Welcome to the receipt podcast. I see we I want to tell everyone if you're a member of her she's first we live streaming can communicate with us

and chat and we got an eye on chat right now or if you just cord receipt.com Mondays when we stream this and so we're keeping on them lots of people ready for moon talk. What's up, gap? We start on time every week to the every week. Second on the dot. We actually are pretty good about being on time like every time I've been on Y'all have been hyper punctual like happy. Yeah.

It's very rare to be late even by a minute free also. I will say today was entirely by full Apologies if you watch your life that was Happens Along me and I You know it I'm sure we're gonna talk about this quite a bit, but it had there was a freak event yesterday in Austin It's snowed and it never snowed here and it was it was the end of the world I've been living in Austin now for 23 years

and I was the asshole all week long. We were like, it might snow on Sunday. I was the asshole going, it's not gonna snow. It won't stick. It'll just be rain. And then on Sunday, I was sitting in my house with no power under a blanket shivering when a mother fucking snow.

You lost power, oh no, no oh god it was so shitty it was like it was severe that was thunder I've never I've never experienced like I heard one thunder snow yeah this is just metal weather yeah yeah thunder snow but it's weird to have thunder not be able to echo around it was like but it's a little dampened by the snow. It was like, sounds weird. It sounded weird. At first I thought, like, I heard the initial rumblings of the thunder and I thought, is that wind? And I like, I went to my window to look out. I mean, it's like, it just gradually increased and it became thunder. It's like, it's thundering

during snow. It's like, it sounded so bizarre. I definitely didn't expect it to snow to that extent. Like, when I saw that the forecast had snow, I was like, oh, I've seen offs of snow before. It's the little flurries. It like melts pretty much on contact, if not like a little sprinkling of like that dusting on the grass that you might get. But it like was getting fucking thick.

Like, yeah, I was looking at it. I was looking at my lawn turn white, and even at that point, I was like, it's not gonna take this no matter. It is stuck. It's stuck, but I was like, my lawn turn white and even at that point I was like, it's not gonna take this note. It's stuck up and I was like, this is real. This is actual stuff. Yep. It's very cool.

I had my internet, I have like my Wi-Fi and my internet modem like hooked up to a battery backup system and I was like, when the power first went out, I was like, don't, it'll be fine. I've got my internet. I'll be able to use my laptop. They're like after two hours, the battery died. Oh, no. I went down. I was like, oh, shit. Now I got to find something else to do. God. What was your, what was your go to power outage move? Like, what did you want to doing?

Well, then, by then the sun started going down down so I had to start finding candles. Oh my god. When did it get back on? Did it come back? It was too long after dark. So it was like I barely had to, like by the time all the candles were set up, it was already back on. I like how right before the podcast we were talking about the snow and Eric, who's in this call with us, was saying that he's never lived. I'm getting a call on Discord. That was weird. He's never lived in a city that had snow and so he didn't know how to react and he thought his roof might cave in because of the weight of the snow. Don't make fun of me. I'm from Southern California. It doesn't snow on me. There's just fires. I know what to do if there's a fire. Sure. But no, I got scared that my car was going to get hurt. I didn't know what to do. I fell on the ground. It was. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I was walking and did you know that concrete is slippery when I see any. Oh, yeah. I'm not a big snow guy. Why did you go out into the world without doing research? Because I wanted to see it. Because it was no. And I went into what is this? It was interesting because I went on a little snow walk because you know, it's fine.

It sounds really cool. That all the sounds deadened. And I realized that I walked down the street and I was like, the last time I was walking out the street, I was sweating my tits off in like 38 degree weather. And that was like a few months ago. It's so weird to have such extreme climate differences in the same place.

I mean, it wasn't like 75 last week. Yeah, it was nice. It was great. Yeah. People are pointing out that it looks like I'm in a same place. No, I mean, it wasn't like 75 last week. Yeah, it was nice. It was great. Yeah. People are pointing out that it looks like I'm in a fuck room. When the power went out, the lights, my lighting behind me got reset, so I can't even be able to find the appropriate color again, so I'm going to adjust it right now. No, leave it.

I like the funny thing. Everybody loves Gus's fuck room. Who doesn't love Gus's fuck room? I'll show you. There's a little more R in you before. It's a little intense now. Oh my god, get it. I'm like, I'm moody. Oh, that's awful.

I have a look like he's in hell. There we go. Thank you, chat, for learning me to my fuck room status. It's fixed. I think it's a little more. No, that's too yellow. That's what it was like. God damn it.

I mean, it looks good though. I need some lights for behind me. I feel like everything's just coming from the front on my end, I have no like back lighting, which makes you guys look really nice. You had that little pink cloud for a while, that was chill, so. Yeah, but then I essentially redecorated my entire office face to be consistent with a mature looking thing

instead of like these neon Amazon lights that I had taped to my wall. Could you allow LED underlight? Yeah. Spot your name and shit. I think I'd like to live in a snowy climate one day. Spend. Oh, absolutely not. Did you not, did you, did it not snow where you came from in England? Not like that. Snow, like sometimes it would snow, you know, like a foot of snow, but it was just very rare. It would happen. I think growing up on average, like one day a year, you would get everything's going to stop because of the snow. But you're saying you want to live somewhere that's like a Montana or like a far north where you're like,

just to try it, just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try out. Just to try it. Just to try it out. No, no. Yeah. Now, someone who lived in a snowy climate for 22 years, I would not recommend. I think it's a nice thing to like take a vacation in. Maybe like even an extend vacation, like if you take a month off and like go do your thing in a snowy place, but to live that day in and day out for half the year, if not more, is a little tiresome. But it might be nice to do it once, right?

Like just go and then spend like one winter there him and never again. Yeah. The most the most amount of heart related deaths fatalities are caused by shoveling snow. Why is that? I've heard that. It's because your blood vessels constrict. I think they constrict and then you're doing a bunch of physical labor and then you blow harder because you're not not used to it there like surely people who live in a snowy climate don't like more Unfit more unfit people get out there during the snow months to get their car out of the snow

So they're sitting with sit at their office and they're not used to working You know doing any manual labor and then they get cold and they're so people people should shovel snow year-round all the time Prepare for it. Yeah shovel anything just do some exercise before you just start shoveling snow so your heart's ready for it, so you don't die in your driveway. Yeah, like if, Gavin, I know you don't drive, but if you like live in a snowy climate and have to go anywhere, you have to account

for extra time of scraping the ice and snow off your car and then letting your car heat up. Oh, yeah, definitely did that. Like before school, we'd have, like, we'd get frost to the point where the windscreen would, you wouldn't be able to see through it, you'd have to like dump water on it and scrape it off and stuff.

But when, uh, wasn't like real, what did you say? Don't have water on it. Yeah, that's right. I have to be honest. Some people think that they should pour boiling water on, on ice over windshield and stuff, but you definitely should not do that. If the freeze crazy immediately.

But it's the first time I ever saw that. The first time I ever saw that, it's when I was a lot younger at my old job, I flew up in winter. I flew up like in December from Austin to Madison, Wisconsin, and I got out of the airport and I went to pick up my rental car. And when I got in the rental car There was an ice scraper and a brush like I still like you know clean your car off if it snows But it wasn't snowing at the time and I looked at that it was on the driver's day

I was like those idiots they left a brush in my car like The next morning I woke up and like my car was covered in ice and snow is like, oh, that's what that was for like Idiots, look there's stupid brush in here. What is this a horse brush? That's kind of like a horse brush. No, I think about it Yeah, it was It was something else. I don't I can't remember the last time I saw that much snow here. And of course, the Austin subreddit became unusable all day yesterday because it was just Twitter.

So did Twitter. So my entire Twitter feed because obviously I follow every like people at Root your teeth and people live in Austin and people we know through like the this industry, I guess, a lot of people who live in Austin and every single person was tweeting about the snow in some form or fashion, whether it was an actual legit I'm out in the snow or man, obligatory snow tweet, like, yes, snow. It's very about the same. Very pure though. Yeah, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna shit on other people's fun, but it was just, it was, it was, there was a lot of snow pictures, a lot of pictures of snowmen posted on social

media yesterday. I mean, I get it. You live in a place where that's not something that you're usually exposed to. So I understand why people would be excited about it. I mean, those little shitty snowmen brought me, did bring me a lot of joy. Like everybody's had the tiniest, shittiest snowman. Like none of them were more than like 18 inches and everybody was so pleased with themselves.

I don't know whether it's because the ground was wet and boggy from winter, but these were some muddy snow. Oh, yeah, it was like, I really died. Because the snow didn't collect. All the snow was close to the ground in the mud. So it had very well got scooped up in there. It was also like just above freezing, which made the snow like super wet and compactible.

So it was probably a soak in and all that mud. Right. It was the worst snow for a snowball fight. Like taking one of those to the eyeball, one of those snowballs me yesterday, forget it. The worst, but also the best because if you're just above freezing, you could actually pack snow in when it's too cold, snow is too fluffy. So you can't actually get a firm like ball form, but like those balls, that's those the ones you get told on. That's the ones where you get something to get to get tells your mom and then you're in trouble. Like, yeah, one time, one time when I was a little kid, God, this is a bad story.

I can't believe I'm telling this. One time when I was a little kid, my sister and I did not get along very well. And it was one of those rare moments where it did snow. Like I said, I grew up on the border. So it's like snow over there is even more rare than here. And we got a little bit of snow. And how old were we? I must have been like 11 or 12. So my sister was, you know, a couple of years younger than me. And we went out into the front yard. And I don't know why. I think she was annoying me. So I just grabbed a whole bunch of snow in my hand. And then I opened up the back of her jacket and just threw it a bunch of snow into her back. Oh my God. And so she started screaming and then she ran inside so that way I could I was happy because I could play by myself outside in the snow without her and noting me.

She was done for the day after that. It was like that was it. Game over for her. She did not come back out. I felt so bad. I saw this. There's this girl I fall on social media. She's like a influencer. And she was doing this cute video where she was like, she had her phone up on the ledge and she was like playing in the snow, making a snowball and then one dude's thing where she like threw the snowball at her phone and it would like hit the lens

and then you would cut the video kind of thing. But I guess she had made a snowball and there was like a rock inside the snow that she had picked up. Oh no. And so it went and like knocked her phone and all you see is her going, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,

shh, shh, shh, like picking up her and all you see is her going, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh shit, shit, shit, shit, like, picking up her phone, and then you get all cracked. You gotta be careful. Oh, that's great. I didn't throw any, I didn't, I didn't engage in any snowball fights. I did see a rather, I did see a pretty big snowman in my neighborhood though.

Someone obviously gathered all of the snow they could and I know one. Still a snow. Yeah, it was probably still that but a little bit sad Yeah, it's all it's pretty much all gone this morning minus like some sprinkling on roofs here and there Also Gus, I know you're dying to talk about it. So I'll bring it up for you. I like your new earphones. Oh My new headphones they showed up two months early Oh, oh my new headphones they showed up two months early

Right right before we started the podcast I was sure The air pod max Little 360 wow There you go. Yeah, let's do the back Very nice. I like it. I can do that now the way it like sits on your head. It's nice. I like it. I can do that now. The way it like sits on your head, it's nice. Yeah. That looks comfortable and sound. They're pretty comfortable. I mean, my old ones are still right here in case these didn't work out. I like the just they're a little less obtuse. I felt like the, I love the, I love these headphones, but I felt like the band was a little too big on them. This actually sits a little better, a little more flush in my head. But the downside is that they are Bluetooth and wireless.

So they have a battery. So that's what I'm always afraid of battery-powered headphones that they're going to die when I need them. But it's also nice to not have a cord, like, especially if, I don't know, you're in a meeting or something, and you need to get up to go do something. You could just like walk away and still listen.

It's fun to you say that, because I keep, I don't know if you notice, I keep doing this every now and then, like I'll reach over my shoulder to like move the cord Cuz the old cord used to sit here and I would move it sometimes behind me. It's like oh the cord's gone I don't need to do that anymore. So could you charge them while you're wearing them? Uh, the Apple mouse like you have to plug it in underneath and the Why don't you put the plug there? I still don't understand who came into the office one day and was like, plug go there.

Like, no, it's the dumbest shit out of all the Apple design things. I think the mouse with the way it charges the worst. I think the Apple Apple TV remote is the way. Why? Why is this? But how did the Apple TV remote charge? What is that?

It's not it's not the charging of that. It's just garbage. The remote itself. It's the sensitivity of it and like the yeah. And over time it gets extra shitty and also if you put it down on your couch and look away for like five to six seconds it would have slipped away and gone between the cushions. It just appears. Not recommended. Yeah. to weigh in between the cushions. It disappears. Not recommended. Yeah.

The, the, the, the, I'm going to talk about my headphones again for a second. The other downside is since their Bluetooth, my mixer does not have any Bluetooth connectivity. Oh. So I had to buy a little Bluetooth adapter. I can't, you can barely see it right there and plug it it into my mixer, and then my headphones connect to this Bluetooth adapter. I'll be honest, it sounds like you've taken a step down in convenience and why not just use your old ones? The cord, right here.

And plus these have like a transparency mode, you can hit a button and you can hear like, without having to take the headphones off. So like, that's handy. Yeah, if someone's calling, if someone's at, you know, coming into the room here, I can hit a button. If my wife comes to the room, I can hear. I can hear.

Well, something that I don't like, sorry, Gavin, something that I don't like about wearing those over the ear headphones when we're recording is I don't have the ability to hear myself through my microphone the way I have my setup. So it feels muffled. So I always need to like take one earphone off of an ear so you know if I had something like that I'd be able to hear myself talk a bit better with that transparency setting. Like I'm testing it. Oh yeah, it sounds weird. Oh, I don't like that at all. I'm not afraid. for everybody. Bluetooth kind of sucks for everybody, right? Like I'm not the only one who's just using Bluetooth and it never works the way it's intended

to work. Everybody has that problem or not the only one. I feel like whenever I'm trying to set up a new Bluetooth device, it takes forever. It doesn't work, but then eventually it does work. All the shit that I set up, like, will randomly once every three months just be like, nah, I'm unpaired. I forgot that. Like, I have it in my truck and every like four months. I get in the truck and it's like, we don't understand how Bluetooth works anymore. I'm like, why is it not?

I've always wanted to dealt with over enthusiastic Bluetooth. Like, I was talking about how I have headphones that just paired to something that I don't know what it is and I don't know where it is, but it's still paired. But I like the headphones I've got. They have like a little base station, so I mix the plugs into that. And then it's wireless, and the battery is just swapped.

So you only have to be down for like five seconds while you swap the battery with the batteries. I also just looked over at the call to see Gavin. And can we just get a closeup on Gavin real fast? What's that piece of hair doing on your right side? Oh, yeah, it does look like a wire. Yeah, that's going like it's going like over your head. I thought that was a wire.

I thought that was like part of your head. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man. It's out of control. I like man. It's out of control. I don't like it. It was a very entertaining to me. Just watching that, fling about.

Real fast, this one's the thing I'm gonna bitch about here. Go on. What is that? What is that? This is the case for the headphones. What? Can you open it? Let's see it.

How does it? It looks like a bra. It does look like a bra. What the hell? I thought I was supposed to be like just a regular like big ol' pouch, although I guess I would have taken up a lot of room. It's so strange. Anyway, all right, that's it.

I'm gonna move on talking about this stupid thing. That you enjoy. That I enjoy. That I got pretty much for free because I had a gift card. Yeah, why not? This episode of Receive Podcast is brought to you by Mia Undies. Let's talk about love. Yeah, we're doing it.

So I'm going to sit you up for it. Last time, Drew was on a couple of weeks ago, you said that you were going to do some, some serious research into our background and tell us what the stars had in store for us. Yeah. So there are scopes. They're actually might not be a lot of people who are aware because I think it was the post show that we talked about it Oh, was it on it might have been the post show so yeah last time Drew was on we started getting off on getting off

I'm strong going off on astrology And how I've been like just like watching tiktok's about it like just reading about it and it's just fascinating I don't necessarily believe in that kind of stuff or I'm not putting a lot of like effort and energy into it but I just find it fascinating and then Drew Gavin and Gus were like oh like let's let's have you do or maybe I suggested it I don't remember but essentially I ask them for their birth dates their birth times and the birth cities to find More detailed information about these fellows. I wanted to see my mother's maiden name for some reason. And your first car?

Yeah, I don't want to. I feel like there was a little more to it than that, Barbara. So I understand that this isn't like very interesting to some people, but some people might find a fascinating like I do. So I have, I don't typically, I don't typically consider myself like a big astrology person, but why not? Right? I mean, if someone's passionate about it, like, I would have here. I also, so I put in all this information and I got your Sun sign and your Moon sign, or like where you were when you were born. And I was going to go deeper into it, but it was like

going to be essentially too much information and too long to get into on a podcast and probably would have gotten boring at one point. So I could send you guys the more information after, but. Sure, we can start a separate podcast where we just do that. Astrology with Barbara. Barbara tells the future. Yes.

So I can. On a technical note, I feel like I'm hearing some static on your microphone now, Barbara, like, like, there's a noise floor or something, like a electrical interference. B, B, B. It's only, yeah, it's definitely you. It's whatever you talk, I guess that's when the microphone activates. Just in case there's an easy fix, I don't know what's going on over there. Do I want me to try to leave the call and join the call again?

I don't know why's going on over there. Do I'm going to try to leave the column join the call again? I don't know why it's too tight. I'll leave it to Shane or Eric. I don't know if it's just me or if anybody else here's either. I'm not hearing any static. You know what's to be those new space age headphones? Oh, I hadn't considered that his headphones were bad. Oh, did you turn on noise flow gas? That's a feature. It's only when Barbara talks that. I don't know. That's weird. Okay, sorry. I don't want to do real.

So we could go about this a number of ways. I could just pick a person and start with them. Or I could like read about it and someone could guess if it's them. They're more detailed. So we might just want to like be straight up of like, this is this person's stuff. I'm a big guessing fan, but do it. Do it. Do it. Your heart says, let's guess for true. All right, let's guess. Let's. Okay. I'm a big guessing fan. Okay. So I'll start with this person. I have to avoid some things because it does give away like what the signs are. And I'll just talk around them. All right. So this person,

person number one, sensitive to both both criticism and others feelings, they believe in people, they're often hurt by compassionless human behavior. They have a tendency to avoid harsh realities, but when reality does hit, they retreat into their own self-pitying world. However, they gain energy and self from self-pity and they. However, they gain energy from self-pity and they come back stronger to face the world again. Some people believe that they find pleasure in suffering. Wow. So, for this person, in order to feel good about yourself,

they need to be busy with daily activities to produce work that could be proud of. Positive feedback for the services they render is important to them, but be careful. Not to over-identify with the appreciation you receive from others as your work and your health suffers when you feel underappreciated. Motivation to do a good job should come from within. This person invests a lot of pride in their intellectual capacities. They may not always listen as well as they speak. a lot of pride in their intellectual capacities.

They may not always listen as well as they speak. However, they might be too busy thinking about what to say next. This person is very curious, and although they enjoy expressing themselves, they usually don't dominate conversations completely. As far as studying or learning goes, they are better off reading the material than listening to a teacher.

These traits come from a strong need to take an active role in communication. It is very hard for them to passively listen and absorb information. Let's see what else. Okay. And then, okay, so that's the sun stuff. A lot of guests, the sun one. All right, so, yeah, this is about their son sign. So this is the same person and this is talking about their moon sign.

They find security in little things in life. They feel most content when they've straightened out all the details of everyday life. Many of them enjoy running errands, paying bills and balancing the books. They take care of these things happily, although some won't let on about it. In fact, many of them are quite practiced at nagging and complaining. As long as they are appreciated, however, these people will help you take care of your life, too. They are at their best when they usually feel useful and needed. If someone needs help, they are generally the first to jump in and take on the task. Almost done. These people express their affection for the people they care about in little but

practical ways. They can be a little stiff when it comes to open, gushy displays of affection, and they're often shy with new people. This person also has good memory, scientific or medical studies preferred above all others. They are humble and moderate, calm and reserved and are willing to help and are devoted and gentle. So that's that person. Whoof. That's none of us. There's like bits and pieces to unpack, right? It's like how much of it do you want to take? Like, there's like, if I take some parts, I get applied to one person or I take other parts, I get applied to another person. So I'm trying to think like holistically, like an average of

everything that you said, who would that apply to? Barbara, you also included on this or is it just us boys? Just this is just Drew, Gavin or Gus. Okay. Unfortunately, Eric is not included. I'm sorry, Eric, I'll get you next time. Okay. And do we want to hear all of them first and then guess on the ones or do we want to try to guess as we go? Might as well. I feel like it's a lot to remember.

Sure. I'm always thinking guess as we go. Yeah, okay. Guess as we go. Sounds great. But we can, we, yeah, I don't know. Let's do that. I mean, because then like the last person will know it's them, but we could read that.

Why don't we hear the last one and then we'll do a recap. So we remember, where's that too much? 20 minutes of this podcast or else just trying to figure out the rules of guess that astrology. Because there's no one here. Is there anyone here that feels like, oh, that's definitely me, or I think like I have a lot of those tendencies. I was going to say most of them. I was going to go from me, but I also went me the last time first and I was wrong. Yeah, I was, I was thinking some of it's me, but I was thinking also maybe Drew. So I'm going to, I'm going to go Drew as well.

Most of the Sunsign stuff, I was like, that's me. And then the Moon sign, I was like, I think it's Gus. So what's what he, what is the Sunsign? I was like, that's not me. And then the Moon sign was like, that's not me. Then the moon side was like, that might be me. I think a lot of people say the moon sign is often more accurate to the person. That's the second one. Yeah, that's the second one. That's the second part of what I read. Gus. So do you want me to get to say or just keep going?

So do you want me to get to say or just keep going? I guess. See? Yeah, all right. So that was I want you to say. I was going to say who the person is. Guesterola. Yes. So you are a Gemini son, Leo Moon.

Oh, Gussie Gemini. Oh, sorry. Yes, sorry. Yes, sorry. No, sorry. Pisces sun, Virgo moon. I was reading a different one. Virgo moon. You read the wrong one or just look the wrong one then.

I just, I pulled up the next time for the next one. Oh, got it. But I'll swap these around so you don't necessarily who's next. I liked the bit about how the self-pity makes them stronger. Yeah, but at the same time, I was like, I don't like that. I don't know. I'm gonna do it yourself.

And then that makes you better. If anything, maybe, that's self-pity, but like being bullied as a kid made me stronger. Maybe. I'm allowing in that. Yeah. Alright, let's see who to do next. Let's do this person next. Alright, let me get on my mains. Alright, one of the standout characteristics of those born under this Sun sign is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track.

With advancement and progress on their minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things. Many of them aim to free themselves of personal and social conditioning. Although open to change in theory, they could be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong,

but they could be very fixed in on their opinions. They're often a bit aloof and even standoffish. Nonetheless, they're usually well-liked. They are curious and observant and tolerant in a broad sense. They value progress and frankness. It's difficult to throw them for a loop. They're generally on top of things. They need space and value personal freedom. Any attempt to box them in will likely fail. They'll happily return the favor and they will treat people from all walks of life as equals equity and fairness are Home marks of this sign if you're quirky and different all the better

So that's for the Sun sign. This is two hundred percent Gavin. There's no way that that's not gap I feel like I feel like I could agree with myself with everything you just said That means it's probably you, Drew. Yeah, that's how this all works. Okay, what's the moon? So for the moon, familiarity is important. They feel with their senses, they are pretty much rooted in their ways.

They revel in material comforts. In fact, building a solid, uncomfortable home and foundation helps to keep them feel safe and content. It isn't wise to try to push these people into doing anything, but once they have made a commitment, they're persevering. There's a steadiness to this position of the moon and that is comforting to those close to them.

They tend to go out of their way to avoid a messy or unpredictable situation, crisis, or emotional display. Instead, they focus on creating a reliable and secure life around them. Their affections are strong, deep and unwavering, they are sentimental and warm. They are very much tied to the physical world, and they often have a particularly well-developed sense of smell. Relationships. And that doesn't mean it's necessarily Gavin. Relationships with people born with this position of the moon are often quite enduring. Many people in this moon sign hang onto their mates, even in the face of serious conflict.

They are a fixed sign, so breakups don't happen easily. There's a serenity to them that is calming. In fact, it takes a lot to really get them. However, they do get off center every once in a while. They are not the most adaptable people when their own routine is interrupted. For example, they are uncomfortable with surprises. This is Gavin.

Like, I feel like the end kind of cemented it for me as well. I feel like I want it to be me because that wasn't. It was an extra description of how I know who you are. Like that's like if you were to, if someone was like, I'm describing someone without actually saying anything, I was like, it's Gavin, that's, but I'm, I'm gonna guess that's probably me. Well, do you want me to read the other one

and then you guys could decide. Oh, okay. I feel like there's no way. I don't know, I feel like I want it to be me. I don't think it's me Then this would you be real you didn't have you didn't have the bad one like me like powered by self pity The only thing you took away not like them be like caring about people That's not me and it was powered by self pity.

Just you hate you. You just wake up every day out of spite to yourself. Just love it. Then you love it. All right, I'll read this last one and then you guys could decide between the two. All right, here's the last person, person number three. The urge for self-expression is strong. They are often just as interested in collecting information as they are in sharing it. Curious to a fault, they have a finger in every pie. They are flexible and changeable people. Their ability to adapt quickly to new situations generally gains them plenty of friends and social contacts. Usually quite

clever and witty, they enjoy intellectual conversations as they are easily bored if they're not getting enough mental stimulation. Often, often quite adept at fitting in with others, they easily adopt the moods of those around them. They are friends to people from all walks of life and are not easily intimidated. Their ability to detach themselves can make them very objective and observant, but a little difficult to get close to. Although they often have many friends, intimacy doesn't come as easily to these people. Usually quite affable, they enjoy the light side of life. This tendency to take things lightly makes them quite pleasing to be around, but it can be maddening to people seeking support on the deeper issues in life. They're both

interesting and interested. They're what can be dazzling and their changeability dizzying. At the very least, they will seldom bore you. So that's the sun. I was sure it was me until you got to the part where it's like, everything's light and easy. That's definitely everything's real. I'm looking chill. I thought there was a part that maybe laugh early on when you're like, this person is easily bored and Drew was just like staring off as if he was making a joke.

I was like, what would it sit the part about wanting to gather information and share it? I was like, that is drew to a tee. Like, I've gotten so many like off the wall informative from Drew at all hours. Like, have you seen this thing? Yeah. It's like Drew is the mail room of interesting things.

You should say, yeah, this will go to guests. This will go to Gavin's. It's awesome. All right, so let's read the moon sign part. All right. I got a burp though. Well, nice. Depending on other positions in the chart, these people are not necessarily outgoing.

When they feel comfortable, they do like being the center of attention. That is, they like being in this spotlight in the comfort of their own homes and with family and friends. They enjoy entertaining others and often take on the role of comic. They often feel they need to organize and even control their families and friends. They have an intermission to set things right and generally like to oversee the goings on in their inner circle. This is a rather creative position of the moon. At the very least, these people want to create and entertain. They can be rather lazy at times and a little

bossy too. Generally, though, they have a deep need to treat others fairly and justly. They require lots and lots of love and care in order to function well in the world. These people are far too concerned about their image to make splashy scenes outside the comfort of their own homes. In public, they prefer to take things in dignified ways. At home, however, they're given to big displays of emotional drama. These scenes generally don't last too long. However, they are often personally popular folk who are valued for their integrity and strong sense of justice. Generally, it is easy to reason with these people, appealing to their well-developed sense of fairness usually works well.

That one also sounds like that's, that one's on, I'm going to take that one. The third one's made for sure in the second. Those are too close, but if they're backwards then I don't know who the fuck is. Yeah, I feel like I can definitely relate to more stuff in the second two than the first one. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna stick with my R initial gut

and the second one for Gavin, that last one for Drew. So the person I just read is Gavin free. Oh, okay. So Gavin, I love that. I love that doesn't, I just don't identify. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing with astrology, right? Is it like you look into reading it about yourself and that's I think what people find a bunch of behoozy about it.

Yeah. Yeah. I think Drew got the best one there. I did get the best one. The middle one. Yeah, that one was great. Very complimentary. Yeah. I wouldn't necessarily agree with almost any of it, but there we go. Is that why I said you wished it was you that you were hoping it was you, Gav? Yeah. That second one was great. There was no. Yeah. See, I always think of Gav as someone who collects information and likes to share it, because he always has these fun facts and he's always full of this random information. I guess because we do the podcast together all the time. Yeah.

But I do get Gavin was saying, Drew is almost like the mail room of interesting articles and faggis. Like if people get onto my list, there's like a brain list that I have. If you get onto my list, I'm like, Oh, you know, who'd love that? That guy would. And it's like, I just send it out. And it only lasts, usually if you're lucky, it only lasts like three months. I guess, Gus, you've crossed, both of you have crossed the threshold now.

They're both hosed. We did it until I'm dead. Well, I've learned from that is that I should be more like true. I think I guess I'm trying people like or that people think you are. Yeah. Yeah. Do you see me? Yeah.

a couple months ago. I don't know what it was. It was about the re-timing video this meeting never happened. Yeah, I said that one to Gav too. Gav also has that one. Usually when there's science and video shit, it goes right to you guys. Science and videos where you that's how that that's how that milk gets categorized. It just like it just scares me like it's like deep fakes on another level where you can remove any trace of someone being in a video or you can retime video to make it look like things happen in a way where they didn't happen. And the quick example from that one of the ones that they use in that video was like showing a bunch of people jumping on trampolines in a big room

and everyone's jumping at different paces, but the algorithm retimes it. So it looks like everyone's jumping on the trampoline up and down all synchronized at the same time. Well, it sounds like what? George Lucas did in the prequels. Yeah, yeah, it's on shot first,

but in real life, for everyday application. Yeah, it's creepy, creepy stuff. I think it's creepy because it's AI, right? Like you could do that by hand. Always. Right, and the algorithm's just like looking at it and taking it apart for you and then putting it back in.

Yeah, the fact that someone's built the tools to be like, hey, just make it like this and then just does it. That's so weird. Anytime, yeah, anytime a computer fucks with a human likeness, I get really weirded out or sick. Hey, we took that person's face and made it put it in a computer. And now it's on this person's face. What do you think of that?

I don't want that. I don't like it. Please take that robot away. Before we get too far away from it, can you send me the one about me, the like the full one to me, the email Barbara? Yes, I'll send you the Google Doc that I had this in, but if you go to, I'll give you the website and you could put in your information and it'll just like essentially fill it all out. It's not one of those things you could like save as a web page, unfortunately. Okay, cool. Yeah, well,

I'm kind of curious to read some more about it. Yes, I bought a movie. You bought a movie? I bought a movie. Oh, have you seen it? Oh, nice. Yeah, I've seen it. Oh, okay.

Wanted it. I'm gonna watch it again. I, someone tweeted to me the other day, and I sent it to Gavin. Someone tweeted to me a, like, a set photo from that movie. What, what pass the point where you talk about spoilers for that movie? We've probably spoiled that movie on this podcast before, right? Sure that you have it.

There's no way that you haven't. It's a set photo from the final scene where someone's been stabbed, someone has cake on their face. And they're all just like, on set, laughing and smiling, hugging each other. We're just see that out of context, knowing how that movie ends and just seeing everyone like just being calm and chill.

Yeah, they're on set. They're like, they're making a movie. It's a great film. Oh, speaking of movies, is this the podcast where we can finally talk about Tenet? Is that allowed? I haven't seen it. I guess not. You can talk about Tenet? Is that allowed? I haven't seen it. Oh, I'm not seeing it.

Oh. I guess not. You can talk about it. Listen, whatever, talk about it. I don't care. We'll talk about it. We'll save it. We'll save it.

We'll save it. We'll save it. I don't even know if I could spoil. I've seen it three times, and I still am figuring it out. Stuff's like backwards and shit. But it's intentionally, it's intentionally vague. Like, momentum only almost makes sense.

But it's tenet just like vague. I feel like momentum, momentum definitely makes sense because you could physically, you can repiece it if you want it to. You can like cut it into a linear progression if you want. Can't really entirely do that with tenant. Yeah, I tend to.

Stuff happening at the same time that's only shown once. Yeah, I don't think it's a, I think Memento's a lot easier to grasp than this. Oh, for sure. Because Memento's like confusion pay off, confusion pay off. And it's because it's all cut that way. They're they're like they,

they intend it, they do stuff just to show off. They may be like, I had to pause the movie sometimes and be like, wait, how does that work? Or what's happening here? Uh, like during the climactic battle when the building is blown up twice. And you're like what just happened? How did that work? In the movie, I immediately I was like and I looked down I was like right what point was that building completely upright?

Like when was that building? How was it left? How was it built? Like did it exist in real time for like two seconds? Like, they just finished like, ah, we're all done with that built thing. And then it gets. That was the turning point for me when I was just like, wow, OK, it's gone beyond my comprehension. My goodness.

Well, that movie does the thing where it, like, it doesn't make sense for a long time. And then I was reaching a point where it's like, I'm going to check out of this movie if I don't understand it soon. And then right when I was thinking of it, I was like, oh, wait, wait, this is it. This is the scene where they're going to explain what the fuck is going on. I felt like that when they start showing you what's going on is like they timed that perfectly. Because I was like, I am so lost. And if I don't figure out what's going on in is like they timed that perfectly, because I was like, I am so lost. And if I don't figure out what's going on

in the next two minutes, I am totally out. You just that once? Well, but that's when they start explaining. And they're like, okay, I can start wrapping my head around what it is that I'm seeing here. And then you can start trying to think about it, because up until that point, you're like, I have no idea what's happening.

Have you guys seen Soul, the new Disney Pixar movie? No, no, yeah. I did see that one. It was good, but it made me sad, but it was good. That's what I'm afraid of. I don't like thinking about dying. I don't like thinking about being in space and dying and shit. I don't want to know.

I don't want to know. It's not what I mean though. Yeah, it's why I hate the moon, Gavin, because everybody... It's up there. A little known fact, when you die, you go to the moon. As more people die, the moon gets bigger hate the moon Gavin because everybody when you die a little known fact when you die you go to the moon. As more people die the moon gets bigger because the moon is bones. Right. The moon is bones. It's funny that you say that true because like I'm in the same boat as you like dying.

I constantly think that I'm constantly terrified of it. Yeah, like I hear about someone who died and I'm like, okay, well, now I'm terrified to be alive constantly because I what if I die unexpectedly. But this movie had the opposite effect on me. It made me more like grateful for life. Oh, no, I just went right into the death hole. I went to the death hole like the first five minutes and I couldn't get out.

I just kind of hang out down there. You like wonder with Ellsville and it's like, oh, I wonder if I'll ever actually meet the devil And then you're like, well now I'm stuck down here great Now I'm just gonna be thinking about the afterlife for the next hour and a half and the by the time I started to pay attention again the movie was over I feel like I stopped wondering what death was gonna be like when I Just remember what it was like before I was born and I assume it's gonna be very similar sure almost exactly to that Well, there was nothing to the right the weirdest part of that to me is there are before I was born. And I assume it's gonna be very similar. Sure. Almost exactly to that.

Well, there was nothingness. Right. The weirdest part of that to me is there are several years where you existed, but you don't remember them. Like, you were born and there's five years, four, five years where you don't know anything that happened. And then it's like your brain starts working. I've got memories from when I was two

So I've my window was short, I guess of the non-memory making There's apparently a very few number of people in the world who Remember every day of their life. It's like a very very small amount. How do you prove that? I had a pretty good. Someone remembers everything. I mean, yes like you prove that, though? How do you prove that someone remembers everything? I mean, yes, like, oh, like January 6, 1985, like, oh, yeah, well, I, I went here and I saw this person and I was wearing this shirt and blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you just give him a random day and- I think you're saying like day one,

I came out of the womb and there's a very, very small- There's a very, very small- There's a very, very small percentage of people who can actually do that day by day. Most of those people, they've found are avid journalists. So they'll journal and then re-reference their journal. And then that's how they're actually not remembering the actual memory. They're remembering the journal entry, which is a whole new difference.

I was going to say that it reminds me of that episode of How To, where he talks about how he writes everything down that happens. That was the saddest, aside from the last episode, that episode where they show his journal, I was just like, this is the saddest man I've ever met in my whole life. And it's every day laid out and there's just the tiniest print of everything he does. So it was like, he meticulously documents the whole city. But that's probably really interesting for him though to reference that. Oh, incredible. He said he was going back through it. I was just like,

why is that sad, though? It just looked the way it's written is real sad. It's real scrawly and sad. I just got sad for a minute. I was like, this poor guy spends a lot of his day writing real tiny boxes. Man, that's a bummer. That is a very sad existence. But it seems like a happy dude, though. It would be useful, right? Like, if you were curious, how many hamburgers did I eat last year? Let me reference the journal and you'd be like, Oh, I ate 40 hamburgers. Maybe only 41 this year.

I feel like it is sad how much memory vanishes and blows together to the point where you can compress a year down to like a couple of things that you remember about it. Like if I said to you, what did you do in September of 2017? Would you have any idea? Sure. No, I would. Not a single thing that I would remember. I honestly, like if you said,

what did you have for dinner one night last week, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Yeah, I think I said, I wish I could maybe every day as extreme like generally, but I wish I had like a compressed summary of every month, like what happened that month, what I did. I feel like I look back through my camera real on my phone if I want to remember stuff Yeah, look at my

Similarly, similarly when I was freelance project based stuff made everything a lot easier to remember things like I know that I got my dog the month after I got finished with a big job And I remember that job very well. It was like a moment And I remember getting the dog and like the early days of the dog. So it's like those project based things are very helpful. Like you said September 2017, we just finished blood fest. That's how I know what we were doing.

Like I can remember days after that show it finished. So I think that's a really helpful thing in time. It's just having benchmarks of things. Yeah. I'm okay with placing stuff either before or after like a big event in my life, but that's about as far as it goes in terms of things. I'm okay with placing stuff either before or after like a big event in my life, but that's about as far as it goes in terms of memory. Oh, that was before that happened or that was after that happened. Sort of the stuff. Yeah, same. I guess maybe, like, I guess you don't

journal right, Kev? No. Or like, like, take a little picture, though. Yeah. I wonder if it just, like, help, like, helps you be a person who's better remembering things by journaling like not necessarily referencing it Yeah, when you journal it you it has to like filter through you and you have to process it with a picture You're just blindly go like flip and then you can forget that you even took it like you didn't go through you in the same way It's like you're summarizing it yourself by writing. Right. I feel interesting. Huh. This episode of the received podcast is brought to you by Felix Gray.

We're getting into like a deep, super accessible, about like, what is memory? What is an experience? We can, to dig us out, we can play that game. I brought the little guessing game about the cookbook.

Oh, you love guessing. So, uh, Drew, bro, you set it up. Drew, why am I setting it up for you? Uh, I was watching. I was going to watch soul. Goodbye. Yeah, go watch soul. Uh, I was watching Maddie Mathes in this week.

And he showcased a cookbook on his show. And if you don't know, Maddie Mathes is he's a great internet celebrity chef and makes good food. And he's just loud. It's like if Michael Jones cooked. It was great. But he was he like mentioned this cookbook on his show and was like, wait, what? And so I said it to Gus. I was like, kind of talk about this on the podcast. And he was like, I guess if we have to, it was a great. Okay, cool. So I'm going to show you the picture of this cookbook. Actually, Eric's going to throw it up in the

G chat. Yeah, there it is. Tell me what this cookbook, like what is some of the some key ingredients of this cookbook. Gravy? Shhh, kinda, Gavin? So what am I doing? I'm saying an ingredient. What kind of cookbook is this? National Harvest. Go to Gus. Oh, I already saw it. He sent it to me.

And I had to approve it. Shuga. Sugar. Eric, go ahead and... Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha! So, gravy was pretty close. Yeah, gravy, sugar gravy's real close. Yeah. The Amazon page for this fucking book

is like something out of a nightmare. It's a treat. It's a delight and it's weird as shit. But yeah, I found that this week. I was like, I need to bring this to the podcast. Maybe it's a talking point. There were there were a shocking number of related items to this cookbook. Tons. And then also, there were like, oh, let me find it. The back of the cookbook is exquisite. The only review that I found of the cookbook was also exquisite. This recipe book is very practical. It saves on tissues and allows me to use all of my natural and hard-earned and put it into good use.

Whereas otherwise, it would get wasted. Review on Lulu dot com Nope, we don't need that is Seaman technically a waste product I mean I would just no because like coming with bodily fluid your period like don't like don't do that It's not a waste because your body doesn't need to Excrete it like it doesn't build up. It's not toxic inside of you, right like other waste to excrete it. It doesn't build up. It's not toxic inside of you. Right. Like other ways. But other ways you have to expel because it would. I would argue the same for a for a nocturnal giz. Yeah. Don't you have to expel seeming a mall healthy and stuff like that from time to

time? I mean, I say that, but you don't need to. You don't die. I guess it's good. It's good for your prostate, right? I guess you could go a year without doing it by accident. I went many years. Oh, when I... Not even masturbating? Well, I guess that's true. I'll little, I'll teach boys or masturbating scenes.

Let me reference your astrology chart real fast to see. See what regards to its natural. What's my natural harvest on your astrology chart real fast to see see what regards to its natural what's the what's my natural harvest on the astrology chart I'm a tendency to avoid harsh realities, but they like to have wallow in their own self-pity Anyway, so if you guys want the book, I can all send you a copy. I'll send everybody a copy at the end of the show. I want it to get more into cooking this year. Do they recommend that you go, you make your specimen before you start cooking?

I'm not sure. I'm not sure like what at what point of the procedure are you just pulling natural harvest. I'm mid cook. I need to make a mental note to never eat at Drew's house. I'm just saying this is a bad idea. Don't put bodily fluids in your food. Well, you know with some recipes, you're supposed to mix something as you're pouring in and ingredient. So maybe this is the where like you're mixing it and then you got it like slowly. You got whip up a batch slowly. You got to get the ingredients in.

I mean, I see you're using bodily fluids from other creatures, true. Just milk. You're milk. And then the eggs, I guess. But like human, I guess is it cannibalism to use a natural harvest to cook with? I feel like that's a level of cannibalism

Is it not no you're not eating the person? I mean That's a full-tell discussion You're eating half a person right genetic code Also millions of half babies the other thing that really bothered me about the cover of that cookbook was, why would you use a flan? Why? It's the most disgusting thing you could have put. You know, it looked like a bunch of penny noodles.

It was crazy inside. Oh, I never saw that until you set that bar, bro. Oh, that's, that's why I was like, I was going to say noodles, but that didn't seem very exciting. So that's why I said gravy because it looked like a combination of the two. Also, why is the author's middle name in No, that's what that's what it goes by. That's his go by name, right?

Okay. Is that like a foreign word for something? I have no idea. But like, that's just his, that's his thing. This is, and see, this is the, uh, this is something that got left on the mailroom floor in my brain. I was like, I can't send this to anyone. I'm just going to have to tell the entire internet about it. I know.

I'll take it to the podcast and tell everyone. That's right. So everybody knows now you're one of us. Pick it up at any Amazon dealer. Any Amazon dealer. God. How do you find these things? I love it. Who is this?

That's good username. Junior Amazon says it's, I'm talking about the flan. It's the comiest looking item. Right. Yuck. You don't have to keep showing it, Eric. It's funny. It's come me a things in that.

I want to see some images. The back cover is very fun. Like the writing on the back covers very good as well.. It's very time. And probably the back cover is very fun, like the writing on the back cover is very good as well. Again, take the time, go to Amazon.com, check it out, buy a couple copies. I get a dollar every time somebody buys one. I guess you can tell me I don't have to show it. I'm choosing to show it.

I want you to look at the come-flon. I want you to see it. Look at the come-flon. Look, then here I am, and you can look at me, and now we're going to come-flon. It's right there. Look, then here I am, and you can look at me, and now we go to the conflon. It's right there. Why do you want that association, Eric? I don't want the association.

You're bragging the community. It's too late, Evan. I don't want the Eric Conflon t-shirt. This is hypnosis, Eric. You need my consent before you hypnotize me, I think. Oh, no. I got an air. I can't get in from the con.

It was removed from the meeting. Ah! Let's see what I have to look at now, motherfucker. I know I got a good picture was removed from the meeting Let's see what I have to look at now motherfucker I Can me again there will be Who do you think you are? This is uncouth. This will be the last time.

Do you understand? Look at this face, the face of vengeance. This will not stand all of us. This smallest face of vengeance. A very little face of vengeance. Can you bend his eyes? I can't. I can't.

I can't. And join me? No more no no no more censorship over comey flon Okay, that's enough of that all the ingredients in the world though Seaman like it doesn't doesn't do it have a flavor You know I just don't get like it be one thing if it had a very distinct flavor.

I'm like, okay, these recipes call for this flavor that you need in it. But it's just like gooey nothingness. Say no to seabed. Use an egg. Correct. Protein substance. Oh, I have a new and you complain about cyberpunk that I've thought about guys What's that? There's a monopoly on doors in that game every door is the same Are they they're all made by the same company who just made this one door and everyone bought this door you go to like They're all made by the same company who just made this one door and everyone bought this door. You go to like super low income areas, people living in trailers, but they always have the very shiny, very high tech automatic sliding door immersion breaking, except for the pedals. Those are different.

I never noticed that. I'm going to go back and look again sometime. Eventually once the game is fixed, I can play it and I decide to boot it up again. That's a, like you are you close to be, are you gonna be done soon? I'm still like, I think I'm like 60% on the first percentage. Good. That's the one I finished. Was that one on the far left? Yeah, pretty sure I was the one.

I think you're saying this as a doors generally look different from each other They do how many different types of door There's a lot like for time. There's like four doors. I mean Yeah, you got a plain one you got one with like the little square Indense in it and you got one that maybe have like a rounded indent in it and then you got a glass one You got like your wooden doors. Yeah, I got I think this you got your sliding doors You got like a pocket door. I think you've got like my house business door. There's like glass with one of those Closes on it. There's all doors everywhere in my in my house. I have five different kinds of doors

Wow I feel like Gus is humble bragging right now. Let me take you on a tour. I got a front door. A back door. And my doors. Dores, in-sinter doors. Like the doors at work?

They're different. They're saying that they all look exactly the same. Like every door in this game looks exact. Maybe that's maybe it's part of the deal. She going out. That's what every door is a futuristic metal sliding door with a light on it that's red. If you can't green if you can't.

But. So that's what that's all they have inside. Rapunqu is those types of doors. Unless it's like a double door or like a thing you have to lift pretty much every door But. So that's what that's all they have inside Rapunque is those types of doors. Unless it's like a double door or like a thing you have to lift pretty much every door to every building you go and is the same. So you tell me there's at least three doors. Yeah. But that's not many doors for a whole city drew. How many different doors are in Austin? Let me ask you that at least three. We need a door census.

Barbara, were you to say? I was just confused as to like playing that game. That's something that Gavin noticed. Again, finding information and dispelling that information, little bits and pieces to people. Little bits. Yeah. Man, you're such, you're such a, a son in Gemini, and Leonardo Gavin. My God. I think if I had to guess, I would say wouldn't probably Drew's attention was the light.

What do you mean? The light on the door that's red or green. Is that what's attractive to your attention, Gavin? I think it's just because this like trail apocque had him. And I was like, Oh, sure. How was the future? Maybe they found the perfect door for everything, every purpose. And they're like, let's just stick to this door.

It's cheap. We got it. Got a monopoly on doors. And that's it. Maybe in the future, there's a door war. And they're the victors. And then that's what everybody owns. And so that'll be like DLC.

They'll be like a prequel to Cyberpunk called like Cyberpunk, the war for doors. And you'll have all sorts of doors. And then eventually it'll just turn into all the same door by the end. I don't know. Let's see if you try to drive me to be a story producer. I'm down. I'll come through. Or society as a whole has decided to move on.

It's like, we've got doors settled. That's it. We don't have to worry about them anymore. Let's focus on everything else. How many, just guess off the top of your head, how many different types of doors do you think they're are in the world? Like if you had a just a shot in the dark. I mean someone brought it up in chat, but like even playing the Sims There's already like 75 different types of doors or something like that. So realistically in the world. Yeah, probably I would say on hundreds of thousands. I'd say millions. You got a lot of people probably making their own doors.

Yeah, custom doors, I guess you got. Where do you draw the line? Is it gate at door? Is it saloon door at door? It's a saloon what? A saloon door, a door. Oh yeah, hey look at that. But what about the little pushy boys,

the little, you know, you're walking the cowboy house. Look at those. Yeah, about are they, is it a door? Is it flaps? Yeah, what is that? What is that door you would call a salute, the saloon flaps? I'm going to cruise on down. I got to buy me some saloon flaps. Yeah, like what constitutes a door?

Like is it something that could be closed completely and it's a wall that moves. A wall that moves. A wall that moves. A wall that moves. A wall that moves. So would you call a gate for like a gate for like a pet? Is there a height to it? Like what if it's like one of those little stair gates? Well, when a door is closed, you want it to act exactly like a wall. No, I have a question for you, Giff.

When is a door not a door? I know the answer to this dumb joke. When it's a jar. I knew I added that sound effect to what Mr. Forgotten. We did it. We finally found it. Sorry, continue this conversation That's under factor. We did it. We finally found it.

Sorry, continue this conversation, because I am genuinely curious. Well, I think the conversation ended right, right, as soon as I started it. That's because you think this is right. No, the conversation is starting because I'm right. It just wasn't worth a conversation. That's why I'm right. I just wasn't worth a conversation as well. I think we've experienced some real philosophical rabbit trails on this episode. I think we need a graphic for next week, a door or a wall. Yeah.

But you can see it. Look, if every car was the same in Cyberpunk Gus, would you notice if every car was identical? Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. Because you interact with cars all the time. They're in the street. You drive some of them. Doors.

I'd say you interact with just as much. You're always going right up to them too. Looking real close. Yeah, but you spend lots of times in the car, you just kind of pass through the door. It's like, you don't even think about it. This exact meeting happened at CD Projekt Red like six years ago.

They were just like, no, we're sticking with one fucking door and somebody's like, well, I think somebody's going to have a problem. I'm like, no, we're doing. No one's going to notice the door. It's the doors. Who's going to fucking notice? Cut to. Oh, we're going no one's gonna notice the doors who's gonna fucking notice cut to Yeah, I want to point out in chat PJD 666 says I adored that joke a

I have another joke that I want to tell the podcast that I heard over the weekend that I liked a lot Yeah, oh, it's not just me You were frozen for Zekas. Oh, okay, yeah. I don't know what the fuck's going on over here. Maybe your internet just paused itself. Yeah, great. Awesome.

Yeah, after my power went out yesterday, it took so long for everything to come back up the way I was supposed to. Like my route, my lights were still set to fuckroom setting apparently. It's like just trying to get like the internet working again. It's like, no, this thing needs to reboot before that thing. Just like this cascading level of things that need to be straightened out. And I might still be dealing with some of that shit that might be what I'm talking about. Guess, are you taking pleasure in suffering in in your self-pity. He's very shot. You'll come back stronger than ever. Oh no.

No, it's true. It's happening. Not like this. Yeah, I do feel like you're going to come back stronger after you've walled in self-pity for a little bit on this. You're like it's going to be somehow better. Oh god. Oh, I'm never going to let you love that one now.

Fuck you got me. Um, well, I'll tell you, because it made me laugh, and I think you guys will get some pleasure out of it. What's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot. I was literally halfway through saying, well,, it's not carrot because that's not funny But it is carrot It's just like when you're not expecting it because I was just what I was watching a video where someone made that joke I like I spit my drink out everywhere because it's just like the most in plain sight joke you possibly make But usually the in plain sight ones that are funny, they're

not the ones you're brain immediately jumps to. Right. But I was just heard carrot. Yep. You're too smart for the joke, Gavin. I saw an awful story the other day, speaking of I saw an awful story the other day, speaking of Drew's little, you little nuggets. There was, I read about a town, I think it was in the UK. Yeah, that is, they have a serious problem where the town is being overrun with radioactive seagulls. Go on. I guess that there's this nuclear power plant in Cellefield.

And they have a real problem with birds that come by and like come by through hazardous radiation and then try to move on. Like they're ready. They become a radiation and then try to move on, like they become created and then they would leave. So they've hired people to shoot birds around the power plant. So whenever birds come by, they shoot them, but they don't know how to dispose of the birds

because they're now irradiated. So they have a giant freezer filled with radioactive birds and it's getting to the point where it's really full. And there's no way to transport them or dispose of them. So they have, they're just being, they just have tons of radioactive seagulls that they don't know how to get rid of.

Launch them in the space. Launch those birds into space. They're designated as low level nuclear waste. Whenever you see the signs that they have to make sure could be read in every language by any generation of human for decades to come. And there's like buried nuclear waste. I can't imagine seeing one of those signs

and digging it up and it's just birds. Just seagulls. A bunch of buried birds. Beyond here there be gals. They're going to have to bury on it. Yeah, they said that there's a disposal place that they can take it to a few miles away, but because the the the it's like organic matter, it's like this whole other thing they have to worry about like other animals coming and eating them or how they're going to decay and what happens to that radiation. It's like this whole other, what couldn't you pressurize?

Couldn't you pressurize all that like make a big pot of like pressurized seagulls and then use that as your rate like as a power like power is like a rate like then you're just running like you just renew the circle of uranium with a radiated, what's the fog of a seagulls. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like if you bury him, the decomposition will release a ton of gas, which will be an

issue for whatever they contained. Right. We go back to cumflan. Why don't we feed the cumflans to the irradiate seagulls? I'm not supposed to show their out maybe. Neutral. Oh my god. Yeah. So, yeah, that's quite the problem. That's definitely the beginning of a movie.

Well, someone in chat said to get the guy from Tenet to take care of it. Very good. So, I'm supposed to take the two turns dial and they've... Kacky and... Kacky and Chat said, is this a Simpsons episode? Very good. So, I like to turn style and they've- Kacky and Chatset is this a Simpsons episode? It should be. So make a great Simpsons episode. You've heard about that, the bird that, like, basically allegedly saved our universe.

I've told this story on this podcast before, right? We're like the bird. I think so. There was a bird. I think it was over the large Hadron Collider and it dropped a piece of bread into the right spot and it like made the Hadron Collider not function when they were gonna fire it up to do this big, big test.

And these two dudes made a paper about like, have that bird not done that and they ran the test. You could have ripped a hole in our universe and so the only reason our universe still subsists is because of this bird dropping a piece of bread. That thing actually ripped a hole in our universe. And so the only reason our universe still subsists is because of this bird dropping that thing actually. That's a whole for long enough. I don't know. It was just the article. Man, I don't know. That's that's some pro bird propaganda. I know I've never heard it. I feel like those birds and the irradiated birds might be, might be like cousins. The other day I saw a hawk ripping apart a pigeon in my backyard. Like, that's

fucking metal. It was going to town eating that pigeon. I'll be honest. You could invite David Asimbrut to your house and he could make an eight pot series just from looking out your window. Yeah, it was like it was big. I first I could tell what was going on because the hawk was standing on the pigeon and it was like putting its beak down and it would like, you know, stand up. Right exactly like that kind of motion because it was like it was putting its beak into the pigeon and then like standing up to rip flesh out from it. It's like what's that bird doing? Oh, it's eating another smaller bird. Yeah, it was eating another smaller bird. It's a... How many snake encounters have happened at your house at this point? Because I have my eyes out for snakes. I'm worried that there's going to be snake encounters with my dogs. Any armadillos? I have not seen any.

I wish, I haven't seen Armadillo in Austin for years. Oh, I see them every three days. Live ones? Yeah. Yeah. The trail, the little trail that I read my bike on, go like we ran into the night and they're always out digging around.

Every three days. At least every three days. Armadilla. Do you smell them with your good sense of smell, Drew? Yes. I smell my good sense of smell. At that point, I keep... The good sense of smell thing, I was like, has to be Gavin. There's been too many nose jokes on Gavin that we can't. It has to be Gavin.

I purposely left that in to throw you guys for a loop. Yeah. What? Does the red herring the red nose? Exactly. I so speaking of like animals doing things like that when they're like ripping apart prey like that, something that I didn't know until like a few years ago is when you give a dog a toy and it does this thing where like whips its head around and like, I first thought I was like, oh, she's playing with it or trying to get it in a better position, it's trying to fucking kill it.

Like, I didn't know that until... Yeah, that was the rabbits and chickens. And yeah, and like, yeah, I think it was something I saw where they were doing that with rabbits. And I'm like, oh, fuck, that's what they do with toys. Like, studying toys. Yeah, I've never thought she was doing on TV once of a, that's what they do with toys. Like studying toys. TV wants to, it was like a pest control show when there was like an barn infested with rats.

And instead of trapped, they were just let a few dogs in there. Yeah. They grab a rat and go, and just like snap its neck to death, immediately drop it and just get another one and just do it over and over again. I guess when you got no hands, you just need to use your neck to kill stuff. That's right. That's also why they like squeaky toys, because the squeaks remind them of prey

crying in their jaws. Yeah, that's just like, I don't know. Like I know it's an animal, but it's still like dark to me. But that's also why some dogs were bred like terriers specifically. Like I think Yorkshire terriers were intended to sleep in beds with people with children

so that if rats came out in the middle of the night and like crawled into the bed, the dog would kill them. Yeah. We're like shits, who's, shits, who's lived in the sleeves of Chinese emperors, right? Yeah. That's, that was the whole thing. They were a little attack dogs and they lived in the big sleeves and would jump out. Oh, man. That's crazy.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure anything that pet does is based on ancient wild instincts from their ancestors. Yeah, or bred for a very specific purpose. Yeah. There's docksins are that way so they can, they're long so they can burrow into badger compounds. Badger docks, yeah that way so they can they're long so they can borrow into badger Bajotons badger dogs. Yeah, doxies

And then a lot of them a lot of them were all they did this like weird alligator role thing a lot of doxins Do and they'll what it is is when you grab a badger they have a bunch of extra skin And so you have to like tighten it up in order to pull them out And so that's what they're doing when they roll around a bunch. It's fucked up. Dogs do weird shit. I want to know what you mean. I want to know what you mean.

Yeah. Have you ever seen a cat look at a bird? Did it go? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, what? What is it doing? They like move their jaw and like make a little noise.

Yeah. I don't know if this is like practicing that what they're going to do when they get the bird to try and eat it. It's like when you see like a commercial for burgers on TV and you're like, oh, that looks good. You start drooling. I've got to call a heap in a burl. I think when I first got to sleep, I noticed him doing that at stuff at the window, but he would also do it on one other occasion. And that's whenever I got an achievement and it would pop up, you know, at the old style, I'd be like, and it would pop up. He would make the same noise at my achievements. Really strange. I'm not sure how they relate to each other at all. Oh, Eric wrote something. What's your right, Eric? Why don't you just say it?

I love this because I found it right when you said the achievement thing generally cat chirping occurs when a cat is interested in or provoked by prey bird squirrel rodent, etc. For example It's more of an excited sound in less of a sound used to hunt so the cat heard you get an achievement and was excited Always been so supportive of me. I've got excited. Yeah. It was awesome. Me has always been so supportive of me. I love that cat. I also, speaking of your cat, Gavin, I saw a video of your cat standing at, like, perfectly straight up. What was it doing?

It was, yes, I think it was weird out by the snow, but I was just sat on my couch and it was in the corner of my eye. I was like, and it was just upright, like a mere cat. It's like looking around. It looks like an absolute alien. I don't know what he was doing. This was my newest cat, this was cute.

I watched that video like, I think five times. How many of these cats do you have now? Four. Four. What point do you guys are officially cat ladies, right? Yeah. You're one time you become a cat man. Four is for limit.

At three. Oh, okay. You at three you have too many cats. Yeah, numbered. Yeah. Two to one. Yep. All right.

Well, we need to go ahead and wrap this up. So, uh, thank you for watching for listening to us talk about astrology and cookbooks and cats and everything else that we've been through this year. Oh, it's semen. It's snow. Uh, so thanks for again next time. Bye! Do you like apples? All right, example. Together in Treppet hosts, Charlie Collins.
