It's time to put your pedal to the metal.
From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland,
an executive producers, Will Arnet and Anthony Mackie
comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal,
a high-octane action comedy based on the classic video game series.
Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motormouth outsider
who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnet, and Thomas Hayden Church.
Twisted metal, streaming now now only on peacock
Oh
I thought that was more it was about to bust that in some kind of an axle-fold.
It was a, I guess I should have judged it more than, uh, based on the first three or four seconds.
That was really only three or four seconds. It was the entire preview.
Your preview was the entire song you didn't realize it.
Yeah, thanks.
Mike 77.
You son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
What's up, bitches?
How long was the one that you turned down?
Because you were just playing what I then rejected it. It It was like two minutes long. Oh goodness. So that's
why I was scrambling to try to get a replacement for it. I was like, okay, this one's good.
Can you tell the audience then, guys, what is the proper amount of time for a drunk tank
theme song? I think 30 seconds is good. Griffin, what's the optimal length? For a... why are
you asking me? It's not my show. Okay. I think 30 seconds is good. It's a nice and to the point.
There you go.
Yes, I got it.
Thank you.
So yesterday we took some headshots for the company.
Yeah, we did.
And we took them in the brightest sunlight possible.
Yeah, we did.
Brandon could not figure out in his headshot
why he couldn't button his shirt, his button down shirt.
Oh, wow.
That's funny.
He had it on Inside Out.
This is for our Otaku teeth photo.
That's awesome.
That'll be one for the LinkedIn.
Yeah, make me just send it out.
Man, speaking of Brandon, he came in yesterday very,
very, I would say agitated to correct some of our inaccuracies
regarding Star Trek in the last podcast.
And for the first time ever, I understood why I got punched in high school.
For the first time, it was like suddenly a dawn.
It was like a dawn, I mean, I was like, I'm the guy that has to regulate here.
Like, I'm gonna have to take care of this.
He's just going on and on about Star Trek and inaccuracies.
In high school, you were like, technically Vato, that's not OWL.
You know, actually getting back to the headshots, the worst part is that not only that they
make it have his face like the sun and then try to take a picture, they made us feel bad
about it afterwards.
They're like, well, it took us 20 minutes to photoshop out those wrinkles.
Yeah, they're like, you know, we've been working on this, but you had a lot of wrinkles in
your face.
I was squinting Jesus.
Also, it was like a surprise headshot day.
No, they didn't. No, they didn't. They didn't have to. They had shots were announced. Yeah, I was squinting Jesus. Also, it was like a surprise headshot day. No, no, no, they didn't mention it.
No, no, they didn't mention it.
That the headshots were announced.
Yeah, that was not aware.
Well, you should read your email occasionally.
I don't.
You can't make me.
Yeah, the other day, it was a cool for email.
Just came up to me and was like, hey,
have you sent me the shipping info for that convention?
We're going to, I was like, yeah, I sent it two weeks ago.
He's like, oh, I'm gonna say,
could you look at the hotels I sent you also?
He's like, oh, I didn't get that email.
I was like, I send it on the 14th. I see it right here.
He's like, oh, yeah, I do have it.
Yeah, look, man, I get a lot of email.
Oh, okay, so now who's popular?
The things have only got no.
It's not.
It's just, we got to achieve 100.
It receives a lot of email.
So it's hard to keep up, man.
It's really hard to keep up.
You don't understand.
I notice you're not saying you actually process any of that email
at all.
You're just saying you get a lot, and it's hard to keep up.
It's all the same. I sat at home last night until midnight and I went through about 150 horse emails
Let's take time because you got download the maps and check them out. It's a lot of work
It sounds like a rough life. No, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that's why I some some emails get
Faulted the cracks. Just thinking that somebody just a bunch from Gus. Yeah, just mine apparently.
All the horse ones get processed, because horse comes out.
Just fine.
About 2,000 behind on horse.
I will admit sometimes when somebody sends out an email
and I see that Matt has already replied to it,
I don't read either.
I figure if Matt's replied to it, that's good enough.
It's a file it.
It goes to a folder called Biz.
Biz goes right in there.
That's all there is to it.
Do you think if you use the entire word business,
you would take it more seriously?
No, I don't think so.
I'm fast mover, I'm like Jeff,
I got so many targeted buttons.
It's better than business.
Business.
This looks like the less serious emails.
There's so much business going on.
Yes, how much email do you think you receive in a day?
Pieces, individual pieces of email.
Individual pieces of mail, including spam or non-spam.
Just let's say something that you expect to read
and then respond to.
I'm gonna go in the, I'm gonna say about 200 to 250.
But that's mostly fails of the week submissions,
horse submissions and tip line, males.
You cut that out and that's more like 75.
Yeah, I think I'm sitting at the 80 mark horse emissions and tip line males. You cut that out and it's more like 75.
Yeah, I think I'm sitting at the 80 mark
with the process and replied to about 80 emails.
And I've always wondered like,
a guy working at a company 50 years ago,
he had a phone on his desk and that was it.
He had a tray,
it wouldn't tray with an inbox on it.
Some dude came by with a cart and put stuff in the inbox,
physical like male inbox on his desk. How many people do you think that guy talk to
in a day or interact with in a day
god i don't know if it was five would that be like a crazy day yeah i bet that you
probably got a lot more phone calls back then and that was i mean being on the phone
is way more irritating secretary and that guy right had that guy had a secretary who did
stuff for and and they had a they had like a secretary
Pool where they cranked out all the letters and all the correspondence
There would be like 40 women in a room with typewriters. Yeah, I managed I managed to only send 27 emails yesterday
I feel like that's an accomplishment. I get for you. That means 112 people went unanswered
But none of those were Jeff
Yeah, that's true. Hey speaking of 50 years years ago, I was on Xbox Live last night,
and I was looking, there was just like,
it was just on in the background
while I was different and I were doing something,
and I noticed that there was an ad for some new car.
I think it was a Chevy Cruiser,
but it was CRUZER.
It's Cruiser.
The Cruiser.
The Cruiser.
I got to think in like, that's totally normal to me
that they took a name and spelled it wrong intentionally to be hip
But like you think like even 25 years ago if Chevy would have come out with a car that was misspelled for effect
They would have been laughed out of the off the planet, right? I'm trying to get got to be one there
I would think so too, but I can't come up with one
I know I'm trying to think the first one like that
I know the Aztec had the K instead of a C
Pony act and that was put like 10 or 11 years ago. But that really got me thinking last night, like, I don't know, like my first car was a
Ford Escort pickup truck and then I had a Buick Century, you know, my parents had a sunbird,
but I can't think of like a kind of like wacky spelling. I could argue that the GTO is into spelling of God. You could have heard what that's like.
They even called that car the goat, actually.
They were like, you know what I'm saying?
They were nickname for the GTO.
I can't think of one.
I can't even think of like, I mean, there's one thing
that's made up like the Edsel was not named after anything, right?
You had stuff like a Nova, but that, I mean,
that's about as wacky as it got, right?
There was the Volkswagen thing that was spelled correctly.
Yeah, but those are the words.
Well, Nova isn't spelled, you know, it was a word yeah, no, I know I know I know it's a word
But it's a little out there. It's what I'm saying. Yeah, like a human. Yeah, yeah
Corolla. Yeah, that's a meaning at all
Shavit
Shavit
Camry this makes any sense. Yeah, yeah, like must have not misspelled
Well, how would you know like what the fuck is camera? I mean, if it's I mean, we make up the word you get to you're allowed to spell it however you want
Yeah, I had my when my kid was five he asked me
He was learning to read and he was asking me just coming up with letter combinations
Like he said what is J.U.P. Spell and I said this doesn't spell anything
He's what he was how does that not spell anything because he'd go to like already what is that spell?
You know and like a or E what does that not spell anything? Because he'd go to the RED or Z spell.
And ORE, what does that spell?
And I'd give him the words.
And he said, like, JUP, what is that?
And I said, that's not anything, that's not a word.
He goes, it has to be.
I said, why does it have to be a word?
He goes, well, why would they make four letter words
if they hadn't used a ball of the three letter words?
I think about that all the time.
Yeah.
That's a really good question.
Why did we move on to four letter words
if we hadn't used a ball of the combinations?
Absolutely.
What a highly inefficient language we have
Gus. Horrible. Well it just wasn't ever I mean it started off like spoken and
then you know letter scheme later. Still do you think there would have been some
guy at some point that would have been like hey guys we don't need four syllables
we got nobody's used jupe yet come on. Yeah it would be a lot easier on everybody.
Better than German where they just like clump words together and if they need a new
word they just add on more at the end. Yeah, I
mean, I'm going to super long compound words. Yeah, they're like, why do we call this shouting
for though when we could call it jup. Save everybody. Yeah, exactly. Save everybody.
It would be hand cramps when they're fucking writing out letters and long forms. It would be
yupa actually. There you go. Two things that language came from spoken language.
So, what I mean, I think originally, right? Like, I mean, I don't know. I'm sure, like, Actually, there you go. She's saying that language came from spoken language. So what?
I mean, I think originally, right?
Like, I don't know.
I'm sure when you're developing language,
you're trying to talk to vocalize it.
And then later, after it's mature, then you start writing it.
Gus, let's be honest, nobody in this room is going to develop a language.
We're all at the same point.
The indefinite pronoun you, not you specifically.
What is, you imagine we had a language that was made up like created by
By like recently created people are always doing stupid stuff like yeah, but what was the language?
Was it was it Sanskrit created like that?
Was it Sanskrit is really really old. I think it was jupinies
There's some kind of like modern language that was like created combining like Latin roots with some you were telling I swear We're having this conversation the other day. I think Matt was saying that yeah, okay. Well, there was like there's always something like that where people are
Bronto bright idea. Yeah, that's it that they're gonna change something fundamental in everyone else's life
Do you remember when swatch came up with the? Yeah, it was then they call it internet time.
No, it wasn't internet time beats.
That's what yeah, yeah, yeah, and stupid.
There was like 10 beats in a mega beat and 10 mega beats in a day.
Something like that.
You know, we make fun of them now, but had that worked,
we'd all be wearing swatches right now.
That's true.
We all adopted new time.
This podcast would be 26 beats long and everybody would know it.
That'd be funny as an experiment just to get like your group friends to like follow the new time.
See how easy this to adapt if you have your friends behind you. Yeah, with this group it'd be
everybody's five beats late. Everywhere they go. Has the group ever shown up anywhere on time at the same
time? You're a hectic beat like with hell are you? You're a hectic.
Do you even care anymore?
A lot of times, Gus is probably the worst offender of this.
At what point is Gus late or Gus has just stood
as if he's not coming?
Yeah.
What does it matter?
How does that process work in your head?
When you were all getting together somewhere
and you know you're not going to go, Gus.
It's I don't say anything to avoid the bitching.
It's easier to deal with the post post-missed event bitching than the pre I'm not going to the event
Yeah, so still because there's still a chance they might try to encourage you to go
Yeah, if you get the pre-bitching you're also gonna get the post-bitching
That's a good point. If you lie then you just get the post-bitch. You know what I've done to counteract that I double bitch up later
You know what I got to say out of anybody. know, you probably spend more time concentrating on how to
eliminate annoyances to you than anyone else.
You put a lot of thought into everything you do.
I don't know, I don't know.
I do try to minimize annoyances,
but I don't think it's like a big part of my life
or anything.
I do.
Yeah.
That's all about going home and playing while.
You don't have like social anxiety,
you have like social psychopathy.
You actively want to destroy social interactions with other people.
When Gus and I used to live together, it was the worst because he and I both, when speaking
of social anxiety, we both hate to do stuff like answer the door or call people.
Yeah, or call or talk on the phone at any point.
And so it would be like, it would be a fight over who is going to order pizza.
And thank God the internet helped that out. And then it was a fight who would answer the front door.
And sometimes one of us would run into the hallway
and just stand there and the other person would ask,
oh, yeah, that's it, you do now.
I have to have a few questions every time.
No, because I eventually would like to have my pizza.
Yeah, just, just do a way game.
He'll do it in the store, like he will not ask
where something is in the store.
Like, we get a home depot and we need to find something.
He would rather wander on for an hour looking for it,
than ask somebody.
I want to make the effort to look for it before I ask.
I do something better than that.
If Griffin is finally like, I'm going to ask.
I'm just going to go ask the guy.
I'll go, OK, and then I'll just walk away from her
and go to a different aisle.
Yeah, and then I find the fucking thing,
and then I got to go find Jeff because he's hiding.
That's really funny.
I do the same thing.
Did you just motion from Determine Down?
You sounded a little hot, sorry. No, no problem.
No. I just turned on your hotness. You're too hot for the mic.
Yeah, no, I do the same thing. A big part of my life that I think I miss out on
is that I never sell anything. I buy things a lot, but I don't sell the things on the back end
because I don't want to deal with selling
to somebody like the Craigslist is a nightmare to me.
Like even putting something out on the curb and saying, hey, I've got this thing available,
come get it.
I just know that person is going to be a part of my life for far too long.
I totally understand.
That's why I don't know if you've noticed, but I have a receiver and a laptop under my
desk that I've been meaning to put on Craigslist for like a month and a half, but I just can't
bring myself to do it because I don't wanna deal with the person
that's gonna buy it.
Yep.
If anybody wants to buy a Gus' receiver or laptop
and not make eye contact with them
while you're doing it, just email sales at roosterie.com.
Hell set up a meeting which you won't show up to.
I'll tell you I'll be there.
I think graphic and bitch, but I later.
See it's perfect, everyone has a role.
Everyone has something to do. It makes it validates everyone's existence later.. See, it's perfect. Everyone has a role.
Everyone has something to do.
It makes it validates everyone's existence here.
Yeah, but there's a lot of stuff like that.
I mean, where I just don't want to deal with the situation,
so it's a perfectly normal part of life,
and I'm just like, oh, I just don't want to go through that social interaction
to deal with it.
And so I miss out on it.
And returning things and everything, too, I just don't want to go through the trouble of like
shipping something back.
I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon. Almost everything buy now I buy from Amazon because I have that free
shipping service. And so the idea, like we got a my kid, he asked for a chocolate fountain for Christmas.
It was the number one thing on his Christmas. He talked about it for six months.
We're talking about chocolate fountain in the first place. He saw it in a,
he saw it. I think in an iPhone game or an iPad.
Oh, really?
Yeah, and it was like, in one of those,
like, were you run the diner?
In one of the items you could buy to decorate
with a chocolate fountain, and he's like,
that is amazing.
I said, you know, those really exist.
And it's immediately one of those things
you wish you could take back.
Yeah.
Because he was like, I'm gonna ask for Santa.
He's five.
And he's like, I got you a chocolate fountain.
So we got the chocolate fountain,
and it was broken out of the box.
Oh, no.
He's not one present.
Take him to visit the one at Whole Foods.
Is there one there?
Yeah, they have like a whole chocolate area,
and they have the chocolate fountain,
and you can ask for things to be dipped.
They'll dip it right there in front of you.
I think he wants to just like stay just and do.
Yeah, yeah.
I think that chocolate's super hot, by the way.
What's melting?
It is, I don't think it's super super hot
But I don't even want your kid sticking his thing chocolate has a low melting point
It's probably you own right around a hundred degrees. I bet no no no
I would imagine that if I'm at Whole Foods, yeah, I don't want my kids sticking this in their chocolate fountain
I'd be buying four pounds of chocolate. They probably don't want that either. You should you take him to the
To the Bellagio to that great place that has that giant chocolate
Yeah, I take a five year old there. Yeah, in Vegas, they have the it's like the world's biggest chocolate found or something around. Yeah, but I mean,
how many are there? I know you're talking about though, it starts like 30
feet up and it's like bowls with funnels, you know, like the spout on the
bowl. Yeah, and these little channels and it runs run through and there's like
three different kinds of chocolate that run through this thing. It's pretty
crazy crossing through the I can I can see Griffin booking the fucking flight And these little channels and it runs through. And there's like three different kinds of chocolate that run through this thing. It's pretty crazy.
It's crossing through the,
I can see Griffin booking the fucking flight right now
in her head.
I don't know, I jumped in.
Is that her first swear word for the day?
What's the word?
We were running so clean.
I don't know, well.
Leave it to Jeff to ruin it.
I actually get messages from kids.
There's that one kid on the site who counts all of your
swear words, and he makes the pie chart.
He sent me a list of swear words I don't say enough the other day. Yeah. He was like, hey, you know, there's that one kid on the site who counts all of your swear words. And he makes the pie chart. He sent me a list of swear words.
I don't say enough the other day.
Yeah.
He was like, I used to mention some of these because you're deficient on these.
What were your deficient swear words?
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
I developed a stammering problem.
Yeah.
Whatever they were, they were in my normal repertoire.
So anybody watched the championship games from this weekend from the NFL?
No. I missed, I missed them both. I was on the road. Well for those of you who care about such a thing the
Super Bowl looks like it's going to be the Steelers versus the Packers. I did read a report saying this could be the most the largest money making Super Bowl all time.
I would imagine honestly that the NFL was crying a little bit over the fact that they didn't have a New York versus Chicago
Super Bowl because those are the two teams that lost. And, you know, those are two pretty big markets.
Yeah.
I mean, just if you have some interest in those or people that live around those areas,
I mean, that could be a huge one.
Isn't every Super Bowl the biggest money making Super Bowl ever?
Like, I would think it would just grow.
There's like Super Bowl set decline.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
They made a point of saying that like because of those two teams
this will be like the biggest Super Bowl of all time and there's gonna be record profits to be made.
But what what your saying does make sense? Yeah, it seems like it would always grow with inflation and everything else.
Yeah, for those of you who are not familiar with those two teams, they are located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and
Green Bay, Wisconsin. Yeah, not exactly to the biggest markets. I understand they have a lot of history in the NFL,
but do you know of enough about international sports
like soccer to say like what would be the...
Do you know anyone who's ever been to Green Bay?
No, I think it's just Milwaukee, is it?
Yeah.
It's like New England Patriots, it's Boston's football.
Yeah, but they call it new.
Yeah, but the site lives in Wisconsin.
Yeah, but Green Bay is a city.
Yeah, it is. Kinda like the way round rock is a city. I don't know, Boston., but green Bay is a city. Yeah, it is.
Kind of like the way round rock is a city.
I don't know.
It's a suburb of Austin.
I don't know.
I think green Bay, I don't think it's attached to Milwaukee.
Or like New England is a city, but it's really Boston.
Yeah.
I'm looking it up now.
By the way, yeah, I feel like I know enough about about international sports.
Like a big game would be like, Manu 9-ed versus Acy Milan. That's not about
like us. But aren't those like, aren't those huge teams now? I mean, that would be like,
there would be the equivalent today of like Patriots versus Saints. Yeah, you know, two
big teams now. They mean these are classically popular teams. I mean, they were big in the
70s, you know. Green Bay is 114 miles away from Milwaukee. I'll tell you who wouldn't be
on that list, the Tottenham Spurs, Gavin's favorite team.
What time would I be in?
When you make fun of this team?
I was in the UK and it was the day, it was the night that Arsenal played Manchester United.
Sure.
It was a very fun night at the bar.
A big game.
Yeah.
You know, people in the UK fight a lot.
I didn't know that.
The UK is actually the only place in the world where I have stepped over a pool of blood outside of a pub.
It's the origin of the hooligans, right? I mean, the UK, that's like their claim to, their claim to soccer, soccer violence.
You know, Griffin and I were in London last year during the World Cup finals.
And we actually thought, let's go to a bar and watch the game.
We couldn't even get inside like...
The game, I'm gonna say the game started at like three or four in the afternoon and we
were walking around at 9 a.m. and all the bars had signs up.
Sorry, no vacancies.
Everything's booked up.
Can't walk in the bar.
You couldn't walk into a bar at 9 a.m. that day.
People just went and camped out for like 10, 12 hours.
And they had people that would go and just like just a little pub like we were in the
night before and I'd be like so you got to expect a lot of people for the game tomorrow game tomorrow and they'd be like oh yeah, we're booked up and like what does that mean?
They're like people reserve tables have to put like
200 quid down to reserve a table or whatever and
And they've been at months and months and months in advance and so we watched the game in the hotel because there's nowhere else in England to watch it
Yeah, when England got eliminated almost immediately those people who put all that money down a reserve of tail must have been really pissed off
Well, there's no there's no English people in London, so it was all people cheering for other people. Yeah
What do you mean by that?
Is it all just a bunch of people from other countries? Yeah, pretty much it's like a like any other major city or a
Disabilities there's lots and lots of people from all over what is the most diverse city you've ever been in?
London's pretty diverse. Oh,
Gosh, I don't know last time I was in Toronto. I was really surprised by how diverse that city is really yeah, really really surprised
I think London appears for me. Yeah, I mean I thought Canadian Canadian that was all you know
French people and other kinds of white people essentially. I'll tell you a city that's not very diverse, that's Austin.
Yeah, I'll agree with that.
I'll agree with that.
Well, I mean, we're not, we're about half white, half Hispanic though.
So, I mean, in terms of like...
You think it's that much Hispanic?
I think San Antonio's more like that.
What do you think the breakdown in San Antonio is?
San Antonio's probably 64, yeah.
60% Hispanic?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about an hour south of us
So yeah, I mean, but I mean you could say it's not diverse, but it's not homogeneous either, you know, no, but it's like
50 50 and then Monty essentially
I have a new dog. I saw that link and sleepy sitting here sleeping
He had surgery the other day. So he's here at the office recuperating with with me. Poor guy. We also have another dog. You and I like to make
the same mistake around the same time. Yes. Yeah. Well, the dog wasn't my choice
but the dog turned out good. I wasn't my choice either. We've been so envious
so the fact that he's not peeing on the carpet right now. Oh yeah. He's just
laying there. He's an older I got an older dog that you guys have brand new
puppy. Yeah. You people are maniac. She's already half that size.
No, really?
She is about 26 or 27 pounds.
Yeah, I think she is a leathery dog.
Mm-hmm.
That's a huge dog.
Yeah, she's going to be about 160.
They say, crazy.
Yeah, they being the scientists.
Scientists.
Your dog already made a, your dog Bernie
already made an escape from the office once.
He did. That was kind of creepy
We actually had to use our our cameras. We have security cameras all over the place
We had like track and see which way he went and it was really weird because he went to the this this place next door where they sell
Place things to put your marijuana in
None of the business was described and microscopes to look at your marijuana. Yeah
And I even made the joke they said I said what you'll do here? They said we make jars and other to look at your marijuana. Yeah. That's how it was described.
And I even made the joke. They said, I said, what do you do here? They said, we make jars
and other things to put your marijuana in. And I made a joke, oh, you mean like you make
jars and things and people can just happen to put marijuana? It's just, no, they're
for marijuana. Do they have a storefront? What? No, no, it's just a internet sales. They
were featured in weeds or something like that. Yeah, they did some set decoration in the series weeds.
I guess that was their breakout moment.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
People who like drugs watch weeds.
They also did on 7th Heaven, which is weird.
Really weird endorsement.
Yeah, so they had him and they took care of him.
He's a very happy dog and very happy to see other people.
Was he wearing like a rostob array when he came back?
No, he was fine.
No, he could even walk a straight line.
Everything was good.
We've said that we notice about our dog.
She does not like to take walks, which is the first time I've ever had a dog like that.
So we have to pick her up and carry her down to the end of the road and set her down and
then she'll run back to the house because she does not like you.
Why do you force her to take walks if she doesn't want to them?
Because she's the stories of the house if she doesn't get the energy out, but she won't walk anywhere. I figured out a solution last night
I pick her up and I walk her down the block take a ride to the next block
And then if I spin in a circle five times and I set her down
She doesn't know where the fuck she is and so she's just following that's the only way I can get that off
What you should do is like what Griffin said is you should take her to like the end of the block
But take her in a wagon then when you get to the end of the block
You just sit in the wagon and put the leash in a wagon. Then when you get to the end of the block, you just
sit in the wagon and put the leash on her and let her pull you back to the
house. It's like extra workout and you get a free ride. I saw some I saw some
dude going through our neighborhood the other day. He was on a skateboard and
he had like kind of a big dog leashed and the dog was running and the dude was
like getting pulled while on the skateboard and he was going down the street
screaming. was like getting pulled while on the skateboard and he was going down the street screaming, woo! I thought like the top of his lungs.
I don't know, he was awesome.
That is awesome.
How you seeing a guy in town that has the cat
that rides on his shoulders while he bikes around?
Like he's a bicycle and he has this cat that just like
purchased, oh his cat's name Lucky, I think.
Yeah, I've seen that.
And he like he just runs around town
and the cat just hangs out on his shoulders.
It's awesome.
You know what this is you were just thinking about?
That is, first of all, it's so stupid.
The guy does that.
But I know he picks up girls with that.
I know that works.
I know how dumb that is, but I know he picks up girls form.
I talk to him.
I tell you, my dog is such a chick magnet.
It's all it takes is a cute animal.
I was told Joel that.
He really seriously, the other day you were doing
you were working and I went out to like coffee with him.
Yeah, and he said to me, it texts like, oh my god, there's so many girls talking to me,
this dog is so nice.
It was like nine and a half weeks ago.
Just to talk to the dog, it was great.
Awesome.
How do you work yourself into that?
You get like a five year old, like a cute little blonde five year old kid and then like
a cute puppy and that's it.
It's like, because the more attached you are, like the more it goes into it.
It's like taking a ticket on the vagina.
You say that like you're so surprised to hear that, right? What are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what benefit from our animals. I'm just thinking the dog won't walk. Just raise it off. She
just had surgery or something. There you go. I wonder if you went to take your dog for
a walk and you brought Jack with you, which would make it less distant. But if you jack
or the dog, which one would you be dragged, which had to pick jack up and
spin him in the circle?
Oh, yeah.
I hope not.
That would be hard.
We have pedometers now that jack and I have these little contests.
Yeah, well, yeah, you have one too.
They're called Fitbits and we like them a lot.
1486 so far today.
I have 1578.
I have 1578 steps.
So how did you know how they worked with an accelerometer and measure like every time they they go down and
Does it count that as a step? Okay, Bernie. Yeah, I just say you're I thought it was magic. I'm gonna go to your
Explanation. I just don't understand how they count steps. I know I can't fake it like if I pick it up and like
Shake it. It doesn't make sure step. What if you shake your hips?
They're so shaking Shake it it doesn't yeah, what if you shake your hips?
You don't you get none of them you want to try out you wearing yours. I'm wearing mine I'll get a little bit of dance here. Let's see. I'm a 1584 now. I said that so I must have triggered something
Because I just triggered six steps somehow while I was talking with it
I did three hip thrusts and got one step.
So when we have sex, it's like the average time of step.
It's like an average night of sex.
It's like I took four steps.
Yeah, I picked up 10 steps.
It actually takes more energy to show me.
So that's what y'all should do.
I guess it's just activity.
There you go.
But the cool thing I like about it is it will also log when you sleep.
And so you can see like how well you're sleeping.
Yeah, I don't know how to do that part.
You have to show that to me.
What do you mean?
There's one button, just hold the button.
That's all you ever do.
I just hold the button.
Yep.
And it says start.
How long do I hold it?
It says start.
What do you mean it logs how you sleep?
Like it logs how you taught how much you toss and turn in your sleep?
Yep.
And you can see a graph of your sleep and see like your rhythms of when you wake up.
Okay. I didn't care at all about this product till right now.
It's awesome. Now I want to see like I want to see that graph and see how well I sleep.
You can see how well you sleep.
This is also keep track of your like consumption like your calories or whatever.
Well, if you if you have to enter it in on the laptop,
Oh, I see. But they make it pretty easy for you. Yeah.
Like you find out pretty quickly like you have to enter in the food.
Well, they have like a pre sorted list of of foods and then if your stuff's not on it
You can add it in and then you realize pretty quickly that you only eat like 14 things you only eat 14 things
Yeah, it's true
You also realize that anything you eat in a restaurant has about 45 times the amount of your daily intake of sodium that you're required to have
So this is like the story of everything these days like anything you eat has like a billion times the amount of sodium that you're required to have. So this is like the story of everything these days. Like anything you eat has like a billion times the amount
of sodium.
I don't know why that is.
Because it tastes better than not having sodium.
It's either sodium and or sugar, it seems like.
Yeah.
The other day, I was flying back from DC.
I stopped at a layover at the Chicago airport.
And I had, I ate at McDonald's there for the first,
I came out of the last time I ate at McDonald's, and I had a big Mac. And I felt like I was eating fake food. Like I ate it. I got on the plane and I had I had it in McDonald's there for the first I came under the last time I ate it McDonald's and I had a big Mac and I felt like I was eating
fake food like I ate it I got on the plane and I was like I'm still hungry I
feel like I didn't eat anything then when I landed back in Austin I had to
eat something also did you did it feel like you swallowed a brick like it like
you chew it up and it separates as it goes down your stomach and then it
re-conceals into like this giant mass. No, I didn't experience that.
Thank God.
That's what I feel like.
I don't have my computer for me, but you should look it up.
Did you guys read the statistic where Taco Bell is being shown?
Oh, yeah.
Because their ground beef only contains 36% beef.
Yeah, and it doesn't eat the...
What else is it?
Yes, it does.
That's a stenders.
One of which is sand.
So I'm kind of silica that essentially just means sand. It's like I there's like a garlic substitute and I don't know what else
Okay, it is it's
Beef water isolated oat product salt chili pepper onion powder tomato powder oats
soy
Lysithin yeah sugar spices malodextrin
Soybean oil garlic. I mean it's a long list now. What is malodextrin, soybean oil, garlic powder, I mean it's a long list now.
What is malodextrin? I see that all the time.
It's a polysaccharide.
Oh, thank you.
That is absorbed as glucose.
Are you a super villain?
No, I'm reading what it says, right?
Oh, it's one of me.
You think I knew that off the top of my head?
I did. I know I do what the fuck that is.
I do think you know that.
Yeah, so it's only 36% beef. But it's delicious. Yeah, let's be honest. I know what I'm having for dinner
for lunch. I
Yeah, so we so we log these but Jack ends up with the goal is to try to get 10,000 steps a day
I mean, that's just right
It basically the only way that anything works for us in this office is if we try to turn it into some kind of game with a score
Yeah, and so try to hit 10,000 steps in a day. And then we can all rank against each other.
Kerry has one, Matt has one, Jack has one,
Jeff one, has one, and I have one.
Sounds like Gus is about that one.
Yeah, and sounds like Gus is about to get one.
I think Jack, it's about an average about 1900 steps a day.
I think if Jack wanted to, he could go 24 hours
without taking 100 steps.
That's actually what Brandon said.
Brandon said he wants to get one to see how few steps he can get.
Do like that portal achievement.
Yes, totally like that.
I had that achievement.
Okay, last thing I would say about this Taco Bell thing.
The USDA says any food labeled as meat taco filling should have at least 40% fresh meat.
Fucking really?
No, they want to press.
So, Taco Bell, even though it's only, thank you Lincoln.
So even though Taco Bell has only 36% beef,
it's barely missing the USDA guideline
to be qualified as a meat taco filling.
I wonder how much money it's going to cost
and to bump it up that 4%.
We think about it's another 11% beef on top of what they already
have.
That's true.
4%.
No, 4% right?
4%.
Well, but yeah, 4% of 36 is 11.
4% of 36.
What?
No, you said it has to be 40% and they're at 36%.
Okay.
Okay, that's three 40.
I assume another 4% of overall total volume.
Yeah.
I'm talking another 11% of volume of beef.
Oh, I see the same.
What?
You are a super volume.
You should stop that.
How about you, you say, oh, I see what you're saying.
It's not true.
Is that true?
It's another 4% of the 36.
That's 9.
It's 1 9th, which is 11%.
Okay.
Is it true?
Yeah, 1 9th is 11%.
Really?
Because 11 times 9 is 99.
I need to be like 11.111.
Yes, you need like taxes.
They need 11% more beef than what they really have.
So they have 36 grams out of 100 grams of beef,
and they need 40 grams of beef. They need 4 more grams of 36 grams and that's 11 percent. Yeah, that's right. Yeah
Holy cow
By the way, this is how chicks get in
See I see that's why I have to have a dog to mask the
the beef counting
Beef counting
My dog is distracting. He'll be knowing. Licking himself, which is good. Yes, it's kind of awful breath.
I don't know if he noticed when he walked by early. Licking himself the the talk about discussion
also made me think about this. Did you hear that he has a flat shell in
Sparrow? That is a problem. He does have toots dog toots. Gross. Yeah, it's gross at a
Cornell. I guess a group of researchers are working on making a 3D printer that prints food.
What?
Yeah, I guess they have it working in a very rudimentary fashion right now and they're working on expanding it.
It makes turkey, you got said.
Turkey and chocolate. Like right now, it's not turkey. It's...
It's murky. I don't know what you call that. It's fake turkey, forky.
And you know, BISBISON is not not gonna have the fucking refills for that print.
So when you, do you just take like turkey paste and like plug it in and it just squirts
it out and then like a fashion artist it like actually, you said it had like, okay,
when you say like that, it sounds awesome.
I mean, does it take that?
Like, already, does it take the substance that's already there and put it into a form or this is here's what it describes it it
prints domes of turkey on a cutting board domes so if you're if you're like
if you get a toner low sign and you're out of cyan does your turkey come out
like blue yeah like it comes off color we need more photo magenta in the turkey fritter.
Yeah, I'm out of turkey magenta.
You know, this is a reminder of the conversation
we had the other day though.
Tomorrow we have showing up here
a like a glass fridge that dedicated for just drinks.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, well we're a software production company.
Right, you gotta have one of those.
Yeah, you have to have one of those.
We gotta have someplace for our blue sky sodas, right?
Talking rain.
Talking rain.
And so that's showing up tomorrow.
And then now then the discussion came of how are we gonna stock this thing?
Because nobody wants to be the person who goes to Costco to pick up all the stuff.
Right.
And then what are we gonna put in it?
And people were upset with me because I categorically refused to buy bottled water.
I just, I think bottled water is one of the stupidest things on the planet. It's a sham. It's a total sham, right?
Yeah, drink your fucking tap water.
Here does let her do we use Jeff Jeff is in every day every man, right? I am every man. Okay. What is something that you enjoy drinking? Anything bottled water? No, no,
okay.
Okay.
Jack Daniels Jack Daniels. Okay, let me tell you this.
Okay, Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels.
Okay, let me tell you this.
Let's say I have a thing that I can stall in your house and it goes in your sink.
It'll be next to your sink.
Okay.
And it'll be a tap that when you use it, it comes out as Jack Daniels.
And it's right there.
You never have to go anywhere and get Jack Daniels.
And it's better quality Jack Daniels than what you get in the store.
And it could be there at your sink whenever you want Jack Daniels.
But does it taste as good as Jack Daniels from the bottle? It'd be better quality. Yes, but does it taste is good
See here's taste is good. Oh come on
Would you would you pay for that tap in your house?
Do I have a Jack Daniels tap?
Let's even bring down which not assuming I could tell you something $8 a month
What about a loan start tap like would pay that would you pay for five dollars for the loan start tap we never have
to fill it up
it automatically has loan started all points in time and it the loan start comes
out at like
eight cents a gallon yes i would
right yes and people have that in their house now with water and they still go
out by water well according to my wife all the water in austin tastes like blue
algae not all the time but but there are seasons in Austin where the algae gets out of control
and you can taste it in the water.
Yes.
I couldn't even wash my face with that.
They do have algae blooms occasionally in the water in Austin tap water.
When I left it, oh, and Gess and Jeff were living together when I first moved in with
Jeff.
They couldn't taste it or smell it.
I couldn't even take a shower.
Like it was so gross.
I was just trying to deny it to make you think you were being crazy.
I was that right. I thought maybe you would think you were imagining it if I if I didn't acknowledge see
I'm talking about super little and then maybe you would go away
And just to go back to their bliss lives
Yeah, pardon from the pizza man in the hall. Hey, remember that crazy girl tasty analogy
So here's where I'm taking away from this conversation.
Three months of your Griffin doesn't shower.
Like getting it right?
Yeah, at least.
Okay.
Unless you're showering a champion.
She still puts her six months ahead of math.
I started way less than I imagine.
I was definitely picked it up.
She used to shower and she used to go jump in the river.
I couldn't afford a shower curtain or soap.
Or against all the illegal ability. I really had afford a shower curtain or soap. Or against all other people.
No, I really had no money.
I really had no money.
Did you just brush your teeth with baking?
So you found soap in the river?
Is what you're talking about?
No, I just didn't worry about it.
Because the river, I was so attracted to her.
The river smells worse than BO, right?
She was not so breath of air.
I will say I will agree with you on this Bernie um it's not good to have to drink water out of plastic or anything in a plastic
It's mostly gives you cancer. Would you jump in the river naked? No, you shower like some kind of animal in the way
You see you'd bathe in the swimming suit? No, you would just walk around your house naked
I would definitely it was summer and it was send market. She lived like... She walked around other people's house.
Oh, that's right, I'm sorry.
No, I've had paid rent, whatever.
Watching babble on fire.
Okay, no, but what you were saying,
it isn't good to buy bottled water
because putting anything in plastic,
especially if you leave water in the car
in a plastic container, apparently,
it gives you cancer. No, it gives you that BPA whatever that stuff is that gives you man boobs because it makes you
Develop estrogen or you have girls now
What's the what we talked about it once for there's girls going through puberty now at the age of eight
Because of hormones and beef and they think it might be that BPA thing too
So if you want to avoid that feed all your young girls Taco Bell
to. So if you want to avoid that feed all your young girls Taco Bell. For more than an injected beef Taco Bell into algae water. And then you're fine.
Is algae bad for you? Do you know us if it's like no, it has no no effect other than the smell.
Have you really never noticed? Never. And you never know see the other day. I have noticed. Never. Nope. And you never noticed either. I have noticed since then.
I didn't notice at the time. I had never noticed until you pointed it out. So gross.
There was a time when you got into it with a waiter at a restaurant. I think it was
El Mercado actually. And you sent your water back because it tasted like blue algae. And I
tasted it too. Yeah. It was bad. It's the only time I've ever noticed it. When I drink
glass of water, it's like I drink a full 16 ounce glass of water. I drink it like 10 seconds.
I don't sip water. I just I just slam water the same as Jack Daniels
That's why I need the tap in your house. Is it good? I'm getting that I agree
I'm not you're preaching the converted now water's awesome
I think when I was a kid I didn't like drinking water. I always wanted to drink sodas
But then as I got older I was like water is the best thing in the world. Oh fucking great. Yeah
One of my kids won't drink anything but water really. Yep, Teddy good. He won't drink anything but water and chocolate from a fountain
And chocolate fountain right exactly. That's that's the new hot balances each other out
As opposed to Ben who only drinks chocolate from
Here's nothing too easy. We got him the chocolate fountain. We thought it'd be great and it was essentially like a $50 gag gift
He was disappointed for about 30 seconds and then didn't give a fuck
I mean really just he hasn't talked about it since.
It's been sitting in a box in my garage waiting to go back to Amazon.
Now, it's probably way past the point, which I can return it.
Yeah. And it's just, didn't matter.
He's not the next thing.
Turned into a chocolate frountain.
Did you replace it with a Snickers bar?
Like, there we go.
No, we just put the Snickers bar on the microwave.
He went and jumped on the trampoline.
You remember that hamster we talked about a couple weeks ago?
He was just like that. I was like, oh, hey, what's that?
Look at that. Let's go.
So how many of the, uh, this picture in nominees did you guys see?
Man, there was a couple that showed up that I'd know anything about. I saw a couple.
I didn't know what the kids are all right was. Is that on there? Yeah.
You can get that on the iTunes. It's one of the ones I've thought about getting.
It's a Mark Ruffalo film, right?
I think it's a Mark Ruffalo is.
He said do.
He was in, okay.
You're better than IDB.
The movie with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
Yeah, he was in that.
He was in that movie too where like some girl died,
or he died and.
Yeah, he was in that movie.
It was awful.
Yeah.
It was Reese Witherspoon who died, right?
Yeah, Reese Witherspoon died and haunted. So we know all of everyone in the movie, It was awful. Yeah, it was it was Reese with a spoon who died right? Yeah, Reese
Reese was been died in Haunt. So we know all of everyone in the movie remember any names of movies. Yeah
Yeah, I was thinking about something funny if
IMDB had existed it literally could not have existed before the internet
Mm-hmm
It'd been great if it was if it did exist like in like 1990 where you just call 800 number
You're like, hey, who is that guy in that movie with Angelina
Jolie worth of fighting the cyborg and the person that I was like oh what is that that's
up hold on a second we go to a filing cabinet and pull out the Angelina Jolie file yeah like
let me talk to my manager hello this is the manager that was cyborg to ma'am and they
were like thank you for calling Pabloueblo Colorado. I don't know. Where Pueblo Colorado?
Did anyone ever send away for that pamphlet?
The Pueblo Colorado?
I don't think so.
God.
That was like Saturday morning cartoons.
Like all the time, life, mystery novels,
and all that, mystery books, and all that shit.
Okay, we're running the risk of dating ourselves here
by talking about early age cartoons.
That's a good point.
You know, because it's funny, because we always say that
with achievement hundreds,
there's always talk about, should we do a retro gaming series like where we focus on retro games right
But the thing about retro gaming is nobody gives a shit about anybody else's what they consider retro games right
Yeah, like the ones you grow up playing your exciting because you grow playing them
Nobody else cares like we could do a whole series on a boy in this blob and everybody was just complaining
It was a battle to I don't care about that. Yeah, did you have a game you like to
I like that game Not in was a game of cash blob.
Not in should.
Like, if you went and played Ultima,
the one said, when I played growing up
on the Commodore 64,
I thought, I'd be like, what the hell is this game's socks?
Also, like, how would I find a computer
that old to run it?
They have, they have emulators now.
It's like John Pider.
I have to be on a search for one fucking IBM machine.
Some living machine that adds in the zero bit column
or something like that.
Is that what he was looking for?
You could go down to a discount electronic, I'm sure you could cobble something together
with their buckets of spare parts.
You and I've said brain at some time.
Yes I do.
Talk to him about the power rangers, because he grew up watching the power rangers.
He actually thinks that's cool.
Dude, we really think they're cool.
I cannot break him of that. When we were doing the shoot with Mega 64 at my house,
it was the TSA shoot.
I don't think you were there at this moment,
because you had to go do something.
But he and Rocco got into a conversation
about when Power Rangers jumped the shark.
And they were so fucking serious about it.
And apparently it was when Power Rangers wanted to space.
Apparently that's like...
That was the moment. That was the moment they jumped it's sharp. But like Derek
Sean Gus and I were just standing there watching him like in disbelief with our jaws out like
it's like you lose respect for them. It's like I can't believe these are people I work with.
First you think it's an ironic conversation and then you feel like it's one of those family
guy jokes so they carry on too long and then it becomes funny to the longer they carry it on and
then you realize that they need to be punched.
That's all the rest of it.
He, like, Brandon looks up stuff on Amazon and there's, like, devices he wants to buy,
like, power rangers watches.
Yeah, there was a watch, right?
He said, like, all the different, like, wristband colors.
Oh my god, really?
Mm-hmm.
He's the other day, like, I think he was expecting me to be like, ooh.
Like, a lot of people say the red rangers watch is the best but I like the yellow rangers watch.
Because it tells time to beats.
Oh god, oh god.
Okay, Brandon, who is showing me this watch he really wants to buy,
like it's a, some Japanese line of watches that had like,
it doesn't, the screen doesn't look anything like a typical watch and it's got a,
it's a totally different way. It's almost like,
come on in. Hey, we're talking about you. We we're talking about you. Do you want to tell everyone about
those Japanese watches you really into? Tell us how cool the power rangers are.
Brandon, Brandon, Farma Hini everyone. I didn't say the watches were cool. I said they
were one and one. Because I want something that's a minute cool. So I want you to, we were
describing how nobody's retro is relevant to anybody else and how do you want to tell us why power Rangers is so awesome?
I mean if you're that age, I mean everybody who what 24 I'm 24 Monty is about 26 Monty's 29 what really yeah, how?
Why you out now?
I'm not saying get your facts straight.
If you're the right age, I mean that's that's just kind of what you grew up with. It was at the time really crazy.
Like a lot of cool fighting guys turning into monsters, robots turning into monsters.
When did they jump to Shark?
When they went to Cars.
I thought it was when they went to Space.
No, no, no, no.
Cars was right before Space.
Dinosaurs turning into giant robots, that's cool.
Cars turning into big robots. That's Transformers. turning into big robots. So that's Transformers.
Yeah.
And Voltron.
Not as cool.
Hmm.
How are engines are awesome. And it's just, it's not just me.
There were dinosaur Transformers.
There was also a fucking, what was it called?
I don't remember.
There was a grim lock in those guys.
Mega 64 came down here a few weeks ago and I'm not gonna out him but one.
We're not about Rocka.
We already out there.
You tell the story entirely differently though.
You tell it like we got together and we realized that we found each other.
It's like we talked about this thing we had in common.
Jeff says there were two idiots off on the side telling us about everybody else stared at them.
So we added more people into our group than you added into your paper
guarantee. Okay, so when you guys are kids you didn't have that same thing. That dumb
thing looking back now that older people thought was stupid but you loved. No, that's
what we're saying. Absolutely. That other people's retro doesn't matter to anybody else.
Right. We look at other people's retro and think that's stupid. Who gives a shit about
your thing? Mm-hmm. I think probably the dumbest thing I watch growing up was like,
play Thundercats, that's garbage.
Yeah, that's terrible.
It's awful.
That kind of stuff.
Let's see, we can admit it's awful now.
It's true, we can't.
Power Rangers are still off.
Like for instance, I remember Thundercats jump the shark,
the day the series was pitched.
The day they turned Richard Simmons into a cat
and into a Malene character.
It is show.
The worst part of a look at that in that series is like, it's an 18-minute show, six minutes
or Japanese footage, and then another three minutes is a stock footage.
So it's about four minutes of good American television.
Or just American television.
Or just American television.
Actually, I can outgripping on something here too because Millie recently died her hair had a friend die her hair. Oh, yeah, and
Larkin from Benjamin Sheenman's Larkin did it and who is a professional hairdresser? Is that the proper term style?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Colorist and
So Griffin was saying that and I mean I think it's cute and fun and I think Griffin felt the need to say why a five-year-old is getting her hair colored a little bit.
It's like a stripe.
She has like a pink or green stripe in her hair.
And Griffin says when she was younger she wanted her hair dyed like Chitara.
I beg my mom and she was like no.
And then I beg my mom to let me dye my hair green.
When I was reading a book and one of the characters had a green hair and she said no.
So I said yes.
So this is a great way of compensating. She didn't even wait for Millie to ask. She was like,
you're getting Chitara hair.
No, Chitara hair would be almost impossible if longer hair though. Like, with short hair,
you can do like the polka dots and that kind of thing, like if it's buzzed.
But you're not chaining on her head just to give her Cheetah hair.
No, you'd have to be like, it'd have to be genetically altered, I think, for it to work.
Okay.
You're not genetically altering your daughter.
Not for that.
Can I get back to the Brandon's watch story?
Sure, absolutely.
Okay, so he was showing me these crazy Japanese watches
that you were saying they revolutionized
how you tell time and they're like,
I didn't see it revolutionized.
You said, do that weird, go along with it.
No, but you're like, you kind of have to know
the code on how to tell time. And then you try to show me how it was different from your watch
Which you but you couldn't tell time with your watch like you know that you're normal
Yeah, it doesn't behave like a normal watch
Like I just like this my whole life
Tell me
The second hand goes all the way to zero it turns into a timer and I've got the manual you right you should get the more complicated
That'll work out well for you
If he already has a watch, you can't tell time. I'm going to, I have to say with Brandon on that one.
If he already has a watch, you can't tell the time with,
there's nothing wrong with getting another watch.
That's difficult to tell time with.
At least if you get like the code watch, people understand
why you don't understand.
Right.
At least we have an excuse for not knowing what time it is
when you're wearing a watch.
Tokyo Flash is a name of the website.
If you want to check out and see what we're talking about.
OK.
And if you're listening to the enhanced podcast,
you can click on the link right now. Is it Tokyo Flash or a name of the website. If you want to check out and see what we're talking about. Oh, okay. And if you're listening to the enhanced podcast, you can click on the link right now.
Is it Tokyo Flash or Tokyo Dash Flash?
Tokyo Flash.
Because I bet one of those is totally different than the other.
I bet they are.
I bet they are.
I made it horrible.
I have a watch that I hate as well,
but the reason I hate the watch is it's super cool watch
that has a compass and an altimeter, a barometer,
all that stuff in it.
Please, time X outdoor watches, which I'm fooling myself into buying it,
thinking I'm going to use all this stuff just in case you go.
You don't need a barometer.
Like, just in case I have like a gel battle plane,
then go spillunkering and then go scuba diving.
Exactly. Remember that movie?
Calling 1-800-I-M-D-B.
Hey, what was the movie with Anthony Hopkins and Alan Baldwin with the Bear?
The Bear.
The Bear.
The Edge.
The Edge.
That was the, that's a great movie. It is. That's
great line. That's the spirit of the beat of Japanese. But he makes a compass on the leaf
or something like that. I can't do that. So I'm just going to get the watch that does
that because I'm outdoors so much. Not only do I not use the functions on the watch, but
my watch gave me the ultimate fuck you. I don't't it's a solar watch and I don't go outside enough to charge it
Hey, I mean does it run?
But you said I have the exact same problem. I also have a solar watch every now and then I have to leave it on the dashboard in my car
To charge it otherwise it'll just die
That is so sad. I mean, I don't even have enough light time in my office to charge it by life
Flores and light it. Why don't you guys just get us B powered watching? I know I'm so much better for you I don't know. I light time in my office to charge it by like fluorescent light. I don't you guys just get USB powered watch
I don't know. I don't know. It's so it's really it's really
It's a bit of a wake-up call that I don't go into Sun enough to charge a solar watch
And I'm driving. I try to like adjust my sleeve to make sure that the watch is out and it's like positioned in the Sun as I'm holding on to the steering wheel
To be fair to you when you're spulunkering and scuba diving, you're just not getting that much sunlight.
That is true.
That is true.
When I'm at your fault.
Like when I'm in my one man submarine.
There's nothing that can be done.
Actually, having the dogs got me out a lot more.
And one of my kids is starting soccer as well,
so that helps.
There you go.
I'm fascinated by how information spread
before the internet.
Like when everyone had an Nintendo, everybody's Nintendo, that had the greatest failure rate
of any console that I know of.
Absolutely.
Everybody's Nintendo failed at some point.
Yes.
And nobody complained.
And everybody knew, everybody in the world knew to blow on that cartridge.
Yeah, or shimmy it, or there were no one you breakthroughs in how to fix that.
Right.
But how did everybody know that?
Like, if you blow in the context, it might work and it might take.
Pimp house.
That is viral information.
That's right.
Don't you think that you kind of blew in everything back then, like a tape, you take
it out of the VCR because it was just fucked up and you like lift it and blow.
I mean, it's just in that like our solution for everything.
That was my first experience with rebooting something
to try to fix the problem.
Also, it's like, it doesn't work.
Sometimes you just sit there and power cycle it over and over.
Pray that it works.
Yeah.
But while we're speaking, I'm not spending enough time outside.
Brain and I watched the first game of the championship weekend.
And we watched Green Bay beat Chicago.
And I thought, I'm not sticking around for the second game.
Brain and felt the same way.
So Jack was like, well, you have to watch the kick.
He was doing everything he could to try to keep us in that bar.
Like, well, at least watch me finish my beer.
It's like, come on, check.
Trick your beer.
Let's go watch me finish my beer.
And it was riveting.
It was.
It really was.
I got this thing now where he has a keychain.
And he's drinking all 40 beers and they punch him every time.
If they punch the keychain every time
He orders one of these beers and then when he's very excited then when he gets it he gets a free keychain
Oh, yes, yeah, that's the which he already has started
I felt really bad when I got there because as soon as Jack got in the the waitress recognized him and she's like hey
Where's your friend Joel?
Here's the way you told me the story.
He said, I said, I think I made the comment that the waitress was cute, which he was.
And with my wife listening to the podcast, I did not say that.
I said she was cute and Joel and Jack says, yeah, when I came in, she recognized me.
And I said, oh yeah, really? She goes, yeah, she came right up to me and she goes hey how you doing where's your friend and he goes so I think she might have a thing for me I'm like you
really took that away from the conversation hey where's your friend I mean I admire the optimism
that's not like crazy but then after we were leaving the place, we got a call on my cell phone.
It's Monty.
And Monty, and I want to preface this by saying, Monty is the kind of guy who just, he would
live at the office.
In fact, it was a short time where he did live at the office.
And he was sleeping in one of our spare conference rooms that we have.
And he would totally prefer to do that.
He would be at his desk 18 hours a day and then just sleep in a closet and come back and
go back to his desk. He loves what he does that much.
So when he was deciding where he was gonna live
when we changed offices, he moved into an apartment.
I knew that was very close to here.
And I thought it was across slaughter,
which nobody listened to podcasts
when I was at means, but there's a major thoroughfare
that goes right by us.
And I thought he lived across that major street.
So he calls me and he says,
hey, my car is dead. I need
a jump. And I was like, Oh, okay. Well, I just so happens. I'm right around the corner
at a bar. So let me come out and I'll help you. So I go to jump his car. I realize he doesn't
live across the street. He lives across the street. He lives in the apartment complex right
here. And just so you can understand how far hundred feet away, like you could probably
stand at our front door. And do you think you could hit that apartment complex throwing
a base? Yes, I could easily, right? So I said to money think you can hit that apartment complex throwing a base yes i could easily right
so i said the money i said
i go to the store you live right here i thought you look like three or four blocks away he goes he goes
he goes no i'm just trying to move as close as i could you know i said yeah that makes sense i said
why do you uh
why do you drive your car to work every day
and he says uh oh i know and i said he it's just like, it's kind of a distance.
I was like, but I can literally see the office right there.
I can see, I can read our sign.
We can play catch.
And he goes, I know, I know.
I guess I'm just being lazy.
He goes, but the weather's getting warmer and I'm going
to get a bike.
That was his explanation.
It would be longer to get the bike out
than it would walk to the office.
The correct explanation is that it would take him like 10 minutes longer,
which would be 10 minutes less time in his life.
He had to work on RBB.
He's totally efficient.
Like he's probably got to work out in his head exactly how many seconds it takes off of
the trip to the work to get in the car and come.
Like Monty one time told me he doesn't microwave things for a minute because you have to push
three buttons.
He microwaves things for 59 seconds because that's one less button he has to push
50 you mean 55 or 50 I see it's saying yeah if he did 59 it'd be two less buttons
See if you sit the five twice. Does that you need a finger? Yeah, I know he does that five twice
Does he does there you go? Yeah, he brought that one podcast he came in and talked about it
You know he you talked about him living in the office for a little while when we filmed some of those or when you filmed some of those
Immersion in shows in front of the the game in front of the TV. He was asleep right behind the camera right
Yeah, he's behind the camera asleep in the corner. He also sleeped or anything which I admire that was amazing
I would forget he was there
Especially considering it's not just
For people who don't like film a lot sorry, I know something on my throat. It's a it's not just for people who don't like film a lot, sorry, I know
something on my throat.
It's a, it's not just like you walk in with a camera, put Bernie in a chair in front of
it and start shooting.
It's like an hour of moving lights around very loudly, turning lights on, turning them
off, the room getting very hot, moving positions, seven people talking, and it's like, he didn't
just look at that part, he slept through all the setup and all the tear down.
Yeah, it takes a lot of people to make me look as good as I do. It does, but you look great. A couple of months ago when he was in the office sleeping in that room, I's like, he didn't just look at that part. He slept through all the setup and all the tear down. Yeah, it takes a lot of people to make me look as good as I do.
It does.
But you look great.
A couple of months ago when he was in the office sleeping in that room,
someone didn't realize he was in there.
And they engaged the alarm.
And there is a motion sensor in that room pointed right at Monty.
So this is just a motionless sleeper.
I kind of like that.
I think Monty can beat the motion sensor.
Don't you think?
I can imagine like scaling the walls.
You know, you're right. You're not going to see an sneaker in sneakers where they're like, you have to just have to move real slow.
I'll bet you a few dollars that Monty has a smoke bomb on him. I bet he has.
He just throws it down puff and then there he goes. Smoke bomb and a sword gun.
So then at the end of the thing when we jump this car finally he gets in his car and I get in my car
and we're I said, well I'm gonna drive back to the office and I said are you gonna meet me over there?
Because I had to roll our trash out of
Another story. Hey, that's Jeff duty, right? Roll out the trash. Sure or brain and you should be doing it
But I said I was gonna go back and roll out the trash
I said so you're gonna go back to the office too and he says oh no, I'm going to the gym
And I was like oh, I said I know you joined a gym. I said what what gym are you the one Jack goes to down the block here. He goes no, it's at the front of the apartment complex and he drives away
There's there's literally no distance that he won't drive
It's like if he could drive from his front door to his bed
He probably would do that. She can't even go to go to go from his car to his desk in the office
Does he? Yeah, it's his tires. to have a flat tire since like Christmas, right?
He keeps filling it.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So it's like a slow leak.
So Auntie is a hundred percent function for the stuff that he does.
Like he dumps so much of the aesthetic and form into like what's on the screen?
That it's like he has none of it left for the rest of his life.
He doesn't care.
Absolutely.
Doesn't care at all.
That's true.
That's true, too.
A little bit, but he does do like costuming and stuff.
Uh, his, uh, his, but he does see like, costuming and stuff.
His girlfriend dresses up
and like puts on these,
this cosplay or whatever.
Yeah, it's a cool one going right now.
Yeah, like he does that stuff too.
So in his, in his outside life,
he's still, but he's,
but it's in, it's usually for a purpose.
It's not like, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And he has a care like,
like when he watches us do stuff like,
you painting the walls,
or like we're putting in cabinets in the kitchen,
like finishing out the building, he's like, what's all this for? building he's like what's all this for yeah that's said he also said well do you
think I should talk to Matt and Bernie about getting us nerf guns because I think it'll be a really
good way for us to interact and relieve stress it's a way for him to interact and release this
and shoot carry a lot um but yeah and so I think you're right except that he does he likes frills are just different different kinds of frills. Yeah
So back to the Oscars. Yeah, I think I've seen true grit. I haven't seen King speech
There's one at the end there too that I didn't remember Gus. Can you read the whole list?
It's 127 hours black swan inception the fighter the kids are all right the King speech the social network
Toy Story 3 true grit andrit, and Wintersbone.
That's it, Wintersbone, I'm not hurt of that one.
Sounds like porn, I'm just going to say that.
Yeah, I've seen it by half of those, I guess.
I was pleased to see Toy Story 3 in Best Picture, and not Best Animated.
Not going to win.
Yeah, but it's just weird that they have a best animated category and 243 is in best pictures
Yeah, really awkward for everyone else in the animated category
I thought I thought how to train your dragon was
Could have been a contender for that. It was very good except that the it's just about the casting and that movie that was off
Everything else was good but the casting the voice acting was just didn't quite match the characters or something wasn't a billhater
Was one of the guys in it? I want to say a Bill Hader? Was one of the guys in the- Uh, I wanna say you're right.
I know one of the guys was Craig Ferguson,
you know, and he was pretty good,
but he didn't seem burly enough for the guys they were playing.
I liked, I liked Megamind a lot.
Bill Hader, I'm not sure.
I think it was wonderful was the,
I wanna say Gerard Deppardewis on it.
He was the Gerard Butler.
Oh Gerard Butler.
Yeah, that guy, the guy from 300.
Yeah.
He was one of the guys there.
He was the father. I don't know who the
Sun was. The thing was that who's the dude from Chopic Thunder, the geeky dude?
Uh, that's also source or is apprentice. Oh, uh, Josh Duchess, Shell or J J
Barrow shell. Okay. I do not see Bill Hader in the list for how to train your dragon. Yeah, I don't think
those haters in that look up Bill Hader. What animated film was in the show every year Yeah, that dude is in every movie except you know
I'm trying to drag it in front of you guys. I gotta head out as always. Thanks for talking shit
Yeah, no problem. You had impeccable timing today
We we try to talk shit about you in the in the first like around the 20 minute mark
So if you just want to come in every week
He was in cloudy with a chance to meet both that's it. Sorry cloudy with a chance to meet
Oh, yeah, not the best moving Brandon as always cloudy with a chance to meet both. That's it. Sorry. Cloudy with a chance to meet both.
Not the best move.
Brandon, as always, thank you for the easy material.
We appreciate it.
All your efforts.
If it wasn't for Brandon and Jack, what would we talk about?
Bill Hader's younger than me.
Is he really?
Yeah, Jesus.
Way more successful.
You know what a big turning point for me
was was when Playboy centerfolds,
because they have their birthday on the centerfold information,
which is very important
I when the first one is younger than me. That was a big turning point in my life
I felt that's 19 that happened I
I was listening to a star in the other day and
Seth Rogen was on and he's like 26
That was hard for me to listen to
That's fucking young these young, but man. He's been doing stand-up forever. Yeah, he was doing stand-up
like 14, I think. Yeah, no, he's, I mean, he's definitely put in the hours to achieve his success,
but God damn. He's 28. 28. There you go. About turns 29 and then people. Well, he looks 40.
Yeah. Did anybody see the green hornet? No. No, I heard it was good though. I heard it was good too.
But yeah, they do say it's good. It wasn't nominated, but... It uh...
I think it's for next year.
I don't realize that Michelle Gondry was the person directing it.
Seems like a weird fit.
I think she makes bizarre movies.
Yeah.
I would like to note that our drunk tank best picture winner
is not even in nominee for the Oscars.
That's true.
Because it's a documentary.
Nominate for best documentary though.
I need to... Get the trophy's made. Oh, you Because it's documentary nominee for best documentary though. I need to
a lot of events get the trophies made. Oh, even done that yet. No, no, I got to get on that out of out of that list and what you've seen
what do you think the movie is just based off what you see. I haven't seen it. But I think the King's speech from everything I'm
hearing has a really good shot. But based on what I've seen, I would say true grit. I haven't seen a lot of stuff
out there. I haven't seen black swan. I haven't seen a lot of that. I liked the social
network better than sugar, I think, but I like them both a lot. Don't you and your wife
usually go and see all of the nominees? Yep. That's that it was harder to last year when
there was 10. So, but what's trying to do it again this year? We have a month to watch
essentially eight movies. That's kind of tough., but you know, especially if they're not on video yet
I saw an unofficial poll on CNN.com. I think it was last night where they
Maybe it was the day before big. It's gone. I can't find it again
But it was a poll that said how many best picture nominees have you seen and it was like you know one through five six through ten or none and
62% of the people who answered that poll said none.
Wow.
62% of the people who took that poll
on the front page of CNN.com
had not seen one of those 10 movies.
Which is strange, just Toy Story 3
and inception are in there.
Yeah, those are, I mean, historically,
it's always been like Art House films and like
heavy films.
But there were some very mainstream movies in there.
Yeah, like I remember when Gladier got nominated,
how weird it was that a movie like Gladier
or a blockbuster had been nominated. But yeah, inception and
Toy Story were huge draws this year. It just it just seemed almost like I mean you
shouldn't you take in consideration people that actually see it in movies that are actually
popular. I mean. Yeah. No. No. That's good. A lot of that's marketing. Well, I guess like
that's its own reward, right? If you do well financially, that's its own reward.
I mean, you're gonna put grown-ups in there?
You know, I mean, it's not really...
That's true.
I remember one year Jimmy Kimmel did this thing where he interviewed people on the best movie
of the year at what was nominated, and white girls and AVP overwhelmingly won the
show off and by some audience reaction.
And by the way, each one of those movies made way more than anything
It was no that was something else that was uh Chris rock that was Chris rock. Yeah, you did that wasn't yeah
Was for when he did he was the uh the emcee right one year. Oh, yeah
I think it was actually part of the awards ceremony. Yeah, yeah, and uh like I've never saw was a big one like you're like oh man
That's all was great
But popularity is don't reward isn't it? Yeah, I mean, it's life. It's a money reward.
Yeah, it is.
I guess that's true.
And whoever has won once the other, you know, whoever has the $300 million movie,
I'm sure the Wayans brothers are riding around in their jet skis and the French Caribbean right now crying their eyes out.
They didn't win an Academy Award.
The Wayans brothers have that much movie?
I think they're doing pretty well.
They did all the scary movies. Oh, yeah, they did
The White Girls which made like a hundred million they did that
One I'm turning to a baby movie that made like 70 million
Not make how much is it look at a little big man. I'm gonna get I'm gonna bet it made 60 million
You have to vamp a bit it takes you a little while to get there. I just saw those scary movies all those were like the number one
Like each one broke the record for number one opening for our already movie.
I just saw a poster on the Apple's movie page, which they seem to have, they seem like they're moving away from that.
The Apple's trailer page. It used to be the place to go to watch the trailer, but now I find more recent ones on Yahoo of all places.
Yeah, and like film blogs, but on the Apple page, they had a poster for, I didn't watch the trailer, but they had
a poster for Scream 4.
And I was pretty surprised to know that there's only been three screen movies.
It seems like there's been about 10 of those.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Oh, the actual screen movie?
Yeah, Scream.
Oh.
It was actually called Little Man and it made $58 million.
How much was the budget?
64.
Oh.
They lost some money on that.
I bet they didn't.
I bet they'll be fine.
I would then make it internationally.
International, it's another 42.
There you go.
You only stink.
No, you sell your international rights.
But still, they make money off that.
DVD sales, rentals.
They made their money.
You hear about Kevin Smith?
Yeah, what a douche.
You think he's a douche?
Yeah.
I thought, tell you what, man. He's retiring, is that's douche? Yeah. I thought, say what man?
He's retiring. Is that what he said? No. I can't. I'm not going to be able to explain
this story. It was really exciting to Jack yesterday. I don't know if I'll explain it well.
Should I bring Jack in? No, it's a. Come on. No, no, no. No, no. No, no, no.
It's essentially Kevin Smith's going around with his new movie Red State, which is his horror
film. And he said he was going to change the way that's studios buy films. Like he was going to revolutionize the way independent movies are purchased. And he said he was going to change the way that studios buy films. He was going to revolutionize the way independent movies are purchased.
And he said at Sundance, he would, after his showing, he would have an auction and that
he would sell the movie to the highest bidder.
So all these executives went and they watched the movie and they went to start the bidding
process.
And he goes, okay, opening bid is me $20 sold.
I now have the rights to my movie.
And it was all like, I guess a publicity scam and sold the rights to the movie and he just like it was all like I guess a publicity scam and
Sold the rights to the movie to himself for $20 now. He's gonna take it around the theaters in charge like 50 or 60 bucks
People to get in see it what or the time sounds like it sounds like cold feet to me
Like maybe he thought he wasn't you know
We're coming down to this auction of people buying his movie right there in the spot. I think he got cold feet
Maybe yeah, I don't know pulled up pulled a jack you use the jack. You used to work from right? Or like in some capacity?
I PA'd on some view skew stuff. Are you done? I was, I don't know what's going on
on me today. And I worked, I worked a lot of jobs with the USQ employees.
I see. Okay. And to be fair, he was, I met and talked to Kevin many times, very, very nice guy.
You know, I was, you have to give him credit at least in one regard and that he's made Sundance relevant.
I haven't heard any information out of Sundance in probably five years.
I mean, it comes and goes and I literally hear nothing about Sundance.
I didn't know it was Sundance until Jack told me that story.
Yeah.
And I'll say another thing about that, dude.
Kevin's a myth.
He's a marketing genius and merchandising genius.
That dude has turned his small slice of the film world
into millions of dollars of merchandising.
And I'm very well with it.
I agree with you.
I think this is one step too far.
I think from what I've heard, he's taking this movie around,
he's doing like a tour with it.
And it's gonna be a, it sounds like a combination
of a screening and his a night with Kevin Smith. And he's charging's charging seventy bucks that was a seventy yeah I know it was good expensive
I think I said fifty but yes seven that's crazy if he charges seventy dollars to take it I mean that's
I think that crosses the line between excellent marketing and milking your audience that being said
can I think Kevin Smith has a large enough audience to fill seats everywhere he goes that being said
it'll work for totally let's let's have a screening is what I'm getting away from this conversation
We said can we try to cover at the door of our theater and packs
But I mean the dude is the dude just more dude, you know
Say what you will about his films and he would just sit inside
fucking the secret stash this comic book shop where I used to get my my comics from and
He would just hang out for like an hour day and just talk to anybody that came in
on the talk to him.
He said he's honest with his fans, but.
The people that I worked with who worked with him didn't like him as much as the fans
all say that.
So, well, that doesn't take that typical.
That doesn't sound atypical.
Yeah, I'm sure that, you know, church's wife and roadblock like Bernie a hell of a lot
more than I do.
Like me, me.
Yeah, I wouldn't be so sure about that
You like me a lot
I'm just trying to get Griffin leave give her some bad tasting water
I'll be more time together. We should wrap things up before we go too long
Okay, it's been such a lovely time. We had a late start on the podcast today
I got to make sure we get it out on time. I watched you bookmark all the sites
We were gonna talk about today. You didn't get any of them. Yeah, I mean, that's a wrestling target
I don't ever want to shoot horn that conversation
There is a topic we should probably talk about because it just happened and it's very relevant
I think to our audience you might not bring it up. No, I have to yeah, yeah, you set it up so we'll knock it down
I don't know. I think it was I think it was Putin
Vladimir Putin the what it was Putin Vladimir Putin, the...
What was he, the premiere of Russia?
Who blamed the bombing of the Moscow airport on modern warfare.
Did he?
Yeah.
On the scenes in modern warfare, the no-reshen scene.
Yeah, he said that he thinks that...
Can you look at the quote, so I'm not misquoting a foreign leader?
So Putin is a gamer?
That's awesome. That's really cool leader so but you need a gamer. That's awesome
Actually cool. He's clearly a halo fan. He knows individual levels from modern warfare to I don't think I specifically said that But I mean who knows somebody probably showed it to him like right after the event and said see look at this
And what I think is interesting about this is my Twitter feed about a week ago was talking about how Sarah Palin
Caused the shooting in Arizona and now my twitter feed is saying how it's
ridiculous to think of a video game because of bombing in their port right
that's that's a there's a fair amount of hypocrisy and people don't see you
know it's like it's it's it's surprising to me how quickly people will
abandon their baseline fundamental judgments you know what i mean
right of i could believe about things.
Could not agree with you more.
I don't see anywhere that Putin or the government official
made the direct correlation.
I see terrorism experts talking about it.
Really? Because everything I read is actually said Putin on it.
Putin?
I'll keep looking.
Putin?
I think it's a button.
Is that level of call of duty socially responsible maybe was what Sarah Paylon did socially
responsible maybe, but to draw the line that somebody saw her infographic and decided I'm
going to assassinate this person.
It's pretty easy.
See, it's target on a web page.
If an image on a web page can cause people to murder, then you're saying the most dangerous
place on the planet. Yeah, you're saying images, movie, violent movies, and violent web page can cause people to murder, then what you're saying, then for the most dangerous place on the planet.
Yeah, you're saying images, movie, violent movies, and violent video games can cause people to violent.
I don't believe that.
So I don't believe in image on a website that could cause somebody to shoot somebody.
Absolutely.
You could point a gun at somebody and pull the trigger.
That's all on you.
There was a big thing in the early 90s, at least big in my community, where there was this dude
who in Florida went into a tower and much like the UT tower at a college campus and started shooting people and he had a sick of it all
shirt, sick of it all as a popular hardcore band and popular.
Well popular within the genre, okay.
And they came in there so much fire and we were all like, they'll be ridiculous.
Music can't cause people to commit suicide or to commit murder.
And but I bet all those same people.
I don't know.
And when I was in the fifth grade,
there was a girl that was in the eighth grade
that was murdered by her boyfriend who is in high school.
He was a freshman in high school.
And he, when the police found the column,
because his friends, like,
and it up, because his friends knew,
it had been there when it happened,
and didn't really try to cover for him. They said that all he would do, all he would do is talk about silence of the
lambs, like at that time that was when the movie was popular, like they're so huge,
talk about how he'd seen it like eight times, and he would talk about how he wanted to know
what was like to kill somebody.
I think that movies, music, video games can inspire somebody who is already crazy to do
things.
I mean, I think that, but I think all of the things are inspirational
to everybody for other reasons, you know,
like we usually interpret them in a way that's nonviolent,
but a violent person I think can be inspired by them
if they're already on that trajectory.
But you can't say it was because of silence of the lambs.
Like if he had not seen silence of the lambs,
maybe the John Wayne Gacy story or Helter Skelter
or some of the movie would have been the button he needed
or a lot of them. But I do think that they're,
I think they're buttons though.
I mean, I think that you have to be crazy to start,
like, because you will watch a movie and be inspired
to do something creative, because you're a creative person.
If you're like a homicidal person,
you might see something I get inspired to be.
But what are you gonna do in a limited all-button?
No, yeah, you can't really control that.
He's crazy and he seeks that stuff out, right?
And so that's why he identifies with it.
You know, and like Jeff's saying is right. I mean if it's if it's science of lambs or no for they'll say no violent
movies no violent video games existed then he would be a huge gang is con or Adolf Hitler fan yeah
exactly yeah we'd be back to banning books there would be something he would be obsessed with
not reading about the Nazis or reading about the Holocaust or something but ideas can spread you
know I mean people will go and get a copy of like the anarchist cookbook or something like that
because they
Won't want those tools and other people have gone before them and done those things
So I don't I don't I don't think you can say that video games don't lead to some violence
You know because they they might but I don't think you should stop making video games, you know
Like I you can't control what somebody's gonna do with the inspiration
I just think crazy people are gonna be crazy regardless of the inspiration
Right, I'll find the anarchist cookbook in high school.
I didn't murder anyone.
You know, one of the coolest jobs I ever had in my life
was when I was in college,
I was a sexual health peer advisor.
Did we get laid from that?
I don't mind that guy laid directly.
And definitely not.
I had students where they had to take a course
and I had to teach the course on methods of birth control
in order to qualify to get on the pill.
So it seemed like it seemed awesome.
But more so the other people, I mean, you just spend more time with the other peer
advisors and things like that.
And then I became like a, I don't know how to put it, it was called orientation advisor
where we did advising, coming freshmen, which sounds super creepy, but I was a junior in
college at the time.
But I actually got in trouble one time because we were having a discussion about something
and we had a discussion about like,
if we hand out condoms on the mall,
the big meeting place with all the students,
that there were always statistics showing
how handing out condoms doesn't increase promiscuity
on all this stuff.
And I was like, well, that's bullshit.
If you hand out burst control on all that stuff,
yeah, I think it increases promiscuity,
but I think the alternative is
real way worse, you know what I mean?
Sure.
And so it's like, you can acknowledge how something
you're doing can have negative impact,
but it's still better than the alternative, you know what I mean?
It's like, I don't want to live in a world where we can't
have, you know, video games and movies like silence.
So I don't want to, you know, live without silence
the lambs because somebody might go nuts.
Because because one person might go nuts
while 99.9% of the other people
Use it as an outlet to what it relax or release frustration like I play Halo
Well, maybe not Halo because I'm fucking terrible and people made me mad
But like I play a video game to decompress and relax, right and it helps you blow off steam
Not the opposite no, I think you guys are both right. The crazy people will be crazy regardless.
But I do think they can get inspired by movies and videos
just as like anyone else can,
just in a different way.
Sure.
Yeah.
I think I have some to do more with maybe
the specifics of the crime than something else.
Yeah.
I mean, I always think at the time of the Sarah Palin thing
was going on, when people were tweeting that,
oh, look what you did, all this stuff, I was like, the time of the third panel thing was going on. Um, when people were tweeting that, oh, look what you did, all the stuff.
I was like, I was remembering back to doom and Columbine.
There was for those of you who are in a way that was a big shooting in.
Was it Columbine?
Colorado.
And, uh, there was a big shooting there where the kids had been playing doom all the time.
And then, then this kid showed up and he was a gamer too, you know what I mean?
And was playing, was he playing it so much?
Some MMO?
Yeah. Earth realms or something?
Didn't the kid from, what was that one a couple of years ago?
At the college, I can't remember that was something state. It was Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech, he was a big counter-strike fan, right? Oh was he? I think so. Maybe I'm wrong about that,
but I thought he was. Yeah. And they drew that correlation. Well I think if you're somebody who's interested in guns,
you're going to want to play games that have guns in thought he was. Yeah. And they drew that correlation. Well, I think if you're somebody who's interested in guns, you're going to want to play games
that have guns in it.
I would think.
That's why you see ants.
Definitely what you seek things out, for sure.
So that's my take on that.
Gus, thank you for letting us talk about that.
No, that's fine.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't find, uh, uh, uh, in photoback you up on the quote.
I see Russian press talking about it, but I don't see any specific quote from them.
I stand behind my miserable. There was a, you know, after all that fallout, I don't see any specific quote from them. I stand behind my miss quote.
There was a, you know, after all that fallout, I sent you a picture of this, but I don't know if you got it.
I was like Bloomberg Business Week magazine on the, had a cover story about the history of the
Glock gun and how it became quote-unquote America's favorite killing machine or something like that.
A Glock is what, isn't that cholesterol?
A Glock is what we use in the zombie headshot video. Did you hear that after the block is also the gun that the cab was in, lawfuler?
Yeah.
Used in Arizona to shoot that congressperson.
And after that happened, that sales of blocks in Arizona quadrupled.
Yeah, that was in that magazine I read that.
That is fucking crazy.
That is a little crazy.
Yeah, I mean sometimes you can look at metrics in the way that trends move
and it can be a little frightening, you know.
I mean in that sense, you know, when you talk about politicians saying things,
it's just the ability to move people in a big mass that can...
If you point people in one direction, they don't stop until they hit something sometimes, you know.
It's very powerful.
Okay.
Very serious way to end the podcast.
Like a flash mob.
Let's all go and reflect.
Yeah, let's all have a silent reflective lunch.
All right.
All right.
What are we going to eat?
Oh man, this is trailer I really want to try.

It's next to that like red shed tavern.
They park out over there.
It's really good.
Oh, God, I have the worst Photoshop job on the side,
though, it's terrible.
Yeah, they're men, you could use some work.
You can see where somebody had accidentally used
than a racer tool and just didn't notice
that they cut a big part out of the image.
Oh, really?
It's a big white spot.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Or the food will just fade out into nothing.
That's pretty awesome. Here that food will just fade out into nothing.
It's pretty awesome.

She's why isn't Jo-Leen Blaylock more famous? I know she's like a young super hot angel in Jo-Leen
