And also Gus. Hello everyone, welcome. we're here to talk with each other.

See how things are going. Check in. Have a nice little one-on-one conversation. Actually, I'd like to talk to you. Either counseling or like Sunday school. Tell me more about that, Chris. A little bit of us. I don't want to.

It feels group counseling. I think it was the hand clasp and the soft voice. Okay, everyone, we're going to do a little bit of chatting with a little grief. Let's get into it. Yeah. Let's, let's, let's, let's get to the core of the, of this, of this issue. No, we got, we had a lot to talk about. This episode I feel like there's a lot going on at Ruchiteath. There's a lot going on in the world. A lot going on in the world. I'm a little more concerned with these four walls,

but yeah, there is a lot going on in the world at large. What's that called? I was just counting the walls, it being like, well, I don't know, kind of depends on what you consider a wall, because these are fake walls. Well, they're facades. Yeah, so there's more than four walls.

I just want to put that on. I wouldn't call that a wall though. All right, there are more walls or doors in the world? I want you to put down some of your walls. This is a break them down. Not every wall has to have a door. Not every wall has to have a door. That's fair. Exactly.

That's fair. Oh, I see a chat. Isaac89TX already is asking about the new black box down shirt. It's not available in the story yet. It's coming out next week. It's nice. But on a tour, Chris has our new black box down mug. That's also coming out next week.

Actually, I really like that stuff. Yeah, I was admiring the shirt earlier. Yeah, it's like, if you read a sectional chart, like the background of this mug is like a sectional chart that you use when you're flying. This logo on my shirt and that logo on the mug is like, what would be like your VOR information that you use for navigation? It's like all fictional for Black Boxdown, but you can see like on this mug, the Austin Airport right there.

I don't know if you have, how closely you've looked at it, it's right there. Oh, I hadn't looked at can see like on this mug the Austin airport right there Mm-hmm. I don't know if you how closely you looked at it. It's right there. Oh, I hadn't like that. It's the Austin airport right there It's pretty cool. It comes out next week. I think it comes out next week But we're we got it early because we know someone who works on that podcast You got a guy on the inside before Before We we get into the meter everything when I guess guess the first thing I want to talk about is, that's Red versus Blue.

That's Rooster Teaser Relay. It's Red versus Blue. I'm looking at Sean's Red versus Blue shirt over there. Hi, Sean. We brought Sean on to do a little bit of talking about Red versus Blue and plans for Red versus Blue. You got a round of applause. I knew we got a round of applause. Hey guys, here you go.

Thank you. I haven't seen Sean in three years. I know, I feel like people. I'm in a place of people in it. This is amazing. And it's not my family who are like legally bound. They have proud there. They have to pay attention, yeah.

Yeah, well to have you on, you put out a letter or like, what would you call a letter to the community about Red versus Blue, the other way? A little post. Yes, yeah, I've been doing little letters to the community ever since like summer of last year. And so I owed them an update on what was going on with red versus blue. And so that's what I posted. I guess it would be about two weeks ago now.

Well, I did let her say for those of us who, you know, didn't read it or just enough. Or can't read. Say I did read it, but you want to remind me. Yeah, if I were to be illiterate or something. Thanks for the segue. I appreciate that. So we've been going on a journey like these last two years with a new creative team behind Red versus Blue.

And that led to things like Red versus Blue 0 and family shatters. And so this was sort of an update and also a bit of a reset for our relationship with the audience and also where that creative team's going. I think the big headline here and the thing that we wanted to own right out front is that we're not going to be pursuing a continuation of the Shatter Squad story.

You know, for now, we feel like we've been able to tell as much as we can and would encourage anybody that's interested in what's going on with Shatter Squad to watch the existing content. It's up on YouTube right now or you can watch on RT. Oh, yeah. And then, you know, a big part of, I think, the thing that we really wanted to lean into was the next 18 months is leading up to the 20th anniversary of the show.

And that's sort of a huge milestone that we want to both acknowledge but also contribute to and be respectful of. And so, you know, we're gonna go back to basics. Make fun YouTube shorts, bring the blood Gulch crew around. I don't know, Gus, have you been in a sound booth lately? Have you been recording some VL? We've been doing some VL for the Halo TV, or the Halo Paramount Plus series.

So yeah, but I was always happy to jump in the sound booth. It's really easy. It's the easiest thing you can do. It's also just your voice. Yeah. You are Simmons. For me, yeah, it's just, you know, I'm not doing a voice or anything.

They're like, can you read this to Simmons? Like, well, yeah, I'm just gonna read it. It's like with you. It's like with you. You just see your voice, right? Yeah, yeah. Which is funny, because we were just at a convention as we can quick side.

But like every time I meet someone, they're like, you sound just like yang. Like oh my god, I hear yang when you talk. I'm like, yeah, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, lintz is a little bit, there's a voice, right? Pretty much, yeah. Whenever, whenever someone asks me to do like a Simmons quote, it's always, yes, sir. Okay, but could you give me the quote? Yeah, but that's the easiest, the easiest possible one. So moving forward, do you know like are you going to be using Halo Infinite or what's that going to look like? So that's, you know, anybody who's

been following sort of Halo Infinite knows that Microsoft and 3.3 are also sort of having to reset a little bit. I think they came out perhaps a bit too early for what the fan base wanted out of like a full Halo experience, though I also think they're not giving enough credit because half of that game is free, so it's hard to complain, at least in my opinion.

So we've been working with them very quietly behind the scenes. We are basically coming into their second flight for community members able to have access to Forge, and we are more or less beginning the testing process and working with them to figure out both, you know, what tools could we use from the existing version of Forge to tell our stories as well as what tools can we ask them for in the meantime. As you talked about, we're fortunate enough to get to help promote the silver timeline on Paramount Plus. So we get to hang out with the original Blood Goal Crew for basically four recap episodes.

And that's allowing us to both bide some time while we figure the rest out. We're also getting a chance to write for those characters more and making sure we're capturing that voice. I think some of the lines I've had to read are really funny. I think Andrew wrote those scripts and like I had to pause. There are VO sessions a few times because I thought the lines he came up with were really, really great. Well, and I've heard that you guys have stuck to the script which I know sometimes. That wasn't always the case, so we must be doing something, right?

That's a Matt deal. I'll read what you put in front of me. I'm easy. I'm a monkey. You really put it in front of me already, too. But you dance? No, no dancing, just for you. They could be easily exploited later, so I'm going to remember that

Guss will read anything. Yeah, if you put lines in front of me, I'll read them. Guss has sung and danced for us in recent production. Oh, yeah. You can get him to do a lot more. And then, I think, going forward in the short term, it'll probably be a lot more sticking with Halo 5 as we explore some PSAs, and we're thinking about doing

some more short-form content, potentially with Griff and Simmons, something new that we haven't tried before. I'll offer that, I like more Simmons. Yeah. And then longer term, like part of that infinite experience is going to be like, how do we do some plus-top stuff? You know, how do we do maybe like a cool mini-series that extends those plot threads that exist from previous seasons or even get into more of an infinite cadence where we're able to make bi-weekly content.

Well, I think we've done some stuff like that in the past where you take little threads and expand on them and do many series like I think about like, out of mind and like series that aren't necessarily in the core seasoned canon but are still impactful to the story like they're adjacent to your main seasoned storylines. Totally.

And in fact, right now, as well, in addition to the Halo Paramount Plus recap stuff, we're re-releasing all those mini-series as complete videos on YouTube. So out of mind came out last week. And it's either where there's a wall or there's another one that should be coming out this Friday. I think out of mind might have been the first HD production we did for Red versus Blue because our hard drives weren't fast enough to capture HD back then. So we had to buy special hard drives to capture high-deaf video.

What a long journey it's been. Yeah. What? Yeah, we had to buy super special, super expensive hard drives to be able to make that so that we could capture. You could make it steep, but not capture it. Yeah, it's like your hard drive didn't spin fast enough to write the data.

So we had to buy specialized high-end hard drives that could write data fast enough to capture it. Isn't it crazy for you guys to think about how Red versus Blue is going to be 20 years old, like soon? Yeah, it needs to pack it shit up and move out of my office. Go to college, find a roommate. I mean, it's crazy for this creative team, too. And that's part of the reason why,

well, we are going back to basics, right? And exploring more blood-goal to crew and telling more short-form stories. It's the same crew that brought you zero. It's the same crew that brought you family shatters. And they have a deep respect for the legacy that they have the opportunity to play around in. And so that's why it's an opportunity for us to slow down a little bit and reassess and make sure that we're doing the best thing

we can also celebrating that 20th anniversary. You guys everyone are bringing Jadson back like I won't. Hey, I remember that she was a big fan of Simmons and if we do more Simmons focused content. What did he use fan of him is? I just sat all over this microphone. If you need like a teen a teen tween boy character. Oh, Kaylie, you know I've been advocating to get you in a show for a minute, so we're gonna make that work.

You would play a good tween boy. I would, yeah, yeah. Feel like you have almost like the Bart Simpson kind of boys you could do. I could hit that. Yeah, that's my impression. You can have a new catchphrase. Don't have a cow dude.

Whoa. You got it, you right here. Nailed have a cow, dude. Whoa. You got it. You right here. Nailed it. Yeah. That was right. It's in the movie. Yeah, wait a minute. We just wanted to have you on for a little while.

Talk a little bit of Red versus Blue. Give the community a bit of an update. So thanks for coming out. It's after hours for some people here at work. But it's our podcast time. So we appreciate you taking time to come sit in with us. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate you guys. Thank you Sean.

Have a great show. And if people wanted to read the posts they're on the community site. They're on the community site and they're on my personal Twitter or not to plug but at Sean Lines. Check it out. Thank you Sean. Thanks everybody. Thanks everybody.

Good. Man, clapping for coming and going. You know all about that Chris. Man clapping for coming and going You know about that Chris I think from now on whenever we're in the office and Chris gets to work We should all just clap giving a lot of And then he's leaving for the day There's something bad about people clapping you leaving because it's kind of like celebration of No, it's like when the band's done and you clap when you're Yeah, but if you weren't performing if people just clap when you leave

Like if you're just like sitting there and people start clapping as you leave I would argue that we're always performing Yeah, you're always on to some degree. I mean we are content creators allegedly Somersay some would say Speaking of content survive block out the first episode of Survive Block Island finally came out last week. We can finally talk about it a little bit. I also wanted to ask you guys, should I don't think we should necessarily spoil what happened in the episode? Because I know the plan is to have the first episode go free this week. Oh, okay. This episode two comes out for first members. Oh, I didn't know that. So people are going

to be able to see the first episode for free, and then I believe the rest of the series is first exclusive. If you're going to, if you think first membership is worth anything, I think it's the show. Like I would bet you. And it's a bonkers first episode. Oh my god. Like what a great hook for the rest of the season.

I don't think, like, that couldn't have been planned that way. Like, everything just came together so perfectly in that first episode. Well, and people aren't familiar. It's like a similar format to something. It's like a survivor in Minecraft. It's like a reality show where we're all in Minecraft playing the game, but still like it's a reality show that we're all on an island.

Yeah, there was something that essentially, there's things planned for what happens at the voting ceremony essentially, like what happens if there's a tie or if this happens, and something that they had planned to happen if one case scenario happened, actually happened the first episode. It seems like it would impossible for it to happen and it did.

He had as a contingency and then it happened right off the bat. Yeah, I remember, because, you know, obviously it's all in the moment, it's had as a contingency and then it happened right off the bat. Yeah, I remember because, you know, obviously it's all in the moment. It's not scripted. So I remember it happened. And I think you got cut from the file episode, but I stood there and I started laughing. I was like, we broke your game. And they were like, no, no, no, we actually have a contingency for this.

And I was like, oh, man, they really did think it through. Yeah, that's fun. I think like essentially it's like a love letter to survivor. There's a lot of things that are very similar to it, obviously. Toadms. Toadms. Toadms. There were so many times just to peel back the curtain a little bit on this. When we are filming the show, there are things, terminology people used that is typically used in survivor like naturally, like immunity idol instead of toadm or like. Toadmull and dying, yeah, stuff like that, where we would say it. And then we would have like a producer come in

over the comms and be like, yeah, that's a totem. And shit. So like stuff like that, we just had to correct ourselves in conversation, and it was just edited around, but it's funny. It was funny, like taking part in something like that. You know, the first episode was what, like, 35, 40 minutes, something like that.

About 35, yeah. And there was so much that was cut, like, so many storylines and so many things that went in different directions. Oh, yeah. And I can't wait. I was hoping we could get to a point where we could talk about something about today,

but I guess if we don't want to spoil anything, maybe. The spoil is. Maybe we should talk about it. I feel like maybe as long as you don't spoil who gets voted out, the first episode, I think, maybe it's okay or what. So what I can say is, no, I don't want who gets voted out. The first episode I think maybe it's okay or what. So what I can say is, no, I don't wanna risk it.

Okay. So that's it. No matter how I say it, you can infer if someone's safe or someone's not. So I don't wanna risk it. Yeah, it is insane how much footage there is from every episode and I'm hoping down the road we could put out like bonus content of things that happened. I still have all my footage. Like from every episode. And I'm hoping down the road, we could put out like bonus content

of things that happened. I still have all my footage, like from in the moment we were capturing our perspective and our audio and everything. So I've still got that view at least. But I mean, just to cut it down for time, you had to really be picky and choosy with it. But I mean, even the first thing that happens in the game

is we all get divvied up into two teams. And like there's a whole thing of like them reading out our names and us going the different sides and reacting and stuff like that, which had to just be cut down to like, all right, here are the teams. So and so and so and so and so. Yeah, that was like an hour of filming. And then it was like, this done. But it's like it didn't need it.

You know, like there are certain things we're after watching the episode. You're like, okay, this is tighter. It makes sense. You don't really need all that fuff around it, fuff, whatever you want to say. Fuff, fuff, fuff, fluff. Yeah, but it was, it was when I felt like the whole time I was watching, I had a knot in my stomach again, just like being so stressed out. Oh, like from the challenge.

Yeah, from the challenge. And, you know, just seeing everything, like, oh, like what I don't want to I don't want to get eliminated it was it was stressful to watch for me yeah it's tough because you know in STF we're in our new office now which has been awesome but we're all in the same room and our computers are against the wall so like everyone could essentially see what everyone's doing if you look around. And I've been reviewing some cuts of some episodes, just because I'm on like part of the team that reviews stuff at the company.

And I was watching one of the last two episodes of the show. And I was making sure Kayla and Blaine didn't see any of it because you guys weren't part of the production. And I want to make sure like they get to enjoy it and actually watch it because people don't know. Even internally internally we were discouraged from talking about it after the production wrap Yeah, you know literally nothing about what happened and I feel like that's more enjoyable for everybody Not knowing what happens because like there's some stuff we film internally where like everyone knows the outcome Yeah, you know the winner

for things because people you're like well who won yeah But now there's like, no one will tell us. Oh, I know. It's something to get a watch. Yeah. I know, like, even during production, when it was going on, people who were eliminated were messaging people who were still in the show. We're like, what happened?

What's going on? Tell me. I know that during the production, Jeff was there as kind of like, you know, a survivor, aficionado, to also like help with the story, or not help with the production, Jeff was there as kind of like, you know, a survivor, a fishinato to also like help with the, or not help with the story, but like see what's going on with the story and to give advice on like how to say certain things or do certain things. And he told everyone that he was essentially just like

watching it like a reality show. And he would get home every night and tell Emily, his girlfriend like, oh my god, and then this happened. And then I thought it was important to this thing and like it was just as enthralled with it as he would be a normal reality show. I thought that was really sweet.

Yeah. And I think, like, the important thing to remember that I think I see recurring a lot in the comments, like, is that it's not scripted. I can't imagine how you would script something like this and have everyone stay on book. It's like, no, it's like you're getting people's reactions. I think it's when they see like the talking heads. It seemed weird to them, but it's like no, we were being interviewed. Like we were getting pulled out in the

moment, like teleported away to another location, interviewed and then teleported back. It was scary. It was scary to think about that inside of a game doing a talking head segment. You know, it was, but also the way it was done and the whole the Essentially when someone went away for an interview it was like their soul got sucked away and it's just their body It was like it was like an avatar the You know the blue people one where you know like they get yanked out of the machine and Then also the avatar goes limp. Yeah, and you know it was like that because it'd be like someone the machine, and then also the Avatar goes limp. Yeah. And it was like that. Because it'd be like someone's talking,

and then also go, yeah. So it would just get pulled out. Oh, it's, it was great. I also saw some comments that were just like, yeah, the reason I thought this was like machinimated or something like that is because everyone's really good at articulating their characters, like doing the head bobbing and stuff like that.

And that's something that before the production even started, we were kind of like meeting about it, and this says, oh, something to keep in mind, like as your character's talking, like, move the head, and like, or if you're excited about something, like jump or bounce, or like do something to, like, essentially animate your character, so you're not just like standing there talking.

Any time before we started filming, they would remind us that. Don't forget, you have to emote your character, you have to move and yeah convey emotion. I don't think there's anyone better at doing that than Charlotte Yeah, Charlotte fucking killed me She's so funny so fucking funny and I know I will like never stop singing her praises, but holy shit. She was Every every time I log into Tiktok first thing I see is one of her unhinged posts and it's my favorite thing. It was a post about Tom just

today that just like sent me into a tizzy for no for no reason. Oh my god. It was just first thing I saw 9 a.m. and it was just Tom's and Charlotte. Our Tom's bad. Tom's? Are they bad for your bad and what way? I don't know I just heard they were bad for you. Like they're okay. They're like a short term. It's kind of like um I don't know. Like put in they were bad for you. Like, they're okay, they're like a short term. It's kind of like, I don't know. Like, put in Drain-O, it can melt your pipes, if you do it too much. It can melt your pipes.

Like your internal pipes? No, that sounds insane. I'm not talking about it. Okay. I think too much Drain-O in your pipes can be bad because it can melt your pipes. It's like, you know, and I think Thumbs might be the same where you're not supposed to,

you might fix a short term. House plumbing? Well, no, you're stomach. Tums are good for acid reflux. Yeah, I know. So I guess it's a really bad analogy because the opposite is like, it's like a base, one's acid, but I think it's bad for you

over time. Aren't they both bases? Yes, because they have to neutralize the acid. Yeah, but I thought, but drain of the acid. So drain of the bases. It's not the bases. What? Yes, drain of the bases neutralize the acid. Yeah, but I thought but drain. No, drain. It's a base. What? Yes, drain.

It's a lot. It's a lot. Yeah, bases can burn stuff to you. You lie. It doesn't only. Assets are the only things that can't be. Yeah, I guess it's true. It's true.

Man, that's crazy. I didn't know about drain out like that. Well, I also know when you buy drain, it's like, do not ingest. If you get it anywhere near your mouth hole, and terms are free to go to a hospital. Yeah, but it sounds good for you long term. I don't think anything's good for you. Yeah, I think you're taking any medication longer

than a couple of days. It's indicative of another problem. Bigger issue. So you've got to wake up and use a band-aid every morning. Yeah, you should probably get that wound. This doesn't seem right. Yeah, yeah. Man, talk about wounds that just keep getting worse.

Uh, go on. Did I tell you, did I tell you all about booger? I was foot, he told me. Okay, so I mean, I know he had a foot stain. So, so, so, so great. So he, my dog broke his toe. Broke his toe. Broke his toe., broke his toe. Oh, great. So, my dog broke his toe. Broke his toe. Broke his toe.

He broke his toe. I don't know how, he broke his toe. He was in the backyard. Is it because he was like limping? Is that how you were able to tell? Yeah, I noticed it because he was limping. He went out the backyard and was like pooping and stuff.

All he does out there is like poop, sniff around, and bark at the neighbor dogs. So, I don't know. But he came back in and he was like limping. I was like, what did you do out there? He stopped just throwing a rock. And he was like, well, I was running to catch the squirre. Well, he could have been a squirrel,

but my theory is he, he likes to, he sees they bark at each other. They love like running around at the bark of the fence. I think he like jumped up the fence, maybe got a toe caught. Maybe, yeah. And then it pulled and then it broke, I don't know, so he broke his toe.

Which paws it on? It's back, right. Back right, toe. So I was like, and I was like, he don't know, so he broke his toe. Which paws it on? It's back, right. Back right. Okay. So I was like, and I was like, he limped for an evening, and if I was like, if it's still lumping in the morning, I'm taking the vet, was taking the vet, they're like, yep, broke toe.

All right, put a cast on it. All right. So small. You know, a cone. And then what happened is, well, this was like third in the last week he He he the he got out of his like he's like slipped out of his comb Just because you know like it's not tight enough for something. Yeah, yeah

He got it off and he was like chewing on his His little cast not long and I was like stop it, you know, like, you know, I got his comb back on. He just pulled out some of the gauze. Like, he'd like chewed a little, like, the just very tip of it. It was too. And then pulled out some of the gauze, and I was like, and I just cut the gauze off.

And I was actually going to get it, had to go for a checkup soon anyway. So they're going to redo the cast anyway. And it wasn't bad. And it was just like a tiny little thing. So gauze. And then the next day, I was like, he was like acting weird the next morning.

And I was like, what do you, what's, you know, and he was like, and then he wasn't walking on his cast at all. He was like, I was like, something's wrong. And I could tell it was bothering him. And I was like, I'm just gonna, I could tell it was like, I was like, he's hurting, I'm gonna open up this casket.

I see what's wrong because if it's like, you know, I open it up, and he had pulled the gauze where it had been, he had, what do you call it, cut off the circulation. Oh, like it was really tight. Yeah, when he pulled the gauze, he tightened it. He tightened it. I thought it was gonna be like bloody pussy. No, but he had tightened it, but he had like,

you know, he wasn't getting circulation to his paw. And so I was like, oh my, like I was in a meeting. And I just like disappeared. You fully turned your camera off and then two minutes later you're like, I gotta go to the book. I knew it was serious because we talked about Chris getting free food and he didn't reply.

He didn't reply. And I was like, oh shit, like something's wrong. Chris isn't listening. And then so I was like, you know, and so I was like, oh shit, like something's wrong, Chris isn't listening. And then it's all like, you know, and so I was like, I was worried, like, I don't know how long. I mean, I knew he'd been a while since he pulled it, but he hadn't been like, you know, crying, really loud or anything. Yeah. It was more just in the morning where he was bothering him. And then, so I was like, but I was like rushing to the vet. I was like, I don't know, what if they have to cut off his, I was like, what if they cut off his foot or something because they'd been like,

how's it gonna jump through windows? I know. Right? Or right in the other part. Or big. Yeah. It was fine. They didn't have to do anything.

They only got, it was still swollen and purple for a bit. And then, Oh, poor bugger. Yeah, no. And they put them back in a cast and it gave some medication that swelled down, like infected anymore and then... But then I think it swelled up some more so I had to take that cast off again so I'm just like, the dog won't heal.

Yeah. Like it's a little bit. It felt like it was a broken toe and now it's a broken toe that like became a swole. It got the other problem. It felt like it was a broken toe and now it's a broken toe that like became a swamp. It's like it's just an escalating stuff. What is that thing called the cat? You eat the swall the fly, eat the spider, or the fly. I'm like he's gonna keep escalating his injury to the point where it's like. You got don't give that mouse a cookie. You need you need to recast him. Yeah. Yeah. See if I had my room shotcast him. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see if I had my... Room shot.

Put him in the shot. I would hit it. Yes. Excellent. Excellent. I like. I am man. I have been wanting a dog for so long.

See, you and me, Kayla, have been talking about this for a while, but like, it... I am so lazy. And it just... I know. It's so much work. It is so much responsibility. It's so much. And it's like... It's where it is so much responsibility. It's so much and it's like it's like a two year old. I heard there's a friend of mine who said that she was talking to her friends who had

both dogs and newborn babies in recent years. And they asked which are more complicated or more difficult. And she said honestly like it's hard to toss it's a toss up between like a puppy and newborn puppy and newborn baby. Obviously babies. There's a whole nother level. Yeah. You got to keep this thing alive, but same with puppies too.

Well, you can put a diaper on the baby, and that's like half of it. Yeah. It can't get far. No. Yeah. But the problem is if you don't take care of the baby, you're going to get arrested. Yeah. The consequences are for the upper generation.

You also should also get arrested if you don't take care of the dog. Yeah. I mean, the thing about a baby is though, it's like they're not gonna like... They're not running around. Yeah, they're not gonna jump out the window. They're not gonna shoot on your carpet. Or your car.

I guess they could. They could might go out your window. I don't know what you're talking about. A baby? A newborn baby? Yeah, crawl right out your window. No, like an infant. Infant.

They crawl out a window? How low are your windows? I'm gonna, it's happening. I'll show you out your window. No, like an infant. Infant. Can you crawl out a window? How low are your windows? Let me, let me, if it's happening. How's showing you your baby? I'll hold it. To that chair cladden. Oh my God. How old is the baby?

You remember the song, Tears in Heaven? It's about a kid who fell out of a window? What the what? None of these people are here. You all don't know this? This isn't a story that anybody knows? No! Yeah.

What happened, bad? I guess you had a kid kid who like crawled, like a young kid who like crawled in a lot of a window of a tall building in New York, I wanna say? Oh my God! That's why he wrote the song Tears in Heaven? What the fuck?

They're crying in Heaven? Yeah! I don't mean to laugh at it, I'm just like shocked that you guys have never heard that story. No, so, so, so, have never heard the story. It, it, the baby just like, I don't mean to laugh at it, I'm just like, shocked that you guys have never heard that story. No, so, so, so, have never heard the story. The baby just like, I don't know. Did it fall and hit someone or something? Like what?

What, hang on, what? No. Ca, a window. Yeah. It was, it was like a high rise. Yeah. So with someone just walking down the street and then I'll send a baby fell.

And they're like, oh my God, a baby just fell. It was like, and it's famous. I think you're missing the, the point of this story. I mean, well, I'm just, I'm just, I my God, a baby just fell through it. And it's famous. I think you're missing the point of this story. I mean, I'm just, how do we get in the Hungry Park? I mean, I was just thinking about one aspect of it. I think we covered, this podcast is weird.

This is the vibes of this is insane right now. This isn't as off today. There's something happen. Should we, anyways, you're on the dog. Dog, lot of responsibility, not trying to compare it to a human child. I'm just saying what a friend of a friend said that is very difficult to have a newborn pup

and raise it, lot of responsibility. And then also like all these fuck it, like everyone I know who has a dog has had their dog like health issues. And like having to take them to the vet or the hospital or like doing all these things. Some of that's just life. Yeah, that just happens with dogs. I only

have to worry about me and Trevor. Yeah. Also, you know the boarded dog and they were like, finds one to watch a dog. Yeah, we traveling a lot. I get a walk them so much. Which is like, yeah, always. Sorry, I just saw those. The kid was sorry. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, I in fact, I I had to take Oswald to the vet last week. He had to get dental work. And then as long as he was being put under, he had some little growth signs of back removed. And then when I got him back,

he was stitched up, it had staples in his back. Like holding the wounds goes, like, what happened? I thought it was just gonna be a little snip and you'd be able to take them out and they're like, yeah, you know, we have to cut and make sure we get all the tissues. They're gonna get you dogs so small. He's tiny like yeah, you know We have to cut and make sure we get all the tissue is like she dogs so small He's tiny. I know and I have to give him like medicine and 20% staples Yeah, he's like smaller than that thing right?

He's about this he might be a little Long about here. It's a dump dump the podcast cat No Forever I've never seen this is my first time on the set I've only ever been on the set that was the temporary set. And I've never seen this fucking thing in my life. We talked about this last week, by the way, Gus, when you were not here.

Yeah. We talked about what we want to see out of the new set. Oh, okay. Did you... What are you thinking for when we redo this podcast set? Because we're thinking about it. Yeah. It's time to redo it.

This set is old now. Yeah. Oh, it's time for a refresh. Okay. I think refresh Sorry, I just want to wait too many subway commercials subway refresh What do you want to see out of it less wobbly table? Less wobbly table. That's always able to be nice Little mini fridge mini fridge. We had a mini fridge in the annex remember

The one that had a rat. Yeah, the one that had a rat in it. Oh, the one that leaked all over our meeting this week. Yes, yes. So the rat fridge, I said, hey, Gus, is that the rat fridge? And he was like, yes, in this Kayla, I'll show you where the rat was. And then he turned it around. And as soon as he jostled it slightly, it started leaking fluid into a pool on the floor and it changed the scent of the room. Then the meeting room stayed. And then we moved to our new office.

It was our final goodbye. We're like, okay, bye, thanks for the facility. In my defense, I cleaned it up. I waited a bit. We got people in the house and I let facilities go right away. The rule messes when facilities removed it and then it left a stream throughout the room. Yeah. That felt so bad.

We made a mess, it was an asset. This episode of the RST podcast brought to you by Chime. No one likes waiting on a paycheck, especially when you got bills due. A good thing there's Chime.

We have those and numbers here. And then also final request. I want the

shittiest ugly is looking over the ear can headphones and everyone has to wear them and the mic must subscure three-fourths of your face and body. And also no one can be over five six. Have you watched, Joe Rogan? I feel like you've watched a lot of Joe Rogan experience. I've actually, so there's strangely split-scippers. So here's the funny thing. I've never seen Joe Rogan experience. I've never watched. It's all what you assume. It's like, or have So here's the funny thing. I've never seen Joe Rogan experience.

I've never watched. It's all what you assume it's like or have you seen. I've seen thumbnails. And I've seen clips that people have shown like 20 seconds of and then talked about. In chat, friend, the person says we need chimps on DMT. Yeah, chips on DMT. Chips? Yeah, chips on DMT.

That would be awesome. They need DMT to... Chips invented DMT. Yeah, they put drugs in the monkey bro. What? Yeah Chris is learning a lot today. I saw someone in chat that was like oh so Barber just wants to like an researchy podcast version of the off topic set Yeah, make your head and honestly like you guys have all done off topic like it's nice It's a fun set to be on because like you could standing, you could kind of like move around a little bit,

go in and out, like make sure, and it keeps the energy higher. That being said, they have a very different approach to the audio and the way that they might. Oh yeah, they're loved though. Yeah, I mean, we could put these mics wherever we end up. Yeah, it's real like, with the way that they do it,

they rely on so over and wide. And so these are really exceptional. Yeah, I think they're loved up for it now. We love. Loves don't sound as good. These definitely sound better, but loveliers are nice for the flexibility. There was a period of the podcast

where we used loves like probably like eight years ago. I guess when we started the video podcast. Yeah, and the audio's really bad from it. Yes, here. Well, actually, it's because we didn't know what we were doing. I would, I would. It was me who audio is really bad from it. It's here. Well, actually, it's because we didn't know what we were doing. I would I was me who was Loving people. Yeah, before my throwing that out there before my court. Before we had actual audio people who worked with us. I want handheld mics. Oh

God for a whole podcast. I like I'm into that. I'm into that. I think it makes you more loose. Can we have a selection of four different mics? One handheld, one law of one, and the order you show up, you get to pick your mic. Yeah, it looks like Eric's agreeing with you. Yeah, let's do that. It looks like he's really into this idea. I think a handheld is good.

I think it's good energy. It makes me feel like a stand-up comedian. It almost feels like two talk showy though. We're not, not- But I feel like if you need to like cough or something, like clear your throat, you got the mic away from you don't have to talk. Yeah, you get, uh, yeah.

Do you get, you don't have to mess with the, the arm here. Where am I going? I'm just imagining holding that for now and a half. You see it right here. Like, man, done. Put it on your seat. But I'm always talking, Gus. And you can always, you can hit him with this. But I'm always talking, Gus. I'm always at the right time.

You can hit them with this. One of these. Mm-hmm. Oh, wait, it's a lot of resting positions you can have. I like the idea personally. I don't mind that. But also, I don't know, dick about anything because I've been doing this for the shortest time.

What about that thing I, we got in the Secret Santa video that like, it goes around your neck and it holds your phone up when you, but if you get one of those and put your mic on it, and then it's just like in front of you. What if we get those little helicopter pilot mics where it's like the headphones and the little mic that comes out?

It's got the boy band mic. Yeah, oh yeah, oh, the little boy band mic. And we try those briefly too. We do that for South by at some point. Yeah, we did it South by here. Yeah. I don't know. What makes do you guys think we should use?

I have an idea. No. Kayla's the idea about the handheld ones but the long skinny ones. So then you can rest your hand so you're not you can hold it. So it's like the Bob Barker Michael's. Yeah. So you can hold it in your hand but you also don't have to. Yeah. You can just rest it on the caption and still be talking to it. And you can encourage me to get their pets spayed in you to. Yeah. Oh my goodness. I need that. Oh yeah, we should use those mics that they use on like reality shows where people are in

bikinis the whole time. Yeah, it looks like a necklace. The ugly necklace ones. Yeah. Have you never seen that? I don't watch a lot of it. Okay, when you see a reality show and you see anyone not fully clothed, they'll be wearing a dome-fucking necklace in like a waist thing.

Yeah. And that's their mic and their mic pack. Oh. Yeah. Which leads me to the next question. You guys know when you're watching a reality show and there's like a waste thing. And that's their mic and their mic pack. Oh. Yeah. Which leads me to the next question. You guys know when you're watching a reality show and there's like a sexy bit, is there just a camera man?

Just, I think about that all the time. It's like a thing that you haven't sex. They have to have like a installed like a robotic camera. Like a robot like a motion activated camera. Because like, no, but sometimes, okay, this is, I'm telling them, we've had those cameras like here before the cameras like that there there is an episode of this show that is a terrible show it's called the real L word and

it was a reality show that showtime made that was following a group of lesbians and LA and they're all the worst people I've ever seen and anything ever but there's an episode where like a forbidden hookup happens. And they, first of all, they fully showed it, didn't know you can do that. I guess it's show time, they have their own rules. But it's not a single like shot. It's like movement.

That was like, is there a cameraman in there? In there. Because it wasn't like it was panning the different, it was like, it would be like this and then like this. And I'm like, that's a man. was like it would be like this and then like this and I'm like that's that's a man I bet that especially on like the bachelor series Yeah, or bachelor in paradise where there are like plenty of make-out Moments or people like this about to you know do the do the deed and like there's a cameraman in the bedroom with them

Just like when couples have have fights on reality shows and I'm just like the cameraman's just, there's just a dude. Oh, stand there. Watching. There's a reality TV show. I love Super Trashy. It's a 90 day fiance.

Now we're in the Discovery family. I'm hoping I get to be involved with that franchise somehow. Involved now. Like the host of the till, all. Or like some Harry someone. There's this one season a few years ago where this guy goes down to Brazil to meet this woman and like, there's this awkward encounter that happens

and like, he runs off. And then after he runs off, the woman he's down there to see and the production team get mugged by men with machetes like, come up and like, the whole thing's getting filmed and then you see like cop show up, it starts shooting into the jungle. What? It's like when you're talking to us,

like there's still someone with a camera there. It's like, yes, yes, this is perfect. No one's told me that cut. None of you watch any of the Real Housewives series. I don't either, but Emily, Jeff Girlfriend also is, she does my hair. And so we talk a lot about life, but also different shows we're watching.

And she watches, I think it's Real Housewives of Atlanta. I could be wrong. Oh yeah, this one. I'll have to double check. But she said that apparently, there was a moment on one of the episodes where one of the women gets a call and has to like, says like her husband is sick and she has

to leave or something like that. And then like the FBI shows up. Like her and her husband were involved in some like, money laundering. Some type of thing like that. This is how they're being investigated. And like, it was all caught in this reality show. Like 100% real. Wait, was that with Fajra?

I don't know the names, unfortunately. I feel like it's Fajra. That's the one that's always I hearing scandals about. Do you have told me about this? And I was like, this is the closest I've ever come to wanting to watch this show. I know, you should look, it gets weird. I might start, you know, just throw it on.

Although, 97 seasons. There's a lot of good TV right now. And Gus and I were just talking about Severance. Severance is so good. I know Gus have been talking about that for a while. is such a good time for a whole lot of life. I was the first one. I like it. It's good.

It's good. The season ended. All the episodes are out. This is the perfect time to binge it. It was, I love the show. It's frustrating to watch week to week having to wait to see what's going to happen. But now all the episodes are out for the first time.

Now all of them are out. You can just binge watch the whole thing. Oh, I'll do my best. I'll do my best. I haven't finished it yet. Me either. So the goal is, I think tonight or tomorrow for me and Trevor to finish it because the finale came out

and I had to avoid Twitter for a few days because even people are posting gifts and stuff like that. Or I saw someone on my flight on the way home watching the finale and I had to be like looking away. This the whole time. Yeah it's like if you don't know the premise is that people can undergo this procedure so that when they're at work they don't have any of their memories of their personal life. They only remember stuff that happens at work and then when they're away from work they can't remember anything that happened at work. They only know their personal life. And would

that be the worst? So for the people who are forced to work, for their whole existence. Right, for the people who work, it's like, there's this one scene early on where like it's like a new employee and like she gets to work and she's like, is it a new day?

And they're like, yeah, it was the weekend. And she's like, Yeah, because you essentially, they leave via elevator. And so like you get on the elevator to go home. And then when you come back to work, you get back on the elevator. And so like you get on the elevator to go home. And then when you come back to work, you get back on the elevator. And so like to her, it's just she gets on the elevator

and back off and it's the next day. Because it's like, you have no time. No time has passed for them, because you don't have those memories. Which I think is like a level of hell I would never want to experience. Yeah, because the one half of you only goes to work. Yeah, they have no memories either.

They're in tire existence. Yeah, you don't know anything about yourself, about your family, about your past. Yeah, like sometimes they'll talk each other like, you know, wouldn't it be weird if we knew each other on the outside? Like our outies know each other or... Yeah, outies and innies. So you could run into your coworker and not know.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's a very cool premise. Yeah. And is it not to spoil anything, and if it's a spoiler, don't answer it. The timeline is supposed to be weird, right? Because all the vehicles look kind of old. I think it's just a small town wood paneling.

It's because I think it's just a small town wood paneling. It's because I think it's just the aesthetic they're going for. Yeah, everything just looked like it was like in the like like like 70s or 80s almost. Yeah, I haven't finished yet, so I can't say if that plays into anything. Okay, but I imagine it might. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I think it's just their study because they do have like it's like weird stuff. Like, is this because like technology has advanced so quickly? You're like, I don't know. I think I believe some of the outies, like when they're out of work, they do have cell phones. Like modern smartphones.

Okay. So... Yeah, I think it's like modern day. That would be tough though, because some... But a lot of things, you your outside experience informs so much, like you need perspective. I think you'll understand once you see the show, like how it doesn't matter for this.

I don't know. There's still, I have so many questions, but I also still have like three or four more episodes, I think. Yeah, and so, and there's a lot of episodes to end with, like, a cliffhanger, and you're like, what the fuck? But now you can watch them all, you're like what the fuck but now you can watch them all Yeah, I'm gonna listen and convince me go for an abingit. Please do. I think it's it's great. It's great commentary on like Balance work life separation. I also. Oh, sorry good. No, it's even like

The deification of like executives in corporate culture. It's really a really good commentary. I watched Adam Scott in Parks and Rec, as I'm sure we all did. But seeing him in the show, he is such an interesting looking human being. And I don't know what it is about him. I'm like, tiny little, I think it's like the mixture of like the size of his facial features and stuff.

He looks like someone like drew him. Yeah, it's like a caricature, but he's a real life person. Yeah, it's just like, like someone made him in a character creation. It's like, most of his face is like right here, but also he has like that tiny luchin, but that's fascinating looking. Kind of big. It's like a weird, it's like a, his head gets bigger as it goes on. Yeah, like a cartoon character.

Yeah, he looks drawn, he, like a cartoon character. Yeah, he looks drawn. He looks like a comic book character. They also do this thing, which exaggerates what you're talking about. When they're on the elevator going to and from work, it's a close-up and they change the focal length on a close-up of someone. So it's like the face warps. Oh, yeah. That was there in any or out going from any or outy mode.

So it makes it even weirder. There's probably a lot of Easter eggs like that in terms of like any versus Audi. Yeah. And how like they probably shoot it. Film it, colorize it, like everything like that. I want to, I almost want to like finish it and then rewatch it all the way through. I'm totally going to rewatch it. Yeah.

So excited to go back now that I know everything that I do know to see how the early episodes played out. I can't wait. Yeah, so we'll need a full report back from you, too. OK. Yeah, I can't wait. It reminds me a lot of lost and like the anticipation I had waiting for episodes of lost back when that was really

popular. Just like things are mysterious. You're not quite sure. It's a little like a little weird. And then things are like slowly getting teased out little bits of information. Yep. It's fun. See, I've been in a rewatch mode. What are rewatching?

A lot of stuff. After I finished our flagming, our flag means that I want to watch that. So good. Sarah Williams was telling me about that. So good. So gay. It's really good. The Lotteco ATT. I've been rewatching a bunch of stuff. I think the last thing I finished was, the last thing I finished was the first season of gentleman Jack on HBO. What is that? I don't know if I'm not familiar with that one.

Oh, I know you aren't. That's why I'm embarrassed. Yeah. It's this show about this woman named Ann Lister, who was like, who's like this lesbian in like the 1800s or some shit, and the Halifax, where's that? Like Canada?

How, that's not. Canada? Halifax, Halifax in Nova Scotia? I don't know, I've only heard Halifax, but yeah, and Halifax, and she's like, she's very much like a butch woman,'s like doing her thing and falling in love with women but the women have to get married because there's no such thing as gay people and she's like is going through the last woman that she was seeing just got married

so she's like really just down in the dumps but then she meets this girl who like she's like kind of known her whole life she's seen in the while who's like they they say that she's just mentally frail, but she just has like a bunch of anxiety, but no one had the word for it then. They like kind of fall in love with whatever, but the real plot is that she owns, all of her land is on these coal mines.

And these dudes, this other family, the Rossons, the richest family in the city, or have been stealing her coal, because she's always galvanting around the town, around the world, having sex with people's wives, and then coming back and being like, oh, sorry, I had to come back, I left my jacket and then leave you and doing it all again.

So then she finds out that, because they're like, I want money, I don't want a Mary a man to have money. My uncle left me this estate, I want money, I'm gonna do coal, and then they're like, oh, they've been stealing your coal. So she's trying to trick the dudes into like buying her coal mine, but also paying for the coal that they already stole, but they're like, you know, evil, so they don't want to

do it. I know this sounds so weird. I know. That's why I was so embarrassed to say I was see. But like, I want to point out, I had to look this up. It's actually Halifax West Yorkshire, England. Okay. Oh, so it's not Canada's Halifax.

England's Halifax. That makes sense. Because I was like, I could have swear they had to say that. Yeah, and I was like, in my head, I was in, I was like, I'm on a geography. I'm on a geography person, but I was like, I thought it was in England.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Chris, nobody thinks of Halifax. Everyone thinks of Hal, if you can say Halifax, everyone thinks Canada. I thought England. I swear to God, I thought of England. Like, not me, I don't know dick about anywhere. But yeah, it's really good.

It's like a very mostly like low-stakes show and I've been doing kind of like low-stakes non-emotionally rock shows because the world is so terrible right now. And it's just like, it has a very jaunty, fun theme song that I get stuck in my head for weeks on end. And season two is coming out soon.

So that's why, and that was, I never thought I would get a season two because it came out in my head for weeks on end. And season two is coming out soon, so that's why, and I never thought I would get a season two because it came out in like 2019, and then I got like, again, I don't know how the internet knows I'm gay, but it was like, they have figured it out, they cracked the code. It was like a suggested tweet on like, an account I never used, and it was like,

hey, there's a trailer just dropped and I was like oh my god it's coming back so I rewatch it. It's good if you want like a dumb fun show they're like 30 minute episodes. I love a period piece. I love 30 minutes. There's like a B and a C plot that they're all interesting. Are you? Are you?

Is it? Yeah. Do you enjoy? Smut. Are you asking me? Do I love a slug? This is a chain. Yeah. Do you enjoy smut? Are you asking me, do I love a slow burn that takes out over a very long amount of time? Yes. Okay.

That's why I like a period piece. That's why I like a movie where they don't touch pinkies until 45 minutes in. Would you classify Bridgerton as smut? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. I saw a thing. I don't know where I saw it. Internet. Where they were making, they were like the second season wasn't as like tantalizing. It wasn't. It wasn't. There was definitely way less

sexy time. It's because the second season is about yearning. Second season is a lot of yearning. Pining, a lot of pining. Earning, a lot of being like, Buc already, buc! Eging. Yeah, a lot of edging. Whereas the first season, they give you, yeah. I thought that was a lot of what you want. I thought the first season was too vulgar.

I like the pining, I like the longing, I like the yearning. You like the chase. I like the chaseness of it all. This might be a question before the internet was so prolific with porn and stuff. It was something that you watched just because of a sex scene or something, or you thought there might be a sex scene.

Oh, anything with a gay thing. There's this, but like something weird, you're like, why? Like a weird thing? How would the duck have duck boobs in it? What? Oh yeah, duck boobs. Oh, cool, cool city.

What's that, Brad? Oh cool world. Cool world. That's also got boobies. Are there boobies in that? I mean, covered, right? He fucks the cartoon, right? I never saw cool.

I never finished it. It got deleted off my sling DVR before I could finish it. So I didn't do that. I should remember like, when I was a kid, you know, whenever you could look and see what the rating of something was right? Oh my gosh! I'm showing Chris the Howard the Duck Boobs. Oh it's a Duck Boobs! I hate that. It's a Duck Boobs. My face is like hurricane in the woods. We were desperate before the internet.

Yeah, but I remember being like 11 or something and then saying like, oh, rated R. And then I make sure I watch the beginning of it to see what it was rated R for. And I was like, so do you need me. Well, I guess I'll be watching this. I still remember, did I ever go to like Bernie's Watch Parties for Game of Thrones ever?

Yeah. I don't know. Well, I don't think like, were you even here? I think this is like before you were hired, but I remember when the first thing was coming up, like the rating of the episode and what there was like violence or gourd, isn't that. And then we'd be like, yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I had a visceral reaction to Kai's 71 who said, my girlfriend watched Love in Leashes and Fishbowl wives and she did not expect the sex scenes.

Here's my thing. I don't know if you guys heard me. I've been evangelizing to everyone who will listen to me. Love in Leashes on Netflix is the best romantic comedy film to come out in the past 20 years It is a movie on Netflix. It is Korean. It has one of the girls from the girl band girls generation in it The one she is 30 he is 25. It is an office setting. It is about BDSM It is about King Kong bondage. It is a love story for the ages. They work at a YouTube channel that makes kids shows.

That's neither here nor there. It is a perfect show. 50 shades two. I don't want that. F that, that Stephanie Meyer rip off. I don't want it. I want eight more movies of love and leashes. I want it to be like the fast and furious franchise.

I need more of it. Anyway, you should watch it. It's really good. Yeah. She stops on that. So the picks are romance between Ji-Hu, who has everything perfect, but has secret BDSM desires.

And Ji-Hu, a competent public relations team member, who finds out about his secret. He was released on Netflix for 11th, 2020. Also, coincide with Valentine's Day. The dude who plays Ji-Hu is one of the most attractive men I've seen in my entire life. He is, he is a button. Well, I mean, I didn't need more reason to watch it,

but he's our attractive people in the show. And he's got great physical comedic acting, which is, I hate to see it in the hot person, how dare you get everything. I've been trying to get into reading more of content like this. I started reading a court of thorns and roses. Have you heard of this book before? Is it Smuddy?

It sounds like a game of thorns, but- It's like Smuddy Beauty in the Beast. Okay. Smuddy Beauty in the Beast. You like Beast. I love- I mean anything Disney adjacent related similarity, whatever, you see it in. I'm all in.

You see a beast? No, it's, it's okay. Say fairies. Fairies. But not fairies in the way you think of. Like, high fairies, like, so else. Yeah. So, I'm only like, in the beginning stage of the book, so I'm still trying to understand the universe,

but they're essentially like people think that they're evil and they kill people and their like humans are terrified of them and they're like misunderstood and all this stuff and they live these lives of like luxury and glamour and a lot of the human people are living lives that are very terrible. And they think about about the fairies or the humans. They hate each other. glamour and a lot of the human people are living lives that are very terrible and they think about about the fairies or the humans they hate each other yeah they hate each other they both yes they don't understand and then one of the very powerful fairies people takes one of the girls as like to live with him

forever as as repayment for something oh he gives her more quality. Is that a repayment to like- She killed someone. Okay. Oh, so he's taking her- So instead of killing her, he takes her to live with him. So okay. All eternity.

For punishment. For punishment. But I'm in the seat of nowhere. She's like his piercing green eyes. Oh. And he- His sleeves are rolled up and I notice the muscle he forearm's a tan skin and like all the stuff. it's just like yeah, but what about his wings?

Yeah, oh no, it's not like the wings like they this guy turns into essentially like a beast almost Which is why it's like I don't know why they're fairies? Someone's gonna have to explain it to me. I'm still in the fairies where they just like fail It's fair. Okay, okay, I don't know what that means. Fae is just a magical being. Have you ever seen, okay, so there was this show, oh God, Fae calls. There was a show, it's Canadian.

So you know it's hit or miss. And it's about this woman who is half-suckabess, but she doesn't know why or what it is. So she keeps like accidentally killing people when she fucks them. And she's bisexual. And she gets caught after sex murdering a dude. She gets caught by this hot werewolf. Oh no. And they're wolf among us. And they're like, and he's like, he's like, what are you doing? You know you're not supposed to do this. And she's like, I don't know. It's just been

half thing of my whole life. And they find out she's like an unregistered fai. So then they take her to the fai world and they're like, yo, we got her rogue, succubus. We don't know how she's gotten under the radar this whole time and think it's because she's like half human. But so when you're in the fai world, you have to choose a dark, the dark fai or the light fai to align yourself with

and there's always a constant power struggle. But because she's like, I choose neither, I choose humanity, it's like, I choose neither. I choose humanity. It's like be a human. And then she becomes like a detective. And what is this called? I don't remember. I don't even chat her saying lost girl.

It is called lost girl. Is it called lost girl? Yes. And so she's bisexual, Avi. And she's got this thing where she like, when she feeds on Faye, like she can feed on them without killing them, but it usually kills humans when she feeds on them. So she'll like she's got this thing where she like when she feeds on Faye, like she can feed on them without killing them, but it usually kills humans when she feeds on them. So she'll like, she's saying, fuck the werewolf cop all the time and like get high from it because she's got like Faye energy.

But then she falls in love, but then she also falls in love with this doctor who has been kidnapped by, who, oh, I don't know, she like works for the dark fay because she owes a I don't know she's like interested in researching the fay and they like use her in her lab. The book that I'm reading and explain it to me. Absolutely. Okay. So it's like the so the whole series is is she going to go for the lady doctor or the world of cop.

Oh interesting. It's very talk about that that show about the minor. In England. Don't say minor. Don't say minor. My landowner. Mine are. Mineing the landowner.

She owns a fancy plot of land. You're like, I'm embarrassed to admit this show. And it was like a period in East. And then you're like, well, let me tell you about this. In chat, Cole Stocks says, podcast or Kayla, review smut books. Please. I'll do it.

I mean, I had a lengthy discussion with both Ashley Jenkins, formerly Jank, Ashley Burns, and Sarah Williams as well, about these novels that are essentially smut, but like all sorts of levels of spiciness and fairy tale and all that stuff. It is, there's so much out out there and there's a good reason. It's funny you say that,

because in chat minutes ago, someone said, looks like weem's been getting a bar broth. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it has got to me. In the best way. I don't have a weird thing. I just remembered. Are you okay dude?

Now I just remembered. I just had a weird memory popping to my head that I get, I think I had blocked. What did you jerk it to? Now I just remembered, I just had a weird memory pop into my head that I think I had blocked. What did you jerk it to? No, it wasn't me. It was one time when I was like visiting like my grandmother's house. Oh, no.

And then like I remember. Did you find some books? Well, there were a lot of them. Did you find them? And then I remember at one point, I was like picked up a book because I was like bored and I was a kid and I was like, started reading it. It must have been really cool. And then I was like, whoa picked up a book because I was like bored and I was a kid and I was like, started reading it.

It must have been really cool. And then I was like, whoa, this is some, this is porn almost. Like, you know, like those, and then I went to my sister and was like, did you, she's like, they're all like that. And I was like, you, and she was like, yeah. I was like, they're all like, it's erotic fiction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, yeah, I was like, they're all like, I said, it's erotic fiction. I don't get to get that. Yeah, yeah, I just got to watch a book. We used to, when I was in middle school,

oh god, I hope my mother was watching. It was like porn book. Oh, your mom probably will watch this. I hate this one, I was in middle school. We used to have this thing. There was a locker that was broken, so no one could use it, but it's so closed, just the combination didn't work.

And we would, we called it the romance locker because we would put romance novels, printed out fan fiction that was hand bound, that was hand bound by one of my friends, and fan fiction that we would all write in the locker, and you could check everything out like a library. Oh my God, so you could read your friend's fan fiction. Yes, I feel like that.

But you would not know who's it was? No, you could or you would. Like you, that's very personal. It's like in Bob's Burgers when Tina writes the erotic friend fiction. The friend fiction, though, is literally that. But it was like about other, it was like about fan, it was like fandom fan fiction.

I remember one person wrote like a very interesting spongebob in thick. Those two words should not go together. Or I hate, I'm not gonna yuck your yuck. You wouldn't be able to guess the pairing, but which hole, you wouldn't be able to guess the pairing. But which hole? You wouldn't be able to guess the pairing. It's a success. But which?

Like everyone, Mr. Crab. You got half of it. Squidward? Yeah. Ants Punch Bob? No. I guess I don't know any other SpongeBob square-bed thing, yes.

Patrick? No. I'm trying to think of SpongeBob. Oh, the squirrel. No. Yes. Plankton. Plankton. Plankton, the squirrel. No. Yes, plankton. Oh, OK. Plankton, it's Edward.

Plankton, it's Edward. Yeah, I'm into it. I drew 300 pages of that. Yeah, no, I was, and we did. We all did. A lot of warriors cat. Oh, we also used to pass around notebooks where we had our own warrior cat personas.

You ever read the warrior cat books? No, I've never heard of that. Oh, is this books about these cats that live now. You do. You do plans. And there was like a River Clan, a water clan, a fire clan, and a shadowed dark clan or something. And we all would like make our own cat warrior cat characters.

There are so many of these books. Yeah, that we are petas, and we would pass around composition books where we would like write our own stories that all went together, like in the composition books. So you'd go and read with the last person, and then you'd add on your part of it. I like that. I had six friends in the school,

and that's why, probably. There are eight of them in the series not counting standalone books. But what about, do you read Red Wall? Those are probably less sexy. Those are less, those are some mice. Yeah, I didn't like it and it was my and it was fantasy in the wrong way well those are my

that work that like a anunery what do you call those anunery a nunnery is this an unnery a place where they like a church convent they were like common mice that fought off bigger rooms there's even more of those books I'm sorry. I'm sorry ThunderClan that fire clan. Could you look a corn of thorns and roses was the book I was talking about I don't know if there's like a description Yeah, that's like if you have questions this ask my small way. Yeah, there's There's way into those red wall books. Oh, yeah, no bar

I was talking about it with barber too. Oh, the psychrofavor thing in the world We had brunch and it was Sarah Wings was there and Barbara was there and we were talking about these novels. This four of them. There are. Yes. Are you reading a court? So the second one is a court of Mistin Fury.

Okay. The third one is a court of Wings and Roon. Excellent. The 3.1 is a court of Frost and Starlight and the fourth one is a court of silver flames. So there's five of them because there's three and 3.1. Yeah, a court of thorns and roses is the first one, and that's what I'm reading now.

And that is what I was told is like a good introductory book for this type of writing. 19-year-old Ferry kills a wolf in the woods and a beast-like creature demands punishment for it. She's taken to the land of the Ferrys, her captor Tamlin, who is an immortal fairy himself. She comes to live with him at his estate. He is a high lord of prithian and a fairy begins to realize that what she has previously learned about the dangerous world of fairies

is all a lie. It's very interesting. I want to learn about the dangerous world of fairies. It's like the Artemis Fowl if he was like a sexy lady. Oh, yeah. Yeah, cause even back, we were in Tales from Sticky Dragon, we encountered an orox was it? Yeah, orox. Orox and Barb was like looked at the picture of it. She was like, I like the orox. Was it like an orox?

It was a, it was a, whatever it was, it was sexy. It's like an orox, but thick. I think or, I am the minority that thinks orcs is hot as it as a Mostly straight girl who watch Beauty and the Beast growing up the beast Hot smash. He's hotter as a beast than as a human. He looks like hundo P I was busted in the face as a human. You know the whole smasher past game the people playing on tic-toc with like the different Disney Caretics like smash the beast smash 100% game the people playing on tiktok with like the different disney carers like smash the beast Smash a hundred percent on the Opie smash smash and so yes that or ox was hot the beast Hey, but the question that you I'm sure it's called tear to philia. Just look at that. That's what you have

It's fine. That's the or ox. Why don't I just see no killer? No, that's not what I was That's not the picture. That's not the picture. I don't think that's what I'm gonna look at. It was more like. It's more like. I think it was like a headshot of the Orrox. It was like, he was put up. I like how I show this one in part. I was like, that's not it. That's not it. Because here's the thing, no,

but I get where Barbs coming from. It's specific. It is specific. It's specific in a way that you can show but not tell. You should play World of Warcraft. You'd love the Torin. Interesting. I'm going through our stinky dragon discord right now

to see if I could find the picture of it. Cause I remember seeing and I went, that's a lot. It's been a while. It's been a couple of months since we, I guess we do type a lot of stuff in there. Yeah, it's gonna be way back there. Barb, did you read Ice Planet Burbarians? No, but I've never heard of it either.

How if you talked to Weems and not heard about that? It's one of the most popular romance series. There's a bunch of them. It's like a bunch of... I'm killing my algorithm. Women get stuck on this planet of sexy Ice Barbarians. And then there's other planets that are like desert spacebarbarians or whatever.

She probably hasn't recommended it to me because she knows it. I'm a new, I'm a very fresh, smut reader. A reader period. I don't read a lot of books. I don't know. Me either. Did you read Dicphide Island?

No. Do they have audiobooks of it? Yes. I'm not a Dicphide Island. A group of human women are abducted from Earth by a group of aliens looking to sell them on the intergalactic market. Yeah.

Oh my goodness. There's a ship however crash lands on a frozen planet, the women dub, not Hoth, and they are found by the tribe of local sentient beings known as the Sakui. Hmm. Where is this hot beast creature? To people, because I've just cared about the audiobook. Because I listen, I do a lot of audiobooks because I don't have the time to read as I used to. And I just, it'd be weird like, listen to an audio book and then like doing stuff around the house

and then I guess getting turned on and then be like, I don't know. You put, you get, I don't need these, I just like, you're just cleaning up, listening to a book and you're just thinking to get half mast listening to the audio book. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I can't watch this is a do this Hey, bar. I was the same picture. It will I thought that was it. I was pretty sure that was it

That was a picture. I looked through a lot of Damn, that's a hot creature You're like he's both. Yeah, he's right You mean your castle show me the beast You must have loved the witcher season two. I didn't I never watched the Witcher But now Hey, hey Barb look at me. You should watch the witcher. Okay. I trust you Kayla There was a wink for those of you listening just audio. Have you, you know, I

think I call like iron circus comics. They do a lot of, they make the Smut Pedler series and they do a lot of go-fun me's and they release a book, like, really it's like two or three books a year and you can only get them through like Kickstarter or go-fun me or whatever and then like a year later they'll sell the rest online. Excellent. But they have what I like to call very niche things that make you learn things about yourself because it'll be like, they'll have a book where they're like, this is Smut Pedler 2014, 15, 16, whatever.

And it's just like a compilation of sexy comics from like a bunch of writers. But then they started doing these things, other niche. So it's like, so it's like, so one is like called my monster boyfriend. Okay, I love it. It's like a bunch of,

and also they're not all straight. It's like, they run the gamut of everything. Of course. And it's just like, and it's just like one is just like, yeah, I got snowed in with this stranger and he's like dying of a mysterious illness, but it turns out he's actually an incubus

and needs to fuck or he'll die. Like that kind of thing. Oh my God. And then there's a boyfriend who tried to tell me that one. Do you want to do that? I wish you had to fucking end it. Yeah, end it, we're done. There's another one called like,

Silver Something that's about like, May December romances. And then there's another one that's like about like, oh, I think it's called like sex robot or something. And it's about like technology. I'm good at needing to write this all down. Yeah, no, I'll send, okay, they're on the book.

Jamial is, I'll give it to you. Okay. You should start a book club. You should, you should like find a place to like, a repository online where you write all your recommendations and people can see them. You're in like a commission fee, an affiliate fee when people click on it to buy.

We should have an STF book club. Yeah, let's do that. Where we pick the books. And we make Chris Reed, Arotica. Yeah, I make you guys all read it. And then we'll discover it. Chris can only listen to the other books while he's doing dishes. Right.

I think it's kind of like sexy. Racer Reno, I don't read Laura Olympus because I can't figure out how to buy coins on that webtoons app or whatever webtoons And know I wasn't referring to Trevor They've had other boyfriends. Thank you Believe it or not people like me sometimes. That's funny We got a black box down got featured on Apple podcast

I was very happy about that. Like when you launched the Apple Podcast, it was like on the front right next to a podcast by Avalon Goria. Yeah, nice. And another one of the podcasts that we do was also featured. Yeah, 30 more minutes was in there. New and newer. New and newer.

New and newer than the other one. 30 more minutes from the wonderful beautifuls, Jessica, Vazami, and Elise Williams. They just launched that. I think, two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. Yes, fantastic box guess to check it out. I love both of them. They're both very funny. Oh my God, incredible.

And Black Box Down is great too. Yeah, sure. If you like planes. Or if you don't like planes and you want to hit. If you really hate planes, yeah. If you hate planes, it also plays to that crowd. I mean, if you like, I don't know if I would necessarily

split people up into, let's play and say planes. I'm just trying to, you know, to tell you most people, as broad as possible. Pretty indifferent about planes. But we also launched, like, you know, we're launching this, this March next week. But we also launched a new feature for that podcast, which is something we've never done before,

where people can, it's almost like get a, if people who don't know about Rooster, because Black Box Sound is a huge non-Rooster Teeth following, so it's almost like people can get first-like features for that podcast without getting all of first. They can say like, monthly fee, I think it's $2.99 a month to get early access to episodes and add free versions of it. Oh, nice.

It's almost like a Patreon type thing. Yeah, and it's a good way to think. It's just like, if you like the show, I want to support it. Oh, yeah. It was an R&D Roochertieth first member of sort, yeah. Because you know, if I listen, it's like, I always like describe this like,

when I go to a Wundery, because sometimes I'm like, yeah, I pay for Wondery, but when I get there, there is so much. And I'm just like, oh, I don't know what to listen to. This is all new to me. I was here for murder stuff, but you guys have kids shows. I feel like it's like kind of like that.

Yeah, it's like, like I said, it has a large non-restrict follow. So like, if you want to support this one individual show and you want to look for a goal. and you want to put it on the floor. If you're just here for plans. That's your thing. Otherwise, first has everything. It has that.

It has all of our podcasts like that and tons of other things. It's just like a very small sliver for people because that podcast is unusual and that has such a large non-Rustyth followers. How many people do you think there are that have no that have like seen RVB but now listen to black box down but don't know you're the same guy. It definitely happens. I've seen comments and messages. His voice is familiar. I don't know where it's from. We see that on a lot of our take-out on STF. Is that Simmons? Oh, I recognize that voice. This Simmons from Red versus Blue.

They don't even know your name. They look like, it's so, it's just like, I can't imagine what it would be like to have that experience with the fan. It's just like, whoa. Is anyone ever recognized you purely from your voice? Gus, like you're on the phone with someone? I don't, you're like, yes sir.

So, I don't think that that like, yes, sir. So. I don't think that that's happened. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say no. Which possible, but I'm gonna say no. Yeah, anyway, that's all I want to say. I wanted to plug Black Box down. Oh, these people are in here. We got Chris here, who's my cohort on the show.

Co-pilot, which stuff. Unfortunately, it doesn't have actual liquid in it. Oh, what? It's just for display. What is that gum in there? Yeah, it's got the, I forgot I was chewing gum and we should have a podcast. Is there gum gum in there?

I need to sort of spit it. Yeah. Another good plug, gum gum. I know, I feel like this is the end of the podcast where we're just plugging all bunch of stuff. Well, I got something to talk about. That's not thing related to anything, but it's just. Well, last thing I'll say is tomorrow,

if you're watching this live, so it's Tuesday, April 12th. Four to six p.m. Central, we're doing a special stinky dragon side quest stream, where we're going to be playing Honey Heist. So we're trying to test out more like role playing games and stuff like that that we could do as a group. And Chris is going to be dealing with it. But first time DMing ever, anything.

I'm excited to try it out. It's my first time playing Honey Heist. Honey Heist is a RPG where everyone is bears and you're doing a heist. You're gonna steal honey. Steal honey from somewhere? Or is it a queen bee? Honey, honey.

One of those two, honey con. And Gus got something for the stream, which is I think my new favorite thing that you own, that I want you to wear all the time. I intentionally did not bring it to this guest tonight to save it for the stream, which is I think my new favorite thing that you own that I want you to wear all the time. I intentionally did not bring it to this guest tonight to save it for the stream. And we'll have some special new stinky dragon merch, including this, which I saw some people in chat complimenting me on. This is Bart and Gungum from St.Hale from the stinky dragon, that a community member actually

did the artwork for. I'll pull up the community. It's like Kevin, it's a play on Kevin Hobbs, which is like honestly my favorite ever. It's the cutest thing ever. Like my phone background is Kevin Hobbs. Yes, it's so cute, but yeah, we'll have this, a t-shirt, a mug, all with the same artwork, stuff to choose from, and then we'll be streaming 4 to 6 p.m.

Central tomorrow on Roush your teeth. Honey Heist. Honey Heist. Reddit user, Rar Zoo. Rar Zoo. Rarzu. What were you gonna say? Well, this is stupid. It has, I just had a thing I was wondering how they could.

I didn't expect nothing less from you. I got an argument. It was arguments. I have a question. Okay. Is it, could a tater taught be a French fry? Is it a French fry? No.

Is it Tater, obviously not. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Okay, curly. Waffle. Uh-huh. Uh, like the kind where they kind of have the potato skin on it still. Okay, like home fries. I think there's a difference between that, though, is that they're all intact. Like a tater tot is a bunch of, it's like crumbled up potato. No, they're all, yes it is. Yeah, all french fries are whole. Except I will argue in and out fries, which are the pringles of french fries and that they taste reconstru-

But you see them like Putting the fries or putting the potatoes through a machine to cut them up Yes, yeah, whereas Tater tots are like if you have a bunch of potato that you mash together to a shape They shaved like for a hash brown and then like formed little Tater tots like what it like the french fry a french fry They're all just like very they're all just potatoes That are fries right right it would be like would it be I would say a tear toss closer to hash brown than it would be a French For 100% I've also ordered hash browns. I got in Tater tots Hey, there those two are a lot more interchangeable. Yeah, there's french fries are totally different if you just had a long

Tater tot okay, you're not gonna know because it's already been graded That's the difference we're talking about if Tater tots. Okay, you're imagining it long. Because it's already been graded. That's the difference we're talking about. If Tater Tot's are graded potatoes. I like Chris' face right now, because he's like, yeah, that does make sense. Here's the thing, okay, let's break it down like biology. The kingdom, the kingdom in phylum. Yeah, so the kingdom is potato, right?

Okay. The kingdom is potato. The phylum would be potato product, right? The class was when they separate because a potato is a french fry is in like pieces of a potato that have not been shredded nor mashed nor reconstituted. That's like saying a mashed potato.

That's like saying mashed potatoes is the same as a tater tot because they both may have been greed or hash brown because they may have been greeded for constituted. Mashed potato is closer to a tater tot than a tater tot is to a French fry. Exactly. And here's my thing is I don't necessarily think that it makes sense.

I'm going to make it clear. But I think the term fry is used too broadly to the point where I think it's lost all meaning where I'm like, well, that could be a fry. Like, whole fries is what did it for me. What is a home fry? Home fries are, are they, that's the dateable. That's questionable, whether that's a fring fry.

They are though, that's the point. No, home fries, paper and pretzel. Home fries, it's possible for home fries to not be French fries. Okay. Home fries is like cubed potatoes. Cubed potatoes? Oh yeah, see, I would consider that closer to like, French fries. Okay. How about this first? How about this first? Cubed up potatoes. Yeah.

Oh yeah, see, I would consider that closer to like, almost a hash brown. Yeah, and here's a, here's a, all the styles of French fries ranked. I want to, you know what, you know what number three on the list is? Look at number three. What's your source?

Is it hash brown? What's your source? It's the food republic. I don't give a fuck about food republic. I want to whiteboard. Look at number three. Look at number three on the list. Is it Tater Tot?

It's Tater Tot's, but hear me out. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. It says, okay, so here we have, okay, hear me out, hear me out. If you read the descriptions, waffle fry, potatoes cut, Belgian fries, potatoes sliced, standard cut, potatoes cut, garlic fries, any cut, Belgian fries, potatoes sliced, standard cut, potatoes cut,

garlic fries, any cut, curly fries sliced. And then you go to the Tater tots, it says grated, parboiled potatoes. They are neither fried nor cut nor sliced. They are fried. Drop that, drop that phone. They're fried. They're parboiled.

And, well, these ones are, but they're also listed under a thing of french fries. From Food Republice, you found one place. I could find one place that says french fries are from outer space. I mean, my point is I'm just saying, it's like there's no, the term fry means nothing. We're just getting too complicated.

That's what I'm saying. It's like the whole like it's a hot dog of sandwich question. Like I would know it's hot. I think there's probably some people who would consider tear tots to be a French fry. Those people are wrong. Are wrong.

I would say. Those people are waiting for JFK Jr. to reveal himself and declare Trump king of the United States. There are 18 types of fries today.com. List. Take a toss. I don't give a fuck about food republic. I don't give a fuck about today.com. I Take a look at the right. Fuck about food republic. I don't give a fuck about today.com.

I can't have seen Gus the angry. Hey, I'm so mad about this. This is so clear cut. I just feel like fries again, like you said, are cut. They are a single entity. A French fry is one piece of a thing. It is one piece of a thing that was a single potato. When you grate it, once it becomes de-constituted,

it's like how Pringles aren't potato chips. They're potato product. Yeah, I guess like a baked potato or fry? No. It's closer to a hash brown. It's closer to a hash brown mashed potato. I guess I'm just going to. I agree.

I just want the term French fry. I want it to be clear dot because I don't think home fries should be fried. No, I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree with you. I'm with you. OK.

Well, that I don't think anyone disagrees on that. No, they shouldn't. OK. Chris wants to make French fries great again. We just get a red cap in the store with white text. It just says make French fries great again. I just want to read you are a T.E. There do you want to know the dictionary definition of a French fry. Please. It's a thin strip of deep fried potato. There it is. A thin

strip of deep fried potato. So but what's, but it didn't specify whether or not it was like reconstituted or not. What? It's not a thing. It's just though their chodes. They're this big nuggets. Yeah. Why am I yelling?

I'm so sorry. I got heated for no reason. Because I'm yelling. I'm raising the stakes. I mean, I see here. I'm sure. It's not like I'm like, oh, they have to be French. I'm just like, I think the term French fries lost the meaning.

Because it's not. Yeah, why not? No, it's not me doing it. You're the one contributing to it with this discussion right now. I feel like playing with the audience. No, I want it cleared up. I'm saying right now, it could be. Until we get home fries off the table, then I think they deserve to be a fry.

Home fries definitely get a pass. Those are not French fries. Okay, good. Because I got pissed off the table then I think they should they deserve to be a fry. Home fries definitely get a pass. Those are not french fries. Okay good because I got pissed off the first time I had a But they're more constituted than the hash brown. They're more whole. They're more whole. Sure but I feel like consistency wise. Consistent and like taste wise, Tater tots are closer to french fries. No, article posted on June 9th, 2015,

are Tater tots French fries? Aren't Tater tots just a type of French fry? I have posted this question to my friends and nobody agrees with me. But posted by Chris Dean? What's the username who wrote that? That's Chris's burner account. He's Discrimaris?

It's someone name Amir, I think, Submininus. I hear Alturiga. This is very R. Calm. He's discramarist. It's someone named Amir I think, Submininus, I hear Alturiga. This is very flat earth. It's from you use the name Amir, because you're like a big college humor fan. Oh shit, in the same article, this is wandering into that dangerous is a hot dog sandwich flame more.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like we're reliving history. In a very weird way, from 2015.

I had at home back at home I don't know I was like home fries You mean like when your mom's right up some or a or I don't I don't french fries I don't know and they were never as good as me way too long to realize the name or I Is a combination of Oregon and Idaho? Yeah, I know you but you know what a writer does own? The copyright to Tater tots, you know, that's it Yeah, I because I was doing whole writing research on this before I brought it up. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, right up.

Which is blue my mind. What's the non generic term? I don't think French fry. Graded potato nugget. I don't know. I don't know. I taught a potato talk. That's all it's like how we couldn't say

for the kids or whatever. Oh, for the kids on actual life. You have to say to your kids. For the kids. What is that like a PlayStation thing now or something? I know someone or the kids. Someone have to say to your thoughts. What is that like a PlayStation thing now or something? No, someone owns it. Someone owns charity for children. Yeah.
