There's never been a girl it's time to take a world on the drunk take podcast
No, so
You're Gus. I know you're about to take off
Uh, what's up? Did he call you a techno pussy?
I think it's a techno wizard. Do you think no wizard?
I think the techno pussy should be a there's a techno wizard. Do you see a techno wizard? I think it's a techno pussy. techno pussy should be a new shirt.
techno pussy's not nearly as good.
No, I think it's way better.
At least you're not stank.
Although I think that might have been men as a compliment.
No, it's totally a compliment.
I'm stank.
How do you figure that?
You got your stank on.
Got my stank on.
I love how you're just like, it was said about me.
So obviously it was a compliment.
Well, I also think techno pussy's a compliment
It sounds hot sounds like something from the future
I think you can buy that at Best Buy that would be an awesome movie
Man, I yeah, do you want to go to Best Buy and see if we can pick that up?
Maybe in a bit. Yeah, I got a lot of stuff going on today. We had a
It's a couple of hard drives dying the office. So I've been working on that
So we have to keep it short today and I'll be I'll be ending out of the podcast as I'm working on
stuff. So what are you what are you about to delve into you got to do some hard drive recovery?
Yeah and replacement boring stuff. You would. The doldrums my day-to-day boring. You really do have
the best job in the company? No, no. My really, really don't. Like, while you're here. My job is to remind people to back stuff up and then when their hard drives die, be like,
where's this backed up and hear them go?
No, it's weird.
Back, I guess the backup wasn't running.
I guess the fact that I didn't ever turn the backup on, it didn't work.
How does that...
Damn.
Yeah, yeah, awesome, fun, fun job.
You know, I feel, no, seriously, like I'm so jealous, like in as soon as this podcast
is over, I'm going to take a leisurely lunch with, you know,
maybe have a beer too.
Then I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna play some video games
and make a video.
And all the while, you'll be hanging out
under somebody's desk with a screwdriver in your hands.
That's a work hard driving.
You know, I've been doing this stuff for a while.
I would like to get to a point in my career in my life
where I don't have to roll around on the floor
crawling under people's desks.
Well, what kind of fun is that?
One day, I need to hire someone
to do that part of the job for me.
You get everything else I can deal with.
Everything else I can handle.
I'm old.
See, like a techno pussy deputy.
Yeah, it's like a thing that you're like dead poet society.
You get under the desk, you see the world
from a different perspective, right? I don't think I ever saw dead poets
Don't they get on the desk. Yeah, they get on the desk. But the desk he gets under it. Just watch
Yeah, I'm like a troll. I like hide under the high under the desk
You're like a you're like a secretary who really wants that promotion
There are some things I will not do but there are plenty that I will
Yeah, I just say I haven't I haven't seen that limit reached yet. I can't wait to though.
So what's up with you? What video game are you playing? What are you working on these days?
Well, let's see. I wrapped up Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and now I'm back in Fable 3.
I'm thinking about cracking the DLC for that today, but before I do that, I just got to,
you know, we rarely get games early, but for some reason we did, we got this
Super SBXK game that comes that next week.
Superbike World Championship. You know, I'm a huge superbike player.
Perfect hand, right? Best game ever?
I don't know what the fuck a superbike is, but it looks like a motorcycle game, which you know racing games don't lend themselves to the best videos,
but this one has an achievement to injure yourself
so badly you're forced out into early retirement. So I'm going to call it's called SBKX.
And it's the only officially licensed Superbike World Championship game. So you get to play
as all your favorite professional Superbike World Champions.
I'll be damned, I really like it. This is a real game. It is a real game. I'm really looking forward to it.
But yeah, there's an achievement to wreck a bike
beyond repair, and then there's one to cause such bodily injury
that you have to retire.
Your character is forced in retirement.
So I'm going to try to knock those out in one video.
See, if I can have such a spectacular crash,
and I haven't even taken the cell phone off the game yet,
so I'm not sure how possible it's going to be.
But yeah, that's going to be my afternoon
is trying to end some digital characters professional
career. You know, you say that, but we're finally book. Can we talk about book four? Yeah.
Okay. Well, we've had some technical problems with book four. I mean, that's why there isn't
a book for right. There's no book for Christmas this year coming in February to speaking
of not backing things up we lost we had two backups
Chai Luke had backups and backups failed so we lost a lot of the images Luke had to redraw
what like 50 comics 54 comics 54 comics and then and then just as he was wrapping that up our
computer was stolen with all the all the commentaries that were written on it yeah like we had on
our end we were like well let's just get the book written, like all the commentaries and everything written, the forward all that shit, so that when Luke
finally redraws those comics, would it be bam, out the door. And like a week before that happened,
uh, yeah, the computer with the entire book on it got stolen. You know, we're starting
over from scratch too. Not to, uh, you know, poke all the other down, but why didn't you have Luke send me the hard drive to recover the 54 comics?
He sent it to me different data recovery specialists and they said there was nothing they could do with it.
Should have sent it down.
Yeah, well, you know hindsight.
I got a magnifying glass. I can read all that shit. Those ones and zeros.
Well, anyway, so that's why we've been delayed.
You know what I think of every time I hear the word magnifying glass?
I don't know why.
Encyclopedia brown pops into my head.
Oh man.
Are you guys ever encyclopedia brown?
I've read every encyclopedia brown book.
Yeah, me too, man.
They were great.
And before whatever reason, I associate encyclopedia brown with magnifying glasses and vice
versa.
The first thing that came from mine is weird, but that episode of Star Trek
Generation where a data gets stuck in the past or whatever and then he's got
to figure out like lead poisoning or whatever like or that alien metal that's
killing people and he has to develop and he doesn't remember who he is.
Right, yeah.
I remember that.
He builds this like crazy tilt like a microscope by like at stacking up all of these lenses.
Do you remember that?
No, I did.
Seems to have escaped my memory.
I do remember that.
Maybe you're being affected by the metal as well.
It's entirely possible.
You are.
So that's what I think about when I think
it magnifying glasses.
Yeah.
That's an encyclopedic memory of Star Trek you have there.
You work Star Trek into a conversation at least once
a day, I think.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Who's the hottest person on Star Trek?
Next generation, TNG.
Who'd be Goldberg, duh.
Yeah, Guy, no.
Well, that's pretty cute.
Oh, yeah.
Wrong Patrick Stewart.
No, right.
All right, well, if you go with like,
If you go with like,
charisma of Patrick Stewart,
it's the way to go, right?
I think Joel is actually like in,
like in love love with Patrick Stewart.
Is that true?
Oh my God, he loves him.
He always talks about how when he would,
I don't want to steal the stories,
but he always talks about how when he would be on set
and he would be around a lot of famous people.
Wait, maybe you should get Joel in here to tell the story.
Yeah, I can't.
Joel's not here.
He's on a commercial shoot.
Remember Joel and Jack are on a commercial shoot.
That's right, that's right.
I know Jack's going on.
I haven't been upstairs.
We wouldn't send Jack on a commercial shoot by himself.
That would never.
So like Joel's the top run?
It's never a million years haven't yeah
Jack is serving as Joel's technopussy for the week
I'm glad someone else is doing it
Gus got the week off so that he could fix our dreaded. So yes, I could fix stuff here
Yeah, I don't know where I was going with that though. You're going with
He's into Patrick Stewart. Yeah, oh, yeah, so he always talks about how like he'd be on set and you know like
He worked on Buffy and Angel and like criminal minds and all these shows
They'll be like hey, there's Mandy Ptanken. Yeah, or like they're Serm Michelle Geller
But then he won't work with Patrick Stewart
I think it was on X-Men and he said like he just saw him and froze and lost his shit and went up and introduced himself and then spent like
Three or four minutes just recounting Patrick Stewart's entire career to Patrick Stewart
The point where like somebody had to like pull like somebody had to save Patrick Stewart
from Joel.
It wasn't there in essence.
It'll skit like that where someone goes up to a famous person like, Hey, remember when
you were in that movie?
It was awesome.
Well, that was a, it was early.
Yeah.
That was his like interview.
His talk show.
His talk show.
Yeah.
Um, that's funny.
Did he talk about Lady Gray?
I don't know.
No, Lady Jane.
Lady Jane. Lady Jane. I don't know. But you, next, when Joel gets back in time,
you can ask him about it.
It's a pretty funny story.
Maybe we'll get him to come on the podcast
and interrupt us repeatedly with that story.
Oh, podcasts.
So, hey, episode two of immersion comes up today.
Are you guys excited?
Yes.
I'm very excited.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
This podcast comes out.
The episode two of immersion will have already
been released.
Yeah. This will be all news and people want to know how we mentioned it. Yeah, that's true.
I still haven't seen that.
I haven't seen any of that footage.
I just watched an earlier cut of it and I'm excited like it looks good.
Yeah, I saw and I watched it with Griffin.
It looks really good.
It was you and I had nothing to do with that episode of immersion.
Which I'm actually really, really happy about in some ways.
Because immersion is basically like burnies
Like Bernies figured out new ways to hurt us. Yeah, totally like I'm really really we're filming a new episode of immersion this week or next week, right?
And I'm really not excited about it like this one
I'm very unhappy that we're doing because I'm pretty sure it's gonna hurt a lot
Yeah, I don't want to give anything away, but it's gonna be very painful. It has a potential to be extremely painful. Yeah, I guess I'm not it
Yeah, we keep a every time I go back into for another production meeting
We talk about it like there's one more painful thing
I don't know. Well, that one's okay, but we could do this worst thing
What's the what's the line that you don't want to cross? You know, it's like is that too far now?
I think the line keeps getting moved and we don't have a line because that's not progressive thinking.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So, I guess we can also finally talk about how
Megas 64 came and hung out with us for a week
while we made those videos.
Yeah, yeah, we made five videos in five days.
Well, we made four and then,
well, we all made five videos together,
but they filmed one and we filmed four.
All right.
I'll be right back.
You guys keep each other entertained
and keep the listeners entertained.
We'll keep the listeners entertained. So Griffin, what's going on with you? Well something actually a personal problem
You have a personal problem. Yeah, do you want to talk about it? I guess so my the theme of my pants is
Feels like a shrink. I don't know like the crotch seam and I can you have a dine of fall asleep? I think it's a sleep
If I stand up is it gonna get like all weird? Can you imagine a fall asleep?
Is that probably every married woman has about four years into the marriage, right?
Maybe that's, I just lost all feeling together in general.
You're a, you're a vagina just went into a, like, hibernation.
It's gone dormant.
It's like, it's like, what is sleep stasis?
I'm like, I'm really, where they put, freezing that mind.
Yeah, like a cryo chamber.
Yeah.
It'll, you're a vagina will fall out when it gets to Mars. Well, I hope so hope so and that'd be great like when I turn 80. I'll have like a 30 year old vagina
Dude, that's a great. That's another movie that could be a you could sell that to a two packet. That's why with techno pussy
God I wish I'd worn different pants. Yeah, I'm so sorry
Do you think it's together for the podcast? Do you think it's the pants shrunk or maybe something else?
You know, it's a lot of people or maybe something else? No, they shrunk a bit. Yeah, the pants.
You know, a lot of people don't realize it, but denim does shrink.
Okay, here's the thing.
I will say I'm starting to gain weight.
I've noticed like I've been working at Risteteeth now and I'm gaining weight.
Oh, there's a, we have a, it's a plan.
It's, no, it's true, but like I think everyone gains a little weight when they start
working here and I think a lot of it has to do with, we're in South Park like the, in
South Austin and it's mostly just kind of bad food like a lot of it has to do with, we're in South Park, like the, in South Austin.
And it's mostly just kind of bad food,
like a lot of texamix and that kind of stuff.
So I've been eating.
We just moved the office here, though.
That doesn't explain all the previous weight gain.
Yeah, the last time we did.
What do you mean previous?
If I've been gaining weight steadily, I would be like,
We're talking about the office.
You're blaming, you're blaming working
at the office for weight gain.
So you're blaming, you're saying everyone here gain weight.
No, no, no, no.
I mean, in general, we, we sit in front of computers a lot
and don't move around.
I think that you would have discovered the same amount of weight gain
Had you been working in the old office full-time? Yeah, okay, basically it's gravity as we get as we all get fatter
We just attract more weight to us
It's physics. I think Stephen Hawking is working on the thesis about it. Well, Stephen Hawking
Hey, speaking of Stephen Hawking this has nothing to do with him. Did you see that NASA is going to announce that there may be life on somewhere tomorrow?
They are going to announce something related to potential life.
It looks like it's just going to get our attention.
I think it's over-hyped.
I think people are getting too excited about it.
It's going to be nothing.
CNN had a big story on it and they don't get overhyped without anything.
Let's see what's on the front page of CNN right now
because I love the CNN website. Oh it's the best terrible stuff. I can tell you what's on the front page. I'm off the top of my head I'm going to tell you I'm going to say that Republicans
are going to all 42 senators are going to block any bill that gets presented until the two bills
that they want to be taken care of, or taken care of, and then there are storms in the east coast
that made a house fall down.
How the fuck did you know that?
Those are the two dumb stories.
Guys, dude, I, you know.
There's another store in here that I read last night
that's fucking frightening.
I don't know if you read it.
I guess,
this plane in India was flying.
The pilot gets up, goes to the bathroom.
And while he's gone, the co-pilot decides to adjust his seat.
And when you adjust his seat, he knocks the control stick so that the plane starts diving
And they dive 7,000 feet at a 26 degree angle in a 737
And the pilot like has to run out of the bathroom and come back and help him pull the jet back out to stabilize
Don't you get co-pilot if you're a co-pilot, shouldn't you know enough to be able to pull up?
That's like the plane is diving, how do I fix this?
Maybe I should push for it. If you're new you're allowed to be a co-pilot Wait, the police is diving. How do I fix this? Maybe I should push forth.
You're allowed to be a copilot. They should go over that at least once.
Can you imagine what that must have been like for the pilot?
The copilot is probably always like,
I got a man. Go take a, go take a, go to the bathroom.
I don't know. I don't know. He's like the one time.
He's like, you know what?
You've been like copilot for like four years now.
I'm going to trust you with the controls. He sits down on the toilet.
He starts taking a dump.
Probably constipated. And then immediately the plane falls.
And he's like, I knew it.
And then he's like, I'll tell you a story.
This one time, when I was about 11,
I was staying with my cousin Adam
at his mom's house in Florida.
The trouble to the trouble maker?
Well, he's colorful.
And we were setting off fireworks in the yard or something.
And they lived in this like planned community with a lot of trees and shit. And I go into the bathroom. I've diarrhea.
So I got taken a terrible dump, right?
And it was that it has to be part of the story. It is.
It has been like, I'm like a minute into this, you know, this, this is going to be a lengthy process for me to be in the bathroom.
And my cousin Adam starts banging on the door. And I'm like, leave dude. He's like no, you have to come out and he's like crying and he's freaking out
I'm like what's wrong? What's wrong? He's like, have you left? I set the woods on fire. I don't know what to do
I'm like look at the window and I can kind of see the flames
What the fuck and he's like you got help you got help me. I'm like I really can't help you right now
I've got a I got my own issues
I got my own fires put out.
Yeah, I've got my own fires put out.
And by the time I finished up, he was just screaming
and shooting a fire like a hose.
Into the woods.
I got a nose.
Yeah, he's shooting a garden hose into the woods.
Got it put out though.
And I got my fire put out and everything was fine.
So.
It's a crisis of burden.
Crisis of burden.
So probably something similar happened to that poor pilot.
How much time do I have time to squeeze this out before I go save the plane? So, it's a crisis ofverted. Crisis ofverted. So, probably something similar happened to that poor pilot.
Like, he's like, how much time do I have time to squeeze this out before I go save the plane?
You have to make tough decisions, you know?
Did he bust out with his pants around his ankles?
What a humiliating way to go.
And then, like, and then think about like this too, when they finally get the plane righted, right?
And they go back up to cruising altitude, does the pilot then say, okay, I'm going to go back and finish my shit? is he like, I'm gonna have to hold this one for a couple hours because there's no way I'm leaving this route again.
Or the pilot's like, okay, he turns to the copies like, you're gonna have to pay like a standard ticket fare because obviously you have no idea what you're doing up here.
You're just like any other passenger.
Go sit, go sit in coach.
And not the exit row, I don't trust you. Yeah Because it by the because of by the engine in the back and the seat that doesn't decline
You don't deserve a client you're not allowed to adjust your seat anymore
What the fuck's gonna happen next time who's gonna be like who's gonna replace me as co-pilot anyone literally anyone else on this plane
I think there was a goat in the cargo bay this kind of sharp
Man probably wasn't as funny to the people on the plane now.
No, I think I read in the article also that they had just been served a meal.
Oh no.
So there's like, what is that like grilled chicken that they always have?
Like, everyone's laps.
Hey, where was it we were flying Griffin?
Was it to Scotland this summer or England when they we saw the the lady start crying because
they didn't have her.
She requested a gluten free meal and the dude
They didn't get the message and she got in this fight with the with the steward and she started crying in the middle of the plane
We have flight attendant and
Like it was his whole ordeal and he
She was like he was like what can I give you this vegetarian meal?
And she's like, I don't want it. I wanted the gluten one that I ordered
You know, why do I even fill out the form on the website if they're
not going to pay attention to it. And he's like, well, I'm really sorry. And then she's
like, I haven't eaten in 12 hours. And he's like, please take this vegetarian meal. And
she's like, no, just take it away. And she's just like sobbing and crying stuff. Woman's
obviously had a terrible threat.
Yeah. She was like, I overheard her because she lost it and we were kind of making fun
of her. And then, and then I started because I was sitting behind her. I started to listen
to her tell the other passenger sitting next to her.
Didn't know her like kind of where she was up to that point.
And she had like three long.
I mean, yeah, she's been flying for like 20 hours.
She was at that point, I think, insane.
Like it gets it. It gets better.
The guy gets kind of snippy with her and she's like, just take the food away.
I don't want it. So he gives the vegetarian meal to somebody else.
And then like two minutes later, she's like, okay, I'm hungry.
I'll take the vegetarian meal and he's like, well we're all out of
vegetarian meals.
All we have left is this one chicken meal, and she's like, he's like, do you want it?
She's like, I don't have a choice.
And he goes to give it to her and he dropped it.
Oh my God.
And it got all over his shirt.
Oh my God.
And then it fell into him, and it got all over his shirt and then it hit the ground.
And it was, he got pissed and he threw it into the back.
You know where they hit me now? Yeah, he did he threw it and it was the last fucking meal
Oh my god, she was the only person on the plane who didn't get to eat
Fuck her though, you know, oh my god. I know you don't always get your way
But you just have to cope. I don't know you got a deal you got it if you
You don't make you got to take you got a settle for what's in front of you bad day
Don't make ten people have a bad day, you know? And then the dude had fucking spaghetti here.
It was like chicken parmesan all over the shit.
It's like, it's like, it's still,
that being said, no one deserves that.
Oh man.
Yeah, no, it was terrible.
That's horrible.
And you know, that was a flight going from like
a Gatwick to probably Chicago.
I'm gonna guess, or so it was like a seven hour flight
with no food for her.
Yeah, she looks pretty miserable in the end.
Like she actually did look like she needed food.
Like you know people get that weird pale gas.
Like in the end.
Like either of you if you don't eat,
I know that feeling.
I know that feeling.
Like 10 minutes in to when we're ready for a meal
and people are making us wait.
People are wanting to drive another 45 minutes
somewhere else to go eat.
That's actually, I like hanging out with you
at meal time guys, because we take our coffee the same way.
And we also can't put up with people taking forever
like when it gets when it comes to food. No, no, no, no, no, do not take forever. You know what I'm seeing here? I'm seeing a love connection.
I, you know, you're my best friend and you are my wife, my quote unquote soulmate. And so I don't want to stand in the way of happiness.
I would step out of the situation. You're just saying it because it's almost lunchtime.
I'm fucking love needs to grow.
Yeah, the blood, the blood is in the water.
We're ready to fucking eat.
Hey, guess, let me ask you a question.
Go for it.
Won't you not going to be on the podcast because Bernie was going to replace you
since you had to do your hard drive stuff?
Yeah, I don't know where he is.
Oh, wait, yeah, what happened to that?
Bernie's going to because the podcast half over at this point.
He's going to miss it.
Gotta keep it short.
Yeah, I have ducked out though a couple of times to go do stuff.
That's true.
So what is there in that we should be talking about this week?
I don't know. Not a version.
I was gonna bring up another story, another, I guess,
travel related story.
I read the story of the day about this cruise passenger.
I don't remember where the cruise was going from.
It was going from Mexico to Tampa, Florida.
He got really drunk on one wanted to giant cruise ships.
Then went and dropped the anchor on the ship. It was going...
Oh, you fucking serious!
Yeah.
I guess it happened a couple weeks ago.
Some dude from California was like super drunk and he released the anchor in a life buoy at like 5'30 in the morning.
Does that stop the ship? Does the ship go...
No, the ship didn't. I guess it had the possibility to Does that stop the ship? Does the ship go?
No, the ship didn't I guess like it had the possibility to really fuck the ship up because when the anchors down and the ship still going
Like he could have gotten caught into the propeller or punched the hole and caused a you know hole a hole in the hole
The hole the dude got arrested and is being questioned by the FBI damn dude that is funny that's really really funny I guess it's a felony there's been a lot of interesting travel
stories lately like there was that plain Leonardo DiCaprio was on that almost
crashed I didn't heard about that yeah and then like he's right in the
snuck around I don't remember what exactly happened it was on CNN and then there
was that cruise ship that got stuck for a while oh yeah lost power people
fire people had to live like animals apparently
I guess we should also what is living like animals on a cruise ship like yeah, I don't know I guess they didn't have like
Flushing no no toilets would flush. They didn't have any food other than what was being airlifted
What are you talking about? They're in the ocean like yeah, I just like you don't you don't get to you don't drink salt water
No, you just throw it over. Oh, you don't have it didn't have any water either. I don't know
You don't drink salt water. No, you just throw it over.
Oh, you don't have it.
Didn't have any water either.
I don't know if they can water at all.
It was a rough deal.
You don't think they were rationing the water.
OK.
How long were they stuck out there?
I mean, didn't they plant?
You know what they had, though?
They had a badass shuffleboard.
And they had a huge water slide.
And a live band.
Yeah, a live band.
They bingo every day at 4 o'clock.
I guess maybe we should talk about a connect soul 2.5 million
units in 25 days.
Yeah, that's pretty impressive, I would say. That's a, what is that? 25,000 a day or something?
10,000 a day?
That's 2 and a half million in less than a month and their goals to hit 5 million by the end of the year
and they say they're on track to do it.
Yeah.
Which is, and then I just read that it was the biggest cyber
Monday in history.
So who knows how many they sold it.
Yeah, and then I saw like the day after Microsoft
announced their connect numbers.
Sony said they also sold 2.5 million moves.
They said they sold 4 million moves, right?
Well, they said it's been two months.
They said they sold, I thought it was,
they sold 2.5 million in two months,
but they've shipped 4.1 to retail. Oh, maybe I read it wrong. So they've they sold 2.5 million in two months, but they've shipped 4.1 to retail.
Oh, maybe I read it wrong. So they've also sold 2.5 million, but it took them
more than twice as long to do it. Yeah, a Sony representative clarified to Kotaku. I mean, Kotaku,
that the 4.1 million represents units sold to retail outlets from Sony.
Okay, there you go.
So everyone's doing well. Everyone likes that motion gaming. Europeans have move and Americans have a connect.
That seems to be how it's shaken out, right?
Like, move is doing exceptionally well in Europe.
And really no traction at all in America.
And I almost felt like they had a soft launch in America because nobody knew about it.
And then connectors that is like, you know, conversely doing extremely well in America.
And not, doesn't seem to be making many waves in Europe
thus far.
Uh, true. Grand Treesmo 5 came out.
Dude, I heard a, uh, a lot of bad stuff happened with Grand Treesmo 5 coming out,
right? Did it? Well, I know there was that whole thing where it took like,
it was really hard to install. Oh, right. Yeah, it had like, it was an optional
install, but uh, it's like 10 gigs in an hour. I think I think the required installs only
256 megs. I just
I used to acquire to install for a game on a disc
But they also didn't so many I may be mixing up stories, but didn't so many just have to apologize to PSN customers about something or
PlayStation plus customers. Oh, I know about that've heard about that. You should some formal apology.
I thought I had to do with grand trism,
but it must have might have been something else.
So you can have a day.
They had connectivity problems.
Oh, yeah.
Like where they only allocated space
for like 500,000 concurrent connections
on their server end, but they had more than that.
Well, that's pretty impressive.
Yeah, a lot of launch games go through that, though.
I mean, most shooters I feel like
that came out this year had that problem. Yeah, for sure. Except for reach, but I guess that's probably because they do the beta to trend that kind of stuff
Yeah, absolutely, and they did have trouble on the first day of the beta
Speaking of games and apologies. I feel bad. I was kind of harsh about Fable 3 recently on the podcast. I'm getting into it more
I just wanted to
Feel free to win over. Yeah, for sure. Are you have you finished it yet? No, I'm just I just need into it more. I just wanted to. So, I feel like the game, yeah, for sure.
Are you have you finished it yet?
No, I'm just, I just need a few more million,
like a couple more million and then I can,
then I can go through with it.
I'm just trying to be, I'm trying to help my people out.
I don't want to.
Typical every man problem.
I just need a few more million, then I'll be gay.
If only I had more gold.
I need to swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.
That's one thing I really like about you go to your treasure room
and it's a big pile of gold.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Hey, look, it's Matt. Hey, what's up, Matt?
Hi, Matt. What's up, fools? Do you want a microphone? There's one right there.
I actually came to ask about drill bits.
Yeah, drill bit Taylor. That was a terrible movie.
They're in that little black container.
By Matt. How does it feel to be the Tim the tool man Taylor of the office?
Oh God. Like this is better until you made that comparison.
There's like 12 dudes in the office and they're constantly coming up to you going,
oh, Griffin, where's the drill?
Also, is it this button that I, you know it's funny?
We're not the most manly of dudes.
I had a weird moment the other day where I was like, well, you know, somebody can just
do, like, somebody can take care of this room.
Like somebody can just install this or drill this and I was like, well, boys can't use tools.
So like, I had a weird moment. I'm like, no, no, no, guys can't use tools.
I guess I'll have to be there for that.
Like it was just sort of funny, like it kind of just had,
like I mean, and it's not to say that that's true.
I mean, there are people here that can use tools.
I don't know that that's true at all.
No, no, not at all.
There's a few people that can be handy here.
Hey, Gus, I drove by your house on Sunday,
and I saw that you had done quite a bit of long work.
You had like 12 lawn bags in your front yard. Yes. How was that your fun weekend? Yeah, I had an awesome Sunday
putting up Christmas lights and
Raking and so was that all that was all leaves you were raking all leaves now
I have a lot of a lot of trees. I don't know
What did you I will always wait until the very it's lastly falls off the tree because what's the fucking point before then if you looked at my Trees is pretty much got there pretty much
I'll be surprised like I did that I made that mistake last year were in like mid November
I raked up every leaf maybe it's late November and then a week later it looked worse than ever
Well, even when your trees are gone like the neighbors
Yeah, that's what they blow into the yard. Yeah, so
You're a sucker. That was the point of that. I think yeah, the previous homeowner like last year when I raked
It was my first you know first autumn there
I think the previous homeowner probably hadn't raked in about five years based on
He leaves their war and how much crap was built up in in that yard. Oh
Hey speaking of yards and this doesn't really have much to do with yards at all. We got a blue chicken egg this morning
Blue chicken our first our first blue egg. That's not true.
Yeah, it is.
The other is green.
Oh, yeah.
I was trying to tell you, we got blue eggs.
So I wonder if he's laying the green eggs.
I'm telling you that play is laying the green eggs,
and I don't know who's laying the blue one,
but it looked like red-lighted,
which doesn't make any sense.
But supposedly chicken egg colors can change
based on their diet.
So maybe we fed them something that
caused them to lay the egg.
I don't know.
That's possible.
I give them some tortilla chips.
Maybe that was it.
Was it like the blue kind from the restaurant?
It's a blue corn tortilla.
Yeah, because that'll totally explain it.
It's like chips in queso and your chicken's
are like multi-colored eggs.
If I could get them a like spicy eggs,
I'd be the best.
You'd jalapeno eggs, it'd be awesome.
Like megas, you just crack it open,
and you just get there. Awesome. And like the shell was the corn chip.
That's what the like the geneticists we should be working on.
I'm sure how to just like have the animals just laid or cut the
animals open and they're already prepared. Yeah, fuck corn that
can grow in the moon. We need that fish, you know, we need
megas in the eggs. We need a we also eat chickens with no bones
Dude, that would be awesome too. Do you want to do you see a no-bone chicken flopping around that would be great?
It would not be great
Yeah, I mean like it a big way maybe not for the chicken
I know I keep getting a sending out hippie-ish because I talk about grass fed beef and all that
But and it's not that I'm like a crazy
Proponent of anything but after having chickens and they're so great and sweet,
and I really like them, every time I see anything about
like chickens being in these warehouses and having like no
liars or being stacked on top of each other.
And like, it's just the most pressing thing in the world.
Because what do they do ever do to us, really?
They lay eggs.
Dude.
They're sweet.
My wife almost tricked me into getting a dog this week.
That's not true.
You almost tricked me into getting like a 200 pound dog.
She almost tricked me into getting a 220 pound dog. That's not true. You almost tricked me into getting a 200 pound dog. She almost tricked me into getting a 220 pound dog.
I think both of you want this dog, but each of you opposes the other's dogs.
There's something's going on.
You've all seen very pro dogs.
If we got a dog, I would want a medium sized dog.
There's like an ordinary dog that's not going to be like...
How big?
Define medium.
Like how many pounds?
What is medium?
Like 60 maybe being the biggest?
No, that's a little large.
Or 45, 50 pounds.
Yeah, just like an average size,
something you could take places.
But Jeff only wants like the super giant,
and I really do like giant dogs because they're very sweet,
but they just have so many health problems
and they only live like six years.
Are you compensating for something, Jeff?
No, well, she just brought out like,
to her the detractor is that they only live six to eight years.
To me, that's the bonus. Like I only have to put up with a dog for six to eight years
They also they also drop giant deuces though
Can't do that shit outside. Yeah, and somebody else's joke
But we were talking about a game puppy and that's the whole thing and it's not here's the thing
I want a dog that's gonna be a deterrent from because I don't want our house to get broken into I've continued to be broken into every six months
So I want to get a dog that could kill like an army of thieves. Why don't we just get a body like a bouncer? You know most of the time
I list the dogs trained to be an attack dog. It's pretty ineffective at deterring burglars because
they can just give it food or give it a treat and lock it in the closet. That said, if you have a giant
giant dog, I mean people get nervous. This dog was a puppy.
It was a cross between a great dain and something called an Irish wolf hound, which looks like
a werewolf.
It was like, the dog standing up would have been seven feet tall.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
Wow.
Like, you see them if they jump up people and put the legs over your shoulders, they'll
be taller than most people.
They're huge.
Huge.
And I will say that we never got broken into when we have a St. Bernard.
And St. Bernard is very sweet.
They would not be a good watchdog at all.
But people would come up to the porch like people that were soliciting or asking for money
or whatever would knock on the door and then see Jupiter and jump off.
Like there were guys that just jumped off the porch.
They're like, no, no, I don't want money that badly.
Awesome.
Yeah, no.
So size really does help in that sense.
Do you hear that?
Guys size matters it's
official it kind of matters so uh speaking of dogs um Griffin and I Griffin and I Griffin made me
watch this fucking terrible talk commentary about dogs called dogs decoded oh I've seen that one
having it yeah but there was one really interesting part in it do you remember the part where they
went they talked about the people in Russia, the scientists in
Russia that for the last 60 years have been doing an experiment to domesticize foxes?
Domesticate.
Domesticate foxes, whatever.
It's actually domesticizes the Russian for obviously the whole world.
Domesticate foxes and they did, they were able to breathe the aggression out of the foxes.
That's knowing that you can do that and
that that's how dogs were domesticated. It makes me think of all the other things that you could
domesticate like you could domesticate grizzly bears. I never know about that. What was crazy to
me about that was how quickly change was affected in the animals. You know like three generations.
Yeah within three generations you could really see a difference and then by eight they were almost
entirely domesticated. Yeah that was it was fucking nuts. Michael was part of that.
What was talking about how dogs could be
sort of a parasitic species, you know?
Because they, I mean, wolves are dying out,
but dogs because they like them,
and they just, I have it pretty easy.
I mean, I know there's some dogs outside that are straits
or get put in shelters or whatever, but,
I mean, they've, dogs are flirting
because we like them and they can read our expressions.
That was, oh yeah, that was the cool thing, right read they looked to which I what is it your left eye?
They look at a person's left eye because it's a more true like a true person's
This side right eye your left eye right right
A person's right eye right
That's the left side. Okay, and and humans do that too humans and dogs are the only species to do that because it ships
a more sincere
Like representation of your emotion.
Right, and then they showed people's faces.
Like if your face was symmetrical with just your left side versus just your right side,
it really accentuated and showed how much emotions carried on that right side.
It was crazy.
Yeah, it's weird.
And I love those glasses they put on the dog to track it.
Yeah, yeah, it was like a clockwork orange.
Yeah, it was.
Put some dogs. So dogs like, read people's faces. Yeah, yeah, it was like a clockwork orange
Dogs like read people's faces and well, and they were also saying that dogs are able to be trained to do things
More than chimps could like that. They were very smart and that dogs understood the concept of when you point that stuff That you're you're directing them. Yeah, there was a dog in there
Now that I'm thinking about this there was a dog in there that knew they didn't do that. Now that I'm thinking about this, there was a dog in there that knew 300 words.
Yeah.
That was crazy.
It was the border collie.
It also knew abstract ideas.
Like you could show it a picture of something
and it would go grip, get the real world version of it.
I guess this was a pretty good documentary.
Maybe people should watch it.
It was good.
You liked it.
I was just mad at you,
because you made me watch it to be a top obtuse.
You made me watch something before the opposite.
Like Jeff has this thing.
He loves bad teen like drama. I just love bad movies. I just like that movie
So I'm interwatch American high the naked mile. Oh my god
I've never seen any the other one. I never saw the first if I look at a box cover
And I don't recognize a single person on the box cover. That's a movie. I want to watch
I bet Eugene levy was on that box. He was not and he was moving the movie and I don't know what his character was like in the first one
But he was creepy. It was he was in the movie. And I don't know what his character was like in the first one, but he was creepy.
It was you creepy in the first one.
It was kind of like a weird pedophile.
It was pretty good.
I felt bad for Eugene Lovey.
I only watched one and two.
I didn't see three and four and five and through nine.
I think there's like 20 of them now.
So I don't know what the character progression was for him.
He didn't start off that way in my memory.
The bar was not high.
Yeah.
You know, those American Prime movies or whatever, I got it.
But I got to say, we had an experience.
I don't know if you can remember this.
But the first time we watched American pie, we watched it in your house, in your place
in the propellant.
I remember.
With about 10 of our friends.
And I remember that being one of the funniest nights of my life.
We were all fucking drunk and watching a dumb comedy together.
That movie was way, and I watched it again, like a couple of weeks later,
I was like, I gotta watch the movie
because it was so funny, not as funny.
No.
Was that before you guys lived together?
Oh yeah, yeah.
This was back in 99 or so.
Before then.
Yeah, it was when the movie came out.
Real man's began.
Yeah, so it was just blossoming.
We were young, had the stars in our eyes.
Yeah.
Wow, the good old days.
Do you ever miss living with us?
I guess, or living with Jeff and...
Um, no.
No.
I miss living with you for the record.
I like my house.
Yeah.
I'm a nudist.
I don't know if you know that.
I like your house too.
And...
I didn't know you were in it.
Is that true?
Do you, I could walk around the naked, and make it a lot?
I would if I could, but my wife yells at me.
She makes me put clothes on. Why? She just doesn't see naked. No, she hates seeing me naked
One day one day she'll get used to it and we'll have sex and that they will be great
Yeah, we'll see
So do you think her vagina is asleep too, then oh he missed that part of the conversation?
Part of the conversation. Sorry. I was out. Yeah
So you wanted to go pretty short and I think we are I've been timing this podcast.
We've been going for about 36 minutes. I'm like a jury right dead on. Yeah. So let's wrap this up.
Do we have anything that we need a plug? Well, we have the new immersion that went up today. If you
haven't seen it, you should definitely watch it. It's I think I think it's even better than the first one.
And that's a lot for me to say it's considering
I'm not in it and I'm super into myself.
And then we have, there'll be a new Mega 64 Rooster Teeth collaboration tomorrow that I
think will be on their site that we'll link to.
I believe so.
And then Friday we have one more video with them and then that wraps up our week of Rooster
64 and our Mega Teeth.
I like Rooster 64.
You got to put our name first. That sounds like a Rooster 64 sounds like one of those cocaine clubs from the 70s
Like a New York City studio 54 is next to rooster 64
Megatheats kind of cool. That sounds like a monster track or something. Yeah, it sounds like a movie that could be on sale in a combo pack with
Technopussy and what was the other one 80 year old
30 year old vagina and 80-year-old woman?
Something like that.
Waiting for the title for that one.
I can't wait to hear that part of the podcast.
Yeah.
Anything else, Gus?
I will be at some point.
Yeah.
I added some new events to our events page,
which I'll link to events that we're going to next year,
2011.
Do you know what they are?
Stop your head.
I've stopped my head.
I know I added New York Comic Con I
Don't remember what else I had to be on that. I gotta say I'm excited to go to New York Comic Con. I hear good things about it
Hey, are you going to that one? I think I put it down for it. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I haven't decided who's going where yet
I think I'll just go to every event next year. It's fucking I say that now. I'm not gonna do that. You're living town this weekend
Aren't you? Uh, yeah, we talk about that right now. Let's hold off on that. Okay, yeah, Gus and I are going on our sound next weekend.
Because we may, yeah, we'll hold off on those.
Okay.
But, and then it should be it.
Oh, everyone should buy everything in our store.
Yes, everything.
We got these really cool new, I'm super excited about the flags from Halo 1, the red and the blue flag, which are iconic with Halo.
We got shirts made of those, and we got some new hoodies, We got a zombie plan hoodie and a griffball athletic club hoodie and
The Rt shorts season two DVD series two DVD, which is actually a really well put together DVD
You know, I watched it over the holiday and
I don't know it was really good like it was really enjoyable to watch it like I even the the shorts
I was in and everything was like, oh, this is really really interesting
You know what it is and this I want mean, it's a well put together DVD,
but it's really cool that like, usually, you know what,
like DVD crunch time is terrible for us.
We're all like living in the office
and working like 19 hour days and exhausted.
And that DVD just showed up on the desk one day.
Like I had nothing to do with it.
It was hell for someone in this office.
It was hell for somebody in this office,
but they contained that L upstairs or wherever. The DVD else. It didn't bleed into us. And so it was just like, someone in this office. It was ill for somebody in this office, but they contained that L upstairs or wherever.
The DVD else.
It didn't bleed into us.
And so it was just like, hey, check it out.
It was a new DVD and watch it.
You hadn't watched it 30 times.
Yeah, and it was checking it.
I thought the interviews were all really funny
and all the special features were good.
It was really good.
You and I, I think I haven't listened to the commentary yet.
But that commentary was weird, because that was the day
we found out our house got broken into.
And we came to the office to pick up some paperwork and then to take off to go start and rebuilding our lives.
And that's like, hey, before you go, you want to do some funny commentary?
Absolutely not. I don't want to do funny commentary, but I felt obliged.
And it was a nice little break in that. And I actually ended up being kind of cool,
because it forced us to forget about how miserable our lives were for like an hour.
It is nice coming to work,
because it is a distraction when things,
and your personal life are not going well.
And things are never going well in our personal life.
Except for you, you can't escape your spouse.
Yeah.
The,
Hey, you bring your personal life to office every day.
They,
Griven that we're talking about last night,
we're not actually technically married anymore.
Now we're just co-workers.
We basically have the same relationship that you and I used to have.
We just work together and also our roommates.
Your partners.
Pretty much.
I don't even know if I call partners.
But, uh,
And we're not even, yeah, even at home, like we don't hang out.
Like you'll play a game in one room and I'll play like Fable 3 in the other room and
it's very, very business-like.
Like, it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
It is.
But what are you gonna do?
All right, we'll have a practice. Okay. All right. Thanks for the time. Bye. very very business like developed it is but what are you gonna do?
okay okay
all right thanks for the talk
