There was legitimately a pool of blood behind the set here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 So I guess Brandon, he was pulling some images. Like you can see if you're watching the stream behind me, there was legitimately a pool of blood behind the set here. Yeah. So I guess Brandon, he was pulling some images. Like you can see, if you're watching the stream behind me, there's a poster right here. And yeah, we had to pull the glass out of it because it had a bad reflection with the camera. And so I guess he was taking the glass out and managed to slice his thumb open.
Starting point is 00:02:38 It was like, it was right behind me. I know it was bad when Matt said, you need to go clean yourself up. And I was like, oh, Jesus. Yeah, like he's telling me in my ear that I guess when we started the podcast, the shot was stuck on me because he was bleeding all over his keyboard. I couldn't switch the shot away from me. So, let's go at it. Start. We need to call some medical attention here. Happy 20th. So, 2013. 200th podcast. I bought myself a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Starting point is 00:05:12 coming. Yeah. Just a life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gavin diving into a giant balloon. Yeah. So I was I was a little shocked. I know the way I knew Dan was coming to the US was Bernie mentioned a tweet about how he was landing in Vegas with you. I was like, what the fuck? Like, aren't you supposed to be in the army? Yeah, it was literally like the day before we were going to Vegas. It was like, oh, do you want to come to Vegas? Yeah, sure.

Is the quiznose down the street? Was it toky? Yeah, I remember I had a beef. I've got that to get the memory. All right. All right. Well, there's a cat apparently jumping on Dan's shoulder now. How do you like Austin so far? You guys went out last night, right?
Starting point is 00:06:09 Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Down the sixth, three, I think it was. Yeah, it was decent. Yeah, they have a good quiz on there. Yeah, yeah. I hope you went to the quiz notes down there. Not to any like great bars or anything.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I feel like I should go there every time I come in. Just keep tradition. Why not? Sure. Sweet. All right. Well, I was good seeing you down. We were just like, we're just exploiting you so I can use you on tradition. Why not? Sure. Sweet. All right. Well, I was good seeing you down. We were just exploiting you so I can use you on the thumbnail for the video now and
Starting point is 00:06:29 be sure you're in the slow-mo guys. You said that people call me grunchy or whatever. I've had some really weird ones before. I've got the grouchy. I'm about used to work at a supermarket with Gav. I was like a first job. And I was stacking the shelves. and they had a town I think and it comes out and says, oh,
Starting point is 00:06:49 can Mr. Grouchy please contact 274? And this guy next to me goes, oh, that guy's got a shit name. And I was like, cheers man, thanks for that. That's standing right next to me. Yeah, I had Grouchy Grinchy, Gouchy Grouchy. Yeah, Gouchy, Gouchy, Gouchy. That's a whole collection, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:03 How did you have that after the Champagne? How did you and Gavin meet each other? Like, where did you work at? You used to work at the same way, Trose? That was where you worked, right? Yeah, that was where we met. We actually knew each other at school, but Dan was a fully blown loser.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I don't know what I didn't like him. But how was he a loser? He was, I don't know. He was all Gouchy and Gouchy. He used to sit by this trophy cabinet with a bunch of, like... What of like What does that mean? He would sit by a trophy cabinet? Yeah, like that's where you would hang out a literal trophy cabinet There was like a cabinet of trophies at the school and one for like spoiling events You just he's stand by that why would you stand there? I was just where people Friends I used to play football and chill out those guys and Gavin thought they were all losers
Starting point is 00:07:39 Were you responsible for any of the trophies or just like being in the glow? Yeah, yeah, it was I was just like asking other people to go. No, just yeah, I haven't just knew me as a trophy cabinet wanker. Then I went around his house and played Halo. Yeah, I found out he was a game. He's literally the only person I know who plays games in real life. So yeah, and he was like, what the hell are you doing in my house? We bonded over Halo. No, the first thing he came into the office today, we started talking about Minecraft and we we found some cool glitches in Minecraft
Starting point is 00:08:07 for Xbox Live or K, and it was like, a me like, okay, he actually knows what he's talking about. He's playing games too. He's the boss, it's the H human hunter test. Yeah, he does, so he was allowed. You're welcome. Yeah, I tried to be super nonchalant when I walked in there and saw you.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I was like, hey, what's up man? No, you pulled it off, definitely. I was like, he didn't give a shit. He was like, I hate this, yeah. So, just woke up, I was like, that's a cool guy. Yeah, I made an animated gift for Gavin that I was very excited to show him, because he'd been gone for a few days.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I made an animated present of Hammer dancing during his performance with Scy. Is it online anyway that gave for us? No, it's not online. I'm not posted somewhere online, we put it in the link down. We've got it. Didn't you?
Starting point is 00:08:44 We can't touch this. He did another performance on New Year's Eve, like Scy. I'm up close to somewhere. Align me put it in the link down. Still got it. Didn't you? Still can't touch this. He did another performance on New Year's Eve, like SIE. Yeah. And he brought out Hammer again. Like did this exact same thing. It was exact same performance. Did he do this?
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, he did that again. I was like, he's doing the exact same thing out again. I thought I could get for that too. You should be like, you get it and like put them at 50 percent. I passed to you and lay them over each other. See how close. See if you can touch them. Did he have like the 2013 glasses on
Starting point is 00:09:05 No, when he was doing it now, man No, he came out like he did he danced at the Emmys. Is that what it was or American musical? American music or American music words and like but he didn't sing at all. He just came out and dance Yeah, that's all he did He did not dance at the New Year's Eve thing either. Oh really? Yeah, I'm sorry. He didn't sing. Okay. He totally danced All right, what thanks dad you don't have to stand it a whole time you can't if you want Break the illusion I'm there. How was your new years?
Starting point is 00:09:44 All right. All right. So how was your new years, Gus? What do you do for new years? So before I answer that, when we had some problems with the green screen, with staying green, we weren't getting our backgrounds. Brandon kept apologizing in my ear, profusely. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the keyboard's slippery.
Starting point is 00:10:02 The keyboard's slippery. God. It's looks like his zombie apocalypse in the bathroom. He just got blood everywhere as he was trying to clean up. So I can't imagine what the studio looks like now. Can we cut to that? Can we cut to the bathroom? No, can we cut to the studio? Can we cut to the bathroom?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Can we hold up your bloody stump of a hand? Just cut to the floor. Here we go. Hold up your bloody stump. Let's see it. Oh, Jesus. Oh, my God. That's how I gene it. Well, that's pretty much the most. Like you were not having things in the back. They're working on the credits and it's
Starting point is 00:10:43 going to say rip brand and at the beginning of the credits for this episode. Oh my god. Absolutely disgusting as Brandon. New years. Yeah, again. New year's eve. I didn't do anything. Like I stayed home and I was like I don't want to go out.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Like I don't, first of all I want to do with the crowd. Second of all I feel like you know it's a lot of drunk people driving around. And it was also no refusal weekend and all of the time. Right. And you know I just don't want to risk it. So I just stayed home and I got really fucked up. And I was like I was like it's got to be weekend in Austin. Right. And I just don't want to risk it. So I just stayed home. And I got really fucked up. And I was like, I was like, it's got to be like new years now, right?
Starting point is 00:11:09 I looked at the clock. It was 9 p.m. I was like, oh, shit. I'm not going to make it. But I stayed away. I made it like, I just started drinking like, I don't know, like four. That didn't stop.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, I had a little gathering in my house that turned out pretty fun. And we had probably about, I don't say 20 people or so. And blue, a bunch of stuff. Adam showed up and Barbo is there and Joel and Kara and a few other friends. I think that's the best full methenious honestly. What's that? Just house pie. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we went downtown it's too crowded. Yeah, well I mean it's also like we had some friends who went downtown and I was also kind of raining on New Year's Eve and apparently like downtown wasn't too crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:42 So, you mentioned the no refusal thing. Oh yeah, that's creepy. It feels like that's can't possibly be legal. training on New Year's Eve and apparently like downtown wasn't too crazy. So, you mentioned the no refusal thing. Oh yeah, that's creepy. Creepy. Creepy, that's, can't possibly be legal. Yeah, yeah. So okay, so the no refusal thing for those who are interested. In Austin, they do New Year's, they do I think four close to one.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah. Super Bowl, like you know, kind of drinking hot. Easter because everybody gets drunk or Easter. Everybody's there. You know, you're allowed to refuse a, a breathalyzer or a field sobriety test as well. And then, you know, they just have some, I don't know, they handle you differently than normal. In Austin, on a no, on a no, what is it?
Starting point is 00:12:16 It's a couple. No, no, no, no refusal weekend. They will pull you over and if you refuse a breathalyzer or a field sobriety test, they will take you somewhere and get a warrant to draw your blood immediately. And if you handle a glass, a picture frame, and then you bleed all over the place and your drugstore.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Then you get your kind of podcast. So they basically take your blood from you. It's pretty messed up, and it's pretty controversial. Do you think the ends justify the means? Do you think a reduction in DUIs and people dying as a result of drunk drivers justifies people's blood being drawn? I mean, I'm all about like getting more drunk drivers
Starting point is 00:12:53 off the road, like, but I don't know. It's such a weird overstepping of power to me. It's like, it's just creepy to me that like the government can be like, oh, we're gonna take your blood, you know? You know, you could refuse what you think we are still going to take it. I mean, that they can get a warrant that easily. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Because the judge just got to issue a warrant. Well, they've got to go to a judge who's just like, just sign these things all night. Yeah, yeah. But the thing for me is like, say, say, say, say, I'm driving home and I like, like, I swear because there's something in the road and a cop sees me. Yeah. And they pull me over and then like, we're gonna even breath rise and we, no, I don't want to take a breath rise.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Like, okay, we're gonna take your blood. And then all of a sudden it's like, we'll're getting the breath wise. I mean no, I don't want to take a breath wise like okay, we're gonna take your blood and then all of a sudden it's like we'll just do the breath wise. What's the problem? What but I'm saying like it but it's it's innocent until proven guilty. Right and that's the proof. What but a breathalyzer. Well but I mean still it's like the idea that they can forceably take your blood. So do you realize that is my blood mine? I would hopes is the government. Why don't I think you just take it? I mean what is actually what could not be taken from me legally? I would think you're blood.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I mean, like, that is for me, that. There was a bit of a controversy actually in the state of Texas Hunter. If you remember this about five years ago, where it was discovered that the state, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why. It sounds like a super crazy conspiracy thing, but I swear it's true.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It turns out that for like a 10 year period, the state government was saving blood and stem cells, or umbilical cells, from every baby born in the state of Texas. They were storing them in cataloging yet. Yeah, I remember that. It sounds slightly more conspiracy and crazier because you're wearing the two fingers of a glove. Let me do this.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I'm going to see you even creep in. Yeah. So that's pretty weird. Yeah, so I mean, normally I'm all for, you know, measures that reduce drunk driving and people's guests from that. But already, like, I have this weird thing about stay at Texas in the back of my mind. It's like, well, they were already storing baby blood.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Like, what are they doing with this drunk adult blood? Yeah, I don't know. It's just like, I don't know. It's like the beginning of a really bad zombie in the picture. It's like the drunk blood, maybe you can blood get mixed up somehow. I'm gonna be like the drunk baby. The drunk baby you take over in the world.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Or at least Texas. So what is the reason the veins look bluish and not red? Well, it's the oxygenated blood, right? Versus non-oxidated blood. Like that was a myth. Is that a myth? Maybe your veins are just blue. Oh, how would that be blue?
Starting point is 00:15:08 You can't open that red. The insides are, the blood's red. What about that? What about the other way you should sell? Imagine catching your armistice, and just pulling that away now. Oh, come on, dude. I was gonna do that.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I mean, they move veins around when they do different surgeries, like if you have your, like a, there's like big pulmonary arteries or veins, they replace and they take them out of your thigh. Oh yeah. Oh that's weird to think about that. I was once told in a woman who said she sliced an elbow or something and pulled out like some of the legs to the gay and she said it was a nerve.
Starting point is 00:15:38 But is it, can you see how big is a nerve? I thought they were tiny. I assumed they're big and then they branch out like they get smaller once they get to the tips. Yeah, tips. Well, it's fantastic. It's a very dark turn all of a sudden. Going from New Year's parties to drunk driving and nerves being yanked out of people.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Now what'd you do for New Year's? I did a whole lot of nothing, which was awesome. Because I just got back from like an extremely long road trip to Atlanta. My family and I would drove to Atlanta and we've got two kids so that's always a long haul and we got back we were ready to just do nothing you know like lock the kids in a room where we couldn't hear them scream because on the way there my son my older son had gotten an earring and it was like a really bad way to stop and we're in the middle of nowhere
Starting point is 00:16:25 We had I don't even know what the name of the town was or if it was even incorporated But just middle of nowhere, Texas and we pulled over and there was a Doctors office and it said it said open till 12 and we're like okay, great So we like 11 55 we pulled in there we start falling out the forms and they come out at 12.01. They go Oh, we pulled in there, we started falling out the forms and they come out at 1201, they go, oh, we can't see you. It's like, you see my kid, he's like screaming, he's dying like, oh, yeah, but we close at 12. He'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:16:53 There's another one down the road and we're like, oh my God. So they sent us to another place down the road, which was another dog. Was it a new or midnight? It was new. It was new. They closed it new. Yeah. But we got to the next place and
Starting point is 00:17:10 It was like 12 15 from driving over there and they had to sign up that said close for lunch back at one Oh my god, so we just had to sit in the parking lot for 45 minutes So if anything happens to you in this town between like 12 and one your fuck your dead. I mean Brandon right now it would have no chance whatsoever You know to bleed out in a parking lot somewhere. They get stabbed at lunch. Yeah. But the guy, the doctor finally comes in. And he was a big kind of like, burly dude and kind of just burp burp.
Starting point is 00:17:35 And looks at him, looks at my son real quick. And says, oh yeah, he's got a terrible earache. That looks awful. And is that what you learned in medical school? Yeah, it's like, yeah. So like, you had that down. And then he says, well, he'll never see me again when we give him a shot.
Starting point is 00:17:51 But like, what is that mean? That's the first part of that. I mean, he'll never see me again. He'll be a bunch of months for you. Yeah, I know, I know. Like, you mean like, is there a choice of different options? Like, well, takeics to go that way. Like yeah, anybody else does pretty comments will do that.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And it goes, alright whatever, you want me to give you like super strong cough medicine, just knock him out for the rest of the trip. We're like, what? You sure this one a vet or something? He was like, look man, I got five kids. That's how I roll. I'm telling you, hey junior, take this, see you when we get there. That's how it works. And we're like, nah, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And he goes, hmm, not that kind of parent, whatever. I like how he's judging you. You're not drinking up your kid. He's like, oh, I don't want to knock him out. No need to get the floor for. And I was like, what? You're one of those liberal arts and shissies. That was it. But yeah, I think my son was like,? Number of people are from easy. That was it.
Starting point is 00:18:45 But yeah, I think my son was like, ready to get out of there. As fast as possible. It was fun. Yeah, he saw this guy's like trying knocking back. So you're all proud of this weird small town. You're all proud of NHS in the UK, but you don't have crazy backwards doctors like us.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah. Yeah. We're ready to knock a kid out for no reason So at the end of last podcast I have no idea why Bernie decided to tackle me while I was sitting here in my chair And he succeeded in breaking the chair we normally sit in so we had to replace furniture for this week's podcast and the other Chair the one that Bernie's did since had already They were just from around sitting. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:28 So we had taken parts from the two chairs and tried to make it work. They've been kind of working, but now we've got these lovely new chairs that are fancy. Bernie moving fast is one of the most terrifying things. When he gets up speed, he speed like the juggernaut Yeah, I guess I was looking at the camera that he just started running I was like the next thing I knew I was on my back. That was a moment about three years ago when we're filming the last
Starting point is 00:19:52 Short of season one when he when he and he's stupid died Yeah, he landed on Jeff's head. I've never seen Jeff more dude. He was Because I was in the it was really funny though Dude he was so amazing because I was in the it was really funny though I just saw the video because everyone in the entire office was in the conference room that day Doing that sure and I was it working on a VB in the back And I just see Jeff come in to sat down just like Yeah, really do we do we have what is that do we have the raw footage? Yeah, I'm bloopers. Yeah, oh, is it yeah, Brennissine? Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:20:23 Jealous oh, pissed off Yeah, oh, isn't yeah, Brian is saying oh, yeah, that Burr. Jealous friend. Oh, piss. Yeah, that was fucked up. This is the for you guys trying to get into that box, right? Like that was a whole thing. He can't be that mad at because it was on camera. Oh, yeah, delicious. Hi, that's your that's your thing. They can't get rid of this on camera.
Starting point is 00:20:36 If you if you film it, it's fine. Anything. No, not not not anything. You have no shame, maybe. I can get away with a lot of you. If like like what I what were we betting the other day? Trying to get you to drink a cup of piss, was that it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And then you do it for $1,000? No, 10, what did I say, 1,000? You said 1,000. Cheap, 10,000. Yeah, no. No, I was raising it up. He's on. He's on.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It'll be mine. No, give me some money. My rationalist, we can make that money back. Yeah, we can get some money back, so that's all that. How many views is that on YouTube? Not, oh man. Would it be like just like a cup or like a pint? No, it was a cup is what we had to decide.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Oh, okay. I can probably get it. So you got to get a specific like when Michael and Gavin had the bet with the gummy bear, I drew out the contract for it. I was like, I want anything to happen. I don't want anyone to see that. I picture Jack have been like a lawyer having golf
Starting point is 00:21:24 is like a lawyer having a office with like a little desk. It's an honorable Jack Patillo. It's like the first party he's to eat the gummy bear supplied by the second party. You know, it's either contract. We actually signed here, but here after referred to as Gavin free.
Starting point is 00:21:36 No, no, that was the thing. It was just like that. And like Michael signed it. And then Gavin refused the sign. Gavin actually never signed the contract. He had to pay to wrap it up quick to see it a big Swedish fish contract. I mean, well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I like that you quit all the trouble to make this contract and then Kevin to see you sign that. Well, that was because those money involved, and it's like, there's going to be money involved. I don't need to squiggle. The people that big on signatures here, it doesn't make any sense. Contract.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Like, you pay for something, you sign your name. My card doesn't have a signature on the back. They just look at the squiggle and be like, yeah. I don't even know what it means. I don't even have a signature really. It's a different squiggle every time I sign something. Does that more efficient? I mean, you know, it's all right. Make your autographed items more valuable. Each one is unique. Was that your, you can't verify any of them at all. Well, when we used to, you know, we used to do a lot of events. We still, you know, go and travel out of the conventions found our 2012 event schedule. Uh-huh. And it was crazy. Do you remember what it looked like? Yeah, it was
Starting point is 00:22:35 bad. It had all the like all the names on the left column and then it had the row of all the events. It had all those X's like some kind of I had to make that. I felt like I was a Kevin Spacey at seven, like filling out the little notebooks, like it was like underwriting. It was like a Russell Crowe in that movie where he connects with the other. Beautiful monkey tree. Anyway, sorry, you're gonna say.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Well, I used to be able to recognize, like people would present me like a DVD, like, oh, can you sign this? I would look at the signatures on it, and be like, oh, you got this sign that San Diego Comic Con in 2004, like, how do can you sign this? I would look at the signatures on the TV. Like, oh, you got this signed at San Diego Comic Con in 2004. Like, how do you know that? Because I can know based on the people you have on here.
Starting point is 00:23:10 The one that's easy to always find is the one where we were at the packs. Was it packs? Oh, eight? Or something where Joel was signing. We were all signing our names and then our character name under it. And Joel was signing Joel Hayman Joel. No, that was the first packs. That was oh, four.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Jesus, we do. That's the one. That's the one. What, you're the guy. You do that. Oh, my God. Oh, jeez. Oh, you do that.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You sign your signature and then you write Gus on it. Your name, every gen in, right? If it's an RVB DVD, I write Simmons. If it's a shorts or something else, I write Gus. Okay. I'm going to sew it on my autographs, because I just write Gavin and an explanation mark. How'd you get insulted? He was like, is that it?
Starting point is 00:23:52 Is that the best you can do? I was like, yeah, what do you want for me? You should like put ink on your thumb and just give everyone your thumbprint. Yeah, or just slice your thumb open on glass and everyone gets a little piece of DNA. It's a goodprint. Yeah. Or just slice your thumb open glass and everyone everyone gets a little piece of DNA. Yeah. Nice. You're assigned autographs with Monty. With Monty. Yeah. It's kind of funny because Monty has the most elaborate signature of anybody. And he takes, you know, a really long time writing it and those kind of convention situations are always kind of mad rush and you're trying to sign it, just get done and he's just kind of waiting for a monster
Starting point is 00:24:25 to get done, he finally passes it over, he's side real quick. And then invariably somebody looks at it and goes, a cool, I still need Monty's signature because they can't figure out what it is. Yeah, it looks like a drawing. Yeah, it looks like a sunset with birds, right?
Starting point is 00:24:37 It's actually very cool once you figure out like what it is and you identify it with him, but when we meet random fans, they don't know who it is. Yeah, when he would make a dead fantasy bit just before he worked to research that was like, yeah, the only thing, you know, I don't like about the only bad experience I usually have with signing autographs is a lot of times I'll get a DVD sign like you said, that's come from another convention and I've already signed it and I won't look at it and I'll just sign it again
Starting point is 00:25:03 quickly and I hand it back, and it seems like always whoever it is that gets it back, goes, oh, you already signed this. You've signed it twice. Oh. Oh. I like it to work. Why? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:18 It's worth like I'm signing it all. So yeah, well, double way, I mean, I guess. Double negative. Sorry. Took it out of the box. When I was in Australia with Bernie We someone handed me a shallow claims to DVDs Oh, I guess I'm in because I get some of those so I signed that and Bernie signed Bernie signed them all Robert Bernie Jr
Starting point is 00:25:37 That's pretty good. That's fine Bernie was supposed to be here with us today, but he had the last second he had something come up So he can make it he had to go break another chair somewhere. He had to go break another chair, he's embarrassed. He was too many functioning chairs. It's a clad war on chat. He was embarrassed about his performance. So this podcast, we're pre-recording it, obviously,
Starting point is 00:25:54 because we're going to be out of town. The night that this podcast would be airing, a lot of us are going to be all, are you out of town, too? Did you just jinx this? What? With the champagne. That's for 200. That's for 200. OK, I'm just thinking, you know, I got a town too. Did you just jinx this? What? With the champagne. That's your 200.
Starting point is 00:26:06 That's your 200. OK, I'm just thinking, you know, what we're up against that night is the reason we can't record it now is because we're going to be at a couple different awards ceremonies. Yes, we, there are the podcast awards and the IWTV awards. Podcast awards are actually the night of the seventh, which is Monday, and then IWTV awards are the night of the 8th, both in Vegas, right? Mm-hmm. Nice.
Starting point is 00:26:27 So we're gonna have a lot of us all gonna be out there. So we're gonna pre-record this week's podcast. Skulls going. You're going? I'll be there burning. It's going burning on. Yeah, Bernie Brandon, Alan, I don't know who else, Miles. Anything Miles is going. Yeah. Nice. It's cool. It You think miles is going? Yeah. Nice. It was cool. It was cool event last year.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah. So we decided to pre-record again, because last week, when we did podcast $199, we had such a skeleton crew working that we didn't have enough people to get everything done effectively. So I thought we should just go and pre-record again while we have enough people around. I think we credited Joe the Cat as camera operator
Starting point is 00:27:04 last week. It Seems about right. Because there were so many people out for the holidays. Like normally when we used to do just the audio podcast, it was already a pain in the ass to get people around to record audio now. Like I got to get the people here to do the video then we have a whole control room full of people over there doing stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Wait a slight 45. Say it to an hourly. We had about a two hour, though. I thought we were supposed to start at three. I'm apparently had 12 some people too. Yeah, so, you told everyone too. Yeah, you just walked in. I told me three.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, really? Well, yeah, so Gus walks in. He's like, oh, yeah, we're starting at three. And I was like, well, I thought we were starting at two. He's like, no, I said three. It's in the email. I'm like, no, I'm pretty sure. He's like, no, it's in the email.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'm like, all right, so I'm reading through it. And then I see podcast 200. And I thought, oh, maybe I saw that. I continued reading the emails Like a be ready for like be ready to record at 2 p.m. On the third and I was like ah And very rarely do you get to take one like get some proof on that using drag so I was very well I got I told math the right time. Yeah, so fuck all y'all Well, yeah, we still started late. What's when he is like normally? It's a live podcast
Starting point is 00:28:01 We have to start at a certain time and we're ready We always you know already right on time, but when we're ready. We always, you know, already right on time But when we're pre-recording it's like, oh, yeah, let's uh, that is the thing about research is that we respond well to deadlines Yeah, yeah before when we didn't have like a really hard deadline for red versus blue It would kind of like you know, we would stretch on towards the end of the year and like we would Release our DVDs like a lot later after the season was finished and now like we've committed to like a hard deadline and we've made it like every year for the last four years, five years. So much that you know. Yeah deadline is definitely what knock on wood. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 We used to always have the mentality that we never wanted a deadline because we could never meet it. Yeah. We would say that it would never work. That's what it's done. That's what it's finished. Give it a set yourself a fake deadline, just to make yourself feel comfortable and then the actual deadline off the way. I don't, well, you know, you can do that, but then like if you're anybody else is involved in that deadline, it usually backfires on you.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Yeah, I don't like fake deadlines, and I don't like people who like set their block five minutes fast or something. So dumb. It's like, you know, like if someone tricked you and you didn't know that was the case, then yeah, I would work. But when you're the one doing it, there's no point. Speaking of clocks, I got a bone to pick with Apple.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I know Apple's listening. Does anybody else use the do not disturb feature on their iPhone? Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of it. The bug, right? So normally I said it to where my phone won't ring or make noise, like when I'm normally asleep, unless it's someone who's on my favorites, calling me, and it just doesn't work now, and they say, oh yeah, it'll work again January 7th.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Wow, how did that? It doesn't automatically turn on and off anymore. So there's the week after the new year, it will start working again? Yeah, the funny thing is they started running an ad for that feature the same day that that. Really? Yeah, on New Year's Day they started a new ad. Oh, it's a feature I only recently started using too. Like I started using it around Christmas. I was like, Oh, this is awesome. Why did I never use this? No. It's just people in your favorites that call.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Yes. That can get through. Yes. Well, if someone was not in your favorites, it's called twice in three minutes. I'm trying to remember who was all in your favorites from that short we did, but we showed you. Oh yeah, it's like, President Obama, Callie Hugh. President Obama can get through who. God, who was on there? I don't remember when everyone ever tried to find out who's funny names.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Well, the weird thing about that was for like a week after that, I was having to go through my contact list on my phone. You're like, who the fuck is President Obama? I'm like, I put fake names on everything for that short. No idea who was what. Well, so you just changed your existing country. Jesus. Look idiot.
Starting point is 00:30:34 But, yeah, that was the first time I ever went to your house was when we filmed that short. That was the cutout one. That was the cutout one, yeah. Yeah. I remember we, I looked in your fridge and there was like just a bottle of mustard and like, and that was it. Only a bottle of mustard in like some cheese or something like that. I was so, I was so hungry. I was so hungry. And I wanted to eat, I opened your fridge to steal some food. It was like, it was like
Starting point is 00:30:56 some craft singles and a thing of mustard. Literally one craft single, like a lonely craft single. Well, that's, that's how you do. There's more food there now for what it's worth. And then your wall of shot glasses. Oh yeah. Well I've been collecting those for years and years. So I made a nice little right. Is there anything else you collect? I collect photos from roller coasters. Like you know when like if you're on a roller coaster, it takes your photo like after you do a loop or whatever. I've got a stack of those I've clicked over the years and I try to get more and more detailed with them.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Like I have to be you. Yeah, like, typically I'm in them, but like I've seen one, I think like XKCD did a thing where it was like they dared people to go on like splash mountain with like a chess board. And so like people started gluing chess boards together like playing chess while going on. XKCD is the origin of that. I never knew where they're from. I could be wrong, but. So if you take all the pictures throughout your life, when you're really old, you should do like an animation of you just getting older. It's like, oh, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:31:50 So that'd be really interesting. If you could get the same seat on the same roller coaster, it'd take like a picture a week. And it was like, that'd be kind of cool. Time lapse. And those cameras just stay in the same spot. But yeah, so I've got multiple ones. Like, more of my favorite ones is on the incredible Hulk
Starting point is 00:32:03 at Islands of adventure in Florida I took the map and it's threw it over my face. So it was me Well like this with the map like whipping in the wind behind me and it's pretty cool like and so it's one of those things Where it's like all right, that's a neat little thing, but now I've got to stack them out of do something with it But frame them put them up. Yeah, do you collect anything? No, I think collecting Collecting Yeah, do you collect anything? No, I think collecting stuff I hate collecting. I hate people who look like this. This is just setting up a lot of time now. I'm just beating you on.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I don't understand gathering physical things and holding on to it. I don't know. Do you collect anything? You? You collect empty alcohol bottles. I do. I collect sorrows to deliver. Yeah. I don't collect anything. And people, I find that people always want me to collect stuff. Like they see that I'm interested in something, so they start giving you more and more of that
Starting point is 00:32:54 stuff. Like in high school, I bought one shirt that had a fish on it. I just thought it was a cool shirt, it had a fish. And then everybody was like, you're the fish shirt guy. But they were gonna give me more shirts with fish on it. And I was like, okay. So I just ended up with like a closet full of fish. I didn't give you actual fish.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Fish shirts. So I wasn't trying, yeah, or shirts rug with fish or something. Well, I mean, I wasn't trying to collect fish shirts, but somehow I ended up being that guy. I mean, and you collect nude photos of yourself. Yeah, that's true. It and kind of the same way. Yeah, yeah, same way you're not trying to collect them, but people will send them to you all the time.
Starting point is 00:33:30 What's the first one you got commissioned? You're glitter nude. You got embraced it after a while, I guess so. Do you collect, I don't know, testicles or what do people send you? That's the same vein. Yeah, gross. Myles made a video today, speaking of fish. He, you know, there's little oil.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Whoa. Myles of fish, or is we're gonna find something up there? That's like there's little capsules you can take with fish oil in them. And he wanted to make a video where I just bit into one and just feel like it makes for you oil. Gross.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Gross. Really? What is that though? Which is that fish? Or is it? You got to squeeze the fish a mega three oil. Gross. Gross. Really? What is that though? Which is that fish? What is it? You got to squeeze the fish right off here and the oil comes out. It's like a drop per fish.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah, it's like ring it like a towel. It just squeeze out. It's like a... There's just some big strong guy that's like, it's like, it's like the little capsule. Yeah. I did see Bear Grills do that one. He caught a fish and then just went,
Starting point is 00:34:24 and like squeeze that with a big, he's's like fresh caviar and then put the fish caviar Yeah, that's gross That's disgusting The fish is like swimming around for that like what the fuck just happened Or it's just like, I feel great Feel lighter now Feel like I just lost five ounces.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Oh man. What's the gross thing you've ever eaten before? Grossest thing I've ever eaten. I just hate olives. You hate olives. I mean, if like when I was growing up, I hated olives so much. And so my mum, if she's making me dinner when I was like 10 or whatever, she'd be like pasta sauce and she'd like pluck out all the olives and I'd eat the food. I've got, well that olives in this sauce that you took out, she'd be like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I just, it's gross. Oh, that's an interesting thing. What about you, Jack? Did you eat a tomato once? Do we ever do anything with that, do we shoot footage that time we had those pills, those those taste pills? We did. I still have that footage. God, the weast pills. No, so guess what are those things called? There's a thing called a miracle berry. It's a it's a it's a berry that grows in certain parts of Africa. And when you take like you can buy it in pill form and when you eat the berry or you take the pill
Starting point is 00:35:45 It alters all of your taste buds to where nothing tastes normal So so we bought a bunch of these pills. That was like an early video podcast idea like back around podcast 40 Yeah, it was really and so I shot video of us all taking these pills and eating like a bunch of different kinds of food I remember the orange we had tasted like the best thing I ever had in my life. It was like every person, it just amplified it. It was like LSD. Yeah, the best thing actually was a lemon. The lemon was great.
Starting point is 00:36:15 You could get a lemon and just take a bite out of it. Like, oh my god, this lemon's so good. It was like super sweet and then we'd try like pickles and we had, I think we had like tomatoes and, but there's a few different things. It's like, it's the most surreal thing ever. Would that trick myself into liking melons? I don't know how it affects olives. Like, when you buy those pills, it comes with a list of foods that it strongly affects.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I don't know, follow up. Do you ever worry that your senses aren't the same as someone else? I worry about that. We don't taste, like, or see the same color. I think about that with cucumber and melons, since I hate them so much, and I say that cucumber is so overpowering And everyone's like what are you talking about? There's some stuff that you can't describe like how do I know that red is the same red that he's seeing?
Starting point is 00:36:52 How do I know what color red is? Yeah I mean, that's what color blind people sometimes don't know for a long time. Yeah, I worked with a guy at Warner Brothers One time who was who was color blind and nobody knew it and he was a compositor Wow! The guy that you put the shots together and the color of information and Kathleen had worked that we were working together and it was on Scooby Doo and the guy we would go to do the reviews every day and go around to all the cubicles and he was like pretty high up
Starting point is 00:37:25 he had been at Warner Brothers for a while and Raj I think it was his name and we would go and like look at everybody's shots and we want to look at his shots and it was just a really like innocuous conversation but one time I was like you see this is kind of like that red there's like so saturated in this part of the shot can you just like take that down and you go no saturated in this part of the shot. Can you just like take that down and you go, no, you can't do it or reason. I just don't see what you're talking about. I was like, it's really red here. It's like, dad, I don't see it. I was like, how can I see it's red?
Starting point is 00:37:54 It's red, you know? And he's like, oh, I'm color blind. That was what it came out. And he had done like, you know, 300 shots, you know, something you've seen, you know, go into the movies. Oh my God. And he just, so he knew what's he hiding it on purpose? No, he just, he thought it was irrelevant.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So it's like the way he worked. Like he did everything with just like, gray scale and I guess, hex values or something. Like he had just figured it out without actually needing to see the colors. Wow. So it's like, we do turned out purple and that many? Shaggy had a red shirt, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:28 That's what the green one. So there's some people who can see colors and know the hex value of that color, do you think? Yeah. Just in real life. Yeah, why not? Yeah. That's just really easy to me compared to like, I love the 0,
Starting point is 00:38:41 0, 12 of them. That's a perfect pitch. Well, I mean, if you stare something long enough, you start learning that thing. Like when I used to work at a radio station and one of my jobs was. So, when were you ruined the panel? Yeah, I feel over it. Yeah, before I got, I wasn't even fired for that, but before they hated me for that. I worked on an actual golf show of all things.
Starting point is 00:38:59 That would, like, they would pre-record it. And then I would go in on, like, during the week and I would go through and clip out all the ums and aas and the pauses and stuff. And I could look at a wave file and spot stuff. I could start, I could read a wave file. And I'd be like, there's num, there's num. And like by the end of it, I could just clip them out
Starting point is 00:39:15 without even listening to it. And so it's just one of those things to do it for, you know, do it for two years. And it's like, okay. Did you see that? Yeah. When I would edit the audio podcast in soundtrack Pro before I moved to GarageBand, it was
Starting point is 00:39:25 the same thing where I'd be like, oh, someone could have thrown, you know, here's a pop. So I mean, I'm assuming it's the same thing with colors, like, okay, yeah, I know what that I know the precise thing or the close enough to it, you know. Let me get this before you say that.

Starting point is 00:41:07 It's so warm like it feels so it's been pretty cold in Austin lately, and it's supposed like they say it's probably gonna snow tonight Or do you really mix yeah, they're saying it's gonna sleep and possibly snow so all flights the Vegas are canceled Joel fucking Joel Last time I was supposed to go I'm in a Vegas just I was supposed to go that week and I've been in the back. Was it a year ago? It was a bit about a year ago. Yeah. It's when they canceled about four flights out of Austin
Starting point is 00:41:30 and Joel freaked out. He wrecked his cart and freaked out when he got ovegas. People drive like idiots here when it gets, when it either rains or when it gets cold. Yeah. Well, I did the thing where I knew I was like, oh, it's ice on the road. Yeah, I'm not leaving my house.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Like I'd rather stay home, not deal with it. And then by noon noon was all gone. So it was just one of the things, which was like, people in Austin don't want to handle any sort of ice or snow. Yeah, what time I was an idiot? When our office was still in Buda, we had one of those things where the city I stover,
Starting point is 00:41:54 and I was living in my apartment off of Enfield. And I was like, oh, I'm still going to go down to the office. I'm sure it's fine. I think I slid the entire way down there. Like I was exiting off of the interstate. My car was doing that side to side, sliding thing going down the exit. I was exiting off of the interstate. My car was doing that like side to side, sliding thing going down the exit.
Starting point is 00:42:07 I was like, well, yeah, probably should have done that. Probably a bad idea right there. I'm gonna drive 30 miles for the hell of it. We made that Super Bowl short, what was that two years ago? There was a bit at the end where we were supposed to have a newscaster and it was like gonna be a female newscaster. And we had like four different actresses lined up to do it, and none of them could get to the studio because of snow.
Starting point is 00:42:31 And it wasn't even like that bad snow. It was like an inch of snow, maybe. It's probably not even that. Like they all went outside and saw white and, you know, terrified and ran back and forth. Maybe they're all from LA, like Joel. Maybe it's like a common thing. Get out, pull out of there, dry with us, a million to a pole.
Starting point is 00:42:46 We're just even trying to get a point with everyone back inside. I went and slipped on ice like an idiot, it was actually when I was working at that supermarket we were talking about before. It was really icy and snowy and I was listening to my iPod as I was walking to work. It was like 5am so still pitch black and the lights were all on in the car park. And as I was walking up to the building, I was gonna pause my turn off my putt, and as I press pause, all the lights went off,
Starting point is 00:43:10 and it took me by such surprise, because I thought I'd done it. And then I slipped on my arsehole. I was on my arse in front of the shop. Oh, Jesus. You guys should show up those gloves, see that's an insert coin thing too, right? I don't know if we got a...
Starting point is 00:43:23 Yeah, so... I love... I love the it is too dark. Okay. Okay, it's got the assassin's creed logo on it as well. I love fingerless gloves. It always to me sounds like but they're not fingerless It's all personal to finger one finger one thumb. I guess what I would call them You still use your iPhone or yeah, but just the phrase fingerless glove that sound like should be a deaf leopard song fingerless glows Yeah like to be a death leopard song. Dingo, let's go. Dingo. Let's go. Yeah. Well, Def Leopard, they got the drum with one arm, right? So you just think of this glove.
Starting point is 00:43:51 It's like the old, uh, old joke, what, uh, seven arms and sucks. Yeah. Def Leopard. Hey. Class, my mom thought Def Leopard. Actually, my aunt told my mom that Def Leopard was a devil worshiping band. And so she took away my my cassette single of Let's get rocked
Starting point is 00:44:10 Okay, and then I think the next year I started listening to Naughty Snails, so I think deaf leopard Just played a concert up in Cedar Park at the Cedar Park Center or they're just about to oh really Didn't deaf leopard weren't they the band that had some kind of weird Oh really? Didn't Def Leopard, weren't they the band that had some kind of weird copyright issue with their former music label and lost control of their songs for digital? So they re-recorded their entire album catalog for iTunes, but did it for like note for note like completely exact because they couldn't get the original master recordings. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:44:43 For iTunes. I'm pretty sure it was Def Leopard. It was some metal band, some metal band. And I think they added a bonus track called Fingerless Gloves. So I got one. I think the control room's left. Right in the laughing where he's crying, because his hand is bullying you on the floor. He's just hilarious from the point of view.
Starting point is 00:45:01 He's out of oxygen. My jokes are only funny if you're the prime to oxygen so before the time just just trying to understand the podcast we're talking about how
Starting point is 00:45:14 youtube struck like two billion views away from universal music group in Sony that's insane really uh... yet they were uh... gaming the system i asked you as it had to do that and you said said, I don't know, it was so technically complicated. It couldn't follow the article.
Starting point is 00:45:28 And then we looked it up and was like, oh, they just cheated. You said, why should they? They were using a service to increase their views and likes. And I was like, I swear, the first article I read was much more complicated than this. I feel like an idiot. So they called it a vocal of money that was paid out there, surely.
Starting point is 00:45:43 I don't know. I don't know how that works. We'll have to, we'll consult our attorney, Mr. Jack Patillo, to analyze the contract of another thing that we're going to take in top-addout. Oh, man. That's crazy. Two billion views. I mean, and they also removed all of Universal Music groups videos from YouTube, except they
Starting point is 00:46:03 said they left five of them, none of which contained any music in them. That's crazy man. That's a pretty big fuck you. What artists are on Universal? Who that cover? I don't know. I didn't read that far in the article. It's cool though that YouTube is you know like they're punishing everyone. It's not like you know I go. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:46:24 It's not like you know because we're Sony we can get away with our Universal we can's not like, you know, I don't know. What a little bit of me, it's not like, you know, because we're Sony, we can get away with it, or universe, we can get away with this, you know. It's like, oh no, fucking like, fuck you guys, like no, you're under the same rules that everyone has, you know. Well, I'm sure, it's been a bit of a show for them, that they can take back two billion views,
Starting point is 00:46:37 like, we don't have to pay you for that after all. Yeah, yeah. Still, I mean, but it's cool that they're actually, you know, they're not letting it slide or whatever, but I respect it. Well, it's important, I mean, it it's cool that they're actually, you know, they're not letting it slide or whatever, but well, it's important because they pay people based on those metrics. Yeah, it's important that the metrics are correct. That's what's so crazy to me about, you know, the media world that we're in now is like all of the metrics are very clear, they're very obvious and they're just out there, You know, and if somebody like, you know, virtual cheats, they're gonna get called on it
Starting point is 00:47:06 and we're gonna correct it because you want those numbers to be accurate. But like the old media like with, you know, magazines, you have an ad in the magazine, like you, I guess you can figure out how many magazines you're sold, but you can never determine how many people actually look at that ad.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Or a newspaper like they try, used to count circulation. Well, they're kind of just the copies that they leave at Starbucks. They don't know how many people buy that. Well, even like the Nielsen ratings. I mean, like that is just, you know, someone who's leaving TV on a let it run. And then it's a small sample size. Which I do.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Yeah. But I mean, that's a small sample size that then extrapolate out to like the rest of, you know, you know, in the United States, how many people are going to be watching this based on? I mean, I wonder how big the sample size of Nielsen is as opposed to the entire... It's almost like new media, like YouTube and stuff like that, it's punished because they can be so precise. New week doesn't get paid based on how many people see the ad and sign up for whatever service or buy the product immediately from there.
Starting point is 00:48:01 It's, you know, it's... New week would just went out of business, right? Yes, they no longer have a print publication. So they probably couldn't sign many people up. They never recovered after having that cover of the woman breastfeeding her kid. Oh, was that them? Yeah, that was them. Or was that time? I thought it was news week. Yeah, that was the trouble for having a tail on the cover. No, no, the kid was kind of old. It was also he was standing on a chair something, right? So like when you looked at it at first glance,
Starting point is 00:48:25 it seemed like she was breastfeeding a teenager. It was odd. It was a weird picture. Yeah, very, very. They tried to make it look more salacious and controversial than I guess it really was. So she looked at it. She was hot, though.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Kind of woman breastfeed for as long as she wants. Yes, if they keep doing it after the baby has come. They can't just start it anytime. Off the baby. Yeah, like after the baby. No. How did I know, maybe? I knew the baby's been born.
Starting point is 00:48:58 They just out of town. God, Gavin. After the baby pops out. It's a brand new year. I think maybe hold it down a little bit. Yeah. Jesus, After the baby pops out. It's a brand new year. I think maybe he's holding down a little bit. Yeah. Jesus, I can't go on. I don't know what to say now.
Starting point is 00:49:11 That takes me to the podcast. Yeah, I'll be welcome to the new year. I apologize. 200 everybody. So as long as someone keeps sucking on the tip, it'll keep producing. It's all it boils down to. Yeah, mental image is just awful right now. Brennan just said Natalie Portman, man. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:49:29 She just had a kid to our boobs are bigger. That's, I don't know what he's referring to. Actually, it was funny. Natalie Portman was at a UT game. I think it was UT versus not West Virginia, but here in Austin, they're filming a movie in Austin and they were shooting a scene with Natalie Portman and Michael Fassman Actually, and they were at the UT game and so that like the cameras like football cameras They would cut to him every now and then me like oh look there's Natalie Portman and she was looking very very attractive And I'm threatening with say she's she's still Resfeeding and exploiting the kit to keep her boobs big. Oh, they're her career. So there you go. She could just get a boob job
Starting point is 00:50:02 I'm sure she's got the money But anyway, Nally Portman, cheers. So I watched a movie last night that I hadn't seen in a million years that had everybody in it, including Nally Portman. You remember Mars attacks? Oh God, yeah, yeah. Like I totally do we get left with more respect? Yeah, well he's no, he's passing on back. That was Tim Button movie, wasn't it? Yeah. It was so hard. Has like Danny DeVee owned Tom Jones and Jack Black. Oh, he's like, he's like, you know, head shaved kind of a guy's look. Yeah, like really
Starting point is 00:50:37 early on. Spoiler. Spoiler. For your old movie. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just got Jack Newton, right? He's got two parts. Oh, yeah, he's like, like, like, like, a big guy or something. They're weird Vegas guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, I was going to make my ass met. Well, it's like, because they knocked out. I was like, they knocked on the stratosphere or like, they used the footage from the stratosphere
Starting point is 00:50:55 going down in the movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, they, they redid it. I remember where like, they, they finally think that they're going to be peaceful. And he shakes the alien's hand. His hand comes off, walks around his back, and shoots a big stick through him, and he falls over back, because then the alien flag is sticking out of the stick. That's really weird. It was really weird. I remember not liking it at the time, but I haven't seen it. Bro, I probably haven't seen it since the beginning of the scene.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I remember not liking it last night when I was... You know, to do the voices of the aliens, they just played ducks clacking in reverse. I remember that they sounded like Ack, Ack. Yeah, yeah. Backflack. Yeah. Well, Michael J. Fox is in that, too, wasn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Works in the White House, whatever. I had not seen the episode of Career Enthusiasm with Michael J. Fox until I went to Paris. It was like on the Inflite Entertainment, you can watch it. Holy shit. That episode is really fucking hilarious Can you smooth? Yeah, yeah, he's that
Starting point is 00:51:50 He went so over the top he went Gavin over the top It was really good. It's just funny to think for people haven't seen it's like Michael J. Fox has been an asshole to Larry David and he names it all in the Parkinson's like a a handsome assotar or something. Like he opens a dispraise everywhere and says, oh, sorry, Parkinson's. Like, he's been shaking the whole time. He was coming back, there was a TV show he was going to be in, right? Michael J. Foxx.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Like I thought there was some new show on the KBC or something that he was starring in. I don't know what happened to it, but I guess. But he was on a... Is he a judge on American Idol now? Might as well be. Like he was on a few episodes, or he was on one or two episodes of scrubs and he was actually really good on that I've never seen an episode of scrubs really it says pretty good show. It's a show I missed for some reason
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah, I don't know if it was really popular. It's a full of sleep tea Jesus I like I like stuff that you can just put on and then those off there's movies like that Like I'm been watching Min and Black 3. I was kind of put it on. I'm like, all right, and it's passed out. Good movie. Is that good?
Starting point is 00:52:49 It's pretty good, actually. It's surprisingly good. I have not seen any movies at all. Like this whole, the same thing. I mean, I know Min and Blacks came out like six months ago. Yeah, I saw him. But like, I hardly saw any movies this year and this last holiday period, everybody was seeing the Hobbit
Starting point is 00:53:04 and all this stuff. Anything, yeah. So what do you mainly do with free time when you have it? Oh, I don't have it. I can't. Did I? You don't get free time? Yeah. Last podcast that I talk about how when it idiot I am, how I tried to watch all those movies and I fucked up. No. So I decided it's good swallowable for you. One Saturday, I've not been drinking champagne. One last Saturday I decided I'm gonna go, I'm gonna spend all day at the draft house. I bought tickets to see the hobbit,
Starting point is 00:53:30 Django Unchained, and Les Mis. I was like, I was gonna get to the draft house to like 10, 30 in the morning, also be there to like 9, 30 at night. It was like solid movies back to back to back. First of all, I slipped in, I was like, I missed the hobbit. It's screaming like, I woke up and I was like, no, I don't wanna go to a 10, 30 screening of the hobbit. So I went to sleep and I was like, I'll just catch Django at, you know, I slipped in, I missed the hobbit. You're like, I woke up and I was like, no, I don't want to go to a 10-30 screening of the hobbit.
Starting point is 00:53:46 So I went to sleep and I was like, I'll just catch a jango at 2-30 or whenever it's supposed to start. So I eventually get up, I go to the theater, I'm like, I use the automated ticket machine, I swipe my credit cards. You know, it's the robot. Yeah, it says, it can't help you. You have to go inside and see an attendant.
Starting point is 00:54:01 I was like, that's weird. I go inside and see the guy, I'm like, yeah, I'm trying to pick my tickets up and said, it couldn't help me. He's like, oh, yeah, I used to swipe my cards. I was like, that's weird. I'm like, yeah, I'm trying to pick my tickets up and it couldn't help me. He's like, oh, yeah, he's swept my car. He's like, oh, I see your tickets right here. They were for yesterday. You know, you slept in a whole day. I bought the tickets Friday morning for Saturday,
Starting point is 00:54:15 but I'd selected the wrong day and then I'd buy you off for Friday. Nice. I don't know with plain tickets so many times. Really? Yeah, especially on one of the websites, I think it's American like automatically puts you like in the week that you're in if you like change something like the calendar pops back and I've just selected I'm leaving
Starting point is 00:54:34 tomorrow instead of you know a month from now. Yeah. Yeah. I messed up flight dates more than anything. I could just can't do it. Yeah. Every time I'll buy the wrong day. Well, So what happened with the movie? Did you see anything? Did you get me a rain check? I'd let you in now, but they're all sold out. Oh, that's like Alex. Are you going to Lamar?
Starting point is 00:54:50 Are you going to? Yeah, it's not. And now, Southamore's closed. Yeah. Oh, today's the last day. Is it really? Oh, man. We're recording on the third.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Yeah. So by the time this air is, it's going to be closed. No bother going. But when I went there to park, like to see my movies on the wrong day, all of that shopping complex next to it was gone. It was just really the other crazy thing to do all this. Oh, that's not to down. I went to the high ball, the high ball closed about a month and a half ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:13 I went there in the last week, I think it was, and they didn't have any liquor left hardly. Really? Yeah, because they were trying to get rid of the stock that they had, so they didn't have to move it somewhere else. You know, when they would get rid of something. Put it off, sorry. They just picked it up to the draft house? No, they they had so they didn't have to move it somewhere else. You know, when they would get rid of something. They just like the draft house. No, they could, but they didn't want to. So they were like trying to like just get rid of what they had and they wouldn't reorder anything.
Starting point is 00:55:32 So that was just the stuff that ever hated left. Yeah, pretty much. I think I did. You get bombs for everyone. I'm peach snops or something. It's like any kind of whiskey. No. No. Well, what's the bread? Medori I might have had turpentine What's the punch you make where you pour everything into it? What is that called? Like here gorilla. Yeah, yeah, like yeah Have you seen there's a I drove by it to the day I haven't been in there yet But the good night has a location up on Anderson now like right by the Alamo village, and it's got like bowling and I think it's like a highball competitor. Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:56:05 But I didn't notice when I was driving because we drove like you know on this trip we drove from Austin all the way to Atlanta. Like a lot of towns we went to I saw just off the side of the road like the new Cine eats or something. They were a lot of places that were like following that model that weren't. Yeah, the Alamos or the other. There's like three in Austin. I mean, there's like the place in Blue House in weren't. Yeah, the Alamos or the other. There's like three in Austin. I mean, there's like the place for house in Round Rock. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:56:28 then what's the one downtown called the Violet Crown? I don't know. That's like that's kind of different though, because they don't really serve you in the theater. The one with that Alamo does it to buy it in the lobby. It's also more art house theater as well. It doesn't have like big, but it's the same. It's ultimately, but it's food in a movie. I don't want it to the domain. That was different now.
Starting point is 00:56:48 They got rid of that. I pick it used to be a goal class. Yeah, you speak goal class. There's a deaf food in there as well. Yeah, OK. Yeah, but yeah, now they also have like an area of the theater that's like conventional theater seating. And then there's like the other.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, they've really changed it a lot. Yeah, they do it. They domain is huge, man. Like I went out there to get us some Christmas presents. And it's like, it's a massive complex, but like, multiple sections. It's like, multiple shopping malls in one giant area.
Starting point is 00:57:12 It's like, if you park in the wrong spot, you gotta walk like two miles to get somewhere. Yeah. But the thing about the domain is, I feel like people get really angry parking there, unnecessarily. So, you know, back when it was smaller, you know, it was like there was parking garages in the stores,
Starting point is 00:57:28 but there's also parking right in front of the store. And people get really mad that you can never park in front of the stores, but it's like if you normally go to any mall or shopping place, you don't park right in front of the store, you'd like a little away and you walk. Wow. I was on the plane recently.
Starting point is 00:57:42 I was looking through my pictures because it's pasta's time on the plane. and I found a picture that really made me laugh. So when I was in London with Jeff and Griffin and all that, I was trying to take a picture of the whole table. So I was using the front camera I'm like doing this, but this just cramped camera, there's no flash or anything. So then I turned it around to try and do it this way. And I accidentally took just a picture of the table across the other side. I've got to do the thing. I'll put it on good.
Starting point is 00:58:07 This is really good. But it's basically a picture of a guy going, no. You're gonna link dumb that. We'll put it in the link dumb. That's great. So you were passing the time here. Look at your photos. No, I was just saying more.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Is that like the most narcissistic thing you can do? It's like, I'm bored. I want to look at pictures of myself. Yeah, just don't... Well, hardly any of my pictures are of me. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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 watch videos that I've taken on the plane, just funny memories and that. My school. Because my memories tell me. I don't take photos anymore. I just take a lot of photos. I don't anymore.
Starting point is 00:58:47 I've seen too many people. We go to concerts and stuff. And it's like, you see people the whole time holding their phone up. And it's like, you're not experiencing what's happening right in front of you. And I kind of took that to heart. And so now it's like, if I see photos, typically,
Starting point is 00:58:59 if we go to like conventions and things like that, I can usually find photos of myself that other people have taken. They're like, OK, I can use that that or someone has a better camera in it myself. I was like, all right, I'll pull that down. I'm like, all right, print that out. There you go. That's me. I just print it out. Okay, grandma. I just hire somebody to come with me and take my photo. You know what my photo is of view on my phone, like, you know, when you call it. It shows up. It's when we were in Indianapolis, I think it was,
Starting point is 00:59:26 it was a gin con and I took a photo of you through the people in the hotel and I think you said, it looks like I'm in a vagina. Yeah, I see all the times people. You did that to me, yeah. I think there's a picture in my image gallery on her shirt, you see it like that. Yeah, I think the one you did at me was like at
Starting point is 00:59:44 Oedokhan in Baltimore. I didn't know how you have such good memory. They all just merged together for me. And you've done so many more than I have done so many conventions. Man. I think I was supposed to go to that GenCon. But I think you were, yeah, I was a day in a commercial trip. Yes. And you had to take my place. Yes, that was where we saw the tiny horse. What? Do you remember that? Little Sebastian. Were you there? It was like an Italian restaurant. We were eating outside and a miniature was where we saw the tiny horse. What? Remember that? Little Sebastian? Were you there? It was like an Italian restaurant.
Starting point is 01:00:08 We were eating outside. And a miniature horse came up. It was like this woman. It was really strange. Oh, God, I do remember that. Yeah, she came up with a miniature horse. It was a size of a medium sized dog. It was really small.
Starting point is 01:00:18 It was like a 50 pound dog. And except it was a horse. And she came up. like she just started talking with people who were eating at the Italian restaurant and at first it was kind of quaint. Like oh this is really weird, like this weird horse comes up and you know this lady is talking to you in downtown and then you just started to get creepy because she would just stand there and it was like was watching us eat. Now we're all like okay well we're just gonna eat our Italian food now.
Starting point is 01:00:45 And she just stayed there with her little island of Dr. Moro Horace. Why would she be around? I don't know, I was like, maybe she was waiting for us to give the horse a bread roll or something. I couldn't figure out what her deal was. How, and then she rode off. How small does an animal have to be before it's creepy? Like, say you had a cat, but it was like this big, like the size of a tarantula.
Starting point is 01:01:10 That'd be creepy, right? It's kind of like the other way. It's kind of like the other way. Would it be cute? I can't decide if it's like a tarantula? I think that would be cute. That would be pretty cute. But it would also never happen. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 01:01:25 You got to think of like an uglier animal, or like an animal people don't like. Oh, man, I think I have a possum living in my backyard. Oh, no. Yeah, I've got to figure out a way. That one, like this size, that's creepy. The possum, the size of a tranchilla. But you just do your thing, you get shovel, right?
Starting point is 01:01:40 Shuffle and kill it. Don't ever talk about that in the podcast. I think you did. Just shoveling the heads up. Happy New Year everybody. Like I said, it's better than leaving it there letting it dive exposure. Like a long, prolonged painful moment. It was like my, my, my quick death versus just laying there and dying of exposure and dehydration. I had a relative that died and usually you find out more stuff about someone after they've died because people are at everyone's talking about. And I found out just a horrific story
Starting point is 01:02:17 that I was like, I can't believe she did that. Apparently she had a cat that was never neutered so whenever it would give birth to kids kids she would just take all the kittens and flush him Put me the toilet flush and like goldfish I don't like you can't just casually say that What the fuck that's right that's fucked up. Yeah, so was the problem I guess but what's up the problem fixing the cat Or a shumble terrible I had my had a had an uncle in Dallas had a raccoon problem. He woke up and heard noises and went to his kitchen.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And there was a raccoon that was just like rating everything. I could figure it out and get the fridge open. It was just going all the way up. Making a sandwich. And raccoons are fucking vicious. Those things are crazy little terrors. And so, you know, you kind of like, he's like holy a knife out of the blanket.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Okay, he's over there. Yeah. He's like, I love just going and you know. And so he like scared it off somehow, like I had out the front door. But then it quickly figured out that it was coming through the doggy doors. And they had a weird setup where they had the doggy doors and it was like a doggy door from the outside that went into a hall closet, like a co-closet, and then there was another doggy door coming out of the closet door on the inside of the house. So he's like, aha, I know it to do.
Starting point is 01:03:39 He got a cage, like it was like a trap cage, you know, with a trap door, and put it in front of the outside hole. And so sure enough in the middle of the night, here's, cachung, ra ra ra ra. Raccoon going crazy. And so he gets up and he starts to go and check in the record. But he gets there and the door's like shaking,
Starting point is 01:04:00 like the doors like rattling all around, like at the scene from polterguys, like evil forces trying to get out and overtake the world and he's just like I'm just gonna leave that tomorrow and he comes and leaves I don't know how he went to sleep but he comes back in the morning and somehow the raccoon had like popped around in this cage and managed with its little you know hook nailed his has to pull off every single one of his coats and pull it into the cage. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Like, nice leather coats is a life's fur coat. Oh, no. We're like, all this, I mean, it's probably like, you know, thousands of dollars with the coats, you know, from a lifetime of having coats. And he pulls into this cage and it just like shredded them and made like a little coatness. Oh, and the raccoon was like, what's up?
Starting point is 01:04:48 Just enjoying co-cam. It's on the raccoon's going down one by one. They're all going to each other like, I like the thought of the raccoon. I don't want to be next. I like the thought of the raccoon being in the cage like, well, I guess this is my life, but to make the best of it,
Starting point is 01:05:00 let's get some coats down here. I think a raccoon wants eight eight one of my t-shirts. I saw the story of the podcast once when I was staying at in Jeff's studio and I threw up into one of my t-shirts because there was no toilet. So I had to just throw up into something and I just threw it outside. And it was gone the next day. That's weird.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Could have been even. I think an animal must have taken it. It wouldn't have just blown away. That's a great story. It's like one of those moments where if when you can die, you can go back and see what actually happened like JFK or something. Like third person, you like, and really... We cam it, the other person.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Who shot JFK and all that. I would want to watch my t-shirt that night and see where it actually went. It's really confusing to me. Yeah, one of the things that you would burn your free cam on. If there was only one free cam I probably wouldn't do that. Okay, good. Gus, you know what's happening? Six months from now.
Starting point is 01:05:56 RTX. RTX, man. We're a happier away from RTX. Are you excited? I said something that scared Barbara the other day. I said, we are as far away from RTX 2012 as we are close to RTX 2013. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:08 We're also like as far away. Sorry, we're hearing noises. I'm just going to show it up for Brandon. I'm going to let him see her. He's dragged off right now. No, RTX 2013 though. It's going to be kick ass. So yeah, we tickets, by the time it's podcast,
Starting point is 01:06:24 there's tickets will have just gone on sale. Oh, wow. How much do you get? It's $50 for a three day pass. Oh, we bought it up, $5. But we added 50% more event. So you've Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We paid $5 more for one more day.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yes. That's a rip off. Just got a lot. You could buy one day pass, it's cheaper than last year. Oh, okay, there you go. So you might, you might, you might, three day pass or individual days. Yes. Or just, well, I guess, yeah. There you go. So you might you might three day pass or individual days. Yes as an individual or
Starting point is 01:06:46 Friday Saturday or Sunday like I thought the one day passes because I like keeping things simple But people keep saying we got to have a individual day passes So we have those available to tickets go on sale. So a Friday passes only good for Friday a Saturday passes only good for Saturday And a Sunday passes only good for Sunday. We're trying to figure out how to make this as clear as possible. When can you use a Saturday pass, though? Saturday. What year? This year?
Starting point is 01:07:10 2013. OK. We're afraid that we just want to make sure it's clear to everyone. We're afraid that people might not understand. So if it has a big day on it, that's the day it's good for. That's cool, man. So we're looking at what double triple the size of our TX. We're hoping to know about double it. Yeah're we've moved from the Southside of Austin Convention Center to the north side
Starting point is 01:07:28 Which gives us bigger panel rooms better queuing more exhibit hall space Better sound protection between the places. Yeah better sound protection. We good We learned you know, I feel like for the most part things went really well in 2012 Yeah, there were a couple of things that we could have done better, and I felt like we learned from them, and we're really... But we're bringing back everything that people love. Like, I know we're doing the esports arena is coming back, and it's gonna be bigger
Starting point is 01:07:51 and better this year, right? We're bringing back the panels. I'm sure we're gonna do a live podcast again, right? People are just gonna love that. Someone was bitching, they were like, don't prue record your podcast during RTX, make sure you live stream it. I was like, mother fucker, we already live streamed it in 2012. We can take a step back.
Starting point is 01:08:07 So we'll do that again. I mean, I know like we did that Geeks who drank event. That was awesome. And I know I want to do another one of those. I had a lot of fun with that. We had a bunch of secret stuff coming on. So we're at the point where we're really like in full-fledged like planning mode. It's like now that six months, the first six months are a lot of like backend logistics stuff. And then like this final six months it's like you're starting to like really focus down on the details. Yeah, it's a well. What was your favorite part of RTX? I like I know and
Starting point is 01:08:32 I was fucking beat dude. Yeah, I would be always amazed at how many things you have to think of that could happen Like I was a weird things like I talked about like last year before we did RTX 2012 I was like I had a meeting where the whole point of the meeting was where we're gonna put this table okay it's gonna go here where like how many feet from the wall in here okay what are we gonna do with the cords are we gonna run them out the back of the table I'm gonna drill a hole in the table okay we're a drill a hole okay once the cords go through the hole where are they gonna go how are we gonna get them to the outlets it's like oh my god like really this is my life I'm having a
Starting point is 01:09:04 meeting about a fucking table and where we're gonna run the outlets. It's like, oh my god, like really, this is my life. I'm having a meeting about a fucking table and where we're going to run the goddamn chords. It's like all these little things you don't think about. Yeah, it's pretty intense. Yeah, so I mean, like, yeah, this year's going to be fun though. I mean, it's kind of cool. Like, wait, I mean, we are learning as we're going along. So I'm hoping this year's going to be a little bit easier on you, right? I mean, yeah. Hopefully. Yeah. Brandon's saying it's not but uh
Starting point is 01:09:26 we'll see. Well Brandon's like gonna be alive by that point anyway. I'm gonna bleed out today. His Brandon's corpse is talking to me. You're my earpiece. Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac Mac I'll be that. Huh? You went to a wedding last year. You said he'll be there this time. I know, I'm saying last year. So your friends could get married already? Yeah. Are they still married?
Starting point is 01:09:48 Yeah, that's so much. OK. That wedding was planned like two years before, it's like before the first auntie ex. OK. I think. What kind of dickhead has like a two-year-long engagement? People are kind of supposed to get married yet.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Then wait. Or don't have a big wedding. But weddings are the biggest way still money possible. I agree. I probably wouldn't get married Don't you had like six? Yes Well, I'm sorry like big ways like all my weddings are like cheap and you know We got like I said I get remarried every now and then oh you do we haven't done it in a while
Starting point is 01:10:18 It's funny. It's stupid. Well, I mean been remarried We've actually only gotten remarried once we had it. We got remarried in Vegas We wanted to get remarried again. We're gonna have We were gonna have a super Mario theme. We're choosing to be Princess Peach now So we Mario and Jeff is gonna be Donkey Kong and steal her away. I guess it would be Donkey Kong theme nice And I was gonna fight him But we scrapped that I think you got remarried in Paris while you guys were out there You got to remarry in Paris while you guys were out there. Nah, that's stupid.
Starting point is 01:10:43 So it's happening. That's stupid. Go to the city of love and you know, you actually want a real thing like with documents and stuff. Yeah. So you beat off to get divorced first and then get married. No, no, it's like a renewal. It's like a difference between a marriage and a trip. You have to.
Starting point is 01:10:59 But as well, I mean, it's like, baby, it's good divorce, Jen. We get remarried. I'm serious. I can't make it. It's, it's like, hey, baby, it's good divorce, Jen, we're getting remarried. I'm serious. I can't believe that. It's been twice as romantic. There's an episode of The Simpsons like that where Homer divorces March to remarry her. So I'm like, hey, do we just,
Starting point is 01:11:11 we'll just be like The Simpsons? Did he give her half his money? No. Well, that's cool. I'm really, really jazzed for RTX this year. Me too. It's going to be fun. My favorite thing about RTX, there were a lot of great moments,
Starting point is 01:11:24 but my favorite one was we, there were a lot of great moments, but my favorite one was we did a project freelancer panel and it was actually at the very end of RTX and it went over and it was just such a great panel. Like we had all the cast from freelancer and the people that attended the panel were just super psyched and just a lot of laughs and just had a good time. We went way over, like we came out and the whole hall was empty. Like everybody was gone. Like it because like we were like the last thing to finish up and like
Starting point is 01:11:51 everything else had been shut down for like 30 minutes. So that was kind of a weird feeling like you're the last kids in school or something at the end of the year. It was really fun. Now we did that. We had an achievement on our panel where it was like the achievement or how to panel. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:02 And we showed how to make a video from start to finish. Now it was pretty cool. It was the same sort of deal. It was like the last thing we did. And panel. And we showed how to make a video from start to finish. Now it was pretty cool. The same sort of deal was like the last thing we did. And I just remember during it, my phone kept ringing. I kept getting text messages and people were calling me. I was like, what the hell is going on? And apparently Joel and Gus were on the eSports arena stage. First of all, beating the shit out of Kerry.
Starting point is 01:12:18 And then they were trying to solicit donations. And they said they would give out my phone number if they got a certain amount of money. So Joel had, like I watched the footage later. And apparently Joel had his phone out. I was like, they would give out my phone number if they got a certain amount of money So Joel had it like I watched the footage later apparently Joel had his phone out I was like ready to give out my number and thankfully he didn't but like I know Allison the stroll from you can thank me I fucking stop thank you. Thank you, but like Allison strolls text me like no You might want to stop Joel and I'm like I'm like trying to do this thing like what the hell is going on? And thankfully my number did not get out that they were really funny up there
Starting point is 01:12:43 They were really funny. I. They were really funny. I just remember people throwing money over the wall. That was unplanned. We're going to try to avoid that again. We'll have an official charity giving area. So that people aren't throwing coins trying to hurt other people. We can do like a shooting gallery with coins. Or it's like you have like a bunch of stuff set up.
Starting point is 01:12:59 And you can throw coins at stuff. And then collect all the money. No, we could just do a traditional way. Or we could do something like that. Or something for this. Let's do something where we're not destroying something or doing something that can cause injury to people. That was always my biggest concern
Starting point is 01:13:15 that all the planning was, okay, if we're gonna do this thing, how can someone possibly get hurt doing this or around this? Well, that's what we did when we did the immersion museum, we came in here into this space and painted everything out on the floor, brought in the truck, and organized it all, and went through like every stage of that, trying to figure out where is your eye going to get poked out on this. You know, we wanted to make absolutely sure there was not going to be a problem, but still
Starting point is 01:13:39 have it be immersive and immersive for immersion. And interactive and all that kind of fun stuff, you know. Yeah, you can. It's hard to do both. It's really hard. Yeah, you can't make it like devoid of any fun. Yeah. But you got to make it safe. But you got to make it safe.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Yeah. No, I'm excited to share. It's going to be fun. Like I love seeing like the side quest guys, like seeing what they, you know, come up with. And I can't wait till we get to a point where developers and stuff like more, we get our exhibitors on the floor start throwing parties. Like in Austin, like kind of like independently of RTX like that's the kind of stuff I'm looking forward to seeing like that kind of that growth
Starting point is 01:14:11 happening with RTX and I think we this year might be the year we start seeing so at This past RTX side quest had an auction benefiting child's play One of the items the auction was that little cardboard cut out of me naked on the chair Which Robert Koo from Penny Arcade won. And- It was like three or four hundred bucks. Yeah, he re-awctioned it at a child's play charity dinner back in December. And Alison Stroll from 343 Industries won it.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Then she went up for 343. $343. That's all. So I think it may make its way back down to Austin for another side quest auction. Dude, freaking Gavin, one at the silent auction, he won a Halo Xbox, one of the Halo 4 special edition Xboxes, that came with like three years of Xbox Live. Five years of Xbox Live. And a bunch of stuff.
Starting point is 01:14:55 I don't know, those in there are there. Yeah, he ended up making money off the thing. Like he basically, it cost him less, he bid less than what it was all value that. Or what it should have been value that. Nice photos is really cool as well, like how the inside is kind of painted. Yeah, and the blue are the days of the best thing. I know, we did unboxing for it.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Yeah, I don't know if we got him or came out. I talked with the guy, like the manufacturing guy, who designed it, who made everything. And the controller that comes with that Xbox is clear on the back. And you can see like the circuit board and the motor's there and they put, they specifically built a white circuit board to put in there. It's not green like the circuit board's white to like fit in with the theme of the control.
Starting point is 01:15:35 Why else circuit board is usually green? I don't know. But no, that Xbox is cool because the sides are translucent, but they're painted on the inside and the outside to give like a layered effect on the side effects of cool. You open the disk tray and it's like, Oh man, but yeah, that's pretty cool. But I remember even you opened the thing up and you kept pulling out like, Oh, what is this? What is this?
Starting point is 01:15:58 I just wanted to win something at a child's play. Yeah, probably that any time I'll ever get. Yeah, that was the one thing. I actually got my child's play thing. I won the last child's play of it. Not this one, but the last years. I finally got a frame properly for Christmas. And it looks really cool.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It's my copy of Doom signed by John Romero, which is very, very badass. It's a very important game to me. So, was there anything really cool like that? Anything that you saw, Gus, that child's play this year, that you were like, oh my god, I need it. Oh, the Bill Gates Xbox. Bill bill gates Xbox and my prototype Duke controller. That prototype Duke is pretty sick I gotta say.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Yeah I don't know if you can tell from the camera but it doesn't have the Xbox jewel on it. It's like and none of the buttons are painted. It's I guess it's like a prototype so they could feel the weight and the shape of it in your hand. Aren't you bidding on or no no it was it was it was Halo Fested Packs where they gave way to the Xbox 360. Oh God, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 01:16:49 And they actually had them in child's play, but they ended up selling it like 5 grand a piece or something like that. Yeah, they sold it for a lot. Xbox 360, dude. Yeah. Well, they made, they retrofit it the original Duke. They had Ben Heckendorn retrofit the original Duke controller with a wireless capability to sync up with a 360.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Yeah. So it worked with a 360, but it went for a lot of money. I think I want to say it went for $800. Oh, should it went for? I've always wondered, I think we talked about this before, and when you brought that Xbox in, we held up, we have a poster that's also signed by Bill Gates, and we held it up to make sure the signature is matched. And it matched but uh I was wondered like how much is this signature worth just in terms of of Bill Gates you know cost per second to do anything you know because
Starting point is 01:17:34 he makes so much money like I'm just per hour so he's still the wealthiest man in the world right I don't know what I'm talking about I think so I think he's I think he's given away like he was given away so much of it that that color slim is the richest man oh right the the Mexican oil yeah yeah but I mean it's like how much would that cost per second just for him to write his name if you had to pay him right as I always say that right your name and I'll pay you your per second fee yeah they'll need a drop ten grand he doesn't even need to pick it up because the time it takes from to bend down and pick it up, he makes that.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Yeah. I was still pick it up. Well, that's all you're making. I saw an eBay auction or someone sent me an eBay auction the other day and it was all of the items that someone on the Xbox team who launched the original Xbox God, including, you know, that signed Bill Gates Xbox, a certification disc, and all these other things, and the bidding was at $5,000 when I looked at it. And it did not come with that cool jacket, which I got.
Starting point is 01:18:32 You're cool, you're cool, Alfa Beta jacket. I might be the next one. I'm like, I'm a crystalliter in jacket. I really could use it right now. It's fucking freezing in here. I don't do this, really glad I got these gloves. I would say this one. I would say this one.
Starting point is 01:18:42 I would just see you like wearing that jacket standing next to a trophy case. Looking on the floor. And Gavin's like, you, I want you to make some videos of me. I love that jacket so much. Now, this robe, man, this robe is comfortable. It's super, super comfortable. Yeah, I'm actually pretty chill.
Starting point is 01:18:55 My thumb's a cold too. It's like, oh, this is great if I want you to use my phone. But it's a- I'm kind of glad to have it be cold for a while though. It's been so hot for so long. I feel like that stuff was not as bad as it previous. Oh, no, it wasn't.
Starting point is 01:19:07 It wasn't. But it seemed like it went on for it. It got cold for a little bit like I'd down to 50 and then came back up to 80 again. Yeah, typically the way it works in Austin, it's Halloween is like sort of the breaking point when it gets cold and say, yeah, it's not easier. And then usually it's South by is when it gets warm again.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Like it's right around South by is like pretty much full. Although we did get cold right after after Halloween and then it was just like Got you Yeah, yeah, yeah, it got chilly, but then I got warm again I was waiting for a cab. It was like the 23rd of December when I flew back to England And I was in a shorts and t-shirt sunbathing on my porch waiting for the cab show and then you fly to England It's freaking free. Yeah, it's a weird contrast to be like earlier today, I was doing this. I had to show in pictures of me on this.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yeah, you were like, I'm doing this. Like, what are you doing? Sorry, yeah. I was poking something. Yeah. How long were you in the UK for? About a week. OK.
Starting point is 01:19:57 I thought you were only going for, you know, you mean it seemed like you were going just for a day or two? I was just going to come back up the day after Boxing Day, and then I just couldn't be bothered. It's quite far from the bottom. so much fun, I thought just stay. Do a week. So you had to change your ticket? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:10 How much did that cost? 400 quid or something. Jesus Christ. $10,000. I didn't pick it up. Oh my god. So 400 quid, that's like what? $600 or so?
Starting point is 01:20:21 Yes, $600 American. Yes, because I'm just terrible at planning. And I do everything last minute. Do you just have $600? You're going to burn like that? Why was I prepared to spend money to go back home anyway? I mean, I could probably cost about two grand total to see my family this Christmas.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Was it worth it? Yeah, I like seeing them. I haven't seen them for a while. I don't think it was worth it. Do you Skype with a mirror and anything like that? I FaceTime. FaceTime with them. Oh, look at you. You're betraying Skype. You're you, I FaceTime? FaceTime with them?
Starting point is 01:20:45 Oh, look at you, you're portraying Skype, you're old, you were in that TV commercial with your grandfather. That's my first experience. Wait, what? Oh, this is like, I forgot about it. I didn't know about this. This was like, six years ago. Was it a TV commercial?
Starting point is 01:20:56 Was it like an internet? It was on TV in Europe, I think. Okay. Wait, to what, is it commercial? Is your Italian? Yeah, they were interested in the way I use Skype, because I just just talked to my granddad, who's Italian. He didn't live in Italy or anything.
Starting point is 01:21:09 He lived in London, but they just liked that relationship and they went and filmed him and stuff. That's pretty funny. What's cool? What's the ad they find you? Someone contacted me through the message boards of Skype, I think. Were you on the Skype message board? Yeah, I had a problem with it.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I was like, look, I just did a new forum stuff at then. Everyone who's to use forums. You were on the old PHP for yeah, I had a problem with it. I was like looking I used to do forum stuff at then everyone who sees forums. Yeah, you were on the old PHP BB forums that we had way back in the day back in oh three oh four. I was using them but three three thousand something fancy Now you're sitting on the couch with us. I'm always proud of we don't use user IDs on our site anymore They're still there, but it's not as prominent. 80. Yeah, I'm number three. Then we're three.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Yeah. It was our two original web developers. The guy who built the databases one, the guy who built the website to connect to the databases two, and then I was three. Nice. I think Jeff is five or seven. I deleted the number one guy. I deleted in Baxon once.
Starting point is 01:21:59 God. The number one guy once deleted our database by accident. Oh, it's great. So we got that great rollback. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We went back like a week. Two weeks, I think.
Starting point is 01:22:14 Was it two weeks? I think so. I'll take a drink. I'll drink to that. Yeah. How often is everything backed up now? Now, fucking hourly. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:22:21 It's backed up constantly. Now. That's awesome. Yeah, dude. You had Adam on top of that stuff down, right? I don't have him. He's Adam's on top of that stuff. That does a great job with it.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Yeah. No Adam's been under town for a couple weeks now and his desk right now. No, no, no, no, no. What is he doing? He'll be back by the time we see him. Yeah, I don't know. He'll be back by the time we see him. Let's say, this is going to be next week.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Okay. He'll be back by then, right? But so his desk is a pile of boxes. It looks like a catamari went through there and the level ended. And it just like, oh, this shit's right there on his desk is a pile of boxes. It looks like a catamari went through there and the level ended. And it just like all the shit's right there on his desk. It's like, like basically recycling for the past two weeks is just at his desk. Earlier today, Matt sent me an IAM.
Starting point is 01:22:53 He's like, hey, I ordered some Lissi drives a couple of weeks ago, are they here? And I was like, oh shit, they're like at the very bottom. They were like holding the entire thing up. And I was like, I went up to it. I was like, it's like the most complex game of James and Ever. I was like trying to pull this box of hard drives out without chipping everything over. I knew that the whole time.
Starting point is 01:23:10 I was just setting you up. I mean, I just extracted everything in place. He was at my New Year's party and him and I, we were the pyro guys for the night, which was pretty cool. He brought a bunch of fireworks, and I had my fireworks with me. One of the first things I noticed though, so I like the mortar shells, like the ones where it comes with the tube, and then you put the individual things in the light and it launches.
Starting point is 01:23:30 So I got these ones that were a little too wide for the tube, so they would go in kind of like... We've been there, right guys? So they would go in, but then he was lighted, and they wouldn't launch properly out of the tube. So it would explode about 10 feet off the ground. Whoa. It was in there, right guys?
Starting point is 01:23:46 It was incredibly dangerous and very, very fun. Well, thankfully, I'm sure you were sober. Oh, no. Actually, I only had like three drinks the whole night. Like it was one of the things. Because they made a big deal this year where it was like if people get drunk at a house party and then leave, the person who's
Starting point is 01:24:01 through the party can get in trouble. So actually, I'd bet. Because you're responsible for the people, this is Texas man, this is how it works. But anyway, so I got a little nervous about that. So I wasn't as crazy as, it's either starting to rain or like otters. Oh, that's actually, I think it's sweet.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Is that sweet? Sorry, I heard a weird noise. So you didn't want your blood drawn. Yeah, so yeah, well I was in my house, I wasn't leaving. So I'm like, okay, I need a hammer if I want to do it. I was like, I don't want to get too trash And so anyway, and also it was kind of raining the whole time So I'm like all right if fire's close to the ground nothing's it's gonna be okay
Starting point is 01:24:32 So we would took care of stuff and we made sure we had we had water there in case anything was gonna happen But I remember the first time I was impressed by my dad was during some fireworks It was one of those ones he's sticking around and just shoots like five giant balls of life. And like the first two went off. And then it just went, I'd pointed right at him and fired right at him. And he had his hands by his back. He was just stood here and he just went, and it came right. And it just went straight past his head. He was like, just like, it was so casual. It just really impressed me. That's always interesting to me. Like the little kid looking up to the father. I like like, like, like, wow.
Starting point is 01:25:07 That's awesome. It's never like supporting the family. And maybe you were clothed and well fed. Make sure you had dinner on the table every night. It's like, that's dodging a fireball. Are you a fan of fireworks, Matt? I love fireworks. Yeah, fireworks the best.
Starting point is 01:25:21 When I was a kid, we would always save up all the fireworks, you know, from Fourth of July. Whenever we could a kid, we would always save up all the fireworks, you know, from Fourth of July. Whenever we could get them, because they were illegal in Georgia, you had to drive to like, they're illegal. Yeah, you did drive over the state line to get them, you know?
Starting point is 01:25:33 So it's legal to buy them, you can still use them. No, no. No, technically, technically. You go to another state to buy them. Yeah, it was you and you and you, but they would kind of be like, ah, whatever. It's really crazy. It's really crazy.
Starting point is 01:25:44 It's a law with something that's sort of loud. It's like, I'm big. Well, we did that here one time for July. Well, technically you're in the city limits. Yeah. So you was breaking the law. I was actually fireworks. But no, we shot him off here at the office one time, like in our parking lot.
Starting point is 01:25:57 Like there's like to the video of, uh, I think Dustin or someone like skateboarding over with the fire. And that was in our parking lot. And we're on the same street as a major police station Cops are driving my or shoot not fireworks from the yard It's one of the things where it's like you know if people are handling it okay They they have bigger stuff they can worry about you know like we're the least of their concern That was a big accident
Starting point is 01:26:17 I've probably like two years ago in England where a golf club had a massive fireworks display and the wind took all the smoke across the motorway And there was a huge car pile up and I think like seven people time. Oh, yeah, it was awful. Did you see that video last week of that Russian plane crash? That was insane. From the dash cam. Yes, that was in life. There's a Russian dash cam.
Starting point is 01:26:38 There's a plane that overshotted runway and the airport's right by the highway and the debris from the plane comes out on the highway and it starts hitting cars. Yeah, you know, you know, it's perfectly shot. The plane was landing or the plane was taking it over shooting around. Yeah, so the dash cam is from the cab behind this car in front and all of a sudden you just see the plane like come down on the side and it's got debris and cold. There's a really big tire. Yeah, and I'm just in the car and then the car rolls with the dash cam like starts to hit the brakes and it hits a row of seats Yeah, I was like like close up into the
Starting point is 01:27:10 Like Michael Bay basically actually it really did. I mean, that was kind of thing It was kind of strangely disturbing about it. Is it looked to like a hot like a Hollywood production? Wow I can't reach that. Wow. How did you do that? So Gavin's doing it. So Gavin's drinking. And then just to rock the mouse off of the table. Fingerless glistening. How? Rustrin with an O. The Rusty one playing.
Starting point is 01:27:46 God damn it. Alright, okay, I'm going to leave that Russian dash cam. Let's see if I can find anything. The Russian. There we go. Dash cam footage of Moscow playing crash. So, like, didn't we figure out that like in Russia everyone has dash cam scuba insurance purposes. Yeah. I hear we. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:08 Oh, it might be a little loud. Look at the right of the screen. I'm looking at the right of the screen right now. This is very, very it's oh my god. Apparently you can meet Christian singles too. Hey, wow. that car in front of you got nailed by a tire. Yeah, that's, uh, that row seat is good. But the rest of the video is kind of like disturbing with all the the people that are injured and stuff. But the, I mean, it didn't, it, we're because it looks like,
Starting point is 01:28:38 that looks like it is out of a Michael Bay movie. It doesn't look real. Or like final destination. So it's like that. It's a big, big die. Yeah, for, I believe there were eight people on that plane and four of them died. How big was the plane?
Starting point is 01:28:48 I don't know. Huh. And that's crazy. There's another Russian video. I saw the other day of this, you know, like viral video that was the guy has boiling water. And he's, have you seen this one? And it's like, it's so cold where he is.
Starting point is 01:29:02 It's like negative 40 or something. He goes and and opens his window and throws the boiling water out of the pot and it turns into snow. That's cool. Like almost immediate, like goes. Wow. You should film that in slow mode.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Yeah. Turning water into snow. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm very, very, very, very, very, very, very, there's yellow snow, though. Doesn't get cold enough in the UK. But it gives a good excuse to have a field trip to Russia. I'd love to visit Russia, but it's one of those places
Starting point is 01:29:26 that I'm really scared of the mafia and a crime underworld there. Like controls everything. The machine. Yeah, yeah, like the eye on the machine. Do you imagine how stumbling it would be? Because planes do sometimes collide in the air, right? It's rare, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:42 I was just taking a piss on the plane and just thinking of if a plane hit this right now Me with my penis out suddenly falling towards the earth Such like a change of states I'd be like everything's fine if you were if you were falling and that happened would you bother putting your dick back in your pants? Or would you just follow it like that? That'd be like fucking you know just as well There you go coming in this world naked might as well leave me
Starting point is 01:30:14 It's walking down the street and a guy laughs My god It's actually really rare for planes to collide. If you think about like a 3D space with everything. I always use to think they leave a lot of stuff in space sometimes like space debris. I was wondering if there's a lot of space junk up there. Space junk. I was thinking, well, it's still going to run out of room.
Starting point is 01:30:40 And then he realized that the area around the earth is bigger than the earth. So there's even more room than there is on earth for that kind of thing. Yeah, but it's a limited amount of space. Thanks for cutting me up on pretty much your piece back in. There's a limited amount of space where there's more space around the earth than there is on the earth. But yeah, in the all-beast. I'd say there's a limited amount of space that they'll use more. The sky is bigger than the ground.
Starting point is 01:31:01 The sky is bigger than the sky. That's the next t-shirt down and free. The sky is bigger than the ground. This is science. Sky is bigger than... That's the next key shirt, down and free. The sky is bigger than the ground. Science time and people like great. The sky is bigger than the ground. It's true, but it's just too weird to say it. I feel like... I feel like...
Starting point is 01:31:20 People think that. Like I laugh when you say that, right? I think a lot of listeners think like I'm laughing at you because you're an idiot. But I agree with you, you're right. The sky is bigger than the ground, but it's just like such a weird fundamental thought you never would have thought of. Like I never would have thought of. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:34 The sky is bigger than the ground. That's a good way to start off the year. Yeah. So do you find yourself thinking about crashing into playing a lot when you're in a plane? Only when I fall asleep and I'm waking up. There's like weird state where I get really worried I'm going to die every time I wake up on a plane. And turbulence when you're asleep. Turbulence when you're asleep is just, it's really scary.
Starting point is 01:32:00 A couple of weeks ago I talked about that flight, you were on that flight. I talked about that flight to New Zealand where the turbulence was so bad. When we were landing in the... No, it's when we were over the Pacific, they made the flight of the tent strap in and it was like an hour. Yeah, I don't think we were back. That all thing was bad. I mean, I remember being bad when we were landing too because they have that, there's that weird system, I guess that hangs out like outside of New Zealand, like it's just always there, like some weird, weird semi-tropical depression, but it's always going on. But yeah, there was like an hour, maybe two hours.
Starting point is 01:32:33 We were in the Pacific Ocean, and we were like, yes, not good at all. That was the same flight I think. That's the flight where I had to get up and go to the bathroom, and they yelled at me. I was like, I'm going to be stuck the seat if you don't let me go. I really gotta go. I came over if that was the same wonder if it was the next time I had gone to Australia. I was coming back and I couldn't sleep. I was watching on the movies, I ended up watching Inception.
Starting point is 01:33:00 And then I realized at the end of the movie that I was on the flight that they're on in inception like the exact same flight and I was like this isn't good you know like I'd somehow ended up in the movie I'm not that hilarious did I ever tell you but when I went and saw it and the guy fell asleep in the theater so I was at the gold class theater which is you know before they changed it when it was only like 20 seats in the entire theater yeah and I'm sitting there, I'm like, riveted watching the movie. And I can hear someone like to my left and a row forward going, yes, yes. I look over and it's like an older man who's like, following a sleep with his head down. And he's going, yes, yes. And his wife has to like reach over and shake him and and wake him up and I was like like all the movies to fall asleep And like this one it was so weird. It's an extra level down
Starting point is 01:33:50 Yeah, did I take it by the time I talked to John Locke on lost never mentioned that on the podcast so A firm mind she hadn't seen the lost finale yet And so I went to a place where we're watching it and I had just had a long day And I fell asleep on her couch while the show was going on and at some point in the episode lock goes jack Jack like talking to Jack in the show and I was responding to John Locke on the TV And I woke up and she was like on the floor crying. She was laughing. So I was like what happened? What happened and she's like you were talking a lot? We're like we got to go back we got to go back get the get the beard for it now oh man oh it's not a trim down I trim down we this is the
Starting point is 01:34:30 last podcast was yeah I and it's trimmed down now that's like the Jack you're Jack never had a gross mountain man no but when you the got to go back Jack that that was gross beard not that yeah like here's now is this gross yeah this is this is trim this is this is nice and that's the way I'm trim. Keep it nice. Anyway. So, what did you say you're doing? You're growing that out until pecs?
Starting point is 01:34:52 Yes, but I'm thinking so. So, I think I'm on a quarterly schedule of my beard now. A quarterly schedule. Yeah, we're like ever so late. A beard pay tax. It's what's going on. So, I cut it around Christmas for family stuff. And then I was like, all right, I guess I should look presentable for family, but you can save it
Starting point is 01:35:07 You just like trimmed it I just trimmed down to like probably by like Matt maybe Yeah, this isn't this won't well compared to what a lot of sure and so I'm gonna I'm probably gonna be growing it back out by the time I get the packs Paxi which is in March or April right and so they don't get long and then I'll probably cut it again And then wait till RTX and they'll get long and then I'll probably cut it again and then wait till RTX and then I'll get long in and then I'll cut it out. We should have a beard growing contest. Not for like overall like but you can grow beard the fastest like the longest beard the fastest.
Starting point is 01:35:32 You think people's facial hair grows at the same rate or do you know people's future growth different. There's actually a documentary. There's a city in Texas and they have a beard growing contest just like that. There's a documentary about it called grown a beard And I only know that because the video game company I worked for actually published that movie. Like they were thinking about doing like a whole media conglomerate thing.
Starting point is 01:35:51 And that was like the one movie they released. So it's called Growna Beard. What happened to that company? They're still, they're now doing, like they did Matt games, those are big things. And now they're actually doing like app store stuff. They're actually making money again. Like they got really big and then shrunk down.
Starting point is 01:36:03 And they're actually making some pretty good money. I remember I got offended once when we were doing a short. You got offended. Well, kind of. I was like, oh, but you were like, I think it was Captain Dynamic actually, one of the issues in that. And you were like going around everyone,
Starting point is 01:36:17 and be like, you should probably shave your fine. And it looked to me and you went, I don't think it matters. I just like really crap facial hair back then. You'll find and they look to me and you went I don't think it matters Really crap facial head like that Well, we wrote I wrote that one sketch the secret door one they ended up being you and Bernie Talking yeah, and it was you the starts up with him talking about how weird your hair is. Yeah. But that was just a conversation that me and you had, that I just was riding down at one point. It was just like me making fun of your hair for.
Starting point is 01:36:53 That was, that was a lot of fun to do that one. All the stuff in the closet where this lady was really fun. Yeah. So how many different versions of you were in that closet? I think it was seven. Yeah. And one of them was Ben. Ben really enjoyed being strapped to me for an hour there.
Starting point is 01:37:06 No, I don't think so. I don't think so. There was one work I was tired. I'm actually lying on top of the shelf. Oh, yeah, up on the top of that. I'm really kind of chill. Yeah, what you can't see is because it's like cropped out, but there's a ton of people like below me and like holding
Starting point is 01:37:20 because I could have slipped down the back of the shelf. And I was bound, so that would have really hurt. No, it wasn't. It was slipped down the back of the shelf and I was bound so that would have really hurt. No, it wouldn't have made it down the back of the shelf. You know we we've told the story before and there's an enemy adventure of it about that first time you and I met Matt where I was actually. Yeah I wasn't actually the very first time we met. What was the first time you met? It was that trip though. No. When did we meet before?
Starting point is 01:37:42 We met at Tele Network. Oh did we? Yeah long time ago. Bernie had to do some posters. And he asked me to come help with the posters. And it was like you and Jeff and J-Ray, Ray J. What was that guy doing? And who was together with Nuts? Do we want to say that?
Starting point is 01:37:58 What is that story? I don't know. Maybe not. Oh, yeah. I really remember that. Yeah. I was thinking the first time meeting you. But yeah, but that was so long ago. It was not.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Was that before after they did the switch parity? That was way before. Yeah, that's cool. The switch parity was 0, 3. And then that when the... That was probably like a 99 or something, right? Well, when we met E3 in the Del Taco incident met, the three in the Del Taco incident was 2001. Del Taco incident.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Yeah, it was great. It was great. It was great to have a Del Taco. Yeah. I went back, someone sent me a link to Google Maps where the Del Taco was. It's gone now. Yeah, it's a Chick-fil-A now.
Starting point is 01:38:37 No, it's been, is it? Yeah. The Google Maps just shows it bulldoast. Yeah. And I guess there's like a lot of construction there. So it's gone. It's no longer there. And I showed Jay or Dan, you know, who lived in LA. I was like, oh, I look, this is this was it. And he looked at the address. I said, like, look, I was like, oh, man, you weren't kidding. That's like a really shitty area. Yeah, it was it was bad. I thought it was the one where
Starting point is 01:38:56 like I was working down the street. And occasionally, you know, you like you work until 3 a.m. or something. And it was the only thing open that Del Taco in the area like if you're you know hungry and like you got to get somebody I would drive over there but I ended up always going to be hungry because I would pull it into the drive-through and it would always be transvestite hookers like behind the order menu sign like changing clothes like here you take this wig I'll take that wig. You know, does this push up raw look better on your man boobs than mine?
Starting point is 01:39:31 Or you know, I mean, it was weird. And it was always that way. Yeah, that was my first time. It was not a glamorous part of LA. Well, Los Angeles, was that in Hollywood area? Or was that? Yeah, it was at like Highland and Santa Monica, I want to say. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:39:48 I don't remember. Or by the school, by the high school? Close to that, yeah. OK. Or were we coming to California and so on? So you'll first impression of Gus. So you'll first impression of Gus must have been pretty terrible then. Was it everybody?
Starting point is 01:40:00 Oh, the funny thing is we had already been hanging out earlier in the day, and I remember you were driving, obviously, because you lived out there. And at one point, we were driving by the Capitol Records building. Like, this is one of my first times in LA, so I remember I was like, oh, I've seen that building in movies before. And some woman in a convertible in Mercedes cut you off. Oh, yeah. And you jumped on the other side. And she just't buy, Jeff bought this up on another podcast.
Starting point is 01:40:25 If you want to know. And if you just turned around with the sunglasses on and looked at you and go and mounted, you have a small dick. And I turned around and just kept driving me. And I just about died laughing in the back seat. Wow. L.A. Phone lab worst L.A. driving experience. God. So, um, not worst L.A. driving experience. God.
Starting point is 01:40:48 So, you ever miss a mat? I miss that woman. Yeah, I always said that traffic in Austin was worse than traffic in L.A. Yeah, I know I get, I get, I get, you know, berated by Bernie's for this. But what I was trying to say was that traffic in Austin is less predictable than traffic in LA. And LA, you know when the traffic games are going to be? I have 100% agree with that. Like LA and also LA traffic is always flowing. Like even if it sucks, at least it's moving.
Starting point is 01:41:14 Austin, you can be I-35 going 70, round a hill, and suddenly you're parked on the highway. And you're going to be like that for 30 minutes. That was a car in the middle of... I think it was on Congress yesterday. It just completely on fire. It's sweet, like massively on fire. I don't know what I have no idea what happened. I had never seen a car on fire. Then one time I was driving up
Starting point is 01:41:31 35, I was visiting my family and I was driving back to Austin and I saw a car on fire. Like it was on the side of the road as a minivan. It was like a family standing off to the side. I'm like, oh, that sucks for them. Within, like, I, and this is the first time I'd ever seen a car on fire. Within a week, I more really I was like in one week I saw three cars on fire after never having seen one I can't see the face of those gloves like it's so you're very hand expressive today for some reason there's a there's a rule in the UK about if your car catches on fire in a tunnel you have to drive it out no really yeah you can't just get out what because it's
Starting point is 01:42:04 dangerous have a fire in a tunnel you could destabil it out. No really. Yeah, you can't just get out. What? Because it's dangerous to have a fire in a tunnel. You could destabilize the tunnel and might collapse or something. Oh, everyone in there will die. Would you'll die in the car? What better to lose loose one person with a shitty car? I have to do this for you. For the every car in the UK comes with a break. You just put on the cash. If your radio has a thermometer built into it and gets above like 140 degrees, it starts playing God save the Queen. And then like give you the strength to get through the tunnel. I can't do that. You see someone holding up.
Starting point is 01:42:36 I'm sure people are dicks don't get out of the way. Like, yeah, fuck wait. Wait and lie like everyone else. Excuse me, I'm on fire. You're on fire going behind someone and they turn around and go. Just small dick. Try to be like that in Austin.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Anytime I cut off a woman in traffic in Austin, she always says I have a huge dick. I don't know, it's Texas. Traffic brings out the worst in people, like road rage. Like you will say the most awful thing. Dude, I saw the weirdest road rage thing when we were driving in Atlanta, we were driving along in the middle lane
Starting point is 01:43:09 of a three lane highway and nobody around us. And this little Hyundai or something just put it up in front of us. And then it's huge white F-150. Like we're in all around, cutting in front of us. And I was like, whoa, what's going on with this guy? He seemed like he was drunk and then he got up next
Starting point is 01:43:27 to the guy in the Hyundai and it starts yelling at him through the window and was like, point at him and says, come on, I'll take you on and stuff like that. And the Hyundai did some weird maneuver and the Hyundai's like, it looked like it was a, like an 8,000 pound disadvantage to this f-150. It did some little maneuver where he tricked the guy
Starting point is 01:43:47 to like getting over and then he put on his brakes and caused the guy to stop and the guy kind of veered off into the emergency lane and hit some debris in the emergency lane and lost it and was done. That's 150, was like, was out and the guy in the little Hyundai just like, and put it away like Mr. McG It was like, was out. And again, the little Hyundai just put it away like Mr. McGuity was throwing out their own drives off just to adjust his time. Yeah. Okay, well, where about that time where we got to wrap things up? No. So you're
Starting point is 01:44:15 going to be in Vegas when this is airing? Yes. I will be actually be on a plane on the way back. Okay. What is the equivalent of doing that to a woman? Like the woman said, you have a small penis. Oh, you have a small penis. Don't you have a huge vagina? Bucket vagina. All right. You have no boobs. Like this, no boobs.
Starting point is 01:44:33 Okay, I'm in. Thank you for joining us, everyone. Wow, the class is part of us. For part cast you, Hudgeon, we're wrapping up.
