It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnet and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-octane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motormouth outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Twisted metal, streaming now now only on peacock Penis now it's pretty good when he did that um death by toast That sounds sounds delicious. Yeah. Yeah. I like to song more before I knew his name I haven't even looked at his profile. You know, I normally I give these people's profiles out even looking to see you know You don't even give me a award or anything. No, no, no, I guess I should that's a really good idea Death by toast you're the first one you got about 50 to retroactively reward Well, they better make another one. It's good enough to get in the plant I think a few of them may have gotten there were like whenever I remember to I'll give them one Yeah, I forget a lot you just don't judge me making shit up as you go. It's all you guys doing

Get we're down a person. It's just yeah Gus Jeff and Jack today. Hello. Where's the rest of the office, dude? I don't know everyone's been like Missing most of the day like someone will show up and then believe and then someone else will show up and leave I still burning for about 10 seconds and then he vanished. How did he look? He looked good. He looked like rest that he was wearing a pink shirt. No, it wasn't. Yeah, it was. I think they were all in meetings regarding our new building this morning He had a pink shirt tucked into jeans. I think I'll be a polo though. All right. I think it's time for an intervention That is wife dress. I'll it was a polo though. All right, I think it's time for an intervention. That was wife dress. I'll have to pull him aside after this podcast.

One cool thing that happened to me this morning, as I was walking into the office, the male guy was there. He had a big box, and he's like, oh, you have a key, obviously, you work here again, and then it's all signed for. We get it upstairs. It's a box full of alcohol. Before you go any further, what I'm getting from this story is if you hang out around the front of our building with a set of keys UPS or FedEx will just drop anything off pretty much. Yeah, so

Anyway inside the box. I'm gonna go hang out in front of the Apple store later Inside the box was some alcohol some dovel alcohol from a friend of ours. This is Krio K. R. E. O He he says What is it? To Jack and Jeff, this is a sample of real beer, not the dishwasher. Dishwater, you are used to, little smiley face. So thank you. I don't realize you guys drank dishwasher, that's gross. That's delicious. I think he's from Belgium, is that right? Yes, this is from Belgian shop. So you've got on my case for not giving people who submit a theme song my award

Have you given the person who sent you alcohol your award yet? I just walked in the building dude. Uh-huh. Is this username on there? You were here to open it earlier. I don't know I had to leave. Well, I don't know. I've got his full name here. I don't want to give his is real name out But Kari yo is what he's saying. Yeah, I'm gonna fall in the room. I'm gonna look at shit out of that I'm giving you shit because I'm looking at him. I was at him. Get him my award. All right. There we go. I give him my award That's right. So anyway, thank you very much. I appreciate he also said hopefully this will help the healing process of your recent theft So thank you sir. I appreciate you That was awesome and for the record when Gus and I went to Belgium and the Netherlands last year for an event

I didn't go. I'm sorry Bernie and I you guys look so much like Bernie and I went to Belgium and the Netherlands last year for an event From what I can remember of that event eat a lot of it involved do well. It's a really really good beer Yeah, but we got like a box too that has two beers and like a glass So that's very very cool. I will drink any alcohol that's it. I don't do it. There's no check I don't check there's no check I don't check if it's an open If alcohol arrives at the office I will drink first and ask questions later. It's just an amazing job That's my new phrase drink first ask questions

So the way to get you a roofie is obviously just to put it in any kind of liquor and you'll drink it No questions asked What I'm getting at is Krio was onto something sending us free booze. If game companies aren't gonna send us free video games, which seems to be the story of our fucking lives, as that's how we started Drone Gamers, at least we can continue to get the free booze.

There we go. So that's a good way to start off the morning. It's a great way to start off the morning. Drunk! So what's going on this week with games? Y'all didn't awo in the middle of the street on Monday Oh, yeah, we did the people thought it was green screened or fake oh really? Yeah, I'm a lot of them read and a lot of people also said wow you guys are in Texas. Yeah

And then a lot of other people said is that the capital and then a bunch of other people said no idiot that just looks like the capital That's actually the capital that city hall. Oh, internet we came into work on Monday uh... it was memorial day and they had the block on the street and road closed yeah which is the main thoroughfare through downtown yeah i i i found that by accident when i was coming in i come from uh... west towards our office in jeff comes east and i have to cross congress to get on to it and they had shut down congress all the way up to you t i had a hard time last year like I stood there at

the intersection of seven in congress for about five minutes waiting for a break in bicyclists so I could I could cross and get to the office. Yeah that happened to me last weekend in my neighborhood actually but so anyway we saw that the street was closed down for bicyclists and once the race was over people the street was so closed. And Jack and I went not to talk to a cop. We asked him if we could film in the middle of the street and he goes, I don't care, I don't care. I don't give him a camera. And so then we did it. And we actually finished as they were opening the road and the cars barreling down to us. Like literally,

I picked up the camera and tripod as a car was coming up the street at us. A car that was not slowing down. It was pretty awesome. It looked cool. Yeah, it did. It looked fake. Yeah, it's totally fake, totally green screen. Which now you should green screen it all the time. That's true. Yeah, that's good. I do. We have the technology. As far as what's going on in games this week, I don't know. We've been playing a lot of skate three. We've had stuff to do in that and Red Dead Redemption of course still wrapping up out on the wake. Um, if that if you brainstorms of new stuff we're gonna work on. Great idea is that as soon as this podcast is over i.e.

Let's wrap this guy up quick. I want to test some stuff out for some new videos I want to do. How about you guys? What do you got going on? I've been playing Red Dead Redemption and I just can't give into it man. I don't know if it's a problem with me not liking sandbox games or something But it's just fucking boring to me. Maybe it's that you're running around in territory that used to belong to your people Like I don't know if it's me in sandbox games like I kind of had a similar problem with Grand Theft Auto 4

I just got bored by the game right nothing really grabbed me But there are some sandbox games I liked like I like the saboteur. okay. Did you beat it? Yeah, I beat the Sabotura. Huh. Like it was enough to hold my attention throughout the entire game, but this one, like, like seven hours in. It was just, you know what it is. I know exactly why you like the Sabotura.

It's a good game, by the way. I like the two. I don't mean to sound like I'm standing in. Was it the boobs? No, well, that didn't hurt, but you like World War II. I do like World War II. And you were probably,

the World War II aspect of the game probably carried you through it by itself. That's true. I'm not a huge Western fan. I like to know Spaghetti Westerns. Good, well enough I guess, but as long as I've known you've been really big into World War Two. Interesting idea.

Yeah. Well, then that also, also when I picked up Red Dead Redemption, I don't think I met you in the last podcast. I couldn't find it at any store near my house, so I had to drive across Austin to a Best Buy on the other side of town that I saw had it in stock. So I went and bought it, drove all the way back across Austin home, back home, and when I got home I opened the box and it was fucking empty. I can't believe that. There was no dis in it.

And it was still shrink wrapped in everything. Did you convince him to pay the night? Yeah, so then it was already after 9 p.m. They were closed I toyed till the next day and I had to go back to the store and I walk into the store, you know, they have like the security guy at the front shop lifters I walk in and I'm like, hey, I need to you know return this. You know, it's what you beat the game already No, no, no, there's no game in there. He's like, oh man, that's fucked up So they took it to face value, huh huh? Yeah, they just swapped it out.

Nice. That's cool. But luckily, at the same time, what I was going to say is, I finally managed to find a copy of Tropico III at that best buy when I bought Red Dead Redemption. And I've really been enjoying Tropico III. Oh, yeah. So you like in it.

Yeah, yeah. I'm glad I bought Tropico III at the same time as Red Dead Redemption because Red Dead Redemption is so boring after 30 minutes. I normally turn it off and then put Tropical 3 in and play that for you. You're two or three hours. Probably the only person in the world who is right now choosing to play Tropical 3 of Red Division. It's so fun. It's a badge of honor for you, buddy.

You're an individual. There's only 50 bucks, too. What, Tropical? Yeah. You know, I told you there was DLC that just came out for Tropical. It was PC was PC only I always that yeah, yeah, I think they came out of the PC last year I think no, yeah game came out of the Xbox we couldn't find it anywhere so fucking weird Yeah, it was kind of like that 3d.game here. It was game we couldn't find that and then you weren't you looking for like a dynasty warrior's game Yeah, dynasty warriors strike force two or something like that. Yeah, I don't know so weird

Yeah game it you figure like games with you know just all right know. So weird. Yeah, game, it figured like games would, you know, just, all right, Tuesday, it's new game day, but no, no, don't show up. I would assume that if you were going to release a game, you would actually release it into store. That'd be the idea, right? Yeah. Yeah, we even looked for like 3D.game heroes and in tropical 3 when it came out, we looked at them like in game stops, like using the in store finder on their website And there were none with the nose like with an a hundred miles of Austin It's like have you have you pre ordered? No, we got a pre order frustrating Did you hear the story about the dude who spent six months applauding the murder of his rival encounter strike?

Yeah, we mentioned that on how we got it actually got it wrong too Yeah, he didn't actually kill the guy. He stabbed him like an infram his heart is what I read. Yeah, I read the guy lived I read somewhere later that the guy died in the hospital is that not true? Well, the story I read on Kataku said that he did not die I'm sorry and that link to the story on the telegraph dot code at UK Hmm said he lived I got most of really like counter strike or hated it. Here's only jail for two years for causing grievous bodily harm. Really?

Yeah. He spent six months plotting a crime that he could win to jail for two years for. Wow. Hey, I did something Monday night that's kind of surreal. Was it Monday or it might have been Sunday night? It was Sunday night. Before you jump into that, can I tell one story that matches Gus' story? Sure, go ahead.

Did you hear about the MMA fighter who ripped out his training partner's heart? Yes. Cut his chest open, pulled out his heart, his eyes, and his tongue, because he was on a mushroom-induced trip. He also cooked certain body parts, because he was convinced that the devil was in those body parts and you needed to get it out That's bizarre. What do you do if you're a cop and you walk into that scene like apparently the guys were also friends What kind of mushrooms were those? I think they were the best ones obviously button mushrooms From from the grocery store. Oh, yeah, the white ones. You normally put like pasta sauce and stuff right

I just I mean oh, guys, you know, I've never done mushrooms or anything in my life. But if I had at some point, I I certainly wouldn't have had that experience. I'm pretty sure. I wonder like if you know the guy was an MMA fighter, I wonder if he was doing like steroids or any other drugs at the same time. Yeah, I had some sort of like cocktail, right? Yeah, weird bad side effect. Or the dude could have just been fucking crazy. Worc side effect, true. All right, continue Jeff. Oh, okay, so Sunday, I had this kind of surreal experience.

As you know, as it's been much lauded via my wife's profile, we finished our chicken coop Sunday. Yay. It's a great applause. It was a big deal for us. And congratulations. We decided to cool off, because it was a thousand fucking degrees in Texas by going night swimming at Barton Springs, which is a local freshwater spring that's kind of in the heart of downtown. It's really cool.

It's like in the middle of a park and you can go swimming in it. For people that haven't been in Austin and you look up and you just see the city escape right in front of you. It's a really cool experience and they every night from 9 to 10 before they close They just have free swimming and anybody can just go in and swim for free in the dark And so we were planning to do that and I got a call from Bernie Who was in Vancouver at Can West which by the way he's not here to talk about it But he assured me that it was one of the best events we've ever had

Said that they had a fantastic time with everybody and that it's like in his top five favorite events Wow, that's great. Yeah, he and Matt had a blast apparently so thanks to all the camera guys for showing me good time But so anyway, I get this call from Bernie He goes hey Ed from the Bernic and ladies is in town for a show He was wondering what we were doing and I was like oh on my way to go swimming And pretty good. That's great. He'll go. I was like okay five minutes later I get a call from Ed and he's like picking up at this barbecue restaurant. I'm gonna go swimming and pretty good. So that's great, he'll go. I was like, okay, five minutes later, I got a call from Ed and he's like, pick me up at this barbecue restaurant.

I'm gonna go swimming with you. So I did and I got, it was very surreal. It was Lambert's, I mean, it was Lambert's. We talk about, yeah, yeah, Lambert's, gourmet barbecue, fantastic. They have a coffee-crusted brisket that smokes for like 20 hours. Jesus Christ.

It's unbelievable and they have these green chili grits. Oh my God, did you've got to try the green chili grits? Yeah, okay, seriously, but anyway back to that So I just showed up at this Lambert's and Ed and Jim who I had never had the pleasure meeting before Jim's the bass player. Yeah, we're there ready to go and so we get to go on this really weird swimming excursion with the Baronegad ladies and I to give you an idea of what real fame is like, it's dark. We're hanging out. By the way, Ed was addicted to the diving board. That guy must have died. 50 times. Flips, gainers, the whole deal. He was like, there were all these kids there. He was getting competitions with them to see who could dive the highest and the best.

I got his funny. But we're in there and in the water, in the dark, some dudes swims up to Jim and it's like, what's up, you're Jim from the Bernic Lades. I wonder what that must be like. That's gonna be crazy to have that level of fame where your neck is above the water and it's dark and some dude from 30 feet away can still spy you. I kinda recognize you. And you're also how many thousands of miles

are you away from home? Yeah, you're a different country. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Anyway, we went to Spider House and had some drinks and that was really fun. And those were very very very nice guys and it was really cool. I was it was a pleasant surprise Sounds awesome. Yeah, it was good. I would have called you but you're hermit. Yeah, I think I did call it actually on my wife did No, you didn't oh, you know, I told her not to because I told him not to bother because you would want to go I probably wouldn't have gone. I think I was probably working on setting up that computer and doing other shit here anyway

Yeah, where's my call dick? I was playing poker then, actually. Well, you were playing poker. You knew, all of it? Everyone knew you were playing poker jack. That was I was working off a hangover and playing poker. And then the next night you got to go to their concert and have a good time. Yeah. Yeah. I had left I'd left to some tickets. I had to date with your wife. It was nice. I trust you kept your hands to yourself. Sure. Wink. And then afterwards, guys, go backstage and just shake his hands.

Hey, thank you. That was cool. I mean, I briefly met him that morning when he came up to the office and say, hey, and then I was like, yeah, I had to represent. Griffin and I represented the office. Those dudes, I mean, I know Canadians in general are nice. nice like you never meet a Canadian and go what a dick you know every time you meet a Canadian like I was just a little bit too nice yeah I can make a wonder too oh but they're nice even for Canadians those are just some pleasant dudes yeah real real nice I guess having the adolation of you know

every woman in the world probably I. I keep chewing a good move. Well, we were talking about red versus blue and stuff like that. And Ed said he likes watching the shorts. And he said the last one, one of his favorite was the Gus one with the eyebrows vanishing. The stealing the beard, saving face. Saving face? Yeah.

So he was a big fan. I would have gone with the beard vanishing versus the eyebrows vanishing. I guess that works too. That last shot of you in the eyebrows is creepy So yeah, it's I keep waiting for you to fall asleep at your desk at work one day so I can recreate Then I had a blast filming that that most recent short that we did with with Macy Larius dude can I tell you I didn't get a chance to tell you this and now it's gonna seem disingenuous because we're doing it on a public forum

I think that was your best acting performance today. Thanks. I was pretty happy with it too. Yeah, no, I thought, like, I watched it in bed that night and as soon as my post had it. And I watched it three times. I really enjoyed it. I think you did a great job. It was, it was a, it was a team effort. It was collaborative. No. No, it was, it was great. It was, I think it was one of our smoothest shoots. It went very quickly. Yeah. a lot of first takes. Yeah, we did a lot of one takes.

That's awesome. We went through the whole script with different coverage. That's cool. And then you're trying to, and Griffin did a great job on Macy's mermaid outfit. Oh, yeah, she can pull that together for the last minute. Yeah, it looked good. Yeah, I thought it turned out really well.

I'm excited to see what's next. Let's applaud more of our projects. We'll put the record. I'm not applauding the project or the company, just you. Oh, OK, great. Yeah, great. Give a shit about anybody else. Thank you.

Your computer's going to work now. Hey, I see what you've got on your screen there, and I'm excited about it. Do you think it's true? Oh, yes. So I'll let this point. Yeah, I guess there's a rumor that Hulu is going to come to the Xbox 360 as a paid service, which

would be pretty awesome, as long as the price isn't too high. Dude, I would pay for that for sure. How much would you pay? Ten bucks a month. I'd pay five. Yeah. I watch more Hulu than anything else probably. Yeah, I don't watch too much Hulu, but it's just more side-effective. I don't like, I don't want to have to go through the trouble of plugging my laptop into my TV

and getting that all set up. I'd pay five bucks a month to circumvent that and go through the trouble of plugging my laptop into my TV and getting that all set up. I pay five books a month to circumvent that and go through the 360. The one thing that would be kind of annoying and this is going to sound, I'm entering into Gus' level laziness now. I find it all ready to be kind of annoying to have to go to see some of my stuff in the Zoom marketplace and then back out and see all this stuff in Netflix. If I have a third portal to go through then, then I'm... I can't believe you're that lazy, but you got mad at me for wanting a multi-disk back out and all this stuff in Netflix. If I have a third portal to go through then, then on...

I can't believe you're that lazy, but you got mad at me for wanting a multi-disk changer on my 360. Hey dude, I'm a hippo. That is way worse. What can I say? But, at least you can't remember what shit is and stuff. But no, I'd pay ten bucks a month for Hulu, especially I would think that if they started to pay its service, maybe the catalog would expand a little bit eventually. Very good. If there was an expanded catalog, I'd be inclined to pay a little more.

Like for instance, the other day I went to watch the season finale of Project Runway because I had forgotten to watch it and they had just removed it. Yeah, and it's not like they removed it because the new season was coming or anything. They just removed it. It was just gone. I wish they could stuff a little bit quicker too. Like I remember when I was in LA, I was watching Daily Show on my laptop, but I have to wait the next day to see the previous night's episode. I think they got rid of Daily Show on Hulu, didn't they? Did they?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they pulled it. Oh, sure. Oh, wow, back. You can watch it on DailyShow.com now. I mean, I'm sure there's a certain, you know, there's obviously, they have to wait a certain amount of time for the show to air everywhere. Like they have to wait till after it airs in Hawaii, for example, before they can, you know, even think about posting it.

But yeah, the way the catalog is now, I think I'd be willing to pay five bucks a month if they expanded it a bit. I could see paying 10. Well, it looks like Daily Show is still on there. Is it? I think so. She can you go to full upsets?

I remember reading an article about it. Of course, once again, we emphasize that this is just rumor and not actually. No, yeah, I'm assuming that. I'm assuming that. Conducture. The image though they have, those looks very, very real real whoever made that did a good job. Oh, yeah It's just a Photoshop, right? Yeah, I'm sure it is

Well, I guess we'll find out in like two weeks now here's episode from June 1st from I was I yesterday actually did you see that I guess 18 keys on rolling out new Data plans for the iPhone I have no idea where I sit in that. I guarantee you I use more than 200 megs a month, but I don't think I use 200 gigs or two gigs. Right, you can actually log in to the AT&T website. That's what I do when I read this and see your data usage for the past six months. Oh really? Oh yeah. Can you do it on your phone through the AT&T app? For the app, I think you could see your usage on individual bills, but like on the website, you can see an actual chart. Okay. usage on individual bills, but like on the website you can see an actual chart. Okay.

Like, yeah, me, I think over the past six months, I use on average about 400 megs a month. Okay. And I looked at my wife's plan, if she uses between 60 and 80 megs a month. So you would save potentially 25 bucks a month between the two of you? Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty.

Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. 20, 20, 15 for her and then five for you. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, so I think I'm told I'm gonna do it Yeah, absolutely, man So if you don't want to do I thought it was forced like no, you can stick with your current You can stick with your current unlimited plan the downside is a lot of people complaining about

Well, it's more so the death price of the downside is with that current if you stay with the current unlimited plan You cannot add tethering to that And they're rolling this these new plans out you cannot add tethering to that. And they're rolling this, these new plans out to along with tethering. Oh, so if you want, you can get, you know, you can, you can add tethering onto the two gig a month plan for 25 bucks a month, plus on another, another 20 for tethering. Tethering doesn't seem like something I would use. Wait, so you add 20 a month for tethering, but you don't get any more data? No. No. Well, that's just a rip off. And then if you want, I forget what the overage fee is,

if you get an extra gig a month is another 10 bucks. So AT&T is determined to piss off all of their customers, right? I, dude, I've read that 98% of the customers will save $15 a month. So I think they're, well, I mean, but they're system-themed. Yeah, it says says happy. This press release, it says that 65% of its customers use less than 200 megs a month and 98% use less than two gigs. Like even if I added tethering, you know, if I use 400 megs a month on my iPhone, as it is now, I still give me 1.6 gigs a month to use if I wanted to tether. And you still say the money. Right. Yeah. Well, no, because you have to add tethering on.

Yeah. But it's something I would only use in an emergency. Yeah, how many people are going to use tethering? It's going to be one of those things where if we're going to be in a situation where we need it, and we'll just call AT&T and get it added for one month and then we're done. But you're not going to use tethering on a regular basis. No, I don't imagine it would be a very good experience anyway. Yeah, so it sounds to me like AT&T's awesome and saving us all money. Yeah,

I'm fine with it. I don't have a problem. If anybody at AT&T would like to send me some free beer. I see also that they're doing something similar with the iPad. Instead of having 30 bucks a month unlimited, they're gonna have a 25-buck a month 2-gig plan for the 3G iPad. I could see hitting that on an iPad pretty quickly. You think so? We download movies and stuff potentially. Yeah, but you could be doing a lot of that over Wi-Fi. You could, yeah, that's true. So, we'll see. It's cool that finally a year later they're really tethering out. When does this happen? I think speculation is that it's starting June 7th, which is next Monday. Next Monday I'll be at a hockey game on the glass.

I'm excited about that. Oh yeah. Yeah, the Texas stars are local. Well, the Dallas stars farm team that plays here in Cedar Park just north of Austin made it to the finals of their league. And so the three home games I got tickets on the glass I paid for them. So I'll be beaten on the glass and drink it beer and yell at Canadians. How's it playing Canadians?

Actually no they're playing Hershey Pennsylvania's team. So why would you be yelling at Canadians? Because the majority of the players are Canadian. Oh. So. Well that makes a hell of a lot more sense. Yeah. So did you see that story this morning I guess about the new JJ Abrams produced TV show

coming out this fall? No. Is it remake of Aelius? No. Did you read that? No. They're talking about ABCs talking about doing an Aelius reboot. Really? They're doing the new series with a younger, not what Jennifer

Garner but a new young girl, and pulling out all that Rumbaldi shit. They blame that stuff on like bogging series down. And so they're going they're like Elias You've never seen Elias and I've watched the first episode that was terrible I've never watched it Elias is really good the first season in a half or so was really good and then it fucking falls apart It falls apart terribly and you think this can't get any worse and then by like season 4 it's like this is the worst thing ever

Yeah, well it's so I'd be I'd watch that I think if rebooted it and started over and kept it true to what what made it good originally. Yeah, well, maybe it'll happen then. What's this thing? Like you got going here. As long as they stay focused. Like the whole SD6 thing and that's now anyway. I guess the new the new series is called under covers and it's called or they say it's a Heart to Heart type spy series. Dude, Heart to Heart was one of my favorite show in the year. And you're gonna perk up at that. Oh man, that's exciting. A Heart to Heart spy series kind of thing. Yeah. Like scarecrow Mrs. King. So it'll be out Wednesdays at 8 p.m. or heart castle and Macormick or Ramington Steel or Moonlighting or or yes yes all of your favorite nash eastern exactly like all of those

simon and simon the eighties were great for that kind of thing did that's really exciting nine p.m. well that's what they only mention heart to heart in this article i don't think it's gonna be like any of those other ones well hard to heart and scared from this is King of the same show. So that sounds pretty cool.

Yeah, that sounds really cool. I'm looking forward to that. There's nobody attached to it yet, is there? There's some people I've never heard of. Boris Kajjo? I do. I love Boris Kajjo. And Gugu Mbatha Ra. Oh, she sucks. Or he sucks. Gugu Mbatha Ra?

Yeah. Did you hear Patrick Stewart got knighted? Did he really? Yeah. He got knighted by the queen and Buckingham Palace. So he's Sir Jean-Luc Picard. That's pretty awesome. Sir Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

I read somewhere the other day that Donald Glover, the guy from the mystery team and community. Community? Yeah. Donald Glover. Yeah, and you know, Derek Comedy has started an online petition to get a audition for Spider-Man for the reboot, to be a beautiful, Donald Ford Spider-Man. Alright. Brilliant move by that kid, I think.

I hope that works out for him. He's a funny guy. That's fucking funny. He, I don't really like that community show, but every time I do watch it, he's the funny person on it. So, yeah. I hope it gets a job. It's definitely not every chase. No. it, he's the funny person on it. Hmm. So, yeah. I hope it gets a job. It's definitely not every chase.

No, no, no, no. Now him and him and the character, Abed, the two of those guys together worked. They're a pretty good couple. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cool. They're friends on the show. You know, I saw.

I don't know why, uh, Cherry Chase made me think about this. But last night on Netflix streaming, I saw it. He had the Comedy Central Roaster Bob Saga, and I watched that. Was it edited for TV? Was it edited for TV? No, it was the Uncensored version. Oh really?

These are things, Uncensored are like 3.5 hours long. Well this one was Uncensored and they called it Uncut, but it was only 65 minutes. Yeah, I assume it was longer than the version that showed on TV But it still wasn't the full thing right right dude They're showing like a lot of a lot more stuff like that on Comedy Central late at night Like I cut like it starting at 1 a.m. On Monday They were showing still waiting the sequel to the movie waiting. Yeah, where they open up like the hooters next door Whatever and it was it was completely uncut. I mean like cursing everything like that, you know like camel toes and everything

Yeah, that's got me wondering that's's got me wondering about always sunny because you know, it's going to start on Comedy Central soon. Yeah, I just started this week. A tremendous amount of bad language in that show. Yeah. Like that's this, they say shit like every four seconds in that show. I mean, should you see if Comedy Central airs that stuff. I think it bleep it. It airs at nine, I think.

So it, yeah, airs at nine, nine central, at least, so 10 Eastern. I think at that point they can use Safe harbor. Yeah, yeah, it's like South Park has done it a few times and I think once you cross that nine o'clock timeline It is about time we loosen up those restrictions on There's ridiculous no boobs, but you can curse. I want speaking of restrictions. I got kind of pissed off on Sunday Uh-oh Why can't I buy booze on Sunday because you're in Texas? You can buy beer

off beer and wine after noon as long as I know. I'll call content. Why can't? Why is it liquor store closed on Sunday? And why can't I buy liquor after 9 p.m.? It's what's hard, dude. It's so stupid. Like, what do we have to do to get that change? Do I like, do I have to write my representative here? You're gonna have to wait 100 years probably before that gets changed. That's a Christian thing. I guarantee it's a religious thing and or a holdover from that kind of stuff. And I guarantee there's nobody lobbying for it. I know, that's what I started thinking. I bet there's absolutely no lobby. Like no one wants to be the dickhead that introduces that legislation, right?

Yeah. Because then they'll just get torn apart by the opposition. They have no one on their side. We can do the Tea Party, except it'd be like the booze party. Yeah, like what's the argument? We deserve to get drunk at more convenient time. Yeah, that's gonna be so easy to get apart We'll have him forbid you buy alcohol on the weekend, you know, that's dumb Besides anyway, I got I got really upset about it. You should be in church on Sunday anyway, right? I look look. We just showed up. Oh no. It's burning his pink shirt

Or you could guess you could just move to California where you can buy alcohol at a preschool at three in the morning if you want to. It's more of a salmon shirt, actually. And now he's got it. That is right. Thanks for joining us, Bernie. It's fun to show off that dapper shirt of his. Yeah. I just read this article the other day

on the popular science website that I guess Japan is planning to build a moon base by 2020 that's inhabited by autonomous robots. Sweet. So they're going to build a moon base by 2020 that's inhabited by autonomous robots. Sweet. So they're going to have this moon base that's filled with robots that are working without you know humans directing them to like mine rock and send it back on rockets aimed at earth. Dude that's a John Carpenter movie when you have it. It sounds like a horror movie. That's awesome. Somebody called Ridley Scott. What's a Bernie?

I walked in and the first thing I heard was autonomous robots. It's your kind of podcast. I like it. How you been doing? We've been talking about how busy you are with meetings and stuff all day. Yeah, it's been kind of crazy between production

and the new office. It's been kind of nutty. Can you talk about the new office? I'm sure people will be interested in hearing. Yeah, the new office might sue us Yeah, we're we got a building down south just south of here right now We're in the middle of downtown Austin and every time we want to shoot in our conference room We have to wait for the buses to go by so we're getting a little bit better studio for us to operate it

Luckily at the new office we just have wait for the ambulances to go by ambulance just to go by. Is all the flame retardant stuff on the walls? No? What is that stuff, foam? We call it flame challenge. We're trying to be more PC. No, we've been, I want to preface what I'm about to say with, I love the city of Austin and the people who work in the permitting office.

However, it's been kind of a fight when Austin is a very green town when you're trying to buy a building and move a business into it, which I think would be a good thing in this economy. Am I right in thinking that Jeff? I would think that certainly. I don't need a lot of papers, but the ones I read do say, do you say, do you want to be a pro business could use a little punch and here we are about trying to move into a building and the city of Austin wants to hold this up

because of a lack of a bike rack that's right they didn't want to hold stuff they actually did hold up yeah they did they pushed your closing off by a week because there wasn't a bike rack installed let Let's show them. Let's all ride our bikes. For a non-retail store or for a non-retail building, for like eight dudes who all refuse to ride bicycles. All work on computers. And it's August in Texas. I wouldn't ride a bike around my house in Texas in August.

But yeah, so we're just kind of dealing with all that stuff and we're doing a lot of what they call build out and you know we're just making it our space. It is a nice bike rack I will say. I thought. I should hope so. I'm glad we didn't have the pay for it. The previous owner of the building had the pay for it, so but we're dealing with a whole new set of things. So it's fun, but it just takes a lot of meetings and I get to wear a hard hat and hold up architectural plans and go, mm-hmm. That kind of thing, but it's fun. Hey, you missed this earlier in the podcast.

I'm just gonna go over it real fast to get you up to speed. Someone sent Jeff and Jack beer from Belgium. Yeah, I actually already saw it. It's the first thing I saw when I walked into this morning was the Vell gift set. Remember, it's in response we were talking about, I don't know why we were talking about European beer a couple weeks ago We might have been talking about that night where that lady kept feeding us all the different weird beers in Belper

Netherlands it's when you made fun of me for seeing beer Brayda yeah, that was she was the devil speaking of making fun of you for saying words I the room around the offices. There's a new word you can't say they were all very Yeah, that was she was the devil speaking of making fun of you for saying words I The room around the offices. There's a new word you can't say they were all very kinds of all Do you know what it is? What's oh was it gumball? Oh? He said it right. How much if you went home and practiced Well, you were saying before gumball. Oh

Sorry, gumball is not a word I use in everyday speaking. But he said gum. You know, it's a gum. Gum. That's what the part I was getting wrong, wasn't it? You said goomba. It was in the last episode of Everett Blue. Simmons has a line where he calls church gumbo, Macjones, which we tried to come up with

every possible insult slash euphemism for church being round that we could. And we got all the way down to Gumball McJones and Gus couldn't pronounce. He said Gumball. I think on HBO on Halo.com went to that org. Uh, Luis was said Gumball McJones is his favorite last favorite name for the spark of all time now. Oh really? Good. Make a shirt. You know, we'll make a shirt for one person person. Yeah, but if you get a pick one person to make a sure for it's actually him that's your guy. You know, they just celebrated their 11th 11th anniversary. Wow. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, that's really cool. They started and that obviously that means they started in 99. That must have been right when like the original Halo trailer was unveiled, right? It was right around that time, that was maybe 98. Now, I would assume so. The Bungie or the, excuse me, the Mac world Halo trailer, where Halo is still in MMO. I'm gonna say that was 99, right?

I think that was. I think it was 99. Yeah, and then it switched. You know, Nico told me a really interesting story at a can West, the fan event, I went to this last weekend up in Vancouver. He told me about a guy who ran a marathon map site that was a very, very popular site.

The way he was saying it was like on par with bungee.org, halo.bungee.org, big fan site for bungee and marathon. And at the day they announced they were moving halo from the Mac to Microsoft to the Xbox they closed on the site like instantaneously big huge fan site and really never returned That's a dude who's got chip on his shoulder man. Yeah, no, that would be that because I mean I'm sure he's gonna be wind of the announcement coming and all of a sudden it's like oh they made it not so okay turn off Now I'm gonna you're gonna be wind of the announcement coming and all of a sudden it's like oh they made it not so okay turn off Now I'm gonna go do something else I'm gonna start watching sign fell reruns. What would you do in 1999 sign fell reruns?

God, what would you do in 99? Maybe that great job like Getting rid of the white to K bug or something like that catch up on mad about you, I guess Campaign for Gore Hey, do you guys see that Al Gore and Tipper Gore are getting divorced? Yeah. Really? Yeah, they just announced it last like yesterday afternoon. I mean, she gets half of the internet. Yeah. That was actually pretty funny. I can't take credit for that. Oh, who said that? I was an infographic I saw. Had Tipper on one side Al on the other and the internet and the circle split.

Jack in the future just lie. Yeah, I made up that joke. You were doing okay for a second there. So why would they get divorced? Said they had grown apart over the years, and after a lot of thought and careful consideration, they decided it was better for both of them if they amicably split and moved on to focus on their own. You know, he's just running with that Nobel crowd now and keep up anymore.

Dude, Alan goes and gets some ass. Seriously. Seriously. No. Really? Yeah. Got an Academy Award. Was Vice President Nobel Prize? Come on.

Everybody loves that dude. I guess he's probably one of the most famous men in America on SNL every other week. Not lately. He's on this field. But he's political. So half the country hates him. That's true. A little more than half because he was not president.

Why would it be a little more than a little more than half hates him? Oh, I see you're saying because that's why he wasn't elected right. Right. Actually, that's not true. Yeah, it'd be not true. About 30 percent. A little more than half of the representatives to the electoral college will not But they might even like him because they might have liked him But the good and vote for him because they're doing their constitutional duty and voting for him But that ended up like he had like 50.1% of the vote. It was yeah, it was raised within there. Does that does that Erk you guys like that Essentially somebody won the popular vote, but that didn't win the presidency? No. That doesn't really bother me either. No.

I like the system we have in place. It's going to, it's, it's every once in a great while, something like that can happen, but you have to give it the bad. I mean, you, you can't set up the system then when, you know, something like that happens bitch about it. Yeah, you really can't. So, I mean, it's the system we have. Oh, contrair.

You can bitch about it non-stop. But it does, you know, we're in Texas. So Texas is kind of weird thing because we have a lot of big cities in Texas. We have three of the top 10 cities in the nation here in Texas. Four of the top 20. Largest, human. Yeah. Yeah.

As opposed to biggest? Yeah. Okay. Largest. We have three of the top 10 largest cities in the US by population. Yeah, as opposed to biggest. Yeah. Okay, largest. We have three of the top 10 largest cities in the US by population. And we're still like kind of one of those, I guess consider kind of a rural state. I mean, I mean, the way people consider Texas. Absolutely.

But we still have a lot of big cities that we have big city issues and things like that. So we kind of straddle that, you know, but the, I mean mean it kind of makes sense to me that the people who live in the middle of America have a really different experience than the people who live and say like LA and New York. Unfortunately people LA and New York are pretty centriced unto themselves and think that their experience is the total American experience, but at the same time more people do live there. So it does make sense to me. Yeah. Now, agreed. And ironically, those states that have the more electoral votes, I mean, those are the most of the states that voted for Gore like California, right?

And New York? Yeah. I know California did. I don't know who New York did. New York did. Not so much Texas. Not Texas, yeah. I have to say, I can't help but wonder,

and I hate to politicize something like this. I can't help but wonder and I hate to pull it aside something like this. I can't help but wonder What the response to this oil spill would be if it was off the coast of North Carolina and the Atlantic coast You know or along the Pacific coast and not along the Gulf coast. I think I know where you're going with that right It doesn't seem like it's not quite as Big of a deal because it's in the Gulf it would be into the world if it was off of Manhattan, right? It just seemed like it's not quite as big of a deal because it's in the Gulf. It would be into the world if it was off of Manhattan, right? Yeah. That would be it. It would be over. Like we'd have all electric cars the day after tomorrow.

Or the Pacific Northwest, I would say, too. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, the big major disasters have been Alaska and now Mississippi's coastline, where Louisiana's coastline. Yeah, it's just now hitting Mississippi and it's getting to Florida now, too, isn't it? Yeah, it's like nine miles off the shore. We've got a good track record lately of letting the Gulf Coast burn in flames. Between Katrina and this. Yeah, really. They've had a bad run. I grew up in the Gulf Coast. I guess we all did here essentially. Did you grow in Houston? I grew in Houston. Yeah. Yeah, I grew up in a in Mobile. Guys, we're doing a Houston's a coastal city, but it really is.

Yeah. Did you see the thing that it was on Rachel Maddow, where there was an accident almost identical to this that happened like 30 years ago, and she was comparing how what they did then to what they do now, what they're doing now, and it's literally identical. It's like, okay, we're going to try this thing when we shoot junk into it to try to stop it. Is it, oh, we're doing this as well. Okay, we're going to put a barrel on top of it and try to cap it is like oh they did that then too.

It's back and forth and ultimately the solution was they had to have reserve wells which just take like three or four months to get up and running and that's what they finally stopped it with. But this was 200 feet of water as opposed to 5,000 feet of water. 200 feet of water? Yeah and even then it took months and months to get it to stop. 200 feet. I love it. just send some dudes down there. And fuck this with me. I can sell that problem. This was the...

Send some dudes down with like, down and jugs to collect it. I would say this was like 71, I forget exactly, but yeah. It was interesting that it was like just literally like, you know, shot for a shot like, okay, this is what they did then, this is what they're doing now. It's fun. It's fun when this kind of stuff happens because you start to get like all kinds of alternative theories and conspiracy theories. I read an article the other day from a dude that said that this happens fairly regularly in the Middle East and they just don't publicize it and they're very good at cleaning it up.

Hmm. So why don't we hire some of those people? Exactly. We got know. I don't know. We got Kevin Koster, right? Isn't he supposed to be taking care of it? You would think so. Kevin Bacon, actually. You know, it seems like could solve that problem. Like, who do you think in America, one dude, if you had to pick him, could solve that problem? Aquaman. Kevin Koster.

You think Kevin Koster could solve the problem? They could solve the problem. James Cameron. James, it's exactly who I was thinking of. He's actually going in working with him now. I'm not kidding. I was just saying Sean Penn. I was just saying James Cameron could solve this problem. It's underwater. It's a mile deep and it takes creative thinking.

It'd be awesome. We see and a huge budget. Woody's in Leonardo DiCaprio down there and figured out. So you think like between the abyss and Titanic filming that he's like his all set. Get it pretty much. We got that shut down. Well, he did that I'm act stuff between Titanic and Avatar Yeah, it goes to the abyss. Well, I hear a algorithm free time on his hands now. Yeah, no, he doesn't have How old is Al Gore? 62 really 62 wow

You still in the mix at 62 you think he is. Yeah, he's super famous No, I'm saying like as is like at 62 is he on the prowl. He's got to be dude. He's super famous You didn't stop working when you turn 62. Come on check understand the question question. I'm answering it with you You know who else is super famous? You have wrinkles is super famous. Yeah, but it gets laid more than me Hugh Hanrickels is super famous. Yeah, but he's laid more than me. Liza Menelli is super famous. I thought she's not the same every day. So the other day I was fucking Betty White.

She's got like huge resurgence, hasn't she? Yeah, she's doing well. Man, good for her. How awesome would it be to be an old person and be like, loved by, you know, Facebook. Yeah, however old she is. She's 88 and a half. So has anyone seen McGroober in the theater? I want to. I want to. It's a shame. I thought it looked good. I don't know. Didn't you see it already Jack? No, I haven't seen it yet. I saw it get him to the Greek already. Matt said something about that movie.

He said that movie seemed to have the same problem that Hot Tub Time Machine did. Is that they marketed the hell out of it too soon. So that by the time the movie came out, you weren't even sure if it had been out. Yeah, that's a pretty good call. And you were kind of tired of seeing stuff about it. Hot Tub Time Machine's actually made money though.

Matt also said though, as dismaly as McGurber did in domestic theory, what is it up to? A Gruber is currently at $7.6 million. As bad as they did, they made money on day one because they made enough off of foreign distribution rights to cover the production. You're that movie only cost $10 million to make. Yeah, so they were fine out of the gate. Val Kilmer is in there, Ryan Flippi.

Philippi? That's the one Hollywood budget that I've seen like in the last five or six years that actually does make sense to me. That movie should cost 10 million to make. Yeah, absolutely. See you've grown up. See you know that Adam Sandler, Kevin James, we just looked at it up.

See if he's gonna find the budget on that. I bet that movie had a $75 million. Yeah, I was just right around 70. You're probably right. Like even the hangover, which was like this cult hit, that was like a 40 50 million dollar movie Or stuff like that why great question why my Tyson fees no No, imagine shooting in Vegas. It's gotta be expensive grown-ups does not have a budget

What about look at look up a hangover see if it has a production budget on there It's probably expensive shooting Vegas, but my Tyson I just read an article about how broke he is and he'll do anything for money right now I'm sure he wasn't kidding. I don't think Mike Tyson's done. He's on a movie star. He's a boxer, it's where he makes his money. Hangover's budget was $35 million. $35 million. That's a lot.

Where did that money go? I guess I want to add home. Tigers, Tiger rental. What's that baby? I made a lot of people's career. They're like that Chinese guy that's in it, that's on community there. Dr. Ken.

Guys, funny as hell. He's been in a lot of Judd Abtow stuff and he was actually a stand up comedian for a while. I mean Dr. Ken and I, I really, I'm on the fence about him. Anytime. I didn't like him in role models. He had a great bit in the last episode of Community the finale. I didn't like him in role models either.

Yeah. Jeff, worldwide, I'm looking at it right here. What do you think the hangover finished at? This is before home video. What do you think it finished at? And it made what? Two something in the 270, two in the theaters or something? Domestic?

That's good. You got to get a memory. Yeah, 277. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess worldwide that movie made about 600 million. You are wrong and you made my point less valid. It didn't. It made 467 made 467 million almost half a billion Wow, that's crazy money. Wow. Wow. That is a crazy amount of money. Would you make another movie if you made a move for 35 million and then it makes half a billion dollars

Well, they are aren't they? Well, I mean, I'm just in general. I'd be like we would have a billion dollars. Yeah Wasn't the room that we that's a. We didn't make half a million dollars. Studio made $100. No, no, no, no, it's how that works. We made three or four million dollars. Yeah, isn't the sequel going to be at Helm's getting married to what's your name? Heather Graham. I think that was the plot of it. You would do imagine that the sequel to the hangover would do anywhere near what hangover. Yes, I bet it would. I bet the sequel to the hangover beats the hangover. I bet people love that I mean granted Don't get me wrong. I did not like the film. I didn't think it was funny at all

There were no jokes in the movie. I didn't enjoy it. I was confused Okay, we get the point we've talked about this to death But I recognize that everybody else outside that movie loved it and people saw it two and three times and every single person That's all the first one probably see the second one. I would imagine yeah I feel like it's kind of movie that that grew like I had kind of a good word of mouth and I'm sure it'll it'll earn tons of money. That's cool and that happens. The coolest move I've ever studied that was something about Mary when it opened at number eight and

climbed to number one over like six weeks. Yeah, that's a good call. That was a good movie. That's a rare when a movie climbs to number one. Yeah, that was a nuts. But my groomers doing so poorly that date night in its eighth week, which is Tina Fey and Steve Carroll, is making more than my grubber is now in my grubbers in its second week. Speaking of that and speaking of marketing, I saw almost no marketing for that movie date night. It was not on my radar at all. I didn't hear anybody talk about it. I didn't see any reviews for it. I didn't see it talked about on the internet, no banner ads, nothing. Movie very quietly is up to like $95 million.

I know all this. I checked the stuff out every, every couple days. Actually, I saw a lot of day and night ads on like Daily Show in the comments under all the time. How much did the day that I made? It's made 94 million tons. You got right. And it cost 55 to make.

Yeah. What did that movie cost? 55 million. I guess Steve Corolla, a huge fucking star now. You see? Yeah. How much did he make? He makes like 55 million? I guess Steve Corolla a huge fucking star now. You see? Yeah, how much do you think he makes? He makes like 20 million probably I could see that I bet he makes 10 million for that movie Mark Walberg is in there too And I bet Tina Fey gets about five million Mark Walberg Yeah

Marky mark. He's got to pay for those Was it the underwear he used to wear? Calvin Klein's What is it was the last big Mark Wahlberg movie the part of yeah, I would consider that I know he was in that I'm not channeling the trees hate is happening. God. That was so bad. I said I said good though Okay, you said less big I said you know what you said the last largest yeah Happening to be a big movie either. Would it be that perfect storm movie?

Departed was part of his big. Yeah, but he's barely in it Happening to be a big movie either would it be that perfect storm movie Departed was big. Yeah, but he's barely in it. Yeah, I wouldn't he's amazing It's the role of his career probably we probably should have gotten an Oscar. He probably should have him and I like ball Yeah, him and I like ball we need to have a show together. They were yeah, they were a great pairing in that fucking movie It's a part made for him though. Yeah smart talking cop and Boston. Yeah So let's be part made for him though. Yeah smart talking cop in Boston. Yeah So that's a mother for me. No, it's his line in that he says how's your mother? She's time for fucking my father. How's yours? That must be you think that's what Annie Samberg grabbed on to Some of it now. I'm gonna talk to a goat. Hey goat. That's such a bizarre thing to do for a sketch and people immediately latch onto it and love it.

And it's so funny too because you're like, we need a new somebody who does an impression and Andy Sanvers like, you know he's like, I can do Mark Walbrook and they're like, oh, say a funny Mark Walbrook line. Ah, let's invent one. That was a late sketch too, sketch to right what we should also probably Fill people into the TV there's a sketch in December did on turn alive called mark wallberg talks to animals And it's that's that's the loans great just doing an impression of Mark Wolberg talking to various barnyard animals Who's on?

Yeah, inexplicably funny and then the next week they had Mark Walberg on the show confront him about and Destroy yeah, and then Mark Walbury completely Hit a movie coming out. So you like got on there and they had this horrible it almost felt like one of those banter Like pre-scripted banter that you see it an award ceremony. Yeah. When they take the mic. Yeah, was that level of bad? Yeah, that was not good. That was not good.

That was not good. Why is Andy Sandberg in like 20 billion movies? Like, why is it he the highest paid? Because of hot rod. Because builder. He's a hot leader stole all his gigs. That's only room for one SNL guy in every film that's made. Yeah, what is with Bill Hater, right?

I have no idea. That dude made a deal with the devil or something Because he he just seemed he gets five minutes and every comedy that comes out I saw him in the night of the museum too. Wow. That was a hard movie to watch. It looked bad It's a kid's movie my kid loved it. So that's why I'm there for it's a shame too because I actually kind of like the first one Yeah, the second one looked really rough. How much was Jonah Hill in the second one? No, not much at all. Okay. I he was in that trailer where he grabbed the wall and they flashlight from whatever. That's pretty much the scene. Okay. Yeah with Ben Stiller. Yeah, that's pretty much the scene that he's in. Was that the funniest scene in the movie?

I can't really honestly, I can't remember much. I just got Prince of Persia at this van event too and I can't tell you anything about that move. Was Amy Adams cute at least? She was immediately air-heart I think. You know I really liked Amy Adams a lot. I liked her in the first few movies she was in and then she just kind of fell off for me like I don't see her in very much stuff anymore that she really stands out in. Yeah I only think of two movies that I saw where she stood out. Sunshine Cleaning and Shannon.

And Shannon was good. No she was in that movie that I that kind of broke her out or she was the Mercats. What was that movie she was in? It was an independent film. And man, she was frigging amazing in that. Somebody looked at her, Amy Adams. I don't know. I don't know if you hear the name of it. Was she in Julia and Julia? Was that somebody else? She was. She was. Yeah. But she's good and chanted too. That's a good story. Enchanted. Yeah.

And you know, what do you think about Disney's got a Sorcerer's or Prennest coming out? I saw a trailer for that. It looks interesting. Like a new Sorcerer's or Prennest? It's a live action with Nicholas Cage as a Sorcerer and the kid from a tropic thunder as his apprentice. You haven't seen this commercial?

Yeah, I haven't seen this commercial. It's really weird. No apprentice you haven't seen this commercial? it's really weird no I haven't seen this I had no idea what I was looking at good or bad really? yeah I don't know I think bad

I don't know it could be like nickcage crazy yeah as soon as you said like nickcage plays the sorcerer it makes me think like he's the insid that's a nickcage vehicle that he would do well at I don't know anyway yeah it's that J.B. Richell guy who never really J. Bushnell Bushnell

yeah okay yeah I think it's pumpkin was the movie I was talking about she's great in that she was awesome and catch me if you can she was the that's right that was she's the bank color of the nurse she was the nurse with the braces, I forgot wow that was her huh so good. It was probably all genuine reaction because you do in a love scene with Leonardo the cafe And who wouldn't go crazy for that? Wow Sounds a good movie Yeah, it's it's it's easy to watch the whole thing, you know like it's you sit down and say all right It's great. Yeah, right cameeraman moved about eight years ago.

Speedwitch, where the hell's Tom Hanks? I haven't seen Tom Hanks movie in like four years. I feel like he did catch me if you can. No, he did the the Dan Brown movies. Never seen any of those. No, he's no interest in those. He's waiting for the first episode of the new Conan show. He did that next. He did that. Airport movie where he was stuck in the airport. The terminal. I was also quite a few years ago A couple years ago

Yeah, he was in that the second damn Ramavie, Angels and demons last year And that was actually okay, I liked it It's weird, how does a guy go from being literally in every movie it seems like? To... then you don't see him for a few years He just do it, they just stop, like, we'll smith the great example You gotta take a break, right? And maintain your sanity Do you? I mean, it's... your sanity do you I mean it's there

there actors and movies and it's difficult work we know but it's like four months out of the year when we were at the Alamo event Robert Johnny Jr said he worked on Iron Man 2 for 72 days that's how long he worked on that movie those are long days though they are long days I'll give you that 16 18 our days but they are 72 long days yeah I'll give you that. 16 or 18 our days, but they are 72 long days. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of other days you can make just as long doing nothing. But then, but then again, he rolled off of Ironman 2 and immediately went to Sherlock Holmes. No, two. Is that the way that worked? Yeah, I read about it. He was, he was on Stern. He was talking about how difficult it was for him to like change body weight between the two movies. He barely, like he barely made it. Robert Donney, Jr. and I have something in common now. I feel you brother. No. Tom Hanks, he was doing the Pacific, right?

Right. Did they H.V.O. mini series? Is he? Is he? Is he? No, I think he produced it or directed it. Has anybody seen it? No, not a H.V.O. I've heard some kind of negative things about it. Oh really? Yeah. That's too bad. Vanderbred was really good. Here's the executive producer on it. He was also the narrator. What is the negative thing you heard about it? He's got a great voice. Just that it was not nearly as good as Vander-of-brothers. That's a high high bar. Yeah. Band-of-brothers. I made a journal entry recently like what my favorite TV series of

all-time were. I didn't even count some like band-of-brothers because I thought that was that doesn't mean count because it's a mini series. That's like a super movie. It is. It is a super movie. I cried in every episode of band-of- of brothers. That thing was awesome Dude, would they do just testimonials from those veterans? Your heart out there. Maybe cry right now Started oh, he's in toy story three. That's what he's doing. That's coming out. Yeah, that's good call Yeah, I'm reading the IMDB once again. No, you know how long that takes like two or three days Yeah, no, it doesn't take long but but it's those gonna be huge. Like Kathleen was telling us when we were in LA a long time ago

she was working on Curious George and they had done a rewrite I remember and Will Ferrell had to come in and re-record all of his lines for the movie and I we were talking to her about it. I don't know if you remember this and I asked her how long it takes to record the audio for a two-hour or a 90-minute animated piece. As she said, Will Ferrell recorded for two days, I think. Yeah, two to three days, and I was it, and then he was done with a movie. Well, exactly, why set two to three days?

Yeah, for a toy story three. And then it's like $200 million. Two to three days. Yeah, I wonder, do they get like normal salaries for doing that? I don't know. We know any Murphy made so much money because Shrek did well.

And he gets it just for playing that donkey. He's got a piece of Shrek, though, too, right? Yeah, that's what I was saying. We're because Shrek did well. Yeah, and he gets it just for playing that donkey. He's got a piece of Shrek though, too Right. Yeah, so Sam doing for doing Shrek He got he owned I think the estimates were he owned somewhere between 20 and 30% of the movie man That's fucking crazy. Yeah They go back to when they first started, but then Shrek became a juggernaut franchise. Yeah Shrek floor is not doing right well though Comparatively comparatively, but it's still mean, it's still like a ton of money. It's made out of about $144 million. I'm gonna guess $144 million so far.

I think if you make an animated kid's thing... 150. It's gonna make a ton of money. I was close. What did you say how much it cost to make? 165. Wow. There you go.

It's said. 165 to make an animated movie. How much has it made Worldwide? I bet it's made more international than the US. No, no, not nearly. Worldwide about 208. Remember in a water world cost $200 million and everyone said, oh my god This is terrible. Why would a movie ever cost that amount of money? And now it seems like every summer blockbuster is 300 400 million. It's only two cost 80 million dollars and everybody said that a movie can't make 80 million dollars Hey guys remember when Avatar was the biggest bomb of all time because it cost 500 million?

Nobody talks about the budget of Avatar anymore. That's a good point. I don't think anyone can figure out what the real budget is. It's like so tied into, you know, personal expenses and who knows like, what do you count like, how much research went into it and developing technology? So I just take them a decade to get to take all that. Because it doesn't matter. Because it doesn't even matter. So I took them took them a decade because it doesn't matter. Because it's like it doesn't even matter. Yeah. You know, it's like, well, doesn't matter because it made money. Right.

If it bombed, it would have mattered a whole lot more. That movie has almost made two billion dollars in the foreign market alone. Dude, if you don't want to market alone, well, what movie? Avatar. It made how much? It's made almost two billion overseas. So what's it made worldwide? It's like, it's made almost two billion overseas so once it made worldwide it's like it's like Almost three now. Yeah, domestically. It's made 750 million so worldwide. It's a 2.7 billion dollars. God damn, dude That is that is crazy

That's pretty crazy if you're James Cameron Can you make another movie after that? I mean, I know everybody said that after Titanic. Like, what could you possibly do after Titanic? After a movie makes $600 million? Make a documentary about the oil spill on the Gulf. Yeah, I guess. God damn. Or just maybe his move is to wait like 10 years between films so ticket prices are so high,

it's that much easier. Yes, yes. Apparently, Avatar is still in 84 theaters, and made $144,000 this past weekend. Good lord. It's not gonna end up in the theaters nearly as long as Titanic. No. If I'm James Cameron, fuck y'all. That's basically it. It's over.

I'm not making any more goddamn movies. I just do whatever. Make my own movies, show them to myself. You make your own fucking studio. Crazy thing about James Cameron, that dude's a fucking truck driver And when he was like 30 years old decided he wanted to make movies We fucking rented some books from the library and decided to be a director Yeah, he read he would photocopy books about filmmaking and that's how he did it. Yeah, yeah, Cormin, right? So how did he so how did he get his gig doing with terminators first movie? No his movie

Pronat to he works with Roger Cormin on some of those, you know, Cormin would put out like 20 movies a year and he worked on a few of those and eventually made it up to like assistant assistant, I could, uh, uh, director of photography or something like that. I don't know what it was, but then he was given Pronat 2 to work on and made that and then what, what, what was that for that Terminator? I feel like I, uh, um, was Terminator right at, I don't think so, I feel like there was something else in there.

I also feel like I owe it to James Cameron to see Piranha 2. What if that movie's awesome? Maybe, have they shown that at the Draft House? I don't know. There's a new Piranha movie coming out. Piranha 3D, yeah. Piranha 3D. You know they filmed Piranha in San Marcos.

Yeah, they did. Yeah. I have a friend who was the lead actress in piranha. Oh really played the little girl Suzy Grogan. Do you like good school? Third school with her. Yeah, she was much older than me. Yeah piranha part two Proceeded the Terminator. However, according to IMDB. He directed Xeno Genesis before piranha to What is that and that word he can pronounce? Xeno Genesis that and that word he wrote bad karma and this writing groupie and empires of the he was a producer and hell comes to frog down

okay i'm going to frog down and hell's coming with me you know what came out you know what came out Jeff that you and I should want to see what's again we don't even know it's out in theaters and they're not marketing it and I haven't seen it new Georgia Merrill dead survival of the dead right it's out. Is it really it's out in theaters I saw it listed in a movie theater up north what the fuck what the fuck man? Why don't they market Georgia Merrill zombie movies? That's that's really depressing. Are you sure I was just find out by luck? It might be that last but wasn't the last one like super bizarre and like all shot survive survival of the dead and I think you shut your mouth. That's your

mario. What's this one library of the dead survival survival of the dead on vacation cemetery of the dead blockbuster of the dead so they moved on to like random stuff from like time of day of the dead to like there's this island of the dead I think right? Yeah, that's what this one is about. It's about island Okay, and it's people who are surviving the apocalypse by being very stringent as to what they do But islands a cool kind of environment because you have zombies walking out of the water and stuff That George Merrill must be a bitter fucking dude. I would be better if I was your mario. I would too

I really would be. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Because people just kind of like, when making up, if I said to you, make up a monster, make up a monster that really nobody's seen before and give it its own set of rules and have it make sense to where people understand it right away, that is not an easy thing.

Like a lot of the major stuff has been taken. And he, you know, granted there were ghouls and, you know, what are they, whites, is that what they are in Dungeons & Dragons. And there were things like that. There were some voodoo zombie stuff, but he really came up with a specific thing with the brain stuff and getting shot in the head and the whole idea of the zombie apocalypse. That is his thing. Everybody just makes those movies now. Like, it makes tons the whole idea of the zombie apocalypse, that is his thing. Yep. And everybody just makes those movies now.

Like, I make tons of money off of it. Yeah, it's like if we all just made light-sorted, you know, star warriors, you know, movies, just because their star wars was popular. I would love to see, and this would be pretty hard to do, but maybe somebody who listens to the podcast is bored enough to try it. How much money every other zombie movie

has grossed all together? Every non-George Merro zombie movie. And they all credit them. They all say like, they all say, and of course George Romero, who basically invented this thing that we're all doing. Even Max Brooks is doing that. I get angry at you that World War Z, they make that new movie. That will make more money that all the other zombie movies come out. That's a $200 million movie right there. Budget? No. Well, maybe I don't know, but it'll make $200 million. It'll make $500 million. You think so? I don't know. If they make the movie that's in that book, that's a $500 million. I don't think they can't make the movie that's in that book.

No, they can't. But you can make a portion of it. I'll tell you what, too. It's probably a trilogy. If the first movie does well, you can do the trilogy. It needs to be an HBO miniseries. It needs to be an HBO miniseries. That would be the perfect way to do that. To make that movie right you would need to build another planet. So you're saying George you don't have that planet. You're saying James Avatar. James Avatar. James Cameron is attached. Yeah I'm man if James Cameron would do, if I say James Cameron said I'm doing a horror movie next. That would be great. That's pretty cool right? Yeah. What do you guys do next? Like what could he possibly do next? He's making a part to I think You should do a cop buddy comedy

He should make iMacs movies documentaries about whatever's called Pandora Just that like take it seriously like is like a Not your graph. I'm not special about Pandora. Yeah. Oh, he did that Trying to oh yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying Like that like the BBC life? I have my pressure down, bro. Do the voice over for it? It's perfect.

I would pay to watch it. It's our idea. It's our idea. Dibs. Dibs. Alright, we should probably wrap this up. We should do it in credit, and the credit saying, and of course thanks to James Dibs. For creating this world that we all stomped around in.

Is there anything else we want to plug before we head up? I feel like it was barely here. Oh, we didn't talk about the giant sinkhole. Oh, yeah. Into the world. The crater. Giant sinkhole in Central America. Brazil, right? No one was killed. I think it was Honduras. Wasn't it? Guatemala. I don't know. It was Honduras. In addition to the sinkhole, there was also two volcanoes that erupted in South America. There's also one Ecuador and Guatemala. There's one underwater in the Pacific by Sipan. Really? Yeah, an underwater volcano has started bubbling and causing,

rumbling like it's gonna erupt. Yay. Dude, this world is gonna end. This sucks. Well, you know, with all these volcanoes just raining and we're going off, it does seem like, and I'm sure someone will tell me in the comments of this that this happens all the time,

and we don't pay attention to it. But it does seem like there's more volcanoes, am I crazy? It seems like there's a lot of volcanic action this year. It does, for sure. And we do have a major volcano in the middle of the US Nobody talks about that, but we do we have a huge super volcano It's like the it's the biggest volcano in the world isn't it? I think it's one of the four biggest like there's four Classified is super volcanoes. What are you talking about look of super volcano? Back here so not to do all these retractions next time we have a podcast.

But Yosemite National Park is a massive, massive volcano. That if it erupted, it would basically just split the US in half. So what you're saying is, which half will we be? We might die. We'd be on the lava half. We're in the Gulf Coast, so we wouldn't. Nothing would matter. If Roland and Mercer listen to this podcast, I bet in six months that movie will be out.

No, in 2012, the volcano erupts. Oh, I guess that's right. Yeah, it's right. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, that's good, Cole. So, where are the super volcanoes? Uh, let's see. There's six known super volcanoes.

Yellowstone, Long Valley, Viscaldera, L Tobla, North Sumatra, Tapu, volcano, and Iroh, Caldera. Long Valley. So, Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, United States, United States, United States. There's something they're all spread out. There's Long Valley. There's three in the U.S. In my pants.

Where are the three? It's Eastern California. Yeah. Yellowstone Long Valley and Viastone Caldera are all in the US in my pants. Where are the three? It's Eastern California. Yeah, the Yellowstone Long Valley and Vias Caldera are all in the US You know what if I'm just looking at this from a top level view if all those super volcanoes have been placed in all those different parts of the globe It seems like some kind of plan in place to like an eject button. Yeah, yeah Right it's like okay. She doesn't work out. We can fall back to the like ignite all the super Volcanoes and just start it's like okay shit doesn't work out when you fall back to the like ignite all the super walking I just start it's like the halo rings Do you think of every one of those volcanoes erupted like all six erupted at once if anything on the earth would live?

I think if one erupted we might have trouble Yeah, you should read the road you should read that book the road the corn McMurthy book You should definitely read it. Yeah, that seems so depressing. They don't say what the event is that kind of caused the apocalypse, but it's just like if the sun was cut off from ash and all that, what would happen to the earth? It's like nothing would grow. You couldn't do anything. You would just have the consumables that were available to you and over time those would just go away.

And you're not going to live it. You're not, it's 10,000 years or how long does that stuff stay in the, this, this is like a nuclear winter or a volcanic, like a killer meteor kind of a thing. How long would that stay? It's years. I mean, when the Krakatoa volcano erupted into the news, you know, back in the 1800s, I think, you know, that was not nearly as big and that, you know, affected the Earth for like three or four years. I watched a story on Discovery back on the 1800s, I think that was not nearly as big and that affected the Earth for like three or four years.

I watched a story on Discovery back when I had cable. There was a Supervolcano that blew up like 80 million years ago. It was, it's what ended the age before dinosaurs, the dinosaur age, and it killed 98% of all life on Earth they said. That's insane. Yeah, and it obscured the sun for like five years or something. I got to think people would all go. You know what I mean?

But they're talking about it's like microbes and yeah, no, yeah, right? Yeah People working out you and shit to us people who work at the permitting office Yeah, I guess with the last time that an eruption occurred at Lake Tobuk, which was 75,000 years ago, it caused a millennial I-Sage, it lasted for about a thousand years, and killed 60 to 75% of the human population at the time. But we would still have a bike rack. You know, I'm considering you're really sad thinking about, we could all be wiped out tomorrow and the bike rack would still be there.

I gotta tear that bike rack out. I'm just gonna be positive we can. Alright, we'll have fair. Let's get out of here so we can tear out that bike crack out. It's gonna be possibly Ken. All right, we'll love fair. Let's get on here so we can tear out that bike crack. All right, let's do it. All right, thanks a lot. Bye. I had a really nice time, guys.
