonds are a share diamonds are right diamonds are What they use like they use one of the things they did is they used Hollywood movies to make diamonds seem like the ultimate jewelry like apparently before like the Made 20th century it was all about sapphires for engagement ring. Yeah, some shit like that Yeah, the stones have changed over there. But it was just they use movies to like change the culture. Like, yeah, they use, they use movies and then they hoard all of them and only let a few

out that way they can artificially control the price. Right. They use all the time and like tools and stuff. Right. Well, I think it's the debirz corporation just like, it's cartel. Keep all of them, right. And then just like give some out to try to artificially make it. And then it's also like everyone's okay with that for some reason. It's just like, that's it.. Keep all of them, right? And then just like give some out to try to artificially make it.

And then it's also like everyone's okay with that for some reason. It's just like, that's not a conspiracy theory. A global monopoly. Yeah, there's a accepted fact basically that they do. This episode of the podcast brought you by the debut. Why do they let the, the shitty ones out, the ones that have the big black chunks in them.

Oh, that way they can make the other ones seem nicer, right? You bought engagement ring, right? Yeah. You bought engagement ring? Yeah. Okay. No, we got suckered. Yeah, I had to. Can't fight this part of the system. So you haven't.

So on average, we've each done one. That's not the two. But when you go and shop, they go through all this stuff, like there's in occlusions and clarity and all this stuff. And to color. anti-aliasing. You got to adjust the sliders and just match it up with your wallet. It's two diamonds. So when you can't see one of them, you've got a good diamond.

This is what I did. I went to a diamond place and I was like, this is how much I'm going to spend. Show me the range in this price or show me their rings in this price range. And they're not bullshitting. I mean, it's literally in the tag. And I just looked and say, all right, that's the one I like the most done. And it's nice ring.

Older people always give you younger people the same advice. Don't buy the ring, just do something nice or buy a fucking fake one that nobody's gonna tell a difference from anyway. Honestly, honestly. You're never gonna get like a class created one. I get never gonna get a situation

where you get a cut through glass where you're gonna need to escape a car or something like that. You're never gonna need an actual diamond for it. Well, so a brick will work. Also a brick. Get one of those orange hammers. Get one for a ring. Just put a piece of brick in the ring.

People have different things that they like. You know the person you're with. If I got Paula a fake diamond ring and she found out, I'm saying you guys, the vice I give to the couple is look. If you're gonna get engaged, just go get a fake ring, if you're gonna do it, and then don't throw a big wedding. Just have a party. Save the money for the ring and for the wedding.

Yeah. And buy something else. If you catch the word wedding to anything, it multiplies the price by 10. If you go into place, I want a cake. It's like, that's 50 bucks. Say, I want a wedding cake. That's $5,000 or whatever they do. go into place, I want a cake. It's like, that's 50 bucks. Say, I want a wedding cake. That's $5,000 or whatever they do.

He's just going and asking for a cake. I would like a dress. I would like a wedding dress. No, wedding dress is $5,000. Everything is $5,000. He can just go in and say, oh yeah, I just want a regular cake. Like, what do you want to look at?

And just kind of like describe a wedding cake. A white cake. Just like different layers. A little ornament on top of. Yeah, not until they put the third tear on the weather, like hang on a second. What the hell is this? God damn it, you're getting married.

But it's true, it's like, it just takes the money, throw a party, everyone will be super happy, and then off you go. It's like, save your money. Save your money. That's a practical thing that makes sense. What's in practice? All the older people say it, would you say it now, after you've been married,

would you give that same advice somebody younger? I say, and you know the person you're with, and understand, you know, some people really care about the diamond. Yeah. Who cares about it? Just go. No, everyone cares about it because we all do it.

You know, I don't care about it because she cares about it. I mean, I don't care about it. But it's't like your advice to like just have a better wedding or like, nobody takes the advice. I'm saying all the older people have the advice and the wisdom. Nobody takes the advice. I don't I never have taken the advice. You also can't keep a wedding or a vacation. Can't keep a wedding or a vacation. Keep it. Well, you keep the ring on your finger. Okay. Every day. Well, I'm a believer in experiences more than things. Like you said, you'd rather have a memory than an object. Yeah, I don't have a vacation than a ring.

Also, it's like, oh, are- If that's case, why aren't we getting all these like, passed down rings, you know? There should be like this army of rings being passed down. Yeah, well, that's just the rings when people die. You know what, it keeps us shit, that's the thing. It's like your ring. Yeah, watch it, yeah, cause when people die. You know what it gives us, shit, that's the thing. It's like your ring. Yeah, watch it, yeah,

cause it's always like, this is Mike, grandmother's ring. Do they always like to hear the ring back? Where's her? And why isn't it like a big tube of rings at that point? Do they bury it with people? Like, can we go and just start grave robbing rings? It's true, brain and brain, let's go do that.

We'll stop breaking into all the cause. We'll rub some graves. If you use a metal detector, it's fine. Brandy, you can't smell fish. You're gonna dig up dead bodies and you're gonna be okay with that Well, if you know it was saving me the cost of a ring wow You won't buy a cuba xerconia whatever it's called, but you'll dig up a dead body for the ring outfit Yeah, you know worry she's gonna find out about that. I mean if it's a nice ring. It's a nice ring It's one of those things. It's like, it means more

because look at all of the trouble I went into it. This is not a strange hand. Like, go to the place and like, look, I want a blood diamond. I want to know that that diamond, I don't want to dig up a body, I can't relate to it. I don't relate to it either. No one has ever purchased me something

of the value of a diamond ring, I don't think. Like, personally purchased something for me. So there's a whole part to that experience, which I'm not sure about. Does every lady secretly go and have the ring checked out to make sure it's real? Like where would you go to do that?

Do you know what a jeweler? Do you know what a contest that is? We'll see. I like specifically Rock Butcher. I specifically gave her the paperwork. Basically everything but the pride. And I was like, look at all of the bits of, they have all these bullshit metrics

because you know, if like I actually got it for real, I want to know it. To every day about the guy, it can just be you can fake anything. They're for the guy that I went to school with. He was a junior at UT. And this is a long time ago, but this is a long, long time ago.

Are you thinking about a statue of limitations? Yeah, maybe so. Yeah, and I'm not gonna say who it was. There was a person that I know, I said it was guy. But he was a junior and I find out that he had transferred from a smaller, like rural college, like a community college, or junior college. It wasn't a community college, junior college. And he told me, he goes, like a community college, or junior college, it wasn't a community college,

junior college, and he told me, he goes, yeah, he goes, yeah, he goes, I only went there one semester ago, and you're a junior now? How did that happen? And he said, he got his transcript after a semester of work, he had like, a little bit more semester, so it's like 18 hours.

And you know, should have 15 after one semester and 30 after two, if you take a full load. And he had about 18, 20 hours somewhere in there. So he got his transcript to transfer the classes into UT, and then he got it from the registrar at the junior college, and they got this, the official rubber stamp seal and put it on there. So he takes the transcript with the rubber seal stamp on it,

and he goes to a rubber stamp place, he goes, can you make this? And he goes, yep. So he typed up a whole new transcript, gave himself two years of coursework, and then stamped it and turned it in to UT. And that's, and he got, I can't believe they gave him a transcript,

he just don't mail it. No, no, I've got my transcript before with the official stamp on it and everything. Yeah, but I put in a seal and a little. School to school, just, and it seems like almost like a crime, but what do he do? He just, well, I feel like a seal emerald. School to school just, and it seems like almost like a crime, but what do he do? He just,

well, I feel like $1,000. He just didn't educate himself. I feel like the stamp maker is definitely to blame there. They shouldn't be re-creating stamps. No, it's like trying to throw a wedding cake. He's like, oh, it's for a transcript. Yeah, it's a multiply that times 10. Yeah, exactly right.

Yeah, I can make that sure. So he made the stamp and stamp it. Well, I can go, I can bring my passport to a stamp maker and be like Replicate what the customs agent stamps in my passport also do we have any illusion the person who gets it at UT Is gonna go wait a minute that's not the Paris Texas junior college stamp It's like you put literally you make something looks like 80% a pig smiley face It's like a little star with just good job. I felt like a like a like papers, please,

the game like the passport. Just a favorite game. Love that game. It's an amazing game. I don't think you can fake anything. I know why. We, when I went to school, and I don't know if it's like this everywhere,

but you have like the six week official reports for your grades, and then three weeks in, you have like your just progress, like where you are at that point. And I stopped doing homework at some point. And so my grades in like the middle of that six week period were pretty shitty, but I know like I get them up. So instead of showing my mom my actual progress support,

I just went to the, I went to the library in the school, photocopied my progress report, cut out numbers that I could find on it and then pasted it onto the original progress report, photocopied that and was just like, I have three more weeks, I'm like smooth sailing. See?

Floor trees. And like part of your education in America. But like now everything's electronic. Like your parents get money, right? No, I think if you try to like scan, like a double photoshop like tells you you can't do that. Get out of here. Yeah.

Yeah. Isn't it like authorities to if you try and print money? I think also if you like printers have unique identifiers in them that you can't see with the naked eye. So we got to get rid of all the shit. I think it was like a sequence of five yellow dots or something that if they get detected, they just doesn't do it. I hope there's some dude out there who's just one of the richest people in the world, one of the richest criminals in the world because he counterfeits quarters and nobody gives it. No, like nobody is paying attention to this dude.

He was paying for everything with the roles of quarters. They just changed the pound coin in England because there was so many of them afake. It was like, we just needed to quit. They completely changed. They really did, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really,

they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're really, they're in Mexico that he would want a Coke from the soda machine, but he didn't have the dime for it. So he would find these like metal slugs. Yeah. And then grind them down to the size of like a, to like a little 10 peso piece. So we used to pound nickels with hammers.

Put them in the, put them in the, vending machine and get coax that way. Yeah, we used to pound nickels. I watched an interesting video about pounding gold down into gold leaf. Yeah. And they just, and they can, you can crush, I don't know, big block of gold into like 0.001 millimeter thick. If you just keep whacking it.

It's a, it's a weird metal. Gold is so viable. Like all the post-apocalyptic people who, and now they probably even Bitcoin, but like they're always like by gold, because gold always be worth something. It's like, I don't know that that's true. I think gold needs civilization to be worth something.

When the grid goes offline, how are you gonna get access to your Bitcoin? Well, the Bitcoin, yeah, that's definitely ridiculous. Yeah, I don't think people using stuff to purchase, do you use Bitcoin to purchase things? I think it's just a currency. People invest in. A lot of stores you can pay with a Bitcoin.

You can pay with Bitcoin. I've seen it. Microsoft, you could buy shit with Bitcoin. Is it work with a credit card the same way? Yeah, where you go to the payment process? I should have, you know what I should do. I should seen it. I know you Microsoft, you could buy shit with Bitcoin. Is it working with the credit card the same way? Yeah, where you go to the payment process? I should have, you know what I should do? I should have Jess come in sometime in the, in the, in the, being in the year

and have her explain Bitcoin. I did a vlog with her and she's huge into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and blockchain and all that. All right. Here's the first or anything that I just ran into, Gus, because we talked to the top of the podcast. I just got a credit card shut down because of fraud, right? Okay, well, got shut down because somebody charged a fucking ridiculous amount of money. They charged like $1,400 against my credit card for this thing

that I didn't know what it was. I don't even know I should say the name, just for security purposes, but let's just say it was anesthesia.com. And I was like, okay, I don't, I definitely don't know what anesthesia.com is. So I called my bank and I said, yeah, I don't know, I don't recognize this charge. And they said, yeah, okay, great. So, well, do you have your card? They always go to that thing. You have your card. It's like, yeah, I've got it right here. Okay, we're going to cancel it. So if I say no, what they can say, like, oh, we'll go find it. That way we will cancel it. But they say no, I say no, I have, or yes oh, we'll go find it and that way we will cancel it. But they say no, I say no. I have, or yes, I have the card to the cancel it.

And I go, wait, I just want to make sure before you cancel my card, I go, what is Anastasia calm? And they said, we don't know. She said, I can Google it really quick. And I said, no, no, what's the merchant account? What do they do? Like, what's their business? She goes, I don't have that information.

It's like, can you just start running fucking credit cards without any kind of, because when we had to apply, I had to tell them all about our business and everything. Who are these fucking people that can just process credit cards? And they can't even tell me what the type of business is. Credit, it's probably a lie. There's a lot more, like, there's a lot easier ways to process credit cards now, than to where it backs in.

Like, you could say it's super easy to set up now. But you're gonna have to tell them what kind of business you are? You lie. I mean, you can lie, but at least to say well, we make wedding cakes. I only buy cakes. You do it in a country where it's less regulated.

Yeah. I'm feeling like I'm a fuck. Yeah, I got one, I had to cancel one on Thanksgiving day. I got a text from my credit card company. I was like, did you just try to make a purchase for five cents in whatever something Mexico? Nope card company. I was like, did you just try to make a purchase for five cents and whatever, something Mexico? Nope. I did not, I did not do that.

How do you know that that's your credit card company texting you? I know. Okay. I know. I know as well. Yeah, it's like one of those things we just don't want to go into it too much. Yeah. No, when someone calls me, and they say like, oh, we detected some stuff. So I need to ask you about some transactions on your card. Can you verify some information for me? Can you give me like whatever last word did to your social security number? I said, well, you called me.

So I need to verify who you say you are, not who I, you called me. So I always hang up and call them back. I said, just give me your 800 number, I'll call you back. That's the times what they'll say is, if you ask them that, they'll say, okay, call the number on the back of your credit card and ask for this department or press this number. Like they'll always write you back through a number that you know you can trust. Yeah. Yeah, I don't trust the amount of call ever.

I don't understand and stay in age why credit card, what are they called, skimmers? Mm-hmm. Are still a problem. Like I stopped using the chaos, like the gas chaos outside, I have to go inside the damn gas station because I don't know,

they're at least like a huge problem. I grab every credit card, a little wiggle reader on a gas station. They're like an additional piece of hardware that people put over a credit card and they're explaining for the audience. That they put over a credit card, I'm not fighting for the audience, that they put over a credit card reader so that when you swipe yours,

you are swiping for the gas pump in this case, but you're also, there's another thing also grabbing your card information while you're doing that. So I can just grab the card thing and just yank. Yeah, and if long, get away from it. And also there's a seal that should be like a little security seal that's on the front of it.

And you know if it's been opened up if that seals broke. Shouldn't worry, I'd accidentally rip off the real reader. I'd be like, I did it for you. I shouldn't be that the owner of the ATM is required to check it like twice a day. Like why is it up to us to check it? What's the ATM business?

I mean, like, there's those private ATM's. Yeah, that's a little extra piece. Add on. And in what you see without it, it looks like, oh, that's obviously an extra bit, but that would look totally normal if you walked up to it. I've also seen like the round clear green plastic ones too. We really have you? Yeah. The round, I see those round clear plastic things everywhere like they're yeah Normal right slop over the top really. It's the same shit. They just put another one on interesting Did you see that

Was it discover master card an American Express or all ditching signatures Starting in April you don't have to have a purchase with them anymore just with visas It's got to be where we don't use cards and master card will be an outdated name So we should we should move to the phones That should be the primary and I get not everyone has a phone that's capable of like doing that little chip thing But we got a we got a move beyond Us and not devices shouldn't be like biometrics Yeah, but your phone your phone does a biometric check when you do that stuff typically.

A face one in this case. Sure. I think Apple put out a big thing about that. Maybe today, they think all credit card, like any kind of transactions like that are going to be phased out. Yeah, they make a competing standard, so of course they're going to say that. Yeah, I think they just released their Venmo competitor to Apple Pay Cash oil.

Yeah, has anyone used that yet? I did. Someone owed me money. I was like, don't give me the money. Apple Pay Cash it to me because I want to see how this works. And how did it work? It took them forever to set it up. It was fine on mine.

I got already set it up. They're not a very technical person. Took them forever to figure it out. But they figured it out and they set me the money. It's fine. And how much money to Apple it, I've got it. I've got it. I've got it.

I don't know. And I've got a balance now when I look at my wallet, of course it, and it just shows you how much money you got. Have you guys used Venmo? Yeah. It's so screwed up to me that the default privacy settings are, hey, everybody in your phone book, your Facebook friends,

can just find out whatever you're spending or whatever you're paying people. And it's like, I've used it once. Well, instead of laser team, we all pitched in for something. Not like social network. Did I know? No, you never did.

What? I don't know. I always pay my debts. Yeah, but it was like, Golden Dunn sent Bernie Burns 200 bucks. So I was like, what the hell? It's like, I'm like a wall Bernie Burns 200 bucks. So I was like, What the hell? It's like I'm my wall that people can read that. I was like, I don't want people Yeah, that's not that that's weird. Have you heard about you still owe me money for that dinner? We had five years ago Do I actually have you money now you know?

Yeah, I just forget I'll pay Anyway, I just a violation you owe him a feast Have you heard about the achievement hunter Vogo dinner is a feature in Google maps called timeline. Do you know about it? No, it puts on a map everywhere you go. No, what does that mean it puts on a map where you go? Like I can look at yesterday it will show a line

all over Austin where I went. How does it track you with my phone? Do you have to look up the location? What do you mean? Or just like if I'm not running Google Maps, it will, can I load up Google Maps and see whatever it was in the last week? Yeah, I can.

But I think you're setting what you had it set to. Like I had to turn that off on mine. I was like, I don't want that. It was on by default. That's pretty cool. That's why I only use ways like my- Mind without tracking. Yeah, but then I thought,

maybe I should leave it on it. It's like a good alibi if I ever if I'm ever in trouble Well unless you do kill somebody then it's a horrible you don't need an alibi I guess you need an alibi. What if like I was a dissimission of murdering someone But what if they could hold the data from your phone anyway? They can you cut any of this is an alibi something that only a guilty person could have No, or like if they came walked in here and said, you just killed somebody in the parking lot. No, an hour ago. Because he has an alibi.

Yeah. Anything people have alibi. Only an innocent people have alibi. Guilty people don't. Yeah, it just seems like if you say it alibi, it immediately assumes that to me, it's like the assumption is you're guilty and you need an alibi.

No. I feel like anybody could be guilty. That's the sort of thing. So like the dude who was accused of something and then he went and found himself and curbed your enthusiasm in the Dodgers game. Do you remember that guy? Yeah, yeah. That he was innocent.

Right. And he had an alibi. Right. Okay. I don't know why, just some- Only innocent people have alibis. Or guilty people have crimes. Guilty people try to fake alibis.

Right. You don't think it's a risk that, you know, if you do that and you actually do kill somebody, they can pull it anyway, like I said, it doesn't fucking matter. I also have a plan on killing it. I don't want to have a whole thing. I think very few people plan on killing other people.

Who has the information? Does it like providers? Disso AT&T or like Verizon would just give the information. But they just know the tower you're on, right? Just to get notification that President Frash going to be after Christmas? Oh, you screwed. I'm a little screwed. That's not a nice thing to say. Well, let's, let's wrap this up. You can talk. We can talk about what that present is and why it's delayed in the
