I'm Gavin. I'm Christian. And I'm Andrew. And I'm Gus. So, theoretical question. We were talking about, I thought it was, we were having a discussion before the podcast started. We don't have to go the same way. I'm just asking the audience. So we were having a theoretical discussion. And Andrew was telling a story about how some laptop that was sold from, I believe from Russia, that someone bought online. Yeah, some government.

And had like a bunch of government secrets on it. Yeah. The person who bought it was able to find all this stuff. And I said it would always be interesting to, I thought it would be interesting to buy like a bunch of used hard drives off of eBay. And then to see what you get, like see if there's files on it, see if you're in file recovery, what you can find.

But then Gavin said something that scared me. Well, like Gavin said, you'd probably find a bunch of child porn. So I said, it's a risk. He doesn't really get it. Yeah. So I said, well, maybe I don't want, I definitely don'd probably find a bunch of child porn. So I said, it's a risk. He doesn't really get it. Yeah. So I was like, well, maybe I don't want, I definitely don't want to do that.

So like, is that a crime? Like, if you find it, I mean, obviously I could call the police, but they would you tell them, like, I bought this hard drive off of eBay. And now it's got a bunch of shit on it that might be like, is it better if you report it? Or would you just destroy it? Yeah. Do you just like melt it down in a fire? And I think you got to tell them because that way they can find whoever had it. Yeah, you can show them the seats. Yeah, here's who I bought it from. Here is the delivery address. Everything you need. I just bought it from that either way, you're in trouble. It would be interesting to just pull stuff of really old hot drives

I think, but it would also be a huge risk. Yeah, like a like a separate virtual machine. Yeah, in a virtual machine and do it all in there Really good for a country. Yeah, I think you'd probably also run the risk of getting a lot of like mislabeled lime wire songs So run the risk of getting a lot of like mislabeled lime wire songs. Just like, you know, like, like, like teenage wasteland, a lot of like, like, mislabeled the song tracks. It's like, it's Boba Riley, folks, but just like, yeah, just a lot of kaza, a lot of lime wire down there. I'm like, Iceland dot EXC.

That's weird. Yeah. Oh, and it's only eight kilobytes. I think I'll just open that right now. Oh, interesting. We run that So that's if you ever wonder what are we talk that we were basically having a podcast before we started the podcast We were just like yeah shooting the shit about something random child porn happened right as the intro roll Like

Okay, well, let's definitely don't bring that up like, jubber, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. It's like, okay, well, we thought, let's definitely don't bring that up. I know it's the best. Gavin was joking, like, let's start with that. Okay, let's start with that. It's a conversation topic. Yeah, it's a, oh, dear.

Yeah, people in chat saying you have to report it. Yeah, I've imagined, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. So is this, Nye Mistrios, this feels like people giving away their THC candy at Halloween. Like who is really just selling hard drives of that on eBay? Well, they're probably selling devices. They're racing the hard drives.

Yeah, they probably thought and erased it. They haven't registered it. They haven't registered it. And that one of my all time favorite just like urban legend myths, there's like there's no like documented cases of like people getting dosed on Halloween by like drugs and candy. It's expensive. It's expensive.

There's not like you know, it's like I'm gonna I'm gonna freak out the establishment and open the third eyes of all the children in my neighborhood. Like, man. No, man. Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, they're getting so you know jazzed up on all this candy. I need to bring them back. Yeah, I wonder that fear mongering every year. You hear that like check your kids candy. Make sure they don't have any

like THC candy and they're like who's doing that? No, what's doing that? I guarantee that has never happened. I know I agree. There's no absolutely no way. And also just I don't know there's always panics. There's the moral panics that just that crop up around around Halloween especially. It's because it's about the candy and then it's like, make sure that like each child like goes trick or treating in at noon. It's like, and they're like, all kids go trick or treating now in the broad ass daylight and are accompanied by like a failings of parents and stuff. It's like, and they're like, all kids go trick or treating now in the broad ass daylight and are accompanied by like a fail-anx of parents

and stuff. It's like, man, when I was a kid, I'm not to do it when I was a kid, but I just remember like, we just like ran off into the night. Like it was just like a free-for-all, just like down the block. I remember one year I was out with my friends. I was probably like a young teenager 13 or 14 or something.

We were just like, you know, going out, just, you know, doing whatever bad kids do in the evening of Halloween. And I found, as we were walking around, I found a giant empty refrigerator box. And I was like, oh, cool, that's my costume. And I just wore a refrigerator box at night. I like, I picked out like the handholds I could see. I was like, I'm a refrigerator. That's it.

Well, the thing you did as a kid, that was the most dangerous, but you didn't understand how dangerous it was at the time. Oh, good question. Probably playing in refrigerators. Oh, that's something like, something I got into the things supposed to tell you not to do.

Now, we definitely played with a lot of fireworks. I'm like at close range. Like, you know, dodged bullet, almost quite literally, like several times of like, oh yeah, we're standing like fly feet away with the Roman candles. Just like someone's gonna lose an eye. Did you ever hold the Roman candles?

Oh, like a firing squad. Like you can line up and you're like, all right, let's go. Let you ever hold the Roman candles? Oh, of course. Like a firing squad. Yeah. And you're like, all right, let's go. Let's go, bro, people just like, yeah, exactly. Ready to take it. What we'd like to do is, uh, went out, we got to my friend,

my friend had a little like ranch house and there was this like, I don't know how to describe it, a set of just like wooden stairs and I assume they were for, it was for like doing ranch work and like working with horses or cows or whatever. A set of just like wooden stairs. And I assume they were for, it was for like doing ranch work and like working with horses or cows or whatever. But it was just like the perfect height

to where we could like set up just a row of bottle rockets and Roman candles. And so we would light them all and then run out in front of them. And like, and just as fat as we could trying to get away, we like set up our own like, you know, firing squad behind us and we just run out in front of it. Because yeah, and you know, you're like 17.

That's your invincible. No, no, no bottle rock in the back. It's going to take me down. I grew up on the on the border, the US Mexico border and a text Mexico border. And people used to buy these fireworks in Mexico. They called them Palomas. And people would, we would make like triangles out.

They were triangles out of paper like this big. And they were filled with gunpowder, question mark. They were bombs. Like I was really. Yeah, I was like, if you would light them, you'd just like light one of the edges of the triangle and they would just throw them. And I remember one time I was in ninth grade

and I had a locker that was a load of the ground. And I was like, crouch down, I was opening up my locker and someone tossed a Paloma that landed just a few feet away from me. And remember I was unlocking my locker. I turned and I looked at it and I thought, uh oh, and then it went off and it knocked me down. Like it was so strong that I was on the ground.

Like see, I knew I was on the ground. I was like, whoa. Whoa. That your bill got blown to the other side of your face and you had to grab it and bring it back around Good grief that like Now did the student who did that did the kid in question? Suffer any repercussions for that for detonating essentially a

Bomb You can just blow up your friends Boys will be boys Oh you kids in your monkey shives. Is that like, you know, one of the things that were on the end of those, oh, is that one of the things? Yeah, that's what they look like. Oh, I like that.

I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that.

I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that? This is like, what good God. That does look like the obituaries section. Yeah, it truly does. It's been killed by firework. We make, we make polomas from the obituaries section of everyone. We'll buy a poloma.

It's a self-fulfilling industry. Oh, Lord. Do you remember the hammer things that people would have? Oh, yeah, yeah. What's the name of the hammer? Yeah. And as that video of the, the guy that has like way too many way too much on the head Yeah, it's like it knocks himself up out of his hand. He somehow fine So someone in chat who is this a seal like asked what does Paloma translate to?

I don't know what it means for the market. It can mean dove is What I normally think of when I think of a paloma. I think of the cocktail. Oh, yeah, delicious. So I don't know what the thing is. And there's someone in chat actually I've recognized this person who is from the town I grew up in. He says they still pop them in my old high school.

So it's still going on. Ah, it's not one of those back in the day you could get away with it. It's still happening. It's still happening. Yeah. Oh, man. It's not one of those back in the day you could get away with it. It's it's still happening. Yeah I got really like you're gonna be shocked to hear this. I got really pissed off at something this past weekend I don't know if you all ever have this experience or if it's just me I've never asked anyone about this. So maybe it's just me who has this problem And it's not everyone at large, but does the Austin Energy website suck ass

for everyone or is it just me? Anytime I try to pay a bill I feel like it sucks. Yeah it sucks. Is it gonna work? Is it not gonna work? Does it remember my bank account info? Does it not? Oh, I can't log in because I'm already logged in.

How the fuck does that make sense? What'd I pay? I don't trust auto pay Like is it big they can't make a website where I can make a one-time payment and I'm supposed to trust them to do it automatically It's why the like it's supposed to be like a techie city and you know, it's super popular Why the fuck can I pay my bill easily? Why the fuck does it take like 10 minutes every month? God, but oh no, it's a pain. I tried chrome, I tried Firefox, I tried Safari. I don't know, I feel like I'm fucking Dr. Seuss. I'm gonna keep, here.

You've gotta buy one of those like old laptops off of eBay with an old hard drive in it and use like Netscape and log in that one. That might be it. That might be it. Is it a private company? Or is it the government? It's public, I believe it's like the government.

It's the, well that's why it's a piece of shit. They're all right. I guess so. I believe like the government. Well, that's why it's a piece of shit. They're all right. I guess so. Good government website. You'd be surprised. You would be shocked at how many websites in this year of our Lord 2021 are unfucking usable. Like that just like a lot of them, I feel like are weird, like utility things or like

corporate or older infrastructure type stuff, which is just like, I'm trying to give you money. You hate like, why does this process so convoluted or stupid? I'm trying to pay you jerks. I had a very similar experience as I get beginning in a painting and this is not sponsored anyway and they wouldn't want it to either because I was using the Jerry's Arterama website Unfucking usable I was just like I just want to buy some stuff and have it like pick up for curbside like should be like no problem I mean a Hair pulling and furating experience just trying to like buy some canvas when you think that website went into effect

How long do you think that thing's been running in its current state? Does it look new and works like shit or is it just an old piece of shit? Oh no, it definitely looks like it was created by art students. Like some time in the 90s, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's just like, ah, log in.

Okay, search for something. Spinning, search is like, I'm sorry, this is, this is again, 2021. I should, there should be no like loading spinning thing of like we're trying to find your items, not at all. Canvas, never heard of it. Never heard of it. So it's like, okay, spinning, spinning, spinning, it would seriously like it would like be looking

for whatever I was searching for for five minutes. Like five minutes, I wanna see how long it would go because it would eventually turn up something for five minutes. Like five minutes, I want to see how long it would go. Because it would eventually turn up something for five minutes. But most of the time, it would just kick me out. It would be like, you're logged out, logged back into search and like buy stuff. I was like, I'm going to have a range stroke. Because this is what it logged you out

because it was just all sorts of busted. Or was it like your session has expired because the search took so long. You're now logged out very good hook Distinction without a different Really just from the server's perspective.

It's a, Jerry's is a chain that I think they would absolutely have you believe was like an Austin local like Spot yeah, which I blew juice. That one's mine with the other day Well, he thought it was like a local because yeah, he gave me a little Jerry's out of wrong My gift card from a birthday and it was very sweet. Thank you Drew and Yeah, we got into this guy's just like that place is not local. It it's a chain I had he was like I've lived you years, just always assumed that it was not local. But this thing looks very one of a kind, doesn't it?

It sure does. It's funny. You say that. In chat, Fubarchiologist says, I didn't realize Jerry's Arterama was a chain. It must be like that everywhere. I think they've got a really, whatever money they're not pumping into a website, they're definitely doing this, this disinformation campaign. Recently, you know, same thing. Neither did I. I thought it was a natural, native company. Everyone has been tricked into thinking it's a local place for them.

These are the back. They're keeping us. Guys, I'm here to tell you it's a chain. I'm so sorry. It's a national chain. I think it started in New England. Oh, but you know even from this country So here that we have a place called New England. I don't know I get It's always been weird to me Oh, that people from England got here went new Yeah, I mean it's lots of ways like New York used to be New Amsterdam. Yeah, yeah New York is now you you're. Yeah. Yeah. New York. New Jersey.

I mean, everything up there is like that. You have, sure. Yeah. New Mexico. New Mexico. The late addition to the roster. Was there a chat, Mr. Silk Rian is asking, why no? Most this week.

Was there not the most this week? That's tomorrow though. It's just tomorrow. Yeah. It's a Monday. Yeah. Do you think problem solved? Problem solved. I'm glad I'm glad we could clear that. Yeah, the most is tomorrow at noon. And it's a pre-recorded episode because Drew Saplan was on the face GM road trip. So we pre-recorded two episodes. And the one that comes out tomorrow is with Hannah McCarthy and Jeff Ramsey. Got some big gets, big gets for the cast. And we've got to hear, you'll hear, please, please watch tomorrow.

Jeff tells a very funny story involving Zebra, which I had never heard before. That was a harrowing, a harrowing ordeal involving a Zebra. But yeah. What a tease. Yeah, well, I mean, it had, I mean, maybe not a life threatening situation involving a zebra, but I mean, if you're a guy pretty close.

Was it his fault? No, oh, because you usually it's his fault. No, it wasn't. It was a, I won't spoil the whole thing. I'll give you a little context. Involved going to one of those like drive through like animal zoo, like a drive through zoo, like the natural big caverns, like wildlife ranch, where you drive here and you have, you know, a handful of pellets or food or whatever, and animals come up to your car and gorge themselves

on the treats within. Yeah, and... Where that goes. Yeah, I got real dicey there for a while with Jeff and Azoeba. One time when I was a kid, I went to the San Antonio Zoo and they have a little petting zoo with a similar thing where you put money in, like a quarter end of a machine, you get a little handful of pellets and it's like goats and other little small animals you can feed.

I remember, I don't know how old I was. Nine or eight or nine, something like that. And I went to the petting zoo at the San Antonio Zoo. And I got some of those pellets. And I remember I had like a big handful. I just got in it. I saw a goat, went up to the goat to try to feed it. And with one of its front legs, it just kicked my hand.

It kicked all of the food out of my hand. The hand went flying everywhere. The food went flying everywhere. The food went flying everywhere. And the goat just turned around and walked away. It was insulted at the offer of food. I've never seen a goat kick. It kicked my hand up.

And then just walked away. I was like, that goat is above this. That goat is done with it all. Pellets. The very idea. How old are you in this episode? It's like eight or nine. If you think that's why you don't like outside.

But I like goats. Maybe that's why I like goats, though. Like, find the goat with a ticket ship from anyone. You're saying I have a respective bag, yeah? I want to be like that goat. Man, that reminded me in San Antonio, there was like the near the San Antonio Zoo, there was this like kitty park,

like kind of mini carnival area that had like little like cheap rides. I mean, I forgot to say it might still be there if any San Antonio peeps in the chat can Google that real quick. Or no, being from San Antonio. But so they were these little like carnival rides. And so you'd like go to like a little front

little counter and you'd like buy tickets. And then you take the tickets and you'd like, you know, do the little rides there. Oh, this is for like little, little kids, like little Ferris wheel, little like Mary around all that kind of stuff. And I remember when I was a kid, I got two tickets to ride on this little like

Mary go around like that. And I gave it to a lady because there were like two entrances. I gave it to a lady, my two tickets to ride on this little like Mary go around live in. And I gave it to a lady because there were like two entrances. I gave it to a lady, my two tickets, and this other lady came over like later as I was like sitting like sitting down in the little little cart and say she was she worked there. She was like, you didn't you didn't give me two tickets. You didn't give me two tickets. And I was like, no, and I'm so little I don't know how to like defend myself. Right. And I'm like, no, I gave it to the way, like telling I gave it to the way, she's like, no, you didn't. So she like lifts me out of the cart and like,

pauses me over the fence. Yeah. Yeah. Again, this is like 1989 or something. This is like, you know, before there were laws. It's cold war. We're still going on. Rattle Reagan was present. No, like, I was so, that was like the first time I remember very keenly tasting like the fury of injustice, of being like, I'm too little to solve this problem, and I'm so angry. I'm like so upset that I have been like, I definitely paid my two tickets. I'm not trying to pull one over on you. I'm just trying to stupid little merry go around, I'm just trying to do a stupid little merry-go-round. But I remember being like, I was like crying

because I couldn't do anything with this emotion. Like, what is this? I'm feeling this, things not being right. Like this shouldn't be this, ah. Because then you start crying. You just look like a kid throwing a tantrum. Exactly, exactly. I'm throwing a fit.

Yeah. And I remember like having to like, my mom having to like calm me down. And then like, explain again, you're throwing a fit. Yeah, and I remember like like having to like my mom having to like calm me down and then like Explain again. You're just a little like you just like I paid the ticket and she threw me off But she didn't think I had just like Well, I'm sorry like a parent just being like well, I'm sorry like you can't really convey like what the emotion is But like much later came to grips is like, oh yeah, I just hated injustice. That's what I hated. That was my Batman origin story. That's what I hated.

What would you say to that woman now face to face? Let me back on the ride. We're going to the Kitty Park and you are going to open the gate for me so I can walk in and absolutely destroy that ride. Like I would sit on it now as an adult and just collapse it. In a chat I don't know how to say it's Mick X Valkery says the kitty park was actually called kitty park. It was yeah It's not there anymore. It's a burger joint now

So your chance to That lady is working at that burger joint and I'm gonna try to buy a burger there one time and like I'll be go pick it up from the window Hey, wait, you didn't pay for that burger. You didn't gonna try to buy a burger there one time and like I'll be go pick it up from the window. Hey wait you didn't pay for that burger you didn't stand a lot. No! She picks you up. Pick it up. Put you back in your car. Through the like, through the sun. Yeah. What? What is happening? You grew up but showed it to you. She's like 30 feet tall now. She hasn't stopped. She could pick you up easily like a child. That's a black mirror. There we go.

It's a very, very twilight zone. Turn of fortune. Last week I mentioned on the podcast that I had a problem with the tires on my car and I had to go take my car to the shop and replace some of the tires. While my car was at the shop at one point, I had to get in an Uber. I had to take an Uber. I'd almost never take Uber rides here on tax normally.

I had my car. So when I got in this Uber and I was going from kind of near where, I say, kind of near where the other studio is actually. I was going from there up to play some Fluegerville. And the Uber comes and gets me, and I get in, sitting the back seat, and it's a woman who's driving, and she's not very chatty, which is fine. I don't, I don't want to be chatty either. I just want to make sure, like, I don't want someone to think I'm an asshole, and I want

to talk, like, I'm ready to talk if they want to talk, but if they don't want to, a you'll kick. Fine, I mean, yeah. So if she's not very chatty, great, fine, I don't care, I'm ready to talk if they want to talk, but if they don't want to, A, you'll kick. Fine, I'm here. So if she's not very chatty, great, fine, I don't care. I'm just gonna sit there, I'm like, you do my phone or whatever. And I hear like a beeping noise or something and I look up like, what the hell is that? And she's got like a newer car, like not like brand new, but not past year or two. And she's got like a like a big display in the middle, like shows the radio, it shows the station, it's on,

what song it's playing, and it shows the vehicle range until empty. And it says 20 miles. And I'm like, we're going from kind of central Austin to Fluegerville. We're going to be getting on 35. And I'm like, I don't want to say anything. I'm like, surely she knows.

She's almost out of gas. And then the whole rest of the trip, I couldn't want to say anything. I'm like, surely she knows. She's almost out of gas. And then the whole rest of the trip, I couldn't stop staring at it. Of course not. It was just like my eyes were glued to it the entire time. Like, why is it in the center? Why is it where I can see it?

Why is it in the dashboard in front of her by the speedometer? That's where it should be. No, it's like in the middle and I'm just watching it the whole time. Just tick down mile by mile. If was a new but driver I would have a fake We got there no problem. She's definitely had gas enough gas to go drop me off. You said you think of the head like Like whatever I just got out like well, she's off to the world now. But I can't imagine like being an Uber driver

and letting you get that low, you know? You never know what the next ride is gonna be or what's gonna happen. Well, I can only imagine that if you had a particularly not understanding customer and you ran out of gas while like having it with a fair, that's destroying your star rating, which might like lose you that job,

because don't you have to have a 4.8 or above car lane, or like, yeah. If you go below a certain threshold, you immediately lose your ability to drive. Wow, I think it's a 4.8, it's insane. Yeah, so. So some people, the passenger's a dick.

Yeah. Yeah. So Yeah, yeah, so then yeah, I really Give them a five star rating. They need it. Come on. That's fucked up. I didn't know that yeah I give a five star recently to a guy who I think was a lunatic person he was driving around but every time We stopped he had to pull out a big roll of bubble wrap and he would break some off And he would just start popping and he would get really agitated like driving around he'd be like And then he just get his bubble wrap and just be popping it like inside the steering wheel like with his thumbs and stuff And I was just like on my phone. I could just like That's like maybe each bubble he pops is someone he doesn't kill that

Maybe each bubble he pops is someone he doesn't kill that day. That's just like five stars, all right. That is ice chewing, ice chewing lunacy. That is the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, it was like, it was weird at first. I was like, no, you've got bubble wrap. And then he just kept getting through it, pulling off a load more and then just having it. And I was like, how much does he go through in a day?

This is crazy. And I just wanted to learn all about him, but I didn't say a single word and then I got out. And then I got out and I think probably narrowly avoided death. Yeah, I just didn't. I just didn't know to live my life. I just didn't know to live my life. Not being that person's basement decoration. That's insane. Yeah.

Just like, is that like a coping or like therapy mechanism that one finds on one's own, or was that some of the professionals like, have you ever thought about getting, I know you're driving. Have you ever got one of those little like, one of those like nervous little widget things? Like you can just like, like a stress ball. Well stress balls, something you could fiddle with. It's like, ah, no, I need that popping sound. I need to kill something.

I need to destroy something. Yeah, exactly. It made it look uncomfortable to drive though, because he was like doing it. He was like doing it around his steering wheel popping bubble wrap. Was he also pulling it out while he was driving or he would at least pull out more usually at the stops, but he'd be popping. It's not pure lunacy. It's like 70%.

Yeah. but he'd be popping. It's not pure lunacy. It's like 70%. Yeah. I mean, just like every like red light or something, he would just rewrap the steering wheel and double the so he could hold onto it and just pop like clack clack clack clack clack clack pop it with his fingers. What would you have done if he offered you some? Somebody would have done it.

He wants to know rap. I had a been like, yeah, I probably would have taken some. Yeah. I mean, he's gonna kill me, other one. Yeah, that's not the type of person you say no to. Yeah. If you want some bubble wrap, or some you can pull some out, there's a dispenser in the seat back there.

I'm gonna just pull out a, pull out some sheets. Like, oh, you got charging cables, we got bubble wrap. Charge cables, bottle water, bubble wrap, whatever you need. Have you seen, speaking of charging cables, have you seen that there are, how can you put this? There are charging cables that exist that have extra chips in them that allow a malicious third party to steal information off your phone if you plug the cable into your phone?

What? No, it doesn't surprise me. They just like subbed it off like into the connector. Right. It's like, I believe that it connects, the other end connects it to a special device that then brought sets up a little Wi-Fi hotspot that then you can connect like a laptop or something to in order to offload data from the phone. So don't plug into the cable.

Try to get cables. Right. That you don't know that you don't own yourself. Because I've seen a photo of them next side by side with a real authentic cable and you can't tell. It doesn't look any bigger, doesn't look any different. It's what? Yeah. Don't use strange cables. Don't use strange cables. That reminds me of how people will have the card swiping add-ons at gas stations. Mm-hmm. Stick them in and then you get a skimmer. Yeah, skimmer, that's the word.

Oh, like on an ATM or something? Yeah. And they can still be a gas card. Yeah. I'm trying to see if I can find some. That's all right. That's all right. I hope it's to show you.

Yep, security researcher develops lightning cable with hidden chip to steal passwords. How's that on crypt today? How can they use that? I don't know. I think once it's Plugged into your I don't know. I don't know enough about that stuff. Maybe it's like if your phone's unlocked then it's Free game. Maybe but they normally like you plug into a computer. It's like do you want to trust this device? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's if you want to trust the device which my god I

May I made the mistake last week of actually plugging my phone into my laptop. What a mistake. What for? To charge it, but then I realized it's like, oh, now it wants to put like all like 20 gigs of my phone onto my laptop. And does so whether I want it to or not, like you plug it in, it just goes because it creates a, I think it to or not. Like you plug it in, it just goes. Cause it creates a, I think it automatically creates, I'm sure there's a way to disable it,

but it's just like, why? It's like, I, cause I forgot about it later. I was like, why do I only have one gigabyte in the space on this hard drive on my laptop? Like all my, all my programs are crashing, you're slowing down. Oh, I did plug my phone into charger, and then I went of course into like storage management.

It was like, oh yeah, there's an entire iOS backup on this. There's a phone in the computer. Yeah. Yeah. This podcast sponsored by BetterHelp Online Therapy. It's talking about therapy can be kind of hard. Let's use a bunch of analogies. You get oil changes for your car to prevent bigger issues down the road.

You see a doctor and go to the gym to take care of yourself to avoid injury and disease. You do chores. Well, I mean, some of us do, or try to avoid a messy home. You see the pattern, it's all about maintenance. Going to therapy doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. It just means you're investing in yourself to keep your mind healthy. Therapy is a great tool for living better.

BetterHelp is customized online therapy that offers a video, phone, even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in person therapy. You can start communicating with your therapist in under 48 hours. Why invest in everything else and not your mind.

I've come to the realization that the notifications on a Mac come in in the worst possible place and that the middle of the screen would actually be better than where they come. Why? Because they come in and write, which is where all the search bar is. It's where every like if I'm in mail, that's where I type to search for an email. I'm with this buried under all these shitty notifications. Even the office inside of the screen. Even just like if it came up on the top left, I would say even in the middle, 20, you know, like 200% size would be less inconvenient than me having to con.

You think that they would give you the option to set where you want the notification to appear. Yeah, right? Why are you pretty cool? Would you have that option? We're software developers, look at at that coming up with features. I'm glad you brought up push notifications because it's on my list to talk about here. Push notifications because push notifications have been pissing me off too.

Yeah. Why is it like so many so many apps abuse the push notification system where it's like, I need to have push notifications on, but then they use it to spam ads to me all the time. It's a way to like use up real estate and get my attention when I should be able to circumvent that. There should be the ability to turn off ad notifications. Like I just want the essential notifications.

I'll uninstall your fucking app if I get a fucking ad that I don't want name a shit. No shit It's all the fast food ones. Oh, yeah, oh like Wendy's McDonald's water burger to everyone's like, hey fups and off nap You know what I know it's right. It's 3 p.m. What do you want for me? Yeah, yeah, it's like oh If you order a full three-course turkey dinner in the next 20 minutes, your door dash, you'll get like 20% off. It's like, absolutely not. Not, like in no way am I gonna order whatever like meal you're recommending right now.

Also, it still interrupts what you're doing on the iPhone to tell you your batteries about today. Like it'll still pause the video and you have to dismiss that message. Oh, yeah, yeah,'t you. And that's got to be for a reason they would have just probably could have just been like a little banner that goes away. It's probably get you to enable low power mode. Do it on its own. Yeah. So you told me to name and shame. One of the ones that I mentioned was the Wendy's app. One of the ones that I mentioned was the Wendy's app. And as I was deleting it from my phone, never to install it again.

I was looking at the Wendy's logo. It's like the red hair girl with Wendy. And I noticed that the ruffles on her shirt in the middle, like just like a little choker. It looks like it says mom. It does. Does it really? Yeah, it's like M-O-M.

Yeah, I think there's like a, that's like one of those like subtle, like subliminal advertising type, subliminal advertising and imagery type things where it's like, ah, you subtly see mom and think like, ah, hamburgers like mom used to make, like it really is a. Yeah, we're about to pull it up and put on the stream.

But yeah, you can see what he's in there. You can see what we're talking about. But yeah, you can you can see what he's doing. You can see what we're talking about. But yeah, it's one of those things. It's like, oh, I remember in the 90s, when you do those two Pepsi cans spilled sex. If you like, if you like stack them on top of each other. M-O-M kind of looks like mom. Yeah, I can see.

I feel bad doing mom, but you said to me too many Wendy's ads. I don't want a frosty chino. I think that was it. I think that was it. I think that was the one that put me over the edge. Hahaha. I don't, I, I, I now I'm curious is like, go into power saving mode. Like, what am I doing on my phone that,

like do it automatically? I don't know that I'm like doing any type of like high level. Like, usually from the user perspective, you can't tell the difference. Normally, you can't tell the difference when it's in normal mode versus low power mode. Right. Because it's not like fetching shit in the background. Right. It's not fetching shit and also like the refresh rate changes a bit. Like you might not

have dynamic or might not go as high. Things like that. Like it's subtle differences. I'm pretty sure Android doesn't tell you and just does it. I think it'll warn you when it's at like 5% and it says go into super battery-saver mode. But other than that, I think it's just like heads up your batteries a little. Do you use Android? Yeah, I'm a pixel boy. Fair play? Yeah. Do you have cameras on the pixels? Oh yeah, very good. You ever go out and take pictures of anything worthwhile? I feel like we all have these amazing cameras. That's like the big selling point for all of these phones

every year is like, the camera is 10 times better. I'm just, I'm not gonna really use it for anything. And if you do, I feel a lot of stuff. But it's like most people, it's like, yeah, I was gonna like take a picture of my Wendy's cheeseburger. It's like pictures of the pets. Cat is sitting there looking funny. And we're like, okay, snap a photo.

I took a picture of your Wendy's cheeseburger. He sent it to Wendy's and says, this is the last time. This is the last one you're getting from a, you bastards. Yeah, that's a, I feel like it's such a waste for most people. Some people like Gavin, I'm sure use it for actual work and for actual things. You're trying pro-res on your phone, aren't you? Well, it's not out yet, I don't think. But I was reading about,

because we would talk about it recently and I was like, I wonder how many gigs per minute and I think it's like six gigs per minute on your phone, which is why on the smaller phones, they say. You can't use it. They don't allow you to do that. What, to shoot like in in pro res on your front, I think filmic pro that amp, I have that on my phone, and I think it allows you to shoot pretty close to that. It allows you to shoot raw.

It's less compression and noise. It gives you that raw image file that looks gray. It's flat image I mean, I mean, it like gives you that like raw image file that looks kind of like gray. It's like flat image. Yeah, yeah, like, exactly. So you can like color correct with that for the fact, but who boy, it really does just absolutely eat up your phone hard drive. Just like, oh, this is cool. Sweet. Okay. No, well, we got one take because now my phone is smoking and very, very empty. And then it's like, my favorite thing is the both computers and phones when they're like really close to being absolutely full with hard drive is you're just

in an ability to work at all in order to clear things off of it to make it work better. It's like, no, just let me delete this. Your phone does not have enough memory to delete the thing that you're like, I'm this is my guy. Have you ever tried to like plug in an old phone like an old iPhone or something and figure out how long it takes for you to actually or to use it? Like, first of all, a phone that's been off for like a year won't turn on for ages.

You've got to leave it plugged into like an hour before it'll even turn on. Yeah. And then it just, I guess if it gets a connection It's just like I got so much shit It's just doing all this shit It's really hot. I just like I'm just looking at just like what's it do it? Play it at right now. Why can I use it cuz I can't no no it's yeah, it it we woke up from its Rumble still skin like sleep and discovered an inbox a mountain high just like, all right, well, I guess I've also I have to imagine too that it's just like

once it connects to a network and you've got it powered up, it registers the fact that whatever like iOS it has has just been completely throttled by the makers. So it's like, oh, we're not going to let you do any of this. You're, you're, you're, you're, that wristband was for a festival three years ago. And you cannot get in here. I'm sorry. I have, I have a similar problem. I have, I don't know if you have much experience with them, but it's a similar thing with, with, I don't know if it's all of them,

but with a GoPro that I have, if you if you like you in order to charge the batteries They have to be in the GoPro and you have to plug the USB-C cable into it And that's how it charges but I have one battery that's so dead it refuses to charge And I had this problem before where it was like too dead to charge so the way I worked around it last time was To take the battery out of the GoPro plug it in the USB-C the GoPro on, and then once it was already on off of AC power, then plug the battery in, and then it was like, oh, I've got a battery, I should start charging that. Oh, I don't know. It gets you like trick it into working.

Right, it's like otherwise the battery is just, because like, if I haven't used the battery, I think that battery hadn't used like in a year. So it was like, it was dead dead, like, everything was gone from it. What? Yeah, it's a hero eight. Yeah, that's what I've got. So one of the batteries is able to take a charge and I've got a charge up the other one is just like, ooh, dead, I need to do the old trick on it

to get it working again. I think the hero 10 just came out. Yeah, it did. It's got like that front facing camera so you can now like, if you're holding it like you can actually frame it, like looking at the lens, got a, yeah. Oh really?

It's got a screen on the front now. Interesting. So. They've always had like that shitty little LCD screen. I guess it makes sense for them to put like an actual usable like viewfinder. So before it was just like numbers and what mode you were in and that was good.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, now it's actually like a screen, but like it still got a lag to it or like maybe the nine or something to the nine black had a lag to it. Maybe the 10s better. So it's like it really is just for framing. It's not for like monitoring because there's like it's still a little, you know, yeah, catching up. But it's like, yeah, just for framing purposes. And man, I saw because I was very interested in actually getting a, the reason I know about this, I was interested in getting a, a, a go pro to set up for doing

a little like painting streams and stuff. And, um, man, that like motion smoothing stuff they've got on those things is bananas. Like, for, for a little thing like this big, just some pretty miraculous technology in it. Yeah, just watching like demos of like the motions when things are like, good lord. I mean, you gotta think about GoPro's an interesting company to me, because I think about what is it that they do

that you can't get with your phone, right? Cause I think about like before like flip cameras existed and like there were these other cameras that were manufactured by other companies that as soon as like mobile phone flip cameras existed and like there were these other cameras that cameras that were manufactured by other companies That as soon as like mobile phone cameras took off and became decent all of them just closed shop They're like they could see the writing on the wall. And so I think I often think about GoPro and I wonder what is their special sauce that they don't Fold and I think this image stabilization that they do is part of it I mean I think just maybe it's you're able to get such a wide

the wideness and the smallness is like in angles on surfboards and shit that no one could do before. Yeah, exactly. The mounting system, like all the different mounts you're able to attach to and how I guess

universal almost kind of seems to be. You can find those mounts just about everywhere. Yeah. Put them just about any place you would need to film. Did you get one in there? I did not. I have not, uh, uh, I just hooked up two different like web cams.

Cause I was like, I can give you one if you want. I got some line around. Really? You're, you're just, I just sparked. What? That would be wonderful. Yeah, that would be amazing. I, uh, yeah, truly incredible.

Cause yeah, I just, I'd pet some like old web cams. So I just like set those up, but there I was actually, I messaged you Gus last week because like, I think I'm going to need to get a like PC if I'm going to be doing like painting like videos and stuff and recording multiple cams at the same time because I've just been doing it on my Mac laptop and every time I've done it and even using like lower quality video settings it's just like your encoder is going to die like recording those three video sources and every time I've done it this is like so I did one and my system crashed halfway through it and so I just locked and lost the video and then I did another one the other day that I managed to get all of but as soon as I finished like soon as I finished

The recording the video I like ah stop recording You just like Like black like nothing black screen just like goes dead. I'm like Okay, like unplug everything frame it then plug like just one power cord into it restart it It saved the video file, but just like, I've never has, I've never has it been so taxed that it just went, I'm done. I'm done.

I'm not even like, no blue screen, no like, this is encountered a fatal error or whatever that like the gray screen, nothing. Just like, off. Just shutting down, off. So yeah, my might still be in the market for a PC here in the near future. When we first started quarantine, we're doing podcast from home. Yeah.

It was impossible by webcam. So I don't remember that. Oh, yeah. Everyone bought them all the roll gone. So what I used initially when we were doing the podcast from home was I set up a GoPro on my computer with like a mini HDMI out into a capture card. And that's what I was doing for a while. It worked fine, and it wasn't as good as what we ended up getting eventually, but you got the job done. Yeah, we got a price good now for a web cams in the 10-poffis. They work, they work were a walls as cams. Yeah, for the eight I bought what they called the medium mod.

It's almost like a little case you put on it. Yeah, I heard it's high, but I saw that. Yeah, yeah. That way you can still plug in power and do Mini HDMI out at the medium mod. It's almost like a little case you put on it. Yeah, I heard so, but I saw that. Yeah, yeah. That way you can do, you can still plug in power and do mini HDMI out at the same time. And it's got a built-in mic that's higher quality than the one in the GoPro itself.

Oh, okay. That's really, that's good to know. I'm wondering, like, is there a way to disape? Because like, for my purposes, I actually don't need it to be like super, super wide. I'd actually prefer it a little bit more. Yeah, if I've used you can pick. How about that?

There you go. Well, I take some of those off your hands, Gav, if you're, you brought me a nice Garthmarine. He's dark place TV collection today, which I thank you very much. It's like one of my favorite shows of all time. So thank you for that. And I would be a ghost. Because you put it in your Instagram story recently,

the some reference to dog place. And I was like, I don't think I've ever spoken to an American that's seen that one of my all time favorite shows. Yeah, it's the best. It is so good. And so short lived. There's like six episodes. There's like three DVDs in there. Well, yeah, there's like, there's another show. There's a series in another show. Man to man with Dean learner. Yeah, so this is, oh, it's like the perfect.

This is a perfect season for Garthmeringys dark place. Like it's Halloween. It's like spooky. It's scary. It's a great great October show. So I think all of it's on YouTube too. So highly recommend Garthmeroringe's Dark Place. Yeah.

If you can't get those region two DVDs to look. Yeah, we'll see if I can jail break these these region two DVDs. Got a rip-up. Yeah, they'll be region free. Yeah.

Oh, so I'm, this is actually kind of heartbreaking. Do you want to hear the story of this, uh, of this, uh, of this, uh, of this sad ending? Well, it's, it's, so this is kind of heartbreaking. So I did that duck painting. And thank you all for everyone who like said, said nice things about it. I really appreciate it. It's a great painting. Thank you so

the piece the the the the piece of board that I painted it on was too thick and it did not meet the Guidelines for submitting to the ducts. Why does that matter? They have regulations that it can't be more than a quarter inch thick with matting. So the picture has to have a like eighth inch mat around it and be with that matting can't be thicker than a quarter of an inch.

And the actual piece of board that I painted on was a quarter of an inch thick. So that eighth inch matting around it made it to make it too thick. So it would have been down or something? Like it. Thinna. I suppose so, but it's like, I don't know if the structural integrity of the board would have held up had I like sanded it down. I'll tell you I was a tank of calories so I mean that's very sad but at least I have a nice little duck painting and it was a lot of fun to do but yes so it was the like rules

and regulations first submitting to that duck stamp contest like I like read over them and I was like, oh, a quarter of an inch great. I'll grab a quarter of an inch panel and then it was like, oh, it has to have a court has to have a mat around the painting. And that with that can't be thicker than a quarter of an inch. So I was like, did you get it? Jerry's a trauma.

I sure did know that non that non local business establishment. No, yeah. But this is just me without now. I know. And so next year, you're goinglocal business establishment. No, yeah. But this is just me, but now I know, and so next year I'm gonna give it another go. I don't like that whole competition got some spotlight this year, because last week tonight with John Oliver did a segment about it like three weeks ago.

Yeah, a bunch of people sent me that. So I actually haven't watched the segment yet, because I was still a little heartbroken about it. But yeah, he did, yeah, he like they did the last week tonight did a whole special on it. So set. This is so subject now. Oh, no, it's, I mean, it's fun.

It was just one of those things where I was like, you know those moments where you're like, surely I have to be reading this wrong. Surely that, oh, fuck. And then so it's like a mixture of frustration and anger. It's the same injustice. It's like I got kicked off a kitty, but in that of the kitty park.

Just like, oh, fuck, I mean, and that's the thing is like, it was a nine by 12 piece of board. And I only have like an orbital sander. And I was thinking about that. It was like, I guess I could try to sand it down, but it'd be so uneven. I don't know that I could have like evenly sanded it down. And it's like I'm trying to take a quarter of an inch off.

Anyway, I like went through all these calculations too. She's like, I was just like, uh. The Cosmo cream right. Get like the the deli slicer. And I'm very precisely run it. If I'd known someone with like an actual woodworking shop, I would probably would have taken it, put it in through a planer,

which can actually, but I don't know if that does, I think that does both sides, not just one, anyway, next year. Next year, I'm coming back with his vengeance. I'd be accidentally doing the other side. I think we have, it just takes all the both sides.

It just gives me a nice thin piece of non-paint. I think we have one of the paintings that was featured on the last week tonight episode over here. Oh my god wait okay so see part of the rules and there's some controversy about like so that there has to be some element of like hunting or like game is like because it's for like the Fish and Wildlife Service I believe and so like there has to be something depicted in the painting that like represents hunting and fill like you know the one hunting wildlife and stuff like that. For what I understand if I remember that segment correctly that was a new rule that was added

under the Trump administration, which I believe they are rolling back and removing, so it's no longer required as of next year, if I remember the episode correctly. Interesting, that, well, I mean, it's... So I think the winning one, the most recent winning one, I think it was a duck sitting in the water with a duck call floating in the water next to it.

That's how I got away with it. I put a duck call just behind the duck in the water with like a duck call floating in the water next to it like that's how I got away with it I put a duck call like just behind the duck in the shadows, right? Just like, oh well, it's there. Yeah, satisfying the technical it's checking that box. Yeah, exactly I love that I did that but then also completely fucked up the thickness of the paint It's like haha. I'm so clever Shit god damn it. But yeah, so they're rolling that back. Yeah, next year there won't be a bunch of like weirdly.

I feel like a lot of the paintings that I did see as I was like, oh, what am I in for? Like looking up the contest. A lot of paintings I did see. It really did feel like the hunting element was kind of shoehorned in there. Like to meet that requirement. A lot of just like, ah, beautiful duck. And then like, just like a hunter

in the background with like a gun or like a dog, like, you know, jumping through the water. And it's just like, kind of takes focus away from the bird, like what you get there for, for the point, with a bird. But that photo that you just pulled up,

that one looks like the duck has the gun. It's like a joke. It was like a joke entry. one looks like the duck has the gun. It does, yeah. It was like a joke entry. Is that a bit of a cool? Yeah, cool. The duck hunting, the huntin' has become the hunter. I can't even notice that.

Yeah, that's just what I was talking about. It's a picture of a duck with a gun. What do you think? It's even got its other wing wrapped around the gun. Yeah. I thought it was the tail of the duck. And it was just like turning its head around. I am tired of these motherfucking hunters

and my mother fucking catered, Patty. Oh my God. Yeah, I guess they, they commissioned, well, you should watch it. It's an interesting segment. But it was, it was, it was weird watching it because I thought about your painting right away. Well, next year, like I said, I'm coming back with a vengeance and maybe there won't have to be some like, yeah, a duck collar, a shotgun shell.

That was the other one is like empty shotgun shells floating in the water like, okay, cool. A bird and littering. Wonderful. Yeah. To tremendous. Does the criteria for the painting change every year? Could you just resubmit on the thinner wood next year? I don't know. I don't know if they like maybe are because they give you they give you like a list

of birds. So it's like five birds that you can choose from. And I don't know if that rotates. So you might have to wait 10 or so years to resubmit if the the same bud comes back exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Just in the next time there's a blue wing teal. Next time that comes back.

I'm in baby. Brince your closet. Start doing your bucks. I'm in baby. It's your closet. Start doing it through your box. I've got it. In the mail. It's a, yeah, it's such a weird contest. But people see, the me like, I hate seeing that. I hate it. I'm sorry, Andrew, I hated seeing your painting because I couldn't do that. It's like, that and I'm like that is too much talent. Good save that is that is unbelievable

Andrew I had to say yeah, I hated seeing your painting. We'll be right back after these messages It's just like I can't do that. I feel like I don't have any fine control over my hands I don't understand like if you put a gun to my head. That duck can obliged. Yeah, a paint, a decent duck. Or you're going to die. I just get it. There's no point in me even trying.

I can't do this. Can't for brains, guys. Can't for brains, guys. Just pull the trigger. No, don't make me suffer. It's not. It's talking to someone who is really good at painting once. I was like, just so talented.

Like, how did you find out you could do that? And I was like, it's not talent. I worked hard to be able to paint like that. And I was like, you don't understand. I couldn't paint, I couldn't paint better than a five-year-old. I can't put anything that I can see onto canvas or paper. It just doesn't exist in me. That's why I understand it.

That's why I hate playing some of those games like Gardeckphone and whatever. It's like, it's just like text telling you to draw something. You know my mind like, okay, I know what I want to do. And then you start drawing. He's like, this isn't coming out. I can see it probably and I can't even do it. Right. I know exactly what I want to do. And it's not going to come out. Anything like that. It's so incredibly frustrating. And I hate it so much. That, you know, that was an interesting thing about like starting to like try to paint was just like, the mechanism, because I don't know what it is,

like whatever mechanism you're just like, okay, I'm looking at that and I wanna put that on this. Like I just wanna turn that into this. And like one of the things that I found is like, that I've like doing lately when I've been painting is like Not trying because that duck era is very Accurate like it looks like the thing it looks like which like for those for the oh no there it is There's there's my painting look at I hate it you you did that. Yeah, look at that

Don't you hate him too? It looks like a fucking photo How do you do that? Yeah, it's got like the depth of field fall off is like Too thick though. Too thick. Too thick. Damn, duck too thick. How long did that take you?

That was, I was like 12 between 12 and 15 hours. Oh, it's like a lot of like real like a lot of detail work, a lot of then there with a little fine liner brush, like doing those little like spots on the duck and stuff. Some airbrush stuff. I learned how to airbrush to do a lot of that kind of like, bokeh, I'd depth the feel out of focus stuff in the background and make up brush that actually like to like soften like blend and edges and stuff like that. And this was like a lot of for me, it was a lot of guesswork

and then also watching some YouTube stuff. I'm like, okay, how do you make things like blurry? And it was just like, there's a lot of different ways to use airbrush and stuff like that. And I was like, okay, interesting. So when you get to the finer details, like the spots on the feathers and whatnot, how do you keep your hand from shaking?

Because naturally, hands are kind of shaky, right? How do you like secure it? Slow your heart. No, really, it feels a little, I feel a little bit like solid snake. Like I'm gonna like, or what is he taking the first mental? Like, as a pammerper cigarette, they like actually like, it's called like a steady or your aim or whatever. Um, yeah, no, there is a little bit. So, for those really fine, like the real fine small details, fine line work and stuff like that, what I do is I usually take it off the canvas, put it flat, and I've got like an acrylic, essentially like,

a clear acrylic stand, I don't know what you call it, but you just, I like, set it over the the painting and then rest my hand like on it over That like kind of just hovers like right over the painting so that you can kind of get down in there I'm doing because like to like have it like feet away and to do a lot of those like small line work Would legitimately like be? Incredibly difficult for for for that stuff, but anyway So yeah Well, thank you guys. I appreciate your your hate. Thank you. He did the best possible way. Yeah, maybe wild if there were competitions

to like paint other animals, like I feel like the duck, like the duck has a good PR person. Like they have this whole contest, they have this whole thing. Like why don't there other animals that have the same like competition for with this notoriety? I agree, it's very, I'm with you on that. And what's really interesting about the ducks and duck painting and looking at all the other like entrance and the painting that I did is like,

in terms of, like, you like painting that I did is like in terms of like you like painting animals that have like personality like you were like dogs are really fun to paint I've been doing a lot of like pet portraits and stuff like that lately and dogs and cats are real fun to paint because they have personality there's like life in their eyes they like look I was like looking at photos and pictures of ducks it's like, they're just like, I mean, you know, you're really like straining to like, give this like ducks some like, yeah, energy or personality or stuff like that, cause they just, it's just like,

have you seen a sheep up close, like a look to sheep in the eyes? Oh yeah, there's just nothing behind. Nothing behind, dead behind the eyes. Yeah. That's really creepy. Yeah, oh no, yeah, sheep are also Sheep are also like, I feel like the sheep that I have encountered in my life are being kind of like mean. Or at least just kind of like so

so dead behind the eyes that they're just kind of mean perhaps. Yeah, growing up, going out to like family ranches and friends ranches like with sheep and stuff like that. Yeah, they are and they have those weird like They're like goats. They have those like single pupils. Yeah, they bet those like rectangle pupils Yeah, it's like it's like both a slit and a circle right is it like comes down They like won't and then is that it yeah, it's creepy. I know that yeah, go sheep eye picture Oh, yeah, can we get a picture of a sheep's eye? Oh no, you're right, it's more like a rectangle.

That's like a horizontal. Yeah, it's like a sling. They only watch a white screen, no panning camera. Yeah, they have anamorphic vision. Yeah, don't show a sheep portrait, mate. I did a, I did a, I did a painting for my uncle of my uncle of a ram of a big orange sheep and had to paint that rectangle pupil. And yeah, because I like, that's the other interesting thing about, that's come to learn

about painting is that you really have to look at the thing. Like you were looking at a photo for reference, you're like, we have to study the thing that you're looking at. And yeah, looking at a sheep's weird square pupil eye, you're just like, this is unnerving. Like, I don't like, and no thanks. So why is it like that? What is the bio-equal reason?

I would love to know. I'm a rectangular pupil. Something that I feel like could be easily knowable that I do not. Yeah. And why is it cats the other way? Go ahead. Ah!

Look at that. Look at that horizontal. Look at that square pupil. Look at that. Bump, bump, pure. Bump, bump. Yeah. It just gives them better peripheral vision. Oh, would you love to live deliciously?

God, I love that. I guess since they eat, since their herbivores, they always had to put their head down to eat grass and stuff. The rectangle gives them better peripheral vision. So even when they're looking down and eating, they can still see predators are approaching. Have some of it. What other herbivores have rectangular eyes? Why is that not more common? Let me look. Bront Stores.

This is according to Redwood Hill Farm, by the way. According to scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, So, um, uh, uh, according to scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, much of pot smoking hippies. Um, for example, people, blah, blah. Oh, I don't know. It doesn't, like, I can't, I can't easily find a list. I'm sure that one exists. Have you ever seen the picture of in the Owls ear?

Yes. Where you can see it's an awful, you can see it's eye. No, no, it's not. It's so big. You like see this much of an owl's eye, but it's I know no I know what so big You like see this much of an hour's eye, but it's really like a lot bigger on the inside and if you like look in It's air you can see the back of it. No, thank you. Oh my god I can't get it for a while. No, thank you. I would love it. You would love this. Why did you tell me about this? I

I now I don't want to see it but I absolutely want to see it It's same thing with like Ravens ears or crow's ears. You can't see their eyes, but it's just this whole in the side of their head. It's horrifying. So I think of all this speaking, we've really done a bird tangent, but of all things that like birds, like feather like, oh. So like, that is the back of the eye no holy hell no oh my can you imagine if like you're like digging in your ear

and you actually scraped the thing you got my eye ah no my rods and cones like also I think it's frogs too, like, use their eyes to swallow. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's why, like, if you see like a frog, like eat or a frog or a toad, like, you know, eat a bug or something, when they swallow it, they go, they're like, they're like, eyes squashed down because their eyes are similarly like, help push the slime in the room. Yeah. Really. No, I just go and like help it shove it down it. Throw. Uh, fat. Always you make. Yeah. Gross. But birds, what like owls also like owls,

penguins, like things that you like look at a bird and go, Oh, that looks like a, then it's got some density, it's got some like, you know, heft to its body. Yeah. Or nothing. That's like all like feather is an air.

And like the, I saw a recently, like a cross-section of what like, basically what penguin skin looks like. Like it's like two full inches of like super thin feathers that make up that like coding that it had. It's like weird. If we could pull up a photo of penguin. Just the weird animal shit. Yeah. Yeah. Penguins like feather like the way it's like skin and feathers are made up are just like, oh, like no. I didn't. It's one of those things you like, it's like fascinating,

but also like kind of breaks this myth and just like, oh no, they just have this like, I figured they were like thin feathers and like lots of lard to keep them warm. Oh, I think it's kind of a mixed buff. It's like a thick layer of feathers that then goes to like skin to this fat. Like more feathers than you expect.

More feathers than you would expect, but it's the layer, it's like the thickness of the feather layer. They're like, it's like inches thick rather than like, and they're like stacked up next to each other like pine trees instead of like, Dalek, little slick, Dalek, slick down like you think. I think to see this.

Interesting. I guess I don't give enough thought to penguins. Don't birds also have hollow bones or something like that? I think so. Oh birds have hollow bones. The ones. They keep some blight so they can fly. That's a cool thing about owls too, is they fly completely silently. Yeah.

That is so, it's very creepy, but also incredibly cool. And I don't know how they do I think there's like some I think it's the way their feathers Attach at the end of the wing tips of their wings. I think it's something like that. Yeah Yeah, it just it allows him to flap without making any sound They seem over-engineered and Al is extreme and Al is like a Bird stealth fighter. Yeah, just in the day like all the others. It'll be fine. You find a mouse. No, doesn't have to compete with other birds to get food. Yeah. Now, owls are like bird X.

Bird extreme. It's bird Baja Blast. That's yeah. The owls in particular too. Yeah, they're weird back of the eye and their ear holes. They're silent flying the fact that it'll poop They should they throw up those pellets. Oh shit. I found one of those when I was a kid I thought it was the coolest thing. Yeah, take it apart see all the like little bones and skin and fur and so I thought they did that But they would also dump I'm pretty sure they have an a an a-tis. I'm pretty sure they birds have cloaca. Yeah, they go. Cloacas are cloacas do owls shit I think they might do both hey all right. I think just The harder to digest stuff comes out as a pellet. That'd be cool if you could choose.

So you could choose. If you could choose. It felt like a massive curry and I just think, Abby, it's easier to make the pellet and not work. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. See, but do you think you'd taste it? Coming back up. I think you could put in the pellet. Get pellet and have something on the outside of the pellet that you should be able to taste. They're like what you do, you eat something in the pellet. Get pellet into something on the outside of the pellet that you should be able to taste. They're like what you do. You eat something after the curry or whatever.

Like, I'm gonna use this for the outside. You're gonna make a bunch of Oreos. I mean, I'm gonna get an Oreo cover. If it tasted a little bit like curry on the way out, I think it'd be fine. That's fair. It's fair. Yeah, as long as it.

The most, God, I don't want to get too gross with this. The most pleasant, vomiting experience I ever had was when I had food poisoning after you had the salt lick one time, because when it came out it just tasted like Salt lick barbecue sauce. I was like when I was done I was like that was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Would do that again. Is that the same time when the bean came out? The bean came out of my nose that same time that was it vomit. It's so hard of being a full

Digestive being came out of I think it was my right nostril Now I don't just imagine you vomiting and going whoo, that wasn't too bad Yeah, it wasn't like I was drunk or anything It's like I just ate something bad and it just came out so I didn't feel sick afterwards like it was just what I think Where it's like I think was a middle of that like woke up like oh, I need a vomit you vomit. You're like, oh, I'm fine. Like that's it. I'm done. It's like oh Yeah, I still I keep afterwards it's still disgusting. I was like, oh that normally Normally, it's a really like

awful process that will get from a new past terrible awful process. I will get found a new that was terrible. It's like if that's the number one vomit, it was number like two through five. Like, I don't know any other one step. I don't know if I can rank any other one in my life. It's just that one. Number one, every other number one. And then a like, 100 way tie for last time. How many times you've thrown up in your life? Just like, yeah,

you haven't been throwing up and you're trying not to wake the person that you're in bed with, you're trying to like silently throw up, so hard. Yeah, I'm in bed. Not throwing up in bed, I've gone to the bathroom and I'm just like... Trying to keep it quiet. It just sounds like someone pouring out a book in the floor. It's like... You're trying not to give it any other...

Right, not trying to make a performance out of it like really like really silly It's kind of stifles it. I feel like it like flies out in a different way So it feels like it feels almost like it's falling out as opposed to it's like being projected at this and so I would argue that there I would argue that like part of the like part of the cathartic, the catharsis that vomiting gives you is in part due to the theatrical performance of doing it. So when you can let go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, This. And like, do it. Part of that, like, act. Part of the, like, in between wretching, or when you can just kind of like, you've just got like nothing left to hide. It's like, this is, you know, rock bottom for the time. Part of that is the, like, that helps in making you feel better after you after you vomit. So I imagine that like having to try to vomit quietly is just like man is is is not doing what it needs to do to be like. I'm just having to hold that suck. Yeah, that's awful.

that sucks. Yeah, that's awful. It's just like vomiting is such a, it's a ubiquitous, it's a universal human experience. And it's just, it's so, it's so immediate. It's like, you know, it's like when people say like, ah, live in the moment, that is one of the times when you are living in the fucking moment, just just like, yeah, hopefully, hopefully, like, best case scenario, you're hunkered over a toilet, which is like one of the worst parts of the life. And it was when I was about to say was, I know in the moment, I never think about how

disgusting that is and how I wouldn't be in that position or my face at closer toilet ever. But in that moment, you're like, this is fine. This is the best place to be. This is correct. Gonna get this done. Gonna wash my hands, brush my teeth and move on with my life. I'm gonna get on with my life. Yeah. Of all the places to like, that is the best case in air for vomiting. It's like over a disgusting toilet. I can't get maybe if you were like out in nature, just like off a cliff. Like just where it just like goes away. It doesn't even hit the ground. Like the wind disperses it.

Yeah, but you got wind risk. Yeah, it's like off a sheer cliff. Just like, like riding that cup into your face. It's like the big Lebowski when they're spreading the ashes. Oh God. Oh God. Oh.

I feel like the best Vombs are the one and dunes. And I feel like the quite rare. But when you get it all out in one go, because I feel like with a Vom, you can immediately immediately tell whether round two is coming up. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna meet you at a relief But it's like oh, I'm definitely not done. You just waiting out. Yeah, you're just like Catching your breath and just waiting. Yeah, yeah, it really is just like oh Here comes the Bomb it rollercoaster you're on you're just like nope

We're climbing back up where I go around to it's like when you know you need to sneeze And you're just like just get it over. It's just come on body. Just do your thing. I want to go back to bed sneezes. They're amazing I just really enjoyed them Like you personally just I love having a good sneeze. Love a good sneeze. Blossom out. That's fair We talked we talked about the the phenomenon on the most a couple weeks ago with Eric Bedouard and Brian Gar, the dad sneezes. The loudest thing, like the loudest noise a human can make is just a dad sneeze from across the house.

We'll just cut, and it's out of like, out of a deafening silence, a dad sneeze, we'll just like, I just like a whole body thing. It's like the legs come. I'm like, it's like, oh my, like again, I don't know like my dad sneeze like that. I don't think I sneeze like that. But maybe I'm wrong. Again, maybe it is part again, like the Vom you're saying, maybe it is part of like the performance. Like you need to have this very violent expulsion to really see all the effects. I've definitely gone louder with mine over the years and it's just a case of, I think just caring less.

I'm older now, I'm getting closer to that dead age, I'm gonna stop blasting them out. Yeah, that just way more satisfying and I just never got quite a good. Yeah. And then maybe that's true, Yeah, that just way more satisfying. And I just never got quite a good. Yeah. And then maybe that's true. Maybe they just are really more satisfying. Man, is there holy, like most of the time,

like most of the time when it's like, oh, I can feel the sneeze coming on. I'll like look at a light or something, like if it's kind of like, if I'm really edging a sneeze, I'm really edging a sneeze. I'll like look at a bright light or like, you know, do something and like, you know, make it happen. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something.

I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something.

I'm just gonna do something. I'm just gonna do something. I'm still mourning it. No, I'm truly I'm sad about it. It was just a blue nostril I went into the bathroom with some pepper Still tissues. Yeah. But man, and no, it really was. It was like, oh man, no, that's not that sneezing coming back. And I really need to eyes filled the tear. Like just like eyes water like all the like residual like a

kutramag like after effects of his needs needs but like none of the satisfaction was just like and it was what was driving that was like the other part too it was just like I'm like eyes are filled with tears I have to pull over. I'm just screaming to the heavens to my heart. I have to bubble wrap to the end. If there was some bubble wrap, stat. The most impressive sneezes I ever heard was my mom would do those like dad level sneezes and she would do them so loud that they would wake up our deaf dog. No! Good God.

The vibration, the air is the only thing the dog can hear is that sometimes speaking of vibrations that woke waking vibrations. Did was anyone woke in my thunder last night? Holy shit. It felt like I woke up at one point. I thought this must be what an earthquake feels like. I felt like my bed was shaking without question. The loudest, most like environmentally shaking thunder I've ever experienced

was last night. There was one like crack of thunder that not only like shook my apartment like my glass on the side of the bed rattling like it. It was so powerful. It shook the whole place for a few seconds. But then the thunder itself lasted. I want to say it lasted 30 seconds. You're like, oh, that's not like 30 seconds is an eternity for a thunder like for like a clap. A way to think about how long thunder normally is a couple seconds. A couple seconds. Yeah. This thing just kept going. It blew me me away. Absolutely. Yeah. And like woke me up. I was like

very close, like so close to sleep. I was like, ah, because I like to sleep to a nice thunderstorm. That's really relaxing. And then so I was like very close, like ever so, ever so close to the edge of sleep. And then boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, just like the thunder just kept going. That was wide awake, right, right away. I feel like that kept happening to me last night because the storm blew in probably a little after midnight or something. It's like right when I was getting in bed and everything was like, all right, I'm gonna fall asleep

to sound a rain. And it's like, right as I was drifting off, like, huge bright lightning. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, that's it. I'm gonna fall asleep after this. Somebody went on for like an hour and a half, two hours. Just like, not letting me sleep, just teasing me.

All my thunderstorm sounds are now followed by the sound of cat claws failing to grip on the floor that comes with every lightning strike in this one. You don't get the like scuba-dub-bugget-dub-b for animals during work. Everything's back to animals this episode of the art to podcast. The animal episode. It's the animal episode. It's podcast animal style. It's like, I feel so bad for animals during thunderstorms because they get so scared and they don't know what's happening. and you can't explain to them. It's like, it's fine. It's like, I mean, if you say so, but I'm just going to, I'm going to shake here. Yeah. You see me freaking out? See, I'm cool. Everything should be fine with you. That's what I was like, from their perspective, they should look at me. I'm fine. Calm down.

Everything's okay. Yeah. You're there, like, dozing off and then you're like, ah! Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, thankfully, like my, my, my dog growing up was, I'm just petrified, petrified of thunderstorms. Just like, I mean, like, yeah, and this was before, like, thunder vests or like, you know, whatever the, the various gadgets and stuff they have to, like,

calm dogs down, the man, what a, what a horrible thing to like not be able to convey. It's like, it's cool. Like just chill. That's fine. This is dope. You've been through this. It's never hurt you. All you've been fine.

You've experienced this before, it's frustrating. I know. I know. I just can't annoy you. Yeah, especially with like the ones like last night where you know, it comes in the middle of the night, it's like, uh-huh, fuck, you know. He's gonna be terrified or it's gonna be terrified and have to deal with it, calm it down,

it's okay, then even after it's done and over with, there's still gonna be on edge, freaking out, worried about it, continuing. It's a whole thing. I've never experienced a really big earthquake to the... I've seen... I've watched a montage on YouTube and I feel like it's always hard to tell what's actually happening because you just see everything going everywhere and there's people just falling down. But I saw one from a security camera on the front of a house and it was the first time I've been able to like see the ground move because the house was moving with

the camera on it. But then you could see the cars like also getting like pushed around on the street And I was like whoa, and you can actually like look at the ground and like how it's moving. It's crazy I can't believe it. I mean you want to be in it. I've never been in an earthquake. So really? Yeah, that's desperate to feel what one feels like. I'm naming either and I've never never been I've been in one and I slept through it Where was it? California LA area of course. Yeah. They got the kind of got the market on that. What's the deaf dog, though? I think he was. I think he slept through it. You've seen that video that's like, I think it's one like, like, earthquake

in Japan, where it's like a security camera inside an office. I think it was Japan. And like, everyone's like sitting down working, then all of a sudden, like, the dog stands up and like runs out of the room and everyone looks at him and then like two seconds later the earthquake starts Oh, I guess it can feel like the initial tremors that are you know, they're way more sensitive to it than we are So it's insane how what dogs can detect I saw a video yesterday of Person with the I think of therapy dog because they had epilepsy and the dog like the video is just person doing dishes And then the dog is sitting there and then the dog just suddenly gets up and starts walking around the person like jumping on the Counter trying to get their attention and then sure enough a few seconds later

They started having a seizure and the dog is there to catch the dog and just knows ahead of the dog just knew it was coming How did it know I've read that they can smell like changes in your body. What we're kind of, what the, as you're like body chemistry sort of like changes, they can smell like what you're like secreting and like what's like, you know, in your breath that's coming out of your skin and like all that register's in. I've there's so much shit we don't know about animals.

I feel like, I feel like we know probably Maybe 50% of like all if we're lucky 50% of just like all the different like Almost like six seven cents shit that animals can do that we just like like Like I guess like how like I mean like dolphin communication and stuff like that It's like oh that makes weeks and bleeps and stuff like that It's like and I'm sure people know a lot more detail But so there's still stuff that we're just like I feel like we don't know shit the wild one to me that I was thinking about is like Ravens Telling other Ravens about stuff and passing generational knowledge down to future generations of Raven like letting them know like oh that person's an asshole stay away from them like like to the point where

Ravens that have never met that person have heard from other Ravens. Yeah, that you know that person's an asshole or or that person will give you food right? It's so cool. How what does it make any sense? Yeah, Ravens have that like madman hobo code where they like write like a dishonest man who is here on like the fence. It through sound. I guess. I don't know. We don't know. We don't know.

Speaking Raven speak to describe your appearance. Yes. Guy with a hat. Why anorite. Yeah. It's crazy. Well, Ravens incredibly intelligent. That's one of those things that we're like, we just like, again, we're like so limited

on what we know about a lot of animals. Ravens can be like taught to solve, but not just taught to solve problems, we'll solve like solve problems by themselves. There was a guy, we're gonna hear this story. Basically, Krozen Ravens, like a guy basically set up a bird feed vending machine in his front yard that he got Croz to bring actual money to. Like, Croz would fly out

and get quarters and nickels and would put it into this machine and it would give them food. So he would just like, he's had a little little crow business. So he had a little bird bank. Yeah, a little bird bank. These birds would go off and get coins, bring them back and get food. And then also, there's stuff like, like Ravens have been trained to solve problems,

like math problems, stuff you're like, what the fuck get out of here? But yeah, they're just crazy. It's crazy. Do you think they could get like, dead-bit cards and stuff? He's snatched it from me. It'll attach to pay a little, a little tap to pay a bracelet around

their little wrists. Now we just need to get crows with those lightning cables with the chip in until like hang out on like the, uh, uh, catty of coffee shops. I'm sure you could stick some sort of NFC reader on animals and intercept apple pay and stuff. Oh, I'm sure. I'm, yeah, exact.

I'm sure you absolutely could. And that's my pitch for the new ABC show. Brainstorming. I'm watching the video of the guy who built that bird feeder that takes money and birds are paying it for food. So how much? That tries to put a CD-ROM in an ammo. Oh, I see it.

I just got there. It. Hey, O'Well, 500 hours free. God dammit. Where did this bird go? Back in time? It's got the Meringue Series. It's fun. That shit's crazy.

I love that we just like, we had to introduce capitalism to these birds. We had to introduce this system of economics to these creatures just like, no, you see money can be exchanged for goods and services. I'm just glad that grackles are dumb as shit. Like, we have such a grackle problem here. I couldn't deal with it if like grackles were as smart as We'd be done for and they were as smart as we be we'd be dead. We'd be gone. Yeah, it's a they're taken over by now they were a manus I was I was sitting out by home slice a couple of weeks ago and One like it just didn't care that I was sitting there. It like jumped up on the table next, I was sitting outside, it like jumped up on the table next to me.

It was closer to me than you are right now, Gavin. Like it got right up next to me and we're just like looking at me with it's cold, little dead eye. Probably asking for a sugar packet. Come on, man. No one told it that you were a prick. Cause I was like, I could,

I, and in my mind, I was like, I could probably pick this crackle up If I wanted to it's like it is right next to me the staring right at me. You just went I love the idea of just very like Surely but very smoothly and and and and carefully just picking a bird up This is mine now. Yeah, I have a bird But like a pet bud. I think it'd be cool. I think it depends on the bird Yeah, I saw I went to make a real medium. Oh what they make a real mess. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's fair

They're so loud if you get like Yeah, yeah, it's fair. They're so loud. If you get like Burnt like nice birds that like are beautiful and live and live in cages. Just really are just smelly. I They're awful. They're just really I dare. They're so loud and smelly. You've found a bud in aquarium I went to an aquarium for my birthday when I was a kid and it was one of the aquariums where they have the bird shows Where that like the birds of prey swoop down over the crowd and like pick up food. They had a volunteer come down. It was another birthday kid. He was like yummy the meat. He was like eight. He comes down and they put the food in his hand and the guys like all right everybody watched the bird do this thing. They sent the bird up to the back and then the bird came down

and almost pecked the kids eye out. Oh my god. Yeah, like straight. I was in the back of the little seating the coliseum area and I could see like blood running down the kids face. Oh my god. So just missed the eye and got his face. Yeah, it was so it was like right like under his eye. The one at that sweet eye juice. Tonight on lawsuits. Right to the to the lady. She was like, oh, it seems like we have a little accident. Okay, we're gonna end the show. What are we, everybody?

Just go ahead. Make our way out and just talking to him. Like, you're fine. The bird has a taste for blood. We must put it down immediately. She handled it very well. I was losing my mind. Scargly Fulip, I hate birds terrifying.

Uh, the, I, so this is like, I mean, that is tragic. That a kid got caught in the face. But it's so I went to a, I went to a, I went to a medieval times. Uh, I was an adult, funny enough. And, uh, in Dallas, I was doing a Master Pancake show up there. And, uh, just like, Hey, you want to go to medieval times? Haven't been to one of those since I was a kid. Let's go.

So we went and they do the bird same thing. They do like the bird show that they really have like a falcon, like, you know, catch meat or whatever out of the air or what have you. And you know, the announcers on the microphone, like, behold, as, you know, Godrick the falcon takes the meat out of the, and then at one point the bird lands, like, we kind of bring a sort of a goes off script, the, the bird lands on someone's table, and just the complete dropping of the accent of just being like, please do not touch the bird. Watch as Godrick soles, please do not touch the bird. This is the bird.

This is the key. We please refrain from getting near the bird. We go, I'll be,, then, then, you know, the handler had to go get it. They had someone go, but yeah, then it flew back out. But just like, I love the, like, the performative aspect completely ending on a dime to be like, you're now in danger. Right. Exactly. I was like, going from, like, yeah, from going from theater to essentially, like, like subway stop notifications, like that.

I was, I was taking the flying lesson a couple of weeks ago and we were doing, we were practicing landings out at Smithville. Like not a very busy airport, you touch and goes. And while we're out there, I kept seeing birds circling around the airport, you know, on thermals and stuff and I would point them out to my instructor, like do we need to be careful?

Like there's birds here, there's birds there. He's like, you think yeah yeah, just keep it on him. For the most part, like birds are scared of the propeller. Like, they hear the sound and they will get out of your way. And I was like, well, okay, that's good to know. So we finished doing all our touch and goes and we're coming back to Austin to land at Bergstrom. And we're going to fly back to Austin.

I'm in control, I'm flying the plane. And I look out to my right and I see a hawk like flying straight at us. And I tell my instructor, I'm flying the plane and I look out to my right and I see a hawk like flying straight at us And I tell my instructor I'm like that bird doesn't look like it's afraid of us And he turns and looks and the hawk like it comes right up to the window I swear it looks like it looked at both of us and Then it like turned around a fluid way, but like from my instructor's perspective. He's looking forward He looks to the right sees the bird. I hear him make a, ah, no, take the controls and back into the left.

Because like, it was right. It was bulletin' right for us. I love this bird, like, when, in the wind now, in the wind. You're in my world. You were adopted by the wings. I was born to this. Absolutely terrifying. Hawks are f**k birds are fast. Yeah, it piss about. We're almost out of time. We didn't even get to talk about Red vs Blue. I wanted to talk about Red versus Blue. We talked all about Red versus Blue family shatters starting up soon. Got a couple of weeks ago. We'll have Christian on. We'll just spend like 90 minutes talking about Red versus Blue. And we failed to.

We should have talked about a lot of birds. It's entirely in its entirety. Are they related? Who's to say? Watch Red versus Blue. See it right here. Down below. We'll show up. Family shatters premiering October 20th For recent teeth first yep, and the 21st for a general public and for YouTube So it's like a non-canonical Yeah, they're yeah, it's very it's essentially a spin-off of zero. So it's not an official

Equal season or anything like that. Yeah, it it's just 10, 3 to 5 minute short goofy episodes of some fun nonsense. Is it a Ristatief production? You know, I don't think I have the liberty to disclose that information. I said, when we first started the podcast and people in chat, we're like, have Christian say and have Christian say I was like no, I'm not gonna ask Christian to say you could say this was a ruse to teeth production was a little cap on it

Yeah, I can I kind of be honest about that that production line sure I hate it What do you mean it? It's such a bad take. It's so poorly- Which it again. Do it right now, isn't it? Yeah, because it's like, it starts off so like, oh, this, and it just turns into me. This is the rooster teeth product. It just falls off so hard.

Oh, hard. Give us a take, too. This is the better one. I don't know if anyone's gonna use it. This is the better one. This is a rooster teeth production. There you go. There we go.

Use it. Yeah, use that one. You can only say the line bar. Say it. Say the line, Bart. I didn't imagine you giving it so much head movement when you originally did. You're like, you got to put energy into it. Don't judge the process.

You go, but no, I'm not. I always pitch you just search still when you're saying it. Yeah, and that was the thing. and now the Rooster Teeth production dancers All right Oh, who's this in chat?
