And a pee already
You guys go with the theme song
You just turned off the ringer! It's a fucking button! Push it! You don't have to spend a time with him! And go back and kill Elk and Randbele!
Just fucking turn off the goddamn phone!
That is fucking awesome!
Shut up, damn it!

I Bernie did this cool thing to me
Well, then I before it last I stayed up till like four in the morning helping Griffin do something for her career sex stuff
Yeah, and no dude, I wish and and and we're married. We don't person. Oh, okay. It was just for career
You said yeah, that's a good point and then last night at about I was working on some bioshop videos and then at about
11 o'clock Bernie message me and said, Hey, can you proof a video for me in about 45 minutes?
And I was like, Oh, shit, I was about to go to bed. I was like, Yeah, no problem. The
dude's gonna work. He's about some of his ass. Yeah, I'll stay up and proof it. And then
at about like, I don't know, 11.45, he goes, it'll be like another half hour. And I'm like,
okay. And then like 12.45, he goes, no, 15 minutes, and I go, okay.
You see you're in the slippery slope.
And then at like 145, he just logged off.
So I just went to bed.
So I stayed up till two last night waiting to prove a video
that never showed up.
I wish he was here to defend himself,
but for the third week in a row, he's bailed on us.
I think ever since he had that conversation
about a late night television,
he's been afraid to show his face here on the podcast again.
That might be it, I don't know. We ran him off.
For shame. I hope that was an impassion in the conversation.
Yeah, it definitely was. How about you, Joel? How are you doing?
I'm doing good. Nothing going on. Really? That's like a first for you, isn't it?
It is a first for me. I would like to get the guitar here a version of that intro though.
We could figure that one out. That would be pretty awesome.
I wonder what he would call that song. What's it called? Let me look. I rename them all when I get
them so I know what I'm doing. He didn't call it anything. He called it RT intro edit. It's my Josh
Clark who is Holysticks 04. It's the I.X. It's out of course. It sounds like you guys were a
little less in a press with the last night's loss
Is that right? Do we want to get into that?
Here we mention it. It was a
It was slow. I'm you know, I feel like there's a lot of exposition going on right now
I'll say this I don't want to spend another 20 minutes talking about loss in the podcast
Especially because there wasn't 20 minutes worth of stuff to talk about in last-sense episode
But hey, we have what 15 episodes to go in the whole series
and a lot of unanswered questions to tie up.
I think of it.
So why not address something in the episode?
That was the most boring, rambling, not a god damn thing
happened episode.
I've seen at least probably two seasons.
How many episodes do you think have that you've seen of laws
which just had no payoff whatsoever?
It was just, well, when I was watching it initially,
when I watched the first time
through when the first season was airing,
I kind of felt like that.
I felt like a lot of stuff was just slow
and nothing was resolving, nothing was happening.
And I was really on the fence about
to show the whole first season.
But like looking back now and watching it, I love it.
Really?
I think it's fantastic.
It's one of the better seasons.
So I wonder if I'm just too close to it now.
Like I was to the first season when that was there. Let me ask you question
What was the best thing to come out of last night's episode to you?
I think the best thing in last night's episode was when Jack swallows the pill and the dude tries to get him to like the dude
Goes from like being very cool and collected to like all of a sudden panicking and trying to beat it out of him
That was kind of cool. Were you excited to see Claire return?
It was interesting to see Claire return. I was under the impression we wouldn't see her again
on the island. No, I kind of always assumed we would. He figured that like, I mean, you get the
impression that she's an agent of the bad guy, right? Right in a black and that he's going to be
amassing some sort of army for a final showdown. So then was Jack's dad also working for the bad guy?
Yeah, or he was the bad guy, but they were in Jacob's cabin. See, yeah, but Jacob's cabin, they were in Jacob's cabin
and when they went and found them, they saw that the what's that like the
silt or the dust or whatever that they circled the cabin with had been broken.
Mmm. And that's what that's how they were able to be. And is that why Lockhart, the whisper of help me? Yeah. And also, I think that I think Jack's dad, it
was actually the man in black, at least that's always the impression I got, because he can
they can essentially inhabit any dead people, right? Which is why they were scared that
Syed had been turned essentially in the episode. And I guess maybe he has. Anyway, so that's that's's at least why I always understood that they were in the cabin.
And that's why they burned the cabin down at some point.
When we were watching last night, my wife had forgotten that Claire was Jack's half sister.
Oh really?
Like that was like, she was like, who's your sister?
Who's that?
It's like it's Claire.
So we'll see.
I think they're starting to bring things back together
But I read like reminding people of things like that. I hope they go somewhere with the flash like the sideways flashes
Because they're not doing anything for me the sideways flashes. Oh like the alternate. Yeah, I don't know what else to call them
They're not flash forward. They're not flash backwards, but they're like flash the prime
Flash left as you guys talk about this I could only think that if only there was a way to combine fallout and
Lost into one thing then we could really have a conversation
You know I'm afraid sometimes when I'm talking about lost that it sounds like I'm talking about a soap opera like oh
Claire's really his long lost half sister. It sounds like I'm eating I am
buddy
And it's always those got amnesia but they're in a coma
I am using buddy. It is a sell-in.
No.
And it's always those guy, Amnesia, but they're in a coma.
It's a clutch.
It's a clutch.
And Lox not really dead.
I'm watching Guiding Light, aren't I?
Yeah, it's pretty much.
I've been lying to myself for the past experience.
Guiding light with special effects and guns.
It's all it is.
I don't know how people feel.
I'm gonna change this subject.
I don't know how people feel about the iPad. change the subject. I don't know how people feel about the iPad
Very much is like going back and forth. I know that Gus had a strong feeling about the iPod when it came out
And I think you were right on but apparently Disney had his conference call last night
And if you got like a nickel for every time that Disney brought up the term iPad you'd be a millionaire. Well, they're really that that's synergy Joel
That's that's the whole Pixar Apple Connection. Yeah, concerning how much they're in love with the iPad and how much they think
that it's going to be the thing and how much they're reading their content to be applied
to this thing. When the iPod first came out, I remember I may have even talked about this
on on the podcast, you know, everyone on Slashdot was talking about what a piece of shit
it was and how it was overpriced and, you know, I had some comments and they're talking
about how I, you know, all was pretty warm missing the point. It was
fantastic. You know, it's going to be a huge piece of technology and it
changed everything. I don't feel that way about the iPad, but I'm reserving
judgment until I get my hands on one. It seems like every time a little piece of
technology comes out, it's like, wait, you see the ESPN application for this. It's
going to be great. Every single one of them, like, fails just about. But again,
last night, Disney was touting, wait, you see this ESPN app that you can have
for the iPad, it's gonna be great.
That's also synergy.
I don't know.
I'm not gonna say too much bad about it
until I actually use one and see what it's capable of.
Obviously if they can do for video,
what they did for audio, through a device it will be huge.
The question is, can it make that happen?
I'm buying one on day one. you guys more than welcome to use mine
yeah because I would this was 2010 was going to be the year that I bought an
e-reader anyway and it's like a hundred bucks more expensive than a
Kindle and you have a Kindle right I don't have a Kindle yeah but I was good
because there's a there's a bunch of like five new e-readers that are gonna hit
the market this year that are all pretty cool and so I was gonna get one of
those and I figured I'll just lay down another hundred bucks and buy an iPad and then I'm going to
give it to Griffin because she does a lot of, she does design work you know like designing sets
and stuff for plays and she always has to go to meetings and borrow my laptop and she's always
having to sketch on pieces of paper to show people stuff and this you know it has that that
that perfect brushes for her do you know she can just sketch right on the screen and
it's perfect I do you know a single person that has a candle that doesn't love it?
No.
Well, I only know Bernie.
Is the only person I know that has a candle, but he loves it.
Yeah, every person that I know that has a candle loves it.
Are you going to get the Wi-Fi or the 3G1?
I'm going to get the Wi-Fi one because I don't think Griffin.
I don't intend to pay 3G.
And I don't think it would get used anyway.
And honestly, where do we go that we can't connect to Wi-Fi in Austin anyway
It's true for the most part when I had my when I had my iPod touch there were places I wish and don't you get free AT&T Wi-Fi?
Yeah, you can connect to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots for so even if we're like in the airport or whatever
We'll be fine and that in the Austin airport or most air
Yeah, they don't like that. They don't know first in, the iPad that has capable of doing Wi-Fi and 3G?
No, yeah, they do.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's an extra $100.
Yeah, the 3G version also has Wi-Fi.
I see, okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
But I don't think I would use the 3G very often.
And the few times that I would need it,
I could probably just use my iPhone,
which already has 3G.
So I don't see a reason to pay an extra $20 a month.
Does the iPad have Bluetooth?
And eventually, when you can tether your iPhone, thanks, you know, eventually when you can tether your iPhone, you know, thanks AT&T. When you can eventually
tether your iPhone, will you be able to tether it to your iPad? I mean, that would make
sense, right? Why wouldn't you be able to? Because AT&T is a piece of shit, you know,
they promised you'd be able to do that last summer. You still can't do it. It's true. We'll
see, huh? I'm trying to see. I don't know that it has Bluetooth, necessarily. I don't
know what you would use Bluetooth on it for. Yeah, I don't know.
No, it does have Bluetooth 2.1 and EDR. I'm pretty excited about it though. I don't...
If it wasn't for my wife, I don't think I would buy one just because I don't...
I don't think I would use it enough, but I'm excited to see how much she uses it. And then I can just borrow it and see how cool it is.
Sure. Because if it's as cool as they say it's going to be.
And I've learned to trust Apple over the years, you know, for the most part.
So.
I don't know.
There's a couple of missteps in there.
There's a few missteps.
There's a few missteps in there.
The TV thing.
Apple TV.
I don't know if I'd consider it.
Yeah.
We can't miss them. I don't know.
What do you think us?
Apple TV is stupid.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I should explain before I just write stuff off like that. They're
doing stuff to fix it. I felt like Apple TV got off on the wrong foot because they were
the initial models when it first came out, you couldn't do HD. And that was, you know,
that was, I didn't understand that. I remember you and I went as soon as they got them in
the Apple store, you and I went up to check them out and it looked like shit Yeah, it's terrible and they've done a lot of stuff
You know they fixed that and the new software works a lot better
They just need to integrate the PC experience more so that you can use it as a standalone as opposed to like needing
To get your media off of a computer or if they iPod or something if they pipe who lose into the Apple thing
I'll buy one that day. Yeah, if they could pipe it, you know
I'll buy two or if they could you you know what are those programs like boxy? I think yeah, yeah, there's a bunch of those
But this iPad looks like you can that guess they've got a case for it and a keyboard you can plug into it and all kinds of shit
Where's it coming out?
March, I think the Wi-Fi version comes out in March. I think that's 3G version comes that navel. Yeah, so I'll be getting it in like
Three weeks maybe. I'm curious to see how that processor of theirs works out. Oh yeah,
they're custom built a storm processor. It's gonna be cool. I hope it's not a dud. Well,
for your sake, I hope it's not a dud idea. I mean, even if it is kind of a dud, the reason
I'm buying it, I think it'll still get it'll be used appropriately in my household.
So it's gonna work regardless
But my wife hates it that she will not every time she sees her she sees someone talking about it
She will not talk about how stupid it is. That's it. I always just calm down. She has an iPhone
I was like your iPhone's like that's in her big deal is she like let's say you have an iPad right? Yeah
She says how she wants to be able to prop it up and type on it. She doesn't understand
You would why you would look down and type or why you would hold it up and type. But you can do that. They sell a
docking bay for it. Yeah, but just the device itself should be able to do that.
I believe your iPhone doesn't. Yeah, but your iPhone fits like this in the palm of
your hand. I've had a little too big for that. Yeah, but I can see her point on that.
I guess, but most tablets are, you know, same thing. All e-readers are like that.
You can't type, but you can't prop up a candle. Yeah, but this is more than a e-reader. They're not touting it as a knee reader and tablets have
You know a lot more like handwriting recognition stuff, which is dumb. I'm glad they don't have that
I don't know. I'm not sure I'm not sure I'm sold on it either just because it's like you know the iPod
I phone something they can fit in your pocket and you can take with you and it has all these full capabilities that works
I don't see people carrying around.
And unless, if there's a way that you can have a device
that fits in your pocket and then it somehow
projects a screen that's large, that's a good thing.
Or it folds out.
Or an iPad that folds down to the size of an iPhone.
It's like, hold on.
For years, I heard the rumor about how Apple was coming up
with this technology that it would basically
project a keyboard, like a light, it would protect the light keyboard. And you'd type on that. And that technology that it would basically project a keyboard like a light
It would take the light keyboard and you'd type on that and that's how it would work. I've seen this keyboards before
Those keyboards exist they if they're kind of hard like they're a little slower than you would expect because I would expect it to be pretty slow actually
Like it's it's weird to type and not have you know the tactile feel
Feedback from a keyboard. It's almost like they would have to like you not have the tactile feedback from a keyboard.
It's almost like they would have to have this fake sound clicks every time.
This is like process at correct length.
I think that that thing will come in handy on trips too.
When we travel a lot, and I think that would be a lot of fun on a plane.
Yeah, the battery life is great.
It's fantastic.
And I don't always want to lug my laptop around.
How much does that thing weigh? It's like two pounds.
It's 1.5 pounds.
1.5 pounds, that's perfect. point six eight kilograms for the rest of the world
I can picture myself on a trip where I'm not gonna take my laptop though
So it's like a thing where it's like well now I'm taking my laptop and this I pass
I would that could replace my laptop in a second as long because as long as you can get on
Yeah, well Safari and check your mail Jolene. I go on daddy trips and do work
Oh, I think I'm those daddy trips and I think does what I guess if you wanted to do editing on your laptop, there would be that or transfer files.
I guess it's limited.
It can't do.
It can't replace a laptop for.
I want to I editing station.
That's a portable editing station that also can have an FTP and.
Functionally that's what I want.
So you want your laptop.
Every day you got one. You got a MacBook Pro. You got a MacBook Pro. I went with you when you bought it.
So Jeff you're playing 5shock 2 right now. Yeah I'm playing the hell out of it. What do you think
about that? It's a lot like by shock one. Did you play by shock one? Yes. Did you like it? I did.
Then you would it probably be my only feeling about
BioShock was I remember it won the game of the year when it came out. Yes, it
did. Is there any is there any connection between that show the video game
awards and video games? Have you guys like found a single of the VGA? Have you
found a single connection between the VGA's and video games. They show video game trailers.
I don't know. I mean, they have fake exclusive trailers.
But I don't get is like all these games get like Game of the Year or whatever.
Who awards that? Cause there's like five games of the year.
Like there's like five different games that will come out and have like Game of the Year edition.
Yeah, well, I mean all you have to do is get a magazine to call your game of the year, right?
Like Game Spot calls your game of the year. You get to be game of the year.
And you get to put it on your on your box art, I guess.
I guess so.
There needs to be a standard.
I agree with that.
I do.
There needs to be like a ratings where like
the awesome governing body.
Yeah.
Right.
I guess that's what the VJs are trying to be.
Like the S R V game.
Game of the year.
There was no fighting this game.
No, I'm just kidding.
This is our game of the year.
I'm surprised they made a sequel to BioShock.
I really am.
I felt like the original BioShock wrapped up so neatly and was like a self-contained package. I don't, and I haven't paid by a truck to you. I hope it's not a spoiler if I say, you know, you're right. They wrapped it up so good. It's like they had to go forward in time. Right? Story makes sense. I think so. I think it makes it's written in a way that makes it feel consistent and also,
I don't know if it's necessary is the word,
but it doesn't feel like a stretch to me.
I don't think that it's possible,
if someone produces a video game
and it makes X amount of dollars,
it's not possible to not have a sequel.
No, absolutely.
No, I don't mean that.
Whether it's good or not,
they're gonna make it.
The day the BioShock got game of the year,
you had to know hell,
the day it sold a million copies,
you had to know there'd be a sequel.
Of course. And there's, I get newsread. There'll be a Bioshock 3 too. You know, just like
there's gonna be mass effect 3 and fallout. Unless Bioshock 2 doesn't do well, but it probably
will. It probably will do well. It's gonna, it's doing well. I'm concerned about, I haven't
really played the multiplayer either. You know, we worked on commercial spot and, uh,
the game and we, we, we used multiplayer to make that commercial. We spent like, but that's not really playing the game. We spent
several days within the multiplayer and the entire time we spent looking at a fish.
Yeah, we were looking at fish. Well, that's a problem with the kind of work we do. I know.
Yeah, so I have no idea. I mean, we play video games, but we don't play them. The fish,
by the way, is awesome. I am. And we also come up with like our own names for levels.
I don't have anything to do with the actual names.'s like let's go let's go to let's go to blanchers apartment. Okay, it's like
What level is that the mercury sweets is what it's actually we are experts
Even with the shorts we've got like four
Titles for each short that make total sense to all of us, but when you go to the site. It's not title a
The title I
Haven't I haven't had the opportunity to play the multiplayer yet, but I hear it's really, really good.
Everything I've read about it is that the multiplayer really shines.
But as far as single player, the only difference from Bioshock 1 is that the hacking is easier.
Like, they really dumb down the hacking, so you don't spend all day turning those little fucking tubes.
Which is much appreciated.
That's really weird to me. This is so dumb.
That was my favorite part. Oh really that got so old so good
Like remember the wet there was a there was a little game with the pipes called wet works
It was like from the 80s or something or from the nine early 90s that they just incorporated in a deck
Oh really I don't know
No, you might have made that game up. No
I'm sure I'm sure in your head you played it. Oh my god. That's awesome Really? No. You might have made that game up. No, I actually did not play that thing.
I'm sure in your head you played it.
Oh my God.
Sounds awesome.
So many magnos.
But it kind of reminds me of Mass Effect 2 and that they basically took Bioshock 1 and
streamlined it a little bit.
The game feels like it plays faster.
I don't feel like I'm spending as much time running around searching for shit like I
didn't buy a shock one.
It's not as, it's a lot more linear than buy a shock one was.
Like in buy a shock one,
you could pretty much explore the entire map at any point.
And that's definitely not the case in buy a shock too.
I have to disagree with you.
I don't think you'd explore the entire map
at any given point necessarily.
Well, you could go back and around and stuff.
You didn't have to go like necessarily
in the right order.
Yeah, they had a big open map and it was like,
you're a kid. Yeah, you have to go unlock X before you get the B.
Bioshock 2, it's once you clear a level you're done.
You can't go back.
Oh, really?
It's over, yeah.
And so it's like super linear and I didn't,
I don't get the feeling like in the level design.
So far, I'm only three or four levels in.
Like I would get to a world like a level in Bioshock.
And I'd be like, where the fuck do I go again?
There's like 12 doors to go through and I always feel like I was missing stuff. I don't feel like that at all in B BioShock. And I'd be like, where the fuck do I go again? There's like 12 doors to go through,
and I always feel like I was missing stuff.
I don't feel like that at all in BioShock.
I liked the map in BioShock one,
the way like when you pulled it up,
the icons they used to denote the different things.
Like I never-
I thought that was done well.
Like I never had to look at the key to figure it out.
Like, oh, there's a clown face here.
That means the circus of values is there.
Yeah, you know, stuff like that.
But I will say, if BioShock one didn't blow you away, I don't think Bioshock two will. It's just a
slightly faster. Well, it's more streamlined version of the first one. Now to jump
to the other side and play the other side of the coin, I hear that the story
picks up and really gets good at the very end though. Yeah, that's what I've
read to. I don't know what that would be, but I so far I'm really enjoying the
story. They have, you know, I'm collecting audio logs to your videos for achievement hunter
and there's like a hundred and 24 or so in there.
And the audio logs, I didn't pay any attention to them
in the first one, I collected them and didn't listen to them.
But there's a lot of like little side stories going on
in Bioshock 2 that are all pretty interesting.
Like I actually look forward to listening to the audio logs.
Yeah, the first time I played through Bioshock,
I didn't pay attention to audio logs either,
but I just replayed through it, you know,
last month to get ready for Biosho 2, and I paid attention to all the audio
logs this time around.
And yeah, it's the same thing, there's a lot of stuff going on that you can miss if you're
not paying attention to it.
That's so funny, it's like I had the exact same experience, you know, where it's just
like, you know, it's like, you don't want to throw up, just listen to them, you know, it's
so weird.
That's the same thing as like, essentially like with Mass Effect 2, and most of the Bioware
action RPG games, I would always just like like to get through the word you know the
text trees as quickly as I can to get back to fighting. Mass Effect 2 I've watched every scene and I've enjoyed every conversation.
I've already finished Mass Effect 2 twice once as a paragon once as a renegade and I'm starting my third and fourth playthroughs right now.
How's the ending? It's good.
It's dark.
When Mass Effect 1 came out, they said they wanted to make a trilogy and have three games.
Like Empire Strikes Back, the middle is always going to be kind of dark.
So the game ends kind of on an up note, but kind of on a bigger down note.
If that makes sense, so I'm really looking forward to the next one.
I will say I'm excited to get through BioShock so I can get back to playing Mass Effect
for fun.
And then once you can get back to Fallout.
Yeah, and then I can get back to Fallout, right?
You're never digging yourself out of this hole.
No, it's impossible.
And they just keep announcing games and they keep piling it on.
Like they just announced a new Ghost Recon coming out this year.
And fucking Assassin's Creed 3 is coming out next spring and a new mass effect in some way next spring.
New Medal of Honor this summer.
New Medal of Honor this summer.
We knew about that, but.
Yeah, but they just cemented it up that it was coming out this year.
Lego Star Wars comes out this year.
Lego Star Wars III.
God, it's just like every day there's a new game announcement.
Whatever, what ever happened to that Ubisoft game,
I'm still alive.
Was that what it was called? I'm alive, I'm alive. Yeah, that got pushed to the next year. I think oh, I did it. That's too bad
Yeah, I saw the trailer for that last year. I thought it was coming out last year. Yeah, we saw the trailer at E3 last year
right I think and
Yeah, there's just like and hell in the next couple weeks. We saw splinter so coming up pretty soon. Oh, yeah
Redemption is coming out really soon
Hey, bad that's about company two is on this way out. Mm-hmm. Hey, yeah, that's red redemption is coming out really soon. I am bad that's about company two is on this way out
Mm-hmm. Hey, yeah, yeah, you're speaking about company. I was in kind of a law recently
Where I didn't know what game to play so I've been playing a lot of battlefield in 1943 again. Oh, yeah, it's a lot of fun
Yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's a good day. It's on sale this week. I think yeah, I think it's right
It's like ten bucks this week. Yeah, yeah
If you didn't get it the first time I'd highly recommend picking that up
Maybe the best arcade game on the three six I think so that or shadow complex
I would say ooh shadow complex so good. I do also like Pac-Man C.E. though. Pac-Man C.E. is a lot of fun
It's just a different different. I feel like I feel like that was the first game where I've reached the limit of the controller on the Xbox
Where I just couldn't interface with it. I remember that you had a lot of trouble with Pac-Man C.E.
That little Pac-Man never went the direction you want them to go. Yeah, and it's funny because I feel like I still have the same experience in modern warfare to where it's like for some reason
someone walks up shoots Joel Joel then stabs at the air because I always mash down on that left
godfrican stick every single frickin time
I really I don't like the functionality of clicking down a lot. I'm too
You got too much tension. Yeah. Oh
Shit, that's another one day and that's another fucking dragon age next spring
Oh, yeah, right. I haven't played the first one yet. Should I go back and play that yeah totally?
It's like I feel like we're almost game to the point now where it's like games are good enough where it's like
Okay, if I didn't play Mass Effect 1,
it's like, if I play Mass Effect 2 and I'd like it, it's almost
like, well, I'm going to go back and buy Mass Effect 1. Yeah.
And the fall off isn't in terms of, you know, graphics and
it's not that much, you know? No, we're totally playable. What do
we six? How far into the Xbox are we? The 360? Six years,
five years. Four over a little over four years. It launched in
November of O5. so we are four years and
Three months in wow, I can look at my hoodie to tell me
And they launched November 21st 2005. There you go
You know is there any is there any talk of a new the next generation of PlayStation?
Not till what did they say 2012 at the earliest? Yeah, they're they're they're trying to get the most they can out of the current hardware
I think I read somewhere that they want a 10-year cycle which I'm totally fine with man. It's like Joel said it's
The Xbox 360 and I guess the PS3 are good enough that I don't feel any technical limitations
I don't feel any graphical limitations. I just I love the system and I just want to keep I just want them to keep developing games for this
Yeah, until you see the tech demos for the next generation and you like holy shit the stuff I'm playing looks like absolute crap. Yeah, I
guess let's take them as never. Never turn out. The last thing that you
see is like wow that that is just graphically. There's a next
generation step. There was a demo for when I feel like that
happened like five six years ago. Well, you see things are like, Oh
my God, you know, I haven't felt that. Is it me? I don't know.
There was this demo for the PS3 before the PS3 came out of this like
Uncharted 2 style third person shooter game where you were like in a desert and you were fighting do's and you slid over a car
Do you remember this this trailer Gus? Yeah, it was like the coolest looking game and I remember thinking like wow
That's the best looking video game I've ever seen it was like it was like playing a cutscene to the integri and then they just canceled the game.
I don't even remember the name of it.
We saw that demo at E3 and that's when Steven Spielberg was sitting next to us.
Oh yeah we sat next to Steven Spielberg.
Yeah that's the last time I felt like that and then you know they just do that.
I don't even think that game may have never actually been in development.
They may have just made a cool trailer to show off the PS3.
That final Fantasy 7 like remake in the PS3 and that final fantasy 7
Like remake in the PS3 engine was pretty cool. That was just like a tech demo though. Yeah, I don't know if you ever saw that I did see that
But any of everyone's you know so nostalgic with Final Fantasy 7
The you know when the original Xbox got launched they had that
Tech to monitor if you remember it of like that
That uh that girl walking alongside the robot moving and the robot was moving
Bill Gates did the unveiling on that.
I don't remember that.
It was like a giant mech standing next to her.
I'll put that in the link below.
Yeah, I don't know.
I do remember there being a trailer for an Xbox game when the Xbox is on its way out
that was kind of like something void maybe, not dark void, but something and it was like a
futuristic sci-fi like mechy kind of shooter that also looked really cool
and trailery or like really cutsceney and then that can never come in there.
I think that that might be duality that you're talking about.
Is it? Which was a game that got cancelled.
Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, I'll put it in the link down and you can tell me whether or not that would be game.
Well, so I'm still waiting for Dungeon Keeper 3 which is probably not gonna come out.
Well Tropical 3 comes out next week which I'm really excited about andgeon Keeper 3, which is probably not going to come out. Well Tropico 3 comes out next week, which I'm really excited about.
And if Tropico 3 is coming out next week, what should keep them from making a Dungeon Keeper 3?
There you go.
Those are Tropico 2 and Dungeon Keeper 2 came out more or less the same time.
Or the greatest game ever.
I thought that was a Dungeon Keeper was the greatest game ever.
Or that game, what was it called, Wetworks with the pipes?
I'm waiting for that.
Sorry, Graphic Woods, let's awesome do the water is so real the Tec demo for wet works
too was incredible which is funny to me because I think I actually got the
name of that game correct too and you still might believe it I'm sure
you guys can find it for the length of I hope so I played it on my palm phone
you know did you really yeah god like crazy know, I forgot I should have brought this up
right a second ago when we were talking about the original Xbox tech demo. You know Xbox Live for
the original Xbox getting turned off April 15th. That's true. Yeah, finally. Say again, the
the original Xbox will no longer be able to connect to Xbox Live effective April 15th. Also,
if you play original Xbox games in your 360, those won't be able to have live functionality anymore.
Halo 2? Nope.
So as a result, Bungie wants everyone to get together
April 14th and play Halo 2 for the last time,
because it's the last time we've played on Xbox Live.
I think that's a great idea. I think that'll be fun.
Yeah, I'm totally gonna do that. I can't remember the last time I played.
Halo 2. Yeah, I don't know, it's been a while.
If you haven't gotten all your achievements,
they're not any achievements. So, I don't know. It's been a while. If you haven't gotten all your achievements, they're on your own. They're on your own achievements. It's in it. So it's like one game. Well, Halo 2 PC has them.
Hey, I wonder how that's gonna work. Will they turn off? No, that's that's live for windows or... Is that so it's totally different? Yeah, I think so. Okay.
Hmm. God, it's so weird to me. Halo 2 didn't have achievements. Jesus. Yeah. It was a long time ago. Crazy. I don't know. It was a bad time for humanity.
Preachievements dark, dark ages.
That was the last game where I could convince myself that I didn't totally completely suck because there was no bar.
You know, yeah.
You know, I played it Halo 2 with you one time.
I remember just fucking on the office and you beat me like 40 to 2.
I hated you. That was the one that was the one of the very very rare times where I'd actually play it a game a lot
and
I got lucky but that it was funny is because I Jeff could you know
90% of the games out there he could beat me out, but it was so funny. They happened to be shooting a documentary
Oh, that's right. We have you guys playing the background
So somewhere there's a documentary.
You just watched it.
It's cool.
It was so fun.
It was brutal.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
Like, that goes to show you because it's like Jeff had been shooting machine-a-ma and the
Halo 2 environment a lot.
And I have been like playing it a lot.
Shooting in Halo 2.
It's like filming and playing.
Two different things.
That's two totally different things. It's like filming and playing two different things that's two totally different things
It's true. I saw an article the other day that talked about the Australian sensor board
has outlawed
Girls with small breasts from doing porn. Why would why they think that when women with small breasts do porn that it's
fetishizing pre-pubescent girls.
That's the...
And underdeveloped girls.
So weird is so...
I guess the Australian classification board no longer allows women with egg cups to
be in porn.
That's just bizarre.
That country is fucking weird.
Yeah, it's just...
The band mainstream pornography from showing women with egg cup breasts breasts apparently on the grounds that they encourage pedophilia and
spite of the fact that there's an oral breast size for many adult women. You know
now if we could only somehow ban male genitalia and porn. That would be...
What's next with those guys? I think we're already banning every video game to
come out. The Australian also banned point of graphic depictions of female ejaculation.
The censors branded it abhorrent.
Man, that settles it.
I can't live in Australia.
Wow.
I can't live without my female ejaculation.
I need my sloppy pussy.
That's gross.
Oh, man. I think I saw that last week. I've been dying to bring that up on the podcast.
Do you see any movies as we can do anything?
I'm glad you asked.
The other day I watched the invention of lying finally.
You were telling me a movie and we saw the trailers for I guess the late last year.
Did you see that?
No, I'm not going to see it now because I love Ricky Jervais.
Right.
And it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
See, this is so disappointing to me because I haven't seen it, Jeff
hasn't seen it.
But to me, the premise is like, what a great premise.
Oh, hilarious.
When I saw that trailer, I thought, that dude's brilliant.
That is a brilliant idea for a film.
Yeah, it's a great idea.
It's poorly executed.
You know, Jonah Hills in that movie.
Yeah, Jonah Hills in everything.
I didn't know he was in it until he made his appearance. It's uh it's not very good. It uh I don't know it's it's not quite what I was expecting I guess.
It wasn't the lighthearted comedy I was looking for. It's too bad. Well it's like when they set
that up precedent like that immediately your brain goes oh they could do this or they could do this
or they could do this or they could do this and then when they don't do that. Yeah.
Man speaking of comedy have you been watching Saturday Night Live lately? Yeah, I normally watch it every week. I've kind of half watched the last two weeks though.
Man, for some reason they've been on lately.
I don't know. There's a Gourney Weaver episode I wasn't too into and some of this last week with action
could sure I didn't think it was that great, but they had a couple of skits that were just on.
I got a disagree with you. I feel like you're, I don't know what it't know what it is I feel like we have we're not running in the same like
Comedic circle right now for some reason like so I'm gonna stuff you find funny
I just I find terrible like that sports talk alien thing
They've done that skit like five times. It's always the same joke
But I've seen every episode this season and I've never seen it. Well apparently you haven't seen all of that was that
That was the first time I saw that alien thing. I thought it was hyster. Yeah, it was really fun thing that brought hate with the Riley the Riley joke
I don't get it
That's the Fred Harmas insane you bitch for 10 minutes. Oh like the at the dinner table. Yeah, that was terrible
Not funny, but not like this last week they had
Kristen Wigg and Fred Armistead do that that
the Kristen Wigg and Fred Armistad do that, that singing duo that show up on the news and that unprepared.
They've done that before too.
Yeah, I've seen them do that a couple times.
But this week, this last week, it was, did you see it?
Yeah, it was so fucking funny.
Fred Armistad just completely and totally cracked Kristen Wigg up.
She couldn't continue and they both had to put their heads down and they were laughing
so hard.
I've never seen anybody bail on it.
That's actually when I turned SNL off because they showed Keenan Thompson doing that Jean Kay Jean Jean, which I hate. Oh, yeah. And then those two came out and I was like,
that's it. I'm not watching anymore. I turned away at that. There, there, that was one of the funniest
things I've seen on Sirela, I've been a long, long, long time. And right after that, that also,
that show, I think that maybe you and I are different in that I like really out there bizarre
comedy. And this show, Sirela was getting really weird. Like the burn notice skit, you probably didn't
see that because you turned that was right. That's when I turned off happening when I was getting really weird. Like the burn notice skit, you probably didn't see that, because you turned, that was right.
That's when it turns off.
Like that was just so weird, and it was so funny
because it was just such a bizarre premise.
They had, I don't know if you saw it, did you see it, Joel?
They had, you know that TV show burn,
burn notice on USA Channel?
Only see the commercials.
Yeah, nobody knows what it's about, right?
I can tell you what it's about.
So they had a game show called What is Burn Notice?
And all the contestants try to come up with like,
anything to describe burn notice. They watch, they watch a, show called what is Bern notice and all the contestants try to come up with like anything to describe
Bern notes they watched it they watch like promos and they're like tell me one thing about the show from this promo and nobody can do it
It's very very very that's kind of funny concept. Yeah, and then right after that they had Andy Sandberg's Mitt Romney apology to Sarah Palin
Oh, no, that was a manual rom a manual rom I'm sorry. Yeah, a rom a manual rom
I'm sorry. Yeah, uh, ramen, and I'm sorry. Got damn it. And uh, old white dudes.
I was closer than you were.
Shut up. You were.
And uh, and that was just like also very, very, very, very, very funny.
I don't know. Those two skits alone made the whole episode.
Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like you're going to get more in.
They just did. They did really weird stuff. Like the sports alien thing.
Like, I don't know why God says I like it.
That's such a weird premise. It's because they show fun over and over and I really hate Kenan Thompson
I just anytime he's on the screen. It's just like nails on a chalkboard to me
He's one of the funniest people in the show. No, I like it sounds like it's always trying to do a bad bill Cosby
I'm right in between you guys see because I thought the skit was hysterical
That guy not as funny is probably someone else good. No, I don't know. I think he's funny
He's really someone else good. No, I don't know. I think he's funny. I like him. I don't know
He's really the alien guy. It was hysterical. He's really grown on me I think this might be one of the better cast they've ever had actually really yeah
Yeah, everybody on that shows. I don't want to sound like I'm dumping on the show constantly
I think they're right. I dislike Fred Armistead and almost everything he does
But he's the only one. I like everybody else on the show. Mm-hmm. Well, I always tell me I look like Fred Armson.
That's not cool. I know. I'm like, thanks.
I won't say that though. No, no, no, she's like, no, no, I think he's hot though.
And I'm like, what? That dude has an, that dude's like a chameleon though.
He can look like any ethnicity in like two seconds.
You're like, what? I don't know how he does it.
He's like, what? What's that story? I can't remember.
If it was a Luke comic or someone had told me this or Jeff told me this or Gus went to a bar
It was star and I wasn't I were in San Jose at the Sinabar. Oh, yeah, some dude was staring at Gus and staring at Gus and staring at Gus
I only get the end of 90 comes up to Gus. He's like what do you say he goes?
I was trying to go to the bathroom. Yeah, he playing pool and he was blocking the way and I walk up to him
I go excuse me. I'm trying to get to the back of the guy goes
hold on so i'll get the i could do this every time
have black half Chinese
that it was half black half Korean have Korean and i was like nope
that i could have the bathroom now
but you know i'm never on i thought you were japanese for the first year i think it was some moan when i met him
you know what's funny about that is the last time i went to New Zealand
one night my wife niko and I all went out to this bar
that was down the street from where we were staying in Auckland.
And we walked in and it was like karaoke night at the bar.
Something's like a bunch of regulars.
They're all going up and singing.
And there was this one like real drunk mayory dude who was like standing at the bar next to me.
And he turns to me and goes, what are you Mexican or something?
I was like, what the fuck? I was like, how did you know?
I can always tell.
He's the only dude on the planet.
He's the only dude who's ever gotten it right.
I got a genius.
Hey, so, uh, favorite Super Bowl commercial.
Uh, Betty White.
Uh, probably the Betty White one.
I didn't see the Betty White one.
It's funny.
This is Snickers commercial.
Betty White made the go-to.
I love anything with April go-to. I'm proud that the Betty White one. That's funny. That's the Snickers commercial. And Betty White made it go to the- I love anything with April Go to.
Yeah.
You gotta love April Go to the-
I'm proud that he's still alive.
Go Abe.
After that commercial, I don't know.
What about you, Joel?
Who's your favorite?
I went back and I tuned in the third quarter of the Super Bowl
so I missed a lot of commercials.
I went on the internet and just sort of looked through some
of them and there was a career builder commercial.
Oh yeah, right.
I thought that was a-
Which one was that?
The one where it was casual Friday's gone too far. like you're showing up like no no it's the one
where it's you know how you know you hate your job oh you know and I think it's probably like I've
been doing this too long because it was an ad where they take like six shots and just repeat them
again oh that was it that was from last year god damn see how out of it that's the one where they
punch a koala and the woman screaming in the car. I'm in here behind.
That was last year's Super Bowl commercial.
That's why I get to look it on the internet for Super Bowl commercial.
You know what I think it's funny.
Did you notice that in the Megan Fox motorola commercial they used a hand double?
Did they really?
No, I didn't notice.
Because Megan Fox has this big, especially.
Oh yes, she has a slit.
And then on the close-up when she's using the phone it's obviously like a hand model.
She's got tart thumbs.
Yeah, I'm using the phone instead of her.
Yeah, overall I'd
have to say it was a pretty weak year for Super Bowl commercials. Yeah. Advertisers
needed to try a little harder. I agree. I thought that one. Most of the Doritos
commercials where I thought were were just atrocious. Oh yeah. The one in the gym I
thought was going to gym was alright. Was that like a contest where people could
yeah. Okay well that explains it. Yeah. But yeah the one in the gym when I thought was pretty good oh the the letterman commercial was pretty good
it was okay yeah I mean there wasn't much to it it was just it was cool in the sense
that it was interesting that they were able to put this three people together and it's
not get into a detailed discussion about late right and let's just and apparently I
need to go back and listen to that podcast because I guess that was a really it almost it
almost ended the podcast people yeah and Bernie and I both were very,
felt very passionately about the late night.
I kept trying to drive the topic somewhere else
and I just kept getting dragged back in.
Yeah, I did my best.
So we'll see that's the thing.
Like I'm not even, you know, following most of this stuff,
you know, but it's to me that they get,
get Letterman and Leno on the same couch
with Oprah and the Queen of the
kingdom. That's funny.
Yeah, I don't know. I don's funny. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I guess it's a win-win for everybody involved, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's probably just trying to re-evaluate this image.
Yeah.
So why not?
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, I just make sense.
You know how airports now, they're starting to install
like these full-body scanners and there's
like all this outrage about it. are scared that you know they'll be
able to save naked pictures of you because these scanners can see through your
clothes and see all your junk and stuff. Save naked pictures and has the
public seen itself? Well you know and then the security side you know the airports
always say that these these machines don't save images they just display them and
immediately they're they're purged and you're the person looking at the images isn't even in the same room as you.
Well, I read a story that I guess some Bollywood superstar went through one of those
full-body scanning machines in London and they're like right after he went through, people were
bringing up pictures, naked pictures of himself from the machine just so he could autograph.
How uh, how do you, how's this, how's this junk? That's awesome. I don't know. There's no picture in the story
Like what's his name? Shaw Rook Khan? I
Guess he was on some British television show Friday night with Johnson with Jonathan Ross
And he said that he went through security and right after what he could he say
Something happens. He said I was a little scared something happens inside the scans and I came out
Then I saw these girls. They had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought there were some forms I had to fill I said give them to me
And you could see everything inside so I got a graph for them if I was that dude
I would have like I would have extended my penis with a Sharpie
You would too have you and V awesome like the people are yes, so I can't believe you know
After all this talk about how it's deleted right away that this dude goes through and
They're they have fucking printouts when he comes to security
I'm gonna also that's how slow security and their handing out people like he went through and they had time to like print out naked pictures of him
So that while he was still there he could talk a good autograph
Yeah, that's really and the funny the funny part of the story that they don't tell you is the guy after him was actually carrying a bomb
Nobody know it through the no
Everybody was looking at Bollycock.
Bollywood?
Hey.
Oh.
Like penis wood.
I got you.
OK, good.
I'm pretty sure.
Not like lumber wood.
Right, right.
That'd be lame.
No one wants to see that.
No.
Well, you know, I think it's odd that we haven't, you know,
it's been a couple of weeks and we haven't talked about
at all about the Oscar nominations.
I mean, I'm having trouble being excited about
the Oscars this year. Really? I'm not down with that 10 fucking it's 10 films
for Best Picture. It's sort of like the NHL playoffs where they let almost
everybody into the play. Yeah right it's like or the NBA too. It's like you've
got what like if you make a film that makes over 20 million dollars you've got
like a 40% chance that it's gonna be nominated for best picture.
I guess so.
That's like, I don't know.
It's funny too, because like from a marketing standpoint,
this is something that almost had to happen
to like generate more cash flow for movies.
What, we were nominated.
Yeah, I'm not like a re-release.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
What's up?
But something that we did talk about before
the nominations came out is I'm surprised to see up,
got nominated for best picture
I'm happy that it got nominated because I you know
I was very adamant that it was impossible. It wouldn't happen
And I'm glad to see that I was proven of all the Pixar movies. Do you think where does upstand best really?
I know I don't really what do you think the best picks on movies?
The one in space I think Wally I think Wally is better than up
But I think the Incred incredible might be my favorite.
Wally, I can say, because I watch all those movies over and over again with my kid, Wally does not hold up to subsequent
viewings very well.
Really?
Yeah, it's a little slow and a little boring, honestly, and it doesn't pick up really until like the last 20 minutes.
And the thing about, the thing about up is I had hands down the most emotional response to that movie out of all of them.
Yeah, well up reminds you every 10 minutes that you need to be sad.
Yeah exactly.
I mean I just do a really good job with that.
It's a fun, it's a cool fun point.
Yeah.
I like the incrediblees of it.
I like the incrediblees a lot of fun.
Like to me like Wally was a movie where it's like I think it had like two lines of written
dialogue.
Yeah.
And so like for some reason that made it more universal.
Yeah.
Also, also, but like to Wally more
I've seen it a couple times. I've seen a few subsequent viewings and I still think I still think I like it more than up
I'm down with a message and everything, but it also just was a little heavy hand that I thought with the you're right
You know, you're yeah, you're right about that for sure
I just the the up I felt like I was getting stabbed in the kidney
Crazy screwdriver great film though, you know, I mean don't get me wrong.
I loved all I thought it was awesome.
I saw the theater twice.
No, no, I mean, I'm like arguing like which is better.
Porterhouse or Philemon you know, it's a great argument to be having.
It's true.
What do you think should win?
Best picture.
Yeah, Avatar.
So these are the nominees.
I'm sure everyone knows it's Avatar, the blind side district nine, an education,
the hurt locker, and glorious bastards. Precious, a serious man up and up in the air. I haven't seen hurt locker yet and I knows it's Avatar, the Blind Side, District 9, an education, the Hurt Locker, and Gloria Spasters.
Precious, a serious man up and up in the air.
I haven't seen Hurt Locker yet, and I hear it's tremendous.
But, come on, dude, Avatar is the highest-grossing film domestic and worldwide of all time,
and it did it in eight weeks.
I think that Avatar is basically the Wizard of Oz.
It's the same thing. It's like, oh, it's in color.
Exciting, you know? I don't know that that makes it the best. Oh, I liked it a lot. I thought it was great. I thought technically
it was tremendous. I mean, there's no, there's no arguing that. But I really like the,
like I like the performance of what's her face. Zoe, Selda, so much. She did. Or that
hot. She's the only hot talent itself. I'm a fantastic job
She really did a fantastic job and the people that animated that character did a tremendous job
Yeah, they did I think I have the hurt locker and precious coming to me and that flicks tomorrow. Oh really? Yeah
Movie party at Gus's no
I guess you told me I can show up here house uninvited whenever I want to that's true
So I'm gonna do it tomorrow night with some popcorn and a couple beers.
No, don't bring...
Popcorn is a big deal at our house.
Don't bring popcorn.
I'll put it in there.
We are...
We have the popcorn situation covered.
You know I can't eat popcorn anyways.
Oh shit, that sucks.
We are popcorn scientists at the Surola House.
What's the brand-sure?
I can't even hear my secrets away.
No?
No.
We got a machine, we like powders and mixtures. I will say the last time I was I had popcorn at your house with a jiffy pop on the oven
Right, we've we've come a long way since then okay, we are experts not the gym. We have a dedicated popcorn machine
Okay, good
That sounds exciting. We're serious. That's not you have a dedicated popcorn. Yes, nice very serious
How about one tip for the fans at home? That sounds exciting. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious.

We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We're serious. We's not faster and it tastes a million times better. Microwave popcorn is one of those things that just never quite worked. I don't know.
It's convenient I guess, but then like you pop a bunch of popcorn in your microwave and then
your microwave always smells like generic popcorn butter and it's weird. Like it becomes yellow.
I don't know. It's like fucks me in my microwave. Like hitting that sweet spot in the popcorn bag
where you don't over burn. The popcorn or under do it and then you have like too many seeds in there. I like trying to get in there where you've ride that meaning
I think it's literally like three nanoseconds my my my microwave has a popcorn button and it cooks popcorn perfectly every time by hitting the popcorn button
Yeah, I don't even know the microwave might be time to upgrade my life
I don't know man. I get it now. It does vary from
microwaves to microwaves. It definitely does. Yeah. The popcorn button does help.
We have the popcorn button on the microwave here in the office. We also have a
barcode scanner on the microwave. Boy, that didn't turn out to be worth a damn
though. That was a cool idea that fell flat. I guess the theory was you could
scan your food and it would know how to cook it or you could like build a
database in it of like foods and cook times and stuff.
That's a lot of work.
It's a manual process.
Our microwave doesn't connect to the internet and download that information.
Now, if they could connect the microwave to the internet, then we might be talking.
Or if you didn't have to scan it, you just like there was an internal scanner and you just
stick whatever it is in and it's easy to barcode.
You don't have to fucking pull out the little barcode.
Yeah, but how many things do you put in the microwave with stealing the box with the barcode though?
It's true. Yeah, that's come up with some sort of the system. You imagine like buying a steak and on the steak
It's got like some sort of tattoo barcode on the server. Joel. I could not imagine buying a steak and sticking it in a microwave
You in the world with the microwave is wrong with you. I am the ultimate bachelor
That's the most horrible thing ever. There's nothing. There's nothing you can't stick in a microwave
You can broil a steak in your oven in like seven minutes.
Broilings awesome. Yeah. Every time I try and cook it's bad. I started to explain that to my wife
the other day. I was asking what she wanted to do for Valentine's Day. We decided not to go out and
you know fight the crowds and stuff. So I told her I'd cook like a special dinner for her a meal.
And I asked her what she wanted. She said that she wanted steak maybe but that it'd be too cold to
grill. And I was like well I'm just gonna broil it. And she gave me the weirdest look like why would and I asked her what she wanted. She said that she wanted steak maybe, but that it'd be too cold to grill
and I was like, well, I'm just gonna boil it.
And she gave me the weirdest look.
Like, why would you boil a steak?
I was trying to explain to her,
every steak you eat at every restaurant is broiled.
Yeah.
For the most, well, like 99% of the time.
It's almost different.
It's true.
Well, what's it ever so baking and broiling, right?
Like, and to me, since I don't know a damn thing about cooking,
100 degrees in the where you put it in the rack.
No, no, like 10, and I could, I could damn thing about cooking. This to me. This to me. Where you put it in the rack.
I could be wrong.
Where did he comes from?
That's right.
He comes from.
It's like, well, if it's heated from the top, if it's
heated from the bottom, it's baking, it's heated.
I can't remember now.
Yeah.
That's it.
It's all about it.
Broil is both.
Yeah.
Broil is both baking as well.
Just over here.
Bottom.
Just bottom.
Yeah.
Do we need two terms? I thought it was a lot more complicated than that
is someone who never and here and says and broiling is a lot more high temperature it's the heat's a
lot more intense and typically you put what you're broiling a lot closer to the heat like big
you like put it in the center and that's it broiling you want to get it like if you're broiling a
steak you want to get it like one to one and a half inches away from your health source. The lowest rack or at the top, yeah. And you
want to cook it on the ice. Keep possible.
Stake is a big deal at the Surola House. even even try you know it's yeah god we
should start our own we start a food contest right I'll talk about some food
fuck it dude I'll talk about some food like for instance I became a fan of
Indian food last week that's how could you not be a fan Indian food that's
amazing I mean because we took so many trips making commercials and any time
Indian food came up Jeff just wouldn't eat yeah I don't like try some of this
try some of that I don't like I don't I don't like anything
I
I'm trying so hard to break out of that because I'm I've really got into cooking and
It's hard to cook if you don't like seafood if you only like Mexican food
It's really I mean I can only make it in so many times. I don't really grill steak so often
So I've been trying to expand my palate and Griffin and I went to this
I've we probably talked about this before but Austin has this thing where all the new restaurants are in trailers
And they're just parking lots or in fields or whatever. It's kind of weird. Well, totally weird
Griffin and I found an Indian restaurant called garage mahal
And it's in somebody's backyard and all the all the seating is outdoor and they cook it in a trailer and it's like
It's like a beer commercial. It's yeah like that kind of service but it's commercial.
It's yeah, that kind of does and it's in also this place called the Austin bicycle museum
and so there's all these crazy bicycles around you like there's this one
uh, bicycle that's a hundred feet long, it's a big snake.
It's crazy.
30 seats in it, like all those nuts and stuff and you just sit outside on picnic tables
and eat like Indian food out of this trailer but it is so fucking tremendous.
Let's go.
Yeah man, I'm down.
I open at five o'clock every day.
There's on rainy street.
There's this Korean restaurant
you should come to me one day
up by the Galaxy Cinema.
It's really good.
Is there any food type that you don't like?
Is it trailer food?
Because I only eat trailer food.
No, it's not trailer food.
It's a sit down restaurant.
Is there any food type you don't like?
I don't like seafood.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm trying really hard
to break out of that, but seafood is just fucking disgusting.
I can't eat it.
God, it's the worst.
I'm surrounded by people who don't like seafood.
Yeah.
Jack doesn't like seafood.
No one likes seafood.
It's hard too, because I just bought this really expensive cookbook.
Sometimes it was the Epic Curious that it was the cookbook of the year of the last year.
And I get at home and I go to the entrees.

I had to go all the way to the other side of town to an Indian grocery store to buy these
seeds called my jell-up because it called for them.
It took me about two hours to track these seeds down.
I went to like four grocery stores.
I finally found them in this little Indian grocery store, put all this work into it and it
was just a mess.
What's disgusting.
Do you remember where you went into finding it?
MGM is what's called, I think.
I don't even know where that is. It's on Burnett,
like kind of up in furniture row area. Yeah, yeah. And it's just in a strip mall next to a shoe store.
And it's just like tiny little Indian grocery store. It's actually really cool.
Hmm. And it was a cool experience. That's some crazy stuff in that store.
It's called MGM I think, so it's called. Yeah. Interesting. Look at that.
I think my wife, they have a little lunch counter there too That's one. Well, it's no garage Mahalo. No, no, no, I don't think so. Garage Mahalo's fantastic
You got to check it out. Now we're this might be like the most food discussion we've ever had in the podcast
I had this thing
Hey garage Mahalo. I just call panneka or panneka. It's an appetizer
I apologize if I'm pronouncing it wrong or saying the wrong thing
But it's like a bunch of vegetables smashed together and then deep fried. Oh, so it's like a like a vegetable deep fried vegetable cookie almost
Probably one of the 10 best things that ever put my mouth. That sounds awesome
It's so good man
I went to go get the Ethiopian food at one time
We're in LA and it this thing called I know right, but they had there's this thing that's like it's in between rice and pasta
It's some weird substance thing that's like it's in between rice and pasta it's some
Weird substance and it's like they bring it to it's like a ace bandage and you unroll it and you stick you're freaking food in
You eat that damn thing and it's awesome. Did you eat it with your hands?
You're supposed to eat Ethiopian through your hands. I told you know
There's an Ethiopian place right over there close to where we live Jeff
And I always want to eat there. I just never remember to go there
I've been meaning it's called asters Ethiopian mm-hmm
And I've been meaning to go there for a while because I have heard so many good things about that place
For so many people everybody seems to love it. Yep, and Ethiopian food supposed to be super spicy too, which actually
It's like when I was in LA like all the food there was great except for Tex Max
They could not get Tex Max right California Mexican foods the world foods are the worst. It is right. Now that I'm in Austin, the Tex-Mex food here is awesome. The burgers are awesome.
Stakes are awesome. I feel like I can't find any Asian food that's really hit-knit here.
Yeah. I mean, it's just, or like, you know, I'm not sure that when you stray too far here in Austin,
it just doesn't. I'm not sure. Yeah, the Asian food is definitely lacking here. But that
Korean place, it's called Chosangalbi. It's up there Hailem alth real good what's that Chinese food Nosten there's not
really very much good Chinese food I might have to say Sun Hing yeah which is
out there on the drag like across from Dirty Martins and they delivered to us
so they delivered to you too as well yeah yeah Sun Hing's good you should check
that out I can't really think of a decent place other than Sun Hing but trying to
town downtown's all right yeah it's okay I'm a comparatively to everything else I think there's a lot of things that I've had in the past. I think there's a lot of things that I've had in the past. I think there's a lot of things that I've had in the past.
