It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only only on peacock. Oh, you're... Ah! Everybody, Matt, you're always so musical. The bug is a shit on me how musical you are. Because I'm doodly doodin over here. That's how I start the musicalness. Well, it's like, don't you, do you have, by the way, it's Bernie,

we're here with Matt Hollum, I'm gonna see you. Hello, everybody. I'm not how long we know each other now? 300 years. No, I'm serious. How long is it really okay? Actually, it has been less, I'm gonna,

23 years. It's like going on 25 years, yeah. It's guess, I think we just start rounding up. Yeah, it's guess that's I think it was certain point we just start rounding up. Yeah, yeah, after that, running off after 25. Or just like this, we hit the ceiling. That's impossible. We have to not know each other after this. It really doesn't seem possible. Yeah. Little known fact, I taught Matt how to hit it. Apparently, it's 100% true. That's crazy. That's 100% true. And old time. Maybe machine.

The A B role was two tape decks. This is before the control anything. Yeah. There was nothing digital ever. Not even a Casio calculator didn't exist. And say in putting right boobs and turning it turn it upside down. That's true. That's the main reason to have a calculator. And it's I wrote hello. I was a good kid.

No, I had to go around writing boobs. No, no, no, no, no to that. You and it's. I wrote hello, I was a good kid. I had to go around writing boobs. No, no, no, no, no to that. You're no fun. I was, uh, went down to the TV station. I'd worked there about a year. Yeah. And there was only, I think like eight of us working at the TV station. If that, yeah.

And they weren't really working. There were more bats than people. It was in the University of Texas. Yeah. I didn't realize how rabid bats are back then. I don't think we realized that at the University of Texas. Yeah, I really like how rabbit bats are back then. I don't think we realized that at the time. Yeah. We'd like to push them out with our hands, like get them out of this.

And they weren't like friendly fun bats, like the kind you'd have on a logo for a sports team. They were like vicious snarling blood drip. They was Dracula. There's no point. There was like seven Dracula's down there. At which a bat is approachable. Like when they fly, first of all, they don't look like they should be flying because they just flap like fucking crazy.

They look like they can't fly. Yeah. When they fly. They look at the fake it. That's not happening at all. The Burntle's sore. Even a bird if it's indoors, like do you see a bird in the grocery store? Got trapped in there?

Kids are always fascinated by that. By the way, they get freak out about a bird that gets trapped in the grocery store. What birds do you look like grocery grocery store are you going to now? You're gonna like, you know, or foods or something. Then there's birds flying around inside. That, has anyone ever seen a bird in a grocery store before?

Am I the only person who's ever seen a bird? Oh, get that. Thumbs up from the control room. Okay. You got a touch mat. Sorry. I guess I don't go grocery shopping. I've reached your office.

I'm too much favor in my life. But, yeah, birds will soar, bats don't soar. Like when I go see the bats at Congress, they look like they're flying. They're so many of them. They're falling with style. They're just flapping. They just flap, flap, flap.

And then if they land, they, their, their hands are like the, the, the, the pivot of their wing, and they do this number. I like that. I like that. I like that they have the hands on the wings. So good. Because that seems like God just couldn't decide.

You know what, give them both, let's see what happens and it turns out nothing good. It's like a rat that had like a little bit of extra scheme here and then over time it evolved. It's like the Simpson's episode where was like the evil Bart made the pigeon rats. You guys know, so many members that. Oh, I was gonna just talk to Gus about this, Bart made the pigeon rats? Do you guys remember somebody remembers that? Oh, I was gonna just talk to Gus about this,

but did you ever tell you when I was a kid, I used to microwave mosquitoes and release them? Oh my God. This is my hope was that... Were you never shaperoned? Never. At all. No.

No, my parents were just never around. My kids, I was like, I think I was a home by myself when I was like six on. And if my, I would never let my kids go in. They didn't have the internet. No. So where did you get the napalm recipe? So this is a good whole set of stories. So a buddy of mine had an Atari computer, like an Atari 800.

His name is Neuro Patel. And fake name. Yeah, totally fake name. No, it's real name. And his brother, older brother, who I don't remember his name, he had a Atari both characters from Spartacus. We downloaded the Anarchus. Yes, Nero. He had like a 300 bought the name. Paul took us like two days to download a text file that was the anarchist cookbook. Remember that anarchist cookbook? Yeah that? The anarchist cookbook. There's two things in the 80s.

FBI, remember two. Yeah. Two things in the 80s. Going a list, buddy. Growing up was like complete contraband. One was the anarchist cookbook, and the other was faces of death. The video, yeah.

Which now that's like a subreddit. Right. You know, just where you can go and watch people who get killed in accidents. Yeah. But you would have to go to the back of a video store. It was like an urban legend, this face of death thing. I feel like that's every subreddit though.

Like, hold my beer is basically that. Oh, everybody's just dying. Yeah, it's just hilarious. It would be interesting to see the number of internet videos where the person at the end just dies. And you just don't know it. It's so nice. You don't ever know.

Like the guy slips on the ice and bangs his head and you're like, ah, that's hilarious. And then he died through. Three weeks later. Yeah. So, okay, so I gotta break something down for you here. Okay. I can actually over here. And I have run into a bit of an issue with Ashley.

What? Is it when you say, actually, she thinks you're saying her name. No, I do call her actually now. I call her all the time. Constantly, strangers. I call her actually around the house. So I do. I say, actually, when I want to her actually now. All the time. Yeah. Constantly strangers. I call her actually around the house. So I do. I say actually when I want to get her name.

Yeah, so this eclipse is coming up. Are you guys doing anything for the eclipse? You know, I was thinking about doing something for the eclipse and then I realized it was too lazy and it's not going to happen. Well, you're in luck anyway, because both of our kids, they start school the day of the fucking eclipse. That's true. It's the same day. That's true.

So that's got to be like a sign of the apocalypse. Well, it is for a kid. Yeah. Yeah. You go to school and the sun goes out. So the sun goes out. Yeah. If you're in the path.

Isn't it true that all the hotels, am I going to preempt your thing? No. All the hotels in the line of the eclipse are like rented out. You can't get a hotel. That's true. It goes from like what, Washington state to South Carolina or something like that? Yeah, it goes the other way,

it goes South Carolina to Washington, but yeah. Thank you. Yeah, but yeah, you can't get a hotel anywhere in there. Well, we have been looking at going to a number of different places. Have you? One of the places, and I talked about the podcast earlier,

one of the places we were considering going, that was the actual plan was to go to Salt Lake City, right, Ashley? Oh, is that them? Is that it? Yeah, well, the original plan, I think you wanted to go to Nashville. Is that, okay, good.

I'm glad you remember that being the original plan. But we pivoted, at some point, the plan was to go to Salt Lake City, which I don't know if you know this, and Ashley is from Salt Lake City. I do know that. So our family lives in that area. Yep. And then we were going to drive from there. Beautiful, know that. So our family lives in that area. Yep. And then we're gonna drive from there.

Beautiful, beautiful land. Mountainous. Beautiful area. Two beautiful people from the beautiful land. It's really too hot. She lives in the middle of nowhere. She's like like living this like little. Was it Ogden?

Mud puddle valley. Yeah, it was outside of Ogden. It was like a 30 minute drive, either up a canyon or over the mountain pass. Wow. Yeah, when you were 30 minutes outside of Ogden. Yeah, they don't even name it. You're out there.

You're just like, go pass the mountain. I actually tell the really terrible story about growing up. The mountain people. Speaking about being left alone, you know, it gets really cold in Utah. Yeah. And her dog froze to death. Dogs in multiple.

Oh, really? Oh, Lord. And she had like, it's like a game of thrones episode. I had to pull them out of them going on. The perrofros, you had to like Thrones episode I had to pull them out of them going on the perrofoss You had to like pull them out like rip them out. I had to shovel them out of the ice Because their bodies melted the ice when they died and then froze Well before my little brother little sister saw it. I and then what'd you do with them? I don't remember

You really I just remember I just remember chipping them out of the ice and being really sad about it That's a hole for you. I and being really sad about it. Oh over you I don't know it's nine. Oh That's terrible. We lost our fish. Did we tell you that in our house? Oh you had the fish pond Yeah, not fish like in a tank right no not fish tank fish like those three fish that were in the pond. Yeah, they all died They all died. So of natural causes or some foul play involved. It was innocent foul play, but it was definitely the fault of humans.

I can tell you, I suspect the bats. If they're flappy wings came down with their wing hands. Also, why is the bats wings? Why are they so vain? It's so bad. That's just not a good word. It's this gross dude. It's so gross.

So not to go back too far off the topic. Why would we be able to actually mess up our eclipse trip? So eclipse. But I, at that TV station with the Batsworth, that's when I taught in the editing class and one of the people who took the editing class, I didn't remember this, was Matt home, took it. Yeah, I'm so glad I made such a big impression on you.

Right out of the gate. Listen, the teacher student relationship is one that's in balance to say to Lee. I wasn't a hot co-ed, so. I was not on the list to be remembered. How dare you, that was my sexual opioid advice job. So we were going to Utah, and then I had a brilliant idea when I thought it was not the 21st of August,

but I thought it was the 18th of August. There's so many bad websites associated with this clip. I'm getting mad. But there are. There's like, they don't even say the dates don't say where anything is. Well, that's true. Even the NASA ones kind of garbagey. What's that get?

Cause NASA got your money. Get together NASA. There you go, brothers. Come on. What's that? What are you doing? That one. That one inspired hate tweets.

Brandon's making it. Brandon was making the international sign for match which will come for your second Here you can give to me Brandon. No one's gonna everyone wants to see you and say hello. Thank you, buddy. Where do you get these? All right, camping Cameron. Oh, that makes more sense than camping. We were gonna go to Salt Lake City Yes, I had the brilliant idea. Let's call your dad and make it like a family thing Oh boy, he got super excited about it I had the brilliant idea. Let's call your dad and make it like a family thing. And let's go. He got super excited about it. So let's take the boys.

They got my dad hasn't met the boys yet. None of my family has. He's really looking forward to it. It's been meeting two for years now. And so Bernie contacted my dad, which is a very sweet move. With the wrong date. So then I found out.

Well, you didn't know the date of the clip? No, because the shitty website said, went to you to some told me it was on the 18th of August. And so, then we find out the kids couldn't go because they had to his first day of school. They can't miss the first day of school. Well, I wonder if the kids will even get let out of school to look at the damn thing. Well, I remember what being in school as a kid and there was an eclipse. And they're like, run outside and just tear it to the sun.

Right? I got goggles. Do you have goggles? They do the paper plate. They put the whole in the paper plate. They put the whole in the paper plate. Or the thing that you look down, so this is like basically the shadow of it. Yeah, I think that's the paper plate.

We're just gonna stupid. It's like, shadow. Yeah. You know? It is weird to get hyped about something you can't look at. You can't look at. Yeah, that's weird. But I got, I went online and and got I got tons of these like special

I for some reason I thought somewhere in this story. It was gonna be revealed that somebody was a flat-earther She made that comment the other day that she said it's amazing how flat the world is and I was like well don't say that Oh, come on. You're taking that out of context. We were looking like out at the ocean and it's just Like a flat line all the way across. And I was thinking about the statistic that in like if you were to scale the earth down to, like a cube all size, it would be smoother than a cube all. It is, that's true.

The standard deviation from the... The nice flat surface. Just because it's round doesn't mean it's not flat. You say flat. You have two young impressionable minds around you all the time. You can't go around talking about the Earth being flat. Matt Bernie, two young impressionable. Then listen to me, they're playing PUBG with you.

There's, they're like, they're saving you. Constantly, you're setting them into the line of fire. So here's the problem where I've got now. I want to hear this. So it's looking, this is literally like next weekend. Okay. We got to make the travel plans to go do this. It's looking like we're really next weekend. Well, it's on the 18th. No, it's got a travel the weekend though. Traveled AZ 18th and now it looks like we can't go to Salt Lake City. I mean, we could slum it here in Austin and get that 70%.

Oh, who wants that disgusting. So we got to go. Disgusting 70%. Some were to see a 100% eclipse. Of course you do. Yeah. Now it looks like we can't go. So now who is responsibility to think it is to talk to actually dad and say, hey, we have to change our plans

or we're not going to be able to come to this trip that you're super excited about? Should it be the daughter that he raised for 18 years or should be some guy that she knows. So random, random, good could be any random guy. Yeah, it's something stupid of a hat. Just like that's what I am. Maybe, maybe somebody else send a link to this podcast. Problem solved. We got to tell them before this goes on YouTube. I think you should tell them before it goes on YouTube. You, you're the one who contacted my dad and got him all excited to go on a road trip and get his trailer out of storage

and go get his trailer out of storage? Did he? Probably, it's probably airing out right now. You know how excited he gets about these things. And I want to be clear, I have not been in contact with him at all. My dad takes him more than I do. I'm a terrible daughter.

But you contacted him. You got his hopes up. You let them down again. Also, by the way, I got a text from my sister because he's talking to all my family about the fact that we're coming now. Oh, no. Damn.

That's bad. That's bad. All this is is a setup for you having to do an even bigger trip. Somebody just followed me with the actual family. That's not a joke. Who are you serious? I think like when you cousin's just followed them. What?

Just notified me. Is that actually true? I think that might actually be true. Well, my dad's just actually actually. My dad's just figured out Twitter. Yeah. It's good. It could be him.

Do you talk to how often are you liking contact with honest parents? You're lovely wife on never met before You avoided the whole thing You have seen pictures. I hear they're nice You know what I was thinking about the other day It's a fair to say there was been pressure on you over the years when you moved to Austin for school Yeah originally being from Atlanta Georgia Atlanta Georgia lovely city lovely city when you moved to Austin for school, yeah, originally being from Atlanta, Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia, lovely city, lovely city.

It is moved to Austin for school. Yes, on a wet to school in Tennessee, somewhere in America, Memphis, Tennessee, was it Memphis? Yes, area that area. And she, her plan initially was always moved back to Atlanta. Atlanta, then you were in Austin, but then you even went even further way, you went all the way to LA. That's right. And then made your way back to Austin.

That's right. I thought I might just move out to like a houseboat in the middle of Pacific. Just keep going. See how far I could go. Go to the Antipode of Atlanta. I'm not going to go as far as Guam, because I won't exist soon, but you know, just see what happens.

Are you worried about that? Maybe I don't have to talk to Ashley's dad. Well, oh yeah, well, maybe not. Maybe just Trump and Korea will get mad at each other. Yeah, maybe so. We'll be done. Yeah, genuinely are you worried about it? Because I think for a lot of young people, this is the first time in their life that people have

set the words nuclear war. Right, and I was trying to think about it in the context of when we grew up, which was during the Cold War. We talked about it like every other day. Yeah, and I remember thinking, when I was a kid, we thought, I mean, I feel like we thought like every week there could be a nuclear war. And there was always stuff in popular culture.

TV shows. Lots of TV shows, I remember like movies that were like, the day after or. The day after was horrifying. Right, or all those kinds of movies that were like, it's like, it's gonna happen, just win, right? Yeah. And we haven't been in that head space just, you know, in the public mindset

in a long time. And so it's weird just to have people talking about it. Like, before you can even think about, like, is it real? Is there something to be concerned about? It's just like, it's weird. Like, we're in even think about, like, is it real, is there something to be concerned about? It's just like, it's weird. Like, we're in the future, right? I feel like we're in the future.

Like, you know, we're at the point where we have autonomous cars. I started an article today about, the airlines are ready to just turn over planes to autonomous flying. Yeah, you know, because- And like, but will people fly in them? Like, most planes are autonomous for like 95% of the drive. was flying. Yeah, you know, because, but will people flying them? But will people flying them? Plains are autonomous for like 95% of the drive.

Autopilot's the word that everyone uses for that. Exactly. Exactly. And, but, you know, you always think like, okay, well, what do we get out of the future? You know, we get flying cars and we get robots and we get all this stuff. And it seems like, oh, all of our problems are solved.

But no, our problems aren't solved because there's still like crazy people. What are your thoughts? To me, the big shift that took place in the 80s, and it might have been a little bit before that, was if you look at movies, there was I think a turning point in which when people talked about the future,

it was all about how we were gonna build big, incredible things. And then it shifted to in the, when the world is destroyed. And it was a shift. It's like, with the Jetsons, we were living in the sky and everything. Star Trek, we're exploring the stars. Everything in the 80s is like, when the nuclear holocaust happened in 1997. You know what I mean? And it's like, everything became that.

Everyone's view of the future became apocalypse. And it's stuck for a long time. Like, that has been pervasive, but this talk of like nuclear war and everything. No, not really. Not really. You're just kind of an ambiguous apocalypse. Or like every apocalypse thing is the same.

Like even ours. Like the apocalypse thing is like always, you know, something's missing. It's water or fuel, day five, it's sleep. Right. Something's missing. Sanity is not usually the thing that's missing. But that is what's missing right now. Well, we have the evaporation of truth.

Like no one can say that anything is true. Right. There's nothing anymore that can be accepted. That's an accepted fact. Well, I say what, we're gonna have this eclipse on the 18th. And then we'll see what's true. Well, that's not. Did you mean the weird staff at the eclipse path

goes over all like Trump counties? That's just a weird thing. Oh, come on. If you're somebody the hoping to post, saw that they were like, I have my head like for today. Oh, come on. Thank God. This is it.

I can talk about this. So what are we gonna do, Ashley? Can we tell your dad that it's nuclear war? And that we're scared? Are you trying to get out of telling my dad anything? That's what it sounds like. Well, I will talk to him. I'll do one more text him right now.

That's great, that's a great excuse though. Nuclear war. Can't make it, gotta build a bunker. I can see what he'll say here. Duck and cover Sorry pops That's a good excuse. I'm looking for an excuse. Oh Gosh, I don't want to send this text. I'm gonna try to help you help you write this. It looks like We might have to change plans. Yeah, I'm gonna check some right text them right now

Change plans text them right now. Change plans. Ashley is very sorry. That is her fault. Slanted smiley emoji. Oh man. Is that a good? You're going to see the emoji movie? Slanted smile. Well, John invited me apparently. Hey, your kid's not dragged you to see the emoji movie. Thank God they have not. you're better kids than I do Yeah, tell them that my kids took me to the motion movie They really asked me went to opening day. I did wow opening

Terrible dude it's unfuck unbelievable. Yeah, do you watch Silicon Valley? But I do teaching Miller left Silicon Valley to work on stuff like the emotion I know keep bringing this up But it's just baffling to me. He had seen the movie he had been in the movie. He knew he must have known Maybe it was going to be yeah before he made that decision and he was excited. Yeah Yeah You got to listen. I don't know what to say there. It's a worth a different but cultural basis to go see it Okay, here's our mind your dad. It looks like we might have to change plans

What I am I don't want to say Wrong gonna apologize for getting his hopes up. So wrong number new phone who does sorry Say it's all my fault. I am the worst. I am not the best. Looks like we might have to change plans if that's the case. So he's, I got, well, he's busy. I get one of these things. He went to your father.

I'm not lying. What I want to know is like, what kind of guy is your dad? Is he like, well, he take retribution on Bernie as he should. No, he'll be nice. He'll be nice. He'll put his trailer back in storage. He'll say, he'll say, it's fine. We'll see you again some other time. How long has it been since you've been home? Oh, more than a year. Yeah, you're the child though. I'm just the guy in the hat. Yeah, but he wouldn't be sad right now if you hadn't got his hopes up, Bernie. I don't know. I have a strategy and it's just ongoing constant disappointment.

I try not to break that trend. Do you think you're a bad daughter? Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. You know, Bernie, their Christmas presents are still next to your car. That is true. That is true.

That is true. There's a box in the garage that I have to step over every time I go to get my car and it's the Christmas presents. From last Christmas. Well, yeah, not from next Christmas. You could just double up this coming Christmas. I'm considering it. They're already wrapped. What's wrong with the wrong? Just make them a clips presents.

Why do you think you're like that? We can make a new holiday. Everybody give each other a present on it, the eclipse. I mean, I spent enough time overseas. There are no Christmas presents. There's no urgency to pretty much any of it. I'm not going spent enough time like overseas. It was like, there are no Christmas presents. There's no urgency to pretty much any of it. I'm not gonna see you for years at a time. And that's okay.

I moved back, I never quite got back into the habit of like, they're seeable if that makes sense. What? Like, you know, when you get, like, I was, I was thousands and thousands and thousands of miles away. Yeah. And when you lived in Australia.

You know, 24 hours of traveling to come see them. So I saw them twice the whole time I lived overseas. And when I moved back, I just never, that never changed just because they were closer. Hmm, I get it. So you got in the habit of just not being in the habit of seeing them. Yeah.

So you go away to put it. Yeah, although they don't want, they also don't come visit me. And I have a chip in my shoulder about that when we can tell you. In the future, it's a lot faster if you just say terrible daughter. It's just, it's a lot faster. I did, I said that earlier.

How many, I mean, yeah, terrible. So clearly you feel like you have some liberty. What? To not, well, I'm, let me finish. You know, you're not overly concerned about pissing off her family. I'm very concerned about it. What makes you think that I'm not concerned about it? Because you're not doing this thing that you can do.

That we go to Salt Lake City. Actually, no, listen, it was explained to me. Here's by her dad. But it sounds like her dad is a very forgiving gentleman. He is. And he won't hold it against you. I hope not. See you with Anna's family.

So like half of Anna's family is Sicilian. Right. Right. So there's really like, there's nothing you can do there. Right. You got to be all in or all out. Do you ever tell you like her like ancestors, right? Maybe I told the story in the podcast.

I can't remember now about her ancestors coming to the United States from Italy. From Sessas. I don't think I know this story. Okay, I'm doing this in the big trap by the way with podcast stories. The other person goes, no, I'm never heard of this. Yeah, well, so I'm probably so listening.

But so like her great, great grandfather or great, great uncle or great, great uncle or something like that, like 100 years ago, immigrated to, when they immigrated to the US, it was like because, great, I'm gonna say great, great uncle, I don't remember what it was. It was a great, great, great uncle, his wife had an affair with his cousin or something. Oh, I know this story, right?

And so he caught them and was gonna kill them, I guess. And not I guess, he was gonna fucking kill them. And so they, they heightailed it and they were like, let's go try this new continent over there. Let's go to America. So they get it, they get over there and they're kids, they're already right. So it takes the babies and they end up in the US.

You took the guys kids too? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So he's like, well, fuck this, right? And he's like, he's like a farmer in Sicily. And he's like, I'm just gonna hunt these people down. I don't know where they went, but he like saved his money when he bought like this pearl handled pistol. And then he follows them to New York and New Jersey. Really? Yeah, yeah. Follows them to New York and New Jersey. And then he spends like 15 years like walking the streets

of New York trying to find them to kill them. Just to run into them. Just to run in them. Because he had no idea where they were. He knew they were somewhere, because everybody went in through Palestine. And they did it somewhere there. So he's like walking the streets for like 15 years with this Pearl Handle pistol where he ate especially like designated like,

you know, it's bullet with your name on it kind of thing. Right? Wow. And after 15, 20 years, can't find them. But the kids find him, right? And they're like, Dad, what do you do? We know, we thought, you know, you were dead or whatever. It's like, you know, figure a whole thing out.

It's like, well, listen, you're not going to kill mom. We're not going to tell you where she is. You know, this is crazy. Let us take you back home. To Italy. To Italy, right? And so, you know know let's get over this vengeance thing and 15 years right just get over it right yeah and we're gonna

get the time to grow up during this thing right so it takes it's all I boat right so it's like I don't know how long three months four months on a boat right so they go back from New York back to Sicily. Give me like there's a lavender farmer. Isn't that a great image? So many great images in this. Pearl handle pistol on lavender farmer. Lavender farmer.

Is lavender a flower? It's purple. Sure. It's a purple farm. Sounds good. So it gets back to his purple flower farm. And it'd been like taken over by older surrounding farms, like basically it'd been dived up.

You'd like to be gone for 10, 15 years, right? So he has nothing, right? There's nothing there. It's like, well, you know what, I'm screwed, can't live here anymore. I have a little bit of life know life going on in New York So I'm gonna go back there tries to go back in the meantime. He has developed glaucoma Which at the time was something they prevented you from entering the United States if you had glaucoma?

Yes, okay, you get to Ellis Island. They're like oh, you have glaucoma. Nope not happening The puff I don't know who knows what they did, the puff? I don't know, the air puffers, what they did there. They're puffed? Yeah. They're probably just like, thunked you in the eye or something. I don't know. It's a good song, something. But it gets all the way back.

So it's like years and years of traveling, right? It's not like, you know, today it's like, you didn't hop on a jet and he's over there. It's like, you're on a filthy, like, he's probably in steerage, you know, like the people who died on the Titanic, that's him, right, in the bottom of theage, you know, like the people who died on the Titanic, that's him. Yeah. Right, in the bottom of the ship, you know, with the rats.

And finally, he makes it back all the way to Ellis Island. And they're like, no, you lived here before, but you have a cloud coming out, so get the fuck out. Go back. Go back. And so he goes back to Sicily and he just dies a pauper. Wow. Yeah.

All because his wife slept with her cousin? Yeah. Oh, honestly, if that happened to be like, I dodged a bullet there. If I married somebody who's sleeping with her cousin. Yeah, or a bullet? His cousin or her cousin? I think.

Doesn't matter. Probably, probably the same. Right, so basically I can't fuck with that side of the family. Yeah, we're gonna go to Salt Lake for the eclipse Ashley that's the plan now. We're going to Salt Lake after that story So so the lesson is don't fuck with my dad don't fucking anybody's dad Unless they have glaucoma then you're in the clear you're good What happened to the pistol? Is that like it passed down to the family? Oh, man, wouldn't that be great? I would yeah, it should have right

I'll have to dig up that. I'm sure he probably had to sell it. It's something he probably got back and that was like, that's a good dramatic conclusion for this, right? So he gets back and he has to sell the pro handle pistol just to, I mean, that's the person he sells to, like, pulls off a man and the guy and he shoots him. That's what it is.

Well, did I even say, David just freeing by the time I was in a, to like pulls off a mask and the guy and he shoots him. That's what it is. Well, did I retain David James for a month of time? I was in a, we were at one of our screenings for Red vs. Blue at the Lincoln Center and we all went out to drink at Irish bar. Oh yeah, what my sister was there? Yeah, yeah, Jake, your sister was there. And let's say, can we, can we, can we, can we,

no, no, I know, no, I know, no, no. All right, no. Why would you even want to bring it up? I don't know why you would want to bring it up There's too because it's not a true story. Okay, but why not a true story There's two stories that we tell and here's a story that I told about how you and I met I don't know what I would say that though I would you bring it up because I don't want to tell everybody I don't tell it I don't go around I wasn't gonna tell it here. Okay, But now you're gonna bring it up. Now I have to tell it.

Do you brought up? Now I have to tell the story correctly. I was a destiny. That's not the real story. Okay. I stopped telling the story. That's not the truth. I stopped telling the story.

I didn't have to tell the story either. Do you brought it up just now? Why would I tell it? You tell. I said, I'm still in New York. You're sitting in New York. You came into my sister for the rest of my life. Matt has a very good looking sister.

Oh my God. And when you're 21, 22 years old, your friend's comment on that. Yeah. And I commented on how good looking your sister was. So Matt tells the story for the next 25 years, he tells it this way. And Bernie came up to me and goes, yeah man, your sister looks just like you. She's so fucking hot. And who would say those words?

Who would say that You tell you embellish the story with this thing where I can't go anywhere I wouldn't even think of that in the first place Why would I make that up because she's your sister and your man, but oh, what am I about? Because your friend is going to your sister hot hot, dude, what's going on? Oh my God. James lovely by the way. Anyway, Bernie and I used to date. Ha ha ha ha ha.

We actually lived together. We lived together for a long time. How long do we live together like five years? Was it that long? How about our apartment had rats? Oh, you know, it probably, what we probably like actually really had the apartment together for five years,

but didn't actually live there together for five years. Yeah, you moved away to LA. Yeah. Yeah, you enjoyed it when you guys were doing your LA stuff. Yeah. And then Vic, the actual person Vic showed up at the apartment to replace you because you were staying in this place in Venice.

Yeah, we switched. Did you find that place? I remember that place wasn't Venice. I do, I remember exactly where it is. It was on Navy at the end of the street. It's the last department building on the right. By the way, 100% ruined my impression of real estate in Los Angeles, because the first place that Matt lived

in Los Angeles was literally half a block off of Venice Beach. It's unbelievable. Like you would walk out the front door, turn to your right and there's the fucking ocean right there. If anybody who's listening or watching knows, like, right, we're Venice and Santa Monica, like kind of where the border is, it's technically Venice, it's Navy Street, there's a,

Davy Jones liquor locker. Yeah. Is there in the corner? Basically, starting Santa Monica. When you get to the ocean, start walking south, you get mugged. And then you're exactly as soon as you get mugged, you know, you're in the right place. Yeah. I was looking at I was looking at like I used to, you know, where he's you're always where I used to park. At church. No, no, I, well, I, sometimes I

just have to park wherever. Yeah. No, no, no, place to park. But I would park behind a dumpster. And if they didn't put the dumpster back in just the right way, but I would park behind a dumpster. And if they didn't put the dumpster back in just the right way, you couldn't park there. But it was a designated space. It was like, it was supposed to be a real space, but it was like, it was like parking space slash dumpster. And they were just like encroaching the space.

Yeah, so it was like, it was the weirdest situation because it was like the apartment itself was kind of scuzzy and gross But it was like it was right in the ocean. So you just didn't care You know, it was it was an interesting Interesting first place to live in LA. It was and like I said as someone you were just out of college We had no money whatsoever No, and you you lived half a block from the beach. I still don't understand

I'm going to move down with us and Then so it was me and Vic and because Vic had come back half a block from the beach. I still don't understand that. At one point Joel moved in with us. And then so it was me and Vic, and because Vic had come back, I remember what was going on in Austin at that time. I guess you just had the apartment to yourself. I did. At that point.

And then he came down just paying out. But then after that he came back. What did he go back and forth twice? Yeah he did. At some point he came back to Venice. And so it was, and then Joel had come either right before or right after that or something.

And so all three of us were together, and that's when Vic would trick us into eating weird things. Oh, trick you, not me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no kind of a prankster. He's much like, and you never believe it has Saminella. Hello. This is by the way, if you haven't figured out yet, this is the guy that the character Vic and Vick is based on. Because we all had big impressions.

We changed, we changed his name though. Yes. His name's Vic anymore. I don't remember his real name. I believe his name is now Lucian. Lucian, that's good, huh? Yeah. And also,

good friends with Bill Nye, right? Weird connection, Bill Nye. Yeah, I think is it good friends with Bill Nye and also Freddy Freddy Wong. Yeah, I think he taught Freddy Wong at USC. Oh right like which was the weirdest connection I think and Freddy told me that he put the connection together independently. He's like oh really? I really from what I understand Freddy Wong years before we met him was the guy who showed Vic red versus blue and said this guy is based on you. Yeah, that's totally me. Dude, I can't believe they're doing my life like that. I'm saying that.

I'm like, dude. Alright, well since our CEO actually gave anything else you want to add before we say good evening to you, I have to do business in front of the CEO here. No, I think we agreed that that it's your fault. So I'm done here. Okay, but for the record, Matt looks nothing like his sister. I just want to be clear with you about that. No, I'm not. She's hot though. She's hot though. She can't. There we go. There we go. There we go. I'm going to find a picture. And yeah, she's a good looking lady. You know, find a Photoshop thing with Matt's face. Oh my God, that's great.

Somebody just photoshopped me one more here. All right. Sweet that. So everyone knows how much our podcast host Gus loves his dogs, Oswald and Benjamin. Are those their names? Gus was telling me that he was on the lookout for cool functional accessories for his dogs. Actually, come on back for a second. And he came across awesome new color called Link AKC.

And it's not just a collar. You know, I was said to him about this when he's telling me about this thing. I asked him if they have it for cats. Also, when he goes, no, this is a dog collar. Is that that's it's terrible? Don't be snooty cats need callers to because cats will actually leave your yard and go somewhere else. They need people to be able to be like, you belong to this person.

Joe, the cat is a dog size cat. So he, I hopefully we can get one for him. But this is backed by the American Kennel Club. The link, excuse me, the link A K C collar is a GPS locator, awesome fitness tracker and more all controlled through a smartphone app. And because Gus is basically obsessed with dogs, Gus loves the GPS locator because it tells him exactly where his dogs are.

I'm also obsessed with knowing where my pets are at all points time. There's no more, did they get out of the yard and the dog walker take them where they're supposed to go. You can see exactly where your dog is at all times right on your smartphone app. It's a complete piece of mind for dog owners.

I can't, I just like, I don't know, be great for cats, but it would be just like, just a flat lot all this all day long. Oh, stop it. How dare you? Everyone who sees this thing loves it. It's easy to set up with sizes for every dog and even one, the CES Best of Innovation Award of 2017 Link A.K.C. is super comfortable and looks great on Oswald and Benjamin.

Whatever the other one's name is. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I feel like I'm gonna get one of these things and throw out on Joe the cat just for hell of it. No, that's great.

Remember when Joe went missing for three weeks? We took a brief little vacation this last weekend and we were constantly wishing we had a way to track Joe. You know, the truth is there. We're looking at our, we have cameras that we can see. We were looking at the cameras and watching the cats poop. Right. And we also figured out we now have a pet raccoon.

Yeah. Oh, nice. Well, I just kind of like the raccoon. He came in through the cat's door and he was eating poop out of the litter box. I was like, first that was mad, but I was like, can't get mad at that, bro. I tell you my, my, my uncles, raccoon story. It's the weird stuff. Go ahead. I tell you my uncles, raccoons story. It's a weird segue. Go ahead, just put it here, I'll go to raccoons.

So they had a, living, lives in Dallas. They had like the pet door, like the regular pet door, but you know, in the bottom of the thing, but there's was weird where it came in instead of being in the door, it was in the wall and then it went into a hall closet. Okay. And then there was another space after that. I don't know if they thought like, well, the closet's like a mud room for the animal or what,

what why it's set up that way. It's okay. Yeah. But that's how it was set up. And so, and then one night they heard scratching and, you know know crazy stuff in the kitchen, got up and goes in there and sees a raccoon. And the raccoon's like tearing up the kitchen, eating bread and just doing whatever to horrible.

Yeah. And claws and you know how they are. And it's like, oh man, well, this is a problem, you know, and try to show them out or whatever, but Raccoon comes back later, they realize the problem is the pet door, right? Sure. Come and do that. So, you're going to have to send that immediately, right? Of course.

So, you're trying to edit my story as I tell it. So, they get a cage like it closes when something walks into it, right? Little trap. Little trap. They put that in the closet, right? Where the one little pet door is, right? Comes into there, problem solved, right? Right. In the middle of the night, they hear the,

boom, right? Now the little cage closing and then, I remember it, I remember it. And then just like craziness and like wild banshee, like, like just in scratching and just like horrible horrible stuff for like two hours. And they're afraid to go in the door. It's like, there's this rabbit, ratcoon that's gone nuts, right?

And so finally in the morning they go in there and they open the door and they look in and open a door at eye level, they're looking out to where all their coats and jackets should be and they're all gone. They're like, well, that's weird. And then you look down and the cage is one of those with like the little, you know, like wire mesh with those little hole openings like that big, right? The raccoon had bonked around, crazily gotten so furious and grabbed like thick leather coats and all this crazy stuff and in its fury pulled them into This cage with it and destroyed all of their winter coats like everything like they end all of everything in their closet

Could be a couple grain worth of damage. It could be so they left the house and the raccoon loves their bread self now The wreck die from pulling in all these no no,, no, it was like a box of shrimp. It came here just in the boxes right in close. Okay. Like that. I feel like I should send control a raccoon video that I saw the other day. Can you guys look at the guy who fights the raccoon

on his porch? Raccoon, I'll try to come with a video for you guys. But yeah, don't just don't mess with raccoons. They're just like, they're horrible animals, they're vicious. I ran into- Everybody wants to make a hat out of them, but it's not worth it. You rarely ever run into, we look up raccoon versus man broom. Look up that one, if you could please.

I saw though an animal that I wish I saw more living in Texas, and I think people see, think we see them all the time. What's that? An armadillo, and I saw an armadillo. Oh, when we were in the middle, I've seen them all the time. Yeah, I love them. Oh, they're so stupid.

Yeah, they're like, they're just, there is bad, there is horrible as bad, so in terms of built, they carry, leprosy, leprosy, and you know. I don't know that they give people leprosy though. I also know if you get leprosy if that's like if that's like a done deal It seems like they can cure them now I got like a thing the guy in game of thrones with the scale stuff. Yeah, more or Jora more monster

It's like he looks like he's to me is like if you're from Texas. It looks like he's turning into an armadillo Yeah, pretty much right. That's the disease I did eventually you'll just be able to ball up and roll away the Texas platypus But name for it. They're just so weird to like part pig part hog. Yeah, yeah, parts rat squish Oh Yeah, you get out of here That's I Yeah, they're they're horrible. Oh, apparently, apparently, that with

somebody who was stories previously of that show, that video, she had little babies in that little hose container. So she was not going to leave her babies. Yeah, that'll do. Even if you swing in that. Or it might have had a leather coat in there. Right now. She might as well protect her. Yo, do the cat. You saw an armadillo and that just wish I saw them more, you know, you know, it's, Might've had a leather coat in there right now. She might've had a protective coat. So when you saw an armadillo and... Nah, I just wish I saw the more, you know? You know what's really horrible is armadillo roadkill.

Oh, it's bad. It's just horrible. Oh, it's awful. There was one on the road and it was cracked open like a melon. It was so sad. You guys made this terrible story. It's terrible. Well, I tell you what, I saw the other night.

I went out to, we're shooting blood fest. And so I went out there, because one of the locations we're shooting right now, it's like way out. And there was like a pack of, I couldn't quite tell the reason, either wild dogs or coyotes. They're scary aren't they?

They look more like wild dogs. And there's probably like 10 of them. Yep. And when I came around the corner, it's dark, and it's a desolate, empty road, dirt road, and I came around the corner, and I saw them kind of look over at the car, and then they like scurried off.

And then I like drove up kind of parallel to where they were, and slowed down and looked over, and I see them, and they're all just waiting, looking at me. Like you could tell, like, if this fucker opens the door, makes the wrong move, we got him. Yeah, I ball on you. We are fucking waiting for this guy to do the wrong thing. If he steps out, that's it for him.

It's real, I mean, you can see like the pack mentality, like in their eyes, they're ready to jump out and do some damage. I always think like cats, to to me have the worst poker faces. Oh, you can completely read the intentions on a cat's face. Like the moment something happens and their ears flatten out and their eyes get to be like, what the fuck get away from me? Well, this is one of well known fact.

That's why it's dogs playing poker. I'm not cats. Plank poker. Dogs have better poker faces. Even even when they have the pack mentality. That's right. Even when they have the pack mentality. That's right. That's right. That's what's best going.

Doing a, doing a horror comedy. It's great. It's really great. The cast is awesome. Yeah. Yeah. They're all really cool. And they seem like they're really bonding the way

the day five cast is bonded. Really. They got great chemistry. And Jacob has been hilarious. I think a lot of people, I feel like maybe he might be the most They got great chemistry in Jacob has been hilarious. I think a lot of people, I feel like maybe he might be the most well-known right now because of the Spider-Man movie.

He's really funny. Robbie's just awesome and Seychelles been fantastic and Barbara's doing amazing. And Nick's in it too. Nick Rutherford's in it. I don't know if we, I think we'd not set. I don't know. Well, we did now.

Nick Rutherford from times. Nick's great. Among other things. Rutherford's in it. I don't know if we, I think we know it's that. I don't know. Well, we did now. So, Nick Rutherford from times. Nick's great. Among other things. Yeah. Nick's really great. And so it's just like, it's just a super solid cast. They're, they're really good. Yeah, and it's, it's funny because we had about

four or five different horror projects that we were talking about. Yeah. You know, that we hadn't done a horror movie of any kind and we wanted to do that. And then just we discovered the story and blood fest that we really liked. So I think people probably know that George Romero, for you, was a big inspiration.

Oh, huge inspiration. And Sam, I don't know, Sam Raimi for me was a huge inspiration. And I don't really consider either one of us, like horror guys, per se. But I but I think like when I think of like one filmmaker that super inspired me, like Sam Raimi is at like in my top three, for sure. Sam Raimi specifically from for me, yeah, yeah, we can also

do Spider-Man. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Confusing in this conversation. Yeah. But like evil that too was like one of the first movies I saw where I was like, what is this? Are you allowed to make a confusing in this conversation. Yeah, but like, Evil Dead 2 was like one of the first movies I saw where I was like, what is this?

Are you allowed to make a movie this way? Yeah. I want to make weird stuff like this. That's crazy. No, I agree. I remember my brother renting Evil Dead. The first evil that is actually super scary. Yeah, super scary.

And it's a little more straightforward than more definitely more straightforward. Yeah. Evil Dead 2 is like a LSD fever dream. I don't know how you would describe that movie. Do you are there other like, like, I could probably nail like my top four filmmakers that I was like, that's amazing.

I've never seen anybody do that. Yeah. Or heard of somebody doing it in that way. And I want to do it. Do you are there others like for you? Like who comes to mind? I mean, I would say Spielberg, but you could definitely make the argument that

the jaws is a horror movie. Oh, for sure. I mean, it's a weird classification. I don't know if you said we'd fall into drama. Right. But it's definitely especially the way they ended up having to shoot jaws because of the failure of the robotic shark. They had to shoot it like in his own words.

It made him more like Alfred Hitchcock than Roger Korman. Wasn't that what he said about it? Yeah, yeah. Because he couldn't show the shark for the first three quarters of the movie. He just had to imply the shark. He was there. And it was super fucking scary.

So yes, Peeleberg was a huge influence on me. Yeah. Also, you know, George Lucas, he had those prequels. Those were a horror. Those were fucking terrible. Sure, yeah. No, but I say Spielberg. Um, you know, and it's like, I don't consider myself

a super violent filmmaker either. I don't like turn that way, but like Tarantino, I just like, and remember in college, how nuts I was for Tarantino. Oh, absolutely. I just thought it was amazing. I, I, I, you get to meet in that time at that, that screening. Do that. I think back on that now, that it was a pulp fiction.

It was the first place. So our the TV station we're talking about with the bats was in the basement of an auditorium like it was a theater but old school like art deco theater called hog auditorium on the UT campus University of Texas. And we would sometimes go up and watch movies

behind the screen. They were flipped right. We watch them watch them backwards. Yeah. Yeah. We'd have to watch them, you know, basically like left to right flip. So like every John Wu, like, movie that way. And yeah, it's great. And everything.

But for whatever reason, after Pulp Fiction won the Cannes Film Festival, the first place it showed in the US was at HALGO TORIUM. They came out for a special screening. I think Link Glitter put it together. Oh, that's amazing. And I love Res of War dogs. So I thought, I'll go see this guy's movie or whatever. So I was in the screening and like Tarantino was there

and I'm pretty sure, man, maybe Robert Rodriguez was there and everything, and it was like, then just were getting up and talking about it to the crowd afterwards. It was fucking incredible, it was amazing. So it was, and I think, I remember going into Pulp Fiction and I'm thinking, I don't know if it'd come out yet, but I remember talking to my girlfriend at the time,

and telling her, it's like, you know, this is the guy that wrote natural born killers, which, who the fuck cares about natural born killers? Right, right. You know what I mean? It's like reservoir dogs and Pulp Fictions are American classics. Absolutely, yeah. Other girlfriends, are you playing?

Sorry, I'll tell your dad about it. I'm talking over. Get the Pearl Handle Pistol. Well, you may be able to feature an X-lepracy victim because it turns out it is curable now. That's really. Yeah, noted here, it says antibiotics using the treatment will kill any bacteria

that cause lepracy, but while treatment can cure the disease and prevent it from getting worse, it doesn't reverse nerve damage or physical dysfiguration that may have occurred before the diagnosis. Ooh. So you could have someone who's... And getting a cure, it'll get you kicked out of the citadel too. nerve damage or physical dysfiguration that may have occurred before the diagnosis. So you could have someone who is... And getting a cure, it'll get you kicked out of the citadel too. It seems like that's the disease where it's like the armadillo

is trying to turn you into another armadillo. That's how the problem gets. That's how they make armadillo. Right, that's how they make them. Like, that's the reproductive mechanism. This is eventually just... Yeah, and then you're walking along with your bug shell. Yeah.

When you were talking about Vic moving into, I think what happened was, at that point in time, I was living the apartment alone, but that was also when I first started dating Jordan was during that time. Oh, yeah. And I was gonna make the comment when you were talking about it, but you know how that is when you first dating someone,

you become inseparable, but you've been dating Anna, like I've never. Well, you become inseparable. Yeah, clearly YouTube become inseparable. How long've been dating Anna, like I've never... Well, you become inseparable. Yeah, clearly YouTube become inseparable. How long have you guys been together now? Oh gosh, I want to move. I should answer this quick. I'm not a quiz.

I know, so she didn't think I don't know. We can cut this. Since high school. Yeah, since high school. Right school, sweet hearts. Yeah. Yeah, that's just, and we know several people like that. Like Alan Richden from Laser Tune. Oh, that's right. Yeah, it's like, same thing. And Robertson, that's right, and we know several people like that. Like Alan Richston from Laser Team.

Oh, that's right. Yeah, it's why it's named Robertton. Yeah, that's right. Them too, yeah. It's just like, it's crazy. Yeah. It's crazy. And I can remember like hearing about Anna,

yeah, you know, it's just like, oh, my buddy's high school girlfriend that goes to different college. I was like, that's not gonna last. You know, you know, typically, but it's crazy how that stuff works over time. Like, do you remember the first time you heard about Ashley? Do you remember like, how did you guys mean?

Gosh, I want to say. I'm recording this. I don't get them trying to remember us Seattle, something in Seattle. Yeah, we went on a trip to Seattle. Seattle and do we, does there a place that we eat? Like, what's the hamburger place? Oh, burger burger. place that we eat, like, what's the hamburger place? Oh, burger. Burger.

Is that lunch box, Labyrinth? Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. No, is it lunch box, Labyrinth? Yeah. Burger Master. No, no, not our place. Oh, yeah, sorry, no, our place is special. Yeah, it is special.

Oh, I would never confuse that. No, they, I think people there who are as hot as me. The lunch box, the Labyrinth, the place where they have the burger that confuses you, right? Yeah, they're all weird,, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they,, you know, here, maybe not, maybe just in Seattle, but yeah, I feel like that was one of the first time you brought up, actually. I think there's like our, like our third date was in Seattle weird. I mean, depending on how you count it might have been our second

when we went up for the Halo premiere. That is correct. That is correct. That's what we did. Did you know Matt before that? Cause she knew, she knew Gus and Jeff before we started dating. Yeah, I don't think I knew that.

Yeah, I think I knew Gus. I knew he'd like a pack or something. Yeah, like I think I'm at Gus like first packs. That's why I thought I knew Bernie. Yeah, at packs. She'll show you when I was with me in Australia because she thought she knew me already. I was there.

I was probably just already blackout drunk. And that's why we didn't meet. Yeah, you know what bugs me? Can I was there. I was probably just already blackout drunk. And that's why we didn't meet. You know what bugs me? Can I say something lowing you this long? I don't like that you're so much more, I don't like first of all that you're good at music, which by the way, I've matches here, we're gonna test something.

Oh God, come on. I don't like that you're so much better at music. I mean, I'm zero and how many instruments can you play? Half of one. No, come on, you know the number. I don't like it. I don't know. I mean, it's like, it's more than 10, right? Yeah, they're not good. Not well. You know, why can't play them at all? Like, if I took one out of it, it's like, it's a hot cross buns and out of tune. Everything. So,

I don't like that. I also don't like the fact that out of the two of us, you're the fun drunk. Like people, what? When I get drunk, people like, oh, shit, when you get drunk, people get all excited. But you, you know, you're hardly ever get drunk. I get more practice at it. She, yeah, you're, but you're just more memorable. I'm just a jerk. So Matt did this thing, Matt used to be able to do this thing. I can't do it anymore.

What is your primary instrument that you played for the longest of my time? My son was just calling me. One of his watching. Not a fanfare. I'm watching. Is that haunting you, the fanfare? Oh, God, every day.

It's actually fun, right? I played saxophone a lot in high school, yeah. So wind instruments, primarily. I played a lot of wind instruments, yeah. So Matt had the sound that we discovered in college that Matt can blow out a match from an extraordinarily long distance. Like, they'll do a test where you can blow it out

at basically arm's length. Right. And some people can do it. Mac could do it from, I mean, we got to pull like from a truck across the room. 20, 25 feet away and you could blow a match out. Right. You want to try this?

I'll try it. Okay. Okay. I'm set. You're setting up a failure. There's no, I might, it might just be like, I don't think there's any way I can do it. It's been a while since I tried. Can I do it over here? Yeah. Is that a good distance? Yeah, I don't think there's any way I can do it. It's been a while since I tried it.

Can I do it over here? Yeah, is that a good distance? Yeah, I guess so. All right, we're gonna try this. And then we gotta wrap this up. All right, here, match is lit. Okay, I'm gonna hold it up. It's more about like the precision than the actual win, they think.

Like a brief from the diaphragm. I can't imagine that. I did it. I did it. You got crafting your old age, Matt. I did it. I did it. You got crafty in your old age, Matt. All right, you ready? Okay. All right, I'm gonna hurt myself.

I'm gonna self a smoke alarm here. Close. Go again. He's lost it. See how I did it, it was right there. No problem. But you used to be able to do it. You got to work on it, dude. You got to work on it. You don't work problem, but you used to be able to do it twenty five foot you got it got a work on it

Dude, yeah, work on it. You don't work on the skills. They actually that was like oh man, but that was like ten feet away Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of ish in that So we I think we've talked about that before we had people send us a bunch of clips in them doing it from as far away as they could Yeah, I'm curious like if anyone has any video. It's really about it's about the aim More so I think then, then. So you're aiming it off? My aim's off. If, I think if you're good at flute,

probably you're better at it than other wind. Why? Well, just because it, like, being able to direct a stream of air. Like a hair, into the thing. Yeah, what's that thing called? The fluff, fluff, fluff. The thing, it's like, no, there's no read that goes in

there. It's just like a hole, right? Like the mouthpiece, the mouthpiece, the ligature, the ombasher, ombasher is what you hold your mouth. I'd be the kid with the fucking triangle in the band. That's what you, what's that? There's no read in a flute. Yeah. No, no, he said, when we're good on that, he got mad at me one time because I took a saxophone when I, when he was, when I were drunk and I played it and I broke the read and you were legitimately mad at me. And I learned that read for like 12 bucks. They weren't even that mad.

I think that they're, you can get a lot of cheap reads. I think I just had an expensive read at the time. Oh, did you? Yeah. And college, I guess 12 bucks is a lot. Oh, it is. When you're like, that's 12 bucks. You'll be 12 bucks. It's like, where am I gonna get 12 bucks?

Yeah. It's like, it's generally, was thinking about like, kind of budget for the next month and where I was gonna get the 12 bucks. You'll need to put the fucking read. I think our apartment was like, I'm gonna say it was like $325 a month.

Yeah. You know, that was, yeah, it was ridiculous. That was total. Like, we each paid like 175 bucks. And the rats paid like, fuck. There was a rat every time I left the front door. There's no rats anywhere in Austin. Yeah, I saw a rat every day. We had rats in our house. Do you? Yeah. We had, yeah, I guess we had some rat-ish problems. The old place was, because we were by the river. Do you know, close to the river you got problems? If you live in Austin, the place I've seen the most rats at one time is so gross.

Is the intersection of Old Torf and 35 at that light right there when you're going north and you exit and you get off right there. Look over at the hill. That goes down to the highway on Some nights you will see, like, switching to the summer, you will see the ground moving and it's just like, it's all rats. What? Yeah. You forgot about rats too.

I don't like rats, I don't like rats at all. You're using photography. I used to do photography, I do remember that. It was like, you saw a rat and he used to freak you out. Well, it was not that, it was that, it was running across the highway. Yeah. It's like, why are you here?

So it's set up for you. At that point, if a rat is, like a rat should be looking for food and water all the time, or other rats to fuck. And so if you are have time to run across the highway where there's nothing for you, you have too much rat time on your hands. You need to be engaged in the rat activities

that will keep you alive. And if you have enough time to just a fuck around, going, you know what, I'm just gonna play for a auger with a couple of cars. And you have a rat problem in your town, like that's too many rats. So I don't have time to send this to you guys in the booth, but I just wanted to say that I
