Hello everyone welcome to RISD Podcast this week brought to you by Harry's nature box and Squarespace I wish every week was brought to us by Harry's Naterbox and Squarespace.
Well, this week definitely is podcast number 365,
the leapier podcast.
Oh, that's right.
Not happening again until your 2044
when I'll be long in the cold, cold ground retirement.
No, you will be alive.
I'm Gavin.
Miles.
And I'm awesome.
Did you know this is the first
Fifth Monday of this month since 1988 the first fifth Monday of February Yeah, why do you know that? Why do you know that because I was born in 1988? Oh?
We born in February. No, no
I was just like when's the last time this happened on this Monday. What is a blue moon Gavin?
Have you heard the expression once in a blue moon? Yeah.
What is a blue moon?
That's where the moon goes, weird.
Nope.
Like, yeah, well, okay, go ahead.
Did it go like, because it goes yellow sometimes, it goes like big and yellow.
It's a harvest bang.
Yeah.
A blue moon.
Gus, you know?
Um, it's...
No, I don't know.
I was just talking about it.
Really, guys don't know this.
Interesting.
No idea. This goes to the thing where Gavin called me out
And I freely admitted that I had never done the math on it or notice the pattern that every year
We go up a day and then leap here resets it like I'm gonna pay 9th of December doesn't know
On Monday and then the next year it'll be on a Tuesday then the next year will be on Wednesday
Whoa, you know he's gonna spend we can't see get miles and no either. I don't know a lot. I knew that
Do you want a cookie?
What do you want?
I'm just saying I'm head of their miles.
So you like to say something, say your birthday
was on a Thursday, right?
Sure.
In your head, do you not think in,
yes, next year my birthday's on Friday.
No, I never even think about that.
I constantly, like people would be like,
oh yeah, Easter was on a Sunday, whatever this,
I guess Easter's always a Sunday isn't it?
Yeah. That's a good, excellent example, Kyle. I'll be so and so was on a Sunday, whatever this I guess Easter is always a Sunday isn't it? Yeah.
But we would be like
an excellent example, though.
We would be so and so was on a Tuesday last year
and I just go, how do you know that?
I'm gonna go,
because it was on a such and such the year before.
I'm like, is that a thing?
And I don't know, I just don't pay attention to that shit.
I got a buddy mind who can remember dates
like the drop of hat I can remember any date.
I can remember date.
Going all the way back to my college together.
The 19th.
I remember it. Yeah. So day. I can remember day. I can remember it. The 19th.
I remember it.
So a blue moon is the second full moon in a month.
That's the way I've always learned it.
And it also can mean, I guess, an additional full moon in a season when it's a month.
It's like a sad moon, right?
The second sad moon in a month.
Yeah, there's two full moon.
So it likes it a month.
Then it's the second one is a blue moon.
Man, that's not as rare as I thought it was, huh but how how that's got to be kind of rare right like what's that happen?
Like once a year or something I don't know what's the cycle on the moon?
What does that mean that there's a full moon days 20 days here we go
Right into astronomy, so let's talk about space. Who was it?
Welcome bunny team. Can you talk about space?
There you go. Does that mean that the the first day of a month was a full moon and chances are before
the end of the month happens again?
Well, I mean, it's like, I mean, it's a very sad pattern, but if it is the first day of
a month as a full moon, then there will be another full moon in that month.
Well, like the first day is always a new moon.
No, you're correct.
Not a new moon, a full moon.
You want to get two full moons in one month.
If you start with a new moon, you're probably not going to get to full moves, but what what is the second new moon of the month called?
Oh, I don't think it's called anything black moon. I don't know
I don't know what is the second new moon of a month. I don't think it's a term for that. There's no term for the
No, you know what a blue one was but now he's quizzing me what a what a new moon twice in one month
I mean blue moon blue moon what it's called what is it called what is happening? I have the same socks miles
Yeah, no, I got these
Oh, I don't have
Those are different when shopping with with John rising her over over the weekend. Are they his shoes?
No, these are these my friend's Steve shoes
I can use some nice shoes
Because every I finally I got new pants because every pair of pants I own has a hole in
Black move and like that's what it's called.
I've never heard that before.
It's Wikens did it.
So, you know, people who died out thousands of years ago
or who live in East Austin.
That's the only people who would call it that.
Have you ever met a Wikens?
I don't think I know any Wikens.
Probably, you probably know who X Wikens.
I think I know an X Wikens as well.
Yeah, we got a friend who's gotta be part Wikens.
She does part Wikens. Like she gets Wikens. She does sound therapy. I know an ex-wicking as well. Yeah, we got a friend who's got to be part wicking. She does part wicking.
Like, she gets wicking.
She does sound therapy?
I know, you are not.
That's a four.
So where they get together, they have sounds.
And those are...
Wait, I mean, he'll the earth with sound.
Like sounding?
They'll steal my Facebook feed with a bunch of crabs.
So how does that work?
You just get like a bunch of big speakers.
You point them at the ground and like play some Led Zeppelin.
No, you get people who are...
People in China
So my I don't think I've ever been on a podcast module if I have been it's been a very long time very long time
We're decided to break the street and bring miles out. Yeah, I was like I was like who else is on the podcast and you're like oh
It's Bernie Gavin. I was like oh normally. I'm just like B team, but all right cool. So we step it on up
and he was like, oh, it's Bernie and Gavin. I was like, oh, normally I'm just like B team,
but all right, cool, sweet.
You're stepping on the babs.
I'm like, what are you doing tonight?
Yeah, what is Barbara doing tonight?
I don't know.
I'm like, I'm just using like,
aster for no reason.
I'm really funny.
I'm gonna get her out every now and then.
All right, fair play.
You gotta bring some of the people in.
You gotta give her some time off.
Don't wanna work with a desk every Monday.
Just you jerks.
Oh, you're still not drinking, are you?
No, still water.
Whoa, when did that happen?
Last week.
Last week.
Why?
Esther didn't bet him, but made him him not drink anymore to prove that he's not
an alcoholic. I so I have to go two weeks without drinking.
Oh, you can do that. People were upset. I guess last week we started talking about my
drinking habits. And then we we shipped it away to another topic and I think people thought
that the conversation was getting too sad and we were slowly realizing that I wasn't
actual alcoholic. Never works that way. That's not the case.
We all know when acknowledged the fact
that I'm a drinking problem.
We just laughed at it, we're not sad about it either.
It was actually really hard at first.
At this point, I think it's,
I can, two weeks is up on Saturday.
So I've been,
so funny how he knows that.
It's been, yeah, it was days, man.
Saturday's coming up, 12 o'clock one a.m.
It was really hard to not drink at first.
It's easier now, but I still really want to drink. I feel, I find it's super easy to not drink. I find it super easy not drink at first. It's easier now, but I still really want to drink.
I feel I find it super easy to not drink.
I find it super easy not drink as well.
It's because we don't have problems.
Like if there's a beer in front of me,
if someone said, you know, there's beer that you can't drink,
I'd be like, all right, that's so well.
I was like, it's it.
Yeah, I guess I know.
I don't have that either, but I totally recognize
that people have that.
I mean, I have people in my life who it's like,
that I'm very genetically similar to,
and they like, I mean, alcohol is like in my life who it's like that I'm very genetically similar to and they like I mean alcohol is like they can't resist it
You know, but I'm I I'm that way with something
I'm that way with craft carts like craft service cards. Oh God. What I was on a movie set the last two days last week
And there was a fucking craft service card and I was just like I'm like I'm eating right
I'm not not gonna do anything and I'm just over there like I
Want whizzler.
And he's like, on a movie set, they have this cart,
it's got all these snacks on it,
just follows you wherever you go.
It's always there.
So it's just like, I'm not good with that.
Now we have those here at these producers,
like what we did the Metal Gear immersion.
It was like, I was just seated by the cart,
just eating, I think I talked to you about it.
I was like, I don't want any of this stuff,
I'm just eating it because it's here.
And you were careless. They had beef jerky and I used to you about it. I was like, I don't want any of this stuff. I'm just eating it because it's here. And you were careless.
They had beef jerky and I used that to my advantage.
And on that shoot, there was also a cart for the dogs.
For the dogs.
What?
You didn't see it?
You're making that shit up.
I didn't see a lot of dogs.
I didn't see a lot of dogs.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
We didn't see it.
The Metal Gear Emerge that we did the stealth one.
We had a couple of dogs in cages.
Yeah, they were John's dogs.
They were nice little happy dogs.
They would bark when they saw mine.
I thought it was a very good immersion, Miles.
It was a lot of fun.
It was a lovely one.
It was really, really cool.
It was great as a labby.
It was first turn as a scientist.
Yeah, I thought you did a great job as a scientist.
I hid in the box.
You blew me away with that science on that box.
Oh, thanks.
It was cool, because one of the first things I ever did
for the company was help out on the doom immersion shoot.
I remember that was the day where Jack's house got broken
into again, and I was like, man, I kind of wanted
to talk to that guy, but that's now the last thing I wanted to do.
It was the way it was.
What was the first thing that Miles ever worked on?
At Rouge teeth.
I know the answer.
This is a quiz for me. Yeah. We wanted two answers, I would accept. I know what he, I know what the first thing that Miles ever worked on at Rouge teeth. I know the answer. This is a quiz for me.
Yeah.
Just one of two answers I would accept.
I know what the first thing that Rouge teeth was.
RTX.
Yeah, I would accept that answer.
Go ahead.
He worked on getting into buildings.
I kicked him the fuck out when he first showed up.
That was that, it was that Congress.
I edited the bloopers for one of the shorts,
one of the seasons of shorts.
I don't remember which one it was,
but I remember. First on Congress probably season one. I't remember which one it was, but I remember.
First on Congress probably season one.
I guess, I don't know,
but I remember Brandon was like,
hey, did really good today.
How about I take you to lunch?
And I was like, golly gee, thanks.
And then we went around the corner
to bikinis and he watched the Texans game.
But it was cool, I went.
That's Brandon.
I went to that office a few times.
I helped add some stuff to help that on the way.
Transfer files, that was no thing help us.
We used to be a lot better about file management. Back when, I think help us like, we should be a lot better about file management.
Back when, I think we're still,
I think we're much better about file management
than we used to be.
The animation department is.
Goddamn right now.
Oh, buddy, L.S. is.
BrainHandman, let's go down.
BrainHandman has this fucking stack.
It's like a tower fight.
It's made out of hard drives.
It's like, it like sways like back and forth.
It's terrifying.
I just wanna kill him every time I see it.
It just drives me crazy.
So one thing that bothers me about, and this is getting kind
of picky, one thing that bothers me is like so people
talk about the touch storage here at the studio, right?
So it's like you want to connect to a server to get files
or transfer files and whatnot.
A NAS.
Right.
And it's like, OK, I'm going to browse to our file server.
There it is.
I'm going to open the drive.
Mac OS remembers the view that the last person in
that drive had. Oh yeah. Really? It's always like set up into the columns, it's not icons, it's set
reverse date by access, and then every folder is expanded. It's like what fucking monster came
through and left the folder like this? Who doesn't drill down into the folder? They're like, I'm just gonna expand every tree at the top level.
I hate it.
And find everything.
That arrow, the twist down and expands the folder, that should be a hold down.
You expand it and you have a look and you go, it should be spring.
It's like opening all the drawers in an office.
It's like walking into a file room and every file cabinet drawer is just open and folders
are just thrown out everywhere. I love that if that actually applied to real rooms like you go into a room
but it's the way the last person wanted it so it's like all decorated differently and everything's
tipped all over the floor and stuff. We so annoyed. It's really and I always secretly suspect that
it's Brandon who like expands all of these all of these trees and leaves them all open. So you kicked
seem out of you kicked miles out. Yeah. Do you still kick people out? Good move.
Yeah, I don't know them.
Yeah.
So you know everyone's face.
Most people, I think.
We now at the point where we have our meetings every Monday,
anytime somebody new is at the office,
they're like, shrug up in front of everybody.
You know, our new HR person,
such like, remember this face.
They're allowed to be here.
I go about your bullshit.
I got really annoyed again.
I got really annoyed at that.
Is anyone I'm gonna go to the mat?
There's only two people today.
Who do you think they can name both people?
I can name one of those people.
I can name both.
I can name both.
Go ahead.
Is it okay to say their names?
Why would it be?
First name, sure.
It was a geo.
Cool.
Yes, that's what she was going by.
She was a guy that she guys by.
And dude, Eileen.
Close. Irene. Was Ellie, wasn by. And dude, Eileen. Close.
Irene.
Was Ellie, wasn't it?
Ellie, that's right.
Yeah.
I think you guys got me nervous about it.
Yeah.
I wasn't here, so I didn't get.
Good, I'm sure you would have been
Johnny on the spot with that answer.
I don't know that.
I thought of that.
I mean, more than people from last week, Gavin,
since you were there for that meeting.
Becca.
No, she was through his guess.
Damn it, I guess. Last week, one of them was meeting. Becca. No, she was through. She's got that. I guess.
Last week, one of them was Nathan.
Mm-hmm.
Boom.
There you go.
You're such a people person.
I remember Geo because I thought of Geo Corsi.
From Sony, he was just like a developer relation stuff.
Not so much.
Yeah, I'm good at remembering them.
Trying to recognize them.
Yeah, do you not kick people out if you don't recognize them?
No. Never. What am I gonna do? Oh, can you get out, out if you don't recognize them? No, never
What am I gonna do? Oh, can you get out, please? I'll be like yes, yeah
I've walked up to you like
Who are you like at the door like do you work here? Oh?
Yes, who's your boss? I fall under that problem of like there's enough people around me
I assume that the responsibility of kicking people out will surely fall upon someone that's smarter than me
Nope, I do that thing. I'm just like, oh, like, you see.
You like me too, I have two of the highest positions
in the company.
Well, you know what, position we need in the company?
That's security, God.
It stands by the door, I'm making sure people work it.
We should ever have found some.
They can do their jobs.
Oh, can we get bouncer?
We're both an relevant rope.
Yeah, VIP air.
We're an UPC.
Yeah, that is the position that we need at this company.
The velvet position.
And maybe if he gets introduced next week
I remember his name. Why is it be he?
Exist.
Ooh. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,. I was really confused because when I woke up the next morning, I'll check Twitter and I saw like 100 new tweets or something.
Wow, that's a little higher than normal.
And I started scrolling instantly.
I was like, oh, who was this?
I click on it and like, oh, this used to be Mega 64.
You know, they changed your name.
They're gone now.
Yep.
You know, I found out when somebody changes user names,
it takes them out of your mute filter.
That's what I learned this week.
No, it's not.
It's not.
It's not.
It's not.
It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. used to be Mega 64. You're gonna change your name. They're gone now, yep. You know what I found out. When somebody changes your name,
it takes them out of your mute filter.
That's what I learned this week.
No, it's not.
I tried to help.
I was trying to do whatever I could.
I messaged Twitter gaming, tried some stuff,
and sure enough, they don't work on the weekends.
That was their excuse.
They just let their account be hacked, all the kind.
The guy who had the account was just blocking accounts,
like getting rid of all their followers.
Yeah, I'm doing it.
And because when you block somebody,
take some off follow for you.
Is that done?
And then they kept tweeting stuff over and over again.
So they would like, they lost thousands of followers.
Yeah, I was talking to Barbara about it earlier.
She's like, yeah, you know, God, it sucks for me.
I guess it's for they have zero followers.
I was like, no, I just looked a little while ago.
They got the account back and they have 37,000 still.
It's like, no, I looked earlier and they have zero.
I said, you're probably blocked.
And then she looked at them on Twitter,
and yep, she was blocked.
Really?
Yeah, dude.
So when the person changes to somebody else
got the Mega 64 account,
because when you change the username on Twitter,
it kind of leaves your old one vacant.
When I switched from Bernie Burns to Bernie,
I did it like three in the morning,
and I had it all set up to go, do I had a different account, switched Bernie Burns to Bernie, I did it like three in the morning and I had it all set up to go
Do I had a different account switch Bernie Burns to Bernie and then immediately switch the other account to Bernie
Birds I should have done Jackson. I got my when I got my new account
I didn't take up the old one. I just didn't think to do that
I never got for it. So when immediately took it over use my picture started tweeting as me and when I call the mouth
They're like oh, bro. I'm just joking bro. I'm just joking. It's just a joke. Don't bully me, bro
They changed their name to not-
Sorry.
I was talking to Jordan about this,
because he was over at my place,
we were riding some stuff and the meg 64 thing happens.
And he goes, oh yeah, when I changed my account,
I immediately took my other one up.
The next day I went into work,
I told Gus that I changed my account,
he immediately started typing away and went, damn it.
You tried to fucking steal it, you both caused. We have a lot of people in the Twitter feed for hashtag RT podcast that want to be our new security guard
You're all under
I want to be a guy you need somebody that weren't too mean and not
People like Gus people there's too many someone to intimidate. There's too many cartoon avatars
I want to scary avatar our bouncer. Oh one of them is a ghost that's scary. Oh
Why don't we have one? A bouncer? No, just a security guy. Probably not
think we were to talk about a globally broadcast podcast that we don't have any
kind of security. We have a gate. We do. And we have a lot to take our knowledge.
It's as you know, don't. No, trust passing. Yeah. If it says it, it's a rule.
We should put up a people wear of dog signs. My grandmother did that even though her
dog was like the most kind polite little thing. It helps though. People will be where. Yeah,
yeah. Nobody wants to get bitten. I'm not sure. Did you, did anybody watch the Oscars last night?
You said you didn't know. I, yeah, you were like, I asked you why you want to be on the podcast
because I can give you nothing relevant. Not always so happy. Did Leo won just because I'm so tired
of that fucking joke. I'm so tired of it.
They're gonna find a new one, the internet will find a new champion.
You know what? It's always less though. It's like, like the Duke Nukem when Duke Nukem kind of went away.
I guess Half Life 3 kind of took it over a little bit, but it just like, it just doesn't have the same like, eh, to me, you know.
Like Duke Nukem was a development for 12 years and what's Half Life 3 at this point.
I think 11?
It's fucking crazy. Do you know who won the most Oscars of all time
Let me think about that who one of those Oscars of all time. Yes, if I had to think I guess I'd say John William
I would just say John Williams to no
Then I'm glad I didn't say it. I will say
For for oh, well very familiar. I don't know. Can I get a category get a category Disney Walt Disney yeah he won for just we're he probably
name on everything's like Thomas Edison yeah I think with even like including
with the honorary ones it was like 24 off schools that's a lot it's pretty
fucking serious man they're all got frozen with him in his cry
chamber but Walt deserved I mean he's a he's a legend you know George Lucas has
how many probably none maybe I'm have a couple of special effects or sounded
in your mind.
Oh, which thing about ex-Machina,
winning the Vigil effects award?
I thought, I thought that one for sure,
Mad Max was gonna have on lock.
If they had a coloring,
like a colorist Oscar,
Mad Max would definitely win.
All the nighttime scenes in that movie aren't there?
It's a wall of a Macro, it's a palette of blue and black. Yeah, they got it's a
What my favorite shot in that movie is a furio said Max in the front stark blue and all the girls in the back around the little fire
Is like the most beautiful shot in that whole movie. Yeah, the color is incredible. I don't know what you say again
I watch you. I want to join better. I got a plane. I watch it on a plane. Yeah, not nearly as impressive when the screen
I want to join better. I watch it on a plane. Yeah, that nearly is impressive when the screen
No, no, this this movie doesn't hold up anybody by tickets to Superman versus Batman What's that? Is that correctly? No?
Any excitement for the movie no
Greg Miller's like on Twitter all the time like Yakkie Akkiv of course he is like he can't believe it's here
Look if it's not if as much stuff gets smashed
Then it didn't matter still that I'm in man. It just it looks like the same one not the same Like he can't believe it's here. If it's enough, if as much stuff gets smashed,
then it did in Matt of Steel that I'm in.
Man, it just, it looks like the same,
we'll not the same, but it looks like the Spider-Man 3 problem
and the amazing Spider-Man 2 problem,
which is, you know what, this movie can use
all of everyone, both good and bad.
A load blow.
It's just like, all I cared about was Batman and Superman,
but then they have to give us Aquaman, Wonder Woman,
Doomsday, Lex Luthor, fucking, Lois
is still gonna be fucking around doing something.
Like, I liked Man of Steel more than I thought I would.
I've never been a big Superman fanboy just because he's a fucking...
Well, sounds like you know everything about Superman right now.
Oh, no, I don't know everything about Superman,
but I know that like, okay, his greatest weakness is kryptonite.
That's not interesting, that's a rock.
Like, I can't remember who was amazing.
That's like, is your greatest weakness is uranium. That's not interesting, it's a rock. Like I can't remember who was amazing. It's like senior greatest weakness is uranium. That's not interesting. It's a rock.
But no, an interesting weakness is something to me that's like really personal that has
a lot of emotion behind it. Like like a like from his home planet. That's a lot of
emotion. He's planted that exploded. Yeah, but it's like it's like when Lex Luthor comes
up to with kryptonite. He just go, Oh, my parents. No, he goes, Oh, kryptonite. I guess
he made that Superman is allergic to rocks from his own planet.
He would have been like the biggest whip in the world with his own planet. Well, that's because it's super-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or-or- other planet and you discovered rocks on Earth or what made you normal and that you're a super human really.
Right?
Isn't that the sun?
The sun does something to him.
I don't know.
I'm guessing here.
So, really, like, it brings back to normal, is that saying?
Right.
Yeah, it was the normal.
In general, there's a comparison between Marvel and DC heroes,
which is Marvel heroes are normal people trying to be heroes
and DC heroes are heroes trying to be normal people.
And I think to me, that's what makes a lot of Marvel heroes more interesting,
because they're relatable.
Like Tony Stark and his problem with alcoholism and Peter Parker,
who was just a fucking dweeb.
What about Captain America?
Oh, man.
Fucking superman, Captain America,
I think it has to do with all of his friends that he's lost.
You have to fit in in a time that...
Yeah, in a time that he's not familiar with,
and he doesn't like...
All the mutant firms.
Right, they're heroes. I I mean all the mutants are like
in the bits built in true but I guess you could say that mutants are
relatable in the same way that like you know segregation against different
races and stuff there's a lot of like hate against
which I think they're starting to layer some of that stuff in with Superman now
like I when I grew up there's no talk about Superman being an alien but now
it's like that seems to be a common thread in Superman stories is that he
actually is not from this planet, but he's an alien.
I guess that's a current comic series,
a Grigmiller always tweets about as well.
That was a cool thing about him.
I'm not a real alien.
Yeah, when he was like being right at the end,
I was like, we don't know if we can trust you.
He's already saved the world.
And he's like, I grew up in Kansas.
What you talking about.
Yeah, no, and like,
there's a lot of manist deal was like that.
Yeah, there's a bunch of really good moments like that.
And the very first teaser for Batman V Superman,
I thought was really cool playing up the fact that it's like,
yeah, if there was a fucking god like superhero on Earth,
that would be a fucking problem.
Like people would not be okay with that, especially,
like there's an alternate, I think it's called the Red Sun,
where Superman crashes in Russia.
Yeah.
And it's just like, yeah, that's a really highly controversial,
there would be like cults to his following.
And I thought it was really interesting
that they were gonna touch on that.
But now I feel like we're not gonna really get
to explore that at all because we'll be too busy
watching Doomsday fight one, and then they'll have to.
In the next reboot, you get all of that stuff.
Let's reboot it all in a couple years.
Like, as we're three.
We know man, for Superman for a long period of time,
his motto was that he fights for truth, justice,
and the American way.
And it's like, they don't use the American way bit anymore.
It also, he did use it not be, like,
he used to be, he wasn't able to fly.
Like, he started just being able to jump over a thing.
What was it?
He could just jump over the sky screen.
That's what the Hulk does.
Hulk can just jump miles in time.
And it's pretty great.
I love watching him do that.
Hulk's pretty cool.
All right, lead buildings with a single belt.
I never thought about it.
Yeah, it wouldn't happen with the Hulk.
The Hulk would just go,
ah, and his feet would go through the floor.
Like, how would you get any left?
What do you mean he could do it on top of that? He's always jumping out there from the middle of a street
Oh, that's good would collapse. Yeah, I would they should the matrix. I really like that when it's like
Oh, yeah, Neo goes to take off and just tears the the street up wherever he is a little ripple
Yeah, oh man. I was the man. I would love to see matrix. I could stand a reboot for like
I saw a long-winded
Explanation of the Matrix fairly recently was like buried in the comment section somewhere
Making it by the mayor of a gene it was like buried in the comments somewhere in a reddit thread and it was a super long explanation of
Why the Matrix sequels were actually good movies and it made me want to go back and rewatch
you should go back and rewatch them. I liked them a lot more after I rewatched them years later. I don't think I've seen them
They were in the theater so I'd like to go back and like that belly process not gonna hold up
It doesn't hold up, but you gotta kind of like just let that go
That was one of the things I wondered if the Matrix actually holds up because one of the things that made it so whoa
It was a lot of the cinematography things. I've Matrix definitely does. I've re-watched the original Matrix Scent,
and that holds up.
The only scene that's kind of weird
is when Neo jumps into agent Smith at the end, spoiler,
and his face deforms and gets stretched out.
It looks like an animal for something.
Oh really?
It looks like a lot of weird.
It's a lot of weird.
Well, the Matrix always has a thing
that can fall back on where,
if it looks computer generated,
they're gonna make a computer generated environment.
You know what I mean?
So when the helicopter hits the side of the building
and there's like a big like ripple.
That's so cool.
So did you ever see Kill Bill?
Those movies?
Okay, cause David Caridine's character Bill
has a big long monologue about the difference
between Superman and other superheroes.
I don't remember it.
It's been a long time.
It ain't talked about identities like Bruce Wayne grew up and made the identity Batman.
Yes.
And that Peter Parker made the identity Spider-Man.
And it's to be heroes.
But Superman is Superman.
Those are his clothes that he came down and that's his cape.
That's his clothes.
And that he dresses as clover.
Not in the TV show. What's that?
No, I'm the TV show with Dean Kane.
Anyway, his mom made the suit for him.
I make a slight disagreement on that.
I don't know, the blankets from the thing though.
That was it.
That was always saying the blankets,
the blankets that were in the, the Krypton rocket
that he came from.
His alien spacecraft.
He has alien spacecraft that landed in Kansas.
She took the blankets out of that and made his suit.
She, I think, believes she always made his suit.
That was the thing.
And it's impenetrable.
Somehow she was able to sew it with a senior sewing machine,
but it's still impenetrable.
Well, the new one is not.
It's made with love.
But the new one is like,
that Superman's commentary on humanity
is his Clark Kent identity.
That he puts on the glasses.
That's his opinion of humanity.
That's how he's gonna blend it
is by being this weak lame person.
I would say those are actually taken on it.
But I'd say the same thing about Bruce Wayne.
After the events that happened to Bruce Wayne,
he, Bruce Wayne is just as crazy as the bad guys that he puts away.
It's just that he happens to be fighting for something different.
Whereas the Joker fights for Anarchy and Chaos and eventually becomes obsessed with Batman.
Batman fights for, you know, what he believes is justice, vigilante, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
But Bruce Wayne is the, is the persona that he puts on.
I think they actually touch on at the end of Batman Begins where the ladies like, no, this
is your mask.
That was a tender, weird moment.
But essentially, like, he always thinks like Batman.
It's whenever he goes out in public, he has to put on the persona of Bruce Wayne.
Oh, millionaire bachelor.
Well, who I'm going to buy this? When in reality, he's like,
I fucking hate all you people.
Yeah, what he does that is,
that is late is the, what's the, what's the last one?
Dark night rises?
Dark night rises?
Yeah.
Like when he brings the models to dinner
with Harvey Dent, is that right?
And then they get in the fountain and all that stuff.
Like he puts on the show being a playboy.
Yeah, I think that's the second one.
Is that the second one?
That's the second one.
Oh, yeah, it's because it's Harvey Dent.
He's in the second one. He's not the third one. I have a question. Oh, yeah, it's because it's Harvey Dent. He's in the second one
He's not the third one. I have a question about the Oscar's what why isn't there an Oscar for a stuntman?
It seems like there should be people have been talking about that. I think that'd be a totally legit
Yeah, I agree we're like or stunt choreography. Yeah, yeah, yeah, or something like that
Maybe not stunt man. Yeah, maybe just like yeah, recognizing like the stunt team stunt achievement
Yeah, cuz usually there's a lot of people involved in one movie
Yeah, I mean you think about like going back to like the Matrix and you know movies like Crouch Tiger Hidden Dragon
Also came out the same time like for a lot for quite a while there like Ian Wu ping was considered like the best fight choreographer
And there's no like real category for that
Or and that I feel like that's very akin to like stunt work
There was some someone there was a article about a post on Reddit.
A guy was concerned about if Leonardo DiCaprio were to win the Oscar,
what that might do for future Oscar nominees.
Essentially, the argument he was making was,
obviously, best actor should receive best actor on his acting abilities,
and that doesn't necessarily, good acting doesn't necessarily
mean suffering and doing insane things from your role.
So like Christian Baile losing his shit ton of weight
for what was it, the machine?
Machinist.
Yeah. And, it's not fear factor
It's just it's just good acting and there was a guy that was just kind of concerned like I hope this doesn't set
They're not fear actors. You know, I always watch for something like that
I thought it was especially interesting during the the Martian is Matt Damon very early in his career
He played a soldier in a movie called the... save a friend note in the line of fire
courage and fire that's what it's called in the line of fire with a clenese
would be right with the secret service yes
yeah courage and a fire is a story about
uh... woman in the first rack war soldiers she won the middle of honor post
chemistly she was the first female to win the middle of honor so i think
believe first female tank commander maybe
yet okay
uh...
he played a soldier who returned from the war and he had HIV, so he lost a ton of weight for the role.
And he permanently damaged himself.
Like he permanently damaged, I think, his pancreas.
So as interesting to watch the Martian,
I was watching towards the end of it when he dies, spoiler.
Oh, it doesn't happen.
Oh.
Have you seen it yet?
No.
Oh my god, really?
Go see the Martian.
I don't do anything.
The Martian is a really good movie.
Although it's weird that I classified it as a musical or comedy.
That's what it was like.
Wait, what?
It is a comedy.
The book is way more comedic.
That's what I've heard.
Yeah.
Did you see when they were doing it?
I don't think the weight lost the skinny version of himself.
I don't think that was him.
No, that's totally not him.
That's close to double.
Did you see when they were showing the visual effects reels for each movie nominated
during the Academy Awards?
When they showed the clip from the Martian,
they showed that his beard was digitally added on.
Yeah, what's that?
I was like, why is his beard a layer?
Like they showed like, oh, here's, you know,
Matt Damon standing in a suit,
and here's all the visual effects
to make a look like Mars, and here's the beard layer.
I'm like, what the fuck?
There's probably an easier way to do that.
That sounds like so much tracking and effort.
Oh my God, really?
Are there any individual fibers?
Oh my god.
It was really, maybe he did have like a real beard
for some of the close-up stuff, but for that one,
but that doesn't make sense either.
I don't know.
I don't know, that's weird.
Someone that works on the Martian.
You know what the back to us on that?
It's something that's really, there's so many,
go read the book, The Martian, by Andy Weir.
Do they add bit to that one?
Or get the Andy Digital Beard.
But there's so much good stuff in the book
that's not in the movie.
Have you read it in the same both, right?
I hate when people say that the book's better than the movie,
but the book is definitely way better than the movie.
It's way more about survival math
and like the way it starts.
It's way more vulgar too.
It's way more grueling.
It's, you know, I feel like in the movie,
it's like, oh, here's a little problem, it's fixed.
Here's a little problem, it's fixed.
And the book, it's like, this is impossible,
I'm going to die, there's no way to fix this.
And then like, maybe this will work.
Okay, cool, it worked, you know, it's a lot more grand.
Oh, that's a pretty huge set back in the movie
when the whole room is on the big setbacks.
Oh, really?
Like even the thing that is a huge deal,
like it's way worse in the-
We don't know about the airlock blows off. Yeah, okay, or a pillar gonna be like I have a
No, no, you're fine. It's not I'm looking at can't see that thing one thing that wasn't included though was the plan for
cannibalism which I they left out of the movie entirely do you remember that no the
Cannibalism on the Hermes okay. Oh right. Yeah. And there's such a great moment, especially with Rodriguez in there, where...
Anyway, you just said now we're in the scene where we can't talk about it,
because the movie's only been out for fucking eight months or whatever.
Here, let me read this.
Oh, he's a good thing now.
Go see the Martian.
Go see the Martian.

Thank you to Harry's, Matt Damon could have used you
to shave his digital beard in the Martian.
Do you ever see that thing about how much
movie governments have spent trying to get
Matt Damon back?
Several billion dollars.
Same private Ryan, they'd send this whole crew to get him.
And into Stella, he's on a planet
and they send people to go get him.
And on the Martian, he's, well, you stuck on Mars.
Yeah, I got it correct.
He wasn't a HIV patient, he was a heroin addict. Oh, got to correct. He wasn't HIV patient.
He was a heroin addict.
Maybe he also had HIV.
So there was a moment during the Oscars
when Sarah Silverin was doing a presentation.
And she was up there talking on stage.
And she talked about the,
as she mentioned something about heavy Jewish boobs.
A lot.
Okay.
So I reached out to the domain name,
heavy Jewish boobs.
I was like sitting there on my laptop. I was like,
sure, why not? This is worth a couple of bucks. Was it two bucks?
I was like, this is several. I don't know, I wasn't very much.
I was like, you're gonna do nothing with it. It's gonna come up for like renewal
in a couple of years and you're gonna be like, I don't want anymore.
I might set up an email address for myself.
There could be some like very specific fetishes out there.
You can sell that to somebody.
Why heavy though?
Like dense or the normal people will be like,
oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
And then she puts a Yamakon and they're like,
oh, fuck yeah.
You don't know, man, people are in the weird,
oh god, I remember why you asked me to come on the podcast.
We'll get to it.
Okay, all right.
But I love doing that.
I love watching live events like the Oscars
or E3 presentations and just trying to figure out
what's gonna stick and then registering domain names
to go along with it.
That's like betting on your favorite resource.
Right, like a couple of years ago when Coloduty,
like they made that big deal out of the fact they had dogs.
So I registered ColodutyDogs.com.
I was like, I don't know, this might be a thing.
Like they might have a selection of dogs.
If you want to see the dogs, no, it wasn't even really that, really that deal in the game. You got rid of it. Oh, I still own it
Okay, you never let go of that. This is what Gavin talked about it's like you hold on to it
Then you don't do anything with it dogs always let down in games
Why is that just can't be asked them? It's a game is always fine if you take the dog out
Oh, yeah, I don't think there's a game that's success depended on the dog being there,
unless it was a game about dogs.
Like, full out of four was being advertised.
Like, yeah, take this dog out.
I made the dog wait somewhere, I never saw it.
Yeah, I was like, I don't want this.
Yeah, the dog just walked off into stealth scenarios
and kicked off a fight.
I was like, get out of here.
Oh, there's very few games that use companions really well.
I think the best game companions ever,
Alex Vance from Half-Life and Ellie from The Last of Us,
and even Ellie had problems.
She'd fucking walk right in front of a clicker,
but the game devs were smart enough to say,
hey, we're gonna let that slide.
What about a fucking...
Shit, I'm bioshockin' fit.
Oh yeah, bioshockin' fit.
Look at that!
All she did was throw you money and bullets.
Yeah, it's like the best girlfriend ever.
I remember in the first...
I think like my shot infinite that much,
because the first time they started showing things for it
She looked like they're like oh, yeah, she'll be able to bring things in do all this really cool stuff and it was just kind of
I'm sure she did but I thought they were gonna pay off that book or catch because it happens so many times
Yeah animation yeah, I thought there was gonna be something related to book or catch almost like you're playing shoveling it nope
Good game. It's a great game. You finish Shovel Knight? Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about.
Fucking catch, dude.
Yeah.
I like that game.
I'm gonna, I'm not playing just because three
and I'm like,
just go with just five year challenges.
And it's just like Christ.
So it would take me forever.
I'm stuck on Rainbow Six right now.
I just, like, I'd never played Siege.
Yeah.
You didn't tear us down that stuff?
I do a little bit of tear us down.
There's a bunch of us here that have a third,
we're the Rainbow Six and we play almost every night at this point
We just have a thread dude our six our six. We get on and play with them. It's fun. Yeah, dude
It's no way back to the wheel of the scriptures again recently
Do you some rainbow six stuff or yours or dance?
So my favorite things to do is watch people's captures the fucking great
I feel like they don't get views anymore like I used to just upload a clip
Yeah, it would get like 5,000 views,
now I guess like 40.
I don't think it alerts in the same way.
It's like going into a feed anymore.
You also can't see it.
You have to load the clip yourself
and then it loads all your likes.
What are you talking about?
When you capture a clip on Xbox One.
Oh.
You should watch my latest one.
I was picking a character in Plants vs Zombies.
I saw it, it just went crazy.
Yeah.
It was freaked out.
You always like to record like when the game fucks up. Well, here's why that's what I do
Why with Far Cry 4 the
Upload of the fails the week breaks often that sometimes we need fullback clips
So figure if I save enough then when that happens you can just use all my clips
Yeah, we've done it a few times you should do that in the patch cut
She's just got through and like watch stuff from people's yeah, it's crazy how few should do that in the patch, guys. You should just go through and watch stuff from people's. It's crazy how few of our employees
about it in the record stuff ever.
Yeah, we've done it.
Like Michael has none.
I record all the time.
I record all the time too.
I'm not in real life.
All I would do is glitch just like you said,
I have one from I think Rise of the Tomb Raider
and then several weird ones from Power Star Golf.
I was quoted because you want to share that frustration
and like confusion with people.
You don't want to sound like you're crazy.
So I will say I also, when the Xbox One first came out,
I played a lot of Power Star golf.
I love dumb golf games like that.
So all of my clips for that game are either weird fuck ups,
where the ball goes crazy,
or it's me getting this chip shot from the bunker
like into the hole, and I'm less like,
yeah!
I scream and I get so into the shit.
Power Star!
I had the first game I played was Dead Rising 3 on the Xbox One.
And I just made compilation... I just made a clip after clip of me pressing the wrong button.
Constantly in that game I might be like,
Alright, I've made this crap to this... I've wrote a trocar with a bomb on it.
I'm gonna put the thing down, yeah.
Alright, I'm gonna drive it into a...
And I was just like, throw the remote out of window. I'd be like,
Damn it! I used it all the time, he's pressing the button.
Just used like set up stuff and then just like ruin it with one button press.
Had a lot of that.
It's really funny.
I'm learning a lot here on this podcast.
What?
What you got?
Share with us your knowledge.
I'm going to read it real quick, but somebody just said that the Courage Under Fire Story
is fictitious.
The what?
The Courage Under Fire Story is fictitious. The what? The courage under story is fictitious. The courage under fire story is fictitious
and that the only person, the only female
to ever win the Medal of Honor
is Dr. Mary Edwards Walker.
So I'm gonna verify that that's correct or not.
Speaking of characters who,
or actors who had to do stuff that was long-lasting,
there was one guy, go ahead of black-hata,
comedy in the UK, Rowan Atkinson.
One guy in it had to do like a stutter.
He's quite twitchy and had to stutter his words.
And apparently the actor had that permanently
for like, one up permanently,
he had it for like six months after the end of filming.
It's because he like built it into itself.
And he had to do it.
And he could not stop speaking and like twitching.
He was like, my god, it's like ruined me.
It's gotta be so late.
It took him like six months to get rid of it yeah I think the only one I know of that was
Mark Hamill bursting the blood vessel in his eye while filling the first
Star Wars how do you do that in the trash compactor scene he was doing so many
takes back and forth of him having to hold his breath for so long he busts
of us I did it like they kind of had a way they had to reframe that scene and I
didn't know about the car accident thing for Empire yeah the. The whole, what is it, the Wamp-
That's where you get small to the third game.
What's the thing called?
Wampa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he looks so different, the first shot in Empire Strikes Back.
I don't see it at all.
Yeah, no, I didn't see it.
Yeah, it's like some three-pios.
Yeah, man, it's not a dream.
We watched them all together recently and like it came on.
We just watched, oh, pardon me.
We just watched the first one.
Mm-hmm.
And the second one I was like, oh, god. Like, to the age, what's happened to his face? And she was like, Adam, no idea what he was talking about. oh, pardon me. I just watched the first one. And the second one, I was like, oh, god,
to the age, what's happened to his face?
And she was like, I don't know how to do it.
It looked so different to me.
Really?
So I saw earlier speaking of C3PO in his stupid arm.
I saw earlier today, I think it was a mental floss
tweeted this image of a bunch of C3PO's,
and they hid an Oscar in it.
And they were like, I bet you can't find the Oscar in this image.
And it's almost like a wears wall.
You're like, shit, it's in there somewhere.
And they're just trying to go through and find it.
I scrolled out until someone like,
I had to go through the comments, yeah, and find it.
You were just browsing the web today, weren't you?
Because you sent me an old webcomic,
I hadn't seen him forever.
Oh God, that webcomic.
I just noticed dirt, dirt, dirt.
Mystery of like, okey, god. I'll look it up right now. I just know it is dirt mystery of like a key
I'll look at it right now
I'll look at it right now
I'm in my back
I saw this the other day
I saw this I think on Friday
very unsettling
and I thought it was gonna give me nightmares
like I haven't been
you didn't see it to last Friday
yeah this is the first
are you serious?
oh man
was it scary?
it's a manga
it's just like a weird creepy little story
it's very lovecraftian
it's very just like it's not scary it's just creepy and weird creepy little story. It's very lovecraftian. It's very, just like, it's not scary,
it's just creepy and it makes you really uncomfortable.
The basic premise is that there's an earthquake
and like part of a mountain slides off.
And when it does, it exposes that in the mountain,
like in the side of the mountain,
there's all these human shaped holes.
Perfect, like I'm talking loony tunes,
Wiley Coyote through the wall,
but like perfectly shaped.
And that people see it like on the news report
on television and then it like draws all the people to it
and they're like, I'm looking for my whole.
It's called the enigma of Amigara fault.
And then it's like so people are going
and they're like they're drawn to their whole
and then it's like they walk up to it
and then it sucks them into the mountain
and people can't figure out what's happening to them.
They get trapped in there.
Like essentially they are, everybody the news, everybody's there looking at it saying,
oh yeah, there's all these like people shape holes and one by one people start going,
that's mine, that's my whole.
So do people want to find the whole?
Right, they do and they don't.
They're drawn.
So one of the characters and it's a really short read.
We can put in the link down.
Couple of pages here.
Just remember to read right the left.
Very important.
It's like there's one character
that she has a panic attack on the mountain
because she says, I'm afraid I'm gonna find my hole
and then I have to go in.
And the kid she's was like, no, you don't.
Like nobody's forcing you to go in.
But she goes, no, once I'll see it, I'll have to go in.
And sure enough, she sees it.
She was, this is my hole.
This hole was made for me.
It lied beneath the earth until I was my hole. Until, and that's the thing like it's suddenly like you just see it and then you're like
That's mine and I need to go inside there and nobody wants to go in they believe that they have to go in
I like I took a little bit of this close you get in and then it gets to a point where like you can't move anymore
Because it's too tight and constricting and it wants to boil the end
Super unsettling like it's like it was like nightmare fuel
I didn't want to go to sleep.
It's a letter.
It's called the enigma.
Sorry, let me look it up one more time.
And that baby and the enigma of Amigara fault.
Here you go, be.
Got it.
All right.
It's stuck if you didn't want to find your hull,
but you were like seven foot five and you're like,
it's definitely not there.
It's definitely not there.
There's no point in there.
It's just, man, it's, it's, it's, yeah.
It's kind of gets under your eyes too.
And I like that story too, because it's like,
they don't go too much in the depth. Like, you don't have to explain like, nope, who made it, man, it's, it's, ugh. It's kinda gets under your eyes too. And I like that story too because it's like, they don't go too much in the depth.
Like, you don't have to explain like,
nope, who made it, why is it there?
No, it's just like, oh, here's this thing that's creepy
and people are gonna go, you know, mess with it.
It's like, leave it serious.
Don't over explain it.
Yeah.
It's fine.
Yeah, don't come up with that idea.
It's just really weird.
I was just sure that always weird to me out
is like, the saw movies, right?
Those are really fucked up and gross.
I can't understand.
People had to come up with all of that stuff.
The first one's good, all the other ones are garbage.
But it's just like, oh, when you think of, yeah,
there's a girl with a bear trap over her head
and it will rip her jaw and below.
The writers had to like come up with that.
And they're like, oh yeah, that's gross.
I feel the way whenever a new Mortal Kombat game comes out.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
We all get all the fatalities.
It's like someone came up with it.
Sick Boston's work at this company too.
Dead Space 2 had that challenge to see who could kill Isaac in the most interesting way
and it would get put into the game.
Oh, the final destination series, a movie, started as an episode of the X-Files.
What?
Yep.
And it was never made.
Did you know that I didn't watch the X-Files going up because the theme song scared me?
Really?
Yeah. He's a bit turned out to be a bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a big bald, he was a bald, he's a kid. As a kid, I'd watch the Simpsons late,
and I'd be like, oh, that was great.
And then I hear, duh, duh, duh, duh,
and I'd run out the room with my hands over my ears.
It's like, no!
I used to get scared by some dungeons in Zelda.
Oh, yeah.
And then into the past.
Some rooms, I just couldn't go in
because the music tripped me out.
Vampire level in Conquer's Bad Fur Day
scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Although, like, because you'd hear like babies laughing
in the distance, didn't like like it, wasn't about it,
didn't want to play it.
That's one of the things that gets
not scary the earliest in life.
Like I found that when I was a kid,
I'd be scared by music and stuff.
And that wore off way sooner than like being scared
of the dark.
Like I was scared of the dark longer
after into my life than.
Interesting.
I still think sound design is like something scary.
Shit.
I had a weird revelation as a little kid about the dark.
Like I think all little kids are kind of scared of the dark,
but I remember one time when I was really, really young,
you know, I was like in my bedroom or whatever
and the lights were off and I thought to myself,
everything's exactly the same.
Yeah.
Like there's nothing different about this room right now
except that there's no light.
Like just being afraid is stupid.
And it was just over at that point.
I'll still do that since I see what's there.
Right, but in my mind, it's like, I know what's there.
It's exactly what was there earlier.
But that's the thing that scares you, though,
is when you don't know that there's not nothing.
Wait, right.
You don't know. In case something's there.
So that's when you get darkness combined with sound design
or something, I, oh shit.
So, perfect example, a few weeks ago,
I, this has never happened before in my life,
I kept waking up every half hour from a nightmare,
and I didn't sleep that night.
The same nightmare?
No, no, no.
It wasn't a nightmare as in, like, normally my nightmares
are really narrative, it's like watching a movie for me,
but this was, I laid my head down,
I feel like I would fall asleep,
and then it sounded like someone went up to my night,
stand and went, and I immediately shot up.
Like somebody was just right there.
Another one was you know, like the little tassels
that hang down from your ceiling fan, I lay down,
I close my eyes, and it sounded like someone went up to it
and hit it against the top of the ceiling fan.
Oh, go.
And every, like, so I made a 45 minutes.
It just, I didn't, I didn't think that I was asleep.
I thought I was awake and that someone was in my room
and I did not fucking sleep.
Maybe it was a poltergeist.
Me, could have been, could have been.
I don't know, Indian Barrel grounds and stuff.
Do you ever hear anything like that?
Yes.
What, like a supernatural thing?
Yeah.
Not me personally now.
Go ahead, what was the other thing?
I think I've told the story in the podcast before,
but when I was at school, down in Houston,
I knew these girls who lived off campus in an apartment.
And I knew about it.
One day, it was like a two-story apartment.
It was like downstairs was the living room,
the kitchen, there were stairs,
and the two bedrooms were upstairs.
One of the girls was home alone in her room studying.
Then she thought she heard her roommate come home.
She walked down the stairs, looked around.
There was nobody there.
So she's like, all right, maybe it was my neighbor or something.
So she walked back up the stairs,
then turned off the light for the downstairs,
and then she said she heard a whisper that said,
we don't like the dark.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so she just ran into her room and locked the door.
Mm-mm, F that.
Mm-mm, mm-mm.
I don't believe shit like that,
but it was like, she wasn't the kind of person
to lie or embellish or make it up.
That's all like the skinny shit, yeah.
Right, and like she didn't like telling the story.
It was always her roommate.
It was like tell it.
He's like, oh, I don't want to.
You always wanted to use like ghosts when they do that stuff.
They know the person's going to run into like a bathroom and lock the door.
It's a ghost and go through the door, right?
And it's just like, but the ghost know that people are going to run off like that.
I always wonder what would happen if like the ghost goes, we don't like the dark.
It turns the light and goes, what the fuck did you say?
I'm like, sorry. I just, I don't like the dark. It turns the light and goes, what the fuck did you say? I'm like, sorry.
I just, I thought this was my halfway.
Like, or you're putting the electricity bill
in my motherfucker.
What happens if you turn to the ghost and confront it?
And like, go,
Do you ever see poltergeist and go,
and my came mother fucker.
No, man, that's how they get shit.
They take your kid.
You just broke my favorite nickname.
You just shit.
Do you think the ghost to a ghost sounds like he's being
really friendly, but passing through the different planes of existence that gets translate to the screen?
Maybe it's an accent thing, maybe it's a cultural difference.
Like a ghost is like, ah, you want to play?
And it comes out as, you want to play.
I get it, I get it.
I've had this thing where you suddenly where,
enjoy the sun.
Like, lose the dreams.
Lose the dreams are pretty rare, like you rarely know that you're dreaming.
Right.
But I've been sleeping on planes a lot more
And I just wear an eye mask on a plane looking also you sleep
He totally does by the way who wears an eye mask? I did find that so funny. I can see that I'm as I could see
Why would you sleep with a eye mask? It's just close to his eyes
Yeah, cuz you can see sometimes I make the assholes reading a book on you guys. That's what your eyes are full
Light I'm gonna put my mask on
No I don't know how to let light it come to my mask on No, you're still getting the lights your full of shit give me a bright light your full of shit
No, give you a bright light look up look up
You're getting the lights
Here is why we've evolved to the point where you don't need to see light through your eyelids anymore
It was like when you're a caveman and there's like it lets you wake up
You know a cheetah was coming to bite your head off you might need to be like oh someone block the light. I'm good about to get eaten wake up go now. You're always safe
Wait a minute what what's the scenario?
Cheetah's coming after you need to shut your eyes. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh, there's something there. I knew. It's the light. You look at that. I'm not wearing a fucking sleeping mask, guys. Get it pulled, you're fake.
Sorry, I got very passionate about this.
So anyway.
It's a stupid, it's a stupid kind of argument.
No.
Now, what we need to evolve is black eyelids.
Because it blocks-
No, right now, get it tattooed.
It blocks all light.
Get a black tattoo.
If you tattoo your eyelids, black.
Won't do it, but okay.
Does it stop light?
Because I would do that.
If I would have changed one thing about the human body,
I would make it so that the tube that I used to breathe
is not the same tube I used to eat and drink.
That is the greatest flaw in the human body.
Primarily, you would say it.
Could you call it a choke point?
Nice.
Yeah, no.
I fucking would.
Oh, I mean, that's even weird that it's like the same tube
up until a certain point that forks.
And it's like, we're just gonna,
everything's gonna go the right way.
Yeah, and then I'm just gonna go that way. That's a little work itself out. It's's like we're just gonna everything's gonna go the right way yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Anyway, let me finish my crappy eyelids story
So I'm asleep up right on a plane got a stupid eye mask on you do and I keep getting lucid dreams
And the only reason I know I'm dreaming is because I get curious, and I'm like, are my eyes open right now?
And I think in real life, I reach up,
and I feel my eyes shut, and I'm still seeing things,
but that's how I know I'm dreaming.
Because stuff is happening in front of my closed eyes,
but I know my eyes are closed.
It is a really bizarre feeling.
Like I think you're gonna get if you sleep,
set up right.
So you're saying, in your dream, you could see.
Yeah, I'm seeing stuff in a light.
In your dream, you reached up and you touched your face,
but then you felt, your fingers felt like cloth
or whatever, but you didn't see your hands
or anything, you just saw it.
No, yeah, exactly, right.
So I'm there watching something, I'm thinking,
I don't trust this as reality.
Maybe I'm dreaming, hold on.
So I'm totally close, my eyes are close.
This is your dream.
If we ever see you in real life,
reach up and cut your eyes.
You don't believe what's going on and you're checking to make sure you're not dreaming.
Yeah, if you see me suddenly go,
Ow!
That messed up and I wasn't actually dreaming.
You're going to pinching yourself. That's what Gavin does.
Yeah, it's cool because I, and then I start messing with it.
I start doing this and I'm like, I can still stuff.
I think I only ever once had a lucid dream in my life.
And it's when I was really young, I must have been like 12 or 13.
I remember the dream was I was, I was being chased being chased like it was a nightmare as far as a nightmare
Like something was chasing me and like I ran into a public restroom to hide and I closed the stall
And I remember I was looking at the floor like trying to hide then I thought oh wait a minute this a nightmare
And then I remember like the the stalls like the walls of the stall just fell down and then I was flying
It's like all right cool. I do whatever I want. Wow, really, she flies.
Yeah, you controlled that.
Yeah.
That's, see, the one time I had a lucid dream,
dream miles fucking ruined it.
I was on a train.
I was also, it was also being chased by somebody.
It was a nightmare.
And halfway through the chase, I realized I was dreaming.
So because I still didn't want to get caught for some reason,
I begged everybody on the train to make as much noise as possible
so I would wake up in the real world.
Because I was a little kid kid and that was my logic.
And then I woke up and now looking back on it,
I had a gold opportunity that I passed.
Yeah, you could have, you could have tried.
I really could have fucked up whoever was chasing me.
And also flown.
Can I get time?
People, I think people always go straight to flying
if they're in trouble.
Why is that, yeah?
Some people want to do.
Yeah.
How could, that's why I want to sleep under water one day.
Because I think country dream about flying.
You could probably do with a tube that had to like really clamp it on there.
Yeah, if I was just like floating in hell with this,
like an astronaut must get that one that,
I mean, they sleep in little bags,
but if they were just floating around aimlessly,
that'd be, I think that'd be some interesting dream.
Is that dude back from his year in space?
Is he coming back?
I think he came back today, right?
He came back today.
Scott Kelly?
Yeah. Couple of things have happened that are weird. He's back now. And then did
you hear that the Supreme Court Justice Clare's Thomas spoke for the first time in 10 years.
And they said there were audible gasps in the chamber. They just mentioned that he never
spoke. I did. I did. I was talking about he made a joke about a colleague from Yale. And
that's like literally the only thing he said in the Supreme Court as a justice for 10 years.
Yeah, they said he has done. Last you spoke I believe was February 22nd 2006.
Oh, I say spoke to tell a joke.
Yeah, the one thing you're broken.
I'm off for though.
It was like too good to pass up.
It's like, Yale joke.
Hey, dig.
What I want to know is this?
So when you're sleeping, some of the people you fall asleep on a plane, Gus,
you fall asleep. How? Show me your posture. You fall asleep in a plane dust you fall asleep how show me your posture
You fall asleep in a plane that's got sleep in a plane
I'm gonna start like that because you start to sleep before you can lean your back and sometimes I'll do this
This is what I'm assuming happens. I do this
I do that I do that, but why does doing this?
Feel like I've done this
I feel like I've done this. I feel like I've gone all the way down to the floor.
I've gone all the way down to the floor and then I like pop back up.
And I think like everybody in my row, so I'm like leaned all the way over, sleeping.
It's like crazy.
But I know that's not possible.
I'll fall asleep with my forehead on the back of the chair in front of me for whatever reason.
So I'm just sleeping like, that'd be great.
The problem I have, I don't know if anybody else has this problem Like if I fall asleep seated up like if I don't recline my seat and I'm like this right and I fall asleep
I feel like if I sleep for any amount of time my tailbone hurts like all my weight is down right there on my ass
Do you have a long tail
As you go lower down in your ass to most people. I don't know
I've got no fat on my ass. So that might be that might be part of the problem
Yeah, that's so I was like, oh man my butt then I got like I'm walking weird when I get off the plane
It's just from sleeping or just from sleeping cuz like when I'm sitting at least you can read just every now
I don't sleep. It's pretty much you might have a gummy but I might have a gummy
But yeah, it's like that episode of King of the Hill where Hank Hill had to have the book
I might have a gamy butt. It's like that episode of King of the Hill where Hank Hill had to have the butt.
I always think it's the King of the Hill butt.
I'm gonna talk about the guy's app that he's talking about in the plane.
Yeah, is it the app?
The very way to store.
Can we talk about that?
Let me read this and talk about your app.

I know for a fact don't need another my so many people watching right now, but
John just tweeted that he and his friends are doing like a podcast party and there's like there's like fucking there's like 20 people there
So I'm like John rising here. No, no, no, no, no, John Burman. No, this person knows 20 people and
Whatever reason nice for whatever reason. I'm like, oh man. There's so many people watching just from this one picture of like a small group of people
I guarantee you there are more than 20 people. No, I know that's what I'm saying
Like to that. I'm seeing that photo. I was, please the podcast. I'm like, it's a fucking podcast.
Do they have a drinking game going on?
Ooh, Burman, Texan buddy, Tweeting Buddy, tell me if you have a drinking game.
How about this?
What's your name?
Drinks are shit.
Oh, they're projecting us.
Oh, look at those red cups. They're definitely drinking.
Drinks.
Drinks.
So, hit on the girl on the white.
What was this app?
Drinks.
App on the plane.
I don't remember the name of it, but
You talk about it. There's an ancient concept to me. Okay
It was like Uber
But for cameras in the world like you say I
Want I want to know what they're cleaning the gum wall in Seattle
I want to see that and I want to go to Seattle to see it until I just type in
somebody in that native region go look at the gum wall in Seattle. I wanna see that, and I wanna go to Seattle to see it. And so I just type in somebody in that neat region, go look at the gum wall and give me a video of it.
And then you guide the person.
Like, they accept your request, they're in Seattle,
they walk over to the gum wall,
they hold up, they do start doing a live stream to you,
and you get directions, like turn left, turn right.
And it appears on their screen,
they just turn left and turn right.
Like, they're your camera.
That's a great idea.
It's a great idea. It's a great idea.
It's a great idea.
The person filming gets paid to do it, right?
By the person watching.
They get, I believe, what do you say?
Was it 80, 80 cents a minute?
This is a sentence.
80 cents a minute?
Yeah, it's like being a cabbie, but with your phone.
That's weird.
See the practical applications of this?
They'll run a muck in your head here, guys.
Like, private investigator?
Yeah. Like, following my wife.
Well, obviously, I'm gonna be sure.
I'm sure, follow my wife.
Yeah.
It's like, it's gonna be new to all of space
on that crap, probably.
Yeah, it's a really interesting concept, I think.
I love it.
Yeah.
You gotta remember the name of the app.
I was, who was I talking to someone the other day
about this, but how?
I think it might be fun to be an Uber driver.
I've thought about like signing up to just like,
every now and then just to see what it's like,
just drive around and and and and,
and cart people around.
Yeah, I think what I would do with the million dollars
if I won the amazing race, right?
That's the first thing to ask it.
I just got to ask some interview the day, say,
they won't, of course, can't say if I won or not,
they say, if you won, what would you do?
And I say the same thing, is that,
if I win the amazing race, I win a million dollars, I'm going to buy a Rolls Royce and I'm gonna Uber drive with a Rolls Royce
That's what I'm gonna do now sell the Rolls Royce some point, but I think it'd be funny to have a Rolls Royce
Someone just orders a normal Uber and a Rolls Royce is so funny and then a Rolls Royce you're like
What?
Especially somebody knows who you are. I was about to imagine if they knew who you were
No, I've a really cool. I'm still good. I'm gonna pick up all the chocolate. No, that's not. That would be really cool.
Did you hear me with the trams, Doc?
No, I still did.
Why don't we just...
I'm gonna pick up all the chocolates.
What if there's a REN a Rolls Royce phantom and just do that for like a week?
Because they can't.
Are you really expensive to REN's birdie?
A Rolls Royce.
I got two chips in that.
Content.
I'm like, make money on the video.
Yeah, you have to get waivers signed by people and they have to agree to it.
Then you have to talk to them.
Hey, you don't have to.
I've given people huge tips because I never even tried to talk to them.
Okay, so in the podcast,
you can tell that's five stars right there.
And after the podcast,
people will send us,
people will send us links to a clip of a cat video
that we talked about a few weeks ago.
We're not interested in that, we don't care.
No, but thanks.
I put up a video of my Twitter account,
on my Twitter account,
again, I was gonna talk to you about this.
This is like the first legitimate tweet
I've ever had to go on viral.
Probably get into that video and it was a video of a cat.
But I've had like little jokes to end up on like,
you know, whatever like laugh men
or something like that, there's always a lot of stuff.
Oh yeah, well I have a popular tweet.
It makes me realize how many people in the world
don't have real jobs.
Like they have like with this one,
there was like two or three fake world star hip hop accounts.
They weren't actually world star hip hop accounts.
They were just, they were like world star,
but the L in world was a one.
And there was like two or three of those.
And they were like, none of the Clips Star R's,
do we don't claim any ownership?
Also parody account, parody and something else.
For years.
No, I didn't say for years,
I wasn't even that sophisticated,
but it was just like, they just wrote parody in there.
What does that mean?
That means page saves them.
Yeah, I just write parody and that's it.
Oh, by the way, parody.
Yeah, oh, by the way, yeah, parody, totally, like,
free straws.
But yeah, so like, my thing got posted
on like about a thousand of those.
And I was like, who spends their time doing that like
What's the upside there that I'm missing out like?
Do it? I'm like a million followers on Twitter. Which is a lot of followers. That's a lot and
What what is that person get out of that of like I sell?
I don't get get money
Did you what so ads on Twitter? I guess like promoted tweets
Yeah, from my tweets and that like tweet about this product. Yeah
I guess I just tweets. Yeah, promoted tweets and that like tweet about this product. Yeah
A man A man goes to let his cat in the door
I thought about replying with a picture of Jake and her guard from dimmer. It's like a man
Yeah, that was a man who's all cancer insane or something. It was always a man
But I like that down that that clip of me and, where I'm like, smushing my face on his head.
Yeah.
And every like two or three months,
it gets posted by a different like million follower account.
And it just has the caption,
forcing your pet to spend time with you like, that gift.
I've been getting weird.
And it just happens like on a cycle.
Like every two months, I'll be like,
everyone will tweet me saying,
oh, it's okay.
Every now and then it'll go on waves like once every three weeks,
I'll get like five tweets in a row
that have been included.
That it's a vine that I posted ages ago.
It'll be exactly what I said, but it quotes,
and then it says, vine by miles in.
And I don't understand the point of that at all.
I think it's like something about sharing a vine
on the vine app just makes that person tweet it
like it was them that posted it in a weird way.
It's weird.
So I did, I was curious about something it in a weird way. It's weird.
So I did, I was curious about something, so I did a little experiment earlier today,
related to Twitter.
Somebody just asked me what was the app idea that I pitched on the plane?
That was it.
We just talked about it.
We literally just talked about it.
I think they're asking what the name was and you said you didn't know the name.
What was the app idea that got pitched on the plane?
Either way, we both said both of those things, like two seconds ago.
I also said I didn't know the name.
I decided to try to spin. That guy to, I went to Twitter and I thought,
you know, you can, you can pay to do like promoted tweets and like try to get followers. I said,
I'm going to pay $25 to Twitter and I'm going to see how many followers I can get.
So early today, I paid Twitter $25 to see how much does it cost to get a follower.
What do you mean? Like you can run like a Twitter ads.
Okay, go ahead.
How much have gotten this week?
I pay $25.
I got, it's, I got 12 followers out of $25.
I'm looking for rats.
So it, I just don't know how you wouldn't have got them anyway.
Right, that's, I guess like they see the ad
and they click on it and they,
you get the follow through that ad that pops up.
I discovered women are much more expensive than men.
To get as follows?
Yes.
How did you discover that?
Tell me about it.
Women, because it breaks it down.
You see the demographics, so who followed you?
The women cost $4 each and the men cost a buck 60 each.
How does that work?
It's like the dynamic pricing model that they use like to put the ad in front of someone
Okay
Hard sell guess it was really and I want to be you
I believe so it doesn't tell you specifics about the people who followed you which I was a little pissed off about
We want to know because I wanted to find out like who these people work like Twitter's not anything about you
It doesn't know anything about you. I wouldn't be able to share the information. No, I wouldn't even know their handles
Twitter's not anything about you, it doesn't know anything about you, I wouldn't be able to share that information. No, I wouldn't even know their handles.
Oh, okay.
Like, like, who are these people who were not following before but are following R, they follow
another RCT people, stuff like that, I was curious about.
Just this one, this one.
So, yeah, it was four women, I believe, and I, so I don't know where they're from or anything,
but I also had four new followers from the UK through the SaaS.
So, like, are all four of them from the UK?
So, like, it's just, like, they give you some analytics SaaS. So like, are all four of them from the UK?
So like, it's just, like, they give you some analytics,
some like teasing stuff that's really interesting,
but then it's like, no, there's really no
further information to back it up.
I heard you tell that whole story,
and here's what I heard you say.
I'll be Gus.
Let me tell you what I did today.
I have too much time on my hands at work.
That's literally what I heard you say.
I did an hour before we came on the podcast.
Must be board shit like,
you got 12 hours in a follower?
12 hours in a follower? You got 12 followers in an hour before we came on the podcast must be bored shit like you got 12 hours in a follower 12 hours
No follower get your followers in an hour. Yep
That's an interesting experiment 25 bucks. That's how worth it. How could you explain how could you explain that to a caveman what you did today?
How did you do that?
You have to explain money right I
Gave things of value
To someone else so that other people could listen to what I said.
Do you think, sorry, this is somewhat unrelated.
Do you think it's even possible for all of you right now to somehow make it to zero followers?
If you had to start tweeting things that would get rid of all the false.
Yeah, I could loan my account to megast 64.
Do you think you could actually get to zero followers?
So you can't say there's no bot.
Let's say there's no bots.
You can't block them out.
I can piss off everybody.
I don't think you could.
I wonder how low you could get.
Like posting certain images.
Like racist, sexist.
I can drop to 25%.
You know what would be really scary?
If you started posting all these things
that you would think would lose your followers
and your count started to go up.
That'd be true.
I'm gonna fight.
It's like the thing with our YouTube accounts.
What do you mean?
We physically could not post a video and get no views.
It would just never happen ever.
Like if someone said to me,
post a video, have it have no views
or like all of your family dies.
I'd be like, my family's dead.
There's no way.
I can't actually do that.
I put it on listed video.
That's cheating.
There's just like, yeah, if you're like,
don't watch my family dies,
we'll be like, I got to check the shit out.
Even if I post a video with that,
with that caption,
and I had to get less than 1,000 views,
it would still get more than 1,000 views.
And that's what's crazy about this whole numbered
profile based stuff.
Is it it gets to the point where you can't go low anymore?
Well, Snapchat has no fellow original.
Like, no metrics for that stuff.
Doesn't it?
No, you have no idea how many people are following
on Snapchat. Is it like, or how many people even watched your story? No. You have no idea how many people are following on Snapchat.
Is it like you, or how many people even watched your story?
I don't know how Snapchat is.
I believe that is correct.
Every time we go on Snapchat, we just like,
nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
So how did that go?
I was going to dance he ghost and then you know.
I was talking funny bases.
I was talking to a guy.
You were a guy.
And he said he was the most followed on Snapchat.
Yeah.
That wasn't a music account.
Do you remember who was the most,
remember the girl, the lady in the 92
called herself the most downloaded person on the page?
Oh, what was her name?
Danny.
Six bag.
Danny something.
And it was just things she said.
She said she was the most downloaded person on the internet.
And of course, nobody could refute that,
but she just like, she said that enough time
to where it became true.
I don't look at most downloaded. There's no way you could prove that woman unless you were the first result on a Google image search for boobs
Or woman or test
If you're the first return for is my internet working you will become the most downloaded person
Do you have a website that you always go to check to see if you're in set's working? It's like Google
Let's look at the page. Yeah, I go to the BBC website. So many that's weird. It doesn't matter at all
Yeah, interesting. Let me know why
Cindy Marles. Okay. Yeah, that's who less
I think it's like yeah, that was that was a long time ago. Yeah, there was like late 90s
I was like I was getting a hard drive though that saying that she was that's why we said that was they had a beef
But each other yeah
Over who was the most downloaded person woman on the internet?
Your name is Danny Ash
How popular do you think of all the miles in the world?
Where do you rank as far as like most popular most searched for miles? Oh, I'll never beat miles Davis
I don't know. I don't know are there any other famous miles? Searched for miles. Oh, I'll never beat miles Davis
I don't know. I don't know are there any other famous miles
Does my Lee count miles Davis my
Davis is the only thing I can think of that going for me
I don't know yeah Gavin the only other guy like there was a delete singer from Bush right Gavin Rosdale
Yeah, he's one what about about Gavin DeGroa?
Miles Teller. He's a living actor.
Fuck him. He's got 469,000 Twitter followers.
What a shit.
What does he play? Does he play anybody I know?
What does he do?
I'm gonna look at his name to be.
Let's get him a voice actor.
And then Miles Teller.
Let me see.
Miles Teller last role.
He's known for Fantastic Four.
What? I was thinking this the other day when we were interested in the budget.
I was thinking this the other day when we were interested in the budget.
Oh, he's not that good.
I think Richard's Miles Teller.
I think Megan interviewed him once.
Whenever we introduce someone new at their company,
and we have like a million Brian's and Chris's and all those things now.
A million every time.
I'm so happy that there's not really another Miles that I've run into yet.
The day, if we ever hire another
miles I'll be very very upset.
That's him. Oh yeah I know that did face. He didn't
play read Richard catch according to Josh
pasta on Twitter. Cut it. You can see how many views you got on
your story on Snapchat. Oh you can? Yeah. How many did you get?
What? I don't know. Yeah. You have a story on Snapchat?
No.
Get on Snapchat.
Make funny faces. I'll watch your snapshots.
I sure can. I'll start.
Gavin did a long periscope this weekend.
He did a 30 minute periscope.
What are you doing?
Was it 30 minutes?
It was like 28 minutes ago.
I have to hang out.
We had like a dodgy prop.
So Dan drove off to get a new one.
There was an air back.
So I was just waiting in my house.
So I just did it very good.
So I just do it, because it's just like,
yeah, it's just killing time, it was fun.
I feel like Periscope has definitely died down
in pop-up areas.
I feel like everything has,
and Snapchat's just taking over everything.
I got like 12,000 viewers in Periscope,
I don't even know if that's good.
I still want to understand Periscope.
Is it really good at one time, or?
I've never seen this, right?
Okay.
I'll do it if I'm like,
I've done it a couple times,
because I've been bored, but I don't like it when
people go out to have a good good time with friends and then someone starts
Parascoping I hate that like it's like I'm very careful to tell people that
That's right. I wish there was a red light on top of it to like indicate that you're recording just like where we not enough
You had to go you were bored with us. You had to bring a bunch of other bring like a thousand people over yeah to hang out
I didn't see some time straight. I just a live in a long time. And I was paroscoping a walk over to Fantastic Fest
with Ashley, we were walking over from,
we were gonna go see laser team.
We were walking over from the house I've got
that's close to that LMO, that my old house,
we parked there and then walked back over.
And I was, we were paroscoping as we were walking,
like, oh, we used to take this walk all the time
and we lived over here and all the stuff.
And then we got to the front of the alamo
and run into Elijah.
And I was just like, I'm Paris Goping, this is live.
Just because you never know.
I mean, it's like, yeah, yeah.
And then it's like, I'm the weirdo
who's walking around with a live streaming camera
and I was having a great, haven't seen you in a while.
But you should have immediately just closed it.
I mean, fuck it.
Ah, yeah, I closed it right away, I said that.
But it's like, you never know.
Bye. Yeah. Of course, that close it right away, I ask that. But it's like, you never know. Bye.
Yeah.
Of course, that should happen while you're live on camera.
Oh, people are cringing,
because we don't understand Snapchat.
Well, get over it.
It gives a shit.
It's fucking, it's lame.
So, and I'm sure we'll all have accounts in like two years.
It'll be too late to the effect of it's Snapchat.
But I really just, it's not that I don't,
I'm happy that people have Snapchat,
and I wanted them to go to it. I just am done with, I'm done that people have Snapchat and I want them to go to it.
I just am done with.
I'm done.
I want to go any further.
I think we've talked about this before with me.
I prefer text to the communication video.
It's the reason I never join Instagram back in the days.
I don't want to take pictures and have that be my message.
I'd rather just type something.
Yeah, that's why I ended up falling in love with Twitter was,
can I be funny in 140 characters?
Yeah, and then become, and not like sometimes I'll just be like,
ugh, like I felt bad, it felt bad, was it last Saturday?
I was trying to work from home,
and I had the worst case of writer's block I'd had in ages.
And because normally like from having a shitty day,
I can vent to carry or something,
but I was working at home alone,
and I would like subconsciously just tweet
like a passive aggressive Kylo Ren asked tweet.
And I didn't realize I did like six times that day and you texted me it like six like
Hey, okay, big guy. Yeah, I was like you were one of six people that texted me that night and I was like man
I sound like a bitch on Twitter. I it's fine. Everything's fine. And then that made it worse. Yes the other guests the other five people
We're the other five people originally people yep all five of them

It was a response to Siri fucking shit up.
Oh, was it?
Yeah, I could Siri, I always asked Siri to do something,
and then she can't.
So, I texted you at 7.40 last week.
She does the same fucking thing to me,
and then three hours later, you just responded with cunt.
I fucking hate Siri, you can't do that.
Let me fix Siri yet. Like, will she do something now? I don't know, you wanna try? Oh my god. She will try to mend it. I'm gonna be sick, so yeah, like we should do something now.
I don't know, you wanna try?

What was it? Yeah.
Jew jugs, the seven was it?
Oh, heavy Jewish boobs.
Heavy Jewish boobs.
Jew jugs.
That's way better.
That's way better.
You made it worse.
But when Sasha Baron Cohen came out dressed as Ali G
to do a presentation, I was like, oh God.
Are they all see us?
Yeah, he did, really?
Yeah, he resurrected his Ali G character.
When was the last time he was Ali G?
I was like, I saw, I was like, I cannot think of the last time I saw
LED do something.
It's so funny because every, I noticed, I was, I was not watching the Oscars,
I was just following along on Twitter, that's how I was doing it.
Yeah, can I, I wish there was a mute, like there's a mute for an hour or day or whatever.
There were a trade for award shows.
I would pay money on Twitter and Facebook
to have a mute this person until after the next election.
And then it's just like,
the moment the election happens in your town
or that person's town, then all of a sudden they're back.
There's some people that are just fucking relentless
with politics.
If they are just fucking relentless.
I feel like there's something different
about this election where I have had so many people come to my door to give something different about this election where I have had
so many people come to my door to give me literature
about this election.
Really?
Like, nonce, I've never had this happen before,
but it's like multiple times a day,
like, oh, someone's outside my door.
No one's coming to my house.
Cool, they're gonna tell me to vote for so-and-so.
Like, I don't give a fuck about any of this.
You know what, we can't vote it.
What?
You vote it already.
I voted early, I'm done. Being foreign and unable to vote. Yes. Don't get any
of that. Get none of it. I didn't really really interesting tweet that somebody put out,
which is that it was from a Muslim woman and she said, if, you know, people on the right
can't seem to understand how the Muslim world could be dominated by a small minority that's,
you know, wrapped up with these demagogues.
Well, here you go.
This is what it's like.
And you're in your country and it's like, there's people in this country that are like
such polar opposites of the rest of the country yet somehow, somehow they're dominating the
news.
And now America looks like a racist, like, isolationist nation.
You know how Donald Trump sees everyone all the time?
Does he?
Well, apparently like soot.
He likes saying he can't sue people.
Yeah.
If I just reply to every one of his tweets with shot up,
can he sue me?
No.
I think I might start doing that.
I mean, he can sue you.
For that?
You can be sued.
You can sue for anything.
Yeah, you can sue for anything.
I mean, he wouldn't win though.
Probably not, but he could hurt you.
Take it a court.
Or out in the parking lot.
Well, let's just get everyone to do it
and then he wouldn't know who to sue.
And that's what we're doing.
Oh, on this very video coordinated the entire assault.
I also wonder too, it's like this is a story about Gauker
this weekend how they pulled a prank on Donald Trump
and they got him to retweet a Mussolini quote. Oh yeah. And it's like and they said they worked on
it for like a year or something like that. They got the plan went into play a long time ago. They
made like accounts that would tweet them all the time as bots and tweet inspirational quotes.
And they were thinking he said it. Well, they're all like from fascists, you know, and so they were
trying to get him to retweet a quote from a fascist and he recouped retweeted this
most leaning quote which was better to live one day as a lion than a
thousand years is it a hundred years as a sheep yeah like that that's a
really all that's not that's like a hundreds of years old that quote a big
attributed to Mussolini yeah this is the anyway I think it's a Mussolini quote
I think he stole it. Maybe he did.
Bastard.
But anyway, it starts again like,
why the fable?
Who's wasting their time doing that?
Don't they realize you're just like,
it's like the people who do that stuff,
they don't realize they're getting someone they don't like.
And I'm sure there's people who listen to podcasts
who think Trump's great, want to vote for him.
And they should do that if they want to.
But these people obviously don't like Trump.
And they're doing this thing.
They spend so much time doing it.
They're just getting a more press, which obviously is something that he's working very well for him,
getting all of that press every time he says something in flammatory.
So it's like to add flame to that fire does not help like suppress him in any way.
It's just like it just adds to the mystique of Donald Trump.
There's literally nothing at this point that could happen with Donald Trump that would like, like you said,
going to his zero followers.
It's like, what could he say?
He did make the joke about walking out on the street
and shooting people, and he would still win the election.
And it's like, I should say the primary,
not the actual election itself.
But it's like, and it's, it's, it's true.
And even that like ridiculous statement
added to his mystique in some way.
It's just, man, he was good in Heimelain too.
Was he in Heimelain too? a man. He was good in home alone too. Was he in home alone too?
Yeah.
I forgot he was in a suss.
I saw a screenshot of that the other day.
I don't know the name of the app.
I don't know, I don't remember the guy's name
the name of the app.
So we're having a blind date now because
I guess that's the whole time.
No, no, I think I'm very happy that everyone's asking
about it.
If I say I'm unhappy about it, they'll ask me about it.
So I'm super happy about it.
I would be happy to help if I could, but I'm not sure.
You seem a little bit minced off today.
Why don't I see you last week too?
What's been going on?
Ma?
You're doing well.
You're on TV all the time.
You're naïve.
What am I mad about?
You've been extra salty the past two years.
I was upset last week because you guys didn't understand
the TV thing.
Let's put a slog on him and see what happens.
I'm super, I'm, what was it?
What?
I get it. Because like the salt. Oh, I see. I'll I say the snail I hate to phrase salty. I'm done with that phrase. You don't like salty
I'm just done with it. It's just like people use it too much people have overused it too much
Yeah, like what I do I'm not see I don't want to seem like I, like what? I do, I'm not gonna say, I don't wanna seem like I'm deflecting, but I do wanna talk
about the, the, the, the shit storm that Gus caused.
That is a deflection.
That is a deflection.
I'm a little, no, no, no, no, I, I won't even talk about it then.
I won't even talk about it, because I don't wanna deflect.
You don't wanna deflect?
I feel fine.
I feel good.
Right.
I'm, I'm pretty happy.
I'm a little tired.
I'm tired.
It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I got called to do one of the most incredible things I've ever done in my life like this being the 29th of February
This is the end of the first two months of 2016 the first two months of 2016 have been
Like beyond my wildest expectations of how awesome a
Few months could be it's just been incredible the first part of 2016
It makes me wonder what the rest of this year will be like
If what the first two months of this year have been so fucking incredible
We have a laser team. We had a crap to start 2015. It's a nice. Oh my god
I know right? It's team was the worst year ever and it's so hard to believe there's only a year ago
Yeah, you know, it's just like we we talked about it on a
Monti's passing on a
On a post show we didn't talk about it much on the podcast,
but it's this crazy, it seems like it was so fucking long ago.
So long ago.
Crazy.
But yeah, compared to the two years, it's just like,
it sounds, and in 2015, it turned out to be overall a good year.
Had this horrible thing that happened at the beginning of it,
but it's like the way 2016 just started, it's been nuts.
Anyway, I feel like I shouldn't talk about that now
because of what we just mentioned. But yeah, but it's like, the way 2016 just started, it's been nuts. Anyway, I feel like I shouldn't talk about that now because of what we just mentioned, but yeah,
but it was good, it was crazy.
So last week I got called out to go do this thing,
which I can't talk about, but I would love to talk about,
and you'll be able to see it hopefully in Christmas.
I just got asked to do this thing that was just like,
nuts, nuts, it was fucking nuts.
And I was like, and this is like,
after being invited to the White House and everything
Which also was fucking crazy fucking crazy. This is like
Well, it's just two different worlds, but it was like it was on par with that for sure
I was like I was like what I got this phone call. I was like yeah
I'll go do that
But even move the shoot up a week and I was like I don't care. I'll still come out. I don't give a shit
Bring it on so you flew out with then like I think I was noticed and you know something day
Well, it was supposed to be this coming Thursday
and Friday, Friday we're gonna shoot it.
And then something changed.
And I lie on my social media.
I say that I live in Los Angeles
because when opportunities pop up in Los Angeles
like meetings or whatever,
I don't want people to go,
oh, we'll just talk to you next time you're in town
or have it be inconvenient.
This was a great example of that.
Where they were like, well you're in Los Angeles.
So we wanna do this thing with you and I was like,
okay, I'll do that.
And then it said, okay, it's Thursday and Friday of next week.
And this was on Tuesday.
And I said, okay, that's fine, I can make that work.
Then on Wednesday they call me back and they go,
oh, we changed it up.
It's not gonna be Thursday and Friday of next week.
It's now Thursday and Friday of this week.
So can you make it?
It's like Wednesday at 5 p.m.
And I was like, well, what time is the call time in the morning?
They said 8.30 a.m. That's like before any flight gets into LA and I was like, I was like,
yeah, I can do it.
They go, you sure won't be a problem?
I was like, yeah, I was trying to get them off the phone because they literally had to
go and run to the airport.
So I'm hanging up that book.
Hey, book a flight as you run to the airport.
Exactly what I was doing.
That's exactly how I did it.
So, and you know what, I used miles.
Hi, Miles.
Hi, what's up, buddy?
I used airline miles.
Dude, it was like, that's the way to book last minute.
I got a trip to LA and back for like 12,000 miles a day.
Yeah, I've never had that.
So, and then it was like, so it cost me 11 bucks to do that.
I love when you redeem miles for like that.
Like, yeah.
That's what I do.
It was really cool.
You redeem miles?
So, yeah, I'll be able to, this is not like the,
I know I'm in the past, I've made fun of people saying,
I have a secret project, I can't tell you about,
but that's your project when people do that.
Like they know they can't talk about it,
but this is something where it's like,
this is somebody else's thing that I was involved with,
and it's as I'm able to tell you.
Two different things.
Well, I think it actually is entirely different
because it's me.
So, that's the real difference.
That's the real difference. I'm just super excited about it.
You can't take that away from me.
And I'm not salty.
I don't know why you guys think I'm salty.
No, I mean, I would have guessed it term salty.
I would have just used minged off as much as I had.
Possibly minged off.
About what?
Well, that's what we want to find out.
We're friends.
Do you think I have anything to say about?
You're a little bit like further to snap, Will.
Yeah.
I'm good.
I think I'm okay.
Yeah. I mean, I didn't get any like miles in Texas. I'm like further to snap. Bill. Yeah, I'm good.
I think I'm okay.
Yeah.
And you know when a snapchat might break out.
I mean, I didn't get me like, Miles didn't text me and ask me how I'm doing.
Like I didn't get him.
I didn't do that.
How do you keep track of everyone's going on on social media?
You see everything somehow.
It's because you just sit around the home.
I'm like, you're my secret Gavin, are you ready?
Here's my secret.
I care.
That's it.
That's my whole secret.
If you could just adopt that philosophy to life You just care then you'd be in the
Diamond care diamond will never never never achieve that I care about I think I'll bring it up the next time
Like other people's problems are like there are problems to you like you're like oh can't be bothered. Why me?
Can I help with it?
Problem maybe you don't know what do you ask what if miles was having a having a big problem? Yeah, man
Well, I mean I'm mostly useless at most like what would I do who knows maybe he needs a ride me where I mean only wanted
I'm saying I can help him out. I mean you would you can you know like blow him or anything like that
Just help him out at whatever way he's doing sad face
Miles you're right, so we only have five minutes left That would be part of them. Just help them out in whatever way you can. He's still in sad face.
Miles, you all right?
So we only have five minutes left.
I'm gonna go.
Because it's too much of a deflection to talk about how
you pissed off the entire audience.
Can you talk about it?
It wasn't the entire audience, by the way.
What happened?
Don't know about being salty.
You were salty.
I sought to proactively end a problem.
That's a great way to phrase a Gus.
That's a way to phrase it, guess. So a way to phrase it
miles. So I want to point out before you get to it that it was honestly not that
many people. It was a very vocal group. That was and the tweet that started
all was my most like tweet of the month of February. Really? So it wasn't like
everyone was pissed off. There were people who definitely liked it as well.
Just everyone focuses on the negative.
Doggo is probably like that.
Miles Stex, you asked me from doing okay.
I'm doing great Miles, thanks for asking.
I love you here.
Glad to hear you.
So on the Ristis Subreddit, someone made a thread that was like.
On the previous podcast.
On the previous podcast, I explained that my dog throws up sometimes.
When it doesn't eat.
But it doesn't eat as dogs do sometimes.
So on the Ristis Subreddit subred it someone posted wait somebody wrote a script
I want to see if you stay to the script go ahead someone roasted hey
I
I heard the most recent podcast Gus says his dog throws up sometimes and I seem to recall he says he has a Yorkie
There's a common problem 50% of Yorkies. They have this disorder where blah blah blah
He really needs to take his dog to a vet and see if his dog has this medical problem my dog's not a Yorkie
And I when I read that essentially the post said to me, hey Gus
You're an idiot if your dog is sick you should take it to the vet
Didn't but he didn't say exactly what you said right so I'm a grown man
I know if my dog sick I take it to the vet my dog has been to the vet about this specific problem
You know my vet said yeah, docs are up sometimes
That's it. That's why I like there was no further explanation of the story because that's like a boring part of the story
Just cut all that out just tell the interesting part
So then I wrote and then so then someone who the person who wrote that and then I think in the comments somewhere someone's like
We need to tell Gus this
So then my social media just started getting do you know you know I almost tried, I saw the post, I almost sent you a link to the post.
For you, I was trying to help.
Yeah, my dog is not New York.
It's people trying to help.
I don't have my New Yorkies.
It's useless help.
It's help that's missing form.
They don't even have all the facts.
It's still help.
It's not help.
It's the opposite of help.
It's noise.
It's useless gibberish that begins filling my feed.
Okay.
It's almost like a denial of service attack where I, you said how does Bernie keep up on
everyone?
I read everything that's sent to me on social media.
So when I start getting a lot of the same shit over and over, it's disruptive because then
it's like I'm missing actual messages and actual communication.
Okay, so you got to deal with some times.
So I thought, okay, I thought in my head, this is going to be a big deal.
I'm going to start seeing this a lot. Let me just send a typical angry Gus tweet
that people will see him be like,
oh yeah, Gus saw, he knows how Gus is always angry.
But people got fucking mad because this guy was just trying,
and I wasn't mad at the guy.
I mad at the constant flood and the barrage of it
being sent to me.
And then someone else was like,
I looked at this Twitter timeline.
He only got this sent to him twice which is bullshit
I don't know if that person doesn't know how to search Twitter or if they don't see everything
to me that it sounded like a really angry tweet but it's from you
it's just and that's like your character right and also I've known you online
for like 12 years or something whenever to win 2003 13 years ago yeah and you were way worse
right then it was way worse by then,
I was way worse. Like you would yell at me constantly as a
conform member and I'd be like, angry.
I think people are just way more sensitive.
Yeah, one person tweeted at me like, I've been a sponsor for 11
years and this is the most ass and I tweet I've ever seen.
I guarantee you there are way more ass and I.
That's the most ass and I tweet you've ever seen.
You were having a wonderful experience on the internet.
Keep it up.
So many times like it.
It's time that we got an argument about the late night talk
show host and how I was just saying, no one's going to care
about remember there was this big ground swell of support
for Conan O'Brien and like the rallies outside of the NBC
studios and everything.
And it was like the most important thing in the world was
to keep Conan O'Brien on the tonight show on NBC.
And I was like, and then he was moving to TBS.
And I was like, no one is gonna care.
Nate in like six months, no one's gonna bring this up.
No one's gonna give a shit.
And when somebody wrote us and was like,
like breaking down my opinion, and I was like,
I was like, fuck that guy.
Let me read this.
All right, well, fuck you, Jay Ordan.
It was Jordan Srirst.
And I was like, before he worked for us.
And I was like, I was tearing into it.
And it's just funny how that became, but I mean, I was like, I was tearing into it. And it's just what he had that became,
but I mean, he could have very easily been upset by that.
My thing is, I don't know if yours
think falls in this category, I gotta be honest with you guys.
My thing that I've said countless times
is that this is primarily a comedy show.
And like, one of the ways that we have comedy
the show is we're okay with getting mad at each other.
Like legitimately, I can get mad and scream a game for 10 minutes
and then go, oh hey, what was the thing you were telling me
about the train that you were on?
Like, it's like, I can merely change gears.
I think it's good if we get rid of sometimes.
Yeah, and then all the time, sleeping eye patches and shit.
Yeah.
And I say this about people with a panel, too.
Like, when we go to panels, when we take Q and A,
I try to warn people of this, like, when you come up to the mic,
you are then part of the show.
Yeah.
And it's like, you gotta think about that experience of like,
when you step in and you get involved, I don't know that someone trying to help
Gus with a helpful tip about their dog falls, in that particular category.
No, a helpful tip.
The tip was take your dog to the vet.
I'm not a 12 year old.
I took my dog to the vet.
I love my dog more than I like any other person in the world,
except for my wife.
It's like my wife and my dog.
Maybe.
I'm maybe everybody else can kiss my wife. It's like my wife and my dog. Maybe. And everybody else can kiss my ass.
And it's like, it's like my dog is on a pedestal.
The first time he threw up, I thought he was dying.
You know, I rushed into the...
I swear Prince!
So let me ask you a question then.
So then why bring up the dog?
If the dog is off limits as a topic,
why bring up the dog?
He's not off limits as a topic. It's just I is not off limits as a topic is just I was talking about how
He throws up sometimes and I have to deal with that but doesn't that doesn't that then
People want to participate in conversation because you didn't bring it up as it was a problem that need to be so
Just happened to finally mention it and someone else was like there's a fucking
It was just like it was just like trying to help but sometimes that doesn't I mean
I've mentioned it's having field of fire like you were talking about earlier like when I had my mopey kai
Little renda on Twitter. I did the same thing where I was like I'm getting a bunch of people asking my phone
Okay, I should just go ahead and just end this I did a tweet. I was like hey didn't realize I was being a bitch on Twitter
I'm totally fine though twice the amount of tweets. Are you really okay though?
Hey, hey follow and DM me we'll talk this through and it's like
Blink why not you're not okay. Yeah, no, it's just like
Stop by the way, I find out recently you don't need to follow anybody DM them if they follow you
You can DM them and then they can respond to your DMs
So they can just want you that's your change right once you open that chain of command or chain of conversation
Then they can but some people have DMs on by default. You sure it's not just that. Oh
If you checked what I don't and they can DM me back, it's what I'm saying. If I DM somebody,
they can DM me back even if I don't follow them. Fair cop. Because I've said, hey, let's have a conversation.
Let's do this. I think they probably made that change when they made limitless characters and
DMs. Okay. Probably about that same time. Which seems like that's sort of always been the case.
Yeah, that's weird. Yeah. I do not like their idea to have like 10,000 characters
in tweets or whatever that is.
Yeah.
I think that's a mistake.
Yeah, they've said that they wanna have 10,000 characters
in tweets and there's another change that's stupid.
What is the other one?
It's not the one they're talking about.
They might read word of the tweet.
Oh, right, I'm gonna work.
It's not chronological anymore.
It'll be sorted by what's most relevant to you.
It's like, it's kinda like, it's something reddit.
It could be good.
I only read replies, so I don't think I'll notice that I you know it's something when they add something to Twitter
Yeah, let me tell you what they had some of you Twitter Gavin. I never see it like I didn't know they had polls on Twitter for
months
Like until last month. I wasn't where the polls on Twitter
Post people have always been out of the sun. I thought. I thought that you were supposed to reply back to the person,
but there's a selection where you can actually vote.
If you use tweet bot, you don't see it.
I don't see it.
And now there's this GIFs button.
And everyone's all excited that Twitter now has GIFs.
Twitter's had GIFs since the beginning of time.
What do you mean?
It's embedded now.
You can search within Twitter.
Yeah. What happened?
GIFs? You don't have to go out.
No GIFs.
You have to go out and find it and embed it.
It's like you click a GIF button and they show up and then you just do it
It's like if you had emojis right you just go down
What do you mean if I had them? I emojis all day so if they're right next to emojis button
There was a gift button you just click on the button
And it's like do you want Michael Jackson even pop? Go on cuz we got it. Why were you tweeting when when you were talking about this emoji?
Oh, I wanted to know like so I tweeted this emoji which is two hands up with like a little raise of sunshine come out of them
What does that mean? I wanted to know, so I tweeted this emoji, which is two hands up with a little rays of sunshine, come out of them.
What does that mean?
Imagination.
We were having a, that's what some people said.
That was like problems.
It's from SpongeBob.
Yeah, but a bunch of people said
the SpongeBob imagination thing.
I always think it was like, you know, yeah,
let's worship this guy.
I worship you.
Yeah, I was doing like a cow-towing thing.
But we had a debate whether or not
that was a religious icon.
And about half the people said it was religious
and half the people, it's like the one that people
don't know if it's a prayer or a high five.
Right.
Oh, God.
The one of these is all those emojis
are just like, they all have like four or five meanings.
What is the happy face that has a dollar sign for the mouth?
What is that?
I have no idea.
Is that like your money way your mouth is? That's me twice a month. for the mouth. What is that? I have no idea. Is that what your money wear your mouth is?
That's me twice a month.
That makes sense.
They have a new emoji that I use for everything now.
And it's just the emoji that's doing this.
That's it.
I love every situation.
Every situation.
My dog just died.
I love creepy smiley emoji that has just like blank eyes
but then the smile that goes across
that's my favorite emoji.
All right, and the one I use to send to most people too
is just the one that's just the normal eyes
and the straight line mouth.
Just a good one.
And that's pretty good.
I like to smiley face with a gun next to it.
Wait, what?
That's my favorite combination.
It's not, oh, okay.
That was like, the smiley face and then the gun next to it.
I like to think her emoji.
I could use it for just about anything.
Yeah, that's a good one too.
All right, well, it's about time to wrap up.
All right.
No, let's not wrap up.
What are we gonna talk about? Do we give Gus enough shit about this dog thing yet?
It's not gonna be shit.
So people will like, you're justifying me.
People will like, man, I guess Gus is an asshole.
Yeah, I've just realized Gus is not something.
That means, that's not a revelation.
No, but he's like, that's what you do.
That's what I do.
And we love you for it.
You do it very well.
If everyone was nice, it'd be so boring.
You gotta have some controversy.
Some conflict.
Conflict needs to exist.
I should point out, I know I should bring this up
and dig this hole any deeper for you,
but Gus really is always that way.
He would yell at Gavin in forums.
Gus at running a booth at Comic Con
is the worst thing ever.
Because, or the worst thing ever.
It depends on how you look at it.
Because when Gus and I are in the booth together,
here's exactly what will happen.
There'll be a line to get something signed and buy something,
and it'll be about a two-minute line.
And then I will show up at the booth,
and I will sit there and chitchat
with everyone individually for four or five minutes,
and then our line becomes a 60-minute line.
And Gus fucking hates that.
He's like, you're fucking,
you're making everybody wait around for 60 minutes.
So he'll like, you, what are you doing?
What do you want?
Get out, you.
Is it just buying something?
You guys have a sign?
No, get the fuck out.
Why are you standing there?
Why are you blocking the way?
You know, it's tough like that.
And I think that that is like being really rude to people.
That's way worse.
But me, like sitting there and like chatting it up
and then, you know, people have to wait 60 minutes
to chat it up.
Some people don't want to do that.
They're just like waiting in the 60 minute line
because of my sorry.
It's just a sensitive online audience these days.
It really is.
It's way worse.
And it's not bad thing maybe.
Maybe it's not bad things.
It's just very different than what I grew up
with on the internet.
Back in my day.
Yeah, it's weird.
It's really like super easily offended.
I guess well, no, it's not that everybody's more easily
offended.
I think it's the people that are easily offended
have become more vocal.
Because if everybody online,
if everybody that's online was the same type of person
out walking the street,
it would be pandemonium in the streets.
You see people that are like,
there's one person that are between
like oh so-and-so fictional character died
and I've been sick for like three days.
And I'm thinking what's gonna happen
when someone you actually know does?
Like they can't be real though, right?
That's why I kind of ask people,
like I know when they're having a bad day on Twitter
and they're, you know, Kylo Ren.
I'll ask them because there's so many people on Twitter
that I want to ask that to all the time.
It's like, you seem upset like 98% of the time.
Are you okay, but it sounds aggressive
if I ask that person, are you okay?
Is like, is everything okay?
Well, what level do you have to know someone to have that?
Like, what level would you have to know somebody
to have like an intervention with that person?
I haven't reached that level yet with anybody, so.
I can't imagine you have.
I've had that with people here, it's like,
you don't look me in the eye ever.
Like, what's happened here?
What's going on?
Do you say that to them though?
No.
It's like, there's like, there's like, one person I'm thinking of, just never looks at me. What's happened here? What's going on? Do you say that to them though? No.
Yeah.
There's like, there's like one person I'm thinking of.
Just never looks at me.
I gotta find out who this is afterwards.
I'll say you off to.
Okay.
I'll find out who this is afterwards.
What?
What happened, man?
I'm really...
Okay, we'll finish it up in the post.
Discussion.
Alright.
What are you doing here?
Get the fuck out.
What are you doing here?
He's like, I don't understand. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
