Every regular curse. Every other week now.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Yeah. Every other week. I hear the coffee machine going off. If Christopher walks up here with a fucking couple coffee, I'm gonna lose it. I think you need to mess with the Google calendar thing. Because right now at Google calendar, you have it exactly at five.
Starting point is 00:01:38 You should make that 445s and then it'll just be late. It's not gonna work. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. What time we put the podcast out. No, do you do that miles? Do you ever like set your watches ten minutes ahead? No. I'm just gonna be late to work on any kind of stuff. I don't know. I'm taking a check with Tommy, put the podcast out. No, do you do that miles? Do you ever like set your watches 10 minutes ahead?
Starting point is 00:01:48 No, God no. I just set a lot of reminders on my phone. I just ask Siri to never leave me alone ever, so that I don't forget things, because I have a terrible memory. I'm also like one of those people that like, when I fall asleep, I'm super optimistic about the person that I'm gonna be tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And it's like, oh, I'll just get up at like six, so that I don't get this done and done whatever. And then it's like seven oh, just get up at like six. So don't get this done and all that stuff. And then it's like 7.45 and they're gonna be a work at eight. I'm just like finally getting out of bed. For the first, it's been a long time since this happened, but last weekend, I woke up Sunday morning. Normally I wake up at 7.30 in the morning. I had my alarm set for 7.30.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Sunday morning, I woke up. He's got a fucking hot cup of coffee. You're late and you stopped to get coffee What you let him let him get to the mic I used to joining us all heard you bring it up for the fucking class. All heard was I you I You didn't even bring the coffee. I know I I was it doing the thing you asked me to do And I said I think go to the podcast. He asked me to sign up for the podcast. Let's play and we're filming a podcast Let's play tomorrow. So I had Chris. Oh, coming into the time. I was doing that. I was working on the podcast. I was working on the podcast. And then you said,
Starting point is 00:02:48 I'm gonna go change and then I was like, okay, I'm gonna go and I was trying to change my password. And I wouldn't let me log into my X-Russian account because I had to have a Skype account. I don't understand that. Chris, if I'm going to sum up your argument here, you were in the other room on an Xbox signed in to your gamer tag so that you could download the game necessary for us to play in the podcast Let's play tomorrow. Yes Gus you're a bottle It's five o'clock. I was in that room as well and I left it I'm gonna get changed because I got to go get ready for the podcast Yeah, and then I and then I like zoned out cuz it was like I was having to log in to different accounts
Starting point is 00:03:20 It was merging with Skype and then it got is a mess a mess. And I don't know what time it is, but I think I spent like 45 minutes trying to reset password. Just out of curiosity, why are we doing a podcast? Let's play again. Like what's going on? I've been wanting to get it started back up.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Oh, okay. And finally, have a space for it and have a setup to do it. And there seem to be a little bit of a hubbub over the first one that I saw, which was you and I believe Barbara. Barbara and I believe Blaine. And I believe George Sharers.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Bethany. Bethany. Close. Really close. Almost nailed it. I get them confused all the time. All the time. She draws about as well as he does.
Starting point is 00:03:54 So you guys play something, but there was a little bit of controversy that you put that Let's Play video on the Rishi channel versus on the Let's Play video. I did not put that video anywhere. Okay. I turned that video in and then the powers that be put it wherever they put it. Who are these powers that be? Do you not be a power? It's Evan video anywhere. Okay. I turned that video in, and then the powers that be put it wherever they put it. Who are these powers that be? Do you not be a power? It's Evan and Melissa.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Okay. I don't know. They asked me to start doing them again. I started it, and I just gave them the video, and they do it. Yeah. I do not log in and upload that video. I got into a really funny discussion
Starting point is 00:04:18 the other day with somebody where there was something going on with the company, and I was like, I don't know if I agree with the way this group is doing this particular thing, and somebody in the room does what someone typically does when I say something like that, they go, well, why don't you just tell them to do it the other way? It's like, well, then why would a hire people
Starting point is 00:04:31 if I'm just gonna sit there and tell people I can have to do things this way or that way? And I think if I went to that person who suggested that to me and said, you have to do things exactly as I say, it would be like a long drag not fine. I know what went. When I started telling people that I was doing a podcast,
Starting point is 00:04:44 let's play again, immediately like Trevor and all those first questions were like, where's that going? Where you uploading that? Trevor? Yeah, I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm just turning in a video. Not the right person to ask.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Man, there was a video I turned in that like didn't come out for months. I was gonna say it was the Greg Miller game time video that I did last ever game time. Rest in peace, game time. Gone. So, yeah, so, and I think I turned that in about a month and a half later it came out.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I wanna say. Geez. Yeah, that was surprising to me. We have three videos that I wanted to make for a really long period of time that we made that are really funny and we've been sitting on these things coming out but now they're finally coming out.
Starting point is 00:05:23 They're gonna come out after MDB finishes its season. Can I ask? Are they those videos that I have an OBS present for? And is... Yes. Yes. It's those? Oh my god. Those interview videos.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. It was a fun take on interviews. Interesting. I'm just super excited that that's finally coming out. Oh, me too. You'll be fine, Chris. You'll be fine. Hey, you know what I'm doing is I'm having to go through and
Starting point is 00:05:48 edit the fucking Drunk red versus blue because my else open is fat fucking mouth no offense What was the podcast where I wasn't here and you started talking about oh? It was I don't know why not either you was it was the one you were flying so lame and miles Yeah, no one knew about that thing until miles like, here's why, consider that my revenge. Okay, for every B14 and saying, hey, Bernie, you've been late on this deadline for a while.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yeah. I love you, I respect you. Cohen's gonna rip my dick off if we don't get a script from you soon. Where's that script? You know, I can be out there. I got a great idea. I got a great idea.
Starting point is 00:06:25 You told me the idea. I said, I love the enthusiasm. That's a terrible idea. Yeah, it was. Tell me the idea. The idea was, we're gonna get, you said, you're gonna take episode two, season one of the Blood Gold Chronicles.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Gonna get everybody that was in that. It was Jason, Matt, Gus, Jeff, and yourself, and Gus. And, I appreciate it. You're welcome. And you were gonna get shit house drunk. Yep. And then see if you could record the episode from memory with me serving as a narrator to somewhat nudge.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Prompt us. Just to prompt. And I say, You're terrible at that job. That's all I'm gonna say. I didn't get a chance to do that fucking job. I was too busy watching our CEO cry and Jeff break classware. Soon you'll be able to see it as well.
Starting point is 00:07:11 No spoilers. No spoilers. We made it to the second line. They were like burning people up. They were like, Bernie, can you select a clip from it that we can show this week? And I'm like, I'm sure I can. I can just throw a rock onto the keyboard
Starting point is 00:07:23 and whatever it lands on, that's our clip. But, but at the end of it, when it was all said and done, you're like, I know we'll get a video out of this though. We're definitely gonna upload it at some point. And I said, okay, really? And you're like, oh yeah, we'll edit it down. And enough time it passed. And then, you know, mom and dad weren't here on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I saw my opportunity. I knew that if I opened my big fat mouth, then maybe we'd get to see it. You're welcome in that. Mr. my big fat mouth, they may be able to get to see it. You're welcome. And that's the man of the people Miles Luna goes in and throws everybody else under the bus, and now I've got to get this thing out there. It's a pretty good device for that.
Starting point is 00:07:55 But yeah, but that was because everyone got us all the way to 10,000 first subscriptions during first week promotion. I was very clearly on the podcast thing that was not gonna happen. We were not gonna hit by this stuff. Genuinely surprised. I was too. I did not think we were gonna hit it. You know what?
Starting point is 00:08:13 We're doing it in the afternoon. I kinda wanna pre-bitch about something. Do it. I love pre-bitch. But the timing of it's weird. You can know what I'm talking about here. Gus. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I'm excited. We are up for a webbie. Oh, okay, yeah. For the Tinder trailer. That's bitch. So many, many years ago, and 13 years ago. 2004, we were up for best comedy site on the internet.
Starting point is 00:08:37 RedVersesBlue.com. Whoa. Was up for a comedy. What were the other nominees in the category? I was, the onion. Very clearly the onion. English. Whiteions. Very clearly the Unions. English White House. White House.com.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yep. I don't remember the other one. Dancingbaby.net. What's the dancing baby? I don't know. I don't know. It was just a long time ago. And so the way that the webbies give out
Starting point is 00:09:01 some of their awards are via public vote. And they of course, people's choice. People's choice, they say, go out and vote for, get your audience to vote for you. And man, our first year 2004, you know, we were nominated, really it was 2004 awards. So it was everything we did in 2003. And it was our first year, it was like,
Starting point is 00:09:17 this is so cool. We got the audience go in everything. You know, we're actually the audience, they're insane. They destroyed it, they absolutely destroyed it. For like two and a half weeks, we were promoting this vote. Modern humorist was the other one. Modern humorist clearly stood the test time.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Anyway, we were up against though, the big one was the onion, because the onion had never lost the comedy category ever in the history of the weddings. And so we asked the audience for what, two and a half weeks about? It was a pretty good push. It was a pretty quick for a while.
Starting point is 00:09:43 A long time. It just seemed like we were just starting out, seemed like a big deal to do it. And you could see the results of the vote after you voted. And so people would send us all the time screenshots of it. And like the community was tracking it. And we were like winning four to one. Like 80% to 20%.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah, we were just destroying it. But they do this thing on the webbies Where the last 24 hours they turn it dark and you can't see the results until they then announce it Somehow in the 24 hours that they turn it dark the onion passed us After three weeks of voting and they won the award No, and our audience because we've been talking about it for three weeks. They were like what happened? What do we do what happened and the've been talking about it for three weeks, they were like, what happened? What did we do? What happened? And the audience felt bad about it.
Starting point is 00:10:26 They were like, and nobody had any explanation for it. It's probably, Gus, would you agree? The number one reason why we don't, like especially the founding guys, we never asked the audience to vote on stuff for us or anything like that. It is absolutely the reason that we do that. One of, a few years ago, we were up for show of the year for the Streamies, and we waited till like the last week. And I was like, I wanted to like stab myself in the chest
Starting point is 00:10:52 before asking the audience to vote for it. Finally made that video ask the vote for us, and I wish I hadn't done that too. So I want to see here, just to show like how long, I think none of those other websites that were nominated for a humor that you're except for the onion exist. And I'm looking through the other nominees for other webbies in 2004. And I came upon community.
Starting point is 00:11:08 The winner for best community in 2004. Did anyone want to guess? No, let me think. No, no, no, no. No. Maybe FARC or Slash. It was live journal. Why live journal?
Starting point is 00:11:19 Yeah, I had a live journal. Was my space up there? Did you? I did. The other nominees were Wikipedia fiction alley dot org Friendster and suicide girls fucking friendster Friendster out of being my space and you didn't register like wasn't even on the way to say it's like there's a community
Starting point is 00:11:37 For sure Yeah, I thought it was just naked people People love naked people, Chris. Instagram, by the way, is constantly pushing on me to follow suicide girls. I said, okay. So I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing something right on Instagram
Starting point is 00:11:54 that's like, I'm sure you're not a bad algorithm. I heard a day that annoyed me. I did what? You had a tweet that annoyed me earlier today. You made an Instagram post, which was longer than 140 characters. Yeah. So then the tweet came through and like,
Starting point is 00:12:04 just ended like a quarter of the way through your thought. So then the tweet came through and like just ended like a quarter of the way through your thought. So then you click on the link and you go, yeah, I don't want to click on the fucking link. Guess what? Twitter, not Instagram. Don't fucking redirect me to another social site. That's how you get the clicks, buddy.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I clicked it, and I clicked it, then I instantly were good. I'm not clicking on your Instagram link. I thought it was a really good, it was hard felt. I like the lot. You should customize your message for the platform. Well, now help me out. You social media guru, you and your fucking velvet jacket,
Starting point is 00:12:30 looking all dapper over there. What should I do? What should I do? Obviously, the success it should be giving advice here. Clearly, I can fucked up. How should I have done that correctly? You should have written a separate 140 character message for Twitter.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Right that one. No, no, no. You're not. Look, look, look, look. There's an easy way. There's an easy way. You take a screenshot of your Instagram page I asked you to write that I know personally, less. Yeah. Like the more I view people's Snapchat, the less I like them.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Did you like my snap about Big Red this weekend? I did. See the thing I did. I'm an actor following you on Snapchat. I went to a restaurant, like a fast-meat place. They had like a big pole draft for just for Big Red. Huh. I've never seen that before.
Starting point is 00:13:21 It was amazing. Shit. It was fucking amazing. I don't use Snapchat for anything. I just have it open, so if people want to send me shit, they can send me shit. It's like, one of my only open platforms. I do it when I crave attention, but don't want to bother the people I know on Twitter. I mean, like, here's a filter of me with a nose.
Starting point is 00:13:35 No one needs to see this, but they might like you. Sweet likes. I feel validated. Are you looking at likes? Isn't that how Snapchat works? No, it works. Do views, little views. You really get nothing.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Look, I'm new to the Snapchat, and I just rediscovered my Instagram. I hadn't used it in five years, and I was like, oh yeah, I have this thing. Oh, it's fun to take pictures and apply filters and all the comments are like, he lives. You're back. Oh, so Twitter has my back.
Starting point is 00:14:01 They like my Instagram posts. So how do you like them, Apple? Fucking kiss asses. One of the things I'm trying to do is it was difficult for me to post a, and this shouldn't be this hard on our own site in 2017, it's hard to post an image in a journal on the site. Like you have to put it somewhere.
Starting point is 00:14:18 So I put it in my image gallery and I get it through there on our site, but I'm not sure like that's gonna show up on anybody's radar. I did the same post there, because I don't wanna make a post on Twitter and Instagram and not have there on our site, but I'm not sure that's gonna show up on anybody's radar. I did the same post there, because I don't wanna make a post on Twitter and Instagram and not have it on our site. Yeah, a custom post for a custom platform.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I got it. What's that, buddy? It's good, it's good, it's good. See, live journal, that's why you weren't on the community. I mean, in 2004. Made it to a live journal. You said you had one. What was it, tell me Chris, tell me about live journal.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Well, it was kind of, I mean, it was before, you could get Facebook in high school. Cause it was when Facebook was only college. So you had to have a college EDU. You had to have a university email. Yes, to sign up for Facebook. So it's kind of like the precursor for that. And it was a lot of people posting like,
Starting point is 00:14:57 really a SAPI like high school stuff. And then can't wait to be friends forever with all these people. And like, I know a lot of people would post poems and things like that I didn't really post that often what did you post Chris I was just like what was the name of your life journal I'm all I'm trying to find it right now get on I think I found your tumblr yeah is that a thing to people so I'm I'm a tumblr but it's mostly just reposting Instagrams.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I know that's what it is, right? What are we doing with our lives? It's a big circle. It is a big circle. Social media is a flat circle. So it's Tumblr is still going strong. It was a good time. Like if I want to, if I want to, I go to different places to read about different parts of the company. Like if I want to talk about Rue Chute, I go to Rue Chute or I might go to Twitter. If I want to talk about achievement hunter, I go to the subreddit.
Starting point is 00:15:51 If I want to talk about Ruby, I'm just gonna separate it for that too, but I mainly go to Tumblr to like see what people are saying about Ruby, you know? I mainly go to Tumblr for just fan art and stuff, that I think is really cool. But when we got to go to the Tumblr headquarters in New York, I don't think I've ever seen a website in real life, but the Tumblr headquarters is 100% like
Starting point is 00:16:12 if you were to take that website and visit it, they had monitors just playing random gifts everywhere and it was really trendy. It was cool. They were really nice. Yeah. What's the earliest site you remember like that earliest community site earliest community site? Shit Probably friends stir was there when geocities. I wouldn't really call geocity tripod There's not really wasn't a community website
Starting point is 00:16:33 It was like a platform to make your own personal website as opposed to like a uniform thing Okay, you two fuckers over here in the cat. Zanga. Yeah, y'all are there. Yeah, they're looking But it's really important to realize this because these were things that we would have put our business on when we started. Like a lot of people start today now, they start on YouTube, but they start on Facebook or whatever, and you look at everything that's happening.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I mean, it's like, that's, we didn't do that. We didn't go on fucking Geo Cities. Thank God, or Tripod. Can you imagine if we were a Tripod? Who bought Tripod? Like Yahoo, bought Geo Cities. And then just like shut it down, right? I think it's still around. Who bought Tripod? It's like a tripod. Who bought tripod? Like Yahoo, but Geocities. And then just like shut it down, right? I think it's still around.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Who bought tripod? It's like a treasure. And then just like shut it down. Like a tripod. Like a tripod. I don't know, but like a disease. Or an antiquated branch from the dot com era. That just, you know, they seemed like
Starting point is 00:17:22 these massive pillars of the internet. But guess what? Gone. Let me tell you something real fast about Lycos. Aside, you all, they seemed like these massive pillars of the internet. But guess what? Gone. Let me tell you something real fast about Lycos. Aside, you all probably have never heard of, right? Not once. In on May 16th 2000, they were acquired for $12.5 billion. Yeah. Fuck. Wow. And then you want to. Gone. What would they do? It was like a, it was a search engine. Oh, it was like a, like ass jeez, jeez died. Well, I always remembered when ICQ was bought by ALL and they were bought for $193 million.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Was it that much? I think it was. And I thought, okay, well, that's it. They got the messaging thing all locked up. Those guys were smart. They made a messaging client for the internet and then they sold to ALL for $193 million. Dude, every four years, there's been another messaging client
Starting point is 00:18:06 that they all do the same thing. I mean Snapchat does a couple of new things with the filters and all that, but really they all do the same goddamn thing and they get you to look, what's that? Sold for $18 billion. Yeah, and what's Snapchat supposed to be worth a ridiculous amount?
Starting point is 00:18:19 20 billion is something. Nice act to like us. Yeah. Oh, god damn. What's story Mark Cuban? You know know we sold the broadcast calm. Yep for like three I thought it was 200 million, but I could agree or having people know that Elon Musk was one of the original PayPal guys to Goofy old photos. Yeah, a little bit less hair. Yeah, you know, it's impressive You grew it yourself a thought you can get your hair back
Starting point is 00:18:41 That's impressively good. You sell PayPal, you can get your hair back. That's what I'm telling you that. He's just like, it's very stressful job. He's like, they're going, I gotta sell this company. Gotta get out of here. Then there's one of the few ones that I think continue success.
Starting point is 00:18:54 PayPal is still huge. Mm-hmm. It was like, I've got Venmo and shit, right? Yeah, that's the new competition is like that kind of stuff. I thought PayPal owned Venmo. I don't think so. No, no. I can, we had this discussion the other day.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh God. So we got for the last, second to last day of laser team shooting, which we just finished laser team two. Woo! We shot for very quickly. We went through it. It was just an easy shoot. And for the last, second to last day,
Starting point is 00:19:20 we got the Gordo's trailer, the Gordo's Donuts trailer, and a coffee cart for the whole crew the cast did that and so I paid for it and then Michael Nicole and Colton paid me back and Gavin is going to pay me back at some point which that money's gone at this point But they all wanted to pay me via Venmo and I was like, I don't know what this is I think I've heard of it, but I don't have it so I had to make an account so that they could pay me on Venmo Have you seen this guy? It's a wall where people's financial trends, that's like the ultimate oversharing. Have you not used it?
Starting point is 00:19:52 No, I do. I don't know. I don't know. Unless I want to do something embarrassing. Make a joke. But that's all it is. It's all it is. It's just stupid jokes.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And it's always the same joke. Yeah. It's always the same joke. It's a joke. Oh, here for Dildos. Every time. Everyone's paying each always the same joke. Yeah, yeah, it's always the same joke. Oh here for Dildos Every time everyone's paying each other Gus is buying a lot of Dildos It's like a memo field on a check. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty much so I saw I looked it up So we had a discussion about what is this Venmo is and well, they were like we like it because it's not PayPal
Starting point is 00:20:22 It is though and literally looked up the first headline I saw it was millennials like Venmo because they don't know its PayPal. Yeah, right here. I see that same article. Yeah. So brain tree, who podcast sponsor on enough in 2012, brain tree acquired acquired Venmo for $26.2 million. In 2013, PayPal acquired brain tree for $800 million.
Starting point is 00:20:42 800 million. That's a lot of millions. What was Paypal.com's original web address, young fellers. www.pleasingvossumoney.org. Gus, what was it? X.com. X. They had a single letter you are. That's how old that company is on the...
Starting point is 00:20:58 I think if you go to x.com, it redirects to Paypal. Let's try it out. X.com. That sounds like the place where hackers go to hang out. I think that's why they changed the name, because it seemed like shady. Yeah, people didn't see this being like,
Starting point is 00:21:09 when you saw it, www.x.com, it looks like you left out something in the middle of the web address. Or Wi-Fi is awesome here. Yeah, hackers keeping it on. They won't let you into that deeper. Who has all the other letters? Let's find out.
Starting point is 00:21:22 We got a few to go through. Let's start with A. There's all the other letters. Oh my God. No, I want to know now. I've looked it up before. It's like, it's the same thing. I was, you know, the old version of that used to be
Starting point is 00:21:33 who had single letter ticked single letter tickers. Stocks and on stocks for stocks. Yeah, stocks and. Do you know of anyone besides T? T and X on is X, I think. Is it really? It might be. So it's PayPal. God, I think? Is it really? It might be. So it's PayPal.
Starting point is 00:21:46 God, how much do you think it would cost by the whole alphabet? You know, I'm just like, I think single letter domain names are ridiculously expensive. W-W-W. They're like crazy expensive because it's the shortest thing you can have. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 I guess like a single letter.co now. Yeah. But yeah, for the longest time, like those were, now they were bought up super early and you couldn't get them And what was the there was a country that started they realized that their Country spelled a certain thing and so then they just started selling the country's domain names
Starting point is 00:22:13 Was it Tanzania they had TV or something like that? Uh, no, it's um I mean, there's been a few of them like that. Yeah, when those like dot me and stuff that they were selling I think like vanity was like a country that doesn't really have much But they sell like all of their domain names right and same thing with Libya like bit Lee bit dot L. Y. Dot L. Y's Libya Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I didn't know that just the Libyan registry. I wanted so much about the internet So it listen we've been around back and mind you think forever back in my day. You had to understand the internet I'm glad that I grew up in a time before That's a nice thing forever. Back in my day, you had to understand the internet.
Starting point is 00:22:48 I'm glad that I grew up in a time before the internet was everywhere, which I don't know if we've talked about. I'm sure we've talked about. It sounded like you did though. I didn't birthday by the way, Matt. Oh, thanks man. Yeah, it's your birthday. Oh, God. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:57 That was the most frightening way anybody's wishing me that today. Oh, God. Chris and I share a birthday. Like we shared a birthday at this company way before there was enough people here for Chris and I share a birthday. Like we shared a birthday at this company way before there was enough people here for two people to share a birthday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 You were already employee number 13 or something? Yeah. It was like, get rid of this kid. I was, but I was, I watched your mic, but. No, I had enough of the internet, or without the internet where I had to like, I remember having like a physical map when we would go on road trips and like. Yes, I had a very good map.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Did you print out directions from the internet? Oh, you have a map of Texas. Ran McNally. Maybe. I don't know. I had to like fold it back up and every trip. Yeah. Triple A map, which I was not good at.
Starting point is 00:23:38 But, no, I don't know. I, I, I, I, and before, I, like, I didn't get a cell phone until I was 16, which I know to you guys is like, oh, that's fucking young, young, young chip. Like, I know people that elementary school kids that have cell phones, that weirds me out. I don't know why. Teddy got a mobile phone at 12 when he was in middle school, he's going to middle school, he finally got a mobile phone.
Starting point is 00:23:57 And we felt like bad parents, because there were kids who had mobile phones at first grade, you know, and it's just like, to me, that was, I just, we just never did that. Jordan, his mom and I were just like, yeah, that's hold off. I tweeted about my smartphone a couple of weeks ago. I was just hanging out and I was having conversation
Starting point is 00:24:11 with a friend of mine in Australia and a friend of mine in Los Angeles and I went, fuck that's cool. Like that's incredible. I'm just casually flipping between these conversations. Yeah. And I tweeted about it, like this is unbelievable. You should always be so grateful that this thing exists
Starting point is 00:24:23 and everyone's like, are you high? I was like, fuck off, this is incredible. It's pretty cool. You just told me, I want to insult you, but I have to send this message to space and shit first, but it'll do it if I want to call you a fuckhead. That's cool. I mean, you can use it for better things than that, but I don't know. I think about how much trouble you'd have to go through when you were a kid, to find someone
Starting point is 00:24:42 that you admired and liked their work and find them and tell them you're fucking idiot. You're gonna take so much longer. You'd have to stalk them. You'd have to write a letter. Yeah. You don't know if they get it. You have to send a self-adjusted stamp envelope to find out what their supplies. I've attached an extra envelope in case you want to tell me to fuck off that.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I'd really appreciate it if you could sign it. That's actually kind of cool though. The idea of just like mailing people like, fuck you letters. I mail. What's cool about this? What old fashioned way? Like, or it's like,
Starting point is 00:25:10 you cut up letters in your magazine and then you like take it all together. They're like, how often do you get a, like an actual handwritten letter anymore? Like you don't. I, I said handwritten letters on a regular basis. I've never gotten one. I have stationery.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah, that I use through. I send them a letter and it says, fuck off, burn it all. God, I make Christmas. You got it. Fuck off, that I use to write. I send them a letter. It says, fuck off, Bernie. God, they make Chris fuck out of it. You got it. Fuck off, Chandler Berk. For your address very soon. The bestest win, like when a long time ago in America's
Starting point is 00:25:32 funny stone video, so they would, you know, you'd have to mail in a tape, like if you want the tape back, send a novel of $3.90, post $3.90 or whatever it was. Did they have some requirement to do that? Because it seems like, was there a legal requirement that they have to return the tapes? I think if people wanted it, like it might be their only copy,
Starting point is 00:25:49 if people might not have had the ability to copy a tape. That's a thing. Yeah, most people wouldn't. Most people wouldn't. Can you imagine how many fucking tapes they got? There was like fast forward to two hours and 37 minutes and 15 seconds. Who's jobless that?
Starting point is 00:26:01 Just to queue up the fucking VHS tape. Dude, I love you. I loved America's funniest home video. It was so great. and 15 seconds. Who's jobless at? Just to queue up the fucking VHS tape. Dude, I'm with you. I loved America's funniest home video. It was so great. That was like what my family would watch at dinner. I'm not much changed to entertainment tonight. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah, it way ahead of the curve. Yeah. They were way ahead of the curve. And it was all the best stuff. It was all super clean, but then occasionally they would show Bob Sagitt who would go somewhere and show the dirty ones. Yeah, that was right. But then they put funny sound effects on it, so it was okay.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah, I was like, I don't know. That guy, I don't know, I don't know. I was like, why did that little spring sound ease the pain? But yeah, and they have Bob Sagitt doing funny voices. I was like, Bob Sagitt. That's right. More than Tom Bergeron.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I loved Bob Sagitt. Tom Bergeron made me sad and I don't know why. Really? Yeah, I don't know, some about him. He just seemed tired. It's like when the blues clues guy changed. It was like, who's this in pause? Get us out of here. Steve.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Steve. I want you to do a Steve. Steve let's be in a band. Tom Bergeron's probably done way longer than Bob Sagitt ever did, right? Yeah, totally. Is the show still going? I think it is. No way. I think it really? It is.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Bob Sagitt was 89 and 97. Bergeron's done. 2001 to 2015. That's a long time. And now it's Alfonso Ribeiro. Now it's Wayne Grady. Who does? Alfonso Ribeiro. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:27:09 What's Wayne Brady up to these days? You know who Alfonso Ribeiro is? Carlton. Oh, yeah. You know on that with celebrities. Oh, that's right, I forgot. I just made a guess at Wayne Brady, by the way. Because I know he needs the work.
Starting point is 00:27:21 He does. I felt like he was on everything for a long time. Everything, everywhere. Everything. Like that whole like Drew Carrey dynasty, he was a work. He does. I felt like he was on everything for a long time. Everything, everywhere. Everything. Like that whole like Drew Carey dynasty, he was a big part of that. In a way. He was like Kevin James to like,
Starting point is 00:27:32 to Drew Carey's Adam Sandler basically. Like everywhere that Adam Sandler goes, Kevin James is now. But I never associate Wayne Brady with Drew Carey. You know, like who's line is it anyway? That's the only one I think of. I just didn't know why. I associate him. He wasn't on the Drew Carrey show is he
Starting point is 00:27:46 I think so I don't know if the guy ever watches show to be honest with you. I used to I remember Sometimes he was thank you broad he's in the posse. I just remember that awful woman. That's the only thing I remember I was there Mimi me. Yeah. Yeah, I think the Kate the girlfriend or whatever. She's hot like her Tell us more. She's hot. She's hot. The outdoor pool table. I remember that about the Drew Carey show. They had to be a coffee beer.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Buzz beer. Yes. Well, didn't they change the entire premise of the show like six seasons in or something? Yeah. What was the premise of that? I assume it was just some bullshit sitcom. At first they worked in a department store and they switched like a dot com or something or.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Right. It was like a different, like a totally different kind of business. That's weird. And then they had a, what's his name? They had the great late night talk show. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. The boss, he was the boss. What the hell is his name?
Starting point is 00:28:32 What's his name? Craig Ferguson. Craig Ferguson. Yeah, he was the boss. He was Mr. Whitt. Is that right? I don't know so much about the show. I never watched it.
Starting point is 00:28:40 He was an employee for Cleveland's Winford Lauder department store, which became an internet shopping site So yeah, they transitioned to like a calm as one does you guys stay with the times But I mean, I love Craig Craig Ferguson I was really sorry when he wasn't doing the late night stuff anymore I was hoping he was gonna get the letterman slot with letterman left really funny although Seemacle Bear apparently has really come on strong Now the Trump is present he completely. After he legitimized it. Yeah, well, no, that's pretty much Jimmy Fallon.
Starting point is 00:29:08 They both did. You think, Skull Bear did it? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. They normalized it. I think right around the same time, Trump went on to do an interview with Kull Bear and there was no heart hitting questions.
Starting point is 00:29:17 It was all softball, fluff, piece, bullshit. Yeah. Fucking hate that. Awful. Yeah, but do you think there's a difference between the candidate and the president? I mean, do you think you should treat those two people differently? No.
Starting point is 00:29:30 No? I mean, obviously, whatever a president has to say has much more weight to it, and you're gonna be, I think you'd be asking a different class of question, but if someone is in the running, you want to make sure that you give them real questions. Like, even back years ago, like, what was it? Who go, was it Boxer's Rebrief?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Someone got asked that, was it Bush? The first Bush? I think maybe Gore, yeah. Was it Clinton? Yeah, like Boxer's Rebrief. We cares about that shit. It's all like softball fluff bullshit. That's some real questions.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Yeah. But he plays saxophone, it's so cool. You could even put Donald's for a jogging. Yeah, he would jog to McDonald's. I remember that so well, but he would do that stuff. But I don't know, it seems to me that if you're interviewing a candidate, you have a greater ability to influence that, because people are making a decision about the person
Starting point is 00:30:12 with the president, you're just making a criticism on the party in power or the person in power. Seems a little different to me, I don't know why. Not that excuses, you know, Jimmy found ruffling Donald Trump's hair. That was just like, you know, even when I saw that, I thought, man, you're not going to want that image around. No, it's still around.
Starting point is 00:30:32 It is. It still is. Yeah. It's like that Beyonce photo that you tried to scrub from the internet. Oh, that's just the best picture though. It is the best picture. It's really great. Just to reset. Oh, and that shit. That's like the worst thing you can do is try to remove something from the internet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:44 The internet does not forget, if you put it on the internet, it's there forever. It's not there, you go. Oh, well that shit. That's like the worst thing you can do is try to remove something from the internet. The internet does not forget, if you put it on the internet, it's there forever. It's out there, you go. Oh, well, yeah. What does that call? There's a term for that. There's a term for that. When you try to suppress something
Starting point is 00:30:53 and it becomes bigger, I don't know. It is called the strisand effects. The effect. Oh, she tries to delete her house from the internet. She tries to sue people who were putting images of her house up or selling images of her house and that's more sensitive. Everyone would nuts send, like,
Starting point is 00:31:06 everyone then knew where Barbara Streisand's house was because everyone reported on it. Huh. So the Streisand effect is what that's called. It will be her legacy. You know, let me, let me read this thing right here. Why don't you read that thing right there? I want to remind you.

Starting point is 00:33:01 She's been putting a lot of great info on Twitter. She has, she put up all these single letter stock ticker symbols. And I'm putting a lot of great info on Twitter. She has she put up all these single letter stock ticker symbols. And I'm sure to read the ones you would know. Okay. See is City Group. It was formerly Chrysler. I don't know how Chrysler lost their their symbol. F is for what probably delisted Chrysler. They got they merged with Fiat or Fiat acquired them and so they just lose it at that point in time. Right. Well, first he merged with Daimler Benz and then was Fiat. So yeah, I assumed they're gone. And, uh, but that's kind of thing you think they would keep. Like when nations bank merged with Bank of America, Bank of America was
Starting point is 00:33:34 much smaller than nations bank, but the name was way better. So nations bank became Bank of America. It's just another asset like anything else. I'm assuming it's stock ticker symbol. They might not be traded on the American market anymore though. Oh yeah. Cause those are foreign corporations. Fair play. Okay. Wait, what the fuck have an a singular wireless? Who got them? Baby came. They can be gained buzz Southwest from Bell.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Oh right. Singular eventually became 18. Yeah. It was Southwestern Bell then 18. Okay. All right. All that stuff is going back together. Port one. K is Kellogg. A bunch of them are not anything anymore. Like G used to be Gillette, but now it's nothing. Explain that one, Gus. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Quest communications is cute. That's pretty impressive. That seems like a relative to a new company. T, of course, is AT&T. V is VISA. And then the other ones are one I wouldn't know. Oh, S is Sprint. Yeah, I think I said X was X on,
Starting point is 00:34:22 but it's actually like American Steelers. Yeah, it's United States Steel. Mm-hmm. Bad asses, they got X. Where'd you go? Where'd you work? Oh, we're at United States Steel. That's like just something bad at steel.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It's a pretty cool, that works there. What'd you do? I'm security. Oh, I shut down a lot of factories these days. That's what I do. Chris, I need to ask you, where the? Right now I'm learning Chinese. That's what I'm doing. Where did you get your you where the- Right now I'm learning Chinese. That's what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Where did you get your beautiful shirt? Oh, the sloth. The sloth. I love sloths. I think this was a gift from Aaron. It's a bee. Oh, that's Aaron giving you gifts. It was like a birthday gift or something.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Oh yeah? It was like, is there anniversary? Yeah, that's a cool shirt. I like that. For those of you who can't see it on the audio podcast, Chris is wearing a Hindenburg disaster shirt and there's a sloth hanging on the blimp. I want you to imagine how many years it's going to take,
Starting point is 00:35:13 how many years do you think it will take for someone to make a world trade center with a giant sloth on it? I know, right? That's just like, I mean, I know that's already out there, but until it's okay for people to wear on a live podcast. It really is true. Tragedy over time is comedy. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yeah, I mean, I really never thought about that that a lot of people died. Yeah. You never thought about that? Yeah. Well, the word disaster, I thought was a pretty big clue, but oh, the human being. Animal thing. Yeah. Hey, no, you're a sloss cute, though. Oh, the human being. Annel thing. Hey, no, you're a sloss cute though.
Starting point is 00:35:46 No, that's cool. I like kid animals. I'm really considering getting a pig. Really? Wait, wait, wait, for like owning? And you'd be its little pig master? I didn't. I wouldn't phrase it like that, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I don't know. It's not a master. It's not, I don't know. The phrase master seems sexual in some way. Oh, what? No. You tell me the master sword's like a weird sexy object? No, I think it's more like this.
Starting point is 00:36:12 It's goddamn right now. Yeah. But no, no, no. There's just, there's an Instagram account called my best friend Hank. It's this miniature pig. And I was like messaging with them. You were talking to a pig on the internet? Well, it was the owner.
Starting point is 00:36:28 The pig mask. Well, yeah, because it's, and it's not from the perspective of the pig. It's like, this is my best friend Hank, the pig. Okay. And he was telling me like, give me the info for his breeder and all this. It's really, I think I need a pig. Okay. Dude, I wish I had not looked at this Instagram account.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Do you want a pig now? I want a pig. Can't walk off with that. Like no. Just look at that. Now you want a pig. No, I mean no, I want to like, no, no, no, no, no. I would be like that pig's uncle.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I don't want to fucking take care of it all. Look at those fuckers. I'm going to hand it back to Chris. I would even be like, on E-Strees got earbunny, or bunny ears on. Look at that. God, no. It's really cute.
Starting point is 00:37:03 You are a seven year old girl right now, Burmese. No. I mean, I just started my Instagram account, but it bugs me that's got more Twitter followers than me. Or it's my followers than me. This fucking pig. That bothers me. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:15 You know, there was a period in time in my house when our cat had more Twitter followers than Ashley. And it was this unspoken thing for a while until she passed Joe the cat in Twitter followers. All right now She destroys it. I want to pig and with you Chris. I'm with you. I'm Too much Bernie could own a pig Bernie's got that. Okay, that's fucking cute Bernie could own a pig He's a mature responsible. That's good one. And he's got like like a like a Dive of yard and stuff. What do you have? Don't you an an apartment still? Yeah, so I'm like down the third floor.
Starting point is 00:37:47 So I don't know where, I don't know if picks can climb stairs, miniature picks can they climb stairs? Well, that's the big master. Adorably. It's the thing that you ever wanted. For the fan. And I was like, man, I have like a, maybe I'd like have an extra bedroom
Starting point is 00:38:00 with the pig fence style thing, I don't know. I don't think you make a style in your apartment. I don't think you're the way that we're doing. You can do the brand of thing and put it on your balcony. And you can import mud from California, whatever the fuck you are. What's the brand of thing? What a brand of thing?
Starting point is 00:38:15 It's like buying grass from California to put on his balcony so his dogs can go to the bathroom. What? I'm not gonna do all that. But, you know, I don't, I all that, but you know what? I don't, I don't Chris, Christopher. I don't wanna discourage you from owning a pig. If that's a dream, don't but let it go.
Starting point is 00:38:33 But, are you gonna be a responsible pig dad? Of course, of course, pig master. No, I'm training to keep it with the times. Can you be a pig dad though? Is my question, yeah, man of course, man. That's why I'm hesitant because I'm like, but you be a big dad though? Is my question, yeah, man, of course, man, that's why I'm hesitant because I'm like, well, it's a big responsibility. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:49 How are you drinking if you guys have that? Not enough, we're getting there though. He's got a heartful conversation about raising this pig. Look, I don't know shit about stocks, but I know if someone could be a good pig dad, I think you could, I just, you just gotta be ready. You know if someone could be a good pig dad? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:03 So you can absolutely, I really would. He's wearing a sloth shirt, he's got the heart for it like I really do smile He knows how to love my only worry. It's like I they're very social creatures and I worry I have my have to get two pigs or like a dog to go what can socialize is it a heard of pigs when you have a bunch of pigs? What's that called? Uh, Shriff Bagdon. That's called a grand slam. I don't know what a group of pigs call. A group of young pigs is called a drift, drove, or litter. Litter makes sense. Groups of older pigs are called a sander of swine.
Starting point is 00:39:42 A team or parcel of hogs or a singular of boars. Sounder of Swine sounds like something you would say to some sort of like pig-based superhero. The Sounder of Swine. It's like that. It's like an old insult from the 40s. You'd load down 30. Sounder of Swine.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Mugs Bunny would mutter that at someone, and it would be hilarious. Yeah. I mean, what point in history was it really important to know what the different groups of animals are called? Also, on age is the weird thing. That's what is that a thing with a lot of animals? I don't know if they age out of their plural forms.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Age out of a plural form, I mean. Well, it's like you're, because there's a young pigs or one word and then the older ones are sounders. Oh, I got you when they change their groups. Yeah. Sounder of swine. It's the Seattle soccer team, right? The Seattle Sounders, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah, it is. Let's move from the sounders. Again, according to Motel Cowboy, pigs do not climb or jump in the wild. So they aren't meant to climb stairs. It's very easy to teach a mini-pig to use a ramp when they're young. However, treats adult pigs can learn to use a ramp without much trouble as well. I don't have a ramp, I get an elevator.
Starting point is 00:40:52 You give me a treat, I'll learn, I'll use that. I'll use that. Pigs are smart, it's my last, my last read my last message. You're DMing him? Are there any DMs with my best friend Hank? Sorry, a couple other questions. You DMing him? Yeah. DMs with my best friend Hank. Sorry. Couple other questions.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Is he messy? Require a lot of clean up with poop and food. Poo-p and food. Also, does he cuddle, sleeping in your bed or have his own bed? Please, Miles. Miles, tell me what time. That was set. Ten in the morning.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Ten in the morning. What's wrong with you? You woke up and you're like, I got a no. Did you do your aim of him? You were feeling 10 in the morning. I want to know. You woke up and you're like, I got a no. Did you dream of him? You were feeling lonely in your bed. You're like, I was just a picture couple. Where's the guy at work at that?
Starting point is 00:41:32 Exactly what I was like. I was already at work at that. I use imagine Chrissy wakes up. It's like 845. He's like laying in bed. He's like, I'm gonna mess you up. I'm gonna wake. I don't want to see me eating. Yeah, no, it's so cute.
Starting point is 00:41:46 He's the first one you think of when you wake up. You won't see how Hank is eating him. Tending him, you're messing this big. He can't see him. That can't provide that much. It's wrong. What's most of the weekend? What day was that, the you met?
Starting point is 00:42:02 That was the day. That was the day. Well, I had a conversation with him to weekend, what day was that, the you met with Jay? That was the day. That was the day. Well, I never had a conversation with him this weekend, and that was my like, while I was like, follow, question. Chris Manage is a lot of projects. I'm sure someone was like, Chris got a question like, hold on. Yeah.

I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna win like I'm not think I could kill a bear or grizzly bear but I could fight a grizzly bear and I'd survive. Fuck it. The one the one that gets close to the edge of for me is a silverbacker. Like that's where you draw the line. That fight is over in about 0.25. Yeah there's not much there's not much that I could do to a silverbacker.
Starting point is 00:45:00 You can get it. Yes, I'm like Chris. It's gonna rip your face off. I go like this before you can get to that. That's like'm like Chris, you've got my logic. It's gonna rip your face off. Like I like this before you can get to that. That's like being in a fight and being like, when that guy goes to punch me though, I'm gonna duck, he'll never see it coming. You're not, no, it's gonna fuck you shit dude. You wake up in the hospital? No, you don't wake up from that ever.
Starting point is 00:45:17 You never wake up. The silverback really, you don't wake up. Sometimes people get their faces ripped off. Yes, or their genitals ripped off? No. Oh yeah. That's what they do. That happened to a dude who was like,
Starting point is 00:45:27 went to go visit a friend who had like a private zoo and he had a clutch of baboons. Is that what that's called? Can we wrap that up, Gus, please? What's a group of baboons called? A group of baboons. And I think they were baboons. I think they were baboons and they ripped his face off
Starting point is 00:45:43 and tore off his genitals. Can you? The two most important things. It was an act his face off and tore off his genitals. Can you? The two most important things. It was an act of Congress that removed that man's genitals. What happened? Well, I was walking on a path and Congress showed up and tore my back off. His face and his dick. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:45:59 I think so, yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah, I would like, at that point you got nothing like this. I'm ugly. I mean, it still be like hung like a horse. At least you got that going for you. Do they reattach? I don't know what tell you That's why I'm getting a pig it was a tragedy Pig will never do that to yeah, did you ever go to acarina springs before it closed? No wait it close
Starting point is 00:46:19 Then it closed oh the circus clothes. Yeah, they will be open But they used to have a swimming pig. Yeah. And you could go over. No. What was it called? No, it was a Ralph swimming pig. They have to, it was always a young pig because older pigs can't swim because they get so fat that their hooves start cutting themselves when they try to paddle.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Oh, that makes me sad. No, it's fine. Don't make it swim. Yeah, but that means that one had to find out. No. One had to find out. You know, there's a documentary about Ralph the Swimming Pig. Get the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:46:52 This is the kind of shit people would show up and give money to get tickets to go see this. This is before the internet. I mean, yeah, man. It was the America's funniest home videos of live entertainment. People were so fucking bored, dude, without the internet.
Starting point is 00:47:04 They were so bored. There's, you know how much time there is in a day? There's so much time. You just want that shit to do with no internet. Now it's like every five seconds, you're like, oh, Twitter, there's not enough time. Go in that little loop between Twitter and Facebook and Snapchat.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Oh, it's horrifying. You just keep going back. You keep going back and go back. I didn't have that. I got to go scuba diving in that area. Oh, really? Yeah, I got scuba diving. I'm sure there was scuba diving in the San Marcos.
Starting point is 00:47:30 So, so, Ocarina Springs, it got closed down because they, well, this could be one of the reasons it got closed down because it's a circle. It's a circle. The, the, the, the circus got closed down. They, they discovered a bunch of endangered species that were, there's this endangered, no, here we go.
Starting point is 00:47:43 There's this endangered species of salamander that lives down underground that the spring would shoot up into like the Ocarina Springs general area and they were like, oh fuck, we can't kill these things, they're blind and could die easily. So I also don't know, maybe when the internet showed up, people just weren't in the Ralph anymore, but no, the circus shut down, but they keep that area roped off and open for divers. And that was where, when I shut down, but they keep that area roped off and open for divers. And that was where when I got certified, I got to do a dive.
Starting point is 00:48:08 It's freaky, man, because it's like, I know it's all fake, but there's like a giant clam and a sunken ship. And I don't know, man, it upped me out. It was really cool, though. So I didn't know you were certified in scuba diving. I want to get recertified, because I don't remember shit other than don't go up too fast for your head, it'll explode.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Yeah, we know somebody, I don't know if I should say, it's a medical thing, but we know somebody who got the bends. And that's, she came up too quickly. Actually, she was brought, if I'm telling somebody else a story, but she was brought up too quickly. She was part of a rescue exercise. And the bends is when the pressure gets really too quickly and I think believe nitrogen bubbles up in your bloodstream It's and it hurts like hell
Starting point is 00:48:51 It's when nitrogen it gets like pressure. I the pressure allows it to be able to get up into your brain Yes, and then as you start to ascend if you ascend too quickly, it's going to essentially Take up more space, I guess and not be able if you go up slowly It'll slowly start to go back down and then fill back out to its normal capacity, God, I'm using words poorly. But yeah, if you go up too quickly, it's just gonna expand in your brain
Starting point is 00:49:12 and it can really fuck you up. I think they discovered it while building some sort of underwater tunnel or something somewhere. And people, divers were coming up from, they're not divers, but workers were coming up for their lunch break and just not being great. Yeah. I wonder if there's a connection here.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Pressure is the way we've talked about it. We've talked about pressure, actually. Delta P accidents, yeah. I think what you're talking about is actually really interesting. Like, I heard about this also. I think I saw something about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. And I used to always wonder, like, you look at an old bridge like that. Like, how did they connect the structure of the bridge to the riverbed?
Starting point is 00:49:45 I always wanted that. And what they would do is they'd put down like a giant bell or a big structure, get all the, and then shoot compressed air into it to make it really high pressure. So that all the water gets jettisoned out, then the workers would go down and work in there. Really? And then that's, I think that's what you're talking about. It was really high pressure in there at the bottom because of all the air being pumped
Starting point is 00:50:04 in. That's the everything. That when they'd have to be, they'd have to slowly leave otherwise they would get the bins coming out of there. I'm sure we got a lot of that stuff wrong. So just let us know politely in the comments. Has to act. Archie podcast for all the first members out there
Starting point is 00:50:16 watching live. Yup. Wink. Speaking of training exercises gone wrong. Fuckin' one of the second. Did you see that headline about that Florida police officer who shot a woman by accident? I did see that. I did see that. Yeah, they were doing some house gun safety exercise and he shot her with a gun. He killed her. And they said, no,
Starting point is 00:50:39 she died. She died. Oh my god. He didn't have blanks loaded in the gun. He had live ammunition. It's like, what safety course are you taking a real gun and have blanks loaded in the gun. He had live ammunition. It's like what safety course Are you taking a real gun and firing blanks? It's not supposed to fire blanks at a person anyway? I'll fuck you up right here. Yeah, there's like so many things I don't know wrong to get to that point and I can't get to the bottom of these articles is what's the fucking Best case scenario here that a cop is firing blanks at people. That's not supposed to happen ever He brought his personal weapon in for that exercise and that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:51:07 And we were, like even when you're on set with a fake prop gun, there's like security and protocols for that. Yes. You show that it's a prop, you're like, look, it is empty, it is a prop, it is a toy. This is it, this is the gun we are using. Even if it's like rubber, right?
Starting point is 00:51:21 We did, when we did the live action red versus blue thing on the set of Ford onto Dawn. We were super excited because they had like rubber. Right, we did, when we did the live action red versus blue thing on the set of Ford onto Dawn. When we were super excited, because they had the Halo pistol, the Halo sword rifle, that prop master was like, pretend this is a fucking gun, no, you don't get to touch it. Yeah, absolutely not. I mean, for good reason, gunscared the shit out of me.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I don't like, I don't know. I've gone, I like went hunting with my dad, I've been to shooting ranges. I don't want that kind of responsibility in my hands. At all. I don't know that's I've gone I like went hunting with my dad. I've been to shooting ranges I don't want that kind of responsibility and my hands at all. I don't like guns. Oh, I like swords and like yeah And people like I always do that to see when I have a scene with somebody and I have a rubber gun and they hand it to me I always walk up to the person I'm gonna be pointing at and say here. Do you want to look at it? That's really cool. They look at over and everything. Yeah, that's not, that's not. I mean, that's what accidents, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:08 And it seems like every so often there's somebody who doesn't realize that a blank is a very dangerous thing too. And always somebody who like puts his head and goes, hey, check this out, bang. And then, that was a TV show. Airwolf was, what was the show with the lead actor on it, shot himself in the head. Oh, right. No, I don't think it was Airwolf. No, it wasn't Airwolf. Patrick, the show with the lead actor on it, shot himself in the head? Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:52:25 No, I don't think it was Airwolf. No, it wasn't Airwolf. Patrick, is Patrick good as you remember? I know what you're talking about. Yeah. They had a, uh, uh, uh, I don't remember either.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Patrick doesn't remember, but it's lead actor shoots. I mean, that's how, uh, Brandon Lee died, right? The, um, Brandon Lee died, no, I think he was shot with a blank at close range. You know, what happened was, I think there was a, I think he was shot with a blank at close range. You know, what happened was I think there was a bullet. I see the guy from the, uh, the crew. Yeah. He shot himself in the CBS television series cover up. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:52:53 So on, on, there was like a blank and a bullet or something and they get like, it shot the shrapnel out or something. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Oh, so, so, oh, the brain leasing. As I understand it, they had guns that would fire blanks. And there was a misfire, or they used a live ammunition on it earlier in the day, and there was a misfire, and the bullet lodged in the barrel.
Starting point is 00:53:16 So the next time a blank came in, it was loaded properly, but it had this bullet in the, or some kind of debris in the barrel of the gun from a misfire previous, when the next thing fired that out and that's what hit him. That's some fucking hit man blood money shit. Yeah dude, that's a, you know, that's unbelievable unfortunate. Do you have like a weapon at your house? I do.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I have the master swords. Yeah. I have weapons. Gus is probably like, yeah, Gus is loaded. For everybody listening, I have active landmines around have weapons. Gus is probably like. Absolutely. Yeah, Gus is loaded. For everybody listening, I have active landmines around my perimeter at all times. No, no, seriously.
Starting point is 00:53:51 It's, you know, it's, it's, in Texas, it just seems normal to have a weapon. I feel, well, now I feel like I sh, I don't have a, I don't like you. I know you're comfortable with it. Yeah, and you've gone through appropriate, from all the others. Of course, I've got swords and a baseball bat. That course. Of course. I got swords and baseball.
Starting point is 00:54:05 That's what I got. I got like a sword. I've got a sword and a baseball bat. I knew the sword I got because I just thought it was cool. I knew the one who would carry around a baseball bat in his trunk, but he said that if he carried just the bat, he thought if the police ever pulled him over, that it would look suspicious,
Starting point is 00:54:22 like he was carrying just a weapon around. Yeah, did he carry a glove in a ball. He carried like a bag full of baseball equipment. With a bag. He got a little league kid stuff in the trunk. The bag is always like readily available in his trunk and all the other shit was in there too. That way it just looked like. Yeah. He was going to go play baseball or softball or whatever. I got creeped out the other night. So I like put my sword by my bed. Don't buy a gun. No way. Don sword by my bed. Don't buy a gun.
Starting point is 00:54:45 No, wait, don't buy a gun. Don't buy a gun. What creeped you out to the point where you felt like you needed to arm yourself with medieval weathering? I just, I just, you know. Guys, can I ask you a question? Do you ever, do you ever do drills where you see how fast you can get to your gun?
Starting point is 00:54:57 No. You never do that. No. It seems like something you would do. I would not do that. Do you do that? I'm not gonna handle it unnecessarily. I don't do that. I don't do that.
Starting point is 00:55:04 No. I think the do that. I don't do that. I don't do that. I think the last time I handled the gun was showed it to the kids and talked to him about it, talked about gun safety and then racked it and they scared the shit out of him. Just that noise of it racking. It's scary! Scared the shit out of him.
Starting point is 00:55:20 So. My father was in law enforcement, so he started like getting me acclimated to fire. I'm so really young. Right. I think I fired my first gun with his help obviously when I was five And I was given my first gun as a present on my ninth birthday Wow But you always demystified guns for me. It was always get to that available and he said if you ever want to see him Or you want to look at them or touch them let me know right if I could always do it with him
Starting point is 00:55:42 And so it was and he would take me out regularly that regularly to shoot and train me and teach me about the proper way to use firearms so that it was never like a mysterious thing I would do behind his back or try to do it in an unsafe way. Yep. Because if kids are curious, they'll go look for it. And that's when trouble happens. Or when you try to defend your home with a sword. I think so.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Well, to be fair, it's, it's, even the Robert's a replica of Steve. It's like, how was your day? How did he say, I shot a dude with a sword today. There's always like this hypothetical discussion on Reddit that drives me crazy. It's always like, people who sleep naked, what's your plan if someone breaks into your house?
Starting point is 00:56:22 It's like, I don't get all, fuck. If I'm naked or I'm wearing clothes as someone breaks into my house, it makes zero difference to me. You're better off naked, you freak people out. Yeah, yeah. So you got the advantage now. Right, it's not like wearing fucking underwear
Starting point is 00:56:33 is gonna protect my balls more or anything, you know. Yeah. It's just a weird line of reason. It's really, even if you're on arm, they'll see you're packing. Yeah, yeah. Well, me, they come in my bedroom. I'm sleeping with a shotgun and a silverback gorilla.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I'm like, they're fucked in the ladder. Oh, I just got to turn around and walk out. You never said what animal would you on? Oh, I don't know. I'm torn. I'm torn. I would say silverback, but he said it. That's such a good one.
Starting point is 00:56:57 No, don't eat on to me like that. I like that. The other one, I would pick would be probably like some kind of bird of prey, like a hawk. Then you could tell it like, go get me something, I don't know, go get me something from the store, like it'll wait and then like dive in, get like cornuts and then fucking fly.
Starting point is 00:57:10 No, or it brings you a chihuahua. I don't know, that's, that's, no, I said take cornuts. Take cornuts. Can you hear that? You take the good with the bad. Like I like birds of prey. I think they're really cool.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Like hawks, eagles, owls. Owls are cool. Owls are awesome. Owls are pretty cool. So yeah, I would, although they're weird and weird, I would owls. Owls are cool. Owls are awesome. Owls are pretty cool. So yeah, I would have seen the Owl looks like with no feathers. Yeah. It's a weird and curvy.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Have you seen like the Owl skeleton? No, I was just saying, have you seen a bear without fur? Fucking horrifying. Oh, there's a bear that had alopecia or something in the fur? It's really weird. It looks like a giant doll.
Starting point is 00:57:42 It looks like a fallout three radioactive creature. There you go. You know what I call those, young you go, you go, you go, I think so. I almost said, yowee, that's not the main. Totally different. So you like the automaton DLC for fallout for? A automaton. Will you build all the robots and shit? Yeah, I like that one a lot.
Starting point is 00:57:58 See, I just, I'm playing Far Harbor, which by the way, sometimes I like the DLC's like enormous and expansive. And then sometimes I'm like, Harbor, which by the way, sometimes I like that DLC is like enormous and expansive, and then sometimes I'm like, this is too big. Far Harbor's pretty big. Far Harbor's freaking huge. I'm like, enough with this quest chain. I'm done. I don't give a shit about this Android anymore.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Did you finish Zero Dawn? I saw your tweet about Zero Dawn. Everybody was going, ape shit, over Link, that is Zelda game. Yeah. Horizon zero dawn is incredible. I think I might like zero dawn more than breath of the wild. I gotta play that. I enjoyed the hell out. I'm just saying nobody I feel like nobody I knew play because everyone's playing Zelda. They're like whatever they like. The one problem I have with it compared to Zelda. Oh, I got you. It's nice. I did I did not like going from Zelda where you can climb on anything
Starting point is 00:58:47 and just get traversed the map. In Zero Dawn, sometimes you'll encounter obstacles that are like this high and you can't jump over it. Like, come on, I should be able to climb over it. Yeah, sure, sure. So that's my only real complaint. I think the gameplay's amazing. I think the story is really well done.
Starting point is 00:59:00 I had like this super deep moment in the story. Like, damn, story. Like, listening like listening, like I normally kind of half read, half listen when there's collectibles like that. I listened to everything, I read everything, and it was like a really emotional moment, like listening to like these stories
Starting point is 00:59:14 and these journals and it was like, man, this is really fucking heavy. What's going on right here? Yeah, you can go super deep in that game with the story. It's kind of like, when memory destiny came out and people said, had no story, and it was just the way you access the story was. A little more grim work. A little more difficult. So it went super deep, but you just had to go find it. This is, this has the best of both worlds. You have a really great, I think, campaign
Starting point is 00:59:36 story. But then the world building stuff is presented with journals and things like that in audio laws. I felt that way about the original BioShock. I thought the original BioShock had the perfect balance of story that you need to know being presented to you and additional world building stuff that you are able to find and collect through the audio logs. I fucking was, oh, I guess I will say that about Breath of Wild is it's because it's a Zelda game.
Starting point is 00:59:58 The story kind of like, I know what the story is. Right, still though. The kind of, you're not gonna get the sort of stuff that I'm assuming you're talking about where you can find out about individual people and exactly what happened. Yeah, because, I mean, obviously it's not a spoiler, but the game is set like in the future of Earth,
Starting point is 01:00:14 you don't know what happened to like civilization, but you're following like certain people. So you're like, oh, you know, like that's that person's log or oh, it's that person's story, and you kind of get attached to them. And in the end, you know, like that was way in's log or oh, it's that person's story and you kind of get attached to them and in the end You know like that was way in the past. They're all obviously long dead, right? So you can just like following them, you know, figuring out what happened to them right making out
Starting point is 01:00:32 They have a good ending right like when from the time they realize that everything's kind of going wrong to the time where like That's it. I gotta play this game. It's I mean, honestly, I don't know about you guys But there were times when I was playing the game and I thought, this seems like a really good halo game, you know, I mean, it just took the way it's presented and everything. It was just, man, I really enjoyed it. I can see it like it's always being like
Starting point is 01:00:54 four-runner structures, we go, right? And then you're investigating this long-dead technology and all that, you know, but it just went even deeper with it. Now, we have a connection to the people that are the four-runners and that. It makes more sense to us. And it's a really cool connection. And it's also weird, because when you're accessing
Starting point is 01:01:10 old technology, it'll use computer or technological terms, but there are more primitive tribes. They don't understand everything. They're like, a computer might say corrupted registry, repair, and the tribesperson is like, OK, I need to fix a corruption somewhere. There's like an evil that I need to fix. So it's like, you know, going out and like,
Starting point is 01:01:29 kind of misconstruing words and you're reading more into stuff than really is there. It's interesting. But I would highly recommend it. I had to knock it out of the pocket. First game, including last of us, which I love, it's the first PS4 game, or PlayStation game that I've ever gotten to platinum in.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Mm, was a horizon. Yeah, I still am. I'm gonna platinum this one. I'm absolutely, even once, I'm on the last mission now, once I'm done with this, I'm gonna go back. I love the way that they have handled collectibles in recent games.
Starting point is 01:01:56 It used to be way more difficult to do collectibles, like crackdown. I look back at that. No way anybody would get 500 orbs in crackdown. They're just not gonna do it. No way. 300 green orbs and 200 hidden orbs or whatever the fuck that was. But thank God because otherwise we would have Michael Jones.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I know, right? I know I was. We would never age quit. Fuck, that's a weird thing to think about. If they just didn't handle, oh, that sets you down this whole weird domino. It does. Gavin does some time.
Starting point is 01:02:23 You can't do that. Gavin, like, tries. It's, so this is what blows my mind. It's. You can't go time. You can't do that. Gavin, like, tries. So this is what blows my mind. It's like, okay, if Michael never made the crackdown video, he would have never come to work at Rushi. We wouldn't have a lot of things, probably, that we have today. But what makes me wonder is, like, who don't we have?
Starting point is 01:02:36 Who did we miss? Oh, right. That would have come here, or we would have met and would have been in our lives. That, you know, hey, thanks to crackdown shitty collectibles, a new human life is about to be brought into this world. That's fucking weird. It's weird to think about that. Oh, that's some, this is heavy shit.
Starting point is 01:02:53 I love to be a wingman, so it's always like, I think about that when people get married, that I know that I introduce them, and then they have a kid, it's like, yeah. That kid owes me like 10% of their lifetime income. Isn't that in, like, wasn was that on the website at some point? Like, if community members have, if community members have children,
Starting point is 01:03:10 they we get 10% of the kids income lifetime. You agree to it and it's in the fucking fine print. Yeah, I agree. And I don't have that service. That might be one of the things that full screen legal pull out. And what they did said. We're not.
Starting point is 01:03:22 But it's weird, because we ran into that all the time, like the conventions where people met. That was really weird at the first few times that we encountered that. We were like, oh, we met, we're dating, then you see him like the next year, a common connoiter, oh, we're married, here's our kid.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Here's our kid. What? I feel like I'm just now at the place in my life where the idea of making a person is hitting me. Oh, please don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not saying I don't want to have, I'm not. Get a pig.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Yeah, yeah. But like, I don't know. It's like a weird thing. I was just looking at like Lindsey posting like progress. Chris, who is the lucky lady? Who would be knocking up? Do you know her? Do you know her? My best friend Hank, everything.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's how you become the big master. Oh God. Oh God. It's just a weird thing. It's like a, I don't know, like a parasite that's growing. And it's, it's creepy. No, please care for the site. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:04:22 It is. That's what it is. It is. It is. And it's like is. It is. It is. And it's like a little thing that gets planted inside of you and it grows and takes up your, yeah. It's like aliens. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And then it bursts out of you. Like aliens. Yeah. Except for it doesn't come out the stomach, it comes out like, it's just as gross. You wouldn't even say it. You wouldn't even say it. You can come out of the game.
Starting point is 01:04:44 You can't live your whole life and you can't say the words. But giant it. You can't go about it. Congrats, dude. You can get a pig now, Chris. That was the test. You know, you don't go into the stomach to make you do it. Just say you got it.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Just in case that comes up later. Not for like a try. So you want to have a kid now? No, no, no. But you think it about it. No, no, no, no, no. It's only on the radar somewhere. You make it the channel a kid now? No, no, no. But you're thinking about it. No, no, no, no. It's only on the radar somewhere. You make it the channel.
Starting point is 01:05:08 How old do you? No. May I ask? I'm 30. So you're 30? You're 30? It seems like a time to think about it. That's weird.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Miles turned 27 today, Gus. Wow. You're so old now. I think that was the age you were when we started a research. I was 25. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. I was here during the baby of the group.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Yeah. How old can I ask? I'm 39. You just of here. Yeah. I'm sure you're doing it. You're the baby of the group. Yeah. How old are you now? I'm 39. You just turned 39. Yeah. I'm gonna be a 40. It's gonna be a fucking nightmare. What? We turned 40 next year.
Starting point is 01:05:32 It's gonna be a nightmare. Why? I don't know. The first old Gavin will do what he did to me. He was called me on the phone and he said, I can't be friends with you anymore. You actually made that phone call on my birthday. I said, I can't be friends with a 40-year-old person.
Starting point is 01:05:43 I just can't do that. It's all the same. It's all numbers. It's all the same. It's all relative. Yeah. And it's also how you act. You don't act like a 30 year old. And I mean that is a good thing.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. Yeah, you were in a shirt with a. A dozen people died in the past. And a sloth hugging it. It was 36 people by the way. I looked it up. That's not that bad. I mean, it's big scheme of things. Like, it was 35 on the Zeppelin and one on the guy.
Starting point is 01:06:11 One guy going, fuck, that looks rad. And then you got your ass. What's a hydrogen? Yeah. Good lord. How do they think that was not gonna go wrong? What ignited it? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:21 I mean, it's anything. Like a, when it's a big bomb. Anything. Static. You might have been static or something. I bet it was static. Somebody dropped the cell phone. That's why you got to turn off your cell phone airplane

I gotta say, this is not extra bonus ad thing, but I started doing blue apron.
Starting point is 01:07:38 I fucking love it. Awesome. I used to cook all the time. I only know how to cook horribly unhealthy things though. Delicious. Bad for you. So the thing I love most about it is that I'm trying things that I never would have tried, or like, oh, cod and potatoes do.
Starting point is 01:07:52 That sounds shitty, but I guess I'm eating it this week. It's my new favorite thing. It's awesome. I discovered one of my favorite ingredients because of Blue Apron. Is it hoisin sauce? No, I hope so. It was a salariac, salari root.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I did something once where they sent me some salariac. Like what the fuck is this? You like, that's like, dice it up into like little matchsticks and like pickle it. I was like, this shit's delicious. Anytime I see it, anytime I see it, now I always buy it. I always eat any dish I see on the menu with the got salari root.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I feel like it is. I don't sell on show until I was like 25. And I fucking love salari. I love salari. I'm mad. But there are people who hate salari. Is it just me right now watching the podcast or like I hate everyone on that podcast. I love chenic. I'm mad. But there are people who hate salons. There's people right now who watch the podcast who are like, I hate everyone on that podcast.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Saloncha's the worst. That's what I, is it the urban. Or a genetic thing, or it's like 10% or 20% of the population. It tastes like so or something. Yeah, it's weird. I don't know. Yeah, stupid. One of the reasons I bring this up is because, Chris,
Starting point is 01:08:41 you've been doing some cooking lately. I cooked sometimes. Yeah, what, you, you snap-chatted about something that you cooked. I cooked egg and bean. Oh, God, I saw that. I remember, I saw the initial tweet, or picture of just like, egg and bean on it.
Starting point is 01:08:59 I was like, oh, that actually, I know it looks sad, but I'm sure it tastes good. But then I saw the end result. And it just looked like shit. So I was like, I'm gonna make an omelet type thing. So I cracked the eggs and I was like, kind of stirring it around. I'm like, oh, I should put beans in it.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Of course. So I just like, you really go willy-nilly with this thing. Huh, you wait for the 30 seconds to be counting down for you to start deciding what ingredients you're gonna put in your whole whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, open making anelette miles. Bean is the classic.
Starting point is 01:09:27 I hope you're like an omelette. I open a cannon bean to boss. The cannon is. Yeah, no, I keep going. Open a cannon bean and I like drained. I didn't drain it enough. That was part of my problem. Yeah, that was it. You drained it a bit.
Starting point is 01:09:42 And then I drained bean. It would have been great. So here's the deal. As my issue was, it was like, okay, I'm gonna make And then I drained bean. It would have been great. So here's the deal. My issue was, I was like, okay, I'm gonna make, what do you call those things when you put hash, like potatoes? How you just said it? Hash brown.
Starting point is 01:09:54 It's like a, they have a 24 diner, where it's like potato and it's just medley. Oh, okay, hash, yeah. It's medley. No, guys, it's medley. I didn't have potato, so I'm gonna do bean. And I jumped the bean in. Potato free hash. And then there was a bunch of juice in the beans
Starting point is 01:10:06 And so I just started mixing With this with the egg yeah, that's not the best one That's how started and I was like oh, yeah, that's a fine picture. Yeah, yeah, and then I just kept stirring it It became just like it turned gray But then the egg disappeared for a while and then it What do you mean the egg disappeared? I can't disappeared for a while and then it reappeared. What do you mean the egg disappeared? I think it emerged with the juice. Here's the new thing we should do, guys.
Starting point is 01:10:27 We should go to a restaurant and try to order food that Chris makes at home. I will have the binomlet and the fish with red. What I said after that was, you know, Esther and I do those live streams where we eat food on the receipts Facebook pages. How'd you get that job, by the way? I just said, why did you do it?
Starting point is 01:10:43 I want that job. We started doing it. After we saw that, I showed it to Esther. I said, Chris, we got to do an episode when you make all of the food for us, but you've got to eat the food with us. I want to make you eat. I need it. I need it.
Starting point is 01:10:54 We got to do that. Chris, the mayor's master chef. I want to try Chris's fish. It's good. Well, what's with your fish? It's just like fish. It's just the way he makes it. There's a whole RTA, by the way. You gotta like, well, what's with your fish? It's just like, you know, fish. It's just the way he makes it. There's a whole RTA about that.
Starting point is 01:11:07 You know what RTA, yeah. Yeah. It's all fish is missing that. Yeah. This is like dressing. I just put dressing on it, you know. I wish I could have you explain everything to me, Chris. No, no.
Starting point is 01:11:18 I swear to God, that makes sense. It's like all the flavors mixed into one. Yeah, yeah. But when I ask how you make something, I would hope that if it involves dressing, you would tell me what kind of dressing and perhaps not. No, no, that's the point.
Starting point is 01:11:30 You're making it. You brought too much of it. It's like you saw, you read a recipe one time that said, add a pinch of salt, and you went, oh, I just be vague with this shit. No, no, no. It's like you're talking to someone who waits till the egg is on the...
Starting point is 01:11:41 You're right, no, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. That RTA is done well're right. You're right. You're right. That RTA has done well. It's almost at 1.4 million views. Anything with any RTA with you and those fucking gold. You just have this wonderful way of speaking, Chris.
Starting point is 01:11:55 The audience did a really fun thing where they went to the only slow-mo guys video that was under a million views. And they were watching it again and again to get it above a million views. So it was only like 20,000 away. I think on Rucheshire's, the only series that has over a million views for every episode, I think is RTA.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I think so. And I mean, Reverse's blue probably does, but it takes a while now for those episodes to get up to that point. The closest though is MDB. Before this season of MDB came out, every episode had a million views except for one. It was the crunch time one.
Starting point is 01:12:30 It was me and Nick Rutherford and Kirk Johnson. And it's just, you know, not traditional Rucho-T's. Talent, but it was close. It was like nine, 60 as well. So I was like, damn, we went great. It got to a million views like before the next season came out. Did you guys have you seen any MDBs yet this season? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:48 The one in Australia was great. Oh, that one was great. Yeah, that was great. The audience came with like great suggestions. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Like I don't know if people out there watching the new season of Red versus Blue, but Joe Nick Losey's fucking killing it. Yeah, it's great. The episode that just went out episode four is one of my favorites that. I haven't watched it for you yet, so I'm not sure. This might be like the best season of Red versus Blue for press coverage, too, in a long time. No kidding. People are in a reporting of that non-stop.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Yeah, there was that wired article over the weekend. I know they talked about it, but yeah, it's been really good to see John Surchin and Pinecora's last night. Okay. Although I gotta say that wired made gave us the best headline we've ever had as a company, which was it's season 10 of Red versus Blue.
Starting point is 01:13:37 Wired wrote, how Roussier Chief won the internet with Red versus Blue. They're like, that's like, that's going on the wall for sure. Take that to Onion. Yeah. If you want a wavy, we won the internet. It can't take that away from us. It's stuck in new manuma kid.
Starting point is 01:13:52 But yeah, I liked we did that founders episode of of MDB. That was fun. That was a good. That was a fun one. That's a fun one. Purple cars. Just want to be in some with you and Matt, you know, that doesn't happen very often anymore. It was a good one. That was a fun one. That was a fun one. Purple cars. Just want to be in something with you and Matt. You know, that doesn't happen very often anymore. That was a cool bar where we filmed that.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Yeah, I said it was nice to work with Gus. Yeah, the bar was cool. You said that part. Thank you. You already covered that. Yeah, I'm clearly talking to other stuff. You could just say I agree. I agree.
Starting point is 01:14:20 There you go. Yes, you're so good. No. How long have we, are we at 20 years yet? What is this? No, 19. What are you going to do for the big two? Oh, I'm going to go.
Starting point is 01:14:32 February and next year will be 20. What's that? February of next year will be 20. February 2018, you and I have worked together for 20 years. I think like early in February, February 2nd or 3rd. You, I, did you, you, you, you should have to work with me before you work with Jeff. Yes, Jeff didn't move here till,
Starting point is 01:14:48 like January, 99. Yeah. And I worked with Matt and college Joel. I pretty much, I worked with Matt a little bit before I met Joel. Joel was Matt's friend. And I was sticking to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:59 But, yeah, so it's been a long time, but Matt, it's been, 20, yeah, a little bit longer, 23 years? I met you before I could legally drink. Was it true? Yeah, I was crazy. I was 19, because I was right before my 20th birthday. A long time, yeah. We've had every conversation.
Starting point is 01:15:19 We're done. By the way, I want to address something. Occasionally, people will get upset on the podcast because we've been doing this now for how long? How many years? We've been doing this six years, eight years? Eight, nine. Nine years?
Starting point is 01:15:30 This December will be nine. So yeah, little or eight. And people saw that video of the cow counting story that I told you. Yeah. With the Greg Keneer story. So even Miles, like, what are you talking about? I'm trying to remember that.
Starting point is 01:15:40 I asked. And I told them the same way, apparently four years apart. I told them the same way. I treat years apart. I told them the same way. I treat, I don't know about you guys, but I treat our conversations on the podcast, identical to any party that I go to or a bar. I just talk about stuff. And even though we times when I'll tell a story
Starting point is 01:15:58 that I know I've told before, but I'm talking to someone who's here on the podcast set, and they haven't heard the story like Jessica Negri, and I'll say, oh, did anybody know the story about when I did this? And a lot of times, even in that video that somebody cut those two stories together, that's the first thing I say in that is, did I tell the story about the time I got Greg
Starting point is 01:16:16 and you're fired? And everybody goes, no, I know I have, but I'll tell the story. But same thing with the party, it's like, I get the reaction that you're a viewer, and you watch something, and when somebody repeats the story, it seems weird. But if you're with the party, it's like, I get the reaction that you're a viewer and you watch something and when somebody repeats a story, it seems weird, but if you're at a party and a friend of yours that you've known for five years, meet somebody new and tell them a story.
Starting point is 01:16:32 You don't go, hey, I know the story. Stop telling the story. Yeah, I was there both times. It was still a new story to me the second time. I never know. I never knew. It's the thing, it's someone's like, have I told the story?
Starting point is 01:16:41 I don't think so. I know. Even as the story's being told, you're like, you don't remember every story that told ever. No, no. It's like, I probably, and the people are amazed I told the story so identically for years apart. I've probably told that story at dinners and parties.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Probably 5,000 times now. That was when I was a junior in college, I believe. Like I did that. Storytelling hasn't ebb and flow to it. Like, and when you find the way of telling that story that works, why would you change it? 100% correct. It's like, I'm always fascinated by seeing it comedians
Starting point is 01:17:11 and when they develop material that way. Like they go on the workshop things and they find out what works and the timing of it. And then they go on an Netflix special. After they've been telling those jokes for, you know, six months a year at that point. I'm still gotta make it look fresh every time you tell that story. Delivery is, to the audience, everything. Delivery is everything when you're telling us someone a year at that point. I'm still gonna make it look fresh every time you tell that story.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Deliveries, the audience, everything. Deliveries everything when you're telling us someone a story face to face. If you ever wanna hear us repeat ourselves, read any fucking press interview with us. Read like four to row. The press always reports on the same exact thing. Always, again and again and again.
Starting point is 01:17:39 So that's where we repeat ourselves. That was one of the things you told me when I started getting interviewed for stuff, when Ruby started taking off, you're like, be prepared to tell, give the same answers time and time again, because no matter how many people have heard it, there are still infinitely more that haven't yet,
Starting point is 01:17:55 and I'm gonna ask the same questions. Yeah, no, I agree. It's like even here, it's like when I say the Greg Kier story, the cow counting story. I thought it was twice apparently, and the animal person hasn't heard it. Well, I only saw it because I still have a pose.
Starting point is 01:18:05 I thought that sometimes away, but like when you go on dates or something, where you're like, you're telling a story, it's like the same questions, or you, you know, whatever, and you end up telling the same stories. Did you have like your five go to stories in a date? Or so it's like, if there's a lull,
Starting point is 01:18:21 I can tell this funny story. How about your best? How about what's your best? Your best, oh fuck. Best story on a date and there's a law. I don't know, I just try and keep, it's just a weird thing. It's like there's opportunity,
Starting point is 01:18:34 and whenever I see an opportunity to tell a funny story, I'll jump at that. Yeah, yeah. But he also gets boring. So then sometimes I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna tell this story, you can cause I'm bored. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:42 And this person isn't worth my entire discount. Well, no, it's just like, I'll just like, more free flow, transportation. Yeah, yeah, you don't want it to be too structured because that's not fun. But it does feel sometimes like, like a comedy routine. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:18:55 You're like, I'm gonna go through this bit and then you know, this story works like, it's exactly the same kind of, I've been flowed. Yeah, yeah, we're entertainers. I don't know, that's what we do for better or worse. I don't know. Usually worse. I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I don't know, it's what we do for better or worse, I don't know. Usually worse. I would just go the other route when I was dating.
Starting point is 01:19:09 I would always just try to find as much about the person that I was talking to as a kid. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Well, yeah, it's a better tactic. No, no, no, no. It's an interview for sex. I agree with you. Let me rephrase if maybe I'm a spoke like,
Starting point is 01:19:23 if there's ever a low in a conversation or like you need to like pull out something to be like, please know that I'm interesting. Yeah, it's like that. It's interesting, like turn that low into a low. Oh. Oh, that's hot comedy. I can't wait to hear that joke again in four years.
Starting point is 01:19:37 For me, dude, no, for me there's, I don't give a fuck what you're talking about. If you're talking about something passionately, I am just enamored by whatever it is you're saying. Like, nothing more incredibly attractive to me than passion for something. I pull Hitler videos. I was like,
Starting point is 01:19:54 I was like, my mouth's like, well, you really believe in what he's saying? You're in passion. What a funnier visionary. I think you're gonna shave. Oh man. I was totally unrelated, but I was traveling this weekend and I was staying at this hotel at Nameda Nowear.
Starting point is 01:20:12 And I saw maybe the most confusing product of my life. So go on. So I walked in and it's, you know, it's a, I don't know, it's kind of like maybe like an extended stay hotel. I walk in and there's like a couch, a bed, TV, coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave. Okay. The microwaves brand was micro-fridge.
Starting point is 01:20:32 Yeah, that freaked me out. Mm. I was like, there it is. I was like, does this thing have like a cool setting on it? But it's defrost and cook, micro-fridge. That's, mm. I thought. Here's the deal, I bet it's supposed to be attached to a fridge.
Starting point is 01:20:48 That's what people were speculating on Twitter. Is that maybe it was supposed to have been a combo unit and they've just removed the fridge. There was a fridge in the room. It didn't say micro fridge or whatever. The opposite of a fridge would be. Max oven. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Where's your microwave? Is it a free standing microwave? Is it in your wall? It is in an island in the middle of the kitchen. Okay. It's deserted. It's like a cabinet. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:09 So I have that too. And when I moved into my current house, one of the first things I noticed was that there was no light in the microwave. And then after a few weeks I noticed there was a light, it was burned out. But I'll change the light in it. And I looked at how to do that.
Starting point is 01:21:22 You had to pull the microwave out of the wall and take off the molding and do all that to replace the light. And it's like, God damn it, I'ma do this, I did it. Like I like all of that trouble to then just go, and then that was it. And then reassembled the wall. That's why whoever lived there before.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Never changed it. Don't whip a burnt out. Sometimes, if you're dealt with some cars, you have to replace the turn signals or the headlights. It's with the upper end. Sometimes, like, if you're dealt with like some cars, you have to replace like the turn signals or the headlights, it's like some cars like, oh, I'm done in two minutes. Yes. Some cars is like, oh, I'm taking apart the fender.
Starting point is 01:21:53 I'm gonna sell this car. We're going in elbow deep to fucking replace a tiny light bulb here. Why the fuck do they make it that hard sometimes? I remember one time on my ex-girlfriend's car in college to replace her alternator, I had to take off four other belts to get to the all-gate. I had to get off the AC belt, everything.
Starting point is 01:22:10 It was a Pontiac, I remember very well. I had to get all these belts, just get to the fucking alternator, you know? And it was crazy to me, absolutely insane. When I used to own that 64 Chevy pickup that you always make fun of, the one thing I loved about it was, it was so basic that you could see all of the parts.
Starting point is 01:22:26 Yeah, and you could sit in there. Like, I had to replace the fuel pump at one point. I just, I literally crawled under the hood, I sat in the engine compartment and we like, remove the fuel pump. Like, all right, that's bad. Got a new one, just put it on there. I don't know anything about cars.
Starting point is 01:22:37 It was like, oh, I think the fuel pump's bad. Let me try replacing that. Bought one for just like a couple of bucks, go in there, fix it. Took like 30 minutes. Finally, it's on. Yeah. Cars were so much easier back then. You like you would push the accelerator,
Starting point is 01:22:50 and it was just like a rod that connected up to your carburetor and opened up to like gas in the carburetor. That's all it was. It was like, oh, do you want to go faster here? Just turn this screw to let more gas in, and you could like adjust the mixture of fuel and air depending on what you wanted to do. So fucking basic.
Starting point is 01:23:09 That's why I never begrudge younger people who don't know how to work on cars because they're so different now. You know, I grew up with cars, the used cars we had when we were teenagers, those were cars from the 70s that were 10 years old by the time I was driving in the late 80s and early 90s. So you could absolutely work on those all the time. And it wasn't that big a deal. You know, you had a ratchet set, you could do everything. Now it's Jesus.
Starting point is 01:23:33 See, it's damn near impossible. That's why I was so excited on the Amazing Race, one of the pit stops or detours. Now roadblock, there's a roadblock that we had. Where we had to change the oil in an Armenian taxi. Oh, yeah, yeah. Just destroyed it. I destroyed it. Nice.
Starting point is 01:23:48 And it was just like, and you know, it's, of course, the older audience, I thought they would endear me to them, but they just hated all the younger people who couldn't figure out how to change the oil in a car. It was, I did it in like 10 seconds. Proud of you. They actually gave me a little bit of a kind edit there. Because I did everything to spec, but I guess I was in a rush, so I didn't let the oil drain out completely
Starting point is 01:24:10 before I put the nut back in. And when I went to fill it back up, it overfilled. So I had to go back under there and drain some of it out and then fill it back up again and keep checking the dipstick. Because now I didn't have the exact amount. So I had to go, but they kind of, they kind of, they kind of gave me a nice edit on that.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Yeah. You know, who gives a shit? I still got out there like 10 times faster than age. So anybody else. I've been watching the season of Amazing Race and Man this last week. Someone had a fucking breakdown trying to make those ladles. The, or the God, I mean, that was,
Starting point is 01:24:41 that was hard to watch. I like the twist they get the season with the strangers. Yeah. It's like, it says some serious drama. Yeah, they did no one on the race knew each other. At the, the first episode, they all like basically picked their partner. What?
Starting point is 01:24:53 And now they're going on the race. And so like, some people it's like, all right, like, they fit really well. So you're like, man, those people just do not fit at all. Shit. And it's just like, some people, some people get along, some people don't. My favorite's like, Ashton vanque, they do not get along. I follow, they follow him on Twitter. We follow each other on Twitter. Because when I do it. My favorite's like, Ashton and Vank, they do not get along.
Starting point is 01:25:05 I follow them on Twitter. We follow each other on Twitter, because when I did it now, it's like, went through and followed the people I thought were, you know, I just, you know, you're trying to guess who's gonna do well and everything. Yeah, but I mean, that's like, that's the epitome of two very different people
Starting point is 01:25:17 who argue a lot, but then like when it comes time to like do something, is that all right, we're gonna focus or do this? All right. That's cool. What's his amazing quote that he had when he was navigating? He said, okay, this next intersection take 135 degrees.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Yeah. What is 135 degrees? Yeah. He's, I think he's a financial analyst, right? So. Is that he is? So he's very analytical. And there was a, there was a,
Starting point is 01:25:37 did you go on the YouTube channel? They did this for our season. I had never seen it before. They put up so much behind the scene stuff. I mean, they just, they'll put up a 10 minute unedited conversation of those two, they had those two working it out one time up, just like, here's why I'm here, why are you here?
Starting point is 01:25:53 Why are you doing this? And they'll just, and they'll go back and forth. They had, I forget what the, the thing they were doing, but they, they were arguing with each other is like, rationale for why they want to approach the situation, which happens a lot on that show. Ashy and I were like, we were constantly like second-guess ourselves and everything else. So, it's so much fun doing that show, man. Yeah, so, Joe, it's a fucking great show.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Yeah. Love that show. Yeah, in case you watched Amazing Race last season, we were, they usually do it twice a year. The show is now at the point where they do it once a year. So, I was on season 28. Season 29 started airing at the end of March. And if you live in the US, it's on CBS and they moved the show to Thursday nights at 10 PM, 9th century, 10 PM.
Starting point is 01:26:32 Yeah, it was really, really weird. That's a tough time slot. That's a really tough time. Well, the last week they did two episodes. So they started at eight last week. I think Survivor won the week because Survivor, that's just been around forever. And they remember the first season, my parents, we would put in a blank VHS and record it if we knew that we were going to be gone so that we wouldn't miss it. It was incredible, that was the most exciting television
Starting point is 01:26:54 I remember as a kid. I was pretty nuts. When the survivor wrapped up the season, I actually went back and I rewatched the final tribal council and when Sue tells the other one, like if you were dying in the desert I would not give you any water to drink yeah talking about rats and snakes. I'm a kelly. Yeah, I forgot How fucking good that first season of survival snake and a rat. Yeah, the story of snake and a rat. Yes. So
Starting point is 01:27:18 fucking good. Yeah, because she turned on her like they were they were they were They were doing this thing for voting where they were they were just gonna sit there forever until somebody changed their vote. And also like they could not get rid of Kelly because she kept winning the immunity challenge. They were trying to get rid of her, but she won like the last three in a row. So she was just getting rid of everyone else on the way.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Yeah, that first season of Survivor was amazing. It was, nobody had seen anything like that before. I looked up the ratings actually at the time. Uh, sir, and it was fucking crazy. Like you think about television ratings nowadays, and I don't know, I feel like people would be happy to get like four million. But let me see what the ratings were here.
Starting point is 01:27:54 Five ratings. There's six one. The first episode of Survivor got 15 and a half million viewers. The finale, and it built from there. The finale got 51.690 million viewers. But that's a different world back then. Yeah, different. Well, that was August 2000.
Starting point is 01:28:13 Does it have a share? There, does it show that there? Let me see. What the share was? Yeah, ready share, 18 to 49, for the finale was 22.8. That means almost 25% of all people that were watching TV watch that. That's you not gonna get that today.
Starting point is 01:28:29 Like if Walking Dead gets like eight, nine million, it's enormous. You know that does that. It's insane. I think like, I think like, what's a big bang theory? Which, come on. Hey nerds and people. What a show.
Starting point is 01:28:43 I think that show gets like 18 20 million viewers. And that's like the big biggest rated TV or highest rated TV show, right? Yeah. I think there was a point in my life for forget when it was maybe when it was doing interviews for for amazing race, but we're talking to more traditional TV reporters. And they said, what would you guys say? We're the gamers. That's how we were.
Starting point is 01:29:03 Like sure. Listed it. That was our category of Ashley and I on the amazing race. They go, oh, you must love the Big Bang theory. It's like, no. No. Have you seen the video of a, to clip of the Big Bang theory, but with all the laugh tracks replaced
Starting point is 01:29:14 with the major bass? Yeah, no. It's fucking great. It's just like a single. Ha! Ha! It's so fucking good. But the guys that make that show,
Starting point is 01:29:23 they, I mean, I think those are the guys who made two and a half men as well. Those guys know how to make TV. I mean, they have dominated primetime television for a really long period of time. Oh, Jesus. This is, we're about to go down a serious fucking rabbit hole.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Oh, jeep. Here it goes. From Twitter, V. Shaw Patel. Once and o, hey, did you guys ever watch that show the mole? Oh, okay, listen to that noise, I remember the mole. Did you watch the mole? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:54 Did you watch the mole? I remember it. The mole is the greatest television show that is ever made. I remember you talking to me about the mole. I don't remember what you said about it. It was like a reality show where everyone had to work together, kind of like, amazing race. You go to exotic locations, you have to work together, it's like accomplished tasks,
Starting point is 01:30:09 but one of the people competing in the show was a plant from the show who was working to subvert everyone and to stop them from accomplishing their goals. And the hosts of the show was a not yet famous Anderson Cooper. Yeah. Who was awesome. Oh my God, that's right.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Yeah. And in order to avoid every week, they would eliminate the person who knew the least about the mole. So it's like they would have to take this really long quiz. Like when you were at dinner on Tuesday night, who was sitting to the moles left? Or like what color shirt was the mole wearing when you were taking the bus from here to there? There's an observation thing. Yes. Like holy fuck. Yeah, to pay to everything. Fucking cool. Everything in that fucking show. I don't know where I am. There is a lot of that I remember fucking.
Starting point is 01:30:48 But I will say this. Oh, I will say this. So, as that show got to the end, everyone knew who the bone was, and it was clear that everyone knew who it was, and they ostracized that person, and they didn't, like in the show's editing, they didn't really hide that.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Right. And also it was, for, you know, reality of, like, survivor when they say, we hate you and you're voting out and get out. And people understood that, people did not understand the show of the mole. It was canceled in its second season. They just stopped.
Starting point is 01:31:19 They did a celebrity mole, right? They stopped showing the show. Remember, they just like, oh, never mind. We're not gonna show the rest of this thing. Yeah. And they just didn't even air the second half of the season. Remember they just like, oh, never mind. We're not going to show the rest of this thing. Yeah. And they just didn't even air the second half of this season. So I want to go back and rewatch it, because I've forgotten enough.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I probably don't remember anything. I remember who the mole was at this point. I did, too. But I'd like to go back and I remember who won, too. I'm watching. And you're making me want to go watch reality TV in 2000. Well, with the Ryder Strike, get ready. There's going to be a lot more reality TV
Starting point is 01:31:44 if the Ryder Strike goes through ready. There's gonna be a lot more reality TV if the Ryder Strike goes through. That's exactly one of the reasons why reality shows took off the last time was because the big Ryder Strike. And here we are heading out. It was like 10 years ago. We're heading towards one again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:55 I mean, Survivor had already existed as a thing, but yeah, the Ryder Strike, I mean, you don't really have any Ryder Strike. The last one was 2009. Well, I think it was about 10 years, I think it was around the 30. Really? Because I remember it was during, what's that? Super heroes.
Starting point is 01:32:12 Yeah, heroes. And the end of the show in 2008. Wow. Screwed, because the first season was really good and the second season was like, I would argue the first season started great. Yeah. And then it ended weird.
Starting point is 01:32:23 It ended so the last, the very end of season one was like, what? Yeah. Because the whole, the whole lead up in the first, and for talking about shows, it's still like 12 years old. But the whole lead, the, in heroes, there was this, one of the big events in it was, there was this premonition of them all on a city street. And they, there was something was about to happen. And there were cars everywhere.
Starting point is 01:32:44 And they were all running up to each other, and then slowly that event would be pieced together, and they knew this event was coming, this event was coming, and then what happened, it didn't happen on the street, exactly as they all had a premonition of. It happened in like an office courtyard. And it made no sense.
Starting point is 01:32:58 I mean, they just run on a money gusts. I don't know. I don't know. Like, severe rewrites at the end. Maybe. I saw a red thing. I was an interview with, I believe it was JJ Abrams talking about the last Writer Strike, about how it was right around the time they were finishing up writing the Star Trek reboot.
Starting point is 01:33:14 And they had written it, they finished it, the Writer Strike started, but JJ Abrams and whoever else was on that film, one of the other writers, they were also producers. So they were on that movie as producers. And they went to set to film, but they could not touch the script. They said like the actors would come up to them with like suggestions for better lines. And all they could do was like, mm. I like nothing.
Starting point is 01:33:36 Like they could just acknowledge that they were talking to them, but they could not change anything about the script. So they had to shoot the script that as it was written. They were, they were, that's tough too, because like, there's so many times where you're like, oh, well, this line might be better. Oh, you know what? Sing it on screen.
Starting point is 01:33:53 I think we should do this. Yep. So they said that there was really painful, there was a real struggle for them, because there were a lot of things they wanted to adjust and fix, but they could not. Well, Colton was a writer on Key and Peel. And so he's in the union for the WGA.
Starting point is 01:34:07 And he wrote a tweet about it just recently where, and this is one of the big complaints about that the union has now with the current rules is a lot of web releases of shows are considered to be promotional. So they don't get paid, the writers don't get paid the way they get paid on like if the show airs on TV. But there are sketches that Colton has written for Key and Peel
Starting point is 01:34:28 that have been put on YouTube by Comedy Central. And they've made, in an individual video, 75, 80 million views, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars that a video that big will make. And it's just, no, this is promotional, that's it. Even though these companies will take the revenue for themselves, you know what I mean? So it's promotional money.
Starting point is 01:34:50 It's promotional money. Yeah, I think the last time the Reddler's Guild struck one of the big things was the web series that they made for Battlestar Galactica. I wanna say. Where was it the office? No, no, office seems like it was for it. It wasn't that long ago.
Starting point is 01:35:09 But maybe anyway, it's always like, web stuff is always, they can't ever get it straight. And you know, when they build these, when they build these contracts, these major contracts between the unions and the studios, you know, they don't always understand where everything's headed. And then when they get there,
Starting point is 01:35:24 the studio is like Exploding the shit out of it, but the the contract started keeping up with basically officers O5 to 13 O5 to 13. Let's battle star galactica Let's see You're saying that one to the old ass podcast. I don't stop not to go. It's 042, it doesn't say, 0409. Yeah, but the good parts were 0406. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 01:35:51 God, that show was so good. It was so good. Okay, I know I'm going out on a limb here. Has anybody been watching the new season of Sam Raid Jack? No. Fuck, did you watch, so good. Did you watch new brick and mortar? Did we talk about this?
Starting point is 01:36:02 Yes, yes. I love brick and mortar.
