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 PCark. Son the party and don't forget Bernie at that one British guy But will they be talking about who knows they got all the inside scoops it shows they come in at your right
God, and you're the prey is the truck tank podcast take it away
Hey, everyone welcome to the truck
Dude, I wish to god. We had some sort of an inside scoop
We're coming at you like a bear
That should have been longer that That was awesome. That's good
No, no, no, keep it short and sweet. That's that's the point. I get way too many like six minute long interest
Is that a is that a new one that just came in or I know that I've had that one since like August I think
Get out quick and leave him wanting more. It's right. It was a successful song for Joel. Hey everybody Mary Christmas
Mary Christmas. What'd you guys get for Christmas? I got this I got this bitch in Tony Hawk hoodie from my mom
Thanks mom. That's extreme dude. Yeah, I'm gonna go
Grind come on figured out
That's funny because I bought myself a Tony Hawk you that game the ride game with the board
I was happy. Have you heard yourself? Yeah, we'd have to talk about this. Yeah, I was at a town
I'm a little disappointed. I heard there's a video floating around
It could make its way into the link dump. Yeah, well what's what happened in this video?
Apparently Bernie was experimenting with this board and he somehow defied gravity and a very and you
Watching a cartoon where you like literally rose up in the air about four feet, you know
And then rotated about 90 degrees hover hovered for three seconds, and
it slammed onto the floor.
So he was like a Nazi guard in the saboteur.
He was like fucking floating in the air.
Yeah, he was amazing.
And this happened in the office, so I'm astonished that he literally didn't go through
the floor.
I'm astonished.
Yeah, we're in a very old building, and I have a very heavy weight coming down on the
floor.
Yeah.
So those two things combined.
The weight to age ratio is way off on that floor. I'm very glad I've not been
beat is off the shelves downstairs. I have no idea. But it was maybe we should
explain for you who don't know what Tony Hawk ride is in case there's people out
there. Tony Hawk ride is a skating game that comes with its own skate board.
It's almost literally like a board because it just lays flat on the ground and
we have hardwood floors until it's a burning gets on it then it doesn't lay flat and then burning. No, it's flat on the ground and we have hardwood floors until until Bernie gets on it
Then it doesn't lay flat and then Bernie's flat on the ground
Then it shoots out from under his feet, you know taking out important office equipment
I haven't seen this video yet. I'm really looking forward to watching that's actually the problem is that it does lay flat on the ground
And so the one trick I know for my skating days was how to take my skateboard and shoot it at people that I didn't like but just step you know, Jeff
You step forward. I yeah, you had skating days
They used to skate on these to skate on long boards back then it was back in the day
He used to call it sidewalk surfing
I ended the term skateboard in the 60s. Yeah, you know
It's skateboarding seems like the most inefficient way to travel. And you seem to think it's very effective.
I love it, dude.
No, it seems like way more work than just walking.
No, not at all.
But I, uh, so I was gonna do this trick at the end of it where Joel was complaining about the game
and as many people do about that game.
So I got on it and was joking around and was saying,
look, this fucking extreme and I was, I was doing it.
And then I actually got to be pretty good at it.
And I was making for the Joel telling him how I'd be the scores and all this and he was dismissing me
and just lower cans of laptop so I thought fuck it I'm gonna fire the skateboard
at Joel the way I throw my shoes at Gavin sometimes so I went to shoot it at
him completely didn't work the physics of that without wheels on the bottom of
it it basically shot out behind me and then I fell down like I ton of bricks I
planned all that by the way I knew exactly how that was gonna go down in down in your head. I knew your whole logic. I knew you're gonna fall.
It worked out perfectly. I was watching the monitor and Bernie was like wrecking up this huge score. And I was like, how how's he wrecking? I turn around. He's holding the board.
I'm holding his hand. I'm holding him in there and steering him around. Kind of an easy way to cheat with the board huh is that game still here in the office I took it out of the office because I was afraid we would all die that's too
bad and the funny thing is to it's gonna look when you see the video it looks like
a viral video that somebody was paid to make because the Tony Hawk box is
leaning up against the chair right there in the background I mean I had it all
figured out I had it all planned I knew exactly how it was I knew it and then
fat dude falls down I mean it looks like somebody It's nobody to back to me. I made a general entry like two months ago called fat guy in a skateboard
I'm telling you I had it all set up. You'll be a fat dude to find gravity
Sounds like by the way sounds like this video is headed for break.com. Yep. We're gonna make five hundred dollars. Yeah, Jack
Jack dollar signs is nice. He really did when he took the video. Oh, great But don't don't I don't buy the game
I told him he posted the video one of the dollar signs would not be his paycheck. Yeah
He sat on it thankfully, but when you when we put it up to you'll hear me in between me laughing immediately soon as I hit the ground
I thought I broke my arm which would have been the weirdest karma in the world because my brother
which would have been the weirdest karma in the world because my brother broke his arm when I was about 14 He broke his arm skateboarding in his room and the same exact thing where he was how do you do that?
He would he just fell down and fell in the carpet in the wrong way and he broke his arm and I fell down
I'm gonna think of my left arm and I thought I bet I broke my fucking
Because of Tony Hawk ride and trying to shoot the skateboarding Joel must have been hard carpet
I don't know yeah
I mean in a bedroom. I've seen it for 20 years. I fell on his bed weird and broke his collarbone
You never broke anything. No never my life if I broke anything
But yeah, I've had a lot of concussions from skateboarding and some swole like spraying thing
I've ever broken anything on anyone else. No, I broke a kid's nose on some accident
Should he skateboard on him? Yeah, no playing football. Jack just aimed me. That's a great story. Jack just aimed really
not much to it. And he said, hey, have you guys started the podcast? Don't forget to mention the ride thing.
The second I was like walking back here to get started, he's like, don't forget to mention the video.
He comes at me, he goes, so we're gonna post this and then we're gonna have, I think we're gonna
have a contest where people take him like, fuck you. He's gonna like start a new website.
It's gonna be like Bernie.
The problem with Jack is now that he works here.
He likes to talk.
He's overly excited about this video.
He is.
We need to beat his spirit down.
We should.
Make him bitter like the rest of us.
I guess we're being too nice to him, Gus.
You can't wait to pay him next.
That's a great point, Jeff.
We've been way too nice to Jack.
We need to step up.
We should have him the brand in treatment.
Are you familiar with the new group? Oh, the be nice to Jack. We need to step up. We should have the brand in treatment. Yeah. Are you familiar with the new group?
Oh, the be nice to Jack group. That's that is the like shortest distance between Jack getting shit on. Hold on, hold on. You mean, you mean the former group?
Let me lock it right now. Be nice to Jack. It's called right.
I want to look at that shit in two seconds. We need to beat him down like we did
brand. And if I walk into a room and I say, Hey, what's up, Brandon? He goes,
there's the only thing he said to me for the last two months
braided yeah
It sounds like a door opening. It does kind of a door opening to his misery. Hey, should we talk about?
Hey, would you guys do less week aside from right?
How would I want to follow up on this on this this be nice to Jack group because I got a personal comment
Would you like some viewer feedback? Yeah, we love you are feedback. We also love your submitted songs. Hey Bernie
Please punch Gus when he is on the podcast. He really contributes nothing
I truly am getting tired of him sitting there like a toad waiting for gav Joel or Jack to make a grammatical or other mistake
And then constantly rip on them for it because his quote burns on these guys are terrible
Who who who say Who's the record?
I'm the one that points out people's
grammatical mistakes.
I'm just saying for those of us living on the edge, we got no time for grammar.
Being a man of importance, you should tell him to actually contribute to the
conversation rather than try to rip on Jack, Joel or Gav.
Also, Jeff isn't as bad, but tell him to that.
Well, who said that?
Who said that?
Well, listen, let's see to be exuser.
See, a member of the, that we provide what's called color. Who said that? Who said that? Listen, let's see to be an ex-user.
See, a member of the... We provide what's called color.
Look at that.
He did sign his post even though it's right here next to his fucking avatar.
Oh, it is the skits.
The skits. The S.K.I.T.Z.
S.K.I.T.Z.
I'm giving my award.
It's going to be impossible to give him an award when he's account doesn't exist anymore dude
I will on live that account and make him a sponsor
Make him an admin his username sound like some sort of a disease so guys get I feel sorry for him
So guys cut shit basically no way cut it out okay, we're sorry
By the way as Mr. Skits as we're saying gust doesn't contribute anything to the podcast
he contributes two days a week to putting it up on long-time that's a fucking monumental task
he he he it's easy to it's easy to judge from the couch when you don't know yeah you don't know
what's going on Bernie had Bernie had to do it while you were uh I don't know where you were you
were doing a commercial or something and he he complained about every 30 seconds it's it's
nice it does so you know part of the fucking complaining Jeff was the hope that you would pick up the slack
I was you a fucking thing for that. I've done the podcast like yeah, Gus is gone
Gus didn't ask anybody to do with the podcast that sucks. I guess someone will do it
He said that the whole fucking time I hit you to do do. Oh, I have just as much shit to fill out my days
You do but they had to be done. I was a middle of I was in crunch time
Hey, hey, what would the skits say calm down everyone? I'm sorry. Don't be mean Bernie. I'm so what would the skits do listen
I'm a man of importance. Let's have a pleasant nice time. I
Like when you guys are games is only friend is gamer Chico 9 and got a real accounts
Yeah
I'm I'm befriending him.
I'm befriending him.
Yeah, I'm gonna give Joel his friendship award.
His friendship award.
Friendship award.
It's like the Boy Scouts or something.
But guys, back me up here.
Who is the only guy that will send you links for the link dump after the podcast is over?
Bernie.
That's me.
Every week.
If I talk about it and has to be linked up, I send him a link to it.
I can find it anyway. Oh
Son of a bitch
He gusted leave town though and didn't say anything anybody about making the podcast. I figured there wouldn't be one
See look at that. We're taking care of you when just
Figuring stuff. Hey, so what do you guys want to talk about that's not us fighting?
stuff. Hey, so what do you guys want to talk about that's not us fighting? Oh, I'd like to talk about the fact that they let terrorists on planes with bombs.
Oh my god. That's gonna. Sure, that'll calm us down, Joel.
We fly a lot. Not anymore. I'm done. I'm never gonna get on plane again.
Yeah, I am now up to 1.75 million frequent fire miles. Well, you should fly another
two hundred and fifty thousand miles. You get to two million. Yeah, if I get to two million, I actually get the blow
up a plane. That's one of the rewards. You'll be just like George Clooney in that movie
I haven't seen yet. So, and I was at one point, I was on the TSA watch list, not the no
fly list, but the watch list. How in the fuck this guy slipped through the cracks when I
couldn't check into the kiosk for three and a half years
I'd love to know that I'd love to hear an explanation for that. Hey according to what I'm gonna pay the price by not being able to play flight control for the last hour
Yeah, true. You want to do new hands under a fucking blanket. Yeah, having your hands out of the blanket
How are we gonna masturbate? I bet snuggies are gonna make a killing because of this.
It's a blanket you can wear to keep your hands exposed.
Yeah, then you're barking an angle for them.
They're gonna sell another 5 million.
They should sponsor, you know, put them on, get it,
sign an exclusive deal with like American or Delta.
It's such bullshit.
So what are the new rules that they've issued?
Nothing in your lap for the last hour of a flight, right?
Yes.
Have to have your hands visible at all times.
Can't get up, right? Can't use a bathroom. Can't get up for the last hour of a flight right yes have to have your hands visible at all times can't can't get up right can't use a
bathroom can't get up for the last hour that just doesn't even make sense unless that's
reactionary to one example like do all attacks happen in the last hour of a flight
that makes me want to say dude that's how they were this fucking arbitrary number I got also I
got usually when my four-year-old has to take a piss I'm getting up. Yeah, here's the
See I don't like you have a wet ass airplane. It makes total sense because you
Can't make it. No, it makes total sense because this way the terrorists will be forced to blow up the plane but an hour before
It lands. I guess that's true. You don't have to wait to the whole flight
The worst part about all of this for me is that Homeland Security with the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said that it this proved the system worked
No, it's proved the system worked that the fact that a
dude is able to get on a plane and the exporter maybe she's talking about the
okay to system works it proves that passengers are badass this for she did
retract that statement by the way yeah but that she still the first place I
mean I can say horrible stuff and retract it later but you are gonna forgive me
for that the skis isn't gonna let me go I don't
he holds you to a higher standard.
You're under the watchful eye of the skis.
We're under a new system now.
We're basically, basically, you know, if you're on a plane, listen, if I see a dude pull out a lighter of a plane,
I'm gonna go over and punch him.
Pretty much everybody must feel that way, right?
Every see and really they do.
Clearly they do, that's the new system.
See, what I said, inter-burn you the other day other day was you know we have so many frequent flyer miles
I'm in send it to keep that plane in the air. They should let me sit right behind the pilot
Yeah, that's a call keep an eye on everything. Yeah, dude with 1.75 million freaking flyer miles is not a dude
That's gonna blow up a plane. Mm-hmm. You put way too much work into getting there. You're so close to life
I'm platinum dude you paid for the plane I mean plane two miles I should get like one veto per plane ride like that guy he can't get on you have to go to another
airline I'm at one I'm obviously a fucking expert. I have flown a billion times
You know when you're executive platinum on American airlines you can book yourself onto a full flight and bump someone off of it
Can you really do that? Yeah, how do you you can book yourself and a travel partner onto a full flight man?
Can you bump somebody that? How do you get that? You can book yourself and the travel partner onto a full flight.
Man, can you bump somebody out of first class?
Well, the first class, like, booking system works a little differently, but I don't think
so, but typically you don't have to.
How do you get to executive platinum?
That is a hundred thousand miles in a year.
And there's no lifetime level.
Like you can't get to, say, five million miles lifetime and get executive platinum.
If you fly a hundred thousand miles in a calendar year. That's hard. Yeah, that's hard
That's rough. I mean, I this has been a long time building up for me
And I've never hit exactly executive platinum not one time have you ever come close?
Gus I came close to executive platinum once. I think I had
85,000 miles that would have been like
2006 is sure that's a lot. It also has to be flying miles. You can't know that it qualifies
Yeah, wow use all your other stuff for as well credit card stuff and all that
It's gonna be miles in the air. Yep. Whoever that dude is is a miserable fucking
Yeah, and the fucked up thing is that year when I would travel all the time like that's the year
I became aware of the executive platinum level of a flying I would see those fuckers on every flight
I was on.
Really?
It seemed like, you know, I had platinum.
I felt like I flew a lot.
And I could book myself in the first class pretty regularly because of it.
But sometimes I'd get bumped.
I'd be like, where are these fuckers bumping me?
And I'd look at all their boarding passes.
You could see them.
They're on, there's tons of them on every flight.
They're everywhere.
Yeah, there's always somebody lining up at the beginning of the flight when they call for
the eliminati.
Like the masons of the AR. You give each other the nod you know air mason's so this jack
ass so this he gets on a plane and he tries to light a bomb in his underwear
right and it didn't it didn't work that's so funny he had a syringe filled with
gel and got on the plane with that how the fuck do you do that I don't know that
that's something you don't want to halfway work like if you're just gonna
try and blow yourself up and you're gonna you pick the crotch region and that's not something you want to halfway go
I mean you either want to be balloon up to oblivion or have it not work at all. That's not something you want to halfway
But if you're us you do want it to work halfway. Yeah, if you're everybody else in the plane
You'll take 50% and this plane was going to Detroit too. Yeah, I don't understand the motivation there
That's got to be the last plane. I'd want to try to hide it to hide you trying to break America's spirit by striking at the center of our industry. Yeah, right?
If that plane crashed if that world country if that plane crashed into Detroit known with notice. Yeah, it would be like
It would be another tire fire. The dudes on that flight live with death every day of their life every time they walk out the front door
They got to put on bulletproof vests and get in their Mad Max cars.
We're fucking no shit. It would take about to do it nine months to find the wreckage.
We've got a narrow down like 10 different locations.
It's not worth seriously. You know, I read me like a escape from New York. Yeah, it would
be escape from New York. I read that some filmmakers like recently, there's been a problem
in Detroit where people are going up there to film like in the deserted city
And like the rundown city and several filmmakers have been arrested over the past several months because they've been filming and they use
You know prop guns and they're you know having gunfire in houses for their movies the police come because people call because of gunfire for some reason
I don't know why they're not used to it Detroit yet anyway
Police come and arrest them all for not having permits to film the movies right
They're probably arrested for having a gun battle without a permit, right?
Yeah, that's exactly what you get you get a gunfire in Detroit right now like crickets in the summer and I think I've ever been to Detroit
I connected through it's a fucking scary place. I spent one night there at a wet back when I used to be a roadie for a band and
The literally the bouncer who sat outside and checked IDs had to wear a bullet professed and
It looked I like it wasn't that I had you know
I've spent some time the army and I was in Kuwait right after the Gulf War and I would see like burned out buildings and piles of rubble
I was a lot of shit. Yeah, I was in like 96 was the last time I went and and this was in 90
98 I guess but uh, they were it looked like that like there were blocks
Would have just like half demolished buildings and like people hanging clothes out of like 20th story windows
And it was fucking run down and the place where we played it was called the old Miami and the guy that owned it was named
Burrera and he was telling me a story. I was like this is kind of scary place
He goes oh, it's no problem. He goes you just got to know how to deal with these kids. Like last night I had a couple kids come in and try
to rob me, but I had a bigger gun. So I pinned them up against the wall and I drove my car into them
and I had them stuck there until the cops came. He ran dudes into the wall so they couldn't move.
He had them literally pinned. Oh I like the bigger gun was a slu-sh-sh-sh-sh. Yeah,
that he had. Well it wasn't like a 50-cal. I don't know. I didn't-cal I don't know I don't know I did do wore a beret and he still had his army clothes on
So many so many shouldn't rush a webcam up there because
Beret Beret Beret Beret a hair clip. Yeah, he had a beret and this name was sound the flowers was adorable
Now that we've lost everyone who listens to us in that region of the country and Oregon there's no compete where else can we
I know We're just cutting off the dead weight if there were there wouldn't be electricity to run them listens to us in that region of the country and Oregon. There's no compete. Where else can we? I don't.
We're just cutting off the dead weight.
If there were, there wouldn't be electricity to run them.
OK.
OK.
But the TSA, they did the-
They did the lovely city.
They did the exact same thing after the shoe bomber.
Remember, that's when we started having to take off our shoes
all the time, right?
We never took off our shoes at security
until this one dude tried to blow up a plane with his shoes so
that it was like okay now we gotta watch out for shoes that was when or that bullshit you
know had to go through when we went to Scotland that was ridiculous that was ridiculous well that
was actually before someone tried something they heard there was a plot to mix gels which clearly
this guy did and I think that at the time that that trip happened it was like orange level or
something like that we got let off of every plane by dudes with machine guns yep it was not a joke that
it's fucking scary and we missed every connection by hours and hours and hours
we were going to the Edinburgh Film Festival in Scotland and bra and you were with
this Joel I was there but since I was coming from Los Angeles I was coming from
different flight okay and so I had to do a presentation so I had my normal laptop
and then we have kind of a hot slap top for presentation. It was a big thick
Huge laptop. It was a gaming laptop that was capable of showing off machinima in real time anyway
So we're getting off the plane. I have two laptops with me. We're transferring from American in Heathrow to British airways to go over to Scotland
We were in Gatwick. We're in Gatwick. Thank you
And that's where the threat was. Yeah, wasn't it?
It was a Gatwick two days. And so there were dudes with machine guns
walking around. And then British Airways had a different set of requirements for carry-on luggage.
You can only carry on one thing and not two things. And Jeff had his camera bag and I had the two
laptops. And I said to the guys, well, we're transferring American. We could have two carry-ons there.
I have two laptops. What can I do?
And he pointed at one of my laptops,
and then pointed at the trash can.
That was his solution.
Which one did you throw away?
I had to condense them down to one bag
and throw away one of my laptop bags.
Wow.
And it looked ridiculous.
I mean, there's no way it shut.
Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
So yeah, I had to throw away my primary bag
that I had carried for years.
Well, he showed you.
There's nothing I could do.
It was a fun trip.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, you did not have a bigger gun in that situation.
No, I did not.
I also took us 27 hours to get there.
Jesus, you may go up to the moon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why'd you just stop and scottling?
Just keep going.
But it was the best trip of all time.
It was a great trip.
Once we were there, we were fine.
Joel also, and they lost our bags. I don't know if you remember that. We had to go were fine. Joel also, and they lost our bags.
I don't know if you remember that.
We had to go out and buy all the clothes,
because they lost our bags.
Listen, I found out about that.
Was coming back a problem also,
where things come down by then.
Took us 19 hours to get home.
I remember being happy that it was less.
Can't even remember.
I get, it's funny, because I'm supposed to be a nine hour trip.
I don't know.
I get pulled on that trip.
I got pulled out of line every single time.
Really?
Yeah. And it's just like, how does a guy from Nigeria who's on Tera S that trip. I got pulled out of line every single time really Yeah, and it's just like how does the guy from Nigeria?
Who's on Sarah's not get pulled out like what where did his flight originate that dude?
He answered am no, no, I know the flight was coming from after that. That's not where he originally
Sleep or no, I don't know he originated didn't he originate? I thought it was in Yemen
What where did that guy come from oh well? I think he was trained in Yemen
What did that guy come from? Oh, well, I think he was training Yemen
El-Kaeda El-Kaeda seems to have given up on the hand-to-hand combat training because every time a terrorist does something on a plane an
average dude just walks up and knocks the shit out of him
Did you read the or see any interviews with this Jasper guy who took out this guy?
No, I haven't seen that he basically came over two seats and just started beating the shit out of the guy and and burned his hands because he stopped the fuse with his hands
Wow, that's a fucking awesome dude. It's an awesome dude
Yeah, and apparently thing was smoking and was burning and the
Sturdist asked the guy what's under your blanket and he responded explosive device
Yeah
Why don't you do a little like interrogation training too while you're at it
Just you know spend a day on that a day on hand to hand combat like block one punch
Richard do not give up all military secrets read was the same way retry galitis shoes on fire and the guy next to him said
You're not you know don't don't that sturdises. I think thought him. Yeah
He was the the key ingredient here that we're forgetting is that the first stage of this process to get a due to agree to do this or want to do this, they probably
got to be pretty stupid in the first place. So you got to realize you're dealing with
probably yeah, or gullible. Anybody know the name of anybody know this guy's name?
Umar Farouk Abdul Moul Talab. It's going Farouk. So Farouk, they started posting...
Farouk, you're supposed to call him Umar.
Information, apparently, was pulled down pretty quickly, but they started posting information
from one of his social media sites, maybe it was Facebook or something.
And the article I read pointed out how normal this guy sounded.
He just sounded like a sad, depressed, lonely guy.
Well, he's like the son of a rich banker in Nigeria, right?
Right. I don't know. He's like a privileged, in Nigeria, right? Right.
I don't know.
He's like a privileged, he's a privileged rich guy,
who, you know, of course, I don't know.
Said his father's money got locked up in a thing
and he needed somebody from America to get it out for him.
Nobody was willing to help on me.
He's like 10 years sending emails,
no one was following this.
That's probably why he was willing to write.
That's probably why he was lonely on the internet.
He's probably like, I emailed 1000 people, no one was blind.
I don't believe me.
All I do is want to talk to my dad who's a bank in Nigeria.
So ironic.
Suddenly the story, I'm a lot more sympathetic to him.
Well thank God they stopped him.
Yeah, thank God.
And this Jasper guy has like six groups dedicated to him now on Facebook.
Hey, when's our next trip? We don't have any trips for a while, do we?
Uh, it's possible.
It's possible.
It's past Pax East.
We haven't, we have never been to Ireland.
And we got invited to an event kind of at our own expense to go to Ireland.
Yeah.
So I would mongol in Ireland.
Let's go, but when is that event?
Let's go and not do the event.
The best thing is more. Yeah, so I would mind going to Ireland. But let's go, but let's just go. When is that event? Let's go and not do the event.
The best thing that's more.
Not to reduce anyone's culture or anything, but the best thing about going to Scotland or Ireland is that when you have a Guinness over there, it's phenomenal.
It's true.
It takes much, much different there.
But fuck Guinness dude, because you have every Scotch in the world right in front of you.
I just want to point out that I think the best thing about going to Scotland was
the girl that we were trying to hit on for Joel.
We were trying to hook Joel up with the prettiest girl ever.
The prettiest girl in my life.
Yeah, of course, absolutely.
She had like, sure, her hair was like copper color.
What color was that?
Yeah, it was like, it was the only hue of red you could see if you're in Scotland
That's the only place that that color is she looked like a young Angie ever heart. She did kind of that's a good call
Yeah, you're gonna have to link that and and
Jeff and I I think we did the best wingman run you could ever do it was we were we were fucking great. We were
How did Joel do Joeldo not so well I
I did I did great now I did great no no I did great I mean I my favorite part was
would you got her phone number and then you called her and she put her boyfriend on the phone
to talk to you no that is now I mean you're like yeah, okay. Yeah, sure put him on
It's like when Gil talks to his wife
Bernie Jeff when Bernie Jeff were talking about being great wingman all that mean for them that means sitting next to me
awkwardly not saying anything
Being weird that is exactly although I will give them props do you remember?
I have a friend and I engaged I engaged this girl I engaged a group and everything was going great
Everything was going great talking talking talking. How can you say that they were like we were champs?
We talked to that I'll tell you I will tell you how and all we talked about was how you were a movie star
And you were famous that did not help and we were over here from America
Yeah, you had to do for a film festival like, apparently everyone's point of view in Scotland is of everyone who's in LA is
whatever happens on an MTV reality show.
That is what they think.
They were big fans of Angel, like, the whole stuff behind the guy.
All they knew is like, what happened on Hollywood?
All of this, all they knew was what was on the hills, which puts us at a real disadvantage
I'd have to say. I can't tell you everything we talked to that friend about.
I mean, we were doing Scottish accents at one point to entertain her.
Yeah, because she was like, I really like McDonald's.
Yeah, we were doing it.
Yeah, we were doing good job.
Good job, guys.
We know what was even better.
I gotta say, though, to be fair, what was even better than that girl was the fact that
every two feet was a trailer that sold hot dogs
That were out of this world and what was what was hot dogs and the grapes and grapes
We had a hot dog wrapped in a crepe that was the best hot dog in the world
I think about I think about that sometimes and we're sending you hot dogs drinking Guinness and there's a castle five feet away from us
up and down we would wake up at like 11 a.m. and
Head to a pub and start sipping like
Islay Scotch and then you get hungry you go get your hot dog crape like a
Voolian or like Lafrog or any of those and you go back to your Scotch and you do
that until two in the morning and then you go back to bed. It's just cool. It's
just fucking hot dogs craps and whiskey all day and that's sleeping with hot
chicks. Oh yeah. Young Angie ever. Who said anything about sleeping with anybody. She was a nice girl
Should just want to get the noir okay, they're a lot in common
By the way if you ever want to try an aisle an islay scotch. Yeah, I love his lay. I'm not saying it right
So I'll correct me. I'm sure it's great because it tastes like drinking a band-aid
It does kind of it's very pitty. Yeah, it tastes like getting punched in the face with a
fistful of dirt. It sounds like something I want to drink. It's awesome. It's awesome. Are
like little bits of the Isle of Isle in there? No, but if you buy a bottle of Lafroyg, they give you
one square foot of land. Yeah, good ones are Lafroyg and La Gavillion. Lafoyg is good to start with.
Just to clarify earlier, that dude got onto the plane in Nigeria Yeah, I'm the plane I'm connected through Amsterdam how the hell do you get through a whole in security in Nigeria?
They have to the best
I mean security for planes landing from Nigeria should be you just turn around put them back on the plane it flies back to New
Yeah, I have flown from some very small towns in America, post 9-11, where you just walk up,
there's no security, you just get on the plane. Yeah. And I'm talking when I was in Quincy,
Illinois, there was really, I can't remember going through a metal detector even. And when I landed
at a real airport, they did not let us just continue on through the terminal. We had to go through
security again. So we do that in the states when people land, we recognize that there's certain areas of the United States that don't have
Proper security so they send us back through again. Yeah, I wouldn't do that in international airports. Yeah, why wouldn't they do that in an international airport?
Scumbags dude, I can't tell you how many times I have been harassed by TSA
It's been a bunch and
It's because it just shows it's ridiculous and we all know because you were on the on the terrorist watch list
Or not the who the was it? Yeah, I was on the watch list. You were on the watch list
I was and why were you on the watch list because I had your name sounds like something bad that would happen to an airplane
My Bernie Burns
That's something that you don't want to have happened. Should we talk about the polls?
Sure look at Joel moving us along. Don't don't move us along. Okay. Well, I'll pull them up then.
I'd be interested to see how a from a percentage point how what the percentage is of course all podcasts is plain talk.
Yeah, I know a lot of time talking about airplane. We spend a lot of time in planes. Maybe I should be classifying our podcasts from the game section over to like the travel section.
Sponsored by American arrows. Um, I got a lot of pull right now. You know, to me, you know, it was the most interesting
pull. Like let's vote for the best pull of the year, which is the internet, the internet
video. Like every, I thought every single internet video in there was awesome.
Hell yeah, they're kind of a good year for videos. Which one won, you know, I just locked
it. Well, let's let's find out all right
Would you like to know who won the audience award for best online video?
What why don't we start with the oldest one two thousand away?
You know that'll be the is that the grand the oldest poll the oldest poll? Yeah, okay?
Why don't we start with the first one then?
Guys do you have that in front of you pulling it up? It looks like the oldest one is best movie
It would have been best movie.
So who won the audience award? The first annual drunk tank audience award for best movie of 2009.
Star Trek.
And we awarded it to Star Trek.
So we both award Star Trek.
So the drink tank official award goes to Star Trek and the audience award.
They'll be receiving a trophy and a check for $10.
Wow.
We're
while we're on the certificate for Amazon.com. be receiving a trophy and a check for $10. Wow, we're on a certificate.
A gift certificate for Amazon.com.
Do we want to send them a check?
We should send them a gift certificate.
Send them a check.
$10 gift certificate.
We should do that.
We just absolutely should do that.
Absolutely should do that.
While we're on this subject, I feel like we have to talk
about Avatar.
Because we saw Avatar in the 3D eye-match.
I haven't seen it.
I haven't seen it.
I added it into the list after we went to see it.
Because I have been dropping some stuff about avatar before I saw avatar
Avatar avatar I was wrong. I'm told it dude. I was wrong. James Cameron. Well, we said we were gonna give the benefit of that
There was a scene there was a scene and I'm not gonna spoil anything here
But there was a scene and the scene was probably about 20 seconds long and the scene was it was one shot
And it was a camera of three people in a room.
And there's no dialogue in the shot.
And it's just a slow tracking shot of the camera.
No dialogue, nothing happens.
Phenomenal.
Dude.
Like, phenomenal.
There really is.
Every single shot is like, wow.
Like, this is the first time that I've never,
I've never heard you like a movie book.
This is the first, well, I felt like,
it's a good point. It's a good This is a well I felt like I it's a good point in the first time that like I felt like I was seven again I
felt like I was seven years old watching a movie like despite the script is
not I'm not a huge fan of the script the script is not great I have a
matter on that but I'm no wait the way that you consume that movie it now this
is all 3D I max if you're watching it 3D I the way that you consume that movie
it's there's so much you consume that movie, it's
There's so much richness in every single shot. It's just I can't stop talking about it Well, I'm going to see it Saturday with Bernie. So yeah, I had to do a scoping mission to see if my seven year old could see it and I determined
He can see it. I gotta say that I gotta say though if I didn't see it on 3D iMacs
I don't think I would have liked it. Well, that's what they were saying. Yeah, it's what everyone said
Everybody's saying. I mean when you see when the first trailer came out and everybody was saying how goofy
and cartoonish it looked, it's true.
They kept saying see it and I'm actually like, I saw the movie and the theater.
It was unbelievable.
Now I go back and on TV and they show like an ad or whatever.
I'm like, that's terrible.
Yeah.
How could I possibly watch that?
No, it's great.
I don't want to hype it up too much because I made the mistake of hyping up district
nine too much to Jeff.
And then he was like, yeah, it was okay.
Well, again, it's all, this is the thing. Like, I'm a huge story guy. And to me, the story
wasn't that great, but just the execution of it was so different. And I don't know what
to say. I'm ready to start investing. And there's a 3D company, a stock. I'm ready to invest
in it. I mean, it's like, it's going to be a huge growth sector. I don't, I've seen
every movie I saw this show. I saw 3D, I think, except for Star Trek.
I don't think the 3D is the main part of it.
I just think the presentation of it
and the 3D is a part of the way we saw it.
So it's hard for me to separate it.
But you know, they talked about Jar Jar
Binks being a realistic character on screen.
And even when you saw it, it was like, yeah, this is better.
But this was the next level.
I mean, it really was the next level I mean really was the next level. That's great of my realism on the screen cannot wait to see it
Also just you know the audience voted Avatar second Star Trek got 496 votes
Avatar got 405 votes, okay, and I think that says a lot because I don't think a lot of people have seen Avatar yet because they're waiting for
The ability to be able to get a seat to see it. Yeah, that's the thing
I think in glorious bastards is pretty close behind Avatar 2.
You know what, I would have done, I would have done them that order.
I would have probably done Avatar and then Glorious Bastards.
I think in Glorious Bastards is going to be a movie that people come back to after this year.
It was a good movie.
In ways they don't say Star Trek.
Still haven't seen it, but I'd love to.
And I thought it was interesting that hangover, I thought that would do much better with
our audience, but taking almost beat Hangover.
And taking was a very small movie that not many people saw.
Maybe we trumped it up a little bit too much in previous podcasts, but Hangover got
a great fucking movie though.
It could be, I mean, just everyone who might have voted for Hangover might have just,
you know, that vote probably went to Star Trek or Avatar instead.
Yeah.
True.
I definitely am not sure I agree with the Star Trek choice, but hey,
yeah, it was a majority rule kind of thing. I didn't
personally agree that either. Wait, but if you didn't personally agree with it, oh, you voted for taken, but we were not voting for taken. It had the most votes.
It had you been at lunch, you would have voted for Avatar with me. Always miss a launch. Yep.
That's what you get. All right, shall we move on to Best TV show of the Year? Yes.
Nominees for Best TV show of the year for 2009 were lost.
The audience had a special one, always sunny in Philadelphia that they kept asking for,
which we did not have in our nominees.
How I met your mother, Dexter, the office, and 30 rock.
And the audience chose somewhat overwhelmingly the office.
I'm surprised by that.
Go figure, the one they make us put in there is the one that comes in dead last.
It's the one they vote for the least.
Always sunny in Philadelphia, right?
And then what did we choose as the best TV show of 2009?
I think we chose Lost season 4.
We chose Lost season 4, that is correct.
Are you guys excited about that?
You wanted to why probably why I got chosen is because you're just before the end and
so the that anticipation like what if the end what if the end is terrible?
I don't think it will be.
No, the season was really good. I mean if you if you watch the show I take your
opinion a lot more seriously. Oh, this was actually season five of lots, though, right?
It's funny because it was season five. I've not seen a single episode of
lost really, but I would still vote for a lot. Well, if you're a story dude, you should watch
watch. Exactly. It's really good. Exactly. I need to watch. I need to watch. I think with the
words, especially as something gets up there in seasons Is that it becomes easier to say, well, we're not gonna honor it's clearly. It's better than everything else or it's on a different level
So you you stop considering something after it has a certain level of success and I totally disagree with that and I think lost is there
Hmm. I totally like disagree with that
It's like when you went to slam dance and they were having the video game contest. Yes
It's the same philosophy where it's just like, you know, so you don't disagree that happens. You disagree with the
you just like I agree that it happens and I agree that it happens. It does happen. It shouldn't. The Emmys are actually pretty good about that because the guy who plays George
stands on Seinfeld. Jason Alexander. He never won an Emmy for that. He kept losing to the dude from Frazier.
That's a fucking crime, dude.
And he was the best part of that show.
He was amazing.
From day one, he was amazing.
Yeah.
Everybody else had to take time to get into their character.
He was fucking awesome out of the gate.
You know what's really weird?
You want to talk about marketing dollars spent incorrectly.
Do you know that there was a Seinfeld reunion?
Yeah, on Caribbean enthusiasm, right?
Caribbean enthusiasm. After that stand-up deal deal like every time you see that guy it's like to me it has
worn off is it like oh I just feel awkward watching him. Oh, the one that I don't know. I've forgotten
about it. Actually until you mentioned it. So you know what I keep remembering from Seinfeld the post
Seinfeld era era is that that show made so much money in syndication. That Jerry
Seinfeld went on Letterman to promote when the show changed hours in New York in syndication.
Yeah, unbelievable. That it moved from like 5.30 to 6.30 pm in syndication.
That's how you know. That's how you know. Hey, you know, I just read a list, I wish I had in front of me.
I didn't even think about it, but I just read a list of 2009's highest grossing entertainers.
And I don't think Seinfeld was on it this year.
And he's usually up there making about 50 million year off Seinfeld,
I wonder if it's finally starting to wane.
One of the other candidates on for Best TV Show of the Year is how I met your mother.
It's already in syndication.
And I think it's signed some kind of record breaking syndication deal.
Something like that.
And I think it, or maybe it was interesting in the fact that when it signed its syndication deal,
it was number 40 in the top shows.
Really?
It didn't have that, it wasn't having that huge a run yet.
You have to wonder how much goes into like the backward side
of the formula of how well they think
that they can sell it after the fact.
And like that's becoming more and more and more important.
I would think so.
I would, yeah.
I would think a lot of TV shows aren't going to have 10-year runs anymore.
After four seasons, five seasons, people are pretty much done with it.
There's too much stuff out there to watch.
Do you think that...
Also, the costs rise so significantly.
Do you think they're going to go like a select the route of loss
in Battle Star Galactica, where they, you know, from the onset,
they want to go a certain length?
This is a deal.
Like, every network has standard contracts with actors
and a lot of the other above the line people and all those contracts are five
years. And this is why you see a lot of shows going seven years because they will
do, they will go to five years, they will eat year six and seven and cost sky
right. And that's usually what is the final nail in the coffin. But well,
I think we might head even towards the UK model where a show starts and when
the show starts they don't plan on it lasting more than two or three seasons right the magic
now I thought the magic number was always four for television seasons in America Joel I think a
lot of them were five but okay what for syndication no no just like like I remember like on enterprise
like it was like they all had contracts for five years okay you know I think it was the same
yeah it was the same for angel where they had certain the numbers were built and for five years. You know, I think it was the same, yeah, it was the same for Angel where they had certain
the numbers were built in for five years.
They knew what they were dealing with.
And after that, it was like Betzo off.
Hey, nobody's talking about it, but the Simpsons broke Gunsmot's record this year.
Oh, did it really?
Did it really?
Yeah.
No, I thought Gunsmot still has.
No, I just read an interview with Yordley Smith.
Yeah, where she was talking about how they finally, they finally broke it.
I watched the latest episode of The Simpsons on Hulu, and then it was like post episode.
They had an interview with her talking about it. So wait a minute. I mean, what are we talking about here? How long is 20 21 years?
24 years since now. She's guns smoke was 20 I think
Longest longest running scripted television show. Well never seen an episode of guns smoke
I thought it was I thought it's funny. I see a few and I was a kid. Yeah, guns smoke was 20 god damn
I thought I thought guns smoke was 21
Yeah, nobody's talking about that
That's a that's a tremendous milestone. that's probably never going to be broken.
Probably not, that's like a cal-repking kind of record.
And the, yeah.
That's fucking insane.
The industry's so different now.
And I'll tell you, too, the episode of Simpson's
I watched was hilarious, it was still funny.
Still good.
They've had their open down years.
They have, they have for sure, but.
It's 20 years old.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, how could you possibly find something funny
or engaging after 20 years? I mean, it's because mean it's gonna have a totally different audience at that point
Yeah, right and it's you know the people who watched it when they were 18 are now 38
Dude, yeah, I remember watching the first episode and I would like to think that it was almost have been 14 or so
Yeah, when the Simpsons started I lived in a small town and we didn't have Fox. Like I couldn't watch a Simpsons till like season three.
We didn't get a whole other one. Really? Yeah, it was really weird. I kept hearing about it and you know I'd see stuff about it on the news.
No idea. So you actually probably started watching it once it was actually the show it is now. Yeah, once it was good.
Yeah, I did. I missed the crappy first season. And not the animated version of Married with Children.
Essentially, it's what it was. Yeah. I always thought that when the Simpsons came out that the Flintstones was like
the animated honeymooners. Yeah. And that the Simpsons was like the animated version of
married with children. That's yeah. That's so you know, it's so funny to me is when you
look at technology and you look at how like going how far back the Simpsons goes and it's like
wait a minute, how come they don't have a flat screen TV or cell phones. You know, it's like
you know the stuff that exists in society now
Do you think is an equitable to how the what's in the first?
They actually just updated right for the 20th season the updated the intro and now during the intro
Like whether you do the couch gag when it cuts to the TV screen after that. It's a flat screen now, right?
Do you think Tracy Olman got anything out of the Simpsons? That's a good question
I I never see her listed as a producer or anything. I never see her get a credit, but she did launch that show.
The reason why you're asking is that the Simpson started
as an interstitial cartoon on the Tracy Omen show.
And think about those actors.
Like the actors were higher.
They were booked.
I'm not sure all of them, but I think a majority of them
were booked as actors for her show.
Probably.
And then they wound up as voice actors for the cartoon.
And now here it is, I mean mean crazy, right? I just crazy
Hmm what's our next what's our next our next one is the best
trailer of 2009 hands down
Best trailer ever made well the audience differed with us audience they overwhelmingly voted for we are ODS TV
Late commercial live-action ODS TV television
You know what I think made that spot work so much is that you know
You'd see it in places like for me
I saw it in places where I wouldn't normally see it and when it started you didn't know what it was and then by the end
When you got the path it was like oh my god. This is halo. That's awesome. It's a great. It's a great commercial
It really is yep, but I don't think it's better than the old Republic trailer
It always kind of disturb me a little bit that the kid in the longer version at the funeral reminded me of Gavin.
Oh, yeah, a little bit, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Well, that's distracting.
And then, you know, that's a long path from Gavin to interstellar soldier.
You know, I don't know, I think I would, I think I would, if I had to pick between ODST and the star Wars one, I think I'd go with ODST.
Really?
Well, for best trailer spoiler, good job.
Of 2009, we selected Gus.
Us personally, we selected Star Wars, the Old Republic.
Star Wars, the Old Republic.
And I think the big argument that somebody put out there
about it was that it's not a trailer
because it doesn't contain footage from the game.
It's cutscenes in the game. It's as cutscene and it's not game.
The ODST trailers are live actions.
Yeah, and I also argued that the Tron teaser was just a teaser.
Here's my other thing and maybe it's like I'm too much into the business of it, but it's like I think the trailer that did the most with the least I think was modern warfare too.
I think that trailer was better than the game.
You once again, you should have been lunch
because Jack was saying the same thing.
You still would have been outvoted
because the three of us voted for the Star Wars,
the old Republic trailer.
My main logic behind that was,
I was not gonna play a Star Wars MMO game
after galaxies.
After I saw that trailer,
there was no way I was not gonna play that trailer.
That trailer was better than episodes 1 through 3. Yeah, no it was you're absolutely right. The trailers are fucking incredible. We probably watch that trailer. It should be. I'm going to watch it again right now. If you're going to make a trailer that's like, you know, individually rendered where you sort of storyboard it and you individually render everything and it's Star Wars, it should be like that. It should be like that. Tell that of Clone Wars TV show. Yeah
Individually rendered whatever that means
It's technical Bernie. It's a group rendering. It's not you know that wasn't gameplay footage
Hey, you know what wasn't in that list. There was a great trailer was the Lefford Ed 2 trailer
Yeah, the Lefford Ed introduction cutscene that was a very very good one. I don't know why I wasn't in there
I don't either I probably still would have picked Star Wars
I would too. I would too, but it was it was good. It was as good as called duty. Yeah, I'll give you that
There was a trailer that was leaked
From valve and then the meet the spy
Was leaked from valve as well and then of course we don't know half life to was leaked from valve and I just saw today
There's a dude playing Half Life 2 on the
tall and it's it's cell phone footage leaked I assume from Valve. I think Valve needs to lock
their doors in a plumber. Yeah that's a pretty leaky valve. I wonder why why so much stuff come out of
there. I don't know. It makes a lot of people trying to get stuff out there. It's leaked. Wink. Wink.
Make a lot of people trying to get stuff out there. It's leaked wink wink
All right, so let's move on to best online non-league video of
2009 no, we do we do we didn't do best video game of the year. Oh, oh
Video game sorry cuz I had the same titles as some of the trailer one. Sorry. You want to leave video game for the end of the year or for the last One you want to leave the online video for the end. Okay, whatever you want. I'm good
Okay, so let's do an online video guys we're online video guys. Maybe we'll leave the online video.
Everybody has best video game.
We should make a poll about which poll we should do.
We should do last.
Alright, best video game of the year.
Best video game of 2009.
As voted by the audience.
The audience award for the first annual drunk tank awards.
For Best Video Game in 2009.
Goes to Joel.
Modern warfare too. Modern warfare too the what were the contenders there from the very popular
Call of the D. Franchise ODST modern warfare to Leford dead to uncharted to assassins Creed 2
You see a theme here and Batman Arkham asylum that is crazy because brutal legend was in our list
But what was added for theirs Arkham asylum? I think Arkham might have been there.
I think we considered in ours, we also considered Brutal Legend as well. I think it's Shiburdo Island
considered. But a lot of good games this year. I mean everything was considered, right? But we did
narrow down a bit. But those are old sequels, except for Batman Arkham Asylum, and that's a reboot
essentially. It's a franchise. Of a Batman game. Yeah, and 2010's not looking any different.
Except now they're all going to have threes. Well, it's just a lot of twos coming up
Oh, I bet brutal legend was really one of the only new IPs that we considered. Are they gonna make a brutal legend to you?
You know, geez. I don't know. I hope they don't say I hope they do
They're cranking at DLC right now, so they're supporting it. So yeah, borderlands by the way is already on a second DLC
Yeah, that's pretty fast. Just pretty fast. Just came out yesterday.
A August planet.
And what's our choice? Our choice for best video game of the year
2009, first annual drunk tank awards. Left for dead two.
Yes, hands down. I'm sure it's going to be a controversial decision. See, what do you think that?
I think we have a lot of modern warfare two fans. I would say,
what I said, what I felt was
Well, and here's my rationale for voting for Lefford dead to the the delta between Lefford dead one and Lefford dead two was greater than the delta between modern warfare one and modern warfare two
Modern warfare this modern warfare two is not as good as modern warfare one. I don't think it's a good game
Here a game, but not as good as modern warfare
Here here's my feeling the game the game play that you were doing yesterday with Jack
That the whole
Speckups all that spec ops like that that to me gave the game a whole second life as I finished the campaign all those
I love all those mission. Let me ask you a question
Show in three months. What are you more likely to put in your Xbox left for dead to or Montenegro for two?
Your you're gonna be playing left for dead to until effort at three comes out. You're gonna get more gameplay out of that than model warfare. You're right
And you got a big picture like what are you gonna get the most value out of I think like
Is because left for dead to is just more of a community game to me sure?
I guess.
My word for it has the same multiplayer.
But modern warfare also you have that bite size where you know in three months you're
going to be able to put the disc in and get matched in the same kind of game you got
matched in on day one.
Yeah.
It's going to be harder to put together a Leftford Ed game.
Or you're going to have to, because Leftford Ed is a small enough group where you can get four
people together and you can all play.
That's a lot easier in the first month or two.
You don't tend to just drop into a party and left for dead, right Joe?
I do.
You just ran to matchmaking?
Yeah.
I do.
I do.
Random matchmaking.
Left for dead.
The scavenge mode is a totally new mode in left for dead two.
The way the campaign is done with the way they do the objectives, totally different, the
mainly weapons systems different.
Modern refer to, I really don't feel like there's
anything new in there at all I think it's spec ops spec ops is awesome spec ops is
really fucking cool but spec ops is really just a mile high club game type they
took my high club expanded yeah go up my high club yeah for sure and they just
expand a little bit that's a bad thing but I no I mean I don't think we're I don't
think we're arguing with each other.
We're just looking at both sides of the issue. Yeah. And I think we're just trying to explain why we
chose Lefford Ed to over modern warfare too. Also, I have the feeling that Val was going to support
Lefford Ed to more than infinity world will support Call of Duty. I think. I mean, why does that figure
into your decision? Because I'm looking at what I'm going to get. I know that they'll be DLC packs
coming out for Lefford Ed to, that I can continue to go back and enjoy the game looking at what I'm going to get. I know that there'll be DLC packs coming out for Left 4 Dead 2 that I can continue to
go back and enjoy the game.
And if I get tired of it, there'll be a survival mode will come out or a new multiplayer
mode.
The one thing that I really want from Valve and I just wish they would have more maps.
In other words, when they gave the DLC, I mean, I can't even remember, would they add
one map at the end, they there towards the end, right?
For Leffer, yeah.
So it was more common.
It was a new campaign with three maps, essentially.
Right.
And I want, I just, I want more as all.
I don't want more.
Here's how I can tell I don't want more.
Is that I have one expert campaign completed.
I'm Leffer dead too, and I can't believe I've got to do four more of those.
It seems like an instrumentable amount of levels to go through on expert.
So I'm perfectly happy with the amount of level.
Which one is you completed?
We completed the mall one, dead center.
You know, I don't know.
To me, this goes back.
I just wish they would, I don't know.
Achievements are so diffracted now.
There's so many achievements you have to get in every game.
It's just, I don't know.
Well, if you consider this, let's say there's
an average of about four and a half maps per campaign
Because some have four levels and some have five levels in them
Mm-hmm, and there's five campaigns. So, you know, you're looking at about 22 levels
That this game shipped with nothing ships with that many. I mean Halo ships with a tunnel levels
And that's got about 13 when you get it
How many just use a warship with in multiplayer levels? Oh like nine
I mean the one thing about value you could say is that or the about left for dead is that just use a worship within multiplayer levels? Oh, like nine. I mean the one thing about Valvigatze is that, or the
about Leffer Dead is that the campaign levels are the multiplayer levels as well.
Yeah. People are just thrown off because you know, it's like, oh, there's only four
campaigns. There's only five campaigns. Yeah, but this fucking, you know, five
maps. But here's the thing. Valvigatze has got me asking all the right questions.
Oh, they've got me asking all the right questions, which is, I love your game.
I just want more of it. Yeah, that's where you that's where you want to be. I'm I want to know more about the story of Lefford at two
Oh, yeah, I mean because I don't give you enough
I almost in Lefford at three. I almost want to see the two groups meet somehow
Well, they already are already an out and outside in Lefford at two deals. You're gonna do that
And there you go
And if people are complaining about the story of Avatar somebody explain the goddamn story of modern warfare to me
I mean just from beginning to end just start telling the story and see if you go no wait not now wait wait
I mean there's a lot of the game where it's like dramatic moment. It's like what why did this happen?
This doesn't even make sense why this happens. Yeah, there's no setup for this and then there's no
I don't even know who this character is you know
What who cares? Yeah, I mean that's the thing and they have you leaping from one dude to another dude.
Yes.
Like, what was cool at first?
Because like, wow, how are they going to wrap this up?
You know, it's like, oh, maybe they're just not going to wrap it up.
Maybe it's just going to get more confusing.
And they do weird stuff, like in the trailer, you see that space shot and you're like,
fucking ass, you're not fighting.
This is going to be awesome.
And then in the game, you're like, why did I do that?
That was a point of that.
It was, yeah, totally unnecessary.
You know, I'm sort of think with video games and story.
I'm starting to think, especially with shooter games, less is more.
Yeah.
Because you can't compete with a 40 second cutscene
when you just went through two hours of shooting, maybe over the course of two or three days.
And then you come back to a story and it's like, what was this? Well, that might be why you like left for dead the left for dead series. It's the story is very minimal and
But there's more it's told while you're playing and you and you can read the walls
Yeah, they do it so smartly because there's more there if you want to seek out and find it
If you want to go look at all the messages and piece shit together, you can do that and that's a very fucking cool
Essentially, it's there's always everywhere
We need to get out of here.
But you're not beat down with it.
And I didn't play Boob or Legend, but I watched you play it.
But another thing I want to say about Leffer dead too,
it's the funniest game of the year.
They put humor in that game in a way that actually works.
Yeah, Leffer, the legend was pretty fucking funny.
They were both funny, which is like that.
That's how it's called.
But Ellys is hilarious.
Oh yeah.
And it's not what's done, and it's not, yeah, it's not too handy. It's like, yeah, you might hear one or maybe two L.S.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E.K.E 12 minutes. But God say, say something funny.
Okay, we're ready to move on to best online video of the year. Yeah, what were what were?
No, we excluded people kept wondering why we didn't include red versus blue in this.
But this is just the one off.
Yeah, you know, one hit video thing that does well and we're gonna put our own thing.
And obviously we would win our own.
We can have like a conversation about about best reverse blue character and watch the four of us argue. Then there'd be a fight
over the gift certificate. Forget about it. I can news all your characters are dead.
Oops, church wins. But I just want to also mention two. That just makes our characters more
entertained. So we might do in the future, we might do online series, but that's probably awards for
somebody else to do. These are just fun little one-off video awards.
Yeah.
Okay, best online video of 2009,
for the first annual drunk tank awards,
the audience award narrowly goes to
Gravity Defying Drunk.
The Gravity Defying Drunk.
What were the nominees again?
It was Gravity Defying Drunk.
It was
It was a Dicy Beatboxer,
the 2009 Malibu versus 1959
Belair that's awesome surprise kitty David after the dentist smartest criminal ever and gravity to find I I really really really need
Someone to get the old Star Trek music that
We don't
And lay that over the gravity to find drunk because that will be the greatest
You should have like the alarms going off on the bridge and like a shot of like women shatner of racing himself against the chair
Well somebody please do that some photon torpedoes hitting him it won by a margin of six votes
Was that our closest one the second place pretty close? Oh it beat it beat the surprise kitty surprise kitty is pretty cute
Yeah, which is more recent as well. Yeah, someone pointed out in the polls that the more recent ones are doing very very well David after the dentist was
Except in the case of Star Trek, which one?
except in the case Star Trek right they were talking specifically about the online video
And David after the dentist was when it came out I when I found out that it was in 2009 and we had it to add it in late
I thought oh this is clearly gonna win, but it came in what?
This place second from the bottom. Yeah, I didn't like that after the dentist really no
Why do you think it was exploitive of the kit or something? I did okay? Yeah, that's a good reason I guess I want
I'm so glad I dropped was one of the greatest things ever though
There's so many elements that make that an awesome video if you think David after the dentist the video was exploitive
I would not go back and watch
it now.
Oh yeah.
Because the video is covered with annotations and the side bars filled with all sorts of
merchandise with the kids face on it where the dad is now selling shirts and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah man.
So I want to see the person who owns that kitty, put it up on eBay.
See how much we've got kitty.
I bet you get a lot.
How are we going to get a trophy to grab it? Do you
define drunk or we have to hide it like in a 12 pack and put it on the street at 10
in the morning and hope he finds it. You and I should get drunk and accept it in his
honor. You can now go to David after the dentist after dentist.com and by all sorts of
things. You're one of those guys like trying to like you know give his kids different
like you know pharmaceutical drugs and see what the reactions. Hey man, what's kid through college with the hell right? Yeah, if it does or just
buys that a new car right? That is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Dad gets Alexis. Yeah,
it's pretty bad. Bernie is showing this this has this terrible the the site for the t-shirts for
the kisses awful. All right, fair enough guys. Well did Joe Jackson. And who did we award our award for best online video of 2009?
I think we did Gravity Departing Drunk.
It wasn't even close.
Gravity Departing Drunk.
The best video ever made.
When I was going to vote for it, I would have voted
for probably Cat versus Cop, which didn't actually
make it a final joke.
Cat versus Cop's pretty funny.
And when I was posting the links to it,
I watched the Gravity Departing Drunk truck and it was impossible not to laugh. The great thing about that
was that it immediately spawned all the side videos, like the old timey gravity to find drunk.
The old timey gravity to find drunk's awesome. And then there was like the 2001 Gravity Define truck.
There's so many awesome videos. The reason why we probably like this video the best is because we
relate to it so well.
No, it's easy to point in saying that's not me.
There's so many worse than me.
I haven't hit bottom yet. Look at that.
I didn't get that drunk till noon that day.
There are little elements. It's just like leopard in.
You can go back and look at the little parts to it.
You can see him trying to play it off when the guy comes up to it.
Yeah, it's got like a structure. It's like it raises the stakes when they finally discover them in the back.
I was like, oh, like a journey is like it raises the stakes when they finally discover them in the back I was like oh
Like the journey out of the store and we make it. How do you know?
How did the no one notice him is what is it still floors me about that?
Well, you know that like people were probably seeing him out of it
But you there were like I'm not acknowledging this
Because hey man when you see it now you're responsible
Yeah, you have to like the entrance is the best
Just the guy. guy was so fucking cool.
He's like, oh, I just stole it and got it down.
So congratulations to you drunk guy.
The person who posted this was Sir Flanagan,
but that was just the guy who posted it on YouTube.
I wonder where this came from.
I don't know.
Maybe somebody in the audience knows.
We can do some research.
The YouTube video does have a break watermark on it too.
So it must have come from here.
Yeah, the first place I saw it was break.
Gosh, unbelievable.
Well, congratulations to you, nameless guy.
I hope you're getting the help you deserve.
Or at least another suitcase full of a natty light.
And it does seem very appropriate
to give the drunk tank award to the drunkest person of 2000.
That's the drunkest thing I've ever seen.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone drunker than that dude that it was impressive
Maybe dead that actually like maybe like you know somebody who lives in a jar filled with
I don't be drunker than that guy
It's you've never seen like a clear like illustration of like someone's drunkness
And you know transposed into physicality
Transposed into physicality
Body man of drunk what was your now? What was your favorite moment? 2009 give me a good moment from the drunk tank. Isn't it? We're now what all to 45 weeks in
You know what the best moment of 2009 was what that was about the middle of March my friends
Yes, and that was the bottom of the stock market. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good moment for me
All right, I'm sure I'll look at this anyway.
Yeah, I don't even understand the bottom of the stock market.
When your parents are no longer crying, that's...
Yeah, I don't know, what about you, Bernie?
What was your best moment of 2009?
Man, I don't know.
I've had a pretty good 2009.
I'm looking really looking forward to 2010.
I really am.
I've read a lot of articles talking about
just the decade in general, how this wasn't a great decade for America specifically. And I agree with that. And I'm seeing people having a lot of optimism going into the New Year and going into the new decade.
And I'm one of them. I'm on board. I gotta say I think this is a bad thing, but I think from the end of World War II to the real estate bubble America has been like the king of the world in every sense of the word.
I think that's over. I think this is the beginning. I think that things are going to be
different now. I think China is going to be, and this is a long-term deal where we're talking
generations, but I don't know the United States of America will see times as good as they have been
from 1945 to 2009. So yeah, optimistic.
Very much for Joll thinks so as well.
Now it's going to be a great year.
It's going to be the best year of all time for video games.
It has the potential to be.
Let me see if I understand this right now.
I want to see if I got Joll's point.
Joll is pessimistic and it's concerned that some things
might not be good.
But Jeff brings up an excellent point.
There will be excellent video games.
It's going to be if half of the games they're
supposed to come out in 2010 come out and don't get pushed, it's going to be a fucking retarded year excellent video games. It's gonna be if if half of the games they're supposed to come out in 2010 come out and don't get pushed it's gonna be
a fucking retarded year for video games. We'll see. So the first quarter the
first quarter looks like a holiday. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see.
Yeah, I mean, nuts. I mean we are definitely heading into the next phase of the
video game industry where we're not seeing too much original stuff anymore.
No, we're definitely not.
And next year looks like a lot of sequels, like you said.
I mean, everything we're looking forward to is a major sequel to a major friend.
Well, there's a lot of original IPs coming out.
We're not going to disagree there.
Red Dead with Dead.
Well, I guess we're going to get into the sequels.
But like Alan Wake, looking forward to that.
I like the Darks and Wake.
Alan Wake, Bayonetta, Dark Siders.
Dante's?
Is that originaliders Dante's
Is that original Dante's in front of yeah, I guess that's an original IP. I mean it I guess
Beast off the book
But it's not a video game sequel. I guess sure mag. Yeah, it's exactly what you say
Yeah, there's there's a lot of new stuff coming out a lot of sequels coming out to the head
There's a lot of sequels it's it's easier to recoup your money when you're doing it over, you know, a two or three title cycle. Yeah. Once you have that engine and all that cost is,
you know, this is just I think this is true for entertainment in general. I mean, this is where
money is made is on franchises. Mm-hmm. I do agree with you that people seem to be more optimistic.
I mean, people are ready to put 2009, 2008 and 2009 behind them and move on. People seem to be
generally happier. Yeah, fuck that. It's in the rear of your window. Yeah, let's go on to the future
I'm excited about I guess the best the best part of 2009 for me was achieved in a hundred
Didn't you start that in 2008 though? I started in the summer of 2008
But I felt like this fall is when it like everything started firing on all cylinders and I started to get happy
That I was where I wanted to be with it good Good. Yeah. I think it's got to get's come along.
Yeah, I've been free. I have a special guest here. Gavin's here.
Gavin's going to tell us his favorite moment from 2009. Gavin, can you hear me?
Gavin? Maybe we should have rehearsed this.
Gavin! It better not be when I bust on my fucking leg.
Hello. Oh, there he is. Hold on a second.
I'm gonna, you're gonna hear some mic noise here for a second.
I'll just get an anecdote later.
Hey, Gav.
Hey, what's up?
So, what was your favorite moment from 2009?
Was it being under the chair?
Did I throw on top of you?
Tron trailer.
That was your favorite moment of the year?
Is it a fucking trailer?
What kind of a loser are you all right by Gavin
it's like when they do interviews on God he just continues to disappoint and
the okay that obviously did not work out very well so his favorite moment in
the entire year was the tron trailer which didn't even come out this year do
didn't they show it at they showed it a comic on 2008. Gus' favorite moment from 2009 was when Gav spoke,
because now he's got something to rip on.
I mean, I wish he was here so I could hit him.
I'm sorry, the skis.
Well, we got to go outside and punch Jack though.
I apologize.
God dammit, Jack.
It's like a Jack in here,
so let's get Brandon in here so we can yell at someone.
I love Gavin, y'all love Gavin.
All right, he's my favorite Frenchie.
So I'm looking forward to 2010.
I hope the rest of you are looking forward to 2010 as well
I think it's gonna be a great year for us here at Richie and I think it's gonna be a great year for everyone in general
Maybe even those of you who don't live in the kingly country
It's gonna be a busy year for Richie's. Yeah a lot of her play this year coming up. Yeah, especially in that first quarter especially in that first quarter
well
All right
Gus
Yeah, thank you for your learning the drunk tank podcast. You did a great job, buddy.
Let's hope it lasts another month. I think one episode at a time.
Yeah, what are we aware of? This is episode number 42.
42. Wow. Out of how many? Well, we were actually a little over a year old now.
No. Yeah, but our first podcast I think was like
55 weeks ago. Oh, that's when we were doing the
one every couple of months. Right. Exactly. Oh, you know, it's interesting. Bernie pointed out to me that the drunk tank
podcast is about to have more episodes than the drunk the original drunk tank. That's okay.
Yeah, we're about to equip the Simpsons
Take them out. All right. We should probably end on a high note then. Simpsons, gun smoke.
All right.
Have a happy new year everyone.
Don't drink too much.
TTFN.
Also drink a lot.
