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

Twisted metal, streaming now, only on Peacock. Oh no! It's the drunk. And thanks. Paaardcast. The drunk tank podcast. I love the our latest podcast. I guess so. That was awesome.

I always love that cartoon. I was a kid. I'm glad we're associated with a project that's somewhat very similar to it. Man, so this has to go down as the podcast that took the longest to get started in history. Yeah, I think it's right up there. It must have taken us. We had as soon as we were ready to start, we started to hear noises, bizarre noises. And it took us like 30 minutes to kill all the noise bugs. Yeah, normally it's not a big deal with Jesus. Even the air conditioner was acting up today. Yeah. Did you guys have are ghost here, don't you?

That's a that's the rumor. Yeah, that we have a ghost. If you haven't noticed we have a special guest today. That's a girl. I'm the special guest. Who are you? I'm Griffin Ramsey. I'm Jeff Ramsey. Are y'all related? Maybe actually Part of the different family lives in Oregon. I think so it's possible we might be related. Third cousins. Yeah. I'm okay with that. That's fine. Also we do it sometimes. Classy. No there's nothing classy about it. So yeah supposedly have you seen a go I've never seen a ghost or anything weird up here. I have I have something that happens to me that doesn't happen to anyone else and but that I'll get into that in a minute. The main thing that people complain about is when you're here late at night, that you hear people walking in the hallway and you hear doors open and closed. And if you're sitting in that chair right there where you are, like editing, you'll, there'll be somebody, somebody will come into the room

and stand there and you'll be like, Hey, there's nobody here. What the, oh shit. But the thing that happens to me is that if I walk in the back door At certain times like super early in the morning or super late at night. I smell men's clone right in that little hall Nobody else smells it and it's really weird. Well, I see why I've never encountered the ghost one you have to be here late at night Or two you have to be editing I've never encountered the ghost. Yeah, you're safe. I'm totally safe. It goes maybe on the ghost. You keep your bankers hours and you'll be just fine. I like how the ghost only puts a loan on for you though. Yeah, I don't know what it is, but it's really bizarre. Maybe it's like some some old long dead cowboy who's trying to impress you. It's like a yeah, it's kind of it's kind of weird. It's like I've never smelled that kind of cologne before. Not

that I'm a connoisseur of cologne. A cologne assure, but it definitely smells like old-timey. Isn't the building we're in pretty old? Yeah, this building's like 150 years old or so. I don't think it's that old, didn't you? You found out they were the original date it was built in. Yeah, I don't remember what it was though. I was hoping you'd do it. It was like 1900s. Oh, okay.

Like early, maybe like 1905 or something. I think that's what you told me because I was guessing late 1800s. Yeah, well, that's still pretty old. It's still over 100 years. It's still like 150 years old. Wait, no, that's not true. It's 150 Alabama years. I'm just as bad at math as you are, so it's hard for me to dispute that, but it doesn't sound right. It's like 104 years. Okay. Jesus, that's a long term. So hey, Gus, what's up? Actually, this morning I read,

you might be very interested to hear this, that Lefforded 2 supposedly, there's a rumor going around that they might get Avatar Awards. Yeah, I read that same thing. I think that'd be pretty cool. The idea of the Avatar Award isn't something that I see myself getting into, but I think it's kind of a cool idea. And so far it hasn't really been flushed out.

It was kind of announced and they said, explosion man will be the first game to have the Avatar Awards. And then I think just yesterday that actually happened. Right, yeah, that's true. We'd been waiting around for like two or three months for that to happen. And there's no way in hell I'm gonna go back and play Splosion Man anymore. But they did two cool things. They announced they released four Avatar shirts you can get. And I think you get one for like it's as easy as busting out a pane of glass, which if you've played Splosion Man, you know,

it was basically just like walking four feet, and you run into glass everywhere. And the other one is to like, the hardest one to get is to like beat the game on co-op. You know, I never played explosion men. I might go back and play it now. See, this is the thing I always talk about. You wouldn't like it. It's a platformer. Yeah, yeah.

You wouldn't, I mean, it's kind of a unique take on a platformer, so it's kind of interesting. You basically, instead of jump, you explode, you explode jump. We figured out the guys who developed better here in Austin right yeah yeah the same dudes it did the maw I think right yeah they're behind the chucky cheese on bin white they're like bandester or whatever yeah twisted pixel I think they're called the oh I met those guys one night did you wait is this a story

I should be here no we went to that that party it was like a game party last year was it South by Southwest? Somehow connected. Some sort of, yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah, at Mohawk. Yeah. And then we were mingling and I think we talked to them. Were they nice guys? It seemed nice.

Did any of them try to put it in you? No. Don't worry, we have the explicit tag on our podcast, so we can talk about anything. I actually felt really safe at that little party. Like, nobody would make eye contact. It wasn't like I didn't feel threatened much of awkward video game nerds yeah well that's that's comforting that's the only place we're hanging out from here right one thing I don't understand about the left for two left for dead two

avatar awards though is one of the awards you can get supposedly of course is all rumor one of the rumor things you get is a depech mode shirt really yeah well maybe there's a some sort of a depech mode tie in the leopard head too. I don't know. And the rumors you earn it by rescuing Nome Chomsky from Dark Carnival. Yeah, Nome Chomsky, I read about that,

is supposedly in there somewhere, which would make sense. Not like to do that kind of stuff. Nome Chomsky Griffin, for you might not know this, but in the orange box, which is the Xbox version of Half-Life 2. Yeah, Half-Life 2 episode 1 and 2, Team Fortress and the portal, which you like. Yeah, I'm really orange box. There's a little gnome, they call them gnome chomsky, the beginning of Half-Life 2, right?

Episode 2. Episode 2, Episode 2. He's just like a little garden gnome and you can pick him up. And there's an achievement to put him in a cannon and fire the cannon into the sky But I thought it was a rocket a rocket something like that It's at the that but that rocket slash cannon is at the very end of the game So you have to carry this little gnome with you through the entire game I think I remember you got when you and gav you gav and you did it together. I've got it. I don't have it

Bernie got it too Bernie got it. Yeah. I'll do it someday Sure you will anyway. That's pretty cool Speaking of other cool and interesting tie-ins, maybe personal Jesus is like the theme song for Lephora 2 or something. Maybe I guess we'll find out. I guess we will. Next one. You know, the Lephora 2 commercial that we made, or I guess that Burnie made.

Burnie made. Burnie a mat made. Finally, finally hit the airwaves. It's a very cool commercial. Yeah, Valve even sent out a big press release about it You know, not mentioning us at all. Yeah, we're never We're never the dimension, but well, you know to be fair We didn't write it or anything. We were just like the cinematographers for the DPs still still and editors

But still yeah, no, we were all over that that commercial has our stink all over it Oh, yeah, I was surprised I think Joyce to keep in rama like a I'm news post about it. Yeah, they did. And that's the for those who are looking for that's the home run commercial, I think it's called. Right, and the one that advertises you get a free baseball bat. Yeah. If you pre-order from GameStop. Which I hear the people that didn't pre-order from GameStop, or other stores are now

annoyed. But they're not going to get their baseball bat. Well, this GameStop's thing now, right? It seems like that's how they're trying to battle digital distribution. You pre-order from them from brick and mortar store and you get something extra in the game. Oh, I keep forgetting. But I want to go back to Twisted Pixel for a second. They announced yesterday when they announced that avatar stuff,

that they're doing an interesting promotion. I guess if you download a special avatar or like a special gamer pick and set it as your gamer pick and then play multiplayer games, you have a chance to win free Omaha stakes. If you get selected, then Omaha stakes will send you a stake in the mail. Do you know if you want or do you just get me to the meal? I don't know what the criteria is. You just get home and put your middle box in the T-bone. Yeah. And the reason that that makes sense is when if you kill a scientist in the game, like you're like the explosion man is like a science experiment.

And he's like trying to escape and he's blowing up scientists. And the scientists turn into sides of beef for some reason, like tea bones and stuff. There's still people that get their meat by mail, I think. Right, we had a, we had a meat dude come by the house the other day. You would have been super excited but unfortunately I was home.

He drove up in the truck with the little meat freezer in the back and was like, hey dude, my boss says I gotta get rid of all these steaks. They're normally $60 and I was like, I'm vegetarian says I got to get rid of these all these steaks to normally sixty dollars and I was like I'm vegetarian. I bought steaks from a dude like that once at a gas station I'm like mo pack and breakers. I can't trust I can't trust. It was really fucking good wasn't gonna say that. I mean of course it's a whole scam it's all oh my boss has I got to get rid of this. No fuck that. It's just

like selling speakers. Yeah don't don't feed me the line but the food was really good. I would actually rather not have the line I don't want to hear that your boss wants to get rid of much of me I mean what is that? What is that? I tell you about it. I got too much meat There's no room in the warehouse for all this meat if you go to the grocery store like I was at fiesta the other day And I bought like one of those cherry pies like in the bag You don't talk about like this is bearish one? Yeah, yeah But it wasn't this is bears. It was some company never heard of and it was like say on it was only like 38 cents

I bought it and then I looked down and the expiration date was Like to the next day which you know I was still within the deadline But with those things you know still the shelf forever and it was the last day. How did it taste? It didn't taste good No, it wasn't like this is very the knowledge. I didn't know the sugar coating You mean a pie that cost less than a postage stamp wasn't good? Fun that hard to believe but anyway, they put it at the front of the building. And like, if somebody's saying, I gotta get rid of this, then you should usually, you should worry about expiration dates.

Yeah. Well, I don't know who this meat guy is, but I gotta say, delicious steak. He was annoyed with me because I only bought steaks for meat. Like, he was like, don't you want to buy more? I was like, listen, dude, I live by myself in a apartment. It was obviously years ago before I was married. I was like, I can only eat so much beef. That's married. I was like, I can only eat so much beef. That's a quote of the day. I can only eat so much beef. I had a freezer filled with steaks for like two months.

How'd you cook them? I don't remember. You probably boiled them. I probably boiled them, yeah. Yeah, because I don't think you had a grill or anything. No, no, no, no. That was the apartment up by the arboretum. Like fucking years ago. That was my least favorite of the apartments that I've had to endure. We both have had annoying problems in our, that we've forced our friends to deal with through the course of this like 11 year romantic friendship we've had.

And the one thing that drives me crazy is that for the longest time, thank God you bought a house and it's two blocks from me. Then we can walk to see each other. We're not worried about drunk driving anymore. But for the longest time, you moved. I know it wasn't this frequent, but it felt like you moved every six months. And you insisted on moving to a different part of town every time.

Hey, and it was like how far can I get away from Jeff? I wonder if I can sample the city, man. Yeah, it's not my fault. It's not my fault. I want to enjoy everything Austin has to offer. How did the Arboretum taste? Not that good. Yeah. It wasn't that great. It tastes like 20 minutes from downtown. Yeah, it wasn't that bad. It's horrible

It's a long time ago anyway. Thank you for buying a house. Yeah, it's settling down Because you're wandering ways where man one day that house will be done and one day we'll have a house where I'm part of When Jeff when you just moved into the neighborhood Jeff told me this is gonna be great because we can fight Finally, you know how I wanted like us now be on the front porch when we're old guys complaining about the neighbors I'm like, well, where what do I come in? It's great that you and Gus move so close you live in this scenario you left 30 years ago. Okay I think that times coming up pretty soon Now that guess is well, you know, we never see you and that's the thing that's crazy

I'm like, oh, they're like we'll see them all the time and we never see you well, I've been dealing with getting my house finished. They're still settling in I Called my contractor 21 times yesterday Also, I can never return to one call Also, I'd like in Gus's defense. I'd like to point out they came over Sunday night. Oh, that's right. That's right. That's true Shit we watched we previewed the red versus blue recreation DVD Yeah, we did and in addition to that they're coming over tomorrow night for D&D So apparently you just got served but who who decided it was Thursday night? Frank sent that email. Didn't you get it? Yeah, I got it

But I already told everyone I cannot do Thursday night. Well, should you reply to the email? I did reply to the email Well, I did see it. Well, I must have just replied to him. Oh, that's not very handy. No Yeah, well, I mean, I think the reason we didn't do Tuesday this week is because we were testing the DVD and working late. Makes sense. Incidentally, we just sent off the Red versus Blue Recreation and the RT shorts DVD to be manufactured. Literally, like 15 minutes ago.

Yeah, like we were waiting for that to send that DVD off. And as soon as it was done, we started recording the podcast. That is such a scary process doing that. Like, you and I were literally testing the DVD on in the back room here as the guy was walking in and he's like I'm here to pick up the DVD and we're like hold on let us just try one more chapter one more sit down what do you want to watch with me? I get to see some water I get a test button navigation that those I wonder I don't know what the process is for like a big distributor like say or like a big production company like a universal or you know

Warner Brothers, I don't know what their DVD testing process is, but I can't imagine it's as intensive as ours. Yeah, we're really thorough What it's you know, and we we discovered things we'd never seen before yeah, it's like the new Valhalla cough I don't know what the fuck was that? I don't know can we talk about that? I don't know what the fuck was that I don't know can we talk about that? I don't know Jesus we discovered some weird audio in our background audio. Yeah, we've never heard and never heard and came up all of a sudden We fixed it for the DVD though. Yeah, we did and let that and let's just leave it at that So when when will the DVD be ready? Do you know? I Three or four weeks or I was told that the DVD would arrive

On or about November 20th and that we will be able to start shipping them some of them on the 20th but most of them on the 23rd and that's the note I put on the pre-order in the store. That's great. On the 23rd. Just in time for Black Friday. Yeah, let's go on day. Yeah, we have to get in there for that and then the book will be shortly after that

and I think the Trockett Aero CD gets in right around the same time. That's awesome. We've got a lot of products hitting all at once. I'll just in time for the holidays. We're dropping it like it's hot. Yeah. Four times. I like to do a cover for the trucker's CD.

Oh yeah. It's pretty cool. It's cool. I can't wait to see it in person. Supposedly it's got like a UV coating. Like a UV coating and it's got some kind of foil thing on it. Yeah. It's supposed to be really fancy.

Supposed to be. We'll see. There's never syringe in the spine. Griven's making a joke. I actually had a live album from this band, Gunner Mouth, a long time ago, it was a punk band. And to promote their album, they put an actual syringe in the spine of the CD.

Nice. And they got shut down really quickly. And so I have one of like a couple hundred that made it out. Why would they get shut down? Because they were distributing drug paraphernalia. It's a syringe, maybe if you fuck people they're diabetic. Yeah, I don't know. This is for the diabetic audience.

Only if you're diabetic. But the album is called Live at the Pharmacy. And if you happen to have one with a syringe in it, you have a very rare CD indeed. I-I-I-maybe that's what I-I've heard diabetics refer to as gutter mouths. Right? It's only... All the time. Yeah, I mean, oh god fucking narks

Shutting down the band you've been a really messy today like I walk in and like us just like a storm walking It's like in like Christmas. What does that Christmas story? Let me be from the 80s It's like the dad in the background where you can't even understand the words anymore like Kristen's story, the movie from the 80s. It's like the dad in the background where you can't even understand the words anymore. I'm like, Gus is fighting with the boiler maker. No, no, no, no, no. No, it's not just today though, Griffin.

Gus has been, I think what it is, Bernie and I were actually talking about this the other day. Oh great. I think what it is, Gus used to be an asshole. And then he, he lightened up. I don't know, he became like kind of a fun-loving for Gus, kind of guy, in the sense that he didn't He wasn't like actively thinking of ways to murder

Constantly and then this the last like two months or so He's just been a return to form and I think it's because a the honeymoon's over in your marriage Let's be honest You guys have been married for a couple years now. I know what that's like and And V you own a house. It's a house that's killing me. Yeah. You have this vision of, I'm gonna, you know, my home is my castle and I'm gonna have this house and then I won't have to pay rent to anybody and it'll be my own place. And if I want to kick a hole in the wall, I can do that and if I want to paint an ugly color, I can do that.

And everything will be good because I'll be, I have this sense of permanence. And then you find that it's just a money pit, a money and Created if only it would if I had sighting Sighting on my house and as soon as that's done and as soon as I have like a complete house Inside's good also Luckily it has now become the rainy season in Austin out of the blue We've had like we had like nine inches of rain last week and then we had a couple inches of rain earlier this week And you don't have sighting You just have exposed wires you've got a roof. You should really be looking on the bright side here. I do have a roof. Except that when it gets kind of windy and sometimes the rain goes sideways.

I got what you all have a I have a metal roof and I know you all have a metal roof as well. The night before last night I got woken up at 4.30 in the morning by the loudest fucking bang I've ever heard in my life. I thought a burglar had fallen like a tree on my house It was like and I went and I looked in this huge branch and fallen out of a tree and was like hit the hit my roof We have some I'm gonna let you know right now. We have some feeble branches in our neighborhood Yeah, every storm is like we can't even go down half the rows under There was there was anyone to storm it was just like a whole nine. It doesn't take much Yeah, there must have been a squirrel must have sneezed in the tree or something fucking branches go flying

Yeah, the chair would community has weak trees. That's our downfall What are you gonna do but enough about our neighborhood? Yeah, I'm sure everyone's fucking enthralled to hear about our neighborhood. Hey, let me ask you question Are you gonna buy we just found out you showed it to me yesterday that the wireless power What do you call it like pad the power mat power mat is out. Are you gonna buy we just found out you showed it to me yesterday that the wireless power what do you call it like pad the power mat power mat is out are you gonna buy one you know I don't know I like the idea of the power mat and It's cool that it's out there. I think the execution. I think this initial model not that great Are you unhappy that you have to put like a device on your on your products?

Well, yeah, yeah, I mean I I like, you know, I would be used it ideally for my iPhone and for like a DS. I don't even use my DS. I get just my iPhone. And normally you don't, you have a case around my iPhone, but to use the power met, you would have to put a case around it. Yeah, I'm not crazy about that. I'm looking at it right now on their website. It's also a little pricey. I'm not too happy about that either. By the way, are we the laziest people on the planet that we will pay a hundred dollars to buy a mat that we can stick our iPod on just so we don't have to plug it in? No, you know, I've only

ever dropped my iPhone once and that's because it rang late at night and I was asleep and the power cord got caught on my nightstand and it you know as a result it fell out of my hand and fell out of the floor. So this is a safety issue. This is anything. Yeah, this is protect because I don't have a cover on my phone. Yeah, you know, I've I dropped mine like three times today. It's true She did that was her kick it out of the car. I've actually broke it I have a I've got a little rocket like I can't use the head like headphones on it I have a little rock that's stuck in there Oh Jesus like a little piece of gravel and I can't get it out and then I broke the button on the sound

So I can't I can't mute it anymore Wow, but it's still working and I don't I don't want to jinx it so. When you said that Griffin kicked the iPhone, I remember thinking that scene in Blair Witch Project. I think that map into the fucking room. I can't do the fucking room. That was useless. One of the favorite scenes in any movie. Are you guys gonna get a power map? No.

I might buy one. I might let the company buy me one to test it for the podcast. You know, if the power map corporation was willing to was wanting to send No, I might buy one. I might let the company buy me one to test it for the podcast You know if the power map corporation was willing to was wanting to send us one I'm gladly use it. It's true. Aren't we like that one of the most popular podcasts in the world? Yeah Yeah, I could use one of those in my mazerotti. It's right. We're like the next Ricky Jerese I can only dream hey speaking a Ricky Jerese. Let's not talk about podcasts that are better than ours Oh now I can only dream hey, speak it a Ricky. Let's not talk about podcasts that are better than ours Now So we can't talk about any podcast no, no, we just can't talk about any

Only the ones that are better this there's like two or three we can talk about is that you yeah? Did you know I do trust me? I've been spending a lot of time we can talk about like farmers all maniac weekly I spent a lot of time looking at podcasts on iTunes trying to figure out what people do. How we do things differently. But if we're not going to talk about Ricky Dervace, we can talk about Seth McFarland. Okay, let's talk about Seth McFarland. And we can talk about how Microsoft backed out of the Family Guy Windows 7 episode. That's very interesting. I like that Microsoft backed out of the Family Guy Windows 7 episode because they sat down and actually watched Family Guy.

Do you think that's actually true? I don't know if that's a true story or not. I really don't know. But I thought it was a weird promotion to begin with. And like when I first heard about it, I was like... Supposedly, that article I read... I guess we should explain what you can love. The old thing is. Yeah, sure, go ahead.

I guess there was supposed to be like a special half hour addition of family guy that only like that had no commercials because it was entirely promoted by Windows 7 and the whole half hour special was going to promote with the launch of Windows 7. So this was going to happen in November, but apparently it just got canned two days ago. So my Microsoft was a big component of this episode. They were a big player in it. So without them, there's not a lot of advertising. Yeah.

So do you think they'll find a new, like, let me ask you this. Do you think the family guy, family guy's created Taylor in an episode for this? Or do you think they just took an episode whatever was going to come out and then let Microsoft sponsor it? No, I think they, they tailored one for it. So this would be like an episode. Well, I don't know, but I thought, because I, I, I, I, I, I, maybe I'll have to look, I'll have to one for it. So this would be like an excellent deal?

I don't know, but I thought it was going to be like a special edition that was tailored to promoting Windows 7. It's interesting. I wonder if that video will ever be seen in any form then. But the thing I read about it, and you can link that article, is that I guess some people from Microsoft went to something called like Seth McFarland's live comedy show. Yeah Seth and Alex is almost live comedy show. Yeah whatever the hell that is and we're not pleased by all the talk of Neckrofilia. Yeah I guess they I guess you have the taping in

Kurt on October 16th and that's when they went to it. So they didn't actually want comedy. They're like, this is not for us. We're out. Yeah. Yeah. We probably wouldn't be very good sponsors either. By your tongue, sir. I mean, we'd be the best sponsors in the world. Yeah. We don't talk about necrophilia anymore as of this moment. You know, we got a new we have a new computer with Windows 7 coming in. Hopefully, sometime later this week or really next week. I'm excited to check it out. Me too.

I really am. I've heard nothing but good stuff about Windows 7. Can't say anymore until I've actually used it, but I'm excited to go ahead. Yeah. Do you think it could potentially sway you from being a Mac user, back to a PC user? Uh, we'll see. Fuck it, right? I'm gonna change these and happen. I use whatever's best.

Can you hear people talking? Yeah. What is that that for people talking outside? Oh, that's weird. We're not in a soundproof booth You know, I've heard it on my headphones. No, no He's got it just like goes whispering Did you smell the color and all of a sudden? You know, Griffin is complaining about cold spots. Yeah, it's true. It's like right on this leg Um, is that a sign of a ghost? You know, we sign of a ghost? You know, we've had ghosts that happen in our house. It's like the season We only have it in the fall winter. He's like but Jeff got hit in the back the other day

The ghost the ghost hit you goes. Oh fuck. That's right. It happened. Yeah. I got woken up at like Four in the morning somebody slapped me on the back and I thought it was Griffin like on the ass or no I'm the shoulder and I thought it was Griffin and I on the ass or on the shoulder. No, like on the shoulder. And I thought it was Griffin and I turned over and she was facing the other way. And I was like, I can still feel it after I woke up and I was like, I was jarring by it. I was like, why the fuck would you hit me away?

You know, just shake me. And there was nobody there. You're a sleep slapper. But then you woke up later too. And then later on at like 6.30, Griffin woke me up by saying, hey, hey, hey, and I turned over and she was totally out Hmm fucked up you and Millie talking your sleep. Yeah, that's true. Yeah You know, I I lived that you'll visit one of my apartments and I lived over there on infield that that was pretty haunted also

Yeah, yeah, I think I had a bunch of small things happen But the most freaky thing that ever happened is I had one of those old-timey alarm clocks with two bells on the top I remember this you know I had like the little hammer that went back and forth between them and one day like at three in the morning I heard a bell ring I opened my eyes and I was all groggy and I looked at my alarm clock and the hammer started slowly moving back and forth between the bells We're like ding ding ding ding ding ding ding That's fucked up, see? I fucking took the batteries out of that clock and like threw it in the attic Didn't you have the... Speaking of your attic, um... You had the Jew on house Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding the day. Didn't you have weird thing too with like people like yeah was it a toilet paper issue?

You know what I'm talking about? Yeah you fucking put toilet paper on my door. Oh did I? Yeah. Oh was that me? I remember the answer that I don't remember doing it. You're so convinced that you're gonna remember doing it. You're so committed to the lie. What did I put on it? We're watching you poop or something. And you like put that roller toilet paper on my door? That's awesome. Y'all are funny. Oh, and you said that your wife saw some like shadows or something right? Yeah. And I would come home and my TV would be on sometimes.

Well, that could have been the cat wanting to watch TV. The cat could turn on the stereo system. He always had trouble with the TV though Beyond his little kitty paws And that's why he had to die. Yeah, and now he's dead. Hey, are you a girl? You don't have a PS3 I was in the one here at the office, right? I have this PS3 on my desk. Yes, but you don't have one at home. No, I don't have one at home I wonder if I'm doing one excited about Netflix on the PS3. Are you really excited about it?

Yeah, I like having options. Why? You're like having the same option on your PS3 as you have on your Xbox. It's in the same place of the same TV. Why not? I guess it's like I have three TVs in my stand. You have two rooms. I also have three wireless access points. My house is fucking covered. So let's talk about that PS3 thing. They just announced that next month, they're going to add Netflix integration to the PS3.

But I guess I'm trying to, I'm reading through the lines here, because I remember Microsoft had some sort of an exclusive agreement with Netflix to put it in marketplace and to stream movies to the Xbox. And then lo and behold, here comes the PS3 announcement. And I guess there's, and I can be wrong, but it seems to me they're circumventing

whatever this exclusivity agreement is by forcing PS3 users to own a disk. Yeah, well, they'll give you the disk. I mean, that seems weird to me. You have to have the disk in the PS3 to be able to use the Netflix service. You can install it. Yeah, that's the thing. From a consumer perspective, I don't like the fact that I would have to have a disk in there.

Like, I'll have to go and swap disks out if I want to, you know, stream Netflix. And then, as a person, I don't like the fact that they're like trying to score out of an exclusivity deal. Yeah, it's kind of like a fuck you to Microsoft. Yeah. And then it's just like another example, and this is maybe my bias talking, but it seems like another example of Sony getting a service that Microsoft has, but in a clergy or not as elegant way. Yeah.

And it's like, and just. I'm excited to try it. I already requested my free PlayStation 3 disc. Oh, did you? I hear it shipping November. Yeah, it's just weird. I wonder if the disc is going to spin and make a lot of noise. Oh, the PS3 is pretty quiet though, compared to the 360.

Yeah, I guess that's true. I'll let you know when I get it. All right, cool. And it's going to have the exact same movies and the exact same options. Like you'll be able to manage your Q from like a few, like a hundred videos that they have posted and all that stuff.

Well, and another thing, another reason this makes me excited is maybe we'll see more Sony pictures or Columbia pictures movies showing up on Netflix now that Sony. That is a great idea. Now the question is, will they show up across all of Netflix? Will they get to be on Microsoft on Xbox as well? And we'll see. Yeah.

I don't know. Hopefully. I'd hate for it to be fractured like that. It might be that. I would too, but you know, we'll see you know Gav was talking to me yesterday. They also launched that sky service in the UK. Oh, yes. I'm doing that in Xbox live Yeah, he has a He was able because like his his family subscribes to Si

Scott's side sky to sky and so they have like all the pay-per-view and all the sports packages and all that and he was able to like enter in a code I guess and he unlocked all that stuff on his Xbox so he can like watch He watch any like this is a big deal if you're British and you don't care about real sports He could watch like any soccer game From the season like just stream like they have every game of the season like he's a big fan of Tottenham Could he watch like does it like could you watch old games or is it just like? Yeah he can watch old games like he can go that season be like I don't want to watch game 4 I never got to see Tottenham and you know fucking Manu or whatever Newcastle so I'm gonna watch that game and he can also stream so you can see current games Tottenham lose any game any any any game they want to lose season you can watch wow yeah and uh

he said the only downside is that I don't think it's HD but he was like he said it's basically like watching any television program. He has available to him in England on his Xbox That's pretty cool. I wish it was HD, but Why do we have that shit here? I know right? It sounds cooler than what we have yeah, we don't have shit I know it's fucked up What we do have though is I got into that preview program for the new NXC or the NNXC the NNXC in NNXC and preview program for the new NXC, the NNXC, the NNXC, and I got to test out that zoom video marketplace, and I showed it to you. That is pretty impressive. 1080p streaming. It starts instantly. That's the most impressed with. But by instantly, it's like five seconds. Yeah, that's pretty. But it doesn't, like,

at least we have a shooting in the next. That's faster than instant top ramen. It is faster than instant top ramen. That's a very good, that's a way to put it in. That's the way I'm going to gauge all time in my life now. This versus instant top ramen prepare preparation time. Well, in that case it blows it away. Yeah. But yeah, it was like streaming 1080p and it was awesome. It looked really good. You bought or yeah, you bought crank 2. Yeah, well, there was a, I couldn't find that many 1080p videos on there and crank 2 was like the newest one I could find It was an interesting intro it looked like a 8-bit video game fight sequence

Yeah, it did was during the credit sequence at the very beginning of the movie. I also I had not actually I got the last FM stuff because that's just doesn't interest me really. Yeah, the Twitter thing seemed kind of like whatever I don't know. Yeah, I'm not a big Twitter fan anymore Yeah, I couldn't see myself using that But the Facebook app was pretty cool. The Facebook app is better on the Xbox and it is on the computer Yeah, it was faster. It was it was a lot faster Facebook's a slow website. Yeah, trust me I know a thing or two about slow website How many didn't you discover how many servers they have at Facebook? They have 30,000 servers

She's running space books. How many servers do you get servering this time? Just 300. We have like nine that run Ristrate. It's a complicated system. So we can run Ristrate just as slow on nine servers as they can on their own. In your Facebook. Oh, that reminds me.

I don't know if I talk about this in the podcast. I bought the domain and your face is a book.com, which is probably only funny to us. I'm going to, I think I'm going to redirect that to be like, to go to my Facebook profile, if you go to your Faces of Book.com, it'll go to me. That doesn't exist yet, but maybe I'll do that. You should do it by the time this podcast comes up. No, I got to make the podcast for us. Maybe, maybe by the next podcast.

All right, I'm going to hold you to that. I want to see it. No, then that would be my face as a book.com. And I don't own that, so don't bother to do that. You and I have a long history of buying stupid domain names. I think I own about 15 right now. I think I own about 15 also. And it all started.

The first dumb domain name I can never remember us owning was you owned Show Me The Monkey.com. That was the first domain I ever bought. It was. It was right around the time during a choir was popular Like, he'll show me the money thing and you made show me the monkey and then that got lampooned in another movie later And we were pissed off about it. Do you remember that was a Brendan Frazier movie and he had something to do with him in a monkey Oh, yeah monkey pills or Yeah, yeah, yeah, and in the trailer he goes show me the monkey and you and I were both like mother fucker

How did that guy like he's pretty good looking. And he's reasonably talented. I don't know why he was in, I mean he always got these dumb movies and he does, he's, He was in the mummy movies, a little bit popular. Yeah, that's, but that's like the highlight of his career. I was like dorge of the jungle. Like, what is that one where he's like,

he's in a bombshell turn, he comes out. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. That's similar concept. Yeah, I know the movie you're talking about. Oh, blast from the past. Yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no's true. Well, yeah, I guess we do now. So he's doing something right. Hats off to you, Brendan Frazier. And he was in Brain Candy, which is awesome. Oh, that's true. Brendan Frazier, I know you're listening. If you want to be on the podcast, just let me know. If you're Brendan, as an aside, if you know Dina Meyer, and you're putting a good word for me, I would appreciate it. You think we know each other? Everybody Hollywood knows each other. I guess that's true.

And they're probably probably the same level of Biting your tongue. What? Fratias Waving. Yeah, way more famous than Dino Meyer today. Yeah, he just had a money movie come out last year Hmm. I bet Dean of Meyer had a movie come out last year too I didn't fucking moment. I might have even been theatrical It wasn't a movie with Rachel Wise and Jet Lee. I guess not. Oh yeah, Jet Lee's a big star these days. Oh.

Didn't he, didn't Jet Lee get hurt and then we can't do action movies anymore? I don't know. That's something like that, right? I read that somewhere. He did that movie about fighting in Hong Kong or something. That was his last fighting movie apparently. Until Mummy 3. He was a mummy. You didn't have to fight. You just had to shamble around a little movie apparently? Until Mummy 3. He was a mummy.

You didn't have to fight. You just had to shamble around a little. Did you see Mummy 3? No, I did not. No. That's all the first two, they were alright. I said I liked him. Yeah, I did.

We're gonna be mummy this year for Halloween. Are you? It's true. The three of us. That sounds fun. I'm actually should be making that right now, but I'm here. Also, I should be writing the comic. How are you gonna do that to toilet paper mummies?

No, no, no, I'm gonna put some work into it. It's gonna look good in all post pictures. That's cool. I'm not, I'm going to discuss this here again. Do you still have you, do you need to get a costume? About what costume? You had a costume for the basket, like the big lastki. Oh man, that probably don't have that anymore. Who did you go at?

You went as a Walter. Walter, there you go. No, no, no, I'm like a Walter. You must have been the world's skinniest Walter. I was. But you know what? Might have been the world's angriest Walter. Walter, there you go. No, I've not. I've not. You must be the world's skinniest Walter. I was. But you know what? Might have been the world's angriest Walter. That's what counts with that character. That is the angriest. You should have kind of Jesus. You do. I actually feel like I've always wanted to dress up as Jesus or the Jesus from the big Lebowski as a Halloween costume. You said, yeah, I mean, you're framing everything. It's a little last minute. I don't know where you can get a purple jump suit. I know where you can

get a purple jump suit. What? No way. Yeah, I'm South Congress. Let's. It's a little last minute. I don't know where you can get a purple jumpsuit like. I know where you can get a purple jumpsuit. What? No way. Yeah, I'm South Congress. Let's go. No. Anyway. I'll take pictures.

Impossible. This lady knows costumes, man. You're in her neck of the woods now. She can get you a purple jumpsuit by 3 p.m. With it without a head scarf. That's the last time I'll ever make that joke. Welcome to Griffin Country. Yeah.

So you're going to be working on costumes the rest of the day? Griffin? I should write a comment because now Luke's going to know that I haven't actually been working out like I've been telling him over. Don't worry, he doesn't listen to the podcast. What's your comment going to be about? It's going to be if we're doing Jason doing his like World Tour around around the neighborhood So I'm just gonna do a conclusion either a conclusion to that or We hit some ideas sort of time sensitive somebody do something like that. I don't know. I never think about these things Is this a comic for tomorrow? Yeah, yeah, so you have told tomorrow right?

So he's be drawn Luke Luke can draw fast, right? You know Luke works like on the internet But he's impossible to get a hold of using the internet. He's never on aim. Like I don't know. He's impossible to get a hold of. I don't know where he is all day. He's probably doing art type stuff.

Yeah, I don't know. Buying them. Looking at apples and drawing them. That's what artists do, right? Like look at my fruit to look at. He's got that little wooden doll and he's posing it in different ways. You know, these things are expensive. They're like $30 just to get a little wooden guy.

What sucks? I bet there's something on the internet that has you can just pre-position it. I haven't looked, but I'm gonna look for it now. Oh, okay. I bet there is. Yeah, you can get a magic 8 ball so you can probably get one. If there's a magic 8 ball on the internet, you've got to be able to do it. Yeah.

There might be an iPhone app for it. I should check. So, Guss, are you gonna see any movies this weekend? No. What's out? What's coming out? I have no idea. Oh Gus are you gonna see any movies this weekend? No. What's that? What's coming out? I have no idea. Oh I want to see the horror movie. The one that's supposed to be scary. I keep looking at Gus and I'm like going online. No no no not saw six. It's the one. Perinolectivity. I want to see that. I've heard it's pretty bad. Really? Yeah. Like bad and as in scary or bad. It was number one in the box office. Well I guess you can't argue with that. How did the clump stoop when it came out? I don't know. But I heard that was a really good movie. I think paranormal activity climbed to number one.

It had like, it was released on the insert in theaters, right? And you had to like, it was a dumb stunt thing or whatever. Yeah, it was stupid. I think we talked about it a couple of weeks ago. I decided that they were going to release it wide anyway. They just want people to talk about it. Absolutely. It doesn't matter whether or not. But it worked. Yeah. You know, the movie's made over $60 million so far. Kudos.

People are stupid. Not bad for a $15,000 movie. Yeah, it sold it. Yeah, I think we talked about it. We should've sold it. We sold it. We made the joke. It's only a movie over there sold there.

Yeah, we don't need to rehash. We went to slamdams once a couple years ago at the same time as Sundance. Yes, we did. We didn'ty judge some kind of game contest. Yeah, he did. He's like the best independent game contest. It was like, a nrbacular drop one, right? No, they didn't win. They did.

They voted for them to win, but they didn't win. And nrbacular dropped it and ended up being portal. And the game that did win ended up being who fucking knows. Wasn't portal, that's for sure. It was weird seeing portal before it was portal. I didn't go that year, so I didn't see it. Oh, you weren't there? Yeah, that was our second year at Sundance.

I only went the first year. Was that 2005? Yeah, I'm gonna say that's right. Yeah, January 2005. That was the only time that we went, I think. Yeah, we went that first year when you were knocked up. And you slept in a pantry? Yeah, we slept in a pantry.

I threw up on the snow alone. Actually, that's when I learned to dislike Neil Gaiman. I'm back to liking him again. But I had to see Mirror Mask there. I mean, I was really excited about it. And I waited in line for like an hour, an hour or two hours, and like, I was so sick. And then we went in and like, we left like 30 minutes in.

We were so excited. I went with you. I remember we were behind the Eccles Theatre, right? We were like, we had a snow. Yeah. And we was lame. And the person on the outside was throwing up all of the snow and

people were like, that movie must have so. Oh man. Yeah, I was just pointed by that movie. Yeah. But we just read the graveyard book. And I think it might be young adult, but it's really a cute, it's a really

cool concept. And I'm back to like a nail game and again. What's it about? It's about a boy whose parents or his whole family gets, you don't want to give too much away. I'm not going to give it too much away. This is just the first chapter I'm not going to get it anyway. It's a boy or like a toddler who, his family gets murdered and he wanders, he's wandering

out and then that he's like the one family member that doesn't get murdered. And he wanders into a graveyard and the ghosts raise him. Oh, that's weird. I'm really into ghosts, obviously. He's running up to you anytime And he wanders into a graveyard and the ghosts raise him. Oh, that's hilarious. Oh, that's hilarious. Obviously, he's running up to anytime. Gows up in a graveyard essentially. Yeah. And he's got like, he meets all these different characters

that hang out in a graveyard. So is it like characters from like all different time? Yeah, yeah. And that's really cool because he learns like, eventually, I'm not going to give too much of a way. Eventually, he goes to a real school with kids. And he's always getting to fight through the history teacher because he

knows a different history. Because he hears from the people that load during the times. Not like goofy, famous, dead people or anything. Right, just regular people. But the whole thing is like the person that killed his family is still looking for him. And so he's got to hide in the grave.

Why does this guy hate his family so much? Well, that's part of this is a story. Well, I hope that goes protective. They do. OK, good. You should read it. No, no, that's never going to happen. It's pretty short. It's a short, it's the ghosts protect him. They do. Okay, good. You should read it. No, no, that's never gonna happen. Yeah, it's pretty short. It's a short, it's a short, it's a short read.

Every time a technical manual, I'm not opening it. Is that why you like Snowcrash? I do like Snowcrash. I don't know. I think Snowcrash might have been the last book ever written. No, no, that's not true. Because, you know, Gryffind are doing this thing where we've never read science fiction together. We like to read together.

And so we decided that we would read a science fiction book where we've never read science fiction together. We like to read together and so we decided that we would read a science fiction book and we've both read a lot independently of each other, but we decided that why not just read the best science fiction book ever and so we looked at a ton of lists online and the general consensus is that What are we reading? We're reading Ender's game is the best science book ever and and we're enjoying it thoroughly But when I told you that you said that game said that book sucks. You need to read it No, I didn't I didn't say that ender's game. I read that high school. Have you read it? Yeah, I read it I'm really liking it. We're not very far in so don't give in any spoilers. I said that neural man for sucks

Oh, right. You're a great book piece of shit Oh, word no, that actually a piece of shit So crash is good, but the the last chapter and the ending kind of falls off. Oh really? No, that's too bad. Yeah, so that's why I can't say it's the best book ever. What is the best book ever? The Bible.

I think there's a trick question. I don't know why you even have to ask the Bible. It's certainly the best novel I've ever made. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what the best book ever made is. I don't know if one, if he could. You can't qualify that. Ruchete's comic shoot 3. Yeah, it's like really?

It's the same. Come back next month. We have a lot of products going on. I know we were talking about that. Shit, we do have a lot of stuff we're not. We're prolific. We need to make like a collection of podcasts on a CD and sell that now. Let's do it, dude. We can do like, that's what Ricky Jervais did, right?

Not to go back to the Ricky Jervais thing, but Jesus, keep, right. He collects his podcast into seasons and sells them his audio books. Smart. It is smart. I'm doing it. Yeah, you do it. I just do it.

All right. Like, a lot of sell them out of my trunk. I'll go down to the water burger, like I'm self-first. You're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're going to buy some CDs? There's the Screwed and Chop. Yes, the Chopped and Screwed and Rusteded Podcasts. Also, I have stakes.

Hahaha. Hahaha. No, don't badmouth the stakes. Every time I drive by like, yes, they always wonder if that dude's till they're selling stakes. DG, he's probably a goldman for him. Probably is.

His boss is always yelling at him though. He got to get rid of him. That should be, you guys, that should be your price for your next contest, whatever your contest site contest is. When a stake? Yeah, you should do it. You can get that out. We can do that. Man, but I'm afraid like there's some kind of like health ramification about mailing me, you know, like whatever you can sense I want to stake and it's bad. Dude that'd be a great name for a band

mailing me. If any if any of you inner-pricing podcasts listeners start some sort of heavy metal band and gets famous I want credit. Your name? Man, I had a dream about running me last night. That's weird that we're talking about it. Did you really? Yeah, after I told you about the dehydrated horse. But then later I had to clean up a bunch of like piles of rotting meat. Did a lot of it. I don't know what my dreams are about.

Like, I should probably not be talking about them because it's probably obvious to everyone else. Definitely decayed. I don't know. I don't know. The decline of society. Yeah, I don't know. It was weird. I was just taking care of the hydrated horse. And then I gave it a bunch of water really quickly, and then someone came up there.

You know you're not supposed to give a hydrated horse a lot of water right away. And then they told me it just like somehow has some kind of brain problems. I kept watching my horse to make sure it was okay. And then I had to go scoop up piles of rotting meat. When you say you had a, you were giving water to dehydrate a horse, I think it was like a little sponge foam animals. You like, or water run over night in the growl bin. Yeah, I came up with an animal sized horse.

Did, how did you make sure your horse's brain was okay? Did you give them simple math problems and see if you could hook it out? Like one plus one. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It was like, oh good. I didn't even think to do that, which is odd.

You probably should have. Yeah. Horses love math. I was just looking for swelling really. Like brain swelling? Yeah. The kids used to use brain coming out of his ear and you knew you had a problem.

But he's going to be okay, but then I get distracted by the meat, so. Running meat's pretty gross. It was really, really gross. And I couldn't hold the rest of the dream. I just spent it like looking for a faucet that I watched my hands. One time when I was in Puerto Rico, like the day after, you know,

garbage day was every week, like anywhere else, like most other places. And the day after you know garbage day was every week like anywhere else like most other places and the day after garbage day The refrigerator in my house died Like the most said garbage day it makes me laugh That's stupid video the motor got blown out and like all the meat in the in the fridge rod like went bad So I had like six days until garbage days. I put it all in the trash I Then just like waited and it was the most horrific stink in the world. You knew it was probably that you killed somebody.

Yeah the neighbors came over. I don't know. I apologize if this fucks you on the link dump. I don't know if you can find it if it still exists, but that reminds me of Stinky Meat Project. Do you remember that? Stinky Meat Project, Stinky Feet Project? Yeah, Stinky Meat was like a response to Stinky Feet or vice versa.

I think you can remember. Stinky Meat was first. But you probably never saw this, Griffin. But this is a long time ago on the internet on the side of the spark that used to have cool content and then just became like a cliff notes kind of company. But this dude took and put a bunch of meat on a plate and stuck it in the back of his neighbor's yard and then would sneak over every day and take a picture and see how long

it took his neighbor to find the meat of via the smell like a big backyard or how long It took the meat just to disintegrate it was really gross. What happened? It made it like three weeks or something before I don't remember how the experiment ended but it made it forever. I think the neighbor eventually found it Did I remember he had a ton of projects like one of his other project was the date my sister project? Yeah, he had his sister come up and stay with him and he installed hidden cameras in his apartment to watch her and then he he hired her to write a Thing called like Beth in the city or something and it was her interpretation of dating in Boston where he lived and then he She would write fake articles and he changed the local host at her at the apartment to point to a website that was all of her articles So she thought it was actually going up, but it wasn't and then't. And then she would try to get his friends to go out with her, then he'd hide in the bushes and take pictures of them on their dates.

It was brilliant. It was really good. And she busted them eventually. It ended when she was lying on the couch and noticed the spy camera in the ceiling fan. And in that she calls his mom. I guess it was Christian. She's like, he did it again. You guys talking about the dudes from the spark? Yeah, Christian Rutter I had the weirdest spotting of that dude. How come I come in the phone fucking rings? How's that possible? It's math. Hey, Matt. I'm hanging up on you. Okay, so I hope I go back. So I had the weirdest spotting of that dude. He was in an Oscars video

During the Academy Awards what they had like a Series of people just out of a white background talking into the camera about movies and he was one of the dudes What it was weird really weird. What when was that? It was like five years ago. Wow. He was like a band I remember Yeah, he had a band. I should see if we find his website again Yeah, if you can if you can go back and find any of that dudes old stuff from the spark. Yeah, it was pretty funny I remember he had He did how do he did an article on time that was how to lose a fight so that the other guy gets arrested and

In it He said that I'll never forget this co-oper as long as I live math math He said mathematics is the science of not getting laid What a prolific quote that won't go down in history as such but totally true Very funny. Oh, sorry when the spark changed for maths. I think it's like It's like a Dating site, right? Yeah, something like that. So weird. It was such a weird transition for a website to go through also Fuck it while we're talking about the spark they used to have a t-shirt that I look for an email

I'm also all that I've always wanted they used to sell a t-shirt that said the internet I can't believe it's not better and it was the I can't believe it's not butter logo. Yeah, it's fucking everything brilliant That's fine if anybody can find that shirt for me drop me an email I always look for that shirt, too That's a shame. Internet times gone by. Why didn't we ever just buy it? Why did we just fucking buy it when we saw it?

Because we're stupid. Because people should buy stuff from websites they like. Yeah, I agree. If there's a product they like on a website like roostercheek.com, they should buy it. No, you're bringing up an excellent point here at Gus, and I'm not even making a joke. We didn't buy those shirts.

That might have been all they needed. Was you and I to buy those two shirts to continue with their entertaining content. Instead, they went the route of making money by doing quizzes so they could collect information about you to sell to other companies, or however the fuck that worked, and selling cliff notes.

They could be making funny content today, and you and I could be wearing our shirts, but instead, they went the way that dinosaur. One thing I wanted to talk about last week, and we never got around to it, I forgot about, is I don't know if you heard this story, but did you hear that Google voice voicemails were appearing in public searches on Google?

Yes I did. So like, you could listen to people's voicemails or read transcripts of their voicemails if they were using the Google voice service. I mean, who didn't see that coming? How long was that up for about that? I think it was only up for like a day or two. But still it fucking happened. Yeah. I mean, all these people who talk about you know cloud computing and Offloading all of your information to someone else to take care. This is what fucking happens

The the service either fucks up and deletes everything or makes it publicly available so everyone can see your shit Didn't something similar happen with aims a while back to oh? Yeah, no, that was a well-released Not in-log searches. Oh, that's right. AOL released all their AOL searches for a while, so people could trend them. They released like 150,000 searches and it had like IP addresses

and potentially identifying information. I still got a copy of all those searches. Yeah, let's do that. They took it offline very quickly. Yeah, but I got them. I know what you looked for. I know you fucking dirty,. I mean fucking dirty dirty people You get to get their searches and their IP addresses, I think through through a well calm or the A well service

Yeah, okay through their through their search system to people still have a well as a service like you Yeah, I was last time you saw an a well disk. You used to do this fucking thing to me, where you would get free AOL disks from the, like the, uh, what was that, not the library. I think I got them at the post office. And you would hide them all over my house into my bags and stuff. And I'd literally be like, taking a shower

and I'd go to get a towel and an AOL disk would drop out of the fucking towel rack. I forgot I needed to do that. You did that to me for probably three years. It was horrible. I forgot about that. God, they were everywhere. Yeah. I wonder if you stacked every AOL disk ever made

Like from the surface of the earth how tall they would be to get a Jupiter Fucking Jupiter man. They used to get those all the fucking time I mean they move they those things have existed. They were they were around for so long They transitioned from one media to another they moved from discats to the CD that's true and god who fucking use those things I don't know are they even still a nice p yeah that's what I'm asking I don't know can you go to like can you sign up for a well how about what was the over the other one's prodigy comp you sir prodigy's I'm pretty sure it's gone comp you sir I think it's gone as well hmm yeah I think I had a prodigy account briefly, like back in 1993.

How was it? I don't remember. I don't remember a damn thing about it. Can you imagine if you got to travel back in time, but not a good amount, just like, I don't know, eight years, and you had to deal with like the internet from eight years ago. That would be the worst.

Yeah. Fucking dial-up modems. Having a slingshot, get a decent connection. Slingshot? You know what I forgot about that. Yeah. Fucking dial up modems. Having a slingshot, get a decent connection. Slingshot? You know, I forgot about that. Yeah. You guys, those are those modems you could buy and you could, if you had two phone lines, you could bind them so they was like one fast internet connection between two modems and two phone lines. Fast. Yeah. Fuck, I forgot about that. God shot gunning. Yeah. We, you know, we used to work tech support and I got a, I got two or three calls for people who shotguns really? Yeah nice

They was always this never works I don't understand how that technology for what was the worst mode of ever made you remember we used to always get it I can't think what it's called it was they were are it were motives with the RPI chipset It was a specific brand least to always get if somebody would call with that mode and we just immediately feel like answer This is never gonna work for you. Yeah, I don't remember. We had problems with like the Lucent K56. Yeah. This is getting super nerdy.

Yeah, we probably should get away from the nerdy tech support talk as quickly as we can. Let's move away from the podcast to lunch and drinks. I'm all for that. Let's go to the Ruin fork. All right. Oh, I love going to the Ruin fork. Oh, actually, can we talk about video games finally?

Sure. Okay. We've been, definitely been playing Fable 2 together and he's, I don't know, look, we've been playing a couple of games, but that's the one that I've been kind of fixated on lately. And we've been having a lot of trouble with dating. So it's just like real life. We spent an hour trying to get, like, I was her henchman helping her. We spent an hour trying to take somebody on the perfect date for that stupid

That's called a wingman couldn't do it. I was a woman. Yeah, couldn't do it I could not do it and I said it's been so much money on this guy But actually the problem we've been having like I had a I feel Adley like guilty. I don't know if you guys experienced it when you play video games sometimes Especially the ones where you have you know You can make decisions and like become good or evil and I can never let myself be evil even if it's more fun. But I got like a hundred evil points because my husband left me and then the state took away my kid because I tried to get the polygamous achievement, but I made a mistake of bringing her home and like trying to get everyone to live under the same roof and I guess it's not like you top like me. It's like whatever you know

the I guess the lying type that you have like a husband or wife, like, yes, your family. So I'm going to try that next, but, um, never miss, never make sure Texas and your Eskimo family. Have you all been playing any borderlines? Oh, we played a little bit, yeah. Yeah, we played it for, well, we haven't played a lot because obviously we've been in intense DVD testing mode, but yeah, we played for about an hour Saturday morning. You need to give another copy that way we can all play on the next box life party. I would love to. I actually enjoyed it. Like Jeff described to me and I didn't think I was going to like the game type, but I

really like had a lot more fun with the shoot. Well, I'm not really a good shooter. Like I'm playing the the berserker. So I've never like, I've played that one yet. I actually prefer I prefer melee fighting anyway, just in general when I play video games. I'm not. I'm not. Which you're playing. Are you playing a soldier? I'm playing soldier, which is weird

She's a berserker, but she still has weapons and it still seems like she uses the weapons Hmm, but I guess we haven't gotten to the point. We have our special attacks and stuff. You get that level five, okay But I'm trying to think that RPS might be the new genre. It's pretty good Yeah, like fallout I think it's still I gotta get back to it I quit playing when gav came to town It's still probably the most fun I've had playing a 360 game and then borderlands is just like you know fall out like fall out light Yeah, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Yeah, I played a little bit of borderline

I think I got up to level 25 last night. Did you have you beat it yet? No, no I've got a level 25 soldier and a level 22 siren. Oh wow. Yeah, I need to I think I'd like the siren more But I'm playing the soldier right now. Yeah, Okay. What are you playing again? You're playing I'm playing soldier soldier and you were trying to decide between him and the other one. Him and the siren actually, but I'd already watched Gus play this I ran a bit and I wanted to see something new. So I picked a soldier. Okay. He seemed to be the most well balanced. So no one wants to be the hunter. The hunter looks stupid to me. Yeah, I don't you know, I hate to say it because I Probably would like this sniper rifle and stuff, but his character design makes me not want to it. Yeah, he looks like a guy that would be really annoying to talk to you You know what's funny about that game member? I don't know if you paid attention to it, but on the character selection screen like the bus drivers kind of roasting the guys

Yeah, he's like, okay, what about you? You look like some kind of dominatrix. Oh Yeah, do you notice that? Yeah, he like goes down the list and like makes fun of everyone Okay, except for the group except for the berserkers like you I'm not gonna make fun of you. Oh, I remember that part because and then that's around the time I pick yeah, yeah I will say I really like like Celsrating got really big for a while there and then kind of fell out of favor because I think it was over used You know around the dreamcast or you know PS2 days, but this is an example of self-shaking them really well Yeah, it's good. I really really dig it. Yeah, it's oh it's first time I played a game like this

I mean just stylized and I like it because it's like playing a three-dimensional comic book. Yeah, it's good. I really, really did get. Yeah, it's, oh, it's first time I played a game like this, I mean, just stylized. And I like it because it's like playing a three-dimensional comic book. Yeah, it kind of this. Yeah, for sure. Whenever I think of a self-shitting, though, I always think of the old jet-grine radio and jet-set radio future. Absolutely. And, uh, jet-set radio future was probably my favorite self-shitting game. Dude, that game still looks good today. That game looks fucking amazing. My favorite. I had a, that's the game I had a fucking weird experience with, where I played that game a ton, and then when I went to Tokyo,

like I was on the subway, and I was like, holy shit, I know where we are because of Jetset Radio Future. That's awesome. It's like, I recognize this, this like, bust terminal. Dude, the exact same thing happened to me when I went to Liberty City. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Uh, I think the best cel-shade game of all time, from, from me, was probably Dark Cloud 2, which I know a lot of people didn't play that I love that game. Yeah, it was great. We're still sure the game ever played 13. Oh my god. Yeah, that game was atrocious What do you guys think the best the most the well most well designed just like visually well-designed game? It's uh of all time. That's tough. I would say current generation the best looking game. I've seen as uncharted too I turn to looks amazing. It looks it's really impressive. I haven't seen it. It's a PS3 game. Okay. But it looks really really really good. Yeah, I can show you some stuff. I put I made so much

even hundred videos and it's just amazing looking. Okay. It's a fun game too. It's a real good game. Let me let me ask you this. I excised this in my journal the other day because I was looking at Uncharted 2 and how good it looked and I thought what's the best looking game on the 360? What do you think the best looking game in the 360? It might be fallout 3. Fallout 3 looks good, right? Mm-hmm. It's really good. Maybe it's kind of data now, but bio shock was really I mean was so pretty At the time I bet if we went back it wouldn't it wouldn't look as graphically impressive Bio shock 2 is coming out soon. It's true. It's amazing to like how that happens How you're like you remember because I remember when you were playing

Shit called the duty call of duty or called it for no, no, no I remember when you were playing, shit, it's called the duty, it's called the duty, or called it the- Called the duty four? No, no, no, no, no, no, that's not the game. The one where you were the freedom fighter, what one is that? Oh, fact, no. No, no, no, no, no, just cause.

Just cause, but you're playing just cause. Like I was, I was really impressed, and then you played it recently because you had to go pick up some achievement that you hadn't gotten yet. And it really didn't hold up at all. No. It's amazing how quickly things are moving.

For sure. Jessica's Tuesday coming out next year too. I bet that'll look awesome. Are you excited? You've already started. Because that was when you sort of decided on the sightseeing thing you're doing with the videos now, that's something you really like to do,

just like looking around and finding stuff and like... That was kind of the seed. Yeah, I started this new feature on an achievement hunter where it's called sightseeing, where I just walk around the game and look at Easter eggs and just like, you know, points of interest. And the difference is right. It happened to me wheneing where I just walk around the game and look at Easter eggs and just like you know points of interest and Gryffinds right it happened to me when I was playing just cause like I it was in this

Town like this little beach town and I thought this would be the nicest place to retire And I just I ended up like hanging around just walking around the town for like probably 20 minutes Just totally lost and like completely immersed in the world of that little city. Did you find the best mangoes in town? I didn't I didn't But and that that was like one you find the best mangoes in town? I did, I did. But that was like one of the moments, one of the first moments where I, I don't know, got sucked into a game and completely forgot about playing the game, you know? I could have just walked around and just caused forever.

Just looking at stuff. I started talking about you last night I was out with a woman, I was really surprising. She is like a graphic designer and, but she was like in her 30s or something and she said that she had every console but she never has time to play games anymore because now she's an entrepreneur. But I was surprised because she didn't seem like the type... I don't know that she would play video games but she was really into it and she liked to do what you do just like explore.

And she said, I wish there was a game I didn't have to worry about the story so much and just have the go have stuff to look at. Yeah, I wish I could be invisible in wow just so that I could walk around the entire... I could walk around wow forever too Yeah, and just like like you can as a ghost just get somewhere and get Yeah, I'll get six minutes or whatever But like my favorite thing to do in wow is to swim coastlines and just see what I can get to you know You were obsessed with walking from one continent to the other

I want to do it so badly. I tried so hard. You should have done it like I'm you know I don't know like this walks across America where you have to like, get people like interested in to bring things and. I would do that. I'll walk across America. You should make a character called Force Gump. Yeah, and you do as like run from the southern tip of Callendor to the northern tip and back and forth.

Like over and over. You're three years. Yeah, just see like how many people like start recognizing what you're doing. So Griffin, you have lately gotten into video games. Like legend fabled to you've been playing borderlands a little bit And now you want to play DJ hero Yeah, and actually like you asked me to go pick it up last night and I was it was too that's by close with the time

I got home, but I I don't know like I'm a little bit nervous about getting sucked into that I'm feeling really like non-committal with video games right like I can't get too excited about any. I don't know like I just kind of want to test the waters Does that make sense? I just don't want to get sucked in because when we played like when we first when I first started playing guitar Here with you that was all we played for months and months and months like we got really sucked in and I'm kind of and I'm definitely Know that D.D. Hero is gonna be more fun than that just based on all the things you can do like you can do what like Yeah, I don't know what things are called We played it in the office a little bit because we did a commercial in it. Yeah, no, it's games out. We did. Jolded the DJ Hero commercial

all back. Yeah, so I got to play it and it was really fun. So I'm kind of worried about like getting one because then I'm sure that I'll never get anything done again. Well, I'm getting stuff done's overrated. Yeah, is that true? Just make, make a, figure out what to make a career out of playing DJ Hero. I finally busted out my Beatles rock band wireless drums last night for the first time. How are they? It's good. Now that my house is like getting further along, I can, you know, get bust out my big video game accessories. Speaking of that, dude, I am really excited because somebody on the site, I think it was, I hope I'm not attributing to the wrong person. But I think it was fragger last week, notified me that MTV is selling

Rock Band 1, like the full edition with all the equipment, what do you call this thing, instruments, with all the instruments, and a copy of Rock Band 2 for $79 postage pay. Is that promotion still going on? I don't know if it's still going on, it's called it was rock band 79.com and I stopped playing Griffin. I both stopped playing those guitar games at guitar here with three so we never had we never bought a full set of drums or any of that equipment and so it was like a no-brainer. I bought it. I haven't received it yet, but I bought it last week and if it's still around then you're looking for an entrance into that that genre. That's a super cheap way to do it. Yeah, that's correct. You get two full games rock band and rock band two,

which is like 120 songs or something. And then the rest of it's just gravy. I mean, you can just buy like rock band, Beatles Rock band, I can now get for 60 bucks a week. So I'm excited to jump back into that world. You've got the system, yeah, you've got all the instruments. Now you've got a fucking warrior where you put a goddamn video game drum set.

It's too late. I've got two video game drum sets what do they have what the fucking I'm gonna do I'm also like five guitars but it's kind of cool too cuz I waited now I have rock band rock band to guitar hero world tour guitar hero four or five whichever the one isn't world tour Metallica Van Halen Beatles Lego is coming out band hero Hero, and then the Rock Band track packs of which there's like four. So it's like 12 games worth of Rock Band and the Car Hero I can play. Like a billion DLC songs.

Yeah, and a billion DLCs are so many of them. So as an achievement, that opens up a whole world of possibilities to me. I'm really excited. I figure I can get a good 5 or 6,000 points very easily just doing the easy achievements in those games. Nice. Yeah. I'm really excited. I figure I can get a good five or six thousand points very easily just doing the easy achievements in those games. Nice. Yeah, I'm super excited. So you're setting up your game area in your house? Working on it. We're talking about reworking our living room to be just a game center room. Because I mean at this point it's like it's not it is that anyway. There's like controllers of a world of time and games every world of

time. We might as well like just get it to a gaming and like have a decent setup. If you come check out some of the things I've done games every world of time. We might as well just get it to a gaming and have a decent setup. If you come check out some of the things I've done actually in my living room, I'm pretty proud of some of the choices I've made. It's all, everything is always out there, and you can just pick up a game and play very readily. But I think I've eliminated it almost every visible wire. There are no wires at all in my living room.

Have you actually started the decorating process? Because I'd like to film it. No, not yet. Okay. Well, because we were ready for signing, because we can't put anything on the walls, because when you're putting signing on, all the banging, we'll just knock it off. Yeah, that's a good point. Okay, when you start to do that, when you get ready to do that, let me know.

I'll film it. Okay. Sounds fascinating. No, I'm interested by that stuff. Whatever. It's going to be for a segment of our new show, This Nerd House. That's in a funny name. Thanks. T.M. copywritten.

Yeah, for you to see. Receive for the register that before Leo does. Oh, shit. I'll just tell him to give it to me. It's the best part of Leo. All right, does anything else you want to talk about before you wrap up? Get some lunch?

I don't think so. Just lots of new changes come into achievement hunter. This is the busy season for us. So pretty much from this week until the end of the year, there's gonna be a ton of videos. Like I know right now you're working on fours of three. I'm doing tech and six, Balagate Tony tomorrow, next week's Dragon Age, then of course, Lefford Ed too, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty. Another thing I do want to mention, the last time I wanted to plug our DVDs for coming out again

one more time, and we do have a bundle. You can get the RT shorts DVD and the recreation DVD together for $30. That's a super deep. I've seen a few orders come through where people don't realize that. They're buying each DVD individually. Yeah, be sure to do that. So don't do that. If you want to buy both, we have a pack put together, say, some money. Yeah, absolutely. They're both quality quality DVDs. And be sure to check out the trackadero CD when it comes out. It's called Ghosts that linger. And also RT comics, your three will be in the store in the next coming weeks. Yep, you can find it all in our store and I think we've been making use post about it and we'll continue to do so. Alright, well thanks for listening everyone.
