I think it might be a problem. I'll come on. Which I agreed. It's a huge problem. Yeah, well, you've got some new problems just to know. What was your favorite animal that someone was dressed up as? Um, I don't know how to have this conversation. I'm laughing at the question of what you're going to do. Come on!
Starting point is 00:05:34 No, because I didn't start this story. It's not my first ones to be ready to finish it. Come on, you almost answered. What's your favorite animal? No, I didn't see a huge variety. A lot of people learned of foxes and wolves. I didn't see a big variety. Why do you think that is why do you like foxes and wolves? I didn't say I didn't say I did I said I haven't seen a variety. I'm just I've Observed that there are a lot of people are into like foxes and wolves. I didn't see a lot of you know like goat people I Guess you would be in the Billy goats if you had to dress up as one, you know, you were forced to a gunpoint
Starting point is 00:06:02 Which one? He's got the gun. Um, Hitler. Yeah, Hitler has the gun. Okay. Um, all right. I'll come back to this. Can I come back to this? I can answer by the end of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Tonight, we actually once had Gus drawn as a fox. I remember. I haven't a few weeks ago. You know, probably a raccoon. I'm into raccoons. I like raccoons. I like raccoons. I like raccoons.
Starting point is 00:06:23 It's like a fox. It's got the tail. The crafty. So when Cartman was the coon on South Park, that turned you on. Is that like, is that way we watch that upset so many times? So Jeff, if you're into role playing, you should probably buy like a band mask or something. Then you paint yourself up with some rings around your body. Can we? Okay, let's move on. Nobody wants to hear about this. Nobody? Nobody? nobody at all. I was so surprised.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I am not into furries. It was fascinating to watch. I was witnessing something unusual. I told you about it. I will never tell you about anything again. If it's in a console, you have a million cons. You never noticed furries. I've been to anime X before, too.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Maybe I didn't pay attention before. I don't know if it was just a different year. There were two things I noticed a lot of worries which I haven't seen as much before or maybe I just didn't notice And there were a lot of hot girls that weren't booth babes. They were like attendees can I can I see a question before we go any further? At all getting aside am I in legitimate trouble and if I am could you paw once for yet? Wait a minute didn't raccoon skill some of your chickens? You better watch out. She's got something on the side happening down in the basement. I hate all of you guys. I love you.
Starting point is 00:07:38 We'll talk about this later. No, we won't. That's not true. There's nothing wrong with it. People are obviously into it, you know, so more power to you I'm just interested. How is that? I'm interested in video games and I'm into that She's a comparing you know, I'm sexy the Xbox, you know, it's totally sex with furries Are you saying? You're the one that added sex in the video No, let me assure you all of these people are virgins.
Starting point is 00:08:06 No one is touching their giant. I was interested in like, is there like a zipper like in a special place on the suit? Like how do they manage that? Like what do you do? I'm not that I'm... That is... Like a whole... They're asking how they have sex in the costume? Do they have sex in the costume?
Starting point is 00:08:22 I mean I'm just scared. No! No! I mean I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm just scared.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I'm just scared. No, I'm just. Do you think, like, I'm just. So you took a picture with two Jedi knight. Yeah, I just, I never seen that coming. I just, I just, I was thought it would be funny because of the comment.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Just shut up, shut up, shut up. Do you think that there's like, like, uh, anatomically correct costumes that some people wear? I think that it has to be. There's an anatomically correct costumes some people wear? I have to be there's an anatomically correct version of everything right? So if I want to turn you on like for dinner in a movie, I'm sorry. It's not possible Don't even put them like howard the duck So what's new with you guys? All right, we beat that topic into the ground. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I don't think so. So your time with us is coming to an end bin. I know, it's really sad. You were in a short last week, weren't you? I wasn't a short, I guess you could say. A very well-discussed short on the internet. You most discussed short ever. Do you know how that short came about it was actually it yeah it was Jeff's idea well
Starting point is 00:09:28 I mean my idea it became from a it came from a lunch that we had with Ben with Gus and I have a Ben and we were so we were just I don't even know how we got on the subject Ben didn't know where Russia was I think it's what it was yeah I don't know why anyone would ever go to Russia he'd never heard a communism or the Cold War we were talking about the cold war it's like what's that so we started asking him just generic questions and we were so amazed about what you don't know that Brandon and those guys turned it into a short, which turned out very well, I thought. I did. But here's the thing, that I don't need to know everything in the world.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Anything would be a... You're right, you don't need to go everything. But anything would help. anything. Anything would help. There is life beyond PHP. You thought World War 2 happened in the 18 months? No, well I had no idea. But here's the thing. I went in and I thought it would just be a short and then they said okay put on mic we're gonna interview you. So there was no script. So I was like shit. So they just asked me when it was I had no idea But you can't say I don't know right so I have to make up a number and the first thing that came to ahead
Starting point is 00:10:30 No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to take an educated death. So you said I'm sorry. Yeah, you can't I'm Pearl Harbor with a missile Aderman missile it was before my time You keep saying that that's not what I'm born in the my time.

The best part of that whole thing was a very funny interview. You guys read great chemistry together on screen. It was very clever. I showed it to Griffin and the first thing she goes she looks at and she goes why did they use that dead plant in the middle? That's all I can see. That's the death with it. That's been a sore subject in this office for a while hasn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Jack's not here today. I could throw that thing away. That plant's been dying a slow miserable death for like a year on his death. Did you guys do that on purpose just to like annoy me? What? No, I thought it was at culture, you know, make it look more professional, like an injury. No, it was a sad dying bamboo plant. It wasn't sad. He had a happy life.
Starting point is 00:11:39 No, he doesn't. He's a jack-disk. He's on jack-disk, slimy building. Oh, didn't you, Jack? No. It was a sore, wouldn't that jack-disk? It was a desk. It's on Jack's desk, it's the only building. Oh, they're with Jack, no. It would absorb, it would make you happy. It's the room. It just wilted.
Starting point is 00:11:48 You can't really kill bamboo, typically, unless you just don't want it, maybe just don't want it. I think you did a really good job, Ben. Right, I did with scissors. Thank you. Were you embarrassed? No, I was fine. We wanted to have a funny video.
Starting point is 00:12:02 So if I just answered everything correctly, which would never have happened anyway. Yeah, the fact that I said, well, if I answered everything correctly, you know, as if I knew anything at all about any of you. I got things correct that they cut all out. Okay, let me see a question. Who's the prime minister of England right now? Golden Brown. Oh, it's not. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:12:23 He's gone. Oh, it's Nick Clegg and David Cameron. Baby Cameron. There you go. I don't know. Stump to you on your own current history. Man. Yeah, I'm not a big politics, geography. Well, I mean, if you think about like if we were quizzed on, you know, like kings and what or they came in and whatever, like we wouldn't know anything. There was a royal wedding recently. Yes. Who got married? Wilson Kate. What's Kate's sister's name?
Starting point is 00:12:49 HIPHER. He doesn't know. What's the name? I'm the show. He's totally useless stuff. Here's what he's going to succeed. Selena Gomez just said a new movie come out. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:59 What was it called? Monte Carlo. See, that's the stuff he knows. Yeah. I know. And actually, I saved this company from massive humiliation with my Selena Gomez Inside of the nation so I don't I don't think you saved us. I think we should have released it anyway. Yeah, it was funny Well anyway, are you a big Selena Gomez fan? Have you seen all her movies or something? No, I don't know
Starting point is 00:13:20 I'm not I don't know I don't know I don't really pay attention to it until started dating Bieber. Oh, is that why? Yeah, I thought she came on my radar I was like hmm you crashed into your world Exactly she forced away into my life Okay, who do you think is the hottest celebrity right now Ben? hottest celebrity, not exactly, but like just like who's on your radar? Like a 19 year old British dude who like for Griffin it would be like, oh I don't know uh Mr. Ed for instance. Mr. Ed. No one is gonna get that reference.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Uh what's a famous animal? Lassy. Lassy. Are there any famous raccoons? Yeah, it's true. But what would... It's not that should be one. What would yours be?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Like who's like the itch? Sheryl Coles. Sheryl Coles is a big deal. You guys kicked her out of your country though. Yeah, well, what are you gonna do? I don't know anything about celebrity gossips. No. What happened?
Starting point is 00:14:24 I thought you were a... Me? No, I just married an enthusiast. Oh, yeah. Sometimes I pick things up. Yeah, through osmosis. I like the game you guys are having on Twitter the other day. When I was about to film. I think the Twitter could block the photos. Twitter could block the photos.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Really? Yeah. But the game was very fast. So how nudity or anything of that? Who ifn had a nip slip on the one of hers? Oh, yeah. I've seen way worse on the one of hers. Oh yeah. I've seen way worse on Twitter. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:47 But what can you do? I guess why our nips slips even consider taboo. It's like fashion. Right. It's just like an accessory. Your nipples are accessories. You should put some glitter on them. It's a draw smiley face or raccoon face, whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I saw that. I thought you could let's move on. OK. I should never have told you. We're talking about celebrities. And I'm talking about you. I's move on. Okay. I should never have told you. We're talking about celebrities and I'm talking about you. Let's talk about just generic fashion. I think you're a celebrity. I'm spending an ego. Yeah, so no, I don't really pay attention like anything at all.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Oh, it's fun. It just makes life more entertaining because you don't have to worry about war and money. You feel your brain, that's a really important thing. Yeah, just the fluff fills my life. It's fantastic There you go. So none of you guys got to see fireworks this year. No Yeah, that was lame. What did you do instead? What about you guys what did you do? I got drunk in barbecue. Oh, yeah America. Did anyone get a jacks house? He had a party. No, I was at Jack's house, but I watched team wolf party. No, I was at Jack's house, but I watched Teen Wolf.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Really? Tell me more. Let me ask you a question. It was cool. The guy died. You watched a Teen Wolf on MTV. I think it was MTV. The new show. Did you know that was based on a movie? Yeah, I did, but it's nothing like the movie. No, have you seen the original movie? No, but obviously not. There's nothing like the movie then. Because I know the movie was like a comedy with that old guy. Well, he's old now. Because I know the movie was like a comedy with that old guy. Well, he's old now. He goes old at the time, but it was like just this comedy and this thing's like super depressing and Teenagers who go to difficult lives, you know, a number wolf, difficult. But it could find a furry who likes to be his.
Starting point is 00:16:18 It's just like jumping back. No, I just- We're just waiting for this to be enough. Teencoon. Maybe we could go to the mall or maybe get some kind of ghost-fimtongue-alimtongue-will. Yeah, yeah. Actually, the one thing I really do love about the drink tank is that now people when I go to any city I go to, people come up and tell me the local ghost stories. So somebody came up at the news this time and told me about a hotel in the area that was haunted.
Starting point is 00:16:40 But I didn't get a chance to go. There's some ghost in LA. Yeah. Oh, I didn't think ghost had made it out there yet. I thought it was already this but you know. Okay. Speaking of, I didn't tell you this last night because I don't want to, I don't want to speak you out of your first night in the house. Oh really? Because I heard a bunch of noises last night and I kept getting up to see if it was Millie because I heard people walking around. You know, I hadn't really, yeah, I had her come getting to sleep last night. I did too.
Starting point is 00:17:01 My parents ran down over the weekend while you were suspiciously out of town. And they, my mom had three encounters. Are you serious? Like what? She went into the bathroom once and the door was already open so there was no transfer of air. She walked in the bathroom and turned on the light and the shower curtain rippled a bunch like that and made a noise kind of freak there out and then she saw a man in Millie's room Who thought it was my dad? She turned around to talk to him. He was gone and my dad was in the living room She saw a guy in Millie's room. Yeah, and then she
Starting point is 00:17:33 Millie was scared last night too had the thing in the bathroom happen again the ripple mm-hmm So it has this fucked up. I tried to recreate it a couple times. I can do it. Yeah, I don't know Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. I love ghosts, but I don't want to live with them. You're like visiting them, but you don't like the great thing I like to hear about them in other places. You're not moving. You're just making that house bigger by building it.
Starting point is 00:17:53 So you're going to have more space for ghosts to talk. You have less ghosts per square foot when fewer, unless the ghosts invite people to move in with them. Right? Right, that's a good question though. So if you have a ghost and you expand your house, does it go into the new portion because it wasn't there before? That's right. So we're putting a second floor in with them. That's a good question though. So if you have a ghost and you expand your house, does it go into the new portion because it wasn't there before? That's right. So we're putting a second floor in our house. Maybe the ghost isn't allowed. The ghost can't go to the levitate?
Starting point is 00:18:12 No, the ghosts can have the first floor. That's the ghost room or the ghost house. I mean, you're all coming upstairs. There you go. It's our base. Isn't in Japan they have those like spirit houses where they have the little carved-stoned things at the spirits like they invite spirits to the event. Yeah, that's going to be a cool thing. Maybe we should do that, like just build a little bungalow for the ghost and be like, listen. If you're a hand-chancey of a Japanese ghost, what is this? You know, we could do a western version of it or whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So Griffin, how was anime expo? Tell us all about it. I know it was fun. And yeah, yeah, I don't have a good time. Like, it's always kind of, every con is its own flavor. And that's something like after going to a lot of them, you know, like the anime cons are definitely way more cost to me. And like, yeah, there are like a lot more of people that are a lot more involved in that sense.
Starting point is 00:19:00 If you get to like packs, it's more like a business con in a way that people don't dress up as much. So this is a very like theatrical one. There are a like packs, it's more like a business con. I don't know. Don't dress up as much. So this is a very like theatrical one. There are some really cool costumes I found. I took pictures and asked about materials and stuff. I have found that the West Coast anime cons are by far the most attended by cosplayers and people that really get into it.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Like San Jose's con. What was that? We didn't, we haven't, I don't know if you can talk about it. But there was that portal cosplay at Phantomy this year that the video is posted online. These twin girls dressed up like the main character from Portal 2 and they recreated the portals on stage. And one would walk into one and the twin would walk out of the other.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Oh, that's awesome. That's really cool. Pretty pretty cool. Like they even, you know, stood in front of each other a few times and did like the mirror thing where they were like copying each other's moves. Well, I asked a few people if they were, because they had some really elaborate costumes, I asked if they had like a competition or anything, and they didn't seem to know about it, so I don't know if there wasn't one or if they just didn't know. They probably do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yeah. It was like the masquerade. It's what they typically call it. Well, it felt like the exhibit hall didn't feel like, it didn't feel huge, and then I heard that the con was really spread out, and there were a lot of things going on elsewhere, and I just didn't know about them. I think there were supposed to be like 60,000 attendees It's like the big anime column. It didn't feel like super packed But maybe I mean they moved spaces, right? You guys also had a bomb threat, right? Well, not quite there was a bag left unattended and they made the mates of all announcements and no one came to claim it So then they had to treat it as if it were a bomb threat and then so they cleared out like the entrance hall
Starting point is 00:20:22 They left everyone in the exhibitors long like they were crewing to the toilet. It would be way too hard to believe in that. It was like terrorist experience. Oh come on. Ben. I'm great too far. I don't understand. No, it's that subtle, dry British humor.
Starting point is 00:20:34 What's the big deal about dressing up as like something for that because you spend all this money like people spend a lot of money on these costumes right? Oh yeah, crazy. I have somebody that I don't know. Well no, no, no, that's not true. Usually people that do like cosplay or go to cons, they'll have like several costumes on the like dress as one person one day and then they'll bring the other one and then you and they say, oh, I can wear it to this con because
Starting point is 00:20:53 this is actually somebody who's having a conversation about there. Somebody was dressed as a really convincing Rapunzel like she had made her own wig and everything. It was super heavy. And she was about to go to Comic Con and she's like, I don't know if it's really going to mesh with the con and they're like, oh, I don't know, it'd be great if this con have seen this and this and it was just funny hearing a comic on it. She was like, I don't know if it's really gonna mesh with the con and they're like, oh no, no, it'd be great at this con I've seen this and this. And it was just funny hearing their conversation about it. They were using them. They'll trouble them.
Starting point is 00:21:11 But what's your return on investment? Because you spend all that money, then you spend money to go to these companies. You spend more money on clothes than I think anybody else. Yeah, so yeah, let's see, don't have any. What's the return on investment from that shirt that you bought at Gap Kids? It's like, it's just con fashion. mean that's it's just another kind of fashion yeah no ask one guy he had like a solid snake costume or whatever and like I really it was it looked it was really intricate and awesome and I asked him and he
Starting point is 00:21:36 had spent like over a grand on it yeah and he don't order it but then at that point it's like it's a hobby right I mean they probably spend three or four months just making the costume yeah it's like all the people you see that dress up like stormtroopers or Spartans and stuff like these are people who you know mold Yeah, but it's also it's no different. I mean that time that they're spending it's the same kind of time You would be spending if you were doing wood carving or making a custom-built PC What more talking to a girl or talking to a girl? Yeah Whatever but they but there are a lot of girls there. Like, I was actually amazing. There actually was the largest number of good-looking people dressed up as characters that weren't
Starting point is 00:22:11 being paid for that I've ever seen. What is the reason for this? Why this place? Why this concept? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe LA is just, I mean, LA is full of attractive people. You walked down the street. It's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah, the import a lot of people in the LA. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe that's just the... Classics, surgery at 10. Was that a story? At story? At that go was game boats. Oh, you serious? Oh, I think they turned out to be fake. Was it? Yeah. I read that the, you know, Los Angeles and California in general has this huge population increase. They're like, it's constantly growing at a record pace that it's finally stopped and that they're starting to get attrition.. Like it's a it's only grown like I think it's like over the last 10 years they've had a 20% drop in people moving in. I mean it's still going up but it's not going up at near the rate it was. It's going up like 20% of the rate it was and I say that like the
Starting point is 00:22:56 bottoms finally they're finally hit the ceiling in California. So the so the multi-story is teenage just to have more kids. The most important thing is, teenage just to have more kids. No. No. I don't understand what you're talking about. Did I miss Rachel? I understood the words you said, but the way you phrased them together made no sense to me.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I saw some statistic and I'm the worst person for this kind of thing, so I never remember where or what exactly thing said. But desert cities in the United States are the fastest growing. So like Phoenix and LA for a while and then Vegas. Yeah, which is crazy because there's no water. So why are more people moving there? You know, like we don't have the resources. It's not a bound to play.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Cheap. Cheap. What do you think, son? I don't know. Buying desert lands probably a lot cheaper than buying, you know, prime forest land. I am feeling it. I don't know. I have to look into prices in Phoenix, but I didn't expect it to be cheap.
Starting point is 00:23:48 It's also good for your infosima and your rheumatoid arthritis. The dry weather. That's true. That's what old people are saying. Dr. Rimesy over here. You've got a weapon, Dave, for that. So we're going to Comic Con in two weeks. That's our next event.
Starting point is 00:24:03 You're going to that again, aren't you? Yeah. You expect to see a lot of the same anime expo people? I know. I asked people if they're going to Comic Con in two weeks, that's our next event, you're going to that again aren't you? Yeah. You expecting to see a lot of the same anime expo people? I know, I asked people if they're going to Comic Con, a lot of people said that they couldn't get, that it sold out or whatever, or they couldn't make it up there. What? What do you think? Comic Con, they have a panel? Oh, a booth. We have a booth, we're booth 1437 at Comic Con.
Starting point is 00:24:20 We do not have a panel yet. We may get one at the last year, we got one at the last minute like a week before the event Dude, but that was an awesome fucking panel. Yeah, and so maybe we'll get one. We still do not have one though Hmm I do get some people said that they would like us to talk about the cons more in advance because they didn't know we were gonna be there I just totally forgot about it. Yeah, no, that's like we did not like don't think that that day, but it was like the day before Yeah, but um, yeah, so thanks then after Comic Con, I don't know what our next event is. Uh, Odecom.
Starting point is 00:24:48 No, we ended up not going to that. Oh, which I can. Uh, my packs, it might be packs might not. I don't know. Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, That's the same weekend as past. Well, our VBTO is at this weekend? Our VBTO is this weekend. Okay, yeah. Kathleen's going to be there representing right? And Luke's going to be there.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Oh, cool. Luke and McCay. Yeah. So that's, yeah, because Kathleen just said this one, and then she's going to that, and then she's going to be at Comic Con too, so she's like doing the full circuit. Also, actually, you guys are coming to England to see me. In the bar, I think, right? Yeah, and sometime in October.
Starting point is 00:25:24 I don't know what that is though. Just to see you. It's a month. It's an American month. I have a different in England. We have different names for months. Do you? Do you make something out of that?
Starting point is 00:25:34 It's October with an RE at the end of December. Yeah, October. Do you celebrate Halloween much? Yeah, you do. It's the month with Halloween. It's a candy month. OK. It's not candy.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It's sweets. Sweet's month I like as I asked people on the continent like they don't really celebrate Halloween I don't think unless it's unless they do it kind of for fun like specifically because it's as a fun of us yeah, yeah, like just a oh Halloween or whatever like American Or books and candy please How do we have a biscuit? Look at all the American hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee he before we came into the podcast, I was like, I can't wait to replace you with a couch. Right where you're sitting,
Starting point is 00:26:25 I'm gonna put a couch right there. Yeah, it's getting a little bit cramped in the tech office. Yeah, up until today. You want my, how, you want my couch? Yeah. Oh, you do good. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. Yeah, I'll take your couch.
Starting point is 00:26:36 It'll match your office pretty well, I think. I'll take it, all right. Have fun. I love that. I'm gonna play that with an inanimate object. That's just how much, how much value I bring to you. You're just trying to get rid of the, you're adhering a couch and about 17 people a day
Starting point is 00:26:49 that comes in on it. You like that. But your office is really cold and, it is really cold. Ben bitched about it the entire time when you first got here. So I raised the temperature. It's not nearly as cold anymore. I'm wearing shorts.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Look at me. No, I'm not cold at all today. Yeah, and I usually am. It's been a turnaround cold in my I'm wearing shorts look at me. Yeah, no, I'm not cold at all today Yeah, I usually it's it's been a turnaround Working some rooster teeth it's like when you're when you don't know what to talk about with someone just talk about the weather It's like oh cold, huh? It's amazing like you know we had the office to a video people were saying they wanted to see more of the office Like the ones the under the desk. There's nothing under the desk Yeah, that's what we want them to think Sorry, we hit all the doorstep., they want to see under the desk. There's nothing under the desk. Yeah, that's what we want them to think. That's where we get all the goals though.
Starting point is 00:27:28 That's where we get the red camera under the desk. So is this your first time on the drug thinking a while, Griffin? Yeah, I feel like, no, no, I wasn't on the one right before Anime Expo. Oh, okay. Yeah, but then before that, I'd have been like a few, or a couple that I hadn't been on.
Starting point is 00:27:41 So, it's all I'm lonely in the studio today. Oh, yeah, I'm so new. Yeah, because Monty is left a day later. Monty called me this morning. Oh, no. And woke me up. Because he was at the airport and he didn't know what airline he was flying back to Austin on. You got to the airport but didn't know what airline he was flying back to.
Starting point is 00:28:00 How did you have it like an email? I had gone over it and made the arrangements with him. I printed out the confirmation, given him a paper copy and forwarded him an email. Wouldn't that have been a good one? Yeah, go on it. And one would assume that he would be taking the same airline back that he took.
Starting point is 00:28:16 No, it was a weird travel arena. Oh, was it two times? Oh, one year, the story comes out. A weird travel arena that he wanted. And I made you a request for the QA. Oh, I see. It's not like I was like, Hey, I'm going to screw you up on purpose. That's like talking to screw you up. It was totally my must know.
Starting point is 00:28:32 You're a dastardly plan. Yeah. Yeah. So I got to the office early today, because thanks to Monty. Thanks, Monty. Oh, I won't be here till Friday, but somebody in Africa, his name, but I'll have to look through my personal comments and see if he messaged me. Gave us a bottle of gin, and so it's being shipped here. And it's like some kind of unique gin that it tastes different, like it's made in a totally different way. And it's supposed to be rare. I suppose to be rare, but then when I went to ship it at the liquor store because you can't, I guess, I don't know if it's California, but it can't ship alcohol. Yeah, that's, yeah. So I had to go and get and get a box there and everything.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And yeah, they had it on the shelf. Like, it's not super super rare, but it was really tasty. Does it get you a special kind of drunk, or just regular drunk? No, I don't know. He asked us, he decided to donate it for the drunk thing. So that's awesome. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:29:17 We will crack it open and drink it. Yeah. Iying our liquor store. I know, like since RTX, it's really been depleted. Yeah, also thanks to the dude that's in charge. He's a giant bottle of Jack Daniels too, Jack and I last week since RTX, it's really been depleted. Also, thanks to the dude that's in charge of giant bottles of Jack Daniels too, Jack and I last week. Yeah, it's huge. He is big. Where is it now? Just doing the office. Don't worry. It's under control. I have. You've got to talk me in on it. That's right. It's hiding under a desk.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Do you have enough feel like if people send you alcohol, though, you could die. Do you not worry of people sending you stuff on the other seal True, but like it's a little bit you get a risk been Once in a while yeah, alcohol is already opposing right you're already slowly killing yourself, right? Sometimes you just sometimes you just gotta close your eyes and put something strange in your mouth And hope that it turns out well. Carrie has been flirting with me all the time. Oh no! And I, I know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Why do you have to take it sexual? Everything is sexual with you. I'm not taking it. I'm just sitting here. God damn it. I'm just sitting here. Just sitting doing nothing at all. So, I really grow a story. Okay. I think like two weeks ago I'm gonna read you the headline Japan scientists synthesizes meat from human feces
Starting point is 00:30:33 This guy I he calls it I don't know if he calls it it, but they kept referring to it as a shit burger Some kind of meat that synthesized from sewage mud. That, why, why? Why, I understand that yes, it would make probably better for the world of it. No, but why? We have a global hunger crisis coming. Think of it. It takes a lot of resources to raise cattle, right?
Starting point is 00:30:58 They say it's like super inefficient. It creates a lot of greenhouse gas because of all the shit running. That's the aid and everything. So why not, you know, you could do that, but they're blocking it as a shit bug. Yeah. Might as well be more appealing than a shit bug. Like a phew, your extrip. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Right. There you go. No, hey, no. I understand the reasoning behind it, but would you ever put that in your mouth? No, no, no. No, no. I don't care how much science has fed, like, mess with it.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It's not. It's the meat in quotation marks. It's 63% protein, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids, and 9% minerals, and 2% corn chunks. Oh, you see what that says? The meat packet. So you don't even need a sive. It says here, the meat packing industry
Starting point is 00:31:40 causes 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, because of the release of methane. Mostly because of the release some methane from animals. I would just be, let's just be convincing you guys, if this is what eating meat makes us do, let's just stop. Honestly, it looks like chocolate soft serve. You can see it right there. Yeah, I can see it.
Starting point is 00:31:58 No, I can see it. The thing is though, if they use this, you won't know about it. It will be the new secret McDonald's recipe. I'm pretty sure they'd have to tell you before feeding you a chicken burger. What would they have to tell you? I'm pretty sure yes. In this country, yes. And you're a country, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:12 You probably don't know either. What's it like? Oh man. Can you get mad cow disease from that? I don't know. Who's lining up to try this? I don't think anyone's lining up to try it yet. I'm anyone's trying to try it. I like how much people that need it It just seems like science for science like this is making something no one's gonna. You know what?
Starting point is 00:32:31 I'm gonna call bullshit. You would eat it No, I would think in your mouth. You try any griffin. What do we always tell our daughter? You have to try everything I'm not gonna try a ship burger. No, I know you sure No, I wouldn't do you would try human flesh before you would try a ship That's a no brain. Yeah, I think I do that. You would try human flesh before you would try shit, bro. Probably. Yeah, that's a no brain. That's a no, yeah, I think I'm totally just fine saying it. You know, I was thinking, I'll take this wrong way. I was thinking about it. You're a black person. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:32:54 And I started wondering if there'd be any consistency between different people. Like if you ate one person who was a vegetarian, would they taste drastically different? I would think so. The person who was a meat eater. Like, does grass-set beef taste different in corn? Yeah, exactly. That's what made me think about it. And then I started realizing that it would be nearly impossible to eat an organic person. Why?
Starting point is 00:33:14 Most people have chemicals and stuff exposed to them constantly. Oh, I see. So yeah, because even if they're not putting in their bodies, they're putting it on their bodies or whatever, walking through something. Yeah, I can see that. Fascinating discussion. I was thinking about this when I was picking up steaks of Costco. Just in case. I love this. Is human flesh then?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Good Lord. Why not? That's an interesting question, right? I bet you never thought about it. You never thought about it. I don't think about anything. Yeah, I think that's the character of the last drawer. So it. You never thought about it. I don't think about anything So it's been a high-barrel podcast
Starting point is 00:33:52 Have you so is anyone playing anything since we should probably talk about video games at some point? You know, I'm I feel like I'm kind of in a gaming rut and I've actually started playing Fallout 3 again Fallout 3 again. Yeah, and after all you're complaining. No, I can blame about New Vegas Oh, okay, because of new Vegas that I went back and I'm playing Hall of Three now. Okay. New Vegas has DLC coming out in two weeks and it's because of the 19th. But yeah, Fallout 3 is an awesome game. LA Nord DLC next week.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Nice. Refer madness. It seems to me like Fallout 3 is just depressing. Like you're just living out in the apocalypse. Why would you want to subject yourself to just horrible, horrible, mental... You don't want to watch this team wolf, don't horrible mental? You're the one who watches Teen Wolf. Don't talk to me about horrible things.
Starting point is 00:34:27 No, that's lighthearted at least. I mean, you said it was depressing, but angrily. Oh, yeah, angsty. It was like, no. And that's why I heard my parents don't understand me. But like, this is just the end of the world. Wouldn't you want to play something at, you know, fun and bright? It's not the end of the world.
Starting point is 00:34:41 It's the rebuilding of the world. Oh, yeah. So you're turning up revenue. So you're, so you're like the most important person in the world. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So you're turning up revenue. So you're like the most important person in the world. So that's why it appeals to you. Because you're rebuilding the world. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:52 What the fuck is he saying? I don't know. Pean should have more baby. There's definitely a language barrier here. There's some kind. I'm playing everything. We're having a, it's this month is the three year anniversary of Achievement Hunter. Oh, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Oh, thank you very much. I wish you get your present. Yeah, we're our terrible threes. So to accommodate that, we're doing a ton of community events, but we're doing a month long achievement race to 50,000 points. So I'm playing every like football game from the last six years. I just played and beat Megamind the other night. Fantastic game, if you're interested.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And right now I'm playing Fear 3, which is very hard. So I remember that one achievement race you did with Bernie. And you were pretty much gone mentally for two weeks. Is that going to be a whole month of that? Well, there was a lot of preparation ahead of time, which I guess you're talking about. But then the race only lasted three days. Cause I hit 10,000 points in less years.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Oh right, right. But no, I'm not gonna put that level of effort into this. I just want to place well. I've like, finished in the top 10. I'm not necessarily trying to win. So, when does it start? It started July 1st. Okay, are there prizes?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Why? No, there have to be, right? I guess now there are, I don't don't know sure I'll come up with something All right, cool. What do I want to win for me? You know what you won't be able to play much longer. What's that Star Wars galaxies? Oh, yeah shutting down That's got to mean that the older public it or the older public's coming out soon, right? I think so Down by the end of the year, and I think I've read the other day that some players are suing Sony online and try to keep Galaxy's going. People are up for that.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Really? Wow. Dude, what is your like, argument for that? Like, what else am I gonna do with my time? Play the new Star Wars game. If I had, I guess if I had suffered through that game for how long it was been, eight, nine years? Eight years, I think? Yeah, if I had invested that much time into that broken world, I would,
Starting point is 00:36:46 eventually you get like Stockholm Syndrome, right? For the game, I mean, the worker. So, yeah, those people are probably the color-dont we syndrome in the dollar-says? Those people probably need a lot of help. That is kind of an interesting thing to think of, because I knew people that played like, I requested, I knew people that,
Starting point is 00:37:04 actually, you know, he was my team leader back at the old company. And that is why I found every question. Yeah, and they got married in every question. Like, so that, at that point, like you're really invested in a game, you know? Like, and if they shut it down, I mean, you've got all this time and everything
Starting point is 00:37:21 that you built up at that point, all the things that you consider status are gone. And you don't have a say over it. Surely it's just a crashing realization that that status doesn't mean anything Well, but who's to say doesn't that stuff exists? Yeah, no, but who's to say I mean, you know You just fucking in favor of cosplay people and the what people put their time into it any hobby you put your time into it You know, but that's something tangible. This is intense. Yeah, like you are making real things in the real world your time into it, you know. Yeah, but that's something tangible. This is intense. Yeah, like you are making real things in the real world. Oh, I'm a big game-im-op player, but none of that stuff exists. You can't take it with you. I
Starting point is 00:37:50 can't show you anything. Yeah, but how many hours would you say you put into wow collectively? Oh, God. Thousands. Yeah, but I don't understand what you're arguing. I take anything with you when you get dead. Oh, yeah. No, I know that it's like, did you have, like, from point A to point, did you have fun, and that's all the matters, right? So if you have fun playing in a mother and you have fun, then it's just as tangible as real as watching a Gordon Ramsay cooking show. But let's say, let's say, let's say,
Starting point is 00:38:15 we put like tons and tons in time into like, so somebody puts a lot of time into like a community site. And they've got all their photos that people have commented on over the years, and they have all these things that they, like little memories or whatever. I mean, you guys should understand that. And somebody just decides, well, we're tired of this and wipe it.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I don't know. I mean, wouldn't that bug you? Is this a good time to talk about turning off the Rochiteeth community? What are you doing? No, no, no, no, I'm just saying, guys, fuck it. Because even if it's a virtual space,
Starting point is 00:38:36 they put time into it and that, in that sense, they made it real to them and people that they communicate with. No, I totally agree. I don't know. Absolutely agree. But you still can't look back at them now. I mean, like, mean like I mean like a website you can look back at it and save it but like there's a lot of stuff they haven't wow it's like you can't go back to this memory now anyway hey
Starting point is 00:38:54 no wait I'm gonna speak enough shutting down I'm gonna make you a subject level but speaking of shutting down social websites did Justin Timberlake by Myspace or something last week? yeah he's a part of Myspace now oh really? part owner yeah he's gonna turn it into a now. Oh really? Part owner, yeah. He's gonna turn it into a reality show. I was at a town that I thought I heard that headline, but I wasn't sure if I was having a weird dream. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Are you serious about the reality show? Yeah, it's gonna turn into a contest, a singing contest. I think that their angle was that there isn't a place online for a community site online that's focused on music and connecting with your fans. My space is kind of the closest you have. I mean, I think a lot of people gave up on my space because it was just bands sending you like friend requests all the time. Last few years, my space has been entertainment. Like it's not a social network really anymore.
Starting point is 00:39:40 But yeah, just in terms of like, I want to turn it into the destination for entertainment consumption and participation, which is a lofty goal. How did you remember that? Because it's pop culture. It's things that happened in the last year. It didn't involve. So you've got a brain like a goldfish, essentially. Okay, that's good to know. But those things I know very clearly. It didn't involve global conflict. It was the destruction of his country.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Hey, I don't need to know if my country's destroyed. I just need to be, I'm in a room right now. Who cares? Who cares about politics? Why do we need to know about politics? You never wondered why your country was sold, but every building in it was going to have a bunch of fucking s**t. That never roused my mind. Why do we need to know about politics? Did you ever wonder why your country was so old, but every building in it was good. Everyone was like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I never asked my mind. Just like one of those things. There are old buildings. You know, we've been arrested for over 10 years, but this is all we've got is the hood. When I was in high school, then I hated history. I used to hide books in my history books, so it looked like I was reading my history book while I was reading, you know, well, there's a thing to do with it. But yeah, so I didn't care about it at all, but then it as it became an adult, and I started
Starting point is 00:40:52 to hear it like more personal story based in local history and stuff that I could see. Oh, that changed this and that changed this. It would be more interesting to me. And I think that in school, it's different because you're only hearing about like world leaders and wars and think major events like that. And it's not, you don't see history at a personal level. And I think that that makes a difference. And I think as you get older you should learn to appreciate it more because it informs you about the world that you're living in.
Starting point is 00:41:17 But so it may, you may feel differently. But like Jack was saying to me the other day, you should know about it so that you should know about the past so you can learn from the mistakes people may, right? But I'm never going to want to start a nuclear war. So I'm not going to personally learn from those people's mistakes. Never say never. Well, that could start a nuclear thread war in the forums. Yeah, it honestly. But it's not just wars. I mean, there's history, you know, isn't just about war. It's about invention and all You know, which other things social issues. Yeah, like you could learn from other things
Starting point is 00:41:50 You just and I think that's the point. It's that when you're learning in school It's kind of focused on those major things that aren't interesting to everybody You know, what if terrorists tried to kill Justin Bieber tried to kill Justin Bieber. I think it's the content of that. It would not change my life. No, I'm not. Oh yeah, I guess I am. I kind of like a show bit, but you know.
Starting point is 00:42:14 What is the Hershey chocolate factory got taken over by communist? We don't have pet shoes in my country. Who makes it? Cadbury it Cadbury Cadbury there Yeah, and one by Nisly now I think yes Got taken over by communist and you were no longer able to get Cadbury That's fine. I will see pizza Dominoes there you go. Exactly. If Dominoes went away that literally would be the end of my life
Starting point is 00:42:43 That would that would be just because I can't cook Isn't that what they thought about communism like in the 60s like the domino effect like your Healthy stage would fall that's right see history Just tied it around full circle right there. You don't even know what the fuck happened If you say so I it's just you people are dinosaurs. I'm in the I'm the new generation and we don't give a shit about it. That's terrifying. Yeah, great This is this is the doomed world that is coming before you as I say last week Bernie asked what era we're in now And I was totally right the centozoic
Starting point is 00:43:17 Oh really remember that at all I'm very proud of myself the Cenozoic how did we get so unfortunate to be Sandwiched in between the baby boomers on one side and the bends on the other side? It's the baby boomers and the baby brains. We might be in the most, in the like the unluckiest place in history.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Yeah. As a generation, it's so sad. So did you see that during the Halo Fest packs this year that 343 is gonna have the older original Xbox controllers. I heard about that. They're like they're putting some into production right. What is that thing called? They had a name Duke the Duke that's right. They're not like making them for real like a sell. They're like the commissioning a guy. Yeah, and then I think they're going to auction them off. How many are they making enough? Like 10 or 20. I don't think I saw how many
Starting point is 00:44:05 they're making, but I don't imagine there'll be too many. So you guys are going to Pax, right? Yes. Who's going this year? I can't make it because my brother is just gonna be graduating basic training. He's in the Air Force. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I think Jeff and I will be there in Bernie. Some people will be in Canada that we can. I think Joel and Matt are gonna be in Canada, but this is also to change. Yeah. I think Joel and Matt are going to be in Canada, but this is also a change. Yeah. I think that's the current plan, but it could change. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Are you going to Pax? Yeah, of course. I've never missed a Pax. I think I planned a new Pax. I missed a Pax last year, and I didn't really want to miss this year, but it seems like everything always happens on that weekend. Yeah, it's a popular weekend. You're going to be going to the Recon.
Starting point is 00:44:43 That'll be fun. Yeah. Yeah. The Salad is. I. I will say that about Comic-Con is that it's just so, I mean, I haven't been in years. Like I went on that first one when I was pregnant. But it's so busy and the bigger cons like that are just so busy that the time flies a lot faster. Dude, it's a whole different world now. It's a lot of work though. Also, they've extended the hours significantly since those days. Yeah, and they will open before they The hours that they put that happen to anime x1 on the first day It was like all of these premiere whatever we didn't know that it was like an hour early
Starting point is 00:45:12 So we were just like scrambling to get the booth together It the days are 10 hour days now these to be eight and then they were nine now They're 10 hour days that it's open and they will open an hour early every day. Yeah, no matter it's no Explanation like when I was that like 2008, I thought I was gonna die. From the long, long years. I remember that. I got all the reports. Ben had to carry a box.
Starting point is 00:45:31 He almost died. I remember that too. I remember that too. We needed the help. We had to carry boxes. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're staying at that same hotel this year.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Okay. Nice hotel. Nice pool. Yeah, it's close. Yeah, it is close. Oh yeah, the close hotel, like our anime expo hotel that was so close was in it and he'll tell it was right next to it. It was a fucking mile away, Gus. It was the event hotel.
Starting point is 00:45:52 They do me that. I had to walk a mile there and a mile back every day. They're so close. I'm in the snow. Come on, don't you know? I've been there. I've been doing this concept for years. So you should know.
Starting point is 00:46:08 All right. Yeah, so but luckily the weather was nice. Why didn't you just catch a ride on a compony? Like I said, there weren't that many ponies. It was just foxes. So I saw the other day totally weird subject. I saw the other day that Birkhing is having this promotion. I think it's like on direct TV or something. I don't remember. And it's one of those satellite TV channels where they have direct TV. You turn to a specific channel and all they do on that channel is show a whopper. And like a Burger King logo. And if you watch it for five minutes, they like up an arrow appears on the screen and you hit it on your remote and you get a free whopper. And if you watch for, you can keep watching it for like 10 more minutes. And then when the arrow pops up again, you hit it, you get two free whoppers. Then if you want, you can watch watching it for like 10 more minutes and then with arrow pops up again You hit it you get two free walkers
Starting point is 00:46:46 Then if you want you can watch for another 15 minutes then the arrow appears again You can hit it for another free walker. So you just stare at the best idea in full You just stare at a hamburger right here TV and when it tells you you hit a button and you get free hamburger I just like that. What is the Pavlovie ever like you hit a button? You hit a button? I got to say Burger King whoever their ad agency is for quite a while now they've been the most experimental like major chain with trying different forms of advertising and it's crisp in porter and boguski okay I mean they went from they went and they made those video games for the 360 that were very
Starting point is 00:47:21 popular that was a cool idea they were the first to do that and then you know Doritos and Toyota and a bunch of other places. A bunch of companies followed up behind them. I'm about to get in pop, you know, because I feel like it's just McDonald's now. Now Burger King's pretty popular. The number two behind McDonald's. That's like the Pepsi to McDonald's Coke. This is this article I'm looking at. It's like three weeks old now, but at the time I guess they had measured that they had gotten people to watch 5,000 hours of walkers on their direct cloud. That's crazy. So I wonder if people are like just to crave them and like picture them in their sleep. That's the point, right?
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. And you can see kind of a screenshot there what it looks like. It's just like I used to the burger on a pedestal with the Burger King logo above it. Does the flame go, it has a little flame around it. Does it just like? And I will see. I'm going to look at the videos. We're going to watch it.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Oh, there it is. Look at that. See, it's even got the timer on it. We're gonna watch it. Oh, there it is. Look at that. See, it's even got the time we're on it. Oh, that's convenient. Oh, and it spins too. You know, every good form of a hypnosis starts to spin. See, I'm angry. Yeah, I'm angry.
Starting point is 00:48:11 This would be a popular, I think, video I think. A lot of people would be saying direct tank on that video. Nice. But that's really interesting. No, I think it's very cool. Well, there were the, as far as experimental advertisements, it was in its sprite that was connected with lost, that would do like the weird sprite ads, like the lemon, and you know what I'm talking about? Like advertisements, was it a sprite that was connected with lost, that would do the weird sprite ads,
Starting point is 00:48:26 like the lemon and you don't talk about? Like it was a- They did do some stuff. Sprite, who was it? Dr. Pepper did a bunch with Battle for the Back Company too, right? Or with EA, EA. Where you would get DLC from ballcaps. Oh, that's kind of interesting.
Starting point is 00:48:40 There was a really kind of creeper one, I think it was Piccolo, where they had the cinema ad, where they would burn the logo into your eyes when you close your eyes you would see the logo. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before.

I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that before. I've seen that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that special commercials for the Lost Finale? I don't know if you remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We did a comic about it. Yeah, yeah. Those are pretty good. But it's cool when they tailor the advertising to, you know, the show or whatever their distribution. Well, it's just, it's kind of almost like the Super Bowl commercials, but like spreading out and diversifying, you know.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I see kind of ideas for as like the. That's a good point. Yeah, I don't know why. Because it was a big finale. Everyone's going to be watching it. So is Rebecca Black's video still offline, is still not on YouTube? I think it's on YouTube rentals, right? Is it? It's not on the rentals, I think it's gone. Oh really? They were gonna move it to YouTube rentals, that was the whole point.
Starting point is 00:49:34 She's moved on to the Katy Perry video now. Huh? What? She's in the Katy Perry video. Oh, is she? Yeah? Yeah, she's in the, yeah, that's Friday night. Have you not seen it? No, is that a kitty-perry song? Yeah, it's like is like a new song and Rebecca Black plays herself in this video. That's my world war two. Right. Katy Perry. Really?
Starting point is 00:49:54 Like Katy Perry? No, I just don't know anything about it. Oh I see. I'll tell you guys. I'll sound like an idiot for you if you want. You just can't say I don't know. That would be fun. I buy her nail polish.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Rebecca Black has nail polish? No, no, no. Katie Perry has a line. The nail polish. Is it good? I like it. Yeah, it's fun. It's my new thing. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:13 So I was hanging out with Kathleen and Jairdan and his friend Thalia and Caleb and Kamma, which is Kathleen's boyfriend. And so we had fireworks and stuff after the con and kind of relaxed and Thought I was talking about how she used to paint her dogs toenails So I painted my dogs toenails last night It was very challenging to do when your dogs excited to see you and the ways 95 pounds. Yeah, looks pretty good though
Starting point is 00:50:36 No, what color? Pink because I think it looks nice against Grafer Plus people think she's a boy because she's big so I was trying to help her out A little bit more feminine. How did that go at Doggie Daycare today? No, they were excited. She's popular bitch in the... She already is.
Starting point is 00:50:53 There's that dry British humor. There you go. Do you know the Benny Hill is? No. Wow. You know speaking of Benny Hill and British humor, I saw this video the other day on YouTube. You know what? I was some video, so I might not have been YouTube. Did you know there was a comic who died on stage during the life, life televised performance in the UK? No. Like back in the 80s,
Starting point is 00:51:17 he was doing a bit and it's all of a sudden in the middle of a bit collapsed and everyone started laughing. They thought it was part of the bit and he had a heart attack there on stage. This is like wow. Yeah, and then they pulled it behind the curtain and tried to give them CPR. And then they waited till the next commercial break until at the paramedic sign to take him off stage. Oh my God. I used to be waiting for a commercial break. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:51:37 And he died. I can't remember the guy's name now. I'll look it up and put it in the link, don't. But that's going to be, I mean, the way a comedian would want to go, right? I assume that- The laughing would want to go right? I think I assume that the laughing is your Oh He died while he was he's like
Starting point is 00:51:51 Oh pretful So is he like plastic medium? Oh, I don't know. I don't know anything about him. I don't stay during a live performance That's yeah, okay It would suck if you died and you didn't have to die because people are laughing But I guess that's sort of like the boy who cried a little right? Hmm. I guess so. You don't fall in the same way.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You look at your life. So people think everything's a joke, and that's what I mean. That's what he tried to entertain those people. No, no. He showed him. No, that's not what I meant. No, but if you, if you, if you always like if everything's a joke, then you know people will think you're joking. So everything is just kind of a little warning? Is that what's going on?
Starting point is 00:52:25 Yeah, well, Jeff. It's very deep stuff. No, here's the thing. Jeff thinks that he's just because he likes to joke around all the time and everything's a joke to him, that he doesn't have the extra responsibility for any of the things that he says. Yeah, that's absolutely true, I know.
Starting point is 00:52:37 He's just like, oh, I was kidding. I heard you're so sorry. I was a joke. Can't take a joke? Like, you're doing it. And someday you're going to be having a hard attack on stage. That's fun. I'll take that.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Oh, are you Jeff Ramsey? My philosophy is working out very well for me. Thank you very much. Hey, did you guys see Transformers 3? Yeah. Yeah. Did you like it? It was just so, it was just the funniest bad movie ever.
Starting point is 00:53:03 I think that's the whole planet. Exactly. It was just. How do they explain. I think that's the whole planet. Exactly. It was just. How did they explain the fact that Megan Fox is gone and replaced? It was amazing. They basically said she dumped him because she was a bitch. And then this new girl, this new English girl,
Starting point is 00:53:18 was so amazing and perfect. And way better than that old woman. Did they even reuse any old Megan Fox footage? No, it wasn't. No, it's not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Just like staring at the distance. You're describing a fantastic sounding movie. Well, it was an amazing shot. That's a Michael Bay movie. Yeah. It was like the Verizon commercial he had.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Why? I might know when we saw the shots they used on the island. We pointed, we were like, yeah, the island. What? I don't know what you're talking about. They used shots on the island in the movie. Did we not talk about that already? No, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:54:01 There was this article where you know, Michael Bay's movie moved the island. They reused shots from it and added transformers on top. In this car chase sequence, these cars are going everywhere on this highway and they used those shots in Transformers 3 and just added in the Transformers on top of the footage. Huh. Well, you talk about that, your Hanson movie. Either McGregor or Skulljah Hanson.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. He's gone, so I saw it. I saw that movie forgot about that. Yeah, it's gone so I said. I saw that movie on theater. It was okay. You wasn't very few. I think, I bet that movie made,
Starting point is 00:54:31 I bet that movie did well with a very few. Were you even alive in that movie came out? That movie doesn't matter, because it's been wasn't alive at the time. There you go. I, speaking of the movies, I have not seen Transformers 3. And I don't think I will just because shit
Starting point is 00:54:45 Griffin and I couldn't get through Transformers 1 but the trailer was awesome. I got in there. Yeah, but Have you seen the has anybody seen the new mission of hospital trailer for Ghost Protocol? Oh? Yeah, I have what do you think? It's good. I wish the trailer wasn't so cutie That way you could see a little more. What was happening? Sure. But the stuff you could see was awesome. Yeah, exactly. I think that it's good when they don't show you too much. I hate watching, like, when we're trying to decide what to rent, like, unzion or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And we'll watch a preview and then we'll know the movie. We're like, well, you don't have to see it. I mean, it's like, to the point where, like, I had to pause it and go back and like, pose it, then, like, you see, like, two frames or something awesome. Like, that's awesome. It's easy to trailer. Yes, full trailer. It's a long trailer, too.
Starting point is 00:55:24 I gotta say that Tom Cruise is such an enigma to me. He must be the best actor in the world because anytime he's off camera, I can't stand him and Scientology and that whole thing. He just seems like a kind of a gross person. But then you see him in a trailer or in a movie and suddenly, and you're like, this is the coolest dude ever. Ethan Hunt is the coolest dude of all time. Last night, I was telling my wife about the new trailer. She didn't watch it, but when I told her how Jeremy Renners
Starting point is 00:55:50 is going to be taking over the franchise, she goes, oh, that's not a good choice. I don't think he'd be very good for that. I said, no, who do you think? She said, I think Shia LeBouf would be better for her. Oh my God. He's like a slightly tougher Michael Sera. He's already got Transformers and Indian Agents.
Starting point is 00:56:02 He's out of Transformers now. Anyway, the island made $35 million domestically. Oh shit, well then, you were right. That did not do. You made $150 million. You made $120,000 for him. Okay, so $150 million would be like $162. 162, that's not too bad.
Starting point is 00:56:15 But I feel like that whole, like, not giving much away thing really helps with some things, like Super 8. I knew nothing about Super 8 at all. I still need to watch that. For saying it. It's an amazing movie. It's so good. It's my new favorite movie.
Starting point is 00:56:27 And I don't say that very often. But you will say that. I'll say it till you run into the ground though. I think we already talked about this, right? But one of the kid actors in that movie is when we worked with, for some... Oh, right. One of the A-on pieces. Yeah, that was in the A-on videos.
Starting point is 00:56:41 And that was when, I Christian Marshall before they worked for the company, when they were contracted, right? Do we ever tell our JJ Abrams story on the podcast? I think we did after it happened last year. Oh, when you guys were like, being creepy and... We were like two seconds away from being obnoxious and the bartender stopped us. Yeah. I'm glad he did.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Thank you, bartender. Maybe the only people in the world that have sat down next to JJ Abrams at a bar have looked at them and moved as far away from them as possible. You got like even more of a complex in any way. Yeah, like what's wrong with me? Yeah, it's like, oh, chlorophylled. All right, we should wrap this shit up. Oh, should we go find some lunch somewhere? Are you going to be too busy editing this?
Starting point is 00:57:22 I could find some lunch. Let's go. Oh, shit. I'm going to write a date with Brennan. Oh you can Maybe yeah, did you bring that whole thing up just to brag the other day? Oh, sorry guys. I'm way too busy You want to go to lunch? Oh, that's too bad. It's like can't Other plans Brennan are going to get raccoon costumes You guys are invited
Starting point is 00:57:42 Well, we're'll wrap this up. Thanks for listening. Talk to you guys. Bye! Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples? Alright, example. Together in Trempit hosts...
