Or just say what that go to Rushatete.com They wrote that into an ad read on the spot this last week and it really bothered me because I run Burgundy and I'll read whatever they put on there. And it was said, www. And I really didn't like that. It felt really dumb to say that. You know the progress of that address bar in a browser

has made a lot of progress. It has, the progress has made a lot of progress. I'm just doubling up our words today. All my words so much I want to use them twice. Only there's a progress bar, it's very tired. Yeah. No, it used to be, you had to put the HTTP colon slash slash. And I remember there came a point time

when I was constantly telling people, you don't have to put, all right, no, man. And then now you don't have to put the WWW. And now you have to put the name of the address, just type whatever you want. And just like show down. I don't even put .com anymore. It's just you type in what you're trying to look for. And at, you know, the name of the address, just type whatever you want. And just like show down. I don't even put .com anymore. It's just you type in what you're trying to look for.

And at, you know, the worst thing it does, it takes you to Google. And then I'm so lazy that, you know, I normally visit just the same websites over and over. And I'll just type like the first two letters of it. And if it, autocompletes, I just hit enter. If it doesn't autocomplete, I hit enter anyway. It was just like, I'm just in Google like, fuck, well, that's trust engine. I didn't get there. It's enough.

By the way, I'm John. I'm Chris. And I'm Gus. And I'm Bernie. And like fuck well trust and dad didn't get there good enough. Yeah, by the way. I'm John I'm Chris and I'm Gus and I'm Bernie and Bernie. Oh Damn, I got beaten to it doubling. I get to double today. You're doubling. You're the double man today. So hashtag hashtag Bernie com HTTP hashtag dot com because it's the word hashtag far the hashtag No, it's hashtag our tea podcast podcast we got this debate the other day so when you read something on Twitter and you say I was like how would you write in a tweet and tag me that you went to my house for a game of

Thursday night I'm asking you John writes like if I was gonna say I was at Bernie's house right how would you write that on Twitter? The at symbol doesn't count. I put AT. Nope. I was still saying that. It's a big, to be clear. There's two ways you could write that on Twitter. You could write I was at Bernie's house for dinner. Like the symbol at, as part of my tag name.

Or you try, I was Bernie's house. Symbol Bernie's house. I was Bernie's house. I was Bernie's house. Reads I was Bernie's house. I was Bernie's house. That's the house. I was Bernie's house. What about you Chris? I agree.

You need to act. You need to act. That's the thing. So what do you do? I was Bernie's house. You would write that? Yeah, sure. You're a lunatic.

I am. So when we tweeted all the time, does it always sound like, when I say I went to dinner with you, it's like I went to dinner with at Sarola. like I went to dinner with At-Sarola. Yeah, that's how you read. I see. And then the other context, you wouldn't say the at.

Right. With At-Sarola. Here I am with At-Sarola. And in my mind, like seeing that, that just equates to the person, in that context. So in that context, but your mind will fix it when they, when you'd say I was at Sarola's house. Yeah, the mind's a powerful thing Totally does plus let's help I'm never making that tweet that I went to dinner with

That's seemed weird to begin with one that it happened the two you'd be tweeting about it Can you please Bernie please the next time you go to deal with guys, please tweet that. Okay, let's say Gus, you and I went to a meal of some kind. Probably not dinner. Lunch is more likely. Okay, we went to lunch. Where'd we go? What about breakfast? We got lunch.

If I said at the end of the lunch, hold on a second, Gus here. Let's take a selfie. I need to tweet this or post it on Instagram. What would you do? Would that be the last time you speak to me? No, I'd post it on a fucking picture. You would? Yeah, it was good. If I busted out and I said,

we're gonna take a selfie at lunch, you and me. Yep, let's do it. I'm down. I can't imagine that. That's coming to take a selfie. Let's take a selfie. I'm gonna take a selfie. Literally.

All right, I wanted to be in the selfie. I didn't know when to ask me. I wanted to be in the selfie. You want to take a selfie? It was my story. Take a selfie? Fuck off, John. Oh, we got a cool guy up in the camera off.

I did the thing I never do. I never flip off a camera. And I did it there to be funny. I did it to be funny, but I hate when people do that in photos. Right. So rebellious. It's just like so. I don't know something.

On the topic of... It's my hard. Being in a group of people and saying, you guys want to take a selfie. I went... Hashtag, Hashtag, Selfie? Hashtag, Hashtag, a selfie. I went hashtag hashtag selfie hashtag hashtag selfie. I went bouldering with a bunch of people on Saturday. Okay, bouldering. That sounds like a really good idea.

Every Saturday night, I knew it was gonna have second thoughts. It is dirty, guys. You make it as dirty as you want, man. I'm bouldering that dude so hard. I went bouldering with some dudes I met on Facebook. As you do. As you do. I went bouldering the Vincaners.

We were, we were boldering on East Forest Street. All right, go ahead. And we all got down. We were gonna, a bunch of us were gonna go get some food slash a drink afterwards. And I was with Max, Max Crunkey, Patrick Matthews, and Ellie Mann all from live action. And I said, hey, do you guys wanna take a selfie?

I've never been a group of people that have been more excited about that prospect. They were just like, yes. And just immediately all got in squad formation ready for a selfie. Really? Yeah, people are up for that now. Yeah, I was reading a, like normally I feel

like almost ashamed to ask that. What's that? I almost feel ashamed, like, hey, you guys wanna take a selfie? Like, you wonder if people are gonna scoff. No, no, you do? Yeah, I feel like almost ashamed to ask that. What's that? I almost feel ashamed, like, hey, you guys wanna take a selfie? Like, you wonder if people are gonna scoff. No, no, no. You do? Yeah, I wonder. But you're like, you're way under that line, age-wise,

where it's like, selfies like the default photo. I think there's something to that argument. There's something we said a lot, like, having a genuine moment without posting it on social media. Yeah, I don't know. You're still posting anything I do in a personal basis in social media. You know?

I typically don't. No, you're pretty pretty. I don't do a lot of personal stuff. Bernie doesn't. You know, do you know why I don't do it though? I do it because of the the FOMO thing. Like I've dealt with that too much. Yeah, where people just feel,

I don't think people feel good when they see you doing something that you're doing your personal life. I think they just feel like, oh, I was just doing that. You know what I mean? I just like, I don't, I think I'm a weirdo. Like I'm, I know I'm a weirdo, but I'm a clear exception to that

because I see people gather, people let a party or people going out, and I'm like, oh, good for them. I'm glad I'm at home. I have no desire ever to be out there. No, I feel the same with you, but again, I get feedback from a lot of times. You'll see it sometimes with some of the people that are at our company, somebody will post

throughout with a group, and then somebody who's not in the group is groups just like oh, hey great photo The blame told that story last week No, Barb also does it they get that that flat. What's the flat smile emoji? Yeah, that? Like that. I'm pretty good. Does the flat smile emoji also pulls chin in you get like double-channel does it? This is my this is my one. That's a good one because the car is my double-channel That's my favorite one. I have it what's it called when you have FOMO Climidia Bernie come on why I

Sorry, I mean what's it when you have FOMO but then also once you also don't actually want to go do things don't actually want to go do things. It goes like, go see. That's crazy. I mean, I can imagine that's a lot of people actually. Like, by the way, I have a fear of losing option of turning everyone down. Yes. What is, I want to, who did somebody else said that?

Somebody else said that to me. They want the option. They want to be asked so they can say no. And I was like, what did that say? No, I don't get asked to say no. But often, I have a fear of missing out for like going to like events, stuff like that. But then often when I go to events,

I only want to be there for a little bit and then I just want to go home. I just be clear what we're talking about. Your FOMO means fear of missing out. I just put that together. Okay, so all right, we should have explained that. No, no, I was about to ask, what does FOMO mean? But then it's like when he said fear of missing out,

I'm like, yeah, okay. It's just basically whenever you see stuff on social. Once I said the actual succession of words. Yeah. Have you ever heard of really the doubt? I have heard of it before. You might have also seen it written out, and not said out loud.

Maybe you thought it was like FOMO. FOMO. FOMO. FOMO. But the, I don't know what other, there's, it's a good word that they came up with something that really didn't exist before. I guess jealousy is like the closing, but it's not quite jealousy. Because it's almost like to be said,

it's about people don't want that thing, they just don't want to be left out of that thing. It's like the inside joke. It's like the inside joke. You don't want to be outside of the inside joke. And inside jokes happen at things and events and when people have conversations and stuff like that. So, you know, whenever I was like,

oh yeah, remember that time we all went to Vegas? Like, no, I wasn't there. So are people like memes, right? They want to be in on like an inside joke without actually going and doing something. That's like, memes are like madlib humor. That's a great way of describing memes. It's the inside joke without having to go anywhere.

Right, without having necessarily no people ending like social. We all laugh about this. Yeah, but you have to be on Reddit or something like that. Yeah, but you don't have to post. Like you don't have to be social. You can just absorb it. Yeah, I want to talk to you about something, guys, that maybe we were talking about this with the, it reminded me of this when we were talking about the selfie being the default photo is I was reading an article about something and then I actually switched to watching a

video about it because I wanted to see it in the background. It was about a guy who got a Michelin star for a food stand that he has. He's like the only person in the world who has a street cart that has a Michelin star. Interesting. So I was reading this story about him, and I'm gonna get it wrong,

but it's something like the something rice and chicken sauce stand. And he got it, he he got it invited out to the event and everything like that and it was I was watching the video and it was really cool to watch this guy like walking in this huge gala I don't know why Michelin hands out stars I think we've talked about this before now the company that makes tires that got involved it's the same company I just thought it was like a coincidence that there's a guy right for road trips oh and then it became this ultra prestigious thing which mascot happens to be a big dude made a time I don't really get it but people flip when

they get a Michelin star and this guy who runs did you are you looking him up yeah I just like yeah and anyway he was walking to the gala this huge moment and I was watching oh I feel so good for this guy's walking in and like in front of the the welcome to the Michelin Goha event there's a girl like standing there taking a selfie and not taking one taking like 80 selfies and like doing the whole Posing and stuff and I was just like You're just you're absolutely fucking killing it for me there. I don't know why, I just focused on her, nothing else. And I just couldn't fucking take it anymore. There's our worry story about this guy

on running a street card, he gets a fucking Michelin star and all I can think about is a girl taking the billion selfies. So that reminded me of that. It's a low res photo, but you can see here that like their promotional images, it's like the Michelin Tyrede holding the book. Is that the one that had the restaurants with the Michelin stars in it?

Yeah. You know, the mascot kind of looks like someone who knows good food. So dumb. You know, and you know, those people go to work every day. The people who are like, well, we're going to be reviewing this five-star restaurant downtown Paris also.

And like meanwhile, the guys who are like, we discovered new kind of rubber. the hall like you know those guys like can we get a different office? What do we have like part ways here? We have to at some point right? I like your reduction of what happened at the Michelin like off this where they're like discovering new kinds of rubber and selling the bunch of fried boys like hey we discovered it like we did Didn't they release that proof of concept for the spherical tire?

Yes, Michelin and it's like I don't know if you know that tire is Separate from the car. It looks like a mesh like a nano-bottie that like moves along with the car. Yeah, it's really yeah weird It doesn't look like a driving system. It looks like a particle. I think someone tried to explain it to us And they may have properly explained it last time on Twitter But I can't remember there it is. That's the that's a tire. Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. That's the spherical tires Goodie or that is spherical tire. That's good for not to be confused not to confuse the Michelin good year only rates strip joy That's the only thing that they give stars to you, but I would think like they got to like at some point They just got to pull away, you know and be well. We're not exactly related, you know, they would just say we get a different mask

I think I did the Michelin dude is a made tires, but he's just a big fat dude who ate a bunch of really nice restaurants That's what I'm saying. It looks like someone who likes to eat. He always comes in and turns me like the guy from Ghostbusters. The big restaurant. The big restaurant. Yeah. Yeah, I heard it.

I totally see that. Everybody seen the new Ghostbusters? No. I have not. No. You have not? No. Nobody's seen it.

It seems like the kind of movie I'll watch, like on a plane. You're sexist. You ever think about that? I do have something to say about it. Let me read this. Yeah, I do. I'll get to that. No, don't read it. When I'm mind everyone, this episode received podcast is brought to you by Betterment.

You set a goal and then they help guide you to get to that goal.

So it's really an interesting service to check it out. Switching gears back to Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. I mean, I'm glad they made another one, but I feel like I'm gonna watch that movie on a plane. Okay. It really takes a lot. There's definitely a movie, jungle books that movie.

I'm waiting for that to go on a plane. It takes a lot to drag me out of my house to go watch a movie the last time I watched what was started. Didn't see you do Star Trek? No, I still haven't seen Star Trek. I still haven't seen Civil War. I didn't like it.

I'm not. I'm not. Yeah, I'm singing it. You didn't like Star Trek. I didn't like Star Trek. I felt like just another episode in a whole season of Star Trek as opposed to a movie that took years to make. Star Trek.

I can't tell anyone else that that beyond. Because I couldn't have been due to this. I'm an earlier conversation. This is not spoiler or anything like that. But tell me, did the characters, how they were at the very beginning of the movie, and where they were in life, beyond. Because I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this.

I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this.

I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this.

I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. I'm going to be due to this. spock i would say yes other than other than did them dealing with nemo is death right uh... that and a almost to our for a to our film did they change at all well no but it means like it is based on episodic television how much did they i guess they changed that's the same one in the in the in the series in the in the tv show they have to change very much in the single episode but you expect movies that take years to come out

and you wait for them and the and the movie itself is a two hour big old cinematic event. Yeah. If nothing happened, it was pointless. Especially when you're talking about in terms of like even in Star Wars or something, right? Every movie, they grow, their relationships change, they have a new path. Yeah. And then I, not having seen the movie, I can't add anything else to that.

The thing happens to the problem, and this won't be too much of a the movie I can't add anything else to that The thing I'm gonna the problem and this won't be too much of a spoiler I don't think but the problem that I've got with the reboot of the Star Trek movies is And I'm gonna talk a little bit for a second about in very general terms the plot of the new Star Trek movie by talking about the other ones The problem guy was like all three movies now, basically have the same device for conflict, which is there's a dude who shouldn't have better technology than the rest of the federation of planets, which is like the biggest agency in the galaxy. They have amazing things that even in this movie,

they specifically show something they have, that's incredible. And yet another dude shows up who's basically marooned on a planet by himself and he has this amazing technology that puts the enterprise on the ropes and they're all gonna die and how are they gonna beat this guy? It destroys their ship in the first.

This is 20 minutes of the time. And the original series wasn't like that. Khan was very much like that, but all the rest of them weren't necessarily like that. There was stuff like voyage home, there was stuff like undiscovered country. This is just like an animated adventure where you talk about Star Trek is a guy on a planet

who develops his revenge with technology that he develops on the giant. The joke I made, it's actually showed it before the movie. So, he somehow develops interstellar travel. This, the new reboot series is like, I mean, Nero in the first movie had that mining ship that was from the future so it was way better than anything else and can destroy planets and Spock had that fucking really good whatever the fuck that thing was and in the second movie was basically the con story again

and then the third movie it's it's pretty similar you see the enterprise get ripped apart in the trailers yeah you know so it's just like it's like where do you get this shit you know they it's like they can only stumble across so many unbelievably powerful people you know that they's just like what's it where do you get the shit you know they get it's like they can only stumble across so many unbelievably powerful people you know that they have a connection with the universe now it was that this movie was was as you know as far as the series goes pointless like they could have skipped it i actually like to move a lot

i can move just five action and and to be fair i think i might want to be a lot of ever talk to since the movie came out that didn't like it i got i will say this. It's the only movie I've seen in that series in the reboot series where when some of the action takes place, I literally have no idea what's going on. Like someone else said that there was a whole scene where it's like there are people fighting each other and then they end up in a certain place and then a thing happens and it's like. What we're who how to where's everybody? It's like, they're moving left, they're moving right, cameras flying all over the place and it's like really,

it's like why even film the action scene, just like pointed a wall and just hear, like, poop, poop and the furious guy directing it, one of the directors of Fast Fures. And it was also had a motorcycle in the trailer and I'm like fuck, that motorcycle in the Star Trek universe. How does that make any sense? It makes perfect sense. Yeah, they have the classic car in the first Star Trek film. The JJ Abrams.

They also had a motorcycle in that scene and the motorcycle was didn't have wheels. That's one of the things that bothered me about that the reveal for the fact that they were in the future was showing the motorcycle in the original Star Trek trailer. The original reboot trailer. The JJ A.B. was one. Yeah, but I'm really hoping for the next Star Trek to be like an undiscovered country, like Star Trek V.

That was a great Star Trek movie. And it played on like, there was something cool. Yeah, I would go on Empire fell apart. Yeah, I would love it if they did something where they actually dealt with like, there's been some Star Trek movie. And it played on like, it was in the cool, the cool, the Empire fell apart. Yeah, I would love it if they did something where they actually dealt with like, there's been some Star Trek films and also a big theme that was in the series, which was dealing with like, new races.

And they really haven't like, I mean, they touched on the Klingons a little bit in the last one, but barely. And so I love if they like discovered a new race in that, that surface, you know, some sort of, you know, some sort of You know dilemma or or diplomatic problem or some sort of like I don't know I just I prefer they did that. I love watching diplomatic problems in movies just like a fan of menace. It's so good All the all the jeans and outs of the diplomacy. Oh

Big part of star check was social commentary like they tackled diversity before anybody else would. And it was always like going back to the undiscovered country, which is the one I talked about from the original series of movies. You know, that was based on the like the basically the clingons were the Russians and the Soviets and the fall that empire and dealing with your enemy who is now humbled, you know, but they're still dangerous. And it was really, it was cool. And I think there's a lot of things they could draw from today. They just keep going back to the same thing of a guy that you didn't know has a bad ship that'll destroy you. Also one of the dumbest openings,

I think to the Star Trek films. If that opening like action sequence, that was really dumb. Yeah, I do listen Simon Pegg wrote this one. Love him. And I love Simon Pegg. When I saw that scene, I was like, what are you doing, Simon Pegg?

What's up with it? He was on the water under his, but I was like, this feels like goofy Simon Pegg. I don't know how I feel about this opening. Yeah, so that actually that was also the way I described the films of film felt like it was written by a fan. It felt like a fan film as opposed to someone coming in from like a different angle or from a fresh perspective. It felt like a fan wrote not a bad thing in this day and age though. So the first one was written by fans of the pseudo-division series. Okay, well this one felt like it. Yeah, I got you, okay. And I mean, if someone had been holding on to

this really cool episode of Star Check, like what if this happened in an episode and they turned that into a film, you know? So it just felt like one long episode, as opposed to an actual movie. But the segue to something else that you and I did just recently, that's kind of where we are now with big, long-running franchises.

Like Blaine and I went out to Lucasfilm and we sat down on the Star Wars podcast. Everyone in there was somebody who grew up with Star Wars. It is now working on Star Wars. And when dealing with Final Fantasy VII we make that something Squares said for a long time that they didn't want to make Final Fantasy VII again because they were all fans of it.

Right. And they felt like it affected, they were too affected by the project. I think a product, because this comes from someone who was a fan of Rupert, and then now makes stuff for Rupert, I think something you should try to do, even if you are someone who's coming from that background,

is that makes stuff for the fans, not like you are one of the fans, or like don't make it seem like it was made by a fan, it seemed like it was made for the fans. Like I don't mind a Star Trek movie that was made for a Star Trek fan like me, I grew up watching the show, but don't make it seem like it was just a really cool idea

that some kid had. What does that mean though? That's like really broad. You're like, make something for the fans, but not like made by the fans. Well, I think it's just like, it's the general feel of it. It just felt like a really cool like episode idea

as opposed to, I don't know, I felt like the first Star Trek, the reboot film, felt like a fresh perspective at the Star Trek franchise, and was written by a fan. I mean, JJ Abrams is a self-professed Star Trek fan, but I didn't feel like it was just written by a fan. The premise of Star Trek Beyond has a lot more potential than when I think it delivered, but it was still very fun.

Like the potential of where they go, you know, I don't know if they want to give anything away. So, let's stop talking about that. But Gus and I got to do something which we're gonna be talking about later this week, talking about a long-running franchise is Gus and I went up to San Francisco, just north of San Francisco, to Nevada, was I said?

Like a great rice ronin in San Francisco. It's amazing. It's amazing, it's the best. And we went to... We were too proud of that joke. We went too proud of that joke. You should not be smiling that much. It took me a second.

I was like, what? Oh, OK. But we got to go up and take a look at Civilization 6 in its current state of development and take a look at it. And that is, of course, that's a franchise that's been around since 1990. Drew? Three?

Somewhere in there? Yeah, maybe earlier. Let me look. Yeah. So that's a franchise that's been running now for a very long period of time in 20 years. So there's people that work on that franchise who grew up playing that game.

And it's the same kind of thing. So we'll talk more about it this week on the patch. I will definitely try to drop in and discuss that with you. We might even have some stuff to show from it as well. Civilization is one of those franchises that even though I've been a gamer, my whole life been playing excessive amount of games, that kind of thing, there can be entire franchises that you just never touched on it's true and civilization

your solids that for me I've got several like I've never played a mass effect civilization 91 is anyone is Gandhi still evil he's not evil he's just AI driven so he does stuff that like he counter to what he would do in the real world yeah Yeah, we're gonna drop New York's time to win. Well, no, no, because I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, that's what you do to him. I've never played civilization, but I, I know that it's like in the original one, Gandhi was supposed to be the most peaceful person ever.

He had the highest peace level, whatever that meant. And then, but through the game, if you, you could do stuff to increase everyone's peace score, and because he had the highest one, his peace score reset and went back to the bottom so he became the most war hungry like character in the game. I want to make a I want to play a video game developed by Chris. I know. Wait wait. So you've never played a Siv game? No. So so far the theme of this podcast is Chris talking about things that he has seen or played. We're gonna start talking about something I've done.

I don't know, I mean, what have you done, Chris? It was talking about what's in mind. It was interesting because when we landed in the San Francisco airport, there was a car. There was a car service to take us up to where we were going. And we were in the car and Bernie and I were using our phones, we're, you know, I guess casually talking about Pokemon Go and the driver overheard us. He's like, oh, we all playing Pokemon Go. We're like, yeah, then he's like, y'all in a hurry to get where you're going. Or, you know, I'm going to drive you around to

be like, I know, I know a couple spots. And he like took us on like a mini tour around San Francisco to like, he's like, I know popular Pokemon Go spots. And this is a cab? No, it was like a, a hired car. Oh, okay. I I was gonna say it was the cab that be a really smart way of like getting like more to your fair. It's like hey you want to make some mentors. And so people are correct me. Final frontier was Star Trek 5. That one was where they go to find God. You don't want that one. Star Trek 6 was the undiscovered country. So thank you. Sorry. That's true. I was wondering how the odd it's like usually the odd numbered movies were the

lousy ones in the first Star Trek series. I was wondering how the odd, it's usually the odd numbered movies where the lousy one is in the first Star Trek series. I was wondering, I like, did the undiscovered country break that? So I was just mistaken. So thank you for correcting me. So he took us by one spot that was down by the water and he's like, oh, there's like three Pokestops here. And there was a crowd, I'm not kidding, of probably like 80 to 100 people all out there

on their phones playing. And we got out and we walked around for a little bit and there were these two joggers who were running by and one of them turns to the other and goes, what's going on here? Are all these people playing Pokemon? No, they're gonna see, yep. Actually, do you remember what she actually said?

No, what did she say? She goes, she goes, what's happening? Is Pokemon happening? Is this Pokemon happening right here? But she couldn't even like put into words. Because she's so outside of like video games. This Pokemon happening. Is that place, is this Pokemon happening right here. She couldn't even like put into words because she's so outside of like video games. This Pokemon happening. Is that place, is this Pokemon happening?

And it's, and it, nobody looked up in the phones and the guy was just laughing because he helped. And they just kept jogging. But it was amazing to see that many people out there and everyone's just kind of wondering. Well, if you go out to, like, especially on the weekend, if you go out to Zilker, or if you go to Capitol, guess who's got a Charizard?

Me, Charmanders, all over, Lousy. Not Zilker. Auditorium Shores. I went to Auditorium Shores on Sunday and did a tour of all the stops and got a bunch of Charmander's that kind of thing. So good. Yeah, it's really good.

How do you guys feel about the fact that they, bullshit? They unscathed Pokemon Go. They took away the feet, the footprints, because they weren weren't working so the solution was I would just take him away We won't fix them. We'll just remove them and then they also shut down all of the apps that track Pokemon for you I'm fine with that. I never use those stories. I never use that Teddy was okay with that too Teddy's there's a great parody account called niantic lab at niantic lab on Twitter and the actual Twitter account for the people Made his niantic labs and so it's very hard to tell but they are like they're a parody one and they put up like a picture today of the

Egg hatching screen and they said along this update we took away showing you how many steps you've done for your eggs Fuck you And I was like a parody is like yep, that's basically what the the footprint going away guys I bet that would make you feel so furious They should not reveal at all that that is a fake account. Like they should put every tweet should be very straight forward. No fuck yous or anything like that. So it's like, oh, we removed this because we didn't think it was important.

I think another one was, yes, we've noticed the bug about all the gyms looking yellow. We're trying to fix it. You know, Pokemon Go. Yeah, I do. I do. I do. That was a genuine laugh. You knew what the joke was? I do. What did you do? I do. That was a genuine laugh. You knew what the joke was. I did.

Are you playing Pokemon Go? I am. What level are you? I don't want to say. What level are you? Like 14-ish. No, it's good. I feel like it's embarrassing.

No, I'm embarrassing. I do feel like that's embarrassing. What are you? 18. I'm level 20. You will get to level 20 before I get to 21. It's just like some guy. Yeah, the scale-up of like how many M-1s? I do feel like that's embarrassing. What are you? 18. Okay. I'm level 20. You will get to level 20 before I get to 21. It's just like, so I'm guy.

Yeah, the scale up of how much XB you got is insane. The thing is, I could probably power level really fast. I've had a ton of candies and stuff. I'm just kind of waiting. I'm using a drop of an egg and just like, go crazy. That's what I did. Well, I'm waiting for that moment when I've got like two hours to kill. Or I can really get everything in the line and just like,

I'm gonna do it 30 minutes at a time. Yeah. One lucky I get a time. Yeah, but I'm weird like where I like to like build things up in my headguess. Okay. Did you hear about the guy who specifically went out to hit the level cap on Pokemon Go where it currently exists? What's the level cap?

It is level 40. Yeah. And I can't find the stat here, but the reason Luca used a bot He you freely admits he used a bot to help him hunt Pokemon. Yeah, first of all, I want that bot Whatever that is The reason Luca used a bot and this is from game spot.com HTTP Hashtag the reason Luca used a bot is because if he did it on his own he'd need to gain

More than 50,000 x XP a day for a year straight. Whoa! To hit the level cap, which is just like, it's, I don't even know, 50,000 experience, I think at my level would take me up a level of day, basically. Like I understand a level of difficulty, or like longevity, you gotta build into games. That seems a bit excessive.

Yeah, some of the stuff I think they scale, and think they scale and then there's like ah nobody will get there yeah remember that what was the thing you remember like that initially that was like in the achievement system there was stuff that put in there like what do you fucking put this in there for I don't know like raw had be number one in the world that was right right and then it was uh what was the name of the achievements very famous with Gears Award and you had to kill get 10,000

multiplayer kills yeah it's like seriously it was seriously right yeah seriously that was I love the Batman games fucking hate the rid their trophy thing every single fucking game like find trophies hundreds of trophies and just go find them you got to

find them and then you also got to do a puzzle it's just do it. I hate it The only thing you really hate about achievements now in video games is that I like to get all of them and it always seems like You never know going into a game It's like okay, this game's great. You go on lock like five achievements in your first place actually Oh, it's great. I'm on my way I'm gonna get all a hundred percent and then as you get about a week into the game you then learn When you get to that point of,

look, how do I get this achievement? You look it up and you find out that achievement, that one achievement is gonna take about three and a half months of playing to get that. And it's like, oh, what the fuck? I spent all this time doing this and I'm never gonna get this last achievement because I'm not gonna dedicate my life to this video.

Yeah, I basically don't play any console games anymore. I'm all PC now. I got a great PC game. So I don't I don't do achievements in work as who cares about the steam things. But when I did do achievements I like you know I like getting you know the fictitious award but anytime there was multiplayer achievements like well I'm not gonna perfect this game because I think there should be multiplayer. I hate them. I hate them. I

think achievements are how you make single-player competitive. I think that's what's for, now granted, if you wanna make a multiplayer achievement that introduces people to the multiplayer system in a game that people don't typically play multiplayer, like Assassin's Creed, then make it something like get to level five. Or launch multiplayer.

Oh yeah, or play one custom map. Or like something that needs you ten times. So I got it. Something that all the multiplayer achievements can be done in basically one straight play session. Halo is about about it. What about a game that's like primarily multiplayer? Well, if it's primarily multiplayer, like Titanfall. Yeah. Oh, that's all there's no single player campaign.

Yeah. That I understand. Yeah. So you can do. But like, Halo's one or like like most FPS games, like Halo and cod. That could be what I actually played those games for the campaign. I don't really care for multiplayer. And so when things like when Halo, Halo came out with DLC that then had achievements with it, but then there were maps that you couldn't get to because there weren't in the rotation or sucks. And I'm like, well, okay, cool. Thank you for building in and making this like I never get the score. It's an NBA game that was played at the same

time that 10,000 other people are playing. It's like, that's not, I can't affect that. Yeah. That's your game being unpopular. I mean, it's, there's very few games now, very few games where a month or two after they come out, they have any kind of, you know, appreciable online population. There's just so many games out. It's just spread horizontally so much. It's gets nuts. And it falls off.

Like, I was huge. I played Overwatch constantly for the first several weeks it was out. I, I think I launched it once in the last two weeks. Like, just yesterday, I was like, oh, I'm going to try Overwatch. I haven't been in a while. I played like one round. I was like, all right, cool.

It's still fun, but there's so many games to be playing. I'm playing a lot of Dead by Daylight. Do you give you an idea of how much 50,000 XP in a day is? The most you get for XP in the game is 1,000 XP for hatching a 10k egg. Or if you have a lucky egg, you can get 1,000. I mean, you get for XP in the game is a thousand XP for hatching a 10K egg. Or if you have a lucky egg, you can get a thousand, I mean you get double. Yeah. Yeah, I think this is with eggs on. No, you can draw something in a thousand.

But beating every Pokemon in the gym gives you 50 XP, so you can use your 1000 times a day for a year. Yeah, going to a Pokestop gives you 50 XP. Yeah, Pokestops, then 500 is adding a new Pokemon to the Pokédexion. We do that so many times. 500, a Volvo Pokemon. What's your best Pokemon we got?

I don't really have any of the very good ones. My best one's a Flareon. Mine might be a Flareon too, I think. Mine is my champ. He's 1400, and I'm really proud of him. My Flareon is... Look at what we are doing. Look at what we have become look at what we have because

This is it guys. Hey look at this. You know what? Here's the way this is a prediction that we've been making for years come true What is that prediction that we're all fucking nerd? No that AR was gonna be way more ubiquitous than VR Yeah, like VR there's people that have invested poetic sentence. Thank you There's people that have invested eight800,000 in a VR setup and it's just sitting in their living room right now, but an AR game comes along everybody in the fucking world is playing. Yeah, I'm really embarrassed. Why?

It's a Pidgeau? No, it's not. 931. That's, you never talk again. Hold on, let me see what I got here. You didn't level up your EVA, no? I'm gonna show you my Pokemon's guss, you know? I know, I know. You did it before. You didn't level up your EVA, no. I'm gonna show you my Pokemon's guss, you know, I know.

You got the four you do. Before you evolve your EV, you need to level them up because they go exponential. Now listen, I didn't know that when I did this, okay John? I also wanna be clear about something. I get the feeling that talking about Pokemon, and there's, was a CP Stanford combat point? Yeah, combat power, combat power.

You said yes, so you're in, you say. Just because I'm a yes man. you're in the same boat as me. I mean, yes, man, as you. We're all wrong at the side of the room. I love you, Bernie. Just because we're talking about Pokemon and their CP, doesn't mean we want to see yours and how they're better. So you keep that shit to yourself, you people at home.

I don't want to see on Twitter, I don't want to see an endless screenshots of you and your fucking Pokemon. It's all fake anyway, I'm sure. Have you seen Adam Beard's, like, he posted a screenshot, he's got like 2000. No one Have you seen Adam Beard's, like, he posted a screenshot. He's got like 2000. No one is better than Adam Beard.

Yeah. It's impossible. I refuse to believe it's anybody. Makes me feel bad. Isn't you the Adam Beard wrote a script? Yes, he did. Did he really, that would analyze the map around the office and would tweet, they're like, he called a professor Oak.

Really? And it would message everybody in the company when something was nearby. Yes. What's unbelievable. We had a Slack group and it would go like, Professor Oak really any would message everybody the company when something was nearby. Yes, what unbelievable We had a slack group and it would go like it was like a private poker vision. Yeah, I Bollacle, all right. He's so smart. My best. Yeah, I got I got a Machamp and he's like 1400 I still like 143032. I ran it up. Wait, you said 1302. Yeah, I ran it pretty hard on that I was like, I was like, my flaring at 12.74, we're like 26 points apart. I got some GOD.

2080. So when I had Guirada, that was like 200. Yeah. What? 200. That's possible. They didn't know they caught in the wild. We were in New York City.

I don't think I talked about it last time. We went to go do the VR experience. There was the Ghostbusters one where you go like, it's in Madame Tussauds. Did you not mention it? I think you did. Yeah, I might have. Anyway, we went to go do it.

I mentioned you were going. And it's safe off from Marshmallow Man is in that spoiler if you're gonna go do that. It's a lot of fun. You hit him with your proton pack. It was really cool to like, wield that. I've had two really cool experiences with like childhood franchises that I love

as one was I went to this Madame Tussaud thing and admittedly, I love the void and their technology and everything. Admittedly, this thing needs a lot of work but there was a cool moment where we're out like on a balcony shimming between two windows on a New York apartment building, that was pretty cool. I mean, that felt like I was, you know, 30 stories up.

Well, have you seen those videos that those people doing the walking the plank to save the kitty? Yeah, that looks so great. Yeah, I mean, that felt like I was, you know, 30 stories up. Well, have you seen those videos of those people doing the walking the plank to save the kitty? Yeah, that looks so great. Yeah. I would do that. That's it. It's like the VR thing and it's people that are... You could probably pull this thing called save the kitty. Yeah, they're inside of a room and they have a VR headset on and the VR scenario is that they're like on a high rise and there's a wood plank that's going out over like, you know, nothing. And the end of it is a kitty and you have to save the kitty.

And they're blowing fans, and so they're on, and so they're on like a plank in the room. And then the plank is really in the room, and there's a stuffed cat at the end of the plank, and everything, and there's wind blowing on you, so it really completes the illusion that your, you know, people like to fall over and like freak out. They're all freaked out.

Patrick, it's cute cat too. Yeah. There it is, right there. Yeah, that's it. That's their view, but this is what. This is a different video than I saw. The way I saw it was like in a warehouse. Yeah, they're in a more closed room. Yeah, the way I saw it, people were like scared shitless.

They were like on the floor like inching along. So that was you chimimmying a balcony. If you're listening to the audio podcast, I'm sure you can just look up Save the Kitty. Very important you say kitty, not anything else. You might get a different gif. Save that pussy. I said gif by the way, sorry.

Nope. I paused and become a saviour. I'm gonna check gif. I should say Yif. That's the new thing that people are saying around us. Is it Yif, is it Yif like animals having sex? Is it? No, no, no, no. Hold on, guess. So I I'm Google yipping. I don't want to do. I want to

Do I want to do I want to do I want to be living is yipping? That's like Ferris having sex. Yeah, no, she doesn't know what it is before we get too far off the topic What is your thing for is having sex? Yeah, this thing is not worth as well The other really cool experience I had from a childhood franchise just recently is I played a Star Trek VR thing Which I was like okay? This is what I've been waiting for. What was the VR thing? It was the tattooing one that just came out? Star Wars. What I say? Star Trek? Oh, sorry. That's this one Star Wars Star Trek. We can tell you're your fan. Yeah, it's from Star Trek 5

the Voyage of And you get a lightsaber. Oh, it's tattooing. And there's a jaw-waddy tax scandal. What was the tattooing thing? It was, what's the name of that VR? It's a free demo, so anybody who's got a Vive can download it. Trials on tattooing.

Trials on tattooing. Now, y'all can say trouble on tattooing, which sounds like a George Lucas title for a movie. Trouble on tattooing. But, yeah, it's really great. It's really basic. It's probably about 10 minutes maybe. There we go. We're looking at it. But it's just a cool, like the Millennium Falcon here flies in. We're watching a clip from

Cheevin Hunter playing it. Oh. And I should watch some of their videos sometimes. I should watch some of their videos. I still have not used one fucking VR headset. I have not used VR. Oh, you would like I keep I keep going to your house and watching your Damn cats and I see that VR headset there and I'm like I want to use it, but I don't know how to use it You know I've got them all set up in there, right? I didn't know you had one in your office Yeah, I got a one stage two. Yeah, but someone's gonna help me

No come come by my office. Okay, I'm gonna come by your I'll tell my chair. Are you frustrated when you come by your office. I have it all set up. How are you frustrated when you read like people is setting up their vibe for eight hours? To me, it's you plug in three things and it's all set. Yeah, you plug in what plugs in, then you like draw a square and you're done. Yeah, and the lighthouses don't need any help,

they don't need to be plugged into anything. It's the problem. Yeah, the only problem I have with the lighthouses, and I'm not sure if it's the way they're mounted in my office, is over time they droop. Just try it, just try, just buy a tripod. That's what I did for mine. I bought two like $25 tripods, which is 50 bucks.

It's expensive, but I'm not gonna drill in my wall one day. I had to drill in my office wall. I spent like 700 bucks on this, you know, monitor essentially. So, you should be displayed. Come by my office. Okay, I'm gonna come by my office. We're gonna make some stuff. Oh, here I got nothing to Well, it may look a bfing before we go. I did I was right before you read that oh

Learn to make your own food. I do one of the things that I spend, I agree with. A lot of time with my kids is, you know, they got to learn to cook. They got to make their stuff like JD made, Teddy breakfast the other day. And it was, it was great. It's, you know, we just go through everything.

Like we have all these little culinary experiments. Like JD and I, we had a, we did a really fun thing. We went down to auditorium shores to hunt for charmanders. It was, the goal was to have a picnic and then we would just walk around and collect charmanders to the point where we could evolve to a charizard. I know way too much. You still pronounce it like that.

I know what charizard, when I say, well you like your charizard, charizard. Just say charizard. People are really up on, or down on the way that I pronounce things. Or you're like over and up, you don't need to. You know what it is, just say charizard. People don't like the way I say, Star Wars? No, the way they get used to it just say, Charizard. People don't like the way I say...

Star Wars? No, the Queen's with the Heart Tears. They don't like the way I say the Queen's name on Game of Thrones. And I say the Correct Way. What's the Queen's name? Sir Say. Okay. And everyone says, everyone goes fucking ape shit on Twitter whenever we talk about Game of Thrones,

they say, stop fucking saying her name. Sir Say, her name is the Correct Way what why is it the correct way because that's why George R.R. Martin says okay so he says it that way there's interviews with them where he says sersay say okay I agree with you on that it's also a name that's sersay I hear her the name strutty I mean they might and if I have it's spelled C-I-R-C-E not the way she spells her S-E-I end. Okay. So you're right. I'm sure I was. Oh, they also got mad at me because I pronounced something else. We're did a day and I can't remember what it was now They were very upset with me. That's saying star wars. They're one star wars

We're sorry. They didn't know John's man. We were pronouncing charizard and we're like that's just how you said it just char Resard charizard. Well, it's because char million. There's a char Well, it's because it's char million. There's char, char, char, char, char, char, char. It's let it flow right out of you, Bernie, okay? So we went into that. So JD and I, we had some summer sausage from, left from that, which is basically, I mean, it's a real Campbell brand, but it's like that peppered farm

is like sausage that you don't have to refrigerate for whatever reason. And so we just tried like different ways of cooking that. Like with brown sugar, he found some weird method where you boil water along with it and a little bit of vinegar and then let it burn all the way down and then that sears the sausage. It was actually pretty good, wasn't it?

But I love doing that stuff, like making your own pizza dough, making your own pasta. It's like I can always cook for myself at an early age, like when could you learn to cook your basic food for yourself? Gus. Last week? No, I was here. No, no. Probably the teenager.

Really? I feel like it's just sort of. Eight years old, I was making myself eggs. I think I wasn't trusted around the world. I was actually, I didn't start cooking until, I feel like college. Really? And I was like, I made,

my cooking skills have not progressed since college. I make spaghetti and eggs and I've got a service for you What do you do? Fish is so complicated to make no it isn't no it isn't not my fish you have fish sticks What do you make just get some fish that are raw? Fish you got what what name of fish Chris? What are you eating? We name a name of a fish you got to. What kind of fish? What? Name a fish, Chris. What are you eating? Name a name of a fish. You go to the church and give me fish. Sort. Sort. Sort. Sort.

Sort fish. You buy sort fish. That's a, that's a, that's a name of fish I was thinking. Oh, why are you going out the reservation that? He's continuing the theme of Christophe and all the things he's never done. Sammon, there we go. You just buy fish. I know. It doesn't matter what kind. Not here, but it's a lot. It matters a little bit.

I'm going to go to the butcher and go to the fish section and go, I want sword. No, no, just, the fish section go I want sword No, no, just yeah, I love fish. I want you buy one fish And then I just you know I put it in a what I do for cooking is whatever I'm cooking I just put Like dressing on it like all dressing you put like Italian salad. Yeah, whatever whatever dressing I have. Ranch? Ranch? Sure. It's whatever dressing I have, I just, it's like I'm cooking fish or whatever it is. I'll just put dressing on it and then I'm like, cook it.

It's got taste like sauce on it. It's got so many snacks. You're putting like thousand island on it. Sure. Look, it's like you're back in the ocean. I'll put it in the oven. Yeah, because it's like all those flavors mix together into one sauce and Chris

I don't normally ever eat seafood if I go to your house you could be fish We have a fish cookoff with Chris and like nobody else He does Chris Chris you need to make a space. I'll do that and just give me a couple of salad I would I would a fish cookoff between Chris and Teddy, my 11 year old. It's so you can make better fish. Can we get a Michelin star for a food truck?

I don't know how he could qualify. I have no idea with that stunning recipe of fish and dress. What kind of dressing? Whatever. Whatever I got a fish. I would like. Will you soar to me?

I can see. I can see. I can see. well you sordered with me. I can see it. Oh my God. Well it's it, because I can bury up my flavors by my dressing eye. Oh my God. So crazy. The fish doesn't matter.

It's just, all that matters is the dressing. You gotta walk me through this whole thing. I gotta see this. I gotta see this. You get a piece of fish. You get a fish. You get a fish. Doesn't matter what kind of. No, no, you get to say fish. You get fish. Doesn't matter what kind of fish.

You come home and do what with it. Well, there's so many ways you can cook something. How do you cook this fish? Typically what I'll do is I'll just put it in a pan and then I'll pour dressing on it. Okay, and then you eat it raw out of a pan. I'll put it on it. I'll put dressing on it and I'll flip it over

so it gets on both sides and then I'll just cook it on the oven thing. So you're cooking on the stove top on the stove top like the stove. Yeah, so you're basically like frying fish in a pan With a dressing With your instincts and you put the dressing on as part of the cooking process not after it's cooked Yeah, before so it gets like cooked into it. You're using any oil or anything just like a nonstick pan sometimes I'll spray you know spray the stuff on it God the or anything just like a nonstick pan. Sometimes I'll spray the stuff on it. God, the... Pams.

Pams, pams. Butter spray. What are you calling? Someone please sign Chris up for Blue Apron, please. Someone just... I cannot wait to see the animated adventure version of this. Oh my God. It's by like a social disorder that he did.

He didn't go on. He's like, what else? You know, I will not use that grill ever since Marcus cooked the iguana on it. Did you know you used the grill? Yeah, I used the grill during the steak off. Yeah, but it's like it's fine. Yeah, I mean Gwana was really smelly And iguana is an edible thing, you know There's a lot of people in the world be happy to eat in a Gwana I'll eat a Gwana. Yeah, really? Yeah. I'll try it. Did you see I've read it? There was a quiz that you could take that was 27 questions

That I have nothing to do with politics saw that and they would determine where you fall on the political spectrum. I did not see that I thought it nailed me it did I took it to it got me pretty well What I don't see some kind of curious where did put you? I'll tell you where put me it put me pretty much dead in the middle but like Probably one or two questions to the left, more liberal. Yeah. Where did it put you? About the same thing, probably a little bit further liberal than you.

Yeah. But it wasn't like, you know, 100% one or the other, it landed in a pretty accurate spot. But there were questions in there like, would you eat a monkey? Yeah. And I couldn't imagine what would be, I mean, if you said yes,

do you believe that like any animals, like there for people to eat essentially is that I said yes because I'm curious How about monkey takes a monkey I think I said I would eat a monkey in that too. I think I'm a person I would need a person name of an old argument Yeah, no, I would need a person on a boss bonobos monkey. I feel like you're eating a monkey. I wouldn't want to eat a monkey I would maybe if I was like really hungry or if that monkey was like a dick. Really that's all a cake. No, no, no, no. Just a Christmas monkey.

I would never eat a monkey unless he was hungry. Then he would eat a monkey. If I was hungry, I'm gonna seek out monkey because I do think they're pretty smart and like they're kind of like a... There we go. I might be willing to try to eat. Yeah, and there was like, there was degrees of like, how much you agreed. Let me read this. See, there were entire set of questions where how much you were disgusted by the question Yeah, the question is I might be willing to try eating monkey meat under some circumstances

The answers are truly disagree mildly disagreed neutral mildly agree and strongly agree I think I put strong We'll have to try that out later. I would do I think I do God, I don't know maybe neutral on that I started once I get too deep into these surveys too, I start overthinking my own thought process. Like, dude, do I strongly agree with this? Or do I mildly agree with this? It's like, I mildly, what, what qualify for mildly? It's like, I get lost in my own head

on these dopey things. We take a ton of tests for the amazing race. We take a, it was like a whole day. I haven't taken that many standardized tests since like high school. What percent are you in? They wouldn't reveal any of the information to us. They asked his questions though about like, how do you think you did on this test? How do you think you did on that? So it was interesting. Yeah, I think when you get like

customer service surveys that are like that, where it's like one to ten strongly disagree to strongly agree. It's like I don't want to do this. I just don't want to do this. If you have ever ever take a survey like at a restaurant when they leave the surveys on the table, I do that a lot. You take the surveys? Yeah, a lot of times you get a free burger or something. Do you ever got anything free from that?

Oh yeah. Really? Chris is a very frugal person. Chris, also, you're the one critiquing the taste of the food at restaurants, and you cook fish when You're not dressing. I am. This is wasted.

You can get a good cycle going where you get like free fries every time you go to a place or something. You'll get a you'll you'll you'll you'll buy burger and then you'll be like oh my Christmas cards. You know you get in your groove. You get this good cycle and you'll you'll buy burger and then it'll be like, oh, I feel like Chris describes it. You know, you get in your groove. You get this good cycle. And then you'll buy burger and then it'll be like, fill out this, you know, survey and you'll get a free fries

when the next time you come. While I'm eating the burger, I'll fill out the survey, acquire a new fries for the next time I come. Yeah. And then get fries and a burger. Yeah, I just see the constant cycle fries. Where's the place where you get free fries? Can you say?

Or you're an NDA. I'm your survey. The one that's coming a constant cycle for us. Where's the place we get for you fries? Can you say are you on an NBA? I'm in this survey the one that's coming to mind is smash burger. Yeah smash burger is a lot press for it I have why do they have Different sizes of oh you said smash burger Maybe think of five guys why do they have different sizes of fries at five guys? What is that fries themselves or the service like service like you can get like small meeting were large But in the end it's just like here's your fries and then here's a bag full of fries Yeah, right now they just pour like yeah a shit

Tuna matter French fries again. It doesn't matter. You never have to order anything other than small I go to every burger place basically once and then go back to in and out almost every time or smash burger Which I love smash not smash burger. What about Peter shake-shack? Pee Titt Pee Terry's is I don't know if they have other places outside of Austin But it always felt like our solution for not having anything Yeah, and then once we got in and out it was like okay, I like I like my In fact, I got a prize mighty finds better than the line might find the best in and out does that better price

But Peter is this closer to me. Yeah, same here Before we get off of Chris's crazy for illness. I was reminded of the day of a funny story about you and me about when When I got divorced It was a very stressful time as most divorces are fucking hilarious so far And so when it finally ended and it was all over Chris took me out To he I told him and he and he wanted to take me out to get lunch or something

To like I guess sort of celebrate the end of it fish dinner. Chris took me to CC's pizza Where we had where we hate the pizza buffet at CC's pizza Midday in the middle of the week see I guess he's pizza by the way is just to be clear is like a 299 buffet of pizza And pizza is a relative. It's like pizza-like substance. We can't legally call it pizza. It is a pizza-like. It's the kind of place when you're in college.

Sunday you go to CCC's and it's the best day of your life because you eat enough for the whole week essential. Yeah, I had a good time. I don't know what. Why are you two in the company? You're one of the CCC's by the gym. No, it's the one here by the Why are you joining the company? You're the C.C.S. by the gym? No, it's the one here by the office. This is the C.C.S. by the office?

Yeah, so it's like a little hidden gym. Where is it? It's up at the door to like the target is, like that directly. There's a C.C.S. over there? Yeah. Well, I'll be damned. And yeah, there was, it was a good time. Yeah, I enjoyed the company. I enjoyed the company. I'll be damned. And yeah, it was a good time. Yeah, it was a good time.

I enjoyed the company. I enjoyed the company. I enjoyed the company. Yeah, by the way, that's the new thing that I do when I go out. It's pretty much this Pokemon Go that made me kind of discover this. Is now when I go out with people,

one of the questions I always ask people in a group of like six or eight people, like a few couples, is where's a place in Austin to eat? They don't think other people know about and try to find like little places. And the crazy thing was somebody mentioned a place and then Ezra took us to dinner there and then we went to a brunch there like the next day. So as weird that I heard about this place and they ended up going there twice totally

from somebody else's suggestion. Yeah, but I mean living in Austin so long now, it's like there's tons of restaurants, but at the same time it's like, I feel like I've been to all these places. I'm trying to make an effort where once a week, I'm going to a restaurant I've been to. That's good.

I'm trying to see a bunch of new places. I went to a place around the corner from here called Dai Duai. So I say Dai Du. Dai Du? Dai Du. And that was good. Place good. Oh, no kidding.

What's wrong? Was was it was the beats? I was fine. I had a Beats and what I kind of stayed like that was tell us more about the beats like the beats Charter beats Jesus beats a few more times On a I thought it was just too fancy like it tried to be overly fancy for the sake of what it was I especially really like it felt like it was kind of in a strip mall a little bit. Yeah, I feel it.

So it's like sometimes I think some places over complicate the food and they try to make it like this new style of cooking. It's like no. No, you make me want to take Gavin there. He's got to fucking hate that. I have a question and it's a question I'm curious that it's a person who moved to Austin.

Go ahead. Someone's coming in town and you, they want to have Austin barbecue. Where do you take them? I would go to Michael weight Michael what Michael weight. Yeah, never been there. It's it's really close to Franklitz Okay, I the obviously I think the brisket's better at Franklin But if you don't want to wait four hours in a line, you go to Michael weight and they've got they've got very good brisket But they've got an awesome beef rib. Okay, I don't think the the thing that separates Michael weight from other barbecue places is They have really good sides usually barbecue places

Or just about the meat and everything else kind of sucks. Yeah, go wait. It's all good Chris I go to Bill Miller's bus Let me put in context for the audience. That's like, hey, Gus, I got some people coming to town. We want to go to a nice, stay in a place, somewhere the serves beef, where should we go? A nice steak place. Some of the for me. So now we're gonna be able to find out where you live just by this cross-section of C.C.s and Bill Miller's.

But like he pointed at each of those chance points and the girls. Bill Miller's C.C.s Chris is there. I will say this where I would take somebody who's coming in from out of town is I think a highly underrated place that a lot of people would probably put in the same category as Bill millers is Rudy's I Rudy's great barbecue. Yeah, totally solid Totally consistent every time you know it's gonna be exactly like the last time you know about how big the line's gonna be Yeah, that's why I go to it by like five minutes which in some reason

barbecue Texas barbecue is mostly beef barbecue and Barbecue takes a long time to cook. And so as a result of that, barbecue places feel like you should wait in line for fucking ever. I don't know of a barbecue place where you just like walk up and order it. Rudy's you can get that sometimes, Bill Miller's because it's McDonald's.

Well Rudy's they're just constantly back there cooking, cutting, cooking, cutting. Yeah, but what's the logic there of like why like do, like, even when you go to Salt Lake, you're waiting there two hours before you even get a table sometimes, you know? When you go to Franklin, you're there in line for fucking five hours. I've never done that.

Guess if I ever do that, you have permission to laugh at me. Yes, I will definitely laugh. Have you ever waited in the Franklin's line? I did. Not to five hours. Like, it used to be a food trailer near my old house. All right. And I would walk there all the time

because it was like, oh cool, yeah, I'm just gonna get barbecue and then it got popular. Yeah, is that what made me think? I used to go there before it was popular or when you got it. Here's a place that you might not know about. That's actually really good. It's up, we're totally into this local eatery thing.

Go up Burnett, there's a place called Switch Style. Oh, I hate that place. Oh, do you really? The style switch. That's what it is. Oh called Switch Style? Oh, I hate that place. Oh, do you really? Style Switch. Style Switch, there it is. Oh, God. That barbecue, they, uh, I once,

it's probably about time to bring up today's podcast is also for you to switch that. I had some, and I brought it to go. I brought it back to my house. And I'm normally not a big sausage fan, but it's like I'm gonna try their sausage. I'm gonna try all the different barbecue that they've got. I picked up this piece of sausage and I bit it, and there was so much grease in it that a stream of grease

Shot out and hit the wall opposite across from my dining room table money shot and the stain is still there I cannot get The steam came back through It will do that. Yeah, I protect your rid of it That's a massive man- style switch driving greasy as sauce is just staying my wall. It doesn't do with the actual food. Food wasn't that great either. I would much rather go to Michael Wait. Michael Wait's awesome. Okay. All right.

Well, that's that's our tour of Austin Barbeque. I'm just curious. Food's a big thing. Somebody comes in down. I'm going to take him for breakfast tacos more than before taking a barbecue. It's my anywhere. Down south we go to Taco Express. I love that place. Very classic Austin. It's like a bunch of junk uses art and like this huge lady statue. Taco daily is good. I love Taco. He's keep going.

I'm a torches coach. Taco. Yeah. Give me a little Tyson's. Go to go to Paca Stacas. Paca Stacas. Paca Stoccas. Tyson's also. Paca Stoccas.

We can get off the subject so we can start talking about local people. So I watched a throwback to old like podcast and all the other day. Yeah, we'd have it right before lunch. So we do talk about local eateries. I'm going to read one more thing, but I want to talk about when I'm done reading it. I want to talk about a documentary that I watched over the weekend. Right.

Thank you, brain tree, for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. So not having to do with the internet. I watched a documentary, it was a vice documentary over the weekend about, and it's going to sound like I'm lying to you. It's going to sound like I'm making this up. It's about this area in the mountains of Peru, where on Christmas day, everyone in the village gets drunk, then they all come out into the town square, and they all fight each other. I love it.

And it's like, if you've had a grievance with someone on Christmas morning, if you've had a grievance with someone during the year, you call them out in front of the whole village and you fight. You're gonna say why? No, you just call them out, you fight. So it's the perch? But they have rules, like you're not supposed to pull hair, you're not supposed to... You can only... You can only punch and kick, and you can't hit someone who's on the ground

So wait, what if someone doesn't show up? What if someone doesn't show up? Everyone's there They go it like the crowd they're all in max go through the village pounding on all the doors Making sure everyone comes out. Oh, so everyone has to produce everyone is there and But does everyone have to fight if you're called out. Yeah, you have to fight if it's your first night So then so they go to a couple of different villages and like that first the video we just showed to some of the first one and it's kind of a festive mood like everyone's drinking and having a party and then every now and then there's like a fight and it's just kind of like a couple of half-ass punches but then they keep going further up the mountain and they get to another village or no

it's fucking on. It's like there's like little kids fighting each other. She's. There's women fighting each other. Is this something you want to implement in the room? That's what I was gonna say. It's like, are we gonna have like, is April 1st like our birthday also our Get Your Beaf out day? Yeah, we should. And that's it. You're whatever, whatever problem you had, you're done.

It's over. It's over. You gotta let go of that. Yeah, but nobody does. I mean, next year you're beating the guy because he beats your ass. That's what you're gonna be like. I'm like, don't wanna rematch.

You have to wait a whole year, that guy's mad. But you can only fight so many people. So you gotta really prioritize who you're mad at. I can fight a lot of people. Depends on the first one goes. You pick them, right? Can you pick? Can you go, right?

You're pick or you're fighting. What you can do more? You can do like a ring and get like gloves and stuff. But I don't know. That's a bad idea. I'm gonna fight you. I'm gonna fight you. I'm gonna fight you. pickling your fight. What do you do more like a ring and get like gloves and stuff? But I don't know. That's a bad idea. I'm like, that guy, this guy, this guy, all y'all come at once. We were gonna have, for an immersion,

we were gonna have, That's right. Michael and Gavin do training exercises from the MMA video game, and then like get in the ring with an MMA fighter. Holy crap. Nope, I would not do that. We figured a boxer would be bad

because a boxer could actually like give you brain damage And a MMA fighter it'll be so fast It'll just like really hurt you get all banged up, but you'll probably won't have like a long-term effects Well, that's like when they did that on jackass with like the female kickboxing champion that Asian lady He just kicks a took her knee right through his skull. She kicks a Oh god, what's the guy the guy? The guy, not Jeff Tremaine. Ryan Don. She kicks Ryan Don in the stomach, and it looks like

one of the most brutal things. That was that MMA fighter who got his face shattered recently. Was it cyborg? He walked up. Yeah, the guy, Joe Rogan posted that. Need in the face, and then the guy who won, like through a Pokeball, actually, like he was catching him. But the guy who got Need in the face, like posted his x-ray of his face to Twitter

Wow, and it is just like shattered like pieces. Yeah, from where the the knee hit him in the face Patrick I took a is that illegal move or something. No, no Just happens when you hit someone hard enough. I took something from Twitter somebody had a picture of Chris in the kitchen They sent it to us. Do you have that? I sent it to you on instant message so I was thinking to find that. With an instant message? I sent it to Patrick via instant message. What do you mean like AOL instant message? Yeah, you still use AIM? No I don't. I sent

it to you on MMS. Is that better? Is that better? I was just wondering. I texted it to you. Okay, I'm just curious. Hey, don't be so like defensive. You don't be defensive. That's a skull? Yeah, I was showing Chris the X-ray That's not good. The skull should not look like that. Yeah, there shouldn't be that many pieces. Skull should be different. There's Chris in the kitchen You got Gordon Ramsay Oh man, so this is going reeling at myself the fish needs the fucking fish needs were fucking dressing myself. The fish needs more fucking fish needs more fucking dressing. Yeah, so yeah, I don't want to move to Peru. Yeah, long going. Before that, you were ready to go to Peru. The story, they talked about the history of it. It was really interesting. I guess like this region in... Is there a history

behind people getting drunk and beating each other up? Is there really a history? There is. So much rich story. They talk about how it's an area that resisted occupation and has resisted occupation for many years. Like when the Spanish conquered South America, they could not conquer that part of Peru, because the people just fought them so vigorously. And before them, when I wanna say it was the Incas were conquering that whole area, the Incas never captured that area.

Really? And to this day, people in that area, they can speak Spanish, but they still have their own dialect, like the own language that they've held on for thousands of years now, that they don't speak anywhere else. I like these people. Just because anybody who shows up, our Christmas day,

they're gonna fuck them up. Yeah. It's like, it's just a real, I don't know, a real like. It seemed like a lot of people when you said a village I'm thinking like there's like 40 people. No, no, it's a huge It's like several thousand people. Yeah, I'll they're way along each other. It's it was fucking who would you fight? Who would I fight like a rooster chief? Yeah Christmas day Man, I don't know I probably fight Brandon really? Yeah, just because

Production staff would you wear a mask? Brandon? Yeah, I because he and his production staff. He's been going to be a lot lately. Would you wear a mask? Oh, I'd brand him. Yeah, I'd wear a mask. I was going to wear a mask. Who could it be? I discovered recently that when we shot a immersion at RTX, and I discovered that at this immersion, that I can tell a lot of the people in this company, even if they're master in disguise, and like that,

just from their walk. Sure. You couldn't tell me about. I totally could tell you. No, no, no. I did that. I did the sponsor-only version of the immersion. I had to fucking good disguise.

No, you didn't. Yes, I did. No, you didn't. I was there. I saw you immediately. No, you did not. No, you did not. Who was in that one with you for the sponsor one again?

Who else did it was you in for the sponsor one? There's Michael and Gavin were in the main one me and Bruce Bruce Bruce Bruce Bruce we did it during RTX. Yeah, it was fun. That was a lot of fun. Who would you fibery? Ivan probably She's our she's our CFO I don't know I don't think there's anybody that I would. You got it. You got to. I do, do I have to choose somebody?

Is that part of the deal? I'm going to find who you're going to find. You can say me. I'll find you. No, I wouldn't find you. She's scrappy. I want to be like you. Hopefully beat.

You beat me. I get to the balance of who you're, you want to fight and who you're going to win. You know what I'm saying, I'm going to fight. I would fight Alan Abdeen because I think that no matter what happens at the end of it, like he's the guy that would be able to walk away from it. I think Alan would wreck you. Oh, you do? Yeah.

All right. Now I want to fight. No, I think, yeah, I think Alan Abdeen because I feel like, I feel like we're similar sizes. Similar size. Similar age. And I feel like we could feel like we're similar sizes, similar age. Similar age. Similar age. And I feel like we could just go at it and then that would ever happen to happen. That's it, you know.

I'm just, yeah. It's not like we're having sex by the end of that, but that's not at all. You're gonna be tending together. We're gonna pull it together. We're gonna pull it together. Oh wait, I asked you before the podcast, I was asking if you would ever go bouldering.

And I assumed that. You said rock climbing. Oh my god. Can I say bouldering? Can and I assume you said rock climbing. Well he's oh my god can I say bouldering can I say rock climbing who fucking bouldering does bouldering mean indoors yeah I think so okay where you places called the Austin where you indoors you were there I was

indoors okay so it's an indoor rock climbing wall yeah so it's like an outdoor thing but it's indoor so you would love that rock I climbed indoors bouldering is a former rock climbing is performed without the use of ropes or harnesses there you go it's an actual thing, but it's indoor. So you would love that. I didn't find any rocks. I climbed indoor. Bouldering is a former rock climbing is performed without the use of ropes or harnesses. There you go.

It's an actual thing. I did it without ropes. Yeah, because it's indoor. There's like mats and stuff. And it's only like 10 feet high. No, you go up about, I mean, there's some that would be pretty. You go like 11. Yeah, no, there's some that were like at least like 15, 20.

Oh, man. That's a fall. You fall from that. That's serious. Probably. You ever watch some of those boldering, like, finals that they have, they post-culture? Speed climber?

It's crazy. They're in constant motion. They're inhuman, they're inhuman. It's nuts. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, nice thing, you couldn't do it. Why you couldn't you do it? Just, there's no way, I could lift myself up like that. Okay, so you mean just actually, you couldn't accomplish the physical activity of it. Right. I think you'd be able to get up some of the easier ones.

The ones that are like at a slope where you can hit call the same. Yeah, they're like color coordinated and there's like a certain color that's easier to go up and then a certain color is harder. There's like ones where you have to be upside down. Those are insane. Not doing that.

So you said, but your answer was because you said you wouldn't do it because the physical activity, but and on this discussion about the fighting, have you ever been in a situation where you've actually wanted to fight someone? I wanted to punch someone this weekend. I don't know if that counts. What did, like, just like, you wanted to surprise clock them? Yeah. It's going to sound so dumb if I explain it.

You don't want to explain it? I was um I was at a coffee shop on Sunday, I think as you the common place of the fights and I went there I was just gonna I just ordered a cup of coffee was in the morning I was gonna take it back to my place and drink it So I ordered my coffee and I looked for a place to sit down and wait while they you know they brew it And I see all of this in open chair So I sit down and so there's a chair and there's like a little side table here and on the side table is an issue of the chronicle so

I'd like I'm like okay cold as a chair so I just sit down and there's a chair next to me's empty it's got like a bag in it so I'm like okay I guess someone's sitting there so I sit down I'm sitting down for like 30 seconds I pull my phone out to look for Pokemon because there's a Pokemon starting nearby as you do and so I hear someone about me go, ooh, hey, I'm actually sitting there. That's my seat. That's my issue with the Chronicle. You see I left it right there. I was like, oh, okay.

So I stood up to leave. I was going to give him a seat back. It's bullshit, by the way. That's that amazing seat. That's the exact same seat. Whatever. I'm like, that's fine. You want to see.

I'm just waiting for my coffee to leave. And the guy who looks at me and you see that I Pokemon he goes, oh don't worry this Pokemon over there I was like kind of fucking thing is that to say to me. I wanted to punch him right in this fucking Cheese, don't worry this Pokemon over there like he's talking down to me like that was why you were upset right? Like I'm not even upset. I was fine with the guy until he said don't worry this Pokemon over there Don't fucking be little what I'm doing asshole Local Austin man punches That would have made me mad too though I'm with you on that it's kind of condescending super it's paid

Yeah, absolutely. It's just oh yeah, yeah, don't worry. You're a little Pokemoner. They're everywhere They're like sit here like oh cool. Thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that there are Pokemon over there What a fucking dickhead dude? I I started to tell this story should have been like their chairs over there, too I started to tell a story on a podcast a long time ago But I talked about running into the rare bird which was the Austin asshole when you run into like a just an in your face kind of weird asshole. And I ran into a guy like that in, we were down off of South First Street. You know, the trailer park where Torchy started, food trailers. We were there, and I forget, we were in line for that place that sells the cake shakes, which is probably the greatest thing ever.

They take a shake, an ice cream shake, and they put a slice of cake in it, and then blend it up. Interesting. Oh my God. No, I have not. Oh my God. It's so good. Where is this? It's like South first, just south of Barton Springs, Road. You know what, it splits, we're ever signs of splits with Barton Springs.

What's it called? It's called Cacao, I think. All right. I'll look it up for you. And holy cow. Right. Holy cacao. Holy cacao.

Is that it? Thank you. Cool. And there's next Sunday. It cacao. Holy cacao. Is that it? Cool, and there's next Sunday. It knows everything. I'll let the fact checking over here. But they have a red velvet and vanilla cake shake. Reveal with bullshit. What?

Reveal with it is bullshit. It's a food color. Can I come out of nowhere? Yeah, then matter, it tastes good. I'll click into the map. Anyways, long story short, the cake. Oh, there's a cake shake. Look at that.

We're showing a picture right now in the monitors. They blended a cake into a sheet. Oh, I've seen that sign. Yeah, I'm gonna need to go there. I'm sure you have. That's what you go there just to get that. And they have cake balls, which by the way, is basically just cake batter covered in chocolate.

Yeah, I know that. Pretty good. Very good, very moist. It is. Anyway, this is where it's going over fast. Basically I was in line. Ha ha ha ha. Beats.

No, it was in line. Ha ha ha ha ha. I was in line and I was with the kids and I think Ashley was there too and it was a while ago and the guy behind me was with a girl and I was talking to the kids and I turned around and the guy asked me a question, the kids were talking to me and the guy asked me a question and I was like, I was like, I was like, I said, what? And he goes, he goes, do you know what, where, where he started or something like that?

I can't remember what the fucking question was. And I was like, oh, I said, I don't know, they wouldn't, whatever. And she, and I turned back around and was talking to the kids. And I heard the girlfriends say, what did he say? And the guy goes, I guess, I don't know. He goes, that's what's happening

in this town, these assholes come in from California and they think they own the place. And I turned around and don't know. He goes, that's what's happening in this town. These assholes come in from California and they think they owe in the place. And I turned around and go, what the fuck did you just say? I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was about that just absolutely infuriated me. And I pulled the whole, like I asked them, I said, I said, how long have you lived in this fucking town?

And he goes, oh, I didn't, I wasn't talking about you. I go, who are you talking about? And he goes, oh, you just, you look like, you look like a guy that I know who's from California, so I thought you might be that guy. And I go, you're a fucking idiot. And the girl from like turns and walks away.

And I got my food, I got everything I fell back to my kids right out of the custom of this guy. We got our food, everything. I literally, after we left, I walked by the girl, go, your boyfriend's an asshole. Like just like, just like walking away. I was so about that guy, just fucking infuriated me. That's so aroused right now.

Wait till Christmas day, and call him out, and put him in the city of Austin, and be like the long center in front, down by auditorium shores. It's so weird, because I talked about it running into the Austin asshole on a previous podcast,

but I didn't get, you know, we get to railed and don't, don't finish something that we start. And I've had people like ask me about the guy that I met that was an asshole for years, and it's like, I'm just, just came up again. So it's invigorating, but that's like literally one of the only bad experiences I've had in Austin in 20 years of living here. Yeah, it's a huge You've lived here longer than just about anyone. Well, I mean not Well, I mean, but you know, I mean like yeah, at the Burns day they founded Austin

I mean, I mean, I mean the sense that like I I've lived in Austin for over 10 years now And people when I tell people that they're like I can hear a 1990 I came to Austin Yeah, and people are like, oh my god, you lived here forever. I'm like well Gus was in when did you come here 95? I was born here lived here when I was a kid moved away important distinction move back when I was a move back in 98 98 lived here when I was a kid, moved away. Important distinction. Move back when I moved back in 98. 98. I have something I was really, never worth thinking. Okay, please.

On a date, right? Chris has one of those smiles that lets me know that something bad is about to happen. Oh, I was looking at this pillow. I love Hitler as a verb, and it made me think of a date. Just gonna settle this story. Maybe you think of a date? So I was like a date in history or a date with a person?

They were the person that happened on a date in history. I was on a date at some point and in Nazi Germany. And so I listed a lot of audiobooks, and I'm listening to all your updates. I got to slow your story down for just one second, I promise. I gotta know, how did the date happen? Like, did you see this person you asked them out? Was it someone that you knew?

Like, how does that magic work for you? This is a person I met. In person. A person you met in person. Person I met in person. Start talking, hung out. You met a person from talking. Were you talking in person. Person I met in person. Start talking, hung out. You met a person from talking. Were you talking at a party or at a coffee shop?

It's like a park type thing. Park type thing. So then I'm the girl. What's a park type thing? At one point in our conversation, are you like, I'm going to ask her out on a date. It was, we hung out for a bit and I'm like, oh, goodbye. And then, the point and I'm like, oh, goodbye.

And then the point of goodbye is like, hey, well, we should, you know, let's like, be friends on Facebook or something and then from there kind of talking and like, hey, let's go grab a drink or whatever. Okay, so you asked her out over Facebook after you got to know her in person. Yes. Okay, thank you. There you go.

You can't just carry it. Anyway, so, you know, I listened to a lot of audio books. I'm currently... That was magical, by the way. I want to fuck you at this point. So, go ahead. I listened to a lot of audiobooks. I'm currently that was magical by the way I want to fuck you at this point But anyway, it was a lot of books. I'm really into history so I'm doing one right now on Hitler and World War two It's like an art. It's like you know, it's like a

anyway, so I've been Hearing a lot of audio book about Hitler and at some point in doing the date Hitler came up. We're talking about Hitler. Okay, how do Hitler come up? Guess how do you think Hitler came up? They were talking about things that they have in common things that they hate, that they both hate. Hitler? It's an easy starter. It's easy to talk about how big of a dick Hitler was. Right, right, right. You're talking about a common ground. I don't know, I don't remember. Yeah, I saw it since we were friends on Facebook. I noticed you don't like Hitler on Facebook. That's, you know, in Facebook.

So they have like your likes and dislikes down at the bottom? Hitler was down there. Yeah, so anyway, we were talking about Hitler. But then it was a weird thing where we were in the discussion about Hitler. I was a weird thing. Tell them it was a weird thing in the discussion about Hitler on the first date. She kept saying things that she kept like Like saying what let's talk about Hitler

I don't know something like sig Heil Sure It was just things were like she would say little things that weren't correct and I kept having to like correct her So you're like a fan of Hitler like that's how I fall actually let me manage points And it kept having it's like I had to stop myself from correcting facts about Hitler because I knew too much because I just was in this audiobook about World War II. And I would be like, it was one of those things we were talking about, like Hitler and his kids. I'm like, she was talking about, oh yeah, you know that none of his kids actually ended up

having blah, blah, blah. And none of his kids had other kids. I'm like, blah, and none of his kids had other kids. I'm like, actually, I don't think Hitler had any kids. I had to like, correct, you know, about that. You know, is that actually, or actually? And then later, actually, there were a couple other things, right? So you're sandbagging your Hitler knowledge.

So you don't seem like a, like, you're like, can I be like a Hitler hipster? You don't want to seem like you know too much. I didn't want to, yeah, I was like, I don't know how much, but I also was like, I want to correct. I wanted to correct the Hitler mistakes. Can't have misinformation about there about Hitler, Chris. Don't we all, don't we all.

And then I had to stop myself, and I'm like, anyway, the point of conversation was, on a date, do you correct someone if they say things that are incorrect? Only if it's about Hitler. John, we're going to role play. I'm going to play the girl. You ask me how the date was. Do you correct someone if they say things that are incorrect only if it's about Hitler John? We're gonna roleplay. I'm gonna play the girl. Okay. You ask me how the date was Oh, like ask you back from the date with Chris how to go hey, where do you have the day go? Oh that guy was crazy Hey, you want to go out to get her hair done? Yeah, that sounds good

That's how that story went for her Chris do you say you're a friend you're a fucking I don't want to talk about it. Can we go do something? But it's like I could you know what never mind. We're just we're gonna leave Yeah, I shouldn't talk about Hitler on dates. I mean that's how to go um second date not yet Is this recently No Not yet

It was three years ago. It was three years ago. No, you never know. If you can do your way out of the hole in my backyard, yeah, we'll go on a second date. Sure, why not? I love that eternal optimism, Chris. I'm just going through all my first dates and feeling a lot better about it right now.

So, you know, we were talking about movies earlier and I meant to bring this up. How do you give most of your dates? Tinder. OK, sorry, I guess. Go ahead. That's fine. So, the suicide squad movie.

Yeah. Coming out this weekend. Suicide Squad. People very strong opinions about it. I don't know nothing. It's not yet. I know nothing about comics. I've said this many times.

I know nothing about suicide squad. John, you know about comics, right? Do you know about comics? Do you know about suicide squad? I do know about suicide squad. Bad guys, you do good stuff. How do they motivate bad guys to do good stuff? They put a what's the potential down?

Two things two things one they're well in the comic. They are working off a life sentence So they by doing these missions working off. Okay, by doing these missions it reduces their sentence and two they put nanite bombs inside of them Okay, so that's the nanite bomb is more so not so they do the mission It's so that they don't go and kill people or run away on the mission But it's mostly it's like hey you have done heinous crime that would never get you out of jail ever again Will let you get some of your energy out and even maybe get to kill some people by doing like black ops missions That we can't have superheroes be doing and we can't have them seen be doing stuff. And then they also have the potential to leave jail.

They have potentially jail. Marvel has the exact same thing with a team called Thunderbolts. So they both have done it. Yeah, not to make a movie about that one. I like Thunderbolts kind of a little better than suicide squad. I love to make a movie out of what's the Marvel comic they had where the people who clean up after superheroes destroy a city. Oh, I can't remember what it's called. Damage control. Yeah, there's a name of the company is what they are. Damage ink, right? Yeah, I think I'm a damage ink. But Damage control's the name of the comic.

Okay, what's that? We got control rooms. Yeah, I can. Okay, next one's there. That's right. There's so many comic book Netflix series now. I can't keep up. Well, it's an easy place to pull for adaptations.

Like, you used to be books where you got all your adaptations, but like comic books are just so much like I haven't seen Jessica Jones or the flash or any of that stuff or Daredevil and now that now they're going to be the defenders. Yeah, like this is whole other. Well, that was the whole plan. It was kind of like how Avengers was the plan with the MCU. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist were all to lead up to defenders. Did you and I have to make a long discussion about Mrs. Marvel? Miss Marvel. Miss Marvel, sorry, thank you. That she's Carol Danvers, right? Yeah. And then this blonde lady, but then there was a black

Miss Marvel at some point, she was part of the West Coast Avengers. Well, there's, there's, no one ever seems to remember her. Well, there's been like, there's been like, different versions of like, a lot of superheroes, but they act like Miss Marble's been the same Miss Marble the whole time. Am I misremembering this as a cast in Marvel? Well, there's even like a Miss Marble right now that is, that is,

Kamal, is her name? Yeah, she's a little, I think, Kamala Khan. I think that's her in a shouting. And she's Miss Marble, because, because, so much that, I mean, that Miss Marble has never been anything,

but Carol Danvers the entire time. I looked up Miss Marvel. It was been a far-wreck, everyone's been doing something. I see Carol Danvers, Sharon Ventura, Carlos Saufan, Kamala Khan. Okay, very play. The person you corrected me is jerk, and he's moved back to California.

That's what I heard about that. Just wrong. So, I mean, people are upset about that trailer. Why did I upset about suicide squad? What is it that's making them sad? I think people don't like it's the whole thing people don't like Jared leto as Joker I saw a great there's never been a bad Joker. I saw a great gift set of Will Will Smith in an interview and they were talking about you know the weird gifts that Jared let all gave to people because that's been a thing people talk about. And it's Will talking about how he's like, yeah, I got a pig with it's like, you know, throat cut.

And that's what was given to me. And the interview was like, well, what did you, how did you respond? And the response was like, Texan, like, hey dude, this is just acting for me. And like, I was like, that's actually a really good response, because yes, that is stupid.

What is Jared Lettle? Like, I love the idea of people saying like, and I guess they're even, they're even criticizing Heath Ledger, but they're like, how has Mark Hamill played Joker for 20 years and hasn't gone crazy or, you know, done something dangerous or suicidal? And the answer is because he's acting. It's not, it's not like him, you know, and I'm like, yeah, that's true. Like, Jared Lotto doesn't need to do that to get into the character of Joker.

He doesn't need to be walking around New York City, testing laughs out on actual people to see which one gets the crazy reality. It's a good publicity, but it's also just a crazy fucking person. That being said, I'm excited about the movie. I want the movie to be very good. PG-13 seems like, uh, seems like an online series. Yeah. Well, because in the comic book, they kill everybody.

And they, like, and then the one that they're based on is the one I think they came out and then the DC New 52. There's literally a character that, instead of like the, instead of crock, there's this character called King Shark. And he's constantly biting people's heads off and ripping them in half. And it's just goring stuff. So I don't know. I guess they're going to really file it down to make it a PG-13. You think it'll do well? Box office? I hope so. I don't know, I guess they're gonna really file it down to make it a PG-13. You think it'll do well? Box office?

I hope so. I don't know, I think so, but it seems like everything box office is not doing that well this year. I made a prediction that this is when I thought that people could, if anything, could put an end to the superhero run of like successes, like the streak that they have going, this might be it. I think it will do regardless of whether or not it's good. It'll do great the first week. You know, like, you know, like, people, there's enough talk about it, enough hype.

It's been over hyped, actually. What do you mean the end of the streak? There's been bad superhero movies before me. Like poorly performing ones. What's the last poorly performing superhero movie? Green Lantern. That was a while ago. That was like 10 years ago.

The Ryan Reynolds one. Okay, but I'm saying that that's like, there's been bad ones. I'm talking about it's like the Marvel like like when was Green Lantern released well there hasn't any bad you not admit that we're on a hell of a streak with the they aren't hell of a successful I said I thought you meant like there hasn't been one yet oh no I mean I'm just tank girl fucking blade eight or whatever the how are the duck how are the duck dude people got so excited about him and Guardians of Galaxia could not be less why is anybody trying to make anything else with how the duck it's because it's like it's the inside joke

It's a joke. It's like oh, I know I remember that no Dylan it was 2011 not that long ago fantastic Fantastic I finally watched the new fantastic for on a flight to LA. I was like I'm finally gonna watch it It was recently and because I could spend I've heard it's bad, but I just I want to see it I Was on the flight and when I got to the point in the movie where they finally got their powers Not even an action sequence. They just finally get their powers. There's 50 minutes into the world really and I was like really

50 minutes in a superhero origin story movie and they don't even have their powers, much less done an action sequence. In the comic, what is it like, page three? That's it, that's yeah, they go up in the fucking ship and then they get hit with raise and become weird. We come down and have the whole thing with the crash ship and they're like, what?

And then let me help you. You're in Camelarm goes out and everything. So bad, that movie was just. I heard you also loved the killing joke. Killing joke was a piece of shit. Yeah, little fucking thing anybody Look at John just shitting a little bit of your podcast dreams. It was a bad movie if you like comics This is not the podcast for you apparently get out of here. What do you mean?

I don't know there've been good movies civil war was fantastic. Was there a bad Joker in killing joke killing joke was is 53% of rotten tomatoes It should be lower. It was a Joker bad. Hamel performed his lines well, okay? That's about the best I can say. People get really upset every time they cast a new Joker. There's never been a bad Joker. Like no one ever said that guy should not have played the Joker. And I think the same will come true with Jared let-off. I think people come out of suicide squad and they'll go actually I was been expecting to hate Jared let-o and he was one of the best things about the movie. I actually like Jared let-o. You're going with low expectations, right? You know, this me and the motorcycle. He's my motorcycle from Star Trek. That's what Jared let- best things about the movie. I actually like Jared Leto. You're going with low expectations, right? You know what, this me and the motorcycle. He's my motorcycle from Star Trek. That's what Jared Leto is, is the Joker.

I just never been a bad Joker. The character itself is so fucking goofy that if you've suspended the disbelief that this like murderous clown can be threatening and interesting, then you're gonna be okay with however anybody interprets that. Is there a Joker yet in the Gotham TV series? Isn't there a Joker?

I haven't seen it if there is. I don't know what it is. Isn't there all teenagers? Isn't there Joker? I don't I haven't seen it if there is I don't wonder if it's not there old teenagers the Gothamers. I don't watch that show stupid John hates everything. I hate everything try to feel about the flash showing up in the Justice League trailer with blue Stu for random like fine blue energy I like the Justice the show I'm actually someone who I will admit Batman be Superman was a bad movie. I enjoyed it still I think you I think sometimes you can enjoy bad movies and I and and so I I actually went and sought twice in theaters enjoyed even more the second time and so when the the Justice League trade and the one of them

Trailer came out. I got excited about both of them. I love What's the guy who plays the flash as her Miller? It seemed felt very similar though to me with Tony Stark and Peter Parker in Civil War which by the way, so you should go to Civil War just for Spider-Man, that's worth it. I think it's the best, you're not the best Spider-Man, but definitely the best Peter-Parker. You know, it's the best spidey I think that's ever been in the movie before. Agreed, yeah. No, I'm excited about Justice League, and I think Ezra's going to do a great job.

I think he's got a good attitude that he's gonna bring to it. Yeah. So there's not much trailers. Well, if I mentioned the podcastings, it changed over time. You don't realize when they changed on the internet. And look, when was the last time? If I said, hey, there's a suicide squad trailer out.

Where do you go to watch that? YouTube. When was the last time you went to Apple.com such trailers? It's right. But that would be- I remember I used to do that. Everybody did. You would always go to the Apple website to watch trailers.

And at some point, that just turned up. The traffic for Apple.com such trailers must have plummeted over the course of the last like five years. I would love to see a graph on that. They'll never release it. But yeah, that used to be the destination for trailers. Now nobody I know goes to Apple.com to watch yours. HCTP colon slash slash.

Double, double, double, double, double, double. Could you, you couldn't, um, and could you embed Apple.com trailers and anything? No. I think that was a big thing then. Because in, like, and like, I found a lot of film blogs and that's how you embed a trailer. Is that you can, that's probably it.

I'm actually really happy because they did something pretty shitty. I felt like very early on, which was they were a destination for people to go to watch trailers and they got the Phantom Menace trailer. Was a Phantom Menace or was it Clone Wars? It was Phantom Menace.

It was Phantom Menace. They got the Phantom Menace trailer. And in order to watch the Phantom Menace trailer, either at a certain resolution or at a certain time. In a certain resolution. You had to download QuickTime Pro and buy QuickTime Pro to watch it. Which is paying to watch a commercial basically for something else. I used to have... How many copies did you buy?

I paid for QuickTime Pro, dude. It was fucking Star Wars. There have been no Star Wars shit in like 20 years. I was gonna do anything I could to watch Star Wars stuff. I remember a time when I had internet that was so bad, but I wanted to watch trailers at their highest resolution that instead of like loading the trailer, I've been waiting for it to buff or something like that, on Apple trailers, you could download the trailer.

And that's how I watched it because I'd set up like, I think the first four years of Red versus Blue you just described. Yeah, well that's what I did with Red versus Blue, down in Red versus Blue. Yeah, I've CDs at home of Red versus Blue. I'm going to say this because I already bought my tickets. Maybe I should wait because you guys might want to go and tickets are still available.

Say it. Home start runner is having a 20th anniversary party in Atlanta. I saw that during Dragon Con and they're selling. I'm really excited about it. I'm going to go to that thing. You didn't invite me to go with you. Well, uh, I didn't. I did not. I thought we were friends, Bernie. I bought extra tickets and then, I didn't wait. I didn't know anything other's piled on and I was like, I would like to go as well.

I'm waiting. Jordan, Jordan Sweeves and I are very big home star runners-ins. So we bonded over that. He said it to me today. So it's actually not my thing, it's John's thing. I can't. Jordan's thing. What did I say, John?

I'm just gonna get John. So you said you'd be the one. It's a Star Wars thing. I'm too tough, so tired. I was so tired. I gave such a long day tomorrow and I'm so tired. We're shooting million dollars, so tired. I was so tired. I gave such a long day tomorrow, and I'm so tired. We're shooting million dollars, but tomorrow? Wait, how's that work?

I have such a long day tomorrow, and I'm tired. No, I'm tired today, and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, because tomorrow is going to be such a long day. So that's what I'm saying. It's all fun stuff, let's wrap this up then. Okay. That was easy. No, you fight?

He fights me. That's really weird. I do want to mention- I'm saving it for Christmas. People should send us podcast theme songs to podcast that christmas fight uh... maybe you can afford to find maybe not and that we might use your theme song uh... during the podcast
