Oh, no. Oh, no. This is a rooster teeth production. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the RC podcast. I'm Gus. Oh, I'm Gavin. I'm Cameron. I'm Blaine and I'm Gus. What's funny? Blaine?

I just like I don't know is Cameron's first time in the podcast welcome camera. It's not really every week He's been shooting his shot anytime someone's like I don't know if I'm gonna make it to the podcast camera's like I'm ready I'm warning you jokingly. You want deck old times? I every single time. I'm like make it to the podcast. Kim's like, I'm ready. I'm spawning. I'm joking. You won deck all the times? I every single time I'm like wrapping up a production. Somebody says something like, yeah, Gavin can't make it or blank can't make it. And I pop up with like a camera in the light. I'm like, God, if you need me right here right now.

He walked in to set earlier before we started. He's like, I'm still not convinced this isn't a prank. Oh, but I don't blame you. I've been burnt so many times. But yeah, it was just like hearing you say, I'm Cameron, it's happening. Yeah, Barbara's having some travel woes today. Well, this dog shit.

It's bad. It's really bad. It's real poo. She's in airport hell. She seems like. She got a pod in America in DFW, which I didn't know that they had the pod hotels there. Do you know you've been in one of them?

Like a place to take a nap? Yeah, I guess she stayed there overnight. So it's like in the terminal? Yeah, they're like little like... Like pass security? It's like the same way that you like see the like little massage parlors and airports and stuff, right? But instead it's just private rooms that are

yeah, little sealed pods. I think you can have a few. How much bunts? How much bunts? More than you'd think I'm sure. I bet it's like one time years ago at my old job before Rousseau teeth, I remember I was connecting in Chicago to come back to Austin, was late at night and

there had been bad weather. A bunch of flights were canceled. I remember walking through the terminal and out in the terminal, there were just like a sea of cots laid out. I was like, oh man, they are expecting some shit. Like this is gonna be some pupils hell out here tonight. It says on this thing, Napcenters, sweets are priced at $34 for a one hour minimum stay. Okay.

And then $850 for every 15 minutes thereafter. So a flat overnight rate is 125. That's not bad. I'm just like, how much for a quick wink? How private are we talking? A full bucks for a wife give me your most private pod room. I Think that's neat. How many other bad? Like pod room. Can we do a podcast from there a pod? Yeah, how big are they? Can we get four people in there? I bet the audio is great

I bet it's nice. Oh my quiet and cozy. This room. Yeah. Yeah, we like do we have anybody in It was this room, yeah. Oh yeah, we had one microphone. Do we have anybody in the cast that would be like Costa Fobick though? Are you guys listening? No, we should absolutely put them on them. Yeah, I'm not an opposite of Costa Fobick. You like squash me, yeah.

You okay, all right. I thought we'd been claustrophobic once, I think. And it was like, I went out to Enchanted Rock and you know how you can like go in into the rock. Yeah, I did that once and I was like, okay, I'm not claustrophobic, but this is too much. I think like at one point, like I was like kind of half stuck and I'm kind of long, you know, kind of like half stuck,

like spinning around and I look and I'm like, oh, there's a wall of spiders. All right, like three inches from my face. Like I need to keep moving now. We like, like that was too much. Splunking is horrifying. Yeah, I don't get cla now. We're like, that was too much. Splunking is horrifying. Yeah. I don't get claustrophobic until I see a video

of somebody being like, this is the exact, like underwater cave where this guy got trapped. It's like, yeah, and you have to, like, just like, just call a bone to get him out and let. There was like, I saw a diagram of like a cave system that a guy died in and like, they showed like the 3D map, you know, like the side view, like when you're looking at like an ant farm, and basically he just like dislodged himself in upside down,

like half a mile underground, and I was like, that's the worst death imaginable. Yeah, it's, yeah, maybe I'm a little bit, go get a little bit closer to that. I was wondering if the story, there was some moment it was like crawling through some ducts or a vent, also like, and fell down a shaft, but like fell and there wasn't enough room

for her to like, level up, you just fell. And there was a stuck like upside down. That wasn't an Austin. Yeah, it wasn't that an Austin. Yeah. Did she still there? Did she get out? No, she did not get out.

Oh god. I think it was like, if I remember right, it was like a exhaust from like a restaurant kitchen. So it was like hot if I remember right, it was like a exhaust from a restaurant kitchen. So it was like hot air. Oh, it was hitting hot greasy air. Yeah. It cooked. You also can't be upside down for that long

before you just peg it. You know from your experience. Be it upside down sucks. Yeah. Well, didn't bring you that immersion? Yeah. I went off a, well, got off like a 16-hour flight Landed on an Australian morning and just strung upside down Well, you think that would be the best time to do it because when you land in Australia you're upside down already

You weren't actually then We're back in your North American orientation You're just on the wrong side of the world for it. Oh, just got I remember you and Michael and I think he was like James and Bruce Just looked like shit the rest Yeah, we went I think that was the test day and we actually did the main shoot the day after yeah But we arrived we landed and went straight to that test To be like oh wonder if this works was that the third person view one like resident evil no This was the last of us last was got you yeah, but us got it. Yeah, but it was the next days when we were upside down

for the longest, and that's when all the blood vessels in my eyes started to pop. So you can only do that for a very short amount of time. Well, it's bad. Because I directed that one, and we brought you out there initially to test if your body was even capable, and if you were comfortable. Because the worst case scenario would have been

you come out on the shoot day, strung upside down, and then you're just fucking hate it, and then we'd have to, you know, replace you. Yeah, I mean, I hate it. Yeah, it was a very fun video. I watched it the other day. It was really? It was really my old content and it was just like,

this one, it was fun. All those emergence were pretty painful at the time, but look back on them all funnily. Yeah, they were a lot of fun to make. Double with the cover game shot in the amount. Mostly I think like Fibello, Daniel Fibello directed like the last season or so and Just put such a level of polish on them and there was so much fun and a hitman one like the hitman one We did at RTX here in Austin that was fucking blast

Could you get claustrophobic in the episode of Haunter where we buried you in the coffin? No, no what was annoying, is that I couldn't like, I couldn't like lift my knees without them hitting the roof of the coffin. So I couldn't like, when I was like, cramp it up, I was like, I can't really stretch it. Isn't that the definition of claustrophobia?

No, because I wasn't scared. I was just like, I'm so uncomfortable. Physically uncomfortable. But I could have fallen asleep in there. Oh really? Yeah. You were a little weight of blanket in there? Yeah, I was a weight of blanket, but I don't be needed. But I remember just lying in there thinking,

this would be someone's worst nightmare. I tested that space ahead of you getting into it because I had to rig all the cameras for that show. And so we had the little night vision cameras that went in there and they closed the coffin to make sure that the framing was right. And I laid there for 15 seconds I was like Gavin's gonna lose

We started rolling and they kept checking you know you every like five minutes. Yeah, I had a pipe it was a little bit scary when This lifted up the statue like shake it around with the with the digger thing I 100% if I'd been there I would have farted Matt air pipe. I mean I would have seen that hole in the ground and I would have just let it just get that air pipe. You would have heard a trumpet from above. Now yeah what would I have done there? I couldn't have got away from it. But it just had to have already done nothing. I'd rather suffocate. Start blowing out of the hole to like force all the fart back out. I tried to fought back up the hole.

I regret so much that I was never able to do one of those hauntress shoots. They looked so much fun. I was just talking about them the other day, because I had the fun job of camera rigging for that show where we would show up at a location, have a rough plan of where we wanted cameras to go, but there's so many GoPro's and night vision cameras, stuff like that.

They would give me the tourist map to like like the haunted battleship or something, with room circled. And they'd like just put a go pro in there. So I'm walking around this presumably haunted battleship or house or whatever it was with like 15 cameras, no clue where I'm going. Everyone trying to scare me the entire time. The ghosts were no help. The ghosts were not helpful at all. at all there like are you in 4k

I'm not sure actually 30 frames per second. That's a great thing about go pros where the first frame of every clip is like someone going like Like they can I could go pro stretch face. Yeah, the best go pro experience I've ever had was we're doing the, it was the Star Wars Battlefront jetpack immersion that you guys weren't in. It was me and Chris. I directed it. So of course, I put myself in it because I wanted to even fly into jetpack and we had to shoot a paintball gun at three mannequins and then we turned the mannequins into actual people that were shooting back at us. Who caught a paintball? Does someone get hit in the face? No, that was you on the mask. No, I know, I got hit in the face. There's someone else going in the face.

I got fucking pegged right on the neck. I mean, I was like airborne up in the air. That was something I'm thinking of. So I think it was Barbara fucking sniped me from like 150, 200 feet, it was crazy. But yeah, no, we dropped a GoPro at one point. I think Chris crash landed and we dropped a GoPro into this like murky, like waist tie GoPro at one point. I think Chris crash landed and we dropped a GoPro into this murky waist-high, chest-high lake.

And we got in line, held hands, and then we all just shuffled our feet across the ground to see if we could find it. We took our shoes off. And I remember our DP Jason Harder just went, just disappears in the water for a bit. He comes back just goes, ah!

And everyone was like, ah! It was North, man. He comes back just goes, and everyone was like, it was North Man, every what, it was North Man. He's like, I've saved the $200 camera that's out of $1, it's just probably what you're up for. Yeah, fuck the GoPro, it's the footage. We lost our shit, it was the greatest. I would not. The scrim thing you're just like, it's gone.

Yeah. We're not finding that again. We had it in that body of water. No, it's in. No. I'm not sure if I've told this on the podcast, but we did a shoot, a slow-mo shoot in Iceland where we were filming like guys and stuff in the summer. And then at the end of the day, we put the phantom,

we're also filming that with the drone. And then at the end of the day, we put the phantom on the drone and just flew over a waterfall and just like flew off into the distance. And it was like hovering there and I was like, all right, checking all the triggers. I was like, yeah, okay, yeah, whenever you're ready, drone operator go.

And as I watched it disappear off, I was like, I didn't change the mags. All of our footage from the guys' earlier. Oh, no. I could have just swapped them. But I've sent all of our footage from the entire day. And it was like, the drone was a little dark in the distance. I was like, you hear like a peel of thunder in the background.

You're like, oh, I've done it now. That was a show where I was just doing two-body jobs. Like, I was directing it. I was in it. I was the phantom up. And then I was the DIT. So I'd download everything at the end of the day. And I was like, you're probably going to do your guarantee job.

I'm forgetting the important bit. Yeah, I didn't mention it. I was just like, when it came back, I was like, you forgot to do your best job. I forgot and the important bit. Yeah, I didn't mention it. I was just like, when it came back, I was like, oh, what? He held it shaking like it was your baby. How did the footage now? I realized I'm nearing the end of my private pilot lessons. Oh, sorry.

I'm going to be getting my certificate soon. And I was was I started thinking I was like I wonder what it takes to become like to get a commercial drone operator license. Oh, oh yeah, it's a Similar past once you have a private pilot license you just have to take two hour online course to get a commercial drone certificate Oh, it's nice and serious. Yeah, as soon as I get my pilot license Oh, I'm just gonna take like two-hour online course and get like a commercial drone license, and we get some buck, some like big honking drones and like do some serious shit with them. There's a whole gimmick or not gimmick. The guy who does it is perfectly

qualified, but this 17 year old was the drone operator for that ambulance movie, the Michael Bay thing. That's what made me think about it, actually. I'm like, they should do ambience too, where instead of getting a 17-year-old, they get Gus. The opposite of a 17-year-old, I'd say. But I don't know, these drones are kind of fast. What if we slowed it down a little bit here? Back in my day, let's play it safe. What kind of a stick would did he have on the drones in the ambulance? Probably reds, because that's Michael Bay's thing.

Is it? Yeah, it's a big red thing. Is it yeah big red guy? Big red big red. Didn't they make him a special camera at one point? No, that was someone else Direct Ridley Scott for alien. They made him a xenomorph looking camera looks sick I think I saw that uh, he didn't use it. It was too heavy Fucking aqua man has like a custom, no, it was just Portland. Yeah, he has a, Jason Memo, he's like an ambassador for Red.

So he has like a gold plated commoto. Jason Memo is an ambassador for everything that I want. Like he, he like did this thing with, like when it was camper van companies. So I think they just gave him his own custom camper van. Like dude's making like 500 K a year off of just free shit alone. And it's just like, fuck, that's so cool. It's being advanced.

Have you seen that? I guess I missed it when they announced it back like in February or March, but Volkswagen announced that they're going to release an electric bus in the vein of like their old buses from like the 670s. It's so cool. It's got a dumb as fuck name. We call it the ID buzz. Oh. Okay. But it's from like the 670 Soquel. It's got a dumb as fuck name. We call it the ID buzz. Oh.

Okay. But it looks super cool. Can we get a picture of that? Cause that sounds rad. I'm horny for that. I loved their old school of Volkswagen buses. This things are so cool. See what I find out here.

Volkswagen ID buzz. I can show you. It sure they can find one for me. It will weigh 7,000 pounds minimum. Cause of battery? Yeah. It's already a big, pumpkin vehicle. Look at the battery? Yeah. It's already a big hunk in vehicle. Look at how big it is.

It's too open. It doesn't look anything like that. Why does it make you look different? Yeah. Because it's like you can see straight into that thing. I feel like you want the sliding doors and shit. It has sliding doors. It just looks weird.

Why do you feel like cel-shade? What's also like con? I almost feel like because it's a concept vehicle right now, once they release the actual normal manufactured version, it will look more appropriate. Well, this is gonna be it. That's the final, they're rolling it out. And I think it launches in Europe first.

Look at it. Like next year, I think it's North American 2024. I think they wrecked it. A little too cool. It's got the essence, but it's still, it's off the mark. It looks like it's half the size of the original van. What are you talking about? It needs to be a flat front.

You have no frame of reference. You're looking at a picture. That could be a hot wheel for you. I can use the fucking seats and the steering wheel in wheels as a reference point. Can't see the seats or the steering wheel. That's like a mid-size SUV, bro. Look at the door handles.

That's the size of a hand. See, saying a door handle or the tires, I could respect. A tie, I can be any size. Like a small details. The rear view mirror. The, saying a door handle or the tires, I could respect. Ty could be any size. Small details. The rear view mirror, the headlights, the door handles. All of it is reference points. Put that in 10 on top.

Yeah, satellite in hands. Top. It's tiny, it's a baby, it's half the size of the original. Yeah, you could get in and fucking the old ones. This one, you'd have to pull it off the sheet. You could shack in that. Yeah, but you get all claustrophobic. You're not a third.

You're not a $34 whink in there. Tell you what, Volkswagen, if you want to sell Vans, send us one. Blaine will prove that you can fucking one of their Vans. You're gonna sell them like crazy. That reminds me of you were talking about someone while guys earlier, BMW did that thing for you for ever ago.

I don't know if that ever got launched. I hope it didn't just break. So it's two BMW Z, what are the flack of blood? I don't care. And we had him over the weekend and I needed to drive one to set. So I asked Brandon and I was like, hey, can I just take one home

because I'm gonna drive from my house to location. So he let me and then I remember like just driving downtown and I look over and you and Dan were next to me and you guys were just like, he was like Ferris wheelers day off when he sees his dad, then you guys were like, and I look over and you and Dan were next to me and you guys were just like there's like Ferris wheelers day off when he sees his dad that you guys were like and I was just like like I'd stolen the car. Enjoying the beamer are you playing? Yeah I was like ooh, throw it off. That was great. Yeah we did uh

that was a weird one because they we gave them two concepts and we filmed both of them for some reason and only put out one. We filmed more than two. I think we filmed a lot. One of them I know was did not make the cut. I also don't think it turned out how you expected it to without getting into a bunch of details. But yeah, that was fun shoot.

That was like out in like a... Is that why we almost died? Yeah, that's why I don't wanna say that. That was not in dripping springs I think, is where we shot that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah's why I didn't want to say that. That was not in dripping springs, I think, because we're always shot that. Yeah, yeah, no, it would have been like four dead and stupid car crash. Did you almost die?

And turn driving for some reason. What was it like a safety feature that failed? And you're like, oh, we can't put this video out. That's for sure. No, it was just like, it would have been a dumb idea in any car, even that fucking Volkswagen, that's tiny, to cause. It's a good size.

Why am I defending this fucking, I don't know. I love Tesla. You're the muskrat. Don't ever call me that. It's pointing that term muskrat. Biggie one musk fan, you're a muskrat. I'm not, I'm absolutely not. Oh, and you Twitter overlord?

Oh God. How long before he shuts us down any day? No Trump gets back on I didn't even thought about that over under three weeks. Well wait, what's his truth? This is new platform. How long do we give that because I believe truth will is it still around? Isn't it? I thought that was I thought they had another social media I you know It's almost like they're putting them out like hotcakes because they make money and then shut it down I

Say as soon as that one dies. He's around. Oh Good is Cameron Pester Download on the app store coming soon Google Play Store. I was feeling like Apps launch on the Google Play Store first and then they come to the iOS app store later. It's weird that I feel like the other way around you think it's because Google has like lower standards and then they come to the iOS app store later. It's weird that- I feel like the other way around. You think it's because Google has a lower standards and Apple needs to endure more-

No, it's not that- It's not that- Google has a lower, it's that Apple is a huge pain in the dick to get anything approved by and to have anything to deal with when it comes to like Apple. I'm not when I used to head up events and we used to have to push the RTX app. It was a pain in your dick.

It was a huge pain in the ass. Like, what's the deadline to submit it so that they can approve it and get it out? Like, oh my God, they haven't approved it yet. Even though it's been weeks, it's just a huge pain. And you have to make them separately, too, right? Like, it's going to operate differently on an Apple app. So you're just like, I'm going to make the easy one first. And then when no one likes it, I'll just stop.

It's fine. I wonder, can you see what your most used app is? Yeah, if you can, there's like a- What do they call it? Activity monitor? Screen time? Years is probably- Is yours the home slice like,

I found that app? No, no, a way to do this. They don't have an app, but somehow it still is, the most used app. Doesn't make any sense. I don't know why I'm linking this up, I don't care. It's probably Chrome. It's riveting content.

Use Chrome on your phone? Yeah. Yeah, you know what I mean, yeah. I use Safari on my phone. Oh, you. Oh. Yeah. Use Chrome on your,

Chrome's nice reason you can. On your desktop and your laptop too? Yeah, yeah. You can then go all the accounts. Yeah. You can go to the same bookmarks and stuff. You've had with Safari too. Well, sure, but I just mean if you use one, do you not use Safari on your desktop and everything?

There's Firefox over here. What is going on? Oh, yeah, what do you do? Well, I mean, I just try not to support Google whenever possible. That's right. What? Am I crazy?

What am I missing? I just want to give him my information Did you did you yell at Blaine once for using an ad blocker? Yeah? And you don't use Google products all of our stuff on YouTube Listen, it's the dichotomy of being Gus sure it's very complicated, but it's a very narrow mind field. I can walk Whatever it's not it's not easy being a Gus every day. What kind of information do you think Gus is Tesla selling about him? Oh man.

He's like, hey Spotify, do you want to know what Gus is? I don't think I've ever used Spotify. Really? Wait, really? Yeah, totally this the other day. Do you tell me the Gang B soundtrack was on Spotify? And I was like, oh I guess I got to finally install Spotify, huh? Do you win Amp?

Oh, I was joking. Well, when Amp, not at night, it's the win Amp in here. What install Spotify huh do you When I'm not What it does really whip the long the past what kind of music do you listen to music? Do you listen to I like chamber music? Jimmy Lee though like Jimmy Lee like what what are you listen to? So close to crack myself up now. It's like beat red from how much you laughing at your own joke. It's really fun. I'm having a more gust of league himself up.

He's out. Oh my god. What the fuck? Was that the first self-leave? Leaving because of him? The duality of Gus. It's not even that funny. You just got me just right.

Yeah. I was thinking the other day, I mainly listen to the music that my mum listened to in her car when I was about three. She's 80s crap at the time her car when I was about three. She's 80s crap at the time. And then I was thinking, if I had a kid, he would be listening to the stuff that my mom listened to in her car when I was three. Like I just do, it's the same stuff. Yeah.

He's playing it for his friends at school or just, yeah, this, my grandma says, this is my little rest. All the notes, baby. Have you heard of this new band, Death Leopard? It's not spelled the way you think it is. Yeah, it's neither word. drummer has one hand. It's nuts. Oh Yeah, it's a lot of like older stuff like 80s nice stuff nothing nothing made since the 2000s. Yeah Sure, I can agree I go through this music phase where I will find new music that I like and I will

I go through this music phase where I will find new music that I like and I will Exclusively listen to it until I hate it. I hate every sound that comes out of it Oh, like you like listen to that same song on repeat. Yeah, I'll be like this album is changing my life And I'm gonna let it do that for four days and I'm gonna listen to it 15 times and I'll never touch it again Because I can't hear it again I we had a Rekelle Lily out with us last week hang out and I love her music and I've been listening to it like crazy And I have I'm like cautiously letting myself listen to it I'm like no, I want to keep listening to this and we like Rachele when I keep working with Rachele

I can't like listen myself out of So you can burn out? Yeah, yeah No, I hear that. I don't ever listen. I feel like I don't want to let's hear the same song Over and over and over again. Yeah, I think it's a weird thing. Do you actually like put a song on repeat ever? Uh, I'll like, you know how you can like cute cute things on Spotify like pull it to the right or swipe right and I've never used Spotify. Also never use Apple music.

I don't really see the ease like what's going on? I got like I changed from here. I'm like Just got songs on my phone. I think you're like me This is nuts. I just bought songs when you bought music these guys. Can you imagine? I'm in music That's ridiculous. I'm actually gonna invest in a record player. I've been doing more vinyl stuff. Mm-hmm And so fucking dominant. I don't know why I'm doing it. But there's just something about owning that physical disc, you know? It's cool. It's fun. It's cool. And the most fragile inconvenient form possible?

Yeah, truly. I, fucking hate Valentine's Day, but I wanted to make it special because it's her first one. So I got that fucking thing and I paid like four times as much, it's worth. But it's good. It's good to be fair to the holiday. Why didn't you like Valentine's Day?

Because it's bullshit. It's invented by a commercial. So it's so bullshit, Blaine? Your birthday? Bullshit. That's what I've been saying for years. That's fine. Blaine's birthday is bullshit.

No, I mean,. That's fine. Blades birthdays both. That's not what I'm saying for years. That's fine. Blades birthdays both. That's fine. Blades birthdays both. That's fine. Blades birthdays both.

That's fine. Blades birthdays both. That's fine. Blades birthdays both. That's fine. Blades birthdays both. No, like, I mean, I don't know. Christmas.

There's like a sense of tradition or, you know, Hanukkah, that's your thing. There's years generations that people have been celebrating that. Like, Valentine's, I don't feel start saying a Valentine's Day of Old? We've really gotten away from roots in this tradition. Christmas. When how will Christmas invent it?

Christmas invented? Year zero. Zero eight. They didn't start celebrating it at the year one, though. Around the year, 336. I had to look it up also. For Christmas? Wasn't some like pagan shit? Is that one hallmark started as well?

I started celebrating in 330 so they didn't celebrate Jesus While I was knocking about Christian festival until the ninth century Mm-hmm. Well ninth. Okay. When if they were all just kind of bummed that here They're like nothing's really going on. Let's get something going It's the one thing that makes like December in the winter. Well, and the Lexus December. The night's in. That too.

We can't. We just said 300. 300 is when it started. The ninth century is when it became prominent, a prominent Christian festival. Oh, that's when that's when Northman takes place. The earliest surviving Valentine's in English appeared to be written in 1477. 1477. 1477.

By the Cod companies by Marjorie Bruce to her future husband, John Pastin. I would go back in time and I well beloved Valentine. No, I'd kill her. And then I make a stop in the 1915 Valentine's Day is mentioned roofily by Ophelia and William Shakespeare's hamlet in from the year 1600. I'm just adding a Historic hit list people out in time travel back in time. I'm a Cillifictional character from hamlet is Shakespeare on that. No, but his Shakespeare is It's gone. You'd knock out Shakespeare. No The room full of men who collectively are known as Shakespeare like the Banksy of the 1600

What? I blow your mind. What you say the Banksy of the 16th? Oh, he as Shakespeare? Like the Banksy of the 1600s. What? Did I blow your mind? What did you say? The Banksy of the 1600s. Oh, he, wow, yeah. Interesting. Wait, so do we know who Banksy is? Is he the face? No.

I thought it was the guy from Massive Attack. What? It's me. Is he a Yolvaxie? Yolvaxie. Can you make me some money, then? He got the pull stuff down. It's like a spray painted child on the wall behind us.

My greatest work of art The company I Fourteen years of podcasting The art is one big Banksy fraudulent now sell it to Elon Musk for $41 billion. Isn't he based out of like England's no He's not Austin he moved here Throw my coffee mug at your head. Yeah, Banksy's English, I think. Yeah, because this is where most of your shit is, I think. Do you imagine like what a jackpot it must be

for your shitty, failing cafe on the corner of some asshole town suddenly has a Banksy and then you get to fucking excavate that wall and then like sell it for whatever. Like, isn't that how that works? And then it's, or you can appreciate the art forever. Yeah.

But it's not gonna say, you live in Austin where all of our great art is constantly painted over by jackasses. Isn't that kind of the point of street art? Are you trying to like get all? I'm just saying, like if art is for a public consumption on the street, who really owns it?

Like, if you leave it there, is it not fair game for someone else to put other art? Who is the person who puts more value on one piece of art versus another? I guess what I'm saying though, and I know this is all subjective, or objective subjective. Subjective. Yes.

Is like, if I were to spend hours painting the fucking Rooster Teeth logo on this wall, and then somebody it just travels like, mashed potato or something, you know, like, you know, the taggers. You're tagging travels like mashed potato or something like the other taggers. You know the name mashed potato. Like you're like fuck, you know?

Like that's art and then you got like some dipshit right in his little initials. I think yeah, you're right. There's definitely like tears, right? Like we're like just tagging versus actually making something but in the end it's like if it's on a wall, like if the original piece was also uncommissioned and is just graffiti, like what's differentiated graffiti from street art in like the

example you're giving? I don't think there is really a decision. You woke up after a heavy night of drinking and someone tattooed twat on your forehead, but it was Banksy, would you be happy or sad? I'd be pretty fucking pissed. I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would be, I would to like take that off surgically and then get skin grafts to replace it would like offset the cost of what you know Like it would be like I would sell it for equal for what the surgery is. I think you can make some good money You just put your head through a hole in an odd gallery once a week. Yeah, you'll make killing Keep my head just like sticking out like a moose or whatever and just that that seems like an almost foolproof modern art concept You've just kind of what's existence. Yeah, just putting art on your face and putting it through a wall of the modern art.

I fucking that, I could see that. And you could tell prints, like you put your face on a coffee machine and just like Xerox it. You could make another similar sized hole next yours and people could put their face through it and they could get a picture taken with you. I, like, right now the set is warm and un-air conditioned

and I'm feeling sweaty. This is the exact feeling I have whenever I walk through a modern art museum. Modern art pisses me off so bad. I've only been like, you know when art strikes you and you're just like in awe of something that's only happened to me with one modern art piece.

I think it was in London, your hometown. I don't know if you're from there. It was just this tower of electronics and as you moved around it, like you could hear different wavelengths and it had like radios and all these things. It was the this tower of electronics. And as you moved around it, like you could hear different wavelengths and it had like radios and all these things. And it was the most beautiful thing, but other than that, I was just like,

this fucking sucks. Why do I waste my fucking $10? This fucking sucks. Modern art sucks. But you really liked one piece. That wasn't worth the $10. 10 quid. Like, God, you and me are the same money,

you wasted your time. No, because right before I went in, there was a place that had high-help re-elper reviews. And it was like, this is a great place. If you're stopping by the museum, it was a terrorist trap. And they took like a lot of money from me because they were like, Oh, yeah, it's for tip or whatever. And I was like, you guys don't do that here. I don't know. I got into the fight with the guy. And he was just like, yeah, it's just shitty. It's like, Chef, we're already. Yeah.

We talked about this a couple of weeks ago in the podcast, which see that art installation that's like that robotic arm that leaks hydraulic fluid. Oh, yeah. And it recollects the hydraulic fluid itself. Right. And like when they first installed it, the leak wasn't that bad, so it had time to do like

a happy dance. But then as the years went on, the leak got worse and bad, so it had time to do like a happy dance, but then as the years went on, the leak got worse and worse, so it had no time, other than to like phonetically try to replace its hydraulic fluid, until eventually the leak overwhelmed it, and it seized up and stopped working.

They had like a timeline to it? Yeah, it took a few years. There's not really doing that though. That's what I'm saying, is it pre-programmed? Or was it autonomous? I'm sure it was just on a timer there just like it's eventually it's just we can roughly estimate when it's gonna fail based on how much it's you probably could do that math. I think that was the whole point. Yeah. I don't know how like what level of autonomy it had probably just like this program to sweep the floor. Did it even

use hydraulic fluid? Squeegee. Yeah. I wouldn't it. What if it's hydraulic? Gavin and Blaine think it's all set up. It was. Yeah. We're all buying into the hallmark bullshit that was hydraulic arm. Let's just take what about the hydraulic days of your? Yeah, exactly.

Back in my day, hydraulic arms died of their own accord on their own timeline. I went time state at the, I think it was the Yotel, the New York City, and they had. Oh, that's a piece of shit. Yeah. It's a piece of shit. Because they have, in the front, this big display, and it's a robotic arm thing, you stick your piece of luggage in,

and then it just goes, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and they're like sticks in a cubby for you. And everyone's like taking video, oh, wow, wow, wow, it's just the stupidest shit. Then you get in your room and it's so tiny. And the bed is like a couch that folds out and then crushes all your shit against the wall.

And there's no room to move. Yep. I've walked past that place. When we did New York Comic-Con, the Yo-Tales kind of by the Javit Center. Or there's one by the Javit Center, I think, right? I would walk by it. That'll be $600, please.

Yeah. Something like that. Yeah, I remember staying in New York City for the first time on my own in college and thinking the $400 that I had spent on like a holiday in room was going to be well worth it. And then it was the smallest room I've ever been in my life. I was like, this money goes nowhere here, apparently. I get it now.

The first time we had an event in London, this would have been back like in 2004, I think. Like a few, this one you and I met for the first time. had an event in London, this would have been back like in 2004 I think. Like this one you and I met for the first time. No, October, before. Like I was trying to book a hotel for us to stay somewhere convenient in London. I'd never been, this was my first trip to London. I'd never been there before.

I was like, I don't know, I found like a Marriott. And it was like 800 bucks a night or something. I was like, and everything was super expensive. Like, what the fuck? 800 bucks for a merry hour. Like this is fucking ridiculous. Like this better be the nicest hotel in the world when I get there.

You get to the land in Heathrow, tell the cab driver where we're going. And he drives us there. And it's like, you see this hotel in every film that's ever set in London. It's the one that's like right at the base of the London Eye, right across from Big Ben and Parliament. Like, oh, that's why this is 800 bucks a night.

It's a Marriott, but it's like an old castle. He Marriott. It's like, oh, I've never been in London, but I have seen this building a thousand times in everything that's ever filmed in London. You forgot to map Quest, how close your Marriott was to the London eye. Yeah, just put the one in the eye. Yeah, I remember messaging Jason on the website.

And he was like, yeah, I'm all up by big band and shit. And he was like literally right up there. And he opened the window, it's like, oh, it's right there. You get mad because it's so loud. He was like, oh, big band's waking me up again. We did the Face Jam live show in Chicago, and I flew out there with the docky series that I was working on and

They put us in a really really nice hotel. Who's today? Events they booked all our travels and I was like dang guys. This is like we're pulling out all the bells and whistles And I came to find out that it's because the hotel had a partnership with the venue that we were staying at And we got the hotel room for like a quarter of the cost. Still very grateful, but I was definitely like, I felt really, like, tarnished in a little bit. I felt posh and like, really like overly cared for, cause no one's ever giving me a nice hotel room.

I'd be willing to bet that YouTube stayed in very nice places. Like what's the bougie's setup you've ever had? Like when you say yours was the Mariana in London? No, that's one of the most expensive, but I've definitely been in Boogey or Places. Yeah. And the Boogey is place I've ever been.

The, okay, the, I feel like it's bragging though. But I'm asking, I'm asking you to brag. You're not gonna be an asshole. You're an asshole because you support Elon Musk. I ain't gonna fucking take that back. No, I'm asking because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm in Gangnam, and it's like you open up the wind, like first of all, the bathroom has like this raw rock wall that was just like beautiful, and then you like open up the windows, and it's like the super iconic intersection in

soul with like all these people walking around, and like these, it's right across from the co-ex mall, and like this weird like super futuristic billboards, like the kind of billboards that look like they're coming out at you in the 3D style. Later on, yeah. It's real? Yeah, and it's like, obviously you have to be standing from a certain angle, really from any other angle. It doesn't do that.

But it's like, oh man, that was super cool and awesome. It was absolutely incredible. Yeah, I went to the, what was the lower third? I missed it. I see chat talking about it. Yeah, something Tesla thing. I went to the potk was the lower third I missed? I see chat talking about it. Yeah. Something Tesla thing. Oh. I went to the park higher in Tokyo, which was pretty nice.

I went with a... I mean, I was sharing it with Bernie, because we just had to have one night where we had to be there. So you do need to depreciate your value of this 50% of the amount of share these areas. But it was like, it was really nice hotel. The lobby's like on floor pretty low down, and then the lift is just like, it goes from like four to like 38 or something,

it's just like a big long travel. But you sit down and it's like you're buying a house together when you check it. It's like a little desk and. I've been to that hotel too, and I ran into someone who recognized me on the first floor. It was also staying in the same hotel. It was like the weirdest coincidence,

because it's, I don't know, it's like a very low traffic place. It's like it's an office building for like the first 35 floors. And then the hotel starts like on floor 36. Cause some sick views. Yeah, it's like if you ever watched Lost in Translation, like that's the hotel where they filmed in, like the bar that they hang out in. Oh, that's good. Like the lounge, sing, and all that stuff. It's like, you go, it's like, oh, like I've seen this in that movie. It's just cool to see like a real, the real version of, what am I saying, the set where they filmed something. We had a really nice hotel when they put us up in, for our TX London. It was nice in my opinion, by my standards.

It was like on the Isle of Dogs. And I remember I went in to the bathroom and I was like, there was just like red thing hanging from the ceiling and I didn't know what it was and I just happened to like pull it or I put clothes on it and it was like an emergency cord for a whole person to fell. And it started like as soon as I pulled it,

I didn't know what I had done and all these red lights started flashing and then I heard like someone sprinting down the hall and were you okay? And I was like, I didn't know what I had done and all these red lights started flashing and then I heard like someone sprinting down the hall. Were you okay? And I was like, I didn't know what that thing did, but I'm sorry. Can you reset it? That's how I got my life worked out every day. You just sprint two times.

Oh, that was just someone saying that you go up and then the lobbies don't like that. I was trying to think of my answer to this because I feel like I've been in a lot of nice hotels. I have been in a lot of nice hotels always to film there. And then I have to get in a shuttle bus and like to go back to our hotel. Hotel six. I've been like been out in LA and stuff and we've filmed stuff in hotel lobbies that are incredible. Like exactly what you'd see in a big blockbuster movie and they'd be like, all right, everyone back to your $75 a night red red roof, and enjoy your bedbugs, maggots.

I like to think that the person who's printed down the hall, it's someone who works and they just stand in a closet all day, waiting for someone to pull it. And it's like in the door bursts open and they go running down the hall to save someone. I remember that one too, because they, like when you go into a country,

they're like business or pleasure. And for some reason, someone had told me, like don't tell them business, tell them pleasure. And I was like, all right. And I asked the guy, the guy was like, hey, you know, he's a British, she's like, you hear for business or pleasure? And I was like, pleasure.

And he was like, cool. Oh, you have any friends at the Isle of Dogs? And I was like, no, my company put me there. He's like, I thought you're here for Dogs? And I was like, no, my company put me there. I thought you were here for pleasure. And I was like, I'm tired. Hi. I was like, trying to get into the country like,

what have I done? My company need, told me I needed to like take a chill and fill in my mouth. I was like, I don't know. My company booked it, but I, you know, I was just, just shit my pants right on the spot. Smooth.

Butta people are scary. Yeah. They can deny you entry into the country. Like, they're the final arbiter on that. Yeah, I'm glad I'm dumb with my visa because at the end of the day, it was like, just the discretion of the single person who I spoke to every time. I was like, that guy just doesn't like me.

He can just tell me to let piss off back home. I had a friend come and stay with me who he was telling me on his way out. He was like, yeah, I'm having a lot of trouble getting through security because my ID's kind of messed up. And he got to Austin, he managed to get through and he showed me his driver's license. His entire picture completely faded out. You cannot see who he is.

How does that happen? The ID is expired by several months and it can't be scanned because the back of it's faded. It's completely useless. He's a plastic. That must be a shitty wallet that he has. Oh, I think so. But also, they let him through. Or he had like...

It was at domestic flight. Yeah, but he had his insurance card. That didn't have a picture, just had his name on it. I've flown without ID. Yeah, really? But they give you a really hard time, probably, right? Yeah, I had like,

with a secondary screening, and there was some other way to verify who I was somehow Don't remember what yeah, it was a whole thing. It was really annoying. I haven't lived through that nightmare But god damn if you're ever like across Board your out of country or whatever like what I guess I shouldn't ask this kind of a private thing But do you have that paranoia with your passport, you know while you're out of country? You're like You know like yeah, I've never worried about that. I stress breathing. It's never worried about it.

It's like, whatever. It's fine. But to me, my passport is a comfort thing on an international flight because it's all you need, really. Like, if everyone's like, oh, no, I'm forgetting something, I just sometimes I'm just like, but all I really need is this.

And everything else, I can just replace. I feel like with me, it's because I'm a creature of habit, and my password's always like in the same pocket, in the same place. It's like, I know it's there. I only take it out to show it at the border, and then like, boom, right back in the same place. Like, there's no chance it's anywhere else.

It's like it's there right now. Yeah, it's absolutely there. It never moves. Yeah. I had the gun. Well, I like keep mine in a specific spot in my house that I know where it is because like, that way if I'm leaving the country,

there's a whole ceremony around. I need to acquire the passport. And I'll like make sure I'm going through the motions of I have acquired it. You know, I'm putting it in my pocket before I go to the airport because it's got for bitty to get to the airport. You know, you're fucking passport.

What if I just like, I'm not your bag with me? I think it's not as big a deal for me because it's just because of the way I grew up. I grew up on the border and at the time I grew up, you didn't need to show it crossing the border. Like I used to go to Mexico all the time and back to the US. It's like, I never needed it. It's times you're different though, guys. It's just like, but I spent years doing that.

Like, as a teenager, as a young adult, it's like, yeah, I'm gonna go to Mexico, do whatever, walk back, not a big deal. So it's like, it doesn't strike me. It's like, oh my god, what a nightmare if I lose this. I didn't have any, when I first moved to it, my passport was my only ID. So I had it on me all the time. I'd like to take it to bars.

It was in my pocket, completely naked. What do you do now if you wanna ask me? I have a green card. Oh, but that's just as scary, right? Like, you care that one? Well, technically, in a system, they can like look up at least or something. My green card?

Yeah. Because like if I lose my ID and say I got pulled over, I'm pretty sure they can just find me in the system. Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure. I'm sure it's not kind of a fun thing. But I think 10 of them supposed to have my green card on me. Gotcha. At all times.

Where is it? Yeah. Present it. Now. Right. We got him, boys. Moving. This is it.

We've been sitting him up. Oh, you do have it. I never mind. Okay. Oh, look at you. Oh, well. I had that scary moment. A couple, what, two months ago we flew out to LA

to do the fun house live show. And on the drive there, I was like, what would I do if I lost my wallet and everything on one of these work trips? I guess I'd just like use a company card or something like that. Thought nothing else of it. Get to LAX and mind you, I flew through the airport

with two huge pelicans with loaded with camera gear, like 100k worth of camera gear. So I'm freaking out about that the whole time. Standing at baggage clinic, waiting for my bag to come through, I touch my left pocket where my wallet always is and it's empty. And then I hear at the exact same moment over the Intercom Camden Pester, please return to the Delta counter or something like that.

And my heart rate must have tripled in that moment. It was terrible. It's so funny. I'm in it'm totally fine. I left it on the airplane like an idiot. But it was some good citizen returned it then. Yeah. I almost freaked out. I did freak out. I was about to be like, well, I guess I live in LA now. Because I don't have a job living in LA. These cameras are my only friends. Those cameras in Craigslist. Yes. Someone hire me. Ignore the rest of the teeth labels on all these cameras. Give me work. Yeah.

I've never, I guess I've never been through. I've never lost an ID on a trip. I've talked about this before. I lost my ID once the night before a flight, but that was like pre-2000, pre-September 11th. Why would it? It fell down the lift. Oh no, that's a different-2000, pre-September 11th. Is that what it fell down the lift? No, oh no, that's a different story. It was like the day after my birthday.

It was my 22nd birthday. I went out downtown Austin, got really drunk, had to fly for work the next morning, and then realized when I got to the airport, I left my ID at a bar. But it was like, since it was before September 11th, you're like, hey, it's me. I'm supposed to be on the plane, can you let me on?

They're like, yeah, come on over. The guy's like, over. It's like, you're going to go on the plane. Yeah, like, hey, it's me. I'm just looking at the plane, he let me on, they'd like, come on over. I'm going over. It's you, I'm going over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Different times. It's that paper. It's from the movie Benchwarmer.

It's just a piece of paper with I am 11 on it. It's something that $20 bill. Me, I'm guess. Sure. Let me on there. I'm supposed to be on there. It's so funny how travel is so different. I remember when I came over here for a summer,

I was like flying to different cities to set up booths and stuff. And you gave me a phone that must of cost like 20 bucks. It's like this big, I remember old like T9 phone. I lost the charger like two weeks into my three month trip and it lost it the entire trip. Holy shit. I just used to like turn it off.

And when I was in New Zealand, I would turn it on and use it for a bit if I needed to cool guys. I was like, hey, it lasted like three months before. And then it's like, we didn't have a screen or anything right? It's like a display. I had a screen. Yeah, it's a screen but it was like,

it wasn't a smartphone or anything. Yeah. It was like a completely different time. It's like now a phone will die in a day. Do you think it's still charged somewhere? It might be. I don't know, I did it. I probably gave it back.

The half life of this phone is 500 years or something. Would you ever consider going back to a dumb phone, like Nokia? Or did you just, you just die here? Well, I don't use the phone bit. It's the camera bit. What's everything else? Yeah.

It's the texty, well. Like, if it's still a texting and calling capabilities, could you go back to dumb fun? No. Sure. No. Yes? Yesterday, slight tangent, slightly related. We went and got popsicles right at this popsicle truck over by us.

And I was waiting for you. But I was going to get popsicles. There's a camera I are neighbors. And we do. This truck pulled up to, yeah, there's anyway. We go and get popsicles. And we had this whole thing planned for the day. And it's like 10 minutes past when we were supposed

to go meet up. And my fiance, Cedar, was like, just call Blaine and see where he is. And I was like, I'm not gonna call him. Are you crazy? Makes me uncomfortable. She was like, why wouldn't she just call him? I'm like, I call Blaine and see where he is. And it was like, I'm not gonna call him. Are you crazy? It makes me uncomfortable. She was like, why wouldn't she just call him? I'm like, I would hate that.

He would hate me. We would never talk again after we were. Who's the last person I know that I've called him? If you get a call from someone without a text being like, hey, go to me. It's like, someone's died. Yeah, someone's dead. I accidentally called my brother,

like a week ago, and I was like, I'm so sorry. I've known you my entire life I'm really sorry about this all all playing up now like John called me On April 7th. Did you see me? Well, he why if he called me I think I'm getting fired. I don't I don't remember April 7th. What were you doing? Oh, I think I was trying to get a hold of him because we were in the process of moving from the other place to here. And I was like taking some boxes. That's probably what that was.

Sometimes I'll have like minor work emergencies and I'll call John. And I like, I know for a fact, John, well, John's got two phones. He does. I'm pretty sure he's a drug dealer because one of those is a burner. But like, we'll be in a recording and then like one of his two or three phones. He does. I'm pretty sure he's a drug dealer because one of those is a burner. But like, we'll be in a recording

and then like one of his two or three phones will go off. He's just like, he's got a tablet. That's not a kind of a small one. And then a big phone and then like a normal sized phone. So I don't know, but. How big is the smallest phone? They're all big. It's bigger than my eyes.

They're all smart phones. Why'd they have two phones? Well, he has like his personal one, that's his, but then he has a separate one for filming things and that's logged into social media accounts for work. But that one I think was also he had gotten it through like some deal. It was like, yeah.

Because he can put two sims in the same. I think his personal phone is older and the newer phone has like a better camera and stuff. Personal phone also has, no, he plays Pokemon Go on both of them. But then I think he has one prime account that he trades the Pokemon onto that one. There's some reason, I don't know.

Okay, it's weird. Anyways, I still have like that, I have the time. Did you lose your phone? I still do, I really did. I lost a lot of other it is in my ass. I have the little baby iPhone. I'm like, I'm going backwards. I don't like that I have the time to lose your phone. I have the little baby iPhone. I like I'm going backwards I don't like big phones. I want the small ones so I'm like this is the small it's the iPod I think people didn't like those what the minis just call an ipod iPhone 12 minute

Why would I would know and like this is great? I think like they had to cut their production I think they're not gonna make them anymore mother fuckerer! This is... Yeah, and like nobody bought them. Now there's three times these bigs. I don't want a big phone. I like small. I always wanted, I never wanted the max version of phones until I held your max. Like two years ago, like when they first came out the max you bought one. I was like, this seems stupid and I held it and I was like, that's when I held yours, it clicked and he was like, oh I have big hands.

And I was like, this is the phone for me. I never knew it until I held it. I was like, I can just f- It's from FITS. I don't particularly like using a big phone, but for watch, I watch so much stuff in my phone that it's just, it might as well be the biggest screen for a phone that I can get.

God dammit. I made, you know, for some reason, the pockets on men's pants are much bigger than the pockets that they make on women's pants. And the other day, I have like an iPad mini. And I was walking around my house, and I turned to her and I said, hey, watch this. And I took the iPad mini and just put it straight into my blue jeans pockets. And it fit just fine. And she's like, what the fuck, how can you fit

an entire iPad in there? It's just, we did a tick-talk about that. It's like, it's bigger than that. Yeah, it's just, it went just straight in. I love the confidence of you walking around with that in the first wall you bump into. Just shatter it. Glass in your thigh.

It's so convenient. I wish Tech lost it so much longer. Like I feel like a current phone, if you use it for a year, the battery doesn't last a day. You know, we use such a pain to replace. Mine's what, it's what, five, and it's already at eight percent.

Like it's barely hold on. Eight percent. Wow. We shoot almost every single STF social video on my phone, and I don't know, this is, I think that scientists need to work test this phone because it has not slowed down a beat. Really? I mean, we have put thousands of gigs of video

onto that thing and dumped it off and put it back on. It's a good little workhorse. So I completely disagree with you guys, and I think that tech is great right now. Really? No, I know. I think everything else is.

You can check your battery health. This is like my hippie-dippy rant. I feel like humans should only have had one car. Like you get a lot of a car, and then you get to upgrade and change that car, but that's just your one car. Because I feel like, like you ever just look around

and see how many fucking cars there are. Cars don't last. Eventually you get to a point where it costs more to maintain the car than to get a new one Yeah, but like you just it's interchangeable parts because it's all one car So then if it's something really in it you just swap what one car on the market the Jeep one car for everything Land what's everyone doing Gibson communist? Yeah No, no, it would work and they would cause a lot less waste. I love it. What kind of car would it be? It would be a Jeep obviously.

A Jeep, right? Yeah, interesting. Wow, what a crazy, weird, I'm shocking. No, no, no, it would be something like, I don't know, fucking, for focus. No, no, the base model, and it would look real, it would look real simple and block. Oh, like the ID buzz.

But big, everyone gets an ID buzz. But you get an ID buzz. But then you get to bake it bigger. You get to change it. They came out with a phone concept not long ago where they're like, you bake your own phone and then you just, you add in RAM as technology. Who made that?

Some sort of company. Would you buy a Jeep if they decided you shouldn't open the car up? What does that mean? Well, this car's, I think it's like an electric Mercedes or something, whereas the user can't open it. User can't open it. Like repair it?

That's like the car can't open the tree. That's true, electric cars, you can't service those yourself for, I mean, there's like minor servers you can do with it. Do you put the windshield washer fluid in? Yeah, you can do the tiny little things, but if your motor starts going in, electric servers you can do with it. But the windshield washer fluid in. Yeah, you can do like the tiny little things, but like if your motor starts going in a electric car, don't play with it, because you kill yourself.

Yeah, I don't care. But just the idea of like the people who make it, even though you bought it, say, don't open it. It's like, it itself. And it's like, right to repair, isn't that the? Yeah, right, Russian. But I own like a, you know, I remember being a kid and owning a PlayStation 2

and be like, I could clean up the fan, but I will break a, you know, I remember being a kid and owning a PlayStation 2 and be like, I could clean up the fan, but I will break the void, or avoid, I'm having a stroke. I would void the warranty. Yeah. I got there. Thank you. Writer, director, Blankybson.

And that, I mean, that's the same thing, right? You just void the warranty. Sort of, yeah. Yeah, I guess that's the... I think there's like a lot of stuff in place now that like is more of stuff in place now that like Is more of a deterrent to open it like it'll break the thing if you open it One break it through software. I don't know what I'm looking at half the time

I think there was because I was looking through some I like looking at what everyone's annoyed about when it comes to right to repair because I feel like if you own the thing You do what how you want if I want to so it in half let me do it, but there's like a to right to repair. Cause I feel like if you own the thing, you should do what the hell you want. If I want to saw it in half, let me do it. But there's like, right to destroy. Right to destroy. That I think there was a printer or something or a brand type of printer where if the ink got low

or empty. Oh, it just wouldn't let you print. The scanner doesn't work. Yeah. It's like that, it's just through software. It's like, well, you got to replace the ink before you do anything else. It's like, but I want to scan though. Well, there's also the ones where like just very soft for us. Like, well, you gotta replace the ink before you do anything else. It's like, but I wanna scan though.

Well, there's also the ones where, like, if your color ink runs out, it won't let you print black and white. Oh, that shit. I don't need that. We need to be able to have backups in our stuff. We need to be like, oh, you know, this doesn't work. Well, at least I can do this with it.

And you never know what you're gonna come up against. Or you can't get in soft, eventually down the road when they stop making ink for that printer. Yeah. It's like, oh, it's not even a scanner anymore. You can't even do that. We got to keep, we got to have dumb again.

Can you open up your little ink cartridges, put some like water in them, or something like that, and be like, see, it's all fine, work now. Oh. How does it know I said that? It's like putting water in your radiator, or something to work for now. Blaine, I like, I love that you like repairing your Jeep

and you like talking about repairing your Jeep. And every time you repair something on your Jeep, it starts, there's always like, say you have to replace the bumper, there's two repair stores, there's the first time you tried to do it, and it all went wrong, like the lock, right, on your door. And then, I feel like the first time you try to repair,

you're like, I learned a lot, and then it worked the second time. It's just the duality of blame, I guess, where it feels like, it's like getting into woodworking to make your own table, you end up spending three times in the action twice as long. Yeah, but I walk away with the knowledge and knowing how to do it.

Like I could fix and replace the, down to the tumblers and all that stuff. Like I know exactly what is happening when my key enters into both the ignition and the door lock. Yeah, it makes me happy. And it also like helps me like in the future. Like if someone else has that problem on there. I'm gonna go through.

Let me fix that for you. I've recently, I don't know why. I've recently gotten into like making beans at home. Beans? Beans? Like growing them or? No, like cooking them. And like whenever I cook.

That's just cooking. Yeah, whenever I cook. But like it takes a long time. Like growing them or? No, like cooking them. And like whenever I cook, that's just cooking them. Right, whenever I cook, but like it takes a long time, like beans take forever. And whenever I cook beans, I'm sorry, what part of the bean phase, the cooking, are you drawing beans out and then like,

have you ever cooked dried beans? It takes like 11 hours. Seriously, like, you get like the dried beans in the bag, like with rice. Oh, have you ever done a whole and cooked them in that? No, have you? Yes. Why?

Why? It's a similar thing where it ends up costing way more. Yeah. I couldn't buy beans at a restaurant for like 99 cents for a pint of it or whatever. It's like, no, I'm going to spend like five bucks making a cart. Why is everyone willing to go the extra mile on beans? Because this like you make it exactly how you want. All the right taste.

How do you, how? I had a lot of new beans so specific. I had a realization when I was making beans. Yeah, they're like when I bought a bag of beans for the first time and like I was I was washing them and I used to make beans all the time. It was something I do with a little boy. Like my grandmother would have me like wash the beans and I go through them. And I used to make beans all the time. It was something I'd do with us a little boy. My grandmother would have me wash the beans.

And I'd go through them and look for rocks to take out the rocks because she would buy them in bulk. And then she told me when I was a little kid, any of the broken beans, you have to throw them away because they're poisonous. So I'm rinsing the beans. And I'm going through, I've got to take all these broken beans out because my grandmother was just giving me

a busy work, wasn't she? Oh, I was like broken beans out because they're, oh my god, my grandmother was just giving me a busy walk, wasn't she? Oh, I was like broken beans, our poison. As a kid, you're like, just having me do that to keep me busy, as a make sure I was pulling the rocks out. As a kid, you're like, yeah, this bean had so much arsenic in it, it burst into, I have to get rid of it. Just like, how much shit like that have you gone through

as a child and you don't realize it? Some adult told you something and you took it so Seriously and you haven't thought about it in decades. Did you just pay it for it? Like a st Can you get the point this beats? Well, Esther was like what do you do is like I'm taking that's what happens I'm taking all the broken pieces out because they're boys in the I don't I don't know what I'm doing There's a lot of do with like masturbation was one of them

There's a bunch of like fake shit to stop you from masturbating. And then I think I want some of my mom and want me to eat, because she's caught me eating on the toilet one time. And she's... The poo particles in the air. I gotta be careful, right?

I don't know. She just didn't like it. I mean, I would be very concerned. I guess. Guess, can you share your bean recipe? I'm still working on it. I will as soon as it's perfected. He's looking for the perfect tone when he farts.

It's just gotta be like, it's just, doing your eating on the toilet. Did it feel like, well, this is all there is. Like, this is life, like, this is just in and out. That's in and out. That's the food chain right there. Did you try and file one out for every bite you took? So it's like straight down.

Oh. I just finished editing the Beanhole video today. Full, the full Beanhole. What does it mean, what's the Beanhole mean? We at Jeff and I, it's a fuckface. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Barryson Beans, a couple weeks ago. Okay. What? Well, I wasn't great. Oh, okay, okay. Huh. So I have trouble believing that it didn't go great just burying beans.

They weren't just loose beans and duh. We had like a pot and... Okay. Yeah. It was so close. Eric had some beans. Oh, I had... Just close to greatness.

It really, you had some almost well-cooked beans. Gavin had like seconds. Emily's that had like four health things and beans on your cooked beans. They were edible. Beans need a lot of water and a lot of salt. That's what I've discovered in my, in my brief forage to be used. I should have been so into you when we did the bino. It was weird.

How much shit I remembered from being a little kid helping my grandmother make beans, like the poisonous beans. I was like, oh, I actually know how to do this. Like getting all the shit I needed putting it all the way. I was like, I can do this. It's actually really easy. It just takes a long time. You all laughed at me.

It takes a fucking long time. I can't wait for God. I started some beans. I started some beans on the slow cooker this morning before it came into work. You have a beans today? It'll be ready when I get home. Aw, nice.

Esther's like, not again. He just looks like Shitty. He just looks like Shitty. He just looks like Shitty. This time I put a little more cumin. Come on. It is kind of warming here, isn't it? Can you make beans and bring them into the office, Chris?

Yeah. Love to try your beans. Oh, can we have beans next week? We need to make steaks. Now listen to us. We're like Gus. Can we have beans? Did we forget to do a steak off the last three years? I think we couldn't because of COVID protocols But I think why don't we have that's done now? It's in the past. Yeah Why don't we have steak and beans?

We have 700 I just realized podcast 700s in two weeks right before the show started. I was like oh shit This is 698. What was the last steak off? It was in 2019. It was a little bit. Was that, it was May 2019. Yeah. What was the year where I put a big Mac in the steak? It was that year.

Was that that one? It must have been. It's been over three years. It's been over three years since that happened. Wow. Huh, let's do a steak off. Are you still the same man that would put a big mac in a steak? I put something else in a steak, bro.

Okay, okay. All right. But I don't wanna make steak. What the, my steak was lousy. You just said let's do steak off. Yeah, but let's get other people. He means he wants to eat steak. That's why I don't like doing it.

Because it means I'm gonna make steak. Classic steak off was Gus and Bernie doing it. Gus is still here. Gus can make a steak great Now I just fucking got work for myself. Thanks make I've been trying to make a career out of doing those little Workings you doing that for fun. Get me a big beans and a steak all right forget the steak. Let's just We're doing a bean off. I think we should do the bean off 2022 episode 700. It's 12 and a half hours long Beans have to stop something. I never, you ever go to what would you or what would the English version of a chili cookoff be?

Did you guys ever have those anything like that? Bakeoff. Bakeoff. Bakeoff. Like the great British bakeoff. Yeah, sure. Did you ever go to those like we live in Texas? We had a chili cookoff at the office,

right before it was like the same like a month before COVID happened. Really? Yeah, we're doing your own cookoff. It was really good. I didn't go to that. I don't think that was an official food event. Andre from post made like the best vegan chili

I've ever had. Shout out to Andre, fat black. Yeah, that shit was awesome. I remember like distinctly Anderson Elementary, you just go around, everyone had their crock pots filled with chili and you just go around and just like a little couple of beans. And you judge, this is my favorite beans. Oh, it's the best.

It's the best. It's the best. Yeah. Well, it's so, he's chili, but I like the ones, beans. Sorry, Gavin. If we do a bean, well, you already told him, his needs were purchased. If we do a bean, well, you're already talking. This needs to apologize. If we do a bean off, I'll participate.

Okay. What's that mean? I'll make it. What is... What do you... Have you made beans before? No. Okay.

And that's really made a step before. When you say I'll participate, you're just sort of guessing at what it takes to make beans. Spoiler alert, he's gonna get a can of van camps and then call it a day. I'm gonna push him beans in a big Mac. One. The bean Mac.

We'll figure it out. We're figuring it out live. No promises, but I'm gonna go to the store. But this is gonna be really, what an episode. Okay, we'll figure out the bean off. I think Bobbys should make beans too. Okay. It's not here to go.

We'll ask her. Are we volunteering her for beans? Yeah, okay. I don't mean to get like gross, but there is a bean at HB. It's black beans with jalapeno bits. And those things, I remember not being able to sleep because I had the most rancid fucking farts. Like, I remember on the verge of tears, because I could G-MOS Rancid fucking farts. Like, I remember, like, on the verge of tears,

because I could not sleep, because of my own fucking- And they would not stop coming. I was like, I thought you started this. There is a bean at H-E-B. There's a can of beans. A typhoon who makes it? Is that an H-E-B brand?

It's not like Goy or anything. I think it is, it's either the Valley, whatever, like it's like one of their own home brands, I'm pretty sure. What do we do this? You have a couple of cans of them. We'll put you in a coffin. No, we put Gavin back in the coffin. I'm playing Fodden by the air.

No, I'm not. Is it the HB Black Beans with Lyman, Hallipenio? Yeah, let me see. Do you have the picture? I'm pulling it up right now. H.E. beans. It's gonna make me shit my pants just looking at it. That's the one.

Oh, bro. I fucking saw it. What? Nine to two. No, because for a while, like a while ago, all I ate every night for dinner, this is when I was like the most ripped I've ever been, was a half pound of ground beef,

Yes. Like a bait. No, no, no. Refried's good. Yeah, you essentially take those pinto beans and then, you fry them up again. You put a bunch of lard in a pan and you mush those beans up. Oh, lard.

Yeah, they're good for you, too. L. It's so good. Are they really? No? There worse for you than the magic farting beans that you accidentally ate I've been making These are dominated by the way beans are wiping the floor.

And it's the same thing as like a barbecue bean, but it's like, it's not. Is a big white bean? Yeah. What is that? What is that? It's just a white bean. Is there a kind of bean? What's the name?

Navy bean. No. What? No, he says. The Navy has not been around longer than these beans. I don't think so. Are they headed that? How do they?

Before beans. How do you know that? What do you mean? They started calling them navy beans because in the like when the US Navy was feeding their troops They give you know they call it a Navy because these beans are found in the ocean. Shut the fuck up Stop doing this to me stop doing this to me Why are they called Pokemon if the pokeball was invented after the moon? No, why would they be called pocket monsters before they could fit in someone's pocket?

Good point. Okay, well that's a video game. This is real life. But the name Navy Bean is an American term coined because the US Navy has served the beans as a staple to its sailors in some way. I just told you, I don't care. What's the name of the Navy Bean, though? You just repeated the same words back to me, but from what you said, I don't want to

know the name. I don't know the name. White Peabind. Heracot. Pearl Heracot Bean. Boston Bean. White Peabind. Peabind. But for what you know, I don't know the name white pee Harry caught Pearl Harry caught bean Boston bean white pee bean Peabee no suck on a Boston bean doesn't work beans were around before Boston. Why is the biggest bean? Mr. I think Kidney read kidney the being oh, it's that bean in Chicago. The big mirror bean. That one. What is that thing called? The one that Eric stared up into and it sent him to hell.

Oh my god. Did you not like being nice to that? Oh, it's that one. I went in like the middle of it. We were like taking pictures and I looked up at like the bot. And I like went to another, it was like taking DMT. It was like, I just went like somewhere else and I didn't feel good and hurt my eyes.

It like, I mean, it gave me like chameleon eyes where they went. I was like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I like went to another is like taking DMT. It was like I just went like somewhere else and I didn't feel good and hurt my eyes. It like, it gave me like chameleon eyes where they went like different directions. It like made me sick. Was it just like the visual like, it's the angle of it and just standing,

it just felt very weird. It felt like it was gonna like reach out and grab me a annihilation style. Cool. It's super dark underneath it because you're under a big metal object, but you can see the reflection of like the over, you know, blown out city already. Because it's like bouncing reflection.

Yeah, it's quite, if you go watch the behind the scenes of the Face Jam live show, you can watch Eric and Michael basically have seizures staring up into the bean. Cool. Yeah, well worth it. I, um, this is not being related. I just don't know. I don't want to talk about it. I'm ready.

I, uh, I have like a conspiracy theory. Oh, yes. I, I, I do any of you ever go through and check your spam email? Yes. How much time do you have? Well, it's not about time. It's about how much anxiety you have that you just missed something that got sent to spam. I do. Well, I started going through it recently because I realized, for some reason, some people would send me calendar invites,

and like the invite would show up on my calendar, but the actual email notification was going to spam for some reason. However, so like I've been trying to be a little more diligent about checking my spam folder and marking stuff not spam. I went through my spam folder the other day, and I found an email that looked like a total 100% scam. It was like, you are invited to participate in a class action lawsuit against whatever. This is this company. I was like, oh, this is a scam. So I googled it.

I was like, oh no, this is actually a real lawsuit. And so I was like, I'm not going to click on any links in this email. I googled it, and it was like, this is the website for the class action lawsuit settlement. I was like, oh, that's the on any links in this email. I googled it and it was like, this is the website for the class action lawsuit settlement. I was like, oh, that's the website that says in the email, then in the email it's like, this is your claim ID and this is your, you know, whatever,

your number you need to put in the website. So I typed those numbers in to the website I found independently. It was like, and it pulled up all of my information. I was like, that was a real like class action lawsuit settlement notification that I bet they intentionally tried to make it look like spam. So that people wouldn't claim it. So that's more money for the lawyers in the end. We're also came from the lawyers. Well, it comes from like the settlement company. Yeah. And if the money goes unclaimed, then you know, any money that's

left over goes to legal. So then they make it sketch looking. Right. So not enough people claim it. So then well, so not enough people claim it. So then, well, then if less people claim it, then that means that like the people that do claim it, they get more, oh, that's, you know, when I get my money. I was gonna say, yeah, how much do you get you? Well, I haven't gotten any, I haven't gotten any, this was just last week, I just filled it out.

Okay, so. Guess it's like Revan is hands-y, he's like, I've beat the system, then he gets a check for like 80 cents. Right. This is being money. Right. So, he's looking at his 10 gallon pot of beans and thinking, this is going right back into you, I'm getting a whole being not even split in half this one.

Are those normally scams, those emails? I think a lot of times they are. It's like because it's an easy way to get you to type in information, our name, birthday. Sometimes I get people reaching out to my work, like my business private, whatever email, and they'll be like, hey, I work for this company, you know, you have a following, do you wanna do this kind of shit?

We'll see you some free stuff. You gotta get it out. And I'm like, oh, okay, sure, it's fun and I get free bullshit. DPS, like the department of, what it would know, is the text department of transportation? What was that? T-DOT.

Yeah. The people who make the roads? No. Text-OT? I know what I'm saying. I know what he's talking about. I don't know. Anyways, they're like, hey, we're running this campaign.

Whoever they are, the driving people, about, yeah, those guys, that we know we're trying to stop drinking and driving and we know we wanted to reach out to see if you'd participate. Oh, yeah, of course, you know course. I love to and stuff like that. But then they asked, hey, you've got to send us your driver's license and your address and all this very personal information. Why? Because according to them, they want to check that I don't have a DIY or drinking driving anything under my record.

You didn't get it. And that's like, that's like, no. They've reached out twice and I feel like every time they asked that point, I always like just like I just stopped responding. Don't drink and drive. That's a free one. Texas Department of Transportation. DPS.

What? As you said, DPS. What do they mean? You didn't know what it was. You keep seeing Department of Transportation. Do you think Department of Transportation is DPS? What do they mean? You didn't know what it was. You keep seeing Department of Transportation. Do you think Department of Transportation is DPS? What is DPS? Department of Public Safety.

It's the DPS. DPS, there you go. DPS, that one's for free, don't drink and drive. But yeah, I'm not gonna give you my insurance. Don't drink and drive, that'll be $500. I won't sell out. Yeah, I feel like if someone contacts you, then just don't give any information.

That's why I went. Okay, fake information. Like when I saw it, I went to the website, put the info in, and then it loaded my information. I was like, okay, they already have it. They're not making me type anything in. But yeah, that's the same thing. Wait, fuck, did I send them my information?

Oh, no. Sorry, you know, when you think about something, like, wait, did I do the thing that I thought I didn't do? You know? You're like, yeah, here's my Jarvis Layton's number and my address. You need my social security. What about my mom's name and the street I grew up on just for a good measure? You didn't ask for a pet's name to my debit card as well, just in case.

I was expecting a cool the other day for, I don't know, for work or something. So I answered my phone, I never answered my phone. But it was a scam call, like an Indian call center scam call. But I just thought, I was like, ah, you know, I like those scam bait of video. So I was just, I'll just string them along waste some time for a bit. I was just chatting to, and eventually he knew

I was wasting his time because he asked me for, I think my insurance Card number I think it was like a CBS. Yeah, mm-hmm. So it's like yeah, you ready? One two Three I got to like four and he was like do you have the card in your hand? And I was like yeah, he goes shove it up your ass He was checking it. It was a man. I love when they get mad because it's like Please I'm trying to scam people. You're wasting my time. I remember once years ago,

when we were still in the apartment down in Buda, Jeff used to run the store, and he was trying to, I don't know what it was specifically, we'll have him on the podcast next week, I'll ask him. He was trying to order something for the store. It was like, shirt blanks or something, and he was on the phone with the manufacturers,

like yeah, he's trying to place the order. And I could only hear Jeff's part of the conversation. And he was like, yeah, we're a small company. I don't have a PO order, like a PO number for you. It's just, I'm just placing the order right now. No, no, I don't have a PO number for you. It's just me, I'm just placing the order right now. I don't have a PO number.

Okay, fine. Ready? Seven, three, five, eight. He just went, I said like this 16 digit long number. He's like, that's the PO number. One, it's just one, set it to one, I don't care. It's weird when it's like, you don't have that. It's like someone's trying to make you work

into their system. It's just, it just doesn't fucking exist. It's so frustrating. I don't think I fold up with them. I'm checking. And each time it did drop off, because I was like, why do you need this? And they're like, because our client wants to check

that you are not a near-sponsible driver and then they stop responding. So they must think that I'm a near-sponsible driver. Yeah, definitely. So how long do they take you to get the card in there? I had to fold it to get it out there. But I could out there at the end. Yeah, I think those like scam baiting videos are entertained,

but I never have the pay. I don't want to do that. I mean, I wouldn't seek it out. But I was like, well, you know, while I'm on the phone, I never answer the phone. So I thought, nah. I watched Jessica Vesami do it in person in live action office once. She thought someone was scam calling her for like the third day in a row.

And she so she was just like she started pretending to panic. And she talked to them for a while and she's like, I'm so sorry. My dad is actually a field marshal worse for the FBI. I'm going to, can I bring him into the phone call as well? And the person was like, um, let me get my supervisor and they're like shut down. Like two minutes later that they come back and they're like, my supervisor's on the line. Who did you need to bring into the call and then it ended there.

But it was, it was about 30 minutes of, that's good. Incredible time wasting. I don't give a time today. I think typically I just yell fuck off in the night. Hang up. I'm just so tired of it. And they're probably like, gladly. Hey, my job. So did you just answer a strange number? Typically, I'll just hang up. But if it's like a five one, two, I will. And then if they're like, you know, whatever their fucking spiel is, I'll just, yeah. Yeah, usually it's only from expecting the call.

Like if there's a window, like you said, like I'm expecting a call, I don't know what numbers can come from, I'll be answering right then. But otherwise, no. The new one that I didn't think I'd ever have to deal with that I'm now dealing with, since I bought my house, people are offering to buy my house. And they're acting like, like the whole process of buying a house is just fucking Reelder's always trying to like get your money and it's just really obnoxious

and they're just terrible most of the time. I'm not saying all Reelder's are bad, but yeah, those are the guys that I constantly get the fucking calls from. And they always, the best part about it is none of them has said my name right once. It's Dwayne, it's Blake, it's Brian. It's like, do you ever get this one?

I get this one, I feel like often enough to where it's a pattern, or I'll get a phone call and they'll leave a message. And it's like, hey, this is so-and-so with whatever asphalt company. We're going to be doing some work in your area. If you got, you know, wherever you'd be out there with a crew, if you got any work you want us to do, let us know it gives us a call at this number. It's like, what? No, fuck off.

There's, I know No, fuck off. I know there's no work. None of my neighbors are having anything done. How did you get my number? How do you know where I am? It doesn't make any sense. You're gonna drive down the street next week, and there's gonna be some guys doing some road repair.

And I'm like, Gus, hey, we called you. Just see how that did you need it. Okay. Did you get in your road in your house? We're gonna go knock your mailbox over, so then we have to put another one up for you. The best decision I ever made was to hanging a no soliciting thing in front of my house

because that's the money everybody was getting just getting hit constantly. And I was just like, that works. Yeah, I was saved. Or you can also just tell people I rent and they'll just be like, oh, you have no power here. Got you, I'll leave. It works perfectly every time they have no idea.

Smart. Yeah, I don't know. I like talking to those people sometimes. Not because I am ever gonna buy their service because I'm cheap and I won't do that. But they're usually like nice people who really hate that they have to bother you. So if you just like are a little like.

But if you have no intention of buying it. Yeah, waste of time. You're just wasting their time. Yeah, we just like on the way. They get to, They're probably not making commission. So they're just, you know, they need to be there for eight hours and check off all the houses. So just tell them you like their shoes and then, you know, be like, you know, nice shoes. It's really hot out and then 30 minutes later.

How much time do you have? Exactly. Then, oh, then they stop showing up at your house after a while and they probably think you're weird. So, like, don't worry, you're nice shoes to that house. Yeah. That guy never shuts up about them. Yeah. I care Eric, frantically typing in my- Well, you type it, Eric.
