Sounds like a band you'd like. Uh, you know, back in the day, I had my I dabbled. That's our Our our taste of South by Southwest for the drunk tank. So we got Jeff Griffin and Gus this week. Hello. It's the it's the solid like the big three. Yeah, the triple G They got hey, where's Bernie?

He told us to wait for the podcast and made me wait two hours and then said he wasn't going to be in it. So, uh, he had stuff to do. Fuck that guy. He's getting barbecues. So, it's more, it's obviously more important than this. So, for all the listeners, he ditched you for barbecue. Hey, listen, barbecue is more important to him. Next week when Bernie is in the podcast and he comes out swinging, I want him swinging at YouTube,

so I'm not saying anything. No, no, no, I'm not part of this. He's gonna listen to this. Last time I effectively dodged at YouTube. So I'm not saying anything. No, no, I'm not part of this. He's gonna listen to this. Last time I effectively dodged his swings. That's right. I'm ready for it again. Ready for around. Let's go for two for two. I don't know if you dodged swings as much as you just screamed back.

Is that not dodging? That's all that matters. Power. That's totally what it is. Okay. All right, well, so that's it, right? I guess we should wrap this up. Yeah, let's go get some barbecue So we just came back from packs east which which went really well. I thought I don't know about you guys Yeah, dude packs east was I mean well how many packs this have there been now Gus? Fuck if I know okay?

Well the fuck guys you when I have been I figured you would know because you plan all over events and you've you And I've both been to every single pack fire forget dude fire and forget This is only the second pack pack these right this is the second pack. I think this is the ninth pack And it's isn't it's you know what are you kind of east sand primes? Yeah, and 11 12 That was the 12 there's no way yeah 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 East 10 prime 10 East 11 And has it East has already outgrown like pack time right so there's been a count wrong you carry on There's nine you're right. I don't know dude. That was fucking befuddleded There's no way that doesn't make any sense. There's no way our country country our company's not 10 years old And we've been we've done every pack nine. Okay, I'm an idiot apparently

So seven packs primes and two packs east okay, and why was I weren't you reading to me that packs used to outgrown packs prime as far as that That's what I was gonna say is like this packs was fucking ridiculous they had 69 that I think the official attendance was 69,500 which makes it officially larger than last year's packs prime which was the largest packs ever at like 68,000. That's crazy and actually the space was interesting because you come in and then you you descend down to this pit of people. Dude the space was awesome. It was really awesome.

It was like it was like you fell like you're E3 for a second You know back in the day and the great thing about that space is I didn't realize that the first day I was there the second day I walked around a little more there were The exhibit hall occupied about a third of the space. Uh-huh They have so they have like another two thirds of that hall They could grow and feel if they wanted to yeah, and I like I never the only time I ever went upstairs Was to go to our panel, but there were like three floors of shit wanted to. Yeah, and I like, the only time I ever went upstairs was to go to our panel, but there were like three floors of shit going on too.

Yeah, I felt like they really had line management worked out well. Yeah, the theater was great. And then if you walked all the way, like on the first floor where the exhibit hall was, if you walked all the way to the back, I think a lot of people didn't even know what was back there, but there was like a whole food court back there.

Yeah, because all the time it was like a circus or a carnival It was you get like fried dough and ice cream and pretzels and shit. It was pretty cool I was looking at the Wikipedia entry per packs here 1,337 people pre-registered for the first packs 1,337 really yeah 1 3 3 7 yeah, did a cap it at that or just to be goofy? I don't know. But it says 3300 people attended that event. Yeah, I remember the first one being pretty. That's crazy. Do you think it was crazy about the first one to me too? I remember when we went to it, we pulled up because I think we got to kind of late and I remember we pulled up in a cab

and there was a line of people that was going outside waiting to get in. I remember thinking that's the biggest line ever. And that's about all 3,000 people. Yeah. So small compared to this. Yeah, it's really, really grown and fast too. Yeah. It was definitely fun. What was your favorite part of the weekend?

The panel. Yeah. I thought it was probably the best panel we'd ever had. Yeah. I felt like there was a good level of interactivity with the audience. Yeah that's definitely we got a we got a stub it up for packs prime because a last past last pack's east I thought was our best panel ever when we debuted season eight and then an immersion actually and then this panel We debuted a special video that I don't know that will ever release anywhere and then the trailer for season nine It was a special immersion. A special immersion.

Special like, special like, should wear a helmet. Yeah, exactly. It rides the little bus. It was a camera immersion, I guess, that I didn't know was being filmed. Well, we may not really see because it wasn't a very video game. It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. It really fell in line with all of the others. And the audience seemed to really like it. But anyway but anyway, yeah, the response for the season nine trailer, I thought was awesome. Really, really cool. Yeah, it went really well.

I was a little nervous, you know, as we always get before showing off something new like that. And people seemed to really like it and really respond to it, which was cool. So, Jeff was telling me that you had some faux pas this weekend, like social faux pas. What, no, what happened? you took your shirt off for something yeah we got a series of stories from packs we had some awesome encounters with people should we you're still

the camera story first I don't know if that one down they'll play with audio we know just retelling it but this you know we got a lot of people come up to the booth and we try to talk to everyone and you know science stuff for them and take pictures and whatnot. I think it was Saturday morning, literally. It was really, really. This guy walked up to the booth with a camera around his neck. I was like, oh, hey, you know, I'm glad to meet you guys.

I was like, oh, hey, what's going on? He's like, can I take a picture with you all? And I said, yeah, sure, you know, let's take a picture. So he begins taking his camera off of his neck. He's got like a big digital SLR. Yeah. It's not like some hokey little camera. Yeah, he takes it off of his neck, holds it in his hands,

looks at it for a second, then hands it to me. Like he wants me to take a picture of him. And Gus takes the camera and looks at the camera and looks at him and's like, huh? And the guy looks at Gus really confused. Like, why isn't this working out? Normally the people turn to the person behind them and line and give them the camera so

We can all be in a picture together and I'm looking at Gus and I'm looking at the camera in his hand And then I look at the guy like a triangle of confusion and the guy I think it hits him all at once And he just grabs the camera and runs And then I started laughing so hard about the situation I fell out of my chair And I couldn't breathe it was rolling around in the ground in the booth. It was really fucking funny I felt so bad for that guy. I think I saw him again all weekend Like he just stayed away. I was like he just looked so confused for a second try to figure out like what where where where where did broken down The process

It was awesome and then the next day was even funnier. Some dude comes up to Gus. Two dudes come up to Gus. And they come up and they're like, hey, Gus. And Gus is like, hey, what's up? And they go, uh, we have a situation. And Gus is like, excuse me? I think they're kind of like-

They said we wanted to come by yesterday, but we couldn't because we had kind of a situation. Yeah. And Gus goes, uh, what? And they go, yeah, we had a situation. And Gus lifts up his shirt and goes you mean this situation and points to his six-flab and uh and the guy gets the most confused look on his face i've ever seen like quizzical you know and uh the guy goes huh and cuss goes the

situation my abs this situation and the guy goes i don't i, I what? And Cusco's, come on, this situation. And the guy goes, I, um, uh, uh, my friend had a seizure yesterday. And, uh, that was our situation. That was our situation. Anyway, uh, we think he's gonna be okay. And I'm standing there, just turning around, just turning around and walking away. And I'm standing there with my shirt up like an idiot. It was like like a great...

I don't know! I was... whatever. And then, the megast 64 declared humor war on cosplayers while we were there. We were next to those guys. They had a funny bit they were playing like a gag they were playing on some kids that was fucking, it was brutal

it was really fun I saw him do it twice but that second one was definitely yeah they baited him in perfectly why don't you explain I think you can find all that they they would see people walking by you know cost playing as something but then the megastick four guys would start yelling at the cost player excusing them or saying that they were dressed up as someone else. Okay. So this guy walked by with like a hood and like some illuminated eyes, carrying an axe. And they started yelling, oh, it's a jaw wall, it's a jaw wall. Hydro droids, everyone, Hydro droids.

They're making like, oh, baby, like the jaw wall. And the guys like, I'm not a jaw wall. And they just keep going like best jaw wall ever right here. Everyone take a picture with the jaw wall. And then they're like, watch out for the sand people. You know, if there's a jaw wall around, they just keep going like best java ever right here everyone take a picture with the java And then they're like watch out for the sand people you know if there's a java round They're not gonna be far behind you know it was really really fucking funny and the guy got so upset Well, they constantly my cosplayers take that stuff seriously and then I saw it unfolding in Rocco's film All thing so I like ran over and I was like hey guys can you take a picture of me with the java and they're like Yeah, I'm like no no no no no no no no no

And I was like yeah stars forever and we take some photos and then I walk back and the guy like yeah I was like no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no He's filming it as the guy walks away and he's just talking to the camera. You know, like just to the camera, not even loud. He's like, best jaw-aw, ever. Man, I'm so glad that guy came by the booth. That was really good jaw-aw. And the guy like hears it and runs back. And he goes, how can it be the best jaw-aw ever if it was never intended to be a jaw-aw in the first place? God! And he just like sticks his hands up in the air and runs away frustrated. It was really really fun. I was really happy to be next to this guy as they kept me entertained all weekend. Yeah. But it was actually difficult to work whenever they they have it like their dance part or your dance offs. What kind of what were they doing?

Like it's some kind of uh vogue dramatic. Vogue dramatic. Okay can you explain what it is because I've never heard of this before. I guess it a Garrett had to explain it to me. I had no idea what they were doing But I guess it's like some underground movement where people still vogue But they'd have like overly dramatic like posturing and dance moves. It's very rigid Yeah, he said this very rigid like there were five fundamentals to to to vogue dramatic So it was like you had your your your runway work hand work Duck walking v voguing and I'm familiar with the last one. It's like fake death or falling or something like that

And like you have to mix like those five together to get your dance and I'll put a link in the link dump And then the enhanced podcast if you want to see it, but it's really weird Yeah, it's just a bizarre that they're into it But so they would every like I don't know whenever somebody in their group would hit the music They'd all like kind all be required to dance, and then there'd be a big dance party, and then everyone around would join in. So, but every time they did this,

I just couldn't work, I had to sit there and watch them. And all of our productivity just stopped. Every time they would have a dance off. Yeah, it's like all of Pac's stops to watch Garrett do a duck walk on the table. He's, that's pretty fucking funny. Yeah, that's a whole movement. Where did you say it's in it's in Hollywood? I guess yeah, he's underground.

Dramatic dance battles. I we watched guests and I went back to the hotel. I remember stuff asked me to watch videos for like an hour and they're pretty intense. Yeah, there's some there's some serious serious dancing going on. But I love being next to the mega 64 guys just because I feel like when I'm low energy or like when I'm getting tired Like like they're like an instant pump up just because they're always doing something they're yelling They're you know dancing or whatever and it's like I feel like I can't be tired

Otherwise I look bad like look like an asshole. Yeah, it's like we don't have a dance competition every like 30 minutes I just sit there and I'm more tired than them. Yeah, well you watch them at the end of the weekend now I mean they their dance moves get a little bit like less dramatic. The duck walks more like a duck waddle. Yeah, they definitely seem to get tired near the end. But now they, they're always great to be by. I look forward to being next to them at PAX Prime. Yeah. Yeah. Those are funny deeds. So I think we only have one more event coming up in the near future. That's not this weekend. It's next week. Next week and we have Megacond or Lando. Yes, and I are trying to extend our permanent jet lag.

Yeah, we're finally like the last two nights, like mornings, we just haven't been able to wake up. Like we've hit this news like five times. Just and I know the moment we've started to normalize, we'll be off to Florida. The fucked up thing was you were you were Probably getting close then you went, you know to the eastern time zone and then the hour change it Yeah, it's like a fucking one two punch because that was the night of the frag doll's party And I was already staying out late and then I got back and I mean it all of a sudden it was like three in the morning And I had to I had to get up I had to get up at seven, but that didn't didn't happen By the frag doll's party

Do you mean the most exclusive difficult party to get up at seven, but that didn't happen. By the Fraggdals party, do you mean the most exclusive, difficult party to get into in America? Yeah, what the fuck? It was health in this club, and I don't remember the name of the club. It was, um, fuck. Royale. Royale, okay. The Royale nightclub. There were, these two Bouncer douchebags on the outside, and they were, like, weren't

hired. They were, like, the venues, like, Bouncer guys, they had nothing to do with the actual Fraggdals group, but they had, like they had like restrictions on like what you could wear it like he if they were the right shoes. Because it was a classy joint. Yeah so and I don't think that like Ubisoft and the fragdals knew about it so like people were getting turned away people on the guest list were getting turned away and you almost didn't make it in along with Caleb who was with us.

Yeah and megastix four got denied at the door. Yeah they did and I mean fortunately for us like Faith one of the frag dolls was was outside smoking when we showed up or we would have just left Mm-hmm, but she argued with the bouncer it took forever and she finally got a stand We walked in and they're all these fucking like everyone like half the people there had sneakers on So it was completely arbitrary like who they were deciding. Yeah, and I asked I asked all those people with sneakers I was like did you have trouble with the door and they all said no, no, not a problem at all It's like what the fuck yeah, it was really messed up and I felt bad for meg six or because then that I actually was really looking forward

Of them coming and hanging out, but then they got turned away and they I tried to come back there like not My club turned into the Jersey Shore. It was once the regular crowd showed up. It was strange like it just it didn't feel like I didn't expect that crowd to be there for that event. I didn't get to go. I stayed in the hotel in Slept because I was very tired and I was being the responsible parent in the family. But you went and I heard the next morning everybody that came up to me I was like, oh did you get that Friday last night? How was it? And they go, dude your wife tried to fight every bouncer at that place. I had to stay away from your wife because I thought I was going to get pulled into a fight. Your wife scared the hell out of me. That's what everybody said. Yeah, whatever. Gus. That's why I left.

Despite you trying to box me in and keep me there. No, I've whatever like I already wandered off after like before you left I think no, no, you were boxing me in you were you were telling people to not let me go and just surround me really? Yeah, I don't remember that. Caleb told me at one point, you approached the bouncers, like after Gus and all those guys left. I did. Approach the dancers. You went up to him and started berating him about the tennis you thing. I did. And that the bouncers said, listen, ma'am, we're just doing our job.

And Caleb said, you looked at that bouncer and said, then you're doing a shitty job. You are shitty and terrible at your job. Do you know that? Do you know how bad you are at your job but you can't differentiate between sneakers and sneakers you let 400 people in there with sneakers on but you won't let my friends in with sneakers why are you so terrible at what you do and what kind of job are you gonna get because you can't do this job that's what he said you said I didn't say that but I did accuse them of being bad at their jobs that sounds a little too eloquent for drunk Griffin

No, you know what I saw that I was awesome when I was on fire and I made them look so stupid But I didn't say that specifically Well Caleb what does he know? Well, I had it if it's like he's you took off and like I don't know where everyone else went So I ended up hanging out the whole night with pork fry Like on the stage and and then at some point I just had to leave, because it was just so full of- Maybe that's why,

pork fry's kind of an intensity, maybe he intensity up. There were times where I could not see straight in that club, because the base was so strong. Like I went up to the bar to get a beer, and I felt like I couldn't look at the bottles, because my vision was blurry because of base.

Well they had all this like glowing light, like ice cubes, which are cool, but um, some a lot of people had their set to blink and there's something about like lots of blinking lights and bass happening at the same time in your eyes. That just makes you feel weird. Plus also it was weird having those blinking lights in a cup you're drinking out of because every time you go to take a drink, you're just getting blinded by a light. It's like, you know, just from your face.

Yeah, I had to keep, I had to have some point request not to have them just because I couldn't figure out the button like to set it to steady. You could figure out to push the button on the bottom. I was, you know, having a good time. Okay. She's to be fighting Vance. It's just going to stop all the buttons. I will say like I didn't feel like I was that out of control

or anything, but the fact that pork rice seemed mellow to me. It's probably an indication. Oh, man. So what else happened at tax, guys? I didn't really get to see any pals. I mean, you know, our experience is very limited at conventions like that. We get to see our booth and that's about it. Yeah, I saw that there was an L.A. Noire booth,

and I saw that there was a portal to a booth and a battlefield three booth, and they all looked like they were a lot of fun and cool. I didn't really get to experience anything. Oh, Gus and I would go and look at the guys standing line for the older public a couple times They had a six hour wait to play the old republic. Yeah, I guess it was like a 45 minute long demonstration So people would run in first thing in the morning get in line and they'd have to cut the line off because the line We get to be five or six hours long and they'd have people waiting in line that had no chance to see the game And that's crazy.

But they had like monitor setups so you could watch the guys while they were playing. And so one time Gus and I went over there to go see what the 45 minute demonstration was. And it was literally a party of like twilight's and stormtroopers dancing like slash dancing. And we were like, do you wait in line five hours so that you could. And slash dance. And their defense.

I think they were, they were resetting the scenario. I think that one group had just finished another group was coming in. I think you probably were right. So how long, like, when you, when you have to wait in line like that and to play a game, do they give you, like, a time limit?

Did they play? Yeah, I think this one was 45 minutes, which is insanely long. Usually it's about 10 minutes. Yeah, that seems like they could have been a little bit more efficient. Like, I think shorter times, shorter lines. The thing is, it's an end and a no, and I think you're trying to give people, like, shorter lines. The thing is, it's an end-to-know,

and I think you're trying to give people, like, I mean, you know what, if you sit down and you type in your username and your password to wow, then you look up it's an hour later. Yeah, I think what they were doing was they were giving a brief demonstration and a tutorial, and then they let the people go through

to try to kill a boss in a level. Like they would have to get through and progress, and that was their time limit to get through. When I guess the people that are immediately behind watching are also getting a taste of it. Yeah, repeatedly though. Yeah. A big guess everyone's maybe approaching it differently. I wonder if they switched out the bosses just for people.

No, it was the same thing. I hear there were a lot of different ways to approach that encounter in counter rather. Yeah. And a lot of different ways to take that boss down and that it could be done very quickly if you knew, you know, you could figure it out, or it could take up to 45 minutes. So, because it depends on your, I don't know, gamer level,

and you come for the ability within the those in experience. Millie's really excited about Ms. Splosion, man. Yeah, she really is. Yeah. There's a pretty funny video Martha took her over, Martha and Caleb took her over to they have that they had it at a They had a Comic-Con or Comic-Con. Yeah, it's a giant mech and it's from a

Red Faction Armageddon I think is the game and you can go and you can like stand inside this like 15 foot robot Mm-hmm, and then like it's all shut in and then that like opens up dramatically and like smoke billows out You know and you see you like you're the the mech guy at the end of Matrix 3 Except and we got this really funny video of it opening up and all you can see is the top of Millie's head And these blinking sunglasses that she's wearing that you got from the Ubisoft booth. It's pretty funny Yeah, she looked tiny and I think it's really did Weird that my five year old look small and the 20-year-old We're doing permanent damage. Yes. I think so too Sorry. Weird that my five year old look small in the 20,000. You were doing permanent damage.

Yes. I think so too. Sorry, dog doesn't remember us. I think our dog has has bonded with every single person in Austin who watches her, except for us. Is your dog think that maybe you all are like the pet sitter? I don't know. It's like, oh, it's these guys again. I wish they'd take me back to my family over at the kennel.

Oh man, okay, so that parent, did I tell you guys, okay, well, there's at the kennel that we, we boarded our dog out, they have this parrot that somebody eventually like donated to them that had been like, like this family, I guess parrots lived to be like,

I think a guy's supposed to be like a hundred or something crazy and this one's like 50. And it's like this old couple that had it for years, like died and left it somebody in their will. I guess if you have a parrot,

you have to have a will made out for it because they live so long. Anyway, so I know it was their last like it kept saying good morning. I took a little video of it and put it up on Twitter, but it does this thing every day where it burrows and makes a tent out of the papers on the ground. And like when I went there yesterday like it had made a tent. It was like a burrowing parrot, which I think is pretty unusual. I never heard of that before. I should have taken a video. I'll do it next time. It's fucking hilarious. And the next time will be pretty soon because we'll be boarding that dog again very soon. Yeah. You'll be really guilty. Yeah. I feel bad for Millie. We

were getting on the plane. We had like a 6 a.m. flight out. So we were getting on that. We were like walking onto the plane at like 515. Millie was half asleep. And you know this is after Australia Seattle, Oregon, and now Boston. and while as we're walking down the runway Millie looked up and she said, Dad, can we stop going on vacation? Please I just want to stay home It's like sorry sweetie. I'm sad also not a vacation for daddy That's that well that's I mean that's that's good. You'll burn her out of travel. She won't ever want to go anywhere Yeah, she'll be excited to go to school. She's gold now on American Airlines

Yeah, she's a busy year There's a lot of trawling. It's not shit. It's only like a quarter over I know Yeah, hey Hey, I read something this is nothing to with packs, but I read something though. That was pretty cool Pepsi has decided to go plastic free 100% plastic free by 2012. Really? Yeah, or starting in 2012. They're making like all their bottles not going to be made out of like a certain kind of grass. Is that plant-based stuff? Yeah, plant-based stuff.

And they're going to eliminate plastic from the Pepsi line up. I read also that they're going to make the Pepsi throwback and Mountain Dew throwback permanently available. Oh, really? Yeah. That was pretty cool. What's the, is it like real sugar? Yeah, permanent, permanently available. Oh really? Yeah, that was pretty cool. What's the, is it like real sugar? Yes, real sugar.

Okay. What's interesting? That's a lot of plastic, you figure, for all those bottles. Yeah, well plastic, like drinking out of plastic bottles, supposed to leave you as you can, sir. I don't know if you need that. Especially if you leave it in like, if it has a chance to heat up, like so you're not supposed to microwave things in plastic.

But if you leave like a water bottle in your car, you're just not supposed to drink out of it. Yeah, I'd heard that before. Mm hmm. Oh man, guess what I got to, got an experience at the end of Pax, you know, like as Pax, as any event ends, you have to repalitize all your equipment and send it back like our TVs and our shelving and you know whatever merchandise that we have left over. And so it's kind of like a mad dash to find pallets because they'll bring them out to you

Eventually, but they tell you it'll take two hours. Yeah, at least two hours and some places longer And so you the if you want to get out of there, you know to catch a plane or just you don't want to spend 10 hours sitting In an empty convention booth while people are tearing stuff down and packing it up You can go and find or requisition packets palettes as it were and so guess what I always can go and find or requisition packets, palettes as it were. And so, guess what I always do that. And so, we went and scattered out.

I found a place where there were some palettes hanging out waiting for us specifically. And so, I went and I found them. And then I told Gus, I was like, let's go, stay there, show us by these palettes. So, as soon as they shut down, we can grab them and run out. And while we were doing that, the, I don't know if you know this about Boston, but a big teamster state. And while we were doing that, the outst like the back alley area of the convention hall

filled up with like 500 of the scariest teamsters I've ever seen in my entire life. Yeah, we were trying to find another way to leave there. So we were trying to, we tried to blend in at first, we realized that was not happening. You can't blend in carrying pallets. And there's just all these big dudes with arms folded, like wondering, looking at you,

like, do you really think you're gonna have those pallets? Do you really think we're gonna let you do that, you know? And we were like, we're looking around and going through doors and ending up in like closets and server rooms and eventually we just stood there until all those guys started to move on. And then we snuck out. Yeah, once the hall closed and they all go out, they all rush out to start doing what?

So you guys were hiding behind, like you guys had two pallets under our arms. It was hiding. It was the teamsters cleared out. Yeah, pretty much. It was a lot like high school. We were hiding right after you eat. We were hiding behind the bleachers so that no one could pants us, essentially. Except by pants, I mean, like punch out our teeth.

Yeah. Right. But it was a humbling experience. Mm-hmm. I've never seen that out of all the conventions we've been to. You know, we've been a lot of time in the learning docs. I've never seen like a massive people like that waiting to go out. Like concentration, yeah.

It was actually, it was a very well organized place. Like, when, at some point, we had the panel. And then I forgot that I had, or Bernie asked me to bring the lab coats from immersion just in case we used them, we decided not to. So I left them backstage and then what we did the panel and then I forgot about them because there's you know like huge rush and we're trying to find million everything. So then but the time it took me to leave that room, go down the escalator, remember that I forgot the lab coats and get back up the escalator and go back in all of the chairs and I don't know how many people are in like how many people how many seats are there like 4,000 chairs

were all like stacked up like Boulder guys like I went down the escalator came back and all the chairs were like stacked in these like tree like almost like tree formations or whatever everywhere like they were pretty they were on top of their game. By the way 4,000 people in one room is pretty crazy to look at Bernie took a pretty awesome panoramic photo you should definitely link them. Bernie took a pretty awesome panoramic photo. You should put that in the link down. It's a- I'll definitely do that.

Yeah, I don't know if you still have it, but- Yeah, I can find it. Pretty crazy to look at. Yeah, that was definitely one of the best run. Well, Pax is one of the best run events of all time, I think. And then that particular convention center, those guys had it down. For sure. One of the things that we announced and mentioned at the panel, I guess that we should mention

here, is that we are going through the process of having official state of Texas Rooster Heath license plates made. Oh, we did announce that. That's right. And it's not official. It's not final yet. It's going through a committee right now. They have to approve it and then they have to put it out for public comment.

But if all goes well, if you live in the state of Texas, starting in August August you'll be able to buy a Rooster Teeth license plate for your car. Are there any other states that do that? I don't know. I'm gonna start investigating that. Yeah Yeah, people have them available I'm just But for this one at least for the Texas one all the proceeds will go to Child's play. Yeah. Oh nice. That's pretty awesome. I can't believe we're all gonna get the driver out of the Rooster Teeth vanity license place I know I'm gonna I'll make sure to put a like the mock up on the in the link dump.

Are you going to just do like random assortment of letters and numbers or you're going to do something else? I feel like I got to get something. I'll try to get ass orgy if I can. Ass orgy is like the best license plate ever. Is the best license plate of all time. You ever seen that one? No, surprisingly.

It's an old Vanity license plate from the state of Florida. Gus and I found it like probably eight nine years ago It's probably longer than I am on the on this list of like funny vanity license plates and the state of Florida used to have an orange Like right in the middle and then you got three letters on each side And so there's this big orange you know orange because it's the Citrus state or whatever and so somebody has a Five five the orange and then Rgy that's funny. It was really really funny. It was awesome. Hey Brandon Hey, what do I got here Brandon? Oh?

My iPad to just came in the mail. That's awesome. What is your if this is a video podcast? We could do an unboxing. Yeah What is your t-shirt is that the infinity bacon? It's infinite bacon Very very cool. What are you doing? You just invited himself? I'm invited myself in Yeah, you pick all the horse maps. Yeah, I did I found a sponge. They're good. Thank you.

Yeah packs was awesome And I mean like we had a lot of fans come out for it. Those cool. There once they're really neat games. I got to see battlefield three early. That was really really sweet

When does that game come out? You know, it's like fall right? I think fall. Yeah, they're slowly releasing stuff now So I like summer to fall. Mm-hmm. They're episodic trailers. You should link those two guys those things are fucking awesome Yeah, the second one just came out today. That was great. Yeah, really nice. They showed us all that live too. So that's all real game footage Very very cool cool. So they were like acting it out yes they were they were acting it out Jeff okay all right I'm gonna roll your windows down bye guys you can feel pretty sit in you don't have to go anywhere can I play with die pad oh I would let you but it's all boxed out oh that's too bad. Unbox the IP.

I don't think of that court. He forgot to order that adapter, so I ordered it yesterday. So we will get it soon. Bye guys. See you. Bye Jack. What a dickhead. Yeah, I can't believe the battle could be so far away,

and they're already, you know, releasing trailers and had a booth at PAX and everything. Yeah, I can't believe the battle feel so far away and they're already you know, releasing trailers and had a booth at PAX and everything. Yeah, man, yeah. Also, there was a big darkness to booth. I didn't think the game had been announced. Yeah, it was announced. Was it? Yeah, it just came out of nowhere for me. I don't think of the darkness as being a big game. It was a very well-reviewed, very well-liked game. I don't think it was a very big game. Was that like based on anything? Was that a comic book?

It's a comic. Yeah, it's based on a comic book. That I didn't think it was very big. Was that like based on anything? Was that a comic book? It's a comic book. It's based on a comic book that I didn't think was pretty good when I was a kid. It was like, I don't know if you remember when, if you're gonna ask me anything about comics, I don't remember. Okay, well like back in the mid-early 90s, like all the artists from Marvel and DC peeled off

and started their own comic company called Image Comics. And that was one of their flagship comics. I believe the darkness, was like the darkness and salmon max and young blood and I should stop. Oh, wait, speaking of comics, you were saying that the Sandman is going to be made into a TV series? Might might be. It's they're they're working on that. That would be awesome. I heard it was dead yesterday and then I read another article that said maybe it's not quite dead yet. That was actually a comic I did read. It was a good comment. Yeah, really good. No game. I feel like, uh, oh, uh, should we talk about

the tragedy in Japan? No. You want to. I don't know. It's very sad. Good proofing. I saw a photo today that was fucking eerie. It was a, some, uh, semen from the USS Ronald Reagan who are doing rescue efforts off the coast of Japan found a house floating in the water a couple miles in the ocean it's just like I was two days after the tsunami two days after the tsunami it's just literally the house is like perfectly intact and it's just floating in the ocean at sea it was a really bizarre thing to see yeah really kind of sobering mm-hmm really well that I think that was definitely the most dramatic video I saw the neighborhood that was just sort of being washed away like complete houses floating around. I saw one yesterday where

I guess like someone was in the streets filming it like right as a tsunami is coming up the street like very little at first. And there's like a car driving down the street like trying to drive away from the water. Jesus didn't make it. You can't see it goes past the camera. It's ahead of the water, but who knows? What happens? Yeah, we were talking about that at PAX actually. The idea of entire suburbs being washed away like that, the safest place on the planet earth to me feels like your average suburb.

You know, where you're in a coldest act with a bunch of houses that look alike and basketball goals and it's like your next to a strip mall. And I can't imagine that having that like we live in a suburb. That would be fucking crazy. We live in a suburb. No, kind of. We live in a neighborhood. We live in a neighborhood. We don't live in a suburb. Yeah. It's the same thing. It's not the same thing. If it's the same thing, we'd have a bigger house in a suburb somewhere. Okay, fine. Man, the Gus is strong in you. Well, he's insulting our neighbor. Yeah, we do not live in a suburb. Are you insulting suburbs? No. Are you saying your neighborhood is better than a suburb? Yes, I am really yes location wise. It's better than a suburb

We live in an herb. We live in an earth. Yeah, okay. Well, I apologize to every single person who listens to this podcast that lives in a suburb And has now been personally insulted by Griffin Well, I'm so sorry. They're gonna have so sorry I mean did you have to tell you when was broke up? No. At PAX? Yeah, I got in trouble because apparently I was supposed to be there in the morning, both days of PAX.

And I would admit, I dropped all of it on the second day. I wasn't gonna bring this up. Yeah, I'm not bringing it up. I feel bad because I know how annoying is to have the person that shows up at noon or whatever. And I did that this weekend. But to be fair, it's the only event I've ever done that at. But yeah, like how little too much fun at the Frag Dolls party and didn't show up until later.

But so Jeff, like, everything is fine, everything is fine. And then like the night before we left, like Jeff just got like bitchy and like me and he was already drunk and like angry. And so we almost separated. She texted me at 9.20 in the morning on Sunday and said, I'm just going to be able to eat. I'll be right in the hall opens at 10. The hall opens at 10. She texted me at 9.20 and said, I just got to bite the air. I'm getting the bite to eat. I'll be right in. And she showed up after noon.

Yeah, well, literally after noon. It was actually it was like right at noon. You wouldn't even in the booth. I got there You weren't there were the fuck were you I went to the bathroom remember that time I didn't show up to the booth till afternoon I don't oh wait never had I did wake up late one day this week and I was only there 45 minutes before the hall I remember that but the luckily you know Barbara there oh Really so I'm not you know it's funny because he didn't threaten to break up with you I can't say that I was still 45 minutes before the hall opened And you don't know that I didn't threaten to break up

You know why you weren't there because you're fucking asleep Oh no I was a fragged all parties No I was a Dreams of yelling at bouncers I was awake I just couldn't move That was that was rough Good good convention though. Yeah, how do we keep coming back to packs? It seems like we cannot escape it because we have nothing else going on in our lives. We can't escape its orbit

Then when was the last time you had something going on in your life? Oh, I Guess I got married five years ago. What my waiting? Yeah, no, I feel like that's you. Like our whole lives have been eaten up by work and conventions. Like, I mean, we don't have anything else. We have no social lives. Just our collective disdain for the suburbs, I guess. You guys got South by Southwest going on this week or you guys gonna do anything South by Southwest related? No, we tried to walk to, there's a pizza place

by our house called Red House. It's not the best pizza in the world, but it's got a really nice outside. Yeah, it's cheap pizza place by our house called Red House. It's not the best pizza in the world, but it's got it. It's got a good happy hour outside. Yeah, it's cheap and they have, you can sit outside and the weather was fucking awesome. It's beautiful. So we walked the dog and the kid over there to have dinner yesterday. And of course, there were like 10 billion South by Southwesters there.

So we couldn't. Yeah. So we're just going to retreat back into our house and we're going to hide the whole week. Yeah, pretty much. How about you? No, no. I mean, when we used to have the office downtown I'd walk over to do some stuff or see some stuff

but now that you know our office isn't in the middle of it. Yeah, it's really inconvenient to get to and away from because of traffic So let's get stay away. Yeah, I agree. That's a funny thing It's like I've talked to people who you know, I tell them I'm from Austin like oh, that must be so much fun There's so many festivals and t-t-tada. I'm like, no, that, I mean, it's cool that Austin has that happening. And I appreciate that Austin has that happening. But for people who live here, we just like, it just means traffic and not having anywhere to park and not being deleted the rest of the ones you like.

Just essentially giving your city up for the week. Oh, I don't mind it, though. I don't mind it either. It's up for the week. I don't mind it though. I don't mind it either. It's good for the economy, but it can be like not being able to park on our street is annoying. Yeah, you know, because they turn a gas station into a club for three days. I think it's kind of, I mean, it's fun.

And I do like people watch during South-Ai Southwest and other things that we have going on here, but I'm just saying like, when things like that happen in your town, like, I mean, it's like when we had Franklin, the barbecue in our neighborhood, we don't anymore, I think they moved. But I was excited about having a cool barbecue place in our neighborhood, but we never were able to go there

because the lines are so long from people that can't from other places coming to eat there. And I think that's true, in general, if you have a really cool place in your neighborhood, you're not gonna go there because everyone else is gonna go there. One thing that doesn't annoy me is that people assume you're from out of town.

Like yesterday we went to lunch in South Park Meadows, by the way, away from all that stuff. And the lady was like, so you guys are in South by Southwest, huh? Like, I was used to that. Yeah, like I was like the 40th time I've eaten at your restaurant, ma'am. So you think everyone should remember you? No, I just don't like to be obsessed with the tourists.

Have a table for you and everything ready. And it's like, hey, I got tattoos I must be from out of town. I must be here for the music You're the band or something right? Yeah, I'm a rhodi All right, so should we wrap this up? I guess so yeah So I guess the only thing I got to remind people about which I already said was the mega con Convention next week It's book four coming out soon?

Oh, yeah, we should talk about that. Yeah, what's going on with the you talk to the printing company? Oh, man. We've had a litany of problems with book four. As you know, as you know, as you know, that in the process of putting it together, Luke had that hard drive die and we lost 54 comics. And all the commentaries were on the computer that was stolen. That was stolen, that whole deal.

What I never told you guys was, or I didn't talk about on the site, was that when we went to get it printed, the printing company printed their own book and they sent us like a different book, they sent us year two. And they were like, oh, sorry. Well, so we got that remedied and we we were supposed to it was supposed to come out in time for PAX East. It was like that was going to be the launch of the year for book. And so when I was putting the shipment together, I checked just to make sure because it was supposed to arrive any day and they're like, yeah,

it's going to arrive any day. Will the printing company said, we'll get your track number, we'll get that worked out. We'll get back to you. They didn't get back to me for a day, so I emailed them. I didn't hear from them. I didn't hear from them the next day, so I emailed them again. I'm like, hey, seriously, guess what's going on? The track number, we need to get the stuff to Boston for Pax East. They go, yeah, the thing about that is, for some reason, we just never sent them to you.

They're coming from Korea, so it's like a long boat ride from Korea to America Like how long is the trip do you know I think it's like six weeks? So they four to six weeks. I ordered them in January Yeah, that's why we had to send that out a while ago just get to have them in time for taxi Yeah, and and she was like and they were supposed to arrive March 1st and so I come and I'm talking to her and I'm like where the hell are they and she goes well they shipped out March 3rd So they mailed out to us two days after they were supposed to arrive and She's like we don't we don't we don't know what happened

We don't have an answer for you. We just they're just not there. They're gonna try and get them to us for mega-con Yeah, oh, it's nice that they're gonna try. We're gonna send a helicopter to the middle of the ocean Yeah, or something. Yeah, the boat Air lifted off of there. But what does that mean? We're gonna pull some sticks. We're gonna try. I mean, that's bullshit.

They're gonna pull up the pirates in the speed boat to pull up. Dodge the water cannons. Throw some pallets on. There's nothing. If it's on a ship in the middle of the ocean, what can happen? I really don't know. I guess once it hits port, then they can rush it. They can send a FedEx delivery from the house that's floating in the middle of the ocean.

Yeah. I know it lands in Los Angeles, and then from Los Angeles, it goes ground from Los Angeles to see the Austin, so at that point, they can overnight it. I bet that's the long part. Yeah, that's not the long part. So anyway, so we may have them from Aacon, if not, they'll be on our site as soon as humanly possible. It is the most cursed product. I think I heard it. It's weird. I feel like who do we piss off?

The universe does not want your Ford to come out. Suburban acts? Yeah, apparently. I should go back and look through all the comics from your Ford and see, like, did I- Who you made fun of? Yeah, there was some like, God that we made a joke about or like what? You're at the God of War one, right? Oh like what? You hit the God of War one right? Oh, yeah, we did have God of War.

Oh shit. To stuff, Kratos. Hey, did you, I hear Kratos is going to be in Mortal Kombat? I think I read that on Joystick. I don't know about that. I haven't heard that. Yeah, I thought that was strange. And the article I read made it sound like it had been announced a while ago.

And I guess I just missed it. Oh. That's interesting crossover. Is there going to be a different character for, is I assume that's for the PlayStation? I would think so too, that got me thinking of what would be the Xbox character. I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe somebody who's listening to the podcast has more information than can tell us. I'm sure we can find it. All right, we'll just wrap this up. All right. All right, bye. Bye. Bye.
