And me and Gus featuring Gus
Got a lot of stuff to be mad about gonna spread it out. Merry Christmas
First of all, I just want to comment Podcast today is pre-recorded. We're not actually live because we are off for the holidays
We're in the magic. We recorded this in October this way. This is recorded in October 2012
So we wanted to take a little time off. So we're not gonna make everyone work. We're not total slave driver taskmasters
Because not just us. There's a lot of people working in the other room. I think I'm in there. True people forget I'm in England right now
You are it's weird to be here
I wonder if I can watch this live from England. Let's go say hi me
Or if I die in a play crash on the way there
Bye in memory
Gavin that would be really
All right, well, we got some hope for oh by the way if that does happen if that does happen
Absolutely add this like broadcast is still you know that's that's yeah, there'd be no doubt
There's no question. Oh, we're not here. We had content
We'll contest them in now like go ahead and like where are you getting all your stuff to can I have your monitor?
No, god, no, who's gonna have your monitor? Fuck you white. You say no
God know like that was so absolutely heavy. You heard it. Kevin free dying in a plane crash. I'm getting his monitor
Do you think that gives me incentive now?
You probably have some tracking software. You could probably watch the play
and you're like crossing your fingers the whole time.
Like something out of a movie.
Get a fucking virtual display.
But you should be really careful
of saying like my playing crash not stuff.
No.
I was reading this story about a dude who,
I forget what it was, he was scamming somebody online.
He was like, he would not,
he was like thinking of me selling like a hammer radio stuff,
like CB radio stuff and was ripping people off
and uh... somebody sent him a bomb in the mail and his mom came in with a package i guess and said he
got a package and goes hope it's not a bomb which apparently every story of read about a mail bomb
that that's the thing the person says right before they open it is a hope it's not a bomb and then
it's a bomb and it blows up in the hands. So don't do that. Don't say that.
But this is already out by the time I've flown.
What's the bomb?
Yeah, but you said it, but you still said it before you.
Yeah, Gavin, the rabbit hole of Gavin Lodge, here we go.
You just said it now, you're not on a plane now.
Do you recognize that?
You're not in UK right now.
Yeah, good.
You're currently alive.
So you'll see. I don't you'll see I'm not super saying the guy with the bomb the guy with the bomb saying I hope it's not a bomb
It's probably because it looked like a bomb
I haven't seen the plane yet. I know you're getting a plane that look like a bomb
I guess why are you angry what happened?
Well a lot of things a lot of it first of all I went to lunch today I'm going to go on this flight. I guess why are you angry? What happened?
Well, a lot of things.
A lot of things.
First of all, I went to lunch today.
I've had a really busy day.
So I was like, I'm just going to run down a Jersey Mike's.
I'm just going to pick up a sandwich.
I get to the door to walk in the Jersey Mike's.
And there's a woman walking in front of me.
Super slow.
She's shuffling.
Like, OK, you know, I could like rush right around her.
I was like, I don't want to be the jerk. I'm just gonna shuffle behind her
She's on the phone talking to someone on the phone the whole time gets up to the counter like what can we get you
She's like a holla holla I want to turkey swisses and then that that doesn't even
Everything on for it just goes back to her phone call. It's like totally detached from the whole thing making everything take really long
Like do you want you know, what do you want on this? Oh, I want this this this this this this this this this this this this
And of course the guys like what okay, he's like trying to put it together
She's like a regga no. I wanted a regga no Jesus like what the fuck you stupid bitch
Wow like this person is like making your food for you have the decency to interact with them
Yeah, you know you're in a line just help there
Get off the fucking phone for five fucking seconds.
You aren't saving someone's life.
You aren't doing a fucking public service.
You're ordering a goddamn sandwich.
I'm generally pretty a pretty nice person,
but I used to work at H.E.B.
at grocery store here in Texas.
But, and H.E.Buts.
But there was one time, like the one I was just in a,
and I've been moved.
This woman came up through my line,
and I was like, oh, like, you know,
how are you doing today?
And she had a phone up and she goes,
and kept talking, like she put her finger up
and kept talking and I was like,
all right, I'm gonna break everything you have.
And so she had eggs, bread.
And she wasn't paying attention to me.
So I took her eggs and I just crushed all the bottom of the egg
and I flattened her bread right in front of her.
Just right in front of her.
I mean, she was just so distracted by her phone
and it was just like, all right, fine.
If you're not gonna pay attention to me. I'm gonna wreck all your shit
She had like yeah, it's like all you do is the whole of the bottom is push in you can break all the bottom of the eggs
Everyone's got to you by H.E.B
But it was like
But over all those things we're like all right fine. Okay, you know if that's what you're gonna do
If you're gonna be that and you're gonna be an asshole to me, I'll be an asshole right back to you
Yeah, and what is the what is the worst thing you've done for the pettiest thing done to you like what what would that be?
They cool one of this
She's gonna give me the one finger like oh
This is more important than whatever you're doing right now. No this face-to-face interaction doesn't count
Yeah, exactly. This person fine. Alright, then there you go. I can't take anything like that
You like to give me a minute on that like Gus walking behind someone for 15 seconds like just that part of it
When he analyzes that she's slower than him and he's gonna have to decide to go around her or not his days already ruined
Yeah, it was over already hated her. I mean everything else after that. We're just adding to it
I can't think of something so petty that I got upset about
It means we said something to me that just like that like it kind of like a kind of like a verbal like disrespect or fuck you
I'd be like all right
Whatever press their eggs or anything like that
But I was like all right if you would have seen me doing that
She could have looked over but she was so busy on her damn phone. It's like all right fine
That's why I feel like an asshole anytime I go to like a restaurant or something. I have a phone out like I'm so sorry
I always apologize and like yeah, I mean
I put it like put it down like have some fucking common. So damn respect there reminds me the other day or not the other day
It was a couple months ago. I was at
grocery store here in town and I was walking out with my groceries like I just paid and this woman came out next to me
And she was like pushing her shopping cart and in Austin, you know
There's no one time use bags.
Everyone has like their reusable bags.
So her shopping cart's filled with like reusable bags
of groceries and stuff and I'm walking out.
And like I'm not quite paying attention to her.
He's like, it's just another random stranger I'm walking next to.
And then like this guy comes up and like starts talking to her
and I'm like, oh shit, they're fighting.
It's like a couple.
You know, and I'm like, like she's really mad at him.
Like she's like not looking at him, turning away.
Then he's like saying something to her and then she just like storms off
I was like fuck what the hell is going on and the security comes out running after her. Oh, no
I was like oh shit. She was stealing an entire shopping cart full of shit like that first guy was like the initial
Hey, you know, what are you doing? Yeah, it's a curvy like hauling ass and they were like running full speed out through the parking lot
I've never seen anything like that. That's awesome. Fucking crazy.
I got first my first instance, he's just,
oh, they're arguing, they're having a spat.
No, they're trying to take care of the jail.
Something's crazy about like grocery stores in general.
I saw so much weird shit happening at grocery stores.
My favorite was when people would put a car and not throw
it in park and get out and leave and go into the store.
And you see cars just like pulled into the middle of the road.
They're like sitting there parked and it's like,
all right,
someone shattered a window of a car one time because there was a dog inside.
Like they basically like they looked around and this like they threw something
through the window to get a dog out.
Because it was the middle summer.
Yeah, yeah, it was the middle summer and there was a dog.
I don't know if the window was cracked or not, but I think in Austin you
you go to jail.
Yeah, you go to jail if you leave your dog.
Yeah, about two or three times a summer we get people like come in and basically call the cops from us
I break no car window really hard to do. Yeah very very hard to do yeah, like throwing a rock at a car window
It's they're pretty flexible. I could break your car window in one go
You're new Tesla. No, not let's not test that let's not test that if I David and Nathan Zelner did a short
Called Rummy. Yeah, I remember I break the window and they thought it would happen in one take and he's throwing a rock at the window and it takes him like
Like 20 tries I think and it turns out to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen
He's got a giant mount but they filmed it at Mount Vannell
He's got a giant rock like this big and it's like throwing it at the window and it just won't break
And he just keeps picking it up there's a video of some news report I'm trying to do a demonstration about.
Oh, I'm kind of safe.
Did you see that?
With a crowbar, he's like, oh, like a tie iron or something.
He's like, wailin' on it and he does it over and over again.
Because he has to deliver his line and then do it.
He's like, damn it.
And eventually he does it and completely cuts his entire hand.
He's like, oh, I'm not going to worry that you're really good.
I've seen like special tools.
I always thought they were done, but I guess it makes sense. I've seen special tools that are intended to like be kept by your car seat. So if your car goes into the water and cuts talk about your car. I'm sure I mean, I guess.
I'm I'd say interesting to anybody. It's pretty bad. I'm pretty excited about. Yeah, about a
Tesla. And so I hate to say it because I don't know. Not the road street. Yeah, but it was after
the whole like fire thing that I just thought, okay, it's not it's statistically it's less than
all the other cars on the road that these things catch on fire. But it still is potentially if it does happen, is a lithium ion fire, which is a little bit different
or whatever the batteries are. So I'm getting one of those just in case.
Well it's funny you think about that. I always worry when I take my laptop on a plane.
I worry about all the batteries we have in laptops and phones. I'm like, if one of these punctured
and ignited and started burning, what the fuck do you do in a plane?
It is pretty serious. If a, you know, it's, I don't know, you know, if that's changed, it used to be a big deal
I think in the 90s when lithium and my own batteries first started to get bigger when they started getting rid of nickel cadmium batteries
9k ads and yeah, it was a big deal. But anyway, I got one because of that. I would like to talk about something though
Which is about the smashing of the window to let the dog out. Did you hear about the dude on
Reddit and DFW with a huge cold snap in Texas? Yeah. It was crazy. I got the hell out of
account. It was awesome. You were talking about your honeymoon? Yeah, sure. So Jack went
on his honeymoon to Florida. He sent a picture of a map, which was the entire US blue or green,
like variation to blue showing how cold it was. And Florida was like this. Yeah.
Yeah. I left Austin. It was 25 degrees. We left early in the morning was 25 degrees
We got to Orlando was 85 degrees and it stayed it stayed like mid 80s to like mid 70s the whole time
And then when you come back. It's fucking nice here
Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, so I missed like that one week of the
Like a rare sunshine. Yeah, it's great. It's always that hot there
It's actually a little bit warmer than typical right now.
I grew up, I grew up, my, my,
I had extended family that lived in Southern Florida in Miami.
And it's, it's just hot and humid there.
Yeah, it's bad.
And other than Houston, where it's like 100% humidity.
It's for me to call anywhere,
human's amazing.
People call Austin human.
I'm like, you're insane.
Austin's not human, but it really is.
It's a human place.
Yeah, generally central Texas is.
But the weather has been so crazy
because we never get rain.
Like we went through a drought
for like the last two or three years.
It seems like, and it's been raining nonstop
in Austin for like a month and a half, two months.
It's great.
And it's like, and then it snowed in Cairo
on the pyramids.
Oh yeah, that was weird.
That's beyond weird.
The first time in over a hundred years. It's like, you'd have to make up in a movie that's snowed in Cairo on the pyramids. Oh, yeah, that was weird. That's beyond the first time in over 100 years.
It's like, you'd have to make up in a movie that's
snowing Cairo and they've snow covered pyramids.
Yeah, like at first you kept seeing all those reports
and then I know on Reddit and pretty good people were like,
where are the pictures?
We want to see pictures of snow on the pyramids.
I feel like it took a little while for those to start
filtering out.
But this cold snap in Dallas, they got hit pretty hard
by it as well, like, you know,
below freezing temperatures. And there was a dog that was kept like a breezeway like an
area between houses. Yeah. And it went missing. And then they posted on the Reddit forum for DFW,
uh, the subreddit, hey, we're missing our dog and a guy replied and said, guess what? I took your
fucking dog because it was outside and it was in breezeway and it became this whole thing where the guy
Had these other people's dog which apparently I don't know the it's a dog that's like a Himalayan mountain dog
No, it's not it but it's something like that or it's got a name that does sound like he would live in the cold like Siberian freezing dogs
But uh, I said puppy, but he had a whole documentation or he was had a story of why he took dog those out there three hours.
He went, walked by there and then came back later and it was still outside and it was
like freezing cold to the touch.
And so he took their dog and then I got on the news and these people were all upset.
It's like this back and forth story.
I would love to know what your opinion of it was the guy right to take the dog.
The thing is you don't know what the true story is.
Right.
Like you're just taking his account at face value.
Is he telling the truth?
I mean, he talked about, in his story about how the dog
didn't have food or water and was malnourished,
but then he posted a picture of the dog
and the dog did not look malnourished.
It did not look fine.
Two hours later.
Yeah, it's like you did not undo malnourishment
in an hour.
You're going to a fence to get the dog
or was he, there was a dog?
He snapped a lock with tools. Oh, wow.
Yeah, I mean, it's not, yeah.
What's with this guy's clearly wrong?
You don't just take someone's dog.
Cool, this tool animal services.
He said he called animal control, but they couldn't make it out there because it was freezing
because of the ice on the roads.
And it was also a weekend, I believe, two might have been part of it.
Yeah.
But, uh, yeah, so it was not, it was, the story was just like, and at first it was like,
it was, I love this kind of thing because it's horrifying
and interesting at the same time. It's an exercise and group thing. The guy posted it
and everybody's like, yeah, right on, you're awesome. Then you got the picture of the couple
that's missing the dog and the lady's ball and going, somebody has our dog and we want
our dog back. And the dog was out for an hour, came inside, was scratching to go back
out because it likes to be out in the cold. So we let it back out. We felt bad about it.
And like they showed the orthopedic mattress they bought for this dog, like 200
$50 orthopedic mattress.
Yeah, they also they also posted a crazy reward.
It was like $2,000 for information about the dog.
Right.
If you're going to abuse a dog and leave it out in the cold and the crate, are you
really going to put a $2,000 reward out on it?
I mean, things don't quite match up.
Like at first, you're like, yeah, good for that guy.
Saving the dog and like, wait, but then the but then the group thing starts swinging back and it's like
then the ladies crying on the news and there was like that guy should go to jail
you know oh we cut the lock that that that you know I'm like did they get the dog
back I actually don't know the end of the story yeah so somebody stole a
dog somebody lost dog and then I stopped caring for anything I find on the
internet you know I you know like I, it sounds like a great story first pass
But I mean you really have to think about the other side as well. Yeah dog still in the FW. Yeah, to me once you break that lock
That's that's where you cross the line
Yeah, but I mean that goes with breaking the window. I mean you could all yeah
Well, I say look what if the dog was chained to a tree and had a lock around it's color, you know
I'll say, look, what if the dog was chained to a tree and had a lock around its collar, you know?
A dog stolen from a Fort Worth couples home during the ice storm. God damn it pop up at
Set off a firestorm of controversy on the internet is back home hidey's owners the gupton family We're reunited with the dog Thursday night. The ordeal started Friday when someone broke the lock on their dog run
Well, they weren't home.
A couple of friends, posts of flyers, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fort Worth police are investigating.
A person who claimed that he took Heidi
called Fox four and he was Wednesday night.
But if you used to give his name or gone camera
and even blocked his phone number.
He said he was concerned for the dog safety of the cold.
He always meant to return Heidi the owners.
I don't believe that.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
He called himself her new daddy.
It was like, like some weird stuff in there. Flat Jesus. You know, dogs back in the right place. I don't believe that. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe that. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't in college. I knew a guy once met somebody in party who is now dead and new people. Now he I have friends in college who stole kidnapped uh Texas anems mascot
which is a border collie. Wow, they got revenue. Oh, huh? They were the guys who got
revenue the first time. Like Jesus. There is a group of uh uh like uh cadets at uh
Texas anem called the core, but they're not actually ROTC, they're like an offshoot of it.
I'm not sure how the distinction,
but one of their duties is to guard the mascot for A&M,
which is their mascot for the school is not really a dog,
but they have this dog that it goes everywhere,
it goes to class, if it barks in class,
and one of the traditions is everybody gets to go home,
the class is dismissed, and they always made a big deal about the fact that the dog had never, is the only college
mascot that had never been kidnapped.
And my buddies were like, well then we'll just kidnap it.
And they totally did it.
They kidnapped the dog.
And then when they got the dog, it's like normal college prank, we kidnapped the dog.
Nope.
And then was like that dog is X amount of value
We're pressing felony charges against whoever has this thing. They were freak the fuck out
What would they gonna do with the dog afterwards? What did they plan on doing?
You keep it till like after a football game then you return it then you return it. Yeah, you take photos with it
You know, you know, you like it. We take of it. It is the early
1900s
They they were kidnapped bevo and then eat it they did they ate our mascot
Mask off for you to you are he's the long. Yeah, people is the longhorn. Yeah
You know what you know what Bivo was. No, you know the long horns work how
I know what the mask of the Texas is the longhorn. You know who Bivo was no living in Austin
I realized our audience won't know Bivo is the name of the University of Texas mascot. It's a longhorn and there's a if you ever see it at the football games
It's drugged. It's drugged. I was mine
What's the dope top cow? Yeah, just sit there's like looks around
No, it's a longhorn though. It's got the giant fucking horn. Why are they doing stuff for the animals?
In fact the name of our the name of our, the name of our mascot, what's the, what's the good to sport? The name of our mascot is Beavo, because somebody kidnapped it and
branded burned into the side of it, 13 to zero, which was the score of the last
game. Those texts, they did it. Yeah, text, they did it. And the solution for
them burning the cow, burning the score into its side is we'd fix it by
burning more letters and spelling. So the 13, the one three became a B,
and then the dash became an E,
and they just put a little bit of B
in the door.
Burned again to fix the first.
What counts get branded all the time?
Branded.
It was the whole time.
Yeah.
It was there.
There it is.
There's Vivo.
That doesn't look cruel.
You know, most V those like up until the very
Like maybe like two ago like in the 90s like most of the Meevos ended the run as our mask up by being eaten
Yeah, yeah, they were served up like like gay or like Zivo 13 or 14 now, right?
Yeah, I think they just retired this be though
So it is why you like the hot spurs right what if after a good game you could eat like everyone in the stadium gets chicken
Right at the same thing. What's weird though? The way of an animal mascot. Yeah, it's cool
That's not the real chicken. We have a better suit that that long one is probably eating eating better than you right now
I did you know that's an animal that dude's drugged up. He thought of his mind, man.
But the, uh, the like in some of the college stadiums, like there's the Colorado University
Colorado. They've all freaking buffalo that they run out on the field. And in Baylor and
Waco, they have a bear. They actually have like, they're bears on campus. It doesn't
come out during the games, so they have them on campus. There was a balling. I never
talked about it. In the, uh, in the Ace Ventura movie. Do they really have a dolphin in real life?
I don't know if the Miami dolphins I have a dolphin. I have never seen the dolphin
Yeah, I've never seen that. I don't think I don't think they would get I don't know
I don't I want to say the Eagles have an eagle that comes out like they actually have a guy like flies an eagle around the field
It would be awesome if like the the eagle started up at the top of the lights. Yeah. And then came down and dive bombs with
a snowball with a 9 volt battery in it. The opposing team. They do that. Philly fans do that. They'll
put batteries in snowballs and throw them. What? Like posing team. No, just because to put like
weight in the round. Oh, I said, I'll try to pile these snowman fans do that too. Do that. Yeah,
the Buffalo fans. Those guys are crazy. With food and care for the Longhorn Coste University 50 cents a day and nostalgic pangs of school spirit still
Taking a backseat to a good meal the original ask out was slaughtered and served at the teams bank quit in the winter of
1920 where the freshly defeated A&M players were even invited to chow down. Oh, yeah a lot of the
Beos ended their run as barbeque
I mean look I mean it's like why is this cow different than this cow it's like just
because this one is a mascot
you fully utilize the cow
you get you get you good run of it as the mascot then you enjoy it
I guess you don't waste it
shit happens
so we're totally not going to talk about Mac Brown leaving Texas right
we haven't talked about football coaching changes and forever
we're close with this mascot thing
anyway my buddies they had Reveley and they were like,
What happened? They were hunted.
They were, I mean, they were scared shitless.
That's dangerous though, because if I had stolen a dog and all of a sudden it was
everyone is trying to find the dog, I would probably quickly bury it.
I'd kill it and bury it.
How would you give it back?
They had to go to the lane.
They tied her to a tree. They put her leash.
They tied her leash to a tree and they called a radio station, sports radio station, because
it was a huge story on all sports stuff. And they said, the dogs out there, please go,
please go get the dog because she's tied to a tree in the shade and she's fine. I can't
forget what time of year it was, but it was totally fine to do this. And then they
had to like, because they were so concerned, they stayed close. I mean, they weren't trying to hurt the dog.
But then this college, traditional college prank
to steal a mascot, that's totally normal.
It is, it's totally normal.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Yeah.
And they, but it turned into this huge thing.
And I think, honestly,
I think A&M was huge puts these about it,
especially because they bragged about their mascot
was the only college mascot.
We're gonna put it out there.
You're essentially issuing the challenge. Yeah, but how did they get the dog away from the core?
Like that's that doesn't the dog sleep at a room like I can take the whole story
So the kid there's one person who is assigned as the caretaker for the dog. They kill an eat that guy
No, unfortunately, this is a real like human impact of this story is that dude was basically run out of school
Jesus, yeah, I mean he's basically because he was in the core and he had a very prestigious position
And so I know just he wasn't there after a little better off not being in any way well I guess so after that happened
You know, and it's like then the dog got stolen on his watch and it had never been stolen before and so yeah
He was as far as I remember if I recall correctly, he was not there very shortly in their ass
Okay, so how did get the dog out of this guy's place? They just went they opened the back gate and they went
Come here girl, and she just walked up and then they walked away with her Jesus
Yeah, she's yeah, and I think that was part of it too is that they didn't steal it from the school. They stole it from a
I shouldn't say we're still in
They they prank her away from a personal residence.
That was part of it as well.
They were going to press charges and all this stuff.
How much do you remember how much did they say?
Revolution was worth?
God, I don't know what was called in 200 bucks.
I think that instead it was more, if the theft is over a certain value, it was like 10 grand
and they value the dog higher than 10 grand without actually putting a price tag on the dog.
So this person, you know, their friends got away.
Scott Friedman.
I don't know anybody.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That's a great story.
When I look at Reveley and I look at Kidnap and Wikipedia, Reveley doesn't come up.
There's a core member to sit there and edit the Wikipedia page every day.
Yeah, she's just a little little board colleague
Revely kid apps. Yeah, but so they used to have or so again this is all extremockets
Revely they have multiple revolutions because you know dogs die over time and they have a graveyard for Revely outside of the stadium and they had it before where the the graveyard from the graveyard you could see the scoreboard
Inside the stadium when they read they they read it the stadium
They added on to it. They built a wall that covered the like the view of the scoreboard inside the stadium. When they read, they read it the stadium, they added on to it.
They built a wall that covered the view of the scoreboard.
So they built another scoreboard outside of the stadium
so you can see a scoreboard from the graveyard
for these dogs.
That's how extreme sports mask got.
I didn't know that, that's awesome.
Yeah, they all, they also added a whole bunch
of national championships and colleg and collegiate champions or
Conference championships that they won that they didn't actually win like they had a board listing all the years
They won stuff and they just put stuff in there. They didn't actually win holy shit
It's gonna be the 20th anniversary of this because it's December 31st 1993. Oh well
Revoli 6 a four-month-old colleague disappeared from the yard over handles North Dallas home early Sunday
Another dogs told in Dallas
the art of her handles north Dallas home early Sunday. Another dog's stolen in Dallas.
I'm called December morning.
I'm Reveley's daddy now.
Yeah, just days before the egg is cottonball appearance, at the time the handler said the missing
puppy was the sister of the new mascot.
Oh, they were trying to hide it, I guess.
But on Thursday, University officials confirmed that Reveley six had vanished.
The theft, theft of the puppy who replaced the retiring of Reveley five is a stab at the
very heart of Aggie traditions. I've never seen a tradition so strong as Reveley five is a stab at a very hard of Aggie traditions
I've never seen tradition so strong as Reveley said somebody who goes
Highest she's the highest ranking member of the Corps of cadets that's dumb
You do this the cadets have to salute the dog. I think they might have to I think they might have to you
You just stand in attention for the dog
Yeah, and by the way was a anem was Texas' like primary rival Texas and Texas A&M,
but then A&M left to go to.
Nessie C. C. Yeah, it was, it was arguable because the college we all went to
University of Texas. You guys went to? Yeah, you can go, right? You went to Rice.
It's either University of Oklahoma or Texas A&M was our biggest rival.
No, it'll be Texas A&M. Arguably. You think it's Texas A&M?
There are in state like 90 miles away
alive the story history Texas a and M as far as actual competition Oklahoma yeah so there's
a bunch of dead dogs in the state yeah six or seven yeah I wonder if you could steal all the
bones and make it like super dog would you make a super dog be like six times the size of a regular dog
You take a leg you make it six times longer
What do you do with like six ribcage? Is he have like a really long leg with a normal size dog body?
One all together into a big rib cage. No, that's just difficult
Essentially to send up with a skeleton of a dog with a really long leg. Merry Christmas everybody Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to everybody. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
To you and your dogs.
Uh.
So you don't want to be like crazy mascot stories back in Europe?
Like, I don't know.
They had wars over that shit.
I know, right.
Yeah.
They would like steal like, a rose princesses and stuff like that.
Yeah.
And long trips to go get like a like hooliganism over there is crazy.
Like they have mobs after soccer games.
Yeah.
I mean, people will get trampled to that and stuff, but it's never animals, though.
Yeah, but animals that's what I can draw the line.
People die all the time.
What's worse, cruelty to humans or cruelty to animals?
Cruelty to humans.
Honestly, cruelty to humans.
So two humans being the crap at every child is worse than a human punching a dog today.
Well, I mean, I mean, the dog's worse.
Yeah, cruelty to humans is worse.
I get it. I don't know why people are like animals are defenseless and all that stuff if you give the animals a choice of like
Even all the animals are a circle and you said hey, what do you guys think about making the lines?
I think they go fuck go for it. I mean they wouldn't give a shit
Yeah, did you did you see that video of that?
Cat attacking that woman in Michigan so fucking awesome what?
Incredible it was fucking dead cat.
It's just like, that's a woman.
And this woman says it was like bothering her dog.
So she's like out in the front of her house.
She's like kind of kicking snow at it to try to get it out of the way.
She like turns around.
There's no audio.
So you don't know what happens.
She's like rocking away from it.
You can pipe it out there if you want, Bernie.
How do I do that?
Nothing I can do.
Here, Jack can do it.
So she goes to turn away from it.
And then she like turns around and look at it again. And she goes to turn away from it. And then she turns around to look at it again.
And she kind of steps towards it.
And then the next thing you know, the cat is like from aliens.
The cat is on her face and she's on the ground.
Like it has jumped up on her face, pulled her to the ground.
And then she like is stumbling around that she gets up and the cat's like latched onto her arm.
And she's just like trying to peel it off and like throws it and it lands on its feet with like
it's tail up like in a defensive position. It's like out of a kung fu movie.
It's fucking badass. That's awesome. Like I hadn't watched wrestling in a couple
years and when I went back and watched it, if you were doing moves where like they
grabbed somebody by the waist and then flip all around the person and lock on to their
neck and then do like a leg whip like a that's what the cat did. It was so fucking incredible.
This cat takes down a full grown woman
That's amazing. I can't I'm not a Wi-Fi. Did you ever see that video of
This some security footage as a cat on a wall and a woman just walks by
And just picks up the cat and puts it in a bin puts in garbage bin
Yeah, and then you walks off. Yeah, that she's a lunatic lunatic. I don't know how we do that's a lunatic
It wouldn't do anything. No
That's it. And this woman people were like group think again
They were saying this woman attacked a cat she got what she deserves all I care is the cat fucking got a woman
We have the video there on the ingestion
There's cat get a little face full so take that
Cat so this is a video this is a cell phone video of a normal video that's the first little fate
That cat left onto her face oh
Look he's going after you
Step so this makes you think about when you said you could fight a tiger a house cat almost kill that woman
The house cat that woman That was a pink juicy suit
You like to sit there staring at it. It's like mad dog
I just walk just walk it was like a champion of momentum like
I couldn't have waited more than eight or nine pounds right and the way I landed it's just like nothing happened
Yeah, it was like it was like ready to keep going. It's like something out of a fucking kung fu movie
I know I don't know I'm listen
I've been bitten by a cat and then I've been bitten by a cat. That's too totally
Yeah, like a playful bite versus a angry cat bite. Yeah, you know when you actually get bitten by a cat
It's a holy cow that thing to go shut down. Yeah, I didn't show the pictures
But they showed like she had to go to the hospital because she got like severe infections from the bites because cats are
Killed the animals and her face was just all swollen. She had all these like puncture marks on her forehead
You know it's one of the only words that cat to get bit by the person
Maybe you bit by a person you're well a human bite is way stronger than any cow dog isn't it?
You're pretty fucked. Yeah, it's dirt. Wait. Wait. What do you mean stronger like jaw force? No?
Yeah, no, I would say a dog would probably be stronger than that
You know you could bite you could bite off one of your fingers without thinking about it
If your body would let you do it. Yeah, Jesus like a cares was a Jack Reacher the the Tom Cruise movie
There's a guy who did that and it's like the big boss in that movie like bid off his own fingers
Yeah, but a dog would bite you, but it would
probably have to like shake like the alignment of our teeth and the force of the jaw. I think they rely on the shredding from
turning their heads. Yeah, we can just be like, it's not happening.
The tax. It doesn't be commonly think about it, but like if you were like in a war and you're
tussling with somebody hand to hand combat, the way you would fight when there's no rules just for survival, that would be a fucking brutal fight.
But even in war there's rules, right?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We're looking at a guy who's like looking to kill you. I thought it's saving our lives. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of.
No, no, no, wait, wait, you know.
Yeah, he's a shh, shh, shh.
It's creepy.
No, you need to go straight for someone's eyes, right?
Or yeah, I'm for Christ's eyes.
Or the balls, Jesus Christ, just fucking.
I got him with that boy.
I would get a medal from the US government
for kicking so many balls.
Like that would be my go-to move.
It's gotta be a big reason why they shaved so
they're going nuts, Zach.
Yeah, I'm holding nuts, Zach.
Yeah, I'm sure he don't have to grab onto.
Yeah, you would absolutely grab hold of somebody's hair
or rip their ear off or bite their throat, you know.
Like, it's in MMA where they're wrestling like this.
They just bite somebody's neck.
You'd never go into those quick arm bars.
Pull someone's aughts right out.
Yeah, absolutely.
Pull out the jugular with your teeth.
Yeah.
That's one of the bits in catching fire.
One of the tributes is like shaved your teeth into bangs
Yeah, which I'm like, okay, but you know, it's kind of cool
But when you get close enough to like bite somebody with your precious fangs intimidating. It's intimidating, right?
Well, yeah, you get some name of a match
You really would ever do that ever ever?
Does anyone actually ever do that for intimidation like some weirdo do people actually file their teeth?
I think there's a guy who filed down his canines like really sharp. Oh, man. I should show this I feel his name
But yeah, on it. Yes, some of his MMA guys crazy one of the guys that's on its sponsors
Oh, I'll see if I can pull that he has a really he has a
An MMA like he has the mouthpiece, but he's like drawn big buck teeth
like he has the mouthpiece, but he's like drawn big buck teeth. It's the most like, let me let me let me let me let me let me let me
let me read the on it read here and I'll look that out.

Speaking of local stuff, the new Mac pros is launched.
The trash bin.
That's one of the other things I have in my hate list.
You're going to bring me back to the fucking hate.
They really made their big name.
No idea what you're doing.
They're being made so you're in often.
They launched the Mac Pro.
Yeah.
They made their target.
They started promoting this in June.
Yeah.
They're going to launch it in December.
They launched it. You're not going to get up until February promoting this in June. Yeah. They're gonna launch it in December. They launched it.
You're not gonna get it until February.
Really?
Yeah.
He was living it out.
I was like, what the fuck does that mean?
So all I've done is given you the button to buy it,
but really nothing's changed.
Right.
You don't get shit.
Wow.
You can customize it now.
You can see the actual price.
That's another thing I hate.
You've just fucking hit the hot button.
Merry Christmas.
These are not being made in Austin.
Yeah. Which, you're just fucking yeah.
It's a big problem that we don't make it. I'm giving a little bit of a thought.
It's being made in America. That's pretty cool. Why? Why do we want? We don't,
we don't, job. America doesn't, it's not being made. America is not known as a manufacturing
thing to make. Do they have suicide nets at that building like I'm sure it's like pretty good conditions there
Right great conditions in China too people the
Jobs they fucking stand in line for days to get those jobs, you know, we we have a tiny factory here to build these Mac pros
Okay, we can't build enough of them we can't get them until February
I guarantee you if Foxconn was making these fucking things there'd be one on my desk right now
Well, they're working on I haven't no reason to help me.
I didn't have any on the desk. Also, like, that's another thing I'm mad about.
Oh, no.
So people are bitching about how much this thing costs.
That's the price of manufacturing in America.
Yeah.
You manufactured here. Of course it's going to fucking cost more.
Like, all I see is comments are like, why the fuck is this so expensive?
I could buy a PC for way cheaper.
Do you want I mean?
No winning this my pro is always expensive. It's really fucking expensive now more expensive
It's like
It's like a mix of brand based now like me before I was like I think it was like
I like it. I wish I had one
You get like that new design. No my my computer's not do you for refresh yet?
So I'm using it. Yeah, you're
You would have one today
We you we put in an order for you
You get it in failure your first knee issue motor office you bastard. I'm the only I'm needed for when I'm editing 4k
Phantom stuff. Yeah, so yeah, I mean I just it's just the fucking debacle. I can't believe and okay
This a fucking gateway for even more. He's doing it. Fucking Apple man fucking can't get their shit together. So ever since I upgraded
to Mavericks, my male application has been shit. Really? It just does not work. It was the
same with the last. It's worse down and down. So Mavericks came out pile of shit. Does
not work at all. Why are you using Mavericks use the web based thing we use shut up
So great good for you talking about me. I'm talking about me
It's so bad. It's still cloud based fucker. How do you need to walk slow behind somebody?
The the mail application was so bad that before they released the 10.9.1 update
They had it up just a fixed mail. Wow didn't fix it
So it's really worth re-enproblem and there's a fixed one that he doesn't fix your thing
So they finally released 10.9.1 with has another mail fix and made it even worse than it was before
So was now when I check mail on my desktop. It doesn't mark mail is read
So on my phone my field my my mail is still unread,
and the web browser is still unread.
So like I'll go through my desktop,
read everything, reply to everything,
they look in the web browser, and it's still unread.
And then I look back at my desktop,
and everything's marked as unread again,
because it's refreshed and gotten status from the web.
Client, like what the, it's absolutely worth.
So you're the one mail.
I am now, because they fucking broke it.
So your mail app is telling all your other devices that you haven't read email that you've read. Right, and then I haven't replied to it. So you're the one male. I am now because they fucking broke it So your male app is telling all your other devices that you haven't read email that you've read right that I haven't replied to it
That's why I had to reconfirm my your your show it up today because I didn't know if I emailed you because the fucking thing doesn't tell me
Total pile and mail it I always said just as bad. I'll read a message back out and it says it's unread
So then I have to go in and read it again
Yeah, it's sometimes take some time sometimes prefer old shit
What was the fuck is Steve Jobs when you need him?
He's getting the shit with fly Steve Jobs in charge. He would literally have heads on pikes and fucking cuppertino over this shit
That is true. He would be kicking over some shit. No, I'm a friend who works at Apple and she basically says like now that Steve's gone like people
Are just much more lax about this they just don't care as much anymore and when he was there like he would rain they are in a viral
They are in a bitter war with Android over the mobile platform
Yeah, and they are fucking it up. Yeah, they have fucked it. I said it
He seems to be sinking back and you know like I don't
Gave me shit because when the new iOS for the iPhone came out,
I didn't upgrade for like two weeks,
and you kept telling me to do it, do it, do it.
I just don't, I've learned not to do that anymore.
Like I have not upgraded to this new OS update.
Don't.
At all for my MacBook Air.
My mail is fine.
Watch, I'm gonna make, mark something red.
See, the reason I upgrade is I'm always our test case
for upgrading other machines in the office.
Yeah. Because if there's problems, I normally can work around always our test case for upgrading other machines in the office. Yeah.
Because if there's problems, I normally can work around them.
Test for you.
Now this one.
I upgraded mine and my web client works fine.
That is not the worst response to any tech support problem you're ever having, which good gun.
That works for me.
That's like, you just can't maneuver, like grab my back.
Just redo your entire workflow to work like this.
I've only been doing it this way for like 10 fucking years. Let me redo everything
Well, I'm a person. I'll think the way you handle it. Yeah, I watch other people
I receive such a volume of mail like everything's so customized. I need everything to be handled a particular way
Otherwise, I'm lost. What's the thing for me is like with its all web-based?
You're also terrible at replying to mail. I'm good. I'm good to reply to you today like immediately
Yeah, but you didn't reply to the first message I said did you send a first message? Yeah, I'm good, I'm good, I'm like you today, like immediately. Yeah, but you didn't reply to the first message I sent. Did you send the first message? Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm like, look, I can't reply.
Yeah, you did.
Why are you telling me?
I don't think you, that was in a confirmation email,
it was just a list.
I assume that was okay.
I didn't realize you need to recognize the confirmation
to a list.
But like, I think about web-based stuff is like no matter where I am,
I can pop onto a computer and get exactly the same thing.
I use the future.
But so like, for you, I use that as a utility.
Like, when I'm away from my computer, that's great.
I can work with that.
But when I'm at my work machine, where I need the most
efficiency, the ability to get through things
as quickly as possible, I have a very particular workflow
that I need to adhere to.
Like, the web browser is fine.
I can work around with that.
It works.
But ultimate efficiency, I need that application.
I need all of my hot keys. I don't want to fucking click on sand.
I want Apple shift D, dude. Apple shift D. Like I have all the hot keys
memorized. You know, I don't want to get that. I'm crazy about
email. I get so much mail.
ripping off shift keys. You know, I understand that. Like I mean,
like we've been asking for Final Cut Pro 7, like because we don't
want to upgrade anything else because we've been using the same
things so long now.
Or it's like if they would just make a Final Cut Pro 7 work in 64 bit instead of the 32 bit that doesn't take advantage of the full processor and everything.
So I would help pay for those.
They released a Final Cut Pro 10 upgrade to accommodate the new Mac Pro's and boost performance.
This is a broad topic of conversation.
Yeah, no kidding.
It's hating Apple.
Everyone loves Apple, right?
Colin's coach again.
Yeah.
Apple do suck in a lot of ways.
It's a shame that products are cool.
What's to me when I watch anyone with an email,
like I went into Holm's office, he has an inbox.
His inbox has 38,000 emails in it.
Jesus.
He leaves everything.
There's no such thing as any other mailbox
besides his inbox.
He just processes everything there. I looked at that and it cheeses. He leaves everything. There's no such thing as any other mailbox besides his inbox. He just processes everything there.
I looked at that and I hated them.
I actually hated Matt.
I was like, how can you possibly do this?
Do you guys do that same thing?
I try to go through about once a month
and try to clear it out.
Oh, I've been honest to me.
I don't think I've ever deleted an email in my life.
No, but an organizational.
I just move everything to other folders.
Oh, no, it's just gigantic inbox.
It's a huge list. My slow mo guys gmail account is full
It's got what two gigs of mail storage way more 30 gigs. I feel gazes my my rooster teeth mail
Which like and we recently migrated when we migrated to this new system. I purged a lot of mail. I'm at 10 gigs
Like it like it's that this is why I need a mail
application. I mean, look at my folders, like you're talking about organization.
Geez.
There's a lot too many. Yeah, that's that's that's that's the world I live in.
He's what he's what I do. Everything's in the same inbox spotlight.
Yeah, you just look up to you just think search you search for your stuff.
You just you just type it. But I still need an inbox and tell,
an inbox to me is like a to-do list.
And I keep stuff in my inbox and then as I need,
like as I process something,
I move it out into like the all mail from the computer.
Yeah, you know.
But yeah, I can understand.
I mean, you've been using that email address
for over a decade now.
So I imagine this pretty very, very passionate about it.
I have so many rules and things moving to folders.
And it's a very good.
You have rules about the ways that you interact.
Do you know what?
Do you have a lot of communication?
Well, it probably means custom rules.
If you ever email receive with a subject line,
move to this folder.
That didn't make it better, Jack.
No, I'm worried though.
Like you give me rules, you make computer rules.
That's less nerdy.
The universe is really big, right?
Yeah. So there's always stuff. There's all this stuff. There's less nerdy. The universe is really big, right? Yeah.
So there's always stuff.
There's always stuff.
There's always galaxies and then we're one tiny little planet.
Or one giant little robot.
And you're only around for like a tiny little speck of time.
Maybe you.
And just you're worrying about like email organization.
I'm worried about.
You're not going to think.
Maximizing my time in this world.
And how about that, fucker?
I mean, there are better things to worry about.
Okay, I just wanted to play a game of fuck it.
Sorry, everyone.
Yeah.
I was funny because I had that conversation.
I was in a lawyer's office and we were looking at a contract and we were having it
of seriously, a five to ten minute conversation about whether, when you say,
they'll pay the amount in full, whether it was clear say they'll pay the amount in full,
whether it was clear to say pay the amount in full or pay in full the amount because
the full would modify paid. So is the amount is going to be full. It makes it's clear
to say paid in full the amount. It's like what the fuck is it? How do human beings get
this level? It's like five graduate level educated people and we're all sitting in there
going. Yeah, it's like a real debate. It's like God. level educated people and we're all sitting in there going
Yeah, it's like a real debate. It's like God the cavemen who are fucking fighting
Savor two tigers think I hope one day he'll be sitting in a fucking conference room with a big ass long table And they'll be discussing about
It's up me though
I hope people are one day sitting in a room not having to fight a saber two tigers pretty much
I kind of sometimes just want an eject button
on the situation that I'm in, where it would eject me out.
I'd go through the ceiling.
My phone and all technology would just fly away from me
and I'd just land in a field and just like hang out.
And it'd be like a little reset.
It'd be like a little reset on the situation.
It's like, yeah, that was an important.
I'm gonna go and do something else.
Do the middle of the yield.
Yeah.
Would you want to tell me what it's to take you somewhere?
No, just be one with nature for a little bit.
And then when you come back, you'll be a refreshed person.
And it'll be like, well, that's stuff we weren't about.
You used to drink as the least nature person ever.
If you were trapped out of field somewhere, I can't imagine you enjoying yourself.
Yeah, like I was in Gavron.
Hey, let's go camping.
Do you want to go camping?
I can't imagine Gavron being like, yeah, let's go camping afterwards.
I like camping.
I used to go for the random hikes all the time in England
I'm gonna do it here. I'll burn today actually does something she calls
Glamping oh
Camping glamorous camping that's what you know what I've heard I've heard of glamping
I think lamp and now that I say it alive that glamping was the thing they do at cons where they
Glamping oh glamping right come on totally different where they just like don't ever do don't ever glump Think basically they basically like
Grope people is what that is because of a glomping is like jump hug jump hug. Okay. All right
Yeah, but glamping is glamorous camping so it's like glamping almost sounds as lame as a front glamorous
What is it's like they take like very like like air mattresses?
Like like they take a lot of technology with them to make the experience
Okay, easier. Well, don't just don't be outside. Yeah, that's what I say. Yeah, yeah
All right, so I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna move on to something else. I hate I wouldn't okay go ahead. Does it theme parks?
So I'm sick of Facebook. I agree with you. There are
What it to be for you. There are people who only have one kind of update.
Like there's this one due to my timeline.
I know I'm gonna post about tech window.
Every post.
We all know who that is.
It's not the person you think it is.
I have another person who only posts stuff they're selling.
Like they use it like their personal Craigslist.
I have another guy with high school with who's a realtor, only post real estate news.
It's like,
Hi, has this become your life? Like this is my experience of you, of these people.
It's like, you are the garage sailor, you are the realtor, and you're the tech
wander guy. It's like, that's the image you're projecting.
Yeah, it's so fucking one side of the one-dimensional. I don't want to see that shit.
I'm done. I'm fucking done. I a fucking delete my Facebook account. I have a
So on beyond the like married and baby photos. I'm so sick of that. Yeah, baby me
What just hide all from user you're done hide all from user. I just remove friend
Or just remove friend. Yeah, balls like Gavin does apparently. I don't have that on Twitter
I have a whole app that looks me mute people that I follow. Yeah, it's like
apparently I don't have that on Twitter. I have a whole app that lets me mute people that I follow. It's like it's like oh oh oh oh and crazy political mute person. Oh yeah. I love that guy. Crazy political
mute. She's like an uncle or something. It's my old English teacher from middle school. I am so sick.
Can you imagine trying to describe your mute function to a caveman and try and make that make sense?
We're like okay so this feature what it does is with this device
It lets me see what they do on that device, but then I don't want to let them know that I don't want to see the stuff on
That they're typing on the device. Yes, so it lets me not see it even though he thinks that I'm seeing it right and the caveman would probably just club you today
You can call me that but he's a match by phone
You can call me that, but he smashed my phone. So he has a device that he puts words into it,
and then the words go into the air,
and my device will take the air and pull the words out of it,
and then I ignore them.
I would have bought a device to pull words out of the air,
that I don't want to read.
And I'm sure it would be specific. But I'm never going device to pull words out of the air that I don't want to read
It's Every three seconds I pull it out to stare at it
If there's a scale of useful things that you even could do then you're dealing with Twitter and it's like this
It's so narrowed down and then it narrowed down even further to the point where it's so irrelevant to anyone
And I mean I've written out of the point where Twitter's been going so long
I mean the people like the people who kind of tweet a little bit more than other people,
it's now way out of scale because of time.
Like I tweet a little bit, you tweet less than I do.
I don't know how much you do.
I have like 2000.
I do, I do maybe like five, five a day.
I have like 5000 total tweets, maybe like 6000, somewhere that range.
But then like now it's like, my friends are like 80, 90,000.
It's like, that is a volume of information information. Well the my ratio thing still comes into effect
Or if you have more tweets than followers you need to calm down
Like that drives me crazy, but that's most people Jack. I know but I mean
Just put you up a lot of followers doesn't mean you have any more to say
But I'm saying like if you have if you have why talk to an empty room
Don't check if you have if you have one friend how many times you love to text them Is there Yeah, if you have one friend, how many times you'll add a text to them?
Is there a limit on that?
Didn't text them, don't tweet them. Like, that's not a public thing.
That's like how people communicate.
But I mean, if you have 15 followers and 20,000 tweets, it's like, all right,
you are just talking to an empty room.
You're off base on this.
It wouldn't be an empty room.
I mean, it's like, how many, like, with how many Twitter followers you have,
how many of them don't exist that you're talking.
That's true. I'm talking to people who just don't exist. I think about that a lot. Like, how many of followers you have how many of them don't exist that you're talking Think about that. I'm talking to people who just don't exist
I think about that a lot like how these are just fucking these robots are hacked accounts. It's a lot of them
Old-med people man. I have gotten that's I've gotten so much fucking Twitter spam this year
I don't remember it being this bad last year
But like hijacked accounts that are like ugboots at a discount click here like what I
It's really embarrassing when I see someone I know who gets a high-judged. I'm like how did you like oh I didn't really tweet that it's
It was a hijack I'd say I would rather say that I tweeted that then I did something that got my account hijacked
Yeah, I had a thing where so I have my own personal email outside of work
And I have a catch like my my main email is a catch all account and someone made a like payroll at my personal email.com
and so I saw like suddenly my inbox is flooded like 200 emails where someone sent out a spam
email with my you know like domain on the end of it.
You're a turn-dressed.
Yeah, it's like what the like where did that how did that happen?
And so I'd go through my you know apps and everything and turn all that off but it's like shit
that sucks.
I gotta go with Gus and one thing though there's one thing in particular that bugs the shit out of me
that people do.
It's a Facebook.
No it's on Twitter.
It's a Twitter thing.
It might be on Facebook.
I never have used Facebook to any level.
It's like every time.
I'm just like Facebook in general is that the thing that bugs
the shit out of me.
Oh yeah.
I'm done.
No, but I hate and I have a lot of people on my feed that do this.
I don't want to get involved with your customer service issues.
Okay.
I don't want people to tell me like,
oh, thanks United, you just canceled my flight.
And then they call out United,
but like they don't do it to United.
They do it to everybody.
Like they're gonna shame United.
I have everyone starts tagging in,
United and saying, hey, help this person out.
Yeah, it's just like, I don't look.
If you can't handle your life, that's you.
I don't like customer service situations that I have deal with. I don't, look, if you can't handle your life, that's you. I don't like customer service situations that I have to deal with.
I don't fucking be involved.
Yours.
You just tweeted shit about yellow cab.
What I do.
I do.
I replied to Barbara.
Oh, is that why I saw, I guess that's why I saw it.
Yeah, I replied to Barbara.
I'm totally guilty of doing that.
I will 100% admit I've done that.
Everybody does it.
And no, it works.
The thing is, because people are so scared of something
on social media going viral and getting them bad press,
that they will jump on situations.
Yeah, but can I just see you like you're using,
if you're on the phone with like,
you're on hold for two hours,
and my phone rings and you're,
I'm like, hey, what's up?
And you're like, hey, I'm on hold for two hours,
I'm gonna comfort you in so that we can talk to this guy.
I'm like, five years old.
I'm like,
oh, wait a minute, hold with you. To me like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back.
I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I'm like, five years back. I hope they got a business, I added them and they reply like, oh, what's your problem? We're here to help. You know, send us a DM. They're like, okay,
so they're trying to be proactive. Send them a DM, I explained stuff, we go back and forth a bit,
they're like, yeah, we can't help you. Oh, it's like, oh great. That happened to me,
a Tivo where like Tivo charged me for something I didn't want to pay for. And I mean, there was
something like I specifically got it went out on my way and like, okay, I don't want to charge
for, I don't want this anymore. And they gave it to me anyway and charged me for it. And I called
them up and the guy was an asshole on the phone
And I saw I ran it on and on Twitter about it and like the next day like a VP of PR called me like directly called me
And so we saw your tweet what how can I help you and I was like fuck. Okay, that's awesome
And so they actually went out of the way and took care of it for me. So it's like okay, I respect that and to me
It's a taxi. It's the to me is the equivalent of the people who will put signs on their car
You know about how they're like you know that they've been wrong by some customer service or some government agency or something like that
To me it's that same level now. I'm not saying like like I've written like Xbox support going
Hey, I can't use my credit card and at at Xbox support because I'm communicating to them
It's the broadcasting thing that drives me crazy
What we figured out the credit card thing yet.
No.
It still doesn't work.
I'm still fuck too.
How much money does it cost?
It's not losing.
No, we don't do that Twitter.
We use our podcast.
Totally different.
Yeah, but everyone, we've all got this problem.
And if anybody else is dealing with it too.
It must be, it must be.
Was it Adam Covick?
I think that has a problem.
Yeah, Covick had it too.
Nobody in our company can buy anything
that X-POP's I've networked anything that he can't tell what I'm networking.
All he can do is go to Amazon, buy a card,
a point card there, and then put it on your account.
It's got to get effect.
I wonder if it's affecting all of us
because we all use a lot of Xboxes.
And we also have-
We might also be like high volume.
Yeah, like high volume.
Purchase your tags.
But you don't want to cut off your,
I have to think I'm a high volume.
I buy a lot of downloadable titles.
Yeah.
And I like Xbox Live arcade, which I don't call that anymore.
I bought half my games were actually all titles, maybe more.
And I wonder if it has some new devolume, but man, if you cut off your high volume users,
you're, that's a huge chunk.
We have a lot of volume, but it hasn't been an issue.
There's no chargebacks, there's no fraud.
I mean, we have a high volume with consistent good reputation. I don't know how else to say it
Some's going on. Some's going on. It just basically we're not really explaining what's happening
So we can't when most of us at the company started with Gavin
I think we can't buy things on Xbox live
It was just it tells me use another payment method
Yeah, and I have like four in there now and now they're all not working. Yeah, it just says con author
I tried every credit card every debit card personal business everything. Yeah, none of them work. Yeah, no
no, no, no, the cheeming out of a 200 guys can get that the work. Hey pal doesn't do it. Paypal is not working. Yeah, and it's just super frustrating. Paypal doesn't work.
So that's crazy. Yeah, so what's going on? I just got broken account though. It happened before the Xbox one one I migrated my account from a UK account to a US one yeah mine definitely started with the Xbox one I haven't
tried to purchase anything under 360 since then though you got a reason to now you
didn't try to purchase what about uh already had money in my wallet oh I see
walking dead season two came out I know he's playing yeah I fuck my safe I
another thing I hate my safe I got fucked I I can go toe to toe either that
my my mass effect to save file got fucked. I can go toe to toe either that, my Mass Effect 2 safe file got fucked.
Oh, dear.
Yeah, that sucked.
That's what I was like.
I'm one of the people who played all the way to Mass Effect 1.
So I was like carrying that thing for a while.
And then Mass Effect 3 came around,
I had a bunch of shit, I even recognized.
You don't back up your stuff.
Yeah, that was when I moved to CloudSaves
and I lost my memory.
So yeah, like I was trying to find something to move for whatever dumb reason. I lost my memory. Yeah, like I was trying to find that thing.
It was one of the things I didn't move for whatever dumb reason.
I found my memory stick and I like load the save and it's like it has me at the very end
of chapter two in season one.
So like all of three, all of four, all of five.
Wow.
So I'm going to go, but it has my 400 day save.
See, I just wouldn't do it again.
I've got to do it.
I can't start season two with people alive that should be dead. I cannot do that. I would fucking hate myself. Do you
know that they released for Mass Effect? They released some kind of tool
where like Gavin saying you could make those choices. It's really awesome. Yeah.
It's essentially like a graphic novel. Is that what the Mass Effect one? I
forget what it's called. Fuck. I mean, yeah, I'm gonna try to say I don't have that
for walking dead.
Regness be like, I wanna start my game this, this, this.
They might, but I wanna make all the choices.
What does that mean?
Well, no, you can get it.
Like, there's a lot of in consequential choices too.
Well, then why would you-
Like, I'm sure they're not gonna make a choice.
Why do you wanna make a choice?
I'm gonna make sure it's complete.
Like, Mass Effect 1, you play the graphic,
and I will think it's not everything in the game.
You wanna go through and set everything exactly the way you want.
But it's only not just the big story pieces.
But if it only is, it's only stuff that affects the actual outcome.
Yeah, what's that?
Yeah, what do you think comes to me to you?
It doesn't feel right to me.
Okay.
All right.
You might be crazy.
But if it has no, that's the equivalent of saying like,
oh, in this level, I fought it on this character.
And then I want to say,
There's later, you did fought on them,
but it has no way affected this thing.
You will have, you're going to know how to play through it this time. So you're not gonna
look in the wrong direction once and that can do. I know I believe me. I have agonized over this.
You're laughing and you're joking. I've thought about this. Like when I'm in the situation,
so I'm replaying it. I'm like, how did I play this the first time? Like what order did I explore?
I'm trying to like recreate it as basically as I can I'm a lunatic. You should present Jack bottom gun land in a field for a while
I'm just cool though. My Jack button will be when I finally get back because he's in two
Gus can I talk about something that might make you happy good because I have other stuff
I hate on my last year. I had I had I did say might make you happy. Yeah, just like you
I had a beer at most tavern in the Universal Studios. That was so awesome
It's so it's so surreal walking into that room. Make me angry. That's gonna make you angry
When I went they were out of Duff. Oh all Duff all three all the three. They only had duck dark. Okay, rough life
Yeah, I'd Duff dry. I don't think she's really really tasty. The flaming mose are non-alcoholic
Non-alcoholic that also kisses me off
Bartender was super nice bartender second. You're the only person in the world to get mad in Disney world
You got mad reversal. Oh, excuse me. Any more of us. We're working on the new Harry Potter stuff there when you were there
Yeah, I was under construction. Okay. Yeah, so do you know how did you deal with that? Oh my god
No, no, well, it says a new Harry Potter thing
So they have the old they have the Wizarding World of Harry Potter the islands of adventure. I'm gonna get super geeky
I'm getting this in your voice. I just ramping up. I get so excited about Team Park stuff. So at islands of adventure, they have a whole
wizarding world of Harry Potter, which is like the Hogwarts ride. They have its hogs mead,
so the three broomsticks is there. All of Anders Wandshop, which should be in...
You say this like I know.
Should we end up like three meads?
Three meads, still more.
Anyway, so they have that all there. But in the other park, because there's two theme parks
for Universal. There's islands of adventure in the universal studios.
So universal studios, they got rid of Amity Island
where they had the jaws ride.
Oh, that's really.
Yeah, well, it's, it's, it's,
actually it wasn't there when the park opened,
but anyway, so they got rid of that
and they took that space and they're building up
a London waterfront.
So it looks like London from the front.
You go inside Kings Cross Station,
and I don't, maybe, maybe you go inside
and there's the Leaky Cauldron, which is like the, yeah, you go on the the leaky cauldron and then you walk through there and you're in die-gone alley is the leaky cauldron
Actually a cauldron or is it a place it's a place?
It's a it's basically a tavern
Care and so you go through there and then you're in die-gone alley, which is like you know where they have all the wizarding stuff
And they go with books and things and then they they're they're building a green gots ride which is green, you know, where they have all the wizarding stuff and they go with books and things. And then they're building a green gots ride, which is green gots is the the wizarding base.
This space, just leave it on bunny space all the time.
It's the wizarding bank. That's where like all the people have all their their money and everything.
So they're building a ride in there and there's going to be a dragon on top of the building, which is cool.
And they're building a train that goes from there all the way over to the other park.
Like there's a big deal. Is that like a big deal?
Yeah.
And I also have problems in 2008, like were they affected
by the financial crisis?
Was there like a wizarding mortgage scandal?
I feel like a caveman who you just explained the phone to.
I said exactly how I feel right now.
So anyway, it looks really, really cool.
It's supposed to open like this summer.
And so I'm gonna have to go back and go check it out.
Here's what I do know about.
It's so weird how people are different.
Like you would have to pay me to go and see that.
Why?
Because I just,
because it's really home for you.
Massively, just don't care about Harry Potter.
No?
The people are just so different.
We're very different people.
When we went to the,
we did not go to the,
the traveling museum show,
the Lord of the Rings production.
I didn't get that with you, did I?
Yeah, they did a, they did did a traveling, like an exhibit,
museum exhibit that we went around,
and I saw it actually in New Zealand.
I thought it was in Houston at one point.
That's the closest got to Austin.
Is that what it was?
Yeah, and I went to that,
and I went to the Harry Potter one,
didn't know anything about Harry Potter at the time.
And it was, you're right.
It was like, one, I was like,
I was like, okay, these are close, you know what I mean?
And the other one, I was like,
whoa, they made chain mail.
I see, you know, yeah. Was the one in New Zealand was at the Tupapa? these are close. You know what I mean? And the other one I was like, whoa, they made chain mail. You know, the one in New Zealand was at the Tupapa.
Tupapa.
Was that what you did with you?
Yeah, we held hands.
It was awesome.
It was in Wellington.
I think it was our first trip down in New Zealand.
It was, we went out there.
It was a chapter catch, like the Lord of the Rings museum exhibit
at the, oh, I went to that place with you then,
but it wasn't any Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, I think we went to get a beer.
Yeah, we went to get a beer.
It's right, it's out there. Monssoon poons kind of close to the top of our
I remember I just like that further. Poon monsoon poons so fucking good isn't
Which is with brooms and stuff. Yeah, go ahead isn't that because they used to wedge the broom handles up themselves that I think is a
I believe that's that was something they they use as propaganda that they would take they would put psychedelics
On the end of a broom handle and put it in their vagina and then that's where the calm the modern image of a which
Writing a broom comes from
Roman a totally different way, but that was made up that was made up to
Like in one piece of propaganda. This became like a thing like I also learn this
Did you know Napoleon was normal or above average height? No idea they just started that rumor about him to disparage him his enemies
Well, they was short that he was short. Yeah, sorry that he was short did Hitler only have one ball
Was that a myth to I don't know man. I never heard that yeah Hitler only has one ball the others in the alcohol was how's that runger?
What his mother has the other
Is this like stuff you learn? This is like,
we're under on the road. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. There's something involving
it. Let's testicles. If you bomb the UK, they're going to make rhymes about you.
We've only had one college mascot.
College mask. College mask.
Masked us are strange. But we'd have things like become the opposite over time. Like I just
learned that the literal interpretation of turn the other cheek means to hit
somebody in the face because you're turning their other cheek. That's the
literal that's the literal interpretation. That's the opposite of what we
opposite. And the phrase I for an I means that you should like what does that
phrase mean? I for an I. that means if they stab out your eye
You can stab out your eye. You should take revenge on some of the hammer. If you're wrong. You have the right to yeah, you should
It's a thing for revenge right it's actually a limitation of punishment that if someone takes your eye
You can't kill them. You can only take their eye like so it's supposed to be a limitation of
Not revenge that what you're entitled to yet Yeah, not a reason for that more.
Yeah, don't take that.
I'm a Robbie.
Hemarabi.
I believe.
Hemarabi.
Yeah.
So that's just his funny commitment.
Did you?
Yeah, I'm drunk.
I know the thing I hate.
Drunk quotes quotes.
Why?
I don't know.
I feel like people who post quotes all the time is,
his Twitter feed give you very, I hate quotes.
That's a real,
you just fucked me.
I feel like, is it because we started typing to you
with everything in quotes that one day?
No, this is not the quotation marks.
People who find profound meaning in quotes,
I feel like, you're like deep,
like you can't internalize,
you can't make the thought yourself.
So you look to someone else who's made the thought
and then latch onto that.
And then you fucking spam it all over social media.
It's inspiration.
No, fuck that.
It's a collective process.
The role going here.
If you can't handle me at my worst,
you don't deserve my best, all that fucking Maryland,
all that fucking fake quotes too.
I'll just bullshit.
I see that all the time.
Now, where like I see like a picture of Marilyn Monroe
with a quote and I'm like, there's no way she said that.
Look it up.
Oh, that's a lady Gaga quote.
It's like, there's like people like people
are just putting shit in quotes
and just attributing it to people.
What the fuck does this even mean anymore?
Is it matter of late guess?
This is me off.
What is that?
But it's like, but it mattered to them.
Obviously, it mattered to someone who found a picture
and then put her name on there.
So do you agree that any woman who says if you can't handle me
My worst you didn't serve me my best. That's like a terrible thing to say, right? It is it is like what is back
It is the biggest red flag there. Yeah. Yeah
Red flag and there's I've been over the girls apartments where it's on their wall like oh
Frames around
on their wall like frame around
you're jacked something i'm in a few
I had no phone
and everything is good again
hey Gavin
he's here comes Gavin from a conference call
I had a
I had an ex-girlfriend where we have an
an argument
and she was like
I finally like calmed everything down
it was like a really long conversation cost me a, because I was in France at the time.
And it's having this like really long conversation.
I'm like, actually cost me that at the time.
What was in France a month earlier?
When it still cost me money.
The, the phone bill was actually more than the plane ticket
that I took to France.
Oh, but anyway, I calmed everything down. And everything was fine again. I was like oh this might be
salvageable. There's a really bad argument. That's a really bad thought by the way.
And then salvageable. And then she said you should treat me like a princess.
And I literally just went to an extent and then she just goes, boom, and I hung up. That was it, it was over. Go ask them a plane ticket. Yeah, the guy's like,
Jesus, that's too an excuse.
You should treat me like a princess.
You shouldn't treat something like a princess.
Well, because that's weird.
It is weird.
Just like bowing down to them and doing all this stuff.
That's not how I want to treat a princess.
Is that what you meant to go?
Is that what you meant?
Do you think that's what you meant?
I want you to bow down to me.
No, I just like...
No, she's not a damn princess.
It's really cool people.
To an extent.
Back and forth. To an extent, back and forth.
To an extent.
So how do you treat Kate Middleton or whatever?
Like a princess.
You treat a princess like a princess.
You're fucking curtsy.
You're proper.
You bow.
So this podcast is airing December 23rd.
Right?
Right before Christmas.
So it made me want to ask everyone, if you think back about all the Christmas
presents you ever received, what's the best Christmas present you ever got?
Any age like when you think about, like,
any age like, what's the back of all your whole life?
Five years old, I got PlayMobile Pirate Ship.
And it's like the greatest thing of my life is that PlayMobile Pirate ship.
I think it costs $50, which in 1954 dollars.
What it was like, it was like the greatest thing ever.
It's like I wanted it forever and I got it
and it took me and my dad about four hours
to set the damn thing up and it was fucking awesome.
They still make it this day every time I see it
in the window of a shop.
And the place that's like cell play mobile in the US
are the worst toy shops.
It's like all this toys you don't want.
All these like lousy like independent toys.
And then I always see the Play Mobile Pirate shape.
And I'm just like, ah, I love it.
I think it's still 50 bucks to this day.
But that's it, that's mine.
I would say either the Lego monorail,
I love that thing or my NES.
I think it was a five or six when I got my NES.
Mm.
Was that a Christmas thing?
Like when did that launch?
You don't know.
I have no idea.
I feel like they they soft launched.
I want to say like in November, December,
but it was like a super low key launch.
And then they I'm sure I didn't get it when it launched.
I mean, oh, again, I was five or six years old.
I don't remember any of that, but yeah, that's pretty.
I remember playing Super Nintendo just non-stop.
Yeah, you would I mean,
playing Nintendo Super Mario Brothers non-stop.
Yeah, you would have, I mean, you would have been younger
when any of us launched.
It came out what was it? 83. When you say that's a
more than you know, then I don't know. Wait, 86, I want to say. Okay, yeah. So I would
have been, I would have been four when it came out. So it's probably five.
A little older. Yeah. What about you, Gavin? Have you ever got a
person you care about? Yeah, I got this from an extra car. It's called like rebound or something,
but it, it could drive upside down. I remember that. Yeah. And I would just drive
into people's shins. It'd be like, and it would roll up their shins turn around and then just do it again. So I'd just be like,
I'm just a fast thing ever. Christmas day, I was just trashing people's kneecap. I didn't
realize that it would you go out. I thought it did like, went up and then came back in the opposite
direction. God. It would drive up the wall turn around. But then I think you could turn it,
you could steer it the other way. But if you just kept holding it up, it would just like,
just keep going up the wall. It's like your origin story
Perth of a cunt I remember seeing those commercials
I don't think I haven't freestore it. I think for me
It's probably my SNES. I didn't get it any S for Christmas, but I remember getting an SNES
Yeah, I think it was like the year it came out maybe and so it was a couple months after it came out
October 18th 19th, D5 was the NES so it was a couple months after it came out. October 18th, 1985 was the NES.
So it was, you know, I probably got a 86.
I probably got it the next year.
I think it was yeah, it took a while to catch on.
There was a lull after a Tari.
Well, they sold that as a toy.
That's why they had the whole Rob robot
or the robot attachment.
Well, so that like toys the Russ would sell it
and toy stores would sell it and not think of it as a video game
because video games were so black,, I guess the Atari fallout.
Yeah.
So that was, I mean, the robot was just a Trojan horse to get it on shelves as a toy.
Yeah.
The Atari dropout was so fast, you'll read about the manufacturing units, the manufactured
for Pac-Man right at the end of the life cycle for Atari and the ET game is probably the
most famous one where they put in landfills. I want to say that they manufactured more Pac-Man cartridges than Atari consoles
existed because they thought they would drive sales of the Atari console because Pac-Man
was like it was a phenomenon. And that Pac-Man port was terrible. Oh it's awful. Pac-Man
on the 2600 is a fucking piece of shit. What was that about it? Thank, thank, thank, thank, man. It was like so slow and everything was so blocky
It like it wasn't it wasn't the same game like if you looked at it
You'd be like oh the Pac-Man rip off. Oh, no, that wasn't the same. The maze wasn't the same
No, it was a one-mayz Pac-Man
He's gonna get that one maze right who was it that was showing me a video from the 80s about what was hot for Christmas
Presence say it was, do you see that?
I thought it was all right.
And then it showed one of those plasmables, like the glass
gloves we can touch him.
And it was like $1,800.
It's like, are you serious?
But for that, they're like sharper image product.
They're like 30 bucks now.
Yeah, you can get those.
And that's like an 80s money.
That's like, you know, three grand now.
I didn't realize that like whenever you see one of those
in like a really old piece of TV or something,'s really a lot of money yeah it's like that was
like they spend a lot of budget on that it's like that was like the cool the cool thing to have
was that the lava lamp what is is there different air in those though that's it do that I don't
know I never really thought about that I want to smash one slow mo but I don't want to get
electrocute you don't get electrocute you know you I'm gonna do it yeah I'm gonna dand it
there you go I'm also just get a wooden handle on the hammer.
You're fine.
I'm not sure how I'd even film actually,
because we need so much light for slow mode.
It might actually drown out the plasma light itself.
Yeah, well, I walked down history, you know,
but memory lane here, it's a Atari produced 12 million units
of Pac-Man, which was more than a number of Atari 2600
consoles sold at the time, anticipating than a number of Atari 2600 consoles
sold at the time, anticipating a high number of sales
that would drive the sale of the console too.
I don't think they called it console, but.
It was the best selling video game of all time
when it was released, but it was critically paying
with customers returning the game in large quantities.
I think they did call it a console.
The 2600 was the VCS.
I think I want to say that's the video console system.
Fair enough, okay.
Video game crash, the video game crash of 193 also known as Atari shock in
Japan was a massive recession in the video game industry that occurred from
1983 to 1985.
Revenues that had peaked about 3.2 billion in 93 fell to around 100
million by 1985.
3.2 billion to 100 million.
Wow. What is that? What's the industry now?
That's like a 3% left. What's the industry now? That's like a 3% left.
What's the industry now?
It's like a 100 billion a year or something.
Video computer system.
Yeah, the computer system,
so we more than make sense.
Yeah, it's huge.
Yeah, it's enormous.
I've seen people doing like some doomsday kind of stuff
where they're like tweeting me
or people are writing articles about how
the video game industries do for another
like a tarry type crash. They dropped 97% the market dropped 90% in two years.
It's not gonna, I don't see that happening.
I don't think it'll ever happen.
I feel like it's gonna collapse on itself.
Not like that.
I mean, it's gonna be more mainstream.
I remember it.
It's like the video game FAD was over.
Like video games were a FAD.
And it's hard to think of it that way, but they were done.
And then the NES came out.
And it was like, can you imagine that with like a
current medium like movies, a movie's a, movies a lame now.
Right. We don't make movies.
Hey, man, we still walk around with phones.
You know, I mean, it's like, yeah, it's like it just went away.
But arcades definitely went away.
I mean, our kids get that off.
Yeah, it's, it's weird.
And arcades now, when you go on one, they're horrible.
I miss our kids, man.
Yeah, they were cool.
Yeah.
That was my first job ever was on a day
I will say what you know be fun to do we should go and you're about the only guy I could think they would do with me
Let's go to the 20 galaxies. Okay, cuz that would be that we've lost it. Oh not Oklahoma. Where's that the thing is minutes?
I thought it was like Wisconsin or
I was midwest place. Oh, I'll look it up put a galaxy's a famous arcade where they like preserve all a bunch of old things
We have a cool one. They're like pinballs, but they just have too many pinball machines.
That's also really hot in there.
Yeah, it's not like that.
It's not like that.
It's also really hot.
It's really hot in there.
I would love to travel halfway across country with gusts to go to a guy's, I think it's
nice to warm.
Yeah, we have a couple arcades in Austin.
We have pinballs, which is a pinball arcade, and then we have arcade UFOs.
That's the whole round. Yeah, yeah
I went there just the other day. Yeah, I'm Speedway. They have a four player versus Pac-Man. Do it there
That's cool kids loved it. They thought it was awesome
Yeah, that was one of the few places in America. They got a street. I love twin guy
I will okay, we filmed some of the Atari kit at arcade UFO really the DDR scenes. Okay. We're filmed there
That's cool so four days from now I hate when in the middle of the day your Twitter accounts are just saying
It's I will I will you know
We were talking about this. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna I want you I want sure why not I'll do it good
Bragg about it not much there
It smells like oatmeal. It's smelled like oatmeal. I didn't even the oatmeal smell wicked. You think like oats
What was I say that say what you mean guys smell like oats?
I would see the rapids my whole job. There was a fucking the plant that made fucking pencils and pants
The job you bitch about this job. This job you quit working with me to go work at this other job
I know it was awesome. You know it's just excuse why he left the job where we all worked together
I feel like I should that That was his really his reason.
He goes, he goes, he goes, he was young and he goes, I feel like I should, I should
change jobs every two years or some, some bum thing.
I feel like that's still a mindset that a lot of people who work like in the tech industry
have, especially like on the West Coast, like in San Francisco, people hop all the time
from like startup to startup.
Uh, but usually for a reason reason he was just leaving because he felt
like he couldn't work in this job and he'd hit two years and that's it. It was
it was really it was a very straightforward reason and that's why he left
job. That's like the equivalent answer just like yeah. Yeah. But he was going to
this job to then leave that job too. Like the job two years. Yeah.
An expiration date. And I did I think I was there two and a half.
So why just stay 10 at this one?
This one's all right.
This one's not man.
It's all right.
This one changes on a daily basis.
I can sit here and drink.
Get a drink beer on a company time.
So do we want to talk about the big controversy
that's going on now, which may have blown over
by the time this airs, but the Duck Dynasty guy
and all that hubbub about that?
I was gonna take all the controvers so I can think of right now.
I didn't even think of that one at all.
Yeah, the Duck Dynasty guy.
I don't watch the show.
One of the old guys.
Yeah, one of the old guys made,
you didn't interview with GQ and made a bunch of,
I don't even think home of phobic is the right word.
It's like anti gay comments,
where he was like saying that it's a sin.
They're very religious, I guess.
And he was like, you know, being basically being a hick, you know
I mean, and just like talking about how he quates. I have to read the quote and take that basically started down that path where it's like
Homosexuality leads to bestiality and then on from there. It's like we let two men marry then they're gonna marry turtles
Yeah, it's like what yeah exactly. It's like you yeah, it was it was it was really bizarre But I mean, I just wonder it's like what do you expect from that guy, you know?
You you shine a spotlight on this fucking person. Yeah, of course you're gonna see this
Clamp it basically like they found they found oil and now he's suddenly super rich and yeah, I'm excited about will be like oh the old fashioned
People just to be dead. I think I think I think I've mentioned this on the podcast before,
but to this day when I run into a really old white person,
in my head I was like, this person was around when racism was cool.
Like, what was this person doing?
They were on board.
Yeah, like, what were they complicit?
Were they on board?
Here's his quote, I'll try to read his best I can.
It seems to me to the accent.
It seems like to me of a jyna as a man
would be more desirable than a man's anus.
That's just me, I'm just thinking.
There's more there, she's got more to offer.
I mean, come on dude, you know what I'm saying?
But hey, sin, it's not logical, my man, it's just not logical.
That's his quote.
Now let's have family dinner.
Also, why would a GQ interview in the sky?
Yeah, that's his story.
It's the fucking GQ.
Duck Dynasty is huge.
Like go to a Walmart, go to a Target.
There is Duck Dynasty shit everywhere.
Not for long.
You know what else was big once, Erkel?
He's not in the cover of GQ.
It's the thing where it happens in America
where we celebrate stupidity.
And it drives me fucking crazy.
Paras well make a very good living at that jack.
No, like, no, absolutely, no, absolutely do.
Like Paris Hilton, like Paris Hilton, she was a porn star and they celebrated how dumb she was by putting it on a goddamn TV show.
Yeah, I think I think I think I've been through what you're going through.
It's not really dumb that bothered me and maybe it's what you're saying for you.
It's the shamelessness. Yeah.
There's no just like like books are books are for learning people like that.
It's like no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like don't celebrate.
That's dumb.
Why are we putting spotlights on these morons and it's like and then people from other
countries see this like, oh well Americans are completely stupid.
It's like, well, that one is and that's the one we're elevating up and it drives me
nuts.
I didn't realize how big duck dynasty was. It, but they played that it's like the biggest cable show
It might be yeah, they played the slow-mo guys clip on there because this is one of the episodes like they're showing the old
Guide because they wanted to make a viral video yeah, yeah
Every time that's on I get like a thousand tweets
And that's not even an exception to a huge show to huge show
Yeah, it's just it's it drives me crazy to see that stuff get like so sell it like like,
you love Jackass. Well, I like Jackass. But it's like, Jackass is those guys,
you know, clearly being dumb for the sake of being dumb. No, you're rationalizing.
Okay. Maybe I am the flavor of the life. But then I see, I see like honey Boo Boo. And
it's like, why is honey Boo Boo suddenly incredibly important to this country I
Get it but that the I've seen online the episode of toddlers and tears that she was on and she's funny. It's shit, dude
But we are it's idiocracy it like watch idiocracy and tell me that is not happening to this country I get it. I was me crazy. I get it like I literally have friends like I have like smart friends like we're not gonna have kids
We're not gonna have kids.
We're not bringing kids in this world.
Not smart friends.
And then you have more.
He's talking about me.
By the way.
But yeah, like, like, like, you an S or you're not,
you're not playing a half-childrened game.
But then you have friends that I knew from high school
that like, they had five kids already.
And like, they're, you know, 30 years old,
they have five children.
And it's like, wow, no, you're red neck
who works at gas station.
Why do you have five kids?
And why, why, why not? Why, why not? What, you're dumbing down the at gas station. Why do you have five kids and why not that?
You're dumbing down the planet. Let him do what they want
Infected me with anger. I've got a few years left and after that. That's what I always said like he always does that
I have the old office
You and Matt tried to start a recycling program, and I would actively fight it by throwing trash in it be like
It's like it's like I'm not gonna
Put myself into trouble to make the world a better place for your kids
It's like I only need the world to be good for another 30 years or so then after that who cares?
Leave it like a raisin. It's like I don't want any inconvenience in my life. I just fucking burn it out
Then what I'm dead do you know what I leave your mark on the planet?
Yeah fucking charred no
What I'm dead do you know what I leave you'll mock on the planet. Yeah, I fucking charred
Scorched skies
Like a real world in the matrix
It was getting attacked by computer squids. Oh, man
So, and I would I mean like even honey boo-boo I've heard people say that if you watch it's actually like the underlying stories is actually a really close knit family
I will say the the mother on the show I forget what her name is but what are the mother on the show is taking the money
They're making off of that show and basically putting it into a trust fund that the kids can't touch until they're 18
So that's cool. It's like okay, I get that like they recognize what they have is kind of lightning in a bottle
And so they're not just blowing it on whatever like they're actually you know saving the money she's being smart about it so I respect that but you get lightning in a
bottle and like sell it like a plasmable that be there's classic example there's classic examples
that I think that in show business the biggest example of like what you're talking about there with
like kids and money is Mickey Rooney and I'll try to find the exact numbers on here too.
But I wanna say, I don't wanna look at it,
make sure I'm talking about the right person,
but I think Mickey Rooney, his parents just like took
all of his money from his child acting years,
and it's like in real world dollars,
it was an extraordinary amount of money.
I'll try to look it up while you guys talk about it.
Yeah, McCulloch and was like that, that right like his family was in charge of his money
And then they spent it all I think I've heard that before I don't know
Didn't need to divorce his parents or something. Yeah, I was in the US and you know, it's really like Kunis
Oh, you don't need the Coli Coli. Yeah
Yeah, like you got his parents split up right, but he also dated me
There was some news about McCullochon just recently where he started a band where they make songs all about pizza. It's awful. They know they cover
I want to say they cover velvet underground songs, but they change all the lyrics to be about pizza
It sounds like four dudes on heroin. Yes
Not that's why money isn't happiness because you just get all gleebo
Sorry, I wasn't making really Jackie Cougan. I looked at who played Uncle Fester
Yeah, that he was a kid who had a child career. So sorry not Mickey Rune. Yeah, I apologize
I'm sure you had great parents man. Did you see the trailer for 22 Jump Street? I did I finally watched it. It's terrible
It makes me so sad that the first movie was such a surprise and so great and the trailer for the second
Judging not good. It's it. I'm sure it's gonna be fine
I think you like like I think it's a matter of setting expectations
You probably went in with low expectations for 21 jump Street. I went in with low expectations. Keep them low
You'll be fine. All right. Well, maybe that's what it is setting the bar really low. Yeah, actually I guess we'll what
Anchorman two just came out right I saw it. Oh, they made another one. Yeah
I hadn't heard in the mill they've been fucking promoting them. We for three goddamn anger
Three goddamn legs of watching it's hunger man commercials about this fucking movie. How was it Gavin?
I don't know why I want to buy a Dodge Durango sold by Ron Burgundy
Do I want to watch him do the fucking news in North Dakota?
Sick of it. How was it Gavin?
All right over all right. It was that I'm not I don't really like the first one
I need to go check it out. I want to see that I want to see wolf of Wall Street
Bernie saw that
So good so good
Will go see wolf wall street kid and recommend enough. It's coming out
Tomorrow on Christmas wait two days two days from now on Christmas
You're watching the live stream and then one day if you're listening to the audio
I mean if you're gonna and if you listen to it in 20. Yeah, two days
You've got a midnight screening midnight screening. I got a big guarantee that midnight audiences will be you want a good audience
Would that be good? So here's Santa can leave you a present at the theater
Here you go. Here's the Kuggen bill as a child star. This is Jackie Kuggen. How's that?
He was uncle Fester. He played on confession in the Adams family the bald guy
Like old man his mouth a little. Yeah, but it's like he was a child star
He worked with Charlie Chaplin when he was a kid as a a child star, Kugen earned an estimated three to four million dollars
that equates to 48 to 65 million dollars adjusted for $2,012. But the money was entirely spent by
his mother and stepfather on extravagance extravagance such as fur coats diamonds and expensive
car. Kugen's mother and stepfather claimedie was just having fun and thought he was playing
not not acting and working um she stated no promises were ever made to jackie about anything
every dollar kid earns before he's 21 belongs to his parents jackie will not get a cent of his earnings
and she also claim that jackie was a bad boy implying that he didn't deserve it. Jack, he was such a bad boy.
We stole 48 million dollars.
Yes, up to 65 million bucks.
That is a bad fucking kid.
Really, you send him to bed without dinner.
That is a naughty, naughty kid without escarco.
Oh, they're eating them in 1938.
But after legal expenses, only received $126,000 of the
approximately remaining $250,000 of his earnings.
When Kuggen fell in hard times, he asked Charlie Chaplin for assistance and Charlie Chaplin
gave him $1,000 on the spot without hesitation.
But that's, I don't know what that equals in those dollars, but it was like a lot of money.
Crazy.
So now there's also to laws as the legal battle like led to the
California child actors bill often called the Kuggen law or the Kuggen act
This requires that a child's actors employer set aside 15% of the earnings it attrust and
codifies issues such as schooling work hours and time off I love the quote that
Any money a child earns before their 21 goes to the parents. Yeah, that's a medieval shit right there
But did America was a rough and tumble place like Like, I mean, kids were not, they were like, in, you
know, centuries and stuff like that. But if you get a job, are they saying that it goes to your
parents? It should literally what this was. No, I mean, like a normal job, like statue.
I just end this conversation. No, I don't, that place, like acting and stuff. I'm getting
told that I just like a, like a job. Like a job like a job. Wait. Yeah, yeah, where'd it go like should I give an award?
This idiot in 1938 this mother who spent
65 million dollars. I wouldn't know how to do that 1938. So that's still in the depression, right?
She probably just put a lot of
Problemable. Yeah, no, no, no, you're like towards the tail end. Yeah, it's the end
You're still in depression times and you're fucking baller-ass shit.
Like your extra baller.
I mean, you fucking depressed soup lines.
People not working, people jumping out of buildings, you're like fucking, like you're
fire with money.
You fucking burning dollar bills.
You're like, our kid is horrible.
Yeah, I can't go back.
I gotta do this and teach him a lesson.
God, what a nightmare.
Yeah, and those people just, I, those people just lived so big.
I mean, granted, you could make the argument
that the kid would not have gotten into acting.
I'm sure the kid is just wandering
into an audition by himself,
but that's just that's brutal.
Brutal.
Make reality show with that.
That makes me want to have a kid.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
Because I mean, got to admit too,
it's like if you start off a kid in acting,
that's not a normal childhood.
High probability it's gonna skew the kids of you on life to begin with. It
kind of almost like needs that money to like, you know, sustain that, you know, to not
just like, what's the kid going to go off and do?
Yeah, for every Leonardo DiCaprio, you've got like thousands and thousands of other kids
who just didn't make it.
Who won't name because they'll sue?
Yeah.
Because they're looking for a revenue stream.
Yeah.
They need money. Yeah. You heard about looking for a revenue stream. They need money.
Yeah.
You heard about that kid who was too rich to deal with issues.
Apple wins.
I don't, I don't, I don't, this will make me mad.
I don't want to talk about it.
That's, that's un-fucking, but there's actually,
there's actually, there's actually,
that happened to hear in Texas.
Why don't you go ahead and tell it, you know what it is?
Yeah, I'm bad at telling that, the news.
So basically, this kid, he, uh, he was drunk.
He was, I think 16.
I want to say at the time he might have been 50.
Yeah, so he was young, 15 or 16 years old, and he was drunk driving and he hit a car or
something. Basically, he killed four people while he was driving drunk. They arrested him.
They took him to jail or they took him to whatever it's a courts in jail. The judge
let him off because he had never been responsible in his life and he was like anything
he did basically he wasn't responsible for it because his parents would pay for it because
of that he couldn't be held responsible for what he had done.
Because he was so rich and because he was so irresponsible he could not be held responsible.
Because he was never held responsible.
They call it affluenza so which is basically like he's so his parents are so out there.
They should give it a worse name than that.
Yeah, like about you know being an asshole.
But now cancer.
I'm a crisis.
Listen, it's one of those things where there's a criminal law case where whether
they're not this kid's going to jail and then the judge is like, oh, you know,
we see about verdicts there.
Then there's going to be the civil lawsuits and those those have already started.
That's totally different, dude.
Can I ask a question?
Like, oh, he's since it was never convicted of murder, but he got his ass suit off by the
guy. Well, the thing about the civil lawsuit is like oh like you know, sorry
My my client is too rich to go you know my client is too rich to be held responsible like okay
We can solve that problem. Yeah, you know, they are gonna take these guys for all their work the judge
The judge let that go right ultimately the goldmins
I think put OJ Simpson and jail because they suit him for money
Then you try to hide all of his stuff and then remember he got
Jail for breaking into a sports memorabilia
place. I was invading when it happened someone basically,
say it was something with his memory. Yeah, they're trying to
get his Heisman back. Yeah. And I would that happened in Vegas.
I was there when it happened. That's good. I think we're both
there. Yeah, it was, it happened at the Palm. I want to say, but
we were at the, we were on the strip. We're like at the
blog. He said it up like he was going to buy some memorabilia
or like he had someone say he was going buy some OJ Simpson memory, Belia
And the guy showed up and OJ was waiting for him there in the room
Yeah, and then they're basically like they they kidnapped a guy like they held him
They're like give us our stuff back and anyway, but well, we're we're a
Anyway, what are you gonna say you're gonna say something though
I don't know you were I don't remember. Yeah, but that's crazy
The other thing though I want to point out there which we hadn't brought up and I keep meaning to bring this up
Is that I don't know I should I should know and it makes me sad that I don't there's a kid in Texas who is thrown in jail
Because he made a comment on a forum or social
Oh, it's a
Marcus it was a Marcus. Yeah, it was a gaming thing and someone goes you're crazy and he goes
Yeah, I'm crazy. I'm gonna go blow up a school. And they threw this fucking kid in jail
for making a crack on a forum.
Yeah, they took it out of context,
then you got sent to jail.
I don't believe you.
The legend he was playing.
And it was the quote, taken out of context.
It looks like it, but it just dudes yacking on a forum.
And literally, the quote does say,
oh, yeah, right, I'm so crazy.
And I can totally read the tone of it,
even out of context.
Yeah.
And it's like, this kid was tossed in jail for making terrorist attacks.
He's talking about like, boom, go blow on up a school.
Right.
Like, rain wet blood or something like that.
Isn't it meant to be like free speech in this country or something there?
Like, you know, it's a terroristic speech, though.
Yeah, you can't make threats.
Like, yeah, you can't, like, you can't threaten the panic.
Yeah, you can't threaten the president.
You can't cite panic.
There's a few things you're saying.
There's no free speech.
Yeah, there's free speech except for a few minor a few exceptions it's like you
if you're in danger of other people essentially free speech is a weird thing
like this came up with the duck dynasty thing too because a and e the network
behind duck dynasty fired the dude or indefinitely suspended them and now
people are are boyconning this like oh it's up about free speech people get free
speech out of line to you like like this is the thing about being in jail. That's actually a free speech at you. But the first, the first
amendment is specifically says Congress will make no act to a bridge people's speech.
But like if a place like throws you out or if any fires you for saying something, you really
don't have any rights. Yeah. Because they're not Congress. They're not making a law that
says you can't say it, but they can fire you for saying it. So yeah, if someone goes on a racist tirade, their company can absolutely fire them. You're like, all right, they're not making a law that says you can't say it, but they can fire you for saying it. So, if someone goes on a racist tirade, their company can absolutely fire them.
You're like, alright, fuck you.
They have the right to stand on the street corner and say that if they want.
Yeah, Congress is going to do anything, but they're going to have to suffer other repercussions
for that.
Yeah, my personal opinion, especially with the Duck Dinosaur thing is, is it's such a
weird like thing.
He's like, this guy shouldn't have said it, but he can say it if he wants
to, but he shouldn't have. Annie can fire him, but they probably shouldn't have. You know
what I mean? It's like one of those things that's like, but they did fire him. And I totally
agree. You know, if that I, that's fine. If they want to fire him, I get it. And they're
with well within the rights to fire him. Same time. My personal opinion is if someone's
going to be dumb and do something like that, I would be totally content. Maybe not to pay the dude, but I would be totally content to let somebody
very blatantly stand on the wrong side of history.
You know what I mean? You're just watching them of like,
do you really want to be that dude?
Like you know 30 years from now, that's gonna be the test of time.
You know you're on the wrong side of history.
You know? It's just like, I still can't believe when I see people like yelling at black people at a counter.
You know what I mean? And they know the photographers photographers then they want to be seeing yelling at the black
It's like how did you not know that you were gonna look like a maniac for the rest of eternity?
Yeah, you know, I did just like it's amazing to me. I'm
