Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie, comes a 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,
Starting point is 00:00:40 twisted metal, streaming now now only on peacock Hey everyone welcome to the Rooster Teed podcast This is Bernie first Gustavo Lov Hi I'm Jack What happened to you mix alcohol and podcasting? Hey, how's everyone doing? Welcome to the gentlemen. I think craft work may have done our podcast theme song this week.
Starting point is 00:01:18 We are podcasts. I like the small little creature there laughing. It sells it without it. It sells the answer to things, right? What sells it to things though? I guess I haven't said this in a while. a small little creature there laughing without it. That was the hamster dance. What's that? I guess I haven't said this in a while. I should plug. If you would like to submit a theme song to us, you can send it to podcastatruscethease.com.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And make sure it has a little last eight months later. You might hear it. We're only seven months behind right now. Oh, OK. We're almost into the year 2010 submissions. Man, I'm almost caught up in my Aulu numbers. I think I just released 18 this week. And I think I have 22 done. Yeah, you better get a few more done. I'm almost caught up with my Aulu numbers. Like, I think I just released 18 this week, and I think I have 22 done.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah, you better get a few more done. I'm running a little low. I need more famous people to do numbers for me. Well, luckily, as luck would have it, Joel Heyman of Red vs. Blue. Hey, Joel, and you're right next to you. I was trying to sell Jack on the idea of just having a famous person just say like 20,
Starting point is 00:02:01 and then the rest that you could use that for all the 20s, or 30, and then apply to different people you can use that for all the 20s or 30 and then apply different people, you have 31, 32, right? But you still, they'll just make an extra person. You still need, you know, you need the 20, you know. But it would be, it'd be interesting, right? Yes. So interesting.
Starting point is 00:02:16 You see, you're an idea, guys, Joel. Break it down by syllables. I'd be confusing probably. Or you could just overdo the famous person, like just take the phone up, like the sounds from them and like dialogue in their movies or Whatever it's just about is creating as many cuts as humanly possible which equals more work get a photo of Gary Beauty and you can pitch together dialogue him saying whatever number you need there was a YouTube video where it was like Accounting video from one to a hundred using movie lines man. Thanks. It's gonna be a bitch to find a
Starting point is 00:02:43 YouTube a bitch I find. I know you two, but a bitch to find anywhere for the fucking way. That's bound to be easy to find though. Like you just search the right key terms or keywords. Oh really? I just have to search the right key terms. Thanks. You can always,
Starting point is 00:02:54 I'm fucking encyclopedia of knowledge back here. You can always tell the dude on the podcast, the dude who has to edit it. The podcast. The podcast, that's the podcast. That's the secret podcast. I'm gonna teach you how to work out the
Starting point is 00:03:05 rooster podcast blast so quad you can always tell the dude who has to cut this thing together because we just had like a catastrophic error we like lost all his great stuff I've come on and see me on talking on the waveform I'm just your waveform
Starting point is 00:03:23 yeah just mine just only has his waveform showing the rest of ours is minimal. Yeah, I feel like I can't talk now. Let's just wave form. So we had this catastrophic error and goes like, oh, wait, this catastrophic error, we have to go back. It's like we lost all this all this fantastic stuff that I'll never get to hear. But he went back to the queue, knew what he was talking about and immediately just went right back into it. In the same tone of voice. In the same tone of voice. So it's just going to be seamless.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Where is that? Except for not even running. Except for not even running. I undermined it all. I said something I shouldn't say, and I didn't get captured. This is awesome. We were talking about the Halo Bungie Day video. We were commenting today, the PS7, which is Bungie Day.
Starting point is 00:04:02 And which is a great video. And it's like, and I commented about how I was a little bit uncomfortable making certain references to the video and the game reach because I'm uncertain. I don't want to give up anything that shouldn't be given up. There's a lot of stuff in there. Which almost as if on cue, Jack then gave up something. Yeah, like, he just dropped the bomb. Like the big one.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh yeah, like it revealed the blank. He hit that hole like MS-Man. And I was like, great, that's the, I don't know what she has talking about. Can you prove any of this? Do you have this record? Oh, you don't have this record. I probably have a fucko.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I probably have a scratch file last time. I will look for it. That's good dig. I will find it. I will rearrange it once and zeroes to get that shit back. Well, we should talk about what is in that video. We should explain. OK. July 7th is Bungie Day. Yeah, that's why we didn't put out a video. Bungie Day is a celebration of all things Bungie and you know, the greatest game developer in the world.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Absolutely. And to celebrate, they invited us up and we made a video showing, I guess, the reveal of Blood Gulch in Hillary. Yay, Blood Gulch. Sweet memories. And that's the video that we released this week in place of a regular PSA. But not only was it just Blood Gulch, it was a few other things they hadn't shown yet. Like they showed the Falcon, which is the new plane or transport device. The pilot of the Falcon was voiced by Brian Gerard.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah, he did a sketch factor of really good job. Yeah, he was really funny. Yeah. And yeah, it was so it's the Falcon. It's the hologram Simmons. hologram. Or it felt the Falcon it's got the hologram Simmons hologram or as you said The how you read the halo gram halo gram found that on on bungee.net The let's see what else was in there the the rocket word hog. Oh the rocket or hog looks very very cool Yeah, that's gonna. That's awesome and other stuff. We're not gonna talk about
Starting point is 00:05:41 So does this mean every everything now on is going to be in Halo Reach? Huh? Huh? What does that mean? Does it mean that all we're thinking? No, my talk go from Taco Bell is not going to be in Halo Reach. All the red versus blue stuff, Jackass. Oh, that's going to be the question. Apparently, apparently there are Spartans in and reach. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know, what I'm most excited about, blood gold coming back, I will get a day loose of emails again with Gulch misspelled with a T inserted in it. I've kind of forgotten that joy of people spelling Gulch G-U-L-T-C-H and I'll be reminded of it all over again. That's a good that's a good point There's a lot a lot of great misspellings that we see in email and I think Gulch. One of my favorites. I
Starting point is 00:06:21 Can't I haven't really got to I mean I didn't go in the trips. I didn't get to sit down and really look at the map and But man I want to yeah, we None of us actually worked on the video. Oh, I saw it though Congratulations you and everyone on the internet saw the video Check out no one else who saw the videos on the podcast. I was jumping ahead out there. You're talking with a map I actually got to see you with bro. No, I'll check. None of us who were here on the podcast actually worked on the video.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Bernie and Jeff got invited up to to bungee to work on that. And fortunately, Jeff's out of the office and Bernie's down at a meeting for the new building right now. I was really hoping we'd get him in here to talk about the creation a bit. Not a bit. Not a bit. Maybe we should have invited someone else who's seen the video. I'm sure we can find someone at the Cockish out next door. Ask anyone if they have you seen the bunch of video coming in the podcast. It's not to be someone. They've got laptops over there.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Hey, Gus was a our prediction was wrong yesterday. Yeah, we did that achievement hunter video. Was that was the Netherlands Uruguay game? Yeah, no, no, no, we had Uruguay winning. But we also had players on Uruguay who were already out. Yes, Swarish, but not have Uruguay game. Yeah, no, no, no, no, we had Uruguay winning, but we also had players on Uruguay who were already out. Yes, Swarish, it not have been in that game with the huge mistake. I did the online update for that game to like make sure the roster is for current, I
Starting point is 00:07:32 guess it didn't take Swarish out. Yeah, so like, do you think that everything that is in FIFA soccer is in that game? Like in other words, do you have situations where you can just take a put, you have like a flop button. You like push a button and you do, goes, oh, it falls off injured. Oh, why? There should be a flop button, I think.
Starting point is 00:07:51 There should be a flop. And also, they're like, like, like, someone scores a goal. And then the ref walks up and goes, no, I'm sorry. I'm not adding a goal. I wasn't a goal. Nothing count. That's not, seems like that probably needs to be in the game. I'm just, I just, I have so much personal angst
Starting point is 00:08:06 Against like sports miss calls like that. Where especially we have the technology I just I don't I still have not heard one legitimate argument. I like the people who say like oh you can't add Insta replay in a soccer because you know all the all these you know smaller soccer field you can't have Insta replay there. It's like this is FIFA. This is the world cup. You can make exceptions for the most premier games ever or over the past four years. Right. It's like, why not have in this a replay there? Why not why not have a goal line judge who sits there like a hockey? It doesn't make any sense to me. They ever since the, you know, with all the controversy this time around, FIFA said they're going gonna review their policy about
Starting point is 00:08:46 having like goal line tracking technology like putting the chip in the ball to be able to tell when it does cross the line or when it doesn't yeah which seems like a really right i mean let's use all this stuff i don't understand why we can't use technology and it just doesn't make any sense they're have got to be ways that you could do it without slowing the game down like it just doesn't make any sense. They're have got to be ways that you could do it without slowing the game down. Like, someone scores a goal,
Starting point is 00:09:07 you know, and there's always like a two minute celebration after that. You can take that two minutes when everyone's celebrating until like, quick look at the footage, you like, did that count? Did that not count? Yeah, and I mean, I don't really understand. I mean, does it slow the game down?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Yeah, does it take that? I mean, even if it does slow the game down, is it that much? I mean, is it really that hard to look? I mean, I don't. I have some beef too. I say if a player gets taken off the field on a stretcher and then pops back up and starts running around, immediate red card. They can't play that game. That's ridiculous. Like, that hasn't been that bad. This happened. I happened to gona
Starting point is 00:09:37 game. Well, literally, the guy fell down on his own and then they carted him off and it was like, he just snuffed off him. You walked away. I can understand how there's, you know, I don't know, injury, I don't know. That happened actually in my, uh, spain German simulation. Oh, really? Someone got injured, got carted off the field, then he immediately came back on the game. You know, for me, I'm not a huge soccer guy. So for me, the best thing about the World Cup is watching the dudes like fake the injuries
Starting point is 00:10:04 and then later some other person on the internet creating like fake animations, you know watch the guys fall over I was a grisly shot by snipers and they're like oh Exactly. Oh God. Why I think the greatest thing about the World Cup are the the women in the stands Have you seen like the the videos and photos of the what was it? What was it deal with like the short skirt deal and like people were angry like the videos and photos of the what was it there? What was it deal with like the short skirt deal and like people were angry like the look the
Starting point is 00:10:27 some group South African government had some group of women showed up that they were supposedly fans for a team but it turned out they were actually like they were paid models to wear some shirt or some I don't know what it was. Really? I didn't hear the story.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Did you hear that? It was like the first first year round. I'll see when find it for you. Did you see the girl who she's got to run naked through the streets? Yeah, that's that's I don't know. It was like the first- He modeled her she round. I'll see when I find it for you. Did you see the girl who she's going to run naked through the streets? Yeah, that's ridiculous about the World Cup. Is that attention whores have a global stage now.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's like there's some hot chick wearing a low-cut top with a cell phone between her boobs. And now everyone in the world knows her name. And she's from Paraguay. And has seen naked pictures of her. And she will get naked again. Yes. And she had the Axelogo on her boob. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I'm sure. It was like Axe Body Spray. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Pretty awesome. Wow, dude. Or as they call it in the UK, links. We're making that. I remember like a while ago, we're slowly making that transition over to sort of European sensibilities when it comes to advertising. What was just blatant sexuality?
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah, yeah, which I don't have a problem. I don't have a problem with it either. I don't have a problem with anything. I made a joke. I feel bitter because I made a joke about Jack making a map for G-Minhunter that required the services of Lewis and Clark. Yeah, we didn't talk that we're doing this late today because my alarm didn't go off. Yeah, and by the way, I mentioned this, in the history of the world, no alarm has ever failed to go off. You slipped through it. You know what would probably happen. No, I've been working on this map now for well over a week here, so. And my sleep schedule is so messed up because I've been working on this map now for well over a week or so. And it might sleep schedule so messed up,
Starting point is 00:12:05 because I've been working on this thing like nonstop. I think what happened was I woke up and in a state of zombie like trance, I turned off my alarm and I'm immediately fell back. Yeah, I believe. But what always happens is people offload the responsibility. It's not, I turned the alarm off and went back to sleep. It's the alarm didn't go off.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's like everyone absolves themselves of wrongdoing. Yeah, my internal clock woke me up and was like 11 I think 1110 and I immediately texted Gus like shit. I'm sorry We we had the deal when we were in L.A. where we had the rolling blackouts and Yeah, I mean my alarm clock would You know it clear, you know what I mean and which you get the argument like how come you don't have a battery in your alarm clock To which my argument is shut up shut up or why didn't you Why don't you sit the alarm on your phone or something like that? That was back before we had phones. Oh, okay Back when folks were just used to talk to you. We just had to shout each other
Starting point is 00:12:58 When you have to call the operator and give me and say like give me 25 Exactly, that's exactly right. We all fall in place There you go. That's her. That's the. The pair of white fat. So everyone right now, be looking at their bottom left corner by two. Still wants to get naked. How it would be nice to be that cell phone. Whoa. Women will never fully appreciate the power that they wield. Yeah. Like, oh, I have to do is take my clothes off and get international attention I don't know how gust it but Gus has like eight awesome photos of this girl already
Starting point is 00:13:31 I mean it's not my doing I didn't fun go take a picture I just look up up on the internet Man that's awesome I love the internet and it's funny it's like for for men like if Jack took off his clothes He would have like the opposite effect there be a swap team here in like 15 seconds The alarm the silent alarm and our although I do believe out of the three of us in this room Gus is the only one with a naked photo on the internet. All right As far as I know well you sponsored by accident You got robbed It's all the timing man. You had you done during the world. You know what's interesting is
Starting point is 00:14:01 And you had your damage earned the world. You shouldn't have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come.
Starting point is 00:14:09 You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come.
Starting point is 00:14:17 You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited for the world to come. You should have waited because it would be great to like get them to do the same exact thing.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I was making the exact same spots. I think they may have hired a professional pit sitter. No. Too bad they didn't hire that girl from Uruguay. Yeah. Paraguay. Paraguay. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Uruguay. Paraguay, there's two of them. There you go. This is like your little mnemonic device to remember. That's it. So, okay. There you go. This is like your little mnemonic device to remember. Okay, so we know Germany is going to be in the World Cup. Not Germany, excuse me. The Netherlands is going to be in the World Cup final. And our video says that Spain is going to be Germany today, later today,
Starting point is 00:15:00 which is possible. And we're talking about sports in the podcast. Yeah, fuck it. People are going to appear in that one sports. So, uh, so who do you think, do you think, do you think either of the team Spain or Germany could be? It's a shame more important because I think Spain and Germany up until now have probably, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands are definitely the three best teams of the cup. Okay. And of the three, I think Spain and Germany have had two best showings. So that's almost like the final to me. Okay I think either Spain or Germany could beat the Netherlands
Starting point is 00:15:29 It's just gonna be a matter of they have to play each other first. Alright, so I figured tomorrow will put up our World Cup prediction video Yeah, potentially that sound good You can also have to simulate the the runner-up game as well. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true. Third-place game Dude, those people being on nuts for those videos. You could probably put up videos using Grand Theft Auto, you know, of like the players from the World Cup that make mistakes, and then you could show them like they can run over by cars. Show it like this will be the prediction video for like, you know, for that dude who scored on his own team or whatever. That happened? Like predicting the future. That's happening a couple of, and they're all
Starting point is 00:16:02 dead, right, Gus? It doesn't happen every time what it has happened in the future. That's happening a couple of, and they're all dead, right, Gus? It doesn't happen every time, but it has happened in the past. But there's gotta be, there's gotta be dudes dying every, every World Cup, right? That anger. Like Brazil, Brazil's out of it. You know that's like probably, you know, for death right there. I think Brazil fired their coach.
Starting point is 00:16:18 You think that, I think. Now when you say fired their coach, do you mean like, you know that, a job? Or did they light him on fire? Who's the squad? like, you know, a job? Or did they light him on fire? Who's the squad? Yes, you know, you know, those things where they're calling right now. No, no, he's, he's still alive as far as I know. He was last seen entering the Amazon rainforest. No, you know, you know, you know, it's statistically speaking, if you're like a soccer player in Brazil, like the insurance, the personal liability insurance
Starting point is 00:16:42 for yourself has to be high. You know, the players I'll be concerned about, the personal liability insurance for yourself has to be high. You know the players I'll be concerned about the North Korea players that went live on they're on the national TV for the first time ever and got destroyed 0-7. And what was like their best player was like a guy from Japan, is that right guys? Who's never seen North Korea before? Oh right, right, yeah. That sounds about right. This feels like a comedy to me like having the North Korean soccer team. Apparently they came out and they said it was actually like a conspiracy to keep them out of the finals. Like there was a whole those whole article about it. Like North Korea North Korea, the North Korea propaganda said that was actually like the West had like swapped their players out for words players or something, it's something ridiculous. Like, I would have liked to have seen earlier. It's always right.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I would have liked to have seen all the different strategies utilized by all the North Korean players to try and like, the fact. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. How does any time a North Korean like citizen gets outside of the border, how do they not immediately just like run? They're normally not allowed outside of the border.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I know, but I mean, when they are in the... They probably had handlers around them constantly with weapons of some nature right Well, I mean plus also they'll do things like Threaten their families that are still back home Yeah, yeah, you know, you you know, even if you match to escape They're gonna put your family and your extended family into like a prison camp Yeah, and your neighbor just for that right? Our I think actually they when they that, they do that for several generations.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Like if someone leaves, they put your family, they put your extended family in the camp, and then it goes on for five generations. Jesus Christ. It's a weird deal, you know, because it's like if you're North Korean citizen and you've been had all that propaganda dumped on you from the day you were born and you genuinely believe
Starting point is 00:18:22 your country is the best, currently in the world you have to add a and then you go outside your country and you look around like what's that process like is there that moment where it's like hey wait a minute you see those propaganda posters all these people are eating you see the propaganda posters of like the US soldiers killing North Koreans like that they have plastered all over North Korea. Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty. You know, they, I don't know if you guys know this, but you know, I'm sure you know, this
Starting point is 00:18:51 part that Kim Jong-il's like a big film buff and he's directed some movies in the past and whatnot. But there were for a while there were, I want to say, four US soldiers who had defected to North Korea. That's right, yep. And they were always cast as the eviled to North Korea. That's right, yep. And they were always cast as the evil Americans. And in North Korea, moving really. Yeah, you would always be like the evil American general
Starting point is 00:19:12 or the evil American soldier. There was a 60 minutes. They were really well known. Oh, yeah, they're famous. Are they still up there? I think two of them are still alive. One of them had a kid, you know, and the kid is just, I mean, it's like the rock stars. Yeah, of the two that are still alive, one of them had a kid, you know, and the kid is just, I mean, it's like the rock stars.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah, of the two that are still alive, one of them defected. And that's right. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out.
Starting point is 00:19:36 He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out.
Starting point is 00:19:44 He got out. He got out. He got out. He got out? They have it. They have it. Do you have an extreme? Oh really? That's how I learned about this. Oh, that's great. I'll have to look up the name of the documentary, but it's really good. It was available on streaming like six months ago. What, like, is it vice online? The internet thing where it's like a non-biased news reporting?
Starting point is 00:19:58 They had a thing about the movie studios in North Korea, where like a guy, it was like a five-part series talking about the North Korea movie studios. That was really really really good. Yeah, that's the thing like if you're in a country like that, the budget is basically divided into two things. Weapons and propaganda stuff, which is why I just have like movies and stuff and it's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You got also I have a piece of your budget set aside for like luxury items though. Like for a while Kim Jong Jung Il was the world's largest importer of Hennessy. That's awesome. And giant sunglasses. Yeah, and he also had a like a giant fleet of Mercedes-Benz. I think it was Benzes. It's like whatever ridiculous item that you can like derive from Western society, they all those guys have it. Yeah. You got you got I mean that that's what the whole system is based on is you have to have a core group of people who are you know taking care of in a very luxurious manner in order to repress everyone else. You have to have that core people who are incentive to keep the
Starting point is 00:20:56 system the way it is. Yeah, it's within their interest I guess right. Right. That's how Cuba is right. I don't know like I'm gonna have to keep that like society going. These people ever see a quote unquote free Cuba. Yes, yeah, I think it's our already swung while I feel like it's already swung wildly in the last five to ten years. It has and I think you'll continue to see well they like that was a talking point during like I remember Obama and Hillary Clinton debating that and the the primary stuff where they were talking about like would you talk to Cuba? possibly it's a funny thing though right because it's like I mean Fidel Castro is either dead at this point maybe or dying and who knows you know
Starting point is 00:21:36 I guess they've been making that power shift to his brother for a while now but um is that gonna be old too right? No yeah yeah they have I, I think, runs the day-to-day operations at Cuba. But the co-observation I was going to make is isn't it curious that like this is happening at the same time, like in North Korea and Cuba, it's like you've got these alien, you know, you know, God-like figures in their country who are like trying to transition the power away from themselves. Is Kim Dal-Mail doing that? Yeah. He's trying to transition it to one of his thoughts. It seems like in the world of dysfunctional countries,
Starting point is 00:22:08 it seems like North Korea's way worse off than Cuba. Yeah, I think so too. What, you know? Well, Kim Dow-Mail was sick recently, right? Like, he was really sick? It's speculated that they had a stroke like two and a half years ago, I think. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:23 It must be, I can't imagine the control over the media like they have in those countries. I don't know if I've said this in the podcast before, but another document, I've seen a ton of documentaries about North Korea by the way. Another documentary I saw showed how like every, how every dwelling where people live in North Korea, they all have like a speaker, like a radio in them with a speaker, and you can never turn the radio off. Like it's just constantly on and constantly giving you news and propaganda. It's so fun too, because it's literally like a box
Starting point is 00:22:52 on the wall has a little circle with a little speaker. It's like, if you were to like create one little icon of what propaganda is, it's like a perfect, it's like when I went to elementary school, it was like the speaker that the principles and announcements came over in the morning. It's funny too, because they're always announcing what they're going to be having for lunch. Okay, chicken, that's not the menu today.
Starting point is 00:23:12 You've dirt. That would be more funny if they actually had food in North Korea to feed their citizens, but you know... This is an interesting topic of conversation for a video game podcast. I mean, I don't know. If only they had like some sort of sim. interesting topic of conversation for a video game podcast If only they had like some sort of sim I'm gonna reclassify us to go up against the McLaughlin group now Political analysis and use we got to take out NPR right so we guys are getting topical and political We got started to have to the How is the NPR stuff in the games and hobbies category of iTunes.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Do they really? They're the the joke or not. Games and hobbies? Yeah, the weight weight don't tell me podcast is like what? What games are they talking about? The weight weight don't tell me podcast. And I think it's like a it's like a game show. Oh, I see him.
Starting point is 00:24:00 So it's like they okay. That's boring. Yeah. You know, it's wildly popular apparently More so than us I can't imagine why maybe we should be our Disable we should come up with little puzzles. This is what we need to cover with little puzzles every week You know, and then we give the answer on the following podcast Right that's how it works. What we need to do is I start having fun drives that you don't like Weeks of weeks of programming every year.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Surely you guys have talked about Zach and what's going on with him. No, we should. We have a little bit, but I think Bertie really wants to talk about him. Yeah, what do we want to say? Do we want to go all out? I don't know. Should we talk about this? Yeah, sure. Why not? It's a podcast. All right, so Zach Anner is a kid from Austin, Texas. I think it's 24. And he is in this contest. It's the My Oprah contest, but your own show on the new My Oprah channel, or Oprah's channel, whatever, her new TV channel she's making. And she's running a contest to look for hosts for, like, first shows for her network.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And Zach Anner, who's this kid with cerebral palsy, he put up a video and it's a really clever, funny video. Yeah, it's him talking about what his show would be, like initially talked about, he wanted to do a cooking show and then he wanted to do a yoga show. Ultimately, it turns out he wants to do a travel show for people who thought they could never travel. And his video is pretty damn funny. Yeah, it's a clever, funny guy.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And it was one of those things that the internet caught wind of it and it exploded like a like fart dig Forchan all these sites caught it and sort of he became like there They're beacon of who they wanted to see when so these boats are it's funny because a couple weeks Prior to all this we actually had him in one of our shorts. Yeah, you can see him in the background It's the trapdoor short. Yeah, yeah, he was, yeah, he's in the background of the restaurant. Yeah, it's funny because you only say, it's so dumb, you know, I wish we had a more prominently featured, you know, but it's just, you can see for a split second. He's like, he's a funny good guy. No, he's funny. Yeah, his video is actually really funny. Yeah. And so anyway, so his video hit the internet and it exploded and it got a few,
Starting point is 00:26:07 like a couple million views and he had no idea what was going on and then he came back to town like he went to Dallas or something and his brother showed him video and like he was like, oh my god, it's amazing. And like John Mayer, like linked it in his blog and then Zach went and thanked everybody and then John Mayer said, okay, you know, if you do get this show, I'm gonna do the theme song for you. So it's like okay multi-million-selling
Starting point is 00:26:29 musician will do his theme song for his TV show and Caram, I believe he's in the lead now by over a million votes, right? From what I can tell he's 900,000 votes ahead and it looks like The voting's done. They're just waiting to make the votes official. Oh really? Yeah. Well, that's always a tricky process when it comes to the internet, isn't it? Yeah, it's always a tricky process. So let's count them. And also what's come out now what they're gonna do is take the top five highest vote getters and they're gonna fill my reality show with them Or some sort of show with them like well, he's definitely got to be a man Yeah, for sure him him doctor. I mean, I can't they have no way to sort the top vote getters but it looks like him Dr. Phyllis and some Jacqueline chick let's see here let me see if I can look at
Starting point is 00:27:12 it but anyway yeah and so congratulations goes to Zach he's he's a part of Mark the beard which is a group we work with every now and then and then they put together a like sort of a demo of what his show would be. And so there's like a three-part series on YouTube sort of like of him and Austin touring around different Austin areas. Yeah, I saw the one where he went to the Capitol. It was pretty good. Yeah, he did the Capitol. He did Mount Benel, which is pretty funny. Oh, I didn't watch that one. Yeah, and that's when we're a Chris, I'd drag him up the stairs.
Starting point is 00:27:41 All right. I've seen the video. The Capitol one ends with them getting them out but no and then I didn't I didn't watch the next one. I don't think it was out yet when I saw that one. Alright, here we go. We get the total votes. It's a... Zack looks like Zack one with 9.1 million Dr. Phyllis was number two with 8.2 million. Then Jacqueline was 7 million Stasia with 6.3 and something called Cornelius with 5.9 million. So those are the top five.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And yeah, so now it says that they'll be announced top five, they'll get announced top five online finalists and oh, they'll join 35 other finalists chosen from open casting calls and then do age. And then the producers will select 10 from this group of 40 to have their own show. So if Zach has a win something is horribly wrong. Quite a vetting process. So the internet gets to pick five then the producers get to pick 35 and then the producers get to pick the 10.
Starting point is 00:28:40 It's like quite even have the voting. When I just have a casting call. Because to me they, it sounds like they should just have a reality show based on the process I will be amazed if anyone from the internet voting gets gets through if the producers get to pick the 10 what's the fucking point I mean every every every reality shows about weird vetting process yeah I mean that's all I don't know I'm going to bet the Zackle make it just just because of the good willies earn I mean he's been on things like people are really yeah really behind me. He's been on Fox news already
Starting point is 00:29:07 He's been interviewed on he's on G4. He's done all kinds of interviews already people approaching him to talk to him So I can't imagine that they wanted bring him on well say I'm just very skeptical of the whole secret our producers Yeah, the cast process Do you remember when they did that with what was that? What was that show the comedian show last time? I'm expanding it. Yeah, what's his name? Drew Carrey and Brett Butler, right?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Yeah, they both walked off the show. Yeah, because that, what happened? They rigged the voting. Like the comedian panel was supposed to decide who went on into the house. Into the house, like for the reality show portion. And none of the people they voted for made it through. It turned out it was the producers who were arranging it.
Starting point is 00:29:43 This is a funny thing nowadays, where it's like basically if you put something on the air on a cable channel, and it's like the cameras are handheld, and you're dealing with real people, you don't have to say this is based in reality. The audience just assumes this reality. Like you look at like the dude from Kiss,
Starting point is 00:29:59 the Gene Simmons thing, that is all fixed. All that stuff. I don't know what to say. I was watching one episode of that a long time ago and I was like, oh there's my buddy hang out a buddy mind hanging out with Gene Simmons like that's that's strange I didn't know that he was friends with Gene Simmons and I talked to him like two weeks later he's like, oh yeah I got cast in this thing. It's the episode where she where the where the wife wants to like get married and so if he doesn't agree to marry
Starting point is 00:30:26 She's gonna marry someone else like my buddy was like guy It's like oh, I didn't know you were getting married Lot less summer in LA when Bernie and Matt were out there and I was living out there that we had we had dinner at a place and Like all of a sudden this crew kind of showed up. They started setting up lights and everything and they were sort of Ranging the stuff for this one booth and then the Kardashian sisters walked in. Nice. That was like they had prepped it for them.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I was like, okay, here's our next scene. And then they are, they all walked in. They had their stuff. I've never seen that Gene Simmons show. I watched one show once. I think we were on a commercial trip. I did, yeah. And like, it was like, I think Gene Simmons was in Las Vegas
Starting point is 00:31:00 and his like, kiss suit got misplaced and the hotel had lost it. And he's like walking around the hotel looking for it And it's just like a dude wearing his outfit and a bunch of dudes like dancing around with him in the bed Like in the in the in the inner of the hotel and you find him is like give me my suit. It's like come on What the fuck that was a thing? Like I'm in any reality show that you're watching. It's like you know I'm kind of mildly entertained. This is sort of is wait a minute
Starting point is 00:31:24 Wait a minute. It was like the survivor like there was two shows on this every channel There's like survivor man and the survivor man was like this Canadian guy who would go out of the wilderness and suffer He would suffer. There's like no food. He's out there for like a week He's not it's terrible and then there's another show Man versus wild which is watch this guy, and this guy was like an English Special Forces guy, and he would go out there and kick ass. He would kick and it would be interesting.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Interesting shit would happen to him. Oh, look at this. Halfway dead sheep. Wow, less is convenient. I'll just deal with it. I don't know what accident I'm doing right now. But, and then the interesting is, it sure enough fixed. Yeah, really?
Starting point is 00:32:03 It was too interesting. You know, it's like, it's funny too, because you want those shows. You'll be like, man, this guy, this one English guy, that dude knows what he's doing. This Canadian dude must be just completely incompetent. No. Canadian guy was just actually doing it. Yeah, he didn't have help.
Starting point is 00:32:16 It wasn't a producer off camera handing him water and beef jerky. And creating interesting scenarios. It's fun. Remember the show Curb Your Enthusiasm? Yeah. Where basically I worked on that show for just a couple times. Basically, I remember the dude who was the producer of the lead guy. Basically, it's just like you said, it's like there would be a restaurant and they would
Starting point is 00:32:34 sort of, they'd have the camera set and they'd sort of talk the scenario and then they would just kind of be in the moment and play it out to see what would happen. They'd play it out and they'd go, okay, let's try it this way now. I'll say this you say this will go like this. Well, blah blah blah blah It's funny now that we're to the point now where curbury enthusiasm, which is a narrative is basically almost the same thing right as Reality, you know, I don't know. I haven't I've seen the Cardiastic show or anything like that, but you know Who knows you know first? What does I love Kim Kardashian? You think I'd watch that show a little more on that? I've never seen that show.
Starting point is 00:33:05 It's like, I've watched a show where it's like, like Deadly's Catch, like a Madeleines Catch guy. It's like, you watch Deadly's Catch, you watch Kim The Kim Kardashian show. You know what, just, let's just take Kim Kardashian and put her on a crap. Let's just, I wanna see that show. That's the show I wanna see.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Let's just merge, like the best aspect of every reality show and put them all together I mean, it's like I I want to do this guy this week like one of the dudes died He had a what he died it was oh you're talking about at least kept a captain fill if you want to show he had a You had a stroke or something hard to cover Yeah, and it's like it is like I'm not sure the fourth of his season the show or whatever and so you're kind of a tat you know to the guy and it's like He's on a boat with his family, you know his two sons and it's like and and you're watching some of this footage And it's like they do the sort of MTV thing where they've got sort of the
Starting point is 00:33:58 Sad heartful song going on, you know, and it's like captain fill laying in a bed and they got the the heartful song going on, you know, and it's like Captain Phil laying in a bed and they got the the heart full song going on and the sons are there and you're like and you feel you know to me it was like being punched in the face like wow this is incredibly powerful stuff but then you think you know I know it's like sitting in an editing board and edit something and if you think some dude sat in an editing board going through raw footage of Captain Phil sitting in a hospital bed dying. You know, and what's the most heartfelt emotion? This is, and it's like, okay, well let's put this music over it. Yeah, that works.
Starting point is 00:34:35 It's like, is this shot satir or is this shot satir? Yeah, exactly, right? It's like, maybe assistant editor that has sit through all that raw tape and watch every bit of it, and it's like, when you know how that process is, it's like, God, this is like heartless. You know, and then on top of it all, after that episode, it was just crack that. I'm passionate about it. They have a show because they got a ring in on the ratings. They have a show called After the Catch, which is a show where they sit all the captains down and they talk about what was going on there. You know, and it's like, and it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:04 they bring the sons and it's like, so your dad died, huh? You know, sponsored by Cors, it's like, you know, no, no, no, no, no, I mean, I understand that that show was probably filmed, you know, six months maybe year after that had actually happened, but it's like, and you see this guy, you know, asking the kid doing his best to try and make the situation not as horribly awkward as it is, huh? You know, trying to light it up and it's just like, I don't know, man. I don't know. It's rough. Yeah. It's rough. Anyways, not to go off on a rant.
Starting point is 00:35:37 No, no, that's good. That's, that's, that's what the drunk tank is for Joel. That's, we made a podcast because we got so many rants in the office. They just had to get out to the world. That's right. We made a podcast because we got so many rants in the office, they just had to get out to the world. That's right. Yeah, and it's just like, I can't help but for me, the podcast is nothing more than a vehicle that for like seven years from now. So I'm just going to pull out some audio footage of what I'm saying on the podcast. It's going to bite me and he asks, that's all that it is.
Starting point is 00:36:01 It's just like, Joel, you're a hypocrite. See what you said seven years ago. People change, man. People change. Just remember that. Yeah, that's all that it is. It's just like Joel your hypocrite see what you said seven years ago people change man People change just remember that I mean I know I know like any chance of like the White House is dead for me now I'm not making that run. It's over Oh, hey, so to sort of bring things to a circle here So did you see the Justin Bieber World tour voting thing on the internet? Yeah, I heard about that and saw that he's going to North Korea. Yeah North North Korea one
Starting point is 00:36:35 That is Did you read that article? There was an article or video Leakin, it's not good. There's an article or video released by the onion talking about how they like sort of Manufacture stars. It's like you need these elements to like basically create a wet way to be a real article right? God bless the onion man. It's like the Justin Divers is nothing more than like a result of those articles. I Don't know Yeah, I mean who cares? Why are you even talking about. I don't know. I mean, I'm honestly who cares? Why are you even talking about it? I don't know. I don't know. If this is where we're at as a society, maybe North Korea is right.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Jesus, we all need to die it. Stop listening to Justin Bieber. Did you all see that video that someone from our site made Jedi fan 421 where you compared the original red visibility to the remastered TV. I did that was really really cool of them Yeah, it's a great. They're gonna make sure to link them that yeah I got a original footage and showed you how much better the remastered stuff looks next to it like side by side You know it's shot for shot and It's it's a great comparison I think, for people who don't necessarily understand what the Remastered DVD is all about.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Shoot, I didn't realize how good it was until I saw it down the wall. Yeah. That really is. It's shocking how, like, how different it is and how much better. You can see all the characters' facial expressions. Now, and understand exactly the motivation behind this. It's crazy looking at the original, like, the original disc and how it's letter boxed and pillar boxed.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I thought you got like a tiny little rectangle of entertainment in the middle of like a black galaxy. You know what we should do to sell one of those DVDs is with every product that we sell, just sell like a front like a cardboard cut out frame which has like a plastic stamp. So I say, you just lay this over your screen and watch. This is what it's really good.
Starting point is 00:38:27 We'll put pictures of that and make it girlfriend Paraguay all over the postage set. Exactly. Exactly. So it's entertainment everywhere. So I'm talking to Jeff right now, V.A.M. He's in Edinburgh. And he says, left, Freud, and I say hi from Edinburgh.
