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.
If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnet, and Thomas Hayden Church.
Twisted metal, streaming now, only on Pika. Our Rooster Teeth, who art on the Internet,
followed by a website that tubes be drained that will remain on the webs as well as IRL.
Give us this day our daily bandwidth and
forgive us our trolling as we forgive those who troll against us and leave us
not to fail but deliver us from time warps. Amen. Hey everyone welcome to the
podcast. Sacrillicious. You know I I wasn't a religious man until about 45
seconds ago.
I wasn't sure if I was going to use that theme or not until we got to the forgiveness of our trolling,
since we forgive those who troll against us.
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
That's pretty good. That's close.
Clever young man, who was that?
That was X-man, AXE-M-An.
Hey, you know what, Gus?
What's up?
I was reading yesterday about the Adam Corolla podcast. I guess he does a podcast
Yeah, pretty popular like the most popular podcast and she makes money at it
What? Yeah, how do you really she makes tons of money? So I've always wondered how do you make money in a podcast?
Is it product placement like or does he like read ads in the middle? Yeah, I guess I mean
I've never listened to it
But I guess there's ads and stuff and it's like they get great ad buys Wow, so man, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna enjoy this delicious Coca-Cola while we're doing our podcast today
So am I Maybox parked outside?
So he makes money so we I guess I guess I you're getting at it
We're doing something wrong. I need to listen to his podcast to figure out how he's making money
Yeah, if I could
Give you a little homework
thing if I could give you a little homework doing now in the next podcast if you could listen to his podcast figure out how he's making tons of money and then
replicate that the next podcast we should we should get in on that yeah we should
do it more than anything I want pre video games and a moderati still not
have to make my block oh man I fuck You know what if anybody wants to send a Mazda Rody, we'll take it begrudgingly.

How you guys doing?
You ready?
You're all are gearing up.
You're about to take off for E3?
I'm pretty excited.
Yeah, it is gonna be fun.
Pretty excited.
Well great, well I'm glad we covered that.
All right.
Now we leave on Sunday, midday I think, early.
What do we forget that out?
I don't know.
We leave it noon on Sunday.
We get there just in time to go to the Microsoft
and the tall Circus Olakes.
Circus Olay event.
You guys are going to get to play Fable 3 at E3 aren't you?
We are.
I think.
I don't know about that.
All right.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Supposedly.
I don't know what's Microsoft so you got to figure
it out.
Probably be there.
I thought I read it was there.
You saw Fable 3 at X10. I did well
Actually, no, I didn't it was there though. It was in the basement
It was the jack wasn't cool enough to get in there. Oh, okay. We're gonna play a lot of stuff in E3
Yeah, I'll say that. I'm excited
We just we locked down rock band 3 which I'm pretty psyched about so are they gonna have like I know they're adding a new instrument
Are they adding a keyboard or a guitar? No one's, no one's sure yet as far as I know,
but they have the circles where it's like the microphone,
guitar, bass, and then they added a keyboard-looking thing,
and no one knows if it's a guitar or it's an actual...
Have you guys seen the Mega 64 video covering that?
No.
Like they have an investigative,
kind of like the Alan Wake spoof videos,
like the TV shows inside Alan Wake Us, where it's like mysteries of the a kind of like Alan Wake's boot videos like the TV shows inside Alan Wake
us where it's like mysteries of the unknown kind of thing. I like it. I want to spoof and
try to find out what it is. That was pretty clever. I watched it this morning. It sounds funny.
Yeah, it's funny. I've been I've been watching a lot of mega 64 videos lately. Dude, those kids
are dicting like we were talking about after we saw them at PAX East and it's always fun to hang
out with those guys and
After I got home one night, I was sitting at home. Griffin was off doing something important and I just like just randomly loaded up the website and it was I spent Over an hour watching videos on the website. They didn't even realize it the time just flew. Mm-hmm. Those kids are really funny
They are yeah, I rewatched them. All right. I actually I linked my my interview I did with them at PAX East
Talking about the music in it and I rewatched that video probably about three linked my my interview I did with them at PAX East talking about the music in it
And I rewatched that video probably about three more. Dude, these guys are so much funnier than you
It's good stuff. I just try to keep up man. Just try to keep up
What I guess we'll probably hopefully we'll see them again at PAX Prime and Seattle
Yeah, absolutely, but yes, so Gus
You are not going to E3 with Jack and I I'm sad about that actually because you and I we've been to E3
Five times together. It's have we been that many yeah, it's the first time I've never been to E3 without you
Wow, that's crazy. It makes me sad the first E3 we went together. We shared a bed and cuddled
He's not kidding. I woke up and I woke up in the middle of the fucking night because I felt something hairy on me
I roll I look over and Gus was spooning me
In his sleep he'd rolled over and started spooning me. Wow. Yeah, were you single at the time? Yes?
No, no, I was not but we
This Jeff is it this Jeff resemble whoever you were dating at the time
The tattoos, you know, okay
It's funny like I kind of imagine sharing a bed with you anymore. No
I like we I like the way we travel has changed so much.
Dramatically.
Yeah.
So long ago.
Another thing about that first E3, it's kind of a funny little piece of history for
Reverse's Blue.
Bungie showed off Halo at that first E3 that we went to.
Yeah.
When nobody knew really what the hell it was.
And they had a camera setup that took snapshots of people playing it.
I've heard this story.
And there's a photo of Bernie Gus and I playing Halo for the very first time.
Yep.
Driving Warthogs.
Oh, that's going to be a fun link dump.
Good luck.
And that's God how are you going to find that?
I don't know, it was on Bungie's website.
They had a, it wasn't just us, it was like a billion photos.
We just happened to be in one of them.
That's great.
That's kind of funny.
Yeah, remember, I walked up to the booth and I believe it was Matt Soel, who's no longer at Bungie, who was manning the booth I walked up to. It was like,
all right, you know, here's the controls, here's the controller, you know, go. And he was like,
standing next to me telling me how to play the game. And the first time when I was younger,
when I was like 16 or so, one of the first emails I ever sent, and definitely the first email
I ever sent to a video game company was to Bungie and it was that guy
It was Matt Sol who had responded to my email when I was 16. Oh really? Yeah, I'm just in a major moment
I mean like I walked up and I was like and then my mind I was like totally like freaking out like oh my god
One of the first people I ever talked to an email that I really looked up to what what was the email about?
I had a question about what I thought might have been a bug in marathon two was it a bug?
Yeah, I guess it was like a known issue. Oh really? Yeah, I had to question about what I thought might have been a bug in marathon two. Was it a bug? Uh, yeah, I guess it was like a known issue.
Oh really?
Yeah, it had to do with the, I don't remember the specifics, but I remember there was something wrong with the camera.
Like it had like a theater mode and like the toggling between the different views,
like the default button didn't work properly.
Oh, okay.
That happened to me kind of once where actually at X10 when I was out there I saw a Dan Schoo from EGM and I was like I read EGM so much as a kid and like oh crap this Dan Schoo
So I was like hey man, I'm huge fan, you know, nice to meet you. I was like I was trying to be as cool as I could
Yeah, that's awesome
But I saw Jeff freak out a few years ago at Comic Con
He saw who there was Andre 3000 watching me on the street only Only time you've ever seen me freak out for for seeing us to love.
And Jeff totally freaked out. He's like, oh my god, there's Andre 3000.
Look, and he was like, I'm seeing him. I was like, no, no, no, look, it's Andre 3000 right there.
I was like, I see him, Jeff. He's like, I'm going to go up and talk to him.
Dude, listen, I pride myself on maintaining my cool around celebrities.
And I've had an opportunity to not be a jackass
quite a few times in my life for various things and
Actually, I've won reasons the first time I ever met a celebrity. I was 17
I skipped high school because Charles Barkley was in town
Play a preseason game. It was the 76ers versus the magic
The it was 1922 is the year before Shaq played for the magic,
and I was pissed because I was just missing Shaq.
Because he was, he had committed, but he wasn't on the team.
And so Charles Barclay was like my hero as a kid,
and he was from Alabama too, and I was really excited.
So I skipped high, I skipped school to go see him
at this like sports store, and I had his rookie card
as 87 like, flea rookie card, and this other other card and I went to him and I was like good
luck in the game tonight I'm really excited. It's a great honor to meet you blah blah blah
I was a certain line for like a half an hour to get and he signs up Ricky might he
signs the baseball cards. He never looks at me first of all. He just like sticks his
hand out like this. He's sitting in a chair like a horrible posture. I hand him the
cards. He signs them hands him back to me and I go and I'm talking to him the whole time and then I go good luck on the game tonight. I'm gonna horrible posture. I hand him the cards, he signs them, hands them back to me, and I go, and I'm talking to him the whole time, and then I go, good luck on the games, and I'm
going to be there. I can't wait to watch the play, and he goes, hmm. And I was like, I am never going
to be excited to meet a celebrity again as long as I live because of that cocksucker. I was so
crestfallen. Like I got in trouble because I skipped school, you know, I faced grounding. I almost
didn't get to go to the game that night it was a whole thing and
He could not have been less enthused to meet me And I understand that the guy had to meet a lot of people that day
But maybe even like an eye contact or a thanks just it wasn't even it was like a grunge like man
That's gonna that's gonna encourage me to try to do a better job at
Events yeah, it was it was heartbreaking for me as a 17 year old kid
It's terrible. Yeah, and so I was like, I'm never again gonna get freaked out
if I see a celebrity, ever, for any circumstance.
And I made my, maintained my cool
until we saw Andre be fastened.
I know we have some long days in the booth like that,
but I hope I never come across like that.
I know, I try to at least smile and look at people
and I can't do this stuff.
You know, I always try to like when we can
to give a little bit, you know, do a little routine for the people and stuff
It does get exhausting meeting people all day long and I'm sure on Charles Barkley's level it's a whole
It's incomparable, but he was there just the sign autographs like at least when you guys are in the booth
You're working your grab insurance and you know, you're doing stuff. He was only there for an hour
Yeah, he was there from 11 a.m. To noon and yeah, no, it sucked
But to my credit I didn't go up and make an ask myself in front of on to you
I just stood there and stared at him across the street. We almost had to physically restrain you
So I love outcast so much and I love under 2000. It is a genius. What was it? That was a D3
He had that show that show on Cartoon Network or yeah, Cartoon Network the kids show about the I
Know I still remember it was a kid show about some kids that went to like a music school in Atlanta and they had adventures
It was like two or three years ago. Yeah, there's a while ago now
I saw Steven Spielberg at E3 2006 and that was like I think the only time I was like oh my god
Oh my god, oh my god, it's Steven Spielberg and like literally like he had an entourage for about 50 people sort of surrounding him
And he was rounding a corner and I had to like cut him off to get in front of him to like snap a photo
Real quick, I think that might be the same year of course Steven Spielberg to set next to us at the I think we've told the story on the podcast
Probably we literally sat we saw the PS3 presentation. Oh, yeah, like that intro seven minute real they did
Yeah, and he literally sat down next to it
Like you know how yet you probably thought too if you're at E3, like you had to wait in line and they let you in with the,
like, good little demo and stuff.
Like we waited in line for, you know, 15 minutes or whatever,
got in sat down, the lights dimmed.
And as soon as the lights dimmed, the doors opened again.
As Steven Spielberg just like rushed in like sat right next to us.
It was us and his kid, one of his kids.
Yeah, yeah.
And I had a Ruchitith Polo on and I was like, what are the chances that this kid
is in the video games and knows who we are.
So I like kept trying to like, my Rot T logo kind of towards the kid the whole time
Of course he was watching the PS3 video and never noticed
Yeah, it's like 2005 maybe
That was a while ago. That was funny. That wasn't the spore demo was it with Robin Williams? No, no
When was the did you guys see that? No, no, no, you know, I'm talking about that. No
So when they were they were introducing Spore they had the character creator setup. They brought in Robin Williams to like host
sessions where he would like create characters and just like riff the whole time. Like some
of the videos that came out were pretty funny. You know what, was it funny?
Jamie Kennedy. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've ever seen the other day. That was funny
for a whole different reason. Hey, can I tell you somebody else's story?
Yeah, yeah, sure. You want to claim it as your own? No, no, okay. I don't I don't know if we've talked about the
Steiner Tell on the podcast Andrew Pantons Steven Spielberg story. I
I've heard the story. I don't know. I don't think I mentioned. I don't know if I've heard the story. This is his story and it's brilliant.
Steven Spielberg, first of all, is pretty famous for being very
approachable and nice and likable. Yeah. That's kind of what they're like.
If you hear stories about Steven Spielberg, it's just about how nice of the guy is and how
you can approach him at dinner at a restaurant and he'll still stop and take the time to shake
your hand and say thanks to whatever.
I mean, he's supposed to be just a genuinely nice guy.
And Andrew, who is like the world's best football player and probably the world's best
left for dead player.
Yeah, for sure.
And you know, we deal with them and achieve a hundred of a lot and stuff.
Great kid.
He lives in Vancouver where they do a lot of filming.
And I guess Steven Spielberg was up there filming one day.
And he was in a hotel because he had some family from out of town staying.
And it was this tall hotel.
And he gets into the elevator on the first floor.
And he, like, had to go downstairs and get his bag
or something and he left in the lobby so he goes down and gets it and he gets back
in the elevator and he looks over and he's standing next to this guy and this guy is standing
next to Steven Spielberg and they're all in the elevator together and I guess the guy
looks over realizes it's Steven Spielberg and is like oh my god you're Steven Spielberg
and Steven Spielberg and he starts to try to make a conversation're Steven Spielberg and Steven Spielberg is like, yeah, I saw him Steven Spielberg and he starts to try to make a conversation
with Steven Spielberg and Steven Spielberg is not having it.
I guess he had a really bad day or something.
Who knows?
It was an off day for Steven.
And Steven Spielberg rolls his eyes and is like, yeah, whatever.
And the guy gets off on the third floor and as he's getting out, he stumbles and drops
his bag because he's so nervous because he's just Steven Spielberg and the doors can't
shut.
And Steven Spielberg is like, come on buddy, really?
Are you going to take all day?
And like I was like, I'm sorry,
and he gets out of the elevator and
Steven's sort of just like rolling his eyes on me.
And Andrew Pantons like, what a fucking jerk.
And he's like, whatever.
And then Andrew Pantons, when his floor comes up,
he gives to get off.
He's like on that 12th or the 13th floor.
I'm sure I'm telling the story wrong.
But, and he realizes, as he's open, as he's about to get out of the elevator, he But, uh, and, uh, he realizes as he's open and
he's about to get out of the elevator, he thinks, oh, did I, did I have everything I needed?
So he just like looked open up his bag and fast to make sure he didn't forget anything in
the lobby. And Steven's floor goes, are you two seriously? Are you gonna take all day? And
then Japan looks at Steven's field of work and goes, oh, fucker. And he, so he just smacked
all the buttons on the elevator. So he hit every floor because Steven's floor was getting
off on like a 24 floor,
and he was like on a 10th or 11th or 12th floor or something,
so there were like 15 floors between him.
And so he just snacks all the buttons,
so he hits every one,
and he goes, what?
And he ran out the door.
And the elevator shuts.
And poor Steven Spielberg had to go,
had to stop at every floor on the way home.
That's fucking funny.
That was brilliant.
I thought this was gonna turn into the,
Saturday Night Live, back to the future elevator ride. Remember that one? No. Michael. Michael J. Fox when he hosted and it was like Kevin Eelon kept singing
the back to the future song and someone else got on it and seeing the family tie song.
Nope. You remember that? No. Can I get back in time? Nope. You remember that? No, no.
Well we were on a roll there for seconds. Jack killed it. Man, way to go Jack. Anyway. Wait,
wait, hit the brakes. So y'all are going to see valve
oh no valve cancel bear man I don't know what's happening with valve yeah we were we were locked
in to go to that portal to event and it's been canceled it's gonna be replaced with a surprise
did you RSVP for the surprise are y'all going to that don't know exactly I didn't I didn't RSVP
well they'll we couldn't RSVP for the surprise we could
Schedule an appointment to play portal to I don't do I didn't do that did you
We should probably do that. Yeah, I'm a little overwhelmed to be honest with you like this is the first year
We've gone as like quote unquote press usually when we go for reverses blue
We just have fun or to meet you know like to go meet people, talk about making machinima in their game or whatever.
And so it's like, there's a schedule that Jack's keeping
and it's getting more and more.
It's daunting to me because I'm very bad at that stuff.
Make sure you put it all into your eye count,
think it to your phone, that's what I really should do.
I was having issues with that,
you could have tell me with the eye count stuff.
I've got it locally, but for some reason I can't
like put it online.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
So I read a rumor that some people are suspecting that I guess Valve's surprise is a new version
of the source engine.
I read that too.
Yeah.
Pretty cool if it was.
That being said, there have been rumors that it's every single possible Valve thing it
could be.
That's true.
Who knows who the Starcraft goescraft goes some for some reason.
So I guess I will find out in like a week.
Steam on the iPhone. I'm calling it right now. That'd be great.
It's a second app store. They're on distribution channel.
Netflix for the iPhone. You excited about that? Yeah, I can't wait.
I'm pretty excited about it. I don't know that I would use it very often.
But maybe I would. But my kid will like in the car.
Yeah, it's great. It's going to work over 3G.
Yeah, it's incredible.
It's fantastic.
Oh, also iPhone 4, by the way.
Yeah, iPhone 4.
Like, Bet came out?
Did they announce that?
God, I feel so bad for them because that stupid gizmo thing.
Because no one known that was coming,
if it had only been pure speculation, that thing would have been a tremendous announcement.
Dude, okay, so the gizmo-
I mean, it still was.
But people were bitching that the gizmo
No, guys got banned from worldwide developers conference. How can you bitch about that? I know I was really
You're gonna get a good raise over those comments and they were like, oh, this is you know
Steve jobs that is you know typical Steve jobs banning people who are trying to help
Like what? Yeah, yeah, good lord. It's like I hope those guys are banned from every apple of it forever
I feel like CES went to light on them Yeah, you know when they had that TV be gone
Yeah a few years ago
So you guys gonna get one?
I am not
Well, I did the thing like there's a number you can dial it
I'll tell you if you're available to get an upgrade and I'm not available till January
But I don't know if that counts with the six months early thing
I think the six months early thing would work in your favor. Yeah, I think so
So if that's the case it'll be available in July with the six months early thing. I think the six months early thing would work in your favor. Yeah. I think so.
So if that's the case, it'll be available in July,
so I might be up for it.
I'm definitely, I'm getting to.
Well, you're still on the 3G, aren't you?
Yeah, I'm still on the 3G, and we've had both of our phones
now for over more than three years, or two years, I'm sorry,
two years, so we were eligible anyway.
And although I gotta say, my 3G is still working like a horse,
I've never had any problems with it, but that video chat, what is it FaceTime? FaceTime.
Doesn't appeal to everybody I can understand, but with as much as we travel and as much as I like my kid,
that thing would be invaluable for us.
More than anything, I think the feature that I like most is the ability to shoot HD video.
Yeah, that's gonna be very exciting.
Even if, you know, I don't care so much about, I mean, having a movie on there and being able to edit on the phone is cool and all but I'd rather
just do it on my computer. I would never do that. Yeah. I think for most you know
and consumers that's fine but you know because of the job we have I have final
cut on my computer and on my laptop so. I feel kind of dumb because I just bought a
flip last week and now I'm not gonna need one. So I wonder if it'll kill Flip. Like there
was a big article on a text site I read the other day that was like is the iPhone 4 the
Flip Killer? Well, it might eventually, I think for now, no, simply because I'm a little
shocked that the iPhone 4 still will only have at most 32 gigabytes of storage, which seems
like a lot. And it's, you know, it's fine, but once you start putting your music,
your apps, movies on it,
you don't have very much space left over for HD recording.
You know, I don't think that'll be a problem for me.
I have an eight gig iPhone,
and I'm not close to filling it up.
Really?
Yeah, I don't put a lot of music on my iPhone.
It's not something that I ever really need.
What's it you put like two or three movies on there,
and immediately it's full?
Yeah, I don't really have any movies on my iPhone either. I ever really need. You put like two or three movies on there and you know immediately it's full.
Yeah, I don't really have any movies on my phone either.
I don't know.
Well, I like the movies now are coming with a digital version of it too.
So I've got like Dark Knight and I think I've got up and a few other ones.
This should all do that.
I mean, normal, I know you're not supposed to do it, but normally if I own a DVD
and I want to take it with me, I'll just rip it with handbrake
and put it on my phone and take it on the go. I guess they definitely should make
that easier. I guess now that we have the iPad I really wouldn't use my iPhone
in that capacity anymore. But yeah I thought it was it was curious that they kept
the memory the same. So 32 gigs. Did you see some of the iPad announcements they
made? Like they sell an iPad every three seconds. Yeah, that's crazy. That's fucking awesome
Nuts. That's really awesome. What's what's weirder about that to me is I feel like they still don't have
Enough volume to satisfy the demand for it. They apologize for that. Yeah, it makes me wonder if they had greater volume
Like how how many iPads would they be selling? Dude, I think in another give it another 18 months
They'll be an iPad in almost every house in America
I might tell you secret. What's that? I bought an iPad. Oh, did you like like a
Three weeks ago about an iPad. Oh, how do you like it? It might be the greatest thing ever
It's really great, right? It might be the greatest
Why'd you keep it secret because I wanted to get I wanted to really use it for a long time
And you know like really form a solid opinion about that's why I like when there was first announced I really didn't say whether I liked it or disliked
it because I wanted to get hands on with it. Which one did you buy? Just like you like a
six 16 gig wide five. Totally fine right? Yeah. Totally adequate. What are you using it for?
Everything. I mean it really is. There's some stuff I still prefer my laptop for but if I'm
just like sitting around you know reading
news it's fine I mean I'd like the news apps on it are great like the NPR app and the
the New York Times app are great you know and free the Wall Street Journal apps okay you
have to pay for you know to unlock all the functionality I did not do that no I don't
have that neither but the Netflix players great the ABC players great I Find that I prefer browsing the web on my iPad or I'm sorry on Griffin's iPad that I do on a computer now
Like it's like it's great. I don't know like the zoom in capability on stuff works so well
And it's so fast and it looks so clear and crisp. Mm-hmm. It's really fun. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it
You should try reading the book on it. I really like the book reader. Yeah, I hate reading though
Maybe if I read I would do something like that and plans versus on bshd is just a blast
Yeah
I don't know if I really bought anything I've been using just like those apps that I named and that alone's enough between that
Safari, you know just using the internet. Yeah, there's a comic book reader like a Marvel comic book reader that I really want to get
Are you excited about PDFs coming to the iPad? Yeah, yeah's a comic book reader, like a Marvel comic book reader that I really want to get. Are you excited about PDFs coming to the iPad?
Yeah, yeah.
Or I don't know.
Or whatever.
I mean, I don't know that's something that I'm going to take much advantage of.
Yeah.
But it's cool that it'll be there.
Yeah, make pirates happy.
I don't ever check mail on the iPad.
It's Griffin's iPads, but it's her mail, you know.
So we don't get a lot of PDFs coming in.
It's a cool device.
And I'm curious to see what the next generation of it will look like.
No kidding, what it'll do.
I wonder if it'll follow the design aesthetic of the new iPhone.
So here's an idea, like I was thinking about what I do on my laptop or what I do on my
iPad.
Is there going to be an iMovie version for the iPad?
Like would you be able to then do like basic video editing on an iPad?
Well, since you can't shoot video on an iPad, I would think not.
Yeah, but how hard is it going to be for them to throw an HD camera in there?
They can fit in an iPad.
Oh, absolutely. I'm thinking iPad 2 will have some sort of camera device on it.
It'll probably have FaceTime on there too.
That one will shock me. That's probably going to be the next,
it'll have a front-and-rear-facing camera in the next iPad.
When they made the announcement, they worded it in an interesting way.
I think Steve Jobs said, by the end of the year,
they expect to have 10 million FaceTime devices.
Yeah, FaceTime capable devices in the world,
instead of saying, you know, iPhones.
I wonder if FaceTime mode is going to be able to work
with like Ichat, like if I get to sit here on my laptop
and talk to someone on their phone.
Yeah, and that's the other thing I wondered.
I wondered if that meant they were going to put cameras in iPads or I wondered if that
meant they were going to integrate it with the webcams that come in Apple Cinema displays
in MacBook Pros.
Well, I would assume so.
They haven't really let out a whole lot of details about FaceTime yet as far as if it runs
through an iChat type thing or you have to create an account to have it and you have to
re-add people or it can even link it to someone's phone number
or what's going on.
Right.
By the way, you and I were talking about retina display
and what that actually means.
Jack explained it to me the other day.
Oh, if you don't already know.
Do you know here?
All right, so retina display, that's the new display
and the iPhone 4.
It's 324 DPI, which apparently the human eye at about a foot
away can only recognize about 300 DPI.
So it's actually a little bit, it's higher resolution than the human eye can process.
Okay.
So therefore it's, you know, your retina can only go so high and it's actually above that.
So it's a retina display.
So if we, if our eye can see that many pixels, why is a standard resolution on a monitor 72 DPI?
I don't know.
Because it's probably cheaper to make
I think newer Apple monitors are high resolution than that, but it makes 72 DPI with a standard for a long time. Yeah
Okay, well there you go man. What do I do means speaking of impressive numbers and figures?
Did you did you read any of that sign-feld data that came out recently? No, I haven't even heard about it
What is it? Okay, well I guess this week is the 20th anniversary of when Seinfeld began.
So they've started to release a lot of numbers
on how successful it is.
And in syndication, Seinfeld has made $2.7 billion.
Seinfeld, the show, or Jerry Seinfeld, the per Seinfeld
the show has generated $2.7 billion in pure revenue,
specifically from syndication.
That doesn't include the billions they're making on DVDs or any other kind of merchandising.
Just syndication has been almost $3 billion.
And, Seinfeld and Larry David as co-owners get a portion of that that nobody knows.
But they estimate that Seinfeld gets about 85 million a year still from Seinfeld.
Wow.
The show, they broke it down, there were 180 episodes of Seinfeld,
so that in syndication, each episodes of Seinfeld so that in
syndication each episode of Seinfeld has made 14 million dollars
Haha
That's like it crazy is that you know I was watching you know the I most nights I watch the Seinfeld
on syndication and our local Fox affiliate it's not like at 11 I think and the other night
they played the pilot and it was the first time I'd ever seen the pilot it's terrible it's really bizarre the only funny thing about that pilot is the fact that George is George like everybody else's character is like like
yeah unformed and kind of weird and they're feeling it out but Jason the waitress was a character and it was really bizarre
It was back then too. It used to be called the Seinfeld Chronicles right
I think the first few episodes maybe the first season was a Seinfeld Chronicles also
I guess the first four episodes were summer episodes and they were facing cancellation every week
And so like they were talking about on Howard Stern the other day where like their their publicist would call
It was it come on Wednesday nights and every like Tuesday
They would get a call from Sefell's publicist that were like
can you please put Jerry on Wednesday morning to promote the show we're fighting
for our lives here we're gonna get cancel you've got to help us out like it
was really touching go for them for a while and now he's making eighty five million
dollars a year a year for a show that I've got a show that ended twelve years ago
for fucking reruns dude that's that's crazy and you know who's not making
eighty five million dollars a year anybody's crazy. And you know who's not making $85 million a year?
Anybody else in that show?
You know they get zero, like Jason Alexander, Julia Stryffas, Michael Richards, they get
zero money from the industry.
I think that's the deal they signed.
Yeah, they would hold up on DVDs for a long time because they weren't going to get a
cut of it because of their original deal.
So that's like rework the deal they were getting. The deal is they get a piece of DVD sales, which I'm sure is nothing to laugh at. I'm sure the
DVD sales are tremendous, you know, but yeah, they get zero dollars from that from syndication,
which is fucking crazy. That's weird. Yeah. Man. That's the deal they had. I'm sure, you know,
I'm sure they approached it like any other project when they started didn't
think. It didn't weren't sure if it was going to go even a hundred episodes or be
syndicated or anything. You think sag would at least make sure they get some sort
of residuals. I think they have to get some sort of residual payment every time. I mean
they have to get some sort of base residual payment, but they don't have any kind
of syndication deal where they get a cut of syndication. I'm sure they get their sag minimum residual or whatever it is, but yeah, they get nothing
that is syndication, which is crazy. How does their agents not renegotiate that contract after?
How many years of that show? They renegotiated the contract in the last season, and syndication
just was not on the table. It was not an option. And so they ended up getting DVD rights in the
last season. And then those were even disputed, like you were saying, which is why the DVDs took so long to come out
because they had this huge
battle over their cut of the DVD sales, which they eventually worked out.
Let's just nuts. I wonder if those guys hate Larry David and Jerry Sunfeldt.
I mean, you always see the side members on curbing enthusiasm. Yeah, yeah,
they all came back together on curb, right? Yeah, like later, but even in season one like Julia
Louise, Dreyfus and and Jason Alexander were showing up pretty regularly. He never saw Jerry
sign fell until much later on in the show, but there's gotta be bad blood there, right? I don't know.
I mean regardless of that deal, the show still made all those people a household name.
It's still with those people a lot of money.
Yeah, but regardless of how the deal on the back end works.
Who did the most successful, non-sign felt member of the cast is?
Probably Julie Lewis-Dreyfus like that.
I guess so because she has that new adventure
of the world of Christine.
She's had a couple of shows.
That show got canceled though.
But it had a couple of seasons.
Yeah, not funny.
Yeah, no.
Jason Alexander does movies, you know, he's had some movie games
He's a pretty woman. Yeah, oh really? Yeah, he was like
Before he felt yeah, he was in shallow hell
You see him every once in a while. Oh man. Was he in shallow hell? Yeah, he was he was he was
Jack Black's best friend. Oh, that's right. He's like the number two guy. Then we was terrible did I see the movie with you?
Yeah, we sought together in the theater. I think I'm gonna be suck. Yeah, it was terrible terrible film
But no, I see I feel like I see Jason ex I was going to pretty regularly Michael Richards though
Yeah, he sort of he fed it into obscurity and then came back for one very painful
And then disappeared again
Well, not a couple painful days because anyone had to apologize to you. Yeah
Yeah, I remember that when Seinfeld was on David Letterman and they like they like
apologizing.
They like video no they like video shattered with them or so or they brought him on like
via like remote or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then all the audience was laughing and Jerry got mad and he's like it's not funny.
We're not joking around.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was that was painful man.
I'm sure I'm sure here regrets ever doing that. Gus did you see this 12-year-old kid who saved his sister from a moose attack based on his World of Warcraft skills?
Is that true? Yeah, that's that's kind of an old story. I think it's like I haven't heard that. It's on I-O-9 right now. What did he do?
So this kid was him and his younger sister I guess they were about to get attacked by a moose. And so he used his knowledge of like he wanted to save a sister so he taunted the moose to distract it so he taunted the moose so he
went aggro on the moose and the moose started going after him and then he
feigned death and the moose got bored and walked away so he liked to
distract the moose and then they basically walked off so he personally
attributed that to the world of horror. He played a hunter in World of Warcraft
and there's some very similar skills. See video video games, save lives. That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
It's some Norwegian kid, Norwegian boy.
There you go.
I wonder how much Blizzard paid him for the left story.
Yeah.
Just tell him it was because of World of Warcraft.
How old did you say he was?
He was 12.
OK.
Hans is named.
Of course.
I think World of Warcraft is rated T for T.
And I don't know if that's an age appropriate for Hans.
Is this last name, Groober?
Oh, please, please. I don't know.
You've got a great Hans Groober.
I have a friend of mine I went to high school with and he had a younger brother that was like two or three years younger than us.
By the way, it's Frank who was an immersion that he wanted to see him around.
Yeah.
And after we had graduated high school, like we were hanging out, like it was like summer break from college or something
We were hanging out and his brother was all excited because he had a some kind of like weird scholarship
This it's on the sketch. He got a letter in the mail that was like you're pre-qualified for some grant or scholarship
You know you just have to pay us like a
Feed to process it and then you'll get all this money obviously scamming his younger brother was kind of dumb and was excited about it
And we're trying to convince him it was it was fake and then we were looking at the paper
and then Frank said look it's signed by Hans Gruber that was the bad guy in
Die Hard. Funny thing about that is his younger brother who was kind of dumb is
like a fucking scientist now. Yeah he had in California.
California military projects. Yeah.
That he can't talk about. You know know, it's sad that no one really highlights Hans Gruber's humanitarian efforts.
It's philanthropic properties.
You only get the bad stuff.
Man, speaking of secret projects, what do you think about that Mortal Kombat thing?
That trailer that came out yesterday?
I don't know, it's a secret, buddy.
It was alright.
But it's kind of a cool take.
Bernie hated it.
Yeah, I wasn't as blown away as I think most people wanted to. Bernie everything. I thought it was really really cool. What did you think about it?
Joe? Um, I thought that the the fight sequence, which is why I wanted to show up the money was tremendous
I thought it was really good and all that choreography was fantastic. I thought it started off okay
Then the fan service stuff just went over the top and was really blatant
Mm-hmm and really knowing like stuff like when jacks closes his door his cop door his name Jack's in whatever
Jackson Briggs Jackson Briggs is on the door but the O and the N have fallen off
and it just says Jack's like Jay CK and that's cool like I was like oh that's
kind of cool they're like like little hints that aren't like too overt and then
they were like then they just started crowbar and stuff and left and right and
that got kind of hard to listen to and the acting wasn't that great, but it was cool to watch.
I hope it works out for them as a pitch piece, right?
Yeah, it's basically the apparently Jerry Ryan who was Sonya Blade in the piece.
She said it was for the director to pitch Warner Brothers on taking Mortal Kombat in a new direction.
And so it's more, I mean, it's very like reminiscent of like seven, but I really like the...
Oh, we're not going to get to see Christopher lambarers raiding anymore
Christopher lambar. Oh man, what a great dude
Man that first moral combat move both moral combat movies pretty rough. I would have never saw the second one
I know I saw the first one was goddamer
Diculous the seed they had like CGI dragons like it's like is it not teahawk who is a night wolf
like it's like is it not teahawk who is a night wolf like teaches lukeh how to like channel his animality
and then they cry it's like you already listen
oh right it's like a beat like to like a dragon and a beast fight at the it's
god it's so bad dude
back to more important things though what do you what is your favorite Christopher
Landbar movie um
we want to answer to that right yeah i guess it's gotta be I'm gonna go with Grey Stoke
I don't think I've ever read that he was fucking Tarzan was it yeah
Well, that was good. I gotta look Christopher love. I got a I gotta know if he was in anything else that I would know besides
Highlander
Can you think of any other movies? He's been in jack mortal combat. Oh besides moral combat one. He wasn't a moral combat, too
been in jack mortal combat. Oh besides mortal combat won he wasn't a mortal combat too. No. He uh Christopher Lambert, Rucker Hauer and Jan Michael Vincent have like the exact same
career in my head. I don't know. I get those dudes confused all the time. Yeah I don't recognize
any of these movies. Nope. All right yep Highlander. Still gonna stick with Grey Stope. Did you see
the rumor that Kim Kardashian might play Lara Croft in a
Tomb Raider reboot? Yeah, I would be terrible. That would be terrible, but I would watch it because I've seen her in a movie before and that was great movie
What movie? Oh
That will that indie film she did a great. A lot of shaky cam, but she was fantastic in that one and I would definitely see her as
I would I would I would pay to see her that chick is so hot. You know who she's dating right now, supposedly? The soccer player in Aldo, Ronaldo. Yeah. I guess we're gonna
go from like where do you go from Reggie Bush? I guess you go for the world soccer player.
You go from like the national level of an athlete to like an international like superstar.
Well, yeah, after this she might have to move to like an international like superstar.
Well, yeah, after this, she might have to move to like aliens.
Like she's got a, yeah, there's no, there's no one left.
She has to, she'll have to go with like a fusion of Brad Pitt and David Beckham.
Or me.
She'll have to date him both at the same time or just one Gus.
Yeah.
Or one Gus.
There you go.
I guess she won, she, I, you know, Reggie Bush won a Super Bowl while dating her.
So maybe, maybe Bernaldo's doing some smart.
I think when all those got enough accolades already
Yeah, dude's doing all right. She's like the anti-Jeska Simpson
We could hook her up a Tony Romo. Okay
So the the world cup starts on Friday. I'm really excited you and I might be doing people excited about this in the office
I'm super excited. I've been so anxious for like the last month. Well you and I have been world cup buddies now
This will be our third world cup. We've been through together. I guess so third or fourth
like the last month. Well, you and I have been World Cup buddies now.
This is will be our third World Cup we've been through
together.
I guess so.
Third or fourth.
Back in the day when we were more fanatical about it,
we would get up, it's always heirs it,
like retarded times.
It's not so bad this time.
It's not so bad this time.
But you and I would get up, there's a bar called Fiddah.
It's actually a chain, but it's in Austin
that would show games at like six in the morning.
And you and I would like get up before work
or take days off work to go to this bar at six a.m.
And we would be surrounded by drunken Irish and British hooligans at like who are like hammered at six thirty in the morning
and it was an amazing and surreal and awesome experience. I could never figure out if they were still drunk from the night before or if they'd gotten
up super early to get drunk. I don't know. It was it was it was a work of art if they were just born drunk, but it's like the
Experience of sitting in a like an Irish pub with a bunch of drunk in UK dudes at like six in the morning on a third day
Mm-hmm is just it's a fantastic everybody should go once in their life the worst
And I think that world cup was the O2 world cup and that was the worst one because I that was the one that was hosted in
Korea in Japan. Yeah, and the time change was so fucked up yet to go to the table.
It was super early to watch everything.
Wait, and you glued me into something really awesome
because I don't have cable anymore,
so I'm not going to go watch a lot of the games.
I can only watch the stuff that ABC is going to air.
You glued me into that.
If you go to ESPN3.com, they're streaming
almost every World Cup game.
Yep.
54 out of the 64 games will be streamed.
The 10 that will not be streamed
are the 10 that are going to be broadcast on ABC.
And the first game is Friday.
First game is Friday.
It's South Africa and Mexico.
Right.
So you go Mexico.
Yay.
I'll move from Mexico.
I guess not every service provider will allow you to stream off of ESPN3, though.
Like, I guess the service provider has to have a deal with the network.
I don't know how it works.
But I think I read that Time Warner will not allow you to stream stuff off of ESPN3.com.
But our internet provider here at the office does,
and my internet provider at home does.
And plus, I can watch it on my iPhone.
Oh, I got to sync that to watch my iPhone.
Also, you can, if you have access that allows you to,
and you're traveling, it allows you to remote access it
somehow.
If you do it, I don't know how that works. So I'm not going to talk gonna talk about it too much. Oh, man speaking of we don't typically go into sports too much
But Jack and I realized that during e3 Tuesday night kind of in the middle of an event we have what's the event?
Always did is the Halo reach um damn
But during that event we're gonna have to figure out how to do it the
Lakers Celtics will be playing game six assuming it makes it the game's they could be playing
And so we started looking up tickets on ticket master or I'm sorry on
Stop and I think we're gonna go see the Lakers Celtics play well. Yeah, I'm excited
Maybe awesome. Yeah, we'll see some of the game and then leave to go play the
Lakers won last night. Yeah, so basically we need the Celtics to win tomorrow night, right? Yeah, the Celtics went to maranite. It'll guarantee game six at least. Right. So,
so I'm really looking forward to that. I've never been to an NBA playoff game before.
But tonight, Jeff and I were going to go see some hockey. I went to the game on Monday and
we're going to we're going to go into the game tonight. Get a sit on the glass, watch
the Texas stars and the Hershey Bears. Nice to date. Yeah. I'm excited. I already did
the old dick in the popcorn. Yeah
According to Jack the
The stadium or what does it fucking call it? The theater park center. The theater park center has dollar hot dogs dollar hot dogs two dollar beers So we might have a little hot dog eating contest. You know Ikea has 50 cent hot dogs. Yeah, but I can't eat anything
That's rough. You get a bag of meatballs for like a dollar, but
Yeah, that should be fun.
The game on Monday, like so the stars were up two games to,
they were up two games.
The game on Monday, they came out strong.
They were up three to one in the first period.
It was like everything was clicking.
And then the bears put five up on answered and beat him six to three.
And it was pretty painful to watch.
You know, I haven't talked about this with you yet,
but I just remembered you talking about IKEA,
just reminding me, over the weekend, Griffin and I were in IKEA buying stuff at a house
And we were buying some fabric because we made some curtains for the living room
which are lovely by the way and I got into a bit of a fight with a deaf lady
Yeah, she's this old woman. She was like I'm gonna guess like 55 and there's like one
Fabric cutting station where you can like measure your fabric and cut it and
and there's like one fabric cutting station where you can like measure your fabric and cut it. I know the situation.
And yeah, so we would, we walk over there, there's nobody there and we lay our fabric down
and then some lady comes over and starts to hand signaling me.
And I guess that she had some fabric off to the side that I didn't see and I was like,
oh, okay, I guess you're cutting fabric, but you weren't by this, whatever.
Okay, so I picked up my fabric and I stood off to the side for a second and she hemmed
and hot and cut a little bit of fabric
And then walked away so I went and I put my stuff back down and we got ready to cut and then she comes back five minutes later with another
Real of fabric and starts yelling at us. Well, pantomime is again, and I was like, what the hell lady?
Okay, so I pulled my fabric away and then she gets off flustered and starts like elbowing me and stuff and starts cutting more fabric
She did that for fucking 20 minutes and every time she would leave I'd like come over and I'd start to put my fabric down
and she would run back and be like, no, no, no.
Like it was really weird.
So I had to literally sit there and watch this lady very slowly cut fabric for 20 minutes.
And anytime I got close to the station, she was like, she'd turn on me.
It was really weird.
It's so weird.
It might be my least favorite person on the planet.
And I guess she's probably not listening to this podcast.
But uh...
that would be amazing
but if she was i just wanted to know you're a bad person
hey uh... doesn't the eighty movie opened this weekend
does it
i don't credit it opens this weekend i don't know
did i have everything i'm reading is that that credit can be used to be awesome
it looks good it looks terrible i think it was terrible to the trailers and it
looks pretty good man. I don't know every every commercial
I see makes me cringe like I can't look at it
You know what's a good fucking movie like honestly a seriously a good movie if you sat down a watch right now
It'd be awesome. What's that karate kid the original it's not that old. Yeah, that came on the early eighties mid eighties
86 87
It's a list of a shoe right?oo, right? She's in there.
Yeah, Elizabeth Schoo's all of them.
84.
Yeah, 18 does open this weekend.
Nice.
So the Battle of the 80s this weekend, the hot stuff?
I guess so.
Is Ruster Feast going to any of the draft houses?
Are they going to the draft house?
I'm not sure.
They're going to a billion places.
Hey, that's another thing.
That's going on this week.
Ruster Feast is this weekend.
I think Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you know, you and
I will be on a plane Sunday, but I'm going to make a concerted effort to have lunch with
those guys on Friday wherever they happen to be at lunch on Friday.
And then when they hit up Ria Rida on Saturday, I'm going to go try to have drinks with them.
I don't know if you guys have it.
Have they put out a schedule yet?
No, they're going to have a schedule soon, I think.
They do have the draft house on here, though.
Okay, that's...
I've made it such a priority that I was actually going to go camping Friday night with with Griffin and Millie
Before I go out of town and we canceled the camping trip just so that we could hang out with the rooster
It's also been raining the last few days. Probably don't want to camp in that. I'm sure to be fun. This is Texas should dries up fast. Yeah, true
Yeah, if you know rooster feasts of realist things should put out a schedule. I think they they said they are going to they're just
Waiting to the last minute for some reason. Okay, sounds sounds like a very well organized event. I gotta keep it's guessing. Um
Anyway, the reason I bought up the 18 movie to step back a second is did you hear that mr. T?
I guess it's very upset at the 18 movie. I was gonna bring that up to yeah. He does not condone or support this film. Yeah, I guess he was shocked with
How graphic it is and the violence and the sex. Yeah, too much sex and violence from Mr. T.
Yeah.
That's a, that's a, I guess he also turned down a cameo in the movie.
Well, the man's got morals.
Yeah.
Well, maybe I don't know.
He probably didn't know what the script was.
Maybe that the show was script.
I don't know.
I don't know how that works.
Yeah.
So, sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
Well, I wonder how the movie will be.
It doesn't seem good.
It looks terrible. I will say to that trailer.
I can't believe that they put the tank falling
and shooting out a plane in the trailer
because that seems like that's probably the big...
The moment of the mission.
Speaking of trailers, did you see the new Harry Potter trailer?
Yeah, Deathly Hallows, right?
I thought, yes.
Part one.
This is fucking fantastic.
Oh, okay, I'm so excited about that.
I was unpacking, I'm moving back to my house right now
and I'm unpacking all my boxes
and I found all my Harry Potter books
and I'm like, I might have to reread the last one again.
I've, I'm waiting.
I was really tempted to start.
When I think about reading Harry Potter books,
I think about starting at book four
because one through three for me are just kind of kids books
and I don't know, they're not as engrossing for as when it gets really good to me.
Yeah, but I would I've been wanting to reread four through seven for a while, especially seven,
but I think I'm trying to wait until Millie's old enough to read them to and to get it, you know,
because I think I'd be a fun thing to share with her. So I got a couple of years to go, I guess.
Yeah, when did you start reading? Or how quick did you read Harry Potter?
Like after like what book did you pick up? I started with book four. Griffin was like when book four
came out, we were actually at Comic Con when book four came out and the day it came out, Griffin
was like we have to go get this book. And so we went and founded the day at like a beat-alton
on the day it came out and we read the entire book at Comic Con. Wow. And then I don't think it's taken me longer than two days to read a single Harry Potter book.
Yeah, I started reading it right around when book three came out and I was going on a plane.
I was living in Florida at the time and I was on a plane trip going from Florida back to Austin
and my friend, she gave me the first book. She's like, you're just read it. You know,
give it a shot on the plane. You'll like like it and by the time I flew back to Orlando I was
up to book three and read it like I read books one two and three in Austin or I'd finish three on
the way back like and I's got hooked man yeah it's you know it's untouchable that's a series I have a
question who's a fuck is B Dalton he's a bookseller yeah Barry Dalton you don't know I don't know
it seems like a weird name to be Dalton who't know him. I don't know. It seems like a weird name to me.
B Dalton.
Who are the Brooks Brothers?
I don't know.
Who's anybody?
So weird.
I like it.
Like, okay, whatever.
No, no, no, it's not so weird as side.
I just just, I don't understand it.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Who the fuck's Amazon?
Jeff Amazon, Bezos.
So they introduced the Harry Potter trailer at the MTV Movie Awards,
which had problems on its own. Did you see the recap of all the F-bombs dropped during the MTV
Movie Awards? I appreciated that. God. I'm surprised it's not a bigger deal. People complain in
bitch about cursing on TV. Did you watch the interview music? No, I'm a movie or just...
I have cable right now.
Oh yeah.
I wonder how Aziz ends already did.
I like that guy a lot.
Yeah.
No idea.
Apparently, none of us have cable in here.
Oh, yeah.
We saw.
Well, I'm getting it tomorrow.
Apparently, from what I read,
it was one of the worst ratings wise.
Really?
And worst viewership wise and apparently hockey beat it.
Which is a big deal because...
Jesus. Yeah, hockey doesn't do well until
And I guess nobody tuned in for it and they had clips from none of us did yeah Tom Cruise
Was playing that what that character from trumpet thunder?
I thought that was really bizarre that he would reprise that role
So so long after the movie came out for no apparently I might be to start promoting that night and day movie
He's why doesn't he want he could just do a character from night and day or like a whole or new another character
But he had a lot of buzz from that character. Yeah, that's true
I mean, that's a character people like and he's trying to erase the crazy and people's minds
I will say that I watched that video of him and JLo doing their deal and I was pretty impressed yeah like
Tom proves in good shape, and I was pretty impressed. Yeah. Like Tom Cruise is in good shape,
and I thought he was almost 50.
Is it 47, 38?
Have you seen the night and day trailer?
Yeah, I think it looks great.
It looks good.
It's like, God, Tom Cruise, you are bonkers.
Well, you make good moves.
No, dude, that's the thing about Tom Cruise.
He's a terrible human being, probably.
But the guys are fucking, if you put him,
he put a camera in front of him, he's awesome.
I saw a TV commercial for it last night.
I was like, I hadn't seen it,
you know, I've seen the trailer before I haven't seen this TV commercial
I had like some new stuff. I said everything in there looks great
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely dude like camera Diaz like like sitting backwards on a motorcycle and firing it
Oh, looks no, it's pretty cool looks awesome
It seems the the weird thing to me is you know
There's another movie out right now that a shun kutcher movie what's called the killers the a shun kutcher
Yeah, that's in high-go-movie that based on the trailer seems like it has a very similar plot line.
Well, they all seem kind of like, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, too.
Right, right.
But, but man, Aston Kutcher and Catherine Hagel, I can't, the only worst pairing I can think of was that
other Captain Hagel movie, the ugly truth, the Gerard Butler that man that like does they seem like the two people I would at least like to see in a movie I know I'm
gonna move you together no well I guess you know in here saw that movie no no
maybe it's a great movie maybe we don't know maybe we're just judging so one
day I'll show up on Netflix and we'll watch it will be like I have to apologize
start a podcast off I need to apologize for something I said last year I
sincerely doubt that so I even try to talk about glee on the podcast now I have to apologize. Start a podcast off. I need to apologize for something I said last year.
I sincerely doubt that.
So, shall I even try to talk about Glee on the podcast?
No.
Or a season finale was last night.
I'll leave it at that.
It was good.
A lot of cliffhangers for the next season.
Okay, great.
All right, and we're done.
Cliffhangers for the next season.
It's a little bobby pass as chemistry test.
It's the end of the school year. Actually, whoever made Glee did the smart thing
and they made all their kids sophomores.
So it's like they have that cast for at least three full seasons,
or even six seasons if they split it up.
But yeah, so anyway, someone was smart on that
and that show was getting ridiculously big.
Okay, people like that show.
Okay, here's something that we can talk about.
No, this is, you'll appreciate this. So Glee's okay. Here's something that we can talk about that no this is it you'll appreciate this
So Glee's gotten so big they do this touring show now
We're like the kids from the show perform. I mean they're all actual performers and so in the show
There's a kid who's in a wheelchair in real life. He's not in a wheelchair. He's a walking
He's an actor who plays a crippled person exactly handicapped person in the touring show
He's in the wheelchair.
Of course, he's playing a character.
He's playing a character.
Why would he be?
Why would that not offensive?
Why would it be offensive?
He's reprising his role?
Why would that be any more offensive than him being
in a wheelchair on the TV show?
Because it's the, for some reason,
the bugs that he'll add.
There's absolutely no difference from the two of you.
He's playing that character on television
and him playing that character on the stage.
If it was the glee play, if it was like on Broadway, would you have a problem? They him playing that character on the stage if it was a play with it was the glee play if it was like on Broadway but it's a problem
they're not playing characters on the stage they're put their actor or their performers on the
are they performing songs from the show performing songs yes but they're not being they're not in character when they're
performing the songs they're just how do you know they're not people I know I haven't been to it people let me put it
this way they they sell it as a glee tour they don't sell it as the so and so and so and so and so and so tour.
I don't know, people are going to see the characters they know from the show singing the song.
They're going to see the actors.
But then on the show, there is a one the girls is pregnant.
She's fake pregnant and she's under the state show.
She's not pregnant.
Okay, she should be fake pregnant.
She should be fake pregnant.
So if that standard lives up for that kid, you got to do it for both of them. Well, yeah, so the problem is with her, not with the camera wheelchair. Well, she should be fake pregnant. She's a fake pregnant So if that standard lives up for that kid you got to do it for both of them
Well, yeah, so the problem is with her not with the kid in the wheelchair
Well, it could be either way no no because he's still playing the character
You're going to see the glee show you're gonna go to the glee show because you watched the glee show on television
And you go to see the glee people sing the glee songs from the goddamn glee show
It's like being upset if you want to go see a play about fdr's life and the actor who is playing him was in a wheelchair
yeah he was in a fucking that's the character you're absolutely right sure that is a fantastic analogy I did
across from the high five yeah god damn it you've never been more wrong I'm sure I have been more wrong about
other things but anyway that really bugs me because that kid he does you really bugs me now Whatever all right. I'm done. It's been a while
We've had a good a good disagreement. I can't understand. I can't believe that's I'm the only one who gets bugged by that
I can't believe you're not bugged by the pregnant chick. That's the one that's wrong
She's the one that's half-ass in it. She needs to put that baby bump on and get out there and waddle around on stage and sing
Or she really needs to get knocked up. She's just come into the character and getting knocked up. Is she hot? Yeah, she's hot. Okay. There's a bunch of
hot girls on that show. I think you'd like it. I do love wheelchair singers. I was unsure about
the show, but then like the third episode they have a bikini car wash while these girls are like
singing and soaping down trucks and I was like, okay, yeah, this show's won me won me over so many more bikini car washes have they had since then uh none but they've had
a lot of really hocks so the show peeks is what you're saying yeah who's that's the 30 hulu here I
come oh isn't hulu coming what did you tell me uh there's speculation that hulu is going to be
coming to Xbox live and the ipad we talked about we talked about the Xbox live yeah but now Reuters
is reporting it right yeah Reuters saying it's coming on a multiple platform
So with Xbox being one of them. That'd be awesome. Let me super super on the other reason I love my iPad
Yeah, you think they'd announce that and then that's also when they'd announce like start charging for
Hulu I'll pay I'll pay for Hulu. I'll be happy to yeah
I bet they'll they'll charge for that, you know other platform access. Yeah, I'm sure they'll always have a free level
Well Hulu is on the web? Who will use this flash, right? Yeah. So they're gonna have to
make a conversion to HTML5 to show up on the iPad and that's gonna cost a lot
of money to do. I would imagine. So they're gonna have to make... they're gonna
have to support that somewhere. Man, you know, I'm thinking about it. There's
yeah. It might not be that bad. It's what's up regarding it.
Somebody or some process is going to have to re-encode every video on the site.
It depends how easy it is to gain access to the files that they encode from.
You can set a batch real easy to just go through a whole folder full of files,
but then it's a matter of amassing all of those files and finding your originals again.
Yep.
You have to develop a whole new process.
Like you're going to have to change the entire ingestion process for every video that comes
in from you know, now.
Yeah.
Listen to you, what are you, some kind of video producer, ingestion process?
That's pretty good.
That's what it's called.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I'm impressed.
I work in entertainment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if the, I don't know how they'll do it.
It's interesting.
Yeah. Like how does YouTube play on
The iPhone now how does that work because I know they have an HTML5 beta site
But you could watch YouTube on your phone before they had some day live beta site
Yeah, but it wasn't all the it wasn't everything on YouTube
Right, I think they were they were slowly converting everything the H264 and now I think when they upgraded
YouTube to go HD that's when they started bringing the H264 to the main site. Gotcha. So I think it's all based on that now. Okay. It makes sense
Well, maybe who will if YouTube could do it with all those
Videos who wish to be able to do it. Yeah, absolutely think about the number of different sort of formats that YouTube gets in like people
uploading everything like M4V
AVI all I crap to who lose probably got some sort of standard. They request so it's got to be a little easier
I would imagine I don't know I don't work at Hulu. Good call. Oh, how many people do work at Hulu? I don't know
That's an interesting question. I'm only shocked by the number of people that work at companies like Facebook and in my space in Hulu
It's always way too many. Yeah, it's like way too many. We have how many employees are 10, 11, something like that?
I don't even know too many. I mean I'm shocked at the number of employees we have a
wrist-treat that's too many. Like most of those, you know, web companies, they have a lot of sales
people. Yeah, that's what makes up, that's what you don't think about and I can't imagine how
depressing that would be. Oh hey, before I forget, we, Jack and I, I think we talked about
in the last podcast, we're very excited because some a fan was very nice to send us a
Like essentially a six pack of devel. Oh, yeah, okay, which was very cool. I have funny story about that
Yeah, but uh or actually it's probably your story you should tell but
On top of that this week earlier this week we received a care package from a
Person on the site or let's say a listener to the podcast who would like to remain nameless.
But who is he specifically requested hands down or she hands down he or she well didn't
we determine that we have the highest male audience of any other way.
Yeah, that's obviously him hands down a true hero in the great and the most pure sense
of the word he sent us six bottles of scotch
That and he did it the right way too. He ordered them locally in town and had them deliver it
That's great as a like a like I guess like a welcome gift for the new office when we finally move in in July and
It was nice nice nice scotch like he sent a 18 like a 18 year old bottle of Lafroyg
Which is like my favorite scotch and I've never-old bottle of Lafroyg, which is my favorite scotch. And I've never even seen 18-year Lafroyg.
I usually drink 10-year.
And sometimes 15-year.
And it was like every bottle we pulled out was better than last.
It's funny, because I was at the Colo when the delivery got here.
And I guess I got here just a couple of minutes afterwards.
I was walking up the stairs and you were like, there's nothing here.
I did, I tried to block you. I didn't want to see it.
Well, what's going on?
Yeah, and so it was a big struggle,
whether we should open them up
and immediately down all that stuff.
Because guys and I could go through six bottles of scotch
in a week, easy.
Easy.
But we decided that we're going to true to his wishes,
or what we assume his wishes to be.
We're going to wait till we open up the new office,
and then we're going to build like a beautiful scotch bar.
Then we're going to go on a bender to end all benders. Yeah. And then we're going to make sure beautiful scotch bar. They're gonna go on a bender and all benders.
Yeah, and then we're gonna make sure we get nothing done for the first moment.
They're gonna burn down that building.
Anyway, it was a heartwarming gift and we're very touched.
Heartwarming.
Thank you so much, sir.
So much scotch.
So, so someone sent us Duvel, Creo sent us Duvel last week.
And that was awesome of him.
And it was awesome of him.
And we put the Duvel in the fridge because we were gonna drink it. Yeah, you got three Duvel and I got three Duvel last week and that was awesome of him and it was awesome of him and We put the Duvel in the fridge because we were gonna drink it
Yeah, you got three develop and I got three. Yeah, we both got three
We got like these gift bag or gift packs that had like a little glass and then an extra one so we both had three piece and
We put the Duvel in the fridge into cool and so because we got it late in the day
We got it and we're like we're gonna let's open these up tomorrow. Yes, let them cool overnight.
Yeah.
And then in the morning we'll come in and have a little breakfast.
And the morning will come in.
It'll be nice.
So the next morning I get in to work and there's an open bottle of Duvel that's had maybe
one or two sips out of it and it's sitting on a desk out in the front room, not the
back room.
Now we're Jeff and I said, warm as hell because it's been there all night.
It's been their own night.
Turns out Bernie opened up one of our bottles, took two sips, so I don't like this and it's left it out the rest of all night. It's been their own night turns out Bernie open up one of our bottles took two
Sipsos. I don't like this and it's left it out the rest of the night. So that one
He's notorious for that dude. It gets worse than that then another one of my dovelle just disappeared
I don't know what happened to that one so out of the three that he was nice enough to send me
I got one yeah, I'm sure that one the disappeared got jolt. Yeah, might have I will say that one developed was delicious
Yeah, I haven't had one yet. I haven't had any any of them yet, so no
But thankfully I've left mine out. I've my gift my gift pack so I like to do them still
You take that home before those disappear. Yeah, yeah
The person that took the two out of my gift pack didn't even throw the gift pack away or any it's just in the fridge empty
Still
Nice. Did you take the glass out at least? No, the glass is still there the whole thing and i'm i'm so mad about it
all of the stuff that doesn't get you drunk is still in there
yeah
i'll take the glass out eventually i see that i see that
transfer our other question who has a hundred and sixty employees
she's
and four offices
hundred and sixty employees in philia new york baysing chicago what do you need
what do you need an office in baysian well i'm sure that they have
they have deals outside of the u.s i mean i know you can't get really when the u.k. but there's got to be deals outside of the u.s. I mean I know you can't get who you in the UK but there's got to be some markets outside
the u.s. that you can and you have to have a local presence.
Merrily?
I would think so.
I don't know.
What?
160 employees for an operation the size of who lose seems like a lot but compared to like
Facebook having a thousand employees it seems a little more realistic
i bet facebook has more of that they did that was that that was what that
figures probably to you know they're going to two hundred nostons
yeah
what is that what do we think of where the locations could be is it to be
cross from huts are they building there i think so
yeah they just tore down a building over there face book has a word fourteen
hundred employees
well you know
that's crazy as you and I were going to walk
in a lunch at Whole Foods one day
and we were looking at this old gas station
or repair shop.
It's a car repair shop.
Car repair shop, that was still operating
and we were like, this was maybe two months ago
and I was like man, this is some prime real estate,
often is really grown up around the street.
I wonder how much longer the dude is gonna be able
to hold on to the repair shop before finally,
either the least one's out or he decides to sell or whatever the situation is.
Literally a month later, we were walking the lunch at Whole Foods and it was going.
It was just a parking lot.
Yeah.
The entire building was going.
Oh, like, it felt like overnight.
I guess that's where it faced.
And that's where it's going to be.
Yeah.
Speedo, which maybe we should go get some, oh no, it's terrible weather.
It's going to be where she gets some Whole Foods for lunch.
Maybe the weather improved.
Maybe. If it did, we should go. Yeah, oh no, it's terrible weather. We could see if she gets some whole foods for lunch. Maybe the weather improved.
Maybe, if it did we should go.
Yeah.
I don't think so.
It was raining while I was walking in.
So by the way, do chickens are fucking stupid.
This is, it's rained twice now since I've had the chickens.
And I have a little like hut for them that's weatherproof
so that they can get in and stay warm and dry.
And sure enough this morning Griffin goes outside to look
and the chickens are as far away from the from the little hut as
they can be in the pouring rain just huddled up freezing to death so we have
to like physically put them in the to give it give them a towel and had to like
put them in the in the little weatherproof hut and lock them in it because
they're too got them down to get in on their own that's fucking funny yeah all
right well let's get out of here. Let's go get some lunch. Okay. Alright. Anything else you guys want to talk about? We had Red vs Blue episode 9.
Yes. Season 8 just hit this pass one day. Yeah, what happened? What, what, what, shouldn't
it have been a PSA? What we wanted to get to the point where we had to reveal at the end of episode 9.
Oh, yeah, we were kind of on a leave. And then now, now we have a PSA coming out this week.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I know it. I like like out I was confused by that. I've actually it's weird
I've actually like lost touch with reverses blue a little bit since I've been working here
Well, you and I are back in the achievement of cave. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's like what's going on guys
Well, I just record the audio
I don't actually listen to recording when you guys are doing stuff. I'm actually excited at the PSA. It's a
PSA that speaks to me. Yeah
It's not that's not so much about it
But yes, we have a PSA coming out this Monday
and then episode 10, the Monday after that.
And then it got our welcome from LA.
Yeah, we're going to do, we're going to attempt to do
a week of videos, multiple videos a day from E3.
Oh, really?
Yeah, we'll see.
We might even try to live blog the Microsoft press event
on the front page of Rister Teeth if we can figure it out.
That's cool.
We've talked to Ben about that.
I've been trying to.
He just hasn't been on one. But I've been trying to. He just hasn't been on one.
Uh, but uh, Ben trying to.
Ben trying to.
Oh, wow, wow.
And uh, that's about it.
Cool.
Alright?
Well, I guess we're going to have to have some people sit in for the podcast next week
because YouTube won't be here.
Oh, man, that's going to be rough.
Yeah, I'm going to miss the podcast that you got.
You can do a podcast with Brandon and Joel.
Maybe I should put a poll up and let people vote for who they want to, who they want to
be on here. You can be Monty, Brandon and Joel. That's my vote. Oh and let people vote for and who they want to who they want to be on here
I think we can be money Brandon and Joel. That's my vote. Oh wow. Yeah, that'd be fun. That would be a great best podcast ever
Well, we might have to issue people to one vote unfortunately. I'm telling you dude. I'd be happy to call in
I could probably work that out. Well, we're probably gonna be busy man. Give you updates
Yeah, but you're gonna be two hours ahead over there. Well, it's gonna be not a be gatties to be early
So it'll be 8 a.m. In LA
All right, I'll be trying to sleep. Hey, if anybody if anybody has any recommendations for where Jack and I should eat or an LA
