Twisted metal, streaming now, only on Peacock. Oh, no! Ah! Drunk Tank! Rostrateath Productions Podcast! The Rory doesn't red in my podcast! Hey everyone, welcome to the Drunk Tank. Wow. What do you think of the theme song, Jeff?

I don't know if I'd call that a song. It was a theme something. A lot of talent went into that, I could tell. Good job. Who did that? William Cheryl, I don't know what his name is on the website. Lots of people don't include their his name is on the website lots of people don't include their Usually names on the website. Well anyway

It's a drug tank. I'm Gus. I'm Jeff. Yeah, we're doing things a little differently this week Got a ton of crazy stuff going on at the office, and I can't get everyone together. How crazy is it Gus? It's so crazy. It's so crazy. It's so crazy that It's so crazy that we can't get more than two people in the same room at the same time. Oh, you can do the podcast by yourself, Gus. I'm a really boring person. You're interesting, just vamp.

It's like, we're kind of like five videos all at the exact same time right now. It's pretty nuts. Yeah, so as a result, I'm gonna try to pull people away from their work for a few minutes at a time and talk to them They're shooting the shit hang out. We haven't really talked much even so busy. We've both been so busy all day It's true. I feel like I've barely seen you. How are you doing? I'm doing really well. How are you doing good? Good. How are things in the back room? I've been out here all day. Things in the back room are progressing nicely

You know can't really talk about it too much. I know that sucks. Yeah someday we'll talk about it Starting to get excited about packs. Yeah, shit. I can't believe it. It's coming up so soon. Kind of close. I just did our inventory for packs, all the stuff I'm going to take. That's for us to sell.

That's less than a month away, isn't it? Yeah, dude. It's September 4th through the 6th, I believe. I think we're going to have to end up flying out there on the third to set up our booth because if I remember right, I think the exhibit hall opens at 10 a.m. and Friday this year. I think you're correct, yeah. Normally Robert doesn't open it till the afternoon on Fridays. He usually opens at like noon or two, but it's two.

Yeah, thanks for nothing. Thanks a lot Robert. Thanks for letting us sell more stuff. Geez. So anyway, got that to look forward to. Yeah, you know what else I'm looking forward to that happens next month? What's that? Leforded DLC. Leforded DLC, dude, just got announced yesterday. How exciting is that? Can't wait. I really like, it's given me like

real hope for the future of Leforded. I remember when, I don't know if it was Gabe, who exact, whoever, whoever, who actually made the announcement when they said halo or Halo in the brain today when they said leffred dead two was coming out and they said then everybody of course all the whiners Bitched about how leffred dead was only out for a year and then they were selling the same games wise and I'm gonna have so much fun and I'm gonna cry about it But somebody at Valve said we're going to Explain to you why it makes sense down the road and then you'll understand and it totally makes sense. Well I don't know if they really fully explained everything. Well you get the impression that they made it pretty

obvious that the new campaign that's gonna be the new campaign that's gonna be in left for dead DLC. The new DLC. It's a 30 minute campaign and it takes place from when you take off in the helicopter at the end of No Mercy to when you begin death toll. So I never thought of left for dead as one linear story. I thought of it as like four retellings of the same story. Like this is what would happen if these guys were trapped in this situation. Yeah, I always thought of it that way also.

Yeah, and so now it's pretty clear that at least with this one,'re gonna tell this they're gonna bridge the gap between no mercy and death toll We can only assume that there'll be more DLC that'll bridge the gap between the other maps as well And then you think that the final DLC will be like bridging the gap between left for dead one and left for dead two That would be awesome if that's the case. I don't know if I can hope for that much What if it took place on a bridge? What it's burning as well if it took place on a bridge. That's it had Bernie asked what if it took place on a bridge? Very pretty sweet. That'd be pretty cool. Hey, speaking of Lefordet, that reminds me of something that we saw at Comic Con and actually haven't talked about yet that

zombie apocalypse game. Oh yeah, whoo. I believe that was a Konami game? Yeah, I think you're right. It was like a combination of Lefordet and Smash TV. Yeah. It was like overhead view and you move around with the left stick and the right stick shoots in whatever direction you push it in. Yeah, it's like smash TV or like geometry wars,

I guess the same kind of contrast. That's totally smash TV. It definitely felt like smash TV and that was pretty cool. It was awesome. It's gonna be a full glory. Yeah, I think it was for the it was arcade or PSN game. Yeah, it is. And you're right, extremely gratuitously gory. Yeah, one of the levels had like helicopter blade that was hitting the ground, and you could throw a zombie bait over there, and they were all running, and get chopped up. Yeah, and the zombie bait was a little pink stuffed animal, like a little stuffed teddy bear that said,

I don't remember what it said, like, momma. I'm so juicy or stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you can be a bateman to, like there's also like a turbine, you could bateman to as well. The only bateman I normally do is masturbating. So totally different. What a coincidence, I'm actually masturbating right now.

If I see my little distract that it's because I'm multitasking here. Why are you doing that? Youself, we have Gavino here. You should be able to help you out with that. That's true. I should pull Gavino in here after I'm done with talking to you.

To masturbate you? Yeah. Why not, dude? Pull him in here to pull me off It's time. It's time to fillate not full hate right Yeah, it's something like that something like that you've been playing any games lately you're back in Yeah, I started playing while again You know of some friends of mine email while we were at Comic Con some friends are my started up at email thread And they're like hey, we should all you know we all play wow. It's stupid. We don't all play on the same server

Let's you know all make level one characters and we can all play together and I came back from Comic Con I saw the email thread. I was like this is a great idea So I you know I wrote you know, I saw what they were all playing They had a lot of melee DPS and so figured I should play a ranged DPS class and I've done all of them except for Hunter So I decided to play a Hunter How are you liking Hunter so far? It's all right. Okay to that in a second So I rolled up a Hunter and on the server they said I didn't really see anyone like oh they must be playing at other times And really haven't seen anyone and up to level 18 now and haven't really seen anyone

So I sent out an email yesterday like hey is anyone still playing this and they're all like oh yeah yeah I'm level 9 I'm level 10 and I'm like wow so I passed all of them so I have to stop playing again to try to lift them catch up. That's your problem with wow that's like every time you and I played wow together it was always you like you'd have stopped playing for a month to let Griffin and I catch up. Yeah I like when I sent them the email I I was like, yeah, I'm level 16. Then the next day I was playing and one of them logged in, and he was like, holy shit, you're level 18 already? I was like, yeah, yeah.

And I mean, with early on, the levels just go fast. Yeah, you level like every 30 minutes at that. Yeah, so it's their fault for not having to play very much. I think we're going to try to run through Ridge Fire Chasm tomorrow, if I get a tomorrow. You know what's especially lame about that is I know the friends you're talking about and it's not like they have lives or anything outside of wow. They've got nothing but free time to play well. They get nothing going on in their lives personally or professionally. So hopefully

we'll get a chance to play with them on Thursday and we'll run RFC and get them leveled up a bit. Playing 100s is actually really easy. Well everything's easy at level 18. I don't know. You know at those levels you get quest to kill level 20 elites and you're supposed to find a group. Yeah, I don't need a group. Really? I have not needed a group. Yeah, I don't need a group. Really? Yeah. I have not needed to group for anything. I did. When I was level 16, there was a level 22 elite that I couldn't kill, but that's the only

thing that's killed me so far in the game. And it was really close. I hit him down to 200 hit points. Do you think that's because the hunter is an easy class or just because you've played so much while you just know how to play efficiently and effectively? You know, until you said that, I thought it was because the hunter was an easy class? Yeah, yeah that's gotta be it. The no amount of knowledge of the game is gonna let you. I don't know dude I feel like every time you roll a new character we have this a very similar conversation.

We are like wow Druids are great. I can kill anything five levels above me. I can take out elites, no problem. And I never, it's never that case for me. Well, well I don't know maybe that has something to do with it well I don't think so it's it's really I don't even have a tanking pet I have a DPS pet really yeah I need to get I need to pick up a turtle before we go to rfc so I can have my turtle off tank turtle that's awesome right right now I just have a cat I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I started playing Gears of War 2 again. Oh how are you liking it? It's good I'm playing a campaign you know like any game before I played a multiplayer I always try to go to the campaign first. Are you playing it on hardcore? No I'm playing on whatever the normal mode is. Yeah it's interesting that you're playing Gears 2 because you know Gav's staying with me and

so we need games that we can play together. I don't have two copies in most games so Gears has been like our default games since he's been here and I am a fucking addicted at that game, dude. Horde mode is about as much fun as I've ever had playing a video game. I just played over and over and over again every night. And are you always talking about it? I can't wait to finish campaign that way I can play Horde mode. I haven't even finished campaign yet. I'm on Act. I'm on Chapter 6 of Act 4, so I'm like near the end, but that's not how I roll. That's not how you roll. I got to the part last night where Dom finally found Maria. Oh really? Yeah, what's that? For anybody that hasn't played that yet, I don't want to give away any spoilers, but his wife gets kidnapped and she gets starved and tortured and I'll fucked up. And then when he finds her, she doesn doesn't recognize him so he shoots her in the head and kills her. I was hoping you weren't gonna give spoilers because I wanted to give the spoiler. Oh I'm sorry. I don't want to give spoilers. But yeah no no the Horde mode is fantastic. I was actually thinking

about giving Annex and Wingman a try to night take a break from Horde mode and see what the other multiplayer modes are like because I've really never played any of them. Have no idea what any of that means. There's different multiplayer modes. There's like Wingman an x king of the hill Horde mode and I think there's probably a few others Well, I look forward to to playing them all the system done with campaign. Dude that game has a fucked up achievement Well, first off, there's the kill 100,000 kill 100,000 people achievement, right? But there's this achievement to get to level 100 in the ranking system

And so I started looking at what that takes and I think it's like it goes pretty fast early on like I'm level 20 now But it takes me it's gonna take me like 7,000 experience to get to level 21 and on an average game of Horde mode I get like 200 experience a level So so how many games have you figured out how many games you have to play well No, I'm gonna that's what another reason why I'm checking out the other Multiplayer modes because I think I can get more I don't know the hard modes the best way to get experience in that game It might be the worst way for all I know so I'm gonna check some of the others I read good things about annex, but regardless I it takes like I think six and a half million points

To get to level 100 and I have at level 20 I have like I don't she's I don't want to say the one I think of like 30,000 points or something You're almost there. Yeah, so it's gonna take like the rest of my life to do it But I'm gonna do it Well, that's admirable. You should probably like you said look for like a walk through her guide online I'm sure it's gotta be like a way to boost that well, you know, I don't know. I don't know about that I've looked a little bit already and it doesn't seem as that promising All right, well, I don't want to keep you too long

I know you had a lot of work going on in the back room. I'm gonna give back to work And I'll send somebody else out. Thanks for stopping by. It was great to see you, dude It was great to have you. I missed you terribly. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jeff Ramsey. We'll drive back. All right All right now that we got rid of Jeff when I head and grab Gavino and brought him in here how's it going Gavino pretty good how's it going how is Jeff's one Jeff's was great you have a lot to live up yeah yeah I like the flashing light on your headphones see immediately I start talking about something that the people can't see the the coolest thing about these headphones is how they're gold plated.

With platinum accents. I'm not seeing any gold or platinum. Play along, dude. They can't see. I can see sort of green sludge. That's way more like it. See, the blinking light means I'm in charge. Yeah, I'm running the show here.

Do I have a blinking light? No, you do not have a blinking light. Hey, let's talk about some important stuff. So you've been to the how many trips If you made to the US now how many times have you come over here and hung out with us like four? Mr. Fourth one fourth fourth Okay, fourth wow. That's a that's crazy man and how long are you here till when do you take off?

I leave on the 30th of September. Oh, it's crazy Some hit for like two and a half months. You're way too long. I know So what are you doing? Like what's a, I know we're all real busy and doing a bunch of unusual stuff today, but I guess for people listening who might not know what you do day to day, what kind of things do you do around the hour?

Well, the first time I came here, I was intern, right? I just got stuff helped out when people needed it. And now I'm director of Red versus Blue. That's like the biggest jump I've ever played. I think it is. I've played forever. That's like when biggest jump ever. I think it is. A latter ever. That's like when you take like four steps at a time. You went from getting me coffee to getting everyone

in the office coffee. Right. A lot of responsibility. It's fun though. So directing. So like, what do you do? Do you have to, I guess, basically, I receive the script from Bernie.

I get everyone's lines recorded. And then I select the audio and bob the heads, cut it together, it's pretty much it. Nice. It's a lot of work. Add some sound. It is a lot of work actually. Bernie and Jeff always boast that they can shoot an episode

in a day, it takes me a bit longer, it takes me like two or three maybe. Well, they're old and we've had a few years of practice at this. Yeah, it's true. So do you feel like you ever feel like a time crunch? Because normally we put out the episodes at 9 p.m. Central time now Is there ever like are you ever like scrambling at the last minute?

No, yeah, but there is still plenty of weeks to come. It's true. I'm sure that'll be one where I'm Craping myself to the end How's house production on next week's episode going? Have you ever started that? I haven't even seen a script yet. I know where to start. Well, I mentioned this with Jeff, but we have so many things going on in the office right now. It's like everyone's workflows a little thrown off at the moment. So you're not nervous now, so you haven't seen a script yet? I'll probably be working the weekend.

Yeah, so nothing to worry about. Have you had to sleep at the office yet? No. It's horny, I'm not doing that. Yeah. Have you ever seen the ghost? No, Bunny was telling me all about when you're in the back room and you can hear the footsteps in the front room. But you haven't experienced it yourself yet. No, I'm not doing that. Did you tell you that before or after you've had to come to the office by yourself? He told me after. Ben slept here once though.

Did he? Apparently you slept in that window still. Really? Yeah. The window still's tiny. I know. He was like, we're looking out the window waiting for Jeff, but we fell asleep.

The cat's on the window sill, and it looks like the cat doesn't have enough room. I would not sleep here. Have you ever? No, no. I think I might have slept once at the old office in Buda, but I don't think I've ever slept at this office here. And I know before we had the office in Buda,

I definitely slept at Bernie's house when we were doing Red versus Blue out of his spare bedroom. On your Thursday nights. Yeah. You guys may have night or during your office hours. Matt's asking if we meet at night or office hours. Actually, now that you say that, I have slept at all of our offices.

For a while, when we were in Buda, I would take a daily nap. I fell asleep in the sound booth in Buda when you were making episode 100. Oh, that's right. I was standing up. I forgot about that. I lent it against the soft wall. I used to, when you came and visited us in Buda, did we still have that big leather couch? Yeah.

I used to sleep on that thing every day. I would have nap time. I think Joel was living on that couch when I was there. Yeah, I think he did for a little while. It's right before you moved. Yeah, I think one night he was staying there and all the UPS is in the office. I guess it was a power out. It's in all the UPS is in the office. The alarm started going off at the same time. He said he didn't get much sleep that night. I don't think he knew how to turn him off. Also, I was in my first Rucythe short last week. That's not true.

You were in Captain Dynamic. Yeah, but that's not really a short though. It was a serious thing. It was short though, wasn't it? It was pretty short. There you go. But, I'm glad that one. The mic's messages. Yeah, skit with Jeff. It's good fun.

I thought it was, I was pretty nervous, actually. I was struggling to remember the lines. Well, you look like a professional. Well, thank you very much. It seems like you've been living your whole life. I think Matt's edit made me look better than I was, to be honest. It did. He agrees.

I guess I didn't mention this one when we were recording with Jeff earlier, but well, I did mention that we're not recording in our normal area. We're recording out in the conference room instead of the back room, and Matt's in here today, trying to work and write, so he's acting as the peanut gallery right now. He doesn't have a microphone, but he can yell at us.

Hey, guys! So Matt came over here to try to find a secluded area to work in, and I promptly brought microphones and an amp and my laptop and started- Just general loud stuff. Yeah, loud stuff. Started talking to everyone over here. Because really, there's no world in the office for me to do this.

Every other desk is like filled with bathroom. Deeds. I guess I could. The bathroom smells like shit though. And it's not anyone's fault. It's the cat's fault. The bathroom smells terrible right now. Did the people know about the new office cat?

I guess we haven't talked about the office cat yet. No. Bernie brought in, like he always does. Bernie brought a pet. He doesn't want in this house to the office yet again. That's how we had Finch at the beauty office. And now we have Joe, who's like an orange tabby cat, and he was sending himself.

You call the orange. I call it a ginger cat. Uh oh, here comes Matt. Yeah, hold on. I'm turning the mic around. Bernie is always giving me unmitigated grief for bringing stuff from my house to the office like what he just doesn't like anything I bring like the thing I he complains most about is the coffee maker and what is the coffee maker produce coffee coffee That we drink Bernie brings cats. What are the cats produce smelly poop? Yeah, no one's no one's doing that

the coffee a plus caffeine workday poop not so much he went in here the other day right the cat did he did he went in the in the conference room I think right below where you guys are sitting right now oh man maybe that was at you maybe I didn't know he had he went in here I know we the other day when we were shooting the mixed messages short We had one of the lighting bags open and I know he pissed all in that bag Now he took a big dump right behind that TV. Oh my god. The cat has a problem. It's an awesome cat I love that thing. I want to take it back to England and make it British. Oh, we I guess we should say the cat's name is Joe

I think I think the cat's name is Joey But everyone calls it Joe all the other way around His tag set, whatever. Tags says Joe. Lens to read. Joe. I had to, you know, we have that closet in the middle of the office like where our raid is

and like all of our centralized storage and I had to make a sign and put it on the door asking people to keep the door closed. Don't worry, I guess I'm gonna open these quietly. What the fuck are you doing? Those are my chips. Goddamnit. Thank you so much.

We ordered hot dogs in today for lunch, from a street vendor, and got a bunch of bags of chips as well. How was your hot dog? It was all right. The last time we went, we got those jalapeno cheddar dogs. I liked that a lot more. This one was a Chicago style dog.

Yeah, I got two Chicago's. I want to get the classic again. Yeah, I'm going to go back to the classic. It was a little too busy for me. Would you like someone who mountain dew as well? I have mountain dew code red. Oh, no way, it's empty. Sorry.

I want big red. You want big red? What is that? It's good to get some big red. There's some at the, you introduced me to big red. I would give three years ago. It's great, isn't it? It's the best. People outside of Texas. Lots of introduced me to big red like three years ago. It's great isn't it? It's the best people outside of Texas. I mean lots of people here hate big red my wife hates big red

But what is your wife like? That's a good point. She doesn't like very much. I'm just kidding. That was a straight comment But big red's awesome There's no way this people always ask like what does it taste like and I say you can't describe the taste It's like red. Well if you drink a coke what is a coke taste like it? I've never drunk coke The only time I've had coke is with whiskey I'm not a kidding

Aren't you too young to be drinking? No, no, no 21 now God This fucking mind blowing to me. How old were you the first time you came over? Oh no, God. This fucking mind blowing to me. How old were you the first time you came over? Were you nine? Well, I went to New York in 2005, so I have a long get. That was. So 17?

But how old were you the first time you came to Austin? 17. Really? Yeah. Wow. We have a problem with importing teenage kids from Europe. I think one of these times we're going to be flying you guys over and Chris Hansen is going to show up with you. What kind of teenage girl's major?

We're doing this totally wrong. We need imports from Ukrainian help. I wonder if the hot for awards check has any younger sisters. Man. Do you know who Chris Hansen is? No. OK. He does, like, all these to catch a predator specials on TV, where they set up. They set people. They set pedophiles up.

They make pedophiles, I think they're talking with children on the internet. And then they're going to go have sex with them. And then they ambush them with the count. Oh, that's on TV. Yeah. That sounds great. It's awesome.

Pedophile. Pedophile. Pedophile, I say it over there. There's an extra A in there or something. All right, well, I know you got a bunch of work to do, so I'm not going to keep you too long, Gavino. All right, but thanks for coming over. How was your first podcast experience? Amazing.

Amazing. I get to look into your eyes. I never get to do that usually. Mm. Yeah. All right, well, I'm probably going to cut most of this out anyway. All right, well, thanks, Gavino. See you later.

And now our third and final guest is Mr. Matt Holum. Hey, what's up? Save the best for last, as usual. Are infrequent guest stars of the podcast? I like the guest star title. I think I said before that I'm not going to be on every podcast, but I will be on the best ones. And why are they the best? This guy. Well, you know, guest does rhyme said before that I'm not gonna be on every podcast, but I will be on the best ones Why are they the best?

This guy, well, you know, guess does rhyme with best there you go I decided to let Matt be on here last because he's been sitting in the same room. We've been recording all the podcasts I like I like that you said you decided to let me be on here like you were begging me the entire day I just need a concert content everyone's so busy Finally everyone's kind of busy. It was either you or Joe the cat. And I do want to thank you as well, since I'm as busy. Is everyone else for coming in and ruining my workspace?

You don't complain about it as much as Bernie does. No. I guess that's a good thing in my favor. I'm not sure. Yeah, probably. Or else it's I'm just stupid for not piping up what I need to. So, so I don't know what you've been doing today, but I assume you're working on a script for live action project, live action shorts?

I, yeah, I've been working on a lot of scripts because we have a whole lot of travel coming up in the next few weeks. And it's, we're going to be in a situation where we're here for one day of the week a lot. So we've gotta get some scripts nailed down and be able to come home that one day, shoot, and then leave, and then hopefully Nathan Brandon and the rest of the guys can take care of, whoever else is here can take care of,

getting the shorts put together while we're gone. I don't think they can. I don't think they can. I don't know how much they've done that crew. That's why they've never been on the podcast. Yeah. Unreliable. And they probably are not listening to the podcast so we can probably insult them as much as we want to. That's another reason they're not in the podcast. There you go. They don't have witty comments the day after it gets posted about what we talked about. Assholes. Assholes. what are you going to do? But yeah, we've got a lot of really great stuff coming up

on the shorts. And some of it is going to require quite a bit more production. Well, that's great, because we're not going to be here. I know. I know. Well, it's going to be weird, because some of this stuff is going to be really hard to pull off. And we've been lucky that a lot of our shorts we've been able to shoot in one very long day,

you know, just do like one, like, like 16 hour day. And get it done. But I think some of the stuff we've got coming up, I'm really not sure how we're gonna do it. So it's gonna be, it's gonna be a challenge. Have we really had any, you sound like Brie now talking about challenges? I'm not sure. So this DVD commentary also, have you, have we had any live action shoots that go beyond one day other than catch and

captain dynamic? That's a good question. Um, we've had a few that I think we just did pickups for. What you know, spoiler alert was the longest shoot, I think, I think that took three days to shoot because we had so many different settings in that one short, even though it seemed like it was mostly all closer together, there was this montage in the middle where we went to the coffee shop

and we went to the little card shop down the street and we did march to the bar raid. There was lucky there was a parade going on and we hopped into that parade. Was that the tea party? Yeah, the tea, depending on what your political affiliation is, it was either the tea party parade or the tea baggers parade. I won't, I won't say which one I call it, but yeah, it was great. I mean, I think it's going right on the street and we jumped in there and it was a lot of fun. great. I mean, I think it's going right on the street and we jumped in there and it was a lot of fun. And it was really nice to us. And then we did the the coffee shop and those other scenes and we there were several different weird setups in this office. So that one took quite a long time.

And then catch as you mentioned, took two days because I got exhausted from being hit in the face of baseballs. Out of the first day, I had to lie down. I think I had a concussion. Those things weren't that hard. They were real soft. You still, I mean, I'm looking at you with them. I was still going to explain that. Getting hit in the face still looked like it hurt.

It hurt. You know, the first, there's some great outtakes that I hope we can put out at some point for people on those because when the first time, it was Bernie throwing them, and Bernie is a master prop thrower. I don't know people know this but he's he's done prop throwing in other movies Nathan Zelner and his brother David Zelner made this movie one time that I shot a lot of it for him and Bernie was brought in to throw eggs at an actress. Well you know Bernie Miner didn't

prop throwing. He did. He did And he got a C, I think, which was the highest grade of any course. But he was the one throwing the baseballs and the ones that the baseballs had actually hit me in the chest. Those were real and that hurt like a son of a bitch and I had some big bruises from that. But the ones that hit me in the face were little squishy soft baseballs, as Gus was saying, that my wife had painted, not only did she paint them white, but she actually painted the little red stitching.

And I think Rawlings are something on there. So they looked really, really real. And when they're being zinged at you, you know, from about five feet away, they hurt pretty good, too though like but a couple of them the paint hadn't completely settled or like it didn't It didn't you know like bake on right and something and when Bernie hit me like the first couple times He missed my face and hit me in the neck and if you watch very closely in the video

You can see later in the video. I've got white paint on my neck from where the ball hit my neck and skipped off. That's going to be in the goof section of IMDB for that short. There you go. Was it there also an outtake where there was a near miss where they almost hit your neck? It was my nose. It was your nose. I don't know if that was a real baseball at that time.

That was a chest one that went really off course. But I remember that was scary. That was a scariest part of making. That was more scary than getting run over by the car. Yeah, look at the knife. It barely, barely grazed. It grazed. Like, I just felt it like the wind go by on the hairs on my nose

and it was not pleasant. Well, at least you didn't have it as bad as Jack Lee did who got hit in the ear on every day. They did, and he was a trooper. And Jack, we think we've discussed him before in the program, but he played the chairman in RVBB construction. He's a great actor. And I was so happy when he decided he's going come out and do this. And I kind of told him that he's gonna get hit in the face with something, but didn't really explain it fully that he was out there.

And he was like, he was far away from his car and couldn't run away easily. But he, man, he was just, he was really tough about it. And like, he kept getting hit in the ear by Bernie and didn't break character one time. He was perfect the whole way through. I think after the second or third take, he did ask if he could get hit anywhere else besides the year, but Bernie like Bernie was trying to hit him anywhere else, but like the baseball just kept getting drawn to his ear for some reason. His ear was a magnet for Bernie's, you know, directional forces for some reason.

Who knows why? Felt terrible for him. But it was funny. It was funny. And that's all that matters in the end, right? Yeah comedy. You got to do what he would it takes He's partially deaf now, but I think he'll agree that it was for art once he gets the paint thinner in his ear You move the white paint maybe there you go and go come back exactly in his left ear So Gus what's been what's been up with you in the last couple days? I imagine you're talking to everybody about how busy they are,

but I think you got a lot going on yourself. Yeah, you know, it's, and I know you're in the same, like, conundrum. We all have the same problem where we have a ton of things going on, and unfortunately, we can't talk about 90% of them. We can't, and that's really unfortunate, because damn, we're doing some cool stuff right now. Yeah, but, you know, eventually we'll get to, we'll look, we'll look back and talk about

it. Yeah. But, um, when I guess one of the things I can't talk, one of the unusual things I'm looking into this week is, you know, we back up our website, you know, the database and the site code to the, you know, we back them up every night and then we back, copy those backups to external hard drives. That way, if the building burns down, we can building burns down, we have the hard drive here. Well one of those hard drives went bad and having to replace it.

And so I was stuck with this bad hard drive that has weeks of SQL database backups and site code backups that I can't get on there any race. So I hired a service to bring a giant hard drive shredder down to the office on Friday. And we're going to I can't wait for this. We're going to throw hard drives into a giant shredder. It only costs 15 bucks of hard drive. So I'm finding all the hard drives I can around the office. Is that this Friday? Yeah, it's Friday.

Wow. Okay, so that's being written into the short. As I speak, that sounds great. Yeah, hopefully they'll let us do it. Like I want I want to be able to throw a hard drive into it. Okay, awesome destruction is You know the cornerstone of good filmmaking Just ask Michael Bay. Yeah, awesome. Awesome. I think we've talked about that before too What else and then beyond that? I guess you're trying to get the podcast today

It seems like I've been trying to get you trying to talk to people all day long for just a few minutes and it's been interesting. It's been a long day. It's hard for everybody to talk while they're all scuffing down the Chicago dogs. We had earlier too. Yeah, those were good. Those were good. We have a guy that sells Chicago style hot dogs. Like on one of those rolling carts down the street, which I always find funny whenever you buy food in another city

that's like, you know, the city's food. For some reason, like, seems like if it leaves the city, it becomes something else somehow. Like, we don't sell like Austin in Chaladas in Chicago. But he's done the Chicago style dogs, and he's just by himself at this cart, and he tells you he delivers, which I thought was weird.

Did he roll the cart down here? No, no, no, he delivered. He left the cart there, I guess. I don't know if he put up like a beer right back sign or something, but he came down here with all of our food. He's also got like this little mobile credit card scanner and he's like a one man.

He's like a one man shop. I bet it's his cell phone that you call. This is like just a perfect scam opportunity to steal a hot dog card. Is it locked down or anything? I don't know. We asked him about it. When we went out there the first time, how would you get away with a hot dog card?

Very slowly. I want to see if you're the worst criminal in the world and could you get on a bus and put it on that front rack that they reserved for bicycles. I bet that thing's there. I bet you have to have knowledge of a hot dog cart before you can start wheeling it around. I bet there's like, you have to drain the water. You should always read the manual, Gus.

We know that. But I was like, what's he gonna say about that guy? Oh, he's got a website. I guess we'll link it in the link dump. But we were talking to him, I remember now. We were talking to him with the first time we went out there and he said his original plan was he wanted to, just be able to wheel the cart up and down Congress

and go wherever he wanted and just sell hot dogs like that, but that the city doesn't give permits for that. But he had to, he had to apply for like a permit to sell food, then to apply for a second permit to like secure his location on the sidewalk. So that's his spot.

The city has deemed it, no one else can sell food there except for him. Wow, he's got his territory, huh? Yep. He's anything Congress. And there's a lot of weird rules in the city that I've discovered with food. Like our, the coffee shop next door sells sandwiches with meat. Mm-hmm. You know, they also sell breakfast tacos. However, they are not allowed to sell breakfast tacos with meat. Of course not. It's like, it's either a city or a state ordinance, a camera in which one?

I think it's a city. Because there was some weird law that was made like if the food product is made off site, which they are in this case, and delivered to the restaurant, it can't have meat in it unless the meat is between two slices of bread. It's obvious sandwich. That's, that's, that's culturalist. That's the powerful bread lobby at war. I know, right?

It's like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what The Mustang at the tortilla and the pita. I can't believe it. The Mustang at the ethnic foods. Man, which is too bad because those

the tacos they had were really good, but they can't sell them anymore. No, no, it's like they're the teamsters of the bread industry have gotten in the work and messed everything up. All right, anything else you want to talk about, Matt? Before we wrap this up, well, we've talked about food. Talked about food.

That's the most important thing. That's my most important thing. No one else covered that. I'm glad you brought it up. I'm really excited about this hard drive shredder now. I think we're going to have to post a video of that's most important. No one else covered that. I'm glad you brought it up. I'm really excited about this hard drive shredder now. I think we're going to have to post a video of that no matter what. Oh yeah, for sure. There's some videos on YouTube, which I've been showing around the office.

And I was talking about it to, when we went to the coffee shop earlier, I was talking about the video of the shredding hard drives to Ben. And the barista looked at me and she said, is that like computer porn or something? Like, what did some kind of weird fetish? Would it be wrong to put the cat in a hard drive costume? And see, that'd probably be wrong, right? Someone might be confused,

there might be like someone's first day on the job, shedding hard drives, puts that in there. Why is this hard drive, I have a tail, oh no. Why is this hard drive pooping in our throat? We would never do that to cat, that's a horrible thing to say. We would do that to our interns, but not the Kat. We'll have Ben Tester for safety first.

There you go. All right. Thank you, America. Thanks for listening, everyone. And everywhere else. Sorry, we'll have a regular podcast next week. Sorry that Matt was here today. Hey!
