That was it was that cold play We just showed we got Bernie Jack and Joel in here. We just showed Joel the ending Melonakis Super Bowl is gay video right before we started the podcast scene that played then you played it for the theme song anything with the guitar I don't think you've never seen Super Bowl is gay can't believe that it's like a 10-year-old video no there's not it's funny because anything that any super popular internet videos are about 10 years old or whatever I'm not missed it it's funny because like he was looking at he's like man this thing got 400,000 views like no no probably that upload didn't and then

yeah I told him like any milox is got an MTV show based on that and was in movies he was in a waiting clearly I'm doing something was he also on the Jimmy Kimmel show for a while yes was yeah so before we get to too far into the podcast I got to bring something up I think he might have been so far back that he was on the man show no I think I think that was a different kid. Yeah, look, kind of similar build and look. Yeah, different kid. Yesterday, Bernie's bike got stolen from the bike rack.

From the bike rack in front of our office. Wait a minute. By someone in the office. Bernie has a bicycle. He had a bicycle. You have a bicycle? You had a bicycle? When did you ever use that?

I had a bike lock, too. So you bought a bicycle just to put it on the bicycle rack and look at it. So I've had that bike a very long time. Thank you very much. And what did you do with it? What's that? What did you do with it? He had it stolen.

No, I did you ever actually interface with that bicycle? I used to ride my row year a liar. I used to ride my bike to the office of Buda. Yeah, that's what I found. Oh, yeah, that's a lie. I know you did. I used to ride my row Uro liar. I used to ride my bike to the office of Uro. Yeah, that's what I found. That's a lie. I really did. I really did. So for some reason, do you remember that scene in the movie when Kermit the Frog is riding a bicycle? How does that happen? I don't think I look like Kermit the Frog in a bicycle. I look like the hair at the circus with the tiny little bit of the theater. That's what I looked like. Did I have the tinsel? Do you have like the tinsel with the hair? I circus with the tiny little I look like the tinsel

Do you have like the tinsel? I hope you have the little hat I have the frilled collar that's it to remember that far side cartoon where the bear escapes the tent is got that you have to look that up and link it It's the far side cartoon is only a couple of the far side cartoon where the bear escapes the tent The far side cartoon where the bear escapes the tank So someone stole Bernie's theoretical bicycle. Let me tell you have a day begins The day began as the day always begins on Monday with our Monday meeting where we just go over everything in the company We're gonna go over the book by sickle being so got you want to talk to us about what's going on tech?

Joel do you want to talk to us about it's going on tech? Joel, do you want to talk to us about what's going on? Contract work, jacked everything with achievement hunter? Nope. One of the general things that we have, it wasn't really asking you, you just fucking demonstrate. I'm saying, that's what I say after yes. It is pretty much the achievement hunter guys always go, mum, mum, videos. We're cool. Pretty much. We're good, don't worry about us. And then people worry about us. Anyway. And we're very worried about you. It is nice to know that it's an intervention for you. That Michael Jones, aka Ragequit, does exist at 9 a.m. on a Monday. Because I wasn't sure until we had the meeting to that actually, it was the case that he would exist.

So you're saying he's still your bicycle. So one of the sections of the meeting is where you say thank you to everyone. And then the other section where we had to gay section of the meeting. And do you not like that? I'm just trying to open it up. I think it it's enough. No one thinks him. That's why no I'm gonna start thanking you every one day. I Will you talk about? Have you ever taken that opportunity to thank anyone else at the No, no, it's thankful for something they did for you

I have a new strategy now for when Joel tries to talk over me. I don't know if you've noticed I stopped. I'm done I have a new strategy now for when Joel tries to talk over me. I don't know if you've noticed. I stopped by him. I'm done. Right. So it works. All right, so what happened? Yeah, because he'll stop.

Yeah, no, he's asking him to continue. I've never seen him before. That's cool. It's like driving a car. You get to know how to be finesse. It is the way I drive, because I hit the gas pedal and lay off and hit one zero, one's and zero's. All right, go ahead.

Yeah, thank you. You're giving permission, but you know, the mighty Joel even ruler of the podcast. So I had to go out to I was not on the podcast last week as I had to go to LA and I flew out here on Sunday and I came back on Thursday or wait late Wednesday night. So Sunday I'm in here. I come into the office because we're doing some special voice recordings for season 10 of Red versus Blue available soon from regit.com. So I coming here on Sunday to print out the sides, the scripts for the actors to take them to LA. And sure enough, it's fucking Sunday, Gus.

It's Sunday. And I come in here and my goddamn printer, there's a stack of papers on top of it that are just printed with garbage, like computer characters, ask you random, ask you characters. And there's like 50 pages of that. So somebody's print job ran a muck. So what was their solution? And then they left it there. They left it there.

Yeah, they left all the stacks of paper there. And what was their solution to their print job running a muck? The printer was turned off. Then the printer was unplugged. Then the power cord was unplugged from the printer and set next to it, which I had to find. Oh my God. Then they dismantled the wireless connection that I have to the internet for the printer

Do I I wanted to fucking choke a bitch? I could not I still know I know same thing Have no one get a pest of that. No, no, no, we could figure this out because Ink for that printer is so expensive not many people have it installed on their computer Ah, I think besides you the only person who has that printer installed on their computer sits upstairs in Joel's old office in the corner back there. Uh oh. Yeah, people print out. And her name's Nadie Vaughan. I think we can narrow down. And she also brought a new bike. I said in the name. I run a drawer bike.. I'm right up. I said, I'm right up. If you're gonna, if you're gonna dismantle,

because we've all dealt with this, right? We've all dealt with this problem of, I was, I was also in California. Yes. And I also came back, and I also came into my office, and every piece of hardware in my office was picked up and moved three feet to the right and dropped. Joel, why do they do that?

And then, and there's all this stuff, everything's picked up, moves right, and then there's like a lens cap. And you know, and you know there's like, there's a kind of whistle lens cap to the camera. Did you know where the lens cap is? It's in my office, that's where the lens cap is. It's always in my pocket.

It's next to the tripod and plates. We gotta resolve this, we gotta resolve this problem because anytime we go to do anything in this company, we have to reinvent this. This is every time. Every time I come back from out of town. It's like, I come back, it's like, what direction did they pick this time?

When we did the, you know, when we were doing video podcasts, after the first video podcast, we'd bought a couple of Canon T3i's for that. And after the very first podcast, I was putting everything back together. I was like, okay, where's the lens cap for this T3i? And they're like, what, what?

Brand new is like, what? I was like, the lens cap for this. Where is it? I don't know. I was like, you just fucking took it off. Like an hour ago. Like, I had put it right here so I wouldn't lose it. Oh, God. You had moved it. Where is it? Well, this gap is the only thing in the entire world I try and keep track of because I know that's the one thing that's always going to get lost. As if on cue, here's Brandon. Well, I brought him down because we actually just went through this. You can attest to this whenever we have a visitor in the office, usually like what's you're going to do, like a story honest with a video component,

where they're going to record us, you know, making red versus blue. It takes an hour for us to set up and actually shoot red versus blue because the setup has been dismantled. It's always when there's cameras going down. But here's the thing though, it's almost a good thing. Like I'd almost rather show up and have everything being blown up Versus you come you sit down everything looks fine But then you go to do something and it doesn't work

It's like a movie track and then you have right then you have to go through and like go through the cables What do they what's unplugged? What's moved? It's a better. It's totally dismantled the worst part is when you you're you're like Oh, yeah, I know everything set up. I know and you're like, you know You don't preempt it at all and then all of a sudden you run into problems and you're just like, there's no way you can cover it up. You're just like, uh, I swear this is never happened. We just had this the other day. Just the other was a Friday. We had a kid from Make a Wish here. Yeah. And he was, you know, just spending the day in the Rushi office. He was a red versus blue fan. So part of it was we put him in the booth and recorded some

audio with him. Then we sat down to shoot some red versus blue man. It took 45 Fucking minutes. We had retarded problems though. Sometimes audio waveforms just weren't showing up like in it Unexplainable. It's just like oh no, it's good though because if you're a kid or whatever and you come to the office You're like well, I want to know what it's like. Well, you know what? That's what it's like. It's like where's the cable? Where's this thing? That doesn't work. Why does this not work? Right? Hang on one second. Let me go here. You go over there. I have it. And the answer you always get from someone too is you say why did you dismantle my stuff? Why did you move everything? It's usually it used to be a hole in me. It used to be the worst man. It wouldn't be the worst offender of this. But it's always saying man, it's always like oh I was just trying some stuff. Don't fucking try

anything. Don't try anything ever. We need a room where people go to try stuff and you can break whatever you want to neck God damn room. Take all of our old computer equipment, just sit there. You're gonna find out who messed up your printer? That's what we have to start it. That's how to start it. So we said in the meeting, to bring this all back around,

I said in the meeting, look, somebody dismay on my printer, almost made me late for my plane for these very important voice recording sessions, I said in the meeting because I could see people like starting like kind of like perk up, I said in the meeting, because I could see people like, certainly like kind of like perk up. I said, I don't want to know who did this. I don't want to know who dismantled my printer.

Oh. Because if I find out, I'm going to be very sad. But you did find pieces of your bicycle in the printer. The same fucking day. If I said don't dismantle equipment, don't be respectful. If you dismantle somebody's equipment,

at least email them and let them know Somebody decided that my bike out front was theirs And they cut the fucking lock off it my kryptonite lock they cut it off my bike I didn't know is that easy to break those locks. I didn't know either That was the whole point It's just like they're so deliberate That was the whole point That is just like they're so deliberate somebody cuts the lock. It's a crypt it's a kryptonite lock But Superman can I do anything? Yeah, but normal humans who aren't but a Dremel forget about it. It's like I can't do butter

Clearly they should rename the party. This is karma for talking so much shit about that bike rack Like months after we got in the building. No, it's not it's really not. It's really not I didn't deserve to have my bike locked. No, no, no, no. Let me let's be honest. You probably did deserve it. I did. No.

Yeah, anytime anyway. You deserve it. Like 20%. No, my God. No, no, no. But so basically someone stole your bicycle. They did. And then this company stole my bike.

What do you know is an employee of the company? Because she did it. Don't we did it? Oh, oh, it's so we do know who it is. There's Kevin. We, we, we Oh, so we do know who it is. We saw it yesterday afternoon. Why? She wanted a bike.

So she just cut the lock? She cut the lock? Had she had someone cut the lock? She wanted a truck. She delegated the lift of the bike. That's called racquetere. It's organized crime. That's called racquet here. That's right. That's right. It's organized crime. Yeah, it's like a pyramid. Yeah, somewhere the idea has a bulletin board with her picture at the top and a red line drawn to be coon.

So where's the bike now? It's in the back here. Let me explain to you how you can tell Kathleen, even though she's worked with us now for nine years, how you can tell she's the newest employee of the company working in the office. I said to her because I feel really bad about this That I stole your bike that I cut your lock. I'll buy you what that's the first one Feel like that feels bad. Don't feel bad about it. Don't feel bad. Have a party She gave us 20 minutes on the podcast She I said why why did you take my bike and she said I She goes I didn't think it was anybody's bike. I thought it was just their spare bike.

And I said, who told you that? And she said, Monty. So Monty, if you go to Monty for information as to what's going on outside of what's on Monty's desk, you're not gonna get a right answer. We had a birthday, like we, we saying Bernie happy birthday with a cake and everything last week because it was your birthday.

And literally like five seconds for Bernie walked up to see this cake lit. Monty walks up, there is a cake with candles lit on, he goes, what's going on? And then Bernie walks up behind him when he wants to sing it. But anyway, it was pretty great. It's a fucking funeral. Okay, so it's that's why it says happy birthday on the whiteboard and here there's those fucking balloons. You didn't know it was a birthday last week? Oh, you were out. You were in LA or yeah, I was with you on my birthday.

Yeah, I didn't hear I don't know. I've known this guy fucking 14 years. I don't know what you got there. My birthday's easy. It's one number. That is true. It's February 26th. Is it the same as your tax rate? No, thank God. Guess and I had a conversation about his tax rate earlier. I guess you can find this interesting. It was also Chris's birthday last week and Face cake and Nothing was really planned like with Bernie. We had him come out and everybody was there

Chris just showed up so no the day and was just walking up the stairs and glanced down to the kitchen table And he's like is that my face on a cake didn't even stop he just kept going up. It was like the most Everybody is a point head you guys head He just kept going up. It was like the most. He was a point. Had you guys, had you guys, even for him, it's like, it'd be like, it wasn't. It was a great thing. It was a crisp, crisp cake.

You see the Walmart? Had you guys been thinking things through clearly you would have stolen Bernie's cake. Seriously. That would have been, seriously, you can use a dremel to cut it. That had been awesome. I mean, it's just anybody.

I don't know what, we gotta stop the process of bringing cakes into the building anyway. Can we just stop bringing cakes? We got cookies yesterday. God, someone sent us cookies. Well, on our snack, shelf that's out there. They sent us cookies or they sent me cookies

from our birthday. No, they sent us, they sent Barbara cookies for a community manager day. I'm gonna be talking about that. Community manager day. All right, that's a top and western civilization. Community manager day. We do the point now and's that's a top and Western civilization. Community manager day. We do the point now and we need a day for community manager. I mean,

the hallmark declares it so be it. Yeah. What's what is definitely a more community? Invented position in the last 10 years that community right? Right. Social media marketer. And nine in social media. That's a great one. But it's the same thing almost. Pretty much. Pretty much. In the 90s, it would have been like Webmaster. Yeah. Webmaster actually did something, though. Yeah, but it was like invented.

Like, it wasn't out of Webmaster. If you said you were a Webmaster in the 80s, they would kill you. You're a Spider-Man. Well, no, you're on a cartoon. If you were Webmaster, probably. That was the, so we, I came to a realization the other day I want to complain about my cake with you know I can play about my cake real quick

Okay, I can play about your cake go ahead. So care about the cake. They got Chris a cake with his face printed on it It with the same birthday by the way and my birthday is same day as Muhammad Ali just you know in the future They couldn't find a cake big enough Nobody had had them they did Michael took a picture of me with Ray Brownman I'm not that tall, but I was just standing up straight for once in my goddamn life. So this cake they got me, Joel. They decided since I got Chris a fancy cake with his face printed on it, they would make me a cake with my character on the cake. They put caboose on it.

No! Yeah, no! Yeah, a caboose cake. That was the Mark VI helmet. It was at a Mark V. It was the wrong fucking color. That's the most important part. Insult to injury.

You're older and we don't like you enough to know about you. We should sit down. So who would you say was in charge of making the cake? It's Kara. I know. I know who got the screenshot because Kara didn't get the screenshot. It was someone gave Kara a file and said, take this and... I think someone just drew it at the place. It was a surprise.

I mean, what sort of conversation? I mean, if you're there, I mean, it's like, no, no, can you tell the chef that we need a mark five Work six only you've got this is a little too blue. We're looking cobalt Or ice yeah, so anyway, I really appreciate though They and everyone got me a really cool gift. They got me a framed Like set up of all nine seasons of rivers blue the DVDs and then was signed by everybody you guys guys Everybody you guys have the DVDs and then was signed by everybody. You guys guys guys, you guys made a cake.

Yeah, we forget about two of the first four characters in our dialogue in the series. You don't need them. No, he ever first. Yeah, all four. There's five people who started the dialogue in episode one or four people in episode one, they're not on there. Nope. Five people in the first five or six episodes.

Although probably at this point The job guys we are fantastic. You're Los Angeles Probably at this point we all know at each other's signature looks like at this point I have nightmares about it where I've I know exactly every nuance of your signature And you think is like I know when we get a DVD where your signature is going to be Yeah, I'm just gonna like plan it on the most whatever where your signature is going to be. Well, I'm just gonna like plan it on the most, whatever. I feel like everyone has like an area that they like.

Yeah, I do. Mine's bottom right. Growing. That's a fantastical. That's not the crotch of any poster. That's what you do it. It draws the eye. It's natural.

Your eye is naturally drawn to the crotch. It's like gravity. Yeah. I know why he's like. I gotta say I'm not happy with some of our guys signatures either I feel what what what what's the problem you have with that I have I might we might have the same problem you can read my signature you can very clearly read my name you can read my name mine's a scribble but then I write clearly under it my name as well here's your Monty's yes Monty's is the big O is like a son with the birds yeah and it. My name is Will. Hey, are you Monty's? Yes, Monty's is the big O is like a son with the birds. Yeah, and it's

well, his name. That's seriously, it's awesome. And pretty I'm pretty sure like Niko's is just sort of like a big penis, right? Isn't he goes like a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, scrotum and no, no, why Niko? We used to give him a hard time because he had that musical, it's a bass clef. It's a bass clef. He had a bass clef, that's the thing. I don't know.

I'm not gonna get the musician right. I'm gonna say Mozart, but Nico has a tattoo by Mozart. That's cool. I don't realize Mozart's been time tattooing. He's been a bass clef for a while. He's got to be more like a whiter. So, his tattoo has a bass clef,

I believe, somewhere. Is that a bass clef or a treble clef? I. So he's tattooed as a bass clef, I believe, somewhere. Is it a bass clef or a treble clef? I'm not a musical guy. It's not the treble clef. It's a bass clef, which is different than a treble clef. And completely different than the ampersand, even though when I draw it either one of them is like the same.

So what he did was he got an original composition by Mozart or whomever it is. I don't know if it's Mozart, but it's one of them. He got an original composition by Mozart. Or, you know, what are you saying? A fact, similarly, they're up. He didn't like to go out to an auction house and be $2 million. I was like, holy shit. And then he then had that traced, so it's Mozart drawing of a base cleft that was used, traced on him.

Tell me his backwards. Tell me his backwards. What is his boyfriend think about it? Listen to me listen me you cannot you have the worst tattoos of anyone I know I do but Nico doesn't listen to the podcast That's who's on that bad. Oh my god. They're pretty bad. He has a chance to tary tramp there is nothing well The Atari symbol is great. Maybe the location not as ideal It was an old I don I don't know if you remember it was an old contest we did on drunk gamers. I suggested it. Yeah, I was like, yeah, it was, uh, it was chosen by the internet. Really? It is, it is a rather weird placement. It is a, it's a weird placement. What was the only problem? What was the motivation for that? The internet chose.

The internet chose everything. Now, you of all people should know what, you must have been really drunk. I was trying to promote a fucking website. How did that go? It led to where we're sitting now. Hey! It worked. You know mine. Well, how many tattoos do you have, Gus?

Just two. Yeah, you have your blade neck tattoo. With blade neck tattoo. And embarrassment number one, and my Atari logo, embarrassment number two. Oh my God. I feel like I should get a cool one now to try to like to like to taste you from there, but I obviously have no idea what's cool.

So, yeah, you know, the internet, they'll tell you, don't worry. I would never do that. Well, I mean, everything's uncool. Let me just clear that up for everybody. Just in case it weren't, you know, if you get a tattoo and you're like, this is cool, 10 years from now, that can be cool. You can't win. Yeah, but he has a weird one though, because the Blade tattoo was very uncool,

but you must get down on that. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you.

I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you. I need you.

I need you. I need you. I need you. I need's on my neck neck. I was like just like in the movie. It's hair usually covers it, but oh Oh, when this hair's long. I don't know. I didn't even know what that reference. I don't know what that is Yeah, it's probably for the best. What do you want me to about it? I'm like, it's nothing Wait, Jack just said Jack just said that your hair normally covered your What you used to when I first met him is hair covered it. No, I don't think so. I went through a period at the old office Where I didn't have a haircut for like two years. Yeah, I got kind of long That's what I'm thinking. I don't know if it was long enough. You look like Darth Vader. What? We look like Darth Vader. Like a giant black helmet of hair. Let me tell you something.

The guy with the tram stamp tattoo should never talk about having a period. That's long to say. You don't have any tattoos. Me? No, baby. I'm clean. You don't have any tattoos. No, right now. I have any tattoos. No. No, I was gonna get a tattoo Nope, it was gonna be in binary and in binary who's gonna say if you can read binary Then that you know that you are reading that this is a tattoo that would be your entire arm That would be your entire arm. I'm part of the joke Well, that would be like the matrix. No, you have to make the ones as you're really small.

How many digits binary digits is a letter? Eight? It's eight, right? Yeah. So a lot of tattooing. Yeah. So the other day, you know, this has been this whole pump up about the mega upload shut down and packets then and And their CEO Kim dot com going to jail Kim both yeah, what happened there? What's going on with that? They got shut down and Kim dot com went to jail Did he go to jail? Well, I don't think he's in jail But I believe in New Zealand. He's been detained his passports and his credit cards have been seized now Is this the is this the same story as the guy from Pinkberry?

No, a little slightly different. Bum bum bum. And I was looking at these pictures and I realized that we didn't know this guy personally, but we used to look, visit this guy's website like years ago, probably like 13 years ago and make fun of him. Because he was a professional quick-toop or semi-professional quick-toop. Yeah, I read he was like a modern to or semi-professional quick to play I read he was like a modern warfare 3 like one of the top guys in the world. Yeah, well this is quick to predate some modern

Well, I'm saying now he still was He had this whole website that was just to stroke his ego It was pictures of him in front of like luxury cars and private jets like in all these exotic places around the world awesome He had commissioned like this flash animation of him being totally badass from the Matrix, like in sunglasses and a long dark trench coat. And I saw these pictures of him the other day. I was like, holy shit. I remember this guy.

We used to make fun of him all the time, like back in the ugly internet from Gamers Days. And now he's in jail? Yep, now he's a criminal. You know what, a file sonic got shut down, too. I don't think they got shut down. I think they just voluntarily shut down. I could be wrong on that one though.

But anyway, I guess as a result of all this, pictures of this guy's house came out to the internet. And it was fucking huge. I mean, you can make a lot of money stealing content on the internet apparently. He made 100 million pounds. So see, to me, at this $70 million approximately. At this point to me you're describing the short Asian guy that had those real estate commercials at like three in the morning.

It looked like one of the houses that that guy used in his commercial. I'm going to find a picture to show you. Dude, I am desperately trying to find that guy's original site. Like the pictures that I most remember was him standing next to the twin towers from Kuala Lampur Do you know the one? Yeah, the one like in the Sean Connery movie and all that yeah, huh in the Sean Connery movie I'm gonna say yes Who was that is the one with the girl who's married to Michael Douglas? Captain's a to Jim and trappin's and trappin'

There's the house holy shit That's not a house. That's like a Disney part. That's a compound. Yeah, that is a compound. He's got a fucking maze. He's got a fucking nature maze. Somebody made a joke about that maze. Somebody made a joke. He's the maze is like in the front yard. Yeah. And there's a door on the side. It's like that's for premium members and the maze is for

regular users. That's really funny that's a pretty fun workshop but uh yeah a hundred million pounds is what the guy made and we used to look his thing that site that he had before was all about investing with him and he had pictures of him in private planes this one of the pictures from his old website nice yeah he always wears black even when he's like on the beach yeah that's why it just flash animation to he was like all Clad and black we were always fascinating Wow, we were always fascinating and the site he showed him in all these like luxurious Like a young boss hog. Yeah, that's a good way to look at he's German. He's German. Yeah, and his name is Kim Schmitz

right something like that. Yeah, yeah, and Anyway, the site was all about investing with him and how he'll use his system and make you tons of money and all those Photos of him and all these cool luxurious locations But it never really described like what you were investing in anything like that at all It was just this was all I want to say late 90s stuff. Yeah, it definitely was you know It's like ripping somebody off in the mid to late 90s must have been The easiest time ever that was his flash Is that the guy from it? That's our tune.

What is it? Is that the guy from Vancouver? It's layered. No, he's not in any way connected to our site at all. I am going to, I'm trying to look this up right now. I'll try to find it later because otherwise I get lost in archive.org. But I'll try to find this site and see if maybe reference mean reference that we could be. That's a great picture like he's gonna present to you a girl with a yacht. He's also on the beach fully clothed like

yeah and and he's like he's like beyond us if you had that body wouldn't you be fully clothed at the beach too. That's true. Maybe so you know he kind of reminds me of in a weird way like he's like the evil version of Gabe Newell. Oh, the lady. Kind of, you know? I can see that, yeah. But apparently, I mean, I don't believe it. I never used Mega Upload, so I don't know, but apparently I guess some people are claiming that they were legitimate uses for that.

Yeah, like we had guys on our site use it, like that would send us videos, because essentially it was just a place, it was like a just a file drop where you could put large files, then you can go down, like you send someone a link and here's the link to download and this file is uploaded. And didn't they commission musicians to make some kind of a song for them? Yeah, some musicians were using the like to put out and like put their own albums up for sale, and I don't know how it works exactly, but it sounds like we found an investor from the late 90s, Jack. There you go. Yeah, there you go. So, but here's the deal. Is that any time there's any kind of technology which is used rampantly for pirating?

There's always like somebody who uses for something good. Yeah. I mean, remember when BitTorrent came out, it was like 98% of the people used BitTorrent to pirate things. And then, oh, yes, well, some people use it for distributed computing or distributed downloading, you know,

for like World of Warcraft. I mean, some of that technology I guess was used for some of the launch or stuff, right? Yeah, they incorporated some of that. And we also used it very briefly when we started Red vs. Blue. And then people used it, don't get fired. Yeah, it was kind of hard.

We were teaching people how to use it. Yeah, that was the deal. That's the reason we had to stop. It was so new, no one knew how to use it. So we had to teach everyone how to use it, how to download it, and then they just went into our stuff. Now it's okay. So Mega upload got shut down by the US government shut it down, right? Yes. So okay. Okay. So we didn't we kind of skipped over this last week, but can

we talk about SOPA and PIPA at all now that they've been shelved. But there's this big deal about SOPA and PIPA, which is the Stop Online Piracy Act in the Protect Internet so i or protect and protect intellectual property act and uh... they've now both been shelved the after like the whole black house week people will be no whatever talking about that but at the same time the u.s government stepped in and shut down this website without those things out there correct so what's what's the point of all this stuff if they're going to do it anyway what's the

point of you know you know even if they do stop the bills and everything like like, okay, they're still going, oh, well, we're just going to shut it down. There's a difference between doing something across the board and then doing something sporadically. I mean, if they pass the legislation, it's just all or nothing. I think one of the big things about SOPA, that's a big deal. It was overreaching. Is that also the air conditioning shut off?

Those are dramatic noise. No, some showers are there. The deal about soap-off. Quite clearly it's violated the price. They shut it down. The cutter power. These bills, one of the big deals about it, is that they could require internet service providers

to block specific domains. Like they just get, OK, here's your list of domains that you can no longer provide access to, because they violate, we have enough complaints about these things. And that would obviously be a big deal. But don't they already seize some domains anyway? I'm sure they can have action where they go against an actual company and shut them down in season. Do we think that we're sort of headed in that direction anyway? Man, you know, I don I know. Well, the problem with it is,

is the people making legislation are all these 60 and 70 year old guys, who don't know anything about. That's what they want you to think. The people making the legislation are fucking lobbyists. Okay, I'm sorry, the people voting on these things, are 16 and 17 year old guys, so basically get me honest.

Even if they aren't 60 or 70, if they're like 30, they're not. No, no, it's Congress. And there was a bit on the daily show where they were showing these people talking about so-bright and stuff and it literally is like everyone was like well I'm not a nerd so I really don't know about this but I thought I've heard it's good and then like I'm not a nerd I'm not and that's like no no those are experts those are trained experts in their field

those aren't nerds you know if you want to know what is going on bring these people in and talk to them and figure out what the hell they're you know what this is actually doing but no I but no no nerd you know what I don't know what to tell you the internet has now been around for about 20 years yeah okay if we're electing people who don't understand the internet that's on us no these are people that have been in in the government for more than 20 years no I get that I agree with Bernie it's it's on us oh yeah we put them there no I agree we're, but the whole point is they're they're not supporting it like they are

Responding to their constituents like It's like you can't just expect every politician to you know always what's like I mean the whole like internet black-out day We're like that being said if it's a piece of legislation You don't think that the onus is on them to research it before they vote you think that they should just vote come up with their idea wait for the constituents to tell them whether it's right or wrong and then change their mind yes I get the initial appeal for the bill like if you look at the headline oh stop internet piracy okay I mean yeah you should go into it and I guess discuss with your constituent I mean what is

that is that going to your hometown and talking to people like, they know, that's not how, that's not how it works. That's, well, it should be how it works. I guess there's a lot of people. I mean, I think the system works. Like, it's not getting passed. The system works. I don't think the system works. No, no, no, no, I mean, it's not getting passed after this, like, I mean, literally major websites were shut down. They say they get in it like not thriving. So they're responding to the people, and they're not voting for that. So you're saying every single time any legislation goes that shouldn't be enacted,

they've got to shut down major websites. And I don't, I don't understand what your question is. Can, Okay, so you're saying the correct thing to do is to have like this huge uprising of citizens. Clearly, I think we should elect Jack and Brandon off. God, nothing would happen.

It'd be the worst thing ever. I'm going to reduce bike theft. My district. So we're going to shut down roostertie.com for a day. If a politician takes a bike theft. I'm going to reduce bike theft by one bike. Your bike. I still want to see you ride a bike.

I don't believe it. I've known you for a long time. I can't imagine. I will ride that bike if you will make this noise. Well, I do it. D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D about all this is the power that Wikipedia, that Reddit, and all the other websites had, and basically just changing opinion of those power makers overnight. And you wonder, like, what else could they do if they wanted to? Like what?

That's what they just made. Clearly, they can't bring back Star Trek for Firefly. Firefly. Yeah, community was on hold with Microsoft had made that statement a few days ago about supporting gay marriage if other websites or I mean not other websites other like you know other sites in the digital domain made the political statement they did. Like is this just part of you know these in my my loan here is anyone else like I don't know what's the question. Yeah, we raised that question, please. Are you saying or are you saying that we're in a point in history now where if all these websites band together we can actually make a difference and change certain.

Yeah, like new H company's digital company. I mean, it's that question for you. No. Thank you for asking. But you know, it's good to dream. So the rumor has it now, the rumor has it now that Sopa is being merged into another bill that's called the, this is the best name for a bill ever. It's being merged with a bill called the Protecting Children from Internet pornographers Act. See, guys, I thought this is exactly how it's gonna work.

I'd heard this rumor that since they failed doing it this way that they're just going to bundle it with a child porn act, which no one's going to be able to vote again and get it passed that way. Who's the congressman who introduced this? The very same Lamar Smith. Lamar Smith. What's his district? He's here in Texas. See, you know, in a week it's going to be the protect children and piracy act and also a million dollars goes to my district. And then three weeks after that it's going to be like, you know, ten to trillion dollars. It's just going to be.

Didn't the figure come out that the RIA or the MPAA spent 88 million dollars lobbying in favor? They were big behind it of those bills. And they came out like the, so the MPAA came out and basically said We're gonna stop supporting Obama if he doesn't vote for this like they they flat out said that it's like that's That's a whole about the whole money in politics thing is so shady. I read I read one of these books I was talking about earlier. I'm not sure how far into this rant. I can get but it's basically pretty far I hedge fund the founded company that was doing accounting fraud. And it was basically like, well, we're short of this company because it's doing accounting

fraud. And it kept pointing out to everyone, and this went on for years and years and years and years and years, pointing out to the SEC, pointing out to government agencies, pointing out to Congress. And to this day, it's like six years later, to this day, it doesn't matter. The company's still in business It's still ripping people off. It's still using illegal accounting tricks and it's a publicly-trade company. It's still happening. Well, that's like those like the

like this was it The company. Yeah, I the company's name is allied capital. Hmm. Well, that's like those evangelical like creatures that I Like those evangelical preachers like those evangelical creatures, like two or around and have these big shows where they've literally caught them like sending, feeding the creatures information and saying, oh Jesus told me that you have cancers. Like no, someone before the show told them

and they wrote it down and they're feeding it's the preacher and then they don't, who's not seeing this stuff? There was a guy, there was a guy who got busted for this oh no there's a guy who got busted for this and like he went to jail and then he got back out and kept doing it and people still go to the show and give him money and everything yeah I don't know the world is more complicated and it's also a lot of marketing and yeah I mean bad things happen and they're you know people take advantage of it. You get older and you just get cynical. You know

it's like you see what see patterns see patterns. Well this doesn't do is like something goes wrong just hold still you know what I mean I mean look at Tiger Woods just wait eventually I mean yeah I got it I think he had Tiger's head a little bit. You know it's funny yeah especially nowadays like 20 years ago that stuff didn't roll as well. Now it's like you're exactly right. Just like your Kobe, your tire, it doesn't matter. Just wait six months, three years. Stack up in your house. Wait a few months.

It's fun. Yeah, he didn't leave his house, because he, while he was healing, he did not want him to be picture to be taken Tiger Woods. Of his face. Yeah, because he got hurt. Those pictures be around forever, and they'll be synonymous with his handle.

So he just sat in his room. That's smart. The biggest gap. I mean, it's hard to say though. It's all depends on how you react to it. Look at Herman Cain. Herman Cain went through all this garbage, of not to say garbage.

He was accused of a lot of stuff, a lot of misconduct. And then he left the campaign. He resigned from his presidential run. New Gingrich is going right through the same thing. And he's one of the main guys who accused Clinton of that in the 90s. I was going to pitch Clinton for inappropriate behavior. They didn't pitch Clinton, right? They didn't pitch Clinton. Yes. They are, they're going through New Gingrich's power and through. I mean, his wife was on, I think, 2020

the day just Aaron Dirty Laundrieg on 2020 about her having, you know, I think cancer. And he left her while she had cancer, you know, with a woman he was having to fare with for seven years, all according to her. No, he asked her to have an open marriage. I thought it's funny. I've seen like, there's that thing that we hear every four years. There was another politician, the same exact story. I've got cancer.

Yeah, I've got cancer. It is like, well, I'm leaving now. It's like we hear the story every four years. Every four years. What's that? You're the illegitimate kid too. A few years later, John Edwards. Well, I little gym at kid to a few years later John Edwards Well, I mean that's just part of fun. I mean

What's point of me to politician can't a couple of little gym big kids her making waited out the first scandal But then there was a second scandal so he's trying to wait out the first two and then a third and a fourth But it's only around hog who kept seeing a shadow seeing a shadow. I'm trying to come out. Nope, go back in. Nope. Seeing other people's shadows. The biggest gap I see is from what I think it was in like 84 was Gary Hart.

That's right. Yeah, we'll see. Again, Gary's head back in that day. One photo. He didn't recover. It was one photo. One photo. He's in front of a yacht with a girl on his lap over.

Done. Done. He was going to beat Reagan. He was going to be like the next Kennedy. And as soon as that one photo came out he was gone it wasn't a decade later when Bill Clinton went through all that stuff and it was he was perfect fun he was totally okay Bill Clinton was elected what 92 a lot of ways our country is slowly becoming Europe and there's different maybe positive things about that maybe there's negative things about that. I don't know back

I don't know, but I don't know to me I just can't wait for the topless beaches. I just don't you know You know, this is me personally. No, but I'm This means it's personally it's like it seems like if you're on one party and the other party has a thing Then you're oh, that's bad, but if then it's your party then you don't care You know, and it's it's like the same game over and again I just I don't care I mean unless you're like machine gunning down people on well that's the whole thing with Romney it's like these Republicans were like

oh I'm all about business and you know in capitalist and you know people making their own money and then Romney shows up with all this money that he made himself like oh wait no it's bad for him we don't like him we don't like him at all no he's bad yeah normally I don't give a shit about all this like presidential like personal life bullshit but that is the attack that puzzles me the most where it's like Republicans turn who are in favor of you know letting the market regulate itself when the market regulates itself and this guy's you know dismantling companies and makes money at it then they all attack him yeah it isn't that one of the principal's that they all running on? I think it's a good thing.

I think it's a good thing that if you're just a normal citizen and you have stuff going on in your own life and you don't have time to pay attention to all this stuff 100%, that's a good thing. Because there's a lot of garbage in the system. It's just like, I don't have a time to pay attention to all this stuff and I'm glad. But then these people are affected by like, you know, these attack ads and stuff. Like that's the only thing they're going to see.

They don't get a research just kind of information So the hell to read up on politics. I just know we were on scandals. What's the best all-time scandal dodge in your mind? The best all-time scandal dodge Wow, I got two pretty good ones. Yeah Bill Clinton was great. Bill Clinton had the best line of all time Bill Clinton had two scandal dodges What was his other one? Well, he had the Monica Lewinsky, and I didn't inhale. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I would say that he had the flowers. He had the flowers. Oh, and different. Yeah, I was just, that was your campaign. At one point, FDR lived with another woman towards the end of his presidency. And his daughter set that up. See, at this point, he's the most beloved

and maybe known as the best president. At this point, I just assume anyone would not know. You live with another woman. You're alienated half the country. I think if you're over the best president ever, well, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, I'm a Reagan bitch. She served longer than any other president. What's that? He served longer than any other president. I just two of the crazy scandal dodges. Remember when Letterman had his affair? Oh, yeah. I think it was like a week later

Tiger Woods came out with all that crazy shit I timed this perfectly. No, there's there's another one. Uh was it was it Paula Poundstone? Like no, they're the kid with the kids with the kids. No, this is like so Paula Poundstone like God busted like molesting kids I don't know I feel is something serious. She bites my way. She beats us every week on iTunes. No seriously. No, they use the term. We don't know.

I don't know. I don't know what happened, but they definitely use the term molested. Okay. No, I don't know. I mean, if you, but anyway, so they say like,

if you do something wrong in your life, if you do something wrong in your life, I would rather, I would rather be accused of murdering somebody and molesting somebody but so anyway that's the worst word ever like this her scandal hit and then it was like was it 9-11 that happened the next day it was something huge hit like immediately afterwards and it's everyone forgot about her it was something that distracted everyone she had in 2001 Pione Stone was charged as a result of

an incident in which she was driving her children while intoxicated. She pleaded no contest to felony endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of inflicting injury on a child. She was sentenced to five years' probation and 180 days of alcohol rehabilitation program. Following completion of the program, she was granted a full custody of her adopted children. Before that, Poundstone was arrested in June for alleged lutex and child abuse involving her three adopted and and two fostered two. There you go. Poundstone's frequently refers to Kat in her comedy. So I know it's like that came out. It was like June of 2001. But yeah, I mean, but like the news hit like like September. Yeah, asked with children. I mean, I don't know what happened. I don't know what's going on there, but it's like God, man, if you say something, like loot. Yeah, what's that article September 13th? Yeah, so no one's paying attention to that early time

September 13th 2001 Comedian pleats no contest to charges and is expected to get five years probation Charges she committed loot acts are dropped so those charges were dropped. Yeah, but still like no one remembers that I'm sorry like with Joel and I were the only people in this room, I remember that. So. I think there's actually a bigger one than that too. At that same time, they got a race by 9-11. That was Gary Condon, who was on the cover of every magazine because he had that out. He had that, oh yeah, the intern. He had the, yeah, Shandra Levy.

Shandra Levy. And basically, there was an interview on 60 minutes where they brought him on there. And he was like, yeah, I pretty much killed her. She was gone. Look over there. much killed her. She was gone. Look over there. She was gone. She was dead. They basically, I mean, he seemed very guilty.

It was like the biggest story of the year. Like, it was like, what was the, I can't remember, the girl last year with the kid that. And Florida. Yeah, alley Hollywood. I don't shit. I don't remember her name she's already yeah but it was like it was like everywhere last year and the case the Anthony yeah she was she was everywhere last year it's the same thing with Gary Connelly he couldn't escape the

story like you know just put this kind jail 9-11 happened he stayed in office he didn't even go jail he stayed in office for like two years after that like that whole thing just went away after 9-11 and then they they found the actual murderer. Yeah, they're what? Yeah, or some guy admitted to you. Yeah, some some guy. So I think he was a Honduran or Guatemalan who was already in prison. Really? No way. He wasn't. He had he had been in prison, had been out and was like, Oh yeah, I killed her. Huh. And that got totally erased. I think that came out already after he had left off after Gary Condon had left office. Hmm Interesting God man if there's one lesson you have learned from the podcast

It's just don't run for any thing. It's like a breaking bad thing. We're like the this paid a guy to say he killed her Just there's one thing you learn from the podcast. It's just waited out. It's waited out Just waited out. I don't think anyone remembers all Bill O'Reilly stuff too a few years ago Most of you guys stupid videos come about about him like you know right after he does something else stupid Everyone forget what Bill O'Reilly thing the Luka the only thing I know that Bill Riley is like shouting at the camera man He's like sending one of his producers like really gross and glued Like she left and then sue them and she she like they all came out like I think it was like something about spreading falafel on her ass Wow Yeah They all came out like I think it was like something about spreading falafel on her ass. Wow

Yeah, it's also a three-thin-go-fault of a Marvel vert. That's another one. Oh And he's back too Well, the big ones are the ones that deal with hypocrisy, I think and I think the biggest one was rush limbaugh No, like head head had broadcast where he said drug users should be thrown out of the country and everything like that And then they had an airport, right? With, uh, what, how much? I like it was a like a din of cotton. Yeah, it was a huge and it didn't make him deaf. Wasn't that part of it to make him deaf. Wow. And then one of the side effects he had he had hearing problems,

too. He's a radio that suddenly you get hearing problems when you're accused. All right. We're going to come out like this airing dirty laundry for other people. It's like a whole pointed today's podcast. Did to come out. Aaron Derny, long to your further people. I think the whole point of today's podcast. Did it come out that strong Thurman had like a illegitimate right? What's his name? Strong Thurman. Strong.

No, you got it. No, strong. He had like a illegitimate black grandchild, or I guess daughter. What are you going with? Eventually. Well, you ran on a don't touch the metaphorical electric fence. You went on a sunny day and don't touch the metaphorical electric fence the one on the thirty-eighth you in the touching the metaphor

let me look up strong strong strong sermon the uh... the dude who may who may have you who the dude who killed shondrelie you was actually from ill-salvador okay and uh... was uh... which is banish for the salvador and we can get into the nine two thousand ten overdoing corrections by the way uh... you you put it out in the linked up that I was wrong about Rick Fox. He's married to the Vanessa Williams, not of the fraud.

How did you guys get that wrong? I didn't know. I was like, what? I did have my iPad to verify at the time. Yeah, I got to, hey, I asked you guys, does any of these stories, do they generate any interest in you whatsoever? Because to me, none of that stuff matters to me.

No. I mean, I just don't care. Here's, okay, here, he he looks at let's talk about strom thermon. I guess when I hear strong thermon, I picture like strong bad in a traditional world. Bad stuff, man. I said it's strong. I got it. No, you said strong. You still said it wrong. You said strong. How do you say it?

He was from the Louisiana territory. He was from Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on one second. It's a... yeah, I want to say South Carolina is well, but I'm just trying to make sure. And then towards the end, that guy, all the time, we get up and deliver speeches and just be like, well, I hate black people. It just be like, is the only thing I've been saying.

You think about this? Oh, strong and thorough. And it's just like, he ran on a new crazy racist. That's what you want to do with the president. Yeah, I support segregation. Really? Are you getting serious? I mean, absolutely serious. He ran on you crazy racist that's what that's what you want to do with the president I support segregation really and then I mean absolutely serious He he was governor of South Carolina and he was a senator from South Carolina as well. What are you running against? How we would totally pull into politics. Let's talk about it. Let's get a politics

Oh, God. Oh, God. People are asking me to bring that up. No, he's actually not for what it's worth. But anyway, let's continue. Did you hear Mac Brown's getting a raise? I'm all glirri-y eyes now. Fuckin' college football college football coaching changes.

But I don't care about the sports side. I tolerate a lot of things. I don't want to get to college football coaching changes. I know we're like super ball. Can we talk super ball? I'm on the fucking level. Dude, did you see, OK, so achievement hunter predicts. Is it a show that Jeff and I do?

We predicted that the 49ers' Giants game was going to go to overtime and that the 49ers would win. And it actually did go to overtime But the Giants ended up winning but still like the fact that we predicted the overtime is pretty awesome. All right You're reaching. How's that reaching? We did a thing where they would play football and it predicted that they were gonna play football Going to overtime is that's something that's never happened or hasn't happened a long damn time Okay, so anyway, you got real quiet in here. I'm trying to, what's up? I do.

New York Times. New York Times, December 16, 2003. Thurmond Kinn acknowledged black daughter, the family of the late Senator Strong. That's right. That's right. That's Trump. South Carolina. On Monday. That SEMA Washington dashed Williams. That's, I remember that yeah

It retired teacher living in Los Angeles is the daughter of mr. Thurmond and a black woman who worked for his family as a maid nearly 80 years The thing is that anyone that was like before the story broke you had to know that was gonna happen Yeah, they had to know that was gonna happen But how long do you have to like hold a grudge against a dude 80 years ago? I mean this is a scandal after 80 years. And this is a 2003 article, it's 90 years ago. It's like, by the way, the daughter died 40 years ago. It happened, pre-depression.

God. It happened maybe during pro-ambition. It happened pre-flight. I think. No, the first time was 1903. That's right, brother. It's freaking about that. The flight had just happened 20 years previously.

Like, they had just figured that one out. The people just mad, they're like, why didn't you say that the flight was still alive? 1903 Freaking just happened 20 years previously You just Figures that one out Just mad like why didn't you say that he was still alive? He did the ultimate because it's like he just kept it said down for like I like He put like a hundred years in a state as house will he yield? Yeah, do cost someone else their political career was like I don't know Is a speaker the house maybe but like he was speaking at the thurman's birthday?

And not so I don't even want to say the first name because my and he's like wrong sir I think the country would have been better if the thurman strong thermo with a one and then everybody in trouble that of him being pro racists and he just like fell off the political map and it's like you get mad at this guy for supporting this old racist dude but you're not mad at the old racists dude but you're not mad at the old racists. Brandon! Shut up! Get out! What did you invite him here? Why am I trying to talk about the meeting? Get the fuck out!

Why am I showing a microphone with you? You're killing me! No more politics! Oscar nominations! 2012! Alright, let's do it. Dude, okay one huge... Is there anything by Michael Moore?

So that Brandon can talk about that one huge snub I'll tell you right now best animated picture guess. Okay. Guess what guess what does that angry chair move that was Oh God come back. I was gonna get political So guess what okay? What what won the Golden Globe for best animated picture? Do you guys remember cars to red versus blue? 1010 So guess what didn't get nominated for an Oscar? Ragnarice Blue, 1010. Ragnarice Blue, 1010.

I'm sticking to my original answer. So 1010 was not nominated for Best Animated Picture. So what was nominated for Best Animated Picture? Rango, Rango was fucking... Best Animated Picture Films and Boots. Rango, Rango, Rango right now. It's a safe top. Instead going up top of your head, let me just go.

And Best Animated Picture Films, a cat in Paris. What the fuck is that? Never heard of Chico and Rita. What the fuck is that never better than 1010 apparently? Never heard of it. Kung Fu Panda to Posit boots and Rango Never heard that noise before Bernie 30 to a bullhorn on son. Yeah, so I don't know how 1010 didn't get nominated But anyway, look at the look at the best the best the best is everyone seen tintin that's picture I have best picture the artist there's ten right one two three four five six and eight nine nine they

could they could do they couldn't even find a ten there's nine I'm glad that the NCA don't get the artist the artist the descendants extremely loud and incredibly close which which I hear is terrible. Yeah, I've heard bad, bad things. Did you see that? We were in LA and they had the poster for that hung everywhere and it's very similar to the homelone poster. The help, Hugo, Midnighton Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and Warhorse.

Has anyone seen Warhorse? Horsewar. I think Extreme Loud and Credit Boot Close as like a 40% on rotten tree. It's rotten. I wonder if we can convince Grannon that the name of war horse is horse. Horse war. No, because he just want to bring it around a strong

thermon or something racist or political that is like, oh, I understand it. The first war horse. Horse. You know, wars had a daughter out of it. A little filling. I heard that he was not hung like a horse. That's all these scandals today. So, okay.

Are you gonna have a tough time? It's gonna suck. Okay, were there anything on there that I mean like, what was our Harry Potter one our best, our, our, our Trump Take War? Our Potter was not nominated for best picture? No. What? I mean, that usually at the end of a massive franchise Yeah, the last one gets a nod aka return to the king IEG

IEG I said IK which makes no sense Do you know the difference between IE and EG? No, yes, you do you can think why don't you explain to me the difference in IE and EG? Okay, you can think of IE I they both stand for Latin words. I don't remember what the words are But no one does IE is this is like saying in essence in other words EG is example that is correct. No, okay. EG is this is an example of the thing we're talking about IE is in other words So etc now you know

we're talking about i.e. is in other words. So, et cetera. Now, you know, that's the first good thing we've said. No, I'm recategorizing us into the education section. There you go. There it is. Now we can roll that dominate. Hey, who is the host of Weight Weight, don't tell me. Gareth and Keeler. Is he really? I think so.

Man. From Lake Wilburgon. You want me to look it up? No. All right, so let's go through some of these nominees. I'm not looking up, I'm looking up some of my, yes. I'll tell you why I asked in a second. Okay, more nominees. It's, oh, I took it back, I was wrong. It's Peter Segal and Carl Cacell.

So, more, I can give you no research for the show. More nominees. Who do you want to know? Is there any category you like? How about, do best, actually best score. I want to know? Is there any category you like? How about, actually, best score. I want to see if Trent Resner got nominated again. I'm positive.

I'm sure. Girl, he would have been nominated with Atticus Finch for Girl to Dragon Tattoo. What do I not see? When are the awards? A best original score. The Adventures of Trenton by John Williams. Yeah.

The artist by Ludovic Borsch. Hugo by Howard Shore, Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy by Alberto Iglesias, and Warhorse by John Williams. So what was even nominated? Nope. Oh, that sucks. What was nominated? A Girl Drank tattoo.

Trent Resner, he won last year for Social Network. We got some sound editing and sound mixing. That's great. That was a great score too. It was a good score. It set the tone perfectly for that movie. Yeah, but I guess you know John Williams and Howard Shore shock. Yeah, well, I don't know.

I hear John Williams has done some. You hear John Williams. I understand from what people tell me. I all went downhill now. Yeah, now. Yeah, you're resorted to the pun section of the podcast. For somebody stole your bike. Okay, so why is this a happy birthday on your wall?

Happy birthday, we stole your bike. Yeah, really. Good point. I got my bike stolen on my birthday. You know, like a little kid is like your 10 year old birthday. I find that if you're going to steal something from Bernie, take the truck. What was she going to do with my bike? She lives 45 feet away from it. Yeah, I thought it was weird.

Like the other day I was pulling up to the office and I saw her pull out of her apartment and pulling over years like you know her car. I was like you couldn't walk. Well no, I don't know. I don't know if it's from if you're from California I get that. No, it's not. It's not. If I ever one that lives over there that works here, they all bring their cars.

We have, it's a from Michael. We have a car. A crowded parking lot. We We have a crowded parking lot. We do have a crowded parking lot. All those assholes who can see their apartment from the office. They're coming their cars. Don't call the massels or co-workers. It's a you're not can you thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Shout out. Let's not break the streak.

What's as the podcast group, why don't we collectively come up with some of the thing for like at the Monday meeting? I want to thank Brandon. I want to thank strong Let's do it. I agree with I agree with I want to thank Kathleen for stealing your bike That's a good one. That's also good. I'm probably breaking the printer and Monty for pushing Kathleen to steal your bike I asked Monty. I asked him if that was that was what she told me I asked Monty But I mean you weren't gonna use the bike Shut up

You didn't even work any easy you just look at it. You just bought it so you could lock it up there. Yeah, right? If you if you do a Google search for strong thermon all the returns are for strong Thurmond go figure is it is it corrected? Does it like no it doesn't correct? Oh really like the search is for strong thermon return strong thermon oh man They're correct on the PC, but not on the iPad. You got to go pretty deep with a big misconception for Google to correct you just like you meant this Yeah, yeah, stop it. Not even like did you mean it's like no, I get this all the day We're just gonna present this to you and pretend like you didn't if you're stupid enough to have typed that You're too stupid to read the fact that I corrected you so yeah, what was that?

What was that search that you didn't Google a long time ago where it came up for a pregnancy? Self would you know? Yeah, I had a picture of that. I don't remember what it was It's terrible. It's like basically if you enter how do I was like I just type does I mean it was like You get like awful Auto completes and then someone was trying you get like awful auto completes. And then someone was trying to convince me that auto completes based on your previous searches. Like I did not search a goddamn thing for it. No, it takes like, yeah, yeah.

Well, again, it's like if the Google searches any indication of what is happening to Siri, we're all in trouble. Siri, how do I get pregnant? No, I don't want to know. I think I've got that one covered. One of the funniest returns you can get on Google is for dinosaurs It's it's dinosaurs invented by the CIA to discourage time travel. That's a good one So wait wait That's an awesome one

So I'm here speaking of which I typed into Google canna girl. Oh God Canna girl get pregnant on her period can a girl ask a guy out can a girl get pregnant from pre-come this is Google learning that's what we want to know marry kids it's gonna get to the point where no matter what you enter and to the Google it's just gonna turn it to sex yeah it's gonna return porn it's gonna turn into a cosmopolitan cover no No, I read I read an article recently that said social media has overtaken porn is the most used use of the

seriously. Seriously. I believe it. I don't know. It's because it's sexting probably. No. It's the same thing. Now it's just now it's just okay so social media has overtaken porn. overtaken porn as the most commonly used. That's got to be the highest frequent use. That's going to be the highest point in humanity ever. I'm sexting in a Google and it autocompletes sexting examples. I decided on how many people, one of the main questions, how many people have my name? Who wants to know that?

Yes. You find that on Facebook. Got us to be playing Star Wars? Yeah, I'm about to hit level 50. Are you really how long that took you? Like a month? Yeah, when the game came out in the. Oh, yeah, I'm excited about that. Are you really hellin' that take you? Like a month? Yeah, when the game came out in the 20th,

so on a few days before that, I guess. God dang it, I don't know what to say. I was so close, I got really close. I would like... You know, I was competing with Jack, and you could hit 51st. I had to go out of town a couple times. I went to Vegas before that, too.

Oh, yeah. So Jack beat me. I did. It was pretty great. I'm in my own world right now, sorry. So So okay, level 50 is the highest you can build your character up to. Uh-huh. And so Gus and I were both oh, Jackson idiot. I just remembered this story. Oh shit. Okay. Anyway, so so Gus and I were both racing to get to 51st. Like Adam got to 50 in a matter of what like four or five days. He pretty much played non-stop on Star Wars. So

when Star Wars is like World of Warcraft where you can get an authenticator. On your phone, when you go to log in and ask for your email address, ask for your password, then you have to generate a code using an application on your phone that you put in as well. Do you do that? I do that. So you have a username? You have a password and you have a randomly generated VPN code almost. Yeah, it's good for like 60 seconds. And then every 60 seconds it generates a new code. Can you please explain to me how that works? It's cryptography.

So there's your cryptography. For example, like in this case, for a public, let's say, BioWare has cryptography servers, and you have a mobile client. There's a shared key that both know So it's like the the mobile application says I have shared key three And then they both know a secret key as well So they communicate and they say hey, hey, guys. Hey, this morning. Shins. There's a public key three You have to hash it out. Here's a number

So every 60 seconds are generating new numbers that you have to log in with. The reason I use it is so that If my username and password ever stolen someone still can't log in is me. Yeah Okay, and use it because you're worried about that. Yes, well It's a big deal on while like people would have multiple multiple characters And then you know if someone steals your account They have access to all these characters that can then be sold or you know destroyed Well for like someone like us how many hours do you think is like sort of like third world slavery involving star wars characters. Well I mean like how many hours do you think you put in the world of warcraft? Yeah I mean I couldn't tell you. It days. It days and so like that's a lot of work.

Yeah someone can go in and sell out everything. Why did you get your password? Right so what's password? Password. Oh anyway so you can do this and if you set up the authenticator in over public there's like a special vendor you can go to who like sells you special shit like that. I've seen whatever Jack your character has an No, no, I have an authenticator to login with before I even get to my care So I was I was confused because this is because your security concerns. Yes So Jack could not access this vendor the special in-game authenticator And I yeah, and I've been using my authenticator, like typing it every time I logged in.

So Jack was like, I don't know what's wrong, I guess I filled out a bug report. And it came back that while he was using that authenticator, it was not actually activated on his account. And he was complaining the entire time. So for a month, he was using an authenticator for no reason. So I was typing in the numbers and logging in and not actually using it That's always that's always the worst feeling when you get a point and then have to contact people Like a bug report and they're like no you're just you're not doing it Right

It's like the thing was like so you have to go set it up on line for it for the number thing to even pop up And I did that and like his numbers were popping up Like it be first load the authenticator. It's like you have to go through the whole set of process I did that and I guess it's just never got linked to my profile for whatever reason So so now you can access the vendor because now you're actually using it. This sounds complicated I don't even know where this falls on the spectrum of nerddom. I mean you have your super secret of nerddom. I mean, you have your super secret password for your digital fake character that you're not even using it right. Uh-oh. And then you fill out a bug report. So anyway, it was very dumb. Very, very dumb. You get that moment where it's fixed now. You know, there's a guy in a room somewhere going, what a fucking

asshole. So I have, I have a complaint that I would like to air about. Area grievances. Star Wars, the Old Republic. I actually want to have a part of the meeting Monday meeting where we air grievances. I think that would actually be a lot more useful. Do it. The meeting would never end.

Let's go. Let's do it. I guess it's what the podcast is. That's our Wednesday meeting. It's the airing of grievances. OK. OK. Here's what I want to know about Old Republic.

Because I worked hard, very hard, to get my mount, my, my, my, here's what I want to know about older public because this I worked hard Very hard to get my mount my my my my you hit level 20 Yeah, 25 excuse me 25 25 way harder than level 20 so you making my point for me, okay I want to use that goddamn mount everywhere. I don't want to be told I can't mess the fucking mount when I'm getting off my spaceship and I'm walking through the spaceport I don't want to be told that more. I don't want to be told I can't use it in the fucking palace in Alderan I want to be able to fucking use my goddamn mount your Mavro one out it's like a slow speeder. Oh, it's just yeah

And I was just building some huge some of those buildings are huge I mean they're fucking huge and you end up walking through them like 20 times Yeah, you know it used to be in world of Warcraft when they for the first several years that it was out, you couldn't use a mount anywhere indoors, period. Like you would go indoors, anybody immediately kicked off. You couldn't use your mount in water. The second you hit water, you were kicked off. Water!

Yeah, whoa. So, uh, this is a little ahead of that, but it's still, there's, there's, sometimes you can use it indoors, but not all the time. Oh, the other guy we're at is swimming. Thank God for that. Do you swim in overpubble? I don't know. I don't think so. It's always a weird thing in a video game where it's like, okay, what?

But didn't the Jedi swim in episode 1? What's that? They did. They did the one mountain crazy things, yeah. It's got to pull those out of nowhere. What else did they have in those robes? They were really prepared to go underwater. I mean, like, they went into space with their helmets, they went back.

So how big is course on the on the on the republic side? Like to walk through like drum and costs is huge. That's the Empire's capital. And yeah, you don't get to have your speeder through there. Or do you? No, you can. You can. Okay. Marissa, I'm gone back in a while. I'm like, I won't tell you. I don't think you shouldn't know. It's like it's unfair. You have some weird advantage. It's big I mean you get to the senate palace and it's just big big big fucking hallways I went to a mission with these robots George and Detroit and they were all the way in the back And it's like you had to walk down pass past the stuff all these hallways

It always is nothing in them. You're like put the fucking drawings Here put them here or it's like the joy goes hey here's your quest by the way I'm going to lunch I'm gonna meet you out front after lunch you know it's come all the way back here just meet me out front I that's what I wish would happen but no you got to walk all the way back through there like five fucking times shoes That's a big concern that's my only complaint that's um that's a big concern for me I've I'm playing mass effects right now also just so I want to get caught up And it's like I noticed there's like a lot of walking around looking for the thing it's done Yeah, there's a smaller levels. Yeah, it's like oh, I got to bring the map. I get a walk all the way over here

And it's like they really stream like I don't oh You're playing Mass Effect one or two two, okay? They streamline that two and one it was a lot more walking around Making it one you can walk yeah everywhere on the citadel It's like almost you have to come up with a game that you can play while you're walking. And Mass Effect II feels like we went to this planet to go to this room.

You know, like, right, right. We wanted this sliver of these like five levels that we're going there. Right. The hard part of the original Mass Effect. Also, it's like you go, it's like, okay, now I'm gonna take, I come to the planet, I'm docking with the planet.

Yeah. Now I'm on the planet. Now I'm gonna walk across this level to take another transport to another part of the planet. Taxi's are a big deal in all this now. I don't wanna do the multi stage. It just take me to the thing. Just take your ship to the bottom. Take my thing.

Land the ship on the enemy. Land the ship on the enemy. There's some stuff like that in Star Wars 2, where it's like you fly your ship to the spaceport, take the shuttle from the spaceport, down to the bottom. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no it's like you fly your ship to the spaceport, take the shuttle from the spaceport, down to the plane. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, know, I was like, wow, this is a lot of stuff. But it's like when I'm younger, when I'm younger, playing the games like this is window dressing, this is awesome. Look at the breath and scope and the epicness of this.

And now I'm like, well, I gotta get my talent. But that's one of the places you can't get on your mount. So I agree with you there. It's like, I have to walk all the way through this airlock. Nothing happens in the airlock. Ever. I'm still waiting for what will happen at the end. There's a couple scenes in them, but whatever.

I mean, a lot of the reasons why developers do that so they can load the map, I guess, right? Yeah, I guess I've had a few quests, like a few pop things pop up in those walks, though. Now they think about it. Yeah, couple, like some plot points, some. Some there are a lot, a lot of whole ways though, right? Yeah, always. The biggest loss that the Star Wars universe had from prequel old, old,

republic stuff to the original trilogy. The biggest loss was ceiling technology, ceiling high technology. The ceilings in older public are like every one of them is like 800 feet tall. I've never seen such massive environments. They're enormous. I've seen bigger. The one in New York was way bigger.

What do you want? What the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, yeah, I mean, they're just, they're just, they're enormous. They're enormous. And it's just like, I, I just walked through these things What the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the... the Maybe she's going to the police Don't turn herself in so I have a police department next door. They're out there putting a bike lock You're getting a hacksaw. She's probably like the cops are the ones who cut the no No, no, I'm just saying they're like right there. They didn't notice anything. Oh come on. How'd you pull that? You serious? I mean they're busy We have we have a an office full of employees who could tell her that was my bike and she just he's still stole my Well, I would I would I would have I mean had she asked me

how to be like yeah the responsibility told me he wanted you to yeah I've been like asked money. I was going on his office. By the way how fucking border people around this goddamn office when you come up with the idea to cut through a kryptonite lock and you do it in the same day. What she is what she is a Dremel. She can she outsourced it to the intern. And the intern dremeled off a Dremel. Dremel, like, are Dremel? Like, do we have a Dremel?

No, the Royal Dremel. We have an intern. Do we have a Dremel? Yeah, it's Dremel. No. Strong Dremel. That's the unbelievable part of this dirty use that we own a Dremel. I mean, it's like, I would think, what time do they do it, like in the afternoon?

I don't know. Oh my god. It's outside your office. I didn't fucking hear a thing. It's you, you're telling the line. I hear nothing. I'm gonna get my kneecaps broken. You know, this thing about personal responsibility too

is like, if we go back to the original SOPA deal that we were talking about, right? Okay, so it's got a French brand new thing that you're doing with Derella's politics. The SOPA thing, the talking about, right? Okay, so it's got a French brand to say you're the derailers with politics. The sofa thing, the internet won, right? The internet got this thing crushed for now, for now. And it's probably going to come back nowhere in the discussion, nowhere in the discussion of like, oh, look at this political action everyone is taking and look at what we achieved, we killed this bill, you have to stop, and I'm not playing devil's advocate here, you really have to do this, is no one is saying what caused this,

what led to this? I have not heard anyone say in this entire argument of, look what piracy has done, you know, that piracy has led to this thing that could have crushed the internet in a very real way, because I don't, people will say this, I completely disagree, piracy is not free speech, but look what's happening with free speech issues as a result of trying to deal with piracy. Then this all this stuff comes with it, you know what I mean? But there's no, people in the meantime like, yay pirate bay, hooray, you know,

and all this stuff they're very excited about. It's like, maybe if we just didn't, maybe we can meet in the middle, it's that crazy, it's like, if we could, you know, meet in the middle and try to figure out a way to work with this, but not. Well, that was the only thing about SOPA. SOPA is not a bad idea on paper, but it's like the, the, the bill was way too overreaching.

Yeah, there was way way too overreaching where it was like any copyrighted thing that, you know, you didn't have permission to use, they could pull your whole website down. And even if it was like user submitted, like someone on our site, you know, posted a copy right, copy your image on their profile. They take down our whole site theoretically. Legally, they could have there are laws that exist already where I think that can happen already and it doesn't. So yeah, I don't know. Like a DMCA. Yeah, it does do an extent like I was like when I said that the federal government can already sees domains. I looked it up back in November.

They seized 130 domains. Yeah, from websites that sold counter-fitted goods. But that's physical versus digital. So I don't know if there's some kind of semantic difference. But there's something funny about like Lamar Smith, his website actually has a copyrighted image that the guy who made the image didn't give him rights to. So I was like, well, you're so the guy who created the bill is violating his own bill. Pretty much. Awesome. We've been taking down. Yep.

Any good to jail. See, like, my like, my upload goes, gets, you know, put out a business and the guy potentially goes to jail. I don't see anybody complaining about that. People are like, I think people are okay with that. Like if, if someone is making a lot of money from piracy, people are okay with those people being taken down. It's like when one person is pirating something and they can hit for $45,000 per song, then people

like that doesn't make any sense. But when a big person goes down because they made a $100 million from piracy, have you ever... So $45,000 per song. It's also like there's ridiculous judgments. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, have anyone ever known anyone that that's actually happened to? Where? No. I don't know anyone, but there are people who have been convicted I remember when I was going to you tea there's some people got hit with that like I didn't know anyone directly But I knew like what I don't like I think I find they have fun before like an outrageous amount of money for it was something like It was something like a thousand dollars a song and they had like two thousand songs just like that so

I don't know how that happens. I mean how how like it's almost like a lottery honestly I guess so. It's the Matt one time referred to air travel as the national lottery of death. I thought that was a pretty interesting way. We all buy a ticket every year. And this back when planes don't crash anymore. Plains do not.

I should knock on wood. But the last time you said that, I remember what? We were talking about this and you're like, oh, a plane hasn't crashed. And very, very, remember this. We were walking down Congress. And then almost as soon and you're like, oh, a plane hasn't crashed in very very remember this we were walking down Congress and then and then almost as soon As you said it like an alert came up because I don't know why I had on my phone or whatever But that was when the plane went down in New York and landed in the Hudson in Hudson

And we were like, oh you broke it and then it was like oh, no one died. Oh, it was fine. No week later. Oh Jesus So no one fly for the next day. Yeah, now you burn these doomed every I flew nine times Nine times like last 20 days. I've flown nine times. Nine times. Nine times. Nine times, like last 20 days. I'm flying like crazy. And, um, yeah, I don't know, hopefully. I was thinking about this.

I guess, Airbus. So that was- When I flew to LA, I was thinking about the probability of crashes and whatnot. And I don't understand how this works and maybe when you guys do and you can explain it. So, let's say, let's say I'm going to get out of plane, right? And there's a one in, I'm making this number out of my, pulling this number out of my ass. Let's say there's a one in 10 million chance

that I'm going to die either through a crash or a mechanical failure, whatever. Say there's a one in 10 million chance I'm going to get on a plane and die. If I get, if I then come back and then fly somewhere else, is the chance one in 10 it flies somewhere else is the chance One in 10 million three times or is the chance one in 3.3 million? I think it's always three and three and 10 million not like roulette. I could say what what is the odd?

It's a lot of independent. Yeah numbers Like what was the odd each time you do it and you get the same statistical? Okay, so every time it's still one in 10 million. It's not what right because right? It's a difference. It's different. If it's just you Or if it's any person. So what if is the same thing whole true for like buying lottery tickets? If you buy one lottery ticket, is it one in 64 million? Five lottery tickets. Is it five in 64 million? Yeah, same drawing or yes, because you're reducing or reducing the odds. Oh same drawing. There you go. That's what it is. Yeah, okay If it's the same drawing, then you're reducing it if it's okay

That makes a lot of sense, but if you buy five lottery tickets over five drawings Somehow convinced myself before I got on the playlist more recent time that was like I've probably flown 500 times no because every time one at 200,000 It's a point it's a one-to-one ratio. Yeah, every time you get on a flight it should be a new drawing Okay, I feel better now. Yeah, this is why Roulette you'll never win, but they are theoretically blackjack you can you'll never win. I'll fucking I'll never win, but You know, okay, so so Gus and Joel went to LA last week to go do do some commercial work and Joel like he's like I'm like in a

I mean like I get a roundhog day. I messaged Gus is like hey once Joel Or when he guys getting back in the Gus is this Friday night guests like oh I'm already back I got back late. It's like all right cool and I was like so we're How come Joel's not back so Joel? What was your what was your thought process here? You went from Los Angeles my thought processes is I cannot sit on a plane for three hours at one time. He would be dumb to have not stopped on the way back. So, I figured I'll take one giant long horrible flight and cut it into two easy, easy flights.

Yeah, I'll stretch your legs. Yeah, I'll stretch my legs. And he stretched your legs where? And that cost me $30,000. You got to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Your health, your life is worth more than that. So Joel, you saved your own life. You know what I was saying? Don't worry.

You were from LA to Vegas. I went to LA to Vegas. I could only get a flight, like there were no flights out Sunday. So it was like I landed at like eight o'clock at night, had a flight eight in the morning the next morning. But I was like, worst at it. I'm gonna hit the ground, run in motherfucker. I'm gonna fucking run, hit the ground.

Gamble, gamma, gamma, gamma, game, and that one badly. Game, game, game, game, game, and die. And then got to the airport and then my flight was delayed like eight fucking hours. And so I said, yeah, I said at the airport, all fucking days. But didn't you play those slot machines in the airport? Yeah, that's fun with the old women with the auction tanks.

Has anybody ever wanted those slot machines ever? I've seen people winning those things before. Do you haven't? The guy at the end of Ocean's alone. I think that's there you go. Yeah. Oh no, Ocean's 12 or 13. 13. 13? Yeah. Yeah. The there was one time when I was in Vegas with Matt and I just one of the weird times where I couldn't lose and we were in line for the cashier and I want to see where're at the Golden Nugget. We were down on the old strip and we're just waiting in line. It was a seriously long line and we were just standing next to slot machines I reached over and put a buck in a slot machine and won like 400 bucks. Just be

crazy. I've never I've never slot machines are garbage like my plane was delayed. We had a thing when I was leaving Vegas last time where on a Southwest flight we got on the plane. We had a thing when I was leaving Vegas last time we're on a southwest flight We got on the plane we were sitting on the plane and then they go. Yeah, the back Lava Torrey doesn't work so we got to get everybody off plane and it was like people were living because they wanted to get in a Southwest You don't have a seat assignment. So people had their seats. So then it was like they had to There was like a mutiny and they like got people seat assignments and then they were all gonna get back on the same seat Oh, wow, they all had the same

Boarding priority so theoretically you're boring passes gone by that point because you give it to them in southwest You don't take it on the planet. Yeah, I mean that's um that is the one thing about Southwest that's the same problem with like buffets What's up? I want to hear the rest of the world. Shut up. Shut up. I want to hear more of the story. Don't get up. Why is Bernie standing? I'm just stretching. OK. Deep-air thrombosis. So you got off the plane.

Oh, so I got off the plane. I thought you wanted to hear the rest of Joel's story. No, I know. So we get off the plane, and we're like, I walk out there, and I see all the sloppings. She's sitting there, and I think, you know what? This is going to be the funny story, because we had to get off the plane

And it was all grown right and I'm gonna I'm gonna put my money and I pull it and bam I'm gonna get $280,000 which was like the progressive thing on the slot $20 later $20 greater that's the lie that everyone tells himself or it's like well look at how peculiar this is like your vagus So it's like why lost $400? But it's like I'll be that guy who lost $400, it's gonna leave Vegas and like, oh, I just put it in a dollar and $1 million. It's gonna be that guy.

That's why you're not gonna be that guy. You lose it out. That's why every casino has that giant slot machine by the exit where you're like, oh, I was walking out. I was like, oh, it's like, the gookie. You're like, they grabbed that last dollar.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, they kicked the nuts, right on the way out the door. Don't let the giant slot machine hit you in the ass on the way out So I'm thinking we should all go to Vegas for a career 21st birthday. What is that? May 2001 Speaking Speaking of which to the carries journal about being in Vegas was pretty awesome I'm gonna be gonna sell that or carry carries playing this 3d you guys were all there what the fuck am I saying?

Why am I asking you I might be dumbed Vegas for a little while. Because I had two trips in one month and another month in one month. There's a little bit much. Anyway. So do you still, do you say, like, what year is it? Jack, what year is it? 2012. What year is it? 2012.

2012. Okay, so good. So I say... It's good now because we don't have to go do the odds. I say 2012 as well. Yeah. I don't say 2012. I don't, I still say 2012. I'll go both ways. Really?

Sometimes there's some people who are in 2001 too. But you said, but you said like 1990, you didn't say, you didn't say 1,990. Please don't start this argument. This is, you didn't start the argument. No, I'm just, I'm just like, don't justify it. It's just what you say or what you don't say. There's no justification for it. It's like the people, the fucking dickheads who would tell you that the year 2000 was not the start of a new century, I wanted the fucking strangled.

I was so sick of that discussion. I wanted to form a fucking strangled those people. Everyone knew it's 2001 anyway. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I just like I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take it. And then why did you kick in? Nothing happened. Nothing happened because of the hard work of all those cobalt programmers. That's probably true. You think the hard work on the mind calendar issue? Is anybody working on that? Hopefully they're hard at work at the the Unix time stamp bug which probably won't affect us. We'll probably be dead by then. So that's positive thinking. Last time we tried to come up with a word that meant what does that feeling

that somebody else smarter than me is working on this, therefore this is okay. But this thing is released to the public, therefore it's been vetted and it's great. It's called Strong Thurman. And I can take it still. Yeah, somebody had a great word for that. I want a new word, which is I want a word for the anxiety

Of watching someone else use a computer You're trying to tell them what to do and look for something you don't take click on that no click it Get that click on the click on the icon the icon that's always It's like how can we take an efficient process and make it as inefficient as possible? The only thing worse is watching someone else play a video game. Who you like guys? I see the exit. It's right there.

Where you're going? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Really, really fun game is actually if you get really drunk with the buddy or whatever you get really fucked up. And it works better on PCs than on Xbox, but basically one person controls like the left right action and the other person controls the actual Walking or whatever and another person controls the shooting and you try and talk your way through levels That's how you make enemies

Have you ever played a video game for the first time in front of one of the developers? Mm-hmm. That's that is that is pinch God. Do you remember the long time ago when they had bungee hump day and they had the new maps We showed up to make a bungee and I'm saying the new maps and we were there Yeah, I remember we had you guys had a theory where we were gonna show up in red and blue jumpsuits with like a like a boom box That way I had a tiger We should have done that. I don't know what you did We were all under the line, but years ago every plan we had involved jumpsuits in a boombox. You're gonna get a dream of joining some of the boomboxes. And then, Daft Punk came and we were like, oh, fuck too late.

Like, every plan we had was jumpsuits and occasionally a van. Yeah, a van. Well, bust out of the van and the jumpsuits with the boombox. God, we got our asses kicked that day. It was in Paris. Like, it was awkward. We got great revenge on him, though. Do you remember how we got revenge? I know. It was awkward. We got great revenge on him though. Do you remember how we got revenge? I know. Making a comment. We sent him that poison turkey. No, we we The only other hump that we were ever involved in was right if we made Griffball and they were like it was

Starting to take off and so they said oh, let's make this hump day Griffball and then no idea how to play. So we were like Hammer I think we just started like nine to nothing. I think there's like nine and nothing first game And then it was like six three and then like five four like pretty quickly. They caught on new what they were doing So we pressed our advantage early. Yes, but yeah, I played a Halo ODST I played with them. I was like we were doing a project with it with that early video we did Which I think that was one of our most popular videos on YouTube, which is interesting in our channel, like one of the ODSC videos. So we get selected up, like you're being like a really popular red versus blue video. But I was, it was a thing where I was watching the first cutscene when you're dropping in the pod and you can look around and I actually hit the button and skipped the first cutscene.

And like the guy was with me, he's like, I shouldn't have done that. Oh well. You just missed the whole back story. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. The only way it could have been worse would be like, yeah, I was boring. And then I gave you started insulting his work to his face.

And then there was a... We had to happen once. What happened? Did we want to get into this? Yeah, there's someone insulted a video game company's new map while we were there. Oh yeah, no, no, no. That was a different thing. I've never, I've there. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, that was that was different thing That was a city. I've never I've never effed up that bad But I have I there's one moment that stings me. I don't know what and we were at uh, I don't know if we could say this publicly or whatever

But it's like we were at Valve Yeah, and we were talking about something and they were talking about a game that he'd worked on oh And for some reason I thought it was gonna be be like, oh yeah, Bethesda made that. And it's like, why the fuck did I say that? Bethesda is fucking make that fucking game. It's like, we're at Valve. Why would you know that? You see that?

It's like, why did I say that? And then it's like you're in a circle for the next 20 minutes of like, why the fuck? Now am I going to make up for it? You know, it's like, well now I have to press my knowledge that I know, you know. You know stuff, it would be. Yeah, then you're at gender based for like the next hour or whatever.

And then you make another mistake, and you're like, I'm the NDPR, because I started digging yourself into a hole. Let me bust out my Gordon Freeman fanfiction. So the, the, the valve thing that you brought up, reminded me of Half Life 2, because we were invited up to go play Half Life 2 before it came out or like right as it was just about to come out.

Oh, wow. And there's that scene where then you go through the alleyway, you can go through the train station and then you go through the alleyways. And you know those big walkers, the, and I'm exploring in the alley, but there's a scene where you're like going down to alley and I was looking at a ladder like in the alleyway to think how to get on the ladder and The walker went by to my left like off screen like it was it was orchestrated so that you were looking down the alley So you saw the walker for the first time you go by and you couldn't get to it almost like the G man is sometimes God damn it and what the guy who is the guy who's with me goes he goes

He goes oh looks she left Look she left And then I look to my left and like the tail of the walker like disappeared around the corner of the building and He goes yeah, that was the Walker he missed the Walker for the first time and like other people I was like he didn't look at the Walker and it's like you can see them reevaluate He like the gay like this so this is so I was looking for ladder and they were like This is why we have like looking at the walk I was looking for the ladder and they were like this is why we have been looking at the walk Oh shit, we gotta remove that distract. This is why like in games now where it's like they force you into cinematic You can't look left or right or whatever like you know what we made a fucking cinematic. You're gonna look at it motherfucker People spend days sleeping on this and I miss shit like that all the time and it's just like clearly

If you're going through a game you're like The game directs you into which direction they want you to go. But for whatever reason I always think there's a guy behind me. Doesn't matter what game there's a guy behind me. And I have to stop and look for it. It doesn't matter what corner it's like well this is I should they want to do this way but there's a guy. So we should make a game or you play the whole game walking backwards. It's like the Don't let the guy read every magazine backwards like I go to the end and I flip forward Why do you do that? What's wrong with you? I don't know I've always been like that where it's like I have to get to the end For I work my way backward. I don't know what it is. I bet this will solve your problem like the idea of writing from left to right

Bows me. Are you your left-handed? I'm left-handed. There you go You know I choose one thing we should do solvus problem. Get Joel for his monitor, a little mirror. So he doesn't turn around the game, he just looks behind him. Like, there you go. And I think I have a weird feeling that would solve your problem. I don't think that's going to solve it. So you think the guy, you think you're

pushing in the game? Is that the guy you want to time? That's why I was like, what you play that, the game with the zombies, the first one. What for did? No, the one before that. Dead Rising. Yeah.

And it was just like, there's a guy behind you. There is guy behind you. I would just say that. It was playing any zombie game. Just like, just be like, hey, there's a guy behind you. It will drive the person crazy. I got to play Dead Island and play the game. No.

No? Really? I was kind of disappointed. I didn't finish it. I got, I think, a little over halfway through. It was some new DLC to hit this week. It was, um, or soon. Yeah, I was, I was disappointed. I feel't finish it. I got I think a little over halfway through some new DLC to hit this week. It was um Or soon. Yeah, I was I was disappointed. I feel like it needed more polish if you make a zombie game Does it have to have the word dead in the title? Is that a requirement? Oh, that's a good question. Is your zombie game?

I'm gonna go that doesn't have the word zombie or dead in the title You get argued dead space is kind of zombies But it has dead in the title. It's the first word in the title That is like the stupidest thing Jack You actually applied the rule to a game that doesn't like you were trying to justify the game You can make the argument that that's made zombie game Yeah, it's the only way I could clear worse if your name is game dead zombie

There's that one game dead dead God damn that doesn't have dead in the title. All right. There you go. All right. We need to wrap this up in it But that's your homework for this week find a zombie game that does not have dead or zombie in the title Where are we gonna eat today? Where are we gonna eat food? Where are we gonna eat today? Where are we gonna eat food? The fave of the dead. No, no, no, let's, let's, let's set space to. I really would like to go eat something today.

For a full lunch. Left for tacos. Zombie taco. Can I tell you something? Hmm. Today I have a special lunch thing I have to do actually. Matt and I are taking Barbara to lunch. Hmm.

Kind of for community manager day. Right. But don't add fuel to the fire. But we also, we also are taking her because she had like her first like negative exposure to community like where she got ganged up on. So we're like gonna go like tell her it's okay. Tell her it's not okay. Fire her. Fire her dead is let her go. It's sort of a weird thing. What did you do? Like, it's sort of a weird thing because it's like anybody that's had that's interfaced with the internet for any period of time. That's everybody.

Yeah, as you're gonna know, there's that side of the internet where there's big heads. Yeah. It's funny too, because they're like gotta say something universally for the internet. the 50's cryptic podcast, f*** face. Call to action.
