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.

Yeah, we've already done one this week Oh, I see so you're counting the time you spent last week. Okay, I understand You released one this week. I don't know that you actually did one this week. It's a metric week. This is probably fascinating

I'm enthralled. I'm totally fixated. A metric week is 10 days to sell. That just makes sense, you know, there's 6.5 metric weeks a year. So you guys can I miss me when I'm done? No, not really. I will miss you a lot. I got a lot of stuff done this summer because you were here to help.

Oh, I did. I will miss Gavin. We're holding hands. When are you coming back, Abino? I don't know. And I also know that when Gavin leaves, I mean When you're coming back, Gavino. I don't know. And I also know that when Gavin leaves, I mean Joel is coming back. The boss gap. We'll see.

Everyone loves Jack's voice. I'm a little jealous now. He's sexy. He's got a good voice Jack podcast. Everyone loves Jack's voice. I'm a little jealous now. He's sexy. He's got a good voice. He thinks he has a good voice. Not a lot of stories. Not a lot of talent to back it up, but the voice itself is alright.

Yeah. He's got half of the equation. I'm a little disappointed. I was looking at the upcoming release schedule for games, and I know it's going to be a big fall. But I'm a little disappointed in like the past couple of weeks releases. And this week, particular. weeks releases and this week particular you're disappointed this week yeah this is the last week Essentially the last week between now and Christmas that doesn't have a major title releases

Okay, this is that might be why and the big game to look forward to this week is saw Well, yes and no so I was actually a pretty good game you and I played it at Comic Con. Yeah, and we enjoyed it It was fun. It was kind of like come on condemned Right no, it was it was it was all right. I was gonna play like the first level. Yeah, it's not gonna I'm sure it's not gonna be the best game in the world But we thoroughly enjoyed the level we played yeah, right? You know, there is a new FTC regulation that says the bloggers have to disclose whether to be paid We are I wish we would get paid for Dear makers of saw, please pay us.

So please, so this close that we're definitely not being paid. Yeah, we're definitely not. I don't think you have to disclose you're not being paid. It's not disclosed if you're being paid. That's it. Your emission of disclosure is a and the FTC says that they can't they can't enforce it either. There are there are two other games coming out this week

that you may have overlooked. And that is the South Park Xbox. Pretty good game, Tower Defense, and then Lucidity, which is the new, I believe it's a LucasArts game. What is it? Bernie doesn't like it. It's like a platformer. I don't like the name. I don't like it. You move the environment. It's like a girl's constantly walking and then you're like moving blocks and stuff so that she can get where she needs to go to your bedroom. Yeah, what do you get her to the bedroom? And then you have to like, you have to move the rope hip-knot and just go ahead.

She's lowered. So this South Park game, does it look like the show or is it 3D and stuff? No, it doesn't even have the South Park guys in it. It doesn't want anything to like to show. It's got the Simpsons characters actually. It's fucking idiot. Of course it looks like a show. God damn dude, are you gonna... We're two minutes into the podcast and you're already... No, because I remember I played South Park on the N64 and it was a 3D.

Yeah well this isn't 1992. Okay. He's got graphics now. They're going away subversive. It's gonna be branded South Park. I'm just so that it doesn't have to do with what it's done. No, I just like... If you like Family Guy, you it's branded South Park. I'm so that it nothing to do it No, I just I hope you like family if you like family guy you'll love the South Park game because it's not a game I thought it might be like you know 2d inside scroll the inside I'm wondering sorry for asking a question about fucking game Jeff

It's a tower defense game. You know, they're actually playing a doing episode of South Park where the kids play the game and hate it And encourage people not to buy it. That's how subversive they're gonna go the kids play the game and hate it. And encourage people not to buy it. That's how subversive they're going to go. You're always insightful and you're going to miss this aren't you, Gavino? Who's going to yell at you when you go back home? My cat. Gus and I can pre-record some stuff and then whenever you get lonely you can just open up iTunes and hit insult number 37.

Okay. Somebody just ruined a red versus blue Joe. That's a joke. Is it? You just ruined red versus blue Joe. That's a joke. Is it? You just read the red versus blue joke coming up in an upcoming episode. Oh, I am a red the rest of the season I didn't know it. It's in a script with you. Oh, really? It starts as that to Griff. So did he say number 37? No So tower defense tower defense is a is a genre. I guess so it seems like a really popular Yeah, when you said tower defense of that tower defense was a title of like some flash game and that they had Purchased it rebranded into the South Park, but I looked up tower defense on Wikipedia and it's a

Subgenre of real-time strategy. I don't know what tower defense means. Yeah, what you said it. What does it mean? It's tower defense. It's like it's like that. I'm gonna hit you Well, cuz I know what tower defense means. I said I didn't know either you hit me to yeah You're gonna take on the whole room guys. You're my we're ready. You sign my paycheck couch versus chairs So what is tower defense is it's like those flash games that we're really popular for a while where you set up like a Series of turrets and defenses to defend like an area while looking on slot of enemies comes and you just have automated turrets and defenses to defend like an area while look at onslaught of enemies comes and you just have automated turrets that are always And then you can update your turrets and stuff and I'm gonna let you know I don't play flash games. I think I played the Yeti sports game. That's it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you played tower defense

Everybody's right out of fence every every close just thinking you're talking about to what I've ever played It's a game called field runners, which is on the iPhone. I don't know dude We played that game heavily in the office, back in the old office. There was a flash in there that we'll know if you called a game because you didn't do anything in it, but do you remember the zombie apocalypse simulator? Yes, I do remember that.

Where you had a city and everybody was purple dots and there would be one green dot and they had like behavior for the, I guess the flock for lack of a better term and you could watch this the infection spread throughout the entire city That's cool or it was possible they could stop it and kill all the zombies. Hmm. It was awesome You also play a little bit of left 4k dead What?

Left 4k dead? Well, I'm a little bit of a dead 4k. Yeah, you should that's a little bit of a dead 4k. Yeah, I thought those cool because it was game made in 4k You know we're talking about gav. No, it's a flash game Someone made and they like tried to recreate left for dead, but in only four kilobytes using only four kilobytes of data How did that? Surprise it's surprisingly fun. Yes, it's surprisingly good. Yeah, it's like a it's like a top down It's like a bunch of pixels and lines running around and shooting, but it's okay You'll play it for a bit before you get tired of it. Hey, speaking of games, what is the iPhone game that you guys are fucking obsessed with? The game has taken the world by storm.

Jodie jump! I went to lunch with you guys with you three yesterday and the entire lunch, all three of you sat in front of your eye. I know, it's so weird that you're playing that game. There's nothing worse than someone who can't sit still for like 10 seconds without whipping out their iPhone and playing some game. It's the most annoying thing because everyone I know has an iPhone. You never see anyone just sitting still doing nothing anymore. But I have totally become one of those assholes who whips out Doodle Jump on my iPod Touch every time I've got a spare moment.

Doodle Jump's awesome. It's a good game. We like a little octopus and you like jump on platforms. Yeah, I said octopus. I'm explaining to people who are listening. Okay, it's making up you have like Yeah, they were explaining it to me Anyway, you jump up platforms to try to go as high as you can you can shoot Jumping and stuff and stuff's moving. It's awesome. And it is also is the best game And it's also fucking bullshit game and it's stupid. Okay good awesome. And it is also, it's the best game, and it's also fucking bullshit game.

And it's stupid. Okay, good. What's your high score, guys? My high score is only like 27,000. What's your high score, Gavin? My high score is 56,096. What's your high score, Bernie? 56,270. The thing is, when we went to Seattle, me and Bernie were passing back the iPhone, trying to outdo each other.

And then Bernie eventually topped out at 56,200 and whatever and I was like fuck I'm never gonna beat that the other day while I was doing a poo. I was playing do to jump and I was Look at Gus's face. I'm gonna go ahead. You're playing Do-Do jump. I was playing Do-Do jump. And I was playing away. I was getting really high. I was like, oh shit, it's awesome. I took one little glance at the score and I saw that I was on 52,000.

And I was like, Jesus, I could overtake burning. And as soon as I looked at the score, my hands started shaking like crazy. Because I was like, oh no. And because it's all based on the tilt of the iPod or iPhone I just it just went to hell So I just complain about shaking so much. I was like oh, oh and I guess the point where every single platform is moving as well And I lost it from that and I died

200 points below Bernie's score. So you literally had had you made one more platform. Yeah top to score exactly and you fucking blew it I blew it you grace under pressure I just want to say in defense of my low Doodle jump score. I just started playing at lunch yesterday. Yeah, that's right. So I'm I got the learning curve going I'm gonna overtake them. Are you addicted to it? That's fun. Is it replaced flight control for you? I haven't played flight control in a while You even yeah, even when that new map came out. I didn't play that very much I know that was a new map.

Yeah, and then new map introduced something interesting. They changed the gameplay a little bit. In that new map, sometimes planes appear that you have no control over their flight path. They come in and they have their own flight path to land. You cannot change that flight path and you have to alter all of your flight paths around it. That sounds kind of awesome. Terrace. Have they retrofitted that to the other map? So where is it only on that one map?

It's a bore. It's adorable. That game is terrible. The complaint you had about that game? Is that bad? It suffers from the exact same thing. No, it's all the iPhone games suffer from what you're talking about. Which is that goes back to the old school games like Pac-Man and Galaga, where you can kind of use to nowadays where you have checkpoints and you can save, you know, or you unlock levels and you can play the harder levels, whereas games that used to be in the past that you just started at level one and you went as far as you could. And the next time you play you just started at level one and you went as far as you could. And it's kind of rough to go back to that with Udljum because the first five to ten minutes of every game you're getting past levels you know you can get that's what it's all about is insurance I know but is there is an endurance you know portion to the event dude endurance is a waste of time yeah but they should start you at 50

thousand points in doodle jump every time you got to you had to build up to that I don't know I don't know yeah I get out of just because you guys suck at it doesn't mean it's bad but yeah but if you get to like sick it like say your high score is a hundred and eighty thousand doesn't mean it's bad. But if you get to like say your high score is 180,000. You know, it's, do you want to go through the first 50,000? I mean, is that relevant at that point? Have you looked at the leaderboards for that game? Yes, I think the highest like 1.3 million.

Yeah, that's it. Bullshit. Our buddy John or JB, he estimated that that person played that game of Doodle Jump for 90 minutes to get that. Oh shit. Because his high score is in the 90,000, like he has 95,000 or something like that. And he said that took him about 10 to 15 minutes.

That is, but I bet that guy put his iPhone into like a robotic arm and had some weird computer to in the iPhone. There's no way you're right. He probably did. That's, that did. That's probably exactly what happened. No, I bet he invented a robotic doodle jump playing arm specifically to get the highest score in the world. You know what Gavin? I'm gonna go with you on this because they say the simplest solution

is always the right answer, right? It's right. And that makes total sense. Why would they would do? Why wouldn't it be a robotic video game playing arm? Man. You're gonna be embarrassed when Gavin turns up to be right. You're gonna be very embarrassed It's a terminator. They're gonna fucking attack us with doodle jump iPhones

I mean you saw the video that robot flicking those balls around You're doing that exciting you yeah, yeah, speaking of one robot two balls speaking Speaking of high scores Finch Lynch just this morning was telling me he saw some guy in ODST in firefight on the big map that has the rates and the Warthog and the choppers. Yes. Some guy single-handedly by himself played a single, like a one person game of Firefight on Legendary and got like 1.7 million points and stacked up 24 choppers. What did he do?

I guess he just used choppers and as soon as one died he just hopped in the next one. And he had like just an assload of choppers I can't I can't imagine that it's fucking retarded, but what how long would that game last? Finch told me and I don't remember how long it lasted but it was hours was like seven hours or something like that I know I'm gonna quote that but yeah, that's fucking nuts, right? Nothing's saying that's nuts because the thing about firefight is that it's exactly the same difficulty whether you have one person Yeah, maybe you had to single handly fight off. Yeah, four people's worth of like a billion

sheathens, like a billion. A billion. Well, if you've got a wide open map, it's a lot easier than you're not. It's true. That chopper helps a lot. But maybe we can find the file share or the Bungie reporting on the video

about getting a race in firefight. Oh, yeah, we found out you can, you can, I guess glitches in the right word, but if you go through a series of events you can actually get an Arraith in Firefight. Yeah, I guess you could say it's a glitch, but in Bungie.net, they've put in the functionality to kill with a race, so I guess it's not a glitch. It's just, if you know how to do it, you can do it. Yeah, well in the functionality, kill with a race.

What does that mean? Like, you know, yeah, if you check your stats for a game on Bungie.net, you can see all the weapons you use in the most used weapons and race and race, Tariya both in there. Oh, okay. So I'm sure every weapon is in there. I'm sure battle rifles in there, even though ODST doesn't have battle rifles, you know, I mean, it's Yeah, maybe it's part of a, you know, a much larger engine. I guess so. I guess so. My whole problem with that is, I can't imagine a vehicle that I am less effective with than a race. I don't think I've ever been in a race for more than five seconds before someone's killed me. I don't know. Race is pretty powerful.

The only problem with the absolute machine. Yeah, it is. The only problem with the race is that it's like a phantom magnet. And when the phantoms come, I swear they stick around longer if there's a race there. It's better for you forever. It's a good type to give you you got three other people running around the map But if it's just you the phantoms are just gonna have all the attention is drawn to you and your wrath Yeah, we were not able to get anywhere near our high score or using that rate

They were actually pretty low scoring games, but it was fun to do you know speaking of ODST firefight videos we have a firefight video. Oh, yeah Yeah, we would try to do a firefight video podcast and played for God knows how many hours. We played for a couple hours and you whittled it down to like the, I guess the word best doesn't apply that. You whittled that down to nine minutes or so. Yeah, I got like 10 minutes. 10 funny minutes out of four hours of pain.

It was basically us trying to get to the Chieftain round in legendary. Yeah, and we never even know we don't get past the Chieftain round. We got to the Chieftain round in legendary. Yeah, and in the end we don't get past the Chieftain round. We got to the Chieftain round several times. Man, Chieftains. Yeah, I'll have to, I'll love that and put that in the link, don't. But we eventually have to tone it down heroic to get through it. I love to fight the O4 of us, free care, every time a Chieftain comes nearest. And, repenting, he's just like, what?

Chieftain? Plasma pistol and then pistol. Yeah, and nothing. I saw that, that's fucking ridiculous. Of all the game types in Halo. Now I think firefighter I'm worse at. Really? Yeah. I thought co-op would be good but I just... I don't think I'm good at co-op games. Your problem is that you don't ever do combos. You get the most kills every game but you get the shitiest score because you just don't string them together.

That's what you got to do in firefighter. You know, stuff quickly. I'm not trying to go for points. I'm just trying to last as long as we possibly can. I'm just trying to kill all the enemies. I'm not trying to like do it with flair style. I also usually have the least deaths too. But left for dead. I'm not a good partner in left for death. Like whatever I play with Joel or anybody or Finch anybody who's ever played left for dead with me can test of the fact that I'm a bad player. It's like fuck you guys I'm out of here. You're you're angry. Yeah, yeah Generally try to be a manager which does work to a lot of co-op gaming environment some of that comes through in this Yeah, yeah, I think you see a lot better video Yeah, you had ran all the way to the other end of the map. I'm not running to the other than a map for fucking exercise I'm running because there's three chief tsunami. And you guys are killing grunts up by the room going,

wee, and I'm going to get him chased by chief dins. I'm getting chased by chief dins. I can't run through the chief dins together. The great thing is you see us kill like seven broods on our side. I get through them and they start running to try to help Burnie. But he's running away from me. So there's no way I can catch up. It's like, I'm running and you're running.

I'm never going to catch up to you. Well, we're going in a circle so eventually I'm gonna come back I should have been running counterclockwise around the map. Oh Stupid it is a fucking halo map. I'm not gonna run to the next town Instead of shop But the moral of stories if anything's happened to Bernie drop everything you're doing leave all leave all the brutes Let him chase you. What was it Joel said there's no Shorter amount of time that the time which Bernie is jumped on by a hunter and in which he immediately started yelling everybody Man, I was playing with someone like that and Lifer did last night

We'd like the second he got touched by his zombie he was screaming for help and I was like come on It's just quick being a bitch. We have our own, I see the hunters on you. There's like two other people got, you know, caught by smokers. I'm trying to help them first. I'll get to you when your time comes up. Fucking fucking pull the number, dude. You're in the hopper, buddy. It's first jumped first, sir. Around here. So, were you playing Crash Course last night? Yeah. What do you think about it? It's fun. I wish it was more level, so I don't like that so much, too. Yeah, it's a little short, right? But, uh, but it is a lot of fun. I didn't realize that it was only two small chapters. Yeah. I thought it was a whole kind of really. Yeah, it's too

try to know that at all. Yeah. But there are there. I think well, I was gonna say they're longer than normal. It seems like there's not as much variety in uh, object placement to me. It seems like I always find ammo at certain spots and the witch is always at the end of that fucking container. Yeah. But you always feel that way though? No, but normally there's a lot more variety. I feel like there's less options.

Like there are definitely some places where ammo always is. And I never felt like that with previous maps. They ammo definitely. ammo definitely. ammo piles are always in the same place. There's always one of the subway cars on that one table. Like somebody set up a little table next to a crash subway car. The thing about crash course that it's kind of cool that makes it different is that it's like a lot more intense like those two

chapters are a lot more intense than a normal or one of the previous like how would I more intense? Will they immediately start you off with tier two weapons that are like at your disposal almost immediately? And like you get you get more special infected faster in the game. Like I literally started Andrew panton, the first game we played, we had a tank. We spawned with a tank. Like we started the map and there was a tank immediately. Really?

Yeah. Like cutscene ends and there's a tank. Pretty much. Yeah. Like you go about 10 feet and you get a tank. So build up anymore? Yeah, because they're so short, I guess they just wanted to make an action pack so you're constantly fighting special infected and so it may be just two chapters But those two chapters are pretty intense. It seems like there's a lot more

Objects for tanks to throw around to fuck dude like when the tank comes up like they don't chase you and try to hit you anymore Like they are fucking knocking all the environment at you. Yeah, it's absolutely Well, there's achievements in this one associated with being a tank and hitting cars at people Yeah, you gotta you gotta hit 20 kill 20 people with cars I didn't realize that until like after I played a couple times and I was like oh well I've got a bunch of those already. Yeah, it's cumulative But I I have you I've played it. I don't know 10 or 15 times for achievement videos and I have yet to become a tank So speaking of achievements. Yeah, it's rough dude now. I have a big news

What's that I finally thousand point of the game? No, you didn't whoa which one? Halo three And it's a hundred percent I said thousand point. Have you done some DLC? Yeah, I got I don't even count I was playing a DLC map. I was playing like a legendary map the other day and I got like a double double It gave me 25 points which finally gave me a thousand ten points in Halo 30 You only now just go two double kills. So how do you feel? I feel like I said when Halo 3 came out That would be the first game I thousand pointed and I was afraid that maybe fall out three would overtake it or another game And I'm glad Halo 3 was still my first thousand you don't have a thousand points and fall out three No, I do not have a thousand points in any game. Wow. How close are you and fall out? No, I do not have a thousand points in any game. Wow. How close are you in Fallout?

700? That's that's got to be the worst achievement to time management in the history of videos. Quite possible. You played that game like probably 200 hours. I'm not how you don't. Well, remember also like the game fucked up for me and I missed a bunch of like plot related achievements because I like circumvented. No, because G&R plots has blown up. Like those people are all dead. I can't go back. Oh right cuz you went somewhere early Yeah, like I skipped all that stuff. Yeah, well, but I skipped it all and I got it too like you're talking about the like you are talking about the radio Yeah, you can go back and get it. I can't go in back once you go back to see short dog or whatever his name was So I have I have a question three dog three dog. I have a question on that twice burning now

Do you reckon it's less impressive to get a thousand points using new achievements than it is to get the original thousand points now that like say the DLC is out in both situations but if you've done what Gus has done and used some DLC to get a thousand points is that less impressive than getting just the original thousand points? Absolutely. Gavin, I want you to listen to me because I'm explaining this to you for the last fucking time. This is it.

This is it. This is the definitive guide to how I feel about this stuff. This is it. This is the definitive guide. This is how I feel about this stuff I'm gonna answer my question. I don't give a shit about the points at all the points don't matter All that matters to me is completing it a hundred percent Right, but if I said to you I've got a thousand points in hailey 3 would it matter to you whether I'd use DLC Oh, just go to the original because you don't have a hundred percent. I don't know why you can't figure that out Why are you stuck on the thousand thousand? A thousand is not a hundred percent anymore. If the total is 1750, what's a hundred percent of 1750? Quick. 1750? There you go.

So it matters if you've 1750 the game. I wish we had a thousand points. It's a fucking, it's a flag that no longer matters. In fact, in the dashboard, there is now a thing that says how many completed games that you have. That's all I pay attention to basically. How many completed games I have. So I do the other day, on some site, he has like 89 completed games. Jesus Christ, really? Yeah, it was crazy. Wait, so you can see other people's complete again? I was going to point that out, but no, you can't see other people's completed games, which I think is a major shortcoming of the last time I agree. Has that dude who completed 89 games has he ever completed talking to a girl? Yeah, I'm sure she was at your D&D night Whatever we're playing D&D tonight. Yeah, we are there's girls there

So in your face do you guys want to disclose anything about again? Who's playing the girl who is the girl care? Is there anything you guys want to disclose about D&D for your FTC regulations? I'm actually hoping some of that comes out I think I think D&D's paying some people to log. I think you are correct. And I hope it comes out. I wonder if it's going to have to be retroactive. I don't know. Or if, like, say you have your sixth log entry coming up and you've already done five, are you? Well, we already have started this program,

so we have to disclose this one. No, you probably have to disclose anything that gets new. Like, you would have to go back and disclose those five, but you'd have to disclose this one. No, you probably have to disclose anything that gets new, like you would have to go back and disclose those five which you'd have to disclose the six. Do you know what's interesting to me about that? Is that the FTC is not ruling on media on the internet. That's pretty interesting.

Yeah. You know, the ESRB, which is the governing body of rating video games, that's not a government agency. That is a private agency that's kind of like a conglomerate of the video game companies themselves. And they take it much more seriously as a result. Right. They regulate themselves that the government won't do it. Which is very, very, very smart. Right. That's also what the MPAA is, you know. The, the, the motion picture association of America is not a government agency. They

just do it so that Hey, look, we're doing government. You don't need to kind of step in and regulate us, right? Which I think it's smart. You know left for dead too Has been banned now in Australia. Yeah, or I shouldn't say that. Did they clear up that ratings thing yet? I don't think they've cleared it up yet and their thing was at the Australian board I don't know what it's called, but they said this game is unratable Which now means it can't be sold in retail stores in Australia. Yeah, unradable.

Because it features, I'll look it up, but something like, it features infected human beings being killed by the players in ridiculous ways. But didn't Leftford dead have that, and didn't they sell that in Australia? I don't know. I wonder what changed. I don't know. Maybe Leftford dead too, if there's much more intense. There's two black main character It's racist if it's private and not government rude. Why does every gay? Kind of game developer decided don't want to put that game through that because it's is it

They can't sell and retail stores now because they can't be rated they have to have the rating to sell We actually had that a reviewer packaging for red vs Blue DVDs in both New Zealand and in Australia. And so I think they share some similar, you know, ratings operations. I know when we went down to New Zealand, when I went to Auckland without you, I was selling DVDs there and we had to get the DVDs, like I guess, rated by the New Zealand Film Board and I had a roll of stickers that I had to put on all the DVDs I sold it said with the rating. What's our rating? It was like 17 with a yellow Octagon. It's awesome. So say that was a retailer and a game developer who got together and said we don't need to go through the ESRB

because it's not government could they do that? I don't know. I don't know. I think so that's um There's kind of a similar thing in comic books. There's this thing called the comics code which was created because the government started cracking down on comic books for being like two adults business like in the 40s and the 50s and so all the comic book companies got together and created this thing called the comics code and they all voluntarily put it on the comics. Once again a private industry and it's oh It was it was there my entire childhood the entire time I collect the stuff works, but it It's gone now like a lot of people just dropped it marvel was the last company to use it

Well, I think Archie comics probably nobody gives a shit about that marvel was the last major comic to put it on their comics And they they took it off a couple years ago like speaking of self-regulating I think you know even with movie ratings. I think think the theaters don't have to enforce those, right? Like, they choose to enforce it, but they're not legally obliged to. Like, if you're 14 and you buy a ticket to a rated R movie, there's no repercussions for that. Is that true? I didn't know that either.

I saw it investigate that then. Sure. I saw a sign on the convenience store the other day that said, if it was a warning saying, if you're a minor and you come in and mischa represent your age for tobacco sales that the store reserves the right to prosecute you and to sue you And you're any adult adults who help you including parents smart. Yeah, I was pretty I thought that was pretty interesting. Here's why it was refused classification This is according to Kotaku. This is left for dead right?, left without two. The game contains violence that is high in impact and is therefore unsuitable for persons aged 18. Usumi under 18 to play. It notes that this violence is quote, inflicted upon the infected who are living humans infected

with their rabies like virus that causes them to act violently. Also, the report singles out the use of melee weapons as those that inflict the most damage and cause the cause copious amounts of blood, spray, and splatter, the captations and list, limb dismemberment, or even cause intestines to spill from the wounds. I think that's probably the big thing. So it's the melee weapons that did them in. So that's saying that they don't want people

even over the age of 18 to play that. No, also? Yeah, well, they just, they can't get it through retail stores, so it's what are they gonna do? What region is Australia? I don't know, very good. Regent, they're the same region as like Japan. That's what he's region two. Yeah.

That's weird stuff. You know, we don't region and code any of our DVDs. Even though they have ratings on them for Australia or when we sell them in the UK, they're all just free region. They're NTSC typically. But yeah, it seems weird that you would region and code your DVDs and screw up the markets and you know Someone could get a hold of a DVD and they couldn't play it. Yeah, that's fucked up. I hate that But you mentioned retailers in Australia video game retailers I read that the PSP GO is not being carried by eb games in Australia. Why?

Because it's hardware and you know Game stores don't make money on hardware typically they make it selling you know selling other stuff selling accessories or games or whatever or use games in their case The PSP go hat all gets all of its games through download sure, right? So eb games figured they couldn't make any money on it. So there's not stocking it in Australia I mean in a way that makes sense, right? I mean, I wouldn't sell I wouldn't necessarily sell steam gift cards You know in my retail shop. I mean, if nothing else, it's a, it's the beginning of the end for retail stores, really. Yeah.

I mean, once you start having devices where you're delivering directly to the platform, that's the future. Everybody knows that, you know? I mean, I love the games on demand feature on Xbox 360 now, where you can just, you you know attempting sometimes to say wow I can not have a disc I want to go back and replay bio shock and it's like well for 19 bucks I can just have it on my Xbox at any point in time and not put the disc in as opposed to trying to like try to track down your disc that you haven't seen in two years and then installing it metal thing yeah and then it's convenient to think too I can just swap back and forth whenever I want to you know 19 bucks a little steep for that for a game I already own.

But if I didn't own the game, it'd be no brainer. It's, if Dan had installed my copy of Mass Effect, maybe I wouldn't be thinking about buying a download version of it. But that kind of thing would really help out with that guitar hero Van Halen situation, right? Where the retailers just don't want it, because it's over-sexualated. Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah. So they may as well just say, well, download it then. Yeah, just tell people what you're talking about, too. Yeah, tell people what you're talking about, Gav. Oh, people you're talking about too. Yeah, tell people we're talking about gap. Oh, did you know it took Well, that last week I thought you did I don't believe we did know my well Jeff you tell me about it because you told me about it I don't know what you're talking about here. What the fuck? Here's a story I'm happy to do the kick you out right now game stop right right I'm out of the country. I didn't realize my last podcast would be a half-cost. Game stop went to a Van Halen concert.

And they were very impressed and now they no longer sell Van Halen. And what it was was that van, some retailers said that they weren't gonna sell the Van Halen version of Rock Band. Guitar hero. Guitar hero of Guitar Hero because they were just too oversaturated

and there was too many titles in the market. And so then Guitar Hero had to start giving away copies of Van Halen. That's as I understand it. Yeah, well they were giving it away with pre-orders of Guitar Hero 5, I think. Okay, I don't know that it's not gonna come out in stores. I just, I heard that.

Somebody told us that, I don't know. I find it preposterous that they think that market's oversaturated. It seems like that market, or is that market, does generate a lot of money? It seems like there's always lots of sales with those games. Isn't it like the third third the highest selling genre?

Yeah, or something like that seems fishy to me. Yeah, my PS3 Experiment is over. Oh, as of yesterday as of Monday and so I played some Beatles rock band because that's what I've really been waiting to play How is it? I think it's great. I mean, I think it's awesome. I have a problem where um, I don't know if I calibrated my first guitar hero, which was guitar hero 2 I don't know if I calibrated that wrong. I don't know if it came because it was wired But it seems like rock band the timing is different on when you strum on guitar hero I thought it was always like right before it hits you know as it hitting and and rock band seems to be like as it's leaving You probably had bad calibration

I knew one or my old, on your old one. My old one was wired, though. No, that doesn't matter. It's the TV and your sound system. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I probably had bad calibration. So this is the first music genre game you've played since Guitar Hero 2, is that right?

Yeah, I didn't affect me in any way. Yeah, I remember you getting about halfway through Guitar Hero 2. Like when we all got bit by the bug and then you were like, no, fuck this. That's enough. Yeah, I remember you getting about halfway through guitar hero 2. Like when we all got bit by the bug and then you were like, no fuck this. Yeah, that's enough. Yeah, I even bought rock band and then just brought it to the office. And because I thought it was neat and I played the drums I think twice at my house. And I was like, yeah, that's enough.

That's what that's work. Super looking forward to Lego rock band so that I can introduce my kiddos to, you know, playing instruments and things like that. Are you gonna pick up the wireless mic? You said the wireless mic's working in that, right? I've got it. It's cool, man. How do you, like I haven't set mine up yet?

I have the wire, I have all that shit, but you know, because of my house I haven't set it up. Yeah. Do they just sync up and work? Because before they just worked in that one title. Oh no, they're fine. Okay. I understand they even have a patch now

that makes them work for Rock Band 2. Oh, awesome. I think so. There was one major title, and I think it was Rock Band 2 that they weren't working with for a long time and they finally put out the patch for it. But it worked right out of the box with Beatles. Great. I look forward to doing that one day.

Yeah. And I assume they work. It gave me an A or a 96% on one song that I sang. So maybe it doesn't work as well as it should be because I should not be scoring 96% on singing. Were you playing on the super, super easy setting? No, that's that's only available in Lego Rock band The very easy setting or whatever that's I think I think in Beatles Rock band there's a no fail option though. Oh, I think there is Well, that wouldn't give me 96% that would just make me not fail

Yeah, but yeah, you said like in Lego Rock band. There's like a super easy setting, right? Yeah, it's like so the kids only have to hit like red or yellow And there's only one that's on the screen at a time Yeah, I think we saw that when you and I played it at Comic Con right? We did yeah, and it was a it was pretty cool. I think my kids are gonna like it a lot I like to hope so pick that up for millions if she wants to be a singer when does that come out? Gosh, I think November 17th I want to say but I'll look it up and give you a better date than that per FTC regulation

We're tired to say but I'll look it up and give you a better date than that per FTC regulation We're tired to say that No, no, no, I'm kidding. So much stuff coming out over the next two months. It's fucking nuts Not a word for it. Two is just like I mean you can just see it growing. Oh, yeah Gathering the seam. Let uh, November 10th is when rock band Lego comes out. What that's the same thing as modern warfare Rock band Lego comes out what that's the same thing as modern warfare. Oh, whoa Which way am I gonna get it? It's only 50 bucks so so if you're short $10 you can get it on either the Wii The PlayStation 3 the 360 or the DS all the same game the crazy thing to me is left for dead to an Assassin's Creed 2 come out of the same Day I can't wait for Assassin's Creed 2 fucking love that game. Yeah, right. Well, they're both I'm Super looking forward to both of them. They're both fucking fantastic games now until the end of the year

It's just left for Dead 2 for me. Really? Yeah, absolutely. Love that game. Yeah. I love that game. It's an original game, you know? I mean, there's not, you know, there's not many games that come out.

I haven't played a game like Left for Dead. Even though it's a shooter, it's so unique in the way they set it up. It's really refreshing after all these years to have something that feels new to play. And I remember when I first saw it, saw it packs packs I think a year and a half ago two years ago Leftward had one you mean yeah, I left for didn't want I was like I'm gonna play that game You know you could you could see people through walls and stuff Your brother was constantly talking to us about it because your brothers like obsessed with zombies like us And he was constantly sending his news and stuff about it and we were both like this like

Yeah, it's like fast zombies. Yeah, that was a big thing and there's like special zombies This is no special zombies and then you played it and the first time you played it you hated it Bernie did I really yeah I remember that we had a hit on the office yeah it's because you you stepped out of the safe room started playing and a horde came right away you're like oh this is stupid I can't see anything I can't move yeah and about 20 minutes later you were like Jeff Kameer Jeff Kameer look at this is the best game look at the one with the hoodie on.

It's a job. It totally makes sense. I get it now. And playing with the melee weapons is awesome, because we've had a chance to do that. And probably they talked about the Australia report. They talked about how guts spill out and how you can take off people's arms and things like that.

Even the pipe bombs are different now. When you throw a pipe bomb out there, instead of them all gathering around it, and there's a big red mist, now all the bodies go flying. Oh, right. Yeah, they fly in the air, and they all, like, Wow, that's cool.

Huge explosion of the body. Well, even if you have like 30 zombies around one, I will, I don't know if it does every single one of them, but yeah, it's pretty cool. It's not just the red mist anymore. They've definitely stepped things up. And we heard recently recently Gabe Newell said that they've had 300% more pre-orders than they did for the original F4 Dead. Yeah, and that

they're spending, and this is Gus' story. I tried to tell Gus about this, yes, but I have to- Okay, I want to- I want to- I want to- I want to- I want to- I want to- let me tell you something. Okay. Wow. Because I'm a little upset now, because I just thought about something else. earlier in this podcast Jeff Complained that we just sat there with our iPhones playing doodle jump the entire lunch at this same lunch I read a press release to the table that valve at say not talking about how they're spending $25 million marketing left for dead to and With that 300% figure I have no memory of that and Jeff was sitting right next to me when I said this at lunch We got into the car after work. He's like, do you hear Left For Dead 2, spend 25 million dollars

marketing the game and that they've already done 30% of the pre-orders of Left For Dead 1? I almost stopped the car and punched them. You were very upset. This is nothing new. This is not new at all. He was just bitching about us, not being interactive or talking at lunch.

What incentive is there for me to talk? If you don't fucking listen, if it doesn't fucking stick, It's like talking to a rock 30 minutes ago we made a joke from a red versus That he read yesterday. I have no memory of that I think I probably only read my lines Listen, so Preorders are doing well and there's $25 million more. I think I think they said they spent 10 million on leopard ed one

Yes, so I told you that a year ago, but I'm not gonna hold that against you I don't I don't buy that See Jeff this is why you're not the staffer that I have secret sexual relations with in the upstairs Bedroom that's in here in our studio. What do you guys think about that? Oh? Yeah, it's crazy right about Letterman and his big reveal. Oh That's crazy. I I'll tell you who doesn't think it's crazy. Who his wife? What? No, um, what's his name? Roman plans Roman Vlansky doesn't think it's crazy shit speaking of Roman plans. You did you guys hear that the

Did you guys hear that the uh what was that? What was that? Something fell down. Was it the Swedish government refused uh uh his uh parole? Swiss. Swiss. Sorry. Same fucking country. No, it's not even they're not even close.

Yes. It's just the SW thing. I did that with a guy who came to visit us from Switzerland. Oh, it's a Stefan. I introduced everybody he met that we can understand. This is Stefan from Sweden. And he say Switzerland. Every single time from Sweden, and he's saying switch a little bit. Every single time.

Yeah, this felt so bad. I felt bad about the guy, because I, at one point, I got a chance to talk with him, you know, one on one. And I was asking about Sweden, because you told me he was from Sweden. And he said he's actually from Switzerland. I felt like the biggest, like, American idiot, like, who has no idea what he's talking about. That was the nicest guy I've ever met in Thailand.

Yeah, it was pretty cool,. I got great. So but Roman Polanski has to be very Happy that this whole thing with letterman is going down because it do diverts so much He doesn't know he's in prison in Switzerland. Does he know that this is going on? I'm sure lawyers are talking to him. You know you see does he think he might be in prison in Sweden He might be I saw a headline a couple days ago, after this whole Roman Plansky thing went down, that looked like it was a headline right out of the onion. It was something like Hollywood legend Woody Allen comes

to the fence of Robin Polansky. I don't know. It was like, come on, really? Like Woody Allen talking about how Roman Polansky should be let free. Yeah. It was like, really? I mean, you're doing more hard than good.

You know, and a bunch of directors came out or just people in Hollywood and writers came out and Started I don't think they signed a petition, but there's a list of people who say we support Roman Polanski we think he should be freed and Now as a result of that my wife read this. I can't go see any movies. Yeah, absolutely some super respectable people to like fucking like Absolutely some super respectable people to like fucking like what'd be gold But score sazy's on that list too. It's it's embarrassing. It's pretty fucking embarrassed I know that Kate Winslet's husband is on that list. I don't know either. He's a writer and Now now as a result of that there's shrapnel on Kate Winslet where my wife won't let me go see or she won't go Would just see Kate Winslet movies, which means I can't go see Kate Winslet

Well, right because anybody that would sign that petition is a pedophile right i mean i don't know but my wife is she's she's she's definitely up in arms about it so is he definitely guilty he admitted to it so why people he was he was why he built and come into his side because the the victim has sense forgiven him what does it mean she did they say that his artistic talent is so great that we should be able to overlook it. It's also, he's also well beyond the point. I think they're saying that he would have been in jail.

Yeah, but the point is the jail time is that's right. Yes. Fucking played guilty and then ran. Well, didn't he also, didn't he also have a, and I'm showing doubles advocate here. Didn't he have a deal? And then they were going to go back on the deal after he was convicted? That he went through and he was going to I do some kind of community service and maybe some time and then he did that and then when they said

Well, maybe you were not going to do that after he did that then he left Oh did he actually do it? I don't think he'd actually ever done it. Yeah, I didn't think so either I thought as soon as he get sentenced to yeah took off So do you think it should just be jailed for the rest of his life? Yeah, sure And he was also in rush out of three which is a terrible movie, so well there you go. That's it. They should add time for that But it does show the two different approaches that you can take to something like this. No, they're not equivalent absolutely not, but you're right, but letterman Telling telling the audience about it you you hear it from him. And he

basically he now he's facing the music day one. He doesn't have to spend his whole life with this thing. You know what I mean? Where if he'd paid this guy two million dollars and actually done that, the guy would constantly keep keep coming back. Yeah, two million dollars would last long. It's also a little different. Letterman didn't do anything illegal. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying it's it's not equivalent, but it's just the approach of you know owning up to your mistakes. Yeah. You know someone's in trouble when Wikipedia prevents you from editing that That was a stand-up thing letterman did you know? I found out shitty thing he did but he really I mean I found a I found out about that letterman thing in a weird way stand-ups the right word but you know a bunch of people a bunch of people

I went to high school with you know request friendship with me on Facebook And I normally prove it and I have like the special list for news feeds from people that I don't really talk to but I went to high school with and The day of the letterman taping I was looking at that news feed and one of the dudes I went to high school with whose name is Chris Had an update. I was like I just landed in New York. Oh my god. I can't believe I'm watching a taping of the late show David Letterman And then like an hour later he had another Facebook update that was like holy shit you need to watch David Letterman tonight. It's he reveals a sex scandal and I was like and that's how I found out my new that's how I knew to watch Letterman that night was because of the status update there on a social network. Do you know who his guess was that night? I was Woody Harrelson right?

Woody Harrelson and Kim Kardashian. Yeah I wish I'd seen that I wish I'd seen Woody Harrelson come out after that. Yep. So what's going on? I watched it and like they they start off. David Letterman says, oh, I hear you got married recently. I always thought you were married. How's that going? You know, he says I always thought you always struck me as a married type. I always thought you were married.

Woody Harrelson looks at him and goes, I thought you were married too. Oh, there's kind of an awkward moment What do you mean open up both barrels there? Speaking of Woody Harrelson He's been launched back into stardom because of this zombie land movie That so I think so I think it's about the same level that Woody Harrelson's always been at No, it seems like he's got a little bump going on He's got some he me this isn't like this isn't like an Oscar role or anything like this

It's what name the last movie Woody he hear else and was in before this? I guess if you're asking me that, I would say the people versus Larry Flint. That's the first thing I think of. He was in a movie called The Grand. He did a lot of like straight to DVD, straight to video, like the movie films. I'd say the last movie is in. He was in no country for old men.

Yeah, he was definitely on the upswing then. Yeah, my wife was always a very big whitey-harlson fan. so I've got a big chip on my shoulder when I come to play with her. Is that what it is? Yeah, is that why she likes him a lot? I'd like... You should shave your head. Little too much. She likes balding dudes, like older balding dudes.

Now she's making the shift where she's starting to like... She likes Zach Efron. Yeah, Zach Efron and the dude from Twilight. Jesus. So now you gotta turn gay and shave your head. I guess so. I guess so. I guess so. And pal, you were hanging out with your wife the other day

and you were talking to me about sex drive and you showed a clip. I hadn't seen it yet at that point. And your wife got mad at me that I found it funny. She was actually upset with me that I thought the clip you showed me was funny. There was a really weird thing you had the other day where somehow I ended up with Jason at your house

When you guys weren't there and we were babysitting Millie somehow that I don't know how that happened Where Jason I were just hanging out on a Saturday night? babysitting Millie at your house and my wife came over to pick me up for dinner and she walked in and Jason and I were watching David Letterman's confession on YouTube and He's funny and we were laughing about it. My wife walked in and she said, what are you laughing about? I said, well, this letterman thinks she goes, oh, that's real funny. That's real funny.

Man, that kind of... Was she genuinely mad? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if you've ever run into this before. Women take adultery much more seriously than you guys do, much more seriously. They like a lot of stories, fictional stories about adultery much more seriously than I do much more seriously they like a lot of stories fictional stories about adultery yeah no but like all their stories are about adultery and people

having affairs you know and things and like my wife watches madmen and all that stuff is on there and it doesn't really bother her but as soon as it happens in real life watch out it's not as though I always to The watch out is all I'm saying. Just watch out. Be careful. Bernie's not allowed to leave the house now. Before we move away from the subject.

Letterman's on off limits. Kate Winslet's off. You're pretty much down to lifetime and we. I could probably actually watch now a Roman Polanski movie before I could watch a Kate Winslet movie. As weird as that is. What do you think of Zombie Land? I mean, I thought it was Zombie movie. I thought I didn't think it was nearly as good

as Sean of the Dead. And I'll just say this, my main problem with Zombie Land is, there's no zombies in it. If you're gonna have a zombie apocalypse where six billion people suddenly turn into zombies, you're gonna see some zombies. And it's not until the, and I don't wanna ruin zombies and it's not until the and I don't want to ruin anything it's not until like the last 15 minutes of that movie that there's a massive

hoard of zombies yeah and most they ever run into is two maybe three zombies and they talk about themselves as the last humans right that there's nobody else left a lot in theory there's six billions on these somewhere right they're just nowhere where these people go. This is not a spoiler and if he does a spoil, I promise we'll edit it out. But what is this scene before the last scene, the climactic scene, what is the scene that has the most amount of zombies in it? It's probably where they're driving through.

An urban downtown area. Yeah. And an urban downtown area. It's maybe nine. Major metropolitan area. Yeah, there's not even that many. There's maybe six zombies in that scene. Really? And they all come from behind camera and it's Yeah, there's not even that many. There's maybe six zombies in that scene And they all come from behind camera and it's like

Maybe all the zombies were just like slightly off camera everybody everybody's talking about how great that movie I was playing I was playing Lepre than Lepre did last night and everyone I was playing with in pickup games was talking about it I'm it was not like good. I'm well. I don't really funny That was a funny man. It's a beauty. I guess this one thing that I hate about every zombie movie though is that characters will just make annoying bullshit decisions and it just makes me mad every time I was like why are you doing that you dopey bitch? It is a comedy, but some of the stuff they do in this movie is ridiculous Yeah, especially when they set up some of the characters as being very practical and understanding you know I like the whole zombie plant thing.

We made that PSA. And there's kind of a character that's... His whole thing is that he's got zombie plants. And that keeps coming back in the movie. But I would go see it. I mean, you know, it's... It's a good movie. It's funny.

There's parts of it that are funny. And I like zombies. Yeah, that's a great one. They did a lot of stuff really well. Yeah. There's a very funny... Like... There's a great most they did a lot of stuff really well. Yeah, there's a very funny like There's a very funny thing that happens Probably a little over half way through the movie. That's great

So yeah, and I think everyone's kind of talking about that without really talking about it I don't know if it's worth a I don't know if any movies worth like the $60 for the babysitter or the whole thing Go on it. Go on it. For my wife and I go to the movie.. I'll be over. Yeah, that's true. For my wife and I go to the movie It's like a hundred dollars. Yeah, just time a talk show host has a major scandal Somehow in the house to get yelled at by my wife. Thank you for babysitting my daughter He babysit Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason was babysitting my kid. I'll tell you what man Jason. There is nobody you'll meet who's better with kids than Jason. Yeah, Jason and Dan both Yeah, I don't know man. Jay's there's something about Jason kids. Yeah, I mean he's so good with kids than Jason. Yeah. Dan, Jason and Dan both. Yeah, I don't know man. Jason's something about Jason's kids.

Yeah. I mean, he's so good with kids. He's just super laid back. He's like, hey, he's with some. But I had a really fun experience being at Jeff's house because after I went through the dressers a couple times, I got to know more. And I was looking for something to do.

Jeff does not have cable at his house. Essentially, you don't have television. Yeah. You have monitors in your house that Xbox is a plug and didn't do. And you have a Roku player, which I don't know why you have anymore. Now the Netflix is on. The Amazon. Oh, that's Amazon, right? MLB TV. Jeff has a dedicated Netflix player essentially. Yeah. Which we're out before the service hit the Xbox. So he has no TV. And so with this yet to get your

television or your media some other way. And it was no problem. I mean I went over there and I forgot I had had my password already set up for your network at your house. I sat down. I was watching essentially Letterman on demand. And Jason was streaming over the web. He was streaming the Oklahoma game versus Miami. Yeah, Miami won that game. Yeah, it's shaping up to be a really weird season very bizarre season. Yeah, uh-oh. Yeah, what it's a sports section. I know. University of Houston was having a really weird run there, but then they lost to you, tap, which I don't understand. They got they beat Texas tech and then lost to you, tap, texted me, I think 64 to 7. Yeah, that's pretty much what it is. But yeah, you're absolutely right. I got rid of, essentially got rid of TV like a year and a half ago.

And thanks to sites like Hulu and Xbox Lives and that streaming Netflix, I didn't skip the beat. That's an effect of me at all. It is really, somebody posted on DIG recently. They posted the AT&T commercials, which are, you will, do you mind if you will, can't paint? Oh which are you will do you know I saw that yeah I saw that did you watch them yeah and how eerily accurate these things were they ran in the mid 90s early 90s early 90s and it was all about have you ever done this have you ever borrowed a book

from a thousand miles away you will and it shows somebody like looking over a book on their computer screen and almost all of them were accurate of course being AT&T They had a little bit of centrity and that they had a phone booth with a video phone in it and that's the one thing like Have you ever sent a fax from the beach? It's like Well, that's essentially a fax. I mean, it's just a document Have you ever sent a document from the beach and and it shows a guy with a tablet and it's just obviously mocked up Tablet and he sends it from the beach and then goes off to go

Scalop or clam or whatever he's going to do when they go scallop or clam. Yeah, did he go crab afterwards? That's a real thing. You never heard of going climbing. Yeah, oh wow. You can use it. It's a verb. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Jesus. I Clammed that's that's right. That sounds that sounds disgusting and stupid Yeah, I think you only know that you've ever lived up in the Northeast. Yeah, that's a Northeastern thing Yeah, but they that was accurate and then I saw this crazy thing There's just two things that have come out in Photoshop originally that are just blown by mind Which are the contextual scaling? Have you seen that? No. Actually, there's a lot of stuff with photos. It's going to drive me crazy.

It's like a magical landscape where there's a mountain on the right side and then a big blue expanse of sky and then a house on the right side. Okay. Okay. Contextual scaling is if you take the bottom right and you drag it, it just removes all the non pertinent data. Oh, yeah, I've seen that before. From the photo.

So you're scaling. You'll have to post a video of this. There were some commercials. I think there were Lexus commercials like like this that came out or Toyota commercials Came out about six months ago with this so instead of shrinking everything uniformly It just gets rid of more the sky in the middle So you keep the house and you keep the thing and just move them closer together. Oh really? It's very bizarre

Then I saw another thing where they were taking Images uploaded a flicker and they were reconstructing buildings in 3D and just using everybody's angles from say the cathedral Notre Dame. Oh yeah. And they were just rebuilding on the fly. That's crazy. Yeah, that's that's so pretty cool. Now I've shown you that before. I think that was that was off shoot a C-dragon when that first started. Yeah, this is all older stuff and the conceptual scaling is too. I saw this thing just this morning where they have software where you take a blank white frame and you say You draw with your mouth you draw a dude and you say you're a little man

And then you write next to the man you write groom and then you write draw a little cat and you write leopard and then you say desert It goes out on the web and it makes a montage It makes a Photoshop from your sketch of a groom in the desert with a leopard. That's from real photos. And it looks, I mean this is obviously a demo that they marked up themselves. It's frightening, absolutely frightening how good these things look. Really? Yeah, it's like scribble knots on the internet. It's a reality. That's awesome. Yeah. I remember that one that you were talking about where it compiles all the pictures, the buildings. It was like showing all the individual pictures and one of them it took a picture of

like some dude standing next to a poster of that building. Yeah, and you were standing in front of a poster of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Yeah, and it just it bung that in because I guess it recognized it. Mm-hmm. It was crazy. Yeah, and then they could reconstruct it. You could move through it like in the 3D space based on all these photos that it had in the database. What is the most photograph thing on earth? Perselton

The most photographed thing on earth would probably be the sky Who that's I don't know I don't know it's got like the question what's the biggest organ in your body? Skin yeah, right the dog, but that's not how it doesn't count but it doesn't really count why what is in skin count it's kind of it's one of those like trivia trick questions I mean how can you see what's the most photograph thing of all time I'm sure that you could tell by the number of photos that were taken of it on the internet you know I'll do this guy then it's in all the fucking photos outdoors there you go. Electrons. Guess I went through and read on YouTube.

What was the last week we talked about the Malay or the crash with Malibu? I hope you guys saw that. That was an incredible video. What were you talking about? Oh yeah, the Slimmer. You were in the podcast, but you saw the video. We read a YouTube comment where a guy said, it's an unfair test because I'm gonna try to quote this guy. Cause I don't know if you can quote this guy. I don't wanna misquote him.

And this represent his stupidity. He's an amazing grasp of science. He said, we all know that over time, all materials lose electrons, which makes them weaker. So the Belair would have lost more electrons since it's 50 years old. Therefore it would have been a weaker. Therefore not a fair test. Wow. They should have built a new 1959 Belair. Using materials they would have had it that's right because they won't, they doesn't have an electron loss.

they won't, doesn't have electron loss. Duh. You know, it's through normal static. Just lose electrons. Over time. Fucking idiot. We're all just shedding electrons all day long. You know, just tons of radiation everywhere. And not getting them back.

So. That's why you get older. You get, you get lighter. Is that? Duh. Everyone knows that. It's why you get a more positive outlook on You have less you have less electricity. Listen to get to be in your body It was amazing where all the shit ended up in that car though

I remember talking to a guy on set once he was a he was a stunt driver and he's crashed a lot of cars And one of the first crashes he did he he like he like the airbags went off and apparently like you get a lot of heat from airbags It burnt his hands. He's like I burnt all my arms and then he looked down he's like shit did I piss myself and it turned out that the the headlight fluid container somehow made it into the car onto his lap the headlight fluid container really yeah and leaked that's amazing I can't believe it went all the way from the headlight fluid from all the way from the headlight fluid from all the way to the hood into a toilet and I just see and I flew it

did you just say headlight fluid? well you told me that but there's no scene the headlight fluid is do you really think there's headlight fluid? oh how is it even possible

oh the lights are dim better put some more fluid in there Oh The lights are dim better put some more fluid in there You're a fucking more I don't want you way too much red versus blue. No, I mean the white Oh my god. This is the dumbest moment in the history of our company. I'm so glad I'm recording this. Oh man. Oh yeah. See, in previous podcasts, I always get made- I always get made up to be stupid because

some of us will tell a story stupid. Okay, I admit. That was the fucking dumbest thing I've ever said. But you know what I mean, right? All right, is it, it's Metric's headlight fluid? Is that what you mean? It's a good job, I'm going home. I'm actually, I'm going to get a flight today.

I'm going to leave. I can't wait for you to make sense. I thought, why is everyone just quietly looking at me like I'm insane? I was trying to literally not to laugh! Because I wanted you to finish! I wanted you to finish! Oh my god! Oh my god!

It's your fucking show! This guy's stuck in my head! My face hurts from laughing! Now you know! Oh my god! And he's got his elbow grease all over the seat. The headlight fluid joke is actually not something that we made up. No, I know it's one of those things like sky hooks and a like a box of curve balls.

Flight line. I'm well aware, okay, fuck you guys. You're well, I just... Obviously you're not getting the use of the expression I'm well aware of anymore. That's awful in the field. You lost that. Oh my god, I can't believe... You've lost your life.

What would you do? That's awful in the field. He's lost that. Oh my god, I can't believe- You've lost your life. So I think it was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you.

He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you.

He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was you. He was I got it wasn't allergic to head life. Oh My god Man I don't I read a breather. Oh man. Oh Jesus man alive Funny good lord, Gavin good lord. I don't know where we can go from there. Yeah I I mean, I'm talking about- I'm tempted to just end the podcast now. I mean, Jesus Christ.

Oh, Lord. I'm gonna try to use the Photoshop thing and draw a sketch of headlight. Like, where did you go out with a bang, Gavin? I'm really sorry, we're gonna miss it. No, I used to be a very equal member of this podcast, you know. Then, then, Angry Gus died, and now I just became like- And now you're talking about-

No, you're talking about headlight. Now, real Gavin came out. All right, let's give Gavin a chance to redeem himself. We'll talk about something Gavin and I found, and we were talking about, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 1400 descendants Now that's that girl that woman like the fuck She got it on was she hot she had 12 kids and her 12 kids had an average of 12 kids She may be the most successful woman on the planet in terms of what a female has to do 1400 if 12 kids have 12 kids that's 144 You're like this how it starts. Krijevsky, I apologize, is this dead woman if I pronounce your name incorrectly,

got married to her cousin just before turning 19. The couple brought seven sons and four daughters into the world that's 11. She brought up her children to see that her children is a great joy. Her children subsequently adopted her outlook and produced 150 children over their own. So those 11 kids had 150 children.

Okay. More than she even had. These 150 children continued the commitment to be fruitful and multiply in themselves had no less than 1,000 children. That's a, where do you have, so about it, she had 1,400 direct descendants. So they have to have,

So then the 150 had like seven each. Yeah, not, they're kind of scaling back. Right back right so she's a and she's from the Pacific Northwest she said for seven Northwest I guess you guys were you guys were in Seattle we were dealing with we talked about it she was a Jerusalem might so she's from Jerusalem I assume that's Jerusalem might is that what they are one of Jerusalem Jerusalem I came to say it, Jerusalamite. Rachel Turguev, she's chill with grandchildren, says with probably grandma knew all of her descendants.

That sounds very... That must be the rugged tree. Christmas must fucking suck for them. No, they do see Crescent if you show. They don't think they celebrate Crescent if you show. They're first Jerusalam. What the hell is wrong with your people? Hey, grandma!

For Christmas, I got a box I had like fluid. I got a dreidel for Christmas. That's not just stupid as fuck, yes, dad. Christmas I got a box I had like fluid. I got a dreidel for Christmas I'm sorry stupid Hanukkah must suck for them. Well, they have 12 days of Christmas right? Yes, they have 12 days of Christmas. That's a celebrate Hanukkah. You have 12 days of Christmas They get 12 days of presents Santa Claus is very tired I wonder if there's anything intelligent between Alabama and Britain Anywhere isn't that true though? Don't in in

Yes, but they'll call called 12 days of Christmas. Oh, look, 12th of Hanukkah. 12 days of Hanukkah. It's 8 days of Hanukkah. Sure. I think technically it's actually 8 nights. It's what they say. Anyway, it's a lot of fucking presents. That's all I'm saying.

But in the animal kingdom, that is pretty much the function of a female right just to produce and just to produce That's all females do I would say an evil I'm gonna try to interpret what he's saying here. Yeah, say save him from having to go home and from a Dore Winning perspective just speaking on an evolutionary scale. She's that woman is a success She has more descendants not just women anybody. That's, you know, anything. Anything, yeah, like if, you know, the guy, actually the guy who has 10 kids at a wedlock, that guy is actually successful.

Yeah, that's the most, you know. He, he has spread his genes across the, like a white gene pool. Exactly right. And so, you know, you don't normally think of a guy who's got 10 illegitimate children as being a success story, but actually from a biological, I, I was speaking from the like animal team. He touched his bits on a few different horses. So yeah, 1400 directors and I mean, that's just crazy. That's crazy. I mean, where do they have the

funeral death to like Renestadium? Yeah, it's like the Superdom. Well, I mean, you can just, I mean, let's apply some math here. Imagine if every single person on the planet within what I call it, 60 years, 70 years, if they turned into 1400 people. I mean, we'd have 1400 times six billion in just 60 years. That's a frightening idea. It's fucked up. People shouldn't have that many kids.

What we're seeing though, I think, I'd be interested to see the most successful out of those 1400 people and the least successful person of those 14 hundred people. Like one of them is a serial killer, right? How would you even rate it? Yeah. And the other one would be like a multi-billionaire.

I could rate it. You could be a serial killer where you just kill your cousins and you'd probably never get done. But then you wouldn't have anyone to marry. Got what I'm really not. Right. Come on. That's a good point. Jesus.

So is that, I mean, is that, that's okay? You can marry your cousin. I mean, genetically, that's okay. What are you asking me for? So is that, I mean, is that that's okay? You can marry your cousin. I mean genetically that's okay. What are you asking me for? Sorry, my eyes just naturally gravitated towards you. I mean, can you do that? I don't think that's good. I think your chances are okay of everything working out okay, but you do have a heightened chance of problems with genetic defects. I read a while back that it's mostly actually misinformation and social stigma.

But it's really not that much danger to it. For the most part you're safe, but it's still slightly more dangerous than a non-cousin. Interesting. Which is a shame because I don't have any good-looking cousins. Not a looker among them. Most of my cousins are dudes. We have 12 people in my generation with all the cousins and 11 of them are guys We have a lot of guys in my family. They have a good looking

But the guys yeah, I really I have about a hundred cousins You have a hundred cousins like first cousins. Yeah, my my mother has 10 brothers and sisters and my dad has four four yeah, see I think that's what we see in this country more often is that we have and my dad has four. I think that's what we see in this country more often is that we have bigger above us. Does that make sense? Do any of those 10 brothers and sisters of your mother do any of them have a family of 10 people? No, but they give it a good try. They'll have families like eight, nine.

Yeah, but diminishing. This lady, maybe some summer for kids outpacing you find this is very typical in developed countries where as time goes on they have a shrinking population Which is a big problem in countries like Japan now it is where that country's not gonna exist in 200 years on this they start fucking soon. Yeah, they have just I wonder is Japan big for immigration to people immigrate to Japan to be I don't think so That's really it's a very xenophobic country. Yeah, really? Does it have tough immigration laws? I don't know how their immigration laws are like, but not a very welcoming place. How did you learn the word xenophobic?

I learned it from the video game, xenophobic. From xenophobic, which I learned it too. I call it ex-anophobic, my dad corrected me. I love xenophobic. I think I used to play it in the arcade a lot. It was weird because I don't know if I've seen another game like that where you have like four players working together co-op and it's just like one CRT that's like divided into sections. I want to say there's another game but I can't remember what it was now. It was like these big slivers.

It was like a quarter of the screen slivered out. It was a split screen video game. Yeah, I was all oniver out. It was a split screen video game. Yeah. And that's it. Yeah, I was all on one screen. It was weird. Yeah, instead of cutting it like, you know, in Halo, where you have like quadrants, it's like, you know, long strips. You know what I'm talking about, trying to describe it to. Yeah, it was still split screen, but it was, you know, split vertically.

And they never went to quadrants. Or yeah, vertically. Yeah, they said long horizontal stripes. Right. Because you were in hallways. Right. And it was a side kind of a side view thing. And then you could end up on each other's in the same section of hallway. Right. As other people. So yeah, it's it's

it's never seen this game gap. No, I'm fucking confused. I thought I knew how the thing was split and then Bernie said some stuff and I'll put it I'll put it in the link down. But it's really it was really interesting. I don't know what that means. I explained it properly here. Yeah, I can't explain it really well. If it confused Gavin. properly. Yeah, I can explain it really well. If it confused Gavin. Yes, sexlessness in Japan is sparking population crisis. They have government incentives for people to have children now. And like a lot of big companies are increasing, like maternity and paternity leave, and giving people bonuses if they go out and have kids. Man, less kids seems like not a problem. No, because the problem is that their pension and retirement fund is shrinking because there's less people in the workforce and people are getting older. So it's really fucking go

out. The financial system. I don't know. Japan has the problems we've had in the past. So, but we've got that in America too where the baby boomers are such a huge generation and they're going to weigh down if we still have pensions, very few people have pensions anymore, they all have 401k's which are gone now too. But um it seems like there yeah there's less people beneath them but people are living longer so we just need to move up the retirement age so that there's you know more generations beneath them that are earning wages and to take care of that. Yeah I guess we we should. You know, I just, it bothers the hell out of me to know that we're heading into stuff like this where you know it's gonna be a major crisis for us,

just like we all knew the housing thing's gonna be a major crisis and we didn't do anything. And here it comes and what are we gonna do about it? What did people, what was the main response from your threat about how to improve the drug tent? Did people like the long ones or the choice? There were a lot of suggestions. People seem to like you getting mad at me. Yeah, people like me getting mad. People seemed okay with the length, but as far as

suggestions for improvements, a lot of people suggested contradictory things. Like, I'll give you an example. One person said that we should have like set segments. Like have a segment dedicated to gaming, a set of section dedicated to films, a section dedicated to you know our website, but we should keep it all totally spontaneous. Right. I think we kind of do that anyway. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like how do you keep it spontaneous but then you know make it more

rigid at the same time and force it. It doesn't, it didn't make sense to me. You just described my marriage. Lots of rigid things. Oh, not exactly. Oh, here's a to me. You just described my marriage. A lot of the rigid things. Oh, not exactly. Oh, here's a great one, here's a great one. I like to read stuff from the news as well. And I've had this one bookmarked for two weeks

waiting for Gavin to come back. A recent study determined that women were to rate their lovers from all different nationalities. And they determined that German men are the worst lovers in the world. Very efficient. Women say they are too smelly. I don't know why they specifically said that. Oh, Jeb is a stinky. And they were voted the world's worst lovers. And would anyone care to guess who the second worst lovers in the world were British come on UK British men for being too lazy So Gavin would you like to respond to your second place ranking? No, I have no

I can't be bothered I can't be bothered to lazy to talk about this Who was what was ranked number one? German's work. No, oh, you mean best? I don't think they ranked that. I think Spanish man actually. I like to also point out that I'm not actually English and I'm more Italian. You're actually going to call me. Where have you lived your whole life? Italian men ranked third highest.

So you are second lowest and third highest. Fuck yeah, that's it. That's the middle, I guess. Yeah, that average is that somewhere in the middle. Pretty much all I live my life. How do American dudes rank? Let's see, this is actually from a British source British source so I don't think they saw the need to go out of their way to mention the US ranking they don't want to put the colonies in there no no yeah they don't recognize this maybe they include this in British because they haven't recognized that we've broken away yet

like people in the comments were asking how did the Americans do how the Americans do? How do the Americans do? So you want to know how the Americans did try one? Find out yourself. Yeah, but that's a... I mean, who are the women who are going around sleeping with all the men I'm appointed? They sound like hot sluts. We know one who had fucking 12 kids. Yeah, right. I think she stayed to get you know, tour village for her lovers though. Literally her village. village yeah quite literally like she's walked across the house she asked her cousin what he was doing didn't Griffin make out with some English dudes and say that they were the worst kisses that she'd

have a yeah Griffin's made out of a lot of nationalities and according to her British men are the by far the worst wow burst worst maker routers Just like in general with sexy type stuff. Really? Yeah. That's interesting. Yeah. She says they're very disappointing. Disappointing.

Like universally. And every now and then. You hearing this? I'm hearing it. Why do you suppose that is? I don't know. I can tell you. Hmm.

I don't know this. You want to try out? I'd like to think she's not an expert. But she probably is. So we have found this really weird thing. It's not going to be applicable to anybody else who's listening to this podcast, but I thought you guys would find it interesting. Okay. Um, there's a new service that is, and this is not a pay block, but I found it interesting. There's a new service in San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin, which is close to where we live.

Hmm. I've heard of this places. And it's called whiteglove.com. And you pay a monthly subscription fee to it. It's a healthcare service. And then a nurse practitioner or a doctor will come to your house for $35 a visit. And they will do blood work. I assume for an extra cost. And they will just do tests for strep and flu. And they will actually bring you medications and stuff like gate raid and crackers and things when you're sick. So you don't have to get up and go to the doctor. That's great. So it's like a house call service.

So any $35 a call but then you have to pay like a monthly fee. I think it's $80 a month which would be about a thousand dollars a year for a family. For an individual it's only 35 bucks. So if you were at home and you were too lazy to go get crackers and Gatorade you could just call a doctor and pretend to be dehydrated. I guess you could for 35 bucks if you really wanted to do that, you know, you could probably also call like P pod or what depends on how lazy you are like Gavin over there For instance, hey fatigue is a real symptom. Oh, no, you mentioned P pod. I saw something weird

I don't know anything about some ask you guys if you know anything when we were up in Seattle for packs we When are you you were in the car with me, I think. I was always in the car. We saw that van that said Amazon fresh. Yeah, that was me. Do you know what, what is that? It looked like a produce truck. Yeah.

And had the Amazon logo, like Amazon, it's a fresh and green. Really? Yeah. Don't know. It sounds like a grocery delivery service. I'm just doing grocery delivery up in Seattle. That would make sense. That's where you'd want to do it, probably.

I should look into that. Am I crazy? Why isn't that taken off? I used it once, like, eight years ago in Austin. They all failed. And yeah, that one was gone a couple months ago. Yeah, you mentioned people, I think I used that in Houston when I lived there back in 97 or whatever. Is that just food delivery? Like grocery stuff? Yes, it's pretty big in the UK. People use that all the time.

Oh, really? Yeah, like weight-trose deliver and Tesco direct whatever it's cool I saw a soccer team that had weight-trose on it I didn't know you're I thought it was some independent little grocery store you worked for no big chance It's the upper-class supermarkets of the UK. It's like you like whole foods. Yeah, I guess so well I don't know whole foods concert upper class, but more like expensive expensive fast. This is organic Expensive expensive fast. This is where you need Good old foods for lunch. Do you guys buy like to you guys buy organic stuff? Yeah idea? Nope mind all chemical. I don't eat it if it doesn't come out of a tube

I don't I don't care one way or another you a tin of chicken the other day. It looked and smell like God that's smell so fucking good. I had it I was like you gave me it to try I was like it was genetically You opened it and I thought you had actually opened the can of food to feed the cat Yeah, well the cat the cat for sure did wake up and start like sniffing on me while I was eating it It's good and Joe's the lazy's cat. It's it's it's it's a quick little lunch It's chicken breasts. It's not anything. You're looking at me weird It's you know looking at you eating is like the oldest technology on earth. I'm looking at you weird It's not something so it's male fucking disgusting. I did smell this

Gus it's delicious. You eat vegetables out of a can sometimes don't you me? No smell like that. I don't ever Revechables out of a can. Well, I do that. You know, you know, you can't eat canned food. Are you canned vegetables? I don't eat frozen vegetables. You eat cocavitan Oh My god It's got to get you awesome your favorite brand of headlights fluid comes the can't doesn't it also true Hey 60 minutes at a piece on racism in America and essentially what they did was they dressed a woman up in traditional Middle Eastern Close sure like like what are you talking about a burka? Okay not a burqa, but she was wearing just a head scarf I don't know exactly what you could that garment now

I just wondering if like they gone like all the way to burqa. No, she was wearing just a head scarf and She was at a counter and another paid actor behind the counter refused her service Kind of ridiculously like said hey, I don't I don't protect my customers. You get out of here. I can't serve you while you're wearing that You know, she you know and so the reason why they did this is was to see everyone else's reaction I don't, I like to protect my customers, you get out of here. I can't serve you while you're wearing that. You know, you know, and so the reason why they did this is was to see everyone else's reaction in the store. Sure. And some people were, you know, like right on, buddy, you know, I'm glad to hear somebody saying stuff like that. And that was the first couple that they showed.

I hope they showed those people's faces. They did. Well, they did the first guy and who actually appeared on camera and was talking to them and saying, yeah, I'm going to a problem with it. You can serve whoever he wants to or not serve whoever wants to. I'm proud for him for standing up for what he believes in. And then another guy who was crazy and he just got a car and they blurt his face because they didn't get a release from him or whatever or an implied release, I guess. But then there was a bunch of people as in it, you could draw the line. And I noticed I thought, wow, somebody's feeling like a super rural

and somebody's people are business level and someone looked like just like, kind of people we see around here in Austin, like the younger people who look like they go to college. And it was a really weird, diverse mix of people. And I thought, wow, this is actually really representative of where we are in Austin. It was done at the check stop up in West Texas.

No way. Yeah. And this is for reference. This is halfway between Austin and Dallas. When we drive up there, there's a little bakery called the check stop. But it's about like check us out. Yeah, because there was a lot of immigrants

that ended up there. And they did it in one of those bakeries. Yeah, I think we've talked about the check stop in journals before on the website. Awesome collaches. Awesome collaches. I think they closed the grill down, though. Yeah.

The best ham and cheese sandwich in the world. It's awesome Yeah, but I thought it was really weird because if you want to see what it's like to actually live where we live You can watch this video because there's some older people that are definitely you can tell like the locals from West Texas Who are more rural and then there's like you can tell there's a guy from Dallas wearing a button down Who's on his way back through and then there's just a bunch of people from Austin like young girls and there's just dude who looks a lot like Dan Going there you go fuck you fuck you buddy to the guy behind the counter I'm out of here he flips the guy off and he goes fuck you You're not gonna serve Ron getting out of here, and I thought that looks just like

This would damn would do to yeah, absolutely. We're probably double over the guy's counter Well, I know but I thought it was interesting. That is interesting. Yeah, I wonder why they chose Like if there was a reason why they chose the checkstop, or that location. They had like a real world woman who said she experiences races every day and she was going to college in Texas as well as they said. So they must have been down there to interview her and then they just set up a place that was, I mean, you can, West Texas, this is in the middle of nowhere essentially.

Yeah. It's a little bit north of Waco, you know, which is not exactly, you know, it's not exactly the bread basket of America and Waco Texas. No. And so they set it up there. I'm sure they, you know, they're TV producers.

They're gonna, they wanna get a good sampling and it's different reactions. You know, they're not gonna do that in downtown, you know, Manhattan and hope to get a reaction really right on, buddy. You know, they're not gonna hit that. So. I almost went to college in Waco. Did you? I'm not gonna hit that so I almost went to college in wake Oh, did you you gonna go I almost went to bail her did you really wow, that's the

At least it was when I was in the army. I was stationed in Fort Hood And I had a friend who was dating a girl from wake. Oh, and she was a counselor and according to her She counts those college students Baylor was the anorexia bulimia capital of the hundred states. Yeah, do you know why maybe I should have gone Do you know why religious cults end up in Waco? Why? It is I feel like it's a joke. No, it is the only city in the Western hemisphere on the same Longitude is a latitude longitude goes cross latitude latitude latitude as Jerusalem that has a river running through it

Huh are you playing doodle jump maybe during the podcast come on? I was trying to beat your score. You fucking I'm listening Is that one of those things why you can you can play mindlessly? That's really interesting I'm gonna have to fact check that but that's what I was told That's why a lot of people end up a lot check that. But that's what I was told. That's why a lot of people end up a lot of a lot of real people end up there because it's considered to be a Jerusalem of the Western hemisphere.

Man, it is like a mini Utah there too. Like every single person in Waco's blonde to at least around the college. Yeah. It's nuts. Yeah, I went on a tour there and it's an interesting place. Yeah, interesting place. No, I used to try to go there and they it was it's it's it's it's an interesting place. Yeah, interesting place Don't worry like I used to try to go there and pick up girls, you know because I was

1920 and single and I was about 40 minutes away from wake-o It was closer to go to wake up and go to Austin. I have never had less success in my life I'm not the kind of guy those ladies are looking for I believe it. You're not the kind of guy any ladies looking for Jeffy always get hit on by a bunch of guys too. You got it. I hit on my guy at Wico I did yeah It was the first time that it ever happened to me at a dinny's a guy offered me a thousand dollars to have sex with him His buddy how was it? Well, we're just been the money on I'm much I need to do tires on my truck. I was very flattered, you know, so how did he present that to you?

he uh, God, it's a long time ago, but he um He uh, he was just like he was kind of like an effeminate dude and he was really friendly and I actually found Waco to be a very unfriendly place, you know because I was just like gruff Disgusting punk kid and I just got a lot of dirty looks and stuff and he just came up and started talking to me He was a waiter and so I was talking to him and then he got into this whole thing about how people think he's gay and he gets like a lot of Discrimination in Waco, but he's not. He just is really yeah and he's like what do you think about this isn't that crazy? I can totally tell the guy was you know

fishing. Fishing yeah and but he was really nice and then at some point he asked for my phone number and I gave him my phone number I was like yeah why not he seems like a nice guy and and then by the end he was like the other day do you check this this is crazy the other day somebody somebody came in here and offered me a thousand dollars to have sex with with him and another dude that's crazy right and I was like yeah it's pretty crazy he was like would you ever do something like that I go whatever do something like what he goes have sex with me and another man would you ever do something like that and I was like is this a he was like a thousand dollars and I was like I not, but I really appreciate that they offer. Thank you. God.

It was the longest experience at Denny's I've ever had. How was the Grand Slam? It was a good taste of like cock. You asked me if I would have sex with dot common grids from 30 rock. If it meant I got to have sex with Surrey after. He says I did. And you said yes? Yeah, definitely.

Yeah. Definitely. It's hard to say no to that. All right, is there anything else you want to talk about before we wrap it up here? I think so. This fact might be right. I'm looking at my little Google Maps here,

looking at Israel and looking at Wakeo. And it's right there. That's interesting. It's on the same latitude. So the only place on the planet that's on the same latitude that has a river running through it. City. City.

From what I understand. That's what I was told and this was around the time the David Kuresh was okay whack it you going crazy into it stuff all right well I guess on that note we'll wrap it up we're gonna end on David Kuresh on what a bizarre podcast yeah we've been all over the place but I feel like we've all grown a bit and learned and I'm glad we were able to share the experience I think it's a bring up Gary Condon I was gonna bring up Gary Condon with the whole discussion of Roman Oh man David Letterman

Gavin, do you know who David Condon is? I don't Do you know? I remember what Gary Condon was in trouble for no Gary Condon was you know Chandra Levy remember that name oh yeah Chandra Levy yeah. Yeah, he had a aid. He was a congressman He had an aid who apparently he had an affair with and she died and she went missing. She went missing and she was presumed dead and they ended up finding her remains in a park in Washington DC. He was the primary suspect for a congressman who was accused essentially of killing his aide and having an affair with her. Well, the other way around. Yeah, having an affair and then killing her. And it was a huge deal. It was all anybody could talk about. And then that was, I think, that was around September 9th, 2001. Oh,

wow. And then the September 11th incident happened and you never heard about Gary. He stayed in office. Really? He was voted out in 2003. You didn't do it. No, he didn't do it. They well, they they're not within the past year, they've started realizing that it wasn't him that someone else confessed to it in jail. Huh. Well, he confessed to killing older people in the park. So now that guy's the primary suspect. Right.

But I would never go to a park in America. People just didn't pay attention to that. It literally went away. Like, it was front page everywhere. And as soon as 9-11 has never heard about Gary He was never accused either. He was never actually accused of crime. Here's a more recent example of that Fairfawcett died. Yeah, and then MJ and then MJ died like three hours later. Well, she doesn't get to live Yeah, but no, that's like nobody remembers that now

But that was probably a shitload of stuff that happened two weeks off to 9.11 that nobody knows about Yeah, wasn't there an explosion in France that killed a lot of people. There was a plane crash in New York. Yeah, another plane crashed in Queens. Like, into an apartment building. It was a month after 9-11. Nobody ever talks about that. Yeah.

Nobody. That's like the last major airline disaster in the US. Is that airline crashing? There really hasn't been anything major. That dude, Schnellenberger, whatever his his name was he saved us from our big streak We had go. Oh, yeah, yeah, of no major some commuter planes go down and stuff like that But a major airline hasn't crashed now. I'm getting on a plane. Why am I fucking talking about this? That's why I'm done air disaster com. All right
