Yeah. You've been, you were out in LA not too long ago, right? I don't know. I feel like when Funhouse first joined, yeah, and we started seeing you guys. I felt like I was seeing you like every single week. There was too much. It was too much. I agree. No, I agree. It was terrible. It was like once a month we were out here. Yeah, it was terrible. I didn't mind it. And it got to the point where people were like, how do you like Austin? We went Which means you've been there too long. It got to the point where I was seeing you guys more than people who actually work here, like in the Austin studio.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you guys also, that was also the point where the company was like expanding massively and hiring people like crazy. So, so y'all are kicking off Arizona Circle of Production? We are, yeah. We start shooting Wednesday and we will continue until I don't know when.

Until I never know. When it is finished, yes. We start shooting Wednesday and we will continue until I don't know when I never know when it is finished. Yes. It's gonna be like the Don Quixote movie that Terry Gilliam has been trying to make for three decades That's Arizona Circle for us How much is it gonna cost how much is Arizona Circle cost one Rupert employees? I was a yeah one Rupert employee and for me personally probably a kidney It's it's it's like weeks of production you guys are one rooster teeth employee and for me personally, probably a kidney. I love your time. Like weeks of production you guys are going into. Like five weeks. I remember when you guys did the pilot and that already was like,

That was, yeah, the pilot was five days. I think the pilot was five days and we're doing eight episodes. I was like five days. It was a lot for five days. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Well done, well done, well done.

Well now we're doing eight episodes over five weeks. So that math also has 40 days, right? No, no, no, not even close, not even close, but yeah. Yeah, because you don't have the weekends and stuff too. Yeah, we're taking the weekends off. So we're just doing Monday through Friday, I think we're a functional job, except it's going to be from whatever 10 p.m. to, do you think you'll be completely miserable while you're doing it? I don't think so. No, because I love production.

And even though it's like crazy schedules and like you wrap at midnight and you have to be back on set again at like seven, I love that and I don't get to do it that much. Okay. So I have mentally prepared myself to run that marathon and I'm very excited to do it. Do you guys have like a wrap planned, like a wrap party or like a vacation that you're and I'm very excited to do it. Do you guys have a rap plan,

like a rap party or a vacation that you're gonna take afterwards? I mean, there is gonna be a rap party on 420 dog. Yeah! Yeah! California! Jabla! Legal!

But we don't know if we'll be done by that. Just play the party. We have to play in the party, right? You mean you have a second one once you actually finish. Yeah, yeah, a true one. At least and I also haven't taken a vacation a really, really long time. You guys should.

She's been even deeper in this than I have. And so we need a vacation at some point. Please do. Maybe Austin, I hear it's nice. Yeah. You guys can stay at my place. Yeah. People are asking for Benson is he's around.

He was here. And then as soon as the podcast started, he walked off. It went five, four, and then he kind of stepped down off the stage and wandered that in direction. So we have no, he's over that. He might be on the office. How long is the podcast hour and a half hour and a half? So he might be back.

We don't know. He could be dead already. Oh, having some dog sex. Oh, maybe. He still got it. He's neutered, but he's still got the drive. He's doing it, people style. He looks into the other dog.

He's very intimate. He's very intimate. I have moments. If humans hold on, if humans can have dog style sex, dogs should be able to have human style sex. Just missionally. Yeah, they should, right? We just choose not to.

Yeah, kind of dog sling one up from the front. Yeah, I mean, they must. Or is the hold on is the vagina upside down. Right. The vagina is upside down. Well, like not the correct position to your angle. I don't know anything about the bits of dogs. Well, the sort of the angle of the channel

might not suit the wonky dog dick from the other side. The wonky dog dick. Wonky dog dick. This is going to be the title of the episode, Eric. Wonky dog dick. Wonky dog dick. Wonky dog dick. Five minutes in and you already got the title.

You got normal. Happens quick here. Wow. Well, we have come up with the title that we can never use possibly first. Burn, we have come up with a title that we can never use possibly first. Burn it and then come up with a real title. And then the one that YouTube will actually accept. And not demonetize instantly.

Just spell it differently. Stop, fix, do what? D-I-Q. D-I-Q. W-O-N-K-E-E. E-E. There we go. Long-E.

If you had to pick a different animal to have sex like, what would a different animal to have sex, like what it be, to have sex like. I read an awful story on Reddit last week of the week before where this guy says that he was out and he was standing by a pond outside of his work. And he was watching the birds and the wildlife there and that he saw one duck start attacking another one,

like picking at its neck and like really going to town at it. And he's like, you can do it. It's like out in the middle of the lake and he's like, oh, you know, that poor duck, then the duck like one duck grabs the other one, like puts its bill around its neck, gets on top of it and he's like, oh, they're not fighting. They're mating. Well, they're not. And then the like, I guess like they both like submerge under water. He's like, this looks like that one duck is murdering the other duck, and they both pop up, and then they're done. And that's it. You know the story of ducks, right?

Go on. Have you ever seen a duck's dick? Yeah, it's like a corkscrew. It's like a corkscrew. Do you know why it's like a corkscrew? Why? Because the duck's vagina is like a corkscrew. Do you know why a duck's vagina is like a corkscrew?

Because the duck's penis is like a corkscrew. Because ducks know why a duck's vagina is like a corkscrew? Because a duck's penis is like a corkscrew. Because ducks rape. I'm being serious with you. It's like a safety measure. Yes, to make it harder. Because male ducks are so aggressive that they will force themselves on female ducks and the only way to prevent the female duck

from getting pregnant constantly was to evolve this vagina, which is a labyrinth. So the male in suit evolved the penis that can navigate the labyrinth. Does he have to spin around? I was gonna say he does he have to like put around. I don't know, I imagine it's like a balloon filling out inside or whatever, but yeah, that's why.

Isn't all you witnessed duck sexual assault? I don't know. What about me, those are just not ready. It's an all animal sex non-consensual. No, no, no. I don't think so. It's just like a dragonfly will attach itself to a female, scrape out the specimen of other dragonflies and then shoot his own in. That is scary.

I mean, but that's what the head of the penis is though. What's the thing? The head of a penis is just to scrape out all the other DNA. You're in there. Yeah. What's the animal? Is it fish? Is it fish or is it a different animal that like sprays their sperm all over stuff and then like that? That's me. That's me. It's the James. The jame. I think that is fish. Oh, and fish. Yeah. Speaking of mating, I love whenever Port and Hub puts out their weird stats about the things people search for and how do you write it down? I wish I'd written it down.

But apparently on St. Patrick's Day, the search for Irish on Port and Hub goes up like 1400%. It's like, do people theme the porn they watch based on holidays? Is it like celebrating with a jerk? I mean, people. Okay, the increase in searches on St. Patrick's Day on Pornhub, Leprecon goes up 1,238%. St. Patrick's Day goes up 1,048%

but what's St. Patrick's Day porn? Shamrock goes up 811%. And then Irish goes up 429%. Should be Shamcock shamcock Hell yeah, that's what's called. I don't even know what those genres would be though, right? Like who's what is Irish? What is shamrock porn? Are they just looking for like redheads with but then you do redheads if it's Irish porn it must involve potatoes right The potatoes not on the list.

It must be like a subcategory. Is there anything less sexy than the potato famine? I never thought you were going to say that. Off the top of my head, no. I'm going to go no. Can you look up? Can you do? Can you go on your little laptop right now?

What do you want to look up? I know you don't need to. Well, just search Irish in Pornhub. All right. Just see what comes up. I'm just curious other than Irish part one. Okay. Yeah, but that could be anyone.

Lucky Irish hottie. Oh, she's naked. Stay pounding. That's a classic. Oh yeah. Okay. Nothing says happy, single, demilibeder than a blonde Irish teen. What? That's just combining all their holidays. That's just search engine optimization. That's how they get all the deal. Yeah, they just tag everything. You got it. You got clothes always. It's like that night memory for Christmas of porn, where it's just you're in the center of the

woods and there's a tree that has every single holiday on it except when you look inside instead of Jack Skellington singing its people talking. Well, I never thought about this at all. I never thought about like single to my own and see Patrick day at the same time but it's like they're both just like ethnic holidays to drink, right? It's just Mayo and C. Patrick's Day at the same time. But it's like they're both just like ethnic holidays to drink, right? It's just like, oh, let's celebrate the Irish by drinking. Yeah, let's celebrate Mexico by drinking. Yeah. I mean, fourth of July is kind of let's celebrate America by drinking and fireworks. And fireworks. Yeah, I don't think there's fireworks on St. Patrick's Day or

Cinco de Mayo. But do you wonder? Maybe on the fireworks are accidental. Like, it was just at at first it was like, let's just get together and drink. And then because that was the initial thrust of the statement, ultimately fireworks happened. I never thought of it that way. Good night. Well, every time.

But you can't, we'll Google it. Those people recorded fireworks on their phones got to put it somewhere, right? When I uploaded to Porto. That's true. You can't get fireworks all the time though. Right? Like, you can, I don't know what it's like in California,

but here you can only open up for like, Fourth of July and like around Christmas New Year. I mean, you feel like, can you not order fireworks off Amazon? Oh, I don't think so. There's online in general. Cause that's like explosives. Well, there's like classifications of fireworks.

There's like sparklers, which I think you can get basically anywhere. Yeah in any state Kids birthday party, but then anything that is a projectile into the air I think is a different classification. There is someone getting a blowjob with fireworks in the background. Oh, that's cool Catch the fireworks on New Year's in style. Hey America new year chance to start over America, New Year, chance to start over. Oh, God, do you think they're giving the blow job before the year ends or as soon as the year begins? They got to do both, right? You got to like start one and then cross over. Yeah, that's the thing that connects the two years. A blow job that crossed years.

Yeah, you'd have to swallow a load from the year before. That's another one, a blow job that crossed years. There you go. I was developing this boner in 2018, and you completed it in 2019. I thought you were just telling a story. Oh, it's like a visit. Oh man, so the other thing, like everyone's talking about this college admission scandal, did a a nice segue there, you see that?

That was... The thing I don't get is, haven't, doesn't everyone already acknowledged that rich people just pay colleges to get their kids in? Like, isn't that already a thing you joke about for? Like the Simpsons have made jokes about it for 20 or 30 years now. But wasn't they were paying, like,

it wasn't they were paying the colleges to get their kids and they were paying like, that's why it's a scandal. Are we okay with rich people paying colleges? Well, no, but the colleges were okay with getting, the college getting paid. I think that was just like a universally accepted, not accepted, but like.

How do you even set those prices? Like, is that like an unofficial list of prices that you've had? From the university? Yeah. Yeah, they actually have it on a secret website. Yeah, if you get a building, then you get legacy. So like a building means that generations of your family, your son and his son, son, all can go there.

Codders. But if you just make a donation, then it's only good for the moving go to college now. Just run it out there. Some of us. Yeah, but they earn their way. Nice one, James. Nice save.

You guys can clap, Sue. No, you did it. You saved it. You pulled it back. But then I think a smaller like $50,000. Well, $50,000. Nothing. It's not that I'm wishing.

So half a million is only going to get your son or daughter into the school. Yeah. So what was it? They were paying people to lie to the college, like a dude in Newport Beach. Yeah. A guy? Saying they were athletic or qualified for the team. Yeah, he would connect them with coaches at different universities who would say that

they were prospects for the university team. And they would like Photoshopped the kids, like playing the sports and the stock images to make it look like they were good. And then of course these kids never played anything. One of them was the tennis coach here at UT in Austin. Oh, oh my God. What does it say about your program,

like your sports program that you can just lie and bring in whoever, you know, it doesn't matter. Right. The Photoshop didn't know and knows. There, the thing though. It's not really the skin tones of different color. I had a hard time believing that the kids didn't know, but apparently a lot of them did not.

I think so, I'm did though, because like in some cases, like they had someone else take the SAT for them, and it's just like some random person shows up to take a standard like test bench. You wanna come over here? Come on, come here, come here. Yes! Come on, Benning, here he is.

Come up. So you're talking about the college admission scandal, Benning shows up. He didn't have the grades. He's my favorite. Come on. How do you do it, Obedient School? Do you not cut it?

Did you, okay, I'll say. He passed, but he was like, You paid for it. For when he went to school. So he was like one of those old people that go to college. It was like old stories. Yeah. And so he was, he was pretty old when he went.

Everyone else is a puppy, but he actually passed. He's a good job. He forgot it. Oh, no. No, he's good. I got him to sit up on the chair, which is pretty impressive. Looked like Bernie for a little bit. I was actually talking about Bernie.

I got Bernie to sit in the chair for a little bit. He's okay. He just doesn't, he's, he's actually very smart because he doesn't want to do the thing. He knows that you're telling him to sit and he knows what sit means. He just doesn't want to and he so he refuses. How was he in the car? He slept. He had an amazing trip. He had a wonderful, fantastic trip that I was entirely envious of. I love sleeping in cars. Me too. Like I love the tour bus. Must be nice. I'll do it. I dream of that tour bus.

I was so excited. Every time I would go back to the bus. I would just like people would hang out play games like drinking stuff. I would just go straight to bed and it was the happiest of a bit. You would tell me how like I had like a gentle ride. Was there a seat built on it like when you laid down in the bed? No, the only rule was, and I remember this, the only rule was you had to sleep with your feet towards the front of the bus. Yeah, so that way.

So you don't snap your neck in a, with a stop short, you don't snap your neck. But everyone did it. Was it really a stop short? That's right. So like if you stop a short, would your knees hit the bunk on top of you? No, I mean, if you stop short, you'd probably just slide a little bit and then your feet would catch you and then you wouldn't wake up because you're so at peace. But it was wonderful.

We had our own DVD players in there too. There was like a week. You didn't find the DVD. At least, at least found Frida. She brought a bunch of road DVDs, but she found someone left a copy of Frida on the bus, and I snatched it, and then I watched it over the course of several hours on the bus.

It was wonderful. Best time ever. I thought there was an argument between, like half the people love the bus and sleeping on the bus, and the other half fucking. I think off to the first night in the bus, Ryan was immediately looking for hotels. Really? And like gonna drive it. That was like, why? night in the bus, Ryan was immediately looking for hotels. And like gonna drive it.

That's like why? I love the bus. No sense of adventure there. I could understand not it not being for everybody. It's very much like getting back in the womb. It's pitch black. You're in a small space and you just kind of have constant motion and ambient noise. If the womb you're in smells like Bruce's anus,

then it would be actually quite correct. Which is because he was dropping some serious film. Did you have to make Bruce take the lower bunk? The thoughts go up. Wouldn't it? Don't part you go down? I don't know how far. Do thoughts full?

It's title. How about do Farts float? They must be dancing, right? I would think they would go up. They come up through war. You imagine if you just fought it in the bath and it sank. You're like, man, what's going on? You don't ever know.

What is it about shower, fart, and bath, that smell worse than normal farts? I think they're concentrated. I think because a normal fart just kind of mixes with the air. It's like a space. But when it's contained in a bubble, and the bubble rises and pops, that's all of it. So that's like a grenade. It's like a grenade.

Yeah, that's like a grenade going up. Farts are mostly nitrogen. And nitrogen is only slightly lighter than air. And it readily mixes with air at room temperature. So it rises. So it r- barely. Barely. Yeah, that's a red temperature. And then it And then it was bottom bunk. So what temperatures?

Maybe that's not mix. I don't know. Yeah, you're me. I let me finish looking up this Irish porn. Okay. Yeah. I like my work. And then I'll look at the different temperatures. So how many bathrooms were there on the bus? To I remember. Because like, how would you take a dump? We don't just do it on the bus. Well, I mean we Do you make wake up in the middle of the night and take dumps? Every now and then I mean we're only on the bus for we would be on the bus for like a reasonable amount of time that I think I guess

It's only really at night. Yeah, okay or in emergencies I was saying I think someone did take a dump and everyone was pretty upset that they couldn't just wait the extra 45 minutes or whatever until it got the place to stop. It sounds like a Lawrence move. It does sound like a Lawrence move, but I don't know that it was. Sometimes you can't hold it. Sometimes you got to go. Maybe you'll at least know she would be mortified.

She would hang rather hang her ass out the window and take a dump onto the highway, lest anyone know that she took a dump on that bus. So. I remember talking about it when we were in New Zealand, on that 14 person group trip we went on. The last one mattress is on the floor. That was great.

Yeah. But I remember her talking about like, I need to take a dump. I don't know which bathroom to go Yeah, men because I weren't as many as we needed. Yeah last year I was in after RTX Sydney I went to New Zealand speaking to a scene of dumping stories in New Zealand and I I we went my yesterday and I went to a grocery store because we were staying in Airbnb and we thought oh, well, by some groceries, and we can cook and make stuff in the Airbnb. And the first day we got there, we didn't have very much time.

So it's like, oh, look, they have a meat pie, like a beef pie or whatever. It was like, I can just take this and I'll heat it up in the oven at the Airbnb, and I'll eat that. I'll heat it up, and remember, I took a bite, and I was like, it tastes a little funny, but I paid like five bucks for this.

I'm gonna eat it. Eight the whole thing, everything was fine, went to bed, then like at four in the morning, I woke up and everything was not fine. It was like, That's the situation on the bus where so many sews were asked me out. It was like, I need to run and it was,

What was that you said? It was in New Zealand. New Zealand. Yeah. I don't know if you experienced this because we only went to New Zealand at one time. It's the only time I've ever been there. But we were starving for food.

And the only thing that we could find online that we could order from was pizza hut. But we ordered like two large pizzas because it was you me, Elise, Miles, Blaine. I think one other person, it might have just been that good. You only ordered two pizzas. Two pizzas, like full, like large pizzas. Sounds like not enough.

Wow. Apparently a large from the New Zealand pizza was a like our version of a single person, like one of those like small. Really? Yeah. Personal pan pizzas. So we got two of those and then like,

we also ordered like a marinara sauce or what we thought was marinara sauce. It was just ketchup. Oh yeah, it was ketchup. It's just really depressing because I think it was tomato sauce. Wasn't it like tomato sauce and we're like, oh, little summed up dip or crushed in, but they ended up being ketchup and they were also really confused that we would want ketchup with our pizza.

Yeah. We didn't. That seems like a them problem though, right? If you crush up tomatoes and then you cover this dough with it. Yeah. And then someone's like, I want more crushed tomatoes. Why would you think ketchup? Well, you said tomato sauce.

Yeah, I know, but still, why would you... You didn't say pizza sauce. That's, I guess, but what do they think the pizza sauce comes from? Yeah, tomato sauce. Peats, they crush up pizzas and then smear that on other pizzas. I do remember being very confused though, because when we did finish the order it was like 15 bucks. Yeah, everything and I was like this is really cheap Too large pieces for 15

So do you have to ration this tiny pizza? Face and order more No, because I think it was closing. Where's like I Where's like, I think it was like late, right? Wasn't it like a race against time this is the last place? I think it was like maybe nine o'clock or 8.30. So it wasn't that late, but I don't know of like the arrow you were staying in

didn't have very many options. Was it that large was just their terminology for a smaller size pizza or that where horrible and from America where large is something that no human should ever eat. I would like to think the first one. But it may have been the second one. But it may have been the second one.

But I also don't know what realm like that's personal pan pizza size would feed. Yeah. It would be considered a large. Who was the most angry? Who was the Hungryist? I think Blaine probably. Probably Blaine.

Yeah. Because it's like when you order pizza and you Blaine probably. Probably Blaine. Yeah. Because it's like when you order pizza and you're hungry, it's like exciting. Yeah, we've got pizza coming and then it shows up and it's like. Yeah. I picture like in back to the future too, where they order the pizza and they get like, they get the little things they have to put in the food, rehydrator.

Oh yeah, yeah. Like, what gets all big against it? We have no dehydrator. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Years ago, we were in the Congress office downtown Austin. It's direct when we first started doing shorts and we were working late. We had one of those long days that you talked about where it was getting really late.

I don't know why. I think almost everyone was filming and Joel had just stepped off camera. He said, okay, Joel, while we're filming this scene, can you order some pizza for us so that we can all eat while we're... I already know this is gonna end up that. While we're filming, he's like, yeah, sure, he'll take care of it. So, and, you know, we keep filming, that like, 35 minutes later, Domino shows up with a single medium thin crust pizza,

which is like this big, maybe? Yeah. And there's like, seven of us. And it's thin crust. Right. And there's like seven of us. And it's thin crust. Right. It's just like the less than pizza. Also, it's a medium. Yeah.

You're like, oh, okay. I was like, you're so, you're so, you're just so defeated. You're like, all right, let's divide it. And then like everyone takes their little sliver and they're just eating their like. Yeah. This is all I mean.

Great. Was that an issue? Do you ever ask him about that? Was that an issue of you? Was like, if I order it, I need. Great. Was that an issue? Do you ever ask him about that? Was that an issue of you? Was like, if I order it, I have to pay. So I'm going to only pay to the limit. I don't think we ever talked about it. It was just like, okay, someone else will do it from now on.

Okay, yeah. It's like that thing where if someone asked you to do something and you do a bad enough job, you don't even have to do it again. Mm-hmm. Yep. That's what's still happening. That's life philosophy.

I should start doing that. You should. Start fucking up. Maybe's what life philosophy should start doing that. You should start fucking up. Maybe you already have been. Oh my god. Isn't that what you did with ATX? Huh. Oh fuck you. Hey, it's been a wait.

ATX is this summer July 27th. Hey. One house will be there. I will. Just announce. I was fingers crossed. Please. It's been a while.

It's been a year. Let this minute, wait a minute, it happened. Let this be the year where I get to go. Well, I had someone tweet at me recently. They were talking about, I think I don't remember, it was the first or second RTX that you guys went to, where I guess like a former Guardian sent me a story where they said it was their first time being a Guardian and they were really nervous.

Something had happened with the booth we had set up for you guys and we needed to get some more TVs for it. Like the TVs didn't show up or lost. And so we had called for a PA with a car. And he showed up and I gave him my company credit card. I was like, go to Best Buy, buy four TVs and come back. We had way too much trusted people back then. I gave him the fucking company card.

I was like, go buy television. Make sure that this size. You're a Gus. You said that he was so nervous. Like he fucking company card. I was like, go buy television. Yeah. Make sure that this size. You're a Gus. Yeah. You said that he was so nervous. Like he had the card. He was picking up all this stuff. And it was like, it was really a lot to ask him.

And I'm really glad that. It was like his first, yeah, it was the first time being a guardian and everything like that. He's just like, it meant so much that you trusted me, but I was so, so nervous. I think it's really funny. Like when you're in that moment, like when you're doing the planning and it's like, everything's going on,

you're like, someone has to do this. Yeah. It just has moment, like when you're doing the planning and it's like, everything's going on, you're like, someone has to do this, it just has to get done. I don't give a fuck, take my card, take my child, like just do it. Nothing now, it's like, it's a little easier now with like Amazon Prime now, or just like, oh yeah, I just ordered four TVs that are gonna show up because of Amazon.

Yeah. I can't imagine a scenario where those TVs were absolutely necessary either. You're like stressing out about it. It feels like it needs to get done in the moment. It was like two hours before the doors opened, too, if I remember right. It was like right before. What was the year where, like, it was probably an hour before we were opening the doors on Friday, and like, none of the Xboxes had the proper thing down. Oh, none of the computers had like the proper update on them. So Adam Baird had to update all the computers, and it oh, none of the computers had like the proper update on them.

So Adam Baird had to update all the computers, and it was like 50 of them. Yeah, that's like every year, it's like some last week and like, oh, nothing works. Help. Yeah, let's fix it. Anyway, it's a great show. Come and hang out.

So it's like, it's a good time. No, it's really, it's really fun. We're doing like the podcast festival this time, which is gonna be really cool. Animation festival again. Animation festival. And... No, what's going on.

Fun house. They're gonna be there. We will be there. I don't know what we're gonna be doing. Yeah, maybe the fun house festival. It's just a ball pit. It's a ball pit and police tape. We did talk about having like exhibits

for all the failed conventions, like a fire festival area. Hold on, failed. And dash con. The dash con ball pit. Yeah. That's awesome. You should do that.

So nobody, nobody remembers anything else about dash con. Oh, that stupid ball pit. Yeah. We could do Tana Con. Tana Con. We can make everyone stand in the parking lot. Which parking lot? Okay. So you guys are like doing are doing really inside baseball convention talk.

You're discussing all these. I know Fire Festival. I think I've kind of heard of Dashcon. I have no idea what the third one you've heard. TanaCon, you didn't hear what that one? TanaCon, she's a YouTuber named Tana. Banana? No. No, that's not it. What is it? Tana Mungu. Okay. it? No, that's not it.

What is it? Tana Mungu. Okay. Mungu, I said that right. So she had her, this one, you'd say- Tana Mungu's. Yeah. Yeah, had her own convention.

But she did it at the same week, or during the same weekend as VidCon because apparently she was not invited by VidCon. And I think tickets were either free or very cheap. They were free. They're free. But there's like a VIP level that people have to pay for. But like 5,000 people showed up to this hotel where I think they could maybe fit like 200 people

in the room that they had. That's a good problem to have though. And in summer, so then everyone had to stand out and line in the parking lot. Yeah. But I thought you were gonna say that this Rando YouTuber wanted to have a convention that's all about them. And it was just like people standing in a parking lot, but there were so many people.

Oh, yeah. That, so I mean, that's impressive. I think that's I think good for her. That's not the way I thought that story was gonna go. Nice to see us a lot of fans and stuff and stuff. Yeah, nice ego boost, but they are no happy. Well, it was like $60, card in a Peter haze. What was the one that Fussi tube did?

Fussi con. Was that what it was? I think it was. I'm making that up, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was actually called. Just say that. They said Drake was gonna be the... There was a, yeah, Fussi con.

There's a local car show. They think they're deflunk now. I don't think it's happening this year. They would call it the Donk contest And it was for like low riders and like cars with hydraulics and stuff They they they've had a very up and down history But one of the people who organized it had a posting the Austin subrated a couple weeks ago There was like guys I'm really sorry to say I'm not gonna have a donk contest this year

We got scammed out of two hundred thousand dollars like we lost all of our funding Apparently they had hired some guy who said that he could get I forget who it was you could get like some big names from like some big Rappers to come the guy who did The guy who said he could get the rappers to come in for form, he just bought cameos from them saying like, Hey, I'll see you in Austin. Whatever the date is. And it was like, look, see here, I've got the rapper here saying that he's going to be at your event. So they gave the guy like $200,000. And he just like split. He's gone. It's a good way to make your money back from Cameo.

Yeah, they got probably paid for it. Like a couple hundred bucks in Cameo and made up with all that money. That's fucking awful. Yeah. Some people charged a ton of money for those Cameo videos. It's funny that you guys are mentioning that because I was just looking at that website today

for the first time. I've never heard of it before. Do you get, I feel like they've sent me 1900 emails to join Cameo. What are you doing? They're trying to recruit you for Camille. How much would you charge for Camille? I would feel bad charging anything.

I was gonna say, yeah, 50 cents. Is there Bruce on there? I think Bruce is on there. I mean, it's great. Well, Bruce is great. No, there's a couple people we know on there. I believe Aaron Zach is on there, plays Blake and Ruby.

How much are hers? I don't, I didn't look. But I did look at the guy who plays Stanley from the office because I was like, huh, this would actually be like a really fun one to get. He tried just $300. I think, I think is, I try and get past, when you see celebrities doing things like that,

you wanna feel bad for them, you're like, why would they need to do that? But I think it's fine. It's their choice, right? If they want to do that and they probably don't expect people, but they're like, hey, if they do, I'll go out to dinner. I feel like that's the thought process. I think plus I think it's, but they might just be fun for them.

Yeah. Someone wants to make a video. Josh Flanagan for Christmas got Elise and I cameos. And we got a cameo from Jake the Snake Roberts, the professional wrestler. Oh! And it was perfect. It was one of the best gifts I think I've ever gotten.

Okay. Because it's one is Jake the Snake Roberts, two, it was filmed, tortured, but this way. So you have to turn your head to look at it. And it's clear that Josh gave him, like, talking, like, these are our names we live in California, but then also, he just started talking about Josh a lot too. He just started, like, riffing on it.

Do you think that was the note that Josh gave them too? Maybe. I mean, maybe. I think he was just like, this, all I have is whatever you fill out on that form profile on Cameo to go on, which is these names, their location, and the other guy that bought it and his billing information. So he's like, he's like, just wanted to say, there's Bruce. This is what I say. Josh, you know, Josh loves you guys, have great time in California. By the way, Josh's zip code is this. I guess that's like, but it was like, I was like, this is amazing.

This is the perfect gift. And I actually really enjoyed it. And I don't feel bad for Jake the Snake Roberts for doing it or anyone else on it. I'm gonna be great. I think it's fun. I wanna order one from Bruce. You should.

I know, I should too. You should do it. You know, five-star rating. Look at that. Yeah, because he fucking delivers like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it't put anything, you'll get bruised without a shirt. That's the way it should be. I feel like those should be more expensive. You think, but no. I think I saw that Caitlyn Jenner was a thousand dollars. Oh, really? Yeah, who is the most expensive camera? I mean, I saw Stormy Daniels is on there. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. and I think she was like a couple hundred bucks. You can't sort my price. I do think I could pay her to tell me that my dick looks like toad. I found it pride-blowing.

You're Caitlin Jenner is the most expensive at $1,000. The second most expensive is Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank. $999. What? Judge? One of the sharks. Yeah, he's like one of the people who invests and people. Shark Tank $999. What? Judge on Shark Tank? One of the sharks. Yeah, he's like one of the people who invests in people.

Should be behind that. That's how he gets his phone. Then right behind that, it's all like sports people. Brian Erlocker, Brett Faw, Antonio Brown, Terrell Davis. See, there's just, go, kinds of classy people up there. Bill Xane. Bill Xane is the highest actor on this list at $500. Bill Xane.

So that's a steal. That's a steal from Billy Zane. He was in Titanic. Can I tell you a story about Billy Zane? Do you want to hear a story about what he's doing? Gilbert God for your $150. That's not that expensive. That's a great amount of money.

I know I'm getting you for Christmas. Please. When the Aladdin movie comes out, the new one, we should just get him to say what Yaga should have said in the movie. And then just pay for as many cameos as we need to fill all the version of that film. But you were going to say my Billy Zane story. I follow Billy Zane on Twitter.

I love Billy Zane. I'm with a Mizzaniac. Oh, it was. And he a while ago was selling because he's an artist, as anyone who draws, I guess, can call themselves, but he's an artist. And he sells his art, and he was doing for charity. You can send him a photo, and he'll do a sketch of the photo. So I sent him a photo of Alesson Benson.

And it's a goofy photo of Benson, a good photo of Aless. But I sent it to him, and then he cost like $200. But he sent it back. The only thing was the invoice number on it was like 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4. And I think maybe it was random. Maybe it was just random. But there's also a chance I was the fourth person to do it that I jumped on it so fast.

So I don't know. It also came from like three blocks from my house. We're like, I guess. You got a studio right around the corner from you. Like either he or his assistant don't live too far from me. I feel like you should order another one and see what the number is up to. I don't even know if he's doing it.

It was like for a period in time, he was like, oh, I'll be doing this because he's so busy. Yeah, Billy's doing it real business. Of course. But $500 for a custom video. You can get on that. I should get him to do a video

for Jake the Snake Roberts. That would be incredible. Yeah, St. Cameo's to Cameo people. But all he can talk about is Josh. Like, do you think you still remember the zip code? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. I want to read that thing over there. When I'm on this episode, the Rusey podcast is brought to you by Squarespace,

So I don't get it. Well, how should I start this? So Beto Rork announced he's running for a president. Yes. And then there was that story that came out like the day after he announced that he was in a hacking group in the late 90s, early 2000. He was in a hacking group called Cult of the Dead Cow. And I don't know how much you guys were into that back then, but they made this exploit

utility back in the late 90s called Back Orifice that it was, you could run it and force it to install on people's computers and remotely take control of their computers. It was like it was I was super terrified of this program back in like a 1998 1999. And it's so weird now to think that someone who was in that group has announced that they're running for president. Yeah, because you are aware of it at the time. Yeah, it was like something that I worried about. When when Beto was running for Senate, there were a lot of like anti-Betto ads, but each one seemed to like make him cooler. Yeah.

Like like he didn't skateboards. You know, like all kinds of stuff like that. Like things that most people would deem cool, but they came. They were like kind, do you think that this was like someone was holding onto this and they're like, oh yeah, if he even thinks of running for president, I'm going to drop this bomb shell. And then they did. And then you were like, oh, that's so cool. Damn it. That's awesome. You know, I was on the fence, but now

I think I'm all in. Well, it's just strange like we, you know, there's I feel like so many people who regulate the internet who regulate technology have no idea how it works. It's like they'll, they just, like, why are these people in charge of it? And you can have someone who had a, like, really deeply understood

that if they were involved with this group, you know, whether that's good or bad, at least they understand the technology, you know, I don't know what outweighs the other. He's still gonna use an iPhone that has the password like 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 though. Cause everyone thinks they're invincible. That's how they get you.

Yeah, that's how they get you. The funny thing to me is when people have, you know, on Android, they have like the gesture swipe to unlock and you see like a greasy, oily screen with like the number four outline is like, well, I know what you're fucking code to unlock your phone is. Watch your hands.

Yeah, watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands.

Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands.

Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands.

Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands. Watch your hands be Beto watch out for your back end orifice or whatever was a co-op orifice. Back orifice. Back orifice. This is just gonna hack everything. You hack the planet. Hack the voting machines.

Why am I already even you spin? I went downtown last week and I went to a lawyer and got a will because I figured I should have a will. That's cool. And then I got really nervous about traveling with my will like I was in a Nuba and I was like I have a diet a car crash with my will on me. Oh, I like nobody will But then you have it. Yeah, I think that's the perfect way to die I think I just felt like I was more likely to die cuz I had my will and just like the irony of the universe. Yeah

I don't want us to go looking for it. It's like oh Yeah, the only thing that didn't burn up in this car crash. Line one on the wheel. If in a car crash in the back of a cab on South Lomar, please don't resuscitate. Please order me one cameo. What are you leaving me? Soda all actually.

That's nice. That's a gift that keeps on giving. All of his side. So maybe I should have something like just go through all of my stuff. And if any of it happens to be Jewish, you get it. Wow.

What is happening? Exactly. I really look forward to getting your menorah. Thank you. So how long do I take to put a willy? I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I mean, it was in two sessions. Like, when I talked about it and they were up and I was saying, I'm thinking about doing

the same thing. Why don't you do my thing? Why do you decide to do it in person versus like a website where you can go like download one? Is it more personal? I didn't know. No, I just, just Googled it, found one in Austin. That's fine.

And then you have like a professional person who's like gonna look through everything. And what makes you miss anything? You have to give a ton of information. And I guess I just feel less good about something that into a form. Like all of my relatives addresses and phone numbers and stuff.

That makes sense. Probably just give that to them. Oh, you're gonna give it to people. Oh, yeah. Oh, see, my will is just throw it on a furnace. So I don't need to give anyone else's information. Can you do that in a will? Just be like burn all of my stuff and give away all my money.

I mean, I mean, they would have to do that right as long as you pay for it. They could have all your money. Yeah, I mean, if you factor in enough money to pay for the furnace and the burning, then they have to burn the rest. Exactly. Legally. You should say like, burn it with you. You want to be cremated with all your stuff.

Yeah, then take the furnace and burn that in another furnace as well. I want to be burned with my furnace Because James do hand want to be shot in the space Remember yeah, and that was in his was and they had to do it like what we got to figure this out someone I put our best people on it Who said that was so long it was like on a space shuttle right like that's how long ago I like so yeah, yeah, so ask me a really interesting question the other day It was if you were cremated and your ashes were turned into like a a vinyl of one song like a single

Yeah, what song would you choose who let the dogs out? Oh Annoying eternally terrible so on brand for you I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be something really obnoxious. Who let the dogs out or the element fail like party rock them? That's a great one. Damn, I went legit when I answered it. I said, here comes the son by the Beatles. Okay.

I know. Yeah, maybe like, I for 65 or something. Blue. I'm blue. I know. Yeah, maybe like, uh, I full 65 or something blue. I'm blue. In fact, I'll be hands 97 saying country roads. Mm hmm.

And of course, uh, who's this wolf's kid 17 saying to root sandstorm? That's good too. I just like to hear that on vinyl. The way it was intended. Yeah, listen to why have any of you said never going to give you up? I feel like that's like the most classic annoying song. It's not too much. It has to be labeled here comes the sun

and then it'll play it. It's never gonna give you up. Very true. Rick rolled by a corpse. Yeah. Is it a corpse if you're vinyl? Not really, is it? No.

Like your ashes on corpse. No. No. No, I think corpse only signifies like an actual body. Is it a body? Can you turn ashes into a vinyl? Or is it just like a. No. No. I think corpse only signifies like an actual body. Can you turn ashes into a vinyl? Or is it just like a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just mix it in with whatever it is. Whatever it is. I don't know. You can do anything with ashes. I want to be turned into an MP3. You can do anything with ashes. You just see an iPod shell. You want to be turned into the file.

You mean like a file you want to be turned into the file Have you ever thought about how much space your person would take up like digitally? Like file? How many gigs and probably megs for most of us? Well, I mean, I've seen like some people try to break it down right. Like if you assume like DNA has like so many bites of data. Yeah. What is it like that?

Seem like ejaculate. Go on. Totally would contain I think like 38 megabytes of data. Sorry, are you kidding me? Yeah. Let me look it up. E-check, you lit. File sign.

Hey, Megs, is that with compression? No, it's on this one. She has a wind rod. One, oh no, take it back. One sperm has 37.5 megabytes of DNA information. So I'm low. I'm below. Yeah.

You better buy yourself a big old hard drive. You want to get a James Wombs on it. Yeah, did we want that out once like any sperm or at an average load? Yeah, we did. I don't remember. You can look it up if you're watching this. I'm sure.

Just go back to the archive. We've had this conversation once before. So then you could extrapolate. Yeah, yeah. You figure out how much, how many DNA strands are in the body. And then do the math. Way my balls.

There's the title. Oh, man. So I was, I was reading this article earlier. I don't know how much y'all keep up with this, but there's this stupid law that's going to go into effect next year where electric cars have to make electric cars or sign, right? They don't have an engine. So they're going to have this law go into effect where below certain speeds, electric cars have to make a sound. So that pedestrian's here, them coming. That's stupid. Yeah. And I think in Europe, it's like below 12 miles an hour and or whatever the fucking kilometer equivalent is. And in the US, it's like at speeds below 18.6 miles an hour.

I don't know why they chose that. So- Tessless don't make any noise. They don't currently, but they're going to have to. To comply with the law. So some car manufacturers have started putting out samples of the sounds that they're going to have their cars make and they all sound fucking terrible.

And- To a Sans-O? No to a Sans-O. But Mercedes-Benz said they're working of their cars make and they all sound fucking terrible. And- And Sansa? No different Sansa. But Mercedes-Benz said they're working with Lincoln Park to develop the sound that Mercedes-Benz cars will make at low speeds. Lincoln Park. I was like,

they bought it from Cameo. It's just gonna be like the Transformers sound like the doodoo doodoo doodoo. Working with Lincoln. What? It's such a weird choice. Like if they were like Johnny Greenwood I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm they are. This is like a city on, I think. You mentioned nine of those getting the streets out of the nightmare. That's terrible. That'll be annoying as fuck. Super annoying. You got, what? That's horrible.

Got another one? This is the Nissan Leaf. Sounds like the wind. You're just gonna think it's blowing, windy outside. Or so it's whizzling. That sounds like an electric car. This is the wind. Like a train.

Okay. I hate it. There's, so this is the future. This is the future we This is the Chevy volt that sounds like a like a spaceship. Yeah, yeah coming towards it What huh, I think this is the Harley Davidson motorcycle I'm going away by this because it's only gonna it's to be such a short term law because when everything's electric and people are used to it, it's going to be like bicycles, you don't have to make a noise in the bike.

Right now we imagine, not even like all these sounds sound terrible, but imagine the cacophony you're going to hear when it's all these different sounds all playing at the same time on a residential street. It needs to be universal noise. Right. One noise. Or just why not make it sound just like a fucking car engine? I was okay with the spaceship. Yeah, the spaceship was fine.

Apparently my dad messaged, because they have an electric car in Canada, and it makes a noise, because it's the law up there. So I guess the US is just further behind in that. But yeah, I didn't mind the spaceship one. People's cats and people in chat are saying their cats and dogs are freaking out at that Harley one.

Yeah, well, I get motorcycles. I do get motorcycles because Lawrence has an electric motorcycle and you can't hear a damn thing. Yeah. And it's annoying as that really loud guy revving his Harley as he flies by is. You know, he's there. You do know he's there. Especially in California where lane splitting is legal.

Oh shit, yeah. It's like you got here. That does make sense. And I could see there being a world where you buy an aftermarket thing for your motorcycle. Yeah. Just so that way to make sure that car doesn't clip you and you can at least broadcast that you're on your way.

But I don't know. It's just, that seems maybe a little unnecessary. So is that, is that gonna end up in movies? What a cause driving? I think I tweeted about this a couple of weeks ago that how unsatisfying car chase movies are gonna sound when it's like electric vehicles chasing each other. Like you hear about, I think it was watching mission

and possible fallout again. It's like, you hear like the car when the motorcycle's revving. So imagine if they were electric and it's just like, so like nothing. My favorite movie is Gatica. I don't know why, it just is. It's a good movie.

But they have a like not too distant future where all the cars are implied to be electric. They like plug them in and everything. And they all have this sound, which is like a like a like high voltage whirl-wurring kind of thing. And they all kind of sound that. And that's what we need,

because it's just like, it's like this pure electric sound, and I think it still gives off the sense that something's coming or whatever, but it's not jarring, and it's like low decibel, and there's not a resonance to it. I think that's what you want.

That was something from the Jetsons or something. Yeah. Worry. Maybe the Jetsons vehicles don't make noises naturally. Maybe that's a law system. Maybe it's just a law in the future that they had to acquire those things to their thrusts. Yeah.

You don't know? You don't know. You can't ask George, he's dead. We've already, or he's not born yet. He's not born yet. Yeah, he's good as dead. But you're as Jetsons, like like what, like did it take far off? It's future of 1997.

I bet it's like 2015 or something. Yeah. I'm gonna have a look it up, Jetsons. I always like the idea of someone in 1973 going, what do I think the world's gonna be like in 20 years? Floating buildings. Yeah. The Jetsons are set in 2062. Floating buildings. Yeah.

The Jetsons are set in 2062. So yeah, okay. We better start building. Yeah, some time. We have to destroy the earth first because that's what they don't tell you. The reason they're so high up is that the Flintstones live on the ground, right? Like it's all the prehistoric people live on the ground

and then all the future people live up in the sky. Yeah, but then you'd see the base of those buildings, right? But then that, no, they're all floating. That's why you get like the Flintstones, Flintstones, jets, and crossovers. And it's not, it's not even that it's the Stone Age. It's that those buildings suck the resources out of the ground. All the nutrients are sucked through the base of their high-rise towers that they basically live in the Stone Age. It's getting really hard. It doesn't explain the dinosaurs very much. The genetic splicing.

It was a Jurassic Park that escaped off the island. What you did blockbuster start or like come into existence. Looking it up now, let's see. Because that turnaround in terms of something existing to fulfill a need to now, it being completely obsolete. Wow, 1985. Yeah.

Like 20 years. And there's one left. Yeah, they peaked. It looks like in 2004 with 9,094 stores. This gravy changed, never drying. Man, I went and I saw Captain Marvel in the theater. And you know, like there's, it's not a spoiler. It's in the trailer, but there's that scene where it's like she falls out of the sky and we'll blockbuster. Like, you know, she falls out of the sky. So the scene's in the trailer. You know it's coming. The camera pans down, you see a blockbuster.

Everyone in the theater, I was in started laughing. I was like, why is everyone laughing at this? Because the blockbuster? Yeah, I did. That was funny. The whole movie. For me was all of the jokes that were in the trailer. Everyone got a huge, the old woman getting punched.

Yeah. It's been in every promotional. And I'm like, either you guys have somehow managed to just, what's this Captain Marvel? Like, what is this thing? I saw a poster or was it was driving down the highway, but I just thought I'd see it on opening night. Mm, what can you do?

Like, or they just, I am so envious of people that can have that ruin for them in the trailer and then still laugh at it. Yeah, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen the trailer. Well, maybe you'll have a big laugh. It's hilarious. I like how many times in that movie

they need to remind you that this is the 90s. It's like all the music, which I didn't mind because the 90s were like my favorite. Except that whole song doesn't come out until 98. So my voice. Yeah, but it takes place in 95. Oh, true, true. So, explain that Captain Marvel.

In my theater, no one laughed at those things, but they did applaud at the opening with the Stanley. Oh, yeah. A thing that they did, which is really nice. That's like the only time I'm like, okay, I'm fine with people applauding in a movie theater for this, because usually I'm just like, we climb before.

Yeah, they can't hear you. Or if someone who worked on it is sitting in the front row. Yeah, then I'm okay with it too. Okay. Or if it's a screening with the casting crew. Yeah. I was fine with like the 90s music and everything, but I thought there was like one fight sequence where they had like just a girl. Yeah, just a girl. I was like, universally reviled. Everyone I spoke to was like, maybe should have used a different song here. Yeah. Or just had like a the score playing instead or something. Yeah. Yeah, or just had like the score playing in state or something.

Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It was very, it was a little too on the nose. Then movie had some ups and downs for me. Cause like the blockbuster thing is funny, but then spoiler, cover your ears. Oh, actually five, oh no. But then she walks out and then he's, then they make a radio shack joke.

I'm like, that's the same joke twice. I think five minutes. So you can't do that then. Oh well. Yeah. For sure. I want to read this other thing. When I'm mind everyone, this episode of Receive Podcast

I haven't been able to find the article, but someone's telling me about this octopus

that makes it self-ananas when it needs one. What? Go on. Yeah, just like it does have an anus, but it just creates an anus when it needs one. What? Go on. Yeah, just like an octopus doesn't have an anus, but it just like creates an anus and shits out. And then, but I need to like find out why it's like. Well, it doesn't become an anus. I thought you meant like it becomes an anus,

which I did. I'd also. Oh, because it makes itself, and no, yes, do we mean, yeah. This is just a maze of octopus. I think so. OK, so I thought you were describing one specific octopus and I don't think you're in it out. This is Steve the octopus.

Yeah. He makes himself an anus. He takes all the world cup winners. And he can make an anus. Can you find one to wear? Is it coming up? I'm trying to find it. I'm probably what the name is.

So like he just does it when he needs to shit? Yeah. I say he is. And it doesn't have a permanent asshole, which I thought was really cool. That's good for him. If you could just, how do you just make a hole? I think you just like, it must like direct its intestines

and just like push them out. The side of the screen. Maybe it's a different, maybe the hole is a different hole for most of the time. And then when it needs to poop, it just redirects it. It's the most, it most like a train track Pusses

Both are okay, okay, I like to put it up to bodies I think they do they just have like a mouth ain't as to know or is that starfish? I'm gonna be thinking of stuff. I think it's a starfish I just put out of it. What I can tell octopus octopus Octopi has different Anuses and mouse. They sound the same whole. But on octopus, that's also, the anuses also where they squirt ink out of.

But when they squirt ink out of it, it's not an anus. Like they, it's like railroad tracks. They line up the different tracks depending on what that's going on. That is what I just said. I said it's like railroad tracks. I think you guys are talking at the same time. It's okay. I'm a woman. I'm like, you're trying to figure it out. I'm not

the same anybody. I had also a funny thought while you guys are talking about that. I know it doesn't happen, but I was imagining octopus pooping out of there all of their eight tentacles and like blasting off. It's like a shitty Iron Man. Yeah, literally. Literally. Oh, man. So we were talking about electric cars and Tesla unveiled their Model Y last week. I don't know if anybody watches that stuff,

but it's so, I don't know, it's so obnoxious and annoying to watch reveal events like that. Because, you know, first of all, but you have a Tesla. I have a Tesla. It doesn't mean I have to enjoy this experience. Hey, look at that.

Hey, check this is. Oh, Bernie's not here. Yeah. I realized the other, Bernie has his own Emmy nominated Tesla owner, graphic. I realized the other day, I'm also an Emmy nominated Tesla owner. Hey, look at you.

Yeah. Bill and I saved the world. Oh yeah. It was nominated for an Emmy nominated Tesla owner. Hey, look at you. The, the, the, the, the, Bill and I see the world. Oh, yeah. It was nominated for an Emmy and I was on that and I was like, I should get my own graphic. Because he's going to storm in here and demand a new graphic. I'm sad that they revealed that when he wasn't here.

Well, I'm sure someone will send it to him. So the model Y is like, look at the crossover, it's like they took the model so they're even and they've pushed, stretched it. X. So it's the, the kind of like the model and budget is the wrong word, but there's the more reasonably

priced version of the model S. And then this is the more reasonably priced version of the model X. X. Yeah. How much more, do they say how much cost? I think I want to say that model Y starts at 41,000. Okay. I think the expensive version was like 60 grams.

Yeah, and then it goes, it goes up pretty quick. Wasn't that one that was like 35? The Model 3 now has a $35,000 version. Yeah. So it's definitely getting more reasonable. Yeah. Because when the Model 3 was first announced, it's going to be a $35,000 Tesla.

And I was like, cool. And then it actually came out and they're like, we're close to 50. Yeah. It's like, ah, so really? Yeah, the one I got was 59. And it was like the first one that, the, like the first ones that came out. But now they're down to, you know, you get the tax incentives and stuff too.

But that's going away. Yeah. I wonder when you guys are going to be able to customize the sound that it makes when it goes slow. I, I hope no one can ever customize the sound. I hope so as well. Oh, you get that. That would be the frog.

Crazy frog. I mean, if it isn Oh, you get that. That would be the frog. Crazy frog. I mean, if it is a new, crazy frog. Yeah, I remember crazy frog. It's like me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. You remember crazy frog? Can we just play crazy frog? I'm like, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me picture of the form looks familiar. You'll you'll recognize that the second you hear it and then they started releasing music. Yeah, I was under the crazy frog like Axel laughing.

I was crazy frog. I think was as a YouTube channel for a while. Guess. terrible. I would just record myself going, hello, hello, hello. I am backing up. I am backing up. Be beep beep.

Except that's when I'm going. Sorry. It's all music. What a first try to look for. He just it's like the sound of an engine. It was originally a picture of a car. Does that mean I think it was like tried, try not to laugh just into this.

They screamed at the end. Yeah, but then it became crazy frog, which is a gray frog with a helmet on that does this. It was, it was big when ring tones were thing. He had, if crazy Ark has like almost six million YouTube subscribers by the way. Oh, good. Big deal.

Big deal. Hasn't posted a long time though. It's like my favorite YouTube channel, Elophadz. You've ever been to Elophadz? What is that? It's this person who makes like low rent animation using a bunch of Disney characters. So it's like Elsa meets Jack Frost.

And it's like these terribly scripted sequences that someone is making in a low rent. I was just wondering what you're talking about. Yeah. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have.

I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. journey of Olaf Vids for a very long time because when we were at Machinima and we were doing Inside Gaming, we were like struggling to get noticed. And then I guess Olaf Vids was a Machinima partner and was sent out an email, promoted as one of their top channels. And we're like, we're making actual things. It's Olaf Vids, which is just something toddlers are watching in their strollers is getting top billing over us.

Is Olaf a reference to the character from Frozen? Yeah, yeah, because it uses a lot of frozen characters. And it's like Elsa, Mary's, Olaf, Jack Frost. I don't know, like, I don't know, all these weird characters. Clean writer and Anna meet for breakfast and it's all like weird robot and stuff. You're right, that's exactly what it is. But I've been following the volatility of the channel

because he was on the rise for a long time. Everything he put up would do like 10 million views and then he put up one thing and it did like 100,000 and I was like, what happened? What happened with that audience? You know what I'm talking about? 40 million with that audience? Yeah, see which one I bought? 40 million views, 52 million views, 770, 1000. Yeah, what happened?

What Pa-Horovic narrative mistake could he have made in the story of Elsa, Anna, and Flynn Rider? No, no one liked Jelsa S. Ferry, Anna, Esmer, made. See? It was all over after that. How can you deal with an audience so fickle? Is, um, is how too basic still around? Yeah, I think so.

Those videos are really good out of hand. They did, I love them. They went absolutely nuts. Yeah. Who is that guy? Does he, he did a face reveal that was a joke? Uh huh. Once, I remember that.

Do you guys watch a lot of YouTube videos? Or even like online? I do. Yeah, I watch a lot of Max Million, who's a fighting game guy. There's very few channels that I'm like, oh, a new upload. And then I watch. Yeah.

But that's definitely one of the channels that I do. And then I don't know, I do. I actually use the homepage a lot. So it's all related videos. But then it's whatever I was searching for last week, times a thousand. Yeah. You know, I feel like I watched a trending stuff a lot.

I'm gonna watch anything. Yeah. Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, you know, I feel like I watched a trending stuff a lot. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna watch anything. Yeah. Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're like the opposite of Hot ones. And occasionally Rusty Thandamated Adventures. Yeah. Or Ruby has been there a couple times, I think. Mm-hmm. I've been watching a lot of, you know, uh, they really were on the podcast last week. I've been watching a lot of good mythical mornings. Oh yeah. They have such a huge catalog. Yeah. I've missed so much. I've been going back and like trying to watch a bunch of their old back catalog stuff. Those guys are so fucking quick. Yeah, they are. Yeah, I did a slow-mo video with them while they're in town and I'm excited for

my YouTube original to end so I can upload it. Oh yeah. How did a good time making it? What's really nice? What does that get to come out? Probably eight puller me. Nice. It's promise. It's gonna be weird to just edit a video again. I'm done it ages. Can you give me a little preview before it goes up? How slow did you get? We went.

So slow. Thousand frames a second. What'd you guys film? Are you gonna talk about it or are you gonna wait? I'll just tell you after. Okay. Cool. Yeah, it was weird having them here

because I wanted you guys to be on it also, but it's like, oh, you're doing always open with them and you're going to film a slow-mo thing with them. Like it doesn't make sense to. It's also already four people total with two of them and then you and you must have the bigger couch. Sure. Make it a party. Gamma consider one of their laps.

That's when you slow-moed. Recipes. Yeah, that is. Don't say, tell me out there. I think it was this morning they put out a video trying to make a $500 subway foot long. If you take the ingredients into subway foot long, but you made your own version with super expensive high-end ingredients, you get a $5 foot long or this $500 sandwich. What was it so expensive in?

The meat, like they got like... They feel like caviar in there. I bet it's like the same kind of stuff. Like it wasn't stuff that you wouldn't be on the subway sandwich but it was like the best version. I like the best cheese. Right, the best cheese, the best meat. Have you ever watched, there is a,

maybe it's a YouTube channel or it's a bunch of YouTube videos that a bunch of people do I don't know, but like the comparisons between cheap things and expensive things, those are real good. I think I saw one one square guy bought like an expensive $100 knife and then like a knife at a dollar store.

Yeah, yeah. He's like, if I sharpen the dollar store knife, will it be as good as like a $100 knife? Yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah. It's like if you just have to take care of it. But then it's like, like, oh, I'm gonna have a craft singles. And then I'm gonna immediately afterwards

eat some cheese that's been sitting in a vault in Holland for a thousand years and see which one tastes better or whatever, you know. Yeah, I think I watched one about, like getting a massage for like 30 bucks and then getting like a $500 on the four seasons. Oh, so like getting a Robert craft massage We're just getting a $500 massage. Yeah, but actually like it was really cool like the really expensive one had

two people like mimicking each other's actions on you So they're doing like both arms at the same time I feel like I don't know if I would like that. I like having only one area of focus on at a time Because then you like say that having not paid for this one area focused on at a time. Because then you like to say that, having not paid for this 10-cells amount. It's like a specific rim. They have to drift to get you

like to coordinate your movements and your body. I get it, I'm going together. They're screaming. They're screaming at the one that's not keeping up and that one point one's brother dies. Lampen replaced them. I'll never massage again. You're like your underwear on when you get a massage.

Yeah, yeah, I do. You do. What's the line that they give? Disrobe to your level of comfort? Yeah, yeah, I do. You do. I do. What's the line that they give? Disrobe to your level of comfort? Yeah, which I never know what that means. Like, so you start taking clothes off until you're uncomfortable, then you put the last thing back on. Okay.

All right, the last time I got a massage, I always keep my underwear on, but she did the, you know, the thing where if you keep your underwear on, they like tuck the, they pull it in, tuck the sheet in, so that way it stays there. She tuck the sheet in and then just pulled my ass out anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Look at that. I mean, I think if you go nowhere, the implication is you can massage whatever you want. I have a good application.

Also, you pour some skittles on the ground and you tap your foot three times, then they know. You know what I'm talking about? But this was, she was just went for it. And she also was crazy. She, there's one point where none of her was on the ground. It was all on me. She had her knees on the backs of my thighs.

What did you ask for? Nothing. I said a regular massage. And I don't even have like a regular person or what. She doesn't know me. I'm just training her. Straddling you. And and she know where she she I was on my stomach. And then she climbed onto the table. Then she climbed onto my legs. She put her knees into the backs of my thighs and then massaged my shoulders. So none of her was on the ground.

It was all the weights on you. All the weight was on me. Maybe she just put so heavy rocks on me. And the whole time I was thinking, don't fart because my ass is exposed. Wait, your ass is out too, dramatic. Yeah, because she pulled it down. That sounds like they would hurt the back of your thighs

having her knees bigger than that. Wasn't that like spread your cheeks open a little? Made me. Yeah. What happens in the massage room? Yeah, stays in the massage room. Well, James is able to grow his own anus whenever he wants to.

That's true. Yeah, I should've done it. I should've done it. Well, I've had a lot of strange massage. I've got a massage from a blind person. So he knows everything about me, except for what I look like. Every inch of my body.

Did he not massage your face? No, I don't get face massage, but everything else he touched with intimate detail. What's your favorite part of, okay, what's favorite part for someone to work on on you? Probably, I feel like it's gonna phrase that really differently. I'm gonna go lower back.

Low back? Sometimes I like shoulders too, but sometimes they do that thing right on your scapula and where they run their knuckle. And it's good because it breaks up all that stuff, but it also feels really painful. But there's nothing about my lower back that I think really hurts.

I feel like I would pay someone just to massage like my traps. Because those are so inflamed on me just from years of terrible posture. Yeah, I have to massage your traps every single night. Um, so that or my lower back too. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, although I'm you ever got the massage where they do that? They pop your fingers? Yes. That's my favorite bit. At the end. What have you just, they just for an hour? They're just popping and they go to the other side. They pop again. Every time they pull your finger, you fart. And then you have your cheeks exposed. Yeah. Pushed out. It's a volcano. Yeah. I had a massage recently. I go like maybe twice a year or a few times a year. And the masseuse I had, she had a clearly a tickle in her throat,

but because it's so quiet in the room, she's trying to be quiet about it. So every now and then she'd be like, and I wanted to be like, dude, just go ahead, just cough it up. Cause you could tell it was like something that like just wasn't coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ahead, just cough it up because you could tell it was something that just wasn't coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go get the water, what are you doing? Same here, did you? No, because I'm so awkward, I'm so passive aggressive

when it comes to anything like that. So I'm just like, I'm just gonna pretend and be slated. Yeah. It's a creepy to look at the person. Yes, yes, my eyes are solid eye contact. Shit, like glued shut at all times during a massage. Like, I got something in my eye when I was lying on my back the last time and I was like, you know, try not to,

but I was like, I hope she doesn't see me with my eyes, I put it like that. She's just right above your head. Let me tell you, the blind masseuse, the room was pitch black. I couldn't see him at all, but he knew exactly where he was. It was amazing.

Just like Benson. The best thing is at the end, I give him a 20 instead of a 50. That's weird. Like other countries, they make their bills in different sizes. The people who can't see can tell how many they can.

Not America. It's all the same size. Get up here Benson. Benson come here. Come here. Come on. You just woke up from his nap again. Oh, there we go. Keep going.

Yeah, it's very, very lovely beast climbing up onto the platform. What a majestic beast. He keeps looking at me. Yeah. He wants something from you. No, I was just like, do you think I'm a least or something? Maybe. He gets confused. That's it. He's the best of us. Yeah.

Is he gonna be in Arizona Circle? I don't think so. He was in the pilot technically. He's got a Vecamiya. He should have a camior voiced by someone on camior. You could get it. By Gilbert God for you. You could get it.

I just looked it up. You could also get camios from famous animals, like, bugs. Yeah, the Eric slacked me, the bugs was on there. Yeah, although apparently, a bug's does not have, he only has a four and a half star rating because someone's like, he does the same video for everyone. Cause you could also see other videos that they did for the whole.

Well, this is a voice bug. Dog. He's a dog that's like, Aaaaaah, he's crazy. Yeah, I'm sure he saw that video a couple weeks ago where it's like, where's, she's filming him and he gets like really mad. He becomes aware of the camera, starts screaming at it. Do we have a Bubs video that we could show?

Oh, excellent. What did the animals do though? Like, he's getting it not gonna... It's probably just like them walking around playing music with like text on a screen. I think there's that dog that Walter the sinking Frenchie who's from here in Austin. I think he also has a cameo as well.

Oh, I didn't see that one. I saw some baby pigs on there too, which I'm tempted to. Send those to Christomers. Dude, we love baby pigs. Do you think I could get Jake the snake, Robert snake? To record a cameo for me? Hey man, I'm just a man.

I'm just, you know, how's California? Josh is a great friend. Yeah, Josh is a great man, but bubs and love you Mr. Bubs Yeah, I got you I got this on camera Imagine living with that dog. I mean, every day is a fucking nightmare. Yeah. It's like that, have you seen Marnie? I think it's Marnie the dog.

Oh, yeah. Like that one that has like the tongue sticking out. Yeah. There's a conspiracy that like she's actually like their weekend at Bernie and the dog. Oh really? Like it's not alive anymore. I've never heard that. Because that dog? Oh really? Like, it's not alive anymore.

Because that dog looks like really not well. Yeah, the dog has had a lot of health problems. Yeah. Very famous dog now though. Yeah. Oh, was it? Is grumpy cats still alive? Are we going to get into a dark part of the park?

Is there a talk about? I don't know. I don't know. We should not talk about that. Grumpy cat had that movie. I think Grumpy Cat's still alive. Okay. I think because Grumpy Cat does conventions.

I feel like we would have to tan Econ or whatever. What was it? Tana con. Tana con. Tana con. Yeah, he was there in the sun. She. Grumpy Cat's a girl.

That explains the grumpy. She's probably, I'm counting very small. Yeah. She's apparently very small small like this big. Hmm. What about Shane Dawson's cat? That's also a grubbing cat. Oh, that's like my nightmare, dude. Like having something. I don't know if we talked about it on the podcast thing we talked about it right before, but do you want to? Because I wasn't aware of it before. Why don't you show? It's like something that you potentially said as a joke years ago, taken out of context,

that's apparently, he made some joke years ago that he had sex with his cat. And now out of the blue out of context, you said, like you follow you saw him on Twitter, out of context, you see that he tweets that he did not have sex with this cat and has never come on his cat yeah yeah but my immediate thought is I don't know what he's talking about but I do know he fucked a cat

my only reaction to that what's better in that situation to address it and then have a ton of people being like what the fuck is he talking about and try to look it up or not addressing it at all? I mean, you could at the very least you could add, I know people are Misconstruing this joke about me fucking my cat, but it was like many things I say a joke. Yeah, not Instead of giving no context. I never, I never, I never fuck that cat man Listen Josh, please If you're out there house California, I never fuck that cat. Yeah, it's like, we've been doing this podcast

for 10 years now. So it's like, there's a huge library of shit I've said. I'm sure, like out of context, he was like, clip, clip, he's like, oh, look at this horrible thing that you've done in your past. Even with the context. Even with context, or the unimfered wasn't great either.

Yeah, yikes, dude. I'm not context or the unimfered wasn't great. I heard. Yeah, yeah, I do. I'm not MDS of him, but you get a word of that tweet better. Not a tweet you want to make. No, not a tweet you ever want to make. It's hard when you've been making content for so many years, like something inappropriate is going to slip out at some point. Or you intentionally do it because that's literally your job of my job, everything you're doing. Yeah, very true. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't know about the cat thing. I just read the tweets and I was like, wow, I should chill out. And it sounds like it was a really serious deal for him. Just sounds funny. I didn't actually have any sex with the cat,

but the thing. I mean, I'll read it. Okay. I didn't fuck my cat. I didn't come on my cat. I didn't put my dick anywhere near my cat. I've never done anything weird with my cats. I promise myself I wasn't gonna make an apology. I wasn't gonna make a apology videos after last year's thing. So I'm just trying to be a short and honest with this as possible. Oh, hi, Mark.

Dude, that's wild. I feel like, yeah, it should have given a little bit of context beforehand. I also want to hear from the cat, because it's easy for him to say all these things, it's probably dead at this point, because he fucked it to death. Oh my God.

See, that's gonna come back and get me. Why would anyone do that to a cat? I mean, of all animals, if you get a bang on animal. Well, you asked earlier if you could have sex in any other animal style, what would it be? But that's like animal style, not if you could fuck any animal. Was that like with Ryanians on it?

Not many people are gonna understand that joke. It's a very in and outside joke. Nice. Nice. The nice. Did you say roll onions? Yeah, what is animal style? Was that raw onions?

I think it's slathered in the cheese sauce, their secret sauce, which I think is just mayo. I never ordered. I never ordered. It sounds messy, so I never ordered it. No, I haven't had internet in forever. I know, I felt like we wanted, we were so in-beats-a-n-head. And then they built one less than a mile down the road here.

It's like, oh yeah, it's there. We should start going a lunch again. Let's do it. And getting burgers and stuff. I feel like I never go to lunch with anybody anymore. I never do either. Yeah, it makes me sad. It's always asked me if that's sad.

She's like, who did you eat lunch with? She's like, I went and got something by myself. She's like, isn't that sad? No, I love it. Yeah. It's like going to the movies by yourself. It's great. It's the best version of going to the movies.

Especially with the Alamo, where you could also get food. Mm. So you're treating yourself. Warm cookies. When do you tickets to Avengers start going on sale? I don't know, I looked for that the other day and I saw they weren't up yet. Five weeks away.

Yeah, it's five weeks away. I don't know. It's gotta be soon. I hope so. Oh. Yeah, I expected them to be by now. I feel like normally, like, I feel like for Infinity Warden, they go on pre-sell like in January or so, like it was really early.

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Maybe they weren't trying to undercut Captain Marvel, so now that Captain Marvel's out. They want to see how long they can keep Captain Marvel in theaters making money before they do that. They're all going to sell half of their available tickets. Let's see what available tickets. Mm. Let's see what you did.

Check of only half the population remains. No, the sell them all. And then when you show up half of them, just get ripped off. Oh, yeah. Shredder. Yeah, nothing for you. I don't feel so good.

Como yo me he realizado como un chucho de chucho con... con personas más grandes de mí. I read this crazy thing the other day. Like I realized how out of touch I am with people much younger than me.

I was reading about how kids who are in high school, like you know I guess, you know everyone has computers now to do school work and whatnot. And but they're very locked down. You know they can only access certain applications. So the new thing that a lot of people in school do is they flirt via Google Docs. It's like they'll have a shared document or the chat if it's not disabled in like Google Docs

and then you can chat off to the side and communicate or you make a document where it's like you just write what you want and it has like you can make notes like you're making notes on a document. And then if someone comes by behind you, like a teacher, you hit like resolve all notes. And they all vanish, you seem to look like you're just looking at a normal doc. That is genius. It's like, I never would have thought to do that. And it's like, we don't have to think around that.

We don't have a teacher coming around and checking what we're doing. It's like, that's really smart. That's a really smart way to get around. If you get caught, they say, please bring your laptop to the front and read your Google Docs for the whole class. But everyone's collaborating on it. They will see it. That's true.

Wow, that's interesting. So you'd be like, will you go out with me, yes or no, and then someone else strikes through, yes. It's like, ow. It's like ow. Sorry, I meant to underline it. Yeah. So no more paper notes, no more that's interesting.

That makes me feel old as fuck. I didn't get any notes in high school anyways I did I did not I saw other people though. Yeah, I saw their lives are changed But for the rest of us is pretty much the same just sitting in class actually taking notes and listening like an idiot Like the big nerd I was But yeah, it's a it's that's wild And then this other story I had to I know we're running low on time Yeah. But yeah, it's, it's, it's, that's wild. And then this other story, I had to, I know we're, we're running low on time. So this is, this is, other story I wanted to bring up before we go.

I read this news article about a plane that had to turn around. It had just departed from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The plane had to go back to the airport because one of the passengers forgot her baby at the airport. Oh, how the, I guess it's like, it was a newborn and she just forgot. because one of the passengers forgot her baby at the airport. How the I guess it was a newborn and she just forgot. I mean, new was right there in the word. I feel like that is. I feel like that is like, hmm,

okay, wallet, cell phone, keys, baby. Where was it going to? The plane was due to fly from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I had to return. They lose the baby for that. Like, did you have to take it off you? Leave a baby. They tried to turn the plane or the plane. They kept with the baby on another plane. Well, but I mean, as long as they know the baby is there, someone at the airport will grab the baby and go all right. We have a baby And then yeah, just the next flight out someone rides with the baby. Well, I feel like they don't want

It's probably a liability. Yeah, the liability if it's having and keeping a baby alive I mean she did the mother didn't care about the liability of that much. Also, it's a long flight. Like, I don't know how long of a flight that is, but you think about going from Saturday where you get to the whole world. Yeah. That's a fucking long flight.

Yeah, that's a long flight. How long is it? I bet that's at least 10 or 12 hours. How far in were that? Yeah, that's what they said. They had just taken a half. Oh, okay, all right. Okay, that makes a person must have freaked out.

Like, what else did they turn a plane around for? Because it's not the request of the passengers to turn a plane around, which is rare that they would ever do that. I feel like baby might be the one thing that they would turn a plane around for. What if she was like, I forgot my baby so I turn her around and they land.

She's like, just kidding, it's actually just my cell phone. They still like, we know how to turn a plane around. Yeah. I think the police get involved at that point. Probably. Do they go back for pospules? She somehow, I doubt it. I doubt it, yeah.

I think so. Or mail that. You only, you either send it or you get to your destination and then they just make you go back. Mm-hmm. Like that's your fuck up. Or they could mail it. But you can't go back because you don't have your passport.

They get it. No way to prove it. I love to meet you at the international area. Yeah, I don't know. That's crazy. Who was it? I think it was like CGP Gray or someone. I think it was CGP Gray.

They did a whole video about like the international terminal at airports. And it's like determining what laws apply there. Like once you pass beyond passport control, it's like you're in this weird, between the time you leave passport control, you get on the plane and then re-enter another country with their passports, like what laws apply to you at that point? It's like the law of west. Where's it the law of the,

it's guy. Of the country that the airline flies for, is it the law of the country you left, is it the law of the country you land in? I don't know. It sounds like a good heist movie. You just came up with like the premise of the country you left, is it the law of the country you land in? I don't know. It sounds like a good heist movie. You just came up with the premise for the new next ocean movie.

My baby. Yeah, I've got to steal this baby. And I think the weirdest exception was, and forget, I think it's been a little while since I've seen this video, so I'm going to get it a little wrong. But they talked about this one example where someone, I believe was a Chinese citizen,

was arrested in the Amsterdam airport. And because of the way the visa worked, he was not allowed to leave the airport. He could not legally enter Amsterdam. So it's like, well, they need to get him out of the airport to put him in jail. So it's like, how do you get him out of the airport? Can you legally still, you can't be in the country, even though they're taking him to jail? So the courts had to pass He can't be in the country even though they're taking him to jail. So the courts had to pass and create an extra judiciary zone around him. So it's like legally where he stands. He's not Amsterdam.

And he's like trying to dodge it. He's like trying to dodge it. He's like not today. That's cool though. Basically, wherever that man goes in Amsterdam is legally not Amsterdam. Yeah, or the Netherlands, I guess. But yeah, it's like they have to create like where he standing was China despite the fact he was in the Netherlands. And he happens to be standing

on top of a diamond mine. You just came up with the plot of the next ocean's movie. Ocean's nine. Or Arizona Circle season two. Oh. All heist themed. That's not a bad idea. Maybe we already have one. Oh shit. Oh, no, that's someone's right. Who is this? Some guy in the internet, your idea was Wendover Productions.

It wasn't CGP Gray. No. Wendover Productions made that video. That's the kind of stuff you were asking if we watched a lot of YouTube videos. Yeah. I watched stuff like CGP Gray, Wendover Productions. CGP Gray did a follow up to his Brexit video.

I know it was him who did it. He did a follow up to his Brexit video the other day. He's talking about how fucked up your country. Oh, this is fierce. But it breaks it down very simply. It's like, this is what the UK wants, this is what the EU wants. Look, none of these things line up. This is impossible. It was just very, very simply conveyed. It's like this huge, super complicated issue. It's like break it down into a couple of points and it's like here you go. You can understand this in-

Are there views like that about just everything else that's going on in this country? Because that'd be very helpful. It's easy to me. Like, I can explain like I'm five for just every issue that's going on. I feel like that'd be very helpful to a lot of people myself included.

Yeah. We should make those. Arizona Circle season two. Yeah. It's all informational heist videos, informational something, but we teach you about it. It's like Carman San Diego. So you steal the declaration of independence and the new teachers about the declaration of it. And the Nicholas Cage shows up. Yeah. Perfect. We might get him. It's cameo though. So it's someone holding a phone. It's it residing the cameo. You just tell him his lines like you're just say this with your camera. Tell him to do on a green background. So you can just green screen him in. You put it anywhere. Yeah. Yeah.

That's sad. Is that okay with that? You can't look at the mic. How does that affect that? I saw who it was. I was, uh, I saw a trailer for some Korean film where they was about, it was set during the Korean War is about the Battle of Inchon. I think it was a film called Inchon where they had, what's his name? Liam Neeson playing Douglas MacArthur.

Perfect. And it looked so weird and so bad based on the trailer. Liam Neeson doesn't give a fuck about this movie. It's like, they're gonna pay me a couple million dollars through this film in Korea. It's like, I'm gonna show up and I'm just not even gonna try. It looks fucking incredible. That's awesome.

It's not out yet. Is it coming out? I think it's out already. Let me see if I can look it up. And it sounds good. Movie night. But it's like, that's like the whole thing that people used to all,

or that operation, Chromite, that was it. Well, it's a 2016 film, so I must be out already. Operation Chromite. That's not the title I expected for that movie. Wait, wait, is that it? Liam, you sound, Liam. Yeah, Liam, you sound. Right.

It's like the thing people used to do, right? Like before the internet, you'd always hear about like big Hollywood celebrities going to like Japan and doing like the commercials you never see it. So like on YouTube now you see, like Tommy Lee Jones is the robot for the boss coffee. Yeah, yeah. You see all those weird things that was going around? Oh, the Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah, Al Pacino's Dunkin' Donuts song.

What? It's like this musical. It probably is from Jack and Jill. Oh. It's from the Adam Sandler movie. But that's still not better. Yeah, I would rather him have done a Dunkin' Donuts commercial. Oh, okay.

You didn't see it? No. I'll have to watch. I was obsessed with it for like a week. I must have watched it like 10 times a day for a week. What the fuck? I missed that. Probably nobody saw Jack. I was gonna say no one saw Jack and Jill. Oh, for a week. What the fuck? I missed that. Probably nobody's so jack.

I was gonna say no one saw Jack and Jill. Well for sure not. And then I guess the movie that Adam Sandler won both the female and male or like worse actor and worse actress. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

Well, that's about time to wrap this up. Unless you guys got anything else? Yeah. The podcast next week. Oh yeah. 7 30. 7 30. Podcast next week is at 730. 730. Podcast next week is at 730 because of a live week. So tune in. We're doing live week. We still, I believe, have a couple tickets available.

If you are in Austin, you want to go in person and see, there it is. You want to see the podcast. There you go. But if you're watching from home, like you normally do, we're going to be live at 730 instead of 5 Next week because of a live week Thank you. I'm sorry. I forgot I have a microphone. What's you guys next time? Bye. Bye Hey, everyone. Welcome to this supplemental special edition of the received podcast We have a special guest for this so we decided to go film something with him

Don't introduce yourself? Hi everybody. Everyone got Rigowski. Everyone should be used to seeing you. It's a little out of context, a little weird seeing you here. Yeah, I am out of your phone on the couch. Yeah. And glorious widescreen. Ystreet.

Yeah. Panasonic, Technicolor, 3D. Not no 3D. No. And of course we also have Becca and Mary all of us to chat. I found I think the the two biggest HQ fans that I know of here Oh really? I would say Becca there's stuff. We have a yeah, we have a good group going here I played like I think every day since like September

Two years ago. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna. How long has it been around it been like almost two years ago. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna ask how long has it been around? It's been like almost two years now? It's about a year and a half. Wow. August 26th, 2017 is our birthday. No, we, so about a year and a half in. Yeah. For people who don't know, I mean,

I assume we're just talking like everybody knows about it. It's just like a app where people can queue trivia. For people, people can play along on their smartphones and it's not like a pre-taped thing, it? Yeah. A app where people have Q trivia. Where people can play along on their smartphones. And it's not like a pre-taped thing, it's live. It is live. And your competing gets everybody else who's watching at the same time. That's right.

And people think, oh, because as it was getting bigger and bigger and bigger, to the point of millions of people playing concurrently, people will be like, oh, it's harder to win now with two million people. It's like, no, it's the same amount of difficulty. It's just you're competing against yourself. You're not actually, it could be 10 million, but it doesn't matter. You still got to get all 12 questions correct to win the game.

So those people, not so bright. It's a reason why they're not winning it. It's a great concept. It's like, it seems so simple to me to think about. It's like, so it seems so simple to think about. It's like, oh yeah, of course, why wouldn't you just do that? But I felt like you really hadn't seen that, where everyone goes, gets together at a very regular time. It's a certain time I know that we all take breaks

around the office when the afternoon game comes up. It's like, oh, everyone gets together. It's time for everyone to compete. We have a Slack channel where it's called HQDs. And we all do the roll call, join in. I used to book time on my calendar, so no one would book meetings with me. Every Tuesday and Thursday, 2pm, I'd be busy from like 150 to 230. And it was just like meeting with sales, and then I'd run to sales and play with them.

150 to 230, yet I've heard. I would on my calendar, 8pm. Yeah, it was very optimistic about your chance. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. Oh, yeah. I got to get over there. I got to sit. We got to hype each other up. Yeah. That's great. I love that. I feel like it went for a long time as I first when it started. It was, you know, general trivia. And now, I guess it's been a while that you started doing like themed episodes. Well, last night was Game of Thrones. You got that movie, Game of Thrones. I fucking lost on Q13 and new 14 and 15.

I was so mad. That's the worst. Yeah. The worst. But I like that. Well, the themes are, I've totally, it's been like a shot in the arm. It's great.

It's people love whether it's the office, sign filled. We've did, yeah, Game of Thrones image. Yeah. Yeah. Marvel. Simpsons, yeah, Game of Thrones, you mentioned. The whole band need Marvel. The whole band need sims. Simsons, yes, one of my favorite show. But I mean, it's a great way for fans of these franchises, musicians, we did the Taylor Swift tonight,

Beyonce night, Golden Girls. Whatever it is, there's rabid fan bases, obviously, online. And you can bring them all together in a way they've never been together before. And so here you are competing with all your fellow fans and whatever, you know, whatever the property is and The money is almost secondary for those games because for those people it's the bragging rights, right? The ultimate you're the ultimate expert on golden girls Mm-hmm, you know whatever so that that is those theme games are some of the funnest ones to do I get the dress up a little bit throwing some silly wigs hats what nuts?

The money is not secondary to one of the people on the couch. Oh, yeah. Here with you. How much of you want Becca? In trivia alone, I think it's like 217. And then adding words is like 222 or something. Wow. Well, okay.

So yeah, so you're quitting research, and you just can play a few for the time. I'm going to be professional. I'm no Chad one.. That guy's insane. No, you get to enough shout out. Chad one M. That's the words champion, right? Yeah, just that guy always wins. Um, fast fingers.

I had a pretty big win early on. I think there were nine winners and we split a thousand dollar pod. So that was like a lot of. There you go. That's winning. That is the difference. In those early days, people could win $50, $100, pretty regularly. Now, you know, because there's so many people playing, the prizes sometimes go down a little bit.

But we, so that's why we played HQIRL yesterday. Yeah, yeah. And that was cool. Yeah. You were there. I was there. There was a few of us who were there. And our poor social media coordinator, Maxi, blames herself for the loss.

But I think we all took ourselves down with that one. Because we all got out in different questions. And then one of our graphic designers, Tony, is a huge fan. Yeah. I think he accidentally clicked the tomorrow show. And we were like, we were like, wait, tomorrow? And he clicked it.

And then everyone was like, no, no, no, late show, late show. And he was like, we were like, wait, tomorrow, and he clicked it. And then everyone was like, no, no, no, late show, late show, and he was like, it's done. It's done. It's done. And he's like, the day Googling the tomorrow show. Yeah. Tom Snyder, interesting.

Yeah. Yeah. So I've always been curious when, you know, obviously you did the IRL show yesterday, or for us yesterday, here at Southby. And that's a chance for everyone to see you in person. But, you know, we're all used to seeing you on the phone. It's crazy, because I always wonder,

I think everyone probably wonders when they look at it and they see like you, you're like really such, I feel like the iconic face for each contributor. It's weird to see me out of the phone, you mean? Yeah, I bumped in you over here, like a little earlier before we were, of course, like, oh, hey, like, I should have, like, oh yeah, you don't know me. I just had to say my name.

Right. Because I see you all the time. It's that familiarity. That is a fine. It's, it's, you're not the first believe me. There are a lot of people who approach me very casual. Oh, hey, like they've known me for years, but because they sort of have in the fun, in the phone world.

But not, when the live show we did was phenomenal. I mean, I like telling the audience to do a live show we did was phenomenal. I mean, I like telling the audience too when I do a live show. It's like, if you are experiencing lagging during this event, you know, it's all the docs. Yeah, seek medical attention. You're probably having a stroke. Let me be your down. Yeah. Yeah.

There shouldn't be any glitches happening in real life. That's on you. Yeah, the, it, it, it, it seems like probably the biggest hurdle to executing the show is like you talk about potentially technology glitches. You're dependent on a lot of people's internet connection and other people. Hardware, I mean, you have a shit phone. That's what I play on a shit phone. Still managed to do it, okay though.

But so yeah, you don't definitely don't have to deal with those things in person. Yeah, I play in my Motorola flip when I'm not hosting. Oh, we. Yeah. But it's hard. No, it looked, the technology is still some of the most unique technology that's ever existed to get that many people served simultaneously, all that data coming

through around the world. The team at HQ pioneered this technology to get it to where it is, to scale to where it is. And occasionally, there's still bumps along the way. There's only so much the system can take at certain times. And until I guess with every passing month, what's the rule of technology? You guys know this.

Every team month, I think, like the capacity doubles. Exactly. Exactly. So with time, that process will get smoother and smoother and then there'll be 100% glitchery experience. But in the meantime, we're doing okay. Yeah. What's your, what kind of background you have? Well, like, what did you do before this to prepare in order to be, you know, someone who, you know, it's more than just reading trivia questions, it's, you know, vamping and building that personal connection with people. You can

band like none other. You really can. Yeah, well, it's strange because my background really used to own an operator day spawned Jupiter, Florida. You meet a lot of billionaires that way out here. Yeah, yeah, a lot of good networking. But so no, I started as a stand up comedian and just having that experience, I guess, being on stage, being able to vamp when needed, basically after you tell a joke and it bombs the ability to kind of walk your way out of it and bring the audience along with you.

So that's a skill I've built up over the years. A lot of explaining my jokes and... This is the funniest joke, really. Yeah, yeah, I think audiences like that when you lecture to them and say, no, this is funny. And they're wrong. You're wrong. If you have a PowerPoint, you can back up again.

We've got the whole brand out of it here. That's all we do here. Absolutely. So I'm told that apparently we have some behind the scenes footage of ourselves. Oh, yeah. I think there's some footage of Maryl here. I got this is my first win.

Really? And it was a movie trivia night, and I was hanging out with some friends, and never one HQ before, and one, and then afterwards, my friend is like, holy shit, my security camera was recording the whole time. We got your win on camera. And so I wanted to show that to you. Were you visiting a friend in prison? No, I mean, just like like her house like her home security camera

Let's roll that beautiful bean footage I'm like, I'm like, very stupid. You're running around. Yep. Just wait for it. I expected you like the soccer player thing like slide in and you're easy to the arts and the air. There's a second part that her cat and it's just me chasing the cat. I'm like, Murphy, we won and I'm shaking him

and like trying to get a hold of him. He does not, he was not happy. But it was the nodding hill. I think it was. It was like, what does Hugh Grant say at the end of the movie? And it was like, he says, it was like after, she says I love you. Yes, she says I love you to him and what does he say?

And it's like, I know, right? Which is some star more. So it's like, that's not it. What you talking about, she says I love you to him and what does he say? And it's it's like I know right? Yeah, I was like that's not it. Uh, what you talking about what you talk definitely wasn't it? I can't remember what this what the other thing was. Um, but then the other one was like me too or yes, he said yeah, me too or he says nothing. And I was like I don't think he says anything. He doesn't say anything. And so I clicked it and then I won and of course lost my goddamn mind. We saw, there's video. I haven't done it yet. Well, I think everyone remembers

the final question of their first three. Oh yeah, 100%. And so then, yeah, I pressed it and then they announced that I won and then I took off and I just ran up stairs of her house and just started running around out there. I was victory left. It's like when a dog gets the zoomies

and they run around all three of these. That's exactly what it was. Did you chase your tail as well? Yeah, if I did. I'm still trying to figure out what your friends doing I was victory like it's like when a dog gets the zoomies That's exactly what did you chase your tail as well? Yeah, I did. I'm still trying to figure out what your friends doing with this low-angle floor And they're living room. Are you trying to try to watch their cats? I don't know you can identify any intruders feet like yes I'm sorry. That's a person to broken in my house. Yeah, it is happened to wait on feet Yeah, all right Smart houses right task. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Take some smart houses, right? There you go. So wait the future.

Do you think, will we get embedded HQ apps in our smart houses? We're like, walk through a house? Is there anyone? Hey, Google, get me ready for HQ. If you say that, the HQ University will pop up and read. Oh, my voice is reading you questions to help you prepare for HQ. But there is also an Apple TV app

that you could hook up to your big screen at home. And that one, usually my face goes into a bubble, I wanna read the questions. Well, on the Apple TV app, it's half screens full me the whole time. So I realized I can now order, pick my nose, clean, to inquestions or take a sip of water or anything

now. Spotlight is on me. Yeah. 100%. I'm going to have to check that out. Yeah. I use my Apple TV all the time. Yeah, we have a strange roundabout connection with HQ Trivia. We have someone that used to work here that works for HQ Trivia now.

If a long time podcast viewers will remember when Andrew brought us the Snapchat spectacles for us to try. Yeah, years ago Andrew doesn't work here anymore and now he works over at HQ Which I think is how we we got connected for you guys were in town for your own Andrew are very own Andrew Watts. He used to be he used to be Actual team don't know about that. He's a new and viral. Yes. He actually created Rooster Teeth, too. I don't know if you knew that. I hear that.

OK, here is Embarrassed like one year. Who's the boy wonder? He is. So he's who told me about HQ, way back in the day. And around the pulse. He really does. He interned here for a while. Then he worked in the marketing department.

Didn't work with you, but now he's off over there flying high in HQland. New York boy is. Yeah, he's going to be running this place in three years. He's going to invented it. He invented it. He's going to come back and I don't know what he's going to do. Social media. So you all, I guess, never talk about the methodology for finding questions or for figuring out

like themes or anything like that? Well, I mean, the writing process is, it's probably the most important part of the show, right? The fact that we have incredible team of writers who are not just going through trivia books and Googling trivia questions, they're coming up with original questions that are not just interesting, but engaging and maybe funny.

We call those nags. That's the inside term for the wrong answers. So coming up with sexy nags is a big part of it. Sexy nags. Yeah, which are the wrong answers that will draw the people to that question. Right. That answer option. So the sexier the neck, the better. You know, it's a really creative savage question.

That is part of the equation of a savage question. Oh, dude, do you all try to make savage questions? Oh, I think the writer's relish a good savage question towards the end of a quiz, maybe, but, you know, just because, again, you don't want everybody winning. But you never know when a savage question, you can't, everybody winning. But you never know when it's savage question. You can't, the answers you really can't architect a savage question because, hey, Burst and S. Soup, who saw that one coming?

I certainly didn't know. No, did you get it right? No, not the first time. Next few times. Next few times. Yeah, I'm good now. Burst and S. Soup, you know the story of Burst. I don't know, Burst and S. Soup.

I don't know, Burst and S. Soup. To the stay, like, it's crazy. Burst and S. Soup was our most savage question ever. It was asked actually just about a year ago exactly On on the show we had it was the third question into the quiz and usually we start you start easy Yeah, you know one through twelve to start easy build up so Q3 should be relatively easy the question was What Asian delicacy Is primarily made of birds nests? Or bird bird but bird that's super sorry What Asian delicacy is primarily made of birds' nests?

Or bird's nest soup? No, bird's nest soup. No, bird's nest soup. Birds' nest. The Asian delicacy bird's nest soup is primarily made of what? It was like crunchy noodles. Yes, crunchy noodles, cabbage, shredded cabbage, or birds' nests.

The primary ingredient of birds' nest soup, what is it? Birds' nest is the answer. It's hardened saliva of the swift lit bird. Oh, no. Yeah. They build these nests out of their saliva. It hardens these people, harvest it and boil it down to soup. It's seen a lot of, it wasn't a foods.

Yeah, it wasn't like a poetic medic for a bird nest. No, it's actual birds. You're eating a bird house. You're eating a bird house. I don't even thought, including myself, that it was the noodles. I'm sure there's probably like an Americanized version of it That's crunchy noodles, but yeah egg drop, but Becca You were one of 1.8 million people who got that question wrong

1.8 million and I'm gonna go I want to go in a savage question. Yes, however You are stingy with the savage declarations You know what what what, what is the fail? They're slightly savage. I appreciate the savage. Savage. They're brutal questions. What's your criteria for a savage question?

Well, I like to think there's like a two thirds of the quiz is out in the question. You know, and especially if there's a, the bar, the bar of wrong answers outstrips the correct answer bar. That's a good indication. I love when I get the right answer and you see that, you see a lot of other people, the wrong answer bar. That's a good indication. I love when I get the right answer and you see that.

You see a lot of other people. The wrong answer bars way longer. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Right. Out of that bar. Um, so how, you know, you talked about the writing process and getting the sexy neg some registering sexy negs.com. I don't know. Don't stop me. We should get that. Get that now.

Andrew. He's on it. And you got it. How, uh, like, how much of it is written versus you utilizing your ability to vamp and write along with it? Well, so we have the writers who write the questions and research it, and then actually Bruce Valanche does all the writing from my script.

Yes, Emmy Award winning comedy writer, Bruce Valanche. I outsource it all to him. HQ's Valanche. I call him. No, that's not true. I beat it, Michael Messe. Yeah, I write notes for the questions to myself and the box is there. And then I write my little intro, but there are also a lot of things that just come to

you in the moment. And also, I want, this is cool. I get to share this with you. I didn't realize there was a video. Oh, yeah. I'm ponies with podcast. this video Oh, yeah, pwn it's this podcast. Hello, hello camera to people ask You know what yes, but they set up and people think there's a teleprompter and everything but actually and I can this is I haven't I'm telling anybody this before but all that the entire script of the show and all the questions are written on

On the back of the CBS The longest paper known to mankind. Yeah, so that's what did you do by choosing? Yeah, I bought actually, yeah, I bought. I knew that savings though. Oh, yeah, I bought this Sharpie. And I got all of that. Oh, my God.

This is how we did the scripts on HQ. We put it all there. Wow. I love it. You've seen there's a guy a few years ago who dressed up as a CVS receipt for Halloween. And he went to CVS and redeemed this extra savings rewards. Sure audio listeners will love that. Yeah, yeah.

This is the stuff in the receipt back in my store. ASMR HQ podcast. Oh yeah, we're doing an ASMR theme show. And as I say this now, we have to do it now. HQ ASMR. It works. HQ ASMR. Well, the entire show like this. You want. Can you get an actual burst nest and crumple it like you'd buy the microphone?

Or I can be sipping burst in a soup. Is that part of it? I haven't actually watched an ASMR video. No, you're doing it. Is there people blowing on soup? I think it's everything. Yeah. Anything and everything. Okay. I think I think anybody would listen to whatever ASMR you put out there. Yeah, it's been whispering. Yeah, about being very gentle. Would people like that?

Yeah, that's all we ever wanted So this year I wanted to organically grow that Twitter read. So this is it. That's my gift to him though. You can't sustain it if you keep spending money. He's got to do the heavy lifting on his own. Exactly. But he does buy a lot of his followers. People should know that.

I remember when you're he waited, whether it was worth it to buy like 50,000 followers to be an influencer, to get him into these events at South Buy,000 followers to be an influencer to get him into these events at South by or just to like face someone to get him into the events. He's like, that's brilliant. And Andrew is doing Fire Fest too this summer. He is organizing that. He's been talking to Coolio. I think Jaw Rule said he was interested in doing a festival again, right?

Oh, yeah, how long until we actually tie dollars on Now that we have HQ IRL how long until we have HQ fire fest HQ fest would you guys do an HQ cruise? I Had a crew on that answer.

All the hot spots. All the whole golf. Yeah, the most beautiful Texas beach. Oh yeah. The oil slick beaches of Alabama. It's done in tugboat. I grew up when I was really small. I spent a few years living out on the Texas coast in a small town called Texas City, which

is by Galveston. And it wasn't until I was much older that I realized most beaches don't have tar on them. This is like we'd go down, you'd like, oh, you're going to find a place to sit down, you pick all the tar out first, then you sit. And that's how you scout out a little place on the beach. America. Yeah. Texas beaches are America. Not let's let's let's do the HQ crews somewhere else somewhere more scenic Okay, we'll do Roosevelt Island to Rikers To statin island.
