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 Drunk tank Hey, welcome to the podcast Truly inspired those are very efficient at my son and must have required a lot of work to get that one pumped out Who was that? Oh, Ratchet? I think you see put his name. I don if it says you've seen him on the website or if that's what his mother named him. His name is longer than his intro. Ratchet, I get to get to call you to say his name that I did to listen to his song. His name has as many syllables as the song did. I just want to remind the audience that participation in the drunk tank theme song, sentence, they're not compulsory. You don't have to say that. That feels like something that like he had a deadline that he had to meet for the drunk tank send

in and he decided. I mean I got to sing out that. And it was rated adequate. And that's what we used to. Maybe he said his outpoint a little too early. Like he was trying to export a little bit of the clip. Yeah. I don't know. Send those entries to podcast at roosterteeth.com and maybe YouTube can be like ratchet. How big a backlog do you have? Uh, it's pretty big. I think that entry was from late July. Really?

Yeah. Wow. Has Jeff mentioned how long of a backlog we have on the Fails of the Week? No. We have over 2,000 entries for Fails of the Week. Why don't you tell me what Fails of the Week is first of all? Fails of the Week is a Halo series that we do on Achievement Hunter every Friday, where we show about, you know, 10 to 12 clips of horrible failures in Halo Reach. And we have people submit them online, and then we go through and pick out our favorites

and then post it in a video. And Jeff and I do commentary for it. We're up to week six, I believe. But anyway, we've had literally over 2,000 entries, which I think means we're good for the next three years. So, you're saying some people don't send anymore in? I mean, you can. This is going to be a while before we get to them. Do you watch all 2,000 entries? Do you have the audience and the community somehow vet these entries?

No, I go through them all and watch them myself. And then I pick them out. And Jeff, Jeff, yeah, I made it very clear. For me to vote it. No, Jeff made it very clear that he doesn't want to see them because he wants to see them for the first time when we watch the video to do the commentary for it. I think, well, I should do that. He's really lazy and this will, I mean, he has a full, yeah. It's all about his process.

Exactly. I just wanted to point out he does the exact same thing for cleaning the kitchen. He's like, I just don't want to be surprised by the germs. Oh, what's up with him? Didn't Matt set like a very ambitious schedule for everyone to like, pitch in and start cleaning the kitchen, which instantly got derailed. I think you were supposed to create the schedule.

I was. Yeah, no one told me that. I think you we determined you were the logistics guy. What? You can tell with the best like round, rough inversion of a schedule that have everybody in this office taking out trash. All right. You do get guess who has the least amount of time to be the kid in this guy

I think today is Jeff day was why he's he's not sick today. Yeah, he has a sore throat. Oh, okay Jeff has a sore throat. He's not coming in there. I was like oh poor baby. Does he have a boo boo? He thinks he has a He does Bernie and I had to come in today that he didn't have AIDS because he heard something. I was above the love sponge he was listening to. I'm not serious. That's not your vibe. I'm above the love sponge. Dr. Love's Bunch.

We just kind of set this up. We had, we participated last night in Wootstock, which is an Austin, which is a kind of a variety show. It's like a geek variety show. It's like Paul and Storm, who are two musicians, Adam Savage from Mythbusters Usually as Will Wheaton participates. He was one of the four founders But he was unable to make it yesterday, so they replaced them with Neil Gaiman and the author Yeah, the author Neil Gaiman and a few other people like some local guys and some you know

Like step two from Microsoft. They're was there Molly at the ukulele player. Yeah, Molly We'll get back to it in a second But basically we had to go downtown which it was literally gusts. It was the theater right next door to our old office. How convenient. Yeah, the first time that's ever coming handy we're no longer in that office. So we had to go down for a sound check and Griffin and Jeff and I went at about what was it 3 30. Yeah, it was great. And then the show was at seven. So we had a video that we were contributing which I'll get to back to in a second as well, but we had to go down test to make sure It sounded okay over the speakers and then we essentially had about three and a half hours to kill Before we had to be back at the theater and so Griffin

I went to a coffee shop with Jeff who is sick and I guess I discovered for the first time that if you give Jeff enough downtime He will think of the worst possible scenarios for what's wrong with him He doesn't get sick often but when he does he's like a huge winner. Is he a woman? enough downtime, he will think of the worst possible scenarios for what's wrong with him. He doesn't get sick often, but when he does, he's like a huge winner. Is he a woman? Jesus. No, that's a guy thing, man. Women take sickness a lot better than guys.

I don't know about that. Have you been sick since you've been married? Yes, I have. I got sick. Remember I got a miss like a week of work. Super sick. A couple of months ago. I did not think I had AIDS, though. You didn't? No. You've been sick. Never crossed my mind. He's also terrible at taking care of sick people. I was, I'm sick.

I really am terrible at that. That first day I got really sick. I was, I was still trying to work from home like I was taking phone calls. I had a conference call that day. I was like doing stuff for our, our, our moving to this building. Right about it. And I was on a conference call and all of a sudden I got super sick and I had to, I was laying in bed.

I had to mute my iPhone, throw up in the back doors to my house and just start throwing up like in the middle of a conference call and all of a sudden I got super sick and I had to I was laying in bed I had to mute my iPhone throw up in the back doors to my house and just start throwing up like in the middle of a conference call I mean the people on the call were like, Gus are you there? Are you there and had to unmute it for a second? I was like hold on hold on one second I'm just like listen guys, I gotta reschedule this like I can't handle this nice the best story I ever heard like that Throwing up is great, but there was a guy. No. Yeah this guy we used to work for guys and he was on a conference call once years and years ago and there's this big like he was hold on a second there's a big bang bang bang like something hitting something and then like what is that he goes oh I'm working from home today and I just had to kill a rattlesnake

I was talking to these guys in New York and I guess a rattlesnake and crawled about his patio and he had a kill with a hoe. So how's he asking if the bangs were shots? No, if you shot fucking rattlesnake. And you know what, if anywhere in the world could shoot a snake it'd be that guy. That's just like keeping the like stereotypes about Texas and people who live in Texas is going. It was so endearing to the people in New York.

This guy killed a rattlesnake. I got a conference call. He somehow saved our life. Yeah. So you said there was someone named, there was a ukulele player at the thing last night. Was it the same ukulele player who was at PAX? It was and I apologized to her for being

part of that horrible train wreck in the field. And so hopefully, hopefully she took that heart. Her name is Molly and she's really funny and great ukulele player player. And we were part of this late night talk show for PAX and I think you guys talked about it once when I wasn't on the podcast. Yeah we we give a we give a very brief overview. You can even I can feel the rage like because we were asking for this late night podcast which is essentially one of these little side halls atX, and we were going to be the first guest.

And we, us, was going to be this Molly lady, the ukulele player, and then, what's the two names? The other guy from Dig that's not Kevin Roves? Alex Albrecht. So, I'm not going to put this. We kind of did as a favorite of Port Fry to do it, and you know, they needed, they needed another guest, so we said, sure, we'll do it. And it's the end of the day it packed where already

was laterated to right and everything and it was just end of day it was like midnight it was midnight so we were like hanging around the convention hall much later than normal and I just just to be clear we were gonna be on the show with Alex Albrecht and I thought man I should really be up to date on my Alex Albrecht information in case we're sitting on stage And I have to talk to him. I don't want to be like, oh, you know, hey, you know, what are you up to and like I so I'm backstage Literally like tapping into my iPhone on Wikipedia and reading up on Alex Albrecht like getting up to date on his you know Project lore, you know totally red show everything he's doing

Right, you want to have an intelligent discussion right because I don't want to be a freaking dickhead in front of an audience will we get out there and the guys who are doing this thing they they boy i told you i said we have two modes we have funny and we have ugly and they put us into ugly mode right away because they didn't know our names they just they said come on out they didn't even bother not only did they not know our names they call us by the wrong name that is true and worse and uh... and all the people who are there to see us are

like what the hell and so like they call what they call us by the wrong name that is true and worse and all the people who are there to see us are like What the hell and so like they call what they call you guys Frank? I think I was Frank and I and I just stood up turn I'm like who the fuck is Frank and then then we just proceeded like these guys were completely entirely unprepared So we just decided what the fuck let's make we'd lemonade We kind of destroyed the first segment of the show Which I think a lot of people appreciate it because it was this warm-up period beforehand when we're backstage And it was pretty clear that well, yeah, they had technical problems that lasted for about an hour

While we're standing there. We're standing there waiting. Hey, you know what you can do in this time No problems as a host of a show you probably read up on your guess That would be a good idea. What's that the iPhone? Anyways, the phone there was some magical device that fit in your pocket that was connected to a worldwide web of information So Molly was on after us and she salvaged everything from what I understand we got out there pretty quickly after we derailed that was of course The pack thing not woodstock which happened last night. Yeah, no No, no, I have woodstock. It was a very professional event everybody understood what they were doing and they were they were awesome

Paul and Stormman they're like they they remind me more of the bear naked ladies than any other band that I've ever seen. Part of the bear naked ladies, if you've never seen them in concert, is the fact that they just know each other so well, they just sit up there and riff, and it's like half comedy, half music. And Paul and Stormbrow, I can say 75% comedy

and 25% music, because their music's very funny too. When, what you were saying about being prepared, well the vernacular lady's saying them, they always talk about stuff local, they go out and explore the town, they have something to talk about, like that relates to people who live there and like Paul and Storm seem really interactive with the guests and the audience was cool. Yeah, it was neat event, a lot of fun. And steptoes, it was great. But while we're killing time waiting to, show to start, watching Jeff in that coffee

shop was pretty damn funny. He doesn't even think like, he just goes straight to AIDS. So how did it start? Was he just like, I don't feel so good? He was exactly it. He coughed, so he has AIDS. Pretty much that was it. I guess he was listening to something where he said it was bubble the last one.

I've never listened to a show. Not Howard 101. Okay. yeah. So he had heard, they had a guest in who has HIV positive and was talking about how you discovered you've saved every positive. He, I guess, ate a sore throat and went into the doctor and got to, and then tested and found out he was HIV positive.

So Jeff assumed of course, because his throat is sore that that's the obvious conclusion. You know, I think I mentioned it. I guess he was coughing a bit in the office yesterday. Now, he was, it was pretty funny. They were recording audio, Gryffin and Jeff were recording audio for a fable video. And I was sitting next to him. I was in it and it was literally Jeff hit record.

He goes, Hey, there's a Jeff from a cheap monitor. Yeah, he stopped. We got to re record that one. Actually, on all of the videos, like he was sort of trying to hold it together. And at the end, like he would just like, he's just coughing like crazy. He just had that off. So all those like three videos yesterday, he was just like, it was pretty funny. He had that professionalism though. We got a fucking soldier through it. Power through. No, he was fine. He did, he did, uh, he did say,

Fag on stage in front of the entire Paramount audience. I pulled the eject cord quickly after that. I figured we lost 10 to 15% of the audience right then. We were talking about, you know, we're not used to live audience interaction, we're used to YouTube, so we don't really understand audience feedback and let's completely misspell or grammatically incorrect. You have to somehow talk in all caps. He's done the whole audience, he's done the entire theater to call him a fac. I was like, thank you, good evening. We're going to take you later. Bye, it's going to be here in Austin

for the 365th day in a row. It was fun though. If they had said, we didn't really know what to expect at all. We're video guys. And we kept telling them, we're not live stage guys. We do Q&As and packs, and we're very comfortable with that. But like, per-arranged bits or stuff like that,

is just not our thing. We're good in editing so is this woodstock thing like does it travel I guess it has like yeah the ball is today huh yeah interesting I gotta say I don't want to rake anybody but I've someone who had a great time meeting at that event was the guy who draws Fox trot Bill Ammond oh yeah he was really cool very cool dude and I mean I have to read that comic I asked him and he said even drawing for 22 years is that right i think i said yeah yeah i

mean i'm pretty sure i was reading uh... fox trot middle school you know and uh... i just i checked out his website so it's like that fox trot dot i see uh... gate from penny arcade retweet some of the stuff sometimes and they have exchanges he goes to the back yeah so i mean we should i mean he's a really cool guy and For some reason I thought I thought I was so stupid. I thought everyone in this show was from Austin Like I thought Neil Gaiman was from Austin I thought I'm in was from Austin. I just need to get the fact that they flew in for this event

We were like the only local guys that the thing essentially. That's funny out of all of Austin. We were chosen to represent the city Not that gets you I mean, I don't know, you know, if you're on the internet, I don't know that being local really matters all that much. The important people were out voting yesterday, I guess. I guess so. There's an election or something. Hey, are you gonna be doing a achievement hunter stuff for Connect when that comes out this week? We've talked about it. We're definitely gonna be picking up A Connect, but we'll see how we're gonna do a achievement hunter video. Yeah, how are you doing? I'm just gonna be you, I'm jumping around. I think ultimately that's probably what's gonna happen.

We're literally like point the camera at us and then also capture at the same time. I can only imagine nothing but embarrassing videos coming out of that. Nice. I'm not doing it. After what you guys did to me on the skate video. I'm not going anywhere near that connect. You didn't know what it's only on. You tried to do you on the skateboard? Yes.

God, that was funny. That was pretty funny. H-shit. I almost died laughing. You can hear me wheezing because I couldn't breathe anymore in the video. Is that up somewhere for people to see? It's in my videos on the site. Oh, yeah.

Oh, we should have put it in the link dump. And on YouTube. Is it on YouTube? I think you blasted that out to all our partners. Yeah, you did. Thank you, Jack, for that. No problem. I think we bought ad that out to all our partners. Yeah, you did. Thank you, Jack, for that. No problem.

I think we bought ad space through Google TV. But yeah, last night was a lot of fun. Talking with Adam Savage was pretty cool. That was pretty neat, because I actually checked my T-vo to make sure I was recording all the election night coverage stuff. And I noticed that in my schedule recordings was mythbusters, and I was standing literally right next to Adam Savage and I was like, that's kind of neat little surreal.

You were checking your DVR over your phone? Yeah. Who do you have service to? It's Tivo. Oh nice. Yeah, Tivo. I have time Warner cable but at Tivo DVR. Yeah, I think so.

Time Warner starting to roll that service out for smart phones and I know 18 to you versus has that. Yeah. I didn't realize Tivo also had that as well. Yeah, Tivo's had like web, you know know web scheduling for a long time. Yeah, but yeah Yeah, I did it to the website. Okay, so it was easy. I don't know they probably have an app But I've been checked if God thinks you're at least the little even the least bit on hand I should say with your time Warner service he will jump on you and try to get you to change

Don't them I hate time Warner. I'm doing it on Twitter the other day with a flash Hey, it's like you wait. You must have like an alert. Like I'm not going to get into the whole ordeal, but I used to live at this other house before I bought my house. I rented a house, right? Right? And my time Warner service was great unless the temperature dropped below 45 degrees or went above 95 degrees. That's every day except for two. Yeah, within that temperature range, everything worked great. But the second that range was, you know, out of that range, everything stopped working. And it was just call, after call, like, oh yeah, when it sent someone out tomorrow, then, you know, no one shows up. And what happened? Oh yeah, we didn't escalate to a supervisor. Supervisor call you right back. No one calls, you know, it's just the same bullshit. And then eventually,

you know, three weeks later, they sent someone out. It's like, oh yeah, the equipment's bad up on the pole. We're gonna have to replace that mom it's like I will say I power cycling my fucking modem 20 times isn't gonna fix it I will say on to maybe not a defense but I had an issue with time Warner recently where my I got home and it was a world series game on my cables out and so I called up time Warner and it was busy and I'm like oh that's good so I got on Twitter and it started railing against time Warner and almost immediately the time Warner Warner, like Twitter account, responded to me and said, we have someone in Austin working on it.

We know what's going on. We'll have it fixed soon. So that was kind of cool. At least they were able, like, they were keeping an eye out and seeing that, you know, people were upset. They actually were like, okay, no, no, we're trying to fix it. So that was neat. Having for a bit, they are able to answer the phone.

Yeah. That actually happened to me, that same kind of thing. And you, it's one of the cooler things about Twitter amongst a lot of very, uncooled things about Twitter, is that I was in Seattle with Joel. We were working on a commercial. And I just tweeted, hey, anybody in Seattle know I've got time for one burger before I got to catch a plane.

A plane, by the way, Gus, I have now broken 2 million frequent flyer miles. Congratulations. I'm that great. You're like George Clooney now. Am I? Yeah. 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 No, no, it was Red Mill, Red Mill up in Seattle, which are good burger places. I think just you were like every other person on Twitter telling me not to go to five guys because you have one in Austin But that wasn't the point. It's like where should I go? Yeah, and then E from Xbox live

He directed us to lunchbox box laboratory in Seattle that was That was amazing. It was I can't even just I give you a picture of it It was the most amazing burger ever had in my life had like half a pound of bacon on it was great But the weird thing was that commented how no one was voting for burger master, and then burger master gets involved in the conversation. They're Twitter account. They're like, we agree with you. I was like, what? That's not weird. Yeah, that's not the way the restaurant is getting involved in where I'm going to go eat. That's not what I mean. It's awesome awesome before. Like I've got this whole Twitter relationship with me, Madreys.

The Taco place, yeah. I Twitter one time that I was looking for some hot chocolate or something downtown and some coffee shop in Austin, like Twitter to me. They're like, if you come in now, we'll get you half off. Wow, shit, that's cool, you know? That's, it's strange. What time, I was having a lot of prams

with Bank of America and I was fucking taking it out and they're on Twitter and their Bank of America helps Twitter account reply to try to be helpful. Not helpful. They're great at making it look like they're trying to help but they didn't do shit. And how fast is the service if everyone's on Twitter? And how fucked up is that? I couldn't get someone on the phone to help me.

You know, I couldn't get someone go walking into a bank to help me but I make an angry Twitter about it and someone replies right away. I don't like that. I don't like it at all. Why not? It seems really convenient for you. Yeah, but they didn't do anything though. They just make it look. They give a public perception that they're doing something to try to help, but then there's

no follow-up. People don't see that lack of follow-up or that lack of satisfaction. It's just a facade. It's all bullshit. Bank of America should go bankrupt. I'm going to do everything I can to help. You tell me something on Twitter is bullshit. I can't believe that.

Bigger than Twitter is, I come in and will help you out. And then the Bank of America Twitter account goes, having a bad day. I've got a kiss of the Monday. Stalks down 2%. I can really use some coffee. Bigger than Facebook worked that way too if like you just like change your relationship status to it's complicated and then random women from your town I understand you're complicated All this mortgage documentation is difficult. I'm just gonna sign it without reading it

Anyway, oh man. I'm actually pretty happy. I'm actually pretty happy with Bank America right now I'm my bank and I've been they've given me like a bunch of tools, you know, because we have our business accounts there. They've given us, I'm wondering if I say something like that. I'm always worried like, I'm gonna say we have a bank account, Bank of America and I'm gonna look, as soon as I get on with the podcast, where I have zero dollars in American account,

I'm gonna say somebody hacked it. Like that's all I would take to know is that we have an account of Bank of America and we're gone. And we had a problem with that, because that fire, that fire sheep thing came up when I was in Seattle too. Right. And we're a little behind the curve on that because you and I discovered it probably what four days after it came out. I'd heard about it. I told you I heard about it already when you sent me that message. I know, but I mean I hadn't really like I had I guess I hadn't read about it and I guess

you don't feel the need to mourn us about security issues then when they've said that's on you. Do you guys know what it is? You know, fire sheep is? I have, I skimmed that email. Oh yeah, what's that? I sent an informative email. So it's a pretty interesting thing where you can basically put a plugin in Firefox. And the best way to describe it is it's like Napster for hackers where, you know, when Napster came out suddenly everybody was pirate because they could just type in what they wanted. Yeah. In search bar and they could get it.

And it's that same kind of thing where you can just put a plugin and firefox, get on the network, it's Starbucks, the Wi-Fi network, and you can just start pulling up people's accounts who are logged in through the same Wi-Fi network and take over a variety of different websites. It's pretty interesting. Yeah. But it doesn't seem to have had a major impact. I think it has, maybe not for us.

We don't go around using these public hotspots as much. It's easily, you know, it's not as bad as initial reaction may have been to it, because you have to be connected to a Wi-Fi network that has no web or WPA key, which is, you know, like most places in the public, you go to a coffee shop that's not going to be a key. But if you're using it at home or at work, it's not a big deal, not an issue. Or if you use VPN when you're out and about, you're still fine. But I mean, for most people who aren't aware of it, I'm sure it's a big deal and they get their shit hijacked.

Does that affect like phones and stuff too? Like if I was only iPhone and a really? Like if you're using your browser, so they could just go, well, I guess so. Okay. It's all web traffic. It's not dictated by the browser. Should be clear. It affects your phone if you're connected to the Wi-Fi network there.

They obviously can't get on the cellular network and do that. Right? Right. Unless they're at the demarcation point at the phone company. In which case you've got other problems if there's someone there. What if they're in your traffic? To clarify, it's just web traffic stuff. So it's not like if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, it's like in your pocket you didn't realize that

they can't pull up your dress book or anything like that. I mean if you, I mean, it depends if you had like a Facebook page that refreshed, I guess. Yeah, or if you have your contacts on your Facebook. Outside of Safari on my, oh no, no, no, like they can't go through and pull stuff from my address book or whatever. Okay. Well, let's be clear There's nobody probably yeah, yeah, with fire no no, but with this little easy like click a button in your hacker tool No, did you see there was a okay? I guess it's my job to warn of security exploits. Did you see there was a Another exploit that can be performed on an iPhone if you have a locked iPhone in your hand and you don't know the code

You can trick it into unlocking the address book and into making phone calls Another exploit that can be performed on an iPhone, if you have a locked iPhone in your hand and you don't know the code, you can trick it into unlocking the address book and into making phone calls. No, yeah, I don't remember the exact procedure, but it's something like you hit the emergency phone call button, enter gibberish, then as it's trying to dial, you lock it and unlock it real fast, and then it pulls up the contact list.

So I can see someone's phone and call all their friends or get all the contacts. I can. But the iPhone, call all their friends or get their contact all the contacts I could they have But the iPhone's I'm does the iPhone have the standard feature Do I have it to mobile me where you can wipe it remotely? I'll be me that's pretty I it's not a nine bucks a year and if first mobile me Just seems like a service you should just have anyway, but yeah It comes with lots of cool stuff like you can track your phone and like when you lose your phone

You can just pull it up on Google Maps and see exactly what your phone is. Brandon had to do that when he lost his phone. He put it on top of his car. And drove off and he found the exact intersection of where it was crushed. It was still transmitting crushed. No, I think it was transmitting up to the point where it got crushed and it had like last known location and it was still there. My phone actually I got mobile me after my phone was stolen from a bar. Yeah, that sucked. How'd your phone get stolen from a bar?

Um, I was working for Apple with a prototype. No, I just set it down on, I had it like corner to myself, sort of, with my friend we were playing pool. And the corner was empty and I just set it on the table for like two seconds and turned around to take it out and then I turned back and it was gone. And then I made everyone in the bar empty their pockets until the owners asked me to leave. Yeah, and they were not helpful. I was like, listen, I had 400 pictures of my daughter on there. And like I kind of I cried and I flipped out and they were just like, you're making the guests uncomfortable. So now I am back there.

Maybe the guest was making you uncomfortable by stealing your phone. That's what I said. So I don't go there anymore and everyone, all my friends, you want to go there and hang out. I tell them they can't. So it's liberty. Don't go to liberty. OK.

I was going to ask if you want to disparage them. What's liberty, liberty lunch to liberty okay i was gonna ask you don't have to disparage them what's liberty libert liberty lunch it's no liberty it's this uh... like punk kind of bar on the east on the six street uh... and they have like a i think they have is it uchi they have put in like a little trailer in the back guest you know uh... not on what the trailer trailer for uchi in the back that's a sushi but but uchi's like kind of branching out like they've got what is it you know and i think they've got like a little trailer now that's like more bar foody kind of stuff.

I don't know, because not everyone can eat it like Uchi because it's pretty expensive. That's one of more things about it, right? Sushi out of a trailer, would you be there? No, but they do. No, it only goes on social media. This is somebody from Jeff. So it may not be Uchi, but I feel like it was. At least the people that own it, she opened up an app or another trailer or something behind this bar.

Now that you should go there or even be interested in this. I don't know if Jeff would recall it. HIV really affects your memory. I only did it in two weeks. He's taking Jeff and turned him into somebody who's bad and bad and has HIV. He's not, I never said he was bad. So this is a correlation. He's a side-h not, I never said he was bad. He's bad, he's bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad,

he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad,

he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he's a bad, he like stealing stinks. Yeah. Jackie went through that whole thing and then I had a laptop stolen from me and that was like like about eight you know eight months ago

or something like that and I said I'm gonna go without a laptop because I kind of tethered to my laptop too much and it was an ambitious experiment. It was and it worked for a while but I just found at home I needed a laptop every now and then and as now a Mac person which I guess that I am I've learned when you want something don't buy it wait until they have one of their show them off shows and then buy it then so I bought the the Mac book air day one that it came out can have been waiting to buy a laptop and I like it I got the 13 inch one it's quiet here listen you can hear it and it light. And I just use it for web and screenwriting. You haven't had any trouble with it because I see some people are reporting like hardware

trouble with their MacBook Airs. They're complainers. I'm not being okay. No, I don't know. I have a thing where when I have a product, I'm not one of those people that's like, just talks about how great it is. You know, there's a lot of people that are defensive. Like if they own something, if something, I will complain about something.

Don't buy this. Don't buy this you can play very loudly. Yeah, but this on this one I'd say my biggest complain about it is the fact that The keyboard's not backlit and every other Mac notebook the keyboards backlit and surprising how much I miss that That's kind of surprising. Yeah, surprise and then I miss it surprise and it'll have it a surprise and then you miss it Like I can't mad like well you also you you you you hunt and pack with your fingers, right? I do Seriously, I've probably written in the last eight years I

Like 2500 pages of I can't even I wouldn't even know I'd have to count it up But yeah, I type with four fingers total that's creating index finger and the middle finger on either hand That's got a drug you crazy a little bit Why don't you just learn how to type I don't know I just never learned how to type I have a degree in CS and I'm a screenwriter I can't imagine a skill that would come in more handy or someone like that. I remember like typing I remember the day I spotted you doing that. I was like is that a joke? No, that's how you type. Yeah, that's that's crazy to me It's pretty the most useful class I took in high school the fucking typing class. Yeah, that's that's crazy to me. It's pretty the most useful class I took in high school is a fucking typing class

Yeah, no shit. I got middle school. You were you were shortening your life for any of the stress I probably am but I just I don't know what's that never took typing in class. I mean in high school It was just you know, it was literally typewriters. Yeah, I use fucking typewriters. Wow. Oh God We had like these Cassie-looking keyboards that they had a little LCD screen on the very top. It was like one line, you know, typing to that. It was like, letters would come out and you have to hit them as they scrolled across. I had a computer with a keyboard because I was really young.

It totally relates to anyone listening. I learned on IBM's Selectrix. You know, this fucking stereotypical typewriter that you always see with that little wheel of letters. Oh cool Like the ncv news. Don't fucking patronize me You know, I just learned that you can change the Xbox live keyboard to a Quarty layout if you want to I didn't know you can do that I just use the chatpad all the time so I guess I don't know Change the wordy on your sluggish So I can yeah, see like I can type as fast with my thumbs on a chatpad or an iPhone as fast as I can type

on a great keyboard. It's not wrong with that, right? You know, I installed that new Xbox dashboard update the other day, and I don't, it's anecdotal, but I think it really helped my load times and fall out in New Vegas. How is that? I have no idea, because my load times were fucking terrible. Because his load times were like a joke. Like, I showed Jack, he couldn't believe it.

No, it was shocking. Like I would go through a door and I would literally load for four or five minutes. Every door, four or five minutes. And I feel like my load times have been quartered by, I don't know if it's the update. Just around the same time I installed the update, my load times are mysteriously now a quarter

of what they were before. Did you just like avoid doors for a while? Yeah, like anytime, like there was one person in particular I'd have to visit it at Hoover Dam And I knew she was behind four doors I'd be like oh fuck I tried to do as many questions I could to turn them all in at once That way I could minimize the amount of time to go through those doors. Yeah There's a lot of doors and fall out to you at the strip and it's just like oh you have to go through this gate This gate and this gate. Yeah, now go upstairs

But I'm much better. I'm actually enjoying the game again now. So are you, I've read a lot of things about Fallout New Vegas and not all of them are positive. You are enjoying the game. Bottom line. I'm enjoying the game asterisk. That game is fucking buggy. I encountered a bug last night where like I have this gun that I got for a purer during the game at GameStop. It's a weather 10 millimeter pistol and I've been using this gun a lot throughout the game and last time I found a mod for it. It's a laser sight and I was like oh great you know this will help me you know this will help the weapon be even better if I continue to use it. I put the laser

sight on the gun and I go back to playing the game and suddenly everything looks like it's I'm looking at it through a red filter. It's like what the fuck's going on? I put my gun down and it goes away. I was like well, that's weird I'm putting the gun back up and there's a red filter So I switch a third person perspective and there's a giant red square on me with a white exclamation mark in it Because no one modeled that gun with that mod on it really yeah So anytime I use that gun now I have to look at everything through a red haze And there's no way you can unmod the gun, so I can't fix it. I can't take that mod off to use my gun regularly anymore.

Wow, that's crazy. You don't have a save or anything you need to up back to. I guess I could, but I don't want to lose that time. Do you have the game here with you today? No, I'm not to bring it in. I'm going to copy if you have your game or tag here. No, I'm not to bring both in, so I can show you how much quicker my load times were, and I forgot about it on my fucking table. And I'm not going to pretend like I understand a lot of everything about game development,

but from what I understand, like models are one of the hardest things to update. But for whatever reason, like you can't add a new character into, say, like, left for dead, you know, they can't update Halo with new armor sets, you know, that would have been an obvious thing, right? They could just, over the life of Halo 3, so DLC packs for a different armor. Didn't Mass Effect 2 have a DLC with Zayed They had different costumes that you can get for those characters no, but wasn't he a DLC character altogether? I think he was a pre-order guy. Okay, okay, okay, that makes sense that you could you could get him

Yeah, he didn't and then he didn't have very much dialogue as much dialogue as the other guy now I'm not saying they can't pre-load stuff in there and unlock it But I'm not saying if they just don't have a system for doing it Like that might be something that never gets fixed in the game, right? But then you have something like undead nightmare where there's loads of new stuff in that game, right? Like that that wasn't all this re-skinned stuff was it? How big is the download for undead nightmare though? Isn't like four gigs or two gigs? It's huge! That's what DLC for Red Dead is a good option, right?

I got screwed. I was telling Jack about this last night. This is good. I so I have been playing red dead. Going leading up to undead nightmare coming out. And from from everything that I've read, undead nightmare might be the best DLC ever put out for any game ever. The rock star DLC is always amazing. Like the Balagate Tony and what was the one? The not angels and demons. What was the name of the motorcycle one? I don't know, but it was a hell of angels. Yeah, that was great to uh... lost in the damn

yet that's it anyway so this is on the night where comes out and i had i had downloaded the to the three previous deals is for a red and i was working my way through my achievements uh... i determined that that's my latest hundred percent questions red dead redemption and I'm fairly close Anyway, so they put out this pack and I saw undead nightmare collection pack. So I said okay. I'll buy it

Wow 1600 points Okay, I'll buy it so I bought it and then it starts to download two gigs and I was like that's amazing Wow go now. I know it's also about for spending 1600 points for DLC because it's two gigs That's what does that translate to 20 bucks bucks? Yeah, it's about 20 bucks. So for those of you who don't live in the Microsoft's PC world. And then I come to realize I bought a bundle where it's the undead nightmare DLC and it's all the previous DLC bundled together for an extra price. I was like, damn it. I saw a double paid for my other DLC that I was downloading and giving myself a longer download.

And I discovered this when I got home. And I saw, you know, there's two items on the DLC list. You know, when they put that featured thing up, it takes up all the real estate. You don't see the other stuff underneath it. When you see Undead Knight Mirror, I don't go hunting for a different version of it. So then I saw this other one that was like,

I think 1200 points and it didn't have the other stuff. So I was like, damn it, I go, well, at least I can download that and just download the undead component here at home, since I download everything in the office. So I just hit the button and then I hit Confirm Downloaded. I bought the undead, I got it. So I ended up paying like 3,800 points altogether.

I think I basically rebought red pants. Red pants, jeans, so I did that in the stupidest possible way. I don't know, maybe that's the show some love for Rockstar for including something you created in the game. The Chupa thingy achievement. Oh yeah, well I think that's a secret achievement. So spoiler alert. But there's a yeah there's a Chupa thingy achievement in in red dead. Yeah I think we I think we briefly mentioned it last year. It's been a long time since we passed around for a while. Whatever. It's been a long time. You just went right into it.

Yeah, I stumbled into it. I hope you feel. To be in Halloween stuff, anybody see the walking dead on AMC? No, I haven't seen that. OK, well, I heard good things. I watched it just last night in preparation to be able to talk about it in the podcast. So I watched AMC because I watched Mad Men, which Griffin,

when are you guys going to get around to watching Mad Men? As soon as we are back in our house, I think. Oh yeah, because you guys are out of your house now. Yeah. You guys decided to be in the hospice? It's AIDS quarantine. They're living at the free clinic. No, we're renting.

Oh, I'm sorry, running into the thing. We're renting a house right now, because we had a big hole in our floor, so we took out our fake fireplace, and there was no hardwood there. So to get it patched, it was such a small space that they kind of like a minimum of square footage, so we decided just to get the floors refinished since something we wanted to do for a while.

And the varnish is totally gone, so it was the wood is starting to get damaged. So we had to get everything out of our house over the weekend and move out. So that's where we're at this week. So you talked to your wife, did you run a storage unit or is it all crazy? No, we just don't actually, we've been like slimming down. We don't really have that much stuff.

That's good. Yeah, it's not bad. And actually, when we take everything out, we had like one night, we were just hanging out with like cushions on the floor with like a television set up. I didn't mind it. Like I like having furniture with backs, you know, that's nice. But I kind of like just having empty space and not having just a kind of crap everywhere. Dispartan lifestyle. Yeah, well, we got rid of a lot of stuff, which is good. It's nice to be

forced to get rid of things. And then there's a lot of things I don't think we'll make it back in the house because the floors will be really nice and our furniture. Our furniture will just like worse against the end. So that's like the hidden cost of updating your floors. Is it having to replace all your furniture? Why don't you think we replace it? I should we just get rid of it Well, I know I guess it's saying that because Jeb was walking around complaining about that When you were in the other room the other day, it's like you know There's a hidden cost moving your stuff on your house you end up getting rid of it You got to replace all your stuff with new stuff

So I think he's convinced that you're gonna be at the furniture store buying only stuff. Well Yeah, I mean, whatever. Well, it's like we moved into the new office, you know, Jeff and I both got new desks and, you know, you don't want to, you know, want to start fresh. I was like, okay, it's just big pillows and living for a long time. Like we had a couple of bean bags from Craigslist. And all I hear it was like people complaining and like the moment we got rid of one big one, like everyone was like, oh, this is so much better fun you have grown up furniture So if it weren't for the judgment of others. I would be totally okay. It was just some pillows on the floor Yeah, friends are great when you make an improvement to something like oh thank God

I know it's like everything comes out. It's like I had no idea you hated everything about our house So until no just most things not everything Yeah, and Jack part of the reason why we got new desks was the fact that you and I were taking a golf club and putting holes in Every day for the last month we were in the old office. I tried writing my name in it But I think the golf club was the golf club. The worst thing was like I got a J and then it just fell apart You guys thought you were about to move out and then it ended up taking like a month longer So he was trying to like use as he couldn't use his mouse because there are too many holes. His mouse would sink into it. See Jack took it too far.

I was doing one dent a day, one big hole slash dent per day, to slowly dent his desk. And maybe he think he was going crazy. Like, that's a new dent. And I was putting them like where his keyboard goes, but more specifically where his mouse would go. Well, you really need to increase just paranoia of things. I would leave you syringes on his desk. And then also, I mean, we were in that office for three and a half years.

And we had IKEA desks that essentially cost $100 or $120,000. So if we get $30 a year per everyone's desk, I think that's as a business decision. It's okay to get new desks when you move to a new place. I'm still using that desk. for everyone's desk. I think that's as a business decision. It's okay to get new desk when you move to a new place I'm still using that desk. This is my desk. You are you are still using your old desk keeping it real you and Joel Joel Joel's office Joel is not a fan of change I'm telling you that right. I don't know if you know that I'm not Joel's corner in the old office It looks like someone's uprooted it lifted it off the ground and set it down in his new

Identical to what it was before even the fish is there yeah that mean that's he's got his method you know he's got his system down for how he wants to work and you don't fuck with that system man. Everyone has their own process. Yeah yeah. Brandon and Joel are spending a week in Seattle together so it'll be interesting when they come back. How romantic. Yeah they're sharing a week together. No romantic vacation. Joel's such a huge rangers fan and the rangers finally go to the World Series. And he didn't even have a chance to go to any of the games because he was out of town the whole time.

Yeah. You know, I met and I actually made the offer to take Joel to the Monday night game. And we were so fortunate because that was the game that they lost the World Series. Yeah. So we kind of dodged a bullet. So there's nothing worse than watching the opposing team

like Dog Pile on the pitcher's mound in your stadium, you know, like after they won is like, God damn it. I'm gonna be a weird sports fan because if my team makes it to the championship, I don't, it's almost like, yeah, it'd be great if they win and it's really cool when they win, but I don't really have that. Like, I don't feel really bad if they lose a championship game. I think a lot of people feel like that with the Rangers because they beat the Yankees. Yeah. I think that was, you know, the fact of the Rangers, well, the Rangers had never won a

playoff game ever in the 50 years of existence. They never won a playoff game. No. They've been swept the two previous times. They've made it to playoff. Oh, that's a big, big, big, big Yankees, as a matter of fact. So the fact they won their division and they won the what the ALCS mm-hmm like those that was you know pretty cool but you know making it to the World Series

first time they ever made it and then they lost in five games but not not to switch sports on y'all but I don't believe you do you remember that when we went to the Alamo and we made such a you like you made a big deal of like UT playing I was just you used as an example I don't think I was that upset I don't know what I was I don't think I was that upset. I don't know what it was that upset either seriously. Yeah, I mean, I wish the game of final score had been More indicative of how close the game was very very close. I mean, there was a point time the fourth quarter We're ever standing up. It's like we could really pull this thing out But yeah, I mean talking about talking about the YouTube or Zalabama game last year

We rented out a theater here in Austin to watch it with you know 200 of our closest friends and then Jeff and Griffin are the only Alabama. I'm not a man. I just married a fan like I don't care at all. You're happy fan been you don't have a fandom. Like if we ever get divorced I'm taking half of it. You get half of that fan. You're ever dreaming of growing up you're gonna marry a guy from Alabama like that. No and I never expected to end up in Texas. No it's you know your life goes in a different direction than you expect. Yeah, no, that's that's true. That's true. But it is weird. I know I expected when I was a little kid. I expected to be recording this podcast on the moon by now. I'm still on stupid earth. Really is actually kind of she's she really wants a space room and she was talking today about how she wants to do like a castle on the moon space room. So I'm going to have to figure that out. That's cool. But she keeps asking why, like, when we're getting it, like, it's weird. I didn't even know that she knew about like the idea of space stations, but she's really

interested in it. Maybe she saw a cartoon with one or something. Like kids always get into space. Yeah, but she's just like, why are we are there space stations on the moon yet? Like, when is that happening? Like she's the radiation of us. You should have her write a letter to her, to her politicians, her congressman so i i think stuff like that is cyclical i think that you know people get into things and then they come back around because the

younger people have experienced them that only has been around a while seems to get nice haven't been big in a long time that medieval time like the king Arthur stuff which is that seem like it that could come around like every ten or fifteen years you know was new galvers travels movie coming out with jack black oh god the other travels with jack black jack black so you know he's

go over and it's it's like a modern recreation of it they release a trailer for yesterday and looks terrible is that been still the leader of the little putty and uh... now it's uh... who is that uh... uh... the british dude from... Russell Brand, not Russell Brand. From Crap, who was the movie with Binsdeller and Tropix Thunder. He was the director who blew up.

Oh, I know the guy, but he looks like a cross from Russell Brand and we're no Yankees. Yeah, he's in Jason Seagulls and it's... What is he, Kristen Wiesen? He was also in... And I didn't mean to. It wasn't either. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah him and Ben Stiller or Owen Wilson were like the tag team partners or whatever. Oh, man. Yeah, this is a Stiller cast. Yeah, it looks the trailer. The trailer is pretty upsetting. Speaking of recreations. There's what Sherlock Holmes like remake or whatever like a modern Sherlock Holmes. I forgot the name of it. Oh really?

But it's like a British show and it I forgot the name of it. Oh, really? But it's like a British show, and it's got Martin Freeman from the British office. Yeah. And we will watch this one episode, like that was all that was available on either Zoom or Netflix, I'm not sure which I think was Zoom. It was actually pretty good.

And I could totally get sucked in if I wasn't committed to getting sucked into Mad Men soon. Well, you know Martin Freeman is the new habit, right? Yeah, I think, were you can't be that yesterday was that you yeah the guy from uh... each i was to and the office the rest of the gim from the british office there was a very big hubbub to recently because

uh... him and don jack maybe you can explain this and i'd better than i do but there they green lit or green lighted however you say that production for the habit but there was a problem that they weren't gonna film it in New Zealand because of some kind of union thing do you understand what happened on that I'm not sure they were talking about moving it to Australia I think right they were and then all the New Zealand crews just got super pissed

off and they're gonna boycott the movie like all the people are gonna work on it was gonna be like nope sorry we're not gonna work on anymore and then it was just a huge back and forth I'm not sure what happened but ultimately it came down to they're going to shoot a New Zealand again well they already started bullying the Shire right at that point I guess they still have it they still have it well they burnt it though like for the no ghosts living it now gocs yeah the city's photos like the farm they they you know used to shoot all the the you know the hobbit stuff like the all the houses and stuff are still there. They're just you know there's cutouts

But now it's just these hills that have holes in them and like goats like live inside the holes We're gonna be pissed when they have to get kicked out for production You know, I think that actually that you for a crew like boycott understand and I can work I mean for that franchise it really is dependent on all the artisans. Oh, yeah So yeah, we also like that same sort of feel is dependent on all the artisans. Oh, yeah. So it's like that. Well, you also want to take that same sort of feel. You have the Lord of the Rings, Trill. You don't want to reinvent the wheel.

If people already have experience with that kind of world and building that kind of stuff. How about this? How about they made a movie that made like $2 billion into the franchise? Don't fuck with them. You know what I mean? Let them do it again, right? Yeah. You're going to get two more movies out of the process.

Yeah. You think it's going to be right? Two movies, the Hobbit I think so I think they're they broke it down into two it's great So you know the same thing when you're talking about the shire like that Was taken over by goats there was a similar thing with somebody found the skywalker ranch in the Tunisian desert Oh, oh, and it was taken over by nomads like people were living oh weird and that this was and people this was the original nomads like people were living oh weird and that this was and people this was the original this was the original your racist that was the original one not the one that they made for the prequels right somebody went and found it I think in the 90s they found that's cool yeah the I guess it was like no

bad no matter how old and in berita like no matter culture or just like squatters like do you know I really don don't know Oh, no matter glorified squatters Man so we were talking about space and stuff. I went to the National Air and Space Museum when I was in Washington DC this past week That was pretty cool man like seeing the Wright brothers playing the actual first plane and everything like every Has ever been to the Smithsonian? Yeah, I've been there up in DC. Yeah. It's cool. They had Spaceship 1, the first private spaceship to go in space. Oh, yeah, that's cool. They had that like hung out and everything.

And I touched the moon rock. They're getting pretty close. Aren't they virgin galactic? They're getting pretty close to starting commercial services. Are they? I think like another year. That's awesome. Something like that.

So maybe we will be on the moon, hopefully. What? 10 million starts seeing. We won't be able to afford it, but somebody will. Well, when was the last time someone put foot on the moon? Was it the 70s? Yeah, it had to have been the 70s. And also this may be a dumb question, but you know, is the United States the only country that's been on the moon? Yes, okay, trying to currently just plans to go visit the moon. Okay, I thought I thought

that was interesting. What was it some, what was it like, some studio in New Mexico or something, were they? Yeah. I've seen all that stuff, have you seen, like all the conspiracies that we didn't land on the moon? Oh yeah, absolutely. Yeah, there's Jonathan Freak's documentary, once I saw him Fox.

The last time someone was on the moon was December 11th, 1972. Wow. Guys, so only, we were, there were only a threeyear span of moon walking? See, that's the thing. OK, this is the only reason why I think that the conspiracy, but if you went and you landed on the moon a couple of times, why would it keep us from being there more?

Because there's nothing there. Well, I quit by the video games. It's just a sort of, right? No. I've got ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice. I've got ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice and ice The thing to be working on right now with the microcosm, essentially where they're doing particle physics, I think that has a lot more straight up application in our life. It's kind of hard to figure out, you know, aside from blocking meteors and then eventually expansion to other planets, what we're going to do in space. Space seems very scientific, but really, what are you going to do?

That whole idea of, I don't know, like the thing that kind of sucks, this is something that Jeff and I were talking about recently, because we were talking about Bigfoot, it's been coming up a lot lately. And the reason that Jeff doesn't believe in Bigfoot, straight from science to Bigfoot. There we go. The reason he doesn't believe in Bigfoot or anything fun is Google Earth. Do you take, you can look at, like, the iPad's actually great if you look at Google Earth and you can zoom in and look at everything. You know, pretty much just see the entire world.

From one snapshot, one mill is not live updated, right? Like, if he walked out in the street, everything. You know, pretty much just see the entire world. From one snapshot, from one mill to a day. It's not live updated, right? Like, if he walked out in his street, it's like, I'm showing him walking down the street. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, like if Bigfoot existed, don't you think Google Earth would have found him? And that's so stupid. I am. But anyway, I think that people want to have mystery and discovery. You know, it's funny we were talking about space travel. I'm going to take it back here a second.

I read this article on MSNBC the other day that I guess NASA Ames Research Center is starting this project trying to get money from billionaires to fund the creation of 100-year starship. They Basically, they want these billionaires to give them lots of money so they can build a ship that will travel for a hundred years to get to the closest star. That's cool. Would it be filled with rich people? No. The rich people would only finance it in the hopes of building a self-sustaining crew that could go out there and get to another star. That would be cool.

They also are talking about who would be volunteer for a mission to Mars that is one way. Right. Yeah. What would Jack, let me ask you, would you volunteer, you would never qualify, but would you volunteer for a mission to Mars where you would be the first human being over the course of hundreds of millions of years of evolution if you believe in that? Except for it on another planet, but you couldn't come back. Right now, probably not, in 15 years maybe. Can I ask, wait, you got two cats now. They did the cats, they were keeping you back. Yeah, it's the cats, I didn't.

I assume they would have room in the budget to take care of the cats. Okay, they would develop special spaces. Now, where's your cats to go with you. They had to develop technology and put out the biggest bowl of food ever. Five years of food. It was your rate. It powers a motor that feeds them. Would you have constant contact with Earth? Would I be able to communicate with Earth?

Jack, what do You miss in here Jack Even after achievements would update on Xbox live, but you could not get into multiplayer games None of it No, I think it'd be kind of cool. I mean the trip to Mars is gonna be like what five years. I think it's what they said Yeah, but it's one way that's to be yeah, but when you get there you've got what like three bested women and yeah Exactly So you've got like three bested women and... Yeah, exactly. All the best parts of total recon, share and sponsor, wait and form. So basically the trip is five years,

then plus forever, at the end of it. That's the kicker. Gus, you and I have kids, would you go? I don't have kids. I don't think you don't have kids. Oh, I don't have kids, would I go? Yeah, sure, why not? Look at.

Maybe awesome. Really? Would you bring Esther? Why are you trying to start your new day? Bernie likes causing problems. By the way, so many boys out to me that we have friends, Griffin, we have a couple that we know that have such old people names. We know a couple named Gus and Esther.

You guys should be like playing Canast, the old name, shuffle board. I don't know, we don't. You guys are going to have to write it right in at the retirement home. It's sweet. Gus and Esther. Except you'll be with people, names like Aiden and... You guys are going to find it right in at the retirement home. It's sweet. Gus and Esther. Except you'll be with people with names like Aiden and... Yeah, all the old people names that will be sad.

So I guess I want to show you something. You were talking about Google Street View, right? Yeah. Jeff sometimes is a little rash with big stuff. He like will decide, big changes. And he came in and he said, I'm going to buy a house in Marfa, Texas. I go, you what? You know about this before I did. I'm going to hide the all I guess because I've on this house. It was basically looks like two shipping containers stacked on top of each other. Nice. So it's like this like art project, essentially

that you can live in, you know, it's a gun house. No, I saw I was probably the first person he showed it to. He was down to like working on spreadsheets. You were last time saying. But I mean, maybe that means it wasn't a real signature. Like he was actually making plans. Yeah, like he was writing an email it off to Relator. And find out more information. So this is what he found. Like that's how we'll put a picture of this.

That looks like something you would live in on Mars. Exactly right in the back around. This is the one way trip tomorrow. This is going to be the patient home. He was going to rent it out and make money off of it. That's what he was telling me. And I realized this visual gag we will put this online. This is the one way trip tomorrow. This is going to be the patient home. He's going to rent it out and make money off of it. That's what he was telling me. And I realized this is a visual gag.

We will put this online. But I thought, Marfa, Texas is in the middle of West Texas. There's nothing out there. Look how green this picture is on the realty side of what this thing looks like. So I said, hey, Jeff, let's go to Google Street View and see what this thing actually looks like. You want to see where the funny thing is you'll ever see in your life? I'm going to walk over there and show this to you. Okay, yeah, show me.

I never saw the Google Street View version of it so I'm curious. Oh really you're the last to know. That's the house. Just face melting what I do. This is the house is Google Street View. What the fuck do they photoshop that in there? It looks like it's in a middle of a parking lot. Isn't it like surrounded by trailers? The same angle, same shot from Google Street View. Is it like surrounded by trailers? The same angle, same shot from Google's review. It looks like... What the hell? Lush, wonderful terrain to Mad Max set.

Essentially. That's funny. Actually, I think the house might fit in better with the parking lot. Yeah. Seenery, but I don't want to live in Marfa. It's got a nice overhang of the nothing. What is Marfa? He said it to be a... Oh, okay. This is actually pretty interesting. He said it to be already pretty interesting and they have

mystery lights there. Yes, the Marfellites. I think I've seen them. It was under that or maybe I saw cars at the board of patrol. Yeah, it's the other. Marfell, Texas is this tiny, tiny little town way in West Texas like by Big Bend, which is like the big kind of like national or I don't

know his state or national park. Do you know? It's a park. Big like desert park. It on his state or national park d'you know it's a part of the like desert park it's a big national park yeah and they filmed in the right okay so it is that like in the sixties and seventies it was pretty much like a ghost

town like there was nothing there industry was gone like it was dying and this artist named Chinati came to it and he was like from New York like famous New York artist and uh... fell in love with it and decided that he was going to buy the town, like buy the old military base that was there that was like abandoned and Set up got all of his artists friends to come in set up studios and it became this like art hub and now people flying from all over Like we went there just we went in the offseason Which is kind of dumb because there's really nothing going on there When it's there's no like festival so we went and we saw the Marvelites and we stayed at the hotel.

And one day we went down to the bookstore, which just almost feels like it came right out of New York or even like some nice parts of Austin, just like right in the middle of this tiny little Texas town. So we went to the bookstore hanging out, looking at books. And all these German people walked in, people from New York, like in this random little town in Texas, which in the weird thing too,

it's like you go out to a restaurant and everyone working there can afford to eat their like people who live there can't afford to live there because like they just have all these people buying summer homes and like spending seventy to eighty dollars on a meal every every meal so all the people working there have to live i don't know what like out in the middle of the world so people like Jeff ruin the town for the locals well yeah basically he is about property but anyway it's it's fine. I would say that, but they

all the our community also saved the town from completely dying out. So I don't know, there's like a give and take there like it's becoming this cute little and a lot of people from Austin are buying places there and it's starting to look really austenny, but it's and this like completely surrounded by nothing. It's like seven hours away from Austin, yeah, drive there. It's an interesting place. It's northwest, right? Yeah, it's like out hours away from Austin. Yeah, it's an interesting place. It's northwest, right?

Yeah, it's like out in the area. Texas is such a big state. If you're taking a road trip and you hit Texas, watch out. Yeah, because it'll be an entire day of your trip, just getting through Texas. It looks like it's pretty much dead west, like on the same latitude from here. Yeah, it's like an hour shy of big bend

No, it takes When I drove to LA to and from LA it Texas is half the trip like Austin L pass over half the Yeah, it's depressing and then a lot of the states that surround no offense to the state surrounding Texas But also never mind When I drove Very much in Texas the West side of Texas I know but you could take to eight hour like we're in the middle of Texas. It takes eight hours in any direction to get out of Texas.

And then you're surrounded by a, well, like, I'm not gonna address myself. When I drove our equipment back from Sacramento, where we moved our co-load of Austin, the last day, like I budgeted the trip out of the last year, I was like, oh, yeah, I can do Alamo Gordo to Austin. No problem.

Where's Alamo Gordo? New Mexico. And such an hour, maybe, north of El Paso? That was a fucking mistake. That was the longest worst part of the drive. Jason and I were the first time we went to the Comic Con in San Diego, we had to drive to West Texas and we hauled all of our gear out with us.

Big trailer full of merchandise. And there's videos out on the bonus this. There is, yeah, on the bonus list for the box set. It's on their animal box. It's on the bonus list, isn't it? Yeah, it's on the remastered box set too. Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. We didn't want the blood gold. I super saying the first five seasons box at. We didn't go back and remastered the life footage either. We didn't go out and

re-sheet all that stuff. But the it got so hot out there because Tomacans in late July and it was such a long stretch of nothing. I think we went literally 210 miles between gas stations. And it was frightening because it was so hot and we were hauling so much weight behind us. And then me and Jason, we could literally see the gas needle moving. If you looked at the gas needle, you could watch it drop towards E slow. Oh, Jesus. So it's a little frightening. And then you look at the, you know, on the dashboard, it says, the exterior temperature is 108 degrees. It's like, if you run out of gas, we're probably gonna die.

Probably. And that's kind of a lonely feeling. And you still have a U-Haul full of fabulous research teeth merch that I still die with. Man, you know, it's crazy. I saw a video, I was just thinking about, it's like being on an island in the middle of a hostile environment.

It made me think about this guy, who, have you seen this new sport where they don't surf? They stand up on a surfboard and they paddle I must my wife has like tons of gossip magazines around our house and seems like every celebrity in the world's doing this They stand up and paddle called paddles surfing paddle paddles are bringing again paddle surfing or something like that Anyway, this is like taking the front out of surfing and making it harder. Well, it's like basically having a rudder Oh, yeah, they have an or. OK, I thought you meant like they were paddling with their, yeah, OK, go.

They're having an or standing up on a surfboard and paddling with a big long or. And some guy, anyway, some guy went out and he saw what he thought was a great white. Out there, and I thought, man, if that happened to me, I'd be like, thank God that was the day I was in the ocean. I saw a great white. It was the last day I saw it was in the ocean ever again. He goes out the next day and brings a camera on a pole and sure enough finds the great white again And is like filming the he's standing on a goddamn surfboard dude with a great white underneath him

And he's like dropping a pole into the camera on the end into the water and filming the shark I'm like you gotta be crazy. You put a camera in front of a great white. That's fucking crazy Put a camera front of Sean Penn. He'll bite you You put a camera in front of a great white. That's fucking crazy put a camera front of Sean Penn. He'll bite you Put a camera for a fucking shark man. There's just no way like at least get into a boat with something a little bit more Substance I mean right like cuz you're crazy That's why because you guys are not we get we're fun He gets on a surfboard with a paddle and goes out into the ocean We've already established the craziness speaking of the ocean. I saw documentary, probably the most depressing thing I've ever seen in my life.

Have you ever seen the cove? It won a bunch of Oscars, and I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I was, oh my God. I was not moved by that. I actually hated that documentary. Really? Yeah. I felt it was very biased and one-sided.

It was. Against the dolphins that are getting killed. Against the Japanese people. I mean, who are we to impose our will on them? If they want to eat dolphin, why can't they eat they dolphin like if if India had a problem with us eating cows And they made a great documentary about it would we be all boohoo cows they get slaughtered and we eat them You know, what's the what's the flip side here? Well, I gave there I mean there is a bit a little bit of selective

A lot of it had to do with the dynamic that like the dolphin like the dolphin meat that they're actually eating is like full of mercury And is actually poisoning the country now that they're actually eating is like full of mercury and is actually poisoning the country Yeah, that I think they're hiding that from their citizens Yeah, I mean that's true, but that wasn't the focus of the documentary That's not what everyone cries over. What I mean they're saying. Oh, this is something we've done for years Like no, you haven't really done this for years and you know they're claiming its tradition But it's not actually true. The Japanese have been eating whale and dolphin for over a thousand years But they did there's a whole bit in the documentary that they're talking to people about this and they're like what are you talking?

Yeah, like a modern people in the city don't do that. Modern people living in Tokyo don't do that. But people in the country who live in coastal areas do and have been for a thousand years. Well, as far as hiding like the harmful things in food, I mean, we did that plenty, you know? Like, I mean, I was just thinking about this the other day, Mad Cow, like you see about all the time.

Did it just go away, we just not hearing about it anymore? Do you guys know? You heard about Mad Cow in a while? Oh, no, John Titer went back to his timeline. So I heard about it. That was John Titer's big thing was Mad Cow disease or whatever. He cut his different name for it, whatever it was. CJD or whatever. Yeah, but I mean do people still get Mad Cow? Well, there's also like the bovine growth hormones and things and girls were getting breasts earlier and girls going to be ready to eat seven. Yeah. It's crazy.

We were at that stat that stat right it was uh I'll have to look it up now, so I don't miss quote it and I'm talking about I want to see I don't want to talk about girls going to puberty off the cuff I want to see what Google search term you used the same search on How was it Google safe search to stun? All right girls puberty God not a creepy guy That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. Oh, it's a typo. I didn't mean to text that. Ever since you mentioned that history, like the Google history thing, I'm so careful about anything I searched for a while. Yeah, you should be. Jesus Christ. Now imagine somebody takes over and one of the things I think fires you can take over is your Google account. Your Google account. And then they just access it. They have access to your Google session. They're looking up your searches. If you log in to search, you're a maniac. You're a maniac. Don't do it. Don't do it. I can't tell you, man. When I runmaniac, your Emaniac. Don't do it. Don't do it.

I can't tell you, man, when I run for office, some support the future, I'm blaming all the searches from this IP on Gus and Jeff. I guarantee. I'll take the fall. Well, if you're like sending to a Gmail account, aren't you logged into Google? Yeah, yeah. That's why I don't log in a Gmail. Yeah.

It's crazy. And by the way, how many times am I going to have to tell YouTube? I don't want to link my God damn Gmail account to YouTube. I'm going to have to do that every time I log into YouTube. Is that what's going to happen here? I think so. All right. American girls, it seems, are growing up quicker.

And this is according to, well, this is the Money Times website. I don't know what this is. It's money, baby. It was the first time I put them. American girls, these are growing up quicker. According to the findings of a study, young American girls are beginning puberty at much younger ages, some as early as seven.

The study conducted by researchers at the breast cancer and the environmental research centers showed that between 2004 and 2006, twice as many Caucasian girls should sign a breast development at age seven, compared to a decade ago, and then they go through this whole thing, and they're saying it's because one of the things they're blaming is hormones and milk and things like that. That were realized weren't just. Was it in China where like infant girls are developing breast-loyty because of the formula? Like formula had a lot of hormones in it. Yeah. Yeah, they have then they also have another thing where they're they had made a bunch of formula in China that actually accidentally had poison in it

or something like that. I mean, that was actually milk. Oh, was it milk? I thought that wasn't there like a baby formula. It was a formula. And it was a huge, it was a huge huge huge deal in In China, man, yeah, and people in China they Loser jobs and go to jail unlike in America now, or just you know they get on TV and nothing seems to happen to people Yeah, except for rainy monster here. What happened to rainy moss? No, what happened? Yeah, okay? Spent half so rainy moss who's a receiver for the Minnesota Vikings they played the new England Patriots He what he was with the Patriots earlier this year and the Patriots dropped him and the Vikings picked him up

And he so he had a thing where he was fine by the NFL $25,000 for refusing to speak to the press So he comes out and does his press comes goes hey, all I was fine $25,000 for not talking you guys so I'm gonna talk to you But you're not gonna talk to me. I'm gonna hold my own press conference and you can just report on that. I'll ask myself questions I'll answer them Which is pretty pretty funny and it seemed like a big F you But then he did that and he kind of screwed himself over because he just started talking off the cuff Oh, man, and he essentially said that um

They'd play they'd lost to the Patriots and he all he could do was talk about how great the Patriots were and how Bill Bellichek the coach of the Patriots is probably one of the best coaches of all times and how he was giving his coaches information about what the Patriots would probably do and they didn't listen to him and then on game day his own coaches were saying, you know, Randy, we should have listened to you, you were right and goes, and I don't want to hear that on game day, you know, and I'm sure that conversation never happened that the coaches came up and said, you were right. Mr. Boss, you were right.

What is the end of all? Coach going to do that. And so we did the key goes on like this long tear. Did you see the press conference? No, I do. So anyway, you can look at it online if you're interested in that. But I said so you just talking about how great the Patriots are and incidentally the the the Vikings not.

You walk in the press conference and the Vikings go you're fired. Get out. The coach the coach waived him. Really? Just dropped them $60 million contract. Is point nine million dollars or something Yeah, they still own like four more like they're gonna pay him four million dollars, but he's not on the team anymore. Fuck off dude I love it man more stuff like that needs to happen

That's not the worst way to get fired. We still owe you a few million, but you're fine Who's gonna pick them up now? I mean you're so tainted, you know like like CEO at the same sort of situation somebody don't pick it I'm not somebody well, you know, someone's always gonna pick up those guys, but still, it's like, you know, he's got that cloud over him now. Anybody who needs a receiver, essentially. Yeah, Tio is still, you know, yeah, still catching footballs.

Well, I wanna wrap things up. I don't wanna go super long like we did last week. A lot of stuff going on here. So, I'm wrapping up right now. I wanna mention the Rally to Restorality was awesome. I'm DCI, I went to it. A bunch of fans from the site came out and we had a big group and went to dinner and stuff That was very very cool for all those people to come out and thank you

We have I have updated our events page on the website with preliminary event information for next year We have a page. I'll put that in the link dump. Yes, we do I know that and I Need to site it. He's going to why yet. No, I miss you so far away and We have plenty of time to determine who's going to what event So check out the event page. I'll put it in the link down making go to the one on the moon We have we have six events up there right now, but we'll have hopefully some more as time goes on Last week on the podcast I talked about electricity I mean shocked and how I don't like invisible things that can kill you. Oh, yeah several listeners sent me a link to a live leak video. Oh no.

Apparently they use ethanol to fuel race cars. F1 race cars. F1 race cars which apparently burns invisibly. Yeah. And there was a pit fire where a bunch of people are on fire and you can't see the flames. They were having trouble putting them out. So that was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen in my life. Oh god I have to to watch that now. Put it in the wake-dome. I know, that's why I wanted to say mention it here. But one of the good things is it burns cooler than normal fire. So I'm only burning mildly. See, it's a little bit longer in here.

Well, getting second degree burns. I like like no one gets to be really injured because of it. But anyway, it's still freaky as hell though. That's sad. Yeah, the guys, I mean it's not overly graphic, I wouldn't say. You know, it's old, it's old. It's old. Horrifying.

How do they find it? They put like a piece of raw chicken at the end of a stick and they walk behind it and they're like the chicken's getting cooked. There's fire there. No, you look at the crowd of you, or what? Dude, he's waving at you. He's hard. Like a maniac pointing to himself, going, me and me, I'm on my hair.

Oh my God. It's awful. I was like how the internet's like, oh, there's some more things for you to be worried about. I know. What do they send Jeff links this week? It's not age. You probably have parasitic tuberculosis. Andrew on invisible fire. All right, well that's it. Thanks for listening. Bye. Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way. Do you like apples?
