Hello everyone, welcome to the receipt podcast. I'm Gus.
I'm Carrie and I'm Chris. No, I say and I'm blame.
And I'm Gus. Wow, I'm Chris no I say and I'm blame and I'm Gus I'm carry.
How else good up ahead? Go ahead and not Chris.
Believe it or not despite this state and this city's best efforts.
We're still here. We're still alive. Freeze be damned.
Boyle water notice be damned.
We can't even drink the water out of a fucking tap here in Austin.
Texas sucks.
For the fourth time in five years in Austin Tech,
one of them bigger cities, what is it?
Like number 10, number 11 population city.
One of the fastest growing.
Come on down.
Do you like electricity or water at any time?
You might have one.
Real talk like Austin kind of fucking sucks.
Like don't move here.
It's getting crowded, it's getting expensive.
Yeah, to say that.
No, like I wish.
I wish my property belly's going up.
I wish for a strategic relocate.
I love this company, I want to stay with this company.
I don't want to stay with the city.
I did, I think you mentioned it that
or the people who announced the boil ban or not the boiling the boy
You had to boy the no drinking water band that you
No water is good. I don't know what you're talking about
But you're like the good thing is everyone already has water because of the trees
It's like they were prepared already. Yeah, fuck you
Fuck you also. I'm gonna be honest, I was not prepared.
And the second I got that text, I went to the gas station and bought bottle water because
I was like, I want to, you know, drink.
I just finished drinking a cold glass of ice water when I got that text message that said,
hey, don't drink the water.
Oh, and not only that, but like, I'm sure that that water that they declared is too dirty
has been dirty for like three days. So when they did the press conference the other day, they're like, I'm sure that that water that they declared is too dirty has been dirty for like three days.
So when they did the press conference the other day, they're like, we first discovered
the turbidity problem Saturday morning.
It's like, you didn't send a fucking text out to 805 PM.
Like, we started our alarm started going off Saturday morning.
So Saturday night, they told everyone in Austin, you can't drink your tap water.
Saturday is my water day.
Well, the only day Kerry drinks water.
Water cheat day.
Exactly.
You will have it back end of day Tuesday.
Carrie has just brown red piss.
Yeah, I hear the deal is.
Yeah, I saw that.
And I was like messaging a bunch of people because I was like,
oh, people not have seen it.
I messaged our slack thing.
And then I went out drinking.
And then all memory of it went away. I was at a bar
and they're like, do you want bottle water or tap? I'm like, I don't care. Whatever taps
fine. And then I was like, what are told us? And then, and then the other thing too, I
was your hangover on Sunday. Was it miraculously better? Are we going to find out the
pair's actually good for us? Oh, that turbidity really helped them recover.
And then even like afterwards like I was like
hanging out water like you know,
went back and it's like drinking water from cups and like
and then at the end of the like when everyone was leaving and like
oh yeah, we had to be drinking out of bottled water.
Yeah, I wanted to do like a flex
because after so after last
Freeze and all that shit that went down I the last Oil water notice. Yeah, I stock the fuck up on everything water can foods like a ton of emergency supplies
And so like I have like gallons and gallons and gallons of water stored up because after every grocery store trip
I would just grab a gallon of water and just slowly stocked up. I didn't panic by or anything like that
So I'm good.
We're good.
And I wanted to take a picture and be like,
hi, I'm ready, but I was also like,
probably shouldn't announce this in case like
shake it through a little bad people be like,
let's go right up the lane.
Yeah.
We got blames water.
I definitely would.
I'm going to be honest.
Because you're still recovering.
From the bicep.
Yeah.
So it's like, if I come at you from that angle,
then I can, I can, I can say your gallons of water.
Yeah.
I want to know if you're a doom prepper now.
I wouldn't say, no, I don't think I am.
Because like, how many gallons of water do you have?
I do a lot.
12, 12.
Because I also have pets.
I got my girlfriend, I got pets to deal with.
I actually have less than what you need.
You apparently you need enough,
you need a gallon of water per person for seven days.
So that's 14 gallons plus factoring in animals.
So I don't have enough technically.
But you can boil water too.
Yeah, I just, it's for convenience.
It is, it is weird to be like opening up bottle of water
and then pouring it into a dog bowl and being like,
my dog only drinks bottled water.
It was very good.
As it was, I would only give Benjamin filtered water.
He never got tap water.
And he preferred it cold.
So I would always give him filtered cold water
out of the fridge.
It was his favorite time of the day was the morning
when I like dumped out the old water
and put the new water in.
He was like, oh, he was so excited for that.
Yes, I'm not even gonna give you shit for that,
but I do wanna know how you found that out.
Like how did you realize that like,
oh, he cares.
With him, it was like, since he was a shit-suit,
they'd get like gunk around their eyes and stuff.
If they have like, red stuff.
Yeah, like they have like minerals or stuff in the water.
So you need to like clean it.
I was like, oh, I'll start giving him
the purified filtered water.
And then, he's, yeah, better. Then like one day I like dropped a piece of ice and he ate it and I was like, oh, he probablyified filtered water. And then he's, oh, yeah, no.
It's better.
Then like one day I like dropped a piece of ice and he ate it.
And I was like, oh, he probably likes cold water.
And then I'm like,
putting two and two together.
I was cleaning this cup, this black box down mug.
It's very good.
It's not all.
Yes, Ristri store.
But then it was like dirty.
And I wanted to bring it on the podcast.
So I was like, I gotta clean it. So then I went to the it on the podcast. I was like, I got to clean it.
So then I went to the bathroom to clean it, which is like some handsop.
And then I was like, but is now is it dirty again?
Because I cleaned it with dirty water.
So then I dried it out and put hand sanitizer on it and rubbed it, gave it a hand sanitizer bath.
And then I wiped that and cleaned that up.
Now I assume it's clean now, but like,
can you drink?
Hand sanitizer? No.
No, I didn't drink the hand.
There's so many love.
Okay, you were at home.
No, this is just now.
Okay, okay, because you said you went to the bathroom
to clean the mug and that was my first problem.
Well, and you cleaned it with hand soap.
Uh huh. Well, there's clean it with hand soap. Uh-huh.
Well, there's no, there's no dish soap in the bathroom.
There's, yeah, but what about the other sink outside the bathroom with the dish soap?
What a stupid thing for me. I just, situations where it's like this will make a good
podcast story I shouldn't stop here oh this is weird let's see where it's
gonna go I'm gonna go hang out with these strippers and see how the night
is Chris I feel like is constantly seeking out dumb shit to do so that he's
like I like guys I I poison myself he did you want to talk about the thing that
he did right before we went live? Oh, with your ad reads?
Well, that was, okay, that was what I was thinking about.
So I was doing the ad before, I normally do the ad reads before everyone shows up, but I
was, I guess if I may real quick, Chris, we love you.
I know.
Okay, cool.
Here it does speak for me.
Okay.
Well, just worry about it being pretty merciless for the next like, finally.
So I'll do the ad reads before everyone gets here and normally it's just, you know,
I'm looking right into the camera over here.
And we are running a little bit late today.
And Carrie walked in.
And so I was doing the ad reads and stopped, you know, well behind the cameras by the door.
Wait, it was waiting for me to finish quietly.
Yeah.
Close the door.
Chris walks in.
Seize, I'm doing an ad read walks straight at me in front of the camera.
He doesn't block the lens. Luckily, he starts walking towards me, walks straight at me in front of the camera. He doesn't block the lens luckily.
He starts walking towards me, realizes I might be in front of a camera,
stops and it starts looking around, trying to see where the camera is.
And then just like stops moving.
Then I then I finished the read and like, Chris, I can't believe you did that.
I got one more ad to do.
I started doing the, the, the next ad read.
And he just like slams his back, pack down, it opens it up and it's like rustling through it.
And I'm like, that you settle.
That's an exaggeration.
I was doing that and then you started doing the ad read.
I was doing the read first.
You started doing the read and then you were opening the zipper
and I think you recognized he was making noise.
So then you slowed it down.
So then instead of it, it was.
Yeah.
And you were just staring at Gus like, still right next to the camera.
You did the very live action thing after that,
you just froze.
In this awkward mid-unzip, you just froze.
And it's like Gus, Gus flubbed and he was just like,
Chris, just, just, stop.
And it was like, Chris, can you settle?
He's like, all right, I'm leaving,
and he's just like right out the, like, fine.
I'm gonna go clean this mug. With hand sanitizer, so, I'm gonna see any. So there's another Chris thing I'm gonna, Chris, can you settle? He's like, all right, I'm leaving. And he just ran out the door. Fine, I'm gonna go clean this mug.
With hand sanitizer.
So there's another Chris thing I'm gonna talk about.
But so that is, I'm gonna use a term laced
with hand sanitizer.
Well, I got a paper towel, put some hand sanitizer
and wiped it, kind of gave a wipe through it.
It's like, you seasoned it.
Yeah, and then took another dry one and wiped it all up.
So it was like, okay.
It was a very light amount of hands on it.
Okay, now in like a life or death situation,
I think that's probably fine, right?
I mean, it could be life and death
with this no drinking in the water thing.
It's true.
When I was looking at the cast for today's podcast,
it was like, carrying Chris, it was like, that cast for today's podcast, I was like,
Chris was like, that's a fun cast.
And I started thinking like, oh, simple, walked in more to it.
And then I started, I think I told some of this with this.
So between me, guardianing for Barbara and then me getting the internship, I watched
a bunch of Rooster Teeth content.
Because I was already a fan, listen to podcasts, watch shorts of religiously, but I hadn't watched that yet
And I watched it
I think one of the first things I said to you when I met you Chris was like hey, I watched simple walk so good
It's really good and then I watch was like fucking
Okay, fucking idiot
It was so good though. It was like that is if you haven't watched Simple Locker or Rooster Teeth Content or do that's
fucking love.
Thanks y'all.
I mean I wish he said it to me.
They won but that's why.
Yeah, you were tucked away.
Yeah, hiding some place I could find you.
I was jailed.
The the the he was like I fucked up so bad with Chris.
There's no way I can talk to care.
Yeah.
The the fucked up thing that Chris did that I was actually talking about was not the ad read interruptions
It was right before when love carries like oh hey try to about the podcast. I was like yeah, go ahead and Chris said
Oh here. Let me take a video. I'll take a video
Then he starts like filming everyone. It was pretty funny like turned a blame
Like it kind of like a sour face Gus and I gave him like faces. It was like, haha
We're we're not ready for the podcast and And then Chris puts the phone down.
He's like, oh crap, I wasn't recording.
And like that.
So I guess you hit the record button.
So the only thing I recorded was you saying, oh crap,
I wasn't recording.
You played it back.
Do you still have it?
I have it.
Can you play in the mic?
Yeah.
It's actually, it's fine.
It's just fine.
It's the best thing ever.
So that's why Chris did not tweet a video promoting the podcast is because
all it was was Oh crap.
I wasn't recording.
I think you should tweet that now while we're doing this.
I think you should just
We're going to do a season two of
Sublock now that Amazon's bringing like if you if Amazon are to come to you and say, Hey, we want to sponsor or something. guys gonna do a season two of Simplock? Now that Amazon's bringing, like if Amazon
already come to you and say, hey, we want to sponsor
our set thing, you guys do a second one.
I'm gonna say no.
A simpler walk.
A simpler walk.
I would love a simpler walk.
Or a slightly more complicated walk.
I'm gonna say it's actual prep time this time.
Yeah.
Yeah, not just training whatsoever.
Flying the fuck out there.
Yeah.
And like walking more than 26 miles a one day before
you do it six days in a row
Something like that breaking your shoes beforehand. Oh god. Oh god. I ain't concerned
Yeah, you guys had like really bad blisters and shit. Oh, yeah, I had to do that road surgery. It's what I called it
We just popped the liquid out. Yeah, well, I had a
Shafing ball chafing real bad that my I that almost took me out
That took me out. Yeah.
Chafing ball chasing. That's not that's no joke.
I risked it all. It did new world that one time.
I think I told the story, but we were on Pirates of the Caribbean.
And my balls are shaving so bad because we it was like day two or three of team
parking. And I asked Brandon Farmingini for the talcum power.
I was in the back row and I was singing alone.
And I was like, don't look back here.
And I started.
Go look at my pants.
Yes.
Tell him that.
Now I also imagine that when you've gotten to that point you have been showered in six days.
Ooh.
Yeah.
So like with a second you undo your pants.
It's like you're struggling to stay awake.
It's just like a thick.
Maybe you like took a credit card.
You can just say great whatever was down there.
I was going to use the word me asthma but yeah.
I mean I think the credit card is
Shrema. Yeah, yeah, well, no, I'm not for me
Personally, I'm gonna post I'll post that clip. Thank you. I'll respond a quote tweet. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah
Thank you. I think just really just show your your
Your dedication There you go. We were talking about the new Lord of the Rings series and apparently there's returning
Cast members that are playing their same roles
From the the
Yeah, I have a different camera set that right that gladriel was coming back. Yeah, it was named cathode
Cape Blanchett Cape Blanchett, yeah, it's coming back. Okay, I imagine dude that played Redskill or the fuck his name is you go weaving
Yeah, you go weaving he would have to Elrond you mean
Redskill or the fuck his name is you go weaving you go. Weaving's he he would have to Elrond you mean
Hubbard I don't know I don't know what Elrond is the character that Hugo weaving played
Yeah, I don't know that's the same tall Elrond got yeah, what's it called rings of power?
Yeah, yeah
I'm excited. Oh, I am too. I need to like go through and do a rewatch of all of them. I still haven't watched it.
I do that every year or so.
It's a very good Christmas time-y thing to do.
You're usually off anyways.
See, who's kind of cast.
Trying to see who's cast.
Yeah.
I mean, we talked about it a lot.
Yeah, we talked about it way back when.
We're in a Christmas series. But, we talked about it. How can we do it way back when? a transfer series
But then it's just kind of it's kind of expensive. It's traveling itself. Yeah, yeah, that only worked because we were able to piggyback it off of a con that was already happening
I don't see too much in the cast
So it's bullshit. I think camera was lying to us. What a bitch. Or maybe it's secretive. Maybe it's secretive. Oh, maybe we were supposed to say that
Have you thought about that? We don't it's secretive. Oh, maybe we were supposed to say that. Have you thought about that before?
I'm thinking we don't have no inside information.
Yeah, yeah.
No, we're not.
We're not.
Cameron.
Cameron broke India to tell us that.
Like he got a gig on it.
And now he's blowing.
No fuck.
Trust me.
This is big.
Yeah, I don't know.
Um, I would do it again.
Be fun.
I lost 10 pounds. I could, I could go for that right now.
Yeah, from just that. Yeah, that's wild.
Yep. That's not just a mullable chasing. You taped off 10 pounds.
Yeah, I just shaved off. Yeah, it came from my thighs. Yeah, it was, it was,
it was like, you know, you've got an indentation. Yeah, you got a thigh gap.
I've got a thigh gap. I've got a, I've got a, um,
like, yeah, it's like the exact shape of your balls.
When you like in out of your thighs,
well, what were they thinking put in our balls?
So they, I'm sorry.
It's like, who's they aliens?
Aliens, God nature, whatever balls are, there's not a room for them.
Well, the, the problem is, if there's bad design inherently in all of it, it, whatever, balls, there's not a lot of room for them. Well, the problem is, there's bad design inherently in all of it.
It's like they need to be away from the core of the body,
because they can't get too hot or like the sperm dies.
That's why they have to be like, in testicles removed away from your core body.
That way they're a little cooler. It's like, why not just have it survive?
Yeah, like why make something that dies in by being inside the body?
I was having this exact conversation with my girlfriend,
where I was just like a woman's body is beautiful,
it's aerodynamic, it's like a beautiful like vehicle
or something and then a dude's just got all these
fucking dingy dingy's hanging out
and I'm so vulnerable, you hit in the balls,
like it's just so you're fine.
It's like someone modding a car, like just putting some aftermarket parts in, like, yeah, this doesn't go on this, I'm so vulnerable you get hit in the balls like it's like someone modding a car like putting some aftermarket parts in like
This doesn't go on this I'm fucking fucking feels like I don't know jam it on there
Body body is there how's your how's your bicep? I had my six week follow-up appointment and they were like very happy
I feel like they just give you a pat on the back seat feel good
But my my surgeon was very happy with my progress. I can start strength training
So we can arm wrestle
Fuck no, I would never in my life will I arm wrestle ever again? I don't want to do anything that you chicken
Yes, I am out if I challenge playing doing arm wrestling
But that mean I would win
It means it means we both win by not participating. No, no
I know well well know, because if he challenges you
and you decline, then you've lost.
Things like, I'm secure enough in my body and all that stuff
that I have, I have nothing to prove.
Oh, yeah, no.
It's just like, yeah, no problem with me winning.
Yeah, then, yeah, you even have no problem losing.
It's just like, if you win, I will let my arm go limp,
and I just don't want to put my arm at risk.
It's just like how France didn't lose in World War II
because they just refused to engage with Germany.
Well, you guys are trying to get it in a rise out of me.
It is the most traumatic thing that's happened to me
and has been the most life-changing,
like in a bad way experience.
So I just don't want to go for that.
Dad makes, hey man, let me suppose.
Speaking of getting a rise out of you,
has it affected, are you right-hand or left-handed?
I'm mixed-handed.
I'm like sports are all left-handed then like writing is right hand. What about other things?
You were good. Yeah, we're fine. All right. Good. I just want you to be all right
Yeah, my girlfriend did say once my hand gets better. I should celebrate
It would just be so wrong. Oh, and then speaking of weirdo Chris,
you set that in the office the other day,
and he's like, he's trying to picture it and he starts going.
He starts like making the like,
twisting motions with his hands trying to imagine it.
Everyone just stopped and looked at him and like,
how do you do it?
That's not how you do it. I was like, I was like,
but it's just an up and down.
No, that's not what you were doing.
I know, but I was thinking is like,
it's an issue that you can't binge your wrist. No, that's not what you're doing. I know, but I was thinking it's like, it's too much.
You can't binge a wrist right now,
is the issue that you can't,
like, what is it?
I was imagining what would hurt now.
Yeah.
Yeah, repetitive motion.
Yeah.
I mean, no, I talked to him this morning,
and I was like, I literally, I went in
to you.
I went in with a list of questions
and just like, things that I could do. Can I throw a baseball? Can I shoot ho in with a list of questions and just like things that I could do can I throw a baseball
Can I shoot hoops with a basketball can I do bench press can I squat and he was just yes. No. No. Yes. Yes
But he said no explosive movements. So I think me going
Well, there's on how I guess how explosive the finish is. I mean yeah, I don't know are you putting that big of a flourish at the end
When you see you well, there's an ex there's some sort of explosive movement. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think just any like I asked him like the speed of motion
in which and he's just a no explosive. See you didn't do can I
You didn't do that. Can I
you know
Okay, well, I guess we'll have to revisit that
But I can I ask you weekly is that okay?
If I masturbated with my broken heart, no, no, not if if you can oh I
Could probably give it a go tonight, but okay, I just like I don't know
It's just it would all it already felt weird before because everyone's tried with the other hand
Yeah, I mean like I mentioned was I switched hands at one point in my life. Really?
Yeah, I'll switch hands every once in a while,
but like, no, I can't do that.
That's crazy.
Going back to like what you'd be like getting,
I don't know, like going back in high school
or something or someone who doesn't have,
hasn't done it before, you know?
And they're not like, they don't have the muscle memory.
Like you'd be like jerking off with a virgin hand.
Okay, I don't want to put your 10,000 hours in.
I already tore my bicep.
I don't want like a sprained cock on top of this, you know?
Yeah, just like sprained cock.
I was like the embarrassment of like, you go back to the doctor.
You fucking up like in your like, sorry.
Doctor, it happened.
Yeah, it's like explosive movements.
You get back in that bench again?
No.

The penis is impressive in the ability to grow and train.
You're a grower.
Not a shower.
Well, just like even just the design of it, if being like, but what if it like could get bigger?
And then like, that's impressive.
Like, it's, and it can, I watched the new Jackass.
Hashtag's even.
Hashtag's a little bit.
There's so much chicken balls.
There's a lot of chicken balls.
They do, and they're good.
Oh, good bit older, chicken balls now.
Yep, right, yeah.
Hangin' low.
They got some new chicken balls though. Okay, yeah. Yeah. We're hanging low. They got some new dick and balls though.
Okay. Yeah.
They do one thing where it involves squishing a penis between two flat surfaces.
And I was impressed by how much of like how flat it could squish.
Yeah.
Like how much of like a pancake.
And I was like, that it is amazing what it can do.
Like the weird, like the fact that it can be squished like that. Yeah, they and they were like
unharmed by it they had like so there's like this two pieces of
Clear plastic with screws and they were just tightening the screws slowly smushing in it
It looked like a medieval torture device, but they looked they were like, yeah, it's not that bad. They were fine
They were like you know, I guess once you get over the shock,
and they was so, I don't even think they were shocked because they were doing it so slowly.
It wasn't like a smash. It was a, they were just squishing it.
Like a device or something.
Yeah, but because it's made to like, it's already spongy.
Yeah.
So it just squished down.
Do they have to be careful, like, not get aroused?
That could be dangerous.
Your blood flow, yeah.
Yeah, that would be the danger.
Something, the device, something's gonna pop.
Yeah, you don't want that.
Blood vessel or something.
Yeah, yeah, I'd be worried about that.
Yeah, that seems like something
that you do is like, fuck, run, just like,
start showing porn to each other.
It's like, you don't get aroused.
But yeah, I mean, that's my catch phrase.
I still wanna do my video idea that I had forever ago
and it's gonna be get made by somebody
and I hope it's me, but I wanted to do a video
where it's like 12 dudes in a room.
Okay.
And you give one of them Viagra and the game
is trying to figure out which one took the Viagra.
Okay, you recover that took the biagram. Okay.
That you, you, you recovered that at the end there.
It's just like you put 12 dudes in a room, all boxers only.
You secretly give one of the biagram and then they got a figure.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Okay, we're short, we're short.
Yeah.
What would he's got?
Yeah.
Everybody's holding a little extra.
Yeah.
Would there be like,
would they have to like watch porn or something?
No, no, they would just,
No, nothing crude like that.
You just, you just put them in a room
and then one guy probably pops them under
and then everyone's just gotta like,
everyone just,
Would there be a tire requirements?
Yeah, you, I think you would wear like
great sweatsuits.
Okay, yeah, great sweatsuits.
Yeah, that's the meme.
I don't, like I don't want it to be like pornographic or anything weird like that
I think it's just funny and then especially watching the one dude sweat who has it and he's like what would they even know it would be like
You know, I placebo
Oh, yeah, it's interesting
You could explore that in multiple episodes like it's like like we gave it to Chris
But there's like we actually think everyone took a Chris is just break up right now
We gave it to Chris, but there's like, we actually think everyone took a Chris. Chris is just, Chris is just bricked up right now.
Because he shouldn't.
Well, everyone takes a pill, but one only one of them is Fagra.
So everyone's like, did I get it?
Yeah, they don't know.
Because then that, that, then everyone's thinking about it.
Because that's the one thing I learned in middle school is if you try not to think
about getting a boner, you're going to get one.
That's the one thing you learned in middle school.
And if you're, if you're watching this and you're going through that time in your life,
the best advice I can give is to flex your thighs and your legs
because then the blood flowed spurs is.
Oh, I never heard that.
That's good.
That's good advice.
Yeah.
Man, if you're listening to this right now and you're at time age,
you already got to one up on me because I didn't know that.
Yeah, the one thing you knew was not that.
Yeah.
Well, you just don't think about it.
Yeah, just keep it back pack handy.
Yeah.
I was also thinking back like...
Ty sweater anyways.
When I was like, interning and I told you about
the simple walking stuff, it was just like,
that was like, completely, we all look different.
Like I had like a half to full inch more of hairline,
just like, no, I had a different time. It's been a
while. 17 years. Look at the mirrors bad for that stuff.
So this is an interesting, potentially interesting segue to
something we were talking about before the podcast started.
Carrie had a great question for all of us. It was something I'd
never considered until you brought it up. I doubt I'm the first person to think about this.
Well, you're the first person to bring it up to me.
Yeah. I've never heard it before.
Is it the death thing?
Wait, it's boiling.
I'm so vaguen broad.
Here, do you guys say what?
Go for it.
I set you up.
Here's the question I asked.
Look, bodies, right?
OK.
Here's.
We're all going to die. I don't want to get. We got bad water. Look, bodies, right? Okay. Cares.
We're all going to die.
I don't want to get, we're going to, we got bad water.
Stuff's happening.
We're all going to die.
When we get buried, I'm trying to get the best way to say, why is it this way and not
this way?
Why is it laying down and not standing up?
Yeah.
Why?
Horizontal and not vertical.
Why this way and not this way?
It's way easier to, I think traditionally.
Right. When the space was less of an issue.
Right.
It's so much easier to dig a hole that way.
You know, like digging a hole straight down
is really hard.
Yeah, cause then there's the issue of like,
you gotta put the dirt somewhere, get it out,
and then you also have to climb out.
And then there's gonna be extra space
that you have to dig downwards
that the head's not poking up,
like some fucked up plan.
Which should be funny though.
It would be.
I also, I feel like if you actually got buried alive,
like you'd have a way better chance
of this of like,
yeah, yeah, moving like this.
Yeah, you could just mime it up.
But it might also,
you, so you would have to,
you know, we kind of touched on this,
you would have to dig deeper. Because since, if you would have to, you know, we kind of touched on this, you would have to dig deeper.
Because since, right, if you're laying horizontal, you go, you go like six feet down.
But if you're going vertical, you have to have six feet down from the top of the head. 12 feet. Yeah.
So if someone's six feet tall, you dig a hole, that's 12 feet.
What would, would I get a discount?
Because I'm five, seven on a good day.
They probably just, I would imagine you would just have like one
of those machines that digs like with a corkscrew style. Or just like, uh, just cores a hole. This
is just a cylinder. Yeah. Modern day makes sense. Modern day. It's no problem. You just like
core down 12 feet. They already have machines that dig the graves anyway. And you save space.
My because you and Eric says you wouldn would worry about it discount because you did.
You since you don't have to have as much horizontal space, you could cram a lot more people.
Yeah, my response to why we probably don't do that is because I feel like it's because rest is, you know, you associate
laying down sleeping that laying post as a there like someone to rest versus then like well he's still at it it's like standing up yeah but yeah if you're gonna if you're like laying out
a new graveyard and you're like how could we fit what are huge
wastes of space they really are yeah I don't I don't I don't sound too cold
but it's like yeah just just just just burn me up well that's not even cold
that's hot but then there's the whole question of how that contributes to like, you know, the
climates of like, well, I think it can't be any worse than like bearing in balming fluid.
Well, right.
No, I am not a proponent of that either.
I think that you should just dump the bike somewhere.
That's, and that's my, I don't care what you do with my body.
Take what you need from me.
Take whatever you want for science or for organ donors or you know take it.
Hey, do I hear a joke?
Yeah.
Hey, it takes real guts to be an organ donor.
That's a good one.
And then after that you can do whatever you want.
You can burn me or if you want to put me in a great, if you worried about the environment
put me in a great but don't buy it just the environment, put me in a grave, but don't buy it,
just like, take, drive out somewhere,
find it, find a spot on Mark Grave.
Have we ever talked about the concept
of an organic grave?
Like put me in the ground,
but don't put me with boha blast or whatever they do.
Don't put me in a casket,
just let me, let me fertilize.
Well, someone made a good point.
They were saying that if you were to put a vertical grave,
apparently you would cause a bigger sinkhole.
I guess as you'd decompose, I guess it would cause more of them.
They might just have to go and then plot,
you know, at top some dead off.
Top some top soil.
And that's not bad.
What if we can account for that with like a capsule or some kind of like concrete.
It has to be an organic capsule.
Concrete tomb.
No, what's the fucking point then?
It's very little concrete.
It's way better than what we do now.
Well, I would say then also part of the reason there's a sinkhole is because there's air in the coffin.
And the like if you didn't have a coffin coffin if it was just the body standing up straight
You'd feel a more dirt. Can you imagine all that good good air that's down there?
Just wait and wish yeah sucked in I feel like we barely have water. We're gonna waste air
I don't know what's yeah, you know, yeah, so that's a new industry want to breathe some 1800s air some 1700s air
What'd it be worse or better to just launch a fucking body into space?
I I was thinking about that I didn't bring it up because we had to start the podcast which you know
I guess is important whenever
What can we just I want to go to Mars. I'm not gonna go to Mars
My buy could go tomorrow if you're talking about like
Environmental impacts then it's like how much fuel are you burning to get your body out of that
atmosphere? This is the future though. You know, it's a burial itself. Yeah, if it sees the space.
Well, yeah, I'm going to fertilize Mars with my body. That's what I want to do.
I think there's no like microbes there to break you down. So it's like full of microbes. You would
be like a preserved, they would die, right? from being on the Martian atmosphere. You would be like a preserved dried, mummified body on the surface of Mars for eternity.
Which would be cool. That sounds pretty metal. Yeah. I
document shows up and you're like,
because what you could do if they if they say you were already at space or something, if they just shot you off in the direction of Mars,
You would hit it. Maybe. Well, no, because it's also if you you get caught in a gravitational pull. Well, and also Mars is is you know
Going around the sun to make it so if they timed it right if they shot you off and assumed that you weren't gonna hit anything
If NASA spent millions of dollars in calculations. Yeah, and there would be, I think they did that already with moon landing.
Were there like, you know, we need to overshoot and project harder to with a body that's
like going, they just kind of get.
And you're suggesting just a loose, rag-solving body.
Because then you wouldn't have to use any much fuel if you just kind of, because nothing's
going to stop it.
Just a big like slingshot.
Yeah, I can not watch it.
Like everyone, he, ho!
And then, and then like, and then eventually,
if it was, you know, calculated correctly, you'd hit worse.
The gravity, well then you just even
be end up floating around Mars.
You don't even need to, right?
Like in a lot of sci-fi shows,
like, you know, the expanse or star Trek or shit like that
They just like put the body in a capsule and like the airlock and then just open up the airlock is a
You're out. Right. That's it done at that point
Just put them in the septic tank because you're wasting all of those things that you were pumping into that person
And then now it's just floating in space. Yeah, I do see that being a little
It's like someone passes away and you're like all right, you know floating in space. Yeah, but I do see that being a little,
it's like someone passes away and you're like,
all right, you know, recipes.
And then like, dumping them into the toilet.
That's actually not to think about it on series.
They say they take them to the mushroom farm
when someone dies.
Like, oh yeah, take them to the mushroom farm.
Like, they're gonna make them fertilizer.
That's what you see now, that'd be cool.
Yeah.
Then it's like, like you said,
you're getting something back from the body that you've pumped all those nutrients. Yeah, absolutely. That's what you see now that'd be cool. Yeah, then it's like you like you say you're getting something back from the body that you pumped all those nutrients
Yeah, absolutely. That's what you should be doing. I saw video of somebody
They put their family fish in the toilet because it had died and the second they flush the fish came back to life
Oh god, so anyways, which brings me to which brings me to carry you once or
when you're bringing that up which brings me to.
Is it irrational to want to be buried in your casket with the necessary tools to escape if in case you were?
Yes, that's irrational.
Yeah, especially in this day and age.
I have some.
I have a phone call.
What about just a.
Uh, a button that like, you know, one of those, um, you're not, it's not like
they take your pristine body, put it in a box and bury you, they cut you open, remove
all your organs, yeah, stuff you full of fluid.
Like, no, but I'm saying, but I'm saying, don't do all that for me.
Put me in an unmarked grave.
Put you in a grave.
Why do you want, you keep talking about unmarked graves, Chris?
Do we need to have an intervention? No, I'm saying, I'm saying, because I don want you keep talking about unmarked Graves Chris do we need to have
an intervention? No, I'm
saying I'm saying because I
don't want to bring up. I don't
breathe. I'm saying if any of
y'all which you won't be
uh or in charge of my you
know last year. You request.
I don't want people to be
like well we got to buy a
funeral plot and whether it's
vertical or horizontal that can
be expensive. It'll be
vertical. Um and I'm like don't bother with that. Find, just drive out, find a spot that looks
empty. Dig a vertical grave. Sure. That's what I'll put me in. Leave me. Then there's,
you don't have to worry about like just get cremated, but we're talking about the effects
on the environment. I was all about cremation too, before Blaine brought up the negative environmental effects
of that.
It's like death stranding, right?
Like they talk about it when you destroy one of the bodies,
all the pollutants it creates.
That's why I remember in death stranding,
they had to have the crematoriums far away.
Did you wear plate-dust stranding?
It's like the first mission.
You have to take the body and then it's like,
that's what someone's the BT's.
I have to play.
Anybody?
I'll go back, because I went to Kojima productions, or whatever's called like out in Tokyo and they gave us like a tour and I got like a goody bag filled with awesome shit
And I met the producer on the on the game and I never played it. I bought it just to support them
But I know it's a fun game. Is it it's been my list? Huh?
It's on my list for like when I'm just like they just released the
Director's Cutter is that what the director's cut yeah I think they
gave it some name like that anyways still like being
kajima's friend is basically signing out for just him
taking really weird selfies with you a lot you know he's
like he's like friends with I think who do you post picture
of today's Nicholas one yeah yeah the director Twitter
feeds all some yeah it's just like he was cool here's
this cassette from the 1980s.
I started watching a Netflix show
because of Kajima.
Really?
Like he tweeted about all of us are dead,
which is on Netflix.
And I was like, oh, I hadn't heard of that yet.
Now, the way I looked, it was like,
it's like a zombie show.
It's a Korean TV show that's like a zombie outbreak
in a high school.
So it's like all the high school students trying
to survive a zombie apocalypse.
It's like, oh, I hadn't heard about it.
Like I've read about it and could you just feel
it's like, I'm gonna watch that.
I'm at capacity with zombie stuff.
I feel like the last really good one,
I think was also a Korean film.
It was the one where they were locked
in the apartments and it was the guy like,
oh, hashtag alive.
Yeah, that was a good one.
And then last train to Busan.
Train to Busan.
Yeah, that's funny because in this one in, uh, you know,
a lot of times and we've talked about this at Nazim.
Uh, lots of times in zombie movies, they're like in
universe in the movie, they don't know what zombies are.
They're like, the dead are coming back to like, they don't have a word for it.
Shout out to the dead, they like don't say it.
Yeah.
And all of us are dead.
Like one of the characters said, this is just like train to pusson.
Oh.
These are zombies.
But still all the other characters
like, what are you talking about?
That's so funny.
It's like, oh my god.
So in the universe of this show,
they've all seen this movie.
They know that zombies are a thing,
but everyone's still like, I don't know.
What's happening?
I was wondering if that was like a legal thing,
if like if zombies are copy-ridden somehow or something. I was wondering if that was like a legal thing. If like if zombies are copy, written somehow or something.
Well, the guy that invented them
was a terrible businessman.
And that's why the first zombie movie is public domain
and you can basically watch it.
Romero.
Yeah, Romero like did the least business savvy filmmaker
like a yeah.
But he got his movies made so he's yeah no
no fucking rock with no I'm saying getting a movie made it all takes a lot of
financial gumption yeah just like don't take it work don't of the dead fucking
rocks the original oh the new one stood good to it's sex-niter yeah good but
yeah I mean but they were walking dead before that they just want called
zombies probably you know like I would I would argue that he invented the modern I think so too
Yeah, like you're the died of the living dead come out like 61 or 9
I mean you get to a barra
68
Thanks, I was gonna say 69 nice. Yeah, there's there's a band in the 60 called zombies like a British band
That was before all this they were just like oh, yeah, we've heard, you know, tales of
the walking dead.
Do you use that word?
Penta, the name?
It's not interesting.
I just...
No, no.
Tribia.
But that's like, he didn't, that's what I was saying.
He didn't invent the zombie.
Right.
Just the, what we conceive of, what we think of the zombies.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This episode of the RST Podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp Online Therapy.
We've talked about BetterHelp on this show before and this month we're discussing some
of the stigmas around mental health.
We've been taught that mental health, especially talking about it, isn't really part of
normal life, but that's not the way that it should be.
We take care of our bodies by going to the gym and to the doctor's appointments and by
focusing on things like nutrition, we should also be focusing on our minds just as much.
So if you're struggling with anything at all,
I know better help can help you.
Better help is customized online therapy
that offers a video, phone, even live chat sessions
with a therapist, so you don't have to see anyone
on camera if you don't want to.
It's much more affordable than in-person therapy.
You can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours.
So give it a try and see where over two million people
have used better help online therapy.
This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp and Ristid podcast listeners get 10% off their first

Yeah.
I make a G-Man RTX in me.
I watched and play a Switch for the first time.
Yeah.
That's a really cool experience.
That was fun.
Guys, play one, two, switch, and we're like, one, yeah, that was I think we probably played together.
He did like the revolver, awesome. Yeah, I remember just like
sneaking off to the, because I think it was like the, the,
like not hour VIP lounge, but like the like badge holder VIP lounge
had to switch with breath. Well, it's head inside just like snuck in there.
I was just like playing with breath of the wilds I could.
No one talked to me, no one bothered me.
Yeah, just like, and I was like, hey, no, we can talk.
That's fine.
I'm gonna play.
Yeah, I'm not looking at you.
Yeah, I'm here though.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I love to go back to Australia.
I just read that they're opening up the borders for vaccinated international travelers February 21st.
I don't know if I'm gonna say this,
but I think there was an opportunity for me
and some others to go out there and fuck a pandemic.
Oh, that was right before COVID was the thing.
Dude, and we were gonna go to fucking Japan.
Oh my God, carry.
I'm so buttered about that, dude.
I still need to spend money for my ticket back
for my second time.
No, spoiler alert.
It's been ages.
You never checked on?
No, the second, the set, like like there was one less than a year ago now
That was trying as well. Oh, I wasn't aware of that. No, I think you were but yeah this
Did we try replanting in this? Yes, it's felt real. Oh, wow. Yeah, it's I think I'm blocking this memory
Yeah, yeah, I'm yeah, I really want to go to Pam. I mean, too. You I would also like to see you on a vacation
Leading up before COVID, you know, I was so excited about super Nintendo world opening and I was like after the Tokyo Olympics
You know late summer early fall 2020. I'm gonna go check it out
No, it's been manners. It looks like the size of a mall too
Which is kind of a bummer that the oh it looks small. Yeah, it looks very tiny.
The footprint is not big.
But I mean, you're in fucking landlocked,
or not landlocked, they're not landlocked.
But Tokyo is just a lot of business and shit.
That's in Osaka though.
Is it?
Yeah, because it's at Universal Studios,
which is down in Osaka.
I think you may have just seen pictures of a mall
that was Mario themed.
You can do it too.
All right, I wanna go.
Yeah, it's same. I feel like my first Halloween costume that I remember
was Mario.
I thought of you like that little kid in the cartoon,
like dressing up like you striking me
as such a weirder that you would for Luigi.
That you'd be like, hey, I don't wanna be Mario.
I wanna dress up as Luigi.
My next story was literally that my nephew,
my sister Simmy Bunch of Pictures, because on his birthday, he I want to dress up as Luigi. My next story was literally that my nephew, my sister,
Simmy, bunch of pictures because on his birthday,
he went the entire day dressed as Luigi.
Yeah, I used to be my boy, I don't even talk about it.
Luigi fucking rocks.
I just want to be tall.
And, you know, that there was been, but there was.
There was back then though, there was less distinction
between Mario and the Luigi.
Yeah, it was just like slightly different color.
They didn't have like different personalities.
Green Mario.
Well, I guess other than the cartoon.
But yeah, I- Oh, in the movie. Oh, yeah. I don't think I had come green Mario. Well, I guess other than the cartoon, but yeah, I oh in the movie
Oh, yeah, I don't think I had come out yet, but and I had a tape recorder that had recorded the sound of Mario
So like inside run around going like the music. Yeah
There was that was like one of the
I remember cosplayers were doing that the first time I saw a cosplayer who had a boom box on them playing the theme music
I was like that's fucking brilliant. Oh, what a great time and then every person after that is like fucking
Fucking shit off
We have rules that like it's like the first time we see a dude like you know
Cruising down Congress or something. He's got a stereo on his backpack. First thing we see it
It's a great little experience. You're like, ah, that's cool.
And then every time I add to that, you're like, this experience is ruined. And I hate that person.
They're drawing attention to themselves. And I'm annoyed.
We, um, I, I'm into mentioning this earlier, when we were talking about like power outages and
having to boil water and all that shit, we, you know, if everything shut down in Austin
last week, because of the ice storm. So we had to do our stream, normally we do a stream on Thursday, we had to
do it remotely from home and for like a bunch of reasons, I ended up having a
host of stream which I normally don't have to do. So we're playing like jackbox
games and as we were streaming, like one of my monitors, I have two PC setup, the
monitor on my stream PC kept
like cutting out. It would turn off and turn back on. When it did, it would make the USB
disconnected and reconnected sound to Windows. It was streaming that. I had to apologize
to chat. I was like, I don't know what's going on. My monitor is going out. It's turning
off, turning on. It's messed up. Sorry that I'm sending the sound. It's not your computer.
Then after the stream was over,
I went to my living room and asked you, I was like, how was your stream?
Was everything okay?
I was like, yeah, why?
The power went out like eight times while you were
doing your stream.
Did you not notice?
I was like, oh, that's why my monitor kept turning off.
I didn't realize that's what it was.
Because everything is on battery backup,
except for that one monitor.
Like even my internet's on battery backup, everything,
except that one monitor was plugged into the not battery protected outlet.
So I guess I have a misunderstanding how internet works because I assume that there was a power
component to internet. Well, I have that on battery backup too.
Right, but like still, I feel like does whatever that internet connection is connected to,
wouldn't that somewhere down the road also we connected the power and I mean if the
If the power went out citywide everywhere probably yeah, it only went out in like a localized area
Okay, so he's because is so I have fiber internet so there is a
Device that converts your fiber to ethernet on on premises. Yeah, and that has a
Spot for a battery in it lots Lots of times they don't have
the battery in there though. It has a spot for battery in it. Yes. But when they
just put a battery back up on it. No. I spent money for a new one. Like if you take this
cover off, you can put like a battery in there. And in fact, when they did my install,
I had an old battery laying that was laying around. They're like, oh, you don't need this. We
take this away for you. It's like, no, no, no, no, leave that in there. I want that. You know,
so you paid for that. Yeah, you can have that on its own little you. It's like no, no, no, no, no, leave that in there. I want I want that You know, so you hate for that. Yeah, you can you can have that on its own little battery
It doesn't last terribly long and then like my router and my Wi-Fi and everything else is on a separate like battery backup system when I was
Last freeze the last thing I did before I lost power was
Podcasting with Armando Torres over at Funhouse for one of his podcasts
I think Cult podcast.
And I remember the power went out and it blew back on and then went back out and I was like, apologizing.
I was like, sorry guys, I'll upload the files later.
Shouldn't be long.
I'll be back on.
And then like 30 minutes go by.
And there goes by two hours go by.
And I was like, guys, I don't think I'm going to power back.
And I started having flashbacks because I was, I was streaming or doing something
with some friends this time around.
And then I was just like,
I'm sure what's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.
But we got by pretty...
I didn't hear about any big power eyes.
No, it was like all localized stuff.
Yeah, like three-brack.
It's great, Greg Abbott, he did it, guys.
He saved us.
I love the walking back they did on all the messaging leading up to the store.
Like before the storm, like in October, November, they're like,
guaranteed the power's not going out.
They're like the day before, November, they're like, guaranteed the powers not going out. They're like the day before the storm.
They're like, listen, nobody can guarantee the power.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's like totally, and then as soon as they got through
and everything was fine, they're like, we told you,
the grids more reliable than ever.
Power's not going to go out to you, motherfucker.
I won't end it.
There is, there is, there is an entity that can guarantee.
Or they did guarantee, I guess I should say
Oh yeah, I know it turned out fine.
Little bit snow whatever
Yeah, it was a no water though.
I felt like I felt like the whole city was on edge.
Like everyone was panic buying.
Yeah, I can't speak to the state.
I can speak to what I saw in Austin.
Like people were like making runs on grocery stores,
hoarding water.
Even a couple of days after I went in like,
like I was like, where's the lunch me?
Oh, it's just all gone.
Yeah, all of the lunch me it's gone.
The whole thing's empty.
I haven't even gone back to the grocery story yet
because I'm sure it's still like pretty picked over,
especially now with the water thing going on.
But I stuck the fuck up and it was like,
days well before everybody started panning by
and I went to a place that was not HB
because everyone immediately rushes to HB.
For good reason, HB is a great grocery store,
but like I got by unscathed.
Yeah, I saw like the local news interviewing,
like outside the local HB, one of the HBs in Austin,
you know, the day, the night before storm,
because like on Wednesday night,
it started raining before the free ice.
And they were interviewing like someone at the store and he's like, yep, I made a bet with a friend of mine about how long it would take me to go to
HB
I won the bet only took me three and a half hours to buy what I needed to check out. Oh my god
You were there for three and a half hours. No one in that situation. Yeah
If I mention this I think I mentioned this before we started recording so I didn't stop me
I had saved up a bunch of water for because of the freeze, I filled up a bunch of containers and buckets and stuff.
Yeah, I was like, well, if the water cuts out again, I'm going to have a bunch of these containers filled with good water.
Saturday afternoon, I'm like, made it through the freeze, dumping all this.
I don't need all these random containers of water on my counter anymore.
And then like three or four hours later, don't drink the water. And I was like, God, oh my God.
Oh my God. Oh my good water. You're watching his swirl on the string. No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, I was on Saturday night when they announced that boil water notice. I hadn't seen Ghostbuster
Santa after life. And I was available to rent finally
I was like oh, I'm gonna rent it and watch it now watching the movie then like halfway through I see you know
Chris sends a slack I'm like I'll read that later
You sent in I like put it down and then like you go get a fresh glass of water
Just shut it down. Oh yeah, cuz I was in the middle of the movie and everything
They're like two minutes later. I get like the automated text from the city of Austin
That's like don't drink the water. Boy, I was like, oh, fuck
No, then I was that I had already posited open the slacker like up. That's what that's what crystal sending did not take my own advice drink the water all night
I was
talking to my therapist and I was like how do we proper and who's out of curiosity because like obviously we went through a very traumatic experience with that freeze last year
But like I don't know if it qualifies as PTSD and it seems kind of weird for me to say it and that same category is like a dude who was like
In fucking war so we're just like kind of just like talking about that because we really have about anything else to talk about
But just like the idea of like trauma and that shared experience that we all went through yeah
I mean, I mean, there's people different experiences with it,
but I do feel like there's like a on edge fear of like, oh, well,
I don't want to like not have food or not be able to like, not have heat.
Where I'm like shaking like shaking in my bed under a blanket.
Like for like five days.
Yeah.
My, uh, the night that it was like raining we were getting fucking pissed on by like cold freezing rain
And I wasn't sleeping very well because I kept getting up to like go check if this is dripping and then look outside
And it was my electricity still on like I was just like I did it. Oh fuck last year was the it left the mark
Yeah, for sure
I mean we I think we all didn't realize how big of a market left until
This last week when it's like,
it all we thought it was going to happen again. Yeah, I pissed me off though because like in the
Austin subreddit and stuff like that and on Facebook, like, I didn't do anything like panicky.
Like, I stacked up on more stuff than usual, but it wasn't a thing where I was like ripping toilet
paper out of a grandma's hands. I just felt prepared and now with your current state,
you can do that with your arm.
You fuck you.
But then people on the Texas subred and the Austin subred were like, oh, you know, they're
looking at the panic buying bubble, like acting like so tough and like everyone's freaking
out and I'm out of like northern states made fun of us.
It's like, it's just a couple days of cold.
It's like, yeah, no, we get that.
It's just like, it doesn't. It's like, yeah. No, we get that.
It's just like, it doesn't.
It's not the cold.
It's the infrastructure that there's no snow piles.
There's no ice.
There's no salt.
The weirdest thing, and I think the key difference here
that it's difficult to understand if you don't live here
is since it's so warm most of the time,
we can have this experience like we had last week where
you get a soaking rain and it's not freezing yet.
It'll rain a couple, like I think the night before the freezer rain like two or
three inches in some parts around here. And then it immediately starts freezing.
So like all of that water hit and it's not that it snows.
It's that everything then freezes and all that water that just hit then
turns into ice. Like I still had ice and we got about freezing.
When do we get about ice and it's more?
Yeah, I still had ice in my yard last night.
Yeah, same.
It's fucking crazy that it can go from warm to then really cold so quickly.
Like normally, like in a northern state, it's already cold.
Yeah.
Or it stays cold.
It wasn't.
It was 70 the day before.
Right.
And then on top of that, they also have the infrastructure to deal with it.
Like pipes are very deeper.
They have plows and.
It's all solved.
And cars and tires and here
they tried to salt and you know sand the roads but then because it rained two to three inches right
before it froze it all gets washed off. Yeah, it's but yeah, it's I mean it goes about and like we
talked this death on the podcast too where it's like anytime we post oh it's like a cold day in
Austin inevitably some fucking asshole from Minnesota is gonna be like, I will, it's 17 here or whatever.
And it's so frustrating.
It's just because we're not acclimated.
We're Texas is already new to us.
But it's like in San Francisco when their electricity goes out and they don't have AC and
they're having a whole like a heat wave or something like we're not like,
fuck you, it's hundreds of degrees in Austin every day.
No, I do that.
Yeah, no, no.
I search for like hashtag hot hashtag dying. You got him saved I do that. Yeah, no, no, no. I search for like hashtag hot, hashtag dying.
You got to have saved on your phone.
Yeah, no, I'll look.
You've got to like, hashtag hot, sexy people.
Yeah, I definitely get a lot of what I'm not looking for.
But, you know, no, I give it, I give it right back.
No, I'm just like, kind of like,
go back to what you're saying before of like, you know,
feeling weird about like, yeah,
what level something like PTSD or something like that.
I mean, it's like, trauma's real.
You know, and everybody's gonna have different levels of it.
Just because it's not as bad as somebody else
as it doesn't mean it doesn't matter.
It doesn't mean it's not invalid.
Yeah, exactly.
My neighbor who I totally brought out with the last time,
I had just gotten back, I went to a bakery
to go get a loaf of bread
because I was gonna make like a big thing a soup. I mean my girlfriend was very
excited. And like we caught each other's eyes from across the alleyway. And at
the exact same time we were like, are you ready?
There was like a level of excitement, but also like not this.
I feel very guilty because my experience was not that bad. Yeah.
Last year. So I was just like, You piece of shit. I know.
So I'm like, I was like worried
and I stuck with them stuff, but I'm also like,
I didn't go through the same thing
because a lot of people did.
Mine wasn't that bad either, but that's why I get extra worried.
Like, oh, now I'm due.
Right.
But last time it was their turn,
this time it's my turn.
Yeah.
There's like some places in Austin like,
that's still like because of all the rain
Something that were like flooded and shit
The housing market in Austin like what you have to choose from for places to live in Austin is just so fucked right now
Yeah, I sent that listing to you guys. I was essentially someone's shed in their backyard
350 score feet. Yeah, the thought 1200 dollars or something 1200 a month
Deposit of one month month rent and first month rent prepaid.
Yeah, it was just like an insane ask.
Like it's just insane and awesome.
You can't, you can't.
That's like what, four bodies?
Basically, we're talking about it right here.
See, if everyone could live vertically.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What we really need to, you should really like get a bed where you can strap yourself
to the wall and like cross your forehead like ask you cross your chest
Yeah, I miss like sleep me so much. Well, yeah, no you get a Murphy bed, but then you put it back
Boy lay on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hell yeah, or like water beds
But like and I don't mean water beds and what you the old way
I'm talking about like a back to tank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like a vertical back that like you get
Let me go the water because then you're like in your float it your you're not you don't have gravity pressing down on your
On your your bones. Yeah, but then you got to think of the impact it has like you say in a pool for 45 minutes your skin is just like
So like coming out of the lotion in the water. I don't know
Why just in like just dip in lotion.
Oh, yeah, like a lotion back to that.
You got great for your skin, like an old.
Some sort of gooey goo that you get into.
Chris is going to stay up in some goo all that long.
And you know, the matrix.
So it'll like kind of suspend you, but also, you know, maybe like moisturize.
Yeah.
You just you're just a new bile baby for the rest of your life.
Yeah, I mean, you don't even have that.
If you did that, I bet we'd all look way better.
I like that Chris just crosses his arms like,
yeah, really, I'm on the something.
I'm all, I figured it.
Well, when you were talking about how,
oh, that was like 10 years ago,
a simple walking motor, we look like babies.
We wouldn't have to, we'd been in a back to tank of goo.
I'm just, it's the truth.
There's, there's no, there's no denying it.
Yeah.
Do you think that there's going to be something coming out except for those, except for those back to tank deniers?
That's, that's true.
Do you think there'll be something that like is revolutionized a very
traditional thing that we've been dealing with?
Like, okay, guess the best example I have is like a squatty potty.
Change the pooping game for a lot of people, I don't fucking care.
There's another thing that's gonna come out like that.
It's for a specific fundamental.
We think we've got covered.
You're right, but it's like, oh, we need to scratch the surface.
Specific to pooping?
No, just like in life.
That was wrong with you.
Hey, we'll think about everything else you can think about.
I think I feel like there's some, like, like, kind of like, how a memory foam happened.
I feel like there's another sleep privilege.
My sci-fi one.
Let me tell you about a purple mattress bling.
It's got the grid.
Man, I was so frustrated.
Everyone in this company has gotten a fucking purple mattress at some point.
I'm just high and dry.
I ain't got any.
You hear that? You hear that? Blaine needs a and dry. I ain't got no one here that blame.
Blaine needs a place to I've got a coupon code for you.
Yeah, I get up with desks help the ass.
They gave me a third desk.
What they're not sponsoring this podcast.
Don't talk about them.
They're pretty good.
Let's talk later.
I think that this is my sci-fi my pitch.
Okay. Is if we could figure out how to do, like, be conscious in our sleep.
Like, let our bodies rest, but still do things with our minds.
Yeah.
That's, but I would say this, a lot of win-win sleeping, our, that is our mind for your brain.
Processing, the reason, yeah.
If you ever, for number one, that's all I'm hearing.
It, the, if you've ever gone along period of time
without sleeping, never.
And then, then try and remember that period of time.
You're like, I don't really remember,
I have like flashes of it,
because your brain doesn't like, process.
I'm just trying to see you sleep in a week, Chris.
I mean, every night.
But what do you mean?
Are you sleep right now?
Oh, I see.
That was a subtle, subtle, big.
But you know what?
Can't say I get one by you, Chris.
Make that big vertical.
Because I just saw a gif of that on Reddit where it was like
some type of scan.
I don't know what it was of like what your brain does when you're sleeping and it's like releasing like
Like liquid basically to clean out your brain. I just like so again
We got to get past that if you have fluid. Yeah, we got a spinal fluid. They go into spine
What's it do in all my brain? They got to have something for like that because
Like oh, who's that talking about?
I was talking about Michael about this, about, um, pdlite for like, you, you know, if you're
drunk or hung over something, you drink pdlite and you feel a lot better really quick.
Watch out for me.
And then, yeah.
And then like, they're like, oh, yeah, well in Vegas and stuff.
And in, in some, anywhere, basically, you know, you, you, people can hire people to come
give them an IV in the morning.
So they immediately don't, they get rid of their hangover,
which is like, who would have thought that,
I mean, there's a cure.
It's like it's a stain though, right?
Like, oh no, no, it does, because it really,
what is a hangover, but like your body being depleted
of water and like needing nutrients?
It's just fucking IVs.
But that's like, yep, yepy, like crazy.
You're not gonna,
we bring it to the home.
Yeah, the people who coming to do that, in Vegas, they had like stations set not gonna bring it to the home. Yeah, the people who are coming to do that.
In Vegas, they have like stations set up.
I think some people will start doing that.
I mean, again, if you have the money
recovering from COVID,
they'll get like, like, vitamin C or like IVs,
just to like, right now.
And I could see that when you have like, yeah.
When you're legitimately,
but there's places in Austin,
like, my ex used to go all the time
and like they, they'll just fucking hook you up
Give you a vitamin pump
But we need that for like brain. Yeah, there's a there's a I mean this is James Bond science
So it's like not real but I think it was like tomorrow never dies or something
It's the one where he has the
He was parasailing on a sinking iceberg and there's all those waves
Anyways, the bad guy in that does not sleep. He does like these like micro now.
Dine another day.
Dine another day.
I think he's Dine another day.
Yeah, and Dine another day.
Dine another day.
Dine another day five.
Dine another day five.
Anyways, the bad guy in that does not sleep.
And I thought that was an interesting concept, but yeah.
That and like I feel like sex.
There's gonna be something that augments sex
in your spinal cord or something.
I got some websites to show you.
You want augments. Well, spinal cord or something. I got some websites to show you. You want augments?
Yeah, like he's looking for like hot days and stuff.
What's this what's this to loan movie where he goes in the future?
The three shows demolition man demolition man.
Yeah, I got covered all the movie.
Yeah, anyway, they they'd like have like VR sex and that.
So I think we'll have that.
I figured out poop thing.
Okay.
I think God Chris tells more.
It's gonna be a suction cup tube thing that...
Like the astronauts?
Yeah, like astronauts.
It'll be like, you'll suck it up and it'll go,
boom, it'll suck it all up.
And not only will it get whatever you have to go,
it'll make sure everything's clear
because it's gonna, it'll just do it all at once
because you'll have suction. You know, do you know, you need some kind of a day combined.
Do you, do you know what I'm doing?
Sure, but, but you need sure that I just, I fixed a lot of your problem.
No, no, but like, I agree, but I'm saying like as far as like speed and efficiency and
like, you're not waiting for your body to like, Chris, the, wait, so you're talking about it
like, are you from the concept of prolapsing?
I don't want to.
Yeah, I was going to say this sounds very dangerous. I don't want to dangerous. Yeah, let's not talk. I hadn't thought about prolapsing
I mean like like you maybe a mesh at the top. No way
Like I like yours there's some kinks to yeah, there's some kinks for sure

It's only six episodes. They're all about a half hour long, more or less. Okay.
Any watch that been ordered? Actually, yes. Okay. Okay. There is like an over-arking
story between all of them. Okay. It's not like crazy, you know, complicated or
anything, but there is like a little connective tissue.
If you don't know, the basic premise is that
will our net plays a homicide detective in a city,
and then every episode, he gets a new
trainee detective, and it's like a different guest star.
And the trainee or the guest star has to improv.
Like they have no idea what the script is.
Whoa.
It's very nice. It's script. Everyone else has the script, except for the script is. Whoa. It's very narrow script.
And then else has the script, except for the guest star.
That's such a good.
Fonding.
Great.
Yeah.
And it's like, so it's like they have no idea what's going on.
And it's at the end of the episode, the guest star has to figure out who was the murderer in their episode.
That's such a good idea.
It's so in a shot like cinematically imagining, right?
I mean, to an extent, you could, it's pretty low fire time,
especially when they're doing like in on a set, like in like their
police station or whatever, just because I get, I assume they have to get
like multi camera, a lot of coverage.
Yeah, I'm getting their set it for like, yeah, yeah, multi cam.
So they can capture like everything or have stuff to cut away to.
Right. Yeah.
Uh, so some of that stuff gets like a little, uh, looks, looks a little cheap. Yeah, but I think the concept is so strong that like you you quickly forget about that stuff
It's just really funny. And then like do they say character. Well, sometimes
Or like break in general. It depends on the guests. Yeah, but sometimes yeah
And then like they have different bits that they'll do all the time
But one of the bits that they bring back a lot is they're like for the the guest talk here, put this year piece in, go in there, talk to these
people, and you have to say everything I tell you exactly how I say it.
Well, it's almost like prank show too.
Yeah.
That's to get that.
It's an amazing concept.
It's so good.
That pokes a whole or a marketing thing.
I think it's Daniel Radcliffe is supposed to be doing a movie where he doesn't, nothing
is scripted or he doesn't have a script or something and like they're like it's
gonna be an artistic revolution so I'm glad that they cut them off at the knees
with this. It's on fucking rad. Yeah, like the the over-arching story is that
like Will Arnett's old partner was murdered 15 years ago and he's trying to
figure out who did it so it's like there's like little bits and pieces of that
throughout the series.
That sounds very good.
It's kind of like that old movie with a,
how I was like the man who knew to,
to, oh yeah.
And it was, who was in that?
Was that Don Notz in it?
No, it was, there was,
has Don Notz ever been mentioned on this podcast before?
Yes.
Wow.
Anyway, it's like a guy signs up for like some sort of like basically like a escape room type thing where you're like, oh, you're a spy.
And they're going to, you know, it's a touristy thing where they're all they're all, you know, going through the thing.
But somehow while he signs up for it, but then ends up accidentally intercepting an actual spy thing.
But he thinks it's all just part of the bit.
So he's going along with it and doing this, okay, yeah, I'll go to,
and he's like, it's got a gun and like,
doing all these crazy spythings,
because he just like, his, the beginning of the tour group,
just like, Alfred Malena's in it.
Yeah, passed away, at some point.
It was like, it was really fun concept, but that sounds funner.
Yeah, it's fun. I think the guests are, it's, at some point, there's like, it really fun concept, but that sounds funner.
Yeah, it's, it's fun.
I think the guests are, it's Conan O'Brien.
Um, who's in the second?
I don't remember the second.
It's Conan O'Brien, Camille Nanjiani.
Oh, Marciani Lynch, uh, Sharon Stone, Ken Jong, and Amy Murphy.
Is that her name?
Yeah, I think Amy Murphy.
Ken Jong, who bravely walked off the set of
Mask's Singer with Rudy Giuliani. I can't believe they had Rudy Giuliani. That was real.
Yes, that's all a fucking marketing scheme. Everyone's talking about it like us and they're gonna go watch it. No, I'm not
No, no, I'm not. I mean I'll watch some YouTubers
You know pulling it immediately,
because I don't wanna fucking support that.
Stupid.
Have you ever been keeping up with the meta on Twitch lately?
I'm just watching TV shows
and just waiting to see how much in trouble they get.
Oh, wait.
I've been watching, God, this,
this is my connection to Zoomers.
If you're out there, I'm here, I'm listening.
My entertainment for the past several weeks has been watching a Twitch streamer watch MasterChef. Interesting. And they just
just, they just work in. It's just happening. So like do they show the show or do they show
themselves? No, show chats up to and they just talk about it and they'll pause and they'll
talk about it. Chat talks about it, but they're just re-broadcasting it.
Is it okay? Are they cracking down on that like in a big way?
Like, they, the particular streamer I was watching, they did, they should like a DMCA and then they
undid it. I mean, it's not that much different than video commentary on stuff. Like, it's not,
and like there are some of them that are making like an attempt to stop and talk about
Yeah, versus just like broadcasting the show. Yeah, if you're stopping and like oh here's what I think and then that's that's what a lot of like there's
YouTube. Yeah
What do you call this video? You know like video essays video essays a little more edited than that. Yeah, I mean there definitely
One streamer just started watching Avatar
the Last Airbender and got clapped in a day
because Viacom is, you know, Viacom.
It doesn't seem like that would hold up.
It seems like the DMCA would stick.
Yeah.
I can't believe that they undid it.
I add on, I don't know.
My favorite example of that,
and this is like ages ago, and it's done to death now,
but someone I think streamed
like a UFC fight, and then they had a controller
and they were acting like they were playing.
I thought that was fucking brilliant.
That makes me think I saw, there's like an old
spice commercial on TV right now that's supposed to be like,
like a character in a football game.
Like you talk about old spice or whatever,
but it's like watching that commercial,
like this commercial looks so much worse
than what actual football video games really do look like.
It's a funny disconnect that they like
try to emulate a video game for this commercial,
but it looks like a shitty version.
Could just come to us and do a shame off.
Of the video games.
Yeah.
We had that.
There's so many examples of that where it's like,
you see a bad video game or a bad movie,
and you're like, this looks like the fake video game and a commercial or in the background of a movie
Like Pokemon RCS
We should probably talk about that. I think it looks like dog shit, but I heard it. Please
I'm waiting with beta breath. I mean you're all playing. I have one Pokemon legends colon RCS, right?
I'm not
I'm not yet, but I I
Want to I don't get a Pokemon in my column till 45.
Jesus.
I heard it's very good.
I heard it like not if you sign up for my system.
Yeah, you're pooping a box.
It's very good.
No, right.
Fuck it out.
Do you think that this is the new way that they'll be doing Pokemon games?
I know.
I think I would love it if this became
Like its own thing and then they keep releasing like like new
Yeah, or yeah, we're just I mean just keep going in this region. It's it's a lot of fun. It
Every said it looks like it looks like Chris's invention about toilets
Well, that's not supposed to look like it's arseCS Pokemon legends colon the there's a colon somewhere I see yeah, okay RCS got it. It's I'm very important
It looks bad
And I'm still having fun. I'm still playing it. So it's like whatever my my biggest issue is that it's it
And every say this to death and it's whatever
Breath of the wild looks amazing. Yeah.
It was a Switch-Lunch title that also worked on the Wii U.
And obviously the Pokemon company makes these games,
not Nintendo.
That's the Wild one, Wii U?
Yep.
Yeah, because initially it was gonna be a Wii U title
and then they launched day one on the Wii U and the Switch,
every just played on the Switch, really.
Fucking wild.
Yeah, so Breath and the Switch. Ever just played on the Switch really. Fucking wild. Yeah. So breathable.
Breathable.
I just, you know, as a person who has been fortunate enough to, you know, make media in their lives
and is also dealt with budgets, it's just so frustrating that the Pokemon Company has
so much money. And they couldn't make their game look at least as good as the 2017 Wii U game.
Yeah.
They just sounds bad to say out loud.
Yeah.
You know, and they said it was meme level.
Yeah.
I mean, like, you like, it's just you see people bitching about it nonstop.
It's just like a recurring joke like a kind of shared joke.
Compared to like a blivian in like,
in like, it runs like water graphics, liquid.
And like, like for the most part, I'm just playing the game. I'm just having fun. Like, it's not like I'm justian in like, it runs like water graphics liquid. And like, like for the most part, I'm just playing the game.
I'm just having fun.
Like, it's not like I'm just constantly just like, I'm around.
But then you'll see what should be like a really cool thing is in the distance, a
Geardos flying above a lake.
Mm-hmm.
Anything.
Oh, shit.
I'm gonna catch that.
That's gonna be amazing.
I'm gonna run over there.
I'm gonna throw a Pokeball without even doing a battle.
It's gonna be awesome.
But the loading distance has made the the Geardo's is playing back at five frames a second.
And it just it just takes the magic away. Yeah, you know, socks man. Um, it's fun. It's
really fun. It's I think it's a great place if you've never played Pokemon before. I've
only played one. It was like X. Yeah. Why was a 3DS one?
That was it, right? Oh, because that was in the the midst of the big DS 3DS thing.
Yeah. So we're all like street passing and shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. X X R 3DS.
I thought X was very good. X Y's when I dropped off. I didn't beat that one.
That's fun. Yeah. That's fun. It is. It is a very different game.
They've made they've they've backseated battling to catching.
Cool.
Which is very fun.
I, I'm going, I got an analog pocket, which is like a...
Oh, mother fuck.
No, no, no, no, no, no, let's be clear.
I'm waitlisted till 2023.
Oh, me too, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're on the same boat, so.
But I was gonna fucking, I don't care about your 12 gallons of water.
I'm going to your fucking house and take the pocket if you have. I'm, so I'm waitlisted, but in the of water I'm going to your fucking house and I'll talk it if you I'm so I'm waitlisted
But in the meantime, I'm trying to get all of the Game Boy like I want to get fire red and or leaf green
Emerald, you know all those they're so fucking hard to track down and analogs whole thing is like preserving game history
So they're anti-piracy, but I think I'm probably not to get a
Have like these cartridges that are for I'm tempted to buy an analog pocket
Do money bay right now. Don't fucking do it. Just from a scalper just despite
Don't support that so if you're listening in your scalper go fuck yourself for clarity
I think the analog pocket costs $300
Like to
Somewhere in there how much I'm actually saying thousand bucks right now
somewhere in there. How much are you saying? I'm actually saying thousand bucks right now.
If anybody doesn't know an analog pocket is an emulation machine
where you actually use the cartridges, to be, I think you can just have
emulators on it too. I'm gonna get a cartridge that has
emulators on it. They, they, you, you fucking technologies amazing now.
You can buy a Game Boy Advance cartridge that has the entire
Game Boy Advance library on it. I think it's called the ever
I have it pulled up on my phone and you of course wouldn't do that
No, I'm absolutely doing that because I can't find these fucking games. Yeah, and they're all $200 and they need Well, allegedly you would do that ever drive ever drive. Yeah, allegedly you would do it
Are you trying to help me cover my base?
Trying you're not I know I wouldn't I'm thinking about it
So I would never though. I want to buy the original
I definitely don't have like a custom raspberry pie game boy that I I am really games on that I sure yeah definitely
No, Eric says preserving game history with ROMs. Yeah
Yeah, listen, it's hard like Nintendo apparently did not print out many of
Emerald so fucking hard I give that whole generation

That's the thing
It's like I hate having things and physical stuff and just like oh just this is just stuff. I have to carry around now
Yeah, like you got to put this in your house somewhere. Yeah
So I don't really like trying
Collect
Stuff what is what do you think is your most prized possession?
My most there's a right okay
We're what we're what say There's a right, okay.
We are what?
We'll say there's a right answer to this.
It's your dog.
If you didn't say dog, what is your most prized
capitalistic book recession?
Not that's not alive.
Yeah.
Or to be clear with Chris was never alive.
Well, okay.
Well then, if you guys own stuff, that's fine.
Yeah, go for it
Most price I know what you're just I mean no yeah any action figures or toys retro stuff Well, it probably be a bunch of
Like stuff I had from like middle school or high school or stuff that's like old
Like an original green day album of dukey
Well, no more stuff I made with my friends.
No, I'm not sure about that shit.
What do you have that I would want them?
That you would like a collector's item.
Not sentimental value for you.
Yeah.
Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
I do have a bunch of Pokemon cards that I think might be worth.
Yeah.
The garbage.
Yeah.
PC10.
First edition of the stuff.
And, huh? Did you get them graded? PSA10? No? I haven't had him grade it. Are they still like fucking backed up?
I think this places. Yeah, apparently they just have like cardboard boxes stacked filled with Pokemon
I don't know how if any I just need I need to like I'll grade him for you really sure
Yeah, you got it really for it
That's legally binding
Yeah, I got certified.
Now I don't believe you.
Yeah.
She didn't sit on her podcast.
We just went to Proficix with them.
We're glad I went through.
I was, if you can get rid of them,
I'll get rid of them for you.
No problem, Chris.
There's a, I have a binder because I,
there's one RTX where I started setting up Pokemon trades
with like community members and I bring my deck and they'd bring theirs and got a bunch of good stuff
But like I have a full binder of all of the originals plus their variations like the Japanese reaction stuff. I'm very proud of that
It's pretty cool. What the hell was that? It's some kind of... It's Chris. Oh, that was me. Yeah, that was my...
I was resting my hand on the wood back here. Sorry, I thought something was behind the set moving over.
Oh, it's for me out too. I thought Kool-Aid man was about the set moving over. Oh, freaking out too.
I thought Coolade man is about to pop.
Yeah, I thought Eric was gonna come out too.
I thought Eric was back in the room.
I would say when you hear noises in the walls,
you normally think it's rats, but.
Or Eric, can I just to confirm?
Can I guess what yours is?
What is it?
It's your, your, your washer.
It's my world of warcraft server easily.
That's pretty cool.
I've got like some weird like old things.
I have like an original Xbox signed by Bill Gates.
It was on the podcast set forever.
Like I had a bunch of stuff on the podcast set
or like in the broadcast area before we move
into this temporary space that like when we were moving
out of there, it's like I need to take some of this stuff
home.
Just like, just to work clear, this stuff is mine.
And I'm taking it just so that it doesn't get damage
or hurt while we wait to go over to a permanent space.
Yeah, like it'll come back, but I just want to be clear.
This stuff is mine.
Because like I look around as like a lot of old stuff,
like in the makeup room over there,
there was like that old like diner art of like the glasses
of beer.
Like I bought that years ago. It was like from a company
that used to supply diner art for diners in the 60s, the 50s in the 60s. Like there's weird stuff
that you don't think about. That's like on the walls, there's various places around here. It's like
that's actually mine. I paid for that. Yeah. So my thing, we kind of like moved our spaces around.
Like I was like, I'm gonna take all my stuff home and it's like, that's mine.
This is mine.
There's something about coming back in office
like slowly, but surely.
On the cron's kind of like pump the brakes on it just a bit.
We're still in office a lot.
Where like when we were like salvaging a desk space
and like putting together stuff,
there was like this level of like hunter gathering
where we were like going in offices
and like, well, I do need this monitor
and here's some HDMI cables.
It's like it felt like like crafting
in Breath of the Wild or something.
Collecting these resources.
And every tech person in this company was just like,
God damn it.
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, damn it.
Yeah, it's so weird walking through office space
and it's just like, it's empty,
but it's coming back.
No, it's not empty because there's ghosts
at every computer.
Because a lot of people are working remotely,
so there'll be computers that are just moving around
and doing-
The computers aren't moving.
They're being controlled remotely,
and it's fucking trippy.
And like, was I standing next to you earlier today?
And we're- It was Andrew Roses. Andrew Roses, and we're sitting there, And it's fucking trippy and like who was I standing next to you earlier today and
Where it was Andrew Roses Andrew Roses, and he we're sitting there and he's like
What how the fuck is a computer movie who he moving that computer? It's me. I'm doing it in my mind and he's like no, it's like really is like no, that's Neil. He's editing. Yeah, but that's his computer
It's just remote, you know
That technology's been a while and I was freaked me out because I won't say who, but
that software is installed on my computer so that someone could like get on to like a
render or whatever.
And I remember at one point I was like working and then it activated and I took my hands
off as my scrawler.
My mouse just went, ooo, it started doing stuff and I was like, they can see everything
I'm doing right now.
This is really weird.
I'm trying to get it close to the Pornhut tab.
I'm fighting right now. This is really weird. I get it's like close to Porthood tabs. It's real quick.
I'm fighting their mouse.
For a while, when the broadcast department
was really small down at Ralph Albinado,
yeah, we had a computer setup
that I could remote into from the set
if I needed to trigger things,
or if I needed to call up graphics,
it was in the other room, in the control room,
for my laptop, I was like, all right,
I can remote into that, like load up a graphic
or like, you know, get something ready to show
since we didn't have the technology to do it.
Yeah.
In the other way.
Or the people to do it.
Or the people, yeah.
It was in the air player, whatever you were cast
or whatever it was around.
Remember I would do that for a camera sometimes.
Like I would air play my phone
that I turned the camera on on my phone
and it would just show whatever was like
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like a cheap way to have to add an extra camera
I would have to go back and visit there, but it's just it's nothing, you know, yeah, whatever that is or was before
It's just amazing. Yeah, I tried that one time at my old house
Visit your old place. Yeah, and he sexes. I was like it hadn't been back
And you know, I went to go visit like Old House.
And it's like out in the country.
And there's like kind of like had to like
I can't with you, man.
With a lay.
And you know, it was like going, I was with someone.
And I was like, yeah.
I was like, oh look, this is, I used to rope swinging down here.
And then, and then someone came out like down the road because it's long
Yeah, and they're like yelling at me and I couldn't hear him and then they hold out a gun. Yeah, and then I was like
I was like that escalated I mean because well I wasn't doing anything. I wasn't like your trespassing Chris. Yeah
Yes, but very
Not doing it in the middle of the day as if I was like
Did you like a wife like you're like I was just like hey?
I you've never had any like got like gone this but we're had gone to an old place where you live
Like hey, I used to leave here, you know, you know, no, I have it. I get it. I think that yes
You have you've done this they did it for the the documentary. Yeah, but not on my own.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Like, I would never do it on my own.
And not in the middle of East Texas.
Yeah, sorry, Kerry.
Yeah, that was always the same.
It's not in the middle of East Texas.
That's where I'm like,
or maybe I call a head.
I just can't really call a head.
No, you still got the landline there.
Yeah.
That's how things sound.
That works, yeah.
Did you ever have a-
Is it rotary phone? Yeah. Did you ever have one of Is it rotary phone? Yeah, sure have one of those.
My grandma a great grandmother did
We had a rotary phone. I don't I had well. I don't know if you remember this
When touch-tone phones first came out gone fucking old when touch-tone phones first came out
If you had a touch-tone phone you had to pay extra to be able to use the touch-tone on it
What yeah, like if you didn't pay the extra touch tone fee,
and like let's say you hit five on your touch tone,
it would like click like a rotary sound for five.
So instead of being like,
B for five would be like, t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t to pay the touch tone fee in order to be able to use a touch tone phone on the network. It was such nickel and dime bullshit.
We had a natural in my house in Rockwell.
That house must have built in like, built in the 20s or something, but it had like the
pulling it off and holding it up to your ear like the separate things.
Oh my.
Yeah, and I remember like being like six or something, you'd be like, what is that?
Like, was it like a family heirloom?
No it was just in the house.
You're not that old.
And that's what he has most price positions.
Yeah.
No, I was actually just thinking about that.
I mean I have a bunch of action figures.
I guess my Pokemon games and like maybe my Jeep, it's so fucking old and I love it so much
and it's not like a common Jeep either.
It's got square headlights on it. Yeah, I asked y'all I don't know what mine is
It's probably it surprises me. I feel like you have like a lot of cool shit
I
You know what I miss though about that is like that whole and I say I miss is then there's nostalgia to it
It is awful, but the shared line where you could like pick it up and it'd be like it could could go for anyone. You never know who it was going to be. Or it's like,
you wait. Someone else on the one, someone listening to me, like,
is my little brother trying to listen to my conversation. Yeah.
Yeah. Now it's just the fucking NSA doing it. Yeah. I know.
I can't tell. Yeah. Uh, but like just that's that.
Clutch man. I'm telling you. Of that was like so chaotic and fun.
You know, where it's like, you pick up the line. You're like I'm trying to find sounds like hey
In the new way it's like in it's like someone else picks up the phone. Hello. It's like yeah
We've heard oh I got this I got this yeah, I'm breaking my girlfriend like
Yeah, I just remember like there's a time where I was like playing with my little brother and the phone rang and
My he was just like really young at that point and
The answer is for like my mom or dad or something. He's like
And he's like hey my brother
He just said this and he starts telling the story about the game that me and my brother were playing and
Then and he he was on the phone for like several minutes before my mom was like what are you doing?
We don't know if I'm talking to there. It's for for you. And then, but he was just telling this random stranger
about the stuff that we like.
I one time accidentally, there was a shared family computer.
Obviously, we didn't have our unusual PCs
and stuff at the time.
And I got on and I thought my AOL and semester
was logged in.
So I was just like going through and then there's somebody
that I didn't recognize and I was like,
hey, who is this, you know, whatever started talking to him.
I was logged in as my sister and it was her crutch.
And she found out she wanted to fucking kill me. Oh my gosh.
It was you slide in there for her though.
