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

Twisted metal, now only on peacock Just is not a frog. Just kidding. Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast. Hey, just kidding. What was that? I don't know. I have no idea what that was. That was our intro song. I'm so confused now.

I'm excited. I don't feel properly introduced. You're Jack. Oh hi, I'm Jack. There's your introduction. Do you feel properly introduced now? That's Gus over there on the ones and twos. That's me. Ones and zeros. I feel obligated that we should tell people who's not here as opposed to who is here every week.

Madam Curie is not here today. That's true. Uh, signal Freud, not for Jeff is not here. Oh, that's true. We also have a very quiet Joel Heyman with us today. Hello. How you doing, Joel? I'm okay. How are you? I'm great because we're gonna have a short podcast this week because of the holidays and stuff where I'll try to get out of here. Short podcast. Yeah, I'm not I'm not I'm not here at all. I'm gonna be here through Friday. Yeah, we get out of here. I think Gus is the only one leaving early actually. I thought you were. Joel, I thought you were going to see

your parents for Christmas. You're not going? No, I mean, I don't, I mean, if I do, I'd like to go, but if I do go, I will be booking tickets at the very last nanosecond. And I think if Christmas Eve is Friday, I'm at least working through Thursday. I think Christmas Eve is Thursday. I think Christmas a day is Friday. I think Christmas Eve is Friday.

It's 2007, right? You might be right about that. What's that work? You know those people who can calculate any year any year you give them in a date they'll tell you what day of the week it fell and you get like you say January 27 1978 and they can tell you what day of the week. Yeah there's that the lady from taxi you remember her like the red hair Mary Lou Henter. Yes she has a Tony Danza. He does not have that. Or are we playing this?

I didn't know there were people who could do that. Yeah, because my, how have you seen that? How have you seen my ability as if someone says that I can tell you a name that has that ability? How have you seen the guy over in Europe? That's my ability. It's almost as good. How have you seen the guy over in Europe

who was able to, he was able to list out pie to 10,000 places by memory? This guy's gotta get it. he's some like super intelligent dude like he is like weird crazy memory Like he basically is a rain man's like syndrome like the rain man thing is actually legit thing He has it, but he's actually like he's able to socially interact with people like a lot of those people have He's English. Yeah, but I mean a lot of people have that I know this guy We're good friends, so your shape he programs our English. Yeah, but I mean a lot of people have that I know this guy. We're good friends. So your shakes he programs our website. Yeah They call that aspergers syndrome. Okay, no, no, this is something that aspergers like autism

Yeah, it's like it's a formal autism. It's a this guy as aspergers aspergers There's a formal autism so Bernie's defense and the Venn diagram would fit within. It's the guys who are, it's that new class of person that's very quirky and very smart in specific ways and maybe isn't up to snuff socially. So basically, basically nerds are now being held. I have the respect. By the way, that was the entire full medical protocol right there. That was the exact answer I was just saying. Were you reading even the New England Journal of Medicine?

I couldn't turn around and see. Yeah, I was. Wow,. I'm just general. Were you reading even the New England Journal of Medicine? I couldn't turn around and see. Yeah, I was. Wow, it's riveting. It's metapedia.org. Well, we don't go to that website. I have no idea what's at metapedia.org. It's webdr.com. What if I have a web MD?

I think they're still around. Didn't Dr. Coup got bought by Web MD, right? Dr. Coup was being company here in Austin. Yeah, Dr. Coup got. Every time I drive by that building, I still think of it as the Dr. Coup building off MoPAC. Yeah, Dr. Cooper got every time I drive by that building, I still think about it as the Dr. Cooper building off of MoPak. Yeah, it's like MoPak and far west right there, far west just north of it. Just so you know, if you don't know who Dr. Cooper is, he was the surgeon general under clinked or bush senior.

I thought it was Reagan. He made a Reagan older man. Oh, yeah, he, the guy with the beard. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he went, he's been like three or four presidents. He's, there might have been Reagan's Colonel Sanders. He, and he was kind of another dude, didn't he? I think he was served with Reagan. Yeah, I yeah, he went he's been like three or four presidents. He's Colonel Sanders he and he was kind of another dude. I think he was served with Reagan Yeah, I'm with through the first bush. Yeah, one of his things that he said was he wanted to encourage Mastervation in order to curb HIV infection right and that was kind of a wacky thing that he said good logic

I said if you've never said you deserve some website I think he deserves his own line of fish Ticks the way he you see that guy. Yeah, he looks like he should be a he's the first dude rock and a beard without a mustache Most dangerous catch Maybe like a congressional hearing with a like a big steel cage full of shells and crab Yeah, that guy is not that he's definitely making furniture in Pennsylvania while masturbating. Well, no, while advocating for masturbation. I should look up. I should check my sources. No, no, that's totally true. You said it allegedly. Let me go to Dr. Koo jerksit.com. Sorry, Dr. Koo, not Dr. Coup Two totally different things. Yeah, oh man. So what do we do this week and guys?

I went to a party at Jeff and Griffin's house. I was there. I also did I did a couple different things I also got past a Leftford dead to campaign on expert with realism mode This is the one you had trouble with Joel right? With Joel and I weren't even playing realism mode. We were just playing expert. And Joel, how long did we play before we gave up? You haven't been on the podcast as we talked about it. I think it was probably after the ninth time that I had shot you in the head. How would you describe the overall mood at the end of the four hours of playing expert?

I'm sure it's positive. I was ready to kill everyone. You know, it's like it would be cool that in that game and that mode that if you did get bit by zombie you get turned into a zombie and then it's almost like versus where you're on the other team now That would be cool, right? And you know you would attack them, right? You would not help your friends. The only problem with that mode is you imagine Probably everybody running out and immediately trying to get bit by zombie so they could be on the other team So what they would have to do. Yeah, so what they'd have to do is like you'd get bit by zombie, but not know that you're a zombie So you still have the same interface or whatever as like like you think you're chasing after humans, but I don't know or maybe It's got a confusing horn. Maybe you only get one life as a zombie like once they kill you That's it. You have to spectate the rest of the game. Oh God. There's no worse penalty in video games

than having to fucking watch other people play. Yeah. That's the one thing I hate is like when I'm dead as a zombie and versus and just like spectating waiting for that fucking respawn timer to hit. It is the worst. It's long too. Yeah, that's what she said.

20 seconds. She played the smoker. The attack. Yeah, I want to issue a very quick retraction. It was not Dr. Koop that encouraged masturbation. It was the lady afterwards. It was Jocelyn Elders, the surgeon general, I don't know where she fell. You need progression.

I think she was Clinton, right? I forgot about Jocelyn Elders. Like I remember the name, you know, Dr. Koop. I don't remember Dr. Elders. Here's the headline you want to follow you through history. Surgeon General resigned in masturbation row. Like, you just envisioned she's in her office just jerking it up. And so they had to get rid of her.

I think the idea of masturbation row. Like, that sounds like a Japanese game show. It's like a mix of the red light district and then after that, it's like the red light district and masturbation row. It just comfy sofas, district and masturbation row. It just comes to be so fuzz Like tissues and Vaseline What's your address? Oh 34 masturbation room apartment B

It's one way straight You know the like the Clinton administration probably went to her two ends and look you got a resign over this thing And it was definitely before the Monica Lewinsky scandals So like you know later she's sitting at home watching it going you mother He's serious She was six oh You killed a jack well in 1992 she also told abortion opponents to quote get over their love affair with the fetus I don't think that way Wow

So apparently she was pretty out of focus. Wow get over your love God she's wow dude. That's wow. She's what they call a Divider The surgeon generals have to go through like a A horrible process or a vetting yeah, I think they do told med school buddy Don't don't they have the Yeah here? Don't they hear it? They're in front of like, yeah, okay. Like they did that with the most recent one, right?

Not, not a, what, it was gonna be the, that one guy was a TV show and like CNN or something like that. And then, uh, uh, uh, Guppal, he was named, he was gonna be it. And then, right. No, somebody else, they eventually don't win it. You know what I would say? If you want this to be a legitimate position,

when the president appoints this dude, he's the dude who does surgery on the president. He actually fulfills that job where if I get something I need to have surgery, this is the guy that's going to be like, God forbid the other party controls Congress. Another one died. Another one died. We don't even know what happened. He wasn't even sick. It was not anything to work. I wrote toenails. I'm not dead. How did Dr. Drew from Loveline get to me?

Certain general. Oh, man, checks and balances. This bit of fun podcast already. Geez. We should be shorter ones more often. We should just quit. Well, we're in.

All right. I'm over. Who knew the surgeon general was such a fun topic? But, damn, when we played last night, we finished it last night, this Leifer Dead 2 expert campaign on realism. I was so angry. Who'd you play with?

I played with Pantin, and I played with Mukow, who is the long, long, long, long time commissioner of Gryff Ball. He's actually pretty good at the Halo and first person shooter. Well, no, but that's not the problem with playing with Mukow. It's not that he's good.

It's just that he talks a lot. Go ahead and mark this on the time. So you're patenting in moocow? And 13 church from the site. I don't know. It goes by Jeff now, J-E-F-F on the site. Okay. As opposed to R-Jep, who's J-E-G-O-F-F? Or Fenn, who's a different judge. Yeah, all of the Jeffs. Who's Mojo PIN? By, we played the mall level, which is called Dead Center. And in the four hours, we played the third level, which is the mall level, we had to run through the whole thing and it's a super long level.

I think we played that level about two and a half hours. Oh, wow. I have no idea how many straight runs we did through it. But everybody by the end of it had about 70 deaths a piece Jesus by the end of the whole campaign man at some point you just have to be like all right I'm done. I can't go on anymore We reached that level about 15 times where we were just angry this game is terrible That's a thing that's the thing about that game, especially when you're getting beat down

You get beat down so badly like like at the moment after you get beat down. It's like man We didn't have a chance. We didn't have a chance. We're gonna do this again What I must be like with the Washington generals feel like every day Here we go. They're running with the ball Well, that's what happens got a ladder That's what happens when you're you even have that period of the gameplay where it's not good enough that you're dead you even have that period of the gameplay where it's not good enough that you're dead, you're incapacitated, where you're laying on the ground, and your friends aren't helping you. It's the only game that depances you before it kills you. It's the only game where it's like, ah, see? See? You suck. Watch. See? Can't do anything. You're hot.

The death is going to slowly last a minute and a half. Yep. Here's the portion of the gameplay where you learn to hate your friends. Yeah, where you know, where you know there's that possibility that if you had friends in the game, they would save you. We're going to give you a gun while you lie there, but it's not going to kill anybody. No, it's not going to do anything.

No, no, no, seriously, that's a complaint I have. That God damn fucking pistol. When you were laying there, how many times of you shot a zombie in the fucking face and it has nothing Let me taste them on realism mode you will be just Opening up on somebody with the machine gun while they're running at you and they make it all the way to you and Bob hits you once you know And you get there to get that little slap and you're in the mall and it's all these women zombies and you're like

Sweetie get a fucking job And it's all these women zombies and you're like sweetie get a fucking job So angry by the end of this I was like a loom Weaving a tapestry of vulgarity When I was on the ground when I was on the ground and these zombies are kicking me and hit me I was imagining their life story and yelling at them and screaming at them Meanwhile panting them you know muckeow are just trying to continue playing the game. Oh man. It's funny because that's almost similar experience when you're at the mall walking by the perfume counter. It's pretty much the same thing. You know what I like when I

play dead rising on the 360 when it first came out I found going to the mall afterwards to be a very creepy experience. Like you turn a corner and you just see a bunch of people in the middle of the hallway, that would creep me out. So you'd do the jaw thing, or you can't go into the water again. I couldn't do that. Do you think maybe did rising two will spook you on Vegas?

Absolutely not. No, I don't think anything. I think oceans 13 did that for me. Should we talk to, should we say, we saw the new hotel? Yeah, we flew, we connected, we flew out to San Francisco for work the other day and we connected in Vegas.

And as we were landing, we thought, holy shit, look, it Francisco for work the other day and we connected in Vegas and as we were landing We thought holy shit look at city center looks like it's done. We know when does it open? Oh it opens tomorrow Yeah, it opens the day after we connected through there is two billion or four billion eight billion dollar hotel casino Wow and it just opened up and have they sold out all the units because that was a place where they sold condos right right I don't know if they're all sold out I would guess no There's no bigger. They're skilled in searching back. Yeah, they did They make the building shorter than they initially had spec'd wow. That's an interesting concept

You just stop okay. Let's just cap it here. Yeah, well they moved it It was gonna be more by that circus circus right and then they had to move it further south towards the Mainstreet that would be the creepiest place in the world to have zombies circus circus circus right and then they had to move it further south towards the mainstreet that would be the creepiest place in the world to have zombies circus circus circus circus that would be creepy like Vegas clowns that'd be the worst then then yeah that'd be terrible it'd be great setting because you might like the Cirque de Soleil zombies that are oh they're all acrobatic and jumping up at you and four stories in the air. Goofy costumes. They work a skin type unit art and speaking in a French accent. What's the French word for brains?

That's a good question. What's the French word for brain? I think it's Germany. Oh, wow. Alright, and cut. We're on such a roll until we got into the political Eastern European humor. The political staff appointments in the US were hilarious. European? Not so funny. Not so funny. Not so much.

So what else do we do this weekend? We went to drunk Miss. You guys got off a plane in came. Yeah. I didn't. Gus why didn't you come? Because I went home and I fell asleep till 1 p.m. the next day. No. Hey. That's the day. I really? Yeah, but I went. No, I didn't. I fucking went home went to sleep. I, that's sort of die. Yeah, but I went. No, I didn't. I fucking went home, went to sleep, and woke up like 14 hours later.

Well, I can tell you, everyone missed you at the party. Gus, I'm sure they did. I was trying to like get a mob together to chase you down at your house, like torches, stuff. But I would have had shot it all year. I got home at 4 a.m. and then woke up and went to family Christmas the next morning. What time do you have to get up? I think I had to beat up it all evening. I got home at 4 a.m. and then woke up and went to family Christmas the next morning

What time do you have to get up? I think I had to beat up at about 8 30 Jesus. Yeah, I wasn't good What are you doing for Christmas Gus? I'm staying here in town. I think yeah, yeah, I'm watch. I'm I'm cat sitting for the Ramzies. Are you really? Yeah? That's your Christmas. That's my Christmas. I'm gonna spend Christmas in Jeff's underwear playing his Xbox You heard me right God, can you hide stuff all over their house like cheese in the air vent? Oh Jesus, let's do that. There's a little the ranger things right you still have those No, the little buzzers that I think I don't have any left now. I think I took one of them Yeah, I think I have one yeah, they found them all pretty quickly

Yeah, and then my kid found one of them and tortured me with it for a few weeks too. Karma. When I came into the office this weekend, everything at Brandon's desk was upside down. His keyboard was upside down. His mouse was upside down. Chair. Why is that? Yeah, I saw that this morning. His monitor was upside down too. And actually the cleaning crew was here and she came in and asked me and said, Hey, everything on brain is desks is upside down. When he walked in this morning, he walked in and he said, Why is my chair upside down? Well, I don't know why. I think Jack next morning, but I said to her, I said, It's either because he really doesn't want you to touch something on his computer. And that's his way of demonstrating that to you. Or it's because somebody else in the office is fucking with him, either way, just leave it

exactly how it is. And it turns out it was Jeff fucking with it. Yeah, Jeff and I came up here on Sunday, because Jeff is actually, he left for Alabama on Monday for vacation. And so him and I had to work on something, some achievement hunter stuff before he left. We'd record some VO. So I was sitting there getting the stuff ready to record and I look up and Jeff's flipping all of this stuff upside down. Yeah there was an upside down master chief helmet from the Halo 3 legendary collection on his desk as well

which I thought was a nice touch like perfectly balanced. Yeah it was really weird. It's Jocelyn Elders figurine. It's between it since we know Brandon doesn't listen to the podcast we can talk all kinds of shit. Oh yeah. So what was his reaction to get any reaction at all to his stuff being upside down? No, he was like, oh, my chair's upside down. Then he corrected that and he's like, oh, I'm on it or two.

Wow. That was that was pretty much spot on in his reaction to it. What a crazy prank. You really got me. See, I, one thing I miss about not having a lot of PCs on the office Jeff doesn't work on a PC And one of my favorite things in the world to do was to switch the keys on his keyboard They like the E and the R key just switch like pop them out. Yeah, pop them out and switch the letters So that every time he types a J he gets a K and vice versa. Jeff's not a touch high best. I don't know

Huh, you're not right. No, I'm not but how can you you're still a hunting pecker after You still hunt in pack after all these years. How long have you used a computer a keyboard? I mean 20 years 20 years and you still haven't memorized the keyboard. I mean I have it's probably pretty fast I just use two fingers on each hand. I don't type the way normal type You've all you stuff to look at it though not really if I blindfolded you right now and asked you to write a line Could you do it? Oh, yeah, I probably could but I probably make mistakes too. Yeah, okay I'm just saying if someone in this office asked another person in this office to get blindfolded Something's gonna happen. I was under the keyboards

so Just don't do that. In a masturbation row You know when I was when we were flying back from San Francisco this week and I saw in a computer magazine that I guess like the first motherboard has finally hit for the PCs that supports the USB 3.0 spec. No way, really. That's supposed to be some ridiculous throughput on that, right?

Yeah, it made me very curious to try to build a PC against to check it out. I don't remember where the throughput is on the top of my head. It's a couple gigabits. I was shocked to see some editing done and it was done like some video stuff we shot in high depth and capturing and editing it straight off of a Firewire 800 drive. I don't realize you could do that. Yeah, we have this little raid enclosure that connects to your Firewire 800

and that's awesome. Capture is great. You can edit the file. So you can capture directly to a firewire drive and then edit from that firewire drive in real time. It'll even support multiple streams of HD. I think it'll do 2 HD and like 2 SD streams at the same time. Is that because the hard drive itself is like a bad-ass drive? Yeah, okay, that probably is what it's able to really utilize. I think I can make a bit throughput. You know, it's funny to me, as I was the one doing that, I have no fucking idea what you guys are talking about. Well, that's why you take me on these trips trips Joel. I take care of that stuff for you. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep during the description.

I heard some numbers and some letters. So I bought tickets. I have three tickets to go see Avatar tomorrow night at 10 p.m. That movie, I don't know if it's not tonight. It's tonight or tomorrow. Well it would be Wednesday, yeah. We're recording this a day early. See Jack, we've explained this to you before. I don't know. you saw it. No, it's not as it's tonight or tomorrow. Well, it would be Wednesday. Yeah, we're recording this a day Erick C Jack we've explained this to you before I know he fucked it up Not I fucked it up Jack was doing the right thing. He was saying today. So I saw I would talk made $77 million this past week in Domestically no, I didn't 77 million. Yeah, I thought I made 220 world wide it did 236. Oh wow Wow Seventy-seven four and was one fifty nine. I also heard that I max cannot keep up with the capacity

For people that want to see this move. I heard that also well It seems like what did they have the same problem with dark night every movie that comes out on I max I can't keep up with capacity. I mean they release a movie about a bird taking a poop and I'm acts and they can't keep up with the capacity right what was a movie called? I want to see that well Let's go Batman. The bird taking a poop when we did get a lot of Oscar nominations. So that's going to fill it here.

There's some good early buzz. I particularly like the Nicole Kidman scene. There was a, there was a Nicole Kidman thing for drunk tank. What was it? Oh, we fucked up last week. Another retraction I had to use. What we do?

Remember we raised a stink about nine being nominated. Yeah, I yeah I immediately afterwards I caught that too. Yeah, we were thinking that nine was nominated for best picture But it was nominated for best animated film and why would nine be nominated for best picture and up was not Well, apparently there's a movie that's being released right now called nine N I N E and not nine nine the numeral nine which was the anime that's going to come out in the summer. It's the Rob Marshall movie. It's the guy who did Chicago. That doesn't help. It's a musical. It's a musical. It is. Yeah. It's got Daniel DeLewis and all like tons of female actors like Nicole Kidman, a Beyonce, uh, Fergie's in it and that uh, girl who was in the I can bet her to

It's like supposed to be like nine like nine women is the is the I guess the musical the working on and Daniel Day Lewis plays like a theater director who's trying to have his next big hit. He's after a few failures Oh, yeah, yeah, I know that you say that. I've seen the promos for that. Yeah, yeah, and he has no arms and legs, right? What? No, you know, I just recently saw that I've seen the promos for that. Yeah, yeah, and he has no arms and legs, right? What? No, you know, I just recently saw that I don't know who appointed it, but I read it on dig that There will be blood was awarded the best film of the decade really? Yes, it didn't even win Picture of the year. Oh, the best film of the day and it's here. It was beaten by it was beaten by no country for old men Right, which I would say would probably be up there for best movie

Yeah, I like no country for old men more than there will be blood. Yeah, I agree. I saw them within the same week too I think I did as well I did the thing last year which I'm gonna repeat this year where we went and saw every single Oscar nominated movie That's right. I saw a few of them picture nominated. Yeah, best picture. Thank you. There's ten this year keep that mine I really see many movies this year either. No. Well, do you okay here? Do you think up will be nominated for best picture? I think it should be. No, they won't because they said they fucked up And they made that animated category. That's true. It'll be nominated for that But it wasn't wasn't some foreign film nominated for best picture recently. I believe it was a touching tiger hidden dragon

Was nominated. No, I think it was a Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was nominated. No, I think it was life is beautiful. Life is beautiful. That won. Yeah, one best foreign film. It did not win Best Picture. But it was also nominated. Do you consider a slum dog millionaire to be a foreign film?

No. Okay, I think you're thinking about life is beautiful. No, no, I'm thinking of, um, shit, I can't think of it now. I don't think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was nominated for Best Picture. It's not crazy. Maybe a cool news best picture. No, no, no.'t think of anything. Nothing crouching tiger hid dragon was nominated for best picture. Calls it not easy. Maybe a cool news best picture. No, no, I thought it was.

Crouching tiger hidden dragon? Yeah, I thought I honestly thought I was nominated for best picture. I think rush hour three was nominated for best picture. I mean, am I wrong? Crouching tiger hidden dragon. It's not exactly. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not saying it's a good movie asshole.

I'm just saying. Oh, got nominated. There have been a lot of movies nominated for best picture that I disagreed with and some that like Absolutely should have been that we're not like it was nominated for best picture. What's my name in 2001? What was? Crouchy tiger hidden drag that's right. I just thought the whole system You know that's the thing like in the back of my mind. I was like, yeah, I think he's right, but we're all on the same page Yeah, sort of ridiculous. Oh, no, the one best art direction best cinematography Best foreign language film best music and it was nominated for like I was Joel Sugarcoating it for me I can be wrong. I'm comfortable back. I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about

So it was nominated one in best foreign picture and was nominated for best picture one in best foreign language film So is it change now also crouching tiger hidden dragon directed by Dr. Cooper. I think right? Yeah, I only saw like 20 minutes of that movie. So I guess, you know, I haven't seen all these other movies. That movie so because it's like it's been like an hour and a half telling one story and then all of a sudden they like pull you out and it's like, oh, here's this weird pirate in the desert plot story. You know, really? I don't get, I think it was the first movie to put people on like bungee cords

and then remove the bungee cords. That was like major. It's like fighting. Yeah, you know, and it's like, they're fighting on tree. And it looked, it's called what? It looked wire food. Why food?

It looked awful. I guess I'm the only one. I looked terrible. It looked ugly and dumb. I guess I'm ridiculous. I guess I'm the only one that liked that movie. So Joel, which parts did you see that you see the part where the tiger was crouching

or where the dragon was hiding? I don't know. I just wanted my money back. I like it. I like it. Pan's labyrinth. That's the movie I was thinking of. That may, that, that, that pan's labyrinth getting nominated for her best picture. I'm gonna say no. I, I, I really doubt that.

I'm gonna look it up to be nice, but I don't think so. I don't think it was, but that's what I had in my head that I was trying to think of. Absolutely. And then the correct answer came out by accident. That's what I had in my head that I was trying to think of. Absolutely not. And then the correct answer came out by accident. That's awesome. You shouldn't have corrected yourself. You would have seemed totally smart for once.

And now I'm going to look at what I and DB and see what life is beautiful got. It was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. Okay. What was? Uh, pants and laparind. Okay. Let me tell you what life is beautiful. Roberto Benini won for Life is Beautiful.

I remember that because he was the one who was bouncing around on stage. He's like, I'm like a dog in my tail is wagging. Yeah. Oh, he won Best Actor. Yeah. It won Best Foreign Language film. And it was nominated for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Film Editing, and Best Writing, I guess original screenplay. So, so that that sets a precedent that if up was going to get nominated for Best Picture, it could also be nominated for best animated picture. That is true. Yeah, but the vote, but I don't know. Would you give the people who vote and nominate the stuff in a credit to realize that precedent

and to make it apply? I think people are very prejudiced against animated features. Yeah, that's true. And wouldn't consider them for best picture. I agree. I agree. It's a different art form. But hey, avatars and animated film Basically, we'll see you think that's unjustified

That animated films would be in a different category than yeah, I don't I don't agree with that I think now I think I think whatever the best movie is no matter how it's made or whatever should be the best movie That's nothing. I agree with that. Let me put it to you this way What if the movie was released on television like a movie of the week? No, that doesn't matter. I say that to be not for best movie. I thought the whole premise was theatrical release. Yeah, I think I think I'm with Gus on this one. I think as long as it's really theatrically for me. So that's the line. The line is theatrical. If something appears in a movie theater, it should all be in the same category. I think so. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. What about I'm X films like bird poop some perplex? I think that's a good question. Haven't

some of the documentaries been for my Macs? Yeah, I put them in there. Yeah. I don't know if you've been to many iMacs movies, but they're pretty shitty. Yeah, I've seen my share. I mean, you get away with a lot because it's just a big friggin screen, but the dinosaur platypus movie that looks like you know, somebody's narrated by Morgan Freeman. Right, but the dinosaur platypus movie that looks like you know somebody narrated by Morgan Freeman right but the the visual effects look like somebody seen your project you know like at full sail or something like that I remember no offense maybe it doesn't hold up on a 800 foot screen but yeah I remember seeing an iMacs film when I was a kid about like NASCAR and they had like

put an iMacs on on the front of a NASCAR vehicle and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world yeah there. There was some kind of when I first joined Twitter, one of the first big movements was people were upset about iMacs franchising their name and they weren't in theaters that were really truly iMacs. Do you know about this? I know exactly. Jack, can you explain it? Basically what they were doing was they were selling the iMacs experience which is big screen and really all they were doing was moving the screen closer to the audience to give you that more overwhelming effect. And so they were basically selling their name as the iMac's experience when really it was a normal screen just you were closer to it.

I love it. Because iMac's... I love it. Basically you get shittier seats and that's iMac. Yeah, iMac sells better than I'm closer Your eye is at the maximum closer closeness I max I can see what people misunderstood the marketing But yeah, I remember yeah a lot of people got pissed off about that. I don't really think it really happened with that Like that tends to be the trend was like there's a huge uproar about something and then it just kind of

Anishes yeah, it talks about it anymore I remember there was one in San Antonio that was an iMac's theater and it's not a real iMac's theater Yeah, and there's very few actual iMac's Feeters, you know when you mentioned that Twitter outcry reminded me I read the other day in a wired magazine Like someone had like I guess like it's like a ask the internet knowledgeable person and someone wrote in and said I changed my Twitter icon green back during the Iranian protests. When is it okay to turn it back to my normal class? Without a face.

Now you would mention that, right? Months ago. Yeah, the pseudo-political activism is, right. There is a moment in time when you have say, I'm not really all that into this anymore. Yep. So the person asked and then like, I guess the wire has a like a columnist who answers these kinds of questions and he answered. That was one of the questions he answered. You stick with it. No, he was his answer his answer was You could take it down at any time because honestly that you know that doesn't matter

He said you're obviously more interested in having like this pseudo Cool do nothing approach to activism versus putting boots on the ground and actually doing something activism So why don't you go do something instead? The wired guy said that? Yeah. Who knows to that guy? Yeah, so he said, why don't you get in touch with our organization and your town and actually do something? That's right.

So the question was, when is it appropriate to take it down? The answer is, you're a fuckbag. The answer, the answer was the anytime, because it doesn't matter. The answer is you're a fuckbag. Do something you do. Yeah, it's like, thanks for asking, bitch. Here's the explanation. I mean, it really is. It's almost like we acknowledge that this is taking place

But this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna wear green shirts Can you imagine like the troops in World War 2 marching by Concentration camps and saying look we're all wearing this ribbit and like see what we're doing exactly Why don't you bust down the fence for us? No, no, look, purple shirt. We're good. We're going that way. Sorry, you're in the other direction. Yes, sorry, bud.

This seems like, you know, good luck. We're there with you, solidarity. Oh, hey, so I met some modern warfare two boycotters when I was in San Francisco. I was out there checking out bad company too. Oh, yeah. And I met some guys from PC guys that were like yeah Yeah, we're in the the monor warfare two boycott So they hadn't bought the game. I supposedly not they claimed they hadn't and then but not to say they didn't download it

What was their argument? They're argument was the lack of server support for the PC. They're like fuck it. We're not playing anymore It's like they were really really intense about it And I was like really that's that big of a deal like oh, dude, do we play mods all the time? And we do all this stuff? I'm like, all right. And they're really, really intense about it. Now, they've embraced other games because of that. In the same sense, though, that's real action.

Yeah. And they're sticking to it. The problem is, if you actually had the number of people who signed the petition go through with the action, let's say, for instance, you want to keep Dollhouse on the air. If the number of people who signed the petition took the effort to watch, like say, for instance, you want to keep dollhouse on the air. If the number of people who sign the petition took the effort to watch the show, the show would be on the air, you know?

And likewise, they might make a change if they lost any of these things. How many people sign that petition? I think, I'm gonna guess and say probably 80,000. Yeah, that's something. I don't, I don't know if 80,000 would be enough. No. In that particular case, maybe not, you know? I think it might have been more for that one. But those people, it's a longer term thing. Those people become

a much longer tail audience. I mean, games like Halo 3, which is now three years old, the dedicated fan base is there's hundreds of thousands of people online playing the game at any given moment. Well, the funny thing with these guys were I was talking to them later about PC versus Xbox gaming and like my sort of philosophy is I'd rather be on a comfortable couch with a nice TV like surround sound. That's when I play my games. That's how I like playing my games as opposed to sitting in front of a computer with a mouse and keyboard.

And so, and then these guys were like, oh yeah, well, you know, I played, you know, I played in a modern warfare one on my Xbox and then on my computer, and I liked it on the computer a lot better. And I was like, oh, you paid for both? Or like, oh no. And it's like, I'm just sitting there like, you know, I just, it's what are, really? I mean, you're not, god damn it. And then, you know, here we are to a game developer playing a game. And it's like, come on, man.

You know, that drives me nuts. But you and I had a conversation about this about pirating software and stuff recently. And it's, at some point, you just stop doing it, you know that's that drives me nuts But you and I had a conversation about this about pirating software and stuff recently And it's at some point you just stop doing it, you know, it's a point you stop doing. Yeah, you just have to yeah Well, you don't have to but if you have any sort of morals you have to a lot of people that you know don't but But there's a lot of people don't see that the inherent problems with that and that that's what drives me crazy Yeah, you know, I mean, you can't bemoan the death of PC gaming when you're the one pirate. Yeah, absolutely. Like the example you gave those guys.

Yeah, and it's just like, come on, man, really? On a more practical level, I mean, that's a lot of theoretical discussion of what will happen and what won't. I got back into PC gaming and I got my system set up to where I could run PC games. I asked the site to help me out pick a video card, which by the way, after going back into PC gaming, having been out for a little while, it's impossible. Like, you read the system requirements and says, this should be better than a G496 IQ card. I'm like, what the hell? I don't know what level that is. How do I know what's better than that? And so I

finally could find people to help me pick a video card. Got it set it up downloaded steam and that is probably right now the saving grace of PC gaming. Really? It's really cool. I mean, steam's an awesome system because you buy your games through there and you can download them directly or not download them. And then the sounds like I'm doing a commercial. I'm going to have the counter argument as soon as you're done. Okay. And then, you know, you can use it as a launch interface for everything.

And then it has community, it has achievements like the Leford Dead 2 achievements in Steam. You can break it out into more detailed information like what weapons haven't you used for the all weapons used achievement or, you know, what campaigns have you finished which ones you haven't. So it's a lot better. And of course, games like Team Fortress 2, which are completely different on the PC in a much better way than course games like team fortress two which are completely different on the PC in a much better way Than they are on the Xbox you know, I love steam

But I have had a problem with it recently we have a couple of legacy PC still here in the office and One of them through steam someone here in the office bought grand theft auto for Download it installed it they ran it just fine then one day all of a sudden they tried to launch it. It doesn't work anymore I went through I right clicked on it, I told steam to verify all the files, it verified everything, tried to launch it again, still won't launch, rebooted, still won't launch, deleted the local files, re-download the grant theft out of four, still won't launch. Really? It just gives like a DLL error and it refuses to launch anymore. And so, no, it's money gone. I can't get to work with steam. I can't, I can't, I mean,

I've already reinstalled it through the digital method. I don't know what else to do. That is the thing right there Right, where it's just like it's just not gonna work It's just totally fucked up now screw it and then that's just another reason for me why I'll never you know I don't play computer games. I mean that's that's what remind me that's what I like when that happened I said this is why I've given up on PC game and second of all I mean that makes me not excited about digital delivery anymore What if it doesn't work? What do you what do you do? What do you mean like digital delivery through like Xbox live? It's such a closed system. I think you know, you're not gonna run nearly as that many issues, you know

Yeah, because everyone that's again another another reason why I love Xbox so much It's everyone's on the same platform absolutely, you know, Bernie could have a $10,000 PC and I could be running on my old 486 Absolutely, and you're gonna dominate me Where as like, you know, if I'm on my Xbox and you're on an Xbox we have the same machine although Although Bernie's screen is the size of like a warehouse Hopefully because you're something monitors and stuff like Xbox monitors But they're at least they're actively doing things that try to you know curtail those people right?

Yeah, where's PC gamers like you know welltail those people right yeah where it's PC gamers like you know well there's the others cheaters out there good luck you know I think it's dying so I actually don't play on my projecture all that much either times that I'll play on a small little LCD screen like we have here just because it's a you think it'd be better but it's not necessarily that that much better you know it's kind of like the iMacs thing we just get closer you know put your face right against the TV is that a better way You know, it's kind of like the I'm X thing. We just get closer, you know, put your face right against the TV. Is that a better way to play? Not really. No. The equivalent of moving your face closer to a smaller screen is not the equivalent of playing

on a giant screen, senior. It's identical to playing a cowboy stadium. It's the exact same thing. I had a crazy experience watching a Cowboys game the other day where they had a shot a wide shot of the field and In that frame was the full HD screen and I found myself watching the screen on the screen We were doing the same thing like what we watch a bit of the basketball game right? Texas for suancy. Yeah, and the HD screen was bigger than the court. Yeah it was literally longer than the basketball court. If like one pixel per person, it was ridiculous. You can have like a one-to-one mapping of the actual molecules on the court and in the air.

But I mean on the TV it's weird because you're saying what the TV is showing me, that TV on the TV has a better resolution than the TV that I want. It's like when you put two mirrors together, do you get that like weird vortex thing? It was kind of like that. Did you see yourself within the TV in the TV? I wasn't used to sitting on the couch. It was really, it was pointing back at you. And then that vortex sucked in the Cowboys playoff chance.

That's basically it. Dude, they beat the Saints this week. What happened there? That was due to happen, though, because I think the Saints pulled out a couple, not easy, I shouldn't say, but they were kind of lucky victories. Yeah. Like, did you see that when they had against the Redskins? Yeah, God, good.

I can't believe it. That was a combination of odd luck and weird mismanagement by the Redskins. We're basically like the Saints throw an interception directly. I can't remember what it was directly into the hands of the Redskins defensive back and catches the ball and he runs back. And then like the Saints wide receiver just walks up to him and just like, I'm going to take the ball and put some effort down. It's like what? It was two change of possessions and a touchdown in one play.

Jesus. So if we're talking about sports, let's just, let me throw this out there. Vince Young and the Titans are now at 500. They started the 0 and 6 and now they're 7. And you know it was weird and you saw like Ricky Williams and on the same field right? Yeah. And one of those game the only game that Vince Young lost was to the Colts. The undefeated Colts.

Right. That's fantastic. I am so happy to see you. I am on the Tennessee Titans bandwagon. Hell yeah man. I am on the Tennessee Titans. I love those guys. And this anger's Bernie to know and Yeah, what I grew up as a Houston oil. Oh, okay, and so they took don't take it out on Vince

I'm not taking on events. I'm taking on a butt at a terrible Tennessee Titans Organizations love that video. I mean Lincoln off the crowd. Oh was that in Houston when you're flicking off the crowd? No, I'm it's probably Tennessee who cares? He always flicks off people give money and support and Fat old fuck. I Mean I've never in my life heard of a team moving cities and then it disappears even the Browns Move to Baltimore and then they got the Browns back later. We'll eventually We have the oilers name is gone. I mean there's another team in Houston now the jazz even moved to Utah And there's still the jazz. Yeah, the fucking Los Angeles L Lakers nothing like better than when I go to Los Angeles visiting the lake

I mean they just got rid of the oilers as a team I followed my whole life and that's why I don't want to pro football Yeah, what what are the Rams gonna move you get to think what is LA gonna pick up the Rams you think again? I don't know I mean LLA would be this seems like you know Why is there not a professional football team in LA? I know they had one because because I think they have a problem getting the stadium Situation out of it is I think that's what I think that's what it is. What they play in the colosseum every or they'd have to build one That's the thing every I think every owner who's willing to do it or whatever like okay We'll play the colosseum, but I want 200 yeah Yeah, whatever. You know, to upgrade the Coliseum. That's another thing, man.

Why do we get pro sports so much goddamn money? I don't have any other business where the taxpayers have to pay for their place of business. Well, that's like the superdome. Like the superdome was rebuilt on taxpayer money. Right. And all of it, all of it's the premise of like, oh, well, if something goes wrong, we can use it

as an emergency building. 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, yeah, which, you know, I mean Katrina, that was the most useful that building's been in 40 decades. Yes, up until the season. I don't think it's 40 decades old. Just for Lewis and Clark came across from Mississippi, they found the super dome. The Indians had fashioned it together with sticks and concrete. And then the colonial side yielded dome. The super dome would have been an interesting investment. I wonder how much you could have bought the super dome for right after Katrina Oh, man, just if you would I think the repairs were some like three hundred million dollars I believe it and of that like the guy who owns the saints ended up paying like 10 million out of pocket and the rest was all government bailout stuff Well, come on. That's a national emergency. It's not like a bailout because he has a bad team I mean that was a natural disaster

They they they had a couple seasons where they probably could have Well, no, that was the thing too is like they were nervous that the Saints were I mean the Saints been a whole season Not at home and they're like they were nervous that the Saints were just gonna move like Oklahoma or wherever else They think you think the end of well, maybe not maybe not the Saints But you think the NFL generally probably wants a team in the LA, you know? Oh yeah, absolutely. Just based on some of the footage that I saw and some of the stories that I read,

I bet 200 million of the 300 million was spent on bleach. That's what I was thinking. I was gonna make the joke, but I thought it might be inappropriate. I wouldn't have, I'm glad you made it though. That place was so just, and it's nothing against, I mean, a clearly horrible situation,

and no plumbing. And that bleach comment was like really before the flood really just to clean up a lot of the damage was done before. Just to clean up the 1990s. Oh, and 18 right over that much. Yeah. No, yeah, I've heard that you said no plumbing and just too many people in there. And I mean, I can't imagine being trapped in a situation like that. No, and it was in what August in New Orleans. August in September.

God, I smell in there. Just all the humanity. Yeah. Yeah. Man, how many people were in there? Does anybody not off the top of their head? I don't know. I know they had rated it a certain amount of people. I was probably twice that. The only thing I remember from that specifically was just how first of all Katrina clearly defined what a thin line there is between civilization and just raw mayhem you know it was it was instant decline I mean remember people were sniping hospitals did you know that no the super dome sheltered 26,000 people wow that's probably better average attendance than a normal saints game. Well,

not anymore. Not anymore before this year. What's capacity in there? Like what? I'm guessing? I really, what a request to ask. Like all the Katrina, they're gonna go sit in the seat. No, no, they're gonna sleep in the seat. No, I mean, like thinking about it, like if there's a hundred thousand people, there's only 80,000 seats. I mean, that's gotta be uncomfortable. But even with the, I mean, you're sitting in a state of her very short period of time. Yeah, if they feel that you're sitting in a seat for four days, that's not a good thing. It's like a sitting like in an airplane, but like worse. Yeah, with no electricity and no plumbing.

A rolling stone's concert in the 80s attracted 87,000 people in there. Wow. Wow. Wow. The football seating capacity is about 70,000. I think government officials got to that rolling stone concert pretty quickly. And now, no problems. It took him a week to get to the Super Dome. Was that right?

Yeah, someone got to. And the crazy thing about that was the first time I heard about Katrina, we were at PAX, like PAX number three, back when it was still at the Maiden Mowder Center. And we were out of town and we were about to fly back and some kid I remember he had a big sword on his back. He was a cosplayer He said how you guys can get back to Austin and we're gonna fly since you're not gonna fly There's a hurricane coming and it's about to destroy New Orleans

What is this kid talking about? Hurricane is gonna destroy New Orleans. Yeah, there's a hurricane coming and it's gonna put New Orleans completely underwater I think you're full of shit Forties later that her cane hit and then it was three or four days after that the flooding started because the ledby started to break and Then a week after that that the government got there to help those people and I'm thinking how does the kid with the sword on his back Know about this how to separat No, yeah You know how does the Japanese video game character that I'm talking to you about this and the government is not prepared to handle?

And that dude's an asshole. Oh man. I remember that kid also and then we got to the airport when we were leaving Seattle and they had the weather on. And we saw it. You see this giant storm in the Gulf? It's like holy shit. Sephiroth was right. He was. I was living in Orlando at the time of Katrina actually I had a roommate in the Orlando from New Orleans and like I and I had no idea it was gonna be that big of a deal like no one did and then all of a sudden it was like

This was like the perfect storm like this will hit and destroy the city and it's like oh shit Dude you might want to get a hold of your parents and it was it was like really weird and then it hit and like he lost touch with his family and it's like and he just up and drove to New Orleans he got in his car and drove away he was like all right I'm out piece I really wonder if you tried to drive there what that experience would have been like to try to drive and probably would have been stopped in what I can see their Alabama and Mississippi right what they have but they blocked the freeway I would assure they did block the freeways, but you know, and he could have gotten into Louisiana,

but I'm sure once he got near the city. Oh, yeah. Well, it was all flooded. I mean, you've seen those photos of downtown that were just like, in Cleveland or water. Yeah. You know, there's a recent settlement or some kind of judgment where they blame the entire thing on the Army Corps of Engineers.

Yep. I did hear about that. Some court did that. I don't know what the Corps of Engineers. Yep, I did hear about that. Some court did that. I don't know what the jurisdiction of that court is, but... Yeah, I'll have to first step in, essentially, then, now the government paying damages to people who were part of the flood. Yeah, I'll have to find the link for that.

I do remember reading something about that a couple of weeks ago. Did you read, did you listen to the podcast last week? No, I haven't listened to it yet. Okay, we had a funny story that you'll probably appreciate where there was a consumerist story about Delta or some American Airlines. There was a, I guess a stewardess who went on a rampage. Oh, yeah, I heard about that. And that Delta, after the story was posted, offered people who were on the flight gold status on Delta for free. Right, right. To switch to Delta. And we were making a joke that why don't we just say we were on the flight and get gold status on Delta?

How would they check that? Well, I'm sure Americans not gonna give them the manifest for the flight. I mean, if 10,000 people said, yeah, I was on the flight and Delta then shows them, he goes, hey, American, can you verify the field? American will go, nope, sorry. None of those people were on the flight.

Or they would go, yep, all of them were. Yeah, we had a 10,000 C747. You don't have those over a Delta, no, those people were on the fly or they would go yep all of them were yeah, we had a 10,000 see 47,000 We put wings on the Superdome And we flew it to Columbus and back did you all talk about the new 787 last week dream line? No it had its first like Takeoff test it actually had left the ground for the first time last week I think. Yeah? All right, pretty cool. Tell me if this is exciting, Bernie. I'll be getting it.

Tell me if this is exciting. You're going to your plane, going back from San Francisco, and you're walking up to the gate. You're with two other guys. You look at the plane. It's the Shammu plane. You already tried to get me excited about that, but not the least.

I was so excited. I was so happy. We did the Shammu plane. We did not fucking carry. Yeah, I was like, come on. It's the Shammu plane. We were like, all right, awesome. My only memory did the shamu we did not fucking carry jackas like come on It's the shamu planer like all right awesome Yeah, my only memory of the shamu plan was the dude pointing his finger at me telling me not to bring on my giant alcoholic drink on Oh

The gate that we were all trying to sneak booze onto the plane because we had a layover in Vegas It's I was he looked at us and he's like that soda in there right guys Yes, and then we thought about as oh no, it's's like, that's soda in there, right guys? Yes? And then we thought about it as, oh no, it's not alcohol, it's soda. We're not flying. What do you care? They probably want you to share with the pilot. We weren't flying America with. Oh no, we did shots with the pilot. What was the airline that had the Shamu plane? That was Southwest. Southwest. It's always been. That was the thing.

How many Shamu planes are there? Is there only one? There's none that I care about. I mean why why did you have that information in the entire window facing did break off? No, that was the second that was the shame of playing no We were sitting in the exit there was a truck in the exit row like we always do or whatever I like my leg up over and my foot touches the wall and the entire window facing cracks off. We're 10,000 feet at this point and all of a sudden it gets a lot colder for where I'm sitting. It was ridiculous.

Well, that's frightening. It was like the sort of sealed thing around the window and popped. And then we call the flight attendant over and we're like the window to spell a part on the plane. She looks at it and she goes, man, it's an old plane. Just bang it back on there. She really said that. She's awesome.

No, she was actually really cool on there. She really said that. She knew. She's awesome. No, she was actually really cool flight attendant. Like, we talked before. Like, if you're an actor, there's certain moments in your life where it's like, how would I behave? How would that feel if that happened? Yeah. You know, and that was, that was, it happened.

That is like, that for me was like, the wing just fell off. How do I feel? No, see, you can add that to your, your sort of acting cue. You can go to that place in your head when you have to hit that emotional. I was pretty okay with it, actually. Yeah. So what you're saying is that the airline that paints their plane like a giant whale didn't do the best job of maintenance. That seems odd to me that their priorities wouldn't be focused strictly on maintenance of the whale shaped. If I'm gonna be in an airplane crash,

models will be in one where you're a giant killer whale. Yeah, if you play in water as a shaman. I don't know, so giant whale, hit that barn. You fly over a kid who's like, on his arm and the air just jumping. He's like, yeah! There's a lot of confusion. And if I was, if I were in the airline, I would fuck with people at just a purpose.

Like, I would drive one of those little buggies outside. I would bring one up like filled with a trailer full of fish. I just just drive to the front of the plane and now explain why. Throw it. Throw it at the cockpit. I'm going to fish it the window. You want a little road tip that I always do when I get on a plane? What's that?

Alright, when you're getting on the plane, which I don't understand the traffic of getting in and on planes They act like it's a big fucking rush and everyone's just standing and They're bumping each other and everything but when you're getting on the plane when you're in the doorway at the Front of the plane there will be a plate almost like the Vin plate on a car and you can check the information on the plane You can check the manufacturer date of the plane. Yeah, normally when you come in it's immediately to your right I believe or over your head. Oh, sometimes yeah, but usually it's on the right side and it depends on the makeup on the plane, you can check the manufacturer date of the plane. Yep, normally when you come in it's immediately to your right, I believe. Or over your head.

Oh, okay. Sometimes, yeah, but usually it's on the right side and it depends on the make of the plane. It'll be a little flight and it'll be engraved there saying, manufacturer date. If you stress, wow, this plane is older than I am. You know, the majority of the 737s are pretty old, right? Yeah, I don't, yeah, yeah, they're made like the 60s and same. They still make that plane, I'm pretty sure, but they're, I mean, they can be you up pretty old.

I don't think the 60s old, but I think late 70end. You said the dream liner's best to replace the 737 I think so looking at a diagram here the dream liner is bigger than a 737 but smaller than a 777 It seems like a bad thing to do at this point in history to create vehicles that use more fuel No, that's like the dream liner uses less. No, but in this particular case where I would be right, more fuel. Try. Yes. Theoretically, it's a plane that doesn't exist. Well, no, we all know the 7371 best picture.

We did. From the awesome. It was also a form. That's why the fact it's a foreigner. So I've been wrong. Can you keep it count? Tally, how many times I've been wrong? I have this podcast.

Hey, what are we doing about the, by the way, though, if this thing hadn't been recorded, we would be in a locked up battle with Bernie over the next four weeks. Probably. Over what? Over all this. Yeah. Everything. I got, I got a damn argument with Matt and, and Jeff about a neighborhood and whether a neighborhood was a good neighborhood or not, and I had to come back to the next admit that I was wrong. So I'm, I'm trying to get better, you know. Hey, what are we doing about the, the, the pole thing we did in the podcast last week? I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm trying to get better, you know. Hey, what are we doing about the poll thing we did in the podcast last week? I'm like about that. I'm gonna, yeah, I got some more nominations from the we missed the big one. Out one, we just cover that now. We're gonna talk about we nominated our for our drunk tag awards.

We're doing nominations for the best movie of the year, the best trailer of the year, the best TV show, video game and best video game of the year. And we came and internet video. We came and internet video. We came down to six nominees and the video game of the year and we came and internet video we came down to six nominees and the only thing that the the the fans suggested that we missed out on was the two things they said a few people said for TV show We should have nominated how I met your mother great show and I agree with that because we didn't nominate that never seen it We nominated V and Dexter and the office South Park and Lost lost. Thank, thank you. And so we're going to add probably how we met your mother

into that. And the other thing was with a huge miss, we had for best trailer, we missed the ODST live action trailer. Oh, man, that was great. Yeah, somehow. So that will, you know, the long form of that trailer was awesome.

Because they had like three different versions. I liked the shorter one. Really? I like the shorter one too. I like the really I like the one I like the shorter one too I like the really long one where's like the kid is like as a kid and you know Training and then in his first battle under buddy, and he's like the main guy. I wonder who the ad firm on that Yeah, that there was a shorter. That's what we're talking about. No, that's the long one. No, there's a longer one than that Really? Yeah, no, that's like that one was like two and a half minutes long is the one I'm talking about

Yeah, I think that's it. I mean, there's a longer one than that. How long is that I think it's like three 15 second I don't have it's nominated for best form film The guys who made that I think are the guys who made the Halo diorama once for Halo three. Oh, that one was the believe ads or more specifically the museum of humanity That's that was so awesome when that the like the diorama one the very end, that little master chief head just turned, that little subtle move was so cool. I thought it was awesome. You really buy into some really to me stuff

that's kind of obvious. Like that's- Like Shemu playing? Like when I watch it, I think, I think, oh, they're just trying to make it look cool. And you're like, cool. Like, you're just a jaded Bernie. I guess maybe I am, you know?

Well, you've worked in advertising now for how many years No, I try not to do that though. I try I think I have a pretty good ability to suspend my disbelief But there's certain moments and things where I don't think like I'm seeing too much the director Yeah, I think I think all of us here at the office of Bernie has been the least touched by the ad work. Yeah, I really I think that's a good thing I mean, I think I've been less touched by filmmaking in general. Like, I don't, I had a discussion with Gavin. I don't sit in a movie theater and think how they do that, how they do that, how they do that. I just kind of like watch the movie.

Yeah, look at that explosion. Yeah. You know, but there are moments I think feel heavy-handed. Like, that felt heavy-handed to me, and you loved it. You know, I love it. I don't think it was, I didn't think it was heavy-handed. I think it was obvious. What else could they do? They had to do that. In moment that that's the moment that had to be right did you see when someone took that commercial and added the

Arby and the chief sound to it? The head turn is all all all commercial. Lee and his all Is there anything else we want to talk about before we wrap up the short drunk tank this week? Well, I was hoping in my discussion of fuel you missed a segue there They you're gonna talk about thorium. Yeah, I really want to talk about thorium But I've got a lot a lot to say about that. You were so psyched about that. I am still I'm gonna be talking about this for the next year I think you think so. Yeah, he's on a thorium. I make I make quit and go back to school to become a Thorium engineer. Yeah, that'd be pretty good probably worth it. You'll move to China where they're you know fine or India I hear there is a new civilization because I mean it really could be you know if you need to excuse for another world war Thorium

That sounds like straight out of like command and conquer Desire in him. Well, I didn't even realize Thor story. I was real like I mine it in a while the time I'm like holy shit that's real Do you know? Do you know what the the stuff is in Avatar? They're trying to get hey? Hey, okay look I don't know this is no hit it Jack No, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah The name of it not how the fast boiler Go ahead say so many people haven't seen the movie yet because people like me who are waiting to see it on a big screen

Yeah, I can't even see it yet knowing the name of the thing they're trying to get will not affect at all the movie I don't want to know anything about it. I don't want to go on with it. Hey, hey, learning blue people on it Jack no means no when I hear when I hear the name of it in the movie, I don't want to think about you going, oh, the name is rockatorium or something like that. That's funny, that's the name of it. You mean I'm by my copy rating, rockatorium. You know, to me, like all the, everything that I've seen, that I've ever seen, like all the creatures and stuff,

kind of remind me of the, like all the creatures out of Fred Flintstone. I just said that, and Ben sent me a spoiler for Avatar and Amy. Just look at it. Right after I said that, Ben sent me a fucking spoiler for Avatar. That's awesome. How nice. I think people just want to say that they've seen it and they want to prove that they've seen it by telling you something about it that they don't think will ruin it, but I don't

want to know anything about it. Okay. There's very few event movies. Of all the movies. The only thing. Of all the movies to throw that down on, this seems like a silly movie to do that on Well, I think the fact was that like they were advertising this was a game changer like this movie's gonna change the future of filmmaking Mm-hmm

And that's what kind of ruined the movie for me. I was expecting something huge and it's a good movie I honestly got a warchie past that by the time you saw it. I mean, I think maybe I've got bored of it I think that maybe they did a lot for the technology-wise. Yeah. On the creation side versus the entertainment side, that makes sense. I mean, you say $500 million movie, and then I'm like, it looks like a Pixar movie. I think they developed a lot of new camera technologies

and 3D workflows that were impossible before. And I think they've streamlined the process a lot, and they did a lot easier. Look at this kiss and camera zest over here. What's the story here? that were impossible before and they've, I think they've streamlined the process a lot and made it a lot, a lot easier. Look, there's kiss and camera in that. What's the story here? Uh, we're a big, we're a big abyss fan. Yeah, I was a huge abyss fan. I hear, I hear the camera is making a thorium documentary stand, so Gus wants to be a first one. We're, we're, we're still in talks. Gus found out about this mineral called thorium spoiler that, uh,

can apparently be used instead of uranium to fuel nuclear power plants So if you want to go read about it, I'm sure Gus will have a lot to say about it on the next podcast Yeah, it's not to fuel like existing nuclear plants is to make a new type of nuclear power plant That's much more efficient much more efficient much cheaper and much safer. Yes. I think we should put a leash on the sun Pull it closer when it's cold call it the eye the I max Sun experience Get up in its grill. Why not? The only way solar energy is when you do it, you're done.

That's it. I mean, the sun goes out. Fuck it. We're dead anyway. You know? Who cares? What's up with all the snow in Northeast? What's going on there? I don't know. Snow. Yeah, right? I mean, it's... People get trapped. Tim Lee from the Alamedraft House is trapped up in New York City for like three extra days. Wow.

Shrapped. I'm sure it's not as dire as it sounds. Well, I mean, like, you know, you have to go book another hotel and you have to get all your, you know, if you're not prepared for it, you could be screwed. I left to order some room service at the Ritz Carlton. Yeah. For eight. Yeah.

Poor Tim. Basically what we're saying is Tim Leak is dead. Uh, speaking of dead people though, Brittany Murphy actually is dead. That's weird. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I don't like when people around my age die I was around your age. I Didn't want to say younger because 72 is my birdies old 32 fucking old Round I was watching I was on playing while last night I had my TV on and I had an old episode of Saturday Night Live on from like two weeks ago

It was the one where Blake Lively hosted and during the weekend update they mentioned the film that she got kicked off of. Like she recently was on a film in the director base that said we don't want you on anymore. He fired. And then they had who is it? Abby Elliott come on Chris Elliott's daughter and she was doing a Brittany Murphy impression and I was like, it's a killter. Oh God. Like think about like like Abby Elliott. Like you were just pretending to be her making fun of her on TV. Now she's dead. Like now you can never pretend to be your again on a cell. Please don't please don't make fun of me. Well, if I all did a Harry Carey after he was dead, right? Yeah, but that's more of a yeah, but everybody saw that coming for about 10 years. Yeah, it's like, I mean, it was like, man, I can't believe he's still alive. Good for him. Yeah, Harry Carey's an old was an old. Yeah, yeah, but I mean like I don't even see now.

They're like the last game I remember seeing with him. It was like the picture strikes out the hitter and the catcher catches the ball and of course throws the ball. The third basement like they do to throw it around. And he cares like, oh, it smashed the third base. Oh, he catches it. It was like everybody, everybody to see TV knew

it was a strikeout, but oh I saw Cliff once where it was like a pop fly out in the center field is like oh it could go all the way It was like clearly not at all going Maybe when all the way to center field You might be the thing Joel saying is like the net result is still an out Harry curious game was a lot more exciting What it was and we you know it gave the game depth, you know It's like what you could see and also hear a different thing that was in it.

It was, you know, it was all smiling. You know, we were all smiling. Very curious. You're watching a different game. It is. He's doing play by getting this like play for this game. You're going to totally different game experience if you're watching it on TV versus listening to it on the radio.

It's the greatest season ever. I don't think we've ever mentioned this anywhere. And there'd be no reason to, and I hate to even say it because of the circumstances of this week, but actually, Brittany Murphy, she was one of the only people we ever gotten in contact with for playing a voice on Red vs. Blue back in the early days. Yes, I was wondering if you were going to bring that up. I had forgotten about that until I read that she died.

Yeah, and she was, it was a weird thing where somebody knew somebody, who knew somebody, and we showed her the script for Sheila the Tank. This is way back when Red vs. Blue was just starting. And they ended up, her people and everybody ended up passing on it. And she wound up playing Tucker, right? That's the play stucker. But yeah, so that was kind of interesting. And I didn't even know at the time that she had done voice work. It was just... Was that before African in the hill?

The King of the Hill had already been on for several years. I'm assuming. The Hill started in 97. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. So this was 2003. This probably would have been about May of 2003.

But it's just a weird connection, you know what I mean? It was, it never really went anywhere. And I wouldn't have put it anywhere in the list of probable things that could have happened Yeah, but just just an odd connection. We were talking about this a lunch I'll throw it up to you guys if if you were gonna cast someone anyone in Filmmaking or whatever to be a character on red versus blue who would you want to be in red versus blue? I'm a cast as a hero and as a villain Like I said as the villain and as the hero. I think I'm a good voice actor

I think you could do him You have the range like who like who would you want to get on the show to come on this But like even like a guest dance or anything like a season or something. James Earl Jones. Oh, that'd be great What yeah, James Jones, man I was saying it'd be funny to get like Jeremy Irons, but haven't haven't be like a tank. You know they're approaching the totally wrong I'd have like Olivia Munn. Yeah, it's right.

Yeah, probably. The terror rate, the way she looks in her playboy shoot. Yeah. I'm gonna change my answer. The new playboy shooter, the old one. And you're gonna change my answer. Yeah, and that dude's from Twilight. What?

What? No. You're doing your wrong Jack, first of all. You don't say, let's say Greta vs. Blue and who would you cast to put in it, then you just pick good actors. That's not true. It's like, who would you cast to put in it then you just pick good actors Who would you want to put on lost? It's like how about the Pope awesome If you take that shammu playing yes boss what you do is you take the characters and say who would play these characters

Yeah, I'm saying like if you have a new role Yeah, a new role like say like in season you know 20 of red versus blue You had like you're gonna have a villain arc in the show Okay, who would you cast as it like the ideal voice of a villain in the show miss November? I mean just randomly by and I'll write a part for is LaFisher Why not? All right, well, let's wrap this up. It was horrible It's been it's been fun except for Jack and I hope you all have good holidays and We probably once have another podcast on next year

That's not true because we're gonna do the announcement of the winners that we did from the nominations And I hope you all have good holidays and we probably want to have another podcast next year. That's not true because we're going to do the announcement of the winners that we did from the nominations. And I'll explain that right now.
