It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motormouth outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church.

Twisted metal, now only on peacock Hey, it's a pike. Was that a ukulele? I think it was, yeah, the file is named ukulele. That was not a ukulele. That was definitely not a ukulele? I think it was. Yeah, the file is named ukulele. That was not a ukulele. That was definitely not a ukulele. That was probably one of the most appropriately named users to submit a theme song ever. What was it? Heavy Steel. Ooh, I like it.

That sounds like a Japanese dragon fighting game. Heavy Steel. Heavy Steel. Didn't they announce a new steel battalion the other day that's coming out It's gonna be like connect enabled probably. I don't know. They're announcing so much stuff a game is calm right now It's it's out of control Yeah, they're I guess they I'm pretty sure they announced a new steel battalion game for the for the 360 That's gonna be use a combination of connect and your controller

Oh, I for people who don't remember steel battalion was an old original Xbox game that I believe cost either $2 or $300. Oh my God. It came with a giant, I'm showing Kathleen here with my hands. It came with a controller about this big. Oh my God. And it would like, it was sat there and you had like all the controls it was supposed to be like a mech simulator. And if you died in the game, you died in real life.

You're done. You erased your save file. Oh my gosh. And you had to start over. Like there was an eject button you could use. So if you were losing a mission, you had to eject. If you didn't eject and your Mac exploded, you died and your save game got erased. That's crazy. What's the new thing going to be? How are they going to resurrect this? It actually is a Mac. It costs $3,000. It's Toyota. It shows up your cut. It's a combination of of normal Xbox controller and connect. They said you're going to start your engine using Connect and I don't know the specifics.

Hey, we should introduce all the people in the podcast, Miss Gus. Oh, yeah, I guess we have some unusual people here. Thank you. And also people that don't show up very often. That's true. Yeah. We have Kathleen. Oh, yeah.

Hi, Kathleen. Hey, hi, Jack. I am Jack. Jack. Here's Jack. Michael Michael. Yeah, great quick Were you on the podcast before yes? He was on the once I think he said three words. Okay.

Yeah, bring it up bring it up a notch there. It's been that energy sir

Also, it games come. I know I saw there was a... Lollipop chainsaw. Lollipop chainsaw. What is that? What is that? It's a game about a cheerleader who wheels a chainsaw to kill zombies. Oh my gosh.

There's just a trailer for it. It looks fantastic. It reminds me of those other Japanese games, the Oni Trabara series, which are not very popular, I don't think, in the US, but it's all like girls and bikinis fighting zombies. Oh, yeah, there you go. I think that even, I think that series is even,

has movies that are in Japan. I think you can stream on it to a moon on Netflix. It's a popular cosplay costume. What's the lollipop? It's a very popular one. What's the lollipop? What's that just an, I don't know. It opens up with her eating a lollipop. Is really? Yeah, the chain saw has like a heart on it

Yeah, it looks pretty fun It's pretty insane. I think it's made by the same people that make that me a shout out to the damn But so it's pseudo 51. He was like fucking filthy. Yeah, I was agree with a great game But it was like 90% dick jokes. Yeah whole game It was actually really shout out. It's the damn your weapon is to the show that the Andrew Weapon is called the boner. Yeah, and you get the hot boner. The big boner. The big boner.

The blue boner. The big boner is my favorite. The blue boner. I also saw there was an old republic video, I guess, for people. Oh, yeah. There was a rate. A rate and a rate and wiping. Very clearly.

It's like, here's eight people. You know what they're doing. And immediately dial a second. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but I heard Jack listening to it. And the guys like, well who know what they're doing and immediately die on the second phase. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but I heard Jack listening to it and he's like, well, fuck, they're dead. Thanks for watching. Good job.

Good job, everyone's like, I'm sure it was like a time thing where they only had like, you know, 10 minutes to show. So they intentionally looked themselves die. I would hope. Yeah, intentionally. I'm sure that it seemed like the healer quit healing. Yeah. I'm sure there's people watching who's never played before screaming at them.

They're instructions of what to do. Um, here's the force.'s never played before screaming at them. The instructions what to do. Here's the force. I'm not sure if you're doing work. Use the floor. Maybe what's going on. It was also that battlefield video. That battlefield 3. Oh, the GC1? Yeah.

It showed off the 64 player multiplayer aspect. Right. So a battlefield 3? Yeah, so I think I can talk about this. So I was invited to like a battlefield alpha. I got an invite for it on a Friday. And then I know. I know.

So I got this battlefield three alpha invite on a Friday. I set up my computer at work to actually have Windows on it, so it was a PC only thing. And I'm like, okay, I'll come back on Monday and set it up and actually play it. The invite expired on Monday. So like, no, after Monday, you couldn't play anymore. Well, that explains why I haven't heard you're talking about

So anyway, I didn't get any Hedges. I know how much did you cry? I'm getting a minute your pillow. Yeah, stupid little thing. Three. Damm it to hell. But I'm playing battlefield three at packs. I've got like a whole thing So that's super super super jazz for that. That's cool. There's also Are they showing Dota 2 at packs? I think so. I know they're having that tournament at Gamescom today. I wouldn't be shocked. You typically the stuff of Gamescom ends up at packs.

Mm-hmm. They're pretty they're always really close to each other, right? Yeah. You're gonna fucking haul ass from Germany to get over here. Get to get to Seattle by next week. Yeah, put all the stuff on the planes. Did you see they they brought in a jet for Battlefield 3 at Gamescom? I did not see that. They, like a real life jet. They towed one into the convention home to show up. Because they have jet gameplay in Battlefield 3 and there. And so that was the show it off. It was a real working jet.

That's awesome. It's pretty proud of that. Oh my god. I'm sure they had to clear that with the Fire Marshall. Like, when you go to an event like that, if they even bring a vehicle in like a car, like the gas tank has to have like 10% or less fuel you know 10% or less capacity What am I trying to say? Was there a game like in the cockpit like did a pilot fly and get out with the game?

I don't think so It was like one of those hair ears and the excuse like very slowly hovered over Everyone's just getting blown out of the way. Yeah, right exactly. Do you remember Ed? It was amazing. It was a blast. It was a blast. I feel like I'm there. Oh. Do you remember, do you remember an engineer with a red truck

on your head? We're pairing it as a flu. If you get it, you get a turbine, goes to your house, and blows you away every time. Do you remember packs like three or four years ago when that truck was, like, we couldn't build our booth because we had to wait for a truck to park behind us. I think it was until like a it may have been someone else.

Yeah, but they they wanted to get like an 18 wheeler like those big trucks into the exhibit hall, but it didn't like our booth was in the way. So we couldn't build because like we were in the path and it take to get to its booth. And it wouldn't fit through the bay door. So there was like it barely didn't clear. So they ended up having to like let air out of all the tires. So that it rode lower and then they got it into the hall like that. So we were just standing there waiting.

We were just trying to get the car to go. Okay. That was like four years ago. That was the first one I went to, so yeah, that must have been four years ago. I saw Robert Koo the other day tweeted that this will be the 10th packs ever. Oh wow and yeah that's right you were one of the few 10 for 10 baby 10 for 10 all 10 years. Well 10 events. Okay. That's what he said. I'm kind of fucking marketer. So yeah so you want to talk about the sunglasses you have on your neck. Oh I think that's good. My amazing $6 P.T. Yes. So, yeah, so you want to talk about the sunglasses you have on your neck, Michael?

Uh-huh, and everything was going good and great until Carousel started fucking around and she lost your t-shirt Focus, please. I'm looking around be careful, but but yet, you know, she did have something on under the t-shirt Yes, yes, she had an extra t-shirt and Yeah, and she's like oh no, I lost my t-shirt so she started swimming backwards $10 yeah, yeah, I found that at the water. Yeah, and she's like, oh no, I lost my t-shirt. So she started swimming backwards. We didn't know that at the time. So I looked my tube with

And there's like a branch and like Jesus because I'm incredibly out of shape. So I grab a branch and like I pull myself on it and then I kind of like wipe the water on my face And I'm like God damn it my sunglasses are not on my head anymore And I'm like mother fuck I'm so like cursing and screaming and some guys like riding by is like I know it's a public face But I'm here with my kid and I'm like you fucking piece of shit dude before we got into the water There was like you rage quit those sunglasses

It was just these guys The cooler like a Bud light oh Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, these guys were hilarious no corona Yeah, you meet all kinds on the river on the river There's always the guys who who sit at the bottom of the rapids and we'll just wait for The rulers to dump over and they just sit there and fish the beers out

I wait for the rulers to dump over and they just sit there and fish the beers out of the way I wait for cotton I wait for cotton to dump over Personally, but I said at the bottom of the rapids. Yeah, I just walked in on a I just walked in on a story that was being told I'm sure enough I walked in on the story of the girl who has an extra shirt Yeah, it's like the lame a story ever Let's shirt. Yeah, so then you can tell the story anywhere you want people listening work actually there So uh, so then she's like, she's like, oh my shirt, I love that shirt. It was $10. I'm like, fucking $10. Are you shitting me? I'm like, what the fuck? The best part of that day was we come up with this, there's

like a pot of people that have kind of stopped right before the rapids. I guess you call them rapids. And so they're, hey, we're going to shot, go on a beer. You guys want to shot down a beer? And so I'm like, I don't shotgun beers anymore and there's Kara she freaking takes her tooth and bites the bottom of the Can you know way yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that story right there I'm like you leave that happy did she have like a special like middle to Like I like I like was a little chomper It was impressive it was impressive, but we we yeah it worked too well though yeah she did twice she got like a

We saw it all day. I think the guy said hey, do you want to shut and then she was already Yeah, she's already biting the candy. There's a kind of beer vampire I feel for the guy on the river though who was subjected to Michael because I went out to dinner with Michael We went to the bar across street to Woodrose and all I have to say is if Jeff and Michael ever go eat somewhere together They will have to like that place will be condemned if he's just like Jeff

And then he talks at the top of the lungs and he swears the entire time barely Barely you barely talk at the top of your lungs But that's where that's Jersey barely versus How many times in Jersey have been corrected for swarming However, you're like one for one in Texas now. Yeah, how you just so far? It's good pretty good so far Well, I fucking lost the sunglasses on Sunday. It's part of my vocabulary Notice so and then Saturday Saturday I go because I was playing some pieces shit And I'm like I'll plug in my pdr and record this and I plugged in the wrong fucking AC and just like boop on off fucking broke it

I'm like god damn it. What you do? You broke your your your your Like a capture card my capture in your computer capture device. It's an external catch device I don't get it. So you plugged it in wrong. We're not like in England during external catch device. I don't get it. So you plugged it in wrong. We're not like in England during the day. I don't even adapt here because I plugged in. I hooked it all up and everything. The last thing I did was plug in the AC adapter and I just grabbed one out of my bag and the end match and I'm like, oh, okay, I was plugged right in. Do-do-do-do. And then I see it turned off and like immediately I could smell it. I'm like, God damn it. It's fucked. And I plugged in one of the AC adapters for one of my external hard drives and they're 12 volts and this ends 5 volts and it was

like no. Right. With the array, you shouldn't be able to do that because the size they're all the same. The size of the barrel determines the voltage. Yeah, that not always though. It popped right in. Well, it also had more amps. I think like the Amperage isn't dictated by the size of the blow. I don't know what the amps on the PR were. The hard drives were 1.5 and 2. Because then I broke that. And then I went to go hook up the fucking hard drives. And I'm looking at them like, well fuck this. Everything's on my hard drive.

And the AC adapters are marked. Fucking hard drives aren't labeled. So now I'm like, well shit, which one's for which? So I had to like Google it for like 20 minutes to find out which one. You can look at the back of your hard drive. And it should say what kind of power it's expecting. No, I'm telling you I'm looking at him like what the fuck? Keep in mind Michael is blind as a fuck. No, I got you're right good. He's got six dollar sunglasses. Yeah, that's true. He's probably going to see me. He puts his nose right on the monitor.

Yeah, I can be super small as you can see far away. I gave him my glasses and I said look, try try these look at the monitor and now put my glasses on and minor for Computer to you know so you can be like two feet away and he's like oh yeah, I can see now I'm like go ahead let's crap you know I'll leave people are new Jersey. I don't fucking need to see clearly Offer the bars though when you meet a girl and you know I get right up next to her face. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah shit Why do you like you that? Yeah? No, she's I have to get my foot removed and then I just leave Oh shit Her foot or your foot oh my forgot I was surgery tomorrow One more thing with Michael joining the site is if I read the goddamn word brony one more time

Chokes Comment or send me an email that was like hey, I hear you're a brony now too, welcome. You should watch this and watch out. I'm like, I'm gonna feel like we're on Fanny Rask. So great. What's, I don't even know what that is. What is a brony? No, no, no, no.

Okay. Are you sure? It's you. We only have 40 minutes. Look out here you go. It's guys who like my little pony. It's everyone. Oh, that's right.

That's right. That aren't in the age group of 8 to 12. Right. That's more like two to three Oh, we talked about this. It was basically pedophiles. No way. Yeah, that's outrageous. That was the griffin furry thing The ponies are like code for something right? Yeah Yes for friendship and magic Gus So friendship Magic secret Magic Gus. So, friendship. Magic. Secret. Secret.

I don't tell your parents. So, is my little pony still in the air? They're like a new suit. Oh my gosh, yeah, cute. No, the old one. It's on the west side. Okay, let's not get this confused. So, you're right.

My little pony best suits. The new one. You're probably gonna make him a little bit of that. You just blew my mind. This is series four. Okay, this is where it's at. And season two starts in October very exciting This is what I'm here and all the guys are more excited than the girls. It's weird

I'm scared My son came up to me and said mom was a little ahead. This is outrageous. It's disapproval Okay, I'm gonna be honest. This isn't a pot chance. It's an intervention intervention. Michael most of us love you. We all care about you. We want you to get help. That's right. I know. I'm waiting for you. Broney's our serious problem of 63 million Americans. Soon you'll be more. Oh my god. We should note that the the comic that Luke draw the other Jew the other day. I have a I have a like a personal picture that somebody drew like a fan just drew like a unique pony and made like their own little Because they all cutie marks and see that determines their jobs Everything So, uh, everything, both, everything. You gotta get excited about it. So anyway, did you like her own unique thing,

which was a 360 controller with a lightning bolt through it, and Luke put that on the t-shirt. So, there you go, that's a fan art put in the comic. That's cool. Luke does good research, he really does. That's, Luke also watches ponies, FYI. He does it a lot. And so does Caleb.

Caleb does too, yeah. Oh my God. He's ready. It is, yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, but that's anyone I care about I don't know if it's the last comment on before that with with Monty he had a little pony on his desktop before I Yeah, I've been using every

Panna well, it's the last fad before this bad before this. This is not bad. This is a lot of bad. You think years from now when you're an old man and you look back on the point you're going to get your stuff the old DVDs. Is nine cat dead yet? Is that fat going in? Yeah, I'm still around. By the time I hear about them, I feel like they're gone already. Like I'm not cool enough to know about it. I learned about nine cat through the Rooster Teith comic. So I was like way behind on that one. What does it take for like a meme to really count in the culture?

Does it have to hit like three sites? Like it has to be on 4chan. It has to be on Reddit. It was basically the same thing but two weeks later. And then, and with less disturbing images. Yeah, far less. Forchan for sure. What's I feel like all memes originated for Chan somehow Most the majority yes

It's like a like the like it's like this giant cesspool where like internet like starts like every now and then something crawls out Have you seen Igor cat yet? Yeah, did you see the other one? There's another one. Yeah, there's another one now I heard them call Frankenstein cat, but Igor cat also seems to make sense. When we did that Kittywood video, I was in this... Oh my gosh, that was funny. Video for a local director. I think we talked about them a Ruchitec recap. It was about... It was a spoof, it was supposed to be this company called Kittywood, and they're the fictional company who makes all the cat videos from the internet. And they ask me at the time, what was my favorite cat videos? Like, show it. And I said,

currently it's Frankenstein cat or Igor cat. That cat's weird. The original one was weirder, I think, than the sample. Because the original one, like, actually takes his front paws off the ground. What is your favorite cat video of all time? Probably pinky the cat. I hate the cat. That's one of my favorite videos, period.

Like not just cat video. Keep word cats pretty good. I like keyboard cat I like the other one that was in that with the surprise cat. Oh The kitten yeah, the kitten that was pretty cute Piggy the cat is so well paced though. It builds so well It's like it's scripted the dudes like very loving cat, you know, tell whatever animal shelter and fucking Buster County come out Buster County

Here, you know what I just I had to look up on with pdf my little pony I just want to say But it says this is the first line says my little pony friendship is magic What's the name of the show, but that's just so what is it? I know, but that doesn't make it better Yeah, you have to watch the first two episodes to understand the title. Yeah, okay. Oh, that makes sense Yes, they're all makes it anyway. That's the weird thing about changing the subject to something way better. The weird thing about P.E.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C.C. and that someone digitized and put on the internet. And I can only think of a very small handful of videos like I can think of Pinky the Cat and I think of the South Park Spirit,

a Christmas thing. Also, another South Park thing, your studio and you, did you ever see that? So try, yeah, yeah. Trey Parker, Matt Stone, made this thing for the Christmas gift for all the universal studio employees. And it's a brilliant, brilliant film. They made it like, that was like before they did South Park.

Do you know what, when I first started, this is like probably made it like, that was like before they did sound park. When I first started, this is like probably 16 years ago, and I was working in a recording studio, and one of the voice actors brought that in, brought the VHS of their stuff. And we watched, they're like, this is brilliant, this is the funniest shit ever, right? So then cut to, they get all famous,

and I wound up going to the 100th episode party. And so I go up to one of the guys, and I'm introduced myself and looking at him and I'm saying, you know what, I got to see your stuff back when VHS, you guys are phenomenal. And he like, look me in the eyes. He's like, I'm so fucking drunk right now. And I was like, oh my gosh, what do you say to that?

Then cut to about five years later, I go to this other event. And now I see them and I'm a little tipsy. And I'm like, tell my friends, I know those guys. I know those guys. And I go walking back other event and now I see them and I'm a little tipsy and I'm like, tell my friends I know those guys, I know those guys and I go walking back up to them and I'm like, hey, you remember me and they're not drunk, they're like totally sober like, can you have this girl remove because she's really bikinist? Oh yeah, yeah.

Really? Did they tell us you out? No, they didn't tell us me out. But my friends were like, I think you better leave them alone and I was just, they were putting up with me but I was like, come on, we go way back. You know, it was, awesome. It was fun.

Did you ever hear about the TV show they worked on called Time Warped? They put a pilot out for it, but they never hit. It was a musical television show where they go around to different periods, like different periods in time. And the first one, the pilot was about Moses and his brother. And if you can find it, it's damn near impossible to find, but it's amazing.

It's a damn near impossible to find on the internet. It's just looking up. Yeah, no good luck Good luck find it on the internet. What's it called time or time warped I think okay There was some big thing on right today about a Nickelodeon movie about a Right, yeah, each other maybe soul what was it? What's going on? Some some Made yeah in 2001 it's supposed to be like one of those like are you afraid of the dark kind of scary movies for teenagers But I guess they made it super scary. They really hit it on the nose like yeah, like what was it was sign these twins

I got separated and one of them died and the parents buried him in the backyard and the other one went and dug him up and It turned out like he was an evil spirit and then you possessed the one that was still alive who then like haunted everyone in this town I think he worse than my description. Yeah, I think that's what it was I think you're right and I guess they only aired it according to red it they only aired it once and then The Guardian disavowed it People able to find it. Yeah, apparently they found it and now other people are like oh I saw this movie And I was kid on TV. What is this like now? They're trying to locate all these loss VHS tapes. All right, Kathleen found time warped. I just do that, Kat.

I just type time warped. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you a magician? Woohoo, a magic, magic right there. So we'll have to watch it. That's the magic of the iPad too.

The Apple TV. But probably five. I'm not another device. Oh, yeah, I think he's a magic. Yeah, and now it's only mine too. Dude, did you see the Apple's new campus? The UFO? Oh, holy crap. That was cool. Hey, Bernie, can we buy a new building? Yeah, yeah. I'm circular one like that.

They're also redesigning one of the Apple stores in Manhattan. I think the queue. Yeah, they're redoing the cube so it has less glass panes. Like they're making the glass panes bigger, so there's less obstructions in it. And I saw this morning that they're going to redo the Apple store in Santa Monica. So that it's like right now it's kind of small. You've ever been there. But they're going to take over an abandoned borders. Oh, and they're going to make the whole roof like this arching glass. Oh my god. That's good. And they're also building an Apple store in a grand sinful station. They're building an Apple store in the back of our studio to They should

Yeah, my did you spend the Apple last month? Yeah, no shit for we've been hiring a lot of people for RVV production And guess has been spending lots and lots of my critics about the bank locked my credit card Because I spent so much money and I called them and And they were they were like oh, yeah, the bounces are your bounce have been paid off like great Why can't I use my card like oh you spent too much?

So have you like they're redoing the cube in Manhattan right you said and that's a big glass cube that sits I don't know somewhere with downtown or midtown. So the big glass cube. One of these you got to be careful of when they when you build stuff like that is you can make it architecture sound but there's this weird thing that can happen when you build especially a clear building like that in a weird geometric shape, in that you don't, architects don't really

compensate for the sun. Oh, right. And did you ever hear about like the playground equipment? You know those, they're like, what are they, geodesic domes? Right, you know, you said the right word? I don't think they're geodesic, but they're domes. But they're like just triangles

and they're like jungle gyms that you climb on. Well, I guess somebody had the bright idea at one point that they would put panels on the mirrored panels. But, because it's- They found the kid. It made like a hot spot, like a magnifying glass in the center of these things in there, We had the bright idea at one point that they would put panels on the mirrored panels, but because it's bullshit. They found the kid. It made up like a hot spot, like a magnifying glass in the center of these things in there, where it would get up to like 180 degrees.

So, kid would come out since. Or they just passed out. Dehydration. There was also something similar in Vegas. I got it right here. I forgot which hotel it was. Yeah. It's the Vodara Hotel.

Oh my gosh. Right? Yeah, that's it. It's the Vodara Hotel and it gosh. Right? Yeah, that's it. It's the Vidara Hotel, and it's these two curved hotel buildings that are mirrored glass. And when the sun gets to a certain point in the sky at a certain time of year, it hits the two buildings, and it makes like a laser beam that comes across the dead. They call it a death ray. Oh my gosh.

They say if you walk through it, that it like sings is all the hair on your body. It's great. And it's down by the pool. Where it wears. Oh my god. I would love to see a guy walking through that. That's the fire. That's the wind right? Like I think the wind of the darra are the two. I think it's out yeah in that

area. Okay. Guess at the new Vodara Hotel in Spongebob Las Vegas have complained that designed the design of the hotel can magnifying reflect the sun's rays at temperatures hot enough to cinjure and melt plastic cups. It just has to do with the way the building is built and the reflective surface.

That's crazy. So the windows, so fronzy. Yeah, and I think they had already thought about it when they were designing it, and they had even used, like the windows they used, stopped like 90% of the sun's rays. Like it only reflected 10% of the light that hit it, and it was still powerful enough. Can't have a sun to be fine, right?

To do that. Sure. I can take 10% of the sun's power. I can take 10%. There's a building in Boston called the provincial center and it had the John Hancock and when they first, it's all glass and when they first put it in, what the pain started, what they do is they darken

and then they were pop out. And so these huge, huge big sheets of glass were just like falling out and, you know, luckily nobody got hurt. That happened there. Just happened here in Austin also. Serious. They built a new W hotel and all the balconies had glass railing or not railing, but again glass to keep people in the balcony. I guess with, they haven't figured out what, but it's particularly that with the intense heat we've had this summer that they just have been

falling off onto the pool. Oh, lovely. Oh, geez. You know, the one thing is the glass falling out. The other thing is if you're in a hotel room and your window is gone all of a sudden. Right? You're all always right. Right, right, right, right. Your nose is up against it. And you're like, what was that?

Ah, you know. You wake up and like go in the bathroom and walk out in the window's gone. What the fuck? Yeah, that would be great. They had to close the streets around the hotel, because it was falling on the pool, and it was also falling in the streets.

Wow. That's what they had to do. I think they took all that glass out and replaced it temporarily with wood until they figure out what they're doing. Geez. Yeah. That's frightening. It's really, really frightening. There's like one guy waiting for the glass to fall out and then like jump through the window and like steal your shit. Like he's like the class window bandit. He's not waiting for the glass. He's like, he's not waiting for the glass. He's like, he's like easy access.

I was one dude climbing the building. We were staying in San Diego for an event or it was actually a paddling thing. And we got back to our room one night and we couldn't, we opened the door but that inside swing thing that you shut when you're on the inside was on our door. And we're like, wow, how did that happen?

Maybe somebody slammed it, we slammed the door and it kind of swung around. So we're kind of jerking around with it. We finally get a guy comes up and he pops it open. We walk in the room and literally I look at the sliding glass door, somebody had robbed us. They had shattered the sliding glass door. It was completely broken and they had come in and they locked it and then ripped us off. It was crazy. That's a delay tactic. It's also a warning. And we were on the second floor. It was, and I guess

that night there was three other, but you know, it was kind of like, Hey, wow, this is really weird. So if you never, if you can't get into your hotel room, that's get it. You've been robbed. Yeah, yeah, worry about it. That or Jack's like doing stuff by himself inside the room. Jack open the door. He's like, just a minute. I'm washing my hands. Well I have to go I have to I jumped into the podcast now I have to jump out because I have to go prepare for our special guests today. Yes we're having a visitor. And but I wanted to say that we're going to be at PAX next week. I'm sure you're going to talk about it. Yes. And we're going to be at Halo Fest. Well we're all supposed to be at FanExpo. FanExpo. And FanExpo as well. But

that's that's somebody else. I'm going Yeah, whatever So if you're in Canada or in Seattle next week come and see us or even Vancouver you can come down from Canada That's a good point. Yeah, not not not not all the Canada's close to Toronto. We can there's some of this close to Seattle That's right. You make an excellent point. All right. I'll see you guys later So we will be at PAX next week like Bernie said we have a panel Friday at 1 p.m. In the main theater, which is I believe if I remember right the main theater at PAX is across the street It's not actually at the event anymore. Is it is it like that again this year? Yes, okay and It's down the street. Yes. Yeah, and then we'll be at Halo Fest as well

Which I believe goes on it pretty much the same time to exhibit halls open So I don't know how we're gonna to swing that. Where is Halo Fest? Is it actually in the Cominj dollar? Do you know where it is physically? Hmm? No, I don't know the answer. Well, yeah, we'll be at Halo Fest. I know Michael and I are going to be there probably helping out with Halo Fest a little bit.

Yes, you'll be helping. I'll just be like hiding. Sure. And then like we said, Kathleen will be at... In just my fan expo. Or booth at Pax is booth 6019 and at fan xboy blue Yeah, I don't remember both. I think it's like 14 something and we're doing a screening as well at fan expo on Monday, it's not actually part of fan expo. It's at a theater. I

Don't remember What are we screening we're screening some season 9 stuff. Oh cool some stuff I believe we're gonna be screen some stuff that hasn't Yes, my little pony She's a nine of rage quit. I mean I'm saying that in an elf Cousin willies got a crack habit Or uncle willy what was the name was it cousin willy or uncle willy? I think it was uncle. I think it was uncle too. I don't know. I'm totally stalling for time watch.

I'm looking up to him with tears. Yeah, so we're also going to be having a panel of packs and that's going to be a lot of fun. I'm sure we'll be showing. I think we'll have a new fails the week for sure. We might, I don't know if we can get a rage quit out in time. You're thinking you can do an-age quit probably next week All right, it's probably not Michael's lazy. Maybe I'm extremely lazy you This sunglasses I gotta get you Toronto underground cinema Why not for final hit pro. Oh, okay The 29 Just a fuck up. I'm trying to promote something. Yeah, so long trying it. It's a time find it faster

Just to fuck up I'm trying to promote something else. So long trying to build time. Find it faster. No, you've been handed. Monday the 29th had Toronto Underground Cinema. I believe it's in the evening. I'm not sure exactly what time. I'll keep looking. I'll see my foot down.

But I'll put it in the link in the link dump. And we'll make a front page poster about it as well. Your microphone's back on now. Slide that button back. Forget it man. I'm sitting at the fucking board. So anyway, you should get to the panel at PAX. I'm sure we're going to show off cool stuff. I don't know what we're showing off or I'm assuming we're showing off cool stuff.

I might be similar stuff to what we're showing. I don't know what the hell is going on with the red versus blue this season. It's kind of cool. It's bad stuff going on. Yeah, it's kind of cool. I have no idea what this company is doing. I don't know. No, because I got on Monday. I get to watch this with everyone else. Except when I come in the room and I say, oh, Jack,'ve no idea what this company is doing. No, no, no, like no, because I got one day He's like I get a watch this episode with everyone else. It's like except when I come in the room I say oh Jack you got to see what they're doing. No, I've seen some animatics and stuff like that But I mean for the most part it's I have no clue where the season is going. I heard like snippets and bits and I've read some stuff

But most of the things that text is back. That's all matters. Oh, yeah I guess it wasn't she was the teaser. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, the only reason I want to check with Bernie I'm sure you go. Yeah, I've already recorded most of my audio for the season So I've already seen I guess most most everything. Yeah, I guess it's weird you don't You're in the show too. You're not in the show. So you don't re-getate I was the first person to die off this season. That was the first character killed. Yeah, I was Murphy very nice. What was your line? I had a few lines, but there is those means got Scott Weinberg was I forget I have a skill-line-burst character. Hey, Murf, what are you doing out there? And then I was dead Why they make you murf because you're Irish? No, you're right here

Because that was the character's name. Are you left-handed? Yes. I was thinking about it left-handed. This totally unrelated. I have no idea. Are you left-handed? No. I was thinking about how many left-handed people we have in the company. Like me, Jeff Joel. I eat left-handed. Does that matter? There's a couple. Yeah. Some of the pit guys are lefties I thought. Yeah. Like Marshall, maybe. I think it's like a small number of second small percentage of people normally are left-hand But we have a high percentage of left-handed employees. Yeah She will have handed people like weird just some shit. Yeah. Yeah, they're not right. We're there Right, it's like a scientific fact if you're left-handed. You're like why is it? Why are some people left-handed?

Is there any reason for that? Do you understand and why are the people who are left left handed like so fewer than the people who are right handed? I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know. It has to do with the brain. Yeah, but why? It doesn't make any sense. It's like a thesis or some nature. Oh, they've done a lot of studies on that. Who is they? They do lots of things. They generally have they tried googling you. Maybe just Google. Oh, there it is. You can't find it. No, it's impossible. It's not. It doesn't exist in the end. You have to have another pattern. I don't find that. And be right handed. What else has been announced that games come? I'm trying to think here. I know the big things I noticed

borderlands to. Got a now. Oh, the PS3 got a price drop. I think that's what I was thinking. Really? Yeah. For a month. The PS3 is $250 or $249 now. Okay. What it was it 300? Yeah, okay? The further 160 gig model and 320 gig model was 350 and is now 300 wasn't supposed to be the year of the PS3 Like they always say that I'll go this is gonna be the year of the PS to just be the year than Nintendo and then Microsoft just stops every Well uncharted three is coming out later this year. I'm pretty excited for that. Yeah, I don't know what else is coming out for the PS3 that I'm really excited about this year. We had Gears 3, Halo CE anniversary.

Those are exclusives. Oh, I finally beat Catherine. Oh, did you? Wow. As long as we talk about video games, yeah, fuck that game, that game is so hard. I got to, I think I got to the fourth night. I played that game one easy.

I was thinking about going back and replaying it on normal. Yeah, just to see if I can do it So so God says I can finally beat that fucking piece of shit so hard. Oh my God so annoying. You should play Catherine Thanks guys And then you can point it off on me. So I'm playing. Yeah, how far are you? I am on the third night now Yeah, that's where things really like the fourth night is where we get to change it to easy when the spike show up We on the puzzle on the spike block show up. That's when I really like the fourth night is where we get to change it to easy when the spike show up We on the puzzle on the spike block show up. That's when I wanted to hear right here How do you how do you play like I know the game tells you to use the D pad?

Do you use the D pad? I don't know I kind of switch back and forth don't use the D pad I discovered especially with the spike blocks. I feel like my movements are better with the stick Like I can get across them trigger them and not get impaled I feel like it's faster at the analog stick. Yeah, the wrong direction looks Trigger them and not get impaled. It's faster at the analog stick. Yeah, the wrong direction looks I did all the time You're gonna do yeah, oh I spam the shit out of that Back into more back. I'm gonna try this stuff out. Nope. Oh, I just fuck myself Have you played any like and then the weird thing about Catherine is everything? Well, what the weirdest thing to me is that they've taken the game and then diluted it down

to an even simpler form. Like in the bar, you can play a game called Rapunzel. Like in our game. Have you played it at all? No. And Rapunzel is essentially the Catherine Puzzle game, but if it were like an old arcade game from the 80s. So it's like you move the blocks around, but you only have a limited number of moves you

can make. And it's, that's even harder. That's you that's fucking hard There's an achievement side to that arcade. Yeah, there's like 64 levels in Rapunzel And I think there's an achievement to be all 64 Fuck wow, and I think I got stuck on level five It's a bad sign like Rapunzel Rapunzel like delutes the game down to its hardest and most frustrating for fuck. And none of the blocks are different. Well, at least not a little fight, but it's just like one standard block, and that's it.

It's like you play and as you go, you know, you hit the sheep and they give you techniques. And it's like, all right, we'll learn a simple technique. It's like staircase, you know, this and that. And then like we're getting in tornado. But tornado, I know. Man, like when you explain the tornado. I seriously, I, he explained it. I read the whole thing and I'm looking at it like 10 times.

I'm like, what the fuck? What the fuck? There's like 10 things already. There's one that they explained. I can predict it. I forget what it was called. It was like the spider climb. I think it comes like level like night 4 or 5.

And it's like some dudes just like on a wall of blocks. And they're like just do this simple technique. And he like climbs the entire thing. Like he doesn't pull a block out. He just shoots up like six blocks Like if I get that's to beat the game Fucking yeah, that game is so fucking annoying when you get like all the way up You're like one block away

It's like one more wait like because like five steps back. I lowered everything by one level now I'm one too short to get to the end. I push it all the time doing the pull it I'm like no, I'm like everything crashes back back back back back back I wish you could I mean maybe minor spoiler here, but I wish you could more drastically affect the outcome of that game Like the whole time I was playing I was trying to get the dude to leave his girlfriend For the blonde Catherine, but he he doesn't do that like no matter how bad I was he still want to get the dude to leave his girlfriend for the blonde Catherine, but he doesn't do that. Like no matter how bad I was, he still wanted to get back together with his girlfriend.

Aww. What a puss. And then they called me a bad lover because of it. Like I got the bad lover of D-Face. Oh my, they don't really have that, do they? Oh my god, so that tweet was like, it was like finally be Catherine. Kim says I'm a bad lover, fuck you.

Like it's great, I guess that all this time he keeps so fucking hard and it says I'm a bad lover. Yeah, so did you enjoy the game? It was it was interesting I'm glad to see a new type of game like something that's just not the same old thing rehash Yeah, there were periods though where I felt the cutscenes went on too long like when you start the game Yeah, I think you sit through 25 years ago fucking long before you start the game. Yeah, I think you sit through 25 years because you fucking long before you start the game. Started the game and like Jack and I watched it and it's just like going on and on on a Catherine's in the, uh, Catherine. Catherine's in the office and she's like, she's like, what is this?

Like this is Catherine. And it's like, right, she's looking at it. It's like some scene where like there's like giant breasts. You know, it's a symphony. And she's like, what the fuck? Yeah. Really? That's the game. Huh? I think swear it's a game. This is our job.

I think on night eight, I thought I was close to the end of the game. I was like, okay, I just have one more level to beat. And then I beat that level. And I shit you not. I think I sat to be like 40 minutes a cut scene. I was like, wow. Oh my god. I guess, right?

You go to the whole intro with a chicken bar for like a fucking TV. It's like, come on. I see your hair. It's fucking wobbly. Start a fucking game. All right, well, we need to cut this short because like Bernie said, we're having a visitor today. Okay, indeed. So we're gonna we're gonna end on that note. So the Consius at packs. There'll be another podcast for packs, right? Yeah, next Wednesday. Yes, Consius at packs at Seattle next week and at FanExpo in Toronto and Halo Fest. Say hi.
