Bernie. Hello Gus. My head is way too long. Shut up about your hair. Okay. Today is the fifth anniversary of the starting of the Roostery podcast. What does that mean today's the fifth anniversary? This is the first podcast ever was released December 9th, 2008.

Okay. So today is December 9th, but we took like a long break. We didn't start weekly until April or May of the next year. I had a strategy that worked really well for a long time at the company, which was when we talked we talked about making something for a long time. The podcast was one, a lot, a lot of different stuff. That like we talk about making something for a long time. The podcast was one lot a lot of different stuff that like we talk about making it. It's like but never got around to making it because we were busy with other stuff that was already established. I'm like, yeah, we'll get to it. We'll get to it. Then I would just come in one day with a video or do that thing. Like the podcast sit down and do it and record it and then just start it.

And then other people get excited about doing it or like, oh shit. This like this ship is leaving without me and then they would like start doing I think I ran the first what five podcast I think you're on the first five which took about six months to get out. Yeah Well, you did yeah, you did that with a shorts as well You would just pick up a camera film like ninja girls little short. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah Start doing gameplay videos to the the color duty. You remember the mile high club one went like that that was just a one of you playing grow and

with very early Dan Grosje appearance haha the Nino G okay say his gamertag yeah yeah dance gamertag is Nino G his mom would always turn his route or off his router man what well that just goes a show that like I was playing with guys in a different country who weren't old enough to get permission from their parents. Oh, he was old enough. The parents, his parents are just psychopaths. Clearly, he wasn't old enough if his mom was shutting off 21, I think. Yeah. Yeah, still. He's in a place in life where his mother can shut his internet off.

You're when you're in that place in life, you're not old enough yet. And Grau is that game where when you die, the rest of your party doesn't know about it. They just might get cut off. So you'll just be playing along, you'll be communicating numbers like Dan. Dan, Dan, and then. But they must know from playing it enough

that that's how that person's just killed now. So it does take you a while to know because you're checking in with each other? Yeah. I want to play Grau again. Let's do it. I have a bunch of copies. I bought it just in case you want to do a podcast. Let's play we have For a point you want to play Even if we don't record it, I would like to play grow it. It's just recorded the thing

It sounds like a noise a monster would make it is raw the thing with Dan though is that when he went silent You had to you had to try and figure it out. Was it a tank or was it his mom right? What what happened to it? Was it his mom right what what happened to it? What's up? The air is question or this mother is loving mother the NSA would be curious to find out the answer to that all right Host of iTunes number one gaming podcast. What does graustan for ghost recon advanced war fighter? Wow I didn't think you were at the war fighter right part right now. I was gonna say warrior. That's a bitch move war fight warfighter Warfighter fight wars that's what so desires net that warfighters Yeah, but we the term warrior is actually a term we don't need warfighter

But war is go to a chef ago. Are you the food cook guy? It's too literal. There's a word from what he does chef Fire fire, but that word already exists Well for a reason because someone said it was, didn't they? So does war fight. And someone said warrior ones. War fighter was made up. Had you ever heard the word war fighter before Grocky mount? Is that a word you've ever heard?

No. War fighter. But firefighter was no matter how it used to be firemen. And that was a little non-PCs. They made firefighter. It was around, just about as long. Firefighter's just as old of a war. Firefighter does not feel like a new term to me Maybe they introduced it in the UK maybe not really fighting anything either So should we cover some of the topics since we're talking about five years of the podcast one of the early topics

We would always talk about Gavin was Privacy issues and how Gavin would always post every bit of his life online. Yep, and in the UK There's cameras on every block or wall. Yeah, I felt really safe walking alone in the dock, because this camera's everywhere. No one's going to come and stab me, because it would be on film. Even though statistically cameras don't do anything

to impact their prevent crime. They don't. They don't. They don't. How do you know that? Because the crimes haven't been done. And areas where they roll out camera systems here in the US where we don't have them, it has no impact at all on crime.

Is it true? I didn't know that. It doesn't matter. It like there's an initial dip when people are aware of them that after a while people just don't give a fuck and there's so many cameras nobody's watching them. I feel so much safer when I know there's no way

to catch people live. You might be able to check the other guy. Oh, I'm getting the shit beat out of me. I'm getting killed right now, but they're gonna get caught. In the end, you're still fucked. It doesn't matter. They helped that one individual person,

but it helped bring crime down when people are constantly getting arrested. Can I, because someone didn't see you, you met or something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Guys, can I ask you a question and you can totally take a pass on this if you want to do? Do you believe in the death penalty? No.

You don't, okay. Do you believe that life sentences and? No. You don't. Okay. Do you believe that life sentences and prison sentences are discouragement for crime? I don't know if it's a discouragement. I feel like life in prison is way harsher than the death penalty. Because it's a long time. I would say that would probably was the case. I don't know if that's the case anymore.

But I don't know if people committing the crime view it that way. If they have that deep of a thought process about it Yeah, like to them maybe death is the ultimate punishment But I don't know to be the hardest part about the death penalty would be your death is a date on the calendar Like a fucking dentist appointment and the idea of like I'm getting closer to January 15th 2018 or something like that if I die in January 15th, 2018 or something like that. If I die in January 15th, 2018, this is going to come back to home. But no, to know that that's your the date of your death on the calendar, like, and it's coming towards you, that would be its own unique kind of a punishment.

Until it, but it also gets pushed and appeals and you never know. I feel like those dates constantly move until finally one, and then then you get you get numb to it And then eventually one time it's like oh shit. No, that's really happening. It's time to get numb to that If you could find out that you could find out the date that you would die of natural causes Like this is the date you're gonna die genetically. It's absolutely proven within 99.9% accuracy You will die on this date. Would you want to know the date? Sure, why not you might be surprised how remarkably close it would seem. Absolutely not.

You're not going to live to 2060. No, I'm probably not. Did we talk with some last broadcasts? Yeah. Oh, so you're going to do yourself in age 40 with a shotgun. Yeah, I'm running out of time. Shit. Gus has already set his date.

I bet I have to follow through with that, right? You could file for an appeal. I'll get it pushed back. I'll be the judge. Gus lives. Um, why do you don't think you would want another date? Yeah, I guess I would. I mean, if somebody asked me, is it a get a one chance to know it or not know it? I'd rather know it because then you can be reckless as shit, right? No, no, I'm saying you would die of natural causes. You still die of like, you know, because then of course, why wouldn't you know, because then you just act like a jackass. So would that be it with someone's job to tell people what

day they're gonna die? Sure why not? He'd be a life fighter. Deathmiding. People would come up to me they'd be like when am I gonna die and I could just be like today. I think as we get further along in genetic therapies and genetic technology I really think we're gonna really be discouraged by how much of our life is actually predetermined by our genetics. As we discover that, as we go forward with this, it's gonna be like, oh yeah,

some people, no matter how much they worked out, they were always gonna be, you know, they really didn't have a shot. They were gonna be four foot four. There's nothing that could've been done for them. So I hit that really picket height that was not defensive to anybody out there. Sorry. I'm sure some of us will defend it. So 23 and me really did you see the CEO emailed all of their existing customers over the weekend. Yeah. Saying that they have a reason to agree with the FDA to continue providing their service, but they will no longer provide

genetic based health information. They won't try to be a medical... So it's just going to be weather-free. Right. So just for genealogy ancestry purposes now. Maybe they can work in some sort of code where if they find out that you're from Japan and they also say you're from Australia, you have heart cancer or something. Heart cancer, if you're... What are you have heart cancer or something. Heart cancer, if you're...

What are you trying to say? Like, you can... They can work in sneaky codes by just saying you're from places that you're not, and each country would... How would they do that? I don't know, to get around it. I'm so happy I did my already before the fact. I think they're working to try to establish so they can begin providing this information again in the future. I'm a little bit more worried though, going back to our discussion was that the articles

have been reading about 23 and me, people have been saying that they don't really care about the medical test part, all they really care about is just getting people to take the test because they're gathering a bunch of genetic data, they're gathering as much personal information as they can possibly get. Which worries me. Did you know about the Android app that was just, somebody made an Android flashlight app and it was determined that the flashlight app is just collecting personal data and transmitting to the company. Oh really? Yeah, so what's you in? And it was solved by

like lots of people. Oh, here. I'll look at the article and give you a second. Okay, so what it get? The presentation I know was one of them. It probably can also access your address book. Do the adults just take any genetic material from you when you're born? There was a bit of controversy in Texas because it was discovered a few years ago that every baby born in the state had like umbilical tissue gathered and collected and stored

by like a state medical agency. They would take a umbilical cord blood, and you could like sign a waiver on it, and they would just take it. They didn blood and you could like sign a waiver on it and they would they would They think that stuff might be really healthy like you can grow stuff from Umbilical goop when both my kids were born there was an option to pay I think it was like $10,000 To get their stem cells yeah with their umbilical cord blood and they would store that For them to use and that cost 10 gram for them to store it. Yeah, I think it was 10 gram

You could store that yourself like in your fridge store it. Yeah, I think it was 10 grand for them. You could store that yourself. Like in your fridge? Freeza. Yeah. Dry fridge. But my logic on it a little bit when I was making the decision was when I was drawing this back a little bit because it's technology-based.

When I built a house, I wired hardwired my house. I built a house in like 1996 or 2007. The house in Buda? Nine. 99? Yeah. But I hardwired the whole house. I built a house in like 1996 or 7, the house in Buda. 99? Yeah. But I hardwired the whole house, network ports everywhere. And I'd read like about IP fridges that would scan your food and it would build a shopping list for you. So I had a network port even like behind the fridge. And as far ahead thinking as I was about technology, I didn't, it didn't occur to me that wireless was going to become a big deal in the house. Like Wi-Fi routers were not routers, were not a big deal at the time. And so it wasn't just a big thing.

I don't know if it was 99 when I designed it, but it was right around that time. And so it's like looking back, I was like, oh, I should have just done wireless everywhere instead of having ports. Where do you think the name Wi-Fi comes from? I don't know. It's a good question. I know. I know. Go? I don't know, does it get question? I know, I know. Go.

Why are you even out? It's a term, wireless fidelity. It was things that initial Wi-Fi devices had to be certified with certain levels of wireless fidelity to be used. So wireless fidelity just became synonymous with the wireless device, so they just called it Wi-Fi. But you don't know that it's a play of Wi-Fi.

I don't know that it's a play of Wi-Fi. No, Dan. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, That's that's that's why it is is they called it that because it's easy because it's high-fighted I'm telling you what they called it. I'm not telling you the history you asked what it stood for no I didn't yeah you did it called Wi-Fi because of wireless fidelity because of a high-fi so wireless fidelity is called Wireless fidelity because of high fidelity yeah, so Wi-Fi is called Wi-Fi because of wireless fidelity Which is called that because of high fidelity which is shortened to high-fi Yeah, but they only call it Wi-Fi because of high five, because high five is catchy. You're taking that to me. Last week, I wrote in passing, this is from Boing Boing,

November 8, 2005. Last week, I wrote in passing about how Wi-Fi doesn't stand for wireless fidelity. It's a pun on high five, and wireless fidelity doesn't mean anything. Inumerable correspondence wrote in to say that the Wi-Fi alliance said different. I disagreed and still argue that it's a litmus test for whether a given article Wi-Fi is

likely to be ill informed is whether it takes pains to utter the nonsense, non-instructive phase Wi-Fi, short for wireless fidelity, proof of this principle can be found in West Tester's boilerplate justification for its amazingly dumb anti-open Wi-Fi legislation proposal. Anyway, the Wi-Fi alliance says Wi-Fi doesn't stand for anything. It is not an acronym, there is no meaning. Wi-Fi and the yinging-brang logo were invented by Interbrand. We, the founding members of the wireless Ethernet compatibility Alliance, hired Interbrand to come up with a name and logo that we could use for our seal and marketing efforts. So it supposedly doesn't mean anything and it it's not a pun off of high five.

It is. Damn it. Okay. I was just no convincing you otherwise. Even I'm like, okay, maybe I'm wrong. You're like nah. And it doesn't mean wireless fidelity. All right, I hate to read twice in a row,

but I'm gonna read again. Flashlight Android app, popular Android flashlight app has been surre-typously. Surre-surre-typously, I say that? I don't say that word. I don't either. Secretly collecting personal data. And it's surre-typically, surre-surre-typically, I say that? I don't say that word. I don't know either. Secretly collecting personal data. And surre-typically.

How can we get produced? I don't say that word. I better specifically don't say that word because I'm here. The Federal Trade Commission found that brightest flashlight, which has been downloaded over 50 million times, and enjoys nearly a million five-star rating in the Google Play Store, to see both users by both sharing location data and device identification information with third parties, including advertising

networks. Before the customers had a chance to out-down. It's genius. It's genius. When do you turn on a light? When you've lost something. When you need a light bulb. Sure. So the light bulb companies made this app to know when to send when to sell light bulbs. Or when people lose something in the woods and they're searching around, they maybe lost that wallet. It's basically just locations of people's wallets. It's money and treasure. It pretty much is. I think it's more the house because you usually lose stuff like at night in your house.

Yeah. And you're trying to like make a way back in the bathroom or something. I just turn my lights on, but sure you can do that too. I know. You can go lazier. I have, then you smoke detector by nest. It has going to have a built-in night light where if it detects all your lights are off and it senses you moving around, it turns on like a

really dim blue light to illuminate the room for you. That's cool. It's cool. It's like when you walk if you let your lights go. Make them out of the smoke detector by the way. That's what I was talking about. Oh, that's exactly what I was talking about. I heard the nest thing. My nest thermostat comes out with a blue light. Oh yeah, it does yeah That's so I heard half of it. I put it screen dims on an Xbox when you walk up to the connected I'm that's creepy. I always go to I said did I oh? Okay, I'll do that again Sereptitious syrup Tissues leave I don't like it I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don of those. I think he got lights that are designed by us or something like his front house lights or Inside of his house. They're all controlled by his bones. I think it's nest. No, it's just milking It's a belkin we mo I think it's really supposed to have the huge black bulbs to do that. I have those oh really You can set the color on them. He's done. Oh, yeah, I've seen those I bought Jack some of that stuff those like things you can control via your phone from his

I bought Jack some of that stuff those like things you can control via your phone from his From his wish list for his his wedding and I think the note I wrote on it was anytime you dim the lights to bang think of me And now he's gonna think of me every time he goes to turn the lights off Being so being in bed and being up. I can turn off my TV That's awesome and my lights from I didn't never have to get out so speaking of banking I want to I want to segue back to something we were talking about earlier Don't jump ahead with the fuck is wrong with you guys learn until goddamn story Before the podcast started Bernie said like I said and say it a good Bernie said a good way to

Like I said, I didn't say it a good Bernie said a good way of penis girth is to use the cardboard roll inside of a roll of toilet paper I'm not a penis guy in the center of a piece of earth. What did you say? No? No, no, you could say measuring gut. Everyone's gonna know what you're talking about Okay, measuring girl with the fuck doesn't matter to you more descriptive It's good and it seemed ridiculously big to me You be surprised so we went and got me surprise and it's it seemed big That's the funny picture of it. It seemed big. Well the whole like that. There you go But uh, but that we started to begin your hand on screen. We started doing some tests and it feels right

God's gosh you you went after Gavin you get to tear that little piece of Sorry God guys, why do you show us the other way you tested to see if it's felt big enough? It's immediately put in your mouth. He did it before I did see the thing I was more interested in is could you It's immediately put in your mouth. He did it before I did see the thing the thing I was more interested in is could you Hulk your way out of this by stuffing your flaccid penis down it and then getting a love on his You did not you did not understand the test at all like you were saying first of all Barbara asks She says do you use your rec penis your flaccid penis like who why who would ever measure their flaccid penis for anything ever

Who would ever do that? I don't know, I don't have one. It would be disappointing. Do you measure your boobs when you're in a sports bra? Do you do that? You put on a sports bra and then mention your boobs? That's a really good analogy. No, you don't. And then Gav was like, well, I could put my flasks and penis in it and then get it wrecked.

And then I would be fitting in it. It's like Gav thought the goal was to fit inside it. If you could fit inside there. He doesn't fit in it. It's like, Gavin thought the goal was to fit inside it. Yeah, but if you could fit inside there. No, he doesn't fit in it that he failed the test. But I don't understand what's the point of this. Is it because a girl doesn't like it if it's smaller than this? Barbara?

It was just a measurement of birth. I'm sure you'll see a dozen posts that go one way or the other. That's about right. Where did you read this, by the way? I read it somewhere. I was like, there's like someone came up, like this was a good test.

E-L-I-5, what's a good penis girth? What's that? Yeah. I like that. I like E-L-I-5 now. Is that a new thing on Reddit? I think it's getting popularity recently. What is it?

Explain like I'm five. So people explain like really complicated topics. Like explain why I'm five, why my Wi-Fi router won't go through one fucking wall in my house I would really love to know why that's the case and that was one that I read Oh, and it was the material of the wall. Yeah, apparently there's metal pipes in the wall That's a huge barrier. Yeah to to wife I mean I got wife I my house That thing I have extenders everything I cannot get wife I to work in my bedroom

It just it just doesn't work as best as I'm upstairs No, I don't think so. I think that's very easy little clear thing No, I use my clear thing it I'm sad to report this I use my little puck I have like a little hotspot internet puck and I use it at work because everyone else is just bogging down the internet I have to use that though because you have a phone the phone that. I can't use my phone for tethering. Why? Because I have an unlimited data plan. And on 18T if you have an iPhone, if you tether your phone, you have to give up your grandfathered unlimited data plan. How much data to you? Do you use that much? I don't know, but I was at the check here. You said I was in that button. I'm a thundle. Actually actually has a t Tetherable phone so we choose her to tether Hmm, we ever do it and actually use the hotspot it works pretty well And I never have to get hotel internet as a result. I had a great moment I was flying to LA and I wanted to download a movie on my iPad

But I forgot like I was a leave for the airport so I tethered my phone I had my iPad connected through Wi-Fi to my phone my phone was downloading stuff I just put my phone in my pocket My iPad was just downloading the movie in my backpack because I was walking around and as I got on the plane It said 99% and then just ticked 100% and I was like, wow, it was awesome. I just did it while I was walking around That's a great. I downloaded a movie in my back You such a like sit back and think like yeah, what the fuck did I just do? Yeah, my phone was grabbing movie and sending it to my iPad

while I was just walking around. As you're boarding the plane. And it cost me a bomb. The movie was it. It was this is the end. Oh, what do you think? It's a good movie, it was worth it. I thought it's funny.

Yeah, it's better than I expected. It's not as good as Sean or the dead, but. I definitely... No, this is the end. The world's end. Oh, it was a good... I have not seen the world's end That might be a good segue to movies for the year. I think so. So you watch the Simon peg movie That's what I was trying to say. I have seen this is the end as well, and I also saw the world

Would you like better? The world Barrow, which do you like better? I did not see At world's end or whatever it's called the world Did not see The And they were also released like within two weeks from each other It happened with Sean of the dead it came out the same years don't of the dead the remake same year But these movies came out like two weeks from each other. I think there's the same with Sean of the two This is the end they were like too much. I like this is the end. This is the end was a Seth Rogen one

World's End was Simon Peng is confused. Yeah, isn't't there also a Jaden Smith movie called At World End? Let's go after Earth. Uh-oh. There's a Pirates of the Caribbean movie called At World End, I think. Oh. There's a soap opera called World Turns. I feel like I have to contribute to this horrible conversation time.

So yeah, in keeping with podcast traditions, I think it's time to talk about potential nominees for this year's podcast awards. Well, so well, let me adjust my mic. Since we have a gaming podcast, we're gonna break out all of the gaming awards and move them to the patch. Makes sense. So if you don't watch or listen to the patch, check it out. We're gonna talk about it there. Wednesdays at four. Wednesdays at four, 30, for sponsors. 430 now. Is it 430? It's 4, you're right.

I'm only on it every fucking week. Wednesdays at four. First sponsors. Wow. So we're only going to talk about the non-gaming related awards here, which are movie of the year, TV show of the year, TV show of the year, and internet video of the internet video. And internet video. When we did the intro to the animated recap, that was not scripted. You and I doing that little arguing thing. Oh, yeah, we talked over each other, we're trying to announce something together. Yeah, they were like, just our first take. They were like, just, yeah, they were like, just

add liban argument. And literally, we just started. And then like, that's what came out, we're like, that's it, just use that. JJ has been killing it with the recap slightly. Yeah. That was the worst script I've ever read in my life. It literally said, Gus and Bernie say, this is the animated recap, et cetera, et cetera. That's what the script said.

from oh since the end of the year it's all about delicious holiday food why not berries, berries. I also say both. That's where that joking reverse blue came from. Ah, month. Since the end of the year, it's all about delicious holiday food. Why not send an extra special holiday treat to France Family, Business Associates, everyone you know. Send giant dip straw berries from Sherries berries for only 1999. That's over 40% savings. Go to berries.com, click on the microphone,

They sent us a bunch. I don't like the favorites among our sponsors. This is a good one. I like the dark chocolate in the milk.

I haven't tried the white chocolate yet. I'm going to try that one right now. But you can get this special offer 1999. If you call, you can call them, I guess, 866 fruit ZERO2, fruit zero to number nine, fruit zero to or even better, berries.com B-E-R-R-I-E-S.com, click on the microphone in the top right corner and type in teeth.

They're really good. We have a few here in the office. We've been really fighting over and trying to eat them. Gavin is dying. And it's a good thing for the holidays if you don't know what to get like your grandmother or something. Fuck it. Let's get us some strawberries.

Was that in the coffee? Yes. Get your grandmother some strawberries. Fuck it. Oh, but I just confirmed that they're excellent. These are good, man. These are really good. I got you some champagne to go with that. Barbara says you want champagne to be fancy with her strawberries. I feel like they go hand in hand. So it might help me open this. You know, food is a gift is that never goes wrong.

No, it never does. So like we would do for corporate gifts, we send people barbecued because we're from Texas. We will see people a year later, and that's the first thing they talk to us about. Oh, I don't know, I don't know what it is, amazing. So instead of barbecued, send some chocolate to our shop, are you right? If I talk it is good. So good, all right send some chocolate cover shopper. You're right. If I chocolate it's good.

So good. Alright. Did you ever see what happened to a warstar? What? I was gonna bring up a story about that. Um, one year you guys sent. I don't want one. Hey, let's keep kind of one.

Come get one. Get some for you guys also. Yeah. Javascript simply. One year, um, you guys sent Turkey to mega 64. And they put it in their fridge and left it there for a couple days. And it sank up their entire office. and they got mad at you guys. That's their own fucking phone.

No, like in a joking way. They're like, how dare Ritchie sent us this turkey to Singapore? How dare they not eat the fucking turkey? What the hell is wrong with that? They ate it. Doesn't sound like it. That's a problem with this is that somebody would send me these and be like, oh, what? Because I would eat eight of them in one sitting.

Are you ready to take a fork? You're just so good. Ah, fuck. All sitting. Are you ready to take a take a cork? You're so good All right, you're gonna open the champagne. Yeah, I'm gonna fire a bunny. No, are you really? Yeah, it's a shame There's nothing I can do about it now though. We've made the decision. It's a shame shame That story was good open the thing up got a fucking drink some champagne with the strawberries. Yeah Let me get this little cage off it years watching Gavin do this. I don't trust him. Yeah. Let me get this little cage off it. You're watching Gavin Doodish. I don't trust him. Jesus Christ, dude.

Just open the fucking champagne. All right, ready? No, it's too much at me. Just give it up. Just fucking shoot it off, dude. You're gonna spill it everywhere. Oh my god. What are you doing?

I'm fired up. Fire! Hurry. You got to keep the conversation good, because this could take a lot. So I'm watching Gavin. He will apparently cannot get the work out of the game. It's going! It's teasing! There it goes! We got like a centimeter of endurance.

I feel like my prom date right now. Hurry up! Ugh! Oh, it's coming out! I see it! It's going! Ugh! Jesus Christ! You're killing me!

You're killing all of us! You're killing the fucking audio podcast. Oh, you're way over him. You're over shot. That's a full intense. No, we don't have any glasses. This is yours. Drink it. No, Gavin. Well, I've got to hold down. No, Gavin. God, dude. Get out of here. Don fuck it throw it away. That's good. It's good. We did give a bottle of champagne to open to the one guy who every time he opens a beer on screen,

he somehow manages to have it fuzz all over the place. Someone made a compilation of all the times I spilled beer. And every single time I didn't do anything, I just drink to the beer and it happens. All right, is it safe? I have you like in normal public, like, oh, all the time.

It feels like a ball, yeah, sucks. What's wrong? Okay, I'll modify your top cast awards. Oh, okay. Great. So categories are movie best movie best TV show best internet video best internet video I compiled a list here that I sent out of just like potential talking points. I also have a list Which one is I forgot about a lot of internet videos like I had to take a lot of time It's always the case watching and going back and seeing stuff And I'm sure you've got some that I told you forgot about not really a lot of them

So movies that came out this year that I listed as potential candidates first of all I want to say Year 2013 for movies. This was the year of like to me major Internet or major franchise bombs like big things I went through the year like looking at the summer if you were gonna put out a really big movie this would have been the year to do it because it was a bunch of friggin dugs that came out like what well even like Ender's Game I know it was one of the fall movies but that thing didn't make any money but I made a list here I'll

let I let Gus start talking about his and I'll tell you mine I got a kind of a long list. I don't necessarily believe in some of these. I just want to put them out there to argue about. Okay. But I've got movies on here, like Iron Man 3, horror games, Catching Fire. You already passed over like being a oblivion.

I didn't even put up with that. Totally forgettable. There's a bunch of forgettable movies. Invisium, Man of steel gravity World War Z star trick in a darkness specific rim hang over three great grad speed bad ground paw This is the end And we also have movies that I'm sure it's a bit misleading. We're the movies that even come out yet like hobbit 2 American hustle Wolf of Wall Street. I have seen Wolf of Wall Street and Hobbit 2.

How are they? They were both a button on my phone. Good. I will be careful not to spoil anything because I know the thing. I think Wolf of Wall Street is probably my pick for Best Movie the Year. It would be on my list, along with the gravity was really good. And Hobbit 2 definitely delivered on the Smow the Dragon. Okay. The Dragon is badass. Well, sorry, inside Lueland Davis, 47 Ronin, and the Secret Life of Walter Middys. So there's a lot of like, I'm looking forward to that.

I'm looking forward to that. That's the Ben Stiller movie where he like imagines himself in different scenarios and then kind of goes on some kind of adventure it looks like. It's almost like Ben Stiller's midlife crisis movie, but some of the visual effects in that movie look incredible. I know I read that story when I was in middle school, but I can't remember anything about it. I want to dig it up again. I think it's a short story. Yeah. So that's all I've got. I think on this list of stuff that I've seen so far, my

favorite movie, personally, I think that I've seen this year's gravity, but I really want to see American hustle and wolf of Wall Street. Do you see Matt Esteele? I have not seen Matt Esteele. There's a word he pronounces wrong.. You see a man of steel. I have not seen my steel He there's a word he pronounces Rome. He pronounced a lot of words and cricket. He says whoof and not wolf I said wolf you say whoof you do say whoof Oh stupid I said wolf you say whoof of lost will say whoof instein Wolf no wolf instein, okay? I compiled a list of major franchise movies that were just kind of a dud when they came out

I remain three and man of steel did very well, but they were both kind of like People were kind of like More so about Man of Steel. I liked I like Man of Steel. I like Man of Steel too, but it was kind of weird I thought it was just visually really cool and awesome to watch everything get smashed to pieces Do you read what I tweeted about that? No, I said I couldn't decide if I liked Man of Steel or if I just really really Hate buildings that? I said I couldn't decide if I liked man of steel or if I just really, really hate buildings. Because that movie is just like property damage on a massive scale. I cost him a fly. She over here that Brandon's reminding us about 12 years of slave. Yeah, I actually have that one that I'm trying I'm trying to watch that one. I'm just

going to go to theater to watch it. What's the movie about? Well, who's in that movie? 12 years of slave. I know Brad Pitt's in it for a bit. I don't know who the lead is though. What's the deal from it's I think it's about a freed black man who's living in the north. What's one about taking back to the South for the Civil War? What's the one about Mandela? I don't remember. With Idris Elba. I think it's called Mandela, isn't it? Is it? Yeah. Is that come out? I think it's coming out pretty soon. They had some bad ill-timed, ill-warded tweets promoting their movie right on the tree. I think he died in the middle of the premiere. If I can't pronounce, seriously, typically,

that I am not going to pronounce his dude's name. It's Chihuetal Illusion 4. Gigio 4. I'll tell you what he was in though. You will definitely recognize the dude. You will definitely recognize the dude. You will definitely recognize the dude. If you have a picture of the guy up there, we can pull him up. He's got his name up there.

Yeah, and they're gonna pick up. You'll definitely recognize this guy. So what's he's been in? Oh, he's been in ton of stuff. He's been in ton of stuff. He was the dude from... He was the assassin in Firefly, wasn't he? Was he the assassin in Serenity?

Was he? No, he's in for tonight. And he was in for tonight. I can't pronounce anything. Yeah, let me look him up. Me and told he was in lawn order. No. Oh, the guy in Firefly.

What's the name? It's a lawn order. Yeah. No, his name, but he was from low and low. Yeah. OK. So yeah, so you obviously got awards for category. We clearly know nothing about.

What are the movies that you have on your list? OK. Do you guys have any movies? So this year, these are big movies I thought that we should have defined the year. Anyone could have, but they didn't. Star Trek Into Darkness, Iron Man 3, After Earth, Man of Steel, Pacific Rim, and Elysium, and Enders game. Any one of those movies could have been the biggest movie of the year, but they all just kind of like just, where it's kind of I mean man is stealing I mean

I think we're probably the biggest ones that did well, but they also kind of even with each other. Yeah, people are just like Hey, it was cool. Yeah, I get the feeling I want to have every movie theater this year just like But not like that was amazing. Yeah, gravity would be an exception to that gravity was good Grab it. It's the one movie that really grabbed me. I really liked Hunger Games too. It pulled me in. But we talked about it before. I know if you've heard the podcast, but I talked about catching fires being like...

Elite up. Yeah, it's like a perfect number two movie. And it's like, it is cool, but ultimately, when I go to the movie theater, I would like to watch a standalone and capsulated story. Like, I'm okay with open-ended stories, a game of thrones on TV. I love that stuff, walkin' dead. I like when one thing leads to the next.

Even between seasons, I'm okay with that. Well, I think TV's a lot different than movies, in the sense. Yeah, when I go to a movie theater, I expect to get a full story. Like, they can be connected to the other ones, but I want, like, everything I understand about the Harry Potter movies, except for the ones

they split up. Because you want to feel satisfied at the end, like it wraps up and it's on story. Yeah, but what do you, how do you feel about a movie like No Country for Old Men? I think it's fantastic. Or a exception. What's wrong with No Country for Old Men?

It wraps up the story of the protagonist, but I think Gavin thinks it's open ended because the antagonist kind of- Honestly, I was open ended. It's an amazing thing. It's really abrupt weird ending that I was just like oh either the ending of no country Phil men was perfect didn't he die off screen no he got a car wreck and he broke his arm Oh, who are you talking about you know what the protagonist you're talking about the antagonist do you know what those words mean

Yeah, the protagonist is the all-dependent who is the main character of no country Phil men which is a movie from like at this point what four or five years ago? Five or six years ago at this point. Wow, it's been that long, huh? I would make a bet that most people identify Anton Shugur as the main character of that movie. He's the bad dude. That's why I was careful to say protagonist and antagonist instead of main character. Yeah, because the Josh Bowling character is like, you're not even that good of a protagonist. Yeah. He's Josh rolling character is like you think I'm not good of a protagonist

Yeah, he's trying to steal a bunch of money, you know, who's Josh rolling is a cowboy who finds the money. Yeah, Anton Shaguer is the guy who is a heavier Bardem plays him the guy that's chasing Big Man. Yeah I don't I don't see how I mean I can see like some people would be disappointed by the ending I don't see how I mean I can see like some people would be disappointed by the ending But I don't necessarily need a thing where like the evil guy gets a complete come up and you know that's not entirely necessary, but I would actually say not to spoil anything for anybody, but I mean Hobbit 2 is definitely a very

Middle movie. Well, yeah, I would imagine they took one book and made pretty movies out of it It's very middle. How many pages? Even for the book in like the section they took out of the book I don't know how disappointed people will be by this but probably Fifth-eat at 70% of that movie is new material. It is not from the book. Oh really? I guess they had to do that. Otherwise, it would have been like a 70 page book and if you read the book You definitely feel it in this one I didn't necessarily feel it in the first one, even though there was that extra stuff with Gandalf and the Necromancer. I remember you weren't too much of a fan

of the first Hobbit movie. You saw it being at last year, right? I was not a fan of 48 frames. 48 frames. And I can't say I didn't like Hobbit 2. Hobbit 2 was incredible. Is it 48 frames? I didn't see it in 48 frames.

I saw it 24 frames 2D. I believe I saw it. Either that or 48 frames. Which I imagine is the way most people have seen that movie. Yeah, okay, buying it on Blu-ray and stuff. Yeah, yeah, I mean I have Hobbit on Blu-ray. I can't say I didn't like it. It's all those things. It falls in that weird category of, did I like it versus what I recommend it, you know? I think recommending something is like a totally different category. But I like to perfectly find. I loved watching Hobbit too. Every frame of it was enjoyable. And I, if you like Legolas too, because I don't think it's a spoiler, say Legolas is in Hobbit. He's off. He's even that trailer, isn't he? Yeah, he's

in the trailer. He's totally. I love me some Arlano Bloom. Yeah. If you like Legolas and the trilogy, the Lord of Ringchilogy, he is a fucking awesome and hot he's awesome well So are there any other movies on your list that you didn't get to or do you guys have anything? I got to tell you if I got more from my list here lone ranger came out this year. Oh, yeah hang over three RIPD world war Z that was probably the ultimate one that could have defined the year but didn't Smurfs two came out this year and that was dude smurfs the first one was an enormous hit that movie me like half a billion dollars and the Or maybe we're just getting too picky. No, I went I went through the I went through lists of movies You know before we talked about it and a lot of it just didn't stick Yeah, I'm a six a furious six. No, that one that one was big remember that the trailer with the fucking tank and everything I remember that movie and Then the Rick I mean I like pitch black a ton the first one and people really liked the Rick series of a bunch I love fast was it fast five was that the last one?

No, the last one was six. No, the last one. Oh, yeah, that's fast five. That one was awesome. I went to master panky theater for fast five. Fast five. I went and saw fast five. It was amazing. I wish I could So funny. You know what D box is barber? I don't know a debauch is there seats There's one thing you're not doing that you one No, it's You put your D in the box it's it's seats and you go and you sit in the seat and When the like stuff happens on screen the seats move. Oh, yeah, which sounds so fucking gimmicky But it's a stormtroopers are not stormtroopers Star tours in Disney World Yeah, this is I it sounds like amusement park ride, but it's not that yeah

I saw a bus six in debuffs and it was amazing even like the sweeping aerial shots. They're like You sell that are fast five with me. No, I saw physics. Physics with a Michael. I think it's our fast five with Ben. It Was a Ben yeah, I remember seeing fast six in debocks. I'm just sitting down and I just didn't feel good that day And I was like, man, I could totally throw up right now And I remember that the seats were about to stop going all over the place I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go and throw up right now. So I just went and vomit and came back and watch the movie I don't understand that if I vomit that's my whole day like It's a pop top this morning and then barfed and I came to school

I'd be like if I barfed I'm done That's it. That's what I take it to get out of everything else for the rest of the day. No, it's just an inconvenience to me It's like I need I'll feel better when I'm fond I'll do it It's a deal breaker. I can't like just you can be okay. I'm like down. I'm down for the count that day Yeah, I can puke without even bending over you just go feel good now Let me see even more scared about the times you come close on the podcast come close Yeah, yeah, what do you think I? Come close. I think I'm going near you. How are we not eating the rest of the strawberries? They're so good. They're

good. Did you guys bring anything to contribute? You two fucking lazy assholes on the couch? Shit. Every movie. What am I gonna do? Make them move right now and then come up with that. Did you say this is the end? That was not on my list. I don't know if you said the grim. Anybody think that was one of the top five movies of the year? That was not on my list. I love the city of Grim. Anybody think that was one of the top five movies of the year? Nope. It was entertaining, but not amazing. Yeah, I mean, I went in with low expectations, and I really, really enjoyed it, but I couldn't see, you know,

in good conscience, you know, that was one of the best movies of the year. Yeah, some of the eye-matching series. Like, why could they only drive the machines with their heads? Also, it's like, they explain very early on that they need two drivers because they split the hemisphere of the brain Yeah, and then there's a fucking Chinese robot with three dudes in it It's like how did they split the plane for that like what's the third guy do it? And what's the third guy do? He just has another arm on the one side of the body

This dude's controlling everything and then one dude is just like this arm is me But it didn't make sense when his brother died got ripped out. He had to drive the whole thing back with just him. You think that would be some just manual controls for driving it for when that happens. Maybe it looks like a lever that does this. Well, you don't use your brain. You think they would have built that in. Instead, he was like in that deeply in that Pacific rim.

Yeah, it's robots fighting monsters. Yeah, but at least the universe has to be like physics. Except for the other day I read some of the third guy controlled the third arm. That thing. It had a third arm. Yeah, but what was he in the brain? He's another hemisphere. So there was a red the other day. I read it. Some iron giant. He's Pacific rim fan fiction. Or someone wrote what would happen if iron giant appeared in the Pacific Rim universe. Oh my god. That sounds awesome. There was awesome.

Have you ever seen two atoms fight? It's like two monsters from Pacific Rim going. Oh my god. That sounds awesome. It was awesome. Have you ever seen two Adams fight? It's like two monsters from Pacific Rim going at it Adam and Allison are items over here. Yeah, what do they fight about when they get they get drunk? When they get drunk at parties they fight each other like punching. It's really awesome. They're like wrestle I always try and fight both of them, but neither of them will they will kill you. Yeah, they won't do it speaking of which anybody see beginning of this year Jack the giant slayer was this year, just speaking of Adam and Adam fighting him, we've reminded me of that. And there was also a movie that we talked about a lot of the beginning of the year that I liked a lot, which was a horror film called Mama. Oh yeah.

Ten years. Director with a smold and hecken guy. Smargen Hecken guard playing two-pig. Oh he's in that? Yeah. Oh, I'll definitely watch that then. He's dreaming. There's a, there's a, if you want to, you can look up a five-minute short online

that Mama is based on. I'll try to get the actual name of it, but it's pretty easy to find. I'm sure if you do Google search for Mama Short, let me get a better search tree than that. Mama. So we don't all compromise on the record at the end. So I'm, I'm gonna assume we've wrapped up movies then.

I think that's pretty much, you covered it. Yeah, so I think We'll come up with official nominations next week. This is just to get the process started so we can start narrowing stuff down We try to get down to five. Yes get down to five. There's a movie. I'm looking to be nominated I just saw recently. I saw Lissium Which I think is particularly relevant to our audience because it's ASI 5 movie and be it's directed by Neil Blum camp Who was at one point the dude who was gonna direct the Halo movie and directed District 9 and directed District 9 instead. That being said it was cool to see District 9 and say oh I can see how what he would have done with the Halo movie then you can go watch Elysium and actually see the Halo movie because it's

a ring world where all the rich people live in orbit around earth and Why is it with ring walls is that a real thing that can happen then what do you mean like if you have a ring in space Can you stand on the inside of the ring? The problem with the ring someone explain this to me physics. I don't know how they do it But when a ring spins like that the centrifugial force would pull everyone would Like a salad spinna. What's that like a salad spinner? Yeah, pretty much like that. Yeah, but if you have a sphere, you can't have that same effect because when you're in the city inside a sphere, you're equal distant from every other part of the sphere

from a gravity perspective. So your mass, you would have no gravity because you'd have a draw from everywhere else. So if you're in a ball, you would float in the middle of the ball. You would, but if you, if you shave the edges off, you'll stick to the ball. And you spin it, spinning it's important to. Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, you know, the mass of everything, you know, the mass of the actual, so this isn't just there, this could actually happen if someone built a giant ring wall. It's a lot of material gathered to build something that big. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But there's a lot of crap out there. Look at all the planets and stuff. Just get much of planets and mush them up. Carve's a lot of crap out there. Look at all the planets and stuff. There's a lot of planets in Mushamup.

Carbeth and Middle. Build a ring. Borrow a ring from Saturn, you're going to get to go. But it was, I mean, it was Matt Damon trying to get up from the slums of Earth. He basically looks like he lives in a Brazilian slum. That's like all of Earth looks like that, you know? And he's trying to get up to Elysium for a plot device,

for a reason he's trying to get there. And there's mechanical beings like these security forces and the police of the world are droids. So to fight the droid, he gets suited with an exoskeleton, like this ghetto kind of garage surgery and they put an exoskeleton to his body. Yeah, it's a gross. Yeah, it's pretty, yeah, it's pretty gross. And they add it to him and then he can like go off and fight the security forces. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong.

It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. It's just strong. Yeah.

It's a gross. Yeah. It's a gross. Yeah. It's a gross. Yeah. It's a gross. Yeah. It's pretty gross. And they add it to them. And then he can like go off and fight these security forces.

I'm not, I can watch some pretty nasty movies. Like with, well, not go, but like stuff, you know, people getting blown up and stuff. But whenever it's like procedural stuff, I can't deal with that. Like, medical procedures? Yeah. Yeah. Or what happened in a, it was a minority report where Tom Cruise gets new eyes. Yeah, they take his eyes out. That was grim. Yeah, but the dude from a big Lebowski. And then he ate that rancid sandwich. Are they part in the least our Enders game where they take the chip out? Yeah, it's all like two. And he's got those wires. Who's the dude from big Lebowski? Uh, the one somebody Lebowski, the guy who's like, uh, the Russian, the Nileist. Yeah, the Nileist. Yeah, he's in a ton of stuff. He was his name. Yeah, he was in a Volkswagen campaign. What's that?

What's also in bad boys too? I don't know. Yeah, he was the crazy Russian guy. Yeah, I think that was him What yeah, maybe he played Satan in Constantine yeah, he played Satan in that Yeah, that was a kind of All interpretation of Satan I thought is that guy. I think that was a kind of whole interpretation of Satan, I thought. Is that guy? I think it was him that played it. That was a weird movie. And then they had the who's the really odd British

chick who's not keep Blanchett? Oh, oh, um, Rachel. What's her name? No, no, no, she plays. This is the one who I was thinking is keep Blanchett. She's, uh, she plays the arch angel Michael and the arch angel Michael, doesn't she? And that? Constantly. What else has she been in?

Oh, you would know her. She looks like a didn't someone do a comparison between her and a Conan O'Brien? It's not Rachel. Why? I'm shaking my head. No, I look her up. She's got a really interesting name too. I'll look it up.

Why don't we move on? Okay. So TV shows. TV shows. TV shows of the year. 2013. Breaking bad. I've got a smallest here. Breaking. Wait, you guys go since you said I took all the

twins and tell us what next. She plays Gabriel. Breaking bad. Breaking bad. Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones. Bob's burgers. Bob's burgers. That's a good one. Uh. I guess we'll can dead should be on that. I've never seen. I got some for relevant for the year to talk about agents of shield. Always sunny. Was out for season nine. The fucking shows in its ninth season. House of cards. So here we are.

We're the interesting crossroads this year in 2013, which is should we have a best television show category because House of cards and oranges, the new black and arrested development. Another big show from this year. Those aren't TV shows I mentioned they are on TV in places there No, they're not there. I mean you can definitely show it on your TV For example, they're not they're not cut time-wise for television not at all. Okay, that some stuff is is From TV that they just say is for orange. It's new bags on AMC. Orange is new black is on Netflix. Yeah, yeah, this stuff like Stuff like Derek that says Netflix original. It's not

It's what I'm saying there are shows a council cards. It's not on television anywhere Orange is the new black really word exclusive. No, it was arrested development I mean arrested developments gray area because it was a TV show I think we've got to count that in TV there for now, but I think that that's this is a category that's going to evolve and change for now, but I think that that's this is a category that's going to evolve and change. But it's still TV that's just on demand TV, right? But it's really like what defines something as being television. And like this is a surreal non-movie. I think it's just the format we told them out.

But then we talk about internet videos too, you know? Is it an internet video? This goes exactly what it's talking about movies, why I want complete experiences and movie because in a movie theater, we don't define movies as theatrically released movies we just say movies right and that's how we define them we don't say but for some reason when we get to this category we say television like it has to be on a television there's a lot of people who didn't watch the rest of development on television I didn't watch right they

didn't watch it when it was airing yeah or they watched it on a notebook I'm seeing they didn't watch it on yeah they don't it on television, you know, and to say movie We don't constrain that to a theatrically released movie. We don't we don't make that requirement for some reason this category is now in a weird Grader it's gonna transition in a couple years. There won't be a TV brand It brings up a good point that we do have a separate category for stuff that straight to DVD like we do have subcategories in there For like specific distribution methods. They're saying this should be a separate category? We do? No, people do.

Like for marketing purposes, you have a movie that goes straight to DVD. It's not the actually released. So I mean, this could end up being a way we break out this, like TV shows that are straight to the internet. That cup? Yeah.

So yeah, what did I have? I think the only shows I have on my list that Yaldon cover were Key and Peel and Girls were Key and peel and girls Key and peel is great choice for this year. People's I feel like this was really I thought last season was really good this season I feel like they really stepped it up. I feel like key and peel should win. I just I just don't know what's going to beat breaking bad Okay, I mean I Don't know that I would give the breaking bad to win. I don't know that I would either

Yeah, as much as we liked it. I don't know I don't know that I would give bringing bad to win. I don't know that I would either. Yeah as much as we liked it I don't know although it did have to see the best episode of TV. Yeah, there was no other better episode I think that I've seen which one? Asimandius the third to last episode. The one with the phone and the knife and everything in that episode was great. Yeah, it was it was a good season. That was met and that was great. Yeah, it was a good season. That was a great. It was great. There was a show that I was going to put on there that I watched this year. I caught it in its second season, a BBC show called Sure Lock. And I thought, oh, I'll nominate that because it's just about the start.

It's third season. Until I looked it up, that show is going to start its third season next month. It hasn't been on the air since January of 2012. It hasn't been on the air in two years and it's still a running television show on the BBC. What is it, the sopranos? I know, right? I mean, that's now two years between seasons.

It's amazing. I watched the last episode and I was just really confused as to what happened. People have seen the episode, well, no, I'm talking about. I was confused as hell, because I didn't know anything. It was, have you seen it? It's weird. I hear people like that show Yeah, that's pretty good. Was there anything else on your list that we didn't cover people are people online are saying

They're all saying till the sweeten. I'm just not getting caught up on that on this brand I'm gonna tell them you're at your wise people saying Dexter cuz that ended this year and we should also talk about What was the one here? here sorry oh parks and recreation not normal spend office ended this year yeah I mean that's that was kind of this year office was this year yeah do they still make big bang theory yes they do make the picture that I mean everyone knows that this is just the worst thing I've ever made right buzzing I'm gonna I joked with Esther that I want to buy a whole bunch of

shirts to start wearing them in an ironic fashion to like a friend so we go to I know every time we go to a network meeting out in Hollywood like we meet with a television network They big bang theory gets like 40 million viewers a week. It's the number one show in America And people will always say to us like network exactly. Oh you guys make internet shows because so you must really love the big bang theory It's like what fucking no Oh, you guys make internet shows because so you must really love the big bang three. It's like, what the fuck? No, Honestly, if a girl admit to me that she liked big bang theory, she's less attractive to me. I'm not even kidding. You did a deal breaker though.

It would be a big day. The bar would drop. If you put a cardboard tube on then, you'd be rattling around there. It would not be. It would not be the full. You would not hook out of that cardboard tube. Have you ever seen the videos of where they take that show and remove the live track? I just never two and a half And it's worth it's the way and tying So I imagine if everything was shot that way it's all this awkward silence in between everything

Which by the way is what it's like to shoot those shows Nothing you would in front of a live audience usually some of them do but some know they just the point where they fuck it Also, I'm sure like how do you think the audience is really cracking up like that every time I mean they're told to play it up I know people who've been to filmings of shows and they say like if something's not that funny It's really funny, but they sweeten everything like live comedy performances as comedy specials. They record They completely jump up the laughter in those two like if you go to one of those most comedians are like Well, they like Mike the audience right? Well, they get well. They also add

Okay, they sweeten it. Yeah, as my headburn says, which means add sugar tea. I saw the, I saw the, the taping of the, Kumail Nanjiani comedy special that was filmed here in Austin. It was filmed last November. I think it didn't come out to like June of this year. Uh-huh. Yeah, and it definitely, that's the case.

Now people were laughing, but then you watch a special, people were laughing way louder. You can see Becca in that special. You know, that's the thing is they're cut to the audience and the audience is like this Like they're never really other people around on camera. All right, I actually had a weird thing the year before I moved here I saw Jimmy car p2k and Steve Merch and live there with English comedians and every single performance I saw was the DVD Really? Yeah, just by total Fluke. That's pretty crazy. Are you on any of them? I'm on the Peter K1.

He's a really funny UK comedian. He came out and grabbed one of the cameras. It's Wembley Arena, so it's huge. It's like maybe like 9,000 people in there or something. And he just pulled out the camera. He's like, all right, let's see what we've got today. And he just zoomed in with the camera in, right on my face. Really?

And that's on the DVD. Yeah, it's me and my brother. We're like like I can't wait to see all the screenshots of this Which which head of your brother was Video with his brother where his brother was describing What it would be like if you stuck your own head up your own butt so far that your head then comes out your mouth No, your second head comes out of your head comes out of your original head. That's George, right? Yeah, code name George.

Not Israel name, but you also don't call your sister by her real name or your cat. No, I keep all my family's true identity a secret. We've got Lloyd P and George. P. Not their names. All right here. Let me read this thing before we move on to. One last one I want to talk about though before is a new series just came out with Carl Urban

called Almost Human. Oh, I watched three episodes of it this week just so I could talk about it. Any good? It's on my DVR. I get something I'm really excited about. I really want to watch it. I just haven't had time. I haven't gotten around to it.

it's the first thing you say in the video. So first tell us what you're on about. And he goes, right, well, first the original head and you lose it right then. What do you mean the original head? It's because I'd had a five minute conversation just before it's under the camera. You totally tell that.

Okay. I said brain in the clip of, did you do a pun? This is the clip, Hopefully he's getting ready of this is Gavin in the Peter K The camera And so you can see Gavin the top right here with his brother code named George areas up there on the top right That's it that's the only thing but is literally we would he came out and we're like this bloody p a K in real life And then he pulled the camera out. He's like let's see who's gonna be and I look to my brother I was like imagine if he pointed that right ass and he literally just went

And we came just like on the giant screen. I was like imagine if he pointed that right ass and he literally just went whoop and we came just like On the giant screen. I was like I can't believe that happened. It was attracted by the gravity Are we done so almost human I would say you should definitely watch it. It's like to me. It just feels like You know with a lot of big budget TV shows They they try to make it as palatable possible special side-by-shows because god damn side-by-shows get canceled faster than anything else that's why i had it yeah you gotta cut it there's no way to hide in the show that i mean there's

no way but it kind of feels like a mixture of like minority report and uh... uh... what was the little smith a i not a i what was a robot yeah the trailer smake we think of the panorcage short Automata that short series they did the two police officers with one's the robot and the other one's like the grizzled detective It's like it's like a one-off comic they did okay, I've done in the past it's like the the daughters of the whatever would

Shit basically the premise is that Carl urban is a human cop in in the future it's like the year 2048 I think and crime has gotten the point where she's out of control and so they pair each human with an Android partner and the Android partners like their combat lead and like lead the way you know if they're gonna bust into a door the android just takes the lead and just like wreck shop and the human comes in after. And it's basically the premise and, you know, as you could probably figure Crow Urban has an incident or in the pilot where he doesn't like the Android's and he's, you know, so they pair him up with a different kind of partner and it's, you know, it's, I want to like it more than I do and I really want to like it a lot because I like

sci-fi TV shows and I like Carl Erdogan. I like Carl Erdogan. I like Carl Erdogan a lot. I like Carl Erdogan. I don't think I remember seeing him anything before the first Star Trek movie. That yeah, you did. You wouldn't even recognize the guy. It reminds me of the parody show they were making in friends called Mac and Cheese. Oh, yeah.

Where Joey was a cop, and his partner was a robot. And it was like when I was like, hello, how are you? And like on wheels. Did they ever show any of Mac and Cheese on friends? They did friends is weird friends has over time become a much better show like It was just kind of like a run of the mill It was one of the most popular shows in America if not the most popular and It was just kind of like okay. It was like an okay comedy But like over time it's become people have realized it was actually really well written

Do you think big bang is gonna be like that? No, I don't I don't or two and a half men I don realized it was actually really well written. Do you think big bang is going to be? No, I don't. I don't or two and a half men. You don't think the friends was well written? I like it a lot when it first started. It was so many like such clever jokes. There were very clever jokes in that. It was still is my favorite joke all day. Yeah.

It is funny though that in a cast of six people there were like a couple people that were just like unbelievably huge standouts over the other people like Chandler Bing was such a great character and so well performed. I would bet all my money as well that since friends ended in 2000 was like 10 years ago 2004. It's been on TV every single day since then yeah on some channel I believe it yeah that and the fucking Simpsons. I still got I still got a point out that it's amazing It's Seinfeld never aired in the 2000s. I show this been off the air for 15 years. Yeah, it went I remember 98 I've been in the air for 15 years. I remember 1998. I think it was I want to say May of 98. I just moved to Austin a few months before that.

Was that plinky plunky guitar sound in anything else? I remember seeing a behind the scenes thing with that guy. I was like, yeah, I custom write these chords for scenes. I see what we're going to do. I'm like a little diss. He's really proud of the setup he has. I really like very faintly. I'm like, I'm like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like's like, yeah, you know, I custom write these chords for scenes like I see what we're gonna do And I'm like a little this like he's really good proud of the setup. He had I really like like very famous sounds and being able to see

The guy who came over the line. Yeah, but what's your documentary about Doctor Who and the very iconic sound of the TARDIS He was like, yeah, I was just saying we all know in love what you don't know the sound of the TARDIS absolutely It's like Sounds kind of like that. good impression not very good impression But he was like yeah, I was just sat here and I got my house key and just scraped it up and down the string under the piano And I was like that totally makes sense. I know where else that sound is the From that what prices right when you get something wrong. I've never seen that That's more like a trombone.

So this is the new brand I'll send this to you, but this is the new trailer for the Disney app for the new movie they have frozen and they use the gauntlet thing. I was going to say, yeah, I thought you were watching episode of the gauntlet. And it's so disconcerting to see it. We got it here. If you want to mute their play it on the... I'll mute it. Yeah. I'm sure the music's okay for us.

So let's step right in today. Yeah, like you started watching that over there. I couldn't see your screen. I totally thought you were watching the gauntlet. It's so weird to see that music associated with anything else. We did. I hope you played.

Did you play the music? Yeah, okay, good. We can't hear that. Yeah. So speaking of the gauntlet, we do not nominate our own videos for internet video of the year because we want to be objective about it. So the gauntlet is out of the running. What we realistic about it.

We realistically don't want to win every year. It would be tough. It would be unfair. Other people would stop making content. And then what would we have to laugh at if we're. And then we would take all the blame. Right. So for you, the listener in the viewer, we don't nominate our own shows. We take this. They can do it amongst themselves. They

can do it amongst themselves if they wish. But we have hopefully a definitive list of funny and insightful to be fun. Just have to be funny. I have someone here that are not fun. Can I say one that I want to vote for what's that the corridor digital portal gun video? It's good. I like it. They also had me grabbing on video. That's what I meant. Yep. Yeah, grab it They had the one I think one of my favorite videos they put out this year was the googly I won Which was like silly and stupid where it's like The good everybody the TV and there's fucked up and he makes everyone have Google guys. I still want about FOTS.

How was that? I'm so cool. That was a weird departure for those guys. Like, they had to put out a video in like three months and then they put that one out. And even at the end, they were like, sorry, everybody. We're making a movie.

Is that FOTS? Is that like propelling yourself with your FOTS? Oh my God, Jesus. Okay, internet videos. I've got on my list Same Z's and this will all be in the link dump and you can check it out those guys who made same Z's mr. Iron Potato They have not put out another video since that Well, you can find come out when you're on top Their first video they put out is one of my favorite videos I've ever seen online. It's really fucking funny

Yeah, I also have the the car chase outside the guys house Where he's like filming the TV and there's a car chase and then he has like 20,000 views on it That's come it's that's a reapploved. That's not the original this is this is same as we see here That is a funny video. I do remember that yeah This is where the guy like turns the camera to the window and then she's a car chase This is when you sent me the other day, the Nigerian cook who survives the shipwreck. That was fucking crazy.

A ship sinks sink. Cap sizes. You would tell him about this. It's when you tell him. I like him people got it. Well, hold on, let him describe it for everyone else. The ship sinks, the rescue team goes in their school, but we have a picture of here.

They find a dude, he was in the air pocket in the ship for three days. Three days. A hundred or 30 meters underwater. He looks cold. He looks, yeah, that you would just be after I couldn't imagine that. I'm like pitch black and everything. You'd be going crazy. I didn't think about that either. Oh my god. You freaked me out. Why would you do that? Dot cold and wet. That would be awful. Yeah. You should like, do you know the ship is underwater? Like, did he, do you think you would try to like kill yourself?

It's like you totally try to orange monkey eagle at that point No, no water. So did he have to he couldn't see where he was did he have to like swim away Take a dump and then swim back. I'm gonna be floating around the desert At least I think you have a lot of other problems ahead of that what you'd rather float around in dumps I'd rather be dead Gavin he would even pee in the shower They put his way Gavin Gavin you're on a major tanker inside the ship in it It tips over and fucking sinks and where you are in the middle of the ship fills with water You don't need to poo again for like a year. You're done by that

I'm I Plenty when it was going on. Plenty. I mean, that guy's, that's an amazing story. I couldn't imagine the horror that that guy went through. I hope he's okay. I can't imagine.

Yeah, I read a follow up that he, you know, he was fine. They reunited in with his family. Was he hallucinating at any point? He really has some like stress dreams. How do you sleep? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know like leaning up against something.

He must have started saying stuff. I just, I've hallucinated I don't know like leaning up against something. He must have started saying stuff. I just I've hallucinate and I've just been awake for a day. Now, what you have a brain thing. Yeah. So I think they've talked to you like five years from now. It's like, um, how are you? It's like, I'm good. Everything's good. You know, I'm just feel fortunate. Glad to be back to life. Anyway, side effects. Well, I haven't been near water. I haven't taken a shower in five years because I would just be like, I wouldn't want to go near water Ever again after that experience

In any form whatsoever. How about ice? Never. I wouldn't drink water. I don't think I would find a way to like have it Intermediately injected into me. It would only have like slushies. They did inject into your back so you couldn't see it good and fuck That's specifically that video's what made me think that it doesn't have to be funny necessarily. Yeah Yeah, yeah, you sent me that and I just saw like the title is like I am already enthralled I got a watch this entire thing. Oh, it also it's the communication of the scuba team to the base Yeah, like we found a guy here like it the way it happens is like you see from the scuba divers perspective And you see just like a hand floating in front of his face He's like, oh

The controls like what oh you found one okay? Just move him out of the way and then the hand grabs his hand like grabs the his face, he's like, ugh, the controls like, what, oh, you found one. Okay, just move him out of the way. And then the hand grabs his hand, like grabs the diver, he's like, he's alive, he's alive, like they just start screaming like crazy. And like the CEO is like, they're super calm. I guess they can see his, and the CEO's like, calm him down, calm him down, tell him it's gonna be okay.

Like, you know, this guy, he's gonna be fine. Knock him out. And then when he's facing the video, he would be like, all of a sudden, if they come popping up out of the water with lights, that would be a scary experience too, because there's no light for two days or three days. Well, you gotta probably see that light

through the water coming and getting brighter slowly and you're like, what the fuck is that? You know, I would think in a lot of ways, it would be like, it's probably really cold because you're 30 meters down. But other than that, it would be like, if it's probably really cold, because it's 30 meters down. But other than that, it would be like that sensory deprivation tank, because they float you in water

in high salinity salt water, and then there's no sounds, or no, it's the purpose of that. Site, it's because when you're deprive yourself of every kind of sense, or any kind of sensory input, your brain just starts to like hallucinate and generate things. I don't like, ugh. Yeah. It must must have sucked going asleep and waking up every so often

I'm figuring out that it wasn't a dream over and over again. Yeah, I'm still here. That sucks really bad Yeah, I had the most mundane freaky dream the other day It's like I dreamt like I was laying in bed, right and my eyes were closed and I thought I've been my alarm spot to go off I'm gonna have to wake up any minute now I wonder what time it is and I opened my eyes and I was dreaming that I was laying in bed with my eyes closed I realized I'm open my eyes and I was asleep thinking that I was like holy shit I keep having dreams it's annoying me I keep having dreams where I'm not the main character. Like you're watching something like...

I'll be in the dream for a bit and then all of a sudden I'll just be like a camera filming other people. It'll be like I'm watching a movie dream but I'm not even in it, it's like what's the point. I think it's just taking from me everyday life of having like film stuff. Yeah, it was literally like stuff is happening to other people and it would cut to just different angles of stuff. It's when you say that the other last night I had a dream that I was getting a sneak peak

at the new season of Game of Thrones and the visual effects weren't done. Oh, right. And then like it was that thing where I went from me watching it to then being like a camera person watching Jon Snow and watching all this stuff happen to him. And then you were Jon Snow, were you? And then I was Jon Snow. It was really weird to have any video games where you can switch death cameras. Yeah. Yeah, it's just just really weird to have any video games where you can switch death cam. Yeah, it's just really weird feeling

I'm not even I'm not even getting the dream about me As well just watch a movie there's no escape. I forget dreams so fast so so fast It'll be five minutes after I wake up and it's gone. It'll be less than maybe like 20 seconds It's interesting if you keep you know a piece of paper like a little journal by the side running down But the problem is and I've never been to the floor I like I was frantically like looking for paper trying to write stuff Yeah, the problem I've encountered with that is you need to make sure you're verbose and you're very thorough with your description Otherwise you write things like I'm totally gonna remember some totally remembers and it makes no sense later

I find that I damaged the memory what when I try and remember it like I try and remember stuff and I start over writing stuff And I'm like what was that bit and then I lose the rest like yeah, and remember it. Like I try and remember stuff and I start over writing stuff. And I'm like, what was that bit? And then I lose the rest of it. I was like, I've lost the whole thing. Just got to be like a brain dump, like straight out your hand. It's a paper. When a console crashes.

And they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, in our lifetime, I would love the technology to be able to record dreams. That would be great. And I don't know how they would do that, but they do things every day that I don't understand

how the fuck they do. There was that scary story. I don't know what's, it ended up being true, right? Where some researchers had found a way to get memory and prints off of a cat. Yeah, they could literally see, like they could do a brain scan on the cat,

and then they could interpret what the cat was seeing. Yeah, I cool bullshit. I just get about show you the. Yeah, and then it's like it's it's not clear at all. It's fuzzy as shit. It's really fucked up. We're talking about actual image. Yeah, they made an image. They're like, well, that's what the cat was looking at. And if you compare it to the actual image, like the photo taken from the cat thing, you're like, oh, yeah, that is it.

It's like compression in the brain then can the can a brain take it? It looks compress it to like a bit of electricity That's what it is anyway. I don't know. That's made any sense. Are you let's talk about Joe the cat? What about you and his camera? Oh, yeah, I have a camera for Joe the cat. It's like a little GoPro for your cat. Yeah, I have a little collar Joe camera, so I have I I'm filming an RT life with Joe. I imagine a lot of footage of cat food and a lot of footage of his own knob.

Watch, I let him go outside and then he roams the neighborhood because I was curious. He disappeared. It's been really cold and oscillately. He disappeared for like two days when it was 30 degrees or freezing temperatures. And I was curious where the fuck he goes. So now I want to track where he goes.

So if I need to find him, I can go to where he usually is hanging out. So it tracks his location too. No, no, I look for a GPS recording collar. I don't want to like real-time GPS, this is where my cat is right now. I want to see where he roams in a day. That was more interesting to me. So I couldn't find anything that does that. I'm going to use some epic fights.

Yeah. He's a magic cat. I'm going to use an FPS game. You can see his cat claws. I used to own this cat years ago that I got from an animal shelter called Shamus. That cat was, yeah. That cat was fucking evil. He was, he would fight anything. But he, he would actively seek out and fight raccoons. and one time I remember he was on Jeff's roof I was watching him. He was on the roof of Jeff's house a car was driving down the street He jumped off the fucking roof and started chasing the car That cat would fight anything

Is it like a cat that's pretty close to a dog like it plays fetch? No, it did not do it. It just killed. It did not play. It just shredded. Oh, that's a cat brain. Yeah, it's the way it done. But Brandon, before we put that, I'm going to 30, go to 30 seconds in and then they'll have some images of the cat. So I put this in the video, the cat brain where they're pulling images up on a computer based on scanning the cat's brain effect. Oh, this guy. He doesn't look unhappy. That's not real. Move guy. But the monitor in the back takes pixelated images and rebuilds with the Cats.

Wait, what is actually connecting? Is this head open? No, I don't believe it. No, it's just a, it's just a video from the Cats brain. I want someone to freeze frame that picture of the cat between that machine and just put a caption that says, kill me. So they have input of output.

This is what the cat is seeing. And then this is like they're pulling up highly pixelated, or what everyone would call images is what the cat is seeing and then this is like they're they're pulling up Highly pixelated or what everyone call images of what the cat is seeing like so we need to just change the compression things Basically they're at the point now where they can get you can basically see what they're seeing I just like when we started making red versus blue when every compression was bad Everything was tiny and really pixelated. This is insane. You're just gonna refine it now I don't believe this is real. I know this is from the late 90s. Is this real? Yeah. So when they have that thing on the cat's head. Go ahead. How is it connected to the cat? I don't think it is. I don't think it's like I think it's

holding the cat in place so they can scan it. What do we scan it? Like what is going in the cat's brain? Like do you see like a get a MRI in your head or a cat scan? He's so happy. He is gone. Cat scan. Kill Bernie Burns. Pulling it back in. Internet video of the year. Obviously that doesn't qualify because that's an old video.

I've seen that one before. We stopped off an Igerian cook survivorship wreck. I don't know if you've seen this one where the man sees his wife for the first time again. So good. No, I guess like you're my wife. Yeah, this guy had like a surgery and he's coming out of the anesthesia and his wife sitting next to him giving him a cracker. He's like, what are you, I candy? Did the doctor send you here? She's like, no. He's like, who are you? God. You're so hot. You're like the most beautiful woman in the world She's like and she's like we're married. I'm your wife's like I know you have we kissed

It's just like super out of it. Yeah, so I think that's one of the best What's that yeah? Confidence booster. What's that? Talk about a common spoocer. Yeah, good kidding Bad dad vine compilation. Yeah, gotta have that on there. Of course wrecking ball chat roulette version Also, they did a wrecking boy. Yeah, which He did the coming maybe yep I got to say like I I recognize that guy's funny but it's different to mean someone having someone

being funny and just having a stick is the difference there is whether or not you like it and I just I don't identify with that guy's humor. He's a guy who does like a bunch of cross-dressing videos on chat roulette is what it was. That's his medium right? That's a little retire. The thing is I don't understand how he hung that ball from the ceiling and his living room. And the candy people did. We both had that question when you show me this video. I don't care how anything else he did. What was the one he did was call me maybe was the last one? Yeah. He was in like the bikini. Yeah. He gets a lot of use people like his stuff.

You must really like it. It's not my thing. Cross dressing. It's like right up like mighty pythole. That's kind of hot woman videos. I just sing people laugh and smile and stuff Yeah, it's been which TV shows there's a show you want to nominate that you didn't you want to nominate hello ladies Hello ladies, you do want to remind them you want to nominate. I've been going to watch that so I should watch it I mean it's cringy as hell you if you like cringy It's hard to watch cringe. I like it when it's hard very hard What's that? With the worst office episode for cringe. What's that British show with the ladies talking the ladies talking? I like it but it's hard very hot what's that with the worst office episode for cringe what's that British show with the ladies talking the ladies talking like the view

That's really funny name loose women loose women. I nominated loose women for that title. I like loose women who's women in the UK other videos I have Amazon Prime Air Which is not a funny video, but it's definitely a what the fuck am I looking at video yeah what does the fox say which I forgot about in my initial round of videos I actually read that down after you sent that list yeah a huge video and also bad motherfucker the official music video which I think you and I had shared earlier this year you forgot something you forgot something or

two what what I forget you forgot I had shared earlier this year. You forgot something. You forgot something. Or two things. What I forget. You forgot Bound 2. Bound 2. Absolutely. I have Bound 2. And the parody of Bound 2. The parody is really good but Bound 2 itself is. The video itself is amazing. It's a Kanye West video with Kim Kardashian. I don't think I put, it might make the list of nominees. I don't think I would vote for it. What'd you say? Bam! Other any videos I missed on the list that you guys have missed? Yes, one of my favorites of the year, which I'm gonna let Brandon play it. Brandon, you can send the video that I sent you. Oh, I don't know, he's on bound right now. Taylor Swift as sung by the goat.

That's right. I absolutely, I can watch that video, it's only a 20 second video, I can watch it a thousand times. It makes me laugh every single What is the issue you two rewind come out because this is very relevant to that video 11th or 12. Yeah, so sometimes later this week. Yes And there's the Taylor Swift goat video Ridiculous aspect ratio of that music video too. Oh my god I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. with an ibex, an ibex, and you don't have to look at it, Brandon, tell people online to do it. And then the other one was usher, when they replaced usher with that goat that sounded like a person. That one just made me lag. Did you see that? And then you talk about an ibex, it makes me think of that other video where the ibex scratches its own ass with its horns. Oh, that looks, that looks like the best thing ever. Is it the original head? It's like a horn. It's the original head. With this original horns.

Reach you back to his original ass. Yes. He has horns that go all the way back, like way back, like this. And then he hooks his head back. And it's like his horns are the perfect length to just hook back and scratch his own buttons. It's just your scratch and like that. I wonder how that, do they just design to do that?

Or one day was his horn long enough that he did this. And I was like, oh, I hit it. That actually worked. So I know I I'm gonna be shut down right away but have you considered doing a vine of the year shut up well you did a bad dad on there yeah bad dad compilation if that's a compilation of vines if I know we can't have them if you could nominate one of our videos your favorite video of the year for you what would it be? gosh i don't know um i don't think about that for a little bit yeah it'd be tough to nominate we get a lot of videos it'd be tough i think it'd be that let's play rainbow six where you had your face on it on it the soldier was fucking amazing that i've never lost so hard one of those other moments where I just pressed the wrong button

It's hard to get away from it. I would probably vote for was surgeon simulator this year But there's always funny stuff though that takes place Well, surgeon simulator this year. Yeah, I don't know if it was I'd wait for that That's probably the most fun I've had making it was here. Yes, there the there was a recent let's play where You wait, you did something really funny like you lean back too far and then fell over and the Michael was going what was wrong with you guys lean back and then you headbutt Michael right and I was always immediately and it was so funny it was just so funny I was describing what I just did in the headbutt and while also farm simulator because he's yelling at you while you hit you head're in the face and he does get any matter. I was like he's already the top

I'm secretly just trying to break the auto camera every week today's one was insane. We were rattling Lads action news today. Lads action news whenever Jackson's town. We do lads action news So next week. Oh no, he's back next to probably back next week There's just so many videos we put on them. I got pick one. Yeah It probably unbiased to probably be an animated venture Although I really like immersion too. That was this year immersion was good Yeah, yeah, that was it. It's funny. I can always remember When Game of Thrones started this year because we were in Atlanta filming immersion

It's true. It was the end of it was the end of March That was right after packs or right before packs. It was after, I believe. And that ordeal that we had at first. Fucking driving from New York to Boston. Fucking with all the kids in the back. I always laughed really hard every time we made vines, too.

I just needed to laugh uncontrollably. Which we got to do. We got to try to get you guys together at the same place, same time. Where are we right now? Let's go. Let's go. Want to for some more Friday? I'm out of town You're also out of town. No I'm back. I'm back Friday. I'm back Friday. Yeah How about Monday or Tuesday of next week that works for me is work for you

All right, well discusses off. Let me check my schedule. I'm going to England You are well, that's maybe the next weekend. That's for Christmas. What is that? Is Christmas soon? It's not like this weekend It's the one okay. I leave on the 20th. I like us all done right bar. Oh, yeah, Hanukkah finished on the 5th of December It's fast. Wait. Have you ever seen where we're being closer to Christmas? One makes it shift with the it goes by the Hebrew calendar Okay, which Gus explained last week because you The Hebrew calendar is lunar based so most months most months have either 29 or 30 days I see so it falls further and further back because the Hebrew calendar is lunar-based, so most months, most months have either 29 or 30 days.

I see. So it falls further and further back. Yeah. Over time, so it eventually will be in like the summer? Every now and then they have a calendar correction to try to make it sync up with the solar calendar. It's not when they add a leap second. It seems racist to say correction. So if they did not have a correction, the two Thanksgiving and Hanukkah would not line up again until like the year 79,880. Yep. See you then. Let's make a date. Thanks, Givaka. So there were some other things I want to talk about this year. We'll come up with official nominations for our categories next week.

These are just a starting point for talking. There's some other stories that came out that I want to talk about today. our categories next week. This is just a starting point for talking. There's some other stories that came out that I want to talk about today. Specifically, there were two stories out of China, which has become like a bed for weird things happening. The first was, obviously, they've been having huge smog problems.

I don't know if you ever see the pictures on Reddit. Yeah, right. Where people post photos like out of their high rises and it's just like smog everywhere in Shanghai. It's really bad. I mean, it's like well above any type of safety level that has been set for air quality standards. And a national newspaper in China ran a story talking about how the smog is beneficial because it deters anyone trying to invade Chinese cities because it'll disrupt their missile guidance systems and their troop movements because they won't be able to see defense mechanisms.

It's like that. It's like, you can't invade us because we're already dead. Pretty much. You see the picture on Reddit of the guy's breathing mask? Yeah, I would say. After one day of being outside, it was just black. Yeah, I guess nobody bombs a graveyard. I mean, another crazy story I saw that came out from China today was that a

38-year-old man was out shopping with his girlfriend They had been shopping for five hours at a mall. Yeah, and He wanted to go home. She wanted to keep shopping When he said that they should stop she started berating him telling him he was a cheap skate and that he was ruining Christmas So he threw all of his bags down and jumped off the seventh story of them all on to the floor There's getting wheeled out and And do you die? Yeah, he died. Oh my god. Oh, I did. I mean, there's there's probably so much more to that story that we don't know

Oh, probably I mean wait, I mean, here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the here's the that's alive now part of that one child. Yeah, because I remember when I was a kid. So I would assume like anybody from like 10 to 50 grew up under that policy. I would assume so, yeah. And I know they are easing it up a little bit. But it's what what what that did I think over time was it skewed towards male births is that the Chinese favored male births. And so I think we're gonna see a skewing here, so like Barber saying there's more to it.

It's like the pressure on Chinese males must be enormously high to make their girlfriend happy or to make their wife happy. It started in 79, by the way. It started in 79. So look, what are the demographics of China? I wanna say, I'm going off top of my head. I'm trying to look up the actual statistic here.

I wanna say there's four million more men than women in China. Damn, I should move to China. That's 4 million dudes that will just statistically can't get a wife. So it doesn't have to happen. If this, if this chart I'm looking at is correct, it's, uh, Which over a billion people, is that the biggest? 1.2 to 1 ratio. 1.2 to 1. It's uh, over a billion people's that one point two to one one point two to one So basically it says 20% of all the men

can't Don't can't get away. Yeah, but one in ten of those is gay anyway one in ten is gay But then one in ten the women is gay, too Right, you still lose it. Yeah, but then they can do each other Who can do each other Gavin the people who are involved? The way okay So wanting to be more gay so the people who aren't involved can do each other Gavin the people who are involved the way okay so what do you think

so the people who aren't involved can do each other well it brings the number down isn't it yeah but you have to see that happens on both sides so it that if it happens proportionally across both sexes and it would drop so twenty percent of the mail have no no chance of finding a way so i'm nine million more nine million women nine million more thank you brand it for I mean with the booming economy to

Obviously, there's a higher chance that you know man could draw and women from other country and get made there But that's that's a significant population. That's like the entire population of Houston more. Yeah, that couldn't be married That's like a that's a weird thing to take away from somebody. It's an enormous amount of pressure Yeah, and it's skews things definitely more towards towards women I mean 9 million people across a billion doesn't seem like a lot But it is at the end of the day. It is 9 million people It must be a lot of pressure to just like have a good job and be very attractive as a man in China

It definitely skews the power oddly skews the power more towards the women. Yeah, those kinds of relationships I mean they can make you go shopping for five hours. Girl, power. Yeah, and she's telling you're not like, who knows what she's saying, you know, she's like, oh, you know, she can be comparing him to other guys too. Like, he would buy me shoes if I was with him that that that that that makes for more effective evolution. Makes for more effective.

Like, having a women in the sea, yeah, because in the animal kingdom, the females only shag like the best, biggest and strongest male, right? And then all the males have to compete and perform and... Well, I think that also kind of assumes that the... I mean, all genetics is skewed towards the male. I mean, you know, it helps refine one side of the genetic equation, but not the other. I mean, if the women were all dying off because they were competing at birth, third and

childhood, fighting to the death, and that's why there's less women. Then yeah, like, the natural selection. Yeah. I think you say, is, are the best male specimens being selected as a result of this? Yeah, like women aren't having to settle for just nothing for us. Yeah, but I don't know where we are in human evolution. Are there guys getting better looking at us? We kind of exist outside of natural evolution.

The reasons why a woman would pick a man in human society are not necessarily the same ones as like evolutionary benefits. Right. Like she would necessarily pick a guy who can kill all the other guys. She might pick a guy who's got the biggest house. You know, who's not necessarily the best in evolution. If it's from an animal point of you, like a woman could marry the dude with the biggest forehead or something. I like headbutt and stuff. Headbutt and it's for cracking open welders. Yeah so we're far enough away from animals. You know every time we talk about evolution I always say these questions pop up like there's some animals that can see ultraviolet and all that right. Why wouldn't

if you could develop where you could see an ultraviolet and see across a bigger spectrum, or like animals can hear across a broader spectrum, why wouldn't humans just have that too? Like, why wouldn't they just... We did, it was just a filter on your eye. You can get it removed and then see ultraviolet. Right, right.

But why wouldn't the ones who don't have that filter? Why wouldn't that be a benefit to us? So why wouldn't having a higher range of hearing just be a benefit, and we would just end up with that. What's the efficiency of having a more limited hearing range? That's interesting. But I mean, we figure that it was you evolved with that range for a reason.

Right. So we just don't know what that reason is. Yeah. It's a sensory overload, wouldn't it? If you could see ultraviolet as well. It'd be too much. You don't need it. It's like when bloody Superman.

You only see like stars X ran through everything. It's like, oh, it's too much going on. I can see to everyone's faces. Was that Superman said was that superman 13? I think no, no, it was Manis steel. Oh, okay. Manis, the sun starts like looking through everyone. He's like, and then when General Zod lands on Earth, because he's on Earth, he starts

seeing it too. And he's just like, by the way, I gotta say not to spoil anything, you Manis steel. They're logic in that fucking movie It's so stupid like what why would the Kryptonians Want to terraform earth and make it like Krypton and when they found a planet where they're all fucking super beings And it's like oh, we'd be uncomfortable for a few years It's like so be uncomfortable for a few years and then you end up where you can fly that based on very human like Land web gravity was like normal and stuff if all of a sudden everyone can fly they they wouldn't have the technology to deal with that

Would they but also if you could code just with another species where you're the one that can fucking fly and Jump through buildings and everything else Why would you give that up also was the plot terraforming wasn't that the Kevin Spacey one also likes Luther wanted to make more land Oh, no, no, it's tear if it's terraforming earth to be like krypton Oh, they put one ship at one end of the planet one or the other and they start like changing the mass of the planet and Injecting another atmosphere around the man of steel is do I always complain that superhero movie Superman movies Always want to do his origin story which they did in this movie and they did it pretty well the weird thing about man of steel is it's an alien movie which they did in this movie and they did it pretty well. The weird thing about Man of Steel is it's an alien movie.

They treat Superman like he's an alien. I mean they literally do that. They literally do that. Like the people in the movie approach him as though he's an alien being. And they're worried about him if infecting other humans with some sort of weird alien parasite. And it's like, I've been here 33 years. I'm not infected anyone.

Yeah, it's totally the whole thing is totally like from the perspective of the people in the movie, it's not a superhero battle, it's aliens. Also, that are attackers. And no point is he Superman, in a traditional sense, of like saving the day, rescuing people from just everyday things. Nope, he doesn't do that once.

When he's a kid, he kind of does. He saves the bus. Well, he does that thing. Yeah, he does the thing where he saves people during the fight. Yeah. And it's a distraction that they see that Yeah, he's never like in Metropolis just going day to day

No, but traveling nothing like he would not be metropolis his favorite son He shows up in metropolis to basically break down every skyscraper. I was thinking this probably isn't really a spoiler But they trash the place we've already said that I was thinking at the end of the movie He should probably have apologized to someone on earth about all the damage and after the fight is over he swaps down a UAV and the guy goes wow that was like $18 million worth of equipment. So instead of saying sorry for the damage he just damages one more thing and there's also a part of the bit of a brick where he's smashing up the whole place. Den Zod realizes that he can fly too.

They go up to space and start smashing up a satellite. Like the earth was damaged enough. Let's break some stuff that's in orbit as well. Does that really realize he can fly? Yeah, because he doesn't think he's a call like crawling up ability. Well, the thing is everyone from Krypton is wearing armor that you can't fly over the armor on. The whole point of Superman's suit is that it's the undergarment for the armor. That's the only reason that thing is there

Yeah, and when he takes for the armor off he's light enough to find so numb to the destruction I did if you want a cook job get a job as a set designer for the next man It's the old movie because it's like we need you to build 8,000 sets and like well, what are you gonna use it for? That sounds great. Don't worry about it because they're just gonna take all your work and fucking demolish it for that sounds great don't worry about it because they're just going to take all your work and fucking demolish it. They demolish every kind of set you could imagine from everything from a country diner to a skyscraper office every single set exist. Oh now I see it. They smash it. That makes it makes it sound really cool. At one point in one point this big dude throws Superman through a supermarket then he goes through the back of the supermarket through a fucking train

goes through the train ends up in a bank and goes into the vault that's one then he goes through the back of the supermarket, through a fucking train, goes through the train, ends up in a bank and goes into the vault. That's one shot he goes through like three different sets. And then a train gets thrown at him. It's just for the destructive mayhem, it's worth watching. I will watch that. They should have marketed it that way. Yeah, this is just really visually impressive stuff. Like when he realizes he can fly as well. Superman just starts punching him through the air and flying up to him and punching him again. There's like three punches where it's like just flying and punching. There's a lot of

stuff to that movie they get spot on. They also get like there's like little mechanics of him trying to fly during a fight and then being stopped and then they also handle super speed better than I've ever seen it handled in any other kind of format like there's a scene where one of the Kryptonians She's like the the female it's kind of like Superman to the original one. Mm-hmm. It's odd in his underlings But they're they're really understated and the female underling she gets enough fight with some humans And she's like zipping between them punching them. It's scary as fuck. Yeah, cuz you wouldn't be able to do what god damn And I like that they didn't do the smallville thing where they slow everyone else down and he's moving at normal speed yeah they just show

them moving faster than normal humans at normal speeds yeah oh Jesus god so you enjoyed it you enjoyed Manacil I really like it too I I was I was disappointed that I didn't see it see it sooner it's very it's for superman movies very bizarre I always get done tongue because I say superman's my favorite super But he's apparently like a crappy super I like him. I like that story. Yeah, what do people usually say? He's just like wimpy and he isn't kill anyone and stuff. It's like the kill-bill thing where he's uh He's a commentary on on human civilization making fun of us. Oh

Mm-hmm. That's a little deep All right, well, we're at time. We gotta wrap this thing up. Yeah, one more thing the UK store just opened. That's a little deep. All right, well, we're at time. We've got to wrap this thing up. I have one more thing. Yeah, one more thing. The UK store just opened. That's a bad ass, by the way. So if you are in Europe or more specifically United Kingdom where it's actually housed, you could get all the direction, the British and the British out.

So this means people in Europe will have reduced shipping times since if you order from that region everything will be shipped out from the UK. You don't have to pay crazy custom fees or anything like that. I didn't get to talk much about button on the phone. the about I also saw the new Miyazaki film called the wind rises final film. Is that a final film? I'm not a fan. So is he dead? No, no, I heard he's retiring. Oh, he's retiring. Okay. Yeah. So it's a Japanese animation. It's the wind riser leaves about the guy who basically the designer of the zero, but like a very fantastic version of that. So, it was interesting. It was interesting. All right, well, come back next week. We'll get our official nominations in for podcast awards.
