It's time to put your pedal to the metal.
From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland,
an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie

Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider
who must deliver a mysterious package
across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell,
Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only only on peacock. Oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and trunk club, I like saying that. It makes me sound like a real person. Brought to you by Linda.com.
I thought you were talking about trunk club.
It makes me sound like official.
We got people.
You always had official.
I'm Gus.
I'm Barbara.
I'm Chris.
I'm Bernie.
I'm Gus.
We're just talking about a podcast.
It's rare that this happens,
but it happened before this podcast,
where normally the control room counts down,
we're about to go, the logo spins up,
and I had a temporary moment of panic where I thought, I forgot to do something.
Really?
Yeah, that's what?
I don't know.
Like, I felt like, all of a sudden, like,
I'm not ready to start the podcast.
I think it's because I sat down later
than I normally sit down.
You guys were here late.
I was like, we were six minutes till
and I was sitting here going, where is everybody?
Yeah, normally I'm here like 15 minutes before.
Usually we're all sitting on the couch
while Bernie comes in to get his makeup done.
Yes, at done. Yes.
And Edelah.
I was very late to the special Star Wars podcast that we recorded.
We did a Star Wars podcast earlier.
We did a Star Wars podcast earlier.
Which would be out in some form.
We don't know how.
Yeah, we're figuring out how to release it.
Do you know what day?
No, we'll settle for you now.
You said how to release it.
No way.
We may get appended to the audio release of this podcast.
Cool. And then released as a separate video on YouTube.
Speaking of audio podcasts, I have a beef
with my least favorite tech company in the world, Apple.
I was using iTunes the other day.
iTunes might force me out of the Apple ecosystem.
Here's why.
So it's been the ass, but go ahead.
Apple.
As you're using an iPad and as you're using that.
I say they'll force me out of the Apple.
Hardware's great. But go ahead Apple as you're using an iPad and as you're using that I say they force me out of the Apple I hardware is great
Okay, they have this app on iOS called podcasts. Yes, they do. I've seen it
I have it. It's an app that's supposed to allow you to get podcasts. Yes
We underwent a change a tech change on the backend here the way that we distribute our audio podcasts
What was it? We had to update the feed from an old server to a new server.
I don't know what a feed is, but okay.
It's how podcaster iTunes hook into the,
to know that it's a new episode.
It's like a text file with file location.
Exactly, it's an XML file,
but it's just a text file with URL.
People are shitter pans over these RSS feeds.
I've never bothered to figure it out.
Anyway, go ahead.
So there's an official way to do it.
Apple says, if you're gonna update your feed,
you put the special tag in.
It's called iTunes New URL.
And then iTunes will know.
Bam, new URLs over there.
It was like, cool.
So I had to do this for most of our old podcasts.
I had been started with the old website.
Went through, updated them all,
put the new feed URL in, checked on iTunes on my laptop.
Hey, everything updated.
It's all the new stuff.
Right.
It's trying to get reports from people like,
hey, podcast is an updating for me.
It's not coming out this week.
It did not come out this week. Did it not come out this week?
Like, well, that's weird.
Podcast iOS app, it doesn't recognize that new feed tag.
But, and there's no other way to get a podcast
on your iPhone, right?
If you unsubscribe from the podcast,
you can use other apps, but it's like the one that comes with it.
If you unsubscribe from the podcast,
and then re-subscribe, oh, look, it found the new file.
If you don't, it's just stuck.
Read in the old shit.
But iTunes doesn't need that.
iTunes is fine.
And iTunes apparently has nothing to do with the podcast thing.
Right. So it's like, uh-huh.
It, you fucking made an Apple.
I asked them how do I, how, well, this is, I told them, this is what we're going to do.
How do I do it? So it doesn't fuck up.
So do it this way. It's fucked up.
Sorry.
It's fucked up.
Well, fix it.
I'm trying to fix it.
And then they're all on vacation. Burn them all. They're all on them. They Apple. Yeah, Apple. Yeah, I was
They're a piece of shit. So fucking mad. My soul is over and I had people who are having this problem. Can't hear me telling them how to fix it right now. My kid
Move on is an Android tablet. Yeah, that logic just hit me. Yeah, I was like, well now they'll know. No, they won't. So I got to make a journal out of it. I'll be watching live, no. Yeah, yeah, sure.
If you're watching live,
spread the information.
Spread the word unsubscribe, re-subscribe.
I'll work it out.
Now every comment on the podcast is gonna be,
hey guys, I know how to fix this.
Unsubscribe, or subscribe.
It'll be what's the problem with my podcast showing up
by podcast.
Yeah, that is better.
That is preferable, getting the app right now.
Do you guys do tours?
Yeah, how come laser team is screening in my hometown?
That's the new one.
I saw you reply to somebody.
I was like, oh Barbara, drop in the bucket,
but you gotta try, you gotta try.
Every day.
So I was, I had a horrible thing happening to me
like the day after Christmas, where I broke my elite controller
for the Xbox. I don't know how, I broke my elite controller for the Xbox.
I don't know how.
I broke my left bumper button.
I must do something about bumper buttons.
It's just like,
mashing the shit bumper buttons, right?
LB, I broke my LB and that's $150 controller.
So it's just like, it's for shit now.
Can you replace just the bumper?
Nope, I don't know what's wrong with it,
but it's like, they go click, click, click, click.
This one just goes mush and but it does not
It also doesn't do anything you go much. It's a mashed potatoes in there
Yeah, just like you this feeling it's like everything clicks and feels good and this one button is just like he press it nothing
It's just like
a warranty
They have a warranty if I don't know what's wrong with it. Is it possible to open it up?
You're like I tried to do that. I couldn't find how to open the thing up
I don't know what's wrong with it. Is it possible to open it up?
Could you like, I'm through it?
I tried to do that.
I couldn't find how to open the thing up.
It's got these rubber pads on the bottom.
I could technically set up a paddle on the bottom
and map that to, I'm not doing that.
I'm just, I'm not doing that.
It's not the same.
No, those paddles just get in the way to me.
I don't know, they're paying the ass.
But within 30 minutes of either breaking my elite controller
or discovering that I broke my elite controller,
I then dropped and smashed my iPhone 6.
It was like a thousand dollar day of just like breaking shit.
Like if I could take it back to that 45 minutes in my life,
I would have a thousand dollars in my pocket.
Explain that situation now to a caveman.
No, it was something about explaining something
to a caveman the other day that I thought was really funny.
I'll think about it, I'll come back to it.
But it was absolutely ridiculous.
That's a lot of money in a very short amount of time.
Yeah, and I was just like, I'm not touching anything
for the rest of the day,
because I will just fuck something up worse.
I guarantee it.
I dropped my phone off from the second story on accident
and it was fine.
Second story of what?
Of a balcony, off a balcony onto a hard floor.
Really?
No case?
No, with a case.
What kind of case here?
Just a black one.
A black one.
I mean, it's like in Cipio.
I mean, it's like in Cipio.
It doesn't have like a front.
Yeah, it has like the ridge around the front.
Yeah, but I mean, it was from a second story, balcony,
and fell and hit like wood or cement or something.
Did it land face down or?
It landed like this.
On its back.
Yeah.
Okay. Well, no, yeah, it landed like this. So I didn't know if it was broken until. Oh, so it land face down or? It landed like this. On its back. Yeah. Okay. Well no, yeah.
It landed like this so I didn't know if it was broken
until it landed.
It landed face down.
It just put it over.
Yeah.
I ran it and it was like that moment where I saw it
and I was like, it's gotta be broken.
And I ran down there and it was fine.
That's crazy.
Moral stories don't drop your fucking phone.
The moral stories don't drop your phone.
Do you have a case on yours?
I do, yes.
I'm a new one.
But I also was carrying my old one without a case
because I do a weird thing where I want to upgrade my phone,
but I don't want to spend the money
when I have a perfectly good phone.
So I will take the case off my existing phone
and just be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're like throwing it around and stuff.
The iPhone 6 was, I complained about it so much.
It was a definite piece of shit.
And Gavin assures me that the 6S is a much better phone.
And so I kept wanting to upgrade to the 6S, but I was like, it's been a year since that
thing came out?
The 6S?
No.
It was September or October.
It was a really recent.
Sorry, a little less than six months.
So I couldn't justify doing it.
So I was just like, oh, so I just like, when I smashed my phone, I was like, okay, now
I can do it.
Because the last thing you want to do is buy a new phone and then break the new phone
like in the first month.
Yeah. Because you're going to be phone like in the first month. Yeah.
Cause you're gonna be dropping it this season.
So you use all your recklessness on your current phone?
I only switch phones when I break them.
I have never upgraded from a non-broken phone ever.
You know what I think would be cool?
You break them once a year, it's so weird.
Is it about every year and a half to years, Adya?
You drop your phone in the toilet or something
or it gets wet and it sends out like a message to everyone.
Like an automatic, like your phone is wet.
Wait, does that? No, I think that'd be cool, wouldn't that? Like all your everyone. Like an automatic, like your phone is wet. Wait, does that?
No, I think that'd be cool, wouldn't that?
Like all your contacts.
Like a death message.
Yeah, like, in the end,
everyone knows that your phone is kaput.
You know what did you used to do that?
It's Tamagotchi's.
Javier Tamagotchi.
Or nanopets, a simple call.
Yeah, but what do you mean?
I dropped mine in the pool one time,
and because it died, I guess,
you see the little Tamagotchi pet like fall over and like all
these X's go across the screen. What? Yeah. When you dropped it in the water. Yeah. I mean you can
actually kill a Tamagotchi. I mean you could kill the device. And it shows it dying. Yeah. That's cool.
At least to my reflection. That sounds like a working device. Right. I know that everyone's
cool about it. It's like it wouldn't work. It wouldn't work to me. It's like it wouldn't work. What would you like do that? It would use its last energy to like, either... For a joke.
Yeah.
It's like, you're on your deathbed and just like,
jazz hands.
That's what you're gonna go out with some play.
I heard her something.
I feel like if your iPhone died,
by the way, it died, it just gave everybody
who calls you a spooky ghost voice.
I don't know.
That was it.
Phones completely not working,
but I can make calls with it.
Just everybody sounds like a ghost.
It's like, yeah, they're like Siri haunts you.
So I downgraded in a way.
I went to the 6s, but I went to the smaller version.
I didn't get the big fat plus one,
just because I just like,
I just didn't need it, I don't think.
You don't like the big one?
No, it's like, I don't know.
And we're all making these big hand motions of like gripping and stuff. I like't think. You don't like the big one? No, it's like, I don't know. I didn't like it. We're all making these big hand motions
of gripping and stuff.
I like big ones.
The, but not phones.
I don't know, I just thought,
and Ashley has always had the smaller size,
one, and I would use hers from time to time
and it didn't bug me.
I don't know.
I don't know if you've ever known Adam or if you've ever
loved big ones.
I don't know.
I don't know if you've ever loved big ones.
Yes, like this.
Yes, like this. So, you know, we're all coming back after the holidays.
I'm sure lots of people are traveling still.
Traveling for the holidays is fucking terrible, especially with the bad weather around here.
I don't really force it.
I don't have to do it.
I just said, I've been really fortunate.
All my parents are dead.
What a weird thing to say.
So I haven't had to travel for like four or five years now.
I went down and visited some family.
Yeah, she doesn't seem a Christmas.
I went down to a good call.
How about you, but I went down and visited some shut up.
I went down and visited some family for Christmas.
And as I was driving down there,
I'd forgotten to fill up my car with gas
before I drove down to visit them.
So partway between here and there was like, oh, shit, I got to stop and get gas.
I stopped at some tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
I tried to use my credit card to pay for gas, put it in the pump, and it's like, please see a tent.
Oh, please see a tent. No, what the fuck does that mean?
And then right then, my phone buzzes.
He's low-lings.
And it's in my bank.
You busted.
Your credit card has been locked.
Did you just try to purchase fuel in shits of ill-Texas? And I was like, if yes, reply one. If no reply two and it's like busted. Your credit card has been locked. Did you just try to purchase fuel in shitsville, Texas?
And I was like, if yes, reply one,
if no reply two is like one.
Okay, your card's been unlocked, please try again.
It's like, I've traveled all over the world with this card.
Yeah.
I've never had it locked.
I've been like literally on the other side
of the fucking planet.
You were in Australia like two weeks ago.
I go to a gas pump in shitsville, Texas.
Nope, locked.
They ran up the fraud security during the holidays.
Apparently holidays are huge time for fraud
on credit cards.
Huge time.
It seems weird to me that like that's seasonal.
Like what's that to you all the time?
The grocery store I've had in my house will check IDs
but only during the month of December.
And they said that.
They said we only check IDs for credit cards during December.
Oh, for credit cards.
Yeah.
Like, that's weird. That's weird.
That's weird.
So for my marshmallows, marshmallows and peanut butter,
that's all I thought.
I think.
I realize too, I was getting to a point in my life
where we have a lot of cool services in Austin.
Speaking of which, they announced Google Fiber
isn't coming to LA.
Gus, you can see that.
I can't wait to see that in 15 years.
Good for them.
I looked it up, we're now at the three and a half year mark
from when they announced Google Fiber.
So you said before that you don't know anybody
with Google Fiber, and I see people in the comments
repeatedly say, but Gus has Google Fiber.
I do not have Google Fiber.
He does not have Google Fiber.
I do have a Fiber connection with another ISP,
but you're right.
ATT, right?
I don't know anybody with Google Fibers.
I know, I think I knew one person who lived in a neighborhood
that had it, and then, but that person had it.
We can no longer say that.
After I made that tweet the other day, Google contacted me
via email and they're like, we're ready to install your
fiber.
And so it's literally being installed like five days from now.
Oh.
So I don't know if that was just really worth timing
or like somebody paying attention
at Google social media or something.
But yeah, I'm getting my-
I watch the podcast.
My fiber is getting installed next week.
Fiber's awesome.
It's so cool.
So that house will have two fiber connections.
I gotta like cut off AT&T.
You're gonna do-
You're gonna do, just share it.
Like I signed up for Google, then AT&T
dropped the price of AT&T fiber everywhere in Austin, which
is really what happens when they announce that Google fiber is going somewhere. They want
people to sign up for contracts or whatever. But should I cancel AT&T and go with Google
or should I say like, no, Google kind of like strung me out just so I just not have the
Google fiber installed. Get them both. I'm actually probably going to get a gig a bit for you
in a gig a bit pressure. I'm actually going to get certain they're going to put the jack
in and then not connect the service. certain they're gonna put the jack in
and then not connect the service.
Like they're doing the installation,
but not the connection.
That's what I'm a little worried they're gonna do.
You think they would do that?
I'll admit, I'm actually gonna get the jack installed
for Google Fiber because I'm selling that house
and in Austin, it's like.
Oh, it's your office.
It's like it's a Google Fiber.
You know, and everybody in Austin will be like,
oh my God, Google fiber.
It's the house I've heard about it.
This is what I've always dreamed of.
It's your old house that has Google.
See, old place, yeah.
Not your current place.
Not my current place, no.
So I'm all moved out of there and everything.
I have a renter, but I don't know, we'll see.
I don't know if I'm gonna be a landlord.
Now I feel about that.
Aren't you currently a landlord, though? Yeah, I don't know if I liked, I don't want to I feel about that. You currently a landlord though Yeah, I don't know if I like I don't want to continue it because you're like I've looked at like hey look the heaters on this thing is broken
It's like the water he just busted and I'm like yeah, it's a bummer in it
I'm like I have to fix it for you and fix it for me. So yeah, it totally makes sense now
I'm like you wouldn't work on house that I'm not living in
It's just you know, I, it's a lot of time.
Have you met Aaron's brother, Lynn?
To be a good landlord, it's a lot of time.
To be a bad landlord, tastes almost no-a-s.
Have you met Aaron's brother, Lynn?
I know you have.
Yeah.
So his brother, Lynn's pretty funny,
but he wanted to do this thing to Aaron
where Aaron was about to buy a new place.
But at the place they live in,
both him and his brother, they have separate apartments.
You own a place and rent it out to somebody. So each unit is owned by someone
and they're usually rented out like condos. Sure. And so his brother wanted to secretly
buy the place Aaron was going to move into and then just be his landlord without telling
him. And so when something breaks, he would just show up like with a plunger and be like,
well, it's like the most practical. Yeah, that would be the most,
what is his brother do for a living?
I don't really know.
I think he's like an account manager for a hotel.
He's an account manager for a hotel.
Something, he's very secretive about what he's...
What's an account manager at a hotel do?
Like, if like, Ruchidi stayed at one hotel all the time.
And he's in an account with them?
I mean, they probably do with like, events.
So like, we have account manager's them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so he has like events and like,
manages like when people do shit.
Like, what is the thing when they do shit?
Not when they do shit.
But when, what's the thing when they park your car?
Valet, yeah.
Valet, he like manages those and, you know, all that.
He has way too much responsibility for the kind of person he is.
He's making some pretty good scratch though.
He's gonna buy a condo from the joke and rent it to his brother
He would do that his name would show up on the least you wouldn't it?
You could set up like a dba or something right like set up a phony company to do it
He should do it. I would do it. I would do it at this point here. I'm about to place. That's that's too bad
I do not want to invest any money in this, but I would watch this. Yeah, I would watch this unfold
About I like I like princess awkward people mentally. I do like that to invest any money in this, but I would watch this. I would watch this unfold. I like price that's awkward, you know, mentally.
I do, I do like that.
You don't say.
I do, I like that.
About two years ago, you mentioned a broken water heater.
About two years ago, yeah, it was two years ago.
My water heater broke on New Year's Eve.
Now, when it broke, did it stop working or did it bust open?
It was one of those things where it was a tank of this water heater
and I was sitting in my living room going,
hmm, I hear water.
And then I opened up where the tankless was
and it was just like spewing water everywhere.
So yeah, I had to shut the water off
because if the water was on, it was just shooting
jets of water everywhere.
Wait, but how does it tankless,
or how does it even work?
It's like a box.
Doesn't look as magic.
Yeah, it's a little bigger than like his even work? It's like a box. Doesn't look as magic.
Yeah, it's a little bigger than like his laptop right there.
I'm with you Chris.
There's one pipe that goes in and one pipe that goes out.
So just heat it up as it's going through it.
Wow.
Most of our measurements for temperature based on how hard it is
to increase the temperature of water.
And this thing supposedly just does it on the fly.
I still don't believe in these things.
My new place has, it's a much bigger one.
It's probably like the size of this table. But it's like endless hot water. I can don't believe in these new place has it's a much bigger one. It's probably like the size
of this table, but it's like endless hot water. I can have every hot water. Why would the other one
ever end? What's that? Why would it run out of hot water? So tankless one. The problem I had in my
old place was it was so small it couldn't provide hot water to like multiple places at once. I see
okay. Like you just didn't have enough power. Then you want to have is like every bathtub, the
dishwasher, the washing machine
Like everything it's one central one that does the whole house. I'm a
Cool sweet. Let me see about this too. Okay. I just have to be gas
There are electroquence my old one at my previous place was electric
There'd be way less efficient. It's awful. Don't do that get a gas one. What's it do? Like how it heat it is? It's just like I've wondered this like I will like
Why how it seems when what it doesn't when my other one bro
I took it apart so it's like I got to see what's in there and it's just like
two
It like they look like oil filters like two black oil filter filters essentially were in it and it's like and just a bunch of wires
It's like that looks like a bomb
It's like so it's like little explosions if they have this, like actually has a thing that I for some reason didn't know
existed.
I don't know if they have these in Canada, more in like tea cultures, where she has an
electric kettle.
I remember as a kid, you take a kettle, put water in it, you put it on the stove, and it
would take so long to heat up, there was a fucking whistle on it, to alert you when you walked
into the next room because you were tired of watching this.
You didn't have an electric kettle as a kid?
No, an electric kettle?
I have an electric kettle that you can dial in a specific temperature to.
Okay, it's just like a switch, right?
Yeah, it's just like you put it on this pedestal thing
and then you hit a switch and it goes.
And it like, it heats up water super fast,
but it still takes a good three minutes to do it.
Why don't they just make kettles
that are whatever this oil filter says?
They have those.
And it just like all of a sudden you have boiling water.
There's one, I forget it's a Japanese company. I think it's like, is there a tootsie or something like that?
Uh, that they just make like this little canister.
And it's just always like, you just push a button
and it just, it's hot water out.
Like a boiling water, on demand.
Yeah, but that's not, that's like a superpower.
That's like, if you could attach it to your hand.
Yeah, they'd be able to burn everyone in your family.
And just like, you can break on your knees and
skull to everyone.
That feels like something that could be like a superhero,
like Batman or something,
where he built his own superpower
and he built like boiling water management.
You know, I don't know how to do that.
I think the problem is that,
his arch nemesis is key bag.
If it's electric,
it takes a ton of energy.
Like that little electric one I had,
which was not enough for my whole house,
I think was like 40 amps.
Well, they have a whole extra grids or power plants on grids in the UK that are ready
to take over at halftime of football matches because everyone fires up their kettle and
it like puts a certain strain on the grid, they need to spin up all their power plants.
So it's like the most English thing.
What?
What?
What? So at halftime during football match, everyone hits up their kettle to make tea make sure that I'm
Reaches you're talking about pop up. Cheerio. Yes soccer. Yeah American soccer football
Food food UK Kettles. I've heard that before so I'm gonna. I'm gonna assume it's true
Yeah, tea time in Britain causes predictable massive surge in electricity demand. Oh, by the way
You guys are 90s kids. Did you drink surge?
Go yeah, yeah
Yeah, did you know well I stopped because it struck your penis?
what
How is it struck my penis?
How strong did your penis get from sir? No, no, no
It was just like the rumor like that's all it takes in middle school
Or actually elementary school you heard a lot of weird things about penises when you're in elementary school No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, about everything. But once that got around that, well, you know that shrinks your penis.
No one drink it.
Do you think some kids have?
It's like every little elementary school boys
worried about his dick shriveling up.
Dude, I was saying, do you think like
some kids mom told him that
and then he told every other kid?
I don't know.
Like how people say like eating your vegetables.
Watch out, honey.
I don't want your penis to shrivel off
from drinking too much.
Why would a mother say that?
That's true.
Why would a mother come up with that?
How do I get him to stop drinking the sugary drink?
Hey, Jimmy, your cock's gonna shrink.
He's drinking that.
I don't get it.
I'm saying that and make him stop.
Well, I don't mind mom being tell me that, but I heard it.
There's a thing.
Yeah.
So according to four, Kategani, the on Twitter Twitter the device I'm talking about is made by
Zodhi Rushi and according to that person they say it still takes time. I thought it was instant
What still takes time the so the thing I thought was hot instant hot water
Striking your beer. The only thing I ask is like
They're at my kitchen sink. It must be farther away from the hot water here than everything else because it takes a good minute
When you put it on full blast hot and you're waiting there for it to turn hot.
But that's where you typically want hot water.
The fact that you want it to be places.
You want it to kitchen sink and you want it in the bathroom.
That's the two places you want hot water.
Pretty much like the same though,
the places where the water is.
Like, hose is not side, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
I can get you in pool and yeah.
Wash your machine.
Shower, sink.
Wash your machine.
But I also learned the dishwasher.
I just thought it used hot water.
It puts in water and then heats it's on water.
Like it doesn't even trust the pipes to heat it up hot enough.
Yeah, it's got a different heating element.
Yeah.
And they also use that element to melt plastic.
You leave it there.
Yeah.
Yes.
There's another worsen like running the dishwasher,
leaving the coming home and me opening the door and be like,
what's that smell?
Oh, fuck. And then you like find, what's that smell? Oh, fuck.
And then you find something melted around it.
Oh, ooh.
I've never had that before.
I've had stuff fall off the top rack
down onto the heating element, and then just melt all over.
I had one time where I didn't close it all the way,
and so I came back maybe an hour later after it finished,
and my entire kitchen was full of soapy water.
How did it run?
I have no idea.
It's like a crappy little apartment dishwasher that came
with the place.
Holy fuck.
And I don't know if it's just that I didn't close it all
the way or that something opened up.
So, get busted.
Something else.
Also, the dishwasher detergent is not interchangeable
with dish soap.
This one of your experience?
Yes, it doesn't work.
It does work, but it also spees bubbles ever.
You haven't lived until you've lived with somebody
who makes this mistake, and it's like they put dish washer
soap in the dishwasher, and it just like, it makes a foam.
It makes a foam party.
Yeah, it's one of those grave foam parties.
That's what you have in your kitchen.
Yeah, and you can't stop it.
I was like, you tried to shove it back in. You're not old-wards, you're not. I. You're trying to stuff it back in.
How old were you Chris? I mean, last year? No, no, I was, this was
a thing where I still lived with my parents. So I was still like in a teenager.
So you were not trusted to live alone yet? No, no, yeah, yeah.
What's the first time you did laundry by yourself? When I was a freshman in college.
Was that like, try to put dishes in? No, I mean,
it was one of those things where I hand soap. No, I mean, it's just I think at that point,
I asked ahead of time like, how do I do laundry? There's also sometimes little instructions on the lid.
Yeah, tell her you Barbara. I had just started college probably. Bernie? Yeah, my laundry, middle school
probably. Yeah, I started when I was 13.
Yeah.
How the fuck did you guys get to college?
I did a laundry for the first time.
I didn't chores, I just never did laundry.
I would fold the laundry.
I come from a family of five.
And so when my mom did the laundry,
she would do everybody's laundry at the same time.
It didn't make sense for me to do my laundry separately.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I agree.
My mother was also the same way,
but she said, you're gonna learn how to do this,
and you're gonna start doing it for now.
And even though it was probably more inconvenient for her
and I was fucking it up, she like made me start doing it.
I mean, I probably had done it one or two times
when my family was on vacation,
I was staying at home or something,
and I ate you my own laundry.
I mean, I think it's just when my mom didn't trust.
I am the guy who like flooded the kitchen with bubbles, so.
I wouldn't trust you.
I was in charge of folding the clothes. That was with bubbles. So I wouldn't try to. I wasn't charged folding the clothes.
That was my thing.
You already fucked up one applying.
I keep Chris away from all the other ones.
One of the people who was on the amazing race
was Tyler Oakley.
So I've been listening to his biography that he put out,
like right before the race started.
And he did laundry for the first time when he was nine years old.
And he fucked it up so bad that he's can't bring himself
to do laundry ever since that. even to this day he pays like someone
else to do his laundry.
What does that mean?
Like he takes his like he a man died.
Like I fucked it up.
So I can never go back.
He killed his cat or something.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't do that. I didn't do that. That was a joke. That is a thing that happened. Chris got really, it is has happened. Cats get inside the dryer because that
hat cats are staying. Not to me. I didn't. It is a thing that I've heard of. It's happened.
Cats, you catch you. You seem really defensive about the Chris. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I like cats.
I mean, I told me it wasn't my fault. Oh, but I want to say about the surge thing. I have
been in the Burger King in years,
and for some reason I ended up in a Burger King just recently.
Do you say hi for me?
To Burger King.
Why did you go to Burger King?
It's to work there.
Oh, you used to work in Burger King?
Was it called Burger King in Canada?
Yes.
Was it called Hungry Jacks?
No, it was called Burger King.
So as it's called in Australia.
And they have surge at Burger King.
They do?
They have surge like frozen drinks.
Oh, weird.
And I thought, oh, that's interesting.
So I didn't get one.
So I was saying everyone who eats a burger King has a small dick.
I do.
Burger King's not a sponsor, are they?
No.
So what I'm saying is, if you want to shrink your dick, go to Burger King.
I tell you guys, Burger King is a strong dick.
It's funny.
It's funny to say that.
I hadn't been to Burger King in years either.
I used to go there all the time when I was in college.
And a couple of weeks ago, for some reason, I went to a burger King here in Austin.
It's like, oh, I'm Burger King.
I haven't been there in forever, I'm gonna go into it.
Which one do you go to? I went to the one over by like 35th and Jefferson.
Okay, go ahead.
And I walked in and I looked around at everyone who was sitting there first, I was like,
there's something weird about this. I walked up to the counter and ordered.
And then like, so then I go out to stand for waiting for my food off the side.
I'm looking at everyone who's like sitting there eating.
It is all middle-aged guys sitting by themselves,
looking incredibly sad, looking down at their burger.
I was like, it's like, divorce dad night.
It's like all the guys who like,
they don't have their family anymore.
And they're just sitting there.
It's like all they have in their life is this whopper.
And it's like, they're looking at it so lovingly.
I was like, this is really sad and kind of awkward.
Like I don't wanna be here anymore.
And you know what I mean?
I don't know why she left me.
I don't know why my dick shrunk.
I don't know why.
Oh, oh.
So, so weird.
Yeah, okay.
So that Burger King, the one I'm thinking of, it's like ran by the Randall's
on 34th of a hill, but she used to be a friend of mine too.
That Burger King freaks me out because, and that was the one I wanted to, it doesn't have
a drive-thru-
It doesn't have a drive-thru, which is why I had to get down.
I've never seen a fast food restaurant that didn't have a drive-thru, this thing, just
just, it's just a burger.
It just doesn't have a drive-thru of any kind.
It's really weird.
And it's not like, it's hemmed in.
It's plenty of space.
There are some city things where they put restrictions
on drive-throughs in certain places in the city.
Do you know of another fast food restaurant
in Austin that doesn't have a drive-through?
No.
They did do that, I think, on Riverside,
I think, to restrict people putting up more fast food
restaurants.
I see.
OK.
So I think that could be that.
Is it? That is it. So you can see it. It's like, I think that they could be that. Is that it?
That is it.
So you can see it.
It's like fenced off on the back.
It's like a big party wall.
They've got a huge area where they could do it.
Nope.
Yeah.
It's so weird.
And that's where you can find all the sad people eating
their whoppers.
Or if you just want to show you what.
It looks like I flipped off the camera.
I didn't.
That was really weird.

So I
Yeah, you know what our credit that I'm gonna learn about RSS feed the whole time
I how to make a podcast distribution iOS apps send that to Apple
Industry to Tim it does up and running with RSS and pod podcast subscriptions. It's surprisingly by Nick Brasi
It's surprisingly complex like trying to figure out RSS indication the X also because
You're right. It is just a bucket that should just be like API that's a very specific version of an API
Yeah, here's a file name. Here's a URL. That's all you said to do. It's just like figuring all that shit out
Just a pity. Yeah, man
If we if it if it ever doesn't work to there is a certain segment of the population that lives and dies by RSS feeds and they will like they will immediately
Notifies that the RSS feed has stopped working. I like RSS feeds. I get you. I get you
I just never have used it. It's probably one of the best things in my life that I don't have
Did I branch about this already? I'm seeing probably there's another problem I had with Apple
Pretty tell
So like you mentioned I like RSS assessments because I can subscribe to multiple websites
I don't have to go visit the website just anytime. There's a new article or something posted
It's like boom it just pops up pops up where in the reader in what what so okay in this case
I used a reader called news fire piece of shit. Don't download it
This is what more I just you did
It's spread that
Uninstalled it so I bought this app from the OS 10 app store It's Fred that calls off. So everyone, let me just go on and install it.
So I bought this app from the OS 10 app store
like in July.
It was called NewsFire.
And all it does is you paste in an RSS URL,
and then it's like for Mashable.
I paste in like their front page news.
You don't need to tell people that.
Any time they put it in a new article, bam, there it is.
So I can watch their shitty video about lost,
explaining it for a minute, which was terrible.
Um, uh,
it's like an endorsement for nothing that you do.
Yeah, everything in my life is bad
and do not do any of this.
So back early November or so,
one morning I go to launch news fire
and it like bounces in my dock and then just doesn't launch.
Like, uh, that's weird.
Try it again.
That's how every time to come from start, ah, that's weird. Try it again. That's like how the every time you come from start,
oh, that's weird.
Try it again, bounces doesn't launch.
Like, okay, let me just repeat.
My computer's fucked up.
Reboot, bounces doesn't launch.
What the fucker.
So I look it up and I paid like 10 bucks for this program.
And at this point, I don't only use it like four months.
And so I look it up, then I see one review for it on the app store.
The most recent review is like, oh, the program doesn't work anymore.
Developer doesn't support it.
What?
Yeah.
So it's like, it just-
Why is that working then?
It just stopped working.
It just doesn't launch.
Developer doesn't support it.
So I contact Apple.
I'm like, hey, I paid 10 bucks for this app,
and it just doesn't work anymore.
Can I have my money back?
Like, no.
What? Yeah.
So I paid ten bucks to use a program for three or four months and then now it just doesn't work
and fuck me, right? And they just gave up on it. Right. They just-
Why do you stop working? I think like they're-
Is there like a license?
There's security certificate expired. Okay. They just have it. They just have a reason.
Let me criticize your whole approach here. So you learned all about RSS feeds. You went to
trouble of finding the RSS feeds of the sites that you quote unquote like. You downloaded another program, fed the RSS
like addresses into this thing, and then you just, you want when you want to look at websites,
you launch this program and go through them. Why not just what that's what that's all about?
The program's always running. I just normally leave it there, apparently. It's not always right.
I mean, it just pops up a number with how many unread articles I have.
Yeah, but it just goes to the site.
Yeah, but you're not going and looking at stuff
that you've already seen,
or you're not just going and there's nothing there.
And you don't have to see the whole thing.
It's like, you see the headline,
you see the first couple of sentences,
like, is that an article I want to read?
No, no, no.
And then you don't have to deal with any other bullshit.
You say you're dealing with non-stop bullshit.
Except it's like, yeah, it's non-stop bullshit.
So I just find another app and it sucked.
And then the new app isn't as good as new Swayr was
for the three months that I had it.
I'm sure he'll be explaining me on Twitter why.
Or as this feels the best thing ever,
but I just never, I never really got into it.
So I watched this shitty video Mashable put out today.
How'd that go?
Which one?
Actually, wait, no, it's an old video.
They just reposted it today.
Like, it's about lost.
They tried to explain lost in under four minutes.
I have never disliked a video on YouTube before.
I dislike that video.
Why?
I gave it a thumbs down.
It was just, it just.
Was it just inaccurate or like what was bad about it?
I was like, oh right, lost.
Like I wanna revisit it, relearn it.
It's like they didn't explain anything about the show.
It was just like four minutes of bad jokes about lost.
Oh.
It was like, you're not, you're not explaining the point
of the radio.
Right.
Yeah.
So I'm not, I'm not happy.
I did not have a good RSS day.
Too.
Sorry, dude.
Yeah.
So I mean, it happened.
So I've got another app.
It doesn't work as well, but whatever.
Since you already have set, can I bring up something
I'm curious to you?
Please do.
Did you hear about the dude in Houston
who stopped traffic
across five million?
Oh my God!
What do you do?
She proposed to his girlfriend.
Oh my.
Because that was, you know what, he did that?
Why he stopped traffic there?
Because that's her favorite view of Houston.
And it was like, in a minute, like I saw it.
I saw it.
That's not like a billboard in two buildings.
And when you couldn't even see downtown Houston,
it was like nothing.
Yeah.
It was stereotypical.
Houston, it was a fucking freeway.
Why do you like, whose favorite view of anything
is from a freeway?
Like, I was like,
if you get a revolving restaurant at the top of the tower,
I was like, I like the view from the freeway.
Look how beautiful.
So they've, Chris, they've stopped traffic across five lanes.
They got out eight cars.
Why?
They all just stopped.
So they can get out of the way
so that they can get out, walk around the wild.
I love this person, they're getting around on the shoulder.
Dude, I would run them over.
But, but is it, legally he did this?
No, he's going to jail man.
Oh yeah, he did.
He was like this funny story and everybody loved it
and it like the news is reporting on it.
Nobody loved it.
Nobody loved it.
Everybody loved it.
Everybody loved it.
Everybody loved it.
Everybody loved it.
But everyone wanted to fucking kill him.
Yeah, it's like a stupid, I was just kidding. So what is he going to jail for? He's not probably not gonna go jail, but he's got for a...
Class misdemeanor, which can have up to six months in jail.
Honestly, I think they should find every single one of those people who helped them too.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
It's Houston.
It's a very good idea.
Houston is serious about freeways and traffic.
I think they're gonna throw the book at him.
Wasn't there a...
Yeah.
Wasn't there a couple in one of the cars that was stopped behind that was on the way to the hospital
because his wife was a labor.
Just by sheer probability,
if you stop traffic in Houston for like two minutes,
yes, there's probably,
and it's not like they just start going
and the traffic problem goes away.
I mean, who knows how many accidents they cause?
It's cars stopped.
And how many hours that residual traffic was there?
And he was like, yeah, he goes to,
oh, you know, it was in love.
So it's like, I thought, why not, you know,
just, it's only five minutes, just take time out and just, he's in love. So it's like, I thought, one, you know, just, it's only five minutes.
Just take time out and just stop traffic.
But it's such a dick move.
That's like, it's terrible.
If you stop a hundred people for five minutes,
you've wasted 500 minutes.
Yeah.
It's not like five minutes.
I wouldn't, anybody got like divorced
because somebody was late somewhere
or something like that.
I'm sure there's something really bad that happened.
There was another underlying problem in marriage.
You have a five minute delay.
It's broken marriage. The same thing is going on. When I showed her, that something really bad that happens. There was another underlying problem in the marriage of a five minute delay. It's broken marriage.
The same thing is going on.
I'm sure that that was like the final straw.
You're late for this.
I lost therapy session.
The net effect on love in the world was like,
is dead even, because this guy got engaged.
Well, he's going to jail.
I also love watching that video
because the couple, both of them are equally
just like really, really stupid.
Fapping, just utterly vacant.
Just like, oh my god, I didn't realize that it would be
such a problem that, you know, we were just in love,
I thought I was really sweet, and it was just like,
oh my god, you deserve each other.
No, no, he's like, well, what are we gonna do?
It's love, and sometimes you do crazy things for love,
and everybody understands that.
I mean, what else could I do?
It's like, what else could you do?
Okay, how about you cut your wrist open
right in the middle of the world? That might be a better way to do that next time. Hey, it's love, what else could I do? It's like, what else could you do? Okay, how about you cut your wrist open? Right, that might be a better way to do that next time.
Hey, it's love.
What are you gonna do?
Fucking asshole.
Yeah, I was so infuriated when I saw that.
It's fucking terrible.
Yeah, that's like the guy.
I thought of you the moment I saw it.
I know you would just, I was so mad.
You imagine Gus is, in the car.
One of the first cars like behind the ones that stop the
Proposal, and he can see what's happening
It's a lot of different headline to be the guy runs over proposed
Proposing guy is given key to the city
Oh, that's like the guy who proposes that someone else is wetting but like way worse. Yeah, you know like it's like the biggest
Oh, yeah, like stealing this to really yeah because people You know, like the biggest did. Oh yeah. Yeah, like stealing. That's all really.
Yeah.
Because people get all into like the romance.
Yeah.
And I'm so excited.
And man, if I was about to say if I was a girl, um, if I was, if I was getting proposed
to you and someone proposed me at a wedding, I would say no.
I'd be like, it's just means that this is not going to work out.
I'm just based on how dumb you are.
Yeah.
Because it's just like, I can't think of it.
Well, someone else's night.
It's like thousands and thousands of dollars
to prepare for this party and you're sucking all these.
And it's gonna be made about you.
Then everyone's like,
oh my god, congratulations to you.
Yeah, that's terrible.
That's fucked up.
But yeah, I had the same thought you did, Barbara,
when I saw that woman talking in the video,
I was like, oh, right.
There's a reason.
They're perfect.
There's a reason they found each other.
There's a reason.
Barbara's impression was pretty spot on.
Of her.
Yeah, it was unbelievable listening to them.
I thought.
If he goes to jail for a day, do you think that relationship will survive?
Should be like, I moved on, I met someone.
Yeah.
It's like a goal fish.
You're fucking forgets about him. I'm like, I'm gonna be the night and run or her.
He's not the auto-bond for me.
It's not the auto-bond for me.
It's so their lovely people.
So we didn't talk too much about it last week, but uh, SpaceX landed their Falcon 9 rocket.
That was pretty cool.
That happened like right as we started the podcast.
Yeah, they were watching.
We were just getting started on it.
Yeah, I was watching the livestream of them taking off.
Uh huh.
And then I turned it off because we started the podcast
at that moment.
Dude, by the way, SpaceX, Michigan,
control was nice.
That's a really bad ass facility.
Because I was watching a video of them landing
and everyone just going nuts.
I mean, like when it came to reentry,
they were screaming, but then when the thing landed,
they just went absolutely insane.
Did you see, so they're not the first person to do this,
right? Like Jeff Bezos company.
No, no.
I'm gonna clarify. Jeff Bezos company also went to space blue origin and then
He'll rely on their rocket and so I thought oh SpaceX did it to their second
And then I saw a diagram illustrating the difference in the mission that the two underwent and it showed blue origin
Goes the straight up it was straight up barely into space and then come straight back down right space
X went out much further deployed a payload and then come straight back down right space X one went out much further
Deploy to payload and then like looped back around it helps some satellites get further out
Oh space X or it's basically the equivalent gust to me is if you
Took a football and threw it up in the air a hundred feet and then caught it yourself
That's pretty cool, but the orbital one is like throwing it a hundred yards and catching it yourself like running underneath
The ball and catching it. That's like the difference in the degree of difficulty
First one was still still super hard and it was historical and everything that Blue Origin did it
But it's a much different shape rocket. It's a it's meant to deliver
I think people into space for like four minutes one of those adventure rides where you go into like
Sub orbital flight and you can see the curvature of the earth and everything.
And then it comes straight back down.
This thing went up and around the planet.
It's basically, it's designed to do that,
deliver payloads, like massive payloads.
So that second curve is the,
yeah, I don't know if you guys can find it in the control,
or I'll see if I can, if I can,
okay, so the Falcon 6, it didn't go full orbit of the earth.
No, there's a, there's just still image
that illustrates it.
You can send it to him.
Yeah, let's see if I can.
I don't know if I can.
Can I airplane?
And I don't fully understand what the implications of this are,
but every comment that I read from someone who seems to have
a better understanding of aerospace engineering than I do,
is like this is an enormous milestone.
But so, most people don't understand the impact of this rocket.
I mean, they can make more flights.
It's essentially what it boils down to because they land the rocket which launches the payload
out of space.
You know, see the Apollo missions where it's like stage one separation and then splashes
in the ocean.
There's like stage one separation, but then stage one comes back and lands back.
They don't see it.
They don't see it.
Oh, wow.
So there's like blue origin, it goes up, it comes back and then space. They got control. Oh, there's like blue origin goes up and comes back
and space and then that dotted line going off to the right is the payload they deployed. Oh,
got you. Going out. I get it. The rocket coming back. I get it now. Yeah. That's cool. So I see
him that just saves them a whole lot of money as well. Right. Also, the difference in altitude of
those two different things. I mean, that's the most dying is 100 kilometers.
Yeah, it's almost double to get all the way out there.
Also, I read a lot about the shape of the rocket
and the blue origin one, they have both the videos
are online.
Blue origin one is much shorter, much fatter
in order for the Falcon rocket.
What's that?
In order for the Falcon to get out into orbit
with payloads, it has to be a much longer thinner rocket,
which makes it a lot harder to land
because it wants to top it over.
And there's some really awesome videos of previous attempts
at trying to land this thing, and it just smashing.
Did this one not land on a barge?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I thought that's what SpaceX was trying to do,
was trying to land it on a barge in the ocean.
They had been trying to do that.
I don't know if this particular one did or not.
Did they just be able to word?
Did they just try to like land it on land just because of the blue origin milestone?
I don't know.
Maybe.
I feel like the barge would be harder.
Like that.
Yeah, it's like a moving target.
Right.
There's a lot of shit that you could fall in.
Yeah.
So one of the people on Twitter saying it's as big an achievement as the shuttle was a
Reusable landable functioning unmanned rocket
Yeah, hopefully they can turn around faster the problem we realized with the shuttle was it was a great idea
Then you realize oh it takes months to turn it around have it be ready again
Yeah, like they're they're you got to have it be have that turn around really reduced in time to make it a factor
It's like a common as like the Russian Soyuz rockets and the shuttle
really reduced in time to make it a better. It's like a common as like the Russian Soyuz rockets
and the shuttle.
Because the Soyuz rockets are enormously predictable
and very reliable.
And they can just like put people on them,
like the way Richard Garriott said it in a speech was
that if they tell you a year from now,
the time and date the Soyuz rockets
can launch eight launches within like five seconds of that.
They don't stop for weather,
they don't scrub the launches or anything like that.
They go up.
And so this is like a combination of the two,
because it's got the reliability of like a straight rocket delivery,
but it's got the reusable aspect
and that they think can return to Earth.
Doesn't it cost an enormous amount of fuel though to land?
I think I'm like watching this thing like hovering,
trying to land, and thinking,
that's a lot of extra fuel that they have to have.
Extra fuel, building up another rocket. But they also they have to put in that fuel
up. They have to send the fuel up exactly. So it adds to the weight of trying to get
this thing out into orbit is enough fuel to land it again. But I'm sure they got
to figure it out. I'm sure somebody ran the spreadsheet to figure out which is more impressive.
Which is more expensive. That is not to scale. That is not to scale. That looks like two. Those are the package to like a toy rocket
that you would get. One of the ones you'd get at Michaels or something. It looks like R2D2 and C3P.
I'm pretty sure. Have you ever seen Star Wars? I mean the equivalent. I mean, that's
the, that does not look like that. That's the spaceship version of them. I'm pretty sure the Falcon
is at least double the height of the blue origin rocket
Really disappointed in you when short that one's long and skinny
Boy, yeah, Falcon versus you get a lot of really awesome stuff
I love I love the blue origin all the images that people are taking out all the picture you're taking out of falcons that have taken down drones.
Yeah.
And just like a falcons sitting on top of a drone.
Oh, wow, they're this distilled.
Oh, that's the actual scale.
Yeah, yeah, it's way bigger.
Like imagine trying to land that one on the right
if you're landing upright.
Yeah.
Because you can just like land like still inside
and be great.
Perfect.
Like in a big bunch of cardboard boxes.
It's like a stunt fall.
But I love the idea that, you know, there's these predatory birds that see these stupid
ass drones in the air and just like, no, no.
I'm not.
Yeah.
They're doing everyone a favor.
I'm taking this out.
And they're just like, sit over it triumphantly.
When Amazon drones gonna start.
I've never.
Didn't they just put out?
Didn't they just put out a video that showed a demonstration
of the actual ones in motion?
Yeah, I didn't watch it.
Did you?
I did.
And it looked OK.
But I don't remember.
How big was it, do you remember?
Did it look like R2D2 or C3PO?
Probably more like R2D2.
Yeah, I had to say.
So all this like talk about drones being unsafe and everything and like they're worried
about drones or airports and everything.
Somebody went through all the collision data for airplanes and determined that there's
been zero collisions of aircraft with drones and there's been 198 documented collisions
of aircraft with turtles. It's turtle. Why?
Turtles are far more dangerous to aircraft than drones.
Are they in Mario?
Like, no, of course they're not in Mario.
Here's what the researchers said.
Here's what the researchers said.
No, like if someone's throwing their turtle really far, like shooting it out of like an
air cannon, said Dorado when speaking to popular science about his findings I picked
turtles because turtles are funny
but how but who what they're going to be like crawling across the runway and just run over by the
fires or like maybe sucked into an engine but that doesn't see I was picturing it in the sky somewhere
like someone listen to the politicians I mean that's right thought what I do I normally see sucked into an engine, but that doesn't see it. I was picturing it in the sky somewhere. Like someone. Listen, collisions.
I mean, that's right thought.
What do I normally see?
Eli Dorado.
That's why it was so funny.
I'll retweet this.
It's turtles.
If I can.
1999 to 2015.
I'll retweet this.
I'm not sending this to the camera.
The turtles have been around longer than drones.
That's true.
There were no drones in 1990, so the date is obviously skewed.
It's very true.
But it's still really funny. That's an excellent There were no drones in 1990, so the data is obviously skewed. That's still really funny.
That's an excellent point, Chris.
But turtles are huge menace.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
Hopefully that works.
So the law where if you own a drone, you have to register with the FAA, that wouldn't
have effect, right?
So I don't know.
I have a drone.
Do I have to register it?
I think so. I think as of this past Monday, as of today, a drone. Do I have to register it? I think so.
I think like as of this past Monday, as of today or last Monday, you had to like register
with the FAA if you want to drone.
What counts as a drone versus just a little like flying thing?
It's a question.
They have a different, I don't know.
I don't own one because I'm not stupid.
So I don't know.
Maybe a drone specifically.
I wonder why they call these things drone when they're really just kind of like, because
they make it drone.
They make it drone, yeah.
I think you're in in some level of autonomy.
That's what I feel like when I hear the word drone.
Yeah.
Maybe it's something that'll hover on its own.
Like, the drone that I have,
which is a DJI phantom, it has a GPS in it.
And so it like, if you just send it up
and the wind hits it and it starts blowing it,
it goes, oh, I'm not getting any commands to move,
and I'm supposed to be staying in the same place,
and my GPS is changing so it adjusts,
and it makes a little adjustments
to keep itself basically in the same place.
It works up to a certain point,
and then you know, it's certain,
you know, I have no idea how like windy it is,
like 300 feet over my head,
but you gotta tell it cause all of a sudden
your drone starts disappearing, you know.
And then when it gets out of range of your remote
and you lose signal, the drone just goes,
okay, well, I don't have a signal from my home remote anymore.
So I know where I started based on my GPS,
I'll just go back there.
So just like, start coming back to you.
That's cool.
And like everything starts boiling.
Tell the expeciting it, you're just like,
fuck it.
It starts a new life, it goes to eat it,
it goes to eat it Burger King, dude.
I know.
I miss my room. So I guess the registration began December 21
Registration is free the first 30 days
It's a terrible website and again, so December 21st. Okay great. So my. Just send us the definition of a drone. What is it?
Uh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh.
I'm just looking at it.
Can you also just look up drone?
No, by the definition by the FAA.
Oh, FAA.
I'm downloading the model aircraft, do's and don't.
If it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds, unmanned aircraft weighing
more than 55 pounds cannot use this registration
process and must register using the aircraft registry process. So if it's an unmanned craft that's
more than half a pound, you have to register it. My wallet's fine. My name is like four or five
pounds probably. So I'm reading the the do's and don'ts that the FAA they've made a nice little
infographic here. Oh really? Hey, you know what you should do?
Do fly a model aircraft for personal enjoyment.
Okay, I will.
Someone got paid to make that.
This is on a fucking government website.
Dude, marketing for the government's got a lot of money on the website.
Well, they probably have to come up with a number of do's and they're just like, I don't
fucking know what to say do.
It is a good point Barbara.
They have a shitload of don'ts and they probably like, well, we need more do's.
We need to make that some positivity. point Barbara they have a shitload of don'ts and they probably like well we need more do's on the previous page they said do not fly a drone within five miles of an airport
five miles on this one do contact the airport or control tower when flying within five miles
of the airport which what fucking is it don't or do with permission also that'd be so
fucking annoying if you were working at an airport and like you had people calling you all the time
being like hey, I'm just gonna fly my drone in
Just want to let you guys know and I'm gonna say no
They're gonna be like no don't don't yeah
Let me reiterate
No, they face as do call them yeah, it's do fly a model aircraft at the local model aircraft club
What if you don't want to
Don't fly in your manned aircraft like the don'ts make sense
Don't fly contrary to your arrow modeling community-based safety guidelines. Wow. What let's find out at the
Arrow is it arrow arrow dash modeling
Community-based safety guidelines. What's the? Arrow? Arrow? Arrow, Dash, modeling, community-based, safety, guidelines.
What's the other do?
Do take lessons and learn to fly safely.
Okay, that's a good do.
Because that's almost like a don't.
Like don't fly it without.
I have got to contact someone in the Austin Arrow modeling
community and find out what our Austin-based safety
guidelines are.
Austin Arrow modeling community.
This is, you know it's gonna be one dude.
It's, I feel like we live in a really shitty future.
It's like we have drones and hoverboards
you can get for Christmas and they're all shitty.
It's like the hoverboard doesn't hover,
it just catches fire.
Drones are like, I don't know, like falcons kill them.
And then there's gonna be some rules.
They aren't like self-sufficient.
Yeah, they're not like,
Drone, go get me vodka.
And then it will go and get you things.
Yeah, remember the Amazon drone thing?
That they did on Cyber Monday,
they announced they were gonna be putting a fleet of drones.
Barbara just asked about it.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
I was just wondering.
You didn't see what they did this Cyber Monday thing? No, what they did this time. They released a video of drones. Barbara just asked about it. Oh, sorry. Sorry, I was just, I was really,
I was just, I was like,
I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like,
I was like, I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like,
I was like, I was like, I was like, I take your point, but great likes to go like. Amazon drone.
Austin was one of the auto completes. This drone looks so stupid.
What does it deliver?
Hawks and dreams.
So Amazon Prime in Austin, now we'll deliver food.
Yes it will.
Yes, it'll go to some carts and everything,
like food trucks.
Or restaurants, it'll have to just be food truck.
And you know, it's really fun
about that if you have a Amazon Echo. If you have the Prime Now food truck. And you know, it's really fun. If you have Amazon Echo.
If you have the Prime Now app.
Oh, Prime Now, that's different though then.
But if you have Prime, you can use Prime Now.
Okay, but it's there.
It's no fee to be on Prime Now.
You just pay as you do it.
Gotcha.
You pay like 12 bucks.
I'm like, you get a $5 sandwich.
Ha, ha, ha.
Well, no, you pay 12 bucks per order or whatever.
Like here, you can look at menus of restaurants.
Like you're putting your zip code
and it's like, so the restaurant's a little bit free. Like here, you can look at menus of restaurants. Like you're putting your zip code and it's like,
you're so the restaurant's on.
We are 40 minutes from the end of the podcast.
Do you think you should order something
on Amazon Prime?
Now it will not get here in time.
Does it, the gate's closed?
They're not gonna be able to get in here.
You don't know.
All right.
Like Burger King.
All the way, what should I order for Burger King?
I don't know, Burger King.
Let's get some lovers.
Either drone or Burger King. Oh, fuck me. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do you feel better about yourself? I do have it.
What do you want?
No, no.
Frozen surge.
How about that?
Get some woppers.
Frozen surge.
Burger King.
Chris, you want one?
I won't one.
I'm willing to risk it.
Why would you want to shrink your dick?
I don't go to the grocery store anymore. I order all my groceries through another one of these apps
where you just put what you want.
I was doing it too.
We would start to talk about that.
I've stopped doing that.
I now go to the grocery store.
Why?
Because I was getting to a point where it's like,
I don't leave my house.
Like, that's the best.
I know, I know.
But like with my kids and everything,
we spent a whole day where it's like,
we didn't go outside.
And then, because we had like Instacart come.
I call out the weekend. Yeah, it was like, it was weird to me. So I was like, we didn't go outside. And then, because we had like, Instacart come. I call it the weekend.
Yeah, it was like, it was weird to me.
So I was like, we're not doing this anymore.
So I had, so I ordered some food over the weekend.
I'm stressed, so I had to exchange some text messages with them.
So invariably what happens is you order all your food,
they go to the grocery store, and then they're like,
oh, we can't find an apple.
Right. So they like, we got you a pair instead. Like, I don't want a fucking, we can't find an apple. Right.
So they like, we got you a pair instead.
I don't wanna fucking pair.
I wanted a goddamn apple.
So I, uh.
By the way, also, by the way, that happens all the time
with this thing.
Like, oh, we couldn't find the strawberry yogurt
so we got your cherry yogurt.
I've never been in the store with my shopping list.
I buy the same thing every time I go to the store.
I've never been in thing, they don't have the food that I bought.
That's almost like they've never not had apples
So okay that happens all the time so that happened so yesterday I ordered food or from my fucking groceries and
This is prime now. No, no, this is another service. This is Instacart and they're at scar
They were like
They you know they didn't have organic food. Yeah, both they were replaced with red delicious apples
How dare they?
And I was like, no, can you get honey crisp apples instead?
And they were like, no, they only have
a delicious granny smith and crab apples.
Crab apples, fuck, fuck, I'm not a horse.
I'm like, I don't want any of those.
You're telling me they went to the fucking HB and they only had three apples one of which is for horses
So he doesn't make any sense you want us to go to you
To HB grocery store, but instead we went to a mercantile and trade company in
1930 fucking crab apples. I was so I was so mad looking at my phone
I was like I almost crushed it with my hand. What even are crap apples?
They're like a shitty little
Yeah, I mean they're like a super sour shitball. Yeah, they're terrible
Right, I don't think people can eat them. They're not edible. They're like the things that you trick your brother in eating
I don't think people say I need them. They're not edible.
They're like the things that you trick your brother in eating.
Crack a baffle.
The worst is fucking with you.
Did you order shampoo and they give you mane and tail too?
Yeah.
It just turns out your profile pictures to the picture of a horse.
It's a horse, yeah.
It was awful.
Crack a baffle.
They're epic.
They don't think they grow on the picture.
There you go.
It's crab apples.
Delicious.
That looks awful.
Looks terrible. I don't know.
It's like a radish, you know, a baffle. That's awful. Looks terrible. I don't know. We need to get radish in the apple.
That's nice.
Yeah.
So that's like one of the most first world problems I think you can have is like, uh, I heard
in my groceries online, they didn't have the apples I wanted.
I feel like a snob.
So what did you say to them?
He said, no, I don't want any.
I don't want any.
Okay.
So I said, well, I don't want them then.
Okay. So I forgot about this. So I replied, I don't want any. Okay, so I said, well, I don't want them then. Okay, so I forgot about this.
So I replied, I don't want them.
Okay, I already checked out, but I will return the apples.
What apples did they get you?
I think they got the red delicious fucking way.
And it's like, why are you guilt tripping me?
Like, you texted me to confirm it.
I said no, and he like, well, I already did it.
Like, okay, well, I have a question though. With Instagram. I said no and he like well already did it like Okay, well I have a question though with Instagram
I return apples
If it's like I don't want apples that people have returned. Yeah, I know that that's a thing
And the cashier is like you're returning apples
I didn't want crap apples
So yeah, I have a question though, because with Instacart,
at least my experience, I don't know if it's different
for other people, but when you're ordering,
you could select, replace this with this
if you don't find it.
Or if you don't find it, don't replace it at all.
You can also have them suggest a replacement.
Right.
Which I think is what was left here.
Oh, okay.
See, I always give them an option.
Is HTTP gonna buy them?
I don't know. They should buy that company.
But HTTP is only in Texas.
I think the InstaCarts more national.
I don't know if I know national.
But then does that mean they can't shop at like
Whole Foods or the other stores they go to?
Whole Foods and HB are in the same company.
No, Central Market is.
Oh shit.
Well, sorry.
Someone on Twitter, Emily Y YY, underscore 31 said,
Gus went from being mad about Apple
to being mad about actual apples.
So, thank you for pointing that out.
He's out of the Apple ecosystem.
Full circle, I'm just, you're just
with Apple.
Crabby.
Crabby, here we go.
When they asked you if you wanted them, did you say nay?
That was good.
That's pretty good.
Thank you, controller. Double punk. I'll try Amazon Prime now next nay. That's good. That's pretty good. Thank you. The control room double punk. I will I'll try Amazon Prime now next week.
I get this fuckers to try to ride it. Oh,
should I put it in? If someone's someone's suggested we order a drone.
With a drone. Could you order a drone with a drone?
Is that possible? We were during RTX this past year.
We had like a Hospitality room for guests my and I was there right when we opened on Friday and I sat down and I looked around the room
And I thought there needs to be music played or something
It's kind of where there's no music so I tried to like go through the the TV in the hotel room
And there's like no music can't you just put on a fuck so using prime now I ordered a bluetooth speaker and
The guy came and brought it like in 30 minutes,
like here's your Bluetooth speaker, great.
I just set it up.
He's like, all right, if everybody wants to play music,
just, there you go.
There's the music.
That is the best part of the future.
It's like, I want something,
someone's gonna bring it to me.
That's a good thing.
And there will be robots soon.
And it will be robots soon.
Actually, now we're doing a stream one time
on the Twitch channel, or she was doing, and I was sitting on the couch next door, but people wanted to talk to me, and we said I would have an adapter I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. I'll be right back. at the house and I was able to like jump on the stream. How? How? It's crazy, right?
It's crazy, that's really crazy.
And that's, it's great.
We're gonna have Xbox Elite controllers on Prime now.
So now I'm kinda screwed.
What do I look at?
They're hard to find still.
They're really short supply.
Yeah, yeah, there's a,
I don't know.
I'm glad to see the people are getting them
because I think they need a high end controller.
I just don't have my broke so easy.
I want to bitch about it, but I don't feel like it's my fault.
Yeah, I don't think there would be that much of a market for our controller that cost so much
It seems like a super high-end item. I think we talked about the podcast before
I didn't understand why there didn't exist before like why aren't there any like two hundred dollar controllers?
Mm-hmm. That is a really nice controllers and the one I like about this is got metal sticks and everything
But the fucking bumper at the top was still plastic and still broke somehow
Motionless, much less. Yeah, it's much more because people people have really expensive mice and keyboards for gaming right and it's like you make sense
Yeah, I feel like people who are into PC gaming are a lot more into that like you buy a console
It's like a couple hundred books like a PC like you're buying like
$100 per component and building like the best thing you can so you know that extends to the keyboard in the mouse as well
Yeah, you know with a console. it's like all of them are the same.
All right, here.
Let me read this.
A guy named Alex on Twitter, I don't want to say his name because he said where he works,
but he says he works at Target and 90% of the time they throw away food when people
return it.
Huh.
That stinks.
That's too bad for apples.
Yeah, so we're gonna grab that for a few days.
So we're gonna grab that for a few days.
Not getting their crab apples.

I appreciate trunk club from the neck down. Yeah, this this part, there's no healthy. There's no face club.
That's what I mean.
I know this like super specific to where we are,
but what the fuck was going on with the weather on Sunday?
It's just fucked up.
It was like that one weather map of Texas,
where it was like nine different zones of weather.
Like this is like snow, this is winter advisory,
this extreme thunderstorm, this is tornadoes.
It was like everywhere and it was like,
it was like right below it all.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was like sitting at home watching TV
then like all of a sudden like my lights just went out for a minute
and came back on and then I just heard like non-stop hail outside.
Well, Dallas got a little roof on my house too.
I'm so, so it was looking awesome.
Dallas got hit really hard by a tornado.
I don't know if you guys saw the damage that happened there.
Yeah, so it was an F4.
I think like 14 people died and like,
I thought like 200 or 300 houses got destroyed.
I mean, I traveled, I was in Dallas this morning.
Oh, jeez.
Yeah, because my flight was like super on Sunday.
So you were there on Sunday, so you saw like...
No, no, no, no.
I was there this morning morning, like Monday. Oh, you were like connected. And there were people though you were there on Sunday, so you saw that? No, no, no, no, no. I was there this morning morning, like Monday.
Oh, you were like connected?
And there were people though that had flights on Sunday
and they'd been there all night.
And stayed the night.
I'd die for Christmas, explain this to you.
How did you end up in Dallas today only?
I flew from, it was a lair.
Okay, there you go.
There, okay.
I was really, I was so confused.
That was really confusing.
You were like, you were dodging the question
for some reason.
So, no, no, yeah.
I flew and I had a lairover in Dallas and I just heard,
I'd never heard more fucks in an airport ever.
Really?
Just from people, no, not like people fucking.
Like just people, they, they had to kill time.
No, it's just one of those things I was like,
I was like, is this, because my plane had been delayed
and they had a different thing and everyone
that was in front of me said fuck.
I've, I've been in O'Hare before and seeing just like where they'll bring cuts out.
And I've seen just like whole sections of the airport filled with cuts.
And it's like-
With people sleeping and stuff?
No, when I saw it, you know, it was like, they were just empty.
Like they knew it was coming.
It's like, just gonna be a lot of people sleeping here tonight.
What airport was it? It was on Reddit today.
There was an airport where they had a lot of delays.
And so they had like a cute little puppy
that they had for people to pet when they got off the plane.
As like a comfort relief or something?
I saw United was doing that like a week or two ago.
Yeah.
And there was one dog I wanted to steal.
It was like they had one dog in Dulles Airport.
It was like, it looked like a little black pug
or peeking ease or something.
I did see that.
Yeah. The one today I think was like a, not a sheba,
but it was like one of those really cute light brown fluffy dogs.
That's like when, when like, you know,
a waitress is being really, really flirty with you.
And you know she's doing it for like, you know,
because she's a waitress and it's like part of the thing.
And tips.
But you still like are into it.
Right.
Yeah.
No, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Waitresses float with me all the time.
Oh, yeah, that's a dog.
Oh, there's all of our, our weather.
Yeah, that's all of our weather, all those different, like, different categories.
I mean, with the first blood, tornado, winter storm watch,
tornado watch, winter storm warning, blizzard Blizzard warning and then Santa Fe's blue.
For some reason it's blue.
And it was like, and then Austin's right below all that mess
and we had hail, nonstop hail.
Well, I say nonstop, 10 minutes hail.
10 minutes hail, nonstop for 10 minutes though.
Oh, that reminds me, I put a blanket over the top
of my truck and I forgot to take it down.
You got a wet blanket now.
It's very, very wet.
Just like Bernie.
Hey. Hey. Hey like Bernie. Hey.
Hey.
Hello.
Hi.
So yeah, I feel like it's been really mild.
It's been really warm, really unusual up until now.
Well, there was a picture someone posted of Texas weather.
And it was, I think it was Friday, was 73 in sunny.
Saturday was tornadoes, Sunday was hail,
and then Monday is like 31 in snow.
So it's like, we went from being in the 70s
to being in the 30s within like four days.
Texas.
I always say it little works.
It was weird to me that we had hail
on this winter storm stuff.
We never got down below freezing the entire time.
Yeah.
Because I was worried about like, how am I going to like,
get to work if it's like the roads ice over in Austin if we get
We don't get much snow on the ground, but sometimes we'll get like a quarter of an inch or an eighth of an inch of ice and that's it
Cities just it's done for we have no ability to deal with that when I've salt trucks or anything like that
So it's like people just slide off the road or winter tires. Yeah
I drove down to the old office in Buda in
Whether like that once just because I was dumb.
It's like, I slid down I-35 for about 40 minutes
to go to work because I was an idiot.
You made it.
Yeah.
Remember we were making the comment to you about one year
when it got like, it was about 33 degrees
and it was raining and it was like sure enough,
people were like flying off the roads
and we were making fun of everyone flat out the roads
and it turned out like Joel had wrecked his car that morning. He just slid it into a ditch.
You know, it's amazing how that happens.
Well Joel's not the safest driver to begin with.
No he's not. He's not. He's got nice cars.
I've never seen you from my life more than when I was in a car with Joel going down the freeway.
How does how do you get into cars?
I don't know.
You open the door? No. That's
typically the most common way to get a stand on the road. If you're in the dukes of
hazard, you go through the window. Well, I mean, I like technology stuff. You know, like
cars, okay, you know, like I like tech stuff, but I have a mind of cars. I don't, I don't know.
I don't know how to get into cars and be excited about engines.
You're excited about robot cars?
Exactly.
Yeah, I like technology.
And I like the idea of not having to deal with cars.
But I remember there was a 10 year period
where the coolest thing about a car to me
was that it had an aux port to plug in my iPod.
And that's really cool.
Yeah, it was more important to me than anything else.
Like just the ability to do that.
I just feel like there are different types of technology.
You know, like one's more classic, like engineering
and stuff like that.
And the other one's more like an electronic and tech technology.
Yeah, but I feel like, I don't know what you're trying to explain it as.
This is a weird thing, but I feel like people who are in the cars
are also into like sports.
Look at Aaron.
Or I don't know.
Well, he's also like fit and stuff.
I don't know. There's he's also like fit and stuff. I don't know
There's something about cars. I'm just missing like that manly factor
Well, thank you
If you're shrunken surged dick, that keeps you from enjoying
I don't know I mean I just yeah, I just want to bypass cars. I don't like cars is the thing
I know the least about yeah like someone could be like what kind of cars. I don't, like cars is the thing I know the least about. Yeah. Like someone could be like, what kind of car is that?
I'm like, it's blue.
Yeah, it's got four doors.
It's a four door blue.
I actually, I was driving at Aaron's the other day,
and he lives like, you know, just out of the office,
but as I was driving there, I was stopped at a stoplight
and I saw two guys breaking into a car.
Oh.
And I was stopped like right next to them and you two guys breaking into a car. Oh. And I was stopped right next to them
and you could tell that they were being really shifty
because one guy was kind of leaning on the car
pretending to be on a phone call
and the other one had a crowbar.
But he was, really was the second dude.
That was the tip off.
And I didn't really make odd content to them
but I saw what they were doing and I drove away
and then I stopped at the next street
and I called 911 and I said that there was a car being stolen.
They were like, okay, can you describe the car?
And I was like, it was a gray, and they're like a light gray or a darker.
I was like, I think it was dark.
It's nighttime, so it's hard to tell.
And they're like, okay, how many doors?
And I'm like, either four or two.
Five, eight, at least one, seven doors.
And they're like, do you know the maker model? And I was just like, I,
Tio-da, maybe.
Tio-da, Tio-da.
Tio-da.
Tio-da.
You're like, all right, we're on our way to the Tio-da.
There's only one of those in town.
Tio-da, sorry, Canadian.
So I'm the same way, like I never really got into cars.
I didn't understand them.
So years ago, I decided to buy an old car,
an old truck, I was like, Jesus.
I'm gonna learn how cars work
because I bought this old truck.
And everything in this truck is very mechanical.
You can figure it out.
It's like there's nothing complex about it.
It's like, oh, the fuel pump has like a lever
that does this and it just pumps.
It's very, a very manual process.
You can trace everything. you push the pedal,
you see how it connects to the wire
and opens the carburetor.
It was a good idea in theory,
but in practice, I just ended up with a broken car.
Claps, you know?
Like a constantly broken car.
And I had to drive around with,
I always had a toolbox in there,
because it's like, it's gonna work.
It was a cool truck though.
Yeah, it was a cool truck.
There was nothing worse. This was years before I got married. It was a cool truck though. It was a cool truck. It was nothing worse.
This was years before I got married.
A long time ago, I remember one night,
I was on a date with this girl,
and we'd gone out to dinner,
and then we're gonna go somewhere else,
and we'd go out to the truck,
and I go to start it, and I'm like,
it's not starting, it's not starting.
Like, don't worry, I'll be right back.
I gotta get my toolbox out, pop the hood out,
and like, start fucking with it, get back in,
and then like it starts like, yeah, it's gonna go in and we're like, my hands are on my card, it didn hood out, and start fucking with it, get back in, and then it starts like, yeah, I think we're like,
my hands are on our covered and it didn't happen.
He didn't fix it.
No, I fixed it.
But I mean, it's like, but I know it's like,
yeah, the date's done.
That's good.
You know that shows that you're capable.
Yeah, no, I think it's a good thing.
You got the truck running again?
Yeah, I think it's a good thing.
Yeah, it just felt like gross.
I was covered in grease and under,
you know, your dress is best in something some
No, I think you blew it for other reasons. I don't think it was because of that
I might have been my my before mentioned face
So that was when RVB like first started to make money when we were we sold the
We started selling the first season DVDs and then
Gus and Jeff they got a paycheck like really for the first paycheck, right?
And then you guys, Gus and Miele goes out and buy this
1955, 1964, that's the same year.
You're like, you're like, you're like,
you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like,
so the 64 truck and Jeff, Jeff had always had a dream
to own a classic Bronco.
He was gonna own a classic Bronco his whole life.
And he was gonna do that finally.
I was like, you know what, go do it.
If you feel like you should do it,
you should go buy a classic Bronco.
Showed up the next day to work with like a 1966 Mustang.
There was a 1966 Mustang.
You remember his year, but not mine?
Take it easy, take it easy.
I'm like lucky guess, there's only so many years.
But I knew your truck was a little bit younger than
older.
Or older, yeah, sorry.
Older than his Mustang.
And his, so like a truck and I said to Jeff, I go,
oh, you got a Mustang, he goes, yeah, yeah.
And I go, what happened to the dream of getting the Bronco?
He goes, I couldn't find anybody.
He couldn't find anywhere.
I was like, he looks like, what?
What?
He looked like 12 hours total.
They just weren't in the top 10 searches on Craigslist.
So that was it.
It was immediately gave up.
There was one he looked at.
I, I, if I remember right, that was one.
And then he sold them us and got a truck just like yours,
but a little bit newer.
Yeah.
The truck was also a 66 for some reason.
And those things broke, your two trucks broke down
everywhere. I was gonna bring a bit of a map on the side of the office
and just pin everywhere where their trucks were broken down.
Yeah, my truck was all over Travis County.
At least your fucking truck didn't do it just did.
Because they kept coming over to my house
to make reverse a blues so much,
I decided to, you come up my driveway
and then there was nothing you'd do
so you'd be able to back down my driveway
so I thought, okay, I'll make a cement parking pad
for while they're here.
So I had this cement parking pad, the company came out,
they poured, it's just like a turn off of the driveway
where they can park.
It was basically like I added like three parking spaces
to the driveway extension.
Yeah, a little driveway extension off the side.
And so it was brand new and everything and it was like,
all right, this is cool, I can handle this.
Then Jeff shows up in his shitty truck,
parts it on the new space and it rains that day.
It covered the entire thing in this rust,
like a huge,
rust thing that was like running off of it as well.
I was just so furious about that.
I'm sure I'm trying to picture of that somewhere.
It doesn't care to do it.
It's beautiful.
I'm sure, probably it's probably on the site somewhere,
honestly.
It was so mad about it. Yeah, it was so, like I said, it was pretty cool. I'm sure, it probably is probably on the site somewhere, honestly. It was so metabodded.
It was a good idea in there.
I learned a bit about cars.
I know how old cars work, but the problem is now cars
are totally different.
If someone had a problem with a car made in the last 30 years,
I'd be like, yeah, I can't help you.
And you help?
I can't help you.
If the car was 50 years old, I can help you.
This car's only 30 years old. Those trucks were cool, man. I really did like them though. Even though they broke down for the 50. Yeah, if the car was 50 years old, I can help you. This car's only 30 years old.
Those trucks were cool, man.
I really did like them though.
They were, even though they broke down all the time.
So I just truck had, the bed of the truck was wood.
It wasn't metal.
The floor of the car made out of wood.
Yeah, the floorboards were old wood.
Yeah.
And that's the way they were made back then.
By out of wood.
Yeah.
Well, not the entire car.
But it was like the bed of the truck.
It's so weird.
By the time I sold it, it ran fine.
Like it didn't break down anymore.
I just want to point that out.
It broke down a lot at first, but it ran a lot better.
So you could get termites in your car.
I think that truck had had termites at one point.
Really?
It was eating up pretty bad.
It was on my list of things to fix,
was to put new wood in the bed. It's a, yeah, they don't it was not pretty bad. It was, it was on my list of things to fix, was to put in your wood in the bed.
It's a, yeah, they don't, they don't make cars like that.
I used to think that it was indestructible, right?
Like if I got in a wreck, like, oh, this, this truck.
You know that, that car is a fucking death trap.
Yeah, because they, they built cars like,
oh, this car will never break,
but because it doesn't bend,
you just, you take all the impact
and you crush, instead of the car. It had you just, you take all the impact and you crush
instead of the car.
It had, the gas tank was in the cab. Like, the gas tank was literally right behind where
I sat. Like, if I took a turn, I could hear the gas sloshing, because it was right fucking
behind me.
It's not a good place.
That's not safe.
It gets punctured.
Oh, I'm covering the gas.
That was my wood truck.
Yeah, my truck is now covered as well.
I hope there's no fire around here.
It's a, yeah, they're not safe.
Time for a smoke.
Yeah, I mean, when I filled up with gas, like, oh, I can smell gas.
It's driving now.
I better roll the window down.
I truck it was like that.
It smelled like gas every time I filled it up.
And it just, by the way, gas feeding Mexican food.
Gas is a buck 45 in Austin now.
Right around the corner.
No, it is not.
It's a buck 45.
It's crazy.
You know that famous image of the die hard thing
with a plane or what's it what's it what's it what?
Is it the Southwest Airlines that crashed
and it's like it came off the runway
and went on the freeway and like it was like,
look at this crazy picture.
And it's like right next to gas
is a cheaply how cheap the gas was
and it was like 79 cents. And I thought we're halfway back to that at this point.
It's like more than halfway back.
If it's we're at a dollar 45 a gallon.
Yeah, I dropped a Houston this weekend for Christmas and it costs like 17 bucks.
You know, it makes me wonder, Ashley asked the question.
She said, so is gas ever going to go back up in price or is now the tipping point where
people are adopting more renewable energy
strategies like was in Norway just said that 100% of their energy comes from renewable
sources and maybe it was Norway who's buying the trash or Sweden's buying trash from Norway
and to burn basically because they have this they have the system by which they burn trash
and it provides all their energy and they just need more trash, essentially.
They don't have enough trash,
so they're buying it from Norway.
And she was wondering, like with electric cars
and everything else,
so we used a tipping point where it's like
the demand for gas at this point
and oil is gonna start to go down over time.
But then I read stories like what's going on
in China right now with air pollution.
I'm just thinking,
the US cars have to be kind of like a drop
in the bucket for that whole thing, right?
Have you read Gus about the air pollution in like Beijing?
Yeah, when they have like a red alert, red alert, they can't go outside because of that.
Did you see there's an artist who did this thing where he walked around Beijing for a hundred
days and he would walk with a vacuum cleaner and just hold the vacuum cleaner like the hose
up in the air to like sucking the air. And after a hundred
days he emptied the bag out and took like all of the smog and shit and just like compressed
it down and made a brick out of it. Wow. It's like imagine that that's what everyone
is bringing there and like it's filtering through their lungs. Wow. That's crazy. And
you know, they just they just turned off their one child policy in China. Oh, they did. But the first time in how many years?
I think they are.
They're really like time-plugged.
In the early 70s, maybe?
Yeah.
What was the motivation behind that?
I think it's a good question.
I didn't have enough people.
Oh, you mean to change it or to do it in the first place?
Do what?
What was the motivation behind ending it
or behind the beginning?
It's starting it, no, no, ending it.
No, that was the pause. that's the long and fast.
It was like, is she talking to me?
Do I have to answer this?
I just say, well, no, ending it.
So I know why they started it.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Just why they ended it.
Yeah, like why, what was the thing?
Did they maybe feel it was like not very...
Why, what's the good up?
Like, we got the internet, right?
I think it's just, no speculation.
Why did China build a great wall? Why, let's look it up. We got the internet. No speculation.
Why did China build the Great Wall?
Why did they devalue the one?
We haven't done Gavin or Google on it.
Why did China end one child policy?
Here we go.
China ends, allows families to children.
So things come up to the wall.
They're up to anti.
Yeah.
Driven by fears that an aging population could jeopardize China's economic
Ascent, the Communist Party leadership ended its decades old quote one child policy on Thursday
Announcing that all married couples would be allowed to have two children. What about unmarried couples?
I don't know apparently. It's like only married people can have kids there
Apparently
Zabba
Barbara
I like the idea of the consumption of baby powder next quarter or next year, she said,
will the birth rate go up?
Yes, will it somehow increase significantly?
We don't know.
So, good luck with that.
I mean, how did they enforce it before?
Just hire taxes?
Yeah, I think you had to pay a fee for the second one.
That was like super prohibitive to almost everybody in the country.
Okay, what was the penalty?
So what happened?
I think it was like $2,500 or something.
What if you just got pregnant?
What?
Could you hide it?
Or like what?
I think they would notice that.
I think, I think it would put a kid through school.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
But what if someone just didn't have money
to pay for the tax?
Like what, they send them, I don't know.
I mean, that usually has to be a birth record for a first record for yeah I know how they find it but like how do they
if someone's like no I'm not paying for my baby wow it they probably get some
sort of like probably get arrested or something like this article from 2010
so when they did a crackdown to enforce the one child law and an unprecedented
crackdown Chinese officials set out to sterilize
10,000 women by jailing their relatives until the women submitted to sterilization.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That's pretty crazy.
Like, they sterilized people who'd had more than two kids.
I guess so.
Or just if they'd had one, they're like, you've had enough.
That's like, you wouldn't.
Probably they probably wouldn't sterilize you until you broke the law.
And you have the law.
And you have breaking law by them.
That's like people who are in jail
for like marijuana based offenses
and you become legal.
You know, it's really,
it's like the same thing.
It's like, oh, I'm sterile now
because this was against the law five years ago,
but now it's not.
You know, it's really weird.
It's like, they could only blame the women for that.
They could like make a do drink a bunch of surge.
You would hide into these surge. You have to think
of Gallagher's surge. It's really really popular in China. That's why it's even
worse punishment. That's why it's playing the average penis says there.
Smaller China. Yeah, yeah. And then smaller even smaller in India. Is that
the smallest? I think so. I think the average in India is two and a half inches
or three inches. A wrecked. I don't know actually what they measure. I think so. I think the average India is two and a half inches or three inches.
A wrecked. I don't know actually what they measure. I think it's flaccid. It's got to be
right. That's ambiguous because flaccid, like you could, okay, I think it's the right
version. Let him talk, Barbara, let him talk. What do you do? I know that's an ambiguous,
like flaccid in ambiguous term or is it ambiguous measurement? It's an ambiguous measurement because if you're a shower or a shower yeah, are you a grower? You're a shower Chris?
I'm a shower. Oh good no no no no no I'm a girl. What does it mean? I don't know?
It's very important Barbara
He just wants to show you
I'm trying to confuse by the terms I'm confused by the terms, right?
A shower means what?
A shower means it looks good.
Flacid.
But.
And direct.
Well, probably both.
OK. Probably both.
And a grower means it's tiny.
It has a lot more for grower than it is.
That means it's more impressive.
Well, yeah.
And then it just grows a lot.
It's like the Hulk.
Yeah, it's Hulk-y.
You don't want to see it when it's angry. Yeah.
But, yeah.
Well, no, no, you know, it's like a,
it's a grower or a shore, like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you think you're a,
I, what?
I don't know.
You don't know.
Well, it's even worse, Chris.
Does it matter?
I mean, not that one or the other's bad.
It's just like, not, no, you would know.
Well, I got, I got confused on the terminology here.
All right.
How big is your philosophy, penis, Chris?
Well, I'm just kidding.
Same thing to us.
I'm getting too big.
I'm lost over here in the Chinese one child policy.
So they did it like an actuary study.
I'm not sure if I'm not sure.
Thanks.
And they determined that the correct population for China should be 700 million.
So the one child policy was set to reduce China's population to 700 million by 2080.
But they're way over 700 million now and they're stopping the policy.
So I guess they can, you know, other factors have come in.
Like we're going to lose 25% of the population to lung cancer, you know, from air pollution
So now we need to have more kids. Sorry. If you guys might you're dick if you guys can find that uh that image of the guy
Vacuuming the air. There's no image. It's it. That'd be great. Yeah, okay. So Chris now
grower or shower
It's isn't a head scratcher Chris. No, I literally scratch in your head. I guess it's one preferable to the other
No, it's not it's like
It's not an embarrassment if you if you're one over the other. Yeah, I was just trying to decide if it was
What do you mean to either it's like really impressive when you get a boner or it's a kind of impressive when you get a boner
Basically, there's what I'm understanding. It's either well, I guess I don't know or
Yeah, not impressive either way
I mean, I guess a grower Or, yeah, not impressive either way.
I mean, I guess a grower. Okay, there you go.
Christopher Maris grower and squire.
Chris grower, Demaris.
Um, all right, there's the guy going around just vacuuming the air.
That's it.
And he got a brick.
I don't know.
He got a brick out of doing that walking around carrying.
Did he move from a place?
Yeah, he just like would walk around with it running.
It's disgusting. Walk around running. Walk around with it running, I just would walk around with it running. It's disgusting. Walk around running.
Walk around with it running, with the vacuum cleaner.
Oh, with it running.
I think I made a huge one.
There's the brick he made.
Or that's it in the mold.
That's the box.
Yeah, that's the mold for it.
Oh, God.
He's emptied it all in there and made a brick out of it.
Gross.
I don't know if that doesn't work.
I mean, you could like,
you should like, everyone in this city has to have a plan to move out, right? I mean, you don't have to that doesn't work. I mean, you know what I mean? You could like, you just should, like everyone in this city has to have a plan to move out, right?
I mean, you don't have to live in a city, like Beijing.
It's northern China has a much bigger problem with it
than southern China, like Hong Kong.
But it seems like you just be like,
I'm moving as soon as possible,
I'm getting the fuck out of here,
because I can't breathe the air.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, I don't know.
But then there's almost like,
it's to the point of like,
space balls, where it's like, how long until they buy like canned air to Right? Yeah, I don't know. It's almost like it's to the point of like space balls. Where it's like how long until they buy like canned air to breathe. Yeah. Yeah. They're
selling out of canned air. God. I've been said it as a joke. No, no, no, it's a thing. Hold on.
Let's look at China canned air. Are they made of called bottled air? Let's talk about places
I don't want to live. No, no. Here's a question though. All right. So you're a single dude in China, right?
Single dude in China.
And it's in, so there's only a one-child policy,
which means there are way, way, way more males.
Okay.
So it's hard to find females, right?
Because that was a thing, that's a thing with the one-child thing.
There was no one in the Screparcy in the channel.
So if you move out to the like rural areas,
the chance of finding a female is way harder.
There's just way less.
Do you see there's more women in the city?
Well, there are more by number.
You'll see more women.
But there's also less men to keep it.
I mean, I think.
Yeah, but like, it's one of the, I read an article, you know, like where there's like people who who live in cities where there's like one female or something
So you move out to the country and there are no women watch out and you move in the city and you can die by the air, but there are women
Die by the air
I got you. Yeah, I get a flashlight. It's something to tell me story about yeah, that's a breathing air. No, okay
I'll read you let me come back. Let me come back to that population thing in a It's something we sell in the story about, yeah, is that someone breathing air? No, okay, so I'll read you.
Let me come back to that population thing in a second though.
So this is a story about canned air,
canned air breeds hot air in Smelly Channel,
what that means.
Beijing, China's Smelly has made masks
and air purifiers the hottest of commodities.
Now a new product is getting all the attention, canned air.
Screenshots of a woman breathing air
from a can went viral on the internet last week
with broadcasts in company BBC reporting that many Chinese residents are
beginning to buy cans of fresh air from Canada. The products come in different volumes.
A bottle that contains 150 breasts costs about $18.50 US. The air comes from the Rocky Mountains
which boasts the purest air and contains, quote, natural energy, according to the company's official website.
That sounds like selling bottled water.
It's a, yeah, we say the same thing.
So if it's bottled, so that's air from Canada.
So if it's bottled at the top of the Rocky Mountains,
it's got less air pressure, right?
So there's less bottled.
Exactly, there's less air.
Yeah, they're getting gipped, they're getting ripped off.
Yeah, look at that, though.
Look at that photo again of like all the bottled air
or canned air.
It's just like, think about how much pollution
bottling air cost.
And then they had to transport it,
in trucks and everything.
It's just like, it's,
it's making the problem,
it's explaining this to cavemen.
A canned air?
Yes.
You know we can't do it.
Yeah, like, no, no, no, no, no.
Now you'll have to pay for air.
It's like a thing in space balls. Yeah, peri air. Yeah, peri air, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no We're talking about male female populations. I know a guy who lives in Canada, we all know this first. And he was telling me about he has a buddy
who lives in the Yukon,
where it's a lot of guys who go up there for seasonal work
and the differential between men and women is significant.
I don't know what it is,
but it's like there's way less women than men.
But it's just like people's habits
and the normal social norms go out the window. And they don't even think about certain things. It's just the way they operate up there.
He said he heard his buddy tell him. He said, Oh, I got to run. He goes, I'll be back in
a little bit. I got to go pick up my girlfriend at her boyfriend's house. And because it's
like it's her other boyfriend. And he just was like, they just share girls. They just
they have they both have the same girlfriend. And's like okay because because you're just happy to have a girlfriend right you're one of the few who has a
girlfriend that has only three boyfriend it's like it's a supply and demand it's
supplying to me yeah it's all this yeah it's like that's such an interesting statement I have to
leave go get my girlfriend at my boyfriend yeah you could have two boyfriends. I could have multiple boyfriends. Let's have hot dudes from the you come
Let's see hot dudes you come
What what percentage of like what ratio is it become a so like a thing where it's like it's cool to have
Multiple boyfriends like at what point?
I mean I would think like yeah, it kind of looks like Aaron
a little bit are you looking at hot dudes?
It's like a bearded dude with a hairy chest. Yeah
You know my type
What's the ratio? Yeah, yeah, like a what point what is the tipping point where it becomes I would say like maybe four to one
Or maybe maybe more you're overestimating men
That's funny is that's actually what I was thinking I was thinking like 80% to 20% so there's like
It's probably I bet it's not even that extreme. I think you're right Chris. I think like that's what I think
If there were if there were if it was 75 20. I mean 75 25. I think it would be a thing. Yeah
because
Men want to have sex that bad. They're like I don't care. You know know, like, yeah, it's three to one at that point. I mean, there's plenty of men.
Where?
What do you mean?
Oh, oh, I seriously think, yeah.
If you close your eyes, it all feels the same.
Right?
Keep your eyes shut.
That was a nice long drink in the gut just joked. I'm out of beer.
So you were talking about Norway and Finland earlier.
Yeah.
Did you read about who's buying trash from who and who's using windmills?
So that's not what I was going to talk about with him.
Did you see that there is a movement by people in Norway to gift a mountain to Finland?
Oh right, it's on the border. Right, it's like a mountain on the border and they want to move the
country's border, redraw it so that Finland is gifted a mountain for the way. I don't know.
Okay, so when you first said that, I was like, how do they ship them out?
The Denmark.
So wind power generates a 140% of Denmark's electricity demand.
Wait, wait, what?
Denmark, 140% of their electricity demand.
They have surplus power from wind in Denmark.
And Sweden's the one looking for trash to buy.
So if you've got any trash, you want to sell it?
See, Sweden.
Get yourself some Swedish cronies for that.
Sweet trash.
So they want to give it to them as an anniversary gift
for the 100 year anniversary of Finland's declaration,
declaration of independence.
I would take that.
Declaration of independence from who?
From Russian Republic.
Really, Finland came from Russia.
In 1917.
Mountain is the same time as the revolution, wasn't it? What was the revolution? I thought
that was early, but it was one. Yeah, we're the ones 1917, so totally not.
Mountain is a generous gift, I think. I think land now is like, I mean, people, there's
no new land to discover, except for like, you can make land, like,
Russian revolution is the collective term for a pair of revolutions in Russia in 1917.
Was it?
Was dismantled the Saurist Autocracy
and led to the eventual rise of the Soviet Union?
I always thought that was like 1900.
It was like the linen going nuts.
How do you make land?
Dude, you're like, I'm sure you've heard about it.
Right, like China's making islands
and the South China Sea to extend their,
they're playing over the third place.
Well, take a female land and a male a male land if they love each other very much
I like you buy those islands those they just dump sand and there's
Japan made an airport out in the ocean. They made they made a island for it. Kyoto Airport. I think maybe is it and then a Dubai
They built these Palm islands, which I thought were just like little like sandbars. It's a fight, it's got like hotels and shit on it.
There, it's amazing.
You ever seen those?
The world?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah, see if you can,
I just can't tell if they make this.
What kind of a airport?
Well, the Palm is a big palm tree.
They see the, that's cool.
And then they have the one that's the world
where it's like a miniature version of the world
but out in the ocean.
That one I think is smaller.
Yeah, I think those had problems.
It's not always permanent and it doesn't always work.
Yeah.
Well, I'd imagine it could just the currents and, you know,
there wasn't land there before for a reason.
You can't speed that process up.
Yeah.
There's a lot of contention over this house trying to see right now
between like the Philippines and the other China.
They're selling China.
The coasts you do buy there before you Chris.
Oh, they're.
Oh, wow. That is like Matt. The coast, Dubai there, before you Chris. Oh, there. Whoa.
That is really cool.
Making Phil giant.
Really good.
Really good.
Where do you live?
Texas.
Finally.
Did you see the footage or the picture that NASA released of, it was like a million miles
out from Earth and it was the moon passing in front of the Earth?
I didn't see that.
Oh, Pat, you see them pull that photo up. That's really interesting. like a million miles out from Earth and it was the moon passing in front of the Earth. I didn't see that.
Oh, Patrick, see me pull that photo up.
That's really interesting.
It's just weird to see a perspective of the Earth
that you've never seen before.
And it was a photo they released just last week.
I don't know what it's from.
I'm assuming from some probe that they sent out.
It's just a photo.
It's a photo of the Earth, but far enough out
that the moon was in the way of the earth and it's really crazy to see it
So I'm assuming Patrick's pulling that I think they're looking for it right now in front of earth
So I mean I I want to ask a question, but I guess I don't want it to be spoiled on to see what it looks like
Space is huge
Space is big there's a lot of space space is pretty big. Yeah It's the final frontier, some say. Well, that in the oceans, because of the
wearing of the ocean.
What?
Well, there's a lot of stuff in the ocean.
I think the oceans are going to be, like, once we can
fully explore the oceans, I think we're just, like, ready
for a huge disappointment.
Like, I think the oceans are, like, 98% nothing.
There's a lot of weird shit down there, though.
Every time they go down, every time they find, I mean,
a lot of it's just weird looking creatures that glow.
Well, hey, you're seeing a lot of things. I'm just going to be like, I'm going oceans are like 98% nothing. There's a lot of weird shit down there though.
Every time they go down,
every time they find, I mean a lot of it's just weird
looking creatures that go like,
well hey, you're seeing the planet earth
stuff in the ocean.
The ocean.
Yeah.
That weird ass looking stuff down there.
I don't know who wants to fight a weird looking fish.
I don't know.
I don't know if there's that much that we're going to like
gain from it other than just weird fish.
So we learned a lot about medicine from rainforests
and natural habitats on Earth.
What's to say that if we explore the ocean
that we won't have more leaps in medicine
and medical technology from finding stuff in there?
Well, I do think we might need juice
everything else to be a pure rock.
So we need new antibiotics or something.
We might also pull some of the kills us.
You know, like some kind of microbe
that can survive in any environment,
you know, it can survive in the acidic or can survive in any environment, you know, it can
survive in the acidic or like super high temperature lava, you know, anything.
Okay, so there it is.
Yeah.
I guess it is.
It guess it is an image.
So that's a series of images that are released.
That is really.
So that's a photo ball.
That's a picture.
Yeah.
So obviously this is the sun is on this side because you see the earth and so you can see
the moon too
That's crazy right it seems like a really bad comp just me just like like really bad at visual effects
The earth is like where's the continents oh
Do you see the reflection of the moon on the earth?
I don't know what that is from the sun. Oh, yeah, okay
Camera is really cool. Okay. Camera explosion. It's so cool. Earth has a sun.
Yeah.
Alright.
Alright.
Alright, hold on.
Let me go over my notes here.
Make sure we cover everything.
Did you hear about the dude who quit his job to become a lawyer and sue
spammers?
He got so much spam at work.
He was sick of it.
So he started suing filing small claims, lost you to again spam companies.
Then his spare time is a hobby.
And then he started making enough money because a quit his job went to law school and now that's
what he does full time.
Let's all do that.
He won, this is funny.
His name is Bal Sum.
He was once awarded $1.125 million in a verdict against a pornography company that had
sent him $1,125 emails.
I think it's $1,000 per email.
He was not able to collect the judgment however,
because the domain registrar, two cows,
refused to identify the owner of the company
that had sent all the spam.
So there was no way.
You think legally they would be obligated.
Yeah, but I was like,
I like the fact that two cows is like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no you know, but they literally he's awarded a judgment against this company, but can't get the money because he can't
like get to the company. He can't get to the actual physical.
That's bullshit. That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
So did the company not come and defend themselves in court? They must not have been there,
right?
Right. Or it was a client that to what was it? The site to cows.
To cows. Yeah.
The other collection of win socks. Never cows? Two cows, yeah. The other one.
The collection of win socks off.
Never heard of two cows.
No.
No, to make collection of what?
Win socks off.
Win socks off, yeah.
That's exactly it.
Two cows was a site that you would go to to get like, in the early days of the internet.
Trumpet win soccer.
Or udora.
Udora.
Udora.
I did get Udora a few times from two cows.
Let me see if two cows are still there.
I literally know.
Back in my day, we had to walk uphill for our email.
Both ways.
I see two cows is still going.
Of course they are.
You just said they wouldn't fucking handle or someone's.
Yeah, two cows here.
They've got the same fucking logo.
It's got that kind of cows.
You could down with free wear from there.
What would you have if you just got a job at two cows?
Like after you know,
it was gays and falls apart.
And you got like, you go and apply,
you get a job at two cows.
I had no idea that they still existed
Yeah, I'm like porn. It's not porn. It's a domain registrar. Oh, it's like doggie or whatever same thing
All right, we need to cut it out. I'm gonna wrap it up
You two cows started in 1993
I remember what we're gonna talk about on the post show. We'll figure it out. Okay. Oh, they're Flint Michigan
I didn't know that. I thought they were talists.
It's weird.
Yeah, before we leave, one of the favorite things
you can go look this up yourself.
You remember the whole Steve Harvey thing?
With the Miss Universe?
Somebody applied this like very small meme trend online.
They applied this thing where they use the
end credit music from a curb your enthusiasm.
Oh, yeah. They showed me that a couple days ago. They applied that over the top of the Steve Harvey. That's really good. this thing where they use the and credit music music from a curb your enthusiasm
and show me that a couple days ago.
They applied that over the top of the Steve Harvey
that's really good.
Maybe last time.
What's your curb your
Miss Universe?
Curb your Miss Universe.
Yeah, kind of made me laugh so hard.
And then also David Tennant used a guy's skull on stage.
That was his last wishes.
He wanted his skull to be used in a production of Hamlet.
And so David Tennant used this dude's skull
who died in a production of Hamlet. I don Tennant used this dude skull who died in a production
Hamlet. I don't know how to feel about that. I think like that's weird. That's awesome. That's pretty badass. That's a cool
That's cool. I was the guy's name was York. Yeah, that would be too cool, but I'm not sure if it was no your
So anyway, so yeah, he was dying. Everyone gets there 15 minutes in a production of Hamlet. So David Tennant did it all right
See you all later. Dr. Strang is coming out. No one cares Do you like apples? Describe the show to a newcomer in a more familiar way.
Do you like apples?
