It's the drunk tank podcast. It's the Drunk Tank Podcast. It's the Drunk Tank Podcast. It's a podcast. Like he said, it's a podcast. So I guess Freddie Mercury recorded that before he died it's crazy it's a great great uh... impersonation we have there and but that's that was not for the mercury on the thing now and speaking of mercury uh... uh... who's dead by the way news all that's all that you have as mustache right now i have this fucking must

have a you have a and i think i got i got beat the aids but uh... guess what happened to me, dude? What happened? You know, I think we talked about it briefly, but Griffin and I got robbed, like Jack Style a couple weeks ago. We got Jacked.

And interestingly enough, Jack got a brand new computer and a TV looks a lot like RL TV. But, I mean, I'm asking about that. I had to grow this mustache because we were doing reshoots on something that required me to have a mustache. I'm not going to say what it is or what the project is or any of that, but I was required by the company to grow a mustache for a shoot. So I did company mandate company mandate. So then I happily shaved the mustache and unfortunately we had to do reshoots. So I was required to regrow the mustache which I hate and people keep calling me a petafile Which I get because I don't it's not my scene the mustache and

So I we've do our reshoots on I guess Monday and then so Tuesday morning I get up and I'm like thank God. I'm gonna right before I go to work I'm gonna shave off this hideous mustache and I go into my closet to discover that on top of everything else I own that was stolen for me the thieves stole my razor Was it like a straight razor and yeah, they stole my razors and my like my Clippers like my hair clip. It's gross dude. No, they're gross. It's just like hair clippers full of my hair Maybe they're trying to make a Jeff clone and it's like that's like the whole robber Well, they have enough hair to make a Jeff clone and it's like that's the whole robber. Well, they have enough hair to make a Jeff army.

But like how fucking demoralizing is it to wake up and go to shave and realize that you don't even like they took that from me too. That's the best. Like on top of everything else they stole from me, they took my ability to get rid of this moustache. You know, uh, speaking of it as they gave you a moustache. Yeah, I guess. So they took everything from me and gave me a moustache I don't want. Which thanks guys. Uh, speaking of your moust your mustache somebody today on the site ask me if you were mad at me because of the most i don't know what's just mustache is he mad at you

and really luckily the uh... awesome police department has a hit their crack investigative team on the case i uh... after we got robbed i called the cops and i reported to uh to the police department,

and I said, are you guys gonna come dust or for fingerprints or anything, and the lady in the phone goes, no. I was like, okay, well what should I do? And she's like, we put it in the system, here's your case number, you'll get a call in 24 hours. And I go, okay, great. And she's like, a detective will be assigned to the case,

and somebody from CSI, Austin will be assigned the case and uh... they will contact you within twenty four hours and so i'm thinking i'm pretty good about that and twenty four hours go by and i don't hear anything and forty hours go by and i don't hear anything and i think well you know i'm sure there's a lot of great a lot of crimes out there so maybe uh... things are there just a little backed up but after two and a half days i call them back just to be like hey just checking in on things and they go oh yeah you backed up. But after two and a half days, I call them back just to be like, hey, just checking in on things.

And they go, oh, yeah, you were assigned a detective, a detective, so and so. That's not his real name, by the way, I'm protecting his identity. So valium. Yeah, and so detective, so and so, they give me his number. And so I call, he's not there. So I leave detective, so and so message.

And I wait two days, and I don't hear back from detective, so and so. So I call him, leave another message. And I don't hear back from him. And instead, I get a letter in the mail from detective so-and-so, a form letter, by the way, that's not even actually signed by him, it actually has his stamped signature on it.

That says, hey, detective so-and-so here, I'm really, really busy these days. So I don't have time to talk to you, like literally, I don't have time to actually talk to you on the phone. So just email me everything that was stolen and we'll take care of it. I go, okay, so I emailed the details of the case

and everything that was stolen. didn't hear back for three or four days, so I sent a second email that was like, hey, just wanna make sure you got the first email, detective someone, so, you know, the case is cold at this point, I'm afraid. If I've gone from CFI Austin to cold case. Yeah, so like we moved into the cold case, we're gonna be in basic cable before I know it.

And so, two days later, I get an email back, which is a very reassuring email from detective someone, so thatand-so that says, Mr. Ramsay, I have received your emails. Nice. And that's it. No thanks, or we're working on it to have a nice day. I'm sorry about your loss. No pretense that we give a shit in any way whatsoever. Just I have received your emails.

I'm not doing anything with them. I'm just letting you know I received. It's practically busy out giving traffic tickets. Yeah. Austin, fuck it. Well, I was giving traffic tickets. Hate investigating crime. So I'm actually kind of surprised with that because the base on the copy experience I've had with being pulled over and it kind of tickets, I thought that they were very proactive, but I can see only thing that they're focused on. Yeah, they're totally focused on. I'm giving young women traffic tickets. I know. I know. I shouldn't help you dudes with creepy mustaches.

I should have told them the dudes that stole my stuff, sped away in a school zone. Yeah, while texting on a cell phone. Yeah, while texting on a cell phone. They'd have helicopters out looking for them. Man. You know, it's funny. And I always, I'm not that, I go here from girls,

and everyone who knows a girl, that girls don't get trafficked, all you have to do is bat your eyelashes and cry a little bit about something. I've never, ever gotten out of a traffic. If I get pulled over, it's like, okay, I know they're gonna throw the book at me. I know it is, I'm just not in that genre. Do you think it might be like that they pull you over

and they're rolled on the window and you've got more tattoos than them and a giant piercing and they're like, uh, you know, I always forget that I even have. You might be a giant piercing and they're like uh... you know i always forget that i even have you might be a little intimidating they're scared of you so they give you a ticket it's like when the when the elementary school boys have a crush on a girl to like push her down and they run away

that's my mom always told me that the boys are intimidated by me that's why i never got asked out so you're probably right that's what the cops are all scared they'd like throw a ticket in the way they like and they run back to the cards that's like a hope she calls me. You're just too pretty. Yeah, that's what it is. But the funny thing about the tattoos and piercings, when you have them, you forget you have them.

I've milled out a lot in my old age, I guess. I used to be a little more hardcore with dressing or like music, I listened to or whatever. And I just now I feel so conservative in hardcore with dressing or like listen like music. I listened to whatever and I just now I feel so conservative and comparison to what I was at like 19 that it surprises me that anyone still thinks of me in any way That's not just like I don't know like boring woman at the grocery store boring suburban night. Yeah, that's certainly how I think of you But that's what I'm into so It's a perfect relationship for me Before we get too far away from the beginning of the podcast, I had a quick retraction or

A correction I make shit after I talked about Refast can I set this up? What's is this the first ever retraction we've done in the podcast? I think Bernie's retracted something. Oh, as he says a retraction number two. Yeah I was talking about global income and US income taxes. Sure I had had that spiel about it. After the podcast, I got an

email from someone who said that if you live overseas in a US citizen, if you live overseas 330 days or more in a 12-month period, you can claim a foreign earned income exclusion. Foreign earned income. So you get taxed less. That's cool. Up to a certain cap. There's a whole bunch of's cool. Up to a certain cap. There's a whole bunch of details.

This isn't a financial podcast, so it's all I'm going to say about it. I'll link it so you can see if your overseas isn't care about it at all, what you probably aren't. There you go. But you still have to pay taxes are just reduced. It depends on how much money you earn and you know how taxes are. It's a fucking formula. You have to call Einstein.

It's time traveling phone. And that a fucking Formula you have to call Einstein time traveling phone And that explains But yeah, just I just I just wanted to get that out there I just want to throw it out there because they were very vocal about it I guess you we all heard the the big iTunes announcement yesterday. They got the Beatles catalog on iTunes finally Oh, I thought you were talking about the revelation CD. No. Yeah, I guess yeah Beatles came out yesterday too. timing for them yeah so yes I mean it seems like that would have been a big deal a few years ago, but it seems like people yeah

They're kind of excited about it. I don't know why there was such a big like hype like pre-announcement announcement and then do you know Why I was reading I always assumed that they didn't want to go to digital because Of like fighting between rights issues with Yoko and Paul and I don't think Ringo owns like three songs and then the Jackson estate and like blanket is like the rich is doing the world now. But I was assumed that it was like rights issues or like the like metallic attitude where they just don't want to have their stuff online. I thought it was an Apple name or the Apple name.

But apparently what it all boiled down to I read a little blur about it this morning is they were still Selling so many CDs They're like the only people in the world still selling CDs at like great at a great pace They wanted to let the CD cycle run through and make as much money as they possibly could before they started going into digital sales Interesting, so now this is the time 2010 see I guess like this the like they've hit the tail and they're uh... the rate of ramp up funny i looked at it yesterday you can buy like the the the beetles box that which has like three hundred songs on it

for a hundred and fifty dollars i can understand i mean i don't like the beetles i like one song golden slumber is the rest of it i can kind of give a shit about and uh... i mean i don't dislike it i don't dislike the beet. I can enjoy listening to them, but I would never really choose to listen to the Beatles, except for that one song. But I almost bought the $150 box it just because it was like, oh, this is everything they ever did for $150. Why not? And I was like, wait a minute, you don't want this. But I was like, this close to buying it. I'm looking at the iTunes chart right now. And that box set is number 11 on top albums.

Yeah. And they have number 789. You know, I, I'm kind of with you on the Beatles. Like, I don't know, I think I'm kind of sick of hearing about them, honestly. And I'm kind of like, everyone's like, Oh, great, it's been a whole time, blah, blah, and like get really up in arms about it. But we were doing this thing the other night where we were listening to, I don't know where you found a link, but it was all of the top songs of like every year. So like, oh, yeah, we went through like the top 10 song top 10 billboard hits of each year from like 1974 to like 82 and that was actually pretty interesting because we were listening to it and like you hear

the year before like that which Beatles song was it oh fuck it was like we heard like a captain in to Neil song and then the next year was like hey Jude and you're like oh okay I get it yeah it's like holy shit no yeah it's it's definitely and I don't mean to I'm not lambasting or talking shit about the Beatles I understand or Captain to Neil or Captain to know they have a prolific body of work that's like unsurpassed except for maybe Jay-Z and who's had 11 who's had 10 number one he's a number more number one albums than anyone else in history but yeah that you, when you put it in context with listening

to the other music that was out in that time, it's you understand. Like when you think of oldies, you think of the 60s, you'll lump the entire decade into like 20 songs, you know? But there's a lot of crap in there. There was so much crap in there, and you could look and you could be like, the Beatles would have like, I don't know,

Hey Jude or yesterday or one of those songs, and then songs two through six were just a trotious. And you realize, wow, they really were heading shoulders above everyone else at that time. But at the same time, I think maybe we can all move on. It's like, 2010. Like, there's been a lot of things since then. We can all, like, yeah, the Beatles are great.

So let's talk about something else. Before this podcast, what comments do you think you made that generated the most hate mail for you you because I think you probably are gonna break that record but we're not I'm not being anti-beadles I have no problem with the Beatles I just not for me like they're there's a there's a saying I don't know if you ever heard of when I was growing up that was like a there are two kinds of people in the world that those people who like the Beatles and the people who like the Rolling Stones and which one are you I'm neither I've never been either I thought

it was the Beatles and Elvis. Is that the Beatles and Elvis? I've never heard that one. Was that a comp fiction? I don't know. I've always heard Beatles and Stones, like if you like rock and roll. And I will say that song, Golden Sombra,

is I think is awesome. Really, really awesome. And I like how the three songs we have together, kind of like Mottos Moustas. And I'm sure hugely influential to like every artist out there right now, the Beatles were. It's just not for me. I'm not trying to be negative anti-beadels. I don't want to, I made a fucking joke in an achievement 100 video about a month ago. We were doing, Jack and I were doing some Easter eggs and

Fallout New Vegas and they were the Monty Python Easter eggs and I made a joke about how these Easter eggs were almost as overhyped as Fucking money path on themselves because I personally don't find money Python funny That that got me a lot of hate mail dude. So you hate anything from the UK is what I'm gathering here Not at all dude. I'm not at all. Absolutely not. I love every punk band to come out of the UK I love Amy Winehouse. I and the people like you just don't understand British humor. I love British humor dude I grew up with Benny Hill. That is the best way better than money Python Okay, faulty towers love it Dr. Who love it? Are you being served?

I've never gotten thought of you being served Red dwarf love it All right, I feel like you're very you're very but that's the most hate me I've ever received We're talking saying that I think that money Python is Very dated and not funny. It's funny to me that that people are still up in arms about that because it just seems like Especially the people listening were they really watching? I mean it's old. I felt like older than me I'd looked at most of their stuff came at like 73 to 70. Yeah I felt like when I was watching it like in junior high it was old then yeah It was like god. That was so fun long ago. Yeah, I'm fucking old dude

I'm 35 years old and they put out life of Brian like the year before I was born. OK, but I'm not to argue with you, because we're getting along so well this morning. Fight, fight. But that scene in life of Brian, where the Roman soldier catches the vandal or whatever, he's like, I'm sorry, it's still very funny.

Like when he gives him the grammar lesson and walks him through, how to like, I don't know, what does he say? Like, get out like Romans or something like that. And like, he gives him the grammar lesson and like walks him through how to like I don't know what does he say like get out like Romans or something like that and like he Romans go home and he like misses up his latins so then like the Roman soldier takes him aside and he's like no no you're doing it wrong like here and he gives him a whole like tutorial and how to anyway still funny can I also say that I think on top of that I think Terry Gilliam and John Cleese and Michael Palin are all very fucking funny and I will watch any movie with John Cleese in it

And I like most of the movie is the Terry Gilliam directs except for that fucking brother's grim movie It was a steaming policy. I'm a time bands one my favorite movies all time. I like the dude It does not hold up. Have you watched it recently? Time Bennett? Yeah, it's it's very very Very smart and dear to my heart Anyway, so what do you what's up with you? Well? We got off on a tangent, but after the Beatles talk, I was going to segue into more music talk with the new girl talk album. What do you think? It's good. I like it.

Gus is talking about the new girl talk album all day, which came out Monday and broke the internet. I think I think it broke their internet. I don't know if it broke the internet proper. I think I like to feed the animals more his previous album. Just because this one seems like a little more mellow, but it's still good. It's still really good. I don't want to sound animals more in his previous album just because this one seems like a little more mellow but it's still good it's still really good I don't want to sound like I'm talking shit about it. I'm actually really excited about mellow right now so it's completely appealing

to me. Yeah, Griffin and I were listening to it in bed last night not like sexy bed or anything. Just married bed. Just married bed. And like on the furthest side of the bed. We were just like having a conversation and listening to music and I hit, I hit my point where I fell in love with the album that last night. Like, it was like, I grew up with the mellow thing, like it's not nearly as frantic as feet of the animals. But like, it kind of, I don't know, it works, like, if what you're looking for is mellow, you can't beat it. Yeah, and that's really good.

I just tried it, I wanted to listen to it in the studio. I'm kind of, I'm moving to the studio this week and hang out with Monty back there. And so I was I wanted to listen to the new album So I was telling about it, but then he wanted to he'd never heard a girl talk before so I went and grabbed feed the animals out of the car Which is a lot more energetic and then he's now just wanting to listen to that and I've Listen to that I'm way too much But I'm letting him do his like through the cycle of experiencing girl talk. But he listens to club music first thing in the morning. Of course, his...

It's not first thing in the morning for him. For him, it's like middle of the night. He's about to hit the club. Yeah, so he gets out, it's like eight in the morning and I walk in and it's just like techno. He's a raving, 10 pm. He's got his glow sticks out with him, with his mocapin' glow sticks.

I will say this, I thought it was more more stripped down to and I was looking it up on Wikipedia. I think that the songs actually have more samples than the previous. They transition a lot smoother and you don't notice it as much. He's got a little bit more subtle, I don't know, he's refining his notes. He's a toured. I wish there was more of a recurring theme. Like in Feet the Animals, there was the whole player part theme that I felt there was more of a recurring theme like in Feet the animals there was the whole like player part theme

Then I felt like was recurring and kind of tied the whole album together and while the whole album still flows together You know probably better than feet the animals did there's no like recurring theme if that makes sense Yeah, I think more ambient right yeah, and kind of just and which is nice I think for working it's nice because it doesn't I could see that Yeah, it's the music But you can get get into it. There's like an artist flow though like he doesn't use the same songs over and over again But he uses Rihanna over and over and over again and he uses lady guy got a lot He just uses different songs different cuts But I found that that to be interesting and like I felt like

Jay-Z was in almost every song Well, I was looking at the problem the problem with girl talk is that once you start to listen to it It's hard to listen to those songs like the original is anymore. It's hard to listen to normal music. You can't listen to just one song at a time. You've got to have like three or four going at one. It's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's

it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's He's like, one little part of the song he used, but the rest of the song was horrible and you realized, oh, that's why he took that one bit. Yeah, or he took that bit that wasn't even good in the song, and he put a track behind it to make it. Somehow made it good.

Yeah. So I was glad to see that there was another Missy Elliott section. Yeah, Missy Elliott. I like Missy Elliott's. Yeah, I didn't like what he did with the Ramonesa, but I liked the Missy Elliott. I actually liked it.

You said that it made the Ramonesa's interesting, but I think that it was the space. It was like the timing that made it interesting. I can see you've got some kind of weird. He was playing the pauses You gotta listen between the notes Are you making a reference to the new credit kid? Yeah, I love this actually. It's just some people saying anyway Okay, I had no idea what's going on I was The new credit it did you it would actually actually really liked it and really loved it.

It was pretty good. She ran around the house trying to punch us. That sounds like the appropriate reaction. No, the appropriate reaction probably would have been a kick. Yeah, she kicks it. She kicks hard, dude. She gets straight from the knees. She's got huge feet.

I watched a grown-up the other day. You did not like it. No, that move was terrible. I just liked it more than it. But we've watched it. It was the first thing we watched on the TV. We have our after place, our old one. And so we got one that I don't know what the deal is, like it just doesn't look right. It's got 120 Hertz refresh rate as our old TV had a 60 or 65

and it makes television look like a British sitcom. It's weird. Yeah, and so I couldn't get over it. It might have been that movie. I'm really with terrible. It looks so bad. It's getting used to it. Now it's translated into other stuff we've watched too, But I will say I don't know what it is about to do but Colin Quinn makes me laugh no matter what if I see Colin Quinn I'm laughing. And the guy with the quick at eye that it was his buddy. When I first saw Colin Quinn I thought he was I don't kneel as Al Bundy. Like he's like he's getting up there. Man, have you tried, the other night Jeff passed out on the floor at 10 p.m. so I was kind of up to entertain myself.

So I decided to try to rewatch Mary to Children because I found out on Netflix. I can't watch that anymore. It's just completely unwatchable. I think it was pretty unwatchable when it first came out. I think it was just like, I don't know how old I was, but just like, when I was younger,

and I think this is typical for a lot of teenagers, you just have insomnia, like you just can't sleep at night. So I would watch like horrible bad television, but it was more enjoyable. I guess in context. You guys are crazy. That show is watchable just for every scene with Christine I have again. I don't know how you could.

I mean, I have no idea what I've watched married for a thousand times. I have no idea what the show is about, but I know every outfit that she wore in every episode. I will say I do like the dog. I don't know what kind of read that is, but the dog is awesome. It was just some mud wasn't it? I guess so, but yeah, it was cool looking dog. So you said you were watching,

quite you watched it on Netflix, did you have it on streaming? I think so, I must have been nervous. Yeah, it was Netflix streaming. Yeah, because I don't, I don't know. I didn't want to buy anything, but I wouldn't buy it, you know. Has there been any news on when Hulu's

coming to the Xbox? When they announced it, they said that it would be coming in uh... early next year i believe i think so need just opened up who do everyone you don't have to be placed a should be sure they did plus anymore i think anyone can do it on the p s three so i think what michael soft said

is that they weren't gonna do like they wanted who knew on the xbox to be an xbox experience, like a full Xbox experience with like connect support and all of that. So they weren't just gonna like copy and paste Hulu into the dashboard and have to be its own like half-ass kind of way. And so they wanted to take the time to develop Hulu properly for the Xbox. Well, I could see that.

I feel like the Netflix implementation on the 360s way better than the implementation on the PS3 and on my other Blu-ray player I have. Well, PS3, they finally just dropped the disc, right? Yeah. Which is, I mean, good for PS3 owners, because that disc is fucking retarded. Yeah. So, but yeah, the Netflix experience and it gets better every update, like the search functionality. I think I got their search. You know, I used to have Apple TV before I get stolen. And the search on Apple TV is so slow and clergy compared to the way they have search on Netflix. It's great.

I just want to get connected to port internet. Yeah, I hear you. It's coming, right? I hope you're good. But I guess Hulu also announced today that they're dropping the price on Hulu Plus. The $7.99? Yeah, and now it's open to anyone who can sign up. And anyone who is in the preview and paid $999 a month, I guess gets that credit back

for the extra money they spent. Oh, we do. That's that you run the program too, right? Yep. I signed up like Dick. I'm a big fan. Yeah, so I highly recommend everyone sign up for that. Because it's well worth it.

Yeah. It'll be on the 360 soon. Yeah, someday. So have you been playing a lot of, what have you been playing over at Cheuben Hunter? I've been playing personally a lot of Fable 3, Jack handled Call of Duty and Star Wars for Sunlish 2, and then I'm transitioning into Brotherhood right now, which is a really good game.

I might actually, I'm a bit of a... Maybe game of the year, contender. I still have to finish Fable 3 and I haven't really had time to play it, but now I'm seeing you watch Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and I'm like oh, do I want to switch? Yeah, she was watching me play lots, that's just so pretty. It's so pretty. It's a shame about all the killing. I'd like to just play it. Now that's the thing, sometimes like I kind of like to just wander around in video games and I just hate sometimes I'm like oh I'm getting

attacked again. I just wanted to look at this building. It's just like real life. It also has the functionality in that game where you can buy properties and manage them and a whole thing too so that's super appealing to her. I know, I love it. And it's, yeah. She owns every building in Fable 3. Do you? You must pay a lot of repair money. I do, yeah, but it's worth it.

I wish I was a little easier. I wish there was an easier interface for the repair. I agree with that. Well, here's worth it. I wish I was a little easier. I wish there was an easier interface for the repair. I agree with that Well, here's the thing Table three is a lot more like streamlined But it's streamlined the point of the game out of it to me like I don't know I don't enjoy it as much as able to and I was hoping to just I Don't know I was I've been focused on just beating the game and like Get through the story and then later on like and this sort of happened with people to you like after I beat the game

Then I had a lot more fun with it because I was just doing the fun stuff But the fun stuff's kind of taken out of table three because like after I beat the game, then I had a lot more fun with it because I was just doing the fun stuff. But the fun stuff's kind of taken out of Fable 3 because it was, I think, make it simpler for people. I don't like, the one thing that I really don't like, and I didn't realize that I liked it in Fable 2, I don't like that they've taken the skill out of interacting with NPCs.

Like, if Fable 2, you had the bar, and you had to try to hit it to, like, have a regular action. You could also pick, and maybe you can do this and be able to just have figured it out to pick what interaction you have but you can buy those interaction packs in the road to rule I did buy them but they just come up as far as I can tell they just pop up random right you have to select what they have like either a good one or a bad one you can't switch to a water which I also don't understand why the icons float around.

Yeah. It's always the same. You're like good, like middle bad. I also wonder why you can't just perform an expression just to perform it. Like in Fable 2, you could just perform it and then people would see it and they'd react. Now you have to like choose a specific person and only they react. You look like really good. I do kind of, I will say I do, I don't mind that aspect of Fable 3 where like you select the person, you go into this other sort of zone where you're only talking to them because sometimes it was like you were saying Esther when she was playing, she would at least she said that like she would actually be like kissing or flirting with somebody who wasn't her husband. Yeah, by accident trying to select

her husband and it didn't work out. It doesn't work in real life. I don't think. Another problem I had with Fable 2 was like the downside to doing that, those expressions to a group of people is when they'd start following you and they'd follow you into a house and then you couldn't get out because there were like so many people crowded around you. That's true and it's even worse than all the people, like not multiplayer, what's the thing when you need to go up. Co-op, co-op. Yeah and then it's like you can't get anywhere.

Yeah but luckily you don't get the wrongs of people following you in your house anymore. Yeah it's like it's kind of six to one half dozen of the other, you know? It's like, I appreciate the improvements. I kind of missed some elements, but I can understand why they were taking out, but, you know, you lose some of the fun, but you have less aggravation in general playing the game, you know?

Right. Plus when you had all those people following you and fable two, the frame rate would fucking die. Yeah, it would. And that was the worst. You get like 10 people following you, you're like, oh shit, well, we're gonna have five times a second now for them

until I get a town. Just do some magic fucking disperse them. I do like that as a girl, you don't get like, you don't suddenly look like, I don't know, if you fought it all, are you ate anything to heal yourself? Like you just got like a huge and non feminine and like, I kind of missed the idea of the body team. I mean, I know that your weapons,

modifying, that's cool, but I miss like scars and stuff. Yeah, and I do, I kind of miss that you had, you had to do that more like, you had to go and buy put, like if you wanted to be thin, you had to go get thinning put. Like now I feel like- Or celery. Yeah, I don't, I just don't feel like there's that level

of intricacy that I really liked, and I know that it maybe made things, slowed things down for people who just wanted to play the game. Right. But- My wife hated that being evil made you like, look evil and ugly and fable too she wanted a durian gray sort of Yeah, yeah, and she was always like she said she was always like looking around for a for celery

Yeah, she's always eating like that was one of those For the front of a fable to like you just knew all the places like okay, well if I want to get cute again I gotta go here. Yeah, I got all that stuff. That's another thing too It's like you still have like you meat vendors and your food vendors and stuff, but I beat the game without ever eating a single piece of food because there was no point, you know, I never felt an impetus to get it. I don't really dig it up or anything. You just, I was just all potions.

Yeah, and usually I get potions in chests right before I've been like, they definitely give you potions when you're, when they know you're going to need them. I feel like it's fable with training wheels. I feel like it's kind of a little bit. Oh, speaking of that, did you guys see the fable DLC announcement? I didn't tell you about this. No, I didn't see that. Yeah, there's in Bowerstone. The DLC is going to be you're going to discover a city under Bowerstone called Understone, I think. And you're going to go and that's going to quest down there and explore and meet all these people and figure out who's controlling them And then there's going to be some like arena type stuff where you they repurpose rivers arena into a thing that you can go and do challenges in and

It comes that next week, I think so next week of the week after that's cool They're not the first new Vegas DLC as well. It's like a treasure kind of thing. It's a call. Yeah, dead money at the Dead call. Yeah, are you are you still playing? Are you done with the new Vegas? I finished it. When the DLC comes out, I'll buy it and I'll go back and play it. Okay. What are you playing right now? Right now I'm kind of between stuff. I was playing Fable 3 and I kind of put that on a hold for a little while. I've been playing some black ops. I've been playing actually for fun. I've been playing Reach again. The other day I decided I wanted to figure out how to get Carter's helmet.

There's an Avatar-oil ward to get Carter's helmet. You have to beat a level on Legendary with that dying. I don't want to see how hard that would be. I was able to do it and actually carry me to video. I had carry me to video for it, but we'll put up today. But then I still have to get my Lieutenant Colonel and I'm a captain right now. So I started playing and it doesn't get me any closer. I don't get any CR for playing it, but now that infection is its own game type, man, I could play that for hours on hours, on hours. That game is so, I don't know what it is about infection, but that is such a fun game type. Yeah, it's pretty fun.

So that's what I've been playing for fun at home lately. What are you playing, Griffin? Actually, I've been really busy. We've been kind of Amping up production here. So just been kind of like he finishes And then he'll go and like be the good parents and I haven't really been home much. I'll be a good parent. I'll throw a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in Millie's face and then I'll go play. And they're like just playing games for two.

Oh, yeah. So we, but the problem right now is that our living room has nothing like we The thing about getting robbed at sex like we got robbed we got Rob and we're out of the house all of our furniture was pushed off into storage and so but we've been so tired to like put the house back together so we we've got Rob but it feels like every single thing in our lives was taken because there's nothing even sitting on pillows and the living room floor I feel like I'm 19 again in my first apartment yeah it's terrible it's I think at 19 I had more furniture like I had a chair at least. There was nothing worse than having a sit on the floor, but at least the floors are new.

You decided to read that right? They're beautiful. And I'm actually, that's something now. I don't really want to move our shitty furniture back in because it's all torn up by the cats and the floor is so pretty. I don't want to like, it's going to make everything else look worse. But I don't know. Griffin's fucking cat decided to celebrate the new floors by pissing in all the floor vents

Yeah, it's awesome. She's mad at it. Just four times So that was great. Hey, you saw the you saw the I've been excited about a movie for a long time that I heard was coming out called your Highness Danny with bride and Yeah, James Franco and Natalie Portman and Zoe Dashnell and James Franco and Natalie Portman and Zoe Dashnell. And it got announced maybe a year ago, and it's supposed to be a medieval version of Pineapple Express is how it was described. Do you see the red band trailer today?

Yeah, I did. Whoa. That was this really disappointing. That might be the longest trailer I've ever seen in my life. I don't think I've ever seen that many people I like and something I like that little. You know? I just, why make the trailer?

I mean, why make the trailer that long? You have to see it. I don't know. It seems like for that, you might want to just pick one or two little choice thing. It was also weird to me that the first half of the trailer was like, they're trying to go super slapstick comedy and then halfway through, it's like,

super action movie, then it goes back to comedy. It felt like a 14-minute trailer. Oh, I will say this a Natalie Parmo was in a phone in it That was pretty cool. I mean evil phone. What James Franco's in it. So there you go Yeah, what did you do something for everyone? Oh my god, and Danny McBride does not do the British accent well That's gonna be hard to listen to and I part of his charm is that like kind of red Nikki sort of thing He's got going you know, and it's like he just took that away So what is he wouldn what is he at? Wouldn't it have been funnier if they all just had their normal American accent in like in that setting? Wouldn't that like that in itself have been hilarious?

Sort of like what is that Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court? Yeah exactly. Or like Martin Lawrence in Black Knight. Yeah, no, but what we'll see. I think that movie comes out early next year. Maybe maybe it'll be okay. It's true. I've seen bad trailers for great movies before right so never know we were not blown away by the first Avatar trailer, but that movie turned out to be awesome good and open it's you there Man, you know how to open a door. Yeah. What's up, Monty? Monty wants to know for anybody listening to the podcast right now Monty wants to know where the radio shack is

Money wants to know for anybody listening to the podcast right now money wants to know where the radio shack is There was your might know at radioshack.com Maps.google.com slash radio shack 78748 a metaphor for me. Okay, what is it? money Remember when we were playing we first playing Halo reach and you're like how can games not be art right because they had like those cool called sculptures and stuff I do remember that right and it's like I remember you guys are pretty surprised when you heard that um What was his name Roger Ebert? What's it would say games isn't not art? Sure cuz he's a smart guy, right? I wouldn't say surprise just to support it. Yeah, right, right um I'd say the metaphor for that would be you could hang on the Mona Lisa in a strip club but

that doesn't change the fact that you're standing in a strip club. Doesn't change the fact that it's still the Mona Lisa though. Right but the Mona Lisa is art but what you do in a strip club is an art. That may be not to you but to some of us. That's a questionable at best, but I think that you have there's something to be said I think that what you're saying is context is sort of right right, and that's true I mean if you take I mean there are a lot of there's a lot of art like we went and where did we go? Just a club no no no in London we when we were there visiting I heard Texas has a lot of good strip club British strip club. Yeah. I know you're talking about please just answer my question

The museum we went to it was oh the tape modernpe modern. There's a lot of stuff in there that really does not seem that like greater that took a lot of skill to do or even like a lot of, I don't know, I don't know. It just isn't that awesome. But you put it in a giant awesome museum and you frame it right. It's great. And it's art and it's considered art because you're there looking at art. Right. Right. Well, art doesn't have to be difficult, right right? I mean there's beauty and simplicity. It's all about the expression and the statement. The presentation plays a lot of part of it. Back to gaming, right? A game isn't defined by just what it's contained. It's also about what you do with it. So like I think maybe the argument against gaming and art it just be like, you know, you can put as much art into it. That doesn't make the game itself art.

You could make the exact same argument about strippers. It's what you do with it. It's how you work what you got. Yeah. It's what we're getting down to here. Alright, that's enough of me. I've never understood why people get so impassioned about what Roger Ebert said about gaming and not being art. You know, what doesn't matter. It's not his medium. Goodbye. I see him on money i think that the problem is is that he's such a liked and respected and insightful and smart dude

that pretty much everybody if you know who Roger Debert is you like him and he's a really like a baguette smart guy and not just in the realm of movies but he's he's politically smart and he's socially smart and if you follow him on twitter you read read his blogs, the guys are really interesting, dude So it's just disappointing to see somebody who you respect on that level Be so dismissive of something that's so important to some people but you know, fuck it who cares People get so impassioned about it and always want to talk about it. It's like yeah, we talked about it

I mean, yeah, I know how long ago did you say that you know four or five years ago? It's been a while then they they, like, reiterated it. Yeah, who cares, right? Play your fucking video games, that's fun. Play games. If you know it's art, it's art. You know, it's all about what it is to you, I guess, right? That's what art is, right?

It's how you interpret it, so not a big deal. If you think it's art, you can make it art. You have the magic in your hands, in your eyes. The power up is in you. All right, it's enough of that. Did you see that article that came out last week or is it this whatever came out over the weekend that the US was smuggling Nazi scientists into the US after World War II?

It's fucking crazy, dude. That is so fucking crazy. That's talking about video games. That's a plot of like every like pseudo world war two video game you ever play I feel like I'm playing this like a wolf inside article or like an alternate reality game where it's like yeah it were war two the Germans won or you know not scientists were smuggled out and worked on secret government programs what was that mech game used to play on the new battalion now on the xbox it was

it maybe read something that it was was, it was exactly that. And the game started with a bunch of like old war footage of Nazis winning World War Two, and then you were like fighting Max in like the 80s, but you still had like all the World War Two era technology. Yeah, what game was that? Red. It wasn't like Red Steel or Red, it was some red, red. Fuck.

I don't remember. You love that game though. You played it a lot. Yeah, that was the Xbox one game. Xbox my game. I might have been PS2. No, I think it was Xbox. I don't remember what it was. It wasn't... No, I don't know. You got me stumped. No, it's I. I remember when we lived together, you were always playing it. Well, if you find it, you can link it later. There you go. Yeah, I'll have to look it up later. And it's going to drive me crazy. I'm not going to be thinking about anything else for the rest of the podcast. Yeah, the craziest thing while you're

obsessed with that, the craziest thing about that article is that, you know, we smuggled all of the Nazi, not all, I'm sure, but like a lot of Nazi scientists talking about, we smuggled a ton of Nazi scientists into America at the end of World War Two because we didn't want the rest of the world to get them because these are some smart motherfuckers. And what they've discovered now, I think was it NBC, Gus, that figured this out? I heard on NBC. Like the government commissioned a study to determine what happened to all of the scientists at the end of World War II that just kind of disappeared. And in the early 2000s, they came to the conclusion that, oh, we, the government, of the United States

government, actually brought them to America and put them to work secretly. And so they buried the study and tried to bury it so that it never got, like, never saw the light of day. And then NBC broke it a couple weeks ago, or maybe even last week. And the crazy thing is that they were all, most of them were like rocket propulsion scientists and a lot of them were. And that the explosive growth we had when we caught up to Russia in the space program was all fueled by those Nazi scientists.

Nazi scientists put us on the moon. The Nazi, the scientists who was working on the V2 rockets for Germany is the guy who invented the Saturn V rocket Yeah, the Apollo missions used to to get to the moon. So you know Hitler put us on the moon in a lot of ways Which is fucking crazy. Well that it kind of goes to show that I mean you have somebody who's talented They're usually working forever. So you know able to support their research or whatever It doesn't or who's captured them and put them in a laboratory and some more

killer family. Right. So I mean, you can't always, I don't know, I mean, I know this that whole like I was just following orders kind of thing, which you can't really agree with it at the same time, you know, a lot of people, if they're pushed into something and they're told this is the only way you're going to go to jail if you don't do this. Dude, I mean, it's how Ironman came to be, right? It's a very good point. Yeah Necessities, the mother of invention, dude had to break out

All right, well we shouldn't go too long because we know we have a lot of production stuff that we need to wrap up today We do we do before we take off anything else anyone wants to talk about I want to mention that connect sold one point 1.3 million units worldwide in the first 10 days in a U.A in the Americas and then four days in the rest of the world. Which is fucking awesome. It sold 950,000 units in America in the first 10 days and as compared to the move which had in a month I think sold like 250,000. Oh really? I heard the move numbers.

Yeah, the move numbers were bad identical. I think they sold like 1.1 million but almost all of of their Sales were in Europe and it's like it's like the reverse. I mean the move did very well in Europe and did a lot better than the connect and connect in Europe But I guess they have a larger insult fan base there So yeah, but connect seems to be a smash it for Microsoft I think I even read that it sold about as many they sold about as many connects in the first 10 days as we were sold in the first 10 days. Oh, that's crazy. Which is crazy to think about. But then you also take a new generation. Supply constraints. Supply constraints. Yeah. So also I read that the 360 has sold 3.5 million copies this year and it's the it won the console battle this year. 360 outsold we and the PS3 handily this year.

Wow. Yeah, so good for them. I have a one little thing before we go I Just wanted to let everyone know that he's been asking me immersion is Gonna come out soon. It's gonna come at really soon. I can't give like a specific date But for anyone asking it still around and we're about to start releasing episodes Yeah, one of the things we like to do maybe she clarified one of the things we like to do Especially with an unproven concept like immersion is we like to get five or six or seven episodes under our belt before we start to release them because it gives us a cushion, a production cushion,

but also you don't want to make like an episode think it's something and this is I would recommend this for anybody who wants to make an online series. You don't want to make like a first episode and go, oh yeah, this is great and put it up and then have people the next seven days later going, hey, where's episode two and you realize that it was a lot harder to make or things didn't work out the way you wanted it to Or you weren't happy with the way the production went and then you go, oh shit I can't either can't release it or I have to release something I'm not happy with and so we've got five or six Emergence under our belt now Yeah, and part of it too is that when we started in our heads

It was like an easy concept that would be easily achievable and it's turned out to be a little bit more Complex as far as production. Well, all of science, right? Right. Lots of precise measurement. Well, we had to get a slide rule, and then we had to hire somebody to teach us how to use it. I don't even know what a slide rule is.

Yeah, anyway. No, it's referenced. It's on its way. Don't worry. Okay, great. There you go. All right. Is that it?

I think so. Revelation CDs and iTunes. Oh, yeah. It, yeah. All right, is that it? I think so. Revelation CD is in iTunes. Oh, yeah. It's source. Yeah, like you said, like I said, I just came out this week. Yeah. Rt short season two. Oh, yeah. Pre-order Rt short season two.

That's on our website. Not iTunes. Not iTunes. And I think I saw, I think I saw, and I could be wrong about this, but I think I saw reconstruction and maybe recreation on Zoom Marketplace last night. Oh, interesting. Yeah'm you might want to double check that and then cut this out if that's not correct. Well, maybe everyone should go check. Maybe when everyone should go check. All right.
