It's time to put your pedal to the metal.
From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland,
an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie
comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal,
a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series.
Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motormouth outsider
who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church.
Twisted metal, now only on peacock
In college we used to fuck with people
Fucking paranoid about my people
It's really easy just to grab their people turn the people around I hope somebody grabs that put them together to the hole and screw me together
Give a price. There'd there'll be some mayo.
Come on, be extreme.
Don't be some mayo, guys.
There'll be some mayo.
That's really the only reason I decided to use that theme song.
What an interesting theme song.
I totally forgot about that achievement.
That was in skate 2.
Skate 3.
Skate 3.
It was the, you know, the mayonnaise council's achievement placement.
Uh, we're, we're, we're running a different podcast crew today. We got Gus Jeff and Matt Holom.
What's up everybody? Grace and our presence from upstairs. I like, you know, this is the second time we're recording this show because Gus
Forgot to press the record button. The first and then blinded on his new computer. There wasn't, there was an error.
The first time we started was all Matt Hullam insults. Yeah. I
thought I wasn't good looking enough to be on the video version of the
drunk tank and I'm filling in at the I'm on C team was that right? Yeah, they
got the C crew to fill things out. But you know what Gus I think whenever I
show up for the podcast I make you nervous. You do. Because this is the
set like this in the last two times I've been on the podcast, you've forgotten to press record when we started the podcast.
We did, the last time I was here,
we did it beginning over as well.
It's your striking good looks.
I'm just intimidated.
I can't bring myself to say it.
I'm, apparently all of us are good looking,
we read the comments on the drum.
Oh yeah, they love us.
And it's the first time they've seen any of us.
Yeah.
Somehow, despite like two, three seasons of RT shorts
and countless other times we've appeared on the internet.
I think I read one comment that was, you know, I've met you guys in person several times at conventions,
but I didn't know what you looked like until I watched the film.
Man, I didn't know what the red versus blue guys looked like, and now I do, and I wish I still didn't.
What's up, Bernie?
Who's up, Bernie? You got a late entry here. Hello Hello everyone. I like the birdie comes in with sunglasses and a beer
I'm sure my headphones like Anna Anna hoodie. He's like Judd Nelson in the 80s
It's like it's Zach Elf and Akis meets the Unibomber to walk in
No, you're a genius because you show up for work early
So yeah, I think the video podcast went over pretty well.
We're hoping to do some more of those in the future.
You know, it might want to replace the audio podcast,
but we'll do it every now and then.
My favorite part about the video podcast is that Gus made
one video podcast and he doesn't plan to do them regularly.
Yeah, he's still managed to get a new computer out of you guys.
Yeah, hell yeah.
He made one video podcast on an old computer said, I don't think I'm gonna do this very often, but you guys should buy me a new computer out of you guys. Yeah? He made one video podcast on an old computer, said,
I don't think I'm gonna do this very often,
but you guys should buy me new computer.
Just in case.
Let me tell you exactly how that went.
He said, I know that the video podcast went well,
and I said, yeah, it goes, it was really hard
to edit on my computer.
I'm thinking about looking at getting a new computer.
I go, well, if you need a new computer,
do it, you should definitely look at that.
He goes, okay, he's apparently looking at it
in his office.
Yeah.
I think I've learned one lesson working here.
As soon as someone tells you you can buy it
and you're piece of hardware, you buy it.
You don't even wait.
It's the same way I got the mixer.
It's like, I was like, hmm,
I think maybe we could use a few more microphones.
But he's like, yeah, okay, I think we should look into that.
It's your order.
Would you allow me to run a little experiment?
Do it.
For Mac users who are not aware,
there is, or people who don't use Mac, I should say,
there's a program called Spotlight,
which we can easily find things on someone's computer
Yeah, so let's see does he have final cut installers? They have World of Warcraft and so
We check let's check I got a I got a both. I'm gonna guess the as both and only because of time machine
soundtrack pro final cut
Compressor and world of warcrafts over there next to Photoshop
to Photoshop. I see the application folder with install bates please. Don't we check that? Uh, I don't, yeah sure.
If you want. Uh, well, look at the time. Uh, I don't want to embarrass anybody.
That's how my job here. Why would you support employees?
Final cuts to September 27, 2010, World of Warcraft, December 6, 2010.
How are you installing stuff in December? Is this your new computer?
Your old computer. It's time's a time machine, though.
Oh.
By the way, I am.
How about run by date?
Griffin had to bring some stuff home from work last night
to work on a home and some stuff for some shorts.
And so I drove it back up here today.
And it didn't fit in my car very well.
So I think I'm going to need to get a company car.
So if you want me to look at that.
I'm having the future.
We have a company truck to move stuff around.
I don't know if you know that.
Speed to which I got to move that company truck over to the company because my insurance was
canceled because Griffin wrecked my truck. How does that happen? Griffin wrecked your truck and
they cancel your insurance. Here's exactly what happened. I have insurance and I pay them every
month. Every month. God damn month. I pay them for insurance. So what happens but my car gets
into an accident. Part of my coverage is that I can have uninsured drivers, in other words, people that I know
personally, who might borrow a truck?
Sure, it happens all the time.
As you do.
Yes.
And so she gets in this wreck, so then...
And by the way, wreck.
I mean, she tapped over the car.
Yeah.
She skidded and re-rended somebody, which sounds hot, but it's not.
So my insurance agent, basically, Jeff, I'm sure you've been on a call like this before,
if your house was robbed, it's like, guess what?
We've looked at it, yeah, we've decided we're going to cover you.
We're going to give you a favor, and we're going to cover the damages to the other vehicle,
even though it's in my policy, and they have to do it.
So then what they did was they sent me to this form that said, it's basically like a, you're not going to remember the bad crowd form. This is an excluded driver.
You are not going to allow. I can't be friends with Griffin anymore. Griffin Ramsey to drive
your truck anymore. And I have to sign it and send it back to him.
You've got like the scarlet letter now. Yeah. Griffin gets sick. Do you think they'll find
out and you'll lose your health insurance as well? Is that the way it works? It's all proximity.
It's all like six degrees of Gryffind Ramsey.
Exactly.
So I'm troubled calculating her grocery bill, not to buy her new computer as well.
So they want this excluded coverage.
And I refuse to sign it.
I refuse to sign it.
I pay for insurance.
I've more than paid for that accident over the course that I've been with this company.
Absolutely.
We're not going to name them, but it rhymes with schmarmers and shirts.
And yeah, I saw our refuses sign it so they cancel my insurance.
Wow.
And it gets canceled.
It's actually they're going to refuse to renew my policy.
So that's something much nicer.
Yeah.
It's assholes.
I guess what?
Auto insurance?
That's like the iPod of the insurance world. That is the gateway drug
Yep, wherever my auto insurance goes. Guess what? Everything else is going over there too every other thing you hear that schmarmers
How insurance the tier-loss marmers is it's life insurance? Let me tell you I'm an unhealthy dude
You wouldn't have been able to let Griffin in your house
so they would have had to have you fill out the included person policy.
This person's a dangerous person.
They might fall onto your stove.
Do not allow in a kitchen.
Although I should just keep that former room from whenever Griffin is cranky.
And just like, look, I signed this form.
I'm included from this.
I have my job card now.
It might get out of Griffin free Card, I don't even know what I want.
I wish I could.
Do you want to do it?
Do you want to do it again?
Yeah, just slide one under my door.
That would be awesome.
So did you see the news today?
I guess that Gorver Binsky was talking about the now on, the, now on ice, bioshock movie.
Yes, he is.
He said that, uh, I guess the studio wanted him to make a PG-13 movie, but he couldn't imagine
making that movie for any, uh, at any rating, other than R. So they reached an impasse, and
now the movie's just, kind of dead.
They also weren't happy with the $160 million budget, right?
Yeah.
That's, that's a lot of money.
Goddamn, man.
Why is it so hard to get a, a decent budget for a video game movie cuz they all suck and they don't make any money I guess so
just a touch on all the things that you're raising yeah minute yeah yeah what are you trying to
you try to come up with a good video game movie aren't you I always try to but I think I almost
said men and black and atomic book it's a comic book movie and not a not a well-known comic book
either no very obscure one what's what your favorite, or what do you think
is the best video game movie?
Probably Tomb Raider.
I think the most successful is probably
the Resident Evil franchise now.
Yeah, I think Tomb Raider 1 made the most money
out of a video game movie, maybe, but.
I think it's even more like.
It costs less to produce a Resident Evil movie
than the Resident Evil game.
Yeah, I think they make Resident Evil movies
for like 30 bucks now.
It seems like.
There are.
Like 15 of it is for TV commercials.
Up to number four is that right?
Four or five?
50% of it's machinima.
That is to go PS1 footage for the original Resident Evil.
See now if I was directing a video game movie and I was directing Resident Evil, I would
never point the camera at the actors.
I would have them like around the corner just like Resident Evil, the camera works in Resident Evil. Have the dude framed away far on the left and the implication
of zombies offering somewhere. The 20 minutes of a door slowly opening.
The audience is like, oh fuck, oh fuck, I hear it. It's way worse in my head than in real life.
Anytime the projection assessment changes real, you just have them go to the door and have
the door slowly open for 20 seconds.
I don't know. What is a what is a successful video game movie?
I'm trying to think of even the last one I saw. I remember when we saw, was it the Doom movie? How much do you make?
The rock. Yeah, well, they didn't finish the script basically. I think they get to a certain point in the script
and they just decided to copy and paste from earlier points in the script because there was about 80 lines of dialogue in the movie that were just
the word what?
Yeah, what's man?
I used to think of one of that all the time.
That movie made $28 million.
Wow.
On a budget of 60.
Can you look up high-score video game movie of all time?
I'm going to go back to watch Doom now that you said that.
What?
I've always wanted to cut together all the what's from do with the rock It's like these are demons. They know what a portal hell what
You got ammo
How many what's there hard to oh
I mean you could have done like control F on that script find what and just replace with
At least a little bit better.
What?
I don't understand anything.
The highest grossing video game adaptation is
Lara Croft Tomb Raider.
Yes, the first one.
How much did it make?
$131 million.
Okay.
And the second highest grossing is Prince of Persia.
Sansa time.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.
What's the date?
Number three, Pokemon the first movie.
Didn't the guy from Ubisoft said that
Prince of Persia was gonna be
Disney's new Harry Potter kind of franchise.
Like it was gonna break all records.
Oh really?
I don't know.
I remember like somebody going out on the limb
with that movie before I came out with it
just like a massive,
this is gonna be the best thing over.
Which I would never do with a video game.
That movie made a ton of money overseas.
Prince of Persia?
Did it?
It made 90 million us and
244 for and probably big in Persia
But then he was a real prince so they felt like they were obligated to go watch they all flew it on their carpets
How can you do they have a flying carpet in Prince of Persia?
Um, I don't think so has anybody in this in this room seen that movie? Yes We saw it at RVBTO, right? No, it was Ken West, wasn't it? Ken West? Yeah, you all saw it when you went
to Ken West. That's what it was. How was it? Sorry. Was Jake Dreamy? I had in my head too much
how upset Brandon was already as a Persian person. How upset he was that Jake Jalen Hall
was cast as the Prince of Persia. There were no there were no Persians or Iranians in that entire movie with her.
No, I don't think so. So the Persian Empire is now Iran, right? Right.
That's what's it's been whittled down by what Alexander the Great did that.
Mm-hmm. And now it's because it could be everything from essentially Saudi Arabia to China
was the Persian Empire. I think that was huge.
And the Alexander the Great just came chop chop chop to there. Saudi Arabia to China was the Persian Empire. I think so. Yeah, it was huge. And now it's the end of the great.
Just came.
Jump, jump, jump, jump.
Do there was just King August Con after.
I don't think they're great.
We should know that.
That's what we should know.
I believe so.
I believe.
Yes, I'm going to say yes.
I think ultimately through history,
Ginghis Khan won that conflict.
Because I don't see a lot of Alexander the Great
restaurants and there are a ton of Ging gingas con mongolian barbecue
It's a very good point. So I mean that's a legacy right there. That's what you want. Didn't that like to have a great guy in a dumbway
Um, I don't think so like a dumb illness early on I think you had a wound that he died from over time, right?
Yeah, like a wound in his side
Yeah, what a chill yeah Alexander the great was 300 BC. Ginghis Khan was like 1280. They yeah. And BC's before 80. Yes. Okay. So it's like a 15,
1500 year difference. But it's three. He had he had 300 years to go. And Alexander
Great had 1200 away from it. Yeah. So 1500 year difference. That's a long time. That's
a big difference. So they probably never hung out. Yeah, I didn't know each other. So Ginghis
count one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get a higher score.
Yeah, I didn't know each other so gang is count one. Yeah
High-score
Did I ever it some kind of weird stat that you can trace a certain percentage of the global lineage to gang is con really? Yeah, what's that percentage?
The 40th person
50
I got to I had some dudes some dude come at me in the comments where he said
I got to I had some dudes some dude come at me in the comments where he said
He's I'm gonna do my voice is there is there a single podcast we go through where Bernie doesn't get something totally wrong And the answer that question is sir no, yeah, I saw that guy too. What do you think I didn't even say what I got wrong?
That day, I don't know. I thought I found the thing you're talking about yeah, it's a
0.5% of the male population in the world or roughly 16 million descendants living today.
That's weird. That's pretty awesome. At a Darwinian level, that dude won. Yeah, I mean,
great time. Yeah, no kidding. I'm going to get one. I'm going to go and buy
a few for lunch. So if you had 200 people working in your company, one of those people
would be descended from Genghis Khan. Yes. That's pretty good dude. Yeah, that's pretty good
He wins man. It's being of Mongolian barbecue
We found a lot of new new restaurants over here off of William can in the other day. Did you do you think 200 years from now or
500 years from I'm not to get away from that subject, but like
0.5% of the population will all be related to Wilk Chamberlain
Like he's the new Genghis Khan. He had sex with a lot of women, but did he impregnate a lot of women?
He had sex with 10,000 women. He had to have knocked up a few.
He's pledging to be an NBA. You have to have like 14 illegitimate kids to play in the NBA.
I don't know about that. It's a requirement.
They just keep it on the down low.
Who is more prolific than Wil Chamberlain?
I guess Charlie Jean is the modern day. He's working on it.
That's a Chamberlain.
Then he did some interview the other day
where he kind of hinted at the fact that he does crack.
Who, Charlie Seane?
Look came out.
What the whole, he came out that he does crack.
He went to speak to the students in the football program.
And you see a law, I think it was, the US.
A baseball program.
He's a baseball program.
It's like, how do you set that up? It know, it's like we need to have a motivational speaker
come in and you know, talk to about kids about
staying after us.
Who should we get?
Charlie Sheen?
Yeah, that's the person that comes to mind.
Well, the last he spoke to the Duke LaCrosse guys,
and that one really worked.
Oh, here you go.
There you go.
I bet that the athletes just voted.
That's what they voted for.
Who else would you vote for?
Like if I'm in the same room as Charlie Jean
for more than 15 minutes,
there's like a 40% chance that I'm gonna get prostitute sex.
They're very motivating to each other
because Charlie Jean would go,
I've been cleaned now for checking my watch.
What's happening there?
Wow, is it PM already?
They probably just need to refill their stash
and it was just the easiest way to get it refilled
with the Charlie Jean show up with a fucking briefcase.
Plus, what is the chance to tell you she does not get to do a motivational speech with
like eight lovely assistants?
He apparently in that whole story about the drugbender, the three day drugbender, he was
on with the porn stars, who he knocked up, and that whole thing.
It came out that he doesn't have, he's lost all of his teeth to drugs
and he has all gold and teeth
and the girls that I was like the grossest thing
you should ever see and I guess for the show
they put caps on them to make them like normal.
Really?
Why does he have, oh never mind.
He doesn't mean he's,
but he can't, there's no question you can ask
that we'll have a rational answer.
Placing the news.
And that was the chick's name I think, the porn star.
Wow, I haven't heard that.
Yeah, supposedly his teeth are all gold
and he looks like, like, I don't heard that. Yeah, supposedly his teeth are all gold and he looks like a like I don't know
Flavie play like flame a flame or like Paul wall
The white bread she version what was the James Bond villain the guy with jaws. Yeah, also he's worth 385 million dollars
I read good for him not bad. You get a lot of crack and hookers with a $35 million.
Apparently you can, yeah.
That's a whole boatload of money.
That'll motivate you to succeed in life.
That's interesting too, because like that you would consider to be a pretty big film star,
at least back in the day.
I bet all that money came from his television show.
I bet.
You know?
Well, what does he make per episode on that 2.5 min show?
He makes like a $2 million episode or something, right?
Yeah.
Well, that's a thing.
It's like, it seems like in Hollywood,
you make all your money from just
whatever your most recent project.
It's like athletes.
You hear what somebody made in the 80s,
and at the time, I'm sure you're like,
wow, Tom Sellik makes 40 grand in episode for,
you know, let me do the math on that.
Wow, he makes 800,000 dollars a year playing Magnum PI and then Charlie she makes that in
about twelve minutes on one episode now I was I was reading an article with
Stallone not too long ago where he was talking about like his recent all of his
recent films expendable the way you said that I imagined you in Stallone like in
bed like
pillow talk with Stallone and he was talking about how like
He was almost broke and how hard it is
How hard it was for him to make this
He promised alone friends out there and how
How almost impossible was for him to get movies made
but how does movies made more
for him
then uh... probably like all the stuff he did in the eighties
just because you know you didn't get a ship back there better deals
or you can pay so much more now yeah
it's like he was a huge fucking star and he was making next to nothing to
destroy his body and then you know
the other time when he's fifty 55 because he has to make money
Yeah, I looked up this Charlie Sheen thing because you were you just talked about it
I guess he reenact or he got a new contract last May and he was making $850,000 in episode
But the new contract bumped him up to 1.8 to 1.9 million in episode. Yeah, I guess he's making like 40 million dollars a year
Yeah, I wonder if that's the highest anyone's ever been paid for television show.
Yes.
No idea.
You think you can make it more money?
You think Adam Sandler's making more money
or David Spades making more money?
So David Spade on TV right now?
David Spades have been on like a show
pretty much since he left SNL.
He's on that rules of engagement, I think.
I'm gonna say that Sandler's making more money
just because people remember who Sandler's making more money just because
People remember who Sandler is well. He produces everyone in films Yeah, he's over there. He's in
He's in I'm gonna do so on every movie. He made I'll see Sandler
They made a lot of money on grown-ups right?
100 and 60 million yeah, he's got that other movie coming out
All I know is got Brooklyn Jacker and a bikini and her boobs are swaying all over the place
Oh, you have jobs my memory. I think that's all they want you to know
Yeah, that's all I know about that. I don't remember what it's called and there might be kids in it
I think Jennifer Aniston might be in it. Yeah, I don't know if that's it. Okay
Yeah, he made a he made a kids movie too made that movie with Terry Russell about those bedtime stories
Kids movie. Yeah, yeah, and he did that click movie recently
Yeah, basically you see that's happy Madison that means if you see that production's like that means Adam
Samaritan making a lot of money. He also made up his title sound like there could be porn movies.
Like bedtime stories sounds like one of those like soft course and axe kind of moves.
Like road to diaries or something.
He also made a boatload of money on water.
The water boy.
What is that?
He made a boatload of money on that Paul Bart movie too.
Oh, and he did the movie made like a hundred and fifty million.
Man. Yeah. The guy that impressive kind of like little troop of, I mean they just keep, you know,
having Kevin James fall into that group.
I don't know.
Because he, I mean he didn't, he, his, Sandler like surrounds himself with, you know,
X, S and L cast and the guys that he like came up with.
And then Kevin James just fucking fell in the water.
Maybe he convinced him.
He was like, don't you remember?
I was on there first.
Yeah, right. I was with you guys. I was the ball cop please if you ever watch King of Queens now
No, no funny dude. That's a funny show the last movie they made kind of bomb didn't it the dilemma
Did anybody can see the dilemma?
What's the name James and Vince Vaughn? Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, I just like a couple weeks. That's a rock-powered film
Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah
controversy about the gay joke. Yeah, here's how my brain works
We've been talking about I'm Sandler. We've been talking about Kevin James
I'm now completely locked out of every other thought
Except for Jessica Beale in her underwear
I got to that point. I still have thought and it's like everybody off. I still have that in the past Brooklyn Decker yet
Was the movies you zoom was in with them? Uh, good luck. No, it was um, it was uh, the, uh,
I pronounced you Chuck and Larry. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Yeah.
That would be made a lot of money too. Is that it? Yeah, I think it made like a 90 million or
100 million. But back to Brooklyn Decker. Doesn't she live in Austin? I think I've heard that before.
Is that true? Yeah, because she's married, and she married to Andy Roddick. Oh really?
And he lives here. Speaking of famous people in Austin.
So Brooklyn, come on by.
We're close.
Yeah, man.
That's what's been missing from this equation all along,
which is Brooklyn.
She just did proximity.
She just didn't know that we were down the street
and we're close by.
Just come on down and see us.
She had to be close.
Speaking of us.
So, the celebrities in and around Austin,
did you see that Janine Lyndon Mulder
got arrested in Hayes County?
No, she did.
Yeah, it was like two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago, she was coming, I guess we inherited Jesse James now because he bought a house when he was with Senator Bullock.
Oh, so he got him?
Yeah, we have him. Now he lives here.
He and I guess Kat Von D here all the time.
He had a kid with Janine Lyndon Mulder, the porn star, who's famous for the photo on the cover of the movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the hot nurse and she came to harass and stalk him and got picked up in Hayes County
and arrested.
Hmm.
So she came to harass and stalk him.
Yeah.
She sent him like 300 text messages in two days or something and yeah, they picked her
up in Hayes County and put her in jail.
I've sent him 400.
Yeah, I know.
I actually have seen him in the airport.
He's one of the few celebrities that I've ever spotted in the Austin airport. Oh really? Yeah
In the midst of all that stuff where he was getting bashed on the cover of all those tabloids
I mean people were still just lining up to take pictures with them. Absolutely. I'm absolutely
It didn't affect anybody's opinion. I don't think that stuff affects anybody like Charlie Sheen
He's making a boatload of money on a network TV show 50 years ago
Also, he would not have been able to do that. He'd have been out the door. Yeah. Did TV just 50 years ago? So it's 1280. You have a TV.
It's a... You and Gingaskhan are just kicking back watching. It's the same thing as when the
Mel Gibson thing like that. Two-and-a-half Mongols. Well back then it was just... Back then it was like literally
half of a torso. The mumbo was like vertically cut in half. Oh it was like literally half of a torso I was like the mom was like vertically cut in half
It was like when the height of the Mel Gibson drama when he was you know knock and teeth out and threatening
to have people raped
he uh
They did a thing on Howard Stern where they went down in the street and they asked people in the street who who is more
reprehensible Howard Stern or Mel Gibson and it was like nine out of ten people said
Howard even though Mel Gibson was like couldn't be getting worse press and people people love
actors. They just fucking watch them. I really don't like how I feel. I really don't like
Howard Stern. Have you seen Lisa Weapon? It's awesome. It is good movie. It's really
good movie. He's going to be in a movie that's coming to South by Southwest. The beaver.
That Jody Foster movie. Yeah, yeah, foster movie
Which is stuff I mean, I mean you make a movie and you're in post production and then your actor goes out and suddenly
Changes the tone of your movie entirely. That's kind of a rough deal. You just never know. Yeah
And it's already called the beaver
I'm sure they had like a two and a half men subplot where Charlie Paiser girl that like, you know,
she's his girlfriend for a couple days.
It's like a really funny subplot.
So yeah, wait, did that fucking thing happen?
Ha ha ha.
So did you speak into Janine Lindemuller?
Did you see her mug shot?
No, is it pretty good?
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
I think she's pretty hot.
She's super hot.
I haven't seen her a couple of years,
but she's always struck me as one
of the more beautiful porn stars.
She was.
Oh no, not looking good.
Oh,
Oh, just a little age.
That's all.
Wow.
That's too much stuff there.
Yeah, let me ask you a question.
That hair cut.
Let me ask you a question.
When you see an older person now, she's a little bit older.
She has grayer hair now.
When you see an older person with lots of tattoos, I'm talking to Jeff. Does that scare the shit out of you? No, I give a shit. Yeah, no, okay
It seems like the ultimately that's that's the problem with tattoos is that as you get way older like 50 and 60
I'm gonna look like a box of melted crayons
Yeah, it's fine. Let's get rid of it. What do you do?
Life's too short to give a shit about stuff
I guess so I guess so
But it's like the deal of going through tattoos. Why never did it is like I don't I don't have like I guess
I don't have the energy or the enthusiasm to go through that much pain for something that permanent
It's like when you talk about Charlie Sheen
I'm envisioning him leaving the set and taking out his caps and putting in the gold teeth
Yeah, and that seems like a big pain in the ass.
It's just like, okay, let's just get Charlie with the regular teeth and he'll, he'll just
won't fuck with it.
He'll leave it alone.
He won't have the enthusiasm.
Nope, but he like pulls his teeth out every day, I guess.
Yeah.
And puts in the gold teeth.
It seems like a lot of effort.
Does seem like a lot of effort.
That's like that Tuesday.
That's like a lot of effort to me.
Oh, they're ton.
And I'm always watching you like, like, when you read a new one.
You got a revolution on the ship. Yeah, like you wax in a surfboard or something like that. Yeah. That's what I effort to me. Oh, they're ton. And I'm always watching you like, like, when you read a new one. You got a revolution on the ship.
Yeah, like a wax and a surfboard or something like that.
Yeah.
That's what I like to think.
One time you got a, you got a star on your, was it on your wrist or your forearm?
Yeah, I got a star on my wrist.
And he, I remember we were working on something and he bumped his arm.
Yeah, we were at the, the beat of it.
Yeah, bumped his arm on the table and you took a hunk out of your arm.
I did.
Because I guess you had just reached the top. You just like to rip the tattoo out. I've never seen that before. It sucked. I had to get a redone. Oh you did? Yeah
Yeah, it seemed like that spot was just like you were gonna have a hole in your arm. Yeah
No, I wouldn't heal that wouldn't go. Yeah, they filled it with ink. Yeah, we filled that whole thing
They replaced this chunk of flesh with ink. Let's back on it and paint over it. Nobody deal. That looks fine
Yeah, it looks like your arms all healed to me. Yeah yeah any tattoos that you now regret that you wish you hadn't gotten
nah nah there's a lot of tattoos I don't care about and that we're dumb but
you know that's what being a kid's all about being dumb right where
do you have some tattoos Gus yeah anything you regret I don't care what about
your Atari tram stamp that's funny I did it for our website remember I do yeah
you know I remember I suggested the Atari symbol when you were trying to figure out what to get. Yeah, and you then remove the Atari from the bottom which I think was a good move. Yeah.
And then back then when I got it, Atari really didn't exist as a company and then info games bought the name and the brand and they kind of exist again now, I guess. Yeah, that's a weird thing when that happens.
that happens. You know, when I was a kid, I'm going to tell you a weird story, I was at the mall and
I was probably 10 and I saw another kid with an Atari shirt on and I thought that's
the coolest thing I've ever seen.
So I went home to my mom and I said, I want to get an Atari shirt, how do I do that?
And she goes, well, I think you'd have to write a letter to the company.
And I said, oh, okay.
So I wrote a letter to, I found the Atari address and I wrote a letter asking how to get an
Atari shirt.
And two months later, I got a shirt in the to get in a Tari shirt and two months later
I got a shirt in the mail. It was a Wimbledon shirt
Atari sent me a Wimbledon shirt. What? Yeah, it was a weirdest fucking thing. Did they have a game a Wimbledon game?
I don't think so. It was just like a
1984 Wimbledon shirt or maybe 86 fuck was it kid size?
I don't know if it like went to Atari's parent company and they just like send out nonsense
But yeah, I got a small a like a small Wimbledon shirt I don't know if it like Winto Atari's parent company and they just like send out nonsense, but yeah
I got a small a like a small Wimbledon shirt. I didn't know what Wimbledon was so I had to ask my mom and I was like
What is this and she's like that's tennis did you mistakenly send the letter to like the US tennis association or?
No, I didn't I sent it to Atari. I have no idea why they sent me I never understood it
I wish your mom had trolled you as much as you've trolled her in her life and just said yeah
Wimbledon's a new game coming out?
She could have yeah, if she'd have been quicker on the uptake. It's a new Atari console. She could have really fucked with me. I'm just oh my god
I'm terrible to my daughter about that stuff. Yeah, I do know make it
I don't like I've ever told her the truth about anything. I
Think a whole generation of dads are gonna be influenced by Calvin and Hobbes. Yeah, and Calvin's dad in that
I think I think you see a lot of that reddit.
I see troll dad stories every now and then about fathers.
Filling their children's head with some misinformation.
Sure, why not?
They don't know shit.
You can.
It's stupid.
It'll teach them a question.
That's right.
A question where they get the information from.
Figure shit out on their own.
What's the longest held belief that you had that would
turn out to be wrong?
Something you thought was.
It's ridiculous for most kids, right?
Well, geez, spoiler.
I don't know.
All the kids are listening to the drug take.
But no, is there anything like you believe for way longer than you should have?
Any of your embarrassed by it?
Evolution.
Oh, man, I don't know.
That's a good question.
I'm sure that-
Come back to it.
There's got to be stuff like that. I didn't understand the difference between Washington and state
and Washington DC for the longest time.
I was way too old.
Yeah, I figured that out.
Like I thought the Seattle Seahawks, when I would see them on TV,
I thought they were like over by Philadelphia somewhere
for some reason.
That's a one-air street out in my head there on the West Coast.
Seahawks, the Eagles, it would make sense
that they keep them close to each other.
Exactly, they're all in the air.
It's like a zoo.
Keep all the birds over there.
You know, keep the, what is a seahawk?
Is that a real bird?
A seahawk?
That's a good question.
I don't know.
Or is that like an ice bat?
We have amateur hockey team, or a semi pro hockey team,
in Austin called the Austin ice bats.
It never made any sense whatsoever.
They're gone there, right?
There's something else now.
Yeah.
There's stars.
Oh, yeah, they got, they moved. Like like they were they moved up to like a higher level of shitty hockey league
So they change names. Yeah, they probably got the fuck out of the Austin market. I went to I went and saw a game with Jack one time
Yeah, it's fun. That's not the finals the shitty finals. They lost
The nice thing about hockey at the non NHL level is the
lower that you go in professional status the more likely you are to see a
massive fight. Yeah, I went and I saw Houston arrows game years ago when I still
live in Houston and that was like their their hockey team. I think they were
playing like San Antonio or something. Actually, you're not. They were 13 fights
in that game and like some you know all out like people running out there like
huge dogpiles. We'll people just punching everywhere. It was awesome
That is awesome. It's like watching a boxing game. Oh nice
You know that's like what's the old saying I went to a fight in a hockey game broke out. Yeah, I got everything. Yeah
Yeah, those guys are hungry for either flesh or success or something
Look at it get their satisfaction
They're all descended from ginkus come on
That's the point five percent. They're gonna play their satisfaction. They're all descended from Genghis Khan. That's the point 5%. They're gonna play Haki or B boxers.
Oh, that makes me wonder if Griffin and I are descended from Genghis Khan then, because we wouldn't be adverse to eating people.
They're going back to our old podcast discussion.
Did the Mongols eat people?
Sure, why not?
The barbarians.
I don't just throw that into.
What do you think Mongolian barbecue is?
They can also- they can also cast spells
Barbarians aren't magic users don't be stupid
Someone knocking on our door come in
I'm selling for a UPS package
GPS baggage. I'll be right back.
There's some stuff for you in there.
Awesome.
I think.
It's probably a ram.
So, I got my ram already.
I don't know.
You know, last year, Toyota was getting a lot of shit for apparently having, supposedly having
electrical problems in their cars.
A lot of shit, dude, the fucking stuck accelerators.
I got government basically like tried to run them out of business.
Yeah they got terrible.
Find huge amounts of money.
I guess the the analysis of their systems is finally done and no faults were found in any of
the cars or their electrical systems. I started to doubt that whole thing but after that incident
with the guy in California who totally faked his Prius
Accelerating, yeah, do you move that new story? Yeah, it was just like just a really bad
Con job like he was trying to set up to sue them or something
Well, that was crazy because they they mean as soon as that story came out
You know toyota said that doesn't make sense in the Prius if you hit the break and the gas at the same time
The engine shuts off because if it doesn't shut off it will you know destroy the engine?
Mm-hmm, and of course that all fell apart
but i mean i don't so do they get their money back from the government since nothing was
wrong with their cars
which i didn't get it it's it doesn't make any sense to me that they would pay money
for something that wasn't even really a problem
you know i i i never believed much of it anyway because
i have accidentally pressed my accelerator
I didn't drive through my garage wall or anything like that
But you feel like it done that's when you do it and if I could believe in on the car company after I've done
Probably 20 or 30 thousand dollars of damage to the side of my house, you know
I mean people are gonna do that. You know, they always want somebody to be somebody else's fault
And if Toyota wants to reclaim their money, do they go to the government at this point or they go to GM?
Where do they actually go?
Where do they go?
I think just got transferred.
Although I say that, do you remember that horrible 911 call that came out during all
that?
It was like a 25 years bad.
That was really bad.
Of the California Highway Patrol and they were in a runaway car going down the freeway.
I guess what we should clarify. The finding was that there were no faults with the
electrical systems in Toyota cars, but there still may have been problems with floor mats
getting stuck on the accelerators or sticky accelerators. Right. We had a at a car one time
ahead, the opposite problem, that it would not stay up at speed like you'd be on the highway,
driving at 70 miles an hour and just pressing the accelerator and all of a sudden it would just lose
Speed like you just the drivetrain just stopped working or something and we would have to just pull over and wait in the side of the road until it just decided to start working again
That's awful. It was really strange. It was just like
I can't go with that. It was a Saturn
I guess went out of business. Maybe maybe I'd have a few other how long would you have to wait?
It's like five minutes or something
It was totally random.
And it would just, you know, you'd be driving
around 70 miles an hour and then you'd just be pressing the accelerator
and suddenly you'd see the needle going down to 50 and 40 and 30
and then you'd have to pull over and wait.
Did Saturn go out of business?
Well, yeah, you know, there were one of the brains that got shut down
and they were a lot of different things.
There was talks that Penske was going to buy them
but I think that fell apart.
Yeah, and we still have a Saturn.
And when we go to have a service done on it now,
like just regular maintenance, whatever,
it's really weird.
It's like you're like a second class citizen
and you go to the dealership to have like signs.
It's like all the good cars here
and it's like, oh, that other junk that we got,
we don't have you guys come around the back.
So where do you go for service?
I've been going to, it's like now a other junk that we got rid of you guys come around the back. So what do you anybody see? Where do you go for service? I've been going to it's like now a Cadillac
dealership essentially, but it was a lot of it was like a GM
You know just a general GM dealership up on 183
Matt was always the guy who
But this is where Bernie's gonna talk about how I'm very brand loyal
He I always said he was part of the cult brands like if there was like a brand
It wasn't about how good the car was,
but just like some other level that they were layering on top of it,
like it means you're smarter or brighter than everybody else that you have this brand.
And Saturn was one of those. He was a Saturn loyalist.
He's also a Mac loyalist. And in the 90s, I thought, wow,
this guy is using Macs all the time and driving a Saturn.
Both these companies are going to be at a business in the next two years.
And I was just, I was half right, you know, Saturn went on a Saturn. Both these companies are going to be at a business in the next two years. And I was at half-right, you know, Saturn went on a business. But now everybody that I know
uses, you know, a Mac. I'm just waiting for Apple to make a car.
Then done. Somebody did a funny post online if Apple made bottled water.
It was pretty funny. They have the largest market cap of any like tech company, right?
Apple? Yeah, it's a huge. They had the second largest market cap of any like tech company right Apple? Yeah, it's a huge. It's the second largest market cap of any company period.
Only second to X on now.
That's crazy.
You know, it's a market cap.
Market capitalization, how much your company is worth based on the number of stocks.
Stock price, time number of stocks.
It's like basically the price tag for the company.
If you wonder by the entire company, the total valuation of the company.
I saw an interesting article the other day that talked about profitability by employee.
Right.
And how val...
You guys saw that one, valves worth two to four billion.
And that means with the amount of employees they have that like each employee is worth
like eight million dollars or generate eight million dollars out of it.
And Apple was something like six million per employee.
Yeah, big I think.
And Google was way less.
Was it?
I don't remember what it was, but apparently they're the company that makes the most per capita per employee does that make sense? Sure per employee
Anything you just say that I like that kind of stat. Yeah, it's interesting. That's a very cool stack
It's like she talks about the profitability of a company. Yeah, we're right behind valve. We're so close
Yeah, like each one of our employees generates about eight dollars in revenue
It's pretty awesome. Literally. I mean, we have to empty our pockets.
It's revenue generating day.
We put people on the skyjack and hold them upside down
and empty their pockets out.
All right, time to report Q4.
Everybody bring your checkbooks to work.
But the thing about Valve that I like
is that there's a private company
show that not a public company. The thing about we talk about the market cap of Apple,
it's still based on the price of the stock, which at the end of the day,
it doesn't really have much to do with the company.
I mean, that's a little bit, but it's crazy now because the actual market cap for Apple
will swing based on how people react to their numbers.
And they'll say, well, we had our most profitable quarter ever.
And someone, they'll say, well, Wall Street will say,
oh, well, we knew you would have the most profitable quarter ever,
but it wasn't as profitable as we hoped it would be.
You didn't trick us with extra profitability here,
where the stock is going to go down.
Yeah, so then you can actually see the market cap
of the company drop, or they have a massive big run,
like let's say they have the iPad 2 and the iPhone 5 all in the same quarter
And then that quarter is over and everyone then starts to sell
Because they say, oh well, you know, the good quarters behind us even though they've been the most profitable all time
Directly worth less at the end of that quarter. Yeah, they're always concerned with growth
Like you're doing great now. What are you gonna do in the future? But even like it's yeah, it's like future growth
It's not even like previous growth like like growth you're going on through right now. It's like well. What do you got six months right now?
Yeah, I'm just imagining Joel listening to this podcast later and going no guys you get it all
All right next plan everything because Joel's like the guy who spends more time here than anybody else. Yeah, looking at the stock market and
Analyzing the financial industry and all that. I'm not listening to Joel anymore. Nope. I'd compensate with Joel the other day
Where he got a you know, he had a Netflix. Nope, I had a conversation with Joel the other day where he had a Netflix.
No, he had a momentary weakness where I guess he had a loss that day or so.
Who knows what happened, but he was like sell everything in my gold.
Moved to the Montana.
I had that conversation with him too.
After a year or after two years of recession and Joel going, listen, historically it's all
going to be okay.
Just keep pumping money into the stock market.
It's going to be fine.
I'm telling you, it's going gonna be okay. Just keep pumping money into the stock market. It's gonna be fine, I'm telling you.
You're gonna work out well for you.
I'll get over here from Joel Hodge started
every conversation over the last two years with,
historically.
And then he had that one day and he goes,
now stock market's gone to hell.
It's gonna crash and burn.
Nothing's gonna be worth anything.
You know what, in the next day,
he was back to his old way of,
oh yeah, everything's fine.
You know, it's, you know.
You know what makes me not trust the stock market?
It's such a weird thing.
It almost seems like a shell game in so many ways.
Seems like, yeah.
I mean, like the New York Stock Exchange, right?
Were all these stocks are traded that we're talking about.
For the most part, you know,
not talking about NASDAQ and the Tokio,
what did the NK index and all that stuff.
NK, yeah.
The New York Stock Exchange itself
is a publicly traded company.
Yes.
What would happen if investors decided to devalue that stock with the stock market itself go away and then all the other stocks that are on the stock market?
What would happen to them?
They'd move to another stock market.
It's just bizarre.
They just merged with a stock exchange in Germany.
That's right.
And so investors didn't like it,
and they went down like 3%.
Right.
Yeah.
If you're just tuning into this podcast,
you may have found it in the games and hobbies section.
But as I want to say, we have general misconceptions
about all categories of all.
Yeah.
It's only we can be incorrect about all kinds of stuff.
I think stock market qualifies as games and hobbies.
Speaking of, we're one of the internet, so obviously we're experts. We had to go into the games and hobbies category because there's no
There were the least amount of NPR
Podcasts in the game and hobbies section to be
To beat us every week. What is the fucking deal with that? What is the what is the deal with that?
Because now we're like top rated in the games and hobbies hobbies action now I hope the government fucking cuts funding for NPR
I'm gonna kill those podcasts. Well I feel like I'm being taxes to
somebody I know that's what I'm saying. So these taxes right man I mean you're a
socialist. Oh I am. How does this work? How does NPR get your money? Well
they only get a very small portion from the government actually. They do those fun drives.
The rest of it comes from listeners like you.
That's right.
And the listeners supported radio.
I think we find out where all the girls got cooking money.
And the, they always have those bumpers to something Duke Foundation.
MacArthur Foundation.
MacArthur Foundation.
They have the Bill and Millenic Gates Foundation.
Yeah.
They like the dude with the sign.
Except somebody should look us up and see if I'm wrong.
I think it's like 95% private donations.
They take 95% of stuff from private donations or from charitable foundations.
I think so.
Fucking sell outs.
Hey, speaking of those drives, Gus Spring Drive starts I think next week.
So that's a week not to listen to the NPR.
So are you choking a debt over six six months what is going on with you?
I don't know what's going on you's like one slow choked to death for Jeff the worst
I had to leave the room to clear my throat. Did you really? Yeah did it work? No
I don't know what's going on with my head. You know I feel bad because you're actually gonna be out of the podcast for a little while
Oh, yeah, he's busy with other stuff for a while. Roost teeth. Yeah. So yeah, you're going to be out of the podcast for a while.
Yeah, I got just got a lot of stuff coming up. I'll probably miss four or five that
are the next six or seven podcasts, which isn't a reason to stop listening, everybody.
You can still listen to Gus and Bernie and those guys. They're also interesting.
Yeah, please listen and tell us what we're not with that Jeff. I look forward to that.
We'll have Joel sit in and know we'll reclassify the podcast in the financial category.
I'll, I'll try to sneak in from here in there but I definitely
won't be able to attend the next week's podcast is there anything that you
would like to say now?
predictions for the next week. You should just read through a list of predictions
and I'm going to predict that the iPod Nano will get or the iPhone Nano will
be announced. How about this? Let's just look at it and it'll be a sub two hundred
dollar no contract phone. How about this? Let's just look and it'll be a sub $200 no contract phone
How about Oscar predictions?
King speech wins best film I
Haven't even seen it. Okay, I saw King speech last night. Oh, did you I did and
I thought it was I thought it was a good movie. I'm just I'm so screwed up now from shooting red versus blue for nine years
Are going to nine years is that when we shoot Red
versus Blue we basically have eight characters that all look the exact same. They're just different colors
and some of them are really only slightly different colors. Sure. And so it can be hard and there's no
mouths moving or anything like that. So I've always shot it in a way that you can tell who's speaking
just by where they are in the frame and who they're talking to, based on the composition. What is the friggin' deal with the King's speech
and the composition of the shots in that?
I mean, they have like 50% headroom on some of the shots
and everyone's on the left side of the frame
while they're talking, Matt, what is the point of that?
I like to, I thought they were trying to close off the space
intentionally to make the characters seem like
they were having a hard time communicating.
Well, it conveyed it visually to me.
Yeah, but then they applied it later like I get what you're saying.
And then when they go to the end and some things are progressing in the story,
they become more full-framed at the point where they are,
their whole head is like cut off by the frame and there's a greater sense of value.
It is a lot of very unusual framing for sure.
Yeah, but then they frame that brother that same way towards the end
Which it doesn't you know, I don't know what they were going for there because he's not having trouble communicating or anything like that
I get they kind of
Well, isn't she wasn't what about the subject wasn't his brother and not see sympathizer?
No, well, I think historically I just don't think they knew what Hitler was like until kind of he
started marching across all of Europe. Like they thought of him as I think the
least of ways presented the film they refer to hair Hitler quite a bit and
they it's just like another diplomatic guy who's like oh he'll take care of
that he'll take care of each year that's what he does. How how did you see it? Is
it on DVD already or? No I saw it at the theater across the street. Oh, okay.
In an empty theater, it was just me and my wife.
There were playing that here at the South Park Meadows?
Yeah, South Park Meadows, right across the street from us.
Right, okay.
Hey, I thought it was good.
There's so many movies now nominated for best picture.
It's like really just an effort to see all of them.
I'm just like...
Fucking ridiculous.
I just can't go see all those movies.
Two, 10 movies is too many for me.
By the way, I just want to say this,
you're all guys, right?
Yeah.
You're out in your date with your wife.
It's our, we couldn't go out on Valentine's Day,
so we went the day after Valentine's Day.
Yeah, it's yeah, sure.
So we walk into a movie theater.
There's no one in the movie theater but us.
A little bell goes off in my head.
Hey, this is pretty awesome.
Hand-dops.
My wife says, hey, this is pretty awesome. And I'm like, yeah, she goes, we can put our feet up.
There's a mental disconnect between me and my wife, I think, of what an empty movie theater means on Valentine's Day.
That's not code or anything, right? Just put her feet up.
You know, one time, when I was in the sexy movie.
Yeah, when you do that, can you stutter?
Look at that.
When I was in high school, I saw...
LAUGHTER
What I was in high school, I saw a fire walk with me.
Got the dollar theater.
We had a Twin Peaks movie.
And I was the only person in the theater.
And about 15 minutes in, some guy came and sat three seats next to me, and I was just watching the movie, and there was a nude scene at one point in the one-eyed jacks bar, and I looked over, and the dude was just jacking off like crazy right next to me.
I had to leave, I was like 16, scared the shit out of me.
Wow, really?
Yeah.
It was going to town. So, I don't know, I was all like, why do you have to sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there and sit there like, why do you have to sit there and see if it's in the seats?
We formally met ten years later.
Yeah, and town love.
He was wearing a gray blazer and a red bow tie.
Paul Rubens is going to be in town for South by Southwest.
Oh, is he?
I've really been the whole thing about this P.B. Herman was caught in an adult theater in a compromising position.
And he swears to this day that it was a complete misunderstanding that those cops just really
fucked him over.
Yeah, I heard them talking about that recently and about how...
Wouldn't you say that too?
Yeah, I would.
I would.
Just like the reporter who got went and got checked out for a stroke, I would be exact.
We were talking about that.
Hey, do your brother.
Hey, do your brother.
Hey, do your brother.
He's not funny. They were doing it. They were burging it.
It's not funny. She had a stroke.
She went to the doctor under suspicion that she had a stroke and then went home that night.
They don't let you walk out with a stroke.
I'm pretty sure she had a seizure or something though.
She may have died from embarrassment.
We're waiting for the autopsy.
You know, I wanted to try an experiment because there's a thing that can happen.
I don't know if you guys have ever dealt with it before where if you're listening to yourself in a monitor or near piece and you get out of sync with that if that thing ends up like
You know half a second delayed or a second delayed and you're hearing your own echo
It can really kill your ability to talk which is something that's really confusing. Yeah, it can happen
But this reporter that we're talking about if you haven't seen it was she was reporting on the Grammys and she just
Within half a sentence
Her ability to speak it's called aphasia, I believe right?
Sure. Yeah, anyway, it's a common symptom of a stroke is if you have a stroke in the speech center in your brain
So then you can't make any sense whatsoever. Well, it's not that she couldn't speak she couldn't make words. She was making noise
As you may have been communicating in a language. It's been dead to us for thousands of years. I'm gonna be an Esperant you
But no, she was she was talking she was saying words. They just didn't make any sense. I don't know
It was it was something it was it was like nonsense. There's like something out of a
No, a horror movie's just like some demon possessed her
And I know it's no easy making any jokes because if we make any jokes about this we're gonna get a lot of hate mail
I just want to point out something though. Okay
What she said what what she did was funny. She made funny sounds with her mouth. Yes, she did
She did that that was the being in that moment that was funny and a lot of people found it funny
Then it's just thought oh she had a stroke. This is totally inappropriate, but it seems weird to me that
Wait, it's okay to make fun of somebody for just fucking up and essentially just being stupid
and being a dumb person the whole life,
like crippled through life, because I'm dumb.
That's okay to make fun of,
but if they have like a momentary physical malady,
I'm not saying that right, man.
Malady.
Malady, thank you.
Then all bets are off and you can't poke fun at it, I guess.
That's unfair.
So what a killer and now we're moving on to something else.
I guess.
But I did actually find, you could post as a link dump.
I could find an instance where that had happened before.
Oh, really?
Yeah, there was a news reporter.
There's a newscaster who was, I mean,
literally almost the exact same thing.
She's reporting on like election results
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and she gets the word Ohio,
and then, Bop, she can't talk anymore.
And she goes on for like a sentence and a half.
And apparently she had a history of seizures where she had like his little tremor in her brain essentially and it just killed her ability to speak for very
40, so you know you have to say that to me. I'm gonna do I'm gonna cost them a link to damn dump damage to Gus here
What's the funniest news reporter clip you've ever seen?
I think it's the the the old dude arguing with the anchor when he's doing the on the spot interview
That's a pretty good one that they made like 17 SNLs after yeah, I
Like the Russian lady who in passes out in the middle of her her spiel and then the set falls on it
That's a good one and then the guy looks over and just keeps reporting
I found that video it took me forever to find that video after this thing with this woman at the Grammys.
Oh really?
Because you and I saw that back in like,
a long time ago.
2001 or something.
Yeah, that was the old video.
That was when we used to watch stuff on hardcore TV.
Yeah.
And the IGNs forums.
You know where I found the video?
Where?
E-bombs world.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, that was the only place that I could find it.
You gotta get a time machine on the internet
to see old videos.
No, I went to E-bombs world and then I had to go take a shower,
like a 40 minute on a shower. I know another good news when the the woman stopping the grapes. Oh, that's yeah, that's so great. Oh
See that's a good example that woman is hurt. It's
Watching you know she's hurt. She can't breathe
Got her wind knock out of her, you know
That's okay to laugh. Oh, yeah, it is cuz she's a cheater
Fucking cheater. I'm not a cheater.
Look at the fucking cheater.
Look at what you get.
Look at the newscaster seizure.
Oh man.
I'm only gonna find this woman from the Grammys.
No you'll find this one woman.
Her name is like Sincera Clarkson I want to say.
She's in Wisconsin.
Is there a way you can play that audio over this?
Yeah if I find it.
Should be the top link if you look at newscaster seizure.
Newscaster one word or two words?
One word.
All right, newscaster. Spanish newscaster.
Spellcaster.
But with news.
Newscaster.
Look at our Porter seizure.
Matt and Jeff talk amongst yourself.
So what are you working on this week, Matt?
Just my coffee intake. I noticed are you working on this week, Matt? Definitely.
Just my coffee intake.
I noticed that you guys are filming like,
and now we're at perinoly, perineally filming like.
He's got the audio.
He's got the audio here. But they claim in the effort to saw under T'Rachio and play Greenrich by health
Earth.
She's dying.
I mean, the brain is a crazy, crazy thing.
What is the hardest you've ever laughed at something you've actually found out?
I've heard somebody badly later.
I laughed, I got to admit, I laughed pretty hard at I got everything because I thought it was just a very pretty woman. It seems
very, very, just got super nervous all of a sudden. Right. It doesn't seem like there's
any kind of problem with her. Which is totally relatable. Yeah. Maybe the, the lady in
the squashing the grapes again. When, when Jack got robbed the second time, I'd very quietly
left for about the four days. So mad. It was. Well, now you've been robbed twice too. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it.
I'm not going to be able to do it. I'm not like a competition. Well, I feel pretty safe. I put I've taken steps
To ensure I got a moat
That flame throwers. You put a shotgun behind his front door tied to fishing lines. I open the door
Yeah, so weird you said I can exactly what I was thinking about
Is that what is that do we pick that up somewhere? That's the first thing I would do
I got the most serious fucking dog. It's like a loony-toon thing. Just a shotgun a chair. Yeah, and then tied to the door handle. I don't even know how it would work
Maybe awesome. Yeah, did I ever tell you about the time that I really pissed off one of my buddies in
College we live together
It was like we live in a big house and I was in a fraternity and one of the guys in the fraternity was a Jewish guy
And he would just you know you just rip each other give you to the shit in uh you know in college about stuff and it just gonna sound like it's
my excuse of making fun of Jewish people but that's not what it is at all. He went off to
a final because he had been studying for this final all night and so I went in and I went
down to long horned copies on the drag and I got there basically their empty waist sack
from their industrial hole puncher
So I got about three trash bags full of white hole punches the little dots
Okay, and I put those in mounds all over his room and I went or through the house and I got everyone's fans
Everyone's just you know room fans that they had because this was an air-condition
fraternity house and I put all the fans pointing at the little mounds of
Industrial hole punches everywhere and I strung up Christmas lights all over and then I had a somebody had a record player
And so I had a record player plugged in as well with a little mini Christmas tree on it all plugged in the one power strip
And then I had the power strip turned off on but unplugged and then I spliced a switch into an extension cord plugged into that and connected that to his door
And I also also had a tape player which was on play and then i spliced a switch into an extension court plug into that and connected that to his door
and it also also a tape player
which was on play
cute up to
Santa Claus come to town to the moment where it says you know you better not
out you better not cry and then they said i was upstairs for the city open
his door
all these like brrr you know came on
all this white shit blows out of his room on him and that the tape came on like
you better not proud you better not cry he went fucking bullets All this white shit blows out of his room onto him and the tape came on like
He went fucking
He went crazy he went really crazy and he uh he took a knife and like cut all
Cut all the power cords to everybody's fans that's how mad he was That's funny. It was like one of the greatest pranks of all time
Which I think is like a compliment if you go out of your way to prank somebody like that
He did not see it that way. I used to do this thing to my roommates when I was in the
army where you know those uh those little boxes you could get you probably still buy them that have
like a loop on it and you pull the loop out and it's like a little pin and then it makes the loudest
noise ever. It's for like women who in case they get pulled. So I was gonna try and rape them. Yeah
they pull it and then like half of the planet comes to save you.
I used to take those and tape it to the top of their door.
Oh my god.
And put the pin on a hook.
And so when they'd open the door and pop the pin out,
the pin would go flying in the room somewhere.
And it'd be dark, it'd be two in the morning.
And the noise is deafening and you can't be in the room with it.
And the batteries are less forever.
And so you have like, my roommates would always have their,
like rolling around on the ground with their hands,
covering their ears, like trying to find the fucking pin or anything that they can put in that
So if anybody wants to try that it's match me get the battery out of it works great
You are a evil bad person. I do about three times a week. Oh my god
What you get to me that never gets old. Yeah, no, never gets old
I remember we had that achievement race that I put those things in your house. Oh the yeah, that would chirp every five minutes
They'd make like a random beeping noise.
They're random beeping noise.
My wife cannot hear one of those chirps.
Like I know it's cycled through a few different kinds
that there's one of them that she cannot hear.
Like it's super annoying to me and she's like,
what is it on?
That's like the thing that they use to keep teenagers away.
Right.
You know, it makes you know.
Yeah, it was like adults can't hear that noise,
that it makes to you guys know I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
Is it the frequency before your ears get jaded?
I think it's when you're the most jaded.
It's like your ears are like, I can't listen to that,
I have a mortgage to pay.
I don't care.
But only kids can hear it so they play it
outside of convenient stores,
or wherever kids hang out, teenagers hang out.
Getting back to the break-in stuff,
I really feel bad for the person that
tries to break into my house now though.
In about a year when my dog is fully grown,
they're like, it's gonna destroy somebody.
Yeah, I got this special dog.
I don't know if you talk about the podcast.
I got a Neapolitan master.
Yeah, we talked about it.
It's a war dog and they don't bark.
If they send somebody breaking in in they sneak up on you.
Really?
Yeah, it's that's bread and tom, they were like Napoleon used them in battle and they
won't, they won't make any noise at all, they're very quiet and they'll come up and they'll
attack you from behind and the dog is all hedge, she's about 160 pounds.
I'm disappointed that the name comes from Napoleon because I was really hoping it was like
chocolate vanilla strawberry color.
Oh yeah.
They used to do this, they told you that eventually. Yeah, don't worry.
But we'll get a tattooed. They also used to do this thing where they would stick spikes
on the back of the dog and train them to run under horses and then of this rate, the horses.
Wow. That's what they didn't battle. That's pretty fucking gruesome.
I feel like I should record you saying all this. So when you say to me at some point in
the future, how come you're not coming over to our house for a break? I'll say because you have a
fucking 300 pound dog that sneaks up on you. Yeah. And it separates you. Yeah. See I would picture you
as having like a St. Bernard that has the. I had the St. Bernard. It was the best dog ever. Oh that's
right. I just I would like another St. Bernard but I was afraid that like no other St. Bernard will live
up to my previous dog Jupiter and I would just be comparing them to Jupiter all the time wouldn't be fair to the dog
That's a lot no, I can see that really really like that mental dude
That's absolutely mental you're saying if your dog died you wouldn't buy another version of what are the shitty
I'm never buying another shit too because I have the ultimate shit so already
Yeah, I mean you know like what are you just gonna be like oh my golden died all just replace it with another golden
Yeah, like this one's not as good as the other one was
God married life has changed you got so much. Yeah, he owns a little dog that you have to groom the dog is awesome though
Income what the hell happened?
You know and I do not have to groom and comb that dog someone grooms and comes that dog, but it's sure sells it me
Yeah, you're just a workable
Well season home grooming coming the dog no, you know how I knew what was the moment
when Gus was transitioning from angry, single Gus
to angry married Gus.
What was that moment for you?
I have a very, very clear moment in my head.
Right, I can't wait to hear this.
Okay, we were in the beauty office
because you had met your wife.
And I don't know if you were engaged at the time,
but you were going to be married
uh-huh and Gus shows up at work one day. Oh right. He has a little topperware container that I
don't even know existed. It's like the size of a tiny like thimble topperware size and he opens
it up and he's eating gummy bears out of it and I'm like what the fuck is that? He goes oh my wife
and he like shows me,
he's got a few of them.
My wife wants to make sure I have snacks at work.
So she packed me these snacks.
It's totally shit.
Oh, it's a nice tougher word thing.
How did I miss that?
You were sent right next to me.
I gave you a son.
Yeah, you ate some out of there.
I missed a block for our friendship sick.
You looked at the book, I have no memory of that at all.
It was like a fourth of a cup size,
little tougher word thing. I mean, you take the type of our home with memory of that at all. It was like a fourth of a cup size little Tupperware thing
I mean take the Tupperware home with you so that she could refill it with snacks
Right you work a plane when you're reading gummy bears
I go bears with a hand full. I can't. I don't have time to mess with you. I have a word container
I think one of the only memories I have of the Buda office is I was trying to eat healthy back then
At one point and I went to Whole Foods and I bought like an $18 little container.
It was a big container of trail mix because I thought I could snack on that and be healthy.
And I bought it. I had like a handful stuck it in my desk, went home for the day, came back to work
the next day and went in to get some and the container was gone. And then I started looking around
the office for it and I found it empty on Bernie's desk. He ate like 14 pounds of trail mix in one evening.
Awesome.
It was a very long trail that evening.
It was like the next day.
It wasn't like 6,000 calories on the trail mix.
I don't know how you did it.
It was easy.
You ate like a couple boxes of fig newtons once.
I have stick toodiveness.
I have also heard it of this I've also
heard but not seen Bernie fall asleep while eating a package of gummy bears
which is pretty it was a pretty neat trick. Yeah, we were in Seattle and
saying we didn't have a hotel room for some we couldn't get enough hotel rooms
they were all booked up for some reason and
it was me Joel and Bernie had to sleep in the same room. And Joel was like, we get to get back to the hotel.
I'm like, what's the hurry? He's like, I got, I got a full sleep for Bernie does. I'm like,
I just got to get back there. I got to get back there right now. So we get to the hotel.
And it's like all three of us at the same time, of course. And then Bernie starts, you
know, going through the mini bar
Finally we can't get this huge package of gummy bears. That's for like $60
And we you know turn the lights everybody's gonna sleep and I can hear Joel sign from bed
Like he's so angry that he knows he's not gonna be snoring and sleeping up for the next like four hours
knows he's not going to be snoring and he can come up to the next like four hours and then you can hear the crinkling of the package.
It's just like crinkling crinkling crinkling crinkling crinkling crinkling
snoring.
It's straight from crinkling to snoring without missing a beat.
I don't know how you did it.
Oh, again, at the sort of Ollie's sunnyny. And so basically, I think I was the latest
because I was just laughing at the snoring
and then it would be a, and then you'd hear it, Jolgop.
Oh.
I do have a superpower, though, which is I can fall asleep anywhere.
Like, when I was falling asleep there,
I was sleeping on the floor in the corner.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I will sleep anywhere, it doesn't matter.
If we're in a situation like that, I'll say, just give me a pillow, I'll sleep on the floor. I can. Yeah, yeah. Like, I will sleep anywhere, it doesn't matter. If we're in a situation like that outside,
just give me a pillow, I'll sleep on the floor.
I could care less.
Yeah, last time Gavin was here, didn't you all?
Didn't you test that?
That's right, yeah.
You would randomly come up to you
and ask you to fall asleep somewhere
and you'd fall asleep like in the recording closet
at the office.
Yeah, he said, he said, go to sleep,
like, he didn't believe me.
And so we were working on season seven of Reversal Blue.
And it was one o'clock, I think, on a Tuesday,
and he said, go to sleep right now.
I'll work on the scene, go to sleep right now.
He issued the challenge.
I was asleep within four and a half minutes.
It's one of those things where I'd say,
we should test this with time lapse of photography
to see how long it takes you,
but it's like, you don't even need that.
I mean, it's just like, you press record
on the video camera, and it's like,
Yeah, he'd be asleep before he got set up.
Yeah, I go see right now. That's it. Let's add yeah I guess you're right now make it some gummy bears then you go ahead
news yeah I think my wife has trouble falling asleep and I've never I've never had that
issue of having trouble falling to understand the process you put your head in the pillow
you close your eyes your sleep in 45 seconds that's the way it works yeah I I can also fall asleep
pretty easily I when I was younger I had trouble falling asleep but I love it that's the way it works. Yeah, I can also fall asleep pretty easily. I when I was younger I had trouble falling asleep, but I love it. It's the best thing in the world. I feel like you can
I when I fall asleep, I don't know how it works for you. I feel like I just turned my brain off. I just stop thinking. Yeah, that's it. Time to go to sleep.
Huh? Close eyes fall asleep.
Hmm. Every now and then I might not have. Fuck no, dude. Every now and then I might have insomnia or like, not even sleep for a day or two, but I do. I had daily insomnia from 18th from the day I joined the army until pretty much the day
I got divorced.
And I just assumed that I was a person with insomnia.
But as soon as I, my first wife and I got separated, I started sleeping like a baby and I've never
had a problem with that.
You know what?
Turns out, if I was in the army playing pranks on people with those rape whistle alarm
things,
I would be a very light sleeper too,
and try to avoid sleep as much as possible.
That was, we did a lot of bad stuff
to each other in the army.
That's probably why I had trouble early on,
because you didn't want me to go to sleep.
You don't want to be in,
like any of the first like 20 people.
How many people are like,
you're like in a huge bunk room or something, right?
How many people are in there?
60.
60.
God damn dude, the first person that goes to sleep,
the next day, they wake up with a Polaroid picture of somebody's dick in their mouth the next time
Which is it happens so often you'd be like what do they do now without Polaroid cameras like do they like
You like they just I don't know just to print out like they put on your Facebook page
Is that the main reason they're changing to an s-total policy?
I think we need more have more dick and mouth
in the last hotel policy. It's like we need more, have more dick and mouth friends.
You'd be like,
that was a complete advantage.
We don't want anybody to do that.
You'd be waking up in the morning,
like, you know, putting your socks on whatever,
and you just hear somebody go,
Mother fucker!
God damn it!
Not again!
And some dude who'd be just like standing there
with a, looking at a picture of a dick in his mouth.
You're gonna look or...
Oh man.
Oh man.
He used to have it constantly.
You know, I, I, earlier said that I was an
infotunity in college, and I was, I never dealt with
anything like that. I never dealt with any
hazing, any weird stuff like that. Nothing like your
stories from the army of stuff you had to deal with.
You know, I was just random anti-Semitic
pranks that we played with each other from time to time.
And but I was in high school. I was in theater, which is a
weird thing to go from the theater group in high school
to an infotainery college. But the ha group in high school to do for turning college, but
Hazing in that group was way worse way way way yeah, we had a
The Thespian society and when the pledges would come in I mean those the they were brutal I mean these are freshmen in high school and it was the end of the year and they were just they were fucking brutal to them
But now just because maybe you didn't get hazed that much in
In your fret I know there were some other guys in there that were hazing each other pretty badly
like there was
i think one of your guys his main prank that he pulled on people was just
to piss in their bed what they were going on we would talk with people i
mean that's a question you you know you just you play pranks are for screw with
people absolutely
to be a little bit pranking somebody
uh... and then
blame it on somebody else and they get the retaliation going in the wrong
direction that was the best we had a beach party where you feel the whole first floor with sand And then, and then blame it on somebody else and they get the retaliation going in the wrong direction.
That was the best. We had a beach party where we filled the whole first floor with sand.
And then the, the, here's the thing. The plunges set up the parties and cleaned up the parties.
But as a guy, I can see this is a good value because I'll set up a party.
It was a blast. I got to know everybody.
And then I never had to set up or clean it from another party for three and a half years after that.
Or like a six and a half years after that Or my case six and a half years after that not a single party
So that makes sense to me so the in that sense it was hazing where the pledges had to do all the work
Way to clean the house and we had to set up and break down the parties
But that's just like to meet an investment and that was no big deal
But the pledges were cleaning up and I was talking with the pledges and drinking while they're shoveling sand out from the beach party
And I said let me see what your shovels. I filled one of my buddies rooms up with sand.
The guy he's a doctor now.
I filled his room like two inches deep in sand.
And he came in and he goes, what the fuck?
I go, I told the pledge not to do it, but they,
because he was the, he was the man.
He was the president.
I said, I told him not to do it.
The way I one pledge lived in the house, he filled the guy's car with sand.
And it was like this endless battle.
And he was so pissed.
And I almost stayed out of it, almost got always got free.
But it finally came out that I was the guy who filled his,
filled his room with sand.
You looked the cruellest thing I've ever done in terms of pranking.
And probably what got me into filmmaking actually was in high school.
There was this kid that we hung out with that had a stuffed animal
that he still slept with.
And he was kind of like
he wasn't even really defensive about it, it was just kind of like his thing that he had a stuffed animal
and it was a whale, he called it waily and we took it one time, we got a video camera like we
borrowed a video camera from somebody and went around town just doing horrible scene things to this
like when the truck stopped and like dipped in the toilet, we took it to a McDonald's and had it like fried on the hamburger fryer
Wow, I mean like all can hopefully that was before the toilet. I don't think
And we videotape the whole thing and then left didn't like returned the stuffed animal
You know after like running it through the dryer or whatever we We're just going to switch to the animal and the videotape and just left it for him and
I don't think we ever he ever spoke to us.
Oh my god.
I did something but I really enjoyed the filmmaking experience.
I tell you you got the bug.
I could do this right here.
I did this thing to Rumea that I had once in the army who I fucking hated with a passion.
And so he was getting to reach stations and he was moving on.
And so the night before he left,
he, you have to set out your duffel bags and stuff. And then he went to bed and he had like, he had to get
up like four in the morning to catch a plane. And so I waited till he went to sleep and I very quietly
unpacked half of his duffel bag and then I pissed in it. And then I repacked it up for him and
re-locked it. And I'd never talked to him again. I know I hope he doesn't listen to the podcast Oh my god, you know I put you down. Yeah, his name was Dave
He was such a little cocksucker. Wow, so that was a meat knows you know prank you were just fucking with a guy
Yeah, no, I just yeah, I just fuck them. I've actually given up on some of my pranking stuff
I used to be much more I know sir
They don't we'll rent them in the 2 point O crowd. They're big in the pranking
They use that gust thing that gust cut out that we have and they're constantly setting that up to scare people
Matt would Matt would fucking prank me when he'd rewire my setup every 20 minutes for no reason whatsoever
But then we had an interview I'd go to show you know
I was MTV news came to see how we shoot machine. I'm trying to keep you on your toes
God that was the worst like that dude. What was that guy's name?
Sway.
Sway. I'm really sorry. Sway. It usually works. It was just an hour to figure out.
Yeah, you're supposed to. I swear we made a video yesterday.
God. Do you guys remember the awful conversation that Sway got in with the coffee shop worker?
Down below. Oh my God. The lady was trying to. I was there.
It was like, I don't know if you guys remember Sway,
but he's like, a black guy with like,
kind of like dreadlocks.
Big head.
And he had a, what do you call like the,
the barring kind of hat.
That's like, you know, and we're in small town,
buta, you know, and this, the,
she's very nice, but the white lady
who was behind the counter at the coffee shop
was trying to make conversation with him on his level
And it's like he's kind of like a you know kind of cool hip-dude from New York and it's like it was just like was not
Happening and she just kept pulling out stuff like I like your hat. It's very colorful. You people have the nicest hats
Yeah, you're very colorful. I don't mean that like you're a colored person
But you're colorful. I mean you know what I'm saying right and I love the hair
How do you do that? You know, I mean, it's like really just even just got worse and worse
I imagine that there's really no more embarrassing offensive situation than when you're a minority
With a white person trying to show you how they're not racist. Yeah, yeah, I actually apologize to him outside
He told another story. No, it was either him or
It was it was it was it was a could use no sway sway
Got they come twice I guess yeah, anyway that kid use guy was funny. I wonder what he I wish it looked him up And see what he's doing now
But he after he got the coffee and was like had to have this horrible conversation with this woman who was trying to show him how enlightened
She was yeah, and then basically embarrassing the shit out of him and he
just shook his head and took his coffee. Our office in beauty was really just an
apartment that was over some retail shops and there was three other apartments
there that looked just like ours so he just went to walk back up to our office
then walked in the wrong door that looked just like ours and walked straight
into someone's apartment and he said he walked in and there's this white lady in her kitchen looking to back in his eye. He said she was
fully clothed but she covered her breasts and her badge and goes, he walked in on her
in the shower. He covered her some up and he's like, oh no, no, he walked out. He's like,
man, I can't get out of his mouth. Oh, that's awesome. Do you remember that dude?
Poor guy.
That poor guy, dude, that poor guy.
He was my never-go-back attacks.
Oh my god.
Do you remember that dude? That dude Caduce, you were saying he was a funny guy.
The thing that was interesting about him, we were talking to him.
And he was about to leave MTV. This was one of the last gigs he was doing.
Yeah.
Before he left his VJ and we were asking him why he was going to leave.
And what was it because he turned 25?
Oh, that's right.
I forgot about it.
He was like, yeah, man, I'm 25.
I gotta go.
He was at the end of his contract, yeah,
and it was just like a Logan troll thing.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, just gotta get out.
And we were like, how the fuck does that movie review guys still get to be on the show
If you have to be if you have to leave in your 25
Who Kurt Loader and he was like talking about not Kurt Loader the other dude Chris Connolly
Is that a lot of my old guys? There's a bunch of there was several little guys and he was talking about how that was the like
Unhappiest dude on the planet
Allegedly I your state by the way. It's the best song I'm going to be coming to. It's the best song I'm going to be coming to. But it was allegedly.
I definitely, from him, I definitely got a Logan's run feeling from TV.
Yeah.
Once you hit a certain age in MTV, it's just accepted that, you know, you're jamming your
Palm Trans Clear and get the fight out.
Thanks for coming.
We're going to grind you up into a blood paste for Kurt Loader's drink.
And that's the circle of life in it.
Well, before we go too long, we should start thinking about wrapping things up.
I know we can never wrap things up when I say that.
We should.
Well, now I want to wrap it up.
Just because we have to talk about more stuff.
But one thing that I do want to mention before we wrap up is we wanted to talk about something we're doing in May.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
So we're ready to talk about it? Yeah, we are.
We, you know, we've done a lot of community events like RBTO and Cann West for the past few years.
Still in South Carolina. Million of them.
All those guys. And we thought that it was time for us to start one.
So this may put
what holidays at Memorial Day Memorial Day Memorial Day weekend which I believe
May 27th 28th and 29th we're gonna have a community of fan event here in in
Austin. Yep it's gonna be a small event. We can call it Rooster Texas RTX.
Something like that. You and you and Griffin have been working on this behind scenes for almost a year now, right?
Not that a couple months six six seven months. Yeah. Well last year we had another event at the Alamo to premiere the
first few episodes of season eight and that one really well
We had people coming down from all over just to go to the Alamo screening. Yeah, we have a guy from Michigan
The kingdom and so we thought
Yeah, it was a good test year.
This year, let's do something a little bigger.
So we're doing a full weekend at the end of May.
Gus, how can people get tickets to this?
Because we're going to do very, very limited.
It's very limited.
We're probably, we're just going to sell them through our store.
And we're going to open it up to sponsors first.
We're going to work all that out.
And hopefully we'll have those in the store, not today,
but soon.
It's going to be a pretty limited engagement, too. and hopefully we'll have those in the store, not today, but soon.
It's gonna be a pretty limited engagement too, right?
Like we're gonna cap it.
Do you know what the attendance will be?
It'll be about 200 people.
About 200.
There's a possibility that we may be able to extend
a screening part of it to a slightly bigger audience,
but then we have a whole weekend of events planned.
Three-legged race. Two hours of the office are on the table right now for the group. a slightly bigger audience, but then we have a whole weekend of events planned. Yes.
Three-legged race.
Two hours of the office are on the table right now for the group.
And then the big thing that we want to do is we're going to take the 250 people and
we're going to see 200 people.
200 people.
We're going to figure out a way to include them as part of a Rue's Chutees production,
most likely a Rue's Chute short.
And so we'll put them in that.
And that'll be fun.
So that'll be one of the days you'll actually be on the set of a ruchete production and joining us
So it should be a good time. Yeah, we're still hammering out a schedule
But we want to let everyone know given the heads up. It's because it's you know a little over three months away
but I guess check check the website will have updates on it and
You'll be you'll be hearing more about it in the coming months. Okay, so Gus if I'm a person. I want to go to this what should be my next steps?
I guess start.
Would you even start?
I wish to eat that.
I don't know.
You should start pricing out travel arrangements
if you're out of town.
So you're saying the weekend is set.
Yeah, the weekend is set.
Can you give me a ballpark of how much a ticket
might cost to the thing beyond the cost of travel?
We're gonna try to keep it low cost.
We're looking, we might sell the tickets for like 25 bucks each.
And that'll include, will that include like travel to and from events and stuff as well?
We are probably going to, if you want travel, we're going to have a shuttle service.
We're still working that part out.
If you pay an extra five bucks, you'll get to ride our shuttle unlimited for the weekend,
two in from our events.
Okay.
So that sounds like a baseline cost and there may be some extra additional options.
Yeah. That I can execute. Are we going to people always ask you?
If you want to get your own car, you can move around. We'll work on getting a good rate at a hotel.
I have to try to keep everyone in one place centralized. That was kind of a community thing
for people can hang out with each other. I'm only asking this because I know other,
like other people that want to attend are going to ask, are they going to be merged at the event
or anything like that? That's a good question. People budget to bring extra money.
We can probably swing that. Maybe we'll come up with a special shirt for the event or something.
Yeah, we will definitely do that.
Cool. So if I want to buy a ticket, I should just watch what?
I guess watch the front page of the site or watch my journal watch guys and
We will be talking about it in earnest in the coming weeks
I make a question which is we're talking about the watch feature on our website
Do you think we should change the name of watch to follow just so people have a clear understanding of what it is as they join the site?
Yes, watch makes percent to me. I does too, but I mean I'm just talking you know
If we're gonna use the language of the current society online
Follow seems to be that word. I don't like that
I never like to word follow either. I never follow seems physical to me
Like it's something you do like physically following people on Twitter. No, but see it would watch would make more sense to me
No, I think you're not okay. We're arguing semantic to what does things the way the world should be I agree
I think I think follow is more universally accepted than watch.
Yeah, there's another one we have to that is like that.
Like do you think we should change the word,
the name of mods to something else?
So let's clear what it is.
Well, we'll kick all of that.
I actually did a chat with the community
in Belondi's chat channel the other day.
And it was pretty fun because they had a lot to say about it.
And they're very specific.
Like they use the site for specifically
the community features, you know, and the other
things like even the podcast or the shows that we make kind of a secondary to their experience.
So they had very specific opinions about the month of website.
Well, if you have any feedback about like whether it should be watch or follow, make sure
email Jeff at roosterteeth.com.
That's G-E-O-F-F.
J-A-C-K at it.
She's going to go.
And let them know exactly what you think.
Send a pictures of your family, too.
He loves that stuff.
All right, is there anything else we should cover before we wrap up?
Why don't we tell people other events real quick
that we're going to be attending in the next few months?
Good call.
Let me pull that up here.
Yeah, I guess I shall let you do that, Gus.
So first of all, we're going to be down in Sydney, Australia.
Yeah.
It will be at Armageddon next boat in Sydney, February 26th, 26th and 27th, I believe, is when that event runs.
Yeah, we can have from now.
Yep, yep.
We'll be at Emerald City Comic Con for one day on March 5th at the 343 Industries booth
and PAX East and Boston, March 11th and 12th, I think that is.
10th, 11th and 12th.
Yeah. Now, I'll tell you right now, we're going to have a lot of stuff to show at PAX East. It's 11th, 11th and 12th, I think that is 10th, 11th and 12th? Yeah.
Now, I'll tell you right now, we're going to have a lot of stuff to show at PAX East.
It's 11th, 12th and 13th, actually.
Is it 11th, 12th, or so?
Okay, we'll be there.
We'll be showing some stuff.
We have a panel.
Our panel is on Saturday.
I believe at 2.30?
I'm also on a Gryfffowl panel.
I think it's 10.30 in the morning on Friday at PAX East.
And we also have an event at Megacond in Orlando March 25th. And that's all of our events through March.
Okay, there you go. We'll also be doing some stuff for South by Southwest, but if you're coming to South by Southwest,
you'll probably can come to read about the panels that were in for South by Southwest in the actual program there.
Okay, I know that doesn't apply to everybody. Yeah, I'll have to look that up and put on the events page.
Do you know how much of badge for South by Southwest cost?
$1100. It's crazy dude $1100 man. That is nutty
Yeah, and they sell out every fucking year. Yeah, they do
How glad are we gonna be when we're not downtown during South by Southwest issue?
Yeah, it's gonna kind of suck to not be able to walk and get free beer anymore, but yeah
It got so nice to have great afternoon trips to free beer avoiding the crowd is a big plus though
I really just won't miss having three bands playing
Our own relays right with the best was it was almost like a joke last year when that fucking band showed up
What was it was like all drums it was like four
Right, it was like everyone in the band played a drum the one I always think of is the the guy with the accordion
Oh the pirate guy? Yeah. The pirate eager.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay, well, let's go and wrap this up.
Oh, my phone's ringing.
Oh, you didn't mute your phone?
I did.
I did.
I must have unmuted it in my pocket.
Oh, the old one needs.
All right.
Well, thanks for listening, everyone.
