Hello ladies and gentlemen, we're coming to you today from the Zeppelin races like Jack Pershing's on the scene from that digitified super highway They lie The guys is coming and it's saying make make make he wants our candy he wants those mic and mic Hey, welcome to the podcast. I'm really glad Bernie is sitting here today And it would be like a fucking 45 minutes of that unfunny shit I don't know why you hated so much.

That's hilarious, dude. So one's the best of that ever. It's funny, like the first minute. It's funny the first 4,000 times. You hated it the first time he did boy. No, I know but but I Know you don't really he didn't rent it Ones of voice no, but the some Mr. Perky. How you doing? I don't find you feeling kind of gust today Yeah, I bought it a target for 1199

man Welcome back to Austin asshole tired Jesus You've been in the office about four days over the past two months so Yeah, yeah, I have and you're about to head out to Paxi's yeah, I'd like to point out too That this being in our company being out of the office automatically signals that you're not working or having a vacation Clearly that is not the case now I'm very tired. Well, we can have been very full vacation. That is not the case. No. I'm very tired. My weekends have been very full. Mm-hmm. But fun. But fun. I believe it. So how was the Emerald City Comic Con? You just wrapped that up. You're both of you just wrapped out of it. It was a lot of fun, man. That event, I remember one time looking at it, you know, because we obsess over events and

what events we should do and not do and all that kind of stuff. And traditionally comic conventions, pure comic conventions haven't been very kind to us. Right. Which is why with the exception of Comic Con, which is really more of a multimedia event. Yeah, it's not a comic convention. So there was like 25,000 people or something crazy there. And it was really fun. We got to sit in at the Microsoft slash 343 industries booth. They were showing off the Defiant map pack, and lots of kids were playing. I heard a lot of yelling behind me,

whooping and hollering, I didn't get a chance to play any. But yeah, we sat down and we just signed autographs and gave away some posters and stuff, and it was a blast. It was, it must be real nice to not have to like, set up rigging, organize, or it's totally different experience, just to walk in and have everything set up, and not have to like put all the t-shirts out and like yeah

Because traditionally when when an event starts like you know Like a pack cease for a when we go there Friday the second the doors open and people come in and you're like hey, what's up? You've already been working for like six hours. Yeah, at that point, you know And you're like or longer or longer you have an eight or ten day ahead of you. And the lovely people at Microsoft did that work. Yeah. And we were just able to go in and sign autographs and, you know, the crazy. Yeah, that was cool. And then I'll have to tear down with you in the night. Yeah, for example, you know, we have Pax East this weekend. I'm going to be, I go out on Thursday to work all day Thursday, setting up the booth so that we can open

first thing Friday morning and be good to go. And then once the doors close on Sunday, then all Sunday night. That's when it up. The real fun. Yeah. Comes in. That's where we, uh, I wonder if the, you know, guess you and I, there's something very important to our lives. That for about an hour period at the Sunday, at the end of an event, the most important thing on the planet is two palettes. And finding those two or stealing those two palettes. No, finding. Finding, sorry, requisitioning those two palettes. Yeah, we, it seems like that's the, that's the biggest deal at San Diego Comic Con.

Like other events, it's not as bad, but at Comic Con, it's, it's, it's really something else. Yeah, I think Gus was a, you and I who tried to track down palettes, maybe you and I Jeff that we're like, we're running along the loading docs. Yeah, looking for pallets That's what you do you start scouting about an hour before the event closes because the pallets go fast and nobody ever they're not I don't know that Yeah, I don't know how the palette distribution is supposed to work Yeah, they know that's supposed to bring them out well on a forklift from the back to the front and then like all the exhibitors Mob them there. Yeah, but if you're proactive you can go into the back and get it yourself off the loading

If you don't want to be to wait like three hours for that. Because that's a massive. Yeah. It's a, it's also kind of funny. This is reminding me when we were, when Matt and I were in Australia at Armageddon con, to see how different countries handle events, I, I unloaded Matt hadn't got there yet. So I had to do the, the setup, the majority of the setup myself. So I had to tear it on the pallets myself. And then you know, like in, in Comic Con or Pax or whatever, you just take your cardboard boxes and you just kind of throw them in front of your booth

and somebody comes by with a big trash can and throws them away for you. That people kept coming by and were like, what is all this trash doing on the floor? And so I started moving it over like as far away from me as possible to other trash cans. And then at one point I had to get rid of the pallets and so I didn't know where to take them because there was nobody around to talk to. So I just took the pallets and I stuck them next to other trash cans. And then at one point I had to get rid of the pallets, and so I didn't know where to take them

because there was nobody around to talk to. So I just took the pallets and I stuck them next to a trash can, and then I was folding some T-shirts. And I saw like two of it dudes walk over and they looked at, and they stopped at the trash can, and they put their hands on their sides. On their hips, yeah. Yeah, like confused.

And they stared at the pallets for a while, and the one guy turned to the other guy, I would love to know what they were saying. And he scratched his head and pointed at the palettes And then the other guy looked at the palette and kind of did a I don't know and they just stood there for a while and then They they walked away for a bit and came back with another guy and the other guy was like put his hands up like And I started to try to get smaller and smaller than my mood and then eventually after like five or six straight minutes of

Discussion like where these palettes magically appeared they they just like shrug their shoulders and pick them up and just took them outside. It's so weird. I don't know, I did something wrong there and I feel bad to those three guys, but I don't know what the right thing to do with you. Yeah, here, you know, like you said, when you set up conventions here, you just kind of put all your trash and pallets on in front of the booth and then people come by and they clicked all that stuff. Yeah, I also couldn't figure out where the hell, usually when get to an event they have you your tables and your chairs in your booth Mm-hmm, and that was not the case

I had to requisition tables and chairs in Australia and Probably the most devious and the dastardly manner. I have yet so far. I was very proud of myself and I apologize to the other booths that didn't have You were so proud of yourself. You texted to the other booths that didn't have to. You were so proud of yourself. You texted me. I didn't brave that international SMS fee. I did.

I was like, dude, you're the only person that will appreciate what just happened. That's fun. So we're never going back there again is what you're trying to say. I love it. So I guess you Americans right now, you know, we have, we've had a bit of a run of events and then we have Paxies this weekend and Megacondle later in the month, but then we have a bit of a low level events and then we have PAX East this weekend and Megacon later in the month, but then we have a bit of a low, a little bit of a travel until the summer. Yeah, then we have, do you want to talk about what we have coming up or should we just hold off? It's months away.

Yeah, I mean that does stuff just far enough away. You can look at the events page and then I can cut up on them. Comic Con and PAX and all that stuff. But yeah, in the immediate future, we have PAX East and Megacon to deal with. You just added one in London to our advanced page, right? Nope. Okay. We are in the final stages of working out a London event and hopefully that will be added this week. Okay.

But yeah, we'll be in London at some point this year. Yeah, actually I did a podcast with Jingajam, they asked me to come on and someone asked me when we were coming to Europe. And I was like, I have no idea. I think think we're planning something yeah, we're working on it So if that kid's listening, it sounds like we might be showing up. So there you go Well, all right, hopefully he was in the UK. So yeah, I don't know if they said isn't it? Central Europe is different right then yeah the continent versus the UK UK's part of Europe Most people say it is I consider it something different. I do too. I don't know why the Europe's tiny two

You can get from like England to Italy in like two hours, right? That's the most fighting word. That's the most joke. Anyway, to recap, Emile City Comic Con was fantastic. Microsoft and 343 were great to host us. We got to see a ton of people, a lot of people, a lot of people in the air, and all those guys. Luke was there, good old Luke.

Right. It's always a pleasure to see him. Yeah, we had some people bring by, some great gifts, like handmade gifts. Some fantastic gifts. And, uh, continued the streak that my daughter thinks it's normal to receive a gift a week. Yeah. And, uh, she's, I feel sorry for her husband or wife someday, like down the road. This would be like constant gift giving. She's going to, that person is going to be in for quite a shock when Millison is like, uh, it's Thursday and you have, I haven't

gotten a single gift. I've only had four days into the week. I'm not sure. Did I do something wrong in the marriage? I don't understand. So while you guys were out of town, I was watching your chickens. Your chickens are pretty awesome looking. They're great. They're really cute. They escaped on me one day. I would have just said you can leave them out, but I didn't want to have the deal of trying to round them up in the evening. And actually, I was going to let them out today because they've been cooped up for a few days. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's good to have.

They've been cooped up for a while. But there's this, our fence is only like four feet high, and there's this like black lab that lives behind us, and it's like getting interested in the chickens. And then you might be telling us to jump to fence. We had a terrible event where I they like to roost on the fence. Really? They can get up there. Oh easy. Yeah. They can get about eight feet in here. Wow. And sometimes I got to pull my trees. But like at night if I don't put them away early enough by like 9 p.m. they've already settled in on the fence and they want to go to sleep. And there's like six of them in a row. So you gotta kind of pick them up two at a time. And one night I was doing that.

And one of them was like fuck fuck you, and just took off, but he ended up, or she ended up going in the neighbor's yard, and their lab was out. And the lab started chasing it. And I was like leaning over the fence, trying to grab the chicken, and I couldn't get it. And eventually, the chicken ended up in the lab's mouth, and it just came up on life. And I had to hop the fence, go in, and literally pull my chicken's head out of the dog's mouth. And then, turn around and put that chicken in, the other chicken freaked out, went in the

yard and I had to go through the same process again. And it's like a chicken will run around and try to escape a dog for about 15 to 20 seconds before it lays down and decides to die. And the dog was ready to kill it. And he wasn't being evil or anything, but it's exciting for a dog. No, it's just because it was at night, like chickens get really dossled, and that's why you can pick them up so easily at night, because they go into this weird like slumber mode

even if they're awake, where that's like the time where you can like pick them up or do medication or anything like that. It's kinda like Jack and the normal day. Yeah, they did not want to get picked up when they ran out on me. Well, yeah, but you were in the morning, right? Yeah, it was in the morning.

Yeah, in the daytime, they'll run, but at night, that's when they're like really sleepy, so it's not a good time to escape a dog in there. Yeah, it was in the morning. Yeah, in the day time they're they're still run, but at night that that's when they're like really sleepy. So it's not a good time to escape a dog when they're. Yeah, it was pretty scary though, because I was like they were like literally 20 seconds away from dying, you know, you know, you clip their wings. No, no, they don't really try to escape. They're just they're trying to do something they try to escape. No, they just sometimes they they freak out and they they're stupid. They get confused. Yeah, they're very easily confused. But that's like that's the only time they've ever gone in that yard. I noticed you didn't do any fucked up shit in our house

No, I didn't have the energy. I wanted to but I started I feel I feel like Joel now But I've been suffering from a cold for like a week now. So I've been I've been I was Joel Joel has like super long cold That last for like months and I just didn't have the energy to do it try to remember Thank you You were so lovely to watch our chickens and our cast force. But try to remember, I do have one in the can waiting,

if you do fuck with this again. Oh, right, right. The best revenge possible. You just have a chicken in the can. It's specifically tailored towards you and the things that annoy you. Great. That I've been crafting over the tenure of our friendship.

And so. You know, I have an old roommate who lives in your neighborhood now. And another friend of ours who works by our also moved into your neighborhood. And when they used to work together, like all three of us used to work together, turns out they live one house apart.

Which means there's one house separating the two houses they live in. They also live right between Gus and I. Yeah, like they're like the halfway point. I've never been living in it. They're refueling station. Pretty wild. We should just put a like an igloo cooler

in their front yard. It's like very it. Yeah Time capsule beer. So what what did we miss while we were gone over the last month? Duke Nukem forever got a release date. Oh, when is it? I didn't see that May 3rd nice. I'll be checking that out at packs That's the the get now gear boxed. Yeah, Duke Nukem. Yeah So it only took what like seven no 15 years. Yeah, I saw I saw the the call out that gearbox put out that said if you ever were to Duke Nukem at any point, please let us know so we can include you in the credits. I thought that was pretty cool.

Yeah, although that those credits are gonna be like a phone book. Also, how would you be it's gonna be a separate disc. It's gonna be a two-disc game in one of them. It's like a disc. We should submit our names. We'd be like, yeah, of course we worked on a proof is wrong. We live in Texas. I work at 99.

The Portal 2 comes out next week. That'll also be playable at a Paxi-State. New Mortal Kombat comes out next week. Next week is Mortal Kombat? Yeah, the 11th, right?

Homefront comes out next week.

Yeah, but yeah, you're right. See see something big come If only there was somebody here who worked in the company whose job was to play video games I know when they come out. Do you remember the home front event? They threw it E3 where they had that parking lot you could park in for free across from the convention center

Yeah, and like what was all like North Korean themed and they had like barbed wire on everything Yeah, that's pretty crazy big. I need trouble for a they throw a baby in a dumpster or something No, no, no, that was like a level they cut from the games Okay, where you're supposed to put a baby in a dumpster and then defend it. Yeah, that's right But they got it was I think it was them teach Q got in trouble at a at GDC for having an event where they released a bunch of helium filled balloons That went up and then immediately fell right into the base And then game stop logos on them. Yeah But I think they say they said that the balloons

were like soy based, eco-friendly. So that's the seals. Before they degrade, they might choke some animal. Oh well, that's good times. Yeah, to do that in San Francisco. Like there's a few cities where you don't want to do something like that in San Francisco, I think we're pretty much near the top of that. Did you see someone recreated the uphouse with real balloons in a real house? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like something they use like 300 giant helium balloons and actually lifted a house off the ground. How high they lift it?

Pretty high. Like they they lifted it for a little bit and got it actually had a person inside of it. Then that guy got out and they raised it really high. Yeah, they went to South America or something. Like I took a nap and look up in another country. Angel Falls or whatever that was. No, it's for some new TV show on Discovery or something.

Did the house look like the same, did it? Yeah, it was the same sort of boxy house. You know what's funny? I guess that was not a very good marketing stunt because I know they did it, but I have no idea what they were promoting. It was a TV show, like I think it's like, can you do that or like, can it be done? Something that something like that. Yeah, maybe think of up. I mean, TV show like I think it's like can you do that or like can it be done something that something like that. Maybe think of up. I'm gonna go buy it up DVD. Yeah I have no connection with whatever they were trying to market but I bought a bunch of DVDs after that. Nice. You guys

haven't seen Rango yet have you? No I had just really good that. So number one at the box office. What was that terrible movie with Tofer Grace that his king? Oh, take me out tonight. Yeah. Oh, in that Kristen Stewart chick is also in it too. It seems like that's become a genre of movies like the 80s throwback movie. Is that one in hot tub time machine are very similar to me? That Tofer Grace take me out tonight. I haven't seen it, but also as a bugger in it, right? It's from Avenger the Nerds. Oh, I don't know. I think Howard Stern was saying that the other day. Yeah. Movie looks terrible. Yeah, it's like a lot of just like boobies and drug use and stuff. That's awesome to me. Yeah, I don't know why we're saying it's terrible. It's okay.

You've got booger in it and tits. Oh, dude, they were. Booger tits. It's like being in the 80s. It's like 80s. They released a new trailer for a fast five yesterday. Oh my god That looks so terribly awesome. I'm so excited. That's the new fast and furious. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, dude It looks great. Like there's like this load of the one-liners already. Oh, it's great. Yeah, so hey by the way I get some travel tips. Yeah Don't go to the Pacific Northwest in February without a jacket. Yeah, and also bring your socks. Yeah. Don't go to the Pacific Northwest in February without a jacket. Yeah, and also

bring your socks. Yeah. Let me forget socks. We're so out of it. I didn't bring a jacket and different than ring socks. I just brought like little like ballerina flats or whatever it. And I've got a cold. And Jeff brought, he brought a hoodie, but it's like made out of jersey material. It's just like a t-shirt with a shirt. She was a, she was so cold that her ballet moves were terrible. There were no offense. No, that was stupid. I feel like every time I go to Oregon, I get sick now.

We've got like permanent jet lag. Yeah, and right now. If I told you you keep traveling, eventually that jet lag goes around the world and comes back to you, so you'll get caught up. You just have to keep traveling, you just have to travel through it. Well, hopefully, maybe it'll balance out

and since we're gonna be going east to west, and then it'll all be good. You should map out your time zones and like see how much you swung back and forth. Or we should. I also, you know, we haven't done events in a long time, Gus. Aside from Comic Con Impact, Sympax East. And now we're doing this full push, the full push this year. I remember part of why I stopped wanting to do events because every single traveler at

an airport is an asshole. They're all dumb, they're all slow and they're all confused. It's like you go to DFW, if there's 10,000 people at DFW at one time, 9,940 of them have never flown before. Everything is new and exciting and like, oh my god, you could buy a pretzel? Really? Let's stop in the middle of the thoroughfare. I can get on a side right here in the airport. Yeah.

It's unbelievable. Look at these pillows. They go around your neck. I almost, I was flying back to Austin, you know, for the last week. And at the Seattle airport, I almost got a body, the full body scan. Oh really?

I guess they don't do it to everyone. They were like selectively picking people from the line and they picked the dude in front of me and the dude behind me, but not me. And I was like, are they judging me? They didn't want to see, like, what I've got, what I've got to offer. I like, no, we don't want to take the clothes off of this guy.

That's another thing. The whole, all the travel I've done, I have never experienced the pat down or the full body scan. Oh really? I just like business as usual. I got the bomb scan on the way back from Australia. But in January, I flew into DC, like, you know, why did you DC Reagan?

And no, I mean, just normal security metal detector. Now, if you fly into San Francisco, like you pretty much have to go through it there, that's the only time I've ever like gone through it. I didn't even see it in Seattle. Because, you know, if terrorists attack, they're gonna attack San Francisco over DC. Absolutely.

Well, it's because of the Golden Gate Bridge itself. Right, sure. Of course. Do you hear that they're trying to pass a law in Texas to make it illegal for you to be scanned in Texas at airports? Yeah, they'd consider it like some kind of a... It's like a violent... It's like a privacy attack. Sexual attack.

Yeah, sexual attack. Like they want to make it illegal for you. They do that in the care of you. They do that in the care of you, right? It was weird wording. I mean I assume it's for legal reasons. It's like make it illegal for them to like touch your

breast groin or anus area I think they specifically said like anus in the in the law, but you can still do the like the scan or whatever right like you can get No, I think that was part of it. Yeah, you couldn't be stand or pat down unless it was like like you had an incredible threat or something Well, I think that that's I mean, I deal because nobody wants to have that done But if all states I want to have it done. Texas is got so many guns and people can just go buy them anytime they want to. Yeah, honestly, I really don't care. It's a yeah, they want to scan me fine.

Oh, I've already been naked on the internet pretty much. So what's the point of that? I tell you what they did. They charged 50 to $100 per bag to check bags now. They're gonna be pretty upset when they check my anus and find out that that's where my wallet goes. And nowhere else to put it. I read an article, I got hope I can find it again now for the LinkedIn. I read an article this past week that said,

now as a result since airlines are charging for checked baggage, more people carry on obviously. And I guess that the transportation security administration say that's putting more of a strain on their resources. So they want to increase the fees associated with airplane tickets to accommodate them, having to x-ray, and go through more carry on. It was something like $650 million a year.

Right. I can tell you it's a huge deal. They basically, at least on American bag, you to check bags. They're like, we'll do it for free. I like at the time of the bill, we'll put it under the plane for you to free, please, which is there's no room on the plane.

Please, please, please. And they actually, I watched them do it a couple of times, like on the way out to Seattle, where they were just like, we're gonna check your bag and they'll be like, I don't want to check my bag, I'm like, I'm sorry, we're checking your bag. Nothing's more frustrating than seeing that person

getting on the plane with like a carry on bag and also a bag pack and a purse And it's like you're gonna put it all up in the overhead, aren't you? I know you're gonna get I know you're gonna do it people have carry-ons that are way too big. Oh, yeah Come on. Yeah, really skis and a guitar what the fuck are you gonna be doing on this trip? Good play guitar skid. It's an extreme car It's gonna be the in the 2016 Olympics They'll compete head to head against the by-a-flon

Right shooting versus keening guitaring with single wins, but yeah There's nothing worse than that though Like you see the person put both their bags in the overhead and they stuff their jacket up there too It's like people need that space asshole I tried to get everything in front of me usually Yeah, well, I usually if I if I'm carrying two things one goes in the overhead So you're you're that asshole No, no, no, no, no, no, no okay, like I put my one overhead, you know up there

And then I'll put one on my feet because that's what you're supposed to do Yeah, and then the worst is the people also who put the coats up there immediately Yeah, just wait till all the fucking bags are up there. Yeah, you could get a coat around that a lot easier Yeah, exactly. Well, I can see the coat thing being an issue But with purses they say that that can that's considered a carry on. Yeah, but you'll still see people who sneak on like a purse as well It's like you've got three things you got three things. Yeah, well, I still see people who sneak on a purse as well. It's like, you've got three things, you've got three things. Yeah, well I think they've gotten a little bit more strict about it, like I'm tearing over the intercom.

They're like, well, if you have a person, you better put it in your carry on if you want to consider it. So, man, I'm going to be worthless for the rest of the podcast because I cannot get guitar skiing out of my head. I'm thinking of tricks to hold the freestyle. It's awesome. I hope to God somebody makes a sport out of this. Then you have like, you know, you have your electric version, you have your acoustic version.

Yeah. That's just silly. God, you have to ruin it. You have to go there. Who's going to ski down, not with a cord? You're wireless. Get a multiple amp. Wait out.

Why do you have power? Amp on a sled right behind you. How would you go, like, the shoot lightning bolts at you to power your electric guitar? Get a multiple amp Why your power amp on a sled right behind you? How would you like the shoot lightning bolts at you to power your electric guitar and I I mean they have wireless amps What about I'm just giving not amps but they have wireless like pickups on guitars. All right This is starting to sound like Scott Pilgrim in the Floss its flare for you ever seen Scott Pilgrim. Yeah, unfortunately. Okay Oh, we watched if we finally watched the King speech But we sat on the plane and they kept interrupting it like every

Words and then we had like issues with them the headsets of error headphones. We had to share so we each only had In one ear in the middle of stopping us Which I feel I hear that's how the Academy screeners watch the movie. Oh my god Watched a wide screen movie squished to 4 3 and3. And then they had to, they ended up having to reboot at some point because they noticed that one of the monitors wasn't down. So people were complaining. So then they had to start the whole thing over again. But so then of course, like, I think it's time to the way those things work. So we were like, it took them like 30 minutes to get it going.

So then 30 minutes before it was over, it just turned off. And then they had to like, and I think it was going to cut into their television programming, like start with two and a half men or whatever. And so then they had to go through the whole it was gonna cut into their television programming like start with two and a half men or whatever and So then they had to go through the whole rig and we're all so it took us another 20 minutes to see the last three It was a four-hour flight and we barely finished the film. Wow. I was really good. I wish I'd seen it in the theater Yeah, at least you know on a screen that wasn't all fucked up during the Academy of War I was World War two movies by the way the Academy Awards. I was on World War Two in the Sputtle. Right before they did the World War Two movie. Right before they did the best picture award at the Academy Awards and it did the

final montage of all the movies and then they did you know and it was all with the King's speech playing during the montage of all the movies. I thought well there you go I just heard the speech I don't need to watch the movie now. Like that's it like that's the climax of the movie right? Yeah yeah that's totally good. Like Colin Firth is good. Yeah he's he's really good that whole cast is great. Jeffery is awesome and everything he does If it's good, you know, you can roll boat or for Colin Firth. Yeah, he's pretty good in that too Yeah, he did the thing on the plane where like when they come over the intercom while you're listening on their headphones It blurs and it's crazy loud and makes you rip your headphones off. No, that's happened to me a number of times We had such you like that. It was like really tinny and loud but you couldn't hear anything. Yeah.

The last flight I took when I was flying I was flying on United up to Seattle. There was a you could you could change the in-flight audio and one of the channels you could hear the cockpit communications. Really? Yeah. So like I just went to channel nine and I could hear like you don't you you're not only here you're playing communicating with air traffic control, but you hear all the other planes communicating with air traffic control. That's really cool. It was awesome.

I was like you know you know what altitude you are you know like what other planes are around you and where they are and how far away they are and you know like what runaway you're gonna land. It was awesome. I loved I was fascinated at the whole time. They had another kind of cool thing on that quantest flight to in from Australia where they have a tail cam, and you can navigate to a channel

that just shows you an above the plane view of your plane as it's flying. Really? Yeah. That's awesome. I was obsessed with that. I was convinced I was gonna see a Grimlin. I must have watched it for 45 minutes straight

just waiting for something creepy to happen. That's probably why they installed them. Probably. You can just grill them. They're grilling watch out. That's probably why they installed them. Probably. Just give them the Grimlin watch out. It was Grimlin Cam. It was either that or what's the same, but it was a top gear for the 15th time.

So I feel like we've been, the travel has dominated the podcast. Well, that's all that we've had going on. Well, it's been dominating our lives. That's true. That's true. Yeah, we haven't had, I mean, that's all we can talk about. We haven't been in the same office together very much lately. That's true. How have you been? We'll have hijinks to talk about after this weekend at PAX hopefully. We're not gonna have any hijinks, are we?

I hope not. I'm excited about the new convention hall in PAX East. Jack, anytime you ask people excited about something, I'm never excited about it. Like, going to you. So, are you gonna say, is Gus excited? No. Gus is not excited. I think he was looking at Jeff when he said that I was I don't think anyone expects no No, everything's about me Gus you excited about Thunderbolt on the laptop Gus shed me the Thunderbolt port he is funny because his screen saver is just the Thunderbolt icon That's all I was under his desk last night and just saw this Thunderbolt logo bouncing around It's also what I called my laptop. It's also called Thunderbolt. I uh, I have so much laptop in me right now. Like Gus was showing off his laptop to me this morning. I have the most recent revision before the refresh and he was telling me that benchmarks put his computer three times faster than I was.

So I want to flush mine down the toilet and get a new or just pretend to spill a coke online like some of them. So I can get any laptop. Do you really think I need to pretend to spill? That's a good point. So yeah, despite Bernie's objections and criticisms, baseless criticisms, I went ahead and bought the laptop. No, actually, I got my laptop back. Is it keeping your desktop company, is that what he said? Yeah, they're working together. And then, you know, this week,

and we have our Pax East panel and presentation, and he was like, hey, are you taking your laptop? We need something to present our videos on during the panel. I was like, there you go. They're like, I'd like to, but this is my personal laptop. I don't know if it's a pro. I can show them off of the desktop I bought for a video. You should rent laptops laptop time to Bernie. Like I can contract this laptop out to you. That's gonna be $75. It's a very reasonable rate. Actually, you have to use a Thunderbolt. Then it's skyrocket. That's where be $75. It's a very reasonable rate. Actually, you have to use a Thunderbolt. Then it's Sky Rockets.

That's where they get you. No, I finally got my laptop back. Should I get into this store, you think? Yeah, I think it would be awesome. Alright, so about... Do we have a vote in this? Alright, cool. No, no, no, no, we gotta get closer.

Go ahead. So, just over a year ago, my parents' house was robbed, and then a week after that, we gotta get closer. We gotta get closer. Go ahead. So just over a year ago my parents house was robbed and then a week after that it was robbed again And I'm sure avid podcast listeners will remember. Yeah, there's a group. I would totally rob Jack. No, yeah Can I tell you how much secret laughing there was going on behind your back for that process? If you know it was the it was the back there that process. I don't know if anyone was being serious. That was the immersion shoot, the inventory shoot. It was one of those. Oh, right, right. That was when I got robbed the second time.

And that was the first, wasn't it? No, that was the second time. The first time I was coming back from a trip from Canada or something, that immersion shoot, if you were there, that's the madness I've ever been. I had to go sit in birdies truck to laugh. I was like radiating anger. You were fucking sure.

I was just so mad. I had to sit away for about 45 minutes. Anyway, so long story short, well this will be a long story. Anyway, I changed my passwords on everything that day because I left my laptop at home because we were on location. I changed my passwords on my email, on my internet stuff, from where we were shooting using Gus' iPhone or something. And what we did was we set up a thing, it was like, well, I had my mail open on my laptop

and I hadn't turned off my machine. So Gus set up something where basically any time a bad password would hit the mail server, it would track the IP address of where that came from. And initially we got it logged back full of like my phone and a couple other items that I was checking that was getting wrong passwords. Oh legitimate device to be updated.

All stuff. And then we had one number that was a little bit weird. And so we sent this number off to the police who were investigating my case. And after about three months, they finally said, we have a subpoena. After explaining to them what an IP address is. Yeah.

Austin cyber crime division isn't too solid. But anyway, after some time, they finally got a subpoena and went and went into this person's house and found a bunch of my stuff. And a bunch of other stolen stuff too. And it turns out the guy was actually already in jail on a probation violation for a misdemeanor probation. And so basically they charged him with a bunch of robbing other stuff. And so then over the next few months it was a bunch of dealing with this kid and where

like actually I got his name, I won't share it on the podcast, but we found his MySpace account and tried to figure out as much as we could. Turned out he had very nice parents who were very rich and it was just the kid being a jerk off asshole. Terrible taste in music though. Yeah. So he didn't do it either way. No, he was just you know Robin Houses because he's bored and so ultimately that sounded so gross. I should aim away from the mic. Do you know if he was an RVB fan?

I don't know. I don't think so. No he was a pothead fan, asshole fan. But so he probably liked you. Anyway, so after all this time like we're able to start tracking out some stuff. We found We didn't find my Xbox's, but we found that laptop like we found an old laptop He still to my laptops found like both the laptops the second laptop We actually found because I called up Apple was asking for my serial number of the the one I got stolen They said yeah, we don't have any laptop registered under your name, other than the one you're currently using. And I was like, wait, wait, so someone re-registered my laptop under their name?

They're like, yeah, I was like, can you give me that name? They're like, well, we can't, but if you have a serial number, we can give it to a police officer. And so I was able to track through old email, find a serial number. And then they're like, it's registered, it's not under your name, though. So have a cop call back to the subpoena

and we'll give you that name. And so they did a cop did that. And they found the other guy got my laptop back so that guy is now suing the same kid or selling him stolen property. Yeah that other guy just bought the laptop. He didn't realize it was stolen. He bought it off Craigslist basically and so that's so lame. Yeah and so that'd be so pissed dude. Yeah and so and so anyway so I got my laptop back but I'm still missing my Mac Pro which is like the one that had like eight years of photos on it and stuff like that. That's the one thing I'm still missing.

And my camera is still missing. But that's the thing that sucks, right? The photos and like, I had like videos of like the actual property stuff. This is gone, you know? By the way, I've video- Through this whole process, you're complaining about the cops and this whole how long and arduous as processes.

You've got like everything back, but one, I can't get the cops to return like calls about our break in No, I did I essentially did all the work for these police officers things I mean thanks to Gus like we're able to do pretty much everything for them Aside from like going to the guys house and being like my stuff in these in this hall somewhere You know like we couldn't do that legally. Yeah, we did everything we legally could you know We're there were times we hit roadblocks. You needed subpoenas and you know We handed off all that stuff

It's just that you have to be the police to get them to do it. Yeah, yeah, you know, there were times we hit roadblocks, you needed subpoenas, and you know, we handed off all that stuff. It's just, it's just that you have to be the police to get them to do anything. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's kind of funny. It's like, your laxed, daisicle security ended up saving you. Yeah, honestly. Because you didn't have a password on your laptop, which allowed you to catch this guy. My, like, adherence to good security practices fucked me because I had a password, nobody could ever get to that point for me.

You know, I saw a video the other day, and I did have been a DEF CON presentation where some guy basically gave a don't fuck with a hacker's laptop presentation where someone stole his laptop, but he had like screen sharing and was like snooping all the traffic and pulling his data back off of it, and like got this guy's like online dating profiles and like naked pictures of this dude, and like all this stuff and gave like a long presentation showing how he did it. Man, can I make a plea to the world to,

if you're not professional, don't take naked photos of yourself. You shouldn't everybody have learned at this point. Yeah, I'm, she's, also, come on. Well, if you're gonna do it, I mean, be resigned to the fact they're gonna get out. Nobody wants to see you. Yeah, like, or me. Kestin, yeah, he just says cardboard cutouts. Yeah, if you're gonna do it. I mean be resigned in the fact they're gonna get out. Nobody wants to see me or me

Yeah, he just has cardboard cut it. Yeah, I've got a cardboard cut out of me naked on my desk So really you're going somewhere. All right, so the worst part was though this kid He went and sold a bunch of stuff at pawn shops all around Austin like three different pawn shops Including stuff like a microphone that exactly matches the description of the one I gave But I didn't have a serial number so I can't say that it's mine and stuff like that like a camera that exactly matches the description of the one I gave, but I didn't have a serial number, so I can't say that it's mine. And stuff like that, like a camera that, you know, he sold a camera that is obviously mine, but I didn't have a serial number for it. And it's like, even though he, like now it's all been said and done, he's actually been

convicted. He's, he's a, so was that the point of the story he got convicted? He got convicted. Okay. And so any, he's on this, he's on like a six year probation now and, is he in jail? He's not in jail because he was, that's a, that's, that's, he, he wasn't jail. He got out, but he's on this, he's on like a six year probation now. Is he in jail? He's not in jail, because that's a jail. He wasn't jailed, he got out, but he's on probation if anything happens.

He's paying my family money now to cover all these costs and stuff. But even though he was convicted, all the stuff he still has at pawn shops, it can only be sold. And like he can still claim it is his. Like in my opinion, if you are convicted of a burglary, anything at a pawn shop should be pulled

off immediately. Is that stuff still at the pawn shop a year later? I'm sure it's all gone. Yeah. Because the moral of the story is, you know, people listening should write down their serial number. Don't put a bit of safe that can be carried out of your house. Yeah.

Store them somewhere, you know, online, like a cloud storage or something. Yeah, I've got all my serial numbers on a Google doc now, where it's like, I can access it from anywhere, and like as soon as I buy something with a serial number, I write it down inside something. Yeah, I've got all my serial numbers on a Google doc now where it's like, I can access it from anywhere and as soon as I buy something with a serial number, I write it down inside there. And so that's huge. And also password protect all your computers, just in case, you know, like, or don't, that's for sure.

I mean, yeah. I don't know what the moral of that story is. That's kind of ambiguous. Like you, I guess, your data, I mean, what's more valuable to you? Like getting your thing back or making sure no one else gets to your data. Yeah, absolutely.

If you don't have anything like important or crazy going on Yeah, like maybe and then also that maybe not everyone can track what IP address is accessing their stuff Yeah, I wish I wish my my big computer was was password protected the more I mean I'd like four hard drives worth of stuff on there The moral of the story is to buddy up with Gus as soon as So anyway long long story. But the guy he got convicted, he's paying us money now. And if he does anything stupid like that again,

he'll go to jail for like 10 years. Well, awesome. So I'm sure everyone really wanted that closure to listen to you. Or he'll go on probation again, and somebody will be going, listen, he's really going to go to jail. Well, he's on felony probation. He's not Lindsey Lohan.

Can we get back to him? He was in jail when they found them. And then he got out of jail and went in jail again, and now he's out of jail again. I'm not convinced this dude's going back to jail. Anyway, I'm sorry, Griffin, you know what I'm saying? Oh, we talked about naked photos earlier. We know that you've taken naked photos of her. You've had somebody take a naked photo of you.

Have you guys ever taken naked photos of yourself? Because I know Jeff that you have. No, I have no hashtag in that. No, I have not taken negative photos. No, I had some. I don't know where they are now. Thank you. Can you really? Really just lost those?

Where did I put those? And they're on a phone somewhere. I think I let them go. I let them go to a phone a draw Michael. The thief took them. That's, yeah, this kind of a scary thing. I don't think I do. But I do.

I remember like webcam sessions back in like college and stuff with girlfriends. So maybe that might be a strange idea. It's like maybe that might be a strange idea. If you pay for that webcam session, can you call her a girlfriend? You have a girlfriend for $299 a minute. It's a small, it's a small extra fee. It's called girlfriend experience.

So you, there might be some naked figures to screen shots of you somewhere? Maybe. I think maybe everyone has got some naked photos. I think yeah, now with like the proliferation of cameras I think it's difficult not to have naked photos of you like you may be naked and your camera like the camera on your laptop Me just beyond, you know who knows? Just like walking around your house every time I walk in and then living your naked and then connect as this Why is it looking at me? It doesn't make you feel good when it's like looks like you look sleeping down. Make sure you write it next. Give me a nod. If I walk in the connection it goes, it looks the way it's quickly. Connect lost its

bowler. Yes, see how I sign it you know our friend Kayla, who made the hamburger bed forever ago? Yeah. Did you hear that she made two more for MTV? No. So the MTV Spring Break House is at the Rio in Vegas this year. Uh-huh. And Burger King hired her to make two new hamburger beds for like their location. What they pay her for.

A lot of money. Good for her. So she couldn't pretty much just make shit. No, she made a Millennium Falcon bed too. Yeah, that's at her house right now. But does she have a day job or does she just make stuff? No, she's a teacher actually. But yeah, it's pretty cool for her.

Like they pay her quite a bit of money. I don't know if I'm a liberty to say. No, I don't think that's the way I was talking about it. I don't want to talk about it. What does she teach? She teaches young kids. I think she's an art teacher. Hemburger bed carpentry.

Yeah. But she also made a Millennium morning talking bed like Jeff was saying. And yeah, she's really, really cool stuff. And so it's cool to see like someone spotted that and was like, hey, make it again for us. Yeah, that's really, really cool. Yeah. If you feel like that hamburger bed,

it was really popular. A lot of people saw it on the internet. Yeah. They started like I'm read it and sites like that. I actually was doing some image research the other day and it popped up. Yeah. It was something totally-

What image research? Oh, just for a design project I'm doing for the company. You redecorating Bernie's office? the other day and it popped up. Yeah, it was something totally... Research? Oh, just for a design project I'm doing for the company. You redecorating Bernie's office? No, no, it's for something coming up. But it had nothing to do with anything, but for whatever reason that hamburger bed popped up. Nice little surprise.

It wasn't when I'm not designing hamburger stuff. Great, okay. Not when a hamburger. Much! We're actually making the sequel to Good Burger. I don't know if he is. Where should we go to Pterys? Oh, do you want to go to Pterys?

Yeah. All right, let's see. The horses' thonum called it. The last time we did an event at the Alamo, we were testing footage to go up to the projection room. Is that noise? There's a weird noise outside. To go up to the projection room to test out different delivery options. When I was walking up there, I saw a real of Goodburger, just laying there.

That's the movie Goodburger on film. It's so weird to see it out of the blue for no reason at all. Well, it had a reason. It was a door stop, right? Yeah. These wheels are heavy. No, they probably had an event at the draft house, where it's like, get free burgers or something along with it.

I'm sure there was some. They do an unlimited pizza for Teenage Mutant Instartles when they show that. Do you think a do you think Kell wakes up every day and curses Keenan? Like you motherfucker. I mean we made him a couple years back at Comic Con. I told you. He was a really nice guy really nice guy but Keenan is becoming, you know, he's on SNL. Yeah, SNL. Oh, did you see SNL this week? My Lee Cyrus? Oh, we saw it. We saw clips. My Lee Cyrus is terrible. Terrible.

She had one funny moment where she played Justin Bieber on the My Lee Cyrus show. And it was funny and then she broke the fourth wall because they asked her about Salvia and she's like, it's legal, yo, and like look directly into the camera. It's like, no, it's ruined it. By the way, speaking of this weekend, when I was in Seattle and also Oregon on hotel, internet and my phone, I discovered for the first time in the, the tenure of your relationship with our company, I actually wanted to kill you. I wanted to murder you this weekend. I wanted to maim you many times, but I wanted to fly back to Austin just so I could kill you. Because you did this thing that I wasn't aware of.

We're on Awew, you asked people to send in videos of themselves saying numbers. And send in as many videos as you want. It took me on average three hours on their crappy free Wi-Fi to get my mail. You leave town and I gotta do something, man. Oh my God, it was brutal. My phone, I think I couldn't do shit

for the entire weekend mail wise. Because it was like iPhone video after iPhone video, after iPhone video of people saying 54 Well, you leave the office I gotta come up with something I gotta come up with someone to create content of the community The community will do it if you're not going to get a bunch of submissions for 69. I got a few I got one funny one with two stuff the animals got some 117s. I saw oh wow They're really going ahead what in the future?

I'm like some people are sending in multiples where it's like okay. Here's numbers 55 through 70 like just pick one The shotgun approach. Yeah, but anyway, I'll probably got like 500 of those in my box But like no one sent anything incredible in like I was hoping like someone to like send you know Send one in in front of like the man's Chinese theater something cool like that like that's what I'm hoping for Oh, so now you're getting my deals yet. Did you did you like you're pie in the sky is man's Chinese Theater, something cool like that. Like that's what I'm hoping for. Oh, so now you're getting to my deals. Yeah, did you, did you like this? You're pie in the sky as Man's Chinese Theater. Not like the Taj Mahal.

But let me play while I'm trying this. Something recognizable. Not in the water burger by my house. It's a good quarter burger. This is not that bad, mouth it. Yeah, maybe an in and out. But no, in Awu, I said, you know, like, I'm gonna get a bunch of submissions,

so I'm gonna pick the best one. So try to do something original. Oh, I see so you did say What Jack saying is we are not gonna pick any of your shitty submissions Get better. Like like like 54 is gonna be the first one and I've probably got like 15 submissions for 54 so I'm just gonna go through and pick the best one. Yeah, so you'll know whether or not you're on it Obviously, can I I'm gonna say something yes I've watched them on their all really cool and I'm really cool to people sent them in. But vertical iPhone submissions are never gonna get picked, guys.

I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work. Unless it's in front of the Taj Mahal. Yeah, unless it's in front of the... In front of the Man's Chinese Theater. In front of the Man's Chinese Theater. And then it's not gonna be a vertical iPhone submission. It's going to be turned on its side, and we're gonna be looking at a falling-down Taj Mahal.

Yeah. Maybe someone can go to Man's Chinese Theater and get the do dressed up like Superman and Batman to do numbers. There you go. You guys didn't even talk about the Oscars last week, did you? I have nothing to do with the Oscars. I was in on the plane when it happened. That's right, you're not into pop.

No, I know you all talked about pop. No, I'm totally into pop culture. I just couldn't watch it. The week before, but it was old news by the time we were. Yeah, we did the podcast. I do feel like we've hit some kind of time warp where we haven't really been connected to the world in a while Yeah

It's the jet lag. Yeah, yeah, partly that are just like not like I had I don't check my email as much You know because you're kind of like trying to deal with hotel, you know computers and I mean internet and or being on the plane And I'm able to use your phone so I don't feel nearly as connected. I can't just check things like immediately How fast was internet in Australia? Did it go backwards? Did it spin the other way? Oh yeah, I was trying to check that to check the toilet to see if they did that.

But the toilets that they have there, and it's like at least the ones that we use in the hotel. We used a lot of toilets. No, it was like the energy saving, but it didn't really do the swirl. It just went straight down. So I didn't even get that experience. Internet and Australia was okay, I guess. Hotel Internet always is always like 60% of what you want it to be.

If you're lucky. Although last year at PECS E-Star Internet was pretty good at the hotel, I remember. There's a hotel we would stay at when we would go up to Bungie. It's kind of by Bungie. That place had fucking awesome Internet. I remember what they're dealing with. I think the place we stayed in LA at e3 we did an awu e3 and I remember it uploaded so fast I hadn't finished putting in details yet of the of the actual episode and it was already done uploading I was like, oh shit. I got to make it private before one live was awesome. There you go All right, well should we wrap this shit up so we could get some hamburgers? We probably should we need to get some hamburgers and

And reiterate that if you're in The Seattle here in Seattle you're fucked, but if you're in the Boston area You should totally come to our panel Saturday at 4.30 p.m. At Paxies The Paxies just totally sold out However, if you already have a badge, please come to our panel Saturday and come to our booth and buy lots of stuff. We promise you won't be disappointed. If you are disappointed,

Jack will personally give you two dollars. Yeah, we have videos are going to be showing. In fact, that's why Bernie's not here, putting the finishing touches on that stuff. Yep. And we're very excited. Are we doing anything for PAX? And she, my honor.

We're going to be there. Okay. for packs and she may honor we are be there Okay, being there being there's 90% of it. I want to do something. What I think Bernie wanted us to have a video for the panel Well, what video would you like? I don't know. All right. Well shit Well, you got like 24 hours to burn it in what me to have a video because he didn't mention to me But it sounds like you're dropping the ball Welcome back to the office job. All right.
