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,

twisted metal, streaming now now only on peacock Short and sweet I like it. Yeah, no sir. We got a Jeff Bernie Jack and Gus in here this week. Hello. Hattie. Hello. How are y'all doing? Good. Good. How are you doing, Gus? I've had a long, a long few days, but look, look, things to start on look better. I was telling Gus this morning, I feel like I'm ruining our friendship because every time I talk to him, it's the tell him that I can't log into the site. Or he can, he'll tell me incorrectly. He's like, I can't log into the site Or he'll he'll tell me incorrectly. He's like I can't log into the site I'm like can you hit the site? He's like oh, I can't hit the site

To be fair I was trying I could hit the site this morning and I tried to log in and it was like churning in the background And then I let him know 10 minutes later and at that point the site had then gone down on top of it But initially I just hadn't gone back to check to see if the site was still up But did you read about there was some dude in San Francisco who just went to jail for hoarding the passwords for the San Francisco city servers? Yeah, I think we had talked about it when he did it initially When he's busted. Yeah, he had locked everyone. He was a contractor who had locked everyone out of I guess the company or the citywide infrastructure that he had built and implemented. I guess he got sent it to four years, I think four years in prison. Well, that'd be a lesson to you. You can't do that.

He changed the password and everyone and then wanted money in order to give them the password to unlock the services. So what was he busted for extortion? I don't remember exactly what he went to prison for. I'd have to look that up. Yeah, it seems like a thing that system administrators have said, well, they fired me. Well, good luck getting your passwords.

Like, no, it's not good luck. It's the law. And they will get them. It's the passwords are not your property. You're not withholding them from anyone. In my previous corporate life, we had a situation like that. It wasn't for us, but it was for somebody we knew or someone we had a business relationship with.

Would they went through that with a technical person. That was the fastest I have ever seen a judge move in my life. Oh really? Yeah. I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't 12 hours before they had a whatever, you know, so Ritter, Sapina, I don't know exactly what it was, but this guy was getting them back or he was going to jail. That's crazy. Yeah, he wasn't going to hold this company stuff hostage. And think a weird thing, this week is like the week of weird quitting stuff. How's that? I think about the jet jet blue guy and the dry erase board chick?

Oh, that was fake by the way, but it doesn't matter. Yeah people I was talking about that on Twitter We were talking about people's reactions to the dry erase board chick and my reaction was Yes, it's very very funny. I would never hire this girl right I would never hire somebody who I know that She didn't was he was even fired. She was quitting. She quit and then people kept pointing out to me or to say hey It's fake. That's fake. It's like that doesn't matter It doesn't fake it's people's reactions is saying this is so cool This is so bad ass what this girl did that's the interesting thing is that people think this is bad ass Not the fact that it's real or fake right you can still discuss something that's fake

But fake I'm in there. It's a big deal once it's fake then everything goes that though Yeah, I'll let the window she got back at him by destroying her credibility as a employee Way to burn bridges okay, some great references out of that job and it was amazing when I asked that on On Twitter and her site I forget where I asked it, but a bunch of people said yeah, I'd hire why wouldn't I she's good at her job? Why wouldn't I hire that stupid? Those are people who cannot hire anyone who are saying that to you by the end Yeah, no getting these are people who have no input on the hiring this on the hiring process I guarantee you I'd hire and then six months from now I'd go off fuck fuck

Yeah, when I'm the butt of the joke on the internet when you hire people at a company One of the biggest Underlying qualifications is is this person give me a hassle? I'm like is this gonna like is this person gonna give me a hassle? Am I just gonna, is this person gonna make my life harder? It's not something that ever comes up in the interview. It's like, are you weird? Are you a strange person? How crazy are you?

Is this crazy gonna cause me trouble? And the people who are gonna hire her are all bosses. You know, they don't wanna deal with employees like that. Exactly. The employees don't get together and go, she's cool, let's vote her into the company. This isn't Whole Foods. I gotta say that the girl with the dry erase board thing, I didn't identify with her at all, the guy on the jet blue flight. What do you know the stage? Yeah. Slater or something?

Steve and Slater. This goes back to what we talked about. What we've been talking about the past few weeks, the fucking rules on the airplane Yep, the rules are there for a reason some of the fucker thinks he's above the rules Getting up all the planes taxing pulling his back down hitting people in the fucking head Is that what yeah the plane was still taxing and the guy got up on the fuck up and starts pulling out of his luggage the dude the Taylor comes over right at 10 slide it in it comes over and it's like hey you you can't do that The guy hits him in the head with the bag and then tells him to fuck off and so the guys like as he was pulling the bag out of the overhead Ben that's not like he whipped his background right now

It just fell on the flight attendant and then the guy was so indignant. He was like fuck you I'm not gonna fall the rules. So guys like all right cool. I've had enough It's the 15th fucking time. This has happened to me this week I've had to deal with some son of a bitch who can't observe basic rules. You know, he's not getting up to playing any faster. Oh, it's fucking important. The door's gotta have him. Yeah, he's gotta have his bag first.

239 other people on that plane, not nearly as important as this fucking guy. Guess what? The door's still fucking closed on the plane? I'll never understand that, Gus. Why do people rush to stand in the aisle? I know, it's crammed in with everybody else. You're not getting off. You rush to stand in the eye? I know it's crammed in with everybody else You're not getting off you got a weight in line But what you I mean the flight attendant has an extraordinary amount of power there I mean he could have probably had big eye thrown in jail

He could have handled it properly who the steward is the flight attendant the steward steward steward attendant well, he can no, but he could have, I mean, if he's going to have a reaction, most of the time, it's like, okay, buddy, you want to stand up, you would just endanger everyone on this plane. What? You're going to get to spend the next three hours talking with Homeland Security. I'm just tuning Skylaw. Yeah, attendants have a lot of power. They do. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if an attendant says you're getting off this plane, you're getting booted, you get booted, it's just going to happen. Yeah, he definitely, you know, it's a funny story. Why don't we should probably explain what happened for those 10 people out there who haven't heard this story.

Yeah, so after that happened, the, the steward walked back to the PA, picked up the PA, cursed out the entire plane. He didn't curse out the entire plane. He did, he did. He cursed, but he didn't curse at everyone in the plane. But he's on the PA. He said to the motherfucker who just told me to fuck off. You know, thanks. It's been a good 20 plane. But he's on the PA. He said to the motherfucker who just told me to fuck off. You know, thanks. It's been a good 20 years. Then he grabbed a couple of beers. This is the best part of the whole story to me.

And he popped the emergency float and fucking slid the shoot. Slid down it with the was car. Got this car drove home and got arrested. At that point, that's when I would start to slow clap at the back of the plane. I missed that building clap. Yeah, it was great publicity for JetBlue. I mean, their names everywhere now.

And I don't think people are looking at this in a negative light. What was the, where were the two from on that flight? It had landed in New York. I think it was landed in Kennedy. I don't know where it's coming from. Yeah, it was definitely Kennedy. Mm-hmm.

That dude was in New Yorker then. Yeah, it just explains a lot. Yeah was a New Yorker then. Yeah, it explains a lot. Yeah I think and people on the the plane that they were interviewing said I wish I could And you know they were held a big time. Oh, you pop that emergency slide I guarantee everyone's not just walking off the plane as soon as that guy does that no They're gonna sit in the seats for another fucking hour Which is like the ultimate revenge for that store too. Like that dude that had to have this bag because he's in such a fucking hurry.

He's got an extra hour on that plane because of that. And he probably had to fucking talk to cops and the whole thing, you know. And every other passenger is snaring at that guy because he got no one else to direct their irats. Right. So it's like thanks, Dickhead. I bet it was a great hour for that dude or however long. I'm sure he's just fine. I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck people come nuts on planes. They do is definitely like who is the dude?

Who was the dude really rich guy was the rock star? That he just lost his mind in the plane and he turned over the drink cart and then to crap on it. Oh, yeah and then to grab on it. Oh yeah. Who was that guy? What? I don't remember. I vaguely remember that story. It was like 10 years ago, right?

Something like that. It was the start of the air rage. Was it? Was it one of the guys from R&M? I know one of those guys got booted off a plane for going nuts on a stewardess. I don't know. Didn't know.

No, we can't, but like slap on or anything. It was a very sad thing about it. It was just a sad person with this. Yeah. And then she stole blood diamonds, apparently. So fortune five, look at this. Buckley Finnerin was accused of defecating on a food cart. I'm getting something internet on the fly here.

I don't know exactly who this is. I'm reading conjecture now trying to figure out who this is but anyway some guy went nuts I remember he like dumped over it was in 1996 dumped over the drink car and then dumped on the drink I mean that's a whole different level array. I mean that's really really angry That's he put that guy in a cage God de-evolving on the spot in first class. I don't know what the next step beyond that is. We take a dump on the flight attendant after that. Oh, so there's already a Taiwanese animation of the guy sliding out of the jet blue plane, by the way. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah Yeah, those things have gotten really popular

Well, they always think they're always making them now like they had the was the tiger was the first one That was the big breakout one and they had the iPhone 4 one it is snooki one recently that thing and all this so what else is new guys? Well, we got packs coming up in a couple weeks. That's pretty new. Oh, yeah. I wasn't when we're thinking about the flight Tenning guy, okay, which is I the first story that I linked about it was a daily news story. And daily news, New York Daily News, decided to lead with that the guy was arrested at home in bed with his boyfriend.

So this is a gay guy too that did all this. Okay. This is a gay rage that was a play here. Now, there's something there. And this is like fact number 8,000, why it's way better to be a gay guy than a straight guy. Because if I came home to my wife and I told her, baby, I just quit my job. Oh, by the way, I also chugged you beers, popped the emergency slide. And I'm probably going

to be arrested next two hours. My wife would not say, let's do it. She would. That would be the last thing on her mind. I would get a couple. The cops wouldn't have arrested you and bed with your wife. They would have arrested you in the garage. Exactly sleeping in the back of the car. They have to pick me up at the emergency room. I've got a beat to death like a frying pan. Meanwhile, meanwhile this guy got a blow job in a high five. It's so ridiculous. It's awesome. It's like that was two hours he goes home and bangs his boyfriend. It's perfect. That's a really good point.

No lectures about where we're gonna get money. It's like your boyfriend's like, that's badass dude. How about a blowjob? Let's go. Let's play some Xbox. Call of Duty. So you think the metal honor is coming out. Do you guys think that there's going to be a lot of hubbub about the fact that you can

play Al-Qaeda on Metal of Honor? They already quashed that a little bit, right? Is that true? Who quashed? I didn't know that. The developers, they were like, it's a game. Get over it. It's a game.

That was their argument. That's quashed. I don't think that qualifies as quashed. Well, that's their stance on it. Yeah. Nobody complains that you can play Nazis in every World War II game or the fact that you shot up an airport in you know, you called it a model or two. Yeah. I don't think it's a big deal. Yeah. People are, I think people are now starting to do Fox News's job for them. They're trying to get inflammatory before Fox News gets a chance to. I assume everyone saw the Black Ops multiplayer trailer

where they showed a hint of that they might have a theater mode. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see that. Pretty crazy. Yeah, they show someone playing through a multiplayer and then popping up like the controls, like play, pause, rewind, fast forward, and then scroll through it, moving the camera around. Kill it! So I think they're doing a full reveal. Does did it, does anyone remember when the full reveal?

I think it's like September 1st. Is something like that, or the 30th of August? Yeah, and to this month, beginning next month, they're gonna do the full reveal, I guess, and really talk about it. So it's cool, I can't believe it's taken three years for someone finally to really fully embrace that and have a fully function theater mode.

It seems like theater mode should be a standard feature of every video game that comes out. Yeah, especially shooters, I mean, with like MLG and everything, you want to replace that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm super excited for that. Yeah, it should be something that makes me wonder at what point will that be a baked in feature of the console that you can just read captures game data on the fly and then

you can just replay or records on its own. That's interesting. I mean, it's, it, why have every game have it if you can just build it into the console, right? Make like, just make like an API for it. Have every game have it. Yeah, or like a Tivo style thing, which is maybe just records its own video feed. You know, whatever comes out of the, you might not be able to recam it and things like that, but at least you can replay things. Or like a PVR where like the Xbox is always recording the last 30 seconds of gameplay? Yeah, yeah, just a tvo use a pvr I guess the same thing you engineer on me Where's pvr stand for personal video recorder? I think yeah

As opposed to one used for commercial purpose. I thought it was a DVR isn't it? Digital video recorder. I've heard them call pvr really. Yeah, okay. I haven't heard that one before But I don't keep up with it. I can't find the drunk guy who pooped the drink card. I'll get them set about check snopes Yeah, actually one of the straight nope came up, which is hmm Is it a lesser version? Yeah, how long has snopes been around because I can remember going to snopes I think like a 96 97 so it'sops been around a long, fucking time. Yeah. I'll see if I can find out.

Snops of course is, yeah. Is it one of the first sites I went to on the internet? The website, you go to the debunk urban legends and fucking email forwards and all that stupid shit that people send you on the internet. You will, they haven't updated their site design since that time. The site design looks great.

It's optimized for internet explorer 4. I did that in that game navigator gold. Oh, and that's a's gave what a sad story Yeah, I can't imagine making like the premier product like the premier connection to the internet that everyone had I mean just losing that like once the internet blows up talk to Yahoo man Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't like first on the internet doesn't seem to matter very much right You know, it's the second one is always the best thing. So like, what's the second Twitter gonna be? Quater.

You know, because Yahoo completely lost their lead to Google. Another good example is Friendster and Facebook. Or MySpace. MySpace, man. MySpace probably better example than Friendster. Because MySpace actually hit and people used it. People used Yahoo. People used Netscape.

And then where did go? Snoop started in 1995. Crazy. So does, is Firefox like some kind of spiritual successor to Netscape? Yeah, I think it was like the open source branch of Netscape. OK. They both had like the same parent company, Mozilla.

So they had an navigator which was their commercial product and then Firefox. And now we have Google Chrome. Yeah Google Chrome. Does it, does it want to use Google Chrome? I use it every now and then. Nope. No, I've never even installed it. I installed it. I think after we bashed it a couple of podcasts to go, finally broke down and installed it. How is it? You actually, you know what made me install it? Was those videos they made showing how fast the browser was? Those were really good videos. I don't think we never talked about that know what made me install it was those videos they made showing how fast the browser was those were really good Videos I was I never talked about that. I think I know they're pretty cool though

But yeah, just showing how I thought they were cool videos. I decided to download and install it. Yeah, you should Perfect marketing. There you go. Do you like Google come no really? I prefer Safari. I like Safari a lot. Whatever A few years ago on night airlines flight from Buenos Aires to New York, Gerard P. Finnerin, an investment banker who went totally bonkers. Newspaper account said that after becoming intoxicated, Finnerin demanded more alcohol from flight attendants when the refuse to begin helping himself to the liquor supply. After being cut off a second time, he became visibly angry. He pushed one flight attendant, verbally threatened another, interfered with a third who was

assisting a sick passenger, then walked up at the first class cabin, verbally threatened another, interfered with a third who was assisting a sick passenger, then walked up at the first class cabin, dropped his pants, and defecated on the service cart in plain view of the passengers and crew. He then stepped in his own feces and tracked it through the main camera. When the veteran was arrested while planning in New York, he subsequently pled guilty to assault,

and was sentenced to two years' probation. In addition, he was given 300 hours of community service, $5,000 fine, and was ordered to pay more than $50,000 in restitution to the airline and to reimburse fellow passengers for the price of their ticket. $50,000. When did this happen? That's an expensive dump. I believe it was 1996. Okay, because you are in post 9-11.

You are not taking a dump in the middle of like on a food cart and getting away with two years' appropriation. You're going to a dump in the middle of a, like, on a food cart and getting away with two years of probation. You're gonna fucking get shipped off to Guantanamo. Yeah, that is so crazy. It's so crazy. Yeah, he racked up potentially six federal offenses in one go. Basically when we did this.

The seventh one's free. I don't know if you know that. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a statute that's really you. The punch card. He gets a free a federal offense now That is losing your fucking mind some people some people Just like go nuts when they're drunk. Do you think there's a point in that when he like when he's he's got a like unbutton is

Like un like unbuckle is belt and he started to pull his pants down Do you think he has that moment? He goes do I go this is this a good idea? How far do I take is it yeah? Is it worth it to take the dump? I get in these little rage. I have a pretty good imagination, I think. So when I get in rage, I can just imagine the worst case scenario for things. Like when I park in the parking lot right next door to us,

and it's five bucks if you park for an hour, if you park more than an hour, it's eight bucks. Well, I've been paying eight bucks a day for about a year and one time I put in five dollars and I went over the hour so they towed my fucking car which goes to your own age bucks to get out. But when that happened I was like this company's going out of business. Here's what I'm gonna do. You get this irrational thing going your head and I'm like I'm gonna talk to this guy I'm saying what people are gonna see I'm not gonna park anymore Hey, what happened to Blue Truck? They used to park here every day

You know to sit and the guys can you fucking fire them to come to go to business I was parking there the next day Like I was like I'm putting my money back in again the next day of the total my fucking car Just because it was convenient you took that surprisingly well like I was there when you got the call and you found out your truck was telling you like Okay, that's interesting. Yeah I mean we were in the middle of we just finished crunch or something I don't know, but no you're still in charge. Yeah, it was towards the end of it It's just like it didn't really matter, but you know at over time I was like thinking about how they'd fucked me and I give them so much money and I was gonna you know

I wasn't like a all-out rage or anything like that. I was definitely like my like it Why I'm not gonna get worried about shit like that anymore. You know what I mean? I used to get worked up about stuff like if you miss a check box on a form and like, oh shit, and it seems like it's gonna be a big administrative hassle, it never really is. Or you know, it always works out. You just gotta go through somebody else's bullshit

for a couple of weeks and then you're done with it. And that's it. Or if someone loses a giant check that your newly formed company has just received Why you guys got talking about Ajax The first check we ever got from retail sales and Redverse Blue DVDs was the biggest check any of us had ever seen and We were so excited about it. We would not to lunch to celebrate Jeff lost the check at That that absolutely did not happen. Why did you bring the check with you?

It disappeared in the truck. We were going to celebrate it, which you were the last person to have the check. So I was in a backseat and you handed it back to me. I looked at it and I go, wow, that's crazy. And then I handed it back to Ajax and he put it on the floorboard between he's of course another another guy we used to work with yeah, nothing to the reverse blue He just worked at the company and worked that and then the check disappeared and it was suddenly my fault And we thought I thought it was the end of the world every seven fucking years. It's been my fault No, I was luckily for me. I was in port of equal at the time

So I cannot be implicated in this in this scandal. I was like, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? You know, I call the game stop. I said, we can't look at the check. What we do is to go, oh, just put a stop payment on it and take the 20 bucks out of your next check. We got for you. We'll create you one next week. Yeah, send it in there.

Oh, okay. It was like we were out of business. Things were going on in flames. We didn't exactly know we were doing it. Still a source pot to this day. Yeah, yeah. We're just speaking of rage. Do you guys see the McDonald's video footage?

The chicken McNugget Lake? Yeah, at 6.30 a.m. on New Year's Day, a woman wanted chicken McNuggets and they wouldn't serve them to her. And so she ripped open the windows, started punching the whole thing. And then when they got it shut, she smashed the window open. Yeah, that lady, that lady. That lady wanted some fucking McNugget. that you did not start well for her the best part of that that is this fight less like 15 minutes it seems like it's like three or four minutes and

then the she gets in a car drives off and immediately the next guy pulls up and the lady just like hands in this food nothing happened everything still got to go yeah you might be in that poor dude, but I'm like, I just want my McMuffin. Come on. It's like Jesus, it had to be me. Why am I always behind the crazy person? That's what my hotcakes were sausage. I gotta go to the airport.

I'll have what Jesus has. Don't tell me you're out of coffee. That lady, that lady must have had two years' resolutions. Number one, McNuggets. Number two was no more bullshit I'm not taking this shit We're right out of the gate. No, don't serve McNuggets. It's 30 in the morning lady. Oh You know how many times do you think McDonald's employees have to put up with that?

It's like all the time I don't want to have a conversation with the new to 1035 why he can't have a hash brown I'm just tired of having that conversation bill makes six extra hash brown today. We're just gonna sell That must be like that's like the chick filet dude who runs you who runs chick filet I don't know if he owns it or whatever, but they don't stay open on Sunday. Right. Even if the malls are in the company shuts down on Sunday. It's gotta be a beast. There's something Donald's like, some weird thing where it's like, listen, 1030, that's it. This is, that is the hardest rule in the world.

I've never seen that rule bended or broken. Yep. I've never seen that happen. Ever where they'll sell you a cheeseburger at like 9 AM or they'll sell you a, you know, a hash brown at 11 AM. It's never broken. You gotta have rules, Bernie. That's the part I 9 a.m. Or they'll sell you a you know hash brown at 11 a.m. It's never broken You've got to have rules burning. That's a fucking recurring theme if there's a rule you have to obey it There's no fucking hash brown at 1031 a.m. There's no big Mac at 1029 a.m. There it has to be a cutoff

I just I don't think you need rules like that. I think you have general guidelines and we're on people We can get together. Yeah, I don't believe in the rule like going back to our early conversation I don't believe in that rule, but it's there. Okay, I got a respected Yeah, but you I think you guys are snits about the whole using your electronic devices He always gets on me about it like as soon as they even mention it But you guys are upset because the fact that you're not breaking the rule you're not upset about the rule Exit you just want everyone to follow the rule if I yeah have to follow the rule, everyone has to follow the rule. Oh, that's bullshit.

It's totally true. Nope. Then you don't get people who pop the emergency slide and jugged you be here the other way down. You don't get that stuff. But then everyone's a lot happier. Why are you looking at pictures of donuts? I'm looking at Krispy Kreme because you guys were talking about drive-sue things.

So it's like this weird thing that's going on this week where similar things are happening, like the quitting and the raging and then the drive- things. So it's like this weird thing that's going on this week where similar things are happening like the quitting and the raging and then the drive through. There was another drive through incidents that happened at Krispy Kreme. Oh, I heard about one of these stores where they hired a new employee and the way the manager had this little thing she did that everybody knew about where she would take the stores daily receipts and put the cash in one of those bank bags. Yeah, but she didn't want to carry that out in the parking lot. So she would put it in an empty donut box and then she would put it on the ledge of the drive-through and then drive Room the car to pick it up apparently she did this every day

Nobody told the new employee this so the new employee handed a drive-through customer a donut box with $5,000 That's awesome and the story here is that the guy took it and was like she just handed me $5,000 That's it's a mine. Yeah, I'm I'm going away with it. This was obviously meant for me Yeah, obviously this was meant to happen and the internet comments unfortunately We're like dude. I would totally keep the money the government takes my money all the time I'll get back whatever I can That's not taking your fucking money crispy cream's trading your money for donuts already at that poor manager That kid at the counter.

They didn't have anything to do with that. But yeah, the guy just drove off of the money and they have no idea who it is. What was that? Wow, and the guy got always scot free. Yeah, with slime grande, approximately. They got to find that person. Yeah, they got to have to be security cameras

in the drive-through. Why would you take that? They have their security camera at the drive-through in McDonald's. They fucking see a woman raging over McNuggets. That is true, I guess. Yeah. They got to see what kind of car it was and what the fucking license plate at least. He got it into it's like when they get your... That's like the lottery of getting your drive to order raw.

I ordered no catch-up but they gave me $5,000. I'll think that mistake. Hey, you picked up a pretty cool new device, right? That I spot thing. I can't decide if it's cool or not. Oh, you're not. I can't decide. I just can't. I just I like it.

It's like a very low priced item. And it seems reasonable for the service. I just don't know that I can use the service. Like I don't know what I'm going to use it for. But it seems low enough. What it is is, Gus detailed detailed last week how we don't have internet in the office anymore and we're all running off of a clear connection. What is that called max fire or something? Why max? Why max? That's what's called. And so it's

one of these citywide internet and we just internet services that we've been did and plugged into. And when we when we did that we started paying more attention to what clear offers now for this iSpot because you can probably explain a lot better than that. Yeah, just like a little device, it's like smaller than an iPhone that you turn on and it connects to the 4G network or the Y-Max. And then it broadcasts a little Wi-Fi hotspot. You can connect iPhones and iPads to it.

It's called an iSpot. Yeah, it's hardware locks, you can only connect iPhones and iPads to. It's called an iSpot. Yeah, it's hardware locks, you can only connect iPhones and iPads to it. But if you have multiple iPads and you're like in a car or away from, you know, your normal Wi-Fi connection, then it's super handy. Right, you connect up to 8 devices for it. So like, let's say you have 8 iPads instead of playing for 8, 3G accounts, you can buy one iPod and use it. But how often does that happen?

Right. Yeah. Which is what Bernie's now figuring out, I guess. Like I have a Wi-Fi iPad. I've never come in a situation like, fuck. I needed internet that's not available. But you could also do stuff like you have an iPhone 4, you could do FaceTime. Yeah, but it's a short-term.

Or download app over 20 megs. Right. You know, that kind of thing. So, it was 29 bucks to buy it, and it's $25 a month for the service. So, it's essentially $20 a month. So, I'll just try it. There's no contractor or anything like that. And we have one time sale.

I thought, well, grab this thing and get it. And what I like about it is that it does seem to be the first device that I can remember where it does exactly what it should do. And it's just a power button. It's just a white puck that sits there. And then you just turn it on and it works. You can connect to it with your iPhones and all that.

That's it. Why do more products like that? Why do we have to learn so much about products? It's also battery power. I think it lasts like three or four hours for what you charge it. You just take it with you. Keep it in your pocket. It's cool because this thing accepts the 4G connection and it has a built-in Wi-Fi router

essentially is what it's got. It broadcasts Wi-Fi and you just connect to this device like you would in the other Wi-Fi router. is what it's got. If it's broadcast Wi-Fi, you just connect to this device like you would in the other Wi-Fi router. How do you have to connect, like, authenticate in some way or is it just like the first eight to connect to it? It's got a password that's printed on the bottom of it. Oh, okay. So you have this on the device, you turn it over, read the password,

and you show it to people, and that's it, and connect to it. And apparently it recognizes the MAC addresses for Apple products, but it doesn't recognize my iPhone 4. Yeah, it does not recognize your iPhone 4. It's really. It's not a compatible device. It's not an Apple device. So maybe I'm not gonna. Yeah, you got an iPod. But uh, yeah, I wish more things were like that. Like I don't know how routers, how does the average person set up a wireless router? I know I get I still get calls from like my mom and my stepdad with questions about the routers. Like how set this up like how did you connect it before? I don't know

I Can't help them and then they don't seem to be getting better now in any way the wireless router still seem to be a huge hassle I fight mine Whenever I get a new one I fight it for a day and I know what I'm doing. How does the average person set it up to use it? Do you know what kind of router do you have at home? I have upgraded to airports and then those little airports satellites. I have an airport extreme that's made by Apple. Yeah.

So I have that and then I have, which I really love, are the little plug-in ones that just extend it. They express the, they extend the network. I've always had a problem. Range has always been a massive problem in my house, where I can't put my routers in a place where I can reach them everywhere else. Must suck to live in such a big house. Shut up the fat ass. Fucking ham palace over here. Shut up the fuck up. But now I use airport express as at my house. Airport express is pretty easy to set up. I mean it's

damn near plug-in in the together. It's pretty cool. Does the airport express also have that audio out port? Yep. So you can feed into a stereo or something That's pretty sweet. No The fuck do I use that for? You know, it means it's like wait, what would you use that for? You put it in your living room next year like you know TV and stereo components and then you'd also have no more internet in your living room and you'd have stereo output from your iTunes You know the most common thing said in my house is I wish I'd stereo input come from my I2 no it's hey Will you turn that down because we all want to listen to each other stuff and that's so I'm trying to go more Headphone and less like hey, let's all listen to everyone else's music and drive each other nuts

Well, you know what I love to hear I love to hear talking Carl as loud as fucking Talking Carl is an app on the iPhone iPad where it's a little red monster and You say something to it and it says it back to you in a high squeaky voice Well when your kids already have high squeaky voices. It's like you might as well have a nails on chalkboard app is what you should have Yeah, they love it though They laughed their ass off talking Carl. It's been the best 99 sense. I've ever spent my life, but Geez Louise man, I get sick of hearing it around my house They laughed their asses off with talking carol. It's been the best $0.99 I've ever spent my life, but she's Louise, man. I get sick of hearing it around my house.

Did you guys see that Duke Nukem might be coming back by the guys who did Borderlands? I saw that. That Gearbox, it's a rumor. Yeah, this rumor that Gearbox Studios is picking up the Duke Nukem franchise and completing it. Well, wasn't there a rumor a while back that Gearbox was landing a AAA a title and they never announced what was

Yeah, I think that remember that. No, the rumor was halo You rumor was halo. Yeah, but they were dead but the but it was rumored that halo was that triple X title or triple a time Well, I mean there's some things about that story that do makes sense. I guess you know 3d realms was also in the Dallas area Just like gearbox and 2k handled the publishing for 3d realms and also handles publishing for gearbox Yeah, there's a story here on Kotaku and it says The president of gearbox basically said, you know, maybe you should watch what we say at packs So he's hinting that at packs lots and now think it's Randy Pitchford Randy Pitchford Yeah, would you be excited about Duke Nukem?

Yeah, at this point no Yeah, I've not been excited about that game since 1998 yeah, I'm same way like I don't get excited about doom or quake or do I'm kind of excited about doom for how many people are still like Still remember playing Duke Nukem 3D, you know? Yeah, I feel like that was that was so long ago. Well, it was sort of like like the Nintendo versus Sega debate. It was like are you are you a Quake player or are you a Duke Nukem player? That's all I remember it and you know it looks like Quake 1. Yeah, Quake like like like Duke Nukem 3D

took like kind of fit in between the gap between Doom 2 and quake And so people started playing that and then you know quake sort of took off from there quake is now basically just the name of a Convention though. I mean pretty much it's not like anybody's playing quake these days. Well, I remember playing Quake live is coming out I think right? Yeah, it just came out of beta the browser-based quake whatever that is yeah and Like I think I think I think that quake Enemy territories Remember that Quake wars and big wars in the territories didn't that game sell like 20,000 copies something really sad. I don't know Enemy territory quake wars. Yeah, when I came out very confusing franchise is quake part of the doom franchise?

No, no, it's not I don't think so. No They're completely different storylines But okay Maybe it was one of the things where it was developer finally broke out and was making a second franchise. Right. But it always felt to me like some kind of weird offshoot of the doomed franchise. I could see that. The one where you could look up and down. It was like a tech demo. Although Quake was the first game that I ever played capture the in, because some player modded a level where you could play Capture the Flag and invented Capture the Flag.

I wondered who that guy was. Who was the guy who made the Capture the Flag mod that everybody played? And now Capture the Flag is in every single FPS game. Did that original Capture the Flag mod? Is that also the one that had grappling hooks? Or was that? Which was cool.

Yeah, you could fucking grapple the dude with the flag and pull yourself to him. Yeah. I was playing a Monday night combat last night and the left trigger was labeled as grapple. And I was like, that's awesome. We have grappling hooks. Nope, you just get to like grapple with you.

Yeah, like kind of hand combat or something. Yeah, it's a melee button essentially. I played a game called jailbreak on Quake 2. You guys ever play that? It was like when you die, you spawn in your opponent's jail, but then if you have enough people in jail, you could actually break out of your jail, like you get, you know, jump on top of each other until you get to

like a little gap and then exit and push a button, open the doors and everyone will run out. It was a pretty cool game mode that I haven't seen show up again anywhere. Sounds interesting, but how do you win in the end? Like, you kill all the opponent. Well, it's all the enemy team. They just end up in jail and it left themselves out.

But it was like a CTF mod. So it was like, you know, when you have the flag, you're still trying to capture the flag, but when you die, you spawn in your opponent's jail. But then as I was saying, you can break out of the jail if you have enough coordination with the people in jail. So you're in like a power play. Yeah, yeah.

Unless you have like a jailer who would literally sit there and like just chuck grenades into the one gap that you could get out through. So I would totally play the jaylor. That's something that best me ever. Loving grenades and on days in the jail. I've got a plus-40 kill desperation. What's wrong with you asshole? I'm carrying this team. I would play it for eight hours straight. Loving grenades on people's heads. The grenades launcher and quake was really awesome. That'll remember it very well. It was really cool. Remember the news with the bags in their heads with the chainsaw for the hands? I don't know. Do you remember that? Yeah. It was a nice nail boxes. Yeah, that was lame Tyin. That was like one of the first video game Tyins I can remember. Well,

Rezner did the music for Quake, right? Right. Yeah. That's nice nail. I did make it any better to me. Yeah, I go with that. Yeah. Call out like that. I don't know. I see a lot of that stuff now I see a lot of like corporate tie and like Jack loves old spice you know because he's big into their old spice advertising but one of my first experiences where the old spice achievements that are still around. Yeah just Red Zone achievements. Never sat row every every madden has them. That being said like if you were to put like soda machines with cool logos on them into a video game that would be totally fine I'm like like a plane about that. We talked about this before. I think yeah, yeah, I don't know the Yeah, it just seems like I don't know what they're hoping to get out of that, you know

That feeling that I have when I see it isn't probably the feeling I want me to have I'm like oh cool. So you don't like the corporate tie-ins? I think we have talked about this for because I think I'm okay with like the billboards in world of warcraft credit cards for example I think it's fine if it's if it's blatant and over like this is a billboard. This is where an advertisement goes I'm gonna put an advertisement here right right what I suppose the opposite of blatant That's subtle That makes sense that makes sense to say appropriate appropriate. Yes. That makes yeah, that's a better word. Okay But like and then if you're gonna do a corporate sponsored thing, do some badass, like the Doritos dinosaur game, which was great. Great. Great. And it was free and everybody loved it.

You play the Yaris game? No. No. That would be the bad example of that. I did not play the Yaris game. It should also be a good game. Yeah. The Yaris game, I downloaded a thing. Oh, easy 200 game or score. No. I don't think I got a single achievement after playing that game for like two hours I don't like racing stuff in general I Hate to keep adding racing stuff into games that are racing. Yeah, you really don't like that. I really don't like that That's like I thought one of the racing game I would buy a racing game I mean guarantee you've been mafia two comes out. There's gonna be some set of racing mini games that are in there And I just don't want to play though when the set that come out? Is that like next week or two weeks? No, two weeks or two weeks. Yeah, next week is Cain and Lynch and the Laura Crawl.

Anyone here actually play Mafia 1? No. I don't even know what platform was on Mafia. Yeah, I think I played the original Mafia. Bernie, what was that Mafia game that you loved? Godfather. Godfather, okay. Yeah, I thought Godfather was great, but I didn't play Godfather 2. But I played Godfather and really liked it. But Gus played Godfather 2 and really liked it.

Yeah, I liked it. I hear it was very different from Godfather One though. Well the Godfather the original game. I Thought they did a really cool thing that I love the Godfather movies and Jeff every time it comes up I got a point out you have not seen the Godfather True Godfather. I've never seen Godfather's one two or three. All right Can I just want to point to you three? I understand but one and two come on. I just haven't seen them three is perfectly fine By the way, I've got the blue rays if I I loan you the blue rays, will you watch it?

I don't have the blue, I play. But so no. Can I put some out and some of them have noticed that way people communicate with each other? If you say you haven't seen something that's very popular, let's say Star Wars, for instance, say, I haven't seen Star Wars. People always have the exact same reaction.

They always say, you haven't seen Star Wars? Like, that's exactly how they react to that statement every single time. Not like, oh you should really see it or oh it's great you'll love it. It's you haven't seen that? It's like always that question that comes up. I don't know why that is. That's a good point. Why did like you should test this today in your personal life. Go out and tell somebody you haven't seen something like ET or you haven't seen the moon. Well, I'm always wonder why people do that. But anyway, I was online the other day and we were talking about releases or I saw

a conversation about one and people were saying they were more excited about mafia than they were about anything else coming out this fall which is ridiculous. I couldn't imagine where are these closet mafia fans? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe if I played it, I'd feel the same way. I guess I don't know about that. A lot coming out this fall. To say that that's what you're looking the most. That's what you're looking forward to the most. Yeah, a duh. Fable 3 is coming out. What was that one week where there were like 15 Xbox games coming out? Uh, it's like September. It's like the week after two weeks after reach. Yeah, late September. two weeks after reach.

I know Dead Rising 2 is coming out that day. It's the week the Dead Rising 2 comes out. Yeah, there's a whole slew of games. We don't have a, we don't have the September on the board yet, guys. Yeah, I'm looking over for it for shame. Rich is so good. Yeah, reach is so unbelievably good. The, um, it's epic.

Yeah. And but we were talking, I was in that podcast. I was like, not talking about reach, you know, because it's, you don and but we were talking about it in that podcast. I was not talking about reach, you know, because I don't know what you can say or anything like that, but you guys were talking about how they're adding theater mode finally into black ops. That's like that's totally playing catch up at this point knowing what's coming with forge in reach. I mean the theater mode thing's just like a staple of the halo franchise. in reach, I mean the theater mode thing is just like a staple of the Halo franchise. The forge, the one they had before was just like a test almost, it seems like now, right? It's like a, it's kind of funny, guess what I did an interview with IGN yesterday to talk about the GameStop series that we're doing to prepare for reach, you know?

A little mini-series, and all the guy wanted to do was talk about forge and get us to tell him things about forge. Like he wanted inside information on like what going to be new in Theodore mode, what was some of the new things you could do in Forge and it was the entire interview it was just like him trying to get the Forge stuff out of it. One of the things that I said was it was crazy to me that Black Ops are like I said it's coming out with the Theodore mode. That other developers are now coming out with their 1.0 version of like Theodore mode and this type of stuff. And Bunch is already like moving on to 2.0. Like they're already releasing a newer version version a better version of all these tools that other people still are

struggling to try to implement. It is tremendous too. Like I'm telling you I'm excited for for reaching to come out I'm excited for September 14th I'm excited for people to start playing with the new Forge stuff. I'm way more excited about September 14th next year after people have had a year with that thing it's gonna be crazy. Like Halo is almost at that point, the floor is so powerful. Halo could almost just be a platform, you know? Right, 14 people are making their own custom game types. Yeah, there's so many custom game types and so many different kinds of games that you can make out of forage.

That's it, that's your destination, that's your, you know? And there's a lot of that going on right now, Halo 3. If you wanted to Halo 3 and looked at Forge and the custom game types, so I'm Bungie Dunette, the people who are putting out there, you'd be amazed, like some of those race tracks that people make. It's race tracks are crazy. Yeah, I don't know how people make these things,

but it's like, it took a long time for people to build those skills to be able to do that stuff. Now that they hit the ground and run in with that, and when we were up there shooting the deja vu video, the Bungie day video, I was doing some editing, and so Jeff just started tooling around in Forge. Jeff made a map while I was sitting there editing, and he's goofing around.

He made this awesome map in Blood Gulch that was just unbelievable. It was like a mirror's edge platform type thing made in the sky. Because you could float the pieces and things like that, and I don't know how far we can do this, but it was Honestly, you're not a forged guy jet. No, not at all not at all and you made one of the coolest maps that I've seen

Just sitting there like goofing around and trying different stuff. Yeah, so That experience more to anything else is like wow. This is gonna be nuts Yeah, I'm actually thinking that I'm actually thinking like this could be that reach could end up being like Like wow is to PC gaming. Like for a while, if you played a PC game, it was very clear that you were just playing wow. That's what everyone was doing. And I mean, this could be a game where, because people can get hold of it and do all the stuff with it, I mean, people might not be playing anything else for a very, very long

time. Yep. Which, I, you know, I, as a Halo fan, I like as an overall Xbox fan on how I feel about that. It's going to be interesting. It's going to be like, Gryff Ball to the nth degree. Like, when we were at Comic Con, know, I hate what I like is an overall Xbox fan on how I feel about that It's gonna be interesting It's kind of it's gonna be like Griffball to the nth degree like when we were a Comic-Con we I was surprised We had so many people that would come up to the booth and would be like oh you guys have a gif ball shirt I love gif ball. What's that versus blue? And it's like there's so many people that are just huge gif ball fans And there are people that are fans of team swat or whatever and it's gonna be interesting. It's I don't know

It's kind of exciting. Yeah, cold think that's the bad side of a community. Is that you think what you do is what everybody does. Right. The M.O.G. stuffers from that, that everyone thinks that the ultimate goal is to play Halo competitively. And people come out, other machine, people come up to us and to talk about that where they're like, what are they going to do for machine models? It's like, that's not what machine is. It's not like, here's a two set of tools and make something cool. It's what can you do with the game as it exists or, you know, or, you know, what can you get out of it or add to it, you know? Yeah. And I don't think a lot of people get that. I don't think they get that, you know, your group of 50,000 to 100,000 people who do this thing every day,

you're still a very small part of the nine to 15 million people to play this game. Right. The game is the thing. And you know, and that's, Bungie is very cool about the way that they've, you know, made a very cool game that everybody wants to play with. And they also support all this other little side stuff like what we do. Yep. So. Awesome.

Can't wait. So, remember 14. So, our, our technique put out an article this week that really upset brain in really it all the whole premise of the article was how the Sony PS3 updates and how it just makes you add 30 minutes prep time to any gaming session you want to have it's honestly what keeps me from turning the PS3 and my desk going and I thought we've talked about it before. Like when I was doing my 30 days of PS3 experiment and it was interesting to read like now here's our

Seticus very well respected I think. Yeah, absolutely. We're not. No, but our Seticus is and they, yeah, there's a whole article about it about how the guy wanted to play Mod Nation racers because he'd heard good things about the new updates to it and everything like that. And he'd ever ended up playing it because he had other things to do and he was 35 minutes into updating and he was just like, I'm leaving. I'm getting out of here. And then he heard that the update even makes a load time slower when it's supposed to make them faster. Yeah, the updating system is pretty slow and constant, it seems like.

You know, because I guess on top of updating firmware, which is like, it's like, our dashboard equivalent, there's always updates for games as well. And it's just, it's a lot. And it doesn't go as fast. I feel like dashboard updates on the Xbox just, I don't know, I don't know if there's smaller file size

or quicker install or what, I feel like the private sport just flies by and you're done in a minute, maybe. Well, to be, yeah, it's pretty fast. Like to be fair, Microsoft definitely has those, the Xbox has those as well. Like I'm playing Madden 07 again, because I'm picking up some achievements

I never finished, fucking annoying superstar mode achievements. But, and yeah, like I put it in my Xbox and the office morning and I had to update. But the update takes like 30 seconds. Right. And then you're playing. Here's your quote from Senator Goff, fast forward to this week when I wanted to revisit

modernation racers to see if the new patch improved loading times. As they said, as I turned on my system, popped in the game in, and with God's Mack to see that the system forced me to grab yet another update. What does this update do? It fixes the first update the one I didn't even want. Right, so also cool thing about the Xbox is a, and I don't think this is the case in the PC, maybe I'm wrong, but like it'll offer you. It's like, hey, do you want to update? If you don't, you can stop playing the game. You just can't play online.

Right. And I don't know that the PlayStation has that option. I don't think so. I feel like if you don't connect to the internet, you'll never see it, obviously. Yeah, I guess that's true. But if you connect it, it will. I think it forces you to.

But I, you know, we're obviously, I think bigger Xbox fans are sure. Sure. But I've been dealing with some rough stuff on the Xbox too. Like I just bought one of the new elites, the quieter ones. Slim? Yeah, the slim. So I had to go through the DNRM process all over again. If I just ended up buying for this podcast that I was on the other day, I had to buy the last mythic map pack because I had never

purchased it because I had the ods t-disc but I couldn't find my ods t-disc. So I had to download I think like a gig and a half with the maps. Yeah, you know just to get them all on my hard drive. Would you play that 400 points? I can't be tell you where the book was in those last ones but I just wanted to have that complete set because I didn't want to go through it anymore. It was like orbital and yeah, yeah, fuck if I can't want to go through it anymore. It was like orbital and... Yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, I can't remember.

There's been so many of them. Can I be critical of one thing? Sure. Does bug me about the Xbox? I like classic gaming and I like Xbox Live Arcade. Okay. I don't understand what Game Room is. And I load it and I get into it and I look at it and I navigate it and I still don't understand what it is.

Never loaded a game room. I loaded it once, like two weeks ago, and I could not figure it out. It just doesn't make sense, right? No, it's like, I don't know if the interface is clunky. Like there's no clear definition of what you can do or where to go to do it. Right, I don't know what to do. I go in there and I see a game room and I see icons for stuff and I just literally don't know what to do They're like am I supposed to buy games and put them in the here? Where do I buy games? They're a list of them and I feel like I already bought the games because I downloaded the games in marketplace

Right, where you buy things right so then you go in and after you buy it you have to buy it right and then you choose How you want to buy it after you bought it twice. Like micro transactions or just pay for the full game. It doesn't make sense to me. It really doesn't. I think the customization thing is the big thing where it's like, you choose what's in it. It should just be a... if you're going to have to choose between micro transactions or buying the game, you should just go into a game room where all those games are available. But that's not what it is. There's like eight levels to play a game, and it's just it's very confusing to me. And it's and and then the other thing too is after I've downloaded it, I don't know where to find it. Right. Well, that's the problem with the Xbox in general, right? Where do you find shit? I was having all these exact same problems. I just ended up giving up on it. I

don't fucking place something else. I wonder how that thing's doing. I wonder if Game Room is popular. I think I read an article that said that it was it did really well for them last year They got a lot of cool games that you know old arcade games and all the television games. Yeah They got to get tron deadly. I played some time pilot when I was there Timeline that's on arcade. Yeah, but I think it was also in the game room. In the game room. Is it really interesting? And game room has achievements, right? Yeah. Yes. It has like 60 or something.

Yeah, the actual like game room itself has achievements. Like fill a room full of arcade games. You get an achievement for that. But you have to buy those arcade games to fill the room with. Did you guys see this modern warfare 2 glitch that opens up arcade games? No. No.

So apparently in the 360 version of Call of Duty modern warfare 2, the demo. No, or the game or the demo, it does something where unlocks full versions of certain SNK, Xbox Live arcade games. So you can play like Metal Slug, what is it? Metal Slug XX or Samurai Showdown 2, the full arcade version for free. If you're playing, like if you have Modern Warfare 2 disc in or something, like it, it tricks Xbox Live into thinking that you've purchased these five arcade games. What? Yeah. It's really bizarre. All players need to do is to access the demo version of these SNK games from the guide button while playing modern warfare 2 So just hit your guide button and go to the Quaker line option. I don't know how you even figure that out

Yeah, who stumbled across that and who figured out how to do that with five different game and then who fixes it right? Yeah, who made a correlation that it's only when I have modern warfare and I can play metal slug right for free It's weird. It's only when I have modern warfare and I can play metal slug right for free It's weird. It's hell a weird, but I don't I don't even understand how First of all, I find that and the signal how that even happens right Obviously we're missing we're missing something here. Yeah, it's pretty wild Also, don't try that don't do it. Yeah pay for games. Just pay for it I know are we talking about something across somebody money? Yeah, well that this will get fixed quick I would hope so sure S andK is really happy right now.

Yeah, no kidding. And then also it's a... Honestly, it wasn't a big game that everybody has, like, you know. Yeah. It's probably over 20 million people have or anything. It's surely fixed right away. If there's one thing Mata Warfare does really well, it's fixed and it's fixed and it's fixed and fixed.

It's fast, right? They're great about that. I don't even play the game, and I'm familiar with all the games. It's just that game. It's being complained about them constantly. Yeah, I spawn in the lobby and people were nuking people in the lobby. Have you enjoyed it? Have you guys played Modern Warfare 2? I played, you know, I thousand pointed it and then that was it. I don't play multiplayer. It still dominates the, you know, major Nelson's list of Xbox Live.

When it came out, I played quite a bit of it on Xbox Live, but then I moved, I don't remember what I moved on to, and I just quit playing it. The top five right now are Model Warfare 2, then Halo 3, then World of War, then Call of Duty 4, then Red Dead, I think. I gotta see the Speck-Ops mode. I'd like to do the Esther.

The Speck-Ops mode, Model Warfare 2, is probably the most fun I've had plaguing multiplayer online. Or co-op. Yeah, co-op. It's pretty fucking fun. I will admit. I play Griffball the other night with a bunch of people who are bad at Griffball.

When you play with people who are bad at Griffball, it's a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun. When you play with people who are really good, you just destroyed. And there's a ranking system. So you tend to get matched with people who are really good at it.

But you're missed one in there. Feefe was number five. Oh, Fee, and then Red Dev was number six. And then GTA four, which I find interesting. And we're red dead. It somehow punched up GTA four people. GTA is kind of always hanging around there. Gears or two battlefield bad company two left for dead two. I'm one mutation away from having my known. Oh, that's awesome. I think I need to load up the mutation today actually. Well, check this limbo ended up at 13 on the overall list. Now, that's great. Yeah. limbo is a cool game. I liked it. But I don't think

out now that I've perfected it. I don't think I'll ever go back to it. I think I found a discrepancy in Major Nelson's list here. Uh oh. Number 13 on the overall list is limbo. Number 15 on the overall list is Castlevania Harmony of Despair. But what kind of name is that? Yeah. And then you have it on the Arcade list. Castellania was first and limo second. That's a discrepancy. Hmm. Suspect. We should watch out for that. Plus, then numbers don't lie. Somebody's making shit up. What's the throwin' we've been y'all to three? NBA 2K10 is on there too. You like that because you're... I noticed Jeff is doing something. Jeff is so... Jeff is secretly trying to go back and get more 100% games than I have

I know that's what's not know that's what you're doing that's the limit case Well, so why is your last five games played all 100% completed games because I'm going back in completing games And I never finished and why are you doing that because we had a conversation in the office the other day because I don't I don't like that shit lingering Conversation in the office of the day because I don't I don't like that shit lingering Uh-huh. So it's been killing you for the past three or four years that Madden 07 is not a hundred percent Pretty isn't in killing me, but I had madden 11 was coming out and I was thinking about madden in general And I thought I never beat those I looked at the old Madden games I thought I had a hundred percent of the lot of them because I thought I wonder if I've a hundred percent at every Madden game That would be kind of a cool accomplishment makes sense. Yeah Yeah. So what was the thought process when you were sitting around

thinking about kingdom for kelp wings or whatever? Oh! I just remember that I hadn't finished it. We had a conversation, remember, got to say the day that I took a, I took when we were in the middle of the content, took probably a 30 or 60 day break from playing anything at all.

And in that time, I went from, I think about 59 completed games to 53 completed games. I lost nearly fuck. I lost six games while I was offline. Obviously because of DLC. DLC and things like that. And so I told Jeff that Jeff goes, yeah, I'm almost caught up to you. Remember that? Real that real. I do. I was standing right over there. We were right here. Real just off and comment. Yeah, I've almost caught up to you. And I looked at you enough. All these hundred games. He's he's just quite why do you deny it Jeff? I'm not telling to deny why you deny it. I'm not denying. That's not that's not my mode my soul motivation for doing this I had to go out complete that's just one weekend. It's that's my sweet game. It's awesome game. Yeah

It's just that you reminded me that there were games that I was close to finishing that I had never finished. And it was kind of a, we're kind of a drought right now for gaming until next week. So, why not? I don't know the name exactly, it's a tango down. It kind of looks like shadow complex. Black tango down. Black light. Black light. And what is that? Anybody played that? Nope. No really. I'm gonna play that. See what it's like. There's a lot of supposedly really good FPSs that have very quietly come out that Haven't gotten a lot of press but like Metro 2033 was supposed to be really good singularity It's gonna be great. Yeah, really good reviews that black light game. I hear is okay. There's another one in there a limbo out limbo Alpha protocol was supposed to be pretty good limbo is not a first person shooter. Oh, oh, I'm sorry With singularity and first person to singularity. I was most of my paying attention

I know we've moved on from arcade games to first person My money and combat interesting because it's like a first person tower defense game. Yeah. Yeah, yeah That comes out today. Yeah, I'm gonna try that out. I'm gonna play that. Yeah, we're having a community play day in that tomorrow for a team hunter Nice. What time? 8 p.m. Central. That's minus six a GMT. What class you guys playing in that most often? I played a salt and gunner Yeah, a lot of only I played as assassin once and that was a lot of fun going stealth and sneaking up on people I play support Yeah, that's the class I play in almost everything is a support except in team fortress to I play usually spy

I play engineer and team fortress. I guess that isn't support though. Yeah engineer because you're repairing stuff I play engineer lots you I think that was my primary class. Yeah, and I played medic in battlefield Yeah, I love being medic in battlefield I could if I could give away my gun to have more medic skills in battlefield They're like not actually kill people. I would do it. Absolutely. It's so much fun. It is the most fun Yeah, the support jobs are fun. They really are you know because if you have someone knows what they're doing as a good support person, it makes the game so much better. And your team can just die. And you can contribute without exposing your shittiness

to shoot or something like that. That's true. That's true. And in Monday night combat, too, you have a gun. It's almost like the medics healing gun in Team Fortress. And you just go around and heal all your turrets, in which an Italian defense game is a big deal. And I don't really have figured it out yet,

but you can heal them up above their normal level. And when you get them up high enough, they actually get a faster rate of fire. Hmm, so it's a bit, I've enjoyed it. I hate tower defense and I like this game. Is that scramble mode that you're talking about? Scramble mode is a tough one. I was talking about the support characters ability to heal stuff. And I'm assuming he'd be able to heal characters when you play in crossfire mode, which is their

versus mode, essentially. But don't be surprised when you get in there and you're like, oh, this game is not a sports game. I'm fighting a bunch of, it's almost like horde mode or fire fight. It feels like a little bit at first, but then there's a whole other mode which you're supposed to play, which is crossfire, where you fight other teams of guys. Yeah, you fight humans and robots. Yes.

Pretty good round of summer of arcade titles this year. Yeah, man. It's been good so far. Yeah, it's a fact. I mean, Monday night combat and limbo team, like we both had a lot of people talking about. I think that's right. I think that's part of that too, right? Or was it not?

Uh, not sure. I, not sure, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't know. It's been a little bit of the sea. It was limbo, hydroothundere money and I combat Castlevania and Castlevania. I think those are the four and then Laura Croft Is that the last one? Yeah, and if you buy all five you get like 1200 Microsoft points or something It's basically getting a free game. Yeah

I think if you get three you get like 400 Microsoft points. I'm pretty excited for the Laura Croft game next week Yeah, yeah, it looks like a shadow complex clone And I like that game a lot. It seems like that's popular. Like there's that Lara Croft when you're talking about. And there's also the Russian attack remake that also looks exactly like a Shadow Complex game. Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah, speaking of simple games, have you seen the snake played on a college dorm video yet? Oh, and they put an outside of a building? Yeah, like using the lights inside of the building, they played snake on the side of a college dorm. I was feeling free out where it is. About half the people listening to me just won't understand what snake is. That's true. If you had a cell phone before year 2000, you know what snake is or doff or doff. Or doff. Or doff. Especially when it's games where you play a snake and you're like walking going around just a normal square blank, but as you eat things things your tail gets longer and longer and you can run into your tail

It's pretty cool though. That's a lot of coordination. Yeah, like I don't know if they put like individual lights or something inside the buildings Give you that there's like a red and a this sort of the yellow one. So anyway, it's pretty cool, you know I guess I'm being there. It's probably gonna be you know, I don't have to get a job. Yeah I guess being there is probably going to be, you know, one of the ones need to get a job. Yeah. He will always complain. No free time. Someone fucking made snake on the side of a college door. You get a fucking real job.

Are you 12 hours a class is a week overloading you? Yes, so bitter. So fucking, it's like, oh, I can't do anything. I got 15 hours, 15 hours. Really? How do you fucking manage? That must be so tall. Almost two eight hour days of work.

Edo, and every college student in the world will describe themselves as, so busy, I'm so busy. I have a class at nine a.m. I'm so, I can't believe that we're out this year, I gotta get up at nine. You're saying, did you get up at seven a.m. to go to high school for four years straight? It's gonna get to college and you gotta take 15 hours a week. I mean, so fucking stupid.

I'm so angry. What is the college? Why do you take eight hours of school a day? And that's just normal, but the moment you go to taking 15 hours, which is actually three hours a day, it's suddenly a major deal. And most people, a lot of people don't even take 15 hours. They take 12 instead. Yeah.

This is the key is getting those blocks where you can go take a nap deal. And most people, a lot of people don't even take 15 hours, they take 12 instead. Yeah. The key is getting those blocks where you can go take a nap between classes the middle of the day. Yeah. You know, you get out of class like 11 and then have your next class at 130. So you can eat and then take a nap and then go to your next class. Like now that I've been, you know, in the workforce for so long and, you know, working actual real hours, I wish I could go back to college. I wish, you could go back to college,

not to lay for you. No, no, no, no, no, no. And have it all taken care of. It's just, like now, I feel like I have a different work ethic. Like at the time, I'm sure I said the same thing. It's like, oh, 12 hours, 15 hours. This is so much work. I'm so busy.

Yeah, no, no, it was not. Why don't you take advantage of the Rooster Teeth College as a stage room? Or the RT camp? Yeah, Camp RT. People who are working, people after college, like that level of business, that sucks. Like, I mean, you talked the other week,

it goes this in the podcast where, you guys are your best friend, but you don't ever see him, right? And he's like your online buddy. And he and me and Puerto Rico didn't affect you. Not in the least. It really does get like that, where it's just like, you don't, you end up not doing the things with your friends because you're doing other things.

You know, you're busy with your, you know, house or you're busy with your life or whatever. That's why we all know Jack to shithead. Like we all don't give him. We don't like Jack. What? We don't like you. Nobody likes you. However, Jack is awesome because Jack is the guy where it's like, you call him up. It's like, hey, do you want to do do this? Like yep, let's go. It doesn't matter what it's like three in the morning. Hey Jack, what are you doing? I'm sleeping. It's like you want to go see inception. Yeah, I'll go what time three 15. Let's get going Let's go like last night. It was like we went to dinner. It's like five minutes notice like Jack You want to go dinner with me and this other guy? He's like sure I'll go which is like he doesn't He doesn't it doesn't look fabricate reasons not to do things like the perfect guy like you want to what hey You want to go to Vegas? It's like yeah, I'm gonna Vegas like you know, I think it maybe we should go to New Orleans instead of

Vegas because they have a casino's like I love it jacks up for anything in any point in time Well, it's he's got zero responsibilities in his life. That's and that's all that's just an excuse though Isn't that is it but that's my point though is that he's the single guy? Yeah, we know he doesn't he doesn't have a girlfriend who's bugging him You know, because even girlfriend to do that not just wives or a kid or something like that But girlfriends become the time suck. That's true. So are you one of Vegas? It's good Vegas, baby. That's what I gathered at that conversation. It's good to Vegas after pass right after the podcast

We talked about going to Vegas. That'd be fun. We should have a company outing to Vegas. Yeah Yeah, I would be down with that. Yeah, let's do it. I know these guys. I'll go. I'll hide Vegas. Keep it up. Yeah, you wouldn't go.

I maybe. Oh, what? Jeff's got another thing that he does. Where Jeff acts like he's that guy. Like he's easy going to do whatever. The thing is Jeff does everything in his house. You have to go to his house and do it. That is true. 100% true and then it's like if there's an event outside of his house he's like nah nah doing that

it's a good Jeff impression thanks you like when I go to I was going to go to gold class with Joel to see inception and what kept Joel from going, he really wanted to go, was he wouldn't buy his own ticket. Like he couldn't go through the process of purchasing his own ticket. It was just too much effort. Man, Joel, speaking of Joel, I had an interaction with Joel yesterday

that made me super nervous. I was like swamped, you know, I was doing dealing with website shit. And I was like in the middle of all that, and Joel was like, hey, can you go to the Colo and plug this hard drive in down there and upload some footage for me? That was like, listen Joel, I would love to do that normally,

but I'm super busy right now. If I give you the keys to the Colo, will you go and plug in the hard drive for me? And I'll upload it from here remotely. He's like, okay, I was like, you know, it looked for this one computer, it says this. It's got a USB port on front You just have to plug it in and he walked out the front door and it's like he's gonna fucking burn it all to the ground Is it? I was so nervous, but he went he plugged it in

There's a bad flavor in his hand. He he called he's like I plugged it in. Is it all good? He's like, yep, perfect great Lock it up and leave. So thank you, Joel. They're Joel Joel came through for me yesterday Joel hasn't yet come out of currently because he's been working on a ton of stuff. Yeah, he's busy lately. And I have, I have admittedly since we finished the season, I have kind of backed off on some other things we've been working on. The other guys have more than enough handle on, but I pack it up a little more. I'm almost,

I finished all my admin work today that I have been neglecting for a little bit like business things and got all caught up on that. So I need to go back in in production mode. Yeah, that's why Joel hasn't been on in a few weeks. He's been super busy. Dude's very busy. Mm-hmm. He is. Super super super busy. We, uh, hopefully hopefully in the near future we'll be able to accommodate more people. We've been talking about moving into the new building, right? And Bernie had a great idea the other day where we're going to try to set this up to where when we record the podcast and the new building we'll be able to pipe it out live to everyone in the office so that when we start talking shit about them they can come in and jump in and defend them. That's a great idea dude. That's like a very Howard Stern S. Yeah, that's awesome.

Right where they can hear they can hear the podcast as we're recording. We'll be talking and I'll send you a here footsteps. Oh shit, escalating. We bought a new mixer to accommodate up to eight people in the podcast. Things are ridiculous. By the way, it has to sit on my desk and make some good report. Did you approve that mixer? Dick Usbord? Yes, for the podcast.

He's like, doesn't need to mix that big. I think it's huge, dude. It's a master. We can finally do like eight mic inputs and all kinds of fancy stuff. Produce all our rap albums. Yeah. I'm working on Drake's next album. It takes pretty crazy I like to meet button. Are you sure we're not muted right now? Yeah, no, you're not muted. If someone's pissing me off

I can mute them try it. You can amplify us with the fuck you drop out of rights That's awesome. All right, you're back. No, man. Should have that kind of Life would love that button But yeah, it was it's cool I'm really excited to to utilize it and hopefully we'll be able to to set that up like you said Not to be cool in the grand scheme wasn't that expensive either It was yeah, so it's where this for production. That's right. It's cheaper than any single piece you could buy for our red camera It's for our Jesus you know kidding. It's super that it's screwed. Yeah, it's for our production that generates no revenue Yes exactly what happened with that whole survey thing

I don't know man. They they I guess they they can't sell ads no one wants to place ads on our podcast No one wants to sell ads to an audience where 54% of them lives at home Wasn't that what should we let's go over some of those stats because people have been diligently filling those out are you okay with that? Sure, I posted some of them in the Drunk tank form a couple long time ago probably a month two months ago. I'll look it up explain what we're talking about here. We Solicit it surveys from podcast listeners So they we could learn more about them to pass on to this company the Potrak and they I guess collect all the stuff and then try to sell ads

Placed in our podcast to advertisers. Do you think it was like the process? I was like giving them the survey. Pod Jack was like, great, thanks for all this data. Let's go find somebody and they're like, appetizer. A, we think you should advertise on this new gaming podcast and they go, great, what's it called? And they go, let's call drunk and they go, stop. That's enough.

We're not interested. It's like the same problem we had with drunk gamers. Yeah, where like no one wants to be associated with that necessarily. I you notice that we're, I don't know if they're trying to send it, but if you look at like the same problem we had with drunk gamers. Yeah, we're like no one wants to be associated with that necessarily. I you noticed that we're I don't know if they're trying to somebody if you look at like the highest rated explicit tag podcasts It's like I don't know if that's an honor that is that us really high rated explicit We were I mean at a corolla's thing I'm the overall list but like especially like the games and hobby section or like our little part of the universe are niche Yeah, we're always in that top 10 fighting fucking NPR.

NPR man. NPR is the pain of my fucking existence. Aren't they publicly funded? I mean, our tax dollars going to compete with us essentially. So some jackass can talk about cooking you logs. But they wouldn't talk about it in PR. And I get in trouble for buying a fucking mixer. I don't think he explicit tax showed up on the previous two podcasts

Not the last one, but they want to before that not a do I don't toggle explicit on individual Podcasts just overall flag. Okay for the for the feed for the record. I like NPR Not to two, but yeah, they're fucking assholes with their podcast is this American life on NPR? Yeah, yeah I've been watching the showtime version of that show. It's pretty cool. You still looking up data there? Yeah, 85% of our audience is under 24. 85% 94% of our audience is male. I'm surprised that we got that. What's up dudes? I'm surprised that it's a 6% female. That seems high to me. Sort of renamed this sausage fest. Podcast.

Let me see here. I can't think indigree is here. One percent of our audience has a doctoral degree. What the fuck? Wow. What are you doing? What a who that guy is. I hope he's not doing surgery while listening. No, he was trying to hit subscribe on NPR and hit ours.

It's like, five percent of our audience makes more than $200,000. That's probably, forget the advertisers, you fuckers send in a check. Let's go. Yeah, no kidding. You guys are fucking loaded.

So, uh, three percent, eight percent of our audience, uh, da, da, da, da, da, what's the name, I can do math here. Seventeen percent of our audience makes more than $100,000 a year. Wow.

So 17% that includes the 200,000, right? Yeah, it does. It does. So it's 9%, makes 150, 3% make a 150 to 200, and then 5% make this enormous 200 or over category. So what I'm reading from that is 5% of our audience are the liars. All right. What is your employment status? This is a good one. How many are students? I bet I'll be because let's get let's get employment status student is one of them right student is one. I'm gonna guess

60% student. I'm gonna get 68. I'm gonna go with 61 54% So you guys remember that we make us minutes and worse or and then 13% of audience is part time employed 24% is full time employed 24% is full time employed Not a lot of expendable and that might be what's holding his back. Yeah, good job guys 92% of our audience is single and has never been married six only six percent of our audience is married The six percent that's female. You love your wife? I do, I love her desperately.

I love my wife too. If you, well you've already been divorced though. I have. You're immediate. So let me talk to you guys. You love your wife? Yeah, I love my wife. If you ever got divorced, would you ever get remarried?

No. Okay, I wouldn't either. You might, I don't think so. If it was to have kids, you you might I just don't understand I don't understand overall the purpose of being married I I agree with you except in cases of children. I think it's good to be married. Okay. That makes sense That makes sense. Well Gus is not gonna have any kids anyway. Nope. Thank God for that. Thank you No, we don't only do we just not taking favor to humanity. These children that will never exist, they also thank you.

You're the good thing. Got you imagine being saddled with that burden. What kind of dad would gust be? Do you think? I don't know. I have like drill sergeant. I think you'd be like math, math, math. Like they would flash cards constantly.

I don't know. I just can't picture. Like could you be a spelling bee dad? I don't know. I think the way where the fuck they want on care. You. I don't know I think he would be very easy. I'm too lazy. I'm very hands-off. I'm too Yeah, see that too. It could one way one way or the other. Yeah, I'd be too busy with my video games or whatever the Fuck I want to do. I know that you need to be married to have kids. No, I think Kate hugs interned on fine Right and she's fair faucets. I'm married to Kurt Russell. She Fossil you mean Goldie him. Oh, yeah Goldie Han. I don't know if they're made or not. I'm married to Kurt Russell is she? Oh yeah Goldie Han I don't know if they're married or not I'm sure there's an exception every rule I don't think

you know kids I think I also I think it just helps legally if you're going to say get divorced down the road and you have to split the kid split the kid up helps you decide to get in the left side of the right side put in a box and saw him in half something like like that. Yeah, there's no that's true. No, this true Especially if you're a dude, you know, I think you have more protection being married What then you would and the like if you were just dating and she had the kid and she's gonna have a hundred percent Rights to the kid and this is a dude saying it. I mean, this is this is a dude like grousing about the dude Like the bias of marriage is like everything that seems to have like gone away in marriage He's like taking a out of the guys.

It feels like you know what I mean? It's like like you look at Tiger Woods for example, probably not the best example for a guy, but if he was single, nobody really really cared about this. You know what I mean? Like his thing like it wouldn't have been as big a deal. By the way, he posted record low for a tournament. For at worst time in his professional career, I think. Yeah, I'd be record low for it's like, it's wrong for golf, but worse score.

Yeah. Eighteen over par, if it goes. Yeah, that he's ever posted. He was second from the bottom. Yeah, out of 70 people, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I guess Mel Gibson's not married to that chick, but he's having all sorts of problems with

that. Sure. His things different, though. He's not cheating or anything. He's crazy. Just crazy. But I'm going to ruin those tapes for you. I know you enjoy listening to the Mel Gibson tapes. I know you liked them.

And you made that Nico Bellixing that was funny. We're Mel Gibson calls. I had a bellistence to it since then, for sure. OK. Every time I hear that girl talking to him, she sounds like the hot for words chick. I can't picture anything but the hot for words chick. I've always thought.

Nothing wrong with picturing the hot for words chick. He's a new word, you know, every time he calls her. Yeah, we should cut that together. Like the hot for words chick talking to them a new word, you know, every time you call us or yell to the city. We should cut that together like the hot for works they talk to Mel Gibson. Lord. Okay. How many children under the age of 18 are currently living in your household?

Now this is a weird one too because if people are under 18, they might count themselves. Or they have siblings. Or siblings, yeah. Yeah. So I'm just going to go backwards on this one. 92% of our audience has at least one kid under 18 living in their house.

1% of our audience is divorced. Also 1% of our audience is widowed. That's interesting. That is interesting. So it's good. Yeah, it is. But I mean, let's go the other way. Let's move away from the dead spouse thing

and go back to the divorce. Only 1% of audience is divorced. You think people are getting divorced less? Well, only 6 percent of our audience was married yeah I still say that's a owner fewer people getting married so that that that can't that can't that six percent could be people that have been many multiple times to that six percent could be people that are married multiple times that is true yeah because you would be divorced and married yeah

that's interesting yeah let me see though single single never married and then married yeah that's interesting yeah 90 percent of our audience is English is their primary language. So seven percent of our audience doesn't speak English is a primary language. We have more people that speak a foreign language as their primary language than are married. Essentially. Listen to us. That's really interesting. Does it give a breakdown of other primary languages? Like which are second most popular primary language? Spanish. Hola. And then the other one is why this really? What do you think the second most common foreign language spoken is primary language by people who listen to like Baudev cases? Queens English. British count. I'm going to say I think I fell out of English. I'm

going to say German. I'm going to say it's gonna be like a Scandinavian country. It's gonna be I want to say Swedish maybe Swedish look at all 62 people responded Swedish It's up sweet. We have a lot of Scandinavian traffic through Google Analytics. I see We have a lot of Scandinavian traffic through Google Analytics. I see Still to our Swedish listeners. Let me say What's the Swedish Japanese noise say?

I saw a Swedish movie on Netflix stream in the other day It was the girl with a dragon tattoo and every time someone fucking talked I kept thinking the Swedish chef Did you watch that did you watch that movie? Yeah, was it good? It was okay because I felt like people like that movie more than people talk about how it's great and then Frank like Our friend Frank like had to leave a party to go see it because it was such a big deal They were still showing it the doby and I started to watch it and I got about five minutes in and as soon as that girl With the black hair and all the lame goth stuff came on. I was like all right. That's it I can't watch her for two. It's very Cut and dry. There's nothing outstanding about it. They're making it right now with Daniel Craig though. I've heard the title a bunch and I have no idea what the movie's about.

Daniel Craig, I think Ellen Page plays the girl. I read some popular ass novel. Yeah, really popular. It's like a computer hacker or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's all I know. How much did you personally spend on internet-ordered items in the last 12 months?

Is this boring? Or do you think we want to know this? I'm sure they're good. I'm just... Did they filled it out? Then they'll know. I can't really know how to break that down. What the biggest category is $200 to $499. In the last 12 months? In the last 12 months. Purchase online. Only 16% of our people spent nothing online in the last 12 months. Perch is online. Only 16% of our people

spent nothing online the last. That 16%. I invite you to go to roosterteeth.com slash store and browse around for a few minutes. Probably they should get a credit going. We might as well as first step in that process.

Our deals can't be. They can buy a Visa gift card that they're grocery store. I am so f'ing sick of my credit card company contacting me, telling me there's a security problem with their shit. So they change my credit card number. And then I have to go through, I got my life down to 1 billion.

Really? Yeah. It happens like once every nine months, nine to 12 months. And I do a lot of shopping online, most of my shopping online, but they say, oh yeah, there's a, one of our merchants had a corrupted database and they lead numbers and we think yours might have been compromised So here's a new credit card number for you spend the next five days of your life Finding all the places where your credit card number is and replacing it. I'm going through that right now, too. It's the worst. Are you well? I have a question for you. Okay. What's that?

More and more places are starting to offer PayPal as a way to take payments Hmm, so set up a PayPal account put your credit card in there and then when your credit card gets compromised you change it one place Interesting interesting. Does that paypal take a percentage though? You know, everybody was asked that about PayPal every time I bring it up. I think they take it in the merchant They think it from the merchant they're taking it from you. Yeah And since you're running it you're still running it your credit cards. You're still getting mild rewards or whatever Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's good. That's cool. One point. That is a close guess. X.com. I finally gave in after all these years, I finally signed up for a

a miles card. Did you? Good. I booked our packs travel and it was sad because for the first time in probably five years, I have no elite status. I'm so close. Really? Yeah. And I was like, and I called and I was like I've got some upgrade points Can I get on the list on the standby for first class like no you're not even gold? It sucks question. I guess I don't have a ton of upgrade points and we can't spend them But I'm 23 and a half thousand so the flight two packs is gonna put me over and then we'll be able to request upgrades back Come away home is it 25,000 miles in a year to get gold status? Yeah, yeah, probably explain this. In order to... First world problem.

Yeah, in order to qualify for gold status on American Airlines, you have to apply 25,000 qualifying miles a year, or a number of segments which I don't know off the top of my head. Then to qualify for platinum level, which is the level above that, you have to apply 50,000 miles a year, then for executive platinum, which is the level above that, it's 100,000 miles a year. Which is a lot of miles. It is a lot. And it's like 10 trips to China. But being

gold is great because it lets you board early and it lets you request upgrades to first class. Yes. It's very without having to pay for a first class ticket. Right. Right. Which is nice. I think the only time I've ever played for a first class ticket is when you and I went to Scotland and I paid for us to come back. That was so worth it. That was a nice gift to you. Thank you so much, by the way. That was awesome. That was really awesome. Because we got off a plane, we got off of an 8-hour flight, we were perfectly fine. Yeah, and we got some kind of a thing that let us go to the line, like go through the line, too, because of our ticket. Yeah, normally, if you ever would get to the ticket. I would get to the ticket.

We get to the status you will also be able to skip security lines. Or there's a separate security line you can go through. Travel stories, by the way, Gus had platinum status at one point. And it was so useful to everybody else in the company because there was one year when right around Thanksgiving, I don't know where we were coming from. Who was Seattle, I think? Well, what were we doing? I don't remember what we were doing. You're talking about the time we were in San Jose, or?

We went to the San Jose airport. And the line for the security checkpoint went out into the parking lot. But the initial bullshit of that was that fucking San Jose airport. It was a, I remember this now, it was when we were getting out of Seattle because that's storm, right? We had to fly Alaska and air out or whatever. And we just changed planes in San Jose, but they, they made us go out one terminal through

security again to get into the other terminal because we changed terminals which really sucked. It sucked. I mean we we were in line. We couldn't believe how long this line was. It was I'm not joking. The line left the airport and went into the port. The people in line in front of us. It was a mother and her daughter and the daughter's like, oh look here's our car. They had parked, gone into check-in, then come back to their car to get in line security. They were they were here's our car. They had parked, gone into check-in, then come back to their car to get in line security. They were behind their car. They were behind their car.

They went past their car to get in line. Think about that. This is a J-A-R-D animation waiting to happen, by the way. And, uh, but so anyway, luckily we're standing there. And we're like, there's no way we're going to make our next flight. Our flight was like 40 minutes from now. There are literally 500 people in front of us. Maybe more.

It was more than 500 and Gus goes Fuck this I'm gold Or I'm platinum. Yeah, I take care of this And we'll excuse me and he walked us all through the line We got right through security in like two seconds because there's a special aisle for platinum holders But for first class first class and you get to use all the first class amenities if you're platinum if you're platinum. Yeah, So it was very cool. That's like I'm there with me.

Likewise, I'm now up to I'm up to one with everything all the affinity programs in man. I'm to 1.9 million frequent flyer miles on American on American. And I'm about to do million. Yeah. Hopefully soon. And when I was in Toronto, we were with my family. We took a vacation. We

went to Niagara Falls. That was fun. And we got through God bless We were it was with my family. We took a vacation. We went to we went to Niagara Falls That was fun and we got through God bless American because it was a huge snafu that morning And we were told that we were not going to be able to check in for the flight that we were beyond it But the guy at the gate was like looked at all of our information and was like, okay I can handle this for you like American is really that loyalty program. They are great about that You know which to someone who never flies like that's a bunch of bullshit, but for guys that fly every fucking day and we're not those guys, but business guys who that's they get on a plane three or four times a week, they got to be able to go to someplace that's going to honor that, you know what I mean?

They're not, they're not the jackasses who are like singing security reading the signs, wondering what to do. I mean this is a part of their business and I, emergency airlines have a lot of problems, but I love them for that fact, is that they do like, okay, we're gonna work with you on this. We'll figure that out. When I had platinum for those several years in a row, like I had a special help desk phone number,

I could call it American. And when I called it, it was no automated message. It was someone who picked up, I was like, thank you for calling American Airlines, Mr. Sorola, how can I help you? You know, it's, they address me by name. That's awesome. And there's no, you know, IVR

It's just they I guess they tie your phone number to your account I called from my phone They knew it was me and they have like my attenuaries and everything up in front of them already and that's that school I mean yeah, that best by thing I've been telling the best by my freaking phone number Every time I buy something like what the hell am I doing this and the person behind the counter once said You know you got like a bunch of these coupons left Do you want to use some of them walk over that key asking print them out? I put out a hundred dollars worth of just vouchers a best buy really so I got a free Xbox controller and a couple DVDs

I've never used any of my coupons from the reward you can do it in the store Yeah, that's awesome. They put that computer in there. It's awesome. It's cool man. It's really cool I like that kind of stuff and that's that's the kind of thing that you know you think all right I'll go back and I'll use this again, which is the point of it right? All right, how much did you spend on computer software for your home in the past 12 months? 24% everybody and spend nothing on computer software really They're torn things fucking thieves They're counting games. They don't realize the count like even Xbox games and something like that

And then last week you guys were talking about how all the work you guys did on the videos during crunch, and everyone else has taken a break while you guys are still working on videos. No, we never said we were working on videos during crunch. If you go back and listen, I'm sure we never said that. He gets you. We were working on videos hard during crunch dude and though we're

To an extent not really. We talked about like some of the work that's gone in, but to get into specifics about instability at the moment would, I feel more comfortable talking about it once it's resolved, if that makes sense. The thing is we're working on some speedfixes, which means we're turning off services occasionally and also we're, what we have to do on the fly. Yeah, we have to see what breaks and how it breaks, you know, and when, when stuff breaks,

sometimes I can't touch it, I have to let it sit and see what it does. So we're to evaluate it. We're in the tweaking period right now. Right. There you go. I'm taking a call from my wife right now. Hey, what's up, baby? I'm muted him.
