Hey everyone, how's it going? I like the way he worked in Doc's or Vixong. Oh, good, you recognize him. Yeah, of course. That's the big reason I decided to use it. Yeah. That's a little homage to Vixong.

That's pretty funny. That is Vix, Vix's answering machine message from season 3. Season 5. Yeah. What was that kid's name, Gus? That's a Kessels, C-A-S-S-S-3-L-L-S. Nice. It's a shame that his parents named,

gave him a name with him. 40 in it. That's kind of weird, but. It fucks up a school system, whenever that enters name into the fuck. Yeah, I bet he has trouble with scandrons. Yeah. I bet Kessels, Kessels 3 senior.

He's really proud of his son. But that was, uh, yeah, that was actually your wife Gryffind played one of her first roles in that part oh that was the the she was the voice male ombre yeah yeah wasn't her first part she was the the radio in the warthog in season three wasn't she she was the distressed distressing that's just that's just that's just distressed oh maybe so much distressed so. I'm like laughing at your own jokes first thing in the morning. So Jack and I had a conversation last night. We did. We did. And what is the name of the early American accent? I should say early American early this century, like 1929, 1930s. You know

that accent that people like you's yeah like James Kagan that red that I like that kind of thing yeah like they'd always do it on sports casting too it's all like very affected yeah affected whatever hello ladies gentlemen coming to you today from the Zeppelin races yeah yeah that like what is that and where did that go away oh god I don't know what are the guys maybe didn't we lose that in World War 2? I think it's in German's bomb that? The accent factory? It was part of the treaty

You guys got to stop talking We lost that in that shitty way people used to sing too Or like, oh am I? And you and you? That's fucking terrible That was the best thing you've ever done Thanks I'm sure that'll be in an intro, you know, six months from now

There's you sing in season three of reversible you sing your in prison Griff is and you sing how dry I am yeah, I can't sing it as badly as you sing it to special talent Record it that we all fucking lost it left. Yeah, so so awful Do you have any background at all, seeing? I'm tone deaf. I'm tone deaf too. And I'd so know. And like I have had multiple instances

where people have tried to get me to understand music and like the difference in whatever. Where'd you erode for like two, three? Yeah, I was like, you don't have to wear. I don't have to know music. You don't have to know music to sell t-shirts, buddy. It's like, You don't have to know music you don't have no music to sell t-shirts, buddy Yeah, it's like you don't know architecture to be a construction work I think we've

Approving consistently that none of us have any music talent. You know, we farmed out all the music for red versus blue I farmed out all the theme songs for the podcast. Yeah, there's a reason for that There's a reason for that, but it's true like you will be talking about music or you'll be singing something And Matt matt's a musical guy. That's true. He plays a number of different instruments and he'll say things to me like that's in the wrong key and I say, I don't know what that means. And he goes, well, you're singing it and I'm just going to make up here.

You're singing an F. It's supposed to be in G and I go, what is F in G? What does that mean? I can go one up. I can, on that, I can sit in front of a piano with Gus' mom or Griffin and Martha or whoever. And they're like, okay, we're going to explain keys to you. And they hit a key and they go, did you hear that? And I go, yeah, of course. And they go, and they hit another key and they go, they hear that.

And I go, yeah, you hit the same key. And they're like, no, there was totally different. How can you not tell the difference? I just can't. I can tell the difference between those two things when they do it like that. But then if I walk out of the room and I walk back in and they hit up, they want to go, which one was that? I go, I don't know. I do get it. They're all the same. They hit the white one. You hit the white one exactly. Then I play Chopsticks and Harry saw.

I think I could have been one of those musicians by memorization. Because did you ever have a guitar or anything like that growing up? I had a recorder like in the third year. Has the only musical instrument I think I've ever owned. Do they call them recorders so that people don't have to call them flutes? Is that right? I don't know. Like you're like a little pain flute or whatever that is.

I even tried out for a choir in the fifth grade, because my friends tried out for choir, and I did not make it, I was the, I've got, I must have been fifth grade. I don't know if I made it through like one line before they were like it's okay go back to class never mind this is not for you what wild pack of buddies did you run with hey we're all gonna jump for choir you got it you got out of class you know take social studies you know my senior year in high school I always seen this thing where I got out of my all my classes for half the day I got to leave after second period and come back for six period, which was the last period of the day

That's probably the smartest thing I ever did in my whole life Thanks, though. How's your way? I was in something called Hosa Which was the health occupations students of America this back when I was gonna be a doctor And I got to do clinical rotations at a hospital Southwest moral hospital in Houston. So I get to get thrown a lab coat and go there for three hours a day. I Loved it. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it was awesome. My senior year I did this like work release thing where I went to school to like 11 30 And then I got to go to my job. Yeah, yeah, stamp and license plates. No, I was a tool repair man. Oh, yeah

Yeah, in a machine shop. Yeah, see I also tool repairman. Oh, yeah, yeah. In a machine shop. Yeah. See, I also, my senior year in high school didn't go to half my classes, but that's just because I didn't want to go. Oh, yeah. Just decided not to. It's decided not to.

Do you know I never skipped a class? Ever. I never did that. Really? Not even on senior skip day or anything? No, I never skipped school, like a whole day of school. But I never skipped a class. I didn't know what I would do.

Just wander around the school for an hour. I know it would not be in that class, isn't that enough? Frank, Frank and I used to be neighbors. Frank, of course, is one of the Yakuza and the immersion video. And we would walk over to school every day. And I never used to skip school either, but then when senior year hit for some reason, I never went to class. I remember we walked up English was our first class in the morning and we were walking up to it and I looked in the window and the English teacher was like trying to explain something she'd drawn like a circle and a triangle on the board and I was like I'm not going. It's like turn around and went back home. Was that English or ESL?

It was English. You wanted like honors ESL. I'm gonna fucking strangled you. AP ESL. Yeah. Did anyone in your family formally speak Spanish? Yeah, was my parents from Mexico. Yeah. Yeah. So yes, they formally speak Spanish. And so English was their second language? Yes.

When you were growing up, did they primarily speak to you in Spanish? Yes, but then they switched when I was like six years old. Really? Because they realized that if they didn't teach me English I was never gonna learn it. I was never be totally fluent with it So they realized that they were making a mistake by teaching me Spanish and French me to English and Conversely because of that your sister doesn't speak Spanish at all right, and then because of that my sister who was born four years later Doesn't speak any Spanish. It's interesting and you you speak a lot of Spanish. I can understand. I can understand.

Right. And then I could very awkwardly put together a sentence. Right. Right. Are you nervous about driving through Arizona now? I'm not going to fuck. I guess I can't go to Arizona anymore, right? What is that with that?

That's freaking crazy, man. It seems weird. I guess they passed a law where I guess at any time police can ask anybody for proof of citizenship or immigration status I guess it's how the way they word it but it bull goes down to they can ask any Mexican anytime. Yeah whether they are in the country legally. I think you're Norwegian. Yeah I'm sure I'm sure people from other countries are going to really sweat that one. Yeah. Watch out Obama. The Arizona Irish population is really nervous right now. Just tell me you're born Hawaii. I hear that word.

I don't have to show you the birth certificate. That was born Hawaii. We don't have that there. It's island culture. Have a lay. So is that, what is the deal that? Is that all done? No, I don't think so.

There are still wackos out there that are still bitch about it. But yeah, I think it's over. I don't think where we're going to have an issue where. Well, that are still bitch about it. But yeah, I think it's over. I don't think we're gonna have an issue where... Well, that one military guy just got court martialed or what happened? He was a jail. Yeah, he was a jail. Fucking colonel. A colonel for what?

Refused to show up for work because the commander in chief wasn't a natural, wasn't a US citizen, therefore he didn't, he wasn't required to obey his laws. He's a colonel? He was a colonel. How long does it take Jeff to become a Colonel? It takes a long fucking time. It takes, well, you have to go, you have to at least get a college degree

or go through a military school like West Point. So you put four years into that, then you come out as a second lieutenant, then you've got to probably get two years to first lieutenant, two to three years to captain, probably three to four, maybe five years to lieutenant colonel, and then another 4 or 5 to colonel. So maybe 15 years, 20 years.

No, what you just said was probably 18 to 20 years. 18 to 20 years. You include the school too. Yeah. Wow. I turn a listed dude. You can do it a little faster, but. And a listed dude could never get up to colonel or general?

No, you can't. And listed. Well, you could go to, you could do green to gold. There's a program where like enlisted men, not, well, they're not enlisted. They're, you're called non-commissioned. But yeah, like, you could then go to college through this program, and they'll send you

like officer candidate school, and you could do it that way, but you still have to then go through and do four years of school. So can't just be a badass. So that's what NCO means. Not a commission officer. Not a commission officer. And that's just people who enlist.

Yeah. Okay, I never understood what that meant. Yeah. I feel like I learned something today. There you go. What about that Goliath of the battlefield? On a Murphy. On a Murphy.

Off the Murphy was a fucking psycho. How we do is it on a Murphy kill. Uh, he killed a lot. You know, there's an on a Murphy museum in the Colleen, just more than here. He also like that. He's on the base an Audimurfie museum in the Colleen just more there. He also like that good At forhood it's on the base. He also blew up like tanks, right? Like see like with nothing. He he's one of the dudes that I always thought Audimurfie and guys like that that are like celebrated War heroes were probably serial killers that just got draft. They just got lucky. Yeah, he got super lucky

So it reminds me of a little stories about Douglas MacArthur where I guess early in his career He wanted to catch Pancho Villa. Oh God, dude So he got on one of those like railroad hand cards I can see in the cartoons that you like pump up and down to go he got on a handcart with a revolver and went into Mexico And kill like 30 people with a revolver. He did he went to fight his way into town and then fight his way out of town He got shot like two times on that trip he was fucking handcard but now that that the guys to that is that he was actually uh... investigating it was really to catch poncho via but what it was supposed to be was that he was investigating the mexican uh...

like rail system for the feasibility of invading mexico and using rail for uh... using you know trains essentially to move supplies. Uh-huh. That was what he was officially there for. Date line Mexico. Pack it up, poncho via. Blackjack Pershing's on the scene. You're really good at that, Bernie.

That's fun. You're the second career. Yeah, back in time. Go back and do voice announcing for a dirigible races. Hey, so when does the reach beta start?

Yeah, it was about Great. It was like oh, we got the data after two days. Thanks You guys were super helpful appreciate it

But it'll be like a you write like bucks live shutting off people would stay in their game. Yeah, I think there's still people going Yeah, there's I think there's like 13 people left. There was an article today on KOTaku about it That's really funny. Yeah, be interesting to see how long we can keep that up under the final kill counts gonna be That's a good question. What kind of gamer they're playing does anyone know? Yeah, they're all in one day. We're all a bit over there multiple games going on. I don't know They like the guys we talked about who live in an island in Japan and don't know the war is And there's still the spike in the way that was the Philippines, wasn't it? Yeah, I think it was the Philippines. It was a Japanese soldier. Japanese soldier. Yeah, he was eating pigs right?

Never left his he never left his post Right, wow because he was never officially relieved. I guess it was yeah, yeah, that's a crazy story I think we talked about the podcast because the ever in Japan wasn't a natural born citizen of Japan Doing his little protest He was having some little green tea party over there that racist, did I just say something racist? by saying green tea? that looks very uncomfortable right? did you all hear that, um, I guess the film company that owns that,

the rights that Hitler movie started taking them down from you to you? yeah, downfall, oh yeah, how was Hitler meme remixes? it's not what he immediately, immediately made one, that was Hitler learns his movies are being taken and then posted that. Did you read their reason for doing it though? No, what was the reason? They're just the distributor and they but the actual I guess the guys that owned that made the movie made the request. Yes. All right. I heard the director and the actor both loved it and they thought it was great. I don't know. I heard that they took it. They took it down. They didn't want to take it down, but there was a request from some people involved in the film to take it down because supposedly because they

started to, somebody a couple months ago made a really anti-Semitic one. Yeah, I heard it went out. And that was super offensive. And so that was the, that was what it was. Really was the anti-Semitic anti-Semitic. I think we had to ruin it for everybody else. I know those anti-Semitic. No, I think whoever made the first Hitler meme video ruined it for everyone. No, that's funny. It's the second one I guess. Yeah, that got so fucking overused. Well, that's the thing too is that at first it's funny when you see it and then the internet really doesn't know when to stop.

It's not the definition of a meme is just everyone saying the same joke over and over again. And what makes it funny is that you literally already know the joke. That's what a meme is. That couldn't exist anywhere but the internet. Right? And the best way to kill a meme is put it on TV. Like when Rick Astley saying whatever

never gonna give you up at the, what was it Thanksgiving day parade? Mason's day, Mason's Thanksgiving day parade, yes. What are you gonna say? Rick Astley came out and he rick rolled the audience. I thought that was funny. I never told that.

I never told that. Jack thought that was the funniest thing he'd ever seen in his life at the time. He came in the next day or the next work day we had. I was talking about how great that was. He was unlike the float for Foster's imaginary friends. Or something like that. If Jack, isn't that when we first started having

the discussion of like, there's nothing that's too much for Jack. Jack, if it references something that Jack likes, Jack loves it. Well, you guys have changed me. And now you think that was too much. Yeah, well, it killed the meme. Good, maybe the meme needed a dog. We're slowly rotting Jack from the end.

I hate everything now. We're gonna become like a host. Look, look at getting some discriminating taste. I love it. Well, Jack and I did something last night. Jack, we're look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look,

I had such a great time We went to go see the Iron Man 2 premiere here in Austin. It was the world fan premiere They had shown it to like exhibitors and you know the Hollywood premiere But this is the first time fans had seen it and Nathan fill in yeah He was there too, right? No, no, no, but they were going to have it in London But because of the volcano. Thank you volcano. They had to move it to Austin No, no, no, you've got that little wrong the world premiere was gonna be in London. Yes, and then the volcano hit

So they had the world premiere in Hollywood the fan premier was always gonna happen in Austin But they lie Mount Fuji But they lie Mount Fuji Shot me a look tele fucking story. I'll right I'll go back but the So we went to this thing and we went to the Alamedraft house here in town, which we've talked about I think a billion times before and it was very very cool because we knew We were getting to see it before anybody else and they sent along a tape message John Favreau and Robert Donnie Jr. did and they actually put it online. Have you seen it online? Yeah, yeah, I read Twitter did oh right late last night But they came on screen and it was them sitting on a couch and they would just want to thank everybody come for coming out to the movie and

Robert Donnie with Jr. was doing that kind of that same bit that he did when he won was it a golden globe something like that where he's like you know I'm too good for this yeah I'm better than this all this it was really funny uh and they were thanking like a cool news for holding screening and all that because like why are you panoring to the nerds you know we've got them already yeah they're gonna go see the movie why we're doing this we don't need to be there it's insignificant and uh you know favor is playing the bit where he's like no no this is good I'm so sick of hearing about the dark night and how it's dark and gritty From these people and he goes and Robert and juice is well if you want to be there so bad Why don't you just go and junk and Faber was okay? Maybe I will and he stands up on the couch on screen and walks out on stage

Like literally like from backstage. Yeah, he leaves frame shows up and while he's out there talking Robert and Jesus still up on the screen go I'm just keeping it real you know, and they're trying to be like a played bit back and forth taped But then Robert on a junior stands up on screen and also comes out on stage. That's pretty fucking. It was really really cool It was pretty damn cool. I mean it was really really cool Do you think they were in the being on the same stage that we were just on a couple weeks ago? Yeah, they talked about it. Yeah, John got it does that lot? Because you and I saw the world mirror from made here. And John Pover and Vince Vaughn weren't going to be able to make it. And then they showed up at the last minute.

Wait, so you were made to? Yeah, we were out there. I was there. Yeah. So was I. Really? There you go. Everybody in this room.

Small world. That was years and years ago. And we didn't know Jack then. But he was in that room. God, that was like 2000, maybe. That was like a decade ago. Yeah, it was a long time ago. But something else cool.

I mean, obviously, you saw Iron Man 2. And you probably can't talk about it. But I bet it was cool, but something else cool you got to see At that event. It's like a matter of thing Can I not talk about everything? Oh, no, okay When you said that I immediately mind bring what straight to Scarlett joey Straight to scarlett joey. Oh, there's one shot in the movie of Scarlett joe Hanson and a Quinnipaltra side by side I'll leave it at that. It's amazing Okay, there's one shot in the movie of Scarlett Johansson and Quintet Paltrow side by side. I'll leave it at that.

It's amazing. Okay. You like it. Thanks. You'll appreciate the shot. What do you see? I bet you were super creepy during that shot. I was.

I started touching Bernie. He crosses legs and punch. Yeah, but we actually, because we work with the Alamo so much, we, Alamo shows this pre-roll. What do we want you to call it, Jeff? About 30 to 45 minutes before a movie starts. Like as soon as they open up the theaters so people can start sitting down, they just show weird interstitial stuff.

Like for instance, before Iron Man, they might show a bunch of 70s cartoons of Iron Man. Or they might show some weird Japanese video where dudes dressed up as Iron Man running around Tokyo. They've never seen before. Yeah, all just kinds of weird stuff. I don't know where they collect it, but they have these vast archives of wacky shit

that nobody's ever seen. There's a company called Something Weird Video. They do a lot of that stuff. Okay. You get that online. So the other thing that they do is they do these really funny, don't talk during the movie, turn off your cell phone videos

that are specifically made for the Alamo. Yeah, and they have a lot of big stars, do them too. Yeah, wonderful. know, one of the best ones is the one with governor and Richard. That's pretty good. It's just fiery old lady. Yeah, I think we linked up before I said we've talked about that one before for some reason. Yeah, yeah, that she comes, she shows up the theater and beats a shit out of a guy who's talking in the movie and throws him out and says, you know, don't talk to the movie or

and Richard will take your ass out. It's so great. There's an early army one where he's in the, he says, you know, you don't know, I might be in the back to the theater waiting for you to talk. I'm gonna come kick your ass out. It's so great. There's an early army one where he says, you know, you don't know, I might be in the back to the theater waiting for you to talk. I'm gonna come kick your ass. Yeah, that's pretty great. He's the staff sergeant from Fullmetal Jacket. The best one they've ever done though,

not to keep going with this, but the one where Abe Lincoln is talking in the theater. That was being obnoxiously loud. That was the way it is kids you know. Was that really? Yeah, that was fucking funny. I think I've ever seen that one. It's really cool.

So people contribute stuff all the time, like, home star one as well and and so we've done some of the past So we made a new one for this was specifically for Ironman where they dress up sergeant like Ironman They paint him red and yellow and then try to convince him to jump off the cliff and So we can fly I think it's just pretty short video. It's like a minute 30. We got into the screening We knew we were going to be thought hey, let's talk to Tim and make a video and I think we pulled nothing together and what Seven hours. Yeah, yeah, it was super fast It was fun to just kind of like throw it together and be able to project in a theater

That was fun. So they showed that right before they showed the John Favreau fan premier Robert on eating your video So that was a good company to be in yeah, who's cool So you guys saw the movie did you like it was a good company to be in. Yeah, it was cool. So you guys saw the movie, did you like it? Was it good? Was it awesome? I enjoyed it a lot. The more I digested, the more I think. The first movie is better, just because of the initial punch of like,

oh my god, this movie is so great. The second one is the lot of the same stuff from the first one that you enjoy, there's a lot more of it. Now, there's a lot of funnier, too. There's a lot more comedy to it. Dude, I thought the movie was intense. It was so fast and furious the entire time. Like, it starts crazy, and it just like the the entire time it's just going and it's nuts.

It's a lot of science, not a sci-fi in this movie too. There is. Which is pretty cool. Yeah. A lot more like developing stuff. It's, it was neat. I liked it. Like the stuff like, if you like, especially if you like the stuff that Tony Stark does in his, like kind of his basement lab in his house. Yeah. Yeah. If you like that stuff, that stuff continues to this movie. Oh, that's great. And they have that and they have the different suits and everything still. Is there a lot of like KamiOSK fan service stuff in there?

There's a lot of stuff. Apparently, there's a lot of just under the surface stuff for you can easily miss it. And someone pointed out there was something on a screen towards the movie. In the timeline, it's Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, and then the Incredible Hulk movie, the Edward Norton one. That takes place after Iron Man 2.

So that Ed Norton Incredible Hulk movie is canon. Yes. OK. You definitely got a million Marvel is constructing something larger, and there are smaller pieces involved. OK. And the smaller pieces have to be huge blackbuster movies. Right.

It happened to be $300 million movie. So towards the end of the movie, you can see something that mentions something about the Hulk and stuff like that. And there's little tidbits thrown in throughout the movie. Is Stanley the movie? Stanley isn't the movie. OK.

I missed that. So you'll have to tell me later I missed that because I wasn't looking for it. Maybe I was in the bathroom when that happened. But I want to be clear, Jack's not really giving anything away by saying that. No, I don't know. So if you're cringing, I'm very not really giving anything away. No, no, no, no. So if you're your cringing, I'm very anti-spoiler. Yeah, you would not, you would not see this.

You would have to be looking for this to see it. Like if you didn't know in the first Iron Man movie, apparently Captain America shield is sitting in Tony Stark's lap. Yeah, I had to go back and rewatch it to see that. Yeah, so did I. I must still like the first four tonsils on the movie. What Jack's talking about is on that level. Yeah, it's on a screen towards it.

Yeah, it doesn't spoil anything in this movie. How in the world, like you saw you met someone or something, you know, someone in the Q&A, someone spotter. Or actually, Favreau said, did anybody see this? And get some guy yelled out, oh yeah, I was on a screen. He's like, oh yeah, you got it. So now I'm gonna, and also the movie we saw last night, there wasn't a PS, there was no scene after the credits rolled,

but Favreau very much hinted, yeah, you might wanna go see it again. So, he was funny, because he came up during the end credits rolling, and he started talking, and he goes, hey, hey, everybody quit looking up there, there's gonna be no scene at the end of the credits, because we're doing the Q&A.

So, he pointed out that when they had a screening before, they didn't have kind of a button scene at the end, but that who knows, that's basically how he left it. Yeah, so it's pretty much he confirmed it, that there will be one. What was the scene in the last book? I don't remember. It was the Nick Fury scene. Oh, right. Yeah, showing up and talking about the Avengers and the Shield and all that.

There's a lot of Nick Fury in this movie, too. Well, a lot, a lot as compared to the first one as opposed to half a second I'm that credit as he's bigger than an Easter egg in this way essentially but like No, I don't want to go to the guy that could be spoiler someone say I always take a seat So then we open May 7th, which is next Friday, right? That would definitely I mean put down the Halo reach beta Go see the movie. Yeah go go Go put down a bunch of dudes in armor to go watch a bunch of dudes in armor take shower first. Yeah, please go in public

Don Cheetle was great. Yes. Yeah, did you miss what's this face not even not it for didn't think about how we're Terrence Howard for a second Terrence Howard right? Yeah, is that the other time? Terrence there? No No, it's totally different. I totally didn't miss Terence stamp, you know, or Dame, Dame Treaty Dense Yeah, I think it's Terence Howard was James Rhodes in the first one, but yeah, I didn't miss him Gary Shanling was great Oh, you see him in the trailers. I'm happy. I'm happy Shanling's in them. I like him a lot I was a big fan of the Gary Shanling show Biggest surprise cameo was a That's I'll leave it yeah, I'm starting to feel spoiled

No, are you stop talking? Yeah a little bit all right so discovering some of those cameos like I know it's pretty fun Well, that actually he did actually kind of spoil something there because that was a funny moment you didn't expect and That's what made it cool way to go maybe you could anti-spoil maybe maybe you could bleep that name out of the yeah Yeah, okay, so the yeah, but it was it was really very good. Mickey Roker was good, everybody was good in it. I wanted to see more of Sam Rockwell. You look great. But it's a movie can only be so long. Yeah, absolutely. Do you think there will be an Iron Man 3?

Yeah, absolutely. I thought all of them signed on for a third one. There's still a lot more to do. If you look at the Iron Man's storyline, if you just look at Tony Stark, they have yet to do some of the bigger stuff with Tony Stark. And they've invented some new stuff for the movie, which kind of fits in thematically with Tony Stark. Favreau talked a lot about taking stuff in the comic

that's lame and making it great for the movies. Yeah, making it. It's trying to make it cool. And they talked about, so he talked about some of the way he converted himself. We can't really mention that because it's oil for sure. Absolutely. Who are going to see Iron Man next week? So, well, it sounds like everyone had a great time. We did. And then we went to the high ball afterwards, which is the

Alamo owns a bar next door, which is like this 50s, early 60s, lounge type bar where they have bowling lanes in the bar and karaoke rooms and karaoke rooms and Favreau DJ the entire party which was pretty cool. Yeah, I like two hours. What kind of music did he play? Did he plug his iPod in and put on his jams playlist? No, he's up there with the turntables man, you know? Oh really? Yeah, I mean it was I don't know what what the deal was. I didn't know that was a skill that he possessed but Wow

He's up there. It's pretty cool spinning records and he went very it was the smoothest transition I've ever heard from Kanye West to AC DC It played a lot of Michael Jackson too. Yeah, it was pretty cool. It was very well done very well done and and Jack and I Were hanging out for a while in there and then we went we grabbed a lane where you have your own kind of private booth and everything to drink from and Jack and I bowled a few games and I learned that I may better left-handed bowler than I am a right-handed bowler Interesting I bowled an entire game left-handed and got 20 pins higher than I did with my right And I almost beat Jack's highest score with his right hand. He need me my two pins when I was bowling left-handed And that was his highest score of the evening.

Wow. What was your high score? No, no, let's not go into specific. Let's just go with Triton. Oh, it was that. Actually, can we be happy with that? Yeah, I don't like talking about that. I don't like talking about that.

Remember, I heard you were a pretty good bowler. Bernie said you were pretty good. It's Jeff's dirty, dark secret is that he was a semi-pro bowler as a teenager. Nice. I don't talk about that. Try to go to West Texas A&M or anything like that? Go to the home bowling schools? No. We used to have a bowling night at the old place used to work at.

You're just like fun, like after work at midnight we'd go out to the bowling lanes. And I remember we invited Jeff right after he started. He showed up like all of us just went and like rented, you know, a ball and shoes and whatever. Jeff showed up with a ball in a bag and with like the gloves that the professional bowlers wear and like the whole data, they're like, what the fuck is this? I don't derive any enjoyment from bowling or talking about bowling. What was your highest score ever? 243. That's not that good, is it? Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay, that's like eight strikes or so nine. I think nine I

You had nine strikes you got two forty three. Yeah, that seemed possible And if you don't get them all together, yeah, those three missed strikes can cause a lot of trouble Oh, oh, I was right because you get 12 for that's a second 10 years here I didn't allow the meal together, but ever I think of you you in bowling burning. I was thinking of the pizza bowl Up in who was that? No squalamy. No squalamy. That tiny ass little pizza place bowling alley.

Yeah. We went up there for that weird summit that we didn't even know existed. Yeah. Of, can we, that was a weird deal. Did we ever talk about that before? I don't think we have. So we got invited. I don't know.

We can talk about this, but we get invited to just come out to dinner one night up in Seattle. And it was at some resort just outside of Seattle and snow squall. I think we were there for the child's play charity dinner. And then this thing was right after that. Right. But it was essentially like a symposium of people meeting. It was like a direct ex symposium where it was just every major developer, literally developer, not the studios, the guys who showed up at this resort to get together to determine what they needed to be in the next Direct X chips. What feature sets they wanted on graphics hardware? Where the hell were you there?

That sounds like a blast. We just knew somebody who was there and they invited this to come to dinner and it was just it was like the Avengers. Yeah, like we showed up and it was already towards the end of the evening and there are a couple of open chairs and most, you know, there's still a few people starting out sitting around talking and they're like, oh hey, Bernie, just, man, you guys just missed John Carmack, you just took off. Like, what the fuck is going on here?

Yeah, it looked like, it looked like, if If they were politicians it would be conspiracy theorists like nightmares I knew it. I knew this happened. It's the Illuminati. It's the November group See again. I remember the like at first we missed the person we were trying to meet with and we showed up We couldn't find out what was going on and if we had to valley our car So we you know we valley our car walked in couldn't find the guy turn around to walk out and the valley's like oh Leaving so fast like oh, yeah, we're supposed to meet someone we couldn't find him. We're just gonna go down to that pizza bowl And you remember this yeah, and then like so we go down to the pizza bowl It's not playing some bowling and you know eating pizza

Then the dude who was supposed to meet us at the resort shows up at the pizza bowl was like the valley said you guys were over here It was just a whole no all right So we were in a black light light bowling alley with fluorescent balls. I mean bowling balls. And so all the pins are glowing and all the bowling balls are glowing. It was the weirdest, most surreal place I've ever been in my life. I think you had a journal on our website, didn't you? That night, like, chronicling the progress of our bowling game.

Like, you were taking pictures with your sidekick., that must have been before the the main site right? This has got to have been like five years ago It was longer than that. It was a long-ass time ago That was that have been on the forum on the old PHP I don't know. I don't remember. I don't know either. I feel weird just you can talk about that thing That's okay. It was really bizarre and odd bit of trivia that resort where they were all meeting was Like where they filmed twin peaks like the long man really yeah It was really weird to walk in there really creepy like the waterfall was back there and everything You know, I like that whole story. The Jeff takes away from it is a dopey fucking TV show

He's upset he didn't get to go to the set of that show. I am you're a beer big twin peaks fan right big David Lynch fan Yeah, yeah, you would be next time we're in Seattle. We can probably carve out little time dude. I would love that Thank you. You just a big twin pig fan, right? I'm a big David Lynch fan. Yeah, yeah, you would be. Next time we're in Seattle, we can probably carve out little time. Dude, I would love that. Thank you. You can still get there? Yeah. Okay, cool.

But hopefully pizza bowl is still there. There's a huge waterfall right next to it. It's awesome. Yeah. You go stand on this like little observation deck and watch this enormous waterfall. That's awesome. And be cool when you spend a day. I guess we went bowling one time for a flash and eyes birthday party at main event. Yeah, then is she bowl there?

Yes, I don't remember you going too crazy. I don't even know that well like you weren't super intense about the game or anything Well, I don't know you may have been but I didn't bring any of my gear I just you some she's become like so reserved as soon as we started talking about bowling you claimed up Yeah, is something we should know now we just know we know how to go just shut up in the future Yeah, the bowling kill your father what's up here you're like I did I just I don't know I don't know did you have a bad bowling experience that the bowling ball touched you Jeff were bowling in general was a bad experience for me from start to finish I don't know how to describe it I just don't like it you know Jeff

also single-handedly killed the bowling night we used to have at the old the at the old place of employment. I can't hear it. It's just something I'm very focused on and if I bowl and I don't bowl a 300 I get mad at myself. I get really really really mad at myself because I know what I need to do to roll bowl strike every single frame and if you can't do that and bowling is just repetition then it's just extremely frustrating. And if you, it's almost worse, to, you know, to, you go from bowling like five days a week for, you know, five or seven years or so, to bowling like once every three years,

and I don't, I feel like my skills should not atrophy, because of my head that I'm still as good as I was at that moment, you know? But then I go on a bowling, I can't do it, and I bow like a 180, and I just want to fucking punch myself in the face. It's horrible. Can I like trying to score a touchdown in Techm the face. It's horrible. Kind of like trying to score touchdown and tech mobile. Yeah, it was kind of like that.

Bar none. The worst glory day story. I have no glory day. I can't ever tell in my life. There was no glory. I didn't like it. I hated it. I fucking hate bowling. I found my journal entries when we first started the website. Uh, first started the, the, the social media said, what do we call this thing? Our community site. Community site, what do we call this thing? Our community site?

Community site. What do we call it? December 10th, 2004, is when I put it up. I screwed up and got the wrong time for a dinner meeting. So Gus and I are in some small town in Seattle, killing time, small town in Seattle. We found some tiny little bowling alley in Snow Squad, a me called the Pizza Mole. It serves pizza and has a small bowling alley. Did I mention that we're drinking Bud Light out of bottle shaped like bowling pins?

I forgot about that part of it. You know, it's the first time we'd ever seen that. All the bowling pins shaped beer bottles. This is the greatest place ever. I'm going to live at pizza bowl. So that's, I guess we'll link up that. So. That's funny. Wow, that journal entry has 12 comments.

Which we heard how much are cited grown since then. Yeah, for sure. And a plus 10 on it. I guess that was back when it's not gonna have 12 comments which we have how much are cited grown since then yeah for sure yeah and a plus 10 on it I guess that was back when it's not gonna have 12 comments for long I guess yeah yeah that's one of my biggest pet peeves on the site is when people go back to our old journal entries and just start making comment I shouldn't even say that not gonna do that yeah yeah yeah I would have actually get a smiley face on 400 fucking journals now. I can see the final score of our game, you won 99 to 81.

Why does Gus say one? Like I don't know. That comes out every now and then. You say two words strange that you say one like Juan and you also say ring. Ring. Instead of ring, you say ring. When do I do that? You also, I think I think we've broken you But you also used to say Chicago rule. Yeah, I'm very conscious about the way I say that now Chicago I'm sick of hearing about it Chicago Where did first-feeler take place scuff?

Chicago it's actually it was a fictitious town. Wasn't it just that? Boy Jack you almost got them there We didn't see that coming. Wait a blind side of No, it was close Man, I can only have 12 comments on that journal that must have been like Two months after the community site launch. I think we launched it in late October of 04 Is that right? I thought we wanted to September. I thought we'll just launch in September as well September was like the beta Closed-us closed-optus for us. I think we officially September was like the beta closed-off just for us. I think we officially like sent out invites for forum users. Oh, you might be right. Like at the end of September, like September 30th. Yeah. We opened it for the public October 30th.

I'm going to maybe kill your memory of this, but I don't think our beta testing period was that robust. Does this work? Does that button work yet? Just turn it on. And then it promptly crashed. That was fun. Good time. like a week. It did. It's always funny when you look at look There's one thing the internet is such a dynamic environment One thing the internet resists more than they also is change the internet does not like change And I remember when we went from that PHBBB forum to the community site People were like what the fuck is this thing get Get rid of this. This thing is terrible. What do you mean pictures?

We're gonna make journals? No, no, no. This is, you guys have forums. That's what you guys do. And remember that? Yeah, it was still like, people hated it. People hated it. And now it's like 890,000 subscribers to it, you know?

And I couldn't imagine Red vs Blue Rishies without the community site. I feel like it's really, you know, helped not only bring us closer in touch with people who watch the shows, but it's also made like this little clicks of people all around the world. Like, you know, there's the RBB T.O. crew who like always meet up. Yeah. There's like the can West people and there's people like in Australia and you see like all over the world. RBB Minnesota. RBB Chicago. RBB Philly. I even hear that they're trying to organize like a RVB California to go on like in San Diego

like right around the same time as Comic Con. You and I went to an RVB soft Carolina ones. Yep. Yep. That was that night we thought the the plane was going to crash. Yeah. It was a comic about that. Yeah, that was.

Are we ever going to do an RVB like TX or anything? We do every day right here It's a fucking exclusive club. Congratulations. Thank you. Get cracking on that I had a lot of life, you know any kind of live event or convention something like that We've talked about it before but you know an awesome it's a cool place to come to I mean I mean it's definitely a fun place to visit And we should shit be sure I, talk about enough on the podcast. Everyone would know where to eat when they come here. I'm also Jeff Gus. You know, count 3d has

a list now of all the places you've mentioned. You have all the places he wants to go to based on what we've talked about. And like, when it comes to town, like he crosses stuff off and tries to go to all the places he can. I hope Gordos is at the top of the fucking list. Oh, you guys. Oh, you guys. We went there last week. Yeah. Based on the podcast, I think. And Oh, you guys. Oh, you guys won. We went there last week, based on the podcast, I think. And what did you eat? I had the flying pig, which was a giant donut with like five strips of bacon on top of it and then dipped in maple syrup.

Oh, I had the mother clucker, which was a giant donut covered in fried chicken strips and with honey butter. And I had the PB&J, which is a donut with peanut butter, icing, jelly, and then peanut butter chips, like chocolate chips with peanut butter. Oh, so good. It was simultaneously the best and worst thing I had

ever eaten in my entire life as I was eating it. Those people are going to hell. They are. They are. It's going to be delicious. It's fucked up. We got there and I was ordering and I thought, is one donut gonna be enough for me? Should I order two donuts?

I couldn't finish one. Yeah, this seems like this isn't gonna work, it's like, okay, I'll just order one donut and then if I want another, I'll order another one. I almost finished that one donut. They're quite close. The funniest thing about that place is that there's three facilities right there, like in kind of like a horseshoe. There's a coffee shop, Gordos, and then in the back was a farm to fresh, healthy food

place that was not open. That was close to it. I cannot imagine that they get great business. I think that's the Gordos. It's like a little, a little, a couple of trailers essentially. And there's a lot. It seems like there's a couple of areas like that around Austin. Like there's the South first trailer park.

And that's so cool. Has one now. Yeah. You know, we did this thing now when we're working late during crunch areas like that around Austin like this is the South first trailer park So co has one now. Yeah You know, we did this thing now when we're working late during crunch time The easiest thing for us to get in the middle of downtown at night unfortunately is Domino's pizza and they have these They're called lava cakes chocolate lava. Oh, yeah I don't love cake and it's always this kind of the atrix that we go through

When we ordered the pizza do we need the pizza because it's always this kind of theatrics that we go through when we order the pizza. Do we need the pizza? Because it's two in the morning, we have to get something. And it's always like people feel the obligation to say, oh hey, they have those cakes too, you know, it's about a cake, you know? And nobody orders it, it's how they always get ordered.

Like they're not for anybody, they just show up. And then Brandon eats it and goes into a coma. I don't know. A couple years ago I saw this guy, you know, I spent a lot of time working at the Colo and it's just a bunch of, you know, servers with no interfaces like all command line, all text-based things. And I saw this guy wrote a Unix shell script you can run at command line that interfaces with Domino's web pizza ordering system. So you can run this command at command line and specify all the little flags you want.

And it'll order pizza from Domino's for you at your Colo. Really? Yeah. Like you do like slash p, or dash p if you want pepperoni and then specify the size and everything. You have to write a config file with your address and your phone number. It's really, really weird.

Or you should just pick up the phone. Have you ever used it? No, I've never used it. Oh, hey, this reminds me while we're on the subject of Austin eateries there's a new trailer over by kabobalicious and cilantro that has like a bunch of surfboards and stuff on it I think they sell burgers or something we should go run over for lunch and grab it and bring food back yeah sounds good yeah what's it called you know I don't remember it was a cool name though it looked like a good place I'll put it in the link dump so we're gonna go today. What's the, what do you mean? I'm just looking at you.

I'm just looking at you. I'm just like, alright, I think we were just talking about the food section of the podcast. Should we talk about the credit card? If you want to. Should we talk about that? They don't take credit card at those places. How was my email received after I sent that? I don't know why you waited so long.

I didn't send it. I didn't send it. Do you know how a credit card comes to credit card? How do you know? Do you? You should love those trailers because you know how a credit card, I come to credit card? How do you know? Do you? You should love those trailers because they don't take credit card there. I love those trailers because they don't take credit cards. Cash money.

Somehow, lunch expenditures got reached a fever pitch on our credit card statement. It's everyone talking about food in the podcast and listening. I had to send out an email to everybody going, you know, part of the conversation is not a free lunch every single day. I'm pretty sure it's all herb sigils fault we're not gonna name names I'm gonna name names of people who you just named some people some people some people had up to 75% of their overall purchases were food perch well someone has to keep bikinis in business and I don't see you doing it you know there's only 22 working days in a month. And between the three of you guys, there's 60 purchases for food in a month.

I find that questionable. Something's going on. Like I think there's some kind of like, carbohydrate ponzi scheme. I don't know what it is. So it's paper sacks for the next few months. Hey, hey, my coffee way. Oh, we love eating paper sacks.

I guess I get a coffee. Are we getting a coffee machine at the new office? We are getting a coffee machine at this office. Oh, this office. Part of my promise to the school. That's my way to remind you. Hey, let's go buy coffee machine. I got ousted as mayor of bikinis by the way. Are you still doing four square? No, that was the final thing. I deleted it from my phone. Once you got ousted as the mayor, you couldn't take it anymore.

I got ousted from like Peter Pan mini golf and like a not stubs Grim skeet and I was like all right the bikini was the final straw And tell you deleted four square. Yep. That was a fad that died very quickly for me I I mentioned that on the Twitter post those guys were offered a hundred million dollars To buy four square and they turned it down really who offered that I don't know and they turn it down and that fat is almost dead and I don't think they're gonna get I don't know I hear a lot about four square and go wall and how many uses they have when the jersey short cast signed up on four square and I was like a big deal MTV was promoting is like yep this is about to die that or blow like it's about to die at all like it's about it's about to explode. I just read an article about how big of a deal Forescore was in the front page of CNN.com like last week.

If anything, it's probably bigger than ever. Twitter recently did some kind of update where they have better foresquare integration now. That's cool. No, not that tool. Not that cool. I have one person I follow that they literally check in at their home every time they show up at home and on the weekends

They check in and that's gonna make me stop following that person so you know when to rob them That's a good point For Square you never check in when you leave you know, where's you trying to become mayor of your neighbor's house Bernie? Yeah, oh, yeah, some guy some guy near me, but then you know I think I was the first person to leave for square I think you are the first person to install it, weren't you? I was, because I heard about it. I forget where somebody I followed.

I think it's one of the college humor people that I follow on Twitter. They were talking about it a lot, and then I signed up for it. It seemed cool at first, but it just, it wears off quickly. Can you really see the end of it, or I guess the lack of an end of it very quickly We're like oh, this is it. Okay. Well, I'm out of here. Although I have to say it's the only app and the only social media thing that I Everything seen where it made me getting contact with someone in person because it said so and so is here You know this person. They're here and I Contact them somebody we used to work with actually that's a Gus. I met up with you with this Chicago airport.

Yes, but Chicago airport. Yeah, we were, Joel and I were flying back from Canada from a trip and I was flying back from Canada. I'm going back from a different part of Canada. And we both landed at the same time and checked in on floor square. And we're like, oh, hey, are you here? Yeah, that was the night of the year. Yeah, let's talk to your teacher.

Yeah, let's talk to the championship game. Was that night speaking of Canada, you're going to Canada this weekend, right? I'm going on Saturday. Yeah, going to Vancouver to go check out more skate three. Cool. So hopefully I'll have some good stuff from that. And I'm I think I might be bringing back a copy for us. We'll see. That'd be awesome. What does that game come out? May 17th, I think we have the we have the board right there. That says that's April.

All right. Four million April. It makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. I hate you. I skate three coming out in a couple weeks. Yeah, that was a I meant that dude at Pax East the the guy who's one of the main developers for it. He's really cool dude cuz cuz his name cuz yeah Just a really cool guy. Yeah hanging out. Yeah, cuz I'm a really relaxed dude cuz Perry justator. Yeah, yeah Yeah, really like really personable. I hate to say but a lot of developers not really the most personable People in the world that's just the I guess the nature of The business industry. No putting my mouth was saying no, but I know this guy was a super laid-back very cool guy and I don't know I got nothing to say there

Yeah, he's in the other skate three thing I did for PAX East He's in the other skate three thing I did for PAX East. Oh cool. Yeah, Cuzz Perry is his name and he's been in all three skate game or yeah, all three skate games. He's in this one. I think we just like people that it seems like we'd we'd meet in Austin like we always like that's got Campbell dude. Absolutely. No, absolutely. You know, somebody said we should make a math. This is the worst. Oh man, that's the worst. I don't know if you could ever say it with that. That's like a teacher with that kind of inflection on it though You just got he's got to meet that guy. Oh, man 50 plus 20 What's going on

The smoke coming out of his ears He's a calculator, but I gotta tell you I have I made a technology purchase that's really Just embarrassing this shit out of me. It's just it's really sad So I went about this watch this Casio watch. I like digital watches. I like it either I think I'm gonna fall out of a plane. Let's see. I'm gonna see it. It's right here. See? This BS watch it looks nice. It's got an altimeter on it. It's got a compass on it good things to have just in case You know, I mean yeah if you thought a plane wearing, you know, you can calculate how fast you're following. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? If you wake up in this loss and

you know, you know, I'll know what direction is what? There you go. There you go. And it's very cool except for one thing, it's solar powered, which also seemed very cool because I'll never have to get battery shows watch or anything for the rest of my life. Here's what this watch has taught me. I don't go in the sun because I don't I don't spend enough time in light to power my watch. It tells me all the time it's on low battery and then the time disappears and I have to push a button to see the time because it's in this low power mode. So I literally put my watch under a lamp at night to give it enough light to yeah you should watch that's like LCD powered it's so sad that's so sad right that's pretty sad

oh man it's not good that's rough so I guess what do you do outside you essentially walk to and from your truck from the parking garage to the building yeah pretty much that the extent of it I mean walking back to the truck it might already be dark by the it might be Yeah, I'm yeah, I might be dark when I go out at yeah at that time and then I when I on the weekends You guys were talking about gardening stuff last time. Garden is a fucking bomb and I discovered mulching by the way I do yard work out of gardening Gardening but that's if that's about the only time to watch is like it's like a fish being put in

Cleaning water. It's so happy and bright and sunshiney But that's been a kind of a wake up call for me at this watch. It's almost like a death alarm Man, I had to set out some some dishes with beer last night to try to fucking deal with the snail problem We have you know what else helps with that coffee grounds I heard that that's kind of an urban legend. Wait wait wait, it's supposed to help. Yeah. Dishes with beer? Yeah, apparently you can put like a dish out and fill it with beer and like bury it so that's like right at ground level. Doesn't that attract hobos? It attracts snails and they fall in and drown. And the hobos eat the

snails. That's how you get rid of it. Hobos love that's cargo. We have a very classy hobo scene in Austin. I would just say that like I put out the dishes of beer and I woke up and I had no snails, but Jeff was sleeping But I look I checked in this morning before I came to work zero snails you really so the The beer dishes work. No, no, there were zero snails in the dishes. Oh, I think there were there were snails all around the dish We have serious Fucking snail problem this year, man It's ridiculous. You got snails at your house. What's that you get snails at your house? No, I got a bean bear chag No, I have no snails at my house. I have no beef with snails. I hate you know I wanted to let them be but they just

Multiplying like crazy. Yeah, they will fuck your stuff up. Yeah, they're eating everything. I Got a dog that digs holes in my heart And I'm about to kill for digs wonder that dog digs More hole in my yard. I think I'm gonna lose it. Is it your dog? Yeah, it's my dog Okay, so you dog gonna dig his own grave Have you doubled up on the number of dogs Jeff's ever zone Jeff has ever owned yet? Got to be in close. No, I don't think so because he went through a good run there for a while And I've had this dog a long time. I think Jeff's toped out at at six I had three I had three dogs. I've had three dogs. I've had

I've had six yeah, you've had more than three I had four I forgot about the bulldog Yeah, actually had the bulldog you had Zazu The dog ate a couch dog ate it. I had a pointer that ate a couch Eight in a tire couch while I was at work one day There was it just toward the it tore an entire couch to pieces. There was, I found parts of that couch for years. Not to move out of that house. It was, it was destroyed by the, by the couch.

I find like pieces of couch in a pocket of like a jacket, like years later. Like what is this? It's like, oh, that's the couch in Zezu, ripped apart. And then I had, uh, Georgie, the bulldog, which was just too rough with our kids, and we found somebody who really loved bulldogs at Tucker. And then we had Muddy, who, when we moved, I kind of lived in the country for a while,

when we first started Revers Blue, and then I moved into Austin. And that dog was the greatest dog ever, but as soon as we got it around other kids, that was kind of a nightmare because it would bark and snap at other kids. That's the last thing you want when you're in a neighborhood like what we live in, you know, with a bunch of small kids around. And that got to be a real problem, like we were trying to figure out what to do with old muddy. And then now we have Charlie, who is a great dog, she's just so strange, and she's huge. I like big dogs. Yeah, this is the giant dog, right? That's the size of a couch and just literally just doesn't

move all day hopefully Zazoo doesn't get around Charlie yeah no no but you remember if you guys ever seen a TV chase funny farm yeah yellow dog that like lays its tail in the fire and that's that dog okay that dog is not moved for anything I love it so when it dig. I don't know what it digs But it digs so What's it looking for you think? I don't know. It's probably trying to dig up saints Demonic words so that's how many buried there when they fix this regular still no devil trouble at your trouble at your house No, I'm still doing okay so far for now for now

We'll see. My house usually has its haunted periods in the fall, like in October, November. Like Halloween time. I guess, yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, sure. So anybody by what you did, right? You bought Avatar.

I'm Blu-ray, right, Bernie? I bought Avatar. I'm Blu-ray and it came with DVD as well. That's great. I read that. I guess. No, I mean, I like it when they do that because you can get the burst of all the worlds.

But I don't like TVs making burst of me for a second. I don't know. I read that Avatar is the highest selling Blu-ray ever. By far. You think that'll be like the Matrix of Blu-rays? Like as Matrix was to DVDs? I think it is. It's only a million and a half copies on the first day.

I'm curious to see if it's the matrix for 3d TVs when the 3d version comes out next year. Could they? I mean a lot of stuff could bank on Avatar for a long time, I think. Yeah, I've read an article talking about how the success of Avatar and Blu-ray may not bode well for 3d because people may just be interested in the Blu-ray version and then not want to rebuy it and aren't interested in the 3d upgrade at home. If I were James Cameron, I would try to keep this rolling and just make all kinds of wacky shit just so like I would be like an avatar serial the fastest selling serial of all time. Yeah, make like the Avatar Pontiac.

No, I read a stat that it was like a... Avatar. It took Avatar four days to outsell Dark Knight, which was the previous high selling best Blu-ray. Yeah, it sold 600,000. So it sold more copies in total than Dark Knight has sold? Yeah, in four days. Yeah, that's a big deal.

Now is the old one. That took like 16 months to get to that point. I really don't want to make Blu-rays of Red versus Blue. I was kind of hoping everything would move over to digital. You know, and we wouldn't have to go through and make, you know, additional. Really? Even after you've seen what we've done with like the draft house and stuff,

and how we're going to do it. No, the resolution is great, but we can deliver it, we can deliver it, digital delivery, you know, and it said now it's something that we're, you know, I don't think we should do it. I don't think we should do it either. Really? Well, I also think of all the CD trees we'd be saving in the Amazon rainforest. Come on. I think, I mean, the people really, I don't like physical media. I don't. I don't like the audience does I really don't There's gotta be some kind of way no, but whenever we ask people what they would prefer what they would buy they end up Entering it and they're not buying anything. So yeah, it's very true. Don't point an ask. Well, you got to have something to sell it cons Right. What's that you have to have something to sell it cons?

It's a download code. Yeah, there, there you go. Don't lose it. I'm just curious, those guys that we meet at all the conventions, they sell that animation software and they went to the convention in Amsterdam and forgot all of their software. They were trying to sell people stuff they didn't have. They had the box. There was just nothing in the box, right? So they sold boxes. This old box is until people are given their email address and they would send them they would send them the disc later when they got back to America. Jesus.

That's the kind of fuck up that can happen in a place like Amsterdam I think. Those guys last year at Comic Con I ran into them. Those one of those same guys who lost everything in Amsterdam I ran into him at Comic Con. He said that he looked terrible. He looked like you're super hungover at Comic Con. I said, you know what happened he was like I was a drunk last night and I Left our cash register in the back of a taxi along with my backpack with a bunch of software and our credit card processing terminal to How are you still in police? Did he did he get it back? No, he never got it back. Wow

Wow, that is crazy. That's everything. That's everything. Like, what did he pick up? They still had one cash register. I guess the other guy working their head and some of the money, but he's lost most of it. Also, the boss's baby left it. Well, it seems like that's enough things in one cab. We're gonna have to make multiple trips to load the cab.

And then you just say, fuck it and get out of the cab and ask me, like, nothing at all. That's what makes want to get drunk. And that guy always has a cooler in his booth with lots of beer. Yeah, it's true. That's like, yeah, we moved offices, but we forgot to bring our stuff. So the desk is just out the old voice. Fuck it. What is my index?

We didn't think about that. What are you guys looking forward to? Are you guys looking forward to Red Dead you guys looking forward to red dead redemption? That's the one on my red dead and Alan Wake. So when does red dead come out? We keep asking questions we're never prepared to eat. It's in of May. I don't know. The calendar doesn't turn apparently. Do you want me to get up and watch?

Hold on a second, Jack. Let me help you out. Also look when Alan Wake comes out. That was going to be my next question. What is Alan Wake? Is that just kind of like a thriller video game? It seems like it. Yeah, I saw the demo at X10 and I still can't give you an accurate description of what exactly it is. I'm going to give you my description based on just little things I've picked up. And I know what's wrong.

Alan Wake is a schoolteacher and there's something to do with scary ghosts that only appear in headlights of cars. I think he's actually a rider. Yeah, he's a novelist. May 11th. I was correct. May 11th is skate three, going back to that one. And then May 18th is Red Dead and Alan Wake and Prince of Persia. Oh, Jesus.

On the same day. I think Alan Wake's really the only one I'm looking for. And I think Split Second comes out on that day. Or Blower, one of those games. So four triple A titles in a single day. I think it's more than that. Hold on. Let me consult the calendar. I'm in my journal. We're talking about the community site earlier. We were doing a funny game in my one of my journals where you take something like you

got. So what is the most popular thing that people watch and talk about? But you have never seen a single iteration of a TV show or one of the movies. I don't like desperate housewives or grazing atty me or something like that. Have you ever seen a single desperate housewives? No. So tell us what desperate housewives about. Because you've... It's for horny women who live on a cold attack and who backstab each other and try to sleep with everyone they can.

Right? Okay. I was thinking to start. I don't know. Sounds pretty close. I was doing 24. You try to describe the game was try to describe something in excruciating detail That you've never seen before but you've just picked up from like people talking about it or all that stuff My mind was 24 like burn notice like Good example and it was funny to see people is like especially when you're

Assuming familiar or something and seeing someone else describe it. I had my wife do halo Try to strap the story of Halo. And it was horrible, really horrible. There might even be an old thing you wrote back in the drunk gamers days where you wrote about the soldier of fortune demo. Yes. But you interviewed your wife and asked her what she thought about the game?

Well, I said I was too lazy to write the thing. So my wife was in the room when I was playing the game. So I just thought, I'll get my wife's impression of the game from a side spectator view. And it was pretty funny. Of my favorite line that I think was what do you think? G.G. Means everyone always she's like everyone always say that. I don't know. It's like take that G Take that G and I said no, it's good game. Then she thought she said uh

So you guys yell and scream at each other and shoot each other and then the end of race is good game I go yeah, she's that's so cute I said no, it's not not cute at all. How many times have you written in a game or said in a post game lobby, said good game everybody when you are seeing that you're like yeah good game. I never say that. I never have said good game. I say it all the time.

The fact that the the angry is moved by doing any video game is in post game lobby of Halo or you know Halo 3. What's like good game be button. I like to immediately like, you game everybody. Just like you're not recording. I'm the guy going you motherfuckers. You don't end up the next YouTube sensation. No I've been a party's with you and like you were the party leader and you said that

would be like we were playing like team battle or something then he was like all right good game then he back out it's like those fucking assholes. I'm immediately destroyed him. You just immediately, post game lobby used to be a lot more fun, more fun, more fun people started recording stuff. Because it would be like, you come into the post game lobby and like, you can hear people starting to shit talk when it's fading in like, hey motherfucker. Hey, champ, you want to use camp that fucking sniper like a little more fucking bitch?

You know, I like that did you see that part of reach is that you can There's a social component now to matchmaking where you can specify I'm a chatty player So I want to get matched up with other chatty players. Oh my god. Yeah, that's crazy or I don't want people to talk I don't want my team to talk. I don't want my team to talk I don't want to have you know, so that's a component of matchmaking now. That's pretty fucking cool I believe that is in the carnage carnival Vidoc can you a very cool? Can you specify like I'm not going to be wearing a mic I only want to be playing with people that don't wear mics. I hope so

Yeah, I never put my head up So what happens what happens when you like we're like specify you don't want tockers And then there's like one guy blabbering the whole time. Can you flag him? Probably. I ain't just mute him. That's where you always have that ability. They've added to Halo 3.

Yeah, it's making a, you've already, you've always been able to flag him. Yeah. You're not in front of this player. What I mean, like if he keeps, you know, if he's spamming the non-talking, like groups and then he's just talking the whole time. I don't know. I, you know, if, hopefully, you know, it's a cool idea though. Hopefully, you know, my mind. You some fucking negative Jack.

You know, Halo, I think, has like the best shit talking, you know, in the game in post-Law B. It's really good. There's some really funny, witty people out there, you know? I mean, it's pretty blue stuff, but it's surprising how funny people can be. This isn't Halo, but I recently was playing a game of modern warfare 2 and at the end of the game There was like a little kid in the you know their version of post game lobby and he was screaming like you stole my drop You stole my drop that was my drop. I called it and you stole it and I was like this real deep voice go Bitch wait for your balls to drop My lost I just started laughing four weeks ago. Bitch, wait for your balls to drop. Lost that sort of laughing.

They were talking about a for some reason on Halo, they always talk about frat boys that play it. It seems like everybody that I run into on a post game lobby sounds like a dude sitting in the middle of rural Nebraska playing the game. Those are the guys that I always hear the most on it. It's just like and there's some of the funniest guys on the game. Those are the guys that I always hear the most on it. It's just like, and there's some of the funniest guys on the plane. That's like a, you have to play Graut too. You will not play with somebody who doesn't have a Southern accent. Yeah. What it is, it's really weird. It's like a lot of French dudes and people with Southern accents. Yeah. That's the other thing too, is that you don't really run into it a lot, but there are games as they start to go further and further into the

life cycle, where you just start running into people that your entire team speaks Spanish, your entire team speaks Spanish. And you know, when it games at a tight of its popularity and there's tons of matches being made, you don't really run into them a lot, but it kind of, the game falls into like its niche. Yeah. Actually during the, during the Friends of Family Beta of Halo 3, I bumped into like a French squad. It was really, really strange. I was like, all right, have fun guys. I'm gonna be driving around the Mongoose.

Bigot the game hot off the presses. Yeah, I guess. Oh, shit. Yeah. What you got to talk about is there was a Halo 2? Was it both? Was it Halo 2 and Halo 3? Was it Halo 3 as well?

I know it was Halo 2. I don't know, man, but somebody walked off the manufacturing line, looked three weeks early with a copy of Halo 2 for sure. Oh wow I don't think they publicized the Halo 3 one very much God what just what do you get out of that? You know to mean how to do it that and then puts it online and you know people I guess download it Get the maybe go to jail their hack boxes Speaking to go to jail cuz mo no. Oh, yeah, what's going on with that? I don't know

I just saw the initial story out I haven't seen anything since. What do you think about that? They pulled all of Jason Chin's computers from his house, right? Yeah. That's nuts. While he wasn't home. And the warrant said that they were suspected in being used in the process of committing a felony. Yeah, that's pretty serious verbiage. Felony does not mean jail time.

Doesn't. You're right. But didn't the lawyer was saying that like I didn't get some others lawyer was saying That he's a journalist and journalist have like you can't take a computer. I'm glad you brought this up But but yeah, but then it's also been said that bloggers are not journalists or like like it's been a like a president has been set or something I don't know bloggers are considered journalists in California, but here's my beef with that argument. Okay, okay California, but here's my beef with that argument. Okay. Okay. Um, Gizmo to like throughout the big the front, the front half of this story and this problem. Gizmo to said, Oh, we're not bound by journalism school ethics. We're not journalists. You know, we have only one duty and that's, you know, to serve the readers.

And then as soon as they get in trouble, they're like, Oh, we're journalists. We're journalists. You know, we get the same constitutional protection. Yeah. But as well, they journalists are somewhat protected. But if they still use, you know, the equipment in the commission of a crime, it's still liable. You know, it's still subject to search war. Yeah, I think what they're saying is they should, the police should have issued a subpoena and then gocker should have then gone through the process with them of determining what was

and what was not journalist equipment. Yeah. Still pretty intense. Like if I came home and my door was kicked in and all my computers were being taken away, I'd be kind of shocked. If I stole them an iPhone 4G and made a video and posted on the internet, I'd expect. Yeah, that's that is also very true. Yeah. I gotta say I read Jack on this because it's it is bad is bad and I was clearly last week talked about Gizmodo and made my thoughts known on that but getting your door kicked in and your stuff rifled through and your computer seized, that is a different level. You know what I mean or the guy could potentially go to jail. I mean at the end of the day, it is a phone. You know what I mean? It is just a thing that people make and buy, you know what I mean? It is still like, but it is still stolen property that's had millions of dollars of R&D poured into it. And lots of people's jobs. And they completely fucked that guy over by putting his personal details online.

But they still, they still blurred out Jason Chen's personal detail. That is so, so hypocritical that they did that. Yeah, I mean, I have no sympathy for this. I'm good. I hope they burn his stuff. You never get it back. I Hear you. I mean I'm in the camp of Yeah, let's see gizmodo go out of business and nobody ever goes to their site again for being jackasses But people going to jail, you know, I mean I

Think there's bigger things, you know, I mean people going to jail in this year's league Millions of dollars. So millions of dollars. No, I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know with Bernie though. It's enough to ruin that career and that website They are more important people our jails are over overcrowded as it is

Yeah, you know, let's let's save jails for actual violent criminals Save jails for people the ones one, you know marijuana cigarette well not not even just not even just our jails But our police officers that investigate things right, you know I'm sure there's more important cases a pretty clear cut and they've got four guys adjacent chance house Yeah, you know, it's like we do them do we do the meth lab or the nerd these were also like the nerd police It was like the react task force these weren't the people who go like yeah, I'm afraid. How do you do that? How do you make a legal task force and give it a dumb acronym like that? Like you said react team. It's the rapid

something enforcement and Control team something with something like that and somebody had to sit down and come up with that You know that's just we don't need that. We just don't need that I agree with you that police resources, you know, might be better allocated for something more serious But in this case, you know, these aren't the guys who are gonna be out there, you know kicking down murderers doors Sure, it's like us with badges I like some of that. No, it sounds like a short right there. I would like to see Real justice in America. I'd like to see a judge who just goes. Okay, see jobs one free punch

Anywhere you anywhere you want to hit the guy one free punch and I honestly I wanted him to see him hit Brian Lam and not this Jason I don't even know who Jason said here. Here's the guy in the video Yeah, I want to see Brian lamb take the part. It's like a they're sort of the Simpson's in Australia where they give a boot. Yeah, yeah Cuz you know Steve Jobs would make like some kind of cybernetic power arm Let me bring about on stage like during the during the next uh by the way speaking of which what is that developer's conference called W WDC or what developer's conference. Worldwide developer's conference. I have a tiny hairline crack in my glass on my iPhone and it's making its way up across

the rest of the phone so I'm like I'm waiting this out now. Can you call like this car windshield repair place is coming to put the epoxy on it? You know you can it's one of the complaints about the new We're actually talking about gizmo to information now the new iPhone is apparently they can't replace the glass And you can actually call people now to replace the glass in the screen You're serious? Yeah, it's a actual business that people have online. I see it advertised in newspaper doesn't avoid your warranty or anything I'm pretty sure it does But I mean I think if people have a $600 cracked iPhone, and they're going to these people,

it's because AT&T said, oh, no, that's not normal wear and tear. So you use that thing for phone calls. Who does that? You have a cracked 3G, yes. And you also break your 3G before this? I did, I dropped it and shattered it, I cut the shit out of my hand too. I think I had a lawsuit.

You don't do these things have like lead and a murder and anything like that, right? Really a little. A little palladium. Full of mercury. Full of mercury. But yeah, so then I cracked this one too. I think I cracked this one by sitting on it.

That's another... You know, you... I think you put in your back pocket? I keep it in some pockets. You know? I keep my back pocket sometimes. I usually keep it in my jacket pocket, but we're out of jacket weather. The two months were able to wear a jacket in Austin.

Haven't now passed. And we're in due scor scorching hot and keep it in the breast pocket right there in your shirt I bet it would look sporting that pocket protector that'd be cool but yeah so I'm gonna wait it out and try to buy one of the new phones I saw I saw the new version on the website and it looked great how how interesting do you think the next Apple conference is gonna be early next you know when they when they release the 4G or whatever or the 4G Well shit, they got to call something else to release along with it now. I mean what are they gonna say? I mean how are they gonna preface that it's gotta be interesting They'll bring Jason Chen out on stage and publicly execute him. This is like King Kong

His roll amount how I run like with this whole thing be if Jason Chen gets sentenced goes to prison and somebody jail breaks Guess I see you looking at a floppy disc. I think I know it. What you go on over there. Oh, yeah I'm not did you hear about this that yeah, I do Sony is going to stop making 3.5 inch discets. Yep said They are the largest manufacturer of them and then by just March 2011, they're phasing them out. And apparently they still sell, they know who was quoted in the article that I read was verbatim, and they talk about selling hundreds of thousands of units a month in the US still, and millions a month in Europe. Really? People don't know where they're going. Yeah, I see people are using it.

Like the article I'm reading here has Japanese sales figures and they said that Disgets sales peaked in 2002. They sold 47 million discs that year. And in fiscal 2009, they sold 12 million discets. That's a 12 million in Japan? Yeah. In Japan.

What the fuck? Still a big business. And they're turning it off. What? Who... Do you know, I also read a thing that said, Sony's best-selling peripheral is the USB floppy drive, the 3.5-inch drive. Really? Yep. It's crazy. And they talked about something in which I'm always fascinated by,

which is why is it called a floppy disk? And that's a holdover from the 5 and a quarter floppy? Yeah, of course. Yeah, but it's one of the things where people who didn't use five and a quarter floppies don't know that. So you wonder why is something called what it's called? Like we talk about Madden. The football game is called Madden.

And when John Madden's dead for 10 years someday, he would be like, why the fuck is this game called Madden? Yeah. And what we were talking about last night, there was something else like that. Where it had a name and nobody knew why it was called what it's called. That was on the preview. That was on the other side of bowling. And then the maddened thing came up. But it's like an issue where something can take on a meaning that people don't realize. It's almost like your iPhone. It does so many things. Like I never think of my iPhone

as like something that makes or receives calls. It's like I do so many other things. It's like, oh, yeah, I guess like I've got this phone thing too. Yeah. Like that's another dream. Like why do we call it hanging up a phone? Or, you know. Or also, why is it called a phone? Is that a holdover from like a phoneograph or something like that? Telephone?

Yeah. Like, phoneograph? This means sound, right? Right. It means it transmits sound. Seems weird to me. It seems weird, but at least it still does that. I mean, I mean, Madden is not going to have any relation

to Madden is not going to have any relation to footballden's kind of a relation to football in 20 or 30 years So they still can call that franchise Madden 2030 instead of one just called NFL 2030. I wonder how much Madden gets every year from that game And we talked I think we talked about this before pretty sure we've talked about it I know many times before but he's got to make a mint of that. He does Oh, but you know, I wonder like it's as fun you bring this up because last night I was wondering I wonder how much in his lifetime Tom Clancy bringing this up because last night I was wondering, I wonder how much in his lifetime Tom Clancy has made off of licensing his name to video games.

Because he, I mean, he's been doing it since 1996. And Ubisoft outright bought the use of his name for video games in 2008. Yeah. So they own the Tom Clancy name. I wonder if it's some, if at point, he'll make more money off of video games and books. I wonder if he already did. Yeah, probably. It might be there. Yeah. Maybe not like three Tom Clancy games a year on the Xbox. Well, the interesting thing about video games, video games are a very high dollar industry,

but a very relatively low volume, low unit industry. Right. So a lot of times royalties are based on units sold and you know a good video game will sell 10 million units right but if 10 million people went to go see a movie that would be a hundred million dollar movie not that big a deal yeah but there's probably also 30 Tom Clancy games or more no no I get it yeah I know what you're saying but also I don't think many of the Tom Clancy games sell in the 9 million unit that's right that's halo and GTA I'm not sure GTA sold 9 million units. Maybe it did across

Oh, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I mean that's that's that's that's a high altitude for games But you know, I mean I'm don't get me wrong. She's making a ton of money, you know Yeah, but the real money and I think in royalties when when you do something small, and it's just friggin' everywhere. Like songs, you know? Songs that end up in movies and play over and over again, and they, songs have a huge life for royalties and everything else. Or if you write a book about a school for wizards. Yeah, I think it's turned into a video game, dope-ass Lego video game.

That'd be cool. But one of the things we talked about too before was, like what do you think the sweet spot in history would be to make a movie? Like let's take the Godfather as an example. Godfather came out when movies weren't even released wide. They released in cities and then slowly spread across the country. So they had a big theatrical release. But then it also got to go on VHS.

It also got to go on cable. It also got to go on DVD. It also got to go on Blu-ray to go on DVD it also got to go on Blu-ray now eventually it will you know it gets you go through every single format and all digital formats as well yeah yeah I would say that that sweet spot would be the day that Scarface came out yeah yeah Scarface is like had the crazy amount of merchandising stuff as well like I don't think there's a lot of godfather t-shirts no there's not but if you go to the fucking grocery store by our house You can buy a scar face rug, you know

We're fucking scar face posters still Now that's it. What was the was the with the resurgence didn't we? I think someone we bought the brand right? I think that's guess is right I think we read that someone totally unrelated to the scar face production just bought the rights to this kind of You know cult mid 80s hit and turned it into this massive gangster. It was like, five years ago, right? Five to 10 years ago, he just bought it and started pumping out merch.

Yeah, we've heard crazy stories like that. Like, let's bring something that you're familiar with, booze. Okay, we heard the story about the guy who bought the rights to Grey Goose vodka. I love it. I love the story. And Grey Goose vodka was a lower brand, nothing vodka. This is in the 70s. In the 70s. Yeah.

And you want to tell the story because you actually know what I'm just doing it from here say. Yeah, I was in a, I read it in American way in the magazine. I think that's when I both read it on a plane somewhere. Yeah. The story was about how ridiculously rich this guy is and how he's so rich that he just travels the world kind of like on a permanent vacation. And he brings a personal caddy with him wherever he goes. that he just travels the world kind of like on a permanent vacation and he

brings a personal caddy with him wherever he goes in case he wants to play golf. Like he's not necessarily going to play golf when he goes to Copenhagen but if he decides to he needs to have his caddy there with him. So this guy gets paid to just travel around the world with his dude just in case he feels like you know having a match and but yeah that guy bought the rights to Gregus in the 70s and couldn't figure out how to market it was trying to get it I don't know where the he was from Germany right I think yeah he was from Germany and he was trying to figure out international distribution and trying to figure out a way to to grow the brand

and he was failing like in every every step of the way and was running out of money and he had this idea what if I just double the cost of the vodka and he took it double the price double the price yeah so he went from there was like a $20 bottle and he said I'll just charge $40 for it in some success yeah he started like he started you know he doubled the price and started selling it and like I said late 70s early 80s he started selling it like was that club in New York 54? Yeah, 50s. Yeah, like going to like super high in places and selling it and just like placing it as being expensive at these fancy clubs. Didn't change the formula. No nothing. Just dumbing the past. I think he he also started painting made in France on the crates that he came in to try to make it seem fancier. Yeah and it worked. That's it. Now the dude has his own personal caddy.

Who scored the world? It was failing at the lower price. Double the price made it more exclusive. Instant leads to success. Which is why tomorrow I'm going to raise the price of all of our t-shirts to $72. Don't think it'll work the same way. Be just like Ed Hardy, right?

Yeah. But probably to France on it. See if that works. I saw some awesome Ed Hardy car seat covers at Target the other day. Did you tell me you saw somebody driving around and with that Ed Hardy steering wheel cover? Yeah, I saw her at the gas station by her house

and she got out of her car, left it on and put gas in the car and then just got back in. Oh, like. And she was a manager at the Jack in the box. She had her Jack in the box here in the form on. I just like, and it was like Ed Hardy, it was like the box. She had her Jack in the box. She had a form on I just like it hardy It was like the steering wheel cover was like covered in Koi, I think how do you get to that level of marketing and merchandising? We were like what else can we put the Ed Hardy brand on steering wheel covers? Everybody needs a steering wheel cover, right?

Everyone wants steering wheel to us. Good lord I'm reading follow up to this Greg Easter ads. Looked it up. Greg goose was sold in the largest ever single brand sale for $2 billion in cash to Bacardi. So it's a single brand. It's the most money a single brand has ever garnered in a cash sale in a sale period. And to get cash in a sale like that is amazing. This sale made Frank, the guy's last name who did this, an estimated profit on two billion dollars. He made an estimated profit of 1.6 billion dollars. I was like literally saying there's nothing there. It's like they made two billion dollars for four hundred million dollars for the stuff.

That's like a crazy. Oh man, that's great. But that's great. They paid two billion dollars for a name then. So it's like the ultimate markup. He died. When did he die? He died in 2006 at the age of 86. We must have read that article in 2005 or two. Yeah, I must have read it right before he died. Because the person was interviewing him on a golf course.

I remember that. Yeah, like it was the only way that he would meet with the guy. Was if he met with him on the golf course. Right. I love this. This is true. Before his death on January 10th, 2006, at the age of 86, his final projects included a premium dequila named

Corazone, which we know. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And crook energy drink, a joint venture with hip hop entrepreneur Lil Jon. So this 86 year old dude is getting together with Lil Jon. Lil Jon. God, so brilliant. That's fucking awesome. He was moving to shaker. God, so brilliant. That's fucking awesome.

He was a mover in a shaker. He was making money. That's a smart fucking dude right there. He chained, he doubled the price and then ends up selling the brand for $2 billion. Did you do him a giant check? I guess not. His new win was like Policeman's clearing house. Big like Haliburton Metal Suitcases.

That's how I know Haliburton by the way is because they're the metal suitcases you always seen movies Yeah, I'm not sure it's the same Halliburton though Like probably a division of it. Yeah, maybe so the metal suitcase division if I were that dude and I were that rich I would hire like an aging celebrity just to be my friend like I would hire Ed McMahon to follow me around Really? He's dead now. I don't know. Just be like oh this is Ed. He works for me What would you do if you had that much money? Guess what would you do? I Wouldn't tell you fuckers. I know I would say I think what you would do is help people Yeah, I know that right? No, no hide it. I wouldn't I don't think I'd do a damn thing different

Gus would love the moon or something I wait till I was drunk and the moon made me angry Then fucking boom My by moon to the guns to shoot at it all tight You know I had a really funny story where somebody they they put out this This story that apparently Richard Branson's new high orbit planes Mm-hmm they put out a pressure leasing when their planes come out They're not gonna be affected by stuff like volcanic ash because they're gonna fly up above all that stuff

Yeah, and somebody said said okay then it's official Richard Branson is now a bond villain because there's a volcano that goes off and his are the only planes that can fly. That's the plot of a bond movie right there. He's got to be right. If only the bond franchise wasn't in trouble. Richard Branson making awesome bond villain. Yeah he would. Or just Bill Hader playing Richard Branson. He does a good job. He does a really good job. Yeah he does. He was somebody that did a certain live where he like what do you think he likes the skydo from a space station to his work or something like that. I didn't see that. It was the celebrity celebrity

or the what's the show they have where the CEO goes and high undercover boss undercover boss but yeah he showed up on a lot of celebrity undercover boss a rocket hang glider or something like that that's awesome you see a Bill Hader crack up this weekend on weekend update yeah I saw that playing Stefan and he lost it and it was pretty good he couldn't keep it together you know we actually have something kind of close to Richard Branson here in America, but he's not quite as popular. Oh, you're talking about what's his face in that?

Mark Cuban? No, no. I was actually thinking about Richard Garriott, who's a video game developer guy who made a bunch of money, and he just took his money and went into space. Yeah. And spent seven days on the international space station. That's pretty fucking cool. We were talking to a guy last night who did a documentary on him that's coming out. What's that thing called?

I'm not sure. Okay, let's find out. We're named for documentary. I'm not sure the rich and great story. But this guy's I mean, the guy's crazy. Like, he was going to be the first guy to fly privately into space with the Russians. into space with the Russians and he couldn't be first because the dot con crash happened to the tech guy and lost a bunch of money was because thirty million dollars so in his own words he said I lost most of my fortune so then I had to make back thirty million dollars before I go again so he just did that so he just made back another thirty million fuck him and then just then totally cashes out and uses the money to go up into space it looks like like it's called Richard Gary, man on a mission. Man on a mission. Man on a mission.

And it was, I saw him in IMAX and this dude is, I've always been a Richard Gary's bank is, I played the ultimate games growing up and he's the guy who made Ultima and man it was just so cool to hear him talk about this stuff like he talked about the differences between the Russian space program and the American space program and it's completely different like he said that this Suya's rocket that they used that's the one which is between the Russian space program and the American space program. And it's completely different. Like he said that this Suya's rocket that they used, that's the one which is a big fucking column rocket. And they have a capsule on top.

It's like a bullet. Yeah, it's a bullet essentially. It's like, that's how they deliver people. The shuttle, American shuttle is used to deliver payload essentially. It's like to pick up truck at the space program. And the Suya's rocket delivers people. And we just trade off all the time.

Like, there always, we're always having to help the Russians move. Yeah, it's go figure. Hey, you guys have a truck, right? Want to help me this Saturday? I need to put a Hubble up into space. But uh, that's so he went up in a Soyuz rocket because there's no private American space travel yet. Um, but he talked about that if they schedule one of those rockets to go up, that it will go up, they schedule six years from now, it will go up on the second they say it's supposed to go up. Nothing stops those launches. And the shuttle, it's like they scrub a launch if, you know, a cloud frowns at them

or something like that. And they scrub landings even more often. Yeah, yeah, because they don't want to come. Yeah, why don't you with the hell? Yeah, the one this week had to be delayed like three times. Did it really? They glide in, right? Like they don't, they have no power coming in.

They glide in a mock 80. I mean, that's a pretty fast glide in coming out of orbit. But he also talked about the space program too, how it's... Russia has every single first in the space race, every single one except for landing on the moon first. That's it. Like if you look at everything, it's Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia everything it's Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia

US Russia Russia Russia and they did something really cool I remember you telling me in that they have like a at their space head space station headquarters Yep, they have like statues of all of I guess like the cosmonauts Yeah, that had those first yep, and they even made a statue for us. Yeah, New Armstrong's right in the middle of it. Oh, that's cool. Like you walk out of the recognition. Yeah. I hear that there's tons of Yuri Gugari and statues

at that same place, all over. Like he's like the big hero, the big one. Yeah, he was the guy who first went in orbit. Yes. Yeah. And the statue for Laikir, whatever the name of that dog was? I don that dog was I don't know. I don't know I don't think they make statues for dogs do I we have monkey statues right They have a spot Nick statue. What do you think spot Nick is right now?

It's got to be a museum. Yeah, yeah, some rich dude hasn't bought spot Nick. Maybe yeah, where would it be? The spot it didn't like burn up on a reentry or anything? Oh, maybe it did. That would make sense. I'm sure they retrieved Sputnik. Yeah, I don't think that would have survived. Unless they wanted to retrieve it to see what would happen. What did they do? What did Sputnik do?

It just went into space. It's just an object that went up, winning space, that's it. Yeah. Just looking it up. Is it important? There is a lot of text. A lot of mission. Well, that's good marketing on the part of the Americans. Like, I mean, if you think about, I definitely

consider America to be the space. Like we led the space race. Oh, totally. Yeah, like, where they guys, you know, you want to go to space, you come talk to us, not going on. Maybe we'll give you a ride if you want to go. But, you know, it's not the case, you know, it's a there was a whole other nation really plowing away at it, but not so much anymore, right? You get the feeling? I'd yeah, not at all. I read a wired article about Richard Gary when he was going up and dude, it looked like 1960s America in a dorm and he's pushing buttons, there's like those plastic buttons that are lit up. I guess mission control kind of still looks like that for

the US too, but it's just kind of scary To think about every all the how little technology is involved in getting these guys in space I read an article a while back that said that if we wanted to land on the moon again And we started that process today it would take like 15 to 20 years to get back there Really? Yeah, why why would it why would it take so long? Safety it's it's it's also people forget like technology's lost. It goes back to what we talked about. I don't know if we talked about this in the podcast, but a few months ago, I read this story about how the US was looking to, you know, perform maintenance on some of its nuclear missiles.

You know, these, like, a Merv Warheads, you know, these missiles that launch and then, they launch like a bunch of smaller nuclear missiles. But they couldn't figure out how to perform the maintenance because everyone who had designed the missiles had either died or retired and because of security clearances they weren't allowed to ever document anything. So they had to go back and then like figure out how this stuff worked again and it took them years to figure out how it worked even though we had already done it. So it might be a similar thing. That's crazy. Can you imagine working on an undocumented nuclear bomb? Yeah.

Oh, like several undocumented nuclear bombs that are all like in one giant bomb. That was the plot of Space Cowboys. You never saw that move. Was it really? Yeah, I was like the whole idea was there was a satellite in space that these guys put up forever ago and no one knew how to operate it so they had to get the old guys back up in the space to fix it. Oh, well, I never knew that was the... Yeah, this guy is kind of a funny movie.

It seemed like a movie that I don't want to watch is the Clint Eastwood and Tommy Lee Jones in it. Who else is in it? Richard Wolland? Uh, that sounds right and also the uh, Donald Sutherland's in it. And yeah, I don't know. You know what, I think I would watch Robert DuVal in anything. I agree with that. And Robert Donnie Jr. is approaching that for me

where it's just like, he's naturally joy to watch on screen. He never had a bad performance. It's crazy. Him and his Iron Man, like just in the trailer when he's clapping for himself at the press conference or that expo, it's just like nobody else could pull that off the way he's doing that, you know? Yeah.

I'm a sucker for that too. Whenever I go in a movie theater, my wife reads all those, you know, gossip magazines, like, less magazines and stuff, and that's sometimes I counter all the time. But the moment I go into a movie theater, two minutes in, I don't see Tom Cruise, I don't see anybody, it's just I'm in the movie, you know? I totally agree with that. I think Tom Cruise is like one of the weirdest, like, most, I don't know, like bizarrely unlikeable people in the world, but the second you put them in a mission

of possible movie, I don't give a fuck. I'm there. Yeah, totally like mission of possible three. Dude, don't give me started on that movie. Awesome. I love that film. It's so good. It's Ethan Hawke. Yeah. You know, Tom Cruise is gone. Absolutely right. What do you think that is? Do you think it's the movie theater? Do you think it's the actual actor? I think it's the actor. You really do? Yeah, I do. Man. Yeah, it's got to be the actor.

I think like if they're not very good at it, don't sell it and you don't see the character you just see the person. Yeah. Because you think that would be a huge deal like if you get known for a scandal that it's going to ruin that suspension of disbelief that people will no longer be able to see you as a character they're just going to see you as the weirdo who got caught in the middle of the night with a hooker you know or something like that. Not that's not Tom Cruise that's right. That's making generic story. That's a lot of you grand. You're grand any Murphy?

Allegedly. I'm just giving someone a ride home. We already covered that. Yeah I said that's it. You know it can happen anybody. Could happen to somebody you know this last weekend. We don't know. By the way, do you get seen the trailer to that new Tom Cruise movie?

I don't know what it's called. The killers? Is that what it's called? The killers? I was at the camera, do you guys see the trailer to that new Tom Cruise movie? I don't know what it's called. The killers? Is that what it's called the killers? I was at the camera and D.S. one. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I have seen it. Looks kind of awesome. Looks like it's interesting. It's Tom Cruise, man. Tom Cruise and Kami though. Yeah, interesting. Well, he did. He had his little role in the thunder. People really liked that too. Yeah, they did. Yeah, people like the fact guys dancing. That's all we want. That's in that movie. He's funny. He's funny. He's going to less, too. It's a great name. Less.

Alright, we should probably wrap this up so we can go get some food. Check out the surfboard burgers or whatever. Yeah, we'll post it in like, dump whatever it was. Alright, cool. Alright, thanks for listening. Bye. Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples?
