the dude with a guitar
Do you think that guy was being ironic like does he know it's bad or is he like this is my masterpiece?
This is my moment. What are you talking about? It was awesome
Okay, yeah, but he should have had an echo effect or something to make it more
Atmospheric yeah, yeah, you get have that atmosphere when you're going to do Gugory.
You got to feel the energy of the monks.
It's like, it's like harkening back to the original Halo 1 theme song.
Yeah.
Remember that ship?
Yeah, I remember it.
Oh, Gus is being serious.
He likes it.
Yeah, it's awesome.
Gus is a fan.
I'm a fan of any theme song that I don't personally have to create.
I don't have to create it.
It's the best theme song I've ever heard.

This is not going to be a good day for you. Yeah, this is not my marital
not benefit from this in any way, but I don't know that my marriage benefited from a conversation.
So she texted. I thought we could be honest with each other. We're being honest with each
other and a couple hundred thousand people. She texted me and she goes, I think I have
a problem. I do. I go, what's going on? She goes, I think I have a problem. I go, what's
going on? She goes, I think I'm into furries. I can say I'm into furries. I said, I'm
in. Oh my. Fascinating. No, no, no, no. I said I'm in trees. I met so many furries today.
I saw you on your Twitter account. You posted a picture of you. Very interesting. I'm
very interested to know more about furries. She goes, I don't think it's sexual, but I'm not sure.
No, I didn't sit.
You said an asshole.
The whole thing is sexual.
No, it's not.
I don't think it's all sexual.
If you could blow in one animal, what animal would you blow? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not going into sexual place of this. I'm just saying it's very interesting. I saw a lot of furries. I haven't been around them before. I've seen them online. I have a lot of
interesting. I mean, who does that? I mean, why do they do it? 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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I'm doing amazing five. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
Well, we're'll wrap this up.
Thanks for listening.
Talk to you guys.
Bye!
