It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane 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 Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church.

Twisted metal, now only on peacock Jeff Ramsay Garla Johansson's butt laid at night and this is how superheroes are born Welcome to the podcast. That was an interesting selection. Yes. That was that was totally natural That's exactly how that conversation happened when we recorded in the podcast my pop filters broken I hit I hit record before everyone was ready Joel still fucking with his pop filter I was like because everyone was like I don't know what we're talking about like the pop filter Yeah, that's just move to the other mic. We should just keep we should just keep microphones on in each of the offices Constantly constantly yeah, I'll fix it. I just move to the other mic. I don't want to move the other mic move the mic to you then

Following part of the podcast is brought to you by who makes pop filters I bought the absolute cheapest pop filters I could and I absolutely regret it Those are the worst pieces of shit ever. How do you make a bad pop filter? It's just like somehow I mean what is a pop filter pop filters like a piece of material But we'll know. No, it's like that circle piece of nylon or whatever it is It's like the material so how do you fuck up a piece of material? But we'll know, no, it's like that circle piece of nylon or whatever it is in front of the microphone. It's like a piece of material.

So how do you fuck up a piece of material? How does that happen? You know, sorenson's a, that's how you say it, right? It's a big headphone manufacturing. It's like today. It's fucking angry. We have, we have a bunch of them. We have like most of the set hizers.

Set hizers, excuse me. We have the set hizers. A bunch of them. And Miles got back from packs and he's like, hey, did you guys know that Sennheiser makes video game headphones? Like they're like completely different things. Marketing, marketing, it's all marketing. When I went, you know, how's England? Modern, we'll get to that second.

How's England? We'll talk about headphones real fast. How are the headphones in England? I went to pick up Modern Warfare 3 this morning, because it came out and there was so much Modern Warfare 3 branded shit. Like I went over to the Best Buy by the office and it was like, oh, get your Modern Warfare 3 headphones.

Don't forget your Modern Warfare 3 sunglasses, but don't get those sunglasses, get these Modern Warfare 3, there were multiple Modern Warfare 3 sunglasses for sale up there. Have you seen the greatest film ever sold? I have not seen that yet. Same concept in video games, but it's like the last 15 minutes are pretty awesome.

Maybe I would fast forward to that. Are we in the wrong industry? So you're saying? We should be making headphones and some guys worrying about filters. We're in industry that's not flooded. We don't have modern warfare 3 pop filters. We don't have those. The market cornered. No, we do. Yeah, wow. It's creative thinking. I like that outside the box Have you played any of it yet? No, it's still in shrink wrap. Oh my desk. We didn't introduce anyone. I've got I'm Philip Fran DeFree aka Joel Heyman This is brain-filled and disgust like always okay. We can continue with our stupid Ramley games now filled frame to frame so this is like Zero out when I'm at zero, but this is like

Critical mass time for video games this critical mass video out when I'm at zero, but this is like critical mass time for video games. This is critical mass video games I got a battlefield. Mm-hmm. Still in shrink wrap sitting on top my Xbox haven't played it At all for one second yet because I haven't had time a lot of threes got battlefield three Which has been out for a couple weeks modern warfare three which came out today Skyrim which comes out later this week and Uncharted 3 which came out last week. Did you play any of those? Yes, I played all of them. I mean I played Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3. Uncharted 3? You all have a play yet, but game of the year. I'm not so I don't so need but Uncharted 3 is

Probably one of the best video games ever played really. Yeah, it's second on the list I'm working through resistance. Yeah resistance three right now another three and It's tough. How's the how's the resistance going not enjoying it? But I feel like I got to finish it. I got I got to get it done I can't stop that's a problem with a video game is like that's that's the problem is like I know once I unwrap The video game and it's start the process. It's like oh, I'm gonna get sucked in and then I just feel paramount. What if what if the ending is awesome? What if the ending like changes my life forever? Yeah. Like I'm just gonna miss out if I don't thin and you get so close. I just can't. I can't. I started playing a orcs must die. And now it's like I can't. I'm obsessed about it. I can't start anything until I finish that. You know, I I was intentionally trying to delay I was trying to

limit my amount of untried to three play time because I didn't want the game to end. It was like I only want to play for a while. Yeah yeah and then I was like okay I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait. How's it compared to the last one? It was better than untried to. And then as soon as I'm not kidding you as soon as the credits finished rolling as soon as it was done I started playing again. Did the platforming get repetitive at all? No they didn't do it was done I started playing again. Did the platforming get repetitive at all? No, they didn't do it as much I felt like. It's jumping from ledge to ledge or up the ledge or down the ledge. I felt got a little a little much in too. The

the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the part that gets repetitive to me is sometimes they have like those runaway from falling stuff sequences where you're running at camera and I get confused as to which direction I'm supposed to be pushing on the analog stick like do I push down to run towards me crazy? Yeah, like when you play that they have that in Assassin's Creed a little bit sometimes a great game But like sometimes the rules change you know based on your environment It's like now the sudden left is not left, left is forward.

I think Resident Evil 2 is one of the toughest games in that regard. But I really like the fixed camera, even though going one way on the, on the D-pad puts you in a completely different room in an opposite direction. But I feel like fixed camera like gives you less control over the environment and you feel like more susceptible to, you know, shock and suspense. Because you can't look and see

what's in the corner of your eye. You have a very fixed perspective. Yeah, it's like watching a film. The career. It's like you're trying to turn it as a neck brace. Yeah, they choose the angle which is most terrifying. Yeah, I also feel like it's cheating though because then they don't have to draw the whole environment. They just have to draw the specific, they know exactly what you're going to be looking at. Sure, but then it allows you to put more attention towards other aspects of the of the production. It's like an animator's don't show feet.

Yeah, it's going to be wrong. I think it's very effective when it's used properly, but I feel like it's a it's a shortcut a lot of times and it's not done properly. But you were in resident in resident evil 2 it was done well. Yeah, I haven't played I'm playing any of those games That was an old game though, man. That's like fucking I Never played I never played resident evil I was I was big into one and two when they came out. I guess I played Code Veronica on the dreamcast I played five, but I never played four Was there three was three owned was it my the Nemmesis? Who's resident evil three? I don't know God this fucking video game box Yeah, I don't know like to me. It's like I know it was a game But it was like it's also a movie now. Yeah, and that's I don't know the movie scarred me for how was I was England

England was awful. You guys seen a doom movie real quick. Wait a minute. I didn't see this I saw the do move. Why would you see the doom move? I saw it for free I didn't see this. I saw the Doom move. Why would you see the Doom move? I saw it for free. It was like I would do it for you. It was your fantastic. I got to argue with Brian. What's the Doom move? Fantastic. I got to argue with Brian about it. He said it was really awful. I was like, look, if you choose to go see a movie about the game Doom that is obviously bad in the trailer, like you know there's a first person view,

you know what you're going to see. So I went and I started doing this because you know it's bad, it's not bad. Yeah, because you go into it being like, oh, I really want to see like a, you know, campy video game adaptation, not like a legitimate good movie. I want to go see a movie where the rock is shooting a bunch of shit. It delivered. It's like if you go see piranhas 3D, because you want a really stupid 3D movie with a bunch of people going to kill or a really a slasher horror movie

Like hell razor 4 hell razor in space No, I could not was that a real movie. Oh, that's not the title of it, but it is in space probably yeah They're in a space station. It's it's awesome. They're wearing modern warfare 3 glasses while they're the modern warfare 3 Space station. It's a modern warfare 3 glasses in space. That's a different type of glasses So you didn't you say it in space. That's a different type of glasses. So you didn't care for doom the movie. No, I did not care for doom the movie. Even though it was free, I felt ripped off. I used to do this thing for a long time. I used to do this every week, but in the local free paper, the Chronicle, you can flip through it and they'll tell you free passes for this movie, just go to whatever business

Thursday at 2 p.m. and get a free pass. I would do that every week, I'd go and I'd get every free pass to see every event screening I could, and I'd watch every movie I could free. They still do it, my friends went to see Harold and Kumar in 3D last week. So if you, which I heard is fantastic. If you live in Austin, you can do that.

Looking at the Chronicle, or if I'm sure whatever city, if you live in a you can do that like looking at the chronicle or if I'm sure whatever city if you live in a big city I'm sure you do it just about anywhere. I worked at the TV station We got those from movie promotional companies every week and we get hundreds Hundreds the one downside was that they gave away so many because they wanted theater to be full that you had to show up kind of early But if you're gonna see a movie at the Alamo and we have to show up early as it is. My time's more valuable, yes. Yeah, I don't know how to do that anymore, but I used to do that all the time. I love the Alamo, but. Is there a regal?

If you have a student ID, which I still own, I'm graduating for like two or three years, it's six bucks. Hold on, hold on. That's two and an ID for as long as possible. Don't give it up. You can get it everything. Six bucks, man. Yeah. But is there any reason we should talk about like what's happening with us this week? Sure, why not? We got, we were speaking of

theaters. We have a screening for season nine at the Drafthouse on Thursday. On Thursday, yeah. Sold out. What time? 7.30? It's at 8 p.m. It's at 8 p.m. but the whole cast will be arriving at 7.30 p.m. There'll be a little red carpet. Really? Yeah. Why is it not a blue carpet? This is joke. Not a very good one. What's going to be showing season 9? Do you know what we're showing?

We're going to be showing season 9, but the pre-roll, the Alamo always shows a pretty cool pre-roll based on what kind of movie we're going to watch. And we're doing the pre-roll, and it's going to be pretty good. It's all going to be stuff that we haven't shown before. It seems like we give the same exact process with Alamo every single time where it's just sort of like Hey, yeah, we want to run a theater and it's like then we get the small theater and then like it tells out immediately and it's like, Okay, I guess we'll get the bigger we'll bump you up to the bigger.

Yeah, they they it's just like we have to go through this process every single time. Yeah, I do kind of like it though's just like we have to go through those processes every single time. Yeah. I do kind of like it though because that way it gives fans multiple chances. You know, well, no, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not denigrating the fact that we have, we should, we should immediately get up to the bigger theater and maybe have to. I mean, if it's like what Brandon saying is it spreads out the ticket purchasing opportunity across multiple time periods. I say so that I don't know though.

That's like a different philosophy though because the people who knew about it and were standing in line theoretically online who take it and then they got bumped and they're like they didn't get the ticket but then later someone else got it that's kind of the bad feeling. It's welcome that's like skipping in line. I've never had a problem going to these. All right. I just had a cool idea too and I'm not going to share it with you guys but if you are coming to the Alamo, expect something awesome. Expect something that no one's ever done before in a movie theater. Public nudity? Public nudity.

I've done that. You know, you ever, it might have been before you moved to Austin, but there used to be this really shitty theater on Riverside. The Presidio, it's where that Chinese buffet is now. I know the Chinese buffet. Yeah, that used to be. Don't ever drive behind the Chinese buffet after midnight. Okay.

Well, anyway, one time, that was like the shittiest theater I've ever been to in my life. And I used to live pretty close to this. There were always called the Presidio, I don't know why. That's the theater I would go to. And one time I was watching, I think I was watching, I only remember ever watching terrible movies there. And one time I was watching Stigmata.

And like in the middle of the movie, the door, like the exit up under the screen opened up and a domino's pizza guy walked in. That's great. You got a pizza for Mark and like, he's like, over here, and the fucking domino guy goes up to the, in the movie theater, delivers his pizza and walks out. Oh, this is, I was watching Stropic Dunder and there was this asshole behind us who was just talking to home movie, then he got on a cell phone. He was just talking like he was obviously doing it to be a distraction And I just got fed up and I told him to shut the fuck up And then he like reach over and started to like tell me how he was gonna hurt me kill me

And I just didn't say anything. I was just like whatever whatever whatever he sat there for a while and then left And then after I was leaving the theater all these like like overweight dudes came up to me and was like man I totally had your back dude. It was terrifying. When's the last knowing those? Why? Why? Yeah I don't know that that's that's the I can't say like the people who were like point out the obvious thing like we have that story of like Independence Day or like people behind this were the giant spaceship came over the White House and they're like those are the aliens like I get you have to say that out loud like it's like are you are you tipping in the rest of the audience in case they weren't make sure everyone's ahead of the curve and so what's going on and I

have it in every fucking movie I totally understand that I'm all for that I don't know if I ever told a story in the podcast but one of the first dates I ever went out with my wife. We went to see, um, God, we went to see, it was a terrible movie, but we went to see the bewitched remake with Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman. And, um, I got fucking drunk before we went to the theater, and then like, I snuck some bottles of Coke with Jack Daniel, some Jackie Cokes into the theater, and I kept drinking. And the movie was so terrible and people were laughing at it, and I turned my to Esther who I was dating at the time to go why the fuck are these people laughing? This is awful and I've really got really belligerent like making fun of people for laughing at the movie and enjoying it That she had to drag me out of the theater Everyone wanted to pick my ass was this associated with that surgery story? No, no, totally different, but are you sure?

Did you guys see aliens in the movie theater? Aliens, no, I did see aliens in the movie theater. All right, there's no way I could've seen that in the theater and not yelled at the screen. When that guy is walking into that giant space with all the pods, and you're just like, no, like turn around. Why are you getting closer?

It's opening! It's opening! I remember everyone groaning, which that's an appropriate, like you everyone could groan. That makes sense, you know, but or even at that moment for that movie, like turn the fuck around and get the fuck out. That makes sense. That out of every movie that's ever been released, that has to be the most yelled at moment ever. Yeah, there was there was the first one that was pretty bad. I was like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. So Gourney Weaver walks in but she knows what it is. She walks into the room and like she walks No, no, no, no, no, she's like maybe it's different this time. Oh wait. No, no, they're starting to open Well, maybe the opening is different this time. Well, maybe I should get a closer look and what is the first guy thing? He's gonna find treasure He's just gonna reach in there and grab a bunch of gold and jewels like the goose that laid the golden It's like the alien that laid the golden turd or maybe a virgin just pops out Quite a good virgin sound like.

It's a very happy. So, we should talk about New Zealand. You guys went to Australia, New Zealand. We went to Melbourne. Melbourne, Australia, New Zealand. And New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand. And Brandon and Bernie went to a pony cabin together. We did go to a pony cabin together.

We did go to a pony cabin. And Bernie the whole time, we was like, yeah, Bernie was like, you should come to the pony cabin with us. It's like, it's very romantic. We have a fire. It's like, I don't want to go to the pony cabin. No, it's surprisingly relaxing.

I'm just sure. You go to bed at 8 p.m. She's the downside. You lost me there. We were in Cambridge. No, I know, but yeah. We were in Cambridge and I was asking like Ladies there Cambridge that's in New Zealand

Yeah, is it not called Cambridge? I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a name. I just say really close to us And I was asking them oh, what do you do at night? Like what's the nightlife? What do you go? And there's like There's a pub right there There's a pub right there full of big New Zealand dudes, so really APM is just, let's just wait for them, wait for the morning. It is an incredibly, incredibly beautiful country. It's an incredibly beautiful country. It smells nice. The air is gorgeous. The country's gorgeous. It was just unbelievable. Very gorgeous air. It's like Malibu. It's like the whole country is Malibu. It's gorgeous because it's so far away and so difficult to get to.

People have not flocked there and ruined it yet. Right, exactly. It's funny you say flock, because there was like flocks of like parrots and stuff. All the animals there were happy fluffy animals. There was like, there's no snakes. It's like the polar opposite of Australia. Yes, like, it gets more like, it's so weird, right?

Killer animals go. You definitely see the impact though on the community because you ask people in from Auckland, oh, how do you like it here? How do you like it here? And you know, they like it, but a lot of them are just kind of like, you know, small, there's not a lot to do.

So it's like the consequence of having basically a reserve with the whole country. Right. Because they have dogs that don't sniff for cocaine they sniff for food Like literally a dog jumped on a backpack. I think all don't the security guys came in there like man You have any food in here and like all the All the stand-ups they have are just guys like security guys holding apples being like don't bring any fruit in that was I got I got adjusted to a

security in New Zealand in Australia very quickly, because it was sort of like, come through the metal detector, I have metal. That's okay, just whatever. They just, so, it's so easy. What's the not care? One time when I was in Australia,

I was fine from Melbourne to Adelaide. And like it's like you said, like I was in there, there was no one really manning the metal detector. You know, I walked through and they like, no one even looked at me I knew I knew I was back in Los Angeles I knew I was back in America when we landed back in LA in the terminal at LA X and within five minutes of being back on US soil

I got yelled at for standing in a no standing area There's a like it's like you can't stand there. I'm like waiting for Brandon to get through like a security It's like on the other side of security guys like you can't you can't stand there That's not for standing. It's just immediately. Oh back in America We should we should give like a shout out to like every fan who came by and saw us and we should give a shout out to cool Katie who ran an amazing event in Australia at Melbourne That was great. Yeah, it was also the guys in New Zealand rank,

a really good event too. But yeah, definitely the event in Melbourne was great. Yeah, it was at a bowling alley with a giant, giant liquor bar. Oh, that was multiple. It was in Crown, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was in a casino.

So that's a big thumbs up there. I think if you kind of plan an RVB event, do an casino. I've been there. That's like they have a bowling alley, a laser tag, a giant arcade, and there's bars everywhere, and then you can go upstairs and gamble. Yeah, I volunteered, or I was volunteered for a laser tag and I placed second, which I feel is good,

because it's like you do well, but you're not, no one, no one, you're the American. You gotta shoot that shit up, dude. No, you gotta get that shit laser pregnant. Did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, uh you're the American you gotta shoot that shit up dude No you gotta get that shit laser break did you did you There's a break the course did you break the gun? There's no honor finishing first in a laser tag Like the gun at the end and like America Fuck yeah who faced first

Um guy on my team actually so we couldn't actually face off against one another. What was his name? Um, I don't know all the characters are assigned like all your names are assigned their old video game characters Oh, that's another reason why you don't want to finish first. You don't want to be that guy that's king of the Laser tag nerds What's wrong with you? I was second though. The hell's wrong with you be second somehow better I don't understand what you're saying you and got people and you're making fun of them for you You gotta make some sort of numbering value system. Yeah, let's go on. No, I'm not sure if this is a rational or whatever. I'm just saying I'm a part of it. I'm

obviously part of the video game nerd, but I don't want to be like, I don't want the spotlight on me. I don't want the people to come out, you know, I have a laser tag match and they're all like cheering and I don't throw in roses. I remember I first one to come out and cheer for the guy who finished first. It was close, it was little. It was mild applause. I'm done. No, if I'm going to go in, if I'm going to take my time to play this, I'm going to fucking dominate. If I don't come in first, there's no point.

I had a friend bring a fucking prism into a laser tag game one time and ruined everything for everybody. What does that do? I think he shot the one in rhythm, but he shot it in the shot around corners and just taking people out. And it worked. I mean, really? Yeah, I don't know. This is in the 80s back when laser technology

was as early stages, it could be manipulated by prison. And prisons were cool. And prisons are cool. Everyone carried around with them. In case you're losing a laser tag game, breaks out. That's right. In truth, I tried to play it cool, but I was really, really trying to win.

It's gonna be like, yeah, yeah, I don't even care. I wasn't even trying. I could first. But I didn't even know there was, Lee. I wasn't here. I was drunk enough to not know what was going on. Just, I learned an valuable lesson when you get to an event. Immediately tell people that they cannot buy you drinks. Because I kept getting drink after drink after drink And I didn't want to be rude and I even got a jack and coke and I hate I hate whiskey

That text message on his phone Brandy got wrecked oh Give me an ABC shot and the a is absent and I've no idea what the B&C is but I bailed I was literally pleading with the bartender help me you'd a stop They're gonna kill me. Well absence was in a shot. Yeah, that was a pretty shot. You shouldn't do that. Yeah Absence yeah, it's really fine isn't that like it's illegal in the United States. I feel like it's like water down Yeah, it's water down essence. Yeah, I don't think you would lose an aid But I mean it smells like I don't like absence because it's like it's watered down essence. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think you would loosen it, but I mean, it smells like a heart. Well, you're trying to hear enough.

I don't like absolute, because it's like, it's got that a niece taste. It reminds me of like licorice. And I fucking hate that taste. I can't taste anything after that. But you kept serving liquor. There was a research study done saying that women are subconsciously attracted to the smell of black licorice.

Yeah, I fucking see. It's the number one on the list. Well, I'm obviously not a woman then, because I fucking hate licorice. I fucking hate black licorice? Yeah. I fucking see it's the number one on the list. Well, I'm obviously not a woman then, because I fucking hate licorice. I fucking hate black licorice. It's disgusting. So I have some black licorice, oh, I fucked up that joke.

Liprice is funny. Black licorice, pubic shampoo. I felt, see, that joke would have killed if I would have nailed it. The Gus Gus was waiting to laugh. I didn't even want to get into the story because I felt um bad bad about uh Brandon and and Bernie. No fuck it. Do it because um they were uh they were basically flying economy on the way out there and I basically wasn't flying economy. And uh like I was here at the

chairman or you were in business or perhaps three hours, five hours, whatever. It didn't matter. We had a 17 hour flight in front of the Suits counting. We landed at the terminal at LAX and it was like Ellis Island. It was like we're flying out on that What was it the the a380 the oh you flew it a380? It was through yeah a3 out there and it was like the terminal It was like there were more people than there was terminal space. It was people just packed together just like shoulder to shoulder screaming kids It was just like awful. are you coming into it LA it's like out of it and it was just like utterly packed and I felt I felt bad for you guys I really genuinely felt bad for you guys we were talking I was like well maybe we can flop seats at one point liar but you sent me

text messages so I know I said it to you because you can from that back to me you sent me a test message and Sydney I know I said it to you because you can from that back to me. You sent me a text message and Sidney saying, well, can we flop that seeds? Remember that? It's never happened. I had the text message. I was trying to stay face. I had the text message. Well, I'm not trying to stay face because that was my really, there was no fucking way

I was going to flop. I mean, I guess I dropped a vikin and then felt bad for you. I dropped a vikin and it's like some stomach medication, which realized at the time I also had a beer or two and all of them were like get all water out of Joel. So I literally took like 20 bath or I had to go to the bathroom like 20 times but anyways we're in Ellis Island with shoulders shoulder we're just utterly crowded today. Matt you come back here. Matt just looked in. You come back. All right, so you're in Elvis Island.

And so they're like, well, they're boarding business class. You should just go ahead and like, oh, all right. So I go, what is this class? And I go through the line, I go through the line. It's like a separate entrance for the plane. They have two entrances. And I go to my own entrance and I'm the only one there. And I go into this hallway.

It's like a white lit hallway with like panels that are backlit It's like it's like four or one like it's like going to heaven and no it's like going to heaven No one is there. I'm the only one. It's like you go for utter chaos You walk five feet. It's like serenity. It's like serenity. There's no one there I'm just like walking this long hallway. No one's there and I'm like all right Then there's like this winding staircase that goes up up I follow the winding staircase and take me to another hallway at the end of the hallway there's five dudes at the entrance of the plane there's two dudes on each side of the plane and the guy standing

in the middle I'm like I just walk up to them like um hi this is like guess come to me sir my phone light this is your sir who's been assigned to you exactly you can't reach you don't be all flight surf. I can't I couldn't tell you do they bring me they bring me to my chair I wasn't a chair like it was in the chair wasn't chair. It was like it was a pod It was it was the pod that Darth Vader came out of like the second Star Wars There's even like hydraulic steam they had like I just can't describe to you like I had the panel and they had a back massager and there was like 20 buttons for like I could like the distance between the front of my chair and the aisle in front of me I Couldn't touch it. It was just like it was so it was it was the most surreal thing I'd ever seen They're like well sir. Would you like to put a menu a premium?

So I've had these free menus and sat in the other thing and I'm and it was like it well sir, would you like to throw out a menu, a pre-many? So I've finally had these pre-many isn't the satin the other thing. And it was like, it was the greatest thing ever. I mean, I was able to sleep during the flight because I'm insane or whatever. And then our plane ran out of gas. Oh yeah, there was the out of gas incident. And so we had to land in Sydney, and sure enough, that's when I got the test message from Ben. And he's like, so, do you want to flop out now?

Were you like in a middle seat or something, so, do you want to flop out now? Were you like in a middle seat or something, Brandon or did you like that? Oh yeah, they didn't let us leave the plane when we got to sit me. No, we were sitting on the tarmac the whole time. I genuinely thought for a second, I was like, okay, maybe I should try and go flop out when those guys, as good, you know. And I look back and I'm viking it end out at this point and like the whole whole way is moving like all I see is like the hallway going infinitely back along with the staircase

going down I guess you were on the first floor on the second floor I think there's no way there's no way I would really find you I mean there's just no way we had an omelette that was that was neat they probably wouldn't let you flop out anyway well that that's not not to, yeah, I mean, it was I was scared and pumped full drugs. And I didn't know what was happening. I thought I thought I died at one point. You did the right thing, Joel. I mean, it was, it was great, but it was funny because the whole trip and the back of my mind thought, well, no matter what happens to me, I have that trip backwards. It's going to be awesome. And then we did

not get any 380 on the way back. It was not like that. It was because of you that quantissette that labor dispute and y'all were stuck there for a while. I know. Yeah, we yeah, we told you that stuck there and that's the thing the flyback was totally different, right? It was like I did we didn't get the plane. Yeah, Joel was like that's that's not the right plane. Do they know that it was going to be on the wrong plane? I was like a thing. What was it? It was a 747 on the way back. It wasn't even that. It was like a, it was definitely an air bus of some sort,

but it was like a, so I was like, that thing's not gonna get across the Pacific Ocean. Wow. We were worried that it would get like two. It was like, do they not have their 18? Do they have like the interns there? It was like just like grab a plane. It was really bad.

Yeah, I mean, we already got hit delayed by a day because the quantists lock out like, we were like, I think we're one of the few people get affected by that actually but and then we landed in LA it was horrible they were shouting at us immediately and then we had like an eight hour layover I was like no fuck that we're not gonna do that let's go to the airline and get a earlier fight and they're like well we haven't earlier flight but you have to fly to Dallas and then from Dallas you fly to Austin and you get there an hour earlier. I was like, well, we should do that.

And so I lost my status and whatever we flew back there. And then we get set on the tarmac for an hour because the plane was broken. So we wanted to missing our connecting flight and Dallas. Like we missed it, but they didn't tell us to miss it. One of the trams was broken and Dallas. So it was, of course, it was on the other side of the terminal. We land in A, it's in C, it's like we land, run, run, run, run, run, all the way across. And then we get there, and it was like, oh, you missed a flight, but it's like there's

another flight at the other gate, if you go back, we're going to go back. We're just like, it was a nightmare. The flight takes off at 920, it's 915, and she's like, well, you should have got here 20 minutes early, and I was like, I just told you, we just land in. Like, you know, they're just so rude. I got into a shouting match once at a an airport like that like I was running to catch my flicks It was a tight connection and I could see them closing the gate, you know from distance I was like don't close it don't close it and I like ran up and the woman started yelling me like why aren't you here?

There's like I was fucking delayed I got your spasms like you can read it in their eyes You know like the second we walked up they already had that yeah, you're fucked Yeah, they're just staring at you know, blinking they and they know you're fucked. There's nothing they can do about it The funny thing uh one of the quantus guy said when he was re-boking us is complaining about people who came up and shout who was shouting at him And he's just like you know southwest airlines trains people that if they just bitch and moan They'll get whatever they want and southwest doesn't fly internationally, right? It's just a regional airport in the US. And for some reason, they're rep. I can tell you, already, anyone who's new to travel,

I think it's true. I don't think you gain anything by yelling at it. No, you do not have her. In fact, you lose by yelling. You lose, they will purposely screw you. Yeah, being nice goes along. Yeah, that's why I've learned through extensive travel. Yeah, there's no question, but sometimes when they screw you, it's just like, well, it's gonna feel more good just to scream.

Yeah, but if you know it's a foregone conclusion, sure, that's your thing. But I find that it never works to do that. No, no. You and I, it works with everything else though. I wish we'd just stayed in LA, Joel got us in some, you know, super secret high class. Nice this area of LAX, we would do with some admirals club, whatever it was nice. Which was it in the American Airlines Terminal Terminal 4? I don't know where it was. Probably was, I don't know, I don't know where it was. I totally lost my bag during this process. So I don't know, it was all very confusing.

There's a bunch of people on their cell phones, acting important, making deals, canceling contracts. It was, we had like a Bloomberg terminal. There was a boxing. A boxing terminal. Before it was right. Yeah, like a Bloomberg terminal is like an actual active like computer with a TV and everything is great.

Wow. Yeah, that was awesome. That's crazy. So, then how's England? You already talked about England so far? I talked about it a bit. How's Gavino and Ben? They're great.

They're great. We didn't get merchandise which sucked. And I think I already talked about that. That really sucks, especially if you were like a fan and you wanted to come out and maybe get, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if it's easy or hard. It's just wanting to get a signed piece of merch. Well, it's, I don't know. I don't know if it's easy or hard. It's just one to get assigned piece of merch.

Well, it's difficult to get merch in the UK anyway, because shipping can be expensive. And then like having to pay for VAT as well, really increases the cost stuff. So, you know, we thought it'd be a good way to get people stuff. And of course, fucking custom screwed us to. And then you had to like probably tell the story about 20 times about how we weren't able to get merch. Yeah, it sucked. Are you willing to reveal the game you were playing in

the booth or is that still? Is that what's playing a game? All right, I think it was going on. It was people people brought us a lot of liquor. We got a lot of scotch. Somebody brought us little vials of vodka. They look like, you know, how when you go to the doctor and they like put the needle into the like that little container for the shot and they like suck it up and they give you the shot. They brought us that little container but it's filled with vodka and scorpion. Oh no one brought us alcohol. No. I got like three bottles of scotch, a bottle of gin, a bunch of little scorpion vodka things. I'm wrong. We

did one awesome fan brought alcohol and Melbourne but what kind of alcohol was it? It was what was it was scotch nice which was great but we didn't get any in New Zealand like even at the panel we're so spoiled it's now to the point where at the panel I just started demanding alcohol from the audience are like ha ha ha no no seriously like the panel the panel doesn't turn on the panel has to turn on it requires liquid. I talked about this already also, but at New York, Comic Con, they sold beer in the convention center. Like you can't leave your booth. You could go to where they sold the food, pick up a beer and then take it back to the booth. It was fine. Yeah, they did have a full bar in New Zealand. Yeah. I mean, compare

that to like Boston where I almost got fucking arrested for drinking a beer on stage. They also got a, yeah, what the,... Yeah, we had to get these liquor rules. Yeah, the United States is fucked up. They also had a roller coaster in Auckland, an obstacle course that was actually made by the military there. That's the way to recruit people, like invade any inflatable countries. So it was like this big fair. They had a burning man.

It was fun. Like it was definitely like a really cool experience. And it was huge. It was really, really huge. Nice. Yeah, it was pretty big. And we got the picture taken with the F-501st or whatever, which is a nice, that was cool.

Yeah, we put that in the front page of the website. Yeah, I realized looking back at that picture, Brandon was incredibly hungover, and I was a little hungover as well And I didn't even know what was happening at the time, but how long did it take you all to get used to the jet lag We all fucked up for a long time down there. I got used to it about the time was on relief. Yeah The first day Joel and I we really wanted to go to one of the events with barbecue and I planned to I put alarms and then I woke up and it was 3am. You know, pulling me in, yeah, I mean at that point, I remember the day before I left I said,

I'm gonna stay up the whole day, that way I'll force myself to sleep on the plane and then I didn't sleep on the plane. So it's like, I've been awake for like 48 hours. You're like double-foss like, yeah, there's no way. And after the stop in Sydney, it was about 26 hours of travel. Yeah, yeah, there's just, there's no way. That's exactly right. I was going to try. I was like, just text message me and it's like, I'm just going to lay my head down on the pillow. Missy, I'm just going to close one eye. All right. I'll just close the other eye. That's it. It's over. Yeah. You did. Yeah. So yeah, but that was tough. That was tougher than I thought or whatever.

But you know what? I got to you, the casinos over there, like all, like there's no craps. Oh really? Yeah, well there was some craps in Melbourne, they threatened to have craps. There were tables, I saw them, but they were never opened. There were definitely no craps in Auckland.

And like it's all automatic shuffling machines. So there, it's terrible, you can't, there's no point. So it's like a force to play, where would we play? Relate, we played, we played. Is it also like also like a like when it was giant decks like you can't see how many decks there They're dealing from it's just like an endless. Yeah, when it's when it's the automatic shuffling machine You get the giant wheel. I mean it doesn't matter. I mean you're it's over at that point, you know It's just screwed. Yeah, I don't know that's they got to fix that They're getting it taking care of

So those are the mad the countries are Warrable I think they're shitty automatic troubling machine. I was talking last week how I I went up so much Over there when I was at the casino and then I lost it all and then I got back I was just kind of like all right, you know, whatever I was only like a hundred fifty bucks and then I got my cell phone bill and I'm like fuck This could have totally paid for that. Yeah, it's like it just feels even worse International cell phone usage is looking worse. Yeah, the world of gambling It wasn't data that killed me data was fine. It was a

Fucking voice. Oh yeah, I can't believe you're using voice No, I got an argument with my girlfriend and it was like that's a cost this is the most of like that's the most expensive expensive Like can we are no world like Can we argue over Skype, please? Yeah, can we go home and you can just break a bunch of plates? That'll still be cheaper than what we're doing right now. Just keep my car. Just endlessly. That would be better. You know, I look back at my recent calls on my cell phone and all this is like these 20 long numerical digit lines. I gotta say, I'm really happy with, like I went overseas also was expecting to get you know really you know I was pretty much to pay a lot on my cell phone bill but with iMessage now in iOS 5 since I know so many people

with other iPhones like you don't pay it's just data it just sends it out so it's just like a couple bites instead of a text message it's so much cheaper. Yeah it's nice but uh Aura Eric who works at our distributor in Australia New Zealand who I can't say enough good things about His phone didn't do that like we were texting him and we were late the first day because he just fucking asshole Wasn't responding to any of my text messages even when I asked oh, hey, I heard you were going out tonight Let me know when you're going. I didn't say anything. I was like fucker doesn't hang out with me But no, he didn't get him. He didn't get the I messages even though my phone thought he would

So I had to switch over just to text messages And that that was about a hundred bucks worth of wow because I couldn't text everyone else You know when I when we got I had something weird happened when we got to London You know, we we got to Heathrow and the area that the event was in was like literally on the other side of London Like he throws away in the west side of London and our event was way in the east side of London So you know we get we get London is expensive. It's brutal we get, we get, we get, we get in a taxi and the guy's like, where you go? And I said, you know, Excel Center, Doclands, and the guy like stops and looks at me and

goes, you know, that's really far away, right? And I go, yeah. Well, that was really nice of him. I guess, I guess, yeah. You just want, yeah, he doesn't, he wants to make sure I have the money to pay him. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, yeah, I know, like an hour cab ride, you go, okay, I just want it. Yeah, it doesn't he wants to make sure I have the money to pay him I'm sure yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know like an hour cab ride you go, okay So we go and it takes like an hour and a half and it didn't stop costing 88 pounds Which is good bucks? Well less than I expected, but it's like 150 160. Yeah, oh 150 probably and

So it's like fuck that's a lot of money So then like the day before the night before we're gonna leave back to Heathrow I talk to the go to the front desk at the hotel and I'm like, Hey, is it hard to get a cab here? Because I'm gonna need a cab in the morning, go to the airport. They're like, oh, go talk to the transportation desk. So I go, okay, so I turn around and I go and just like, this desk, and it's like the transportation desk, and I tell the lady, I need to get a taxi to the airport in the morning. So, okay, what time? It's like 8.30. So I go, okay, just come down and we'll have a car ready for you.

It's like, okay, so like at the next morning, like 8.15, you know, the phone and the hotel room rings. So, like the car's here whenever you're ready. It's like, okay, that's nice of them. I get downstairs and they have rented like a Mercedes E-Class and they'd gotten a driver to drive me to the airport. And I was like, what the fuck? And I get in the back seat and the driver's like dressed in a suit and I'm like already the driver's in a suit and he's like there's bottles of water in the doors

If you want some is like would you like me to put the financial news on the radio? And I was like no, it's okay. No, it's like no, it's like this is good. I was like oh Fuck what did I get into one of my pain for here? So we're driving through traffic the whole time I'm hungoverish as fuck and I feel like tear I feel terrible I'm in the back of this cab we're in traffic and we finally get to Heathrow and like God how much is gonna cost me? I'm like all right that's 70 pounds I'm like are you serious? I was like okay, and I'm like how the fuck is this like 20 pounds cheaper than taking the taxi? Like I should I'm an idiot. I should have called this guy. Yeah, I mean that happens occasionally where I've noticed

Yeah, I'll get higher cars. It's just it's a better better deal. Yeah, I mean, like the taxi driver, nothing against him, the taxi driver, I took from the airport, would not shut the fuck up. Yeah. He was like talking nonstop, and it was awful, and this other guy, just quiet, put the radio on, whatever I wanted, and just told me where the water went.

I mean, it might be, cabs are designed for short distances, so their rates are based on what's profitable in order to drive people those short distances. So when you're actually driving far, it's astronomically expensive. That's a good point. If they were meant to drive that far It would probably be cheaper. And so you were calling somebody that was their purpose. It's you know Realistically price. That's it. That's an excellent point. I didn't think about it that way. I can drop a knowledge over there Yeah

So that's that's my word of advice to you guys if you ever go to England take the guy in the Mercedes He's cheaper. I'm gonna do that. This is so we don't work out. Yeah, you give his card No, I do not have his card. He's not a drug dealer so I didn't get it But I guess at the airport they have that too like I saw the sign when we landed It was like you know cars for hire over here or taxis over there I'm only going to the taxi line. I'm always torn because like in Vegas You've landed the Vegas airport and it's like all right You're gonna have to make a decision here because if you take the cab you have to walk to one side of the airport

Or if you're gonna take something that's a little higher than a cab you've to walk to the other side of the airport And it's like I don't mind. I'll take a cab But the problem is when you're in Vegas that effing line at the Vegas airport for a cab Yeah, that thing is a monstrous line. It's just like you want to sit there forever. When we went to New York, I did something kind of bad. We landed in New York and we had to take a taxi from JFK out to Manhattan to get to where our hotel was in the event was.

I'm still bummed I had to miss out a van. I really wanted to go to that. And we landed at JFK, we go outside and it's like you sit. The line for the taxi is fucking long. There's probably 300 people in the line. And there's like four taxis. Yeah, I was like fuck working to be here forever So I played dumb and I I went in the wrong side of the line by accident and I walked up to the front I was like, there's a line. I just jumped in and they were started yelling me. I was like go go go go See that's what I understand you can go on a tirade against

people on a plane who don't follow the cell phone rules which don't affect you they really don't but you screwed over 40 50 people that was definitely out of character for me but it was definitely no no no like I agree I support that decision it's a whole plane thing that's terrible my wife was my wife was she's like do we just cut the line I was like no actually like we did didn't we did you open the window and just like get outside of it and just be like I don't know what you're talking about Yeah, that's terrible. I ran into a problem the reason I sent Bernie the text messages because I was like Really messed up and I was worried about getting home is I got out of the casino And there's just not cabs right there. There's cabs

Brandon is young and so he doesn't realize like a lot of these trips like oh, hey, yeah We're going here. We're doing that. We mean fans, but he's it realized man the cold hard fucking truth Of some of these trips is is like oh oh wait it's three in the morning I have no money I don't know where I am I don't I need heat and water I'm dying I mean I mean I can't tell you how many times I've been in a foreign country on a fucking red versus blue trip no idea where I am no money everything's totally fucked and I happened to me the first time in fucking London, dude. That was fucking so pissed about that.

It'll be so angry, man. It's so angry. You sound so ungrateful. I was so fucking in journal, Bernie made a fucking journal post where it's like, Joe wants to know we're all the tour destinations. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The tour destination is, I don't know,

where the fuck I'm going. It's like, hey, come, it's always the same thing. So once you do an email or it's like, hey, come to this country, do this. It's like, oh, come, it's always the same thing. So once you do an email where it's like, hey, come to this country, do this. It's like, oh, okay. And it's just like, then you get left out in the wind. So when I was leaving this hotel, tons of drinks that absence shot,

horrible. And I was like, I gotta get home. I gotta get home. And you understand what your rate of decay is basically. You know how far you're gonna drop in five minutes and you're like, I need to be home in nine minutes or it's just not happening. I'm gonna wind up in the jail or on the street.

So I was like trying to find a cab and I could it. The only way I could get one is if I went in line across the hotel. So I go in line and I'm waiting there and that's when I'm like frantically texting Bernie because I was just like, I'm gonna fall over in this line. I'm gonna be completely passed out and I get to the hotel or I get to the cab finally I told him where I'm going and he's taking me there and my my heads on the window and I was just like are we there are we close are we close and he knows what's up so he's just like

speeding there and I just throw money at him and it was even less than he needed but he just told me to leave because he don't want to throw up in his cab, open the door immediately find a trash can and just follow me. And he's never been like sick in America where you're drunk out of your mind in a cab and you're trying to vomit. Imagine like, well now you're on the other side of the road. Don't know where you are. Don't know what the money value is.

In your drunk out of your mind, it's terrible. Like the compounding factors, like this compounding hear my it's terrible. Like the the compounding factors like this compounding complex. No, that's that's the thing. It's like what little tiny thing that I am not aware of that's totally gonna fuck me. I mean what is that one little thing, but you don't know what it is, it's a different country, there's gonna be one little thing, you're not aware of whatever it's told you gonna fight. You know, I shouldn't say anything because I totally did what you did in Australia on the trip where there was a bunch of lined up people to go to the bathroom. And I was super drunk and I was like, well, I'm not going to wait through this.

And I did exactly what you did, except for I, oops, I went into the women's bathroom. I just went in there. Oh my God. I went to that bar that's in New Zealand that has the, or in Melbourne that has the reverse blue shots and that they have a shot themed after i was super drunk uh... so i just drank the blue part of the shot and i just slammed the rest of it on the ground

i'm not drinking the rest of it no one got the joke i still don't know well i'm a blue guy so I'm Oh It's on the internet. We have a show. It's so funny. They probably wouldn't understand it because internet's like a rare commodity over there. Oh, it got into hotel room over there. Yeah, we spent a lot of money on the internet. A page pops up and is like, hey, would you like to use the internet? It's like, okay, I guess so. It's like, okay cool Do you want to just give me 50 bucks? I'll give you

Okay, here's 50 bucks. It's like and it's like and then like an hour later. It's like Hey, yeah, so you're using the internet there. You want to do you want to keep using the internet? It's like what? Like yeah, why don't you give me more money? You're getting shaken down by your browser. Yeah, yeah, and I totally and it's just like oh no You only paid for this much or no, we didn't realize you're gonna use that much at the At the end on the last day I got a page popped up on me that said yeah You've both violated the amount of data and how fast you can use it and now you owe us at least This much for breaking this rule and you owe us at least this much for breaking this rule. It's like What and then it cut the internet off.

I wasn't allowed to use it anymore. Yeah, what the fuck were you doing? Nothing. I was doing nothing. I was just like, you have to treat before they cut you off and I was like, you know, I was like listening to like financial bonkers and 7th-year-old. You know, basically call it now.

I mean, there's no, I mean, I told people in the museum, it's like, God, your internet to us is like, what it was in like 1995. Yeah, so it's like, can't use anything. They try to stay face by say, we won't charge you for more internet, but we're gonna just, we're gonna throttle it down. God, I should. We're gonna make this like it's a 20, what a 28-mortem.

I should take it a screen cap of that page because it was it was utterly ridiculous. It was like, I was waiting for like the police to bust out my door and drag me off to jail or whatever. And apparently, I guess New Zealand is apparently, they've got one cable that runs down the bottom of the ocean that connects them to Australia for their internet. I mean, it's like, that's awful. Yeah. But I agree that's a deal breaker.

Your entire country has a bottleneck. All the fan stuff was amazing. I don't think I've seen those nice and dedicated fans that any of the other cons I've gone to like every almost every fan We saw in the con that waited in line some of which that waited for an hour hour and a half was at what some of the fan events I felt really bad about that Well, it's good that you went to the fan events and hopefully they went there too and they go we were able to talk to you a little more Then when the line gets long I mean, I feel like such a like a jerk like I'm stroking my own ego here for saying this But it's like when the line gets super long you try to God, I feel like such a, like a jerk, like a stroke in my own ego here for saying this,

but it's like when the line gets super long, you try to work through it a little faster to try to keep trying to do so. And then you'll buy it. I'm thinking about the guy at the end of the long. The individual experience becomes watered down because you're so concerned about the length of the line. It's really a tough battle.

Well, but there was one point where I got really flustered because on Saturday, we had the con organizer standing across the table from us and he's like, well, you guys have got a we had the con organizer standing across the table from us and he's like well you guys have got a hurry because the con closes in an hour and the line was there was no way we were getting everybody it was like we just we got to move you know it's like yeah I'm sorry if you're there man yeah that's so tough there are some people that move from the line to buy stuff into you know get stuff signed and I felt like a dick just saying you know oh hey you have to go wait in that long line. Like we're not going to sign it for you.

But, you know, it's just tough. You're trying to treat everybody as good as you can, you know, but it's hard not to feel bad sometimes. But I think overall, I think it was, I think it was, it was astronomically awesome. I mean, especially in Melbourne, we had so many long lines all like about two or three days we were there. It was fun when we landed in New Zealand too, because that was the day after they hit one the rugby world cup. Yeah. It was just like, all I had to, this is why I got to float through security without doing a single thing. As all I had to do was go, um, and it was great. I've enjoyed watching the World Cup, and I'm glad that they won, but I was like,

Hey, congratulations on one of the World Cup. I was like, yes, yes, thank you. And they just let me through. Yeah, come on. Everyone was so happy. It was on. Everyone was so happy. The entire country was so happy. I've always seen French guys at the airport when we landed. And they were like walking through the airport.

And they were all dejected. You could tell they had the face paint makeup that they wiped off but hadn't wiped it all the way off. It was like behind their ears, still. I was so happy. The only thing you're missing was a tear. You're the best part. The best part.

It's my favorite part of sports is like the close-up on the fans of the opposing team that are losing. Like they had that... My wife was at the exact same time the other night. And then they had that close-up of that kid, like that eight-year-old at OU, who was crying, and then around it, like, became like a t-shirt.

So when you're directing live events, you have the director there who basically chooses which camera to take. He'll say take two, take eight, take nine. So you're gonna have someone making decision of what's the saddest thing? Yeah. It's always like, oh, like there's going to cry.

That's money. That's it, like there's the golden shot. The photographer is like searching the crowd, like what emotion, what a moticon, like this cool crying, that's money. That's it like this the golden shop. The operator is like searching the crowd like what emotion what a moticon like Find the orphans. Yeah God that crying kid was so good. Oh, it's so great man. It's just I love it. Mm. I don't other than that I don't think I can talk anything more about fucking Texas. So you this year. Yeah, that was brutal. That was brutal Sports you miss it you miss the entire world series. You're like such a huge ranger span dude that was that was also brutal That was also brutal. We feet we somehow found like little corners to find the game over there

And it probably come on like I've four in the morning or something for you. Yeah, well, it's funny Definitely came in on like nine in the morning when I was in Melbourne I was able to like catch some of it or whatever. In hindsight, I'm kind of glad I got away from it. I knew game six. That was it, dude. One pitch away. One pitch away from winning it. It's like when they didn't make it, well, this is over. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anyways, I'm sad now. It was, it was rough. We really know how to handle Joel.

It's just like, it was like, well, I'm just going to start drinking now. I'm not in the morning. I was like, I'm now a rugby fan. Tell you something about technology though, and how certain organizations are really embrace it. Our distributor, Eric, again, awesome, had the game on his iPhone. And he had it at the booth. We were just watching this game across the world on a magical little... I was in the boot. I'm just watching this game across the world on a magical little... I was in the show. Chuck, because it was like, again,

I was back at my hotel room getting splash screens or it's like, hey, do you want to live this page? You only cost you $10. And then it's like, I go back here and he's like, streaming the ball game on his iPhone. And it's like, well, that's going to be a million dollars. It's just cool to see certain organizations embrace technology and try to be at the forefront

instead of just like man I I wish I could I am not a fan of was it MLB TV or whatever? Yeah, I really yeah, I am that I mean it's been like it's more or five years in a row now They they I feel like they've screwed. Well, they they they do fucked up things like they're still subject even though you pay for it You still subject to blackouts. I mean it's local local Yeah, I'm in Austin, Texas, but yeah, I get every Texas Ranger game blacked out in Austin, Texas The Ranger is playing Dallas, which is three hours north of Austin, Texas. It doesn't matter I mean, I got the world series games blacked out. I mean last year the before that at least it's like the world series games were blacked out No, that's like that's shitty MLB signs those contracts, but you can't get away with not doing that in local markets.

Yeah, but he also should not be considered a local market for that. I mean, I don't know, I don't know. I don't want to hash out their whole way of doing things. Just to me, it's just like, just get it done. Just get it done. Yeah, if you pay the premium for them, then they'll be serviced.

You should be exempt from those blackouts, because you're paying the money that theoretically is going to be. I paid for it and it didn't work. And then I had to go through the laborious process of canceling it, which is a pain in the ass process. I mean, it's just like, it's just like the fourth or fifth year in a row that I've fallen for it.

And every year something comes up where it doesn't work. I mean, if I'm an awesome TV station, I get it, you know, if I can get that in the contract that people can't view it and they have to watch my station I do it. I mean but the the Rangers don't even air on TV down here. It's like they air on the weekends sometimes. Oh yeah. You can watch as you game. It's super fucks. I thought also was an extra short switch. I'd watch like the Spanish only station at one point in the range of your game. I was like, oh my god I'm just unspannishably That like that was I was lucky to get that all the amateurs are hot women with huge tits. It was better actually

I appreciate it. It's better. They had a good take on this board. I Don't know I'm bitter Yeah, all right. There's always a I don't know next next year didn't they almost go to the world series like two years ago or something They were really close they went last year when he lost your which of the world series last year lost in the world series I remember before I said they're going to the world's here Oh, I never said they're gonna win the world's It's very careful about my articulation there. I don't know now. I don't know decades of a Rangers expectations have set

there. I don't know now. I don't know. Decades of a Rangers expectations have set. Set your sights low. Every Ranger fan we're all on the same page. It's just like every second. It's just like we're all as soon as we're down or whatever we're the quietest crowd in baseball. Oh, that's it. We knew it. We knew it. We knew it. We saw it. We saw it. It's just like we went matter now. The team figured it out. We figured it out. We're hollow.

We're the paper tiger All right, well let's wrap this shit up because we actually have a super busy day As for you guys know that the talk we just had about sports is how much I've been able to talk about sports in the bullpen in the last month I mean if I get on the podcast I want to talk I should I want to talk sports. I want to talk the 10-year-tailing bond Other guys upstairs not not sports fans? No, every time I bring something up, someone always makes the joke. I think they should score a touchdown, like in baseball. Like, you know that joke. Right, yeah.

It's like, yeah. Those guys are assholes. Then you work with up there. I'm sorry to tell you. It's okay. So you get stuff done. Sometimes. Sometimes.

Otherwise it's being an asshole. Yeah, all right Well, let's wrap this shit up cuz I know everyone's super busy. We got a screening this weekend I feel like I'm forgetting my oh halo anniversary edition comes out next week and That's awesome Bernie and I will be at the Microsoft store at the gallery in Houston Monday night for the midnight launch of halo anniversary edition I believe that events like 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. I could be wrong, but so if you live in Houston, you should come out and say hi. We'll be there. I got to play it. It's pretty cool. Yeah, so to be fun game should be should be a lot of fun. And I guess I think that's the only thing we have coming up.

We just have to get it We have it. I mean we don't have it, but we have it a form of it exists So many I was drunk at the table and the fam will walk up and go hey, can you do a caboose thing?

It's like well, I can't but I can't as I'm holding the poster that has all the caboose quotes like I can't quite remember any Oh, do you have a reflex caboose line that you go for whenever people ask for it? I do I do what is it reflex? It's a Sheila come back to me. You know what mine is was yours. That's an excellent idea sir I'm sure someone said it a million times. I'm just like Simon that or yes, sir Yeah, just because I can never think of other sims like you say when I put on the spot. I'm like I was what's your favorite line is when I always ask him No, I'll say whatever.

And one of the feature acts, we actually ask the whole cast, what their startup line is when they're in the booth. That was Gus' line, that's how he gets in character. Yeah, they're writing what's your character's line. I don't know, I shouldn't talk about it, Bernie hates my character. I'm dead. No, I never die.
