Actually, machinamates? Yes, sir. How do you feel about that name? Hashtag machinamates. Are you okay with that name? Everybody? Good with the name machinamates? I'm okay with it.

It's like playing a, it's about machinamates. It kind of reminds me of Anamorphs, but totally, totally different. The lovely voice that you are hearing right now is one of our best friends in Los Angeles. Oh thanks Bernie. Miss Hannah Hart has decided to join us. Hey Hannah Hart has decided to join us. Yay thanks Bernie. You know you're one of the main reasons why when we came out to LA we wanted to record

I came out here actually before everyone came out for the party to be on her show What's Trending, which I was tweeting about all last week. So I said in a little clip of myself, didn't I, but if you'll appear at this one, I'll

show you. Yeah, that was weird. So we came out for the show What's Trending is Sheerah Show. It shows daily on YouTube, what YouTubeoutube.com slash what's trending. And they were having me out to basically celebrate 10 years of Red versus Blue because I just hit my 10th anniversary and make a show. Yay, 10 years of Red versus Blue! Yeah, 10 years of my life, there it goes.

Hard to remember. Hey, at least you have a good way of tracking time. Well, Hannah, you know what it's like because you're one of the most prolific YouTubers out there. I mean, you're working all the time. I would not say I'm one of the most prolific. I am certainly one of the most wrong Which we like you know we actually the name of the podcast used to be the drunk tank podcast

Oh really but we had to change it for a sponsorship purpose I like how we were literally at breakfast this morning We hit the waffle by the way, which is fantastic Bernie was talking about how all the podcast things still have drunk tank in it and you just have on a choose a fucking drunk tank theme this morning. I didn't choose it. It was just also note Gus is not here so Gus is the guy who normally runs the podcast. He acts like a stopover. He's what? I think we're celebrating. He's for breaking bad. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I thought you actually know.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Face come off. 90% of the things I say when being recorded by a microphone or a lie. Well, last last week we did our breaking bad spoiler cast where we tell people we were going to talk all about breaking bad. So if you've never watched the show, you know, breaking bad, don't listen to our podcast that week because I haven't listened to it yet because I've not seen the last episode Oh my god such a show

Hey, did you ever get a chance when you were down in Austin to go to the Alamo draft house at all? No, do you know what that is? So it's a movie theater where they show like lots of like stuff. Oh my god. Funny story about the Alamo Drafthouse. When my drunk kitchen first happened back in like summer of 2011, because you guys can remember that far back a year ago. That's what the terrorist attack. Tweeted at me and emailed me and contacted me, being like you should come to Austin and do something here with us. At the time, you know, I still had a job and I being like, you should come to Austin and do something here with us. That is a lot of time. You know, I still had a job and I was like, what's YouTube?

So I was like, who are these strangers? So yes, I'm familiar with them, have never been and want to go. You should totally do a night at the Alamo. That would be awesome. That's what sold Austin to me at the Alamo Drop Test. Really? Yeah, it's pretty bad. Talked to us.

Not necessarily. Not necessarily. No. Being a fan of our show for eight years. It's a side thing. What was your other job, Hannah? I was a perforator at a translation company. You know Japanese, right? Oh, this is you. Holy.

She was a Japanese translator. And let me see if I have the story right. Because this is how it is in my head. You can correct me if I'm wrong. So you made a video for your friend. Correct. Did she move somewhere? I moved.

You moved. Yes. Okay, and you moved to where? From San Francisco to New York. Oh, I didn't know that. So I always thought you were like a native New Yorker. Ah, yes. I come across that way.

It's delightful. No, I am a native San Francisco. So I have the, you know, abrasive forwardness of an East Coaster with the kind of stone mess. Yeah, we're running out of more than you. Late back in grungee-ness, so we're just going. So you made this video where you were making your first one was grilled cheese, right? You're making a grilled cheese and you decided to get drunk while making grilled cheese.

Yeah, well no, so basically what I have was I was talking to my friend on G chat, you know, a little like a little G chat window and She's like, man dude. I miss when you were like get drunk and cook for me, man It's like giving name actually Yeah, man dude heart So yeah, and I just moved to whatever so I was like dude I'll get drunk and cook right now and my sister had just given me a loan to get this laptop So I shot it all and I slapped it together and I movie and I sent it to her and so the reason that the channel's called like my heart Don't and stuff like that is that but that's like like a really personal nickname with like my family and friends, but now it's own probably.

Yeah, that's fine. I'll never have it again. Anyway, so then it just kind of took off from there. And didn't she post a video? And she was the one who initially like got it out there. I put it on Facebook and then like Facebook spread it around and then I found out that there were shows on the internet first time, which I discovered.

Yeah, and then I chose not to go to graduate school, quit my job and became a full-time YouTuber. Hooray. Yeah, Austin. And then we're to Los Angeles and now live in Los Angeles. Yes, I did recently move to Los Angeles in February. Much to my sugar. Oh, really? It's so good, isn't it? LAs are worth. Yeah, which it really, you know, like you know, late too much. Angeles in February Oh

Yeah, I wish it really you know like you know late too much I'm trying to I'm trying to convince Barbara and Gavin actually LA is a fun place and actually and the meantime trying to convince Jordan over here I like the pretty ladies everywhere in every direction the old times now as you as you call it min the Minge the clunch every direction at all times. No, as you call it, min. The clunge. The clunge. Gavin looks around a bar. And he's like, there's so much min here tonight. What's min? We don't know. Gavin just uses words that nobody understands.

I thought min is like a negative slang term. It sounds pretty bad. I think clunge sounds even worse. Clunge, you can switch our min and clunge. Oh, clear. Interchangeable. But a clunge sounds like something that happens to do break a toilet while it ...it's clunging.

It's clunging, it won't stop clunging. Oh my god, did you plunge it? Well then, I clung it. Oh no! And he mungged it. I later remember a phrase from Gavin called, Frothing at the gush. That's so... That's my favorite.

Oh, good. That's the point from a British TV show called The Inbetweeners. And the guys like, Dude, these women we frothed at the gush. I think even better than. And the guys like, Dude, these women we frosted the cash. I think even better than that is the Australian version, which is fizzin' at the slit. Okay. Oh, yeah.

We'd like to welcome our new listeners to one of the top-up podcasts on iTunes. Oh my goodness. Thank you for joining us. When I was in London over the summer, I found out from this one Irish girl that the Irish called Mouth Herpes Party Barnacles. Nice! the Irish called mouth herpes party barnacles I Was the light-fold thing I've ever heard party is in there makes it yeah I like that with a Irish person says barnacle they sound like a pirate automatically

No, I guess not I didn't realize how close Irish and pirate were. Irish. I rate. But you were in the UK because it less than a year, I guess, after you started your channel, it exploded so much that Google invited you to go over the UK to cover the Olympics for them. So how long were you in London? I was in London for three weeks.

I'm so sorry. I love London. Yeah? We have opposite tastes in life. Yeah, you're like Oh, probably get the guy It's delightful and I'm like The song is good as your Canada song I may or may not have watched that video about a thousand times like John thing

So have you ever while recording a video just got so drunk that everything was unusable? Or would you just keep your eye and just keep putting up? Oh, I'm going to go for about an hour and a half and I only show five minutes. Do the math. Yeah, a lot of it's shit. I imagine an episode for this week right now that's two hours long and I'm like, oh my god. It's a lot of work.

I mean, you've got to get drunk. So I mean, it takes a while a while yeah it does take a while. I pause and wait for the alcohol the process through my body but like why do you do my drug get you weekly? Why do you know my drug this? My drug that? I'm like I said I don't want to die. I love to be alive. Yeah you'll live at the time and it's the frequency of episodes. You need to spin off series, my hungover kitchen or something like that. New spin off series, my rehab life. Every other day. My favorite one is the MRE one, where you're in your garden. Mine's my favorite. I love that one. Yeah.

I like the hurricane one. Yeah, the hurricane. You like the, you like the, the off-the-off ones? Yeah. She, yeah, there's a hurricane and she's, I think, a big beans and a bottle of wine. Yep. It's like pouring rain. She's like a poncho. I was doing it during a hurricane. You would never drink a hurricane. It was on that hurricane head DC. Was that Irene? No, what was that? I don't know, actually.

That was an icon. It was a while ago. It was a while ago. Did you drink a hurricane during your hurricane? No, we really didn't have, we were worried about the power going off, so I just grabbed a bottle of wine and the cannon beans on the side. Now we're in a poncho and it's like,

I'm wearing a poncho and it's like, I'm wearing your hair again. You're in a hurry. Kane. Kane. We made it. We made it. We made it.

We made it. You guys are perfect for each other. You guys love the bad puns. I love it. You know it's crazy though because her story is a lot like yours, Gav, because you started your channel almost by accident in a way too. Because you started slow-mo guys to get a visa. Yeah. Well I'd already put slow-mo stuff on the internet before. Yeah. It was just a it worked. I have a visa. I just like I need a visa and it's

like the oh one visa which is like artist of special. Yeah I didn't I basically I didn't get a degree. Right. So. It's an so so I didn't qualify for any visa to work in this country so I had to the one I could go for was an O1 visa which is like a celebrity visa it's what like actors go to get a new stuff we're just we'll get married yeah but you're and green card does it work for for the UK? I get second. Yeah, essentially gets Canadian citizenship by the U-Barbera. Oh shit. I didn't qualify for this visa so I had enough, well I worked with high-speed cameras and they're kind of rare so I thought well nobody has one of these and no one's doing YouTube videos with these so I just started and hoped I would get one on. And I did,

and it worked. It took two years, but I did. And then like all of his videos have over like one or two million views each. Yeah, here's one video that's on average do more than our videos that we put out. Wow. Just for fun, but you know, almost just great. Well, yeah, I can point that thing at anything. It just looks great. It even looks great or disgusting. Depending on what I am. There may or not be a video on his phone that falls into the disgusting category.

There is one of those who are right. I actually showed it to I just Dean last night and I apologize. I said, I'm sorry for what you can't unsee. The video left on the camera that you were using. It may or may not be a Sexual act of of the male genitalia or it may be I mean just might be Your horrified I'm looking at your face you're horrified, but do you down? You

I'm sorry. Oh my god. Do you want to see it? Gavin why not I'm not black. So Gavin. Gavin. Not the part we see. I never know. What remains to be to you? You are surprisingly tan for a white guy.

It is true, but I'm actually a town. Hannah, I'm going to say one thing, though. I think one of the reasons you like London so much is you were there during the Olympics. It's easy to be biased. I've been there three times. How have you? I love British people.

What do you do? I do. Oh, Oh he's gonna show it. Here it is. What were your thoughts? We gotta keep the audio good. It will not be in the link dump just so. It will be in the link spunk. I'm just taking my phone now. My mouth is open. Just in case Yeah, I didn't happen now You spoiler is annoying that you can't unsee something isn't it because that's a new brain I imagine trying to figure that you can't it's yours forever. Hold on. There you go. No, you're right No, yeah, still that wait are Are you are you repaying it? I see it. I can I got admit, like that topic and the Olympic topic. Here reminds me of all the condoms they bought for the Olympians. Yeah, the sex

village. Are you the incredible sex village that they had? I wanted to go so bad because I figured that I would be like, Hey guys, I know you're all like super fit with like no, you know, body fat whatsoever. But maybe this squishy forms a little bit of a novelty right just throw me in the mix. Go for comfort not for speed. I'm not 90% muscle. What up? I'm not 90% muscle. Yeah what do you think? What do you think is like the pen ultimate like best looking athlete? Like what sport makes the best looking athlete? Hockey. Oh master. Oh shit, really? Is that the Canadian answer?

I'm a little biased. Gymnast, gym master. Gymnast have messed up hands. And like, callicy. Gymnast are two, I don't know, it's almost two lean. Okay, what about diving? I like the ones that gymnast that work with the ball and the ribbon.

I don't know what that is exactly, so. I don't understand. Okay, so when they do the floor routine, the men do tumbling and it's just like tumble, tumble, tumble, stop. Move position, tumble, tumble, I don't understand. Okay, so when they do the floor routine The men do tumbling and it's just like tumble tumble tumble stop Move position tumble tumble tumble stop. Why do the women when they're doing their floor routine have to be like Yeah Just circulates in an artistic fashion You want to get your Olympic commentating on that?

You know what I mean to like what's the point? They're just doing shitty dancing in between like being like and they stop and they're like Backflick ninja kicks with in the air boom. You know what I mean? I know. It's true They have to like play it up almost a little more and look fancy. Yeah, where the guys are just like the soap So they do that thing with a ribbon or is that just something they make fun of and they did rhythmic gym now rhythmic Ribbon's Mick There's a lot of stuff that you just don't hear about for whatever reason like you're we were talking about

Netball, do you know what netball is? No. It's apparently they play it in the UK. It's a It's like yeah, it's basketball. It's basketball without the moving you can't move when you have the ball You can't dribble Yeah, it's like ultimate for me You guys have ultimate It's like ultimate frisbee. Another sport. Do you guys have ultimate frisbee? Yes.

I have any heard of it because Caleb talks about it. I love ultimate frisbee. It's fun. There's a guy who runs our achievement hunter community sites. And he's a die hard lifelong ultimate frisbee guy. Caleb. He's really into that.

He's intense because he just calls it ultimate. Yeah. Yeah. He even used to frisbee. Well, actually, they can't just say itisbee because frisbee is like copyrighted. And what the frisbee lobby would see them basically. He's so serious about he drove to Dallas recently to play a game of ultimate. He's a really sport. But is that an attractive sport? Like obviously like a guy who plays football. He's be place football. I'm talking about American football not a

Sok and there but a guy who's really good ultimate nice. Thank you The Canadians have American football we call it football. No, they have Canadian football Canadian football. It's different No, it's not bad Play with a log instead of a ball I play with a log instead of a ball Throw beer Did you hear about the paper?

Oh, you just, you know, get fired. What can you do? 30 million store of our old talent. How much was going? Well, not ask me for. Listen, this is our our podcast you do not have to be accurate you just have to work from memory so according to my stellar memory that's not at all slowly waning um yeah thirty million

million million million million million sure so Barbara what does that mean to the culture of Canada now that there's no more maple syrup? I've ever going back home, that's for sure.

I'm not sure my face there. You know, all the articles I read online started with the same thing. Oh Canada. You silly guys. So do you feel like living in Canada do you feel like America's little brother sometimes? No. America's not bad? Well, you're our underwear. Oh, is that what it is? Nice. Have you made the transition yet now that you're here on Avisa yourself?

Have you made the transition to full American yet? No, I don't think so only because I don't think I'll ever be that dramatic in life I feel like America. Oh, that's a dig. Wow. Here we go.

I went up last week where I took a pill for the first time. What was on your phone? Gavin was 24 years old, had never taken a pill in his life before. Yeah, we talked about this on an earlier podcast, but I took one for the first time and then Jack tickled my throat

and it popped out and it was, yeah. Well now they're never small, so I'll have a pill again. I actually did manage to get one down. I sort of... You could have traumatized him. You could have really easily done. I'm amazed that people who take pills at the time, they don't even need water, they can just be like, Bosh, I swallow big ones.

Yeah, I can only do it. I have to really like, I have to get into a certain, I have to get into a mental state where I like, I shut my eyes and I try and relax all of my muscles and I like tease it down with my tongue. Tease it, tease it. How big, what's the biggest thing you've swallowed? Go on. Like how big go on what's the biggest thing you've swallowed go on And it was in a great video in Austin. I was kind of inspired by you give where I dared her and griss I should say dared because I paid for it.

Oh the the double caramel liquor dipping sauce Oh my yeah, when Hannah turns around with the mustache on, that's probably the greatest moment of time. I agree. I wish I could turn around with the mustache on right now. What was the thing I saw? There was a still of you online. We had a mustache.

So for a video? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I shot my drone kitchen silent film recently. And I will, you know what? You know how it worked? I woke up and I was like, fuck, it's Thursday.

Yeah, yeah You should do what you do you just said you were gonna do So how do you shoot the show though? Like what's the camera that you use well in the beginning? God created no In the beginning I shot with a laptop Web camera wow on the front of my laptop and then after that web camera on the front of my laptop and then after that a year or so later I shot with the Canon 60D which is what I'm on now. Is that on the screen that

you can see what you do? Yeah, but it's so funny like I feel like shooting on the laptop is so much I don't know this is a weird I don't know now I'm gonna get into like the science of YouTube but like I feel like there's the type of people that appreciate like web comedy or like web stuff like that that's done through, you know, really like low production, low five stuff. And then if it gets too high in production, people actually start to fall off with a webcam on A laptop. Yeah, it's just nuts. I feel a little very very blessed and so happy because I get to like meet all these different people who I she's touching Barbara while she's

Touching I would touch everyone in the room that's all I need to know about Hannah Hart. I'm dead. What's ruining my beautiful moment. We love you. Thank you for joining us. How do we get you down to Austin as soon as possible? You should do a night at the LMO. Yes, that'd be awesome.

And he literally told me when I asked him to go, he goes, I would go, but I don't think I could handle the crowds. Like, that's where he is now. He can't handle going out in public around like people. Yeah. Which is a great job a great trait for a guy who works on the internet. It's to not like people.

is Miss Sierlazar. The Emmy nominated Sierlazar say so S sure you were nominated for an Emmy your show. What's trending is in the digital interactive Don't you don't qualify time time Emmy. Yeah, I know you just say prime time Emmy Yeah, it was really cool. It's the first time that category is around So it used to be you know a lot of the digital properties from big networks are like marketing pretty much It ends up being for marketing dollars right ESPN seems to be one that gets a lot of those nominations or has in the past. Yeah, I mean, it's everything from... I actually kind of was part of another winning Emmy with our Oscars Interactive Experience. So last the other year, I think it was last year we won for the Oscars Interactive, the second screen experience. The thing is it's hard for, you know,

in terms of judging originals versus interactive second screen experiences where networks are putting huge amounts of money, it's like you can't really judge them the same. And so I think they change the categories for the content that was based on, you know, something that's on network TV, that's original to online versus something that is completely original to online. So we now fall into that category and that's going to open it up to so many other people instead of competing against like the Jimmy Fallon online experience. Right. Yeah. How do you compete against that, right? Like a show that has a huge TV audience

that they're just like throwing online for something else. Yeah, it's weird because that's what we deal with on our podcast because our podcast is a place where we compete with more mainstream media Yeah, and we always talk about like an iTunes last week. We were number four But we're always like battling NPR which is we always make the joke of are we paying taxes? Get them out of our way You know that's amazing for you the fact that and it says a lot about what you guys do that you can go up in numbers again Something like NBR which probably put you know, they probably put a lot more what you guys do that you can go up and numbers again something like NBR, which probably put, you know, they probably put a lot more resources in money. They don't have a ton of resources, but there's something more there you could say.

Right. Well, plus we'll talk shit about NPR all day. No, I love NPR. Listen, NPR is great. It's very informative. Okay. Yeah. Notice we're not going to talk shit about like Joe Rogan, because we might actually run

into Joe Rogan and he's like, I'm trying to get him in the middle. He's the shit I'm looking at. Joe's in the space, he's online a lot now. Yeah. So yeah, so it's exciting and we're, I think nominated against USA Today thing project.

I don't even know, honestly. Fuck you. Yeah, right. I'm gonna say today you or USA Networks or something. She's Canadian. You guys are both from Montreal. No way. You're from Montreal? Yes. See how he sat on this back until we got here? No, we bonded even more. I'm not in Montreal. The ladies love me. Oh my god. I've been told I shouldn't be saying oh my god by the way really who do this what my pretty No, I'm gonna say golly gosh

Good people might be insulted and then it does sound a bit of valley. Oh my god Well, I get the valley thing we talked about frothing at the gash on the Oh my or wow Awesome, I just don't like an archie comic when you do Oh my or wow awesome So Barbara with all this female attention have you ever considered Drinking from the furry cup How come you for Missons are worse than the actual same act They are known as disphemisms

Barbara you do attract a lot of female attention. It is true. But this is something I've discovered about every woman I've ever spoken to. If a woman had a clone of herself, they would make out and they would want to freak out with herself. I wouldn't want to make out with myself. What? Would you? I don't know. I don't know. I guess I'd be interested in like, it's be more of like interested in seeing what I am like, not because I'm like, oh, attracted to myself. Listen, I got a soft mouth. So I would want to kiss that.

Is that what they tell you? So Barbara, would you want to kiss the female version of yourself or a male version of you? That would be a bother. Well, we've seen the male version of you when I swapped our faces yesterday. Oh my God. So Gavin has this app where you take a picture of two people and it swaps the faces out. Oh yeah, it's cool. Of Gavin, which is the thing that nightmares are made of. He looks like the 15 year old version of himself because you have long straight blonde hair and I know this here right now. And we'll put this picture up in the linked up so you can see it. Oh my!

I need to say it too much. So sure one of the cool things we get to do is for the podcast it's audio format but the way MP3s are now I don't even know the actual digital format we use but we can embed pictures in it so if you have like a smart device that actually shows up while we're talking about it. Yeah. Yeah. So in your show now, you guys just relaunched what's trending? We've launched, relaunched daily live on YouTube. So we were before a cross-lifetime stream, YouTube, iTunes, and we kind of partnered with YouTube to go daily because we are a weekly show and it's hard to really do what's trending and really create a consistency with your audience if

you're once a week, which a lot of people are, but we look at ourselves as like a 24-7 platform. So we knew daily would be coming, it was just a matter of the timing and resources. And so we've already seen, you know, an increase in subscribers and audiences, because people know what to expect. More so also, we were much broader social media before. We were like, what's trending on the internet?

And people were like, isn't that really broad? Like, what exactly could it be like anything? It's your net. Well, it's like South by Southwest, they have the interactive convention, which is like, that's so broad. It's like a cluster so broad. Yeah, it's like covering outdoors, you know, it's like it's a lot of stuff. But you know, it's also because when I came up with the idea, it was like in October of 2009, when everyone specifically October.

I just realized I'm like October of 2009. And it was when you know, what's turning on Twitter was just starting to use that phrase and I felt like October of 2009. And it was when, you know, what's turning on Twitter was just starting to use that phrase. And I felt like there needed to be a show instead of just having these blogs and video blogs about these things. Why don't we have a show format around all of this and this culture. But then I think what we realized in producing this the past year was that all these trends or things that rise to the top, even from Reddit, everything kind of comes back to video.

And if you have a video show, you're always like, oh, how do we visually explain this? And it was always coming back to YouTube. It was like, okay, well, this is a video on YouTube that's rising as this story is getting bigger because people are on the ground taking video of this or someone got an interview and that went viral because this story is being searched more. And so I think it was a natural step for us to go more YouTube based and hovering than what was trending on YouTube. Because, you know, trends lead to video and as broadcasters, it's like we try to explain

what we're talking about through visual. Visual. Visual. It's just crazy how much stuff there is now and how much information is flowing. If you blink, you entirely miss something You know where like something can rise and fall on the trending charts before you have time to pay attention to it Even like like when Robert Pattinson and this girlfriend what's your name Kristen Stewart when they Broke up I

Didn't know anything about it though I found out about it two weeks after it happened because I was out of town No, not in the room. I wasn't I wasn't keeping up with my daily She was diddling the direct tolls. Yeah, there's no way. Oh my god I don't know what a lot of new terms Hey, all your people are gonna say I'm now realized you know every It's once once a day or something you realize you're using a word a lot that Yeah, and now I've been pointed what that word is now it's just creeping every once a day or something, you realize you're using a word a lot that day.

And now I've pinpointed what that word is. Now it's just creeping. Oh my God thing. Now I brought it up. You'll just be more aware of it. Yeah, only you will notice it though. I'll take you point out the audience what you did. So then.

No, I didn't. Now I'm going to be counting. Now there's going to be count doesn't look a grudge. But how many drones in a time? I think, all right, going back, though, YouTube explains a lot about our culture and how we share things. A lot comes down to what we're sharing on YouTube these days. It's interesting.

I don't think it's about putting all your eggs in one basket, but we see from Hannah Hart to all these stars to the people that, you know, if there's a big breaking news story, a lot of the videos that come up are from YouTube, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's a crazy story like she goes from Japanese translator post a video online and within a year She's full-time entertainer. Yeah, I mean, and that's an anomaly. That's like lightning in a bottle True. Those are people that you know overnight could have been in the back of the day discovered or was part of something and then everyone thought they were hilarious and then they spun off into their own thing. I think we've seen examples of that in the past, but then now it's just, it was so much faster than it did, right? Because you could do it on your own and then everyone can discover you and then if you're smart enough,

you can create into something real. I think it's crazy just to get like a documentary or, you know, just a piece which is people just telling those stories of discovery of like crazy just to get like a documentary or you know just a piece which is people just telling those stories of discovery of like just there's like their origin stories in a way like here in Hannah talk about it and like a Jenna Marbles you know. If you subscribe there's a new documentary this guy Dan Dobie. Uh huh. Oh yeah you weren't in town yet for that. Nope. Um it's screened actually at YouTube this week and it's following a few of the stories like including Hannah. It also has Mitchell Davis, Mr. Utarman and a few others. I mean he he had shot even more people but for the purposes of the documentary like

how long it needs to be in the story but it does follow and tell their stories of how they came to be but in a really interesting way and then also the also the pitfalls of cheaping up with that, you know, like Dan Brown, where he had all these subscribers and then he did this project and then he saw a drop and what that was like for him where he got into a really dark place and repercussions of putting yourself out there on this medium and then having all these people loving you and then overnight, sometimes even hating what you're doing. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, in a way, you can kind of look at it as potentially like the new reality TV and that somebody could get involved with this becomes super well-known,

but not be sustainable, you know, but then they're kind of stuck with that notoriety, but no, like real success. Yeah, no business. Yeah. I thought that would be really hard for reality stars of like, they walked on the street, everybody news who they are and they're like, why am I not more successful? Because everybody knows who I am. But it's just like, they don't get that they're not, they're not behind the whole thing. They're out front. I mean, he's on day because on partner's project, our other show that we continue because

we love doing it. It's like inside the actress studio for YouTube stars. Is that a Taze on Day? Who did the chocolate rain? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, like he he's continued since and he actually does voices for the MLB. Really? Yeah. That makes sense. Which you would not know because he doesn't talk about it. So we get some other voiceover work

and he continues his other YouTube videos, but ultimately everyone knows him for this one viral video. Yep. Which is great. I mean, South Park made him into a character. And he gets all his notoriety, but he did a Dr. Pepper commercial too, as I recall. Yeah. So right after he goes, he said to me, I either could have gone like completely one direction of, I'm going to just sell out and take everything that's coming to me, or I'm going to not take advantage of this at all and go the other way. And he's like, I kind of stayed in the middle or I didn't really take advantage as much advantage as I could have. And now he's like, I make a decent living, but I don't make crazy money. You know, and he was there. And he's like, I'm not like a huge YouTube star. You could see that. Yeah.

Yeah. And it's interesting when you approach people with a hoop star. What they how they perceive their careers based on other people. Chocolate Rain, by the way, has 83 million views. So yeah, that was an original voice like before he hit P. W. T. I. God. I know. He probably was like a soprano in the church choir. Yeah, no, I know what you mean.

A lot of things that we see too, a lot of times we see this, it's happened less and less lately as people have been more successful online. But a big thing was, somebody would get successful online, they would get a TV deal, like for a pilot, they would just abandon their web audience for that,

they would go into like an 18 month cycle where they were in that, and they would develop a pilot. And as those things tend to do, they would not go anywhere. And then you'd watch those people try to come back and recapture their web audience and not be able to do that. Yeah, and so that's why I think more people are wary of taking those deals because the

deal, I mean right now there's either I think big companies that understand it and understand that they can't own the artist and it it actually works better for them. And it benefits the big company. If they let the artist do what they're doing with their online community, plus another version of what they're doing and or an experience with maybe a TV show or a movie or something. But you know, some people are starting to get it. But it's still hard because ultimately comes down to ownership and who's getting the money, right? And so it's like, why if you're bringing, if you've all the leverage, why would you, you know, just let that go? Yeah. Right? For like, what a deal that's probably going to end up ending, you know, six months after the show, we're getting canceled, you know? The crazy thing to be doing is like, it's so, it's like some of the biggest things on the internet. We don't, we talk about ownership. We don't

know who made them. They just kind of like rise out of it. But somebody, there's some person sitting at a computer somewhere in the world who started the original thing. Like the first person who made one of those memes or the first rage face barb. Yeah, who made that? Who's the guy who drew the troll face? God. Someone really. Like if from God. Like the ground that was extra to a rock. There's not much better in the world than rage faces because they can be such perfect emotion Like I only talk to you in rage face. That's it. Yeah, we're just talking That's a great way to communicate. It is internal email in the office as well Seriously conversation and bubble just chucking a rage face

One was recently we just had our water on our fridge break like the little thing that you dispense water and ice and It finally got fixed and Carissa and email saying oh it's fixed like feel free to drink all the water your body could handle so I sent back a rage face of like the guy crossing his arms saying challenge accepted you go drink a lot of water that day I'm gonna drink all the water my body could handle my favorite is whatever an email goes about people going places and barbers either out of town or she's working late and she can't go she just sends the okay face okay like that fun guys forever alone that's it that's also how she communicates

you know you had a labor day barbeque and bring it was like we're gonna have so much fun bring your friends we're gonna be and all this food and I was still out of town I'm like okay actually that I did that once with my boyfriend I was still out of town. Oh, okay. Actually, I did that once with my boyfriend. I was so mad. Oh, I know. Sorry, Barbara. With my ex-boyfriend. My friend who's a boy.

Well, anyway, I'm not going to be nervous. We got in a huge fight and I was like crying. Go on. And I said, I said a picture of my face after crying and it looked probably really horrible and sad. You did that really? You sure were rubbing it. And I thought this is what you did. And then I think he felt more bad than me being like, I'm crying right now. All right, you like I'm really pissed off

Right seeing and then I think seeing that Really, you didn't know that yeah Yeah, right interesting Then she also said I'm gonna tell the cops you did this I would I would never take a photo like that and send it to a potentially, at that moment, potentially X, right? You're really taking a risk by doing that. Because, like, okay, Facebook.

I am no background. I am no background. I am no background. This is awkward. But I want to know, like, who made the thing we've discovered this week? She really has a segment on her show where she shows the top five training videos at the moment. Yeah. And we have discovered one that I've known about for years and Garrett, who was with us

this week and from megast 64, he knew about for years, which is the, you have it on your phone, the interior crocodile alligator. I knew nothing. What is that? It's just a loop suck. I like it. And we have been playing this nonstop while we've been here. He hooked up the Bluetooth from Gavin's phone to the rental car that Bernie had and it just leaves forever

Are you ready for it? Oh? No, that was my Everybody's popping their heads to this. That's a good beat. What is that? It's from a video? And it's just an alligator. And it's just an alligator. I was talking to documentary footage of an alligator.

It's like just like plumpin' out. That was like, that's so old on the internet. That's like goes back to like E-bombs world and you know, and then somebody uploaded to YouTube and got, you know, a couple million views for being the person who uploaded it. Is this just recently? They just discovered it recently. I've known about it for years. The video is 2008.

Yeah. I know your meme is really fun because usually you can, you really want to, you can track these things back. We really want to. You know what's more the crazy ones is, you know those demotivational posters that are everywhere on the internet where instead of like showing the eagle and saying success or on the wings of Eagles it has like a ship sinking and it says failure you know your life is a To serve as an example to others like those demotivational posters with the blackboarder and the saying those are everywhere online

I actually know the guy who made that and I know the guy who he sells posters He runs a company called TheSpare.com. He's actually, that's actually the company that ships all of the Ruchertief products and merchandise. Because they sold so many of the damn posters, they spun off the shipping company into a totally separate company. And yeah, it's really, to me, it's really interesting because I know somebody where something that everyone thinks is just kind of like public domain or that kind of rose out of the,

you know, collective psychological environment of the internet, I actually know the guy who made it, and who owns that, and sells those things to this day. It's also time on in the office, where it said, get back to work, you're not paid to believe in the power of your dreams. Right, you're not being paid to believe in the power of your dreams. What did you think about that people using

when he started, and maybe him not making money from that? You know what, he's a really smart guy. He just found a way to kind of bank on that. And what he did is he made a system where people can come and custom make their own with their own photos and their own sayings. And then it just prints them on demand. I feel like they keep come whole brand. Yeah, I feel like everyone's like done their own version of that, right?

You're British. Do you even know like that that's the saying because that's a British slogan history? It was from the war, wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah, the war. That will war is the throne. You family who are soldiers in the whole. It was not your impression. It was like down ten. I do really get impression of you Gavin. Go on then. Give us some. Whoa. You're loving. What did you like? Didn't know they were legs. Good. It's good. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. That's what I said. There's two Gavin's. I always wish I had a British accent. No, you don't. So now that we've actually posed a question as Gavin, can we, can we get to the science portion of the podcast and piss off most of our audience right now?

You have a topic in mind that you want to ask because this has come up recently with the curiosity lander on Mars and all that. I know the space shuttle program is mothballed at this point in time. But here's here's what I want to know. So where does the space shuttle take off from? Florida. You know, right Florida takes off the Florida and where is mission control? Houston. Right. it's in Houston. And where does the space shuttle land? California. Right, and where's the Air Force space in California?

Why? Why is it at the JBL or something? Why is it at the JBL location? Why is it split up all across the country? Why don't they take off? I know, it seems a bit counterproductive. It does. A lot of money that's used.

NASA is like investing in real estate They have to take the shuttle in yeah, they put the shuttle on a plane I think it's so the astronauts can feel like they're actually traveling Landed back in the same place. They're like what the fuck? They landed back in the same place. They're like, what the fuck? It's a bigger deal when you need to be in multiple places like okay, we start in Florida. Then we go to Pasadena in California. Maybe it's just where it came down the first time. That works. That's all the time.

They're just really superstitious. They have to land on America and they just made it. Do you know what's really scary? Is in having this conversation with people we talked about it a little bit this weekend? How many people think that the space shuttle lands in the ocean? That they just sink the goddamn thing into the ocean? That would just say, why is that? That's because it happens in movies or something. I think the cap-tags are like for I think the may get Apollo missions they landed into the ocean. I think the main thing is that they landed in the ocean.

I'd be annoyed if I made it all the way through space and back and then drowned in the ocean. That would be pretty bad. It's like surviving a plane crash but being trampled to death. There's a spatial that took off. I want to say maybe like six or seven years ago, maybe even more, that like blew up in takeoff. Sooff right so like are you talking about this like this is not a known thing I Am Very young anyways, I'm just saying I heard one time was his president who got shot

I Keep going so tell us more about a space shuttle seven years ago that blew off on take a little bit ago I'm just saying it's really sad that's like you spent all this year training to be an astronaut Do you know the name? Oh, okay, I was gonna ask you that wasn't seven. She got prompted by our hidden guests I may or may not have been helped on that you didn't you didn't know the challenger. I did know the challenger I knew what happened and my heard I'm on this couch. Yeah. That was actually I think there was 1987 Barbara's when it happened. Yeah, Columbia would you think Columbia was on reentry that one burned up on reentry. There's two. He's lost two. Yeah. I remember like hearing about that. I mean like it's scary. Yeah. I feel like we're still figuring stuff out, even though we know everything about what

works, so it doesn't. Now with all these celebrities that are going to space with Richard Branson, I think they're going just to the space. It's not really space. It's like the space tip. Space tip. The first. Space porn.

They just go to the space. The space coast. I think just going to the space coast. Yeah, I think they go into a really high orbit, like way up in the atmosphere where it's like the atmosphere, you can see the curvature of the earth. But you can't see the whole earth. It's not like you're hanging out there. You can never see the whole earth. Why not?

With the front and the back and the space. No, you're done. You mean you just see the entire roundness of your full roundness? I think you gotta get pretty far away to see that I'm not sure they see them the space station. I want them to drop a camera from all bit go ahead facing the earth And film it all the way down and like have that in a movie. I think they do that on Google Earth So you can zoom in yeah, so they just bring it There's been like kids that have with balloons or something like did it by themselves in that crazy

There's been like kids that have with balloons or something they like did it by themselves in that crazy Yeah, with like a lot of Oh, oh, oh, they use I think a GPS a camera on a timer and a weather balloon and a hot dog and a hot dog Right, and they're like out there to press the button and they go they just they just fill the weather balloon up It goes up until it the it like the pressure Expansed so much that it pops and it falls back to earth and they find the camera. And then I found that towards close to them which is also, I find it. Yeah, it seems weird right? Yeah. How does it happen?

Yeah, I have no idea. Maybe you just don't straight up and straight down but I can't. I usually fall within like 10 or 15 miles you know. Do you really hear those stories about those giant balloons and like a kid walk into them and get caught and then they will take off and the kid looks away? No. What are you talking about? I swear there's a story about some like military thing. There was balloons everywhere.

And little girl, it walked up and got her legs stuck in it. And they, she just flew away. No. Okay. So what I'm hearing here is that the British military uses balloons? That's what I'm hearing. It's a... It's like a balloon strike.

Is this such thing as a military balloon? Keep calm and keep inflating Military blue I mean there's like blooms I'm sure they use balloons in some capacity in the military. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that she just like yeah went up in there So there's a balloon but she went too high and she didn't make it you got to You got this guy back. He was really cold. You got this guy to me. Less or less. She walked into what? She just walked nearby and the blue track. You walk in a balloon. Like Wayne point from the flaming lips. She's like No, and he goes in that balloon. You know, I think you're confusing it with. I think you're confusing it with the the hoax

Where the guy built the weather balloon thing in his backyard, right? Then it went up in the air and they said their kid was in it. Oh, that was messed up. Yeah. And the parents lied and they had like reality shown for national attention. Yep. Wow. I think they might have done jail time for that.

You're a messed up man. Because it cost the state money to search and rescue. Yeah, and they had to to shut down the airports. And they were trying to figure out, like, how do we get this balloon down without like shooting out of the sky and getting the kid to drop 10,000 feet or whatever? I think that's what you might be thinking about. I never heard of the military... With Google, the girl taking by balloon.

Go sweat away by balloon. It's probably a really not funny... Yeah. It's panogram. She was... Yeah, it's kind of grim. She was, her body was found two hours later near the balloon 40 miles away. What happened to her? Oh, that's fine. Oh, this is a really short one.

The morbid portion of the podcast, everyone. A British five year old girl has been killed after being swept away by a helium balloon in Germany. A military helium balloon? Wait, was she brilliant? It was about to be used for fun rides, a British military show. Oh, oh, okay That's a little different. So it's a fun ride It was in the arm balloon and she got what it means swept away. That's not that's how you just a balloon doesn't sweep anything Conch attack her like hook

Yeah, I guess it was a ride and she blew away Wow Oh, yeah, I guess it was a ride and she blew away Wow Like she was some balloon thing where like kids would be taking me and the rope snapped as she went off I Never heard of this ride ever I've never been to a carnival where they said get on the bull by yourself Float away and also it's a military show. Did no one have a gun to shoot that thing down Oh, I guess she would hit the deck really hard actually would probably so I

Fucking firemen Also, you think the military shows they're like working with live ammo It's live fire training the military show shoot down with a tank They can they can dive bomb it with like a tank killing plane and shoot her out of the sky. Well, I'm sorry that that happened to her, but I don't believe that story. No, we don't know why the space shuttle lands in Florida. I mean, California. You know what I would do if I was in charge of the space program and the space shuttle program. So you said, I would let them fly up. And then I would have them land in Russia and not tell them and just be like,

what's America? Like they went through some wormhole and like totally change reality when they get back to earth. They'd be like the greatest side by prank of all time. And just shoot them. It like becomes like a big brother reality. No, just welcome back like they're like like they're Russians, you know, and that's why they're actually with jobs. With jobs. Like sound of thunder, something changed while you were up there. You're a nice, you're a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice, a nice I did that creepy. That is a picture of Tinku-Wink next to a human. They are giant. It's crazy They actually they're good like crazy. They have to get like special European 30 pound bunnies that hop around

Telly-Tubby Land to make them what's in it, but they're giant The sun on that show with like the fucking baby face Super creepy. There's dude in the seat. They're absolutely massive. No, it's like Joel, it's probably heavy. Yeah. Yeah, what are the wiggles that are from Australia? They make so much money. Yep. It always seems like if you can do that, if you can start a kids thing and run it for like four or five years, you're set forever.

Yeah, I mean, I met these guys. I interviewed them once in a while when I was with CVS when they came on the early show. They're like older guys. You know, they're jumping around talking about things. I mean, you never get old, right? And you're making so much money just, you know, laughing around excited. Yeah, you can never. You're like why they take off. And it's kind of a weird. I love you, but it's not like a boy band. I love you. It's more just like you're safe Right, I'm gonna have a good You know the guys we were talking yesterday on she or show when I was on the

Talk about Taser RV. We're talking about Home Star Runner, which was one of the early inspirations for Things they were trolling the comments and that's why they has Oh, did they really that if you would ask you that because he didn't know right He's like hey, when you make more Somebody asked out in the show. It was like I don't think this person understands what we're talking about But those guys are right for yoga baga now. Yeah, and they do the aquabets Super show Talk about super show, but I still miss home star runner now, and I wish they would make more me too

I wish they would or they make a final one. That would be cool too, you know Maybe they say they're not gonna they haven't stopped yet, but they're just slow. I guess they're they're preoccupied and they they always want to have it to come back to Sure people who are nostalgic like us So on your show yesterday too we were talking about how we hire people out of the community So Jordan here is the person who draws the animated adventures based on our podcast. That is so cool. And so you just started doing it. Yeah, I just started it like for fun.

I was really inspired by Home Star Runner. Yeah. One summer I was watching a whole lot of Home Star Runner. It's like, I'm going to make my own cartoon. And so I took something from the podcast and put it up and everyone liked it and then it just kept growing That's okay because you make you make everything so much fun. Yeah, it's true Make things so much fun. Yeah, it's a funny group of people we have on the podcast in terms of people from the community That's true Gavin and Barbara as well. Yeah, that's it. It's your point. Yeah

Gavin and Barb started listening to the show we're watching the show when they were like 15 I was 14. Yeah, that's it. It's your point. Yeah, yeah, Gavin and Barb started listening to the show or watching the show when they were like 15 I was 14. Yeah, I'm 24. Yeah, we even do this a long time I was 13 And you were in Canada Yeah, okay, and then you all connected just you were we were just like Stockers, no, I'm just getting groupies Groupies, that's yeah, 50-year groupies. And then how did you connect with Bernie and everyone?

We just got really involved in the website and the community. Yeah. She ran on one of our biggest fan events in Toronto. It was part of it, which was our VBTO and Gavin. I just, he would make funny posts on the site all the time and actually visited him when I went over to, remember, speaking engagement I was telling you about where I went to the site all the time and I actually visited him when I went over to, remember the speaking engagement I was telling you about? Where I went to Paris and I had to do 30 minutes presentation on Machinima, but because I don't speak French, they gave me a translator.

I only had to do 15 minutes and they kept me there for a week. So I went over the train and met him when he was 17. Yeah, 16. 16. Which is the dream, you know, that's why you make an internet show is to meet underage men in Europe. That's why you do it. So, yeah, so I went over and met him then and we just started working together. He actually directed one of the seasons of Red versus Blue before he started

Slomo guys. So, and I was telling him how to apply did I did the Slomo guys just to get the visa to work a rickety. I know how it works. And it exploded into a show now that they get more views on average for their videos than we get on anything. So, it's crazy. I love it.

No, I mean, that's how things happen. But it is really interesting. All these people that are so young are just starting brands or what they're doing. And then it just they continue it by 25. They're experts, right? Yeah. It's like that 10,000 hour rule. You can get those 10,000 hours so much more quickly these days, right?

Oh, yeah. Because people are starting when they're 15. You see like everyone's like a wonder can, right? Yeah, that's true. Which is basically to the 10,000 hour rules to be an expert in any craft. You spend 10,000 hours on that craft, right? Yeah. And then you need that's how you hold on to 10,000 hours. 10,000 hours.

10,000 hours. Someone with no math here. No, God, I don't know. What's this called? Let's talk five years. I always feel 24, 10,000 divided by 24. I always feel used to this when I can't work out a really round number like 10,000 to buy that by some way.

If I did 10,000 hours of work, 60 hours a week on something that is 416. Oh, stop it, you. But that's 24 hours. It's 166 weeks. So 60 hour weeks for about three years. That's what we're talking about. It makes sense now with the YouTubers, right? Man, people like internet addicts. You're up every day, you said 6am, right? I have to be at work now every day at seven because what we have, I know that's the thing is Hannah

Hannah. She was about to puke in our house almost just fell asleep 7 o'clock Well, it's funny because Hannah says you know because she you know does it with her webcam and then we have HD cameras and Yeah, I know it's how I like Slow pushing on the cameras You know, it's because for us we want it to be able to watch on every screen and our thing of it as like a 360 brand. And you come from a background of network news.

So. Hi, I really do. Everyone thinks I do, but I really, I mean, I happened to be at a news network, but it was always digital. Like I was always the digital person, wherever I was, which ended up being kind of the black sheep at every organization, where they like really, they respected you because they kind of knew that it was the next thing that you're part of, and they would go to you for ideas. Right.

Ultimately, you know, there was a bit of a disrespect or a disconnect. Well, the viral department anywhere is, hey, we want you to get tons of views and a lot of exposure for no money whatsoever. That's what it means to them. Yeah, or they what they do is you're already doing it online for years and then they just put their TV person on it and like we were doing something called what's trending and then the network at the time launched a segment on TV even though we were the brand on their site called Trender Bender. Wow, really? Talk about it. It just goes down so horrible.

You know what I mean? It's like, she's better. Old. It's just like an old version of like what an executive producer thinks is relevant, like a spin-off. You know, the oldest type of spin-off you can have. But I see that happens so many places. And you know, that's what keeps us going.

We've been through so much what's trending as brand. We've been around, you know, since April 2011 is when we launched. So it's really young. And we're a blog where, you know, obviously, daily show or social media, everything is really important. But I keep seeing so many other networks and traditional companies wanting to do what we're doing. So while we might have a lot of challenges that it just inspires us to keep going that we're on the right path.

Because why would we just, you know, even if we're going through some hard times, you know, stop what we're doing, what so we can just get hired to do what we're doing for someone else, have no upside. Yeah. No, that makes sense to me. I mean, that's what we've been doing for 10 years. It's going to do it. Exactly.

I mean, yeah, it's funny. You met my dad yesterday. Yeah. Green room. Yeah, Emily. And my dad even was really inspired about what you're doing goes, yeah, I was talking to him just asking him, I know it's a different niche and a different audience, but it's still the business models. And ownership, you know, it's very similar. So yeah, he was asking all the right questions, which is interesting as well, you know, because he also is very, you know, involved and he's kind of an entrepreneur. So I, I'm fortunate enough to have grown up around entrepreneurs, which I do think helps.

Whereas if you gave me bagels, he has a bagel. Yeah, he ran a bunch of weird, a bagel. I should have brought them. Montreal bagels are the mom. They are special. Yeah. Honey, water oven, Oh Montreal bagels are dim on they are special. Yeah honey water of in Meant when I when I was there I had one of those the guys from epic meal time are from

Montreal and they told us they told us to go to Schwarze's Delhi have a smoke me sandwich wow dude that was awesome It blows away anything I've had in Texas Yeah You should see the line about there at like two in the morning on a Saturday and people are fucking smashed. How have you smoked me? Did I know? Who's that now? Oh, you know, you just noticed you're friends, even though you're from Toronto. I'm not from Toronto.

Oh, were you from? Well, I was born in Montreal and then moved to Toronto. Oh, there you go. And then went back to Montreal for school. So I don't know where I'm from. I'm from Canada. I'm from Canada. Both of the teens, do you guys have boot day?

I did. I like some. I give you. I was like, booting. Yeah, sounds really good. Gavin and I did I'm like some I give up like poutine Sounds really Gavin and I were just in Toronto and I gave him poutine to try for the first time I think if you avoid describing it and avoid using the word cards It sounds better. I just know I just say fries melted cheese gravy. It's so good. It's pretty good I had to it warmed me as it went down the best junk food I've had all over the world are poutine, or poutine, and meat pies in Australia.

That's like the greatest thing ever. Really? It just sounds so... That's what I was saying. That makes me a meat pie in Australia. Yeah, we've got meat pies. Do you do? In the UK?

All right, well I'm fascinated by it. It's like a handheld pot pie, the greatest thing ever. But a ton of meat pies out here. It's not so. Sounds like another version of a of Meat Pies out here. It's awesome. Sounds like another version of a hamburger. Another type of hamburger. Yeah, which is a good thing. Yeah.

You got a meat pie. Yeah. You're not turning me off at all by calling it that. Yeah. I'm so, so, I'm bored. I don't like when people call the pizza a pie. A pie? It's really misleading.

That's annoying. Pizza pie? Yeah. Here's your pie. All right. You've ever had Chicago deep dish pizza? That's a pie. The real stuff. I know. Well, this is what happens in our podcast all the time.

We end right before lunch. We're always on the air. So where we are in downtown LA, we can go right after the podcast to Philippe's, which is the place that invented the French dip sandwich. And it's right around the corner from our engineers. Notting his head. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't you say the French dip because of some dude called French? I don't know, but it was one dude who came in every day and requested it. Yeah, it's a good thing. Didn't you say that's good? The French did because of some dude, cool French.

I don't know, but it was one dude who came in every day and requested it and so they just made the sandwich. And there's one thing the French have stolen from us. Now we invented the sandwich and then they stole it. So, Shira, thank you for coming on the show.
