And I'm MianDis too.
Except I'm a little hot sauce and talking.
I'm not MianDis.
No, you're not MianDis.
We're all MianDis.
Do they make pregnancy MianDis?
Do they?
I don't think I've seen that.
They be us Undis.
I'm pregnant.
We Undis.
What?
We Undis.
We Undis.
That would be better.
That's a dual purpose, because you're going to be Undis. We undies. What? We undies. What? We undies. We undies.
That would be better.
That's a dual purpose,
because you're gonna pee on it.
That's how collaboration works.
Back and forth.
I assume they'd have to be reinforced
for the baby drippage.
Go ahead, if someone's talking about baby drippage.
To babies leak, while they're in the oven,
they don't leak.
They'll be really leaking baby
would probably be a problem.
No, I get that plugged up.
We've learned a lot so early in the podcast.
Have we ever had a pregnant woman on the podcast before?
Me.
Were you pregnant on the podcast?
Oh, okay.
I think.
Oh, I like pregnant.
Right, right.
That's right.
That's right.
What am I thinking?
And we might.
Yeah, Lindsay was, no, that was right after.
When I did the amazing race, we went through Columbia, as part of it.
And so I had Zika on my radar way before anybody else
that I knew because it was a problem there.
And we got bit by a couple mosquitoes
while we were in South America.
And so then started learning about the Zika thing.
And I remember I actually contacted some of the people
who were in the amazing race.
They said, hey, look,
you can sometimes you don't know when you're pregnant
or not, I know it was pregnant while doing the amazing race, but you might have been.
So if anybody's pregnant now, just be aware of this thing. Did you take a test? No, no,
no. I mean, I think I would have shown symptoms for Zika by now. What is the symptom of Zika?
I've been at pregnancy test. Yeah. The most recent season of the reason.
I think a test. No, yeah, it wasn't pregnant. The most recent season of amazing race just
wrapped up. Was it last week? Season 30. Such a good season. No, yeah, it wasn't right. The most recent season of Amazing Race just wrapped up. Was it last week?
Season 30?
Such a good season.
Oh, yeah, but the fuck, no.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The winter sucks.
I mean, not sucks, but they were not who I was rooting for.
Yeah, I was, because they suck.
I was, I was not rooting for them either.
Yeah.
I was, I was rooting for, for other, another team.
I don't know, I mean, is possible.
Does anybody, could you possibly spoil the 30 of season
of Amazing Race?
Like, if someone waiting to watch it all, do you think?
It's been out for a week now.
It's possible.
It's possible somebody's waiting to binge watch it all.
But it's out.
You're the fan of that show or, you know, you're not.
It's like, we're not picking up a whole lot of new viewers
for Red vs. Blue at this point.
It's like, you know, no one's gonna start an episode
one of season one.
I found it.
I found it.
I found it.

I found it. I found it. Well, they have that all access now, right? I'm sure it's on there, but you got to Yeah, you see just cable provider info and all that, right?
You watching that discovery?
Discovery?
I watch the first discovery.
Two episodes.
Yeah, Star Trek show.
Yeah, then I stopped.
It's only on digital, only on CBS all access.
Yeah, I didn't watch a bit of it.
First time I was so fine.
I think CBS, I think I bought CBS all access
when I was on the amazing race so we could watch the episode digitally. And I think I just CBS all access when I was on the amazing race
so we could watch the episode digitally.
And I think I just kinda kept it this whole time.
It was one of the things that's like,
it's free.
Yeah, I'm like every three months,
they're hitting me for the old Republic MMO too.
That's what, I mean, as well, not the old Republic too.
But every now and then, I gotta go through my credit cards
and just strip out all of my subscriptions.
I do that.
Yeah, I did that.
That's when I realized I'd been paying 10 bucks a month
for a game attack I hadn't signed into in three years.
That's how I get you.
That's how I get you.
The internet subscription.
Yeah, I signed up for the free trial of all access
when discovery came out, so I watched the first two episodes.
And I was like, okay, is this something I want to pay for?
And I looked through the catalog of shows available.
I was like, there's nothing here for me.
There's nothing here I want to watch. I was like, there's nothing here for me. There's nothing here I wanna watch.
Like I'm not gonna pay just for Star Trek.
So maybe I'll go back and I'll pay for like a month
to watch it all and then just be done with it.
Have we aged out of the piracy window
or do you think piracy has just gone way down?
Like I always heard stuff more accessible now.
Yes, it's easier.
It's as easy as it is to,
I think pirating is so much harder now that
the Russian hackers.
That it's just like the default is just like,
ah, 99 cents, whatever.
Right, and it's already on your phone
or it's already like tied in your face.
They made it more convenient to buy it,
but it used to be more convenient to just download it.
Because you couldn't find it,
it wasn't available or whatever. And I I've never I've never pirated a movie because I was
in that industry and it felt wrong. I am. I see I had friends that were in the movie industry and they
were just adamantly against piracy of movies. But if it was a TV show, they were just like, well,
it's TV. It's free. It's free. It's you know, whatever. It's not. It's not a fucking mom works.
I'd work on both. Yeah, I had a very tense conversation
with a friend of mine and,
do you yell?
You professional.
No, it's just like, dude,
you're being a fucking hypocrite, you know?
Because yeah, I get it, it's free.
And like, we're already paid for cable services.
Like, well, the movies are gonna be
on your cable service eventually anyways.
So just fucking,
I've worked the movies for a few years.
Yeah.
When someone who works here uses ad block.
Yeah.
Who doesn't use it?
Go, name it. We will take them out. We'll block them. I don't wanna say. use his ad block. Yeah. List them. Who doesn't use it?
Go.
We will take them out.
We'll block them.
I don't want to say.
I use ad block.
You can add block work?
Yes.
For what?
Do you know where you work?
I just, it's like always been on my Chrome.
So I mean, it's there.
But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,
I do posits on occasion.
What in the world?
Oh my God.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize that was such a faux pas.
I don't know if you're coming back on the podcast anymore.
Yeah.
I'm gonna get a forge you.
We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna start
beck a block on this episode.
And I think it's the beck a, just gonna be like
a blank white screen.
That'd be a great,
Chrome extension that we can make.
See, this is what I'm okay with.
I'm okay with there being two models of,
because I think it's certain points in your life.
You have more time than you have money.
And there's other parts of your life
where you have more money than you have time.
Like if you're 90?
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I mean, not like time left.
I mean, just time in your busy schedule.
So it's like one of those things like on video games,
when you can buy something,
like you buy cosmetics or whatever,
either you can play like 30 or 40 hours and win the thing
or you can pay two bucks and get it right now.
And for me, you're like,
microtransactions are terrible.
It's like, no, it required me to play something
for 40 hours is just astronomically out of question.
And expensive, it's expensive to play something for 40 hours.
It's expensive in time. Yeah. hours. It's expensive in time. Yeah
Yeah, but also you don't have to be playing the game. What have to do you don't have to be do either have to be touching the game
Oh, you're choosing to play it and then you're buying the you wait to the end
I'm not buying my way to the ends cosmetic thing. Oh just for cut. Although my kids say the same thing
They are like staunchly
Anti-microtransaction they will not buy anything. No, I not buy anything. I bought a skin on Fortnite and they're done with me.
They're fucking up.
They look down at you.
Oh my gosh, it was such disdain.
I've done it at work a lot because we have to buy vehicles for GTA,
but I would never do that for playing that game with it.
But when I was associated with this Tiger Woods golf
had a thing where when you want to play multiplayer,
you can level your character up through
150 hours of gameplay or you can pay 10 bucks and just get the player leveled all the way. It might not have been multiplayer It's in multiplayer, but it might not have been a single player. Is this something you did? No, I don't play Tigers with golf
But I remember that being more the early controversy. Yeah, it was that was a long time ago
You can just level the player up just paying to like like, what everyone is playing the game for. It's like, no, something like this,
playing the game to play a golf game.
Right.
Going through the leveling thing or unlocking stuff.
Like another thing too is unlocking,
like tracks in a race game.
It's just like it takes so long.
You have to play the game to unlock the game.
Right, the game I bought,
I've got to like work for the game now.
I gotta go to work on this thing.
And I just, I'd rather just like, I would buy bucks. The only time I gotta go to work on this thing. And I just had rather just like,
I worked five bucks.
The only time I would pay to avoid something in a game
is where you have to play a game to a certain point
to get to the multiplayer.
I hate that.
If going straight to multiplayer was like a buck,
I would do it.
Well, I would think that I've always been
one of the people who plays single player first
and then plays multiplayer.
It's just annoying for making videos.
I get that.
There's that thing on GTA when you play multiplayer
for the first time, you get a few things like graveyard.
And there are so many videos,
and sometimes the sponsor videos where it's like,
oh, just do this half an hour, let's play.
And it's like, oh, fine.
But you'd have to play it for two hours
to get to the point where you could do the list.
Oh, right.
It's like such a waste of everyone's time.
Damn.
And then you feel like an asshole
for having other people play on your account
to get you up to the point where you can play.
Oops, sorry, you lost your power.
Just a test.
I remember the big project that we had for Halo 3,
where the, I forget what it was,
but the Mark,
was it Mark 6 helmet?
Yeah, Mark 6 was the one we use that unlocked that in Halo three
You had to go through
What's the mark six? It was a mark five for caboose that you know
Mark five caboose but there was a reason why we had to do it on like six profiles
And wasn't it like beat the whole game on legend? Yeah, and we had so we said to the community
Hey, we're gonna hand out these gamer tags. Please hand it if you guys want to level these things up.
We'll give you. We'll send you something for it because you and I were not going to play through 12
12 different. I had a really good things we can rush. I remember the names of all the
recollection titles six seven and eight and for some reason I blanked I blanked on eight the car reconstruction
Yep recreation. Yep. What's eight?
Resurrection no, I don't remember what it was. Hey. Recreation. Yep. What's eight? Resurrection.
No.
I don't remember what it was.
Isn't that crazy?
Oh, that was one where it was all animated.
Yeah, you just named the show.
Good for you.
Yeah, that's right.
There were like shoot them up characters.
Yeah.
It was the name of it, Gavin.
Classic Gavin, he doesn't know something.
He changes the subject.
No, I'm just trying to remember what happened in that season.
That was one where Monty was doing animation in it.
That's the big fight with meta on the ice flows
and all that stuff.
Is that revelation?
Nailed it, revelation.
That's the man over there that knew it.
I thought that, and I thought, well that was the,
I'm thinking of Assassin's Creed,
because that third one of that was also this.
So, revelation.
It was Halo Reach, or yet, unlock the Mark 6 helmet.
And it costs 300,000 credits.
And you can only unlock it at Brigadier, which itself required 1.4 million credits.
Maybe that's what it was.
But maybe that's too much time.
That's a lot of time.
That's according to stack exchange, quoting Halo Wiki for that for that data.
Halo Reach fans, people who that's their favorite Halo game. They are hardcore reach fans like they are
Very upset. I really liked reach. That was a great game. I liked sword base. Yeah, that was a really fun one
Play I like jet packs and shit. I like that it was a part of a campaign map
Just like a shrunken down bit. They just blocked off some of the doors
But you go through there in the campaign. Yeah, you don't like that? No, I do I just wish
That was the Bernie. Yeah. You don't like that? No, I do. I just wish you could do it.
That was the Bernie.
I don't like that.
No, I just wish you'd gone through Bud Gulch
during the Halo campaign that have been pretty funny.
Yep.
Wouldn't have made any sense at all.
That's what it would have been funny.
Man, I didn't tell you.
I had the dumbest fishing attempt on me
while I was overseas a couple weeks ago.
I was a couple weeks ago.
No, no, no.
Someone called me trying to get
my bank account information or something.
So I got, I had a missed call and I looked, I listened to the voice and I was like, hello,
this is Robert with Fraud Prevention Department. We noticed when you had a new account, he
gave us a call back at this number, a press option three. I was like, okay, so I call
them. They didn't name any bank, they didn't name what kind of account. And I was like,
all right, I'll call them back.
We'll see what this is about.
So I call, I go through the phone tree and they're like,
oh yeah, you know, this is fraud, fraud, fraud,
fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, I said, I got a Mr.
call from you guys.
You said they might be fraud on my account.
I only call because I was overseas.
I thought I just want to be safe.
And normally I get a text message from,
so I didn't get a text message.
I knew this was full of shit from the beginning.
So I called back and I'm talking to the guy,
he's like, yeah, yeah, can you let me know
what your account number is.
And I go, you need my account number?
You was, yeah, in order for me to look it up,
the call just gets routed to me.
I don't know, it's like, you can't tell what my account
is based on the phone number I called you from.
He goes, no, no, no, you gotta tell us your account number.
So I was like, I read off like,
what sounded like a credit card number,
but it wasn't my credit card number.
He's like, okay, okay, I've got your account here.
In order to verify your identity, I need to send you a pin to your phone via text message.
Can you tell me what your cell phone number is?
And I said, you want me to tell you my cell phone number so you can send it a text and then verify my identity.
And he goes, yes, I could read you any phone number in the world.
And you would send it a text message and you would verify that it's me.
He goes, yes, that's the procedure here.
I go, you don't realize how this is stupid?
He goes, so wait, he was gonna send you a code.
But if he gave, okay, I see.
It doesn't make any sense.
It makes, like, you're like, what?
That's what I said.
Yeah, I said, I don't believe you.
I said, I'm gonna call the number
that's printed on the back of my credit card said, I'm gonna call the number that's printed
on the back of my credit card and ask them.
And I called the number on my credit card
and they're like, no, we didn't call you
and they're like, can you tell us what the voicemail said?
And I read them with the voicemail said and they go,
no, no, you see, there's three key things
we always leave in every voicemail.
It's like this, this, and this.
That voicemail didn't list anything.
That's nothing.
Not even the name of the bank.
Right, that's obviously a fishing attempt.
So is that a way to try and get around
two-step verification
by using your phone?
I think they try to make you think
that they're doing it, but it's like
you're giving them the number.
They just want your credit card number
and the phone number.
That's often used to verify the credit card number.
What they said that also, I could verify myself,
they could look me up by my social security number
if I wanted to give them that.
Oh, that's even.
That's really handy, thanks guys.
I use different secret words for everything. And just like I use, I used,
and I use different passwords for every, as you should, every place where I
have an account. So I kind of extended that to the secret words. But then when
I was asked me, like, what's the, the, the secret word of the past word for your
account? I just go, well, it's this. There's no reaction. Or it's this, or it's this,
or it's this, or it's this, or it's this. Like, that's it. Okay, great.
There's no reaction. Or it's this, or it's this, or it's this.
Or it's this, like that's it, okay great.
It's just like, I know that statistically,
I'm not gonna land on just a random word, you know,
six times in, but it's just funny, I'm just like,
what's the password?
You're there five minutes, oh no, that's it, okay great.
I have a pretty good way of getting around fishing,
cool, never asked my phone.
Good call, good no.
No.
I need more of my phone is Good call. Yeah, good though.
No.
I need to know where my phone is right now.
My phone is missing.
It's in your crotch.
Thank you.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm trying to look at my most recent calls.
It seems like since the new year, I've been getting calls from telemarketers a lot more.
Like, there's something reset.
Let's do the roof these days.
Yeah, I mean, it's all day.
I get tons of fake calls that are like 512
and then the first three digits of my phone number
and then the last four are different.
Like, who does, what does that feel like?
At least I appreciate that because I know like,
oh, I know this is not a real call.
Like I can hang this one up.
I have the longest block list of 512 XXX numbers.
It's ridiculous.
Every day I get a new one though.
That's terrible.
It got to run out of permutations at some point.
It's only what? 10,000 of them?
Yeah.
What would you, in the list of things,
is the first thing you have to cut off one thing,
and one of the things, let's say, is internet.
My pinky.
Or like running water, electricity,
heat, let's say if you have gas that's separate,
trash service, internet, cable television, voice phone calls.
Heat.
You cut off heat first?
Yeah.
You would?
Yes.
I could put clothes and blankets on.
Cash can fire.
I cut off voice phone calls.
Oh yeah.
Oh voice, oh yeah, you're right.
I didn't even consider that one.
Yeah, if you have internet,
you're talking about like cellular calls different to a wifi.
You just wouldn't have a phone number. Like people say, hey, what's your phone number? So I'd call you, I don't that one. If you have internet, you're talking about like cellular cool is different to a Wi-Fi. You just wouldn't have a phone number.
Like people say, hey, what's your phone number?
So I call you, I don't have one.
Here's the number where you can text me.
And then, but you just can't get,
but you can't get, you can't get, cool.
But they like call you on WhatsApp or something?
It's no voice call.
Ah, I don't know, sometimes you need
to cool custom service.
It's true.
Sometimes you do.
Could you use the pay phone in the scenario?
Pay, yeah, what the fine one.
Oh.
They're all over Canada.
I know where this is a pay phone. I can find one. I feel like this one's not very far from here. I can find one.
There's no pay phones anywhere.
No, there's pay phones.
Let's pay phones at the airport.
Lots of thing are important.
Remember pay TVs at the airport?
Yeah, I remember those.
That seemed like a future to me.
Remember there was like the oldest thing ever.
For a brief period of time, there were these pay phones
where you could go and put like two bucks of quarters
in them and it would have had a little screen on it
and it would show you the weather at whatever your destination
is. And then you could go and put like
two bucks of quarters in them and it would have had a little screen on it and it would
show you the weather at whatever your destination was.
Like it would put them at airports and you'd be like, you know, you could type in whatever
city you're going to show you like a five day weather forecast.
Life was so hard.
Payphone is a terrible name for payphone.
It's just a really different shape.
What would you call it?
A public landline.
Rent a phone? Why do I mean, for every phone you use? I pay for my phone.
But when I pick this up, I don't have to jam quarters into it or anything like that.
Every time you use your phone, you have a swipe card to use it.
So it's a pay per use phone. So is that what you would call it? Yeah, paper you so you and then I was sure it's a pay
Yeah, I can see what they did it. Yeah, there came for a start on that one
And I'm sure the phone you already own it's a paper use phone as well. It was prepaid is it?
Nope, you got a burn. No, pre-pay for like a whole month. You don't pay for cool is what I mean
We have like a block that you pay for to be able to use out of.
See, there's stuff that you pull off the time though
because we don't have pay phones, right?
Because if I took you, Gus, you just had your birthday.
How old are you?
I did.
40 years old.
40?
We didn't make a bigger deal about you being 40
than you're 40.
We had a party.
Yeah, but that was just some, that was I run.
You see my gift, I got gift.
What'd you get?
I got, I got maybe the most practical gift
I've ever received someone,
oh, they got a photo of me.
They, they had, they had,
if you had gone to the party, you would have seen.
They had a baby photos of me.
And someone male, what was your trick there?
Oh, someone mailed me the most practical best gift
I've ever received.
We've been Asian?
A book of stamps. A book of stamps. Maybe they mailed you stamps? They mailed me stamps most practical best gift I've ever received. Are you Asian? A book of stamps.
A book of stamps.
They mailed me stamps.
They mailed me stamps and I was like,
oh, I'm gonna use these.
This is the best gift I've ever received.
How much do you post things?
It didn't matter, those forever stamps.
Right, yeah, they're forever stamps.
Yeah.
It's good forever.
You know how long forever is forever?
Oh.
I always wonder how much money is tied up in stamps and people's drawers
and fucking jars of pennies
Someone all over the place someone came to my party from St. Louis and brought me St. Louis shot glasses
Also brought me my new favorite mirror
Roles
Good
I got some alcohol. I got some whiskey and some beer the beer is behind me. I'm right there. I got some model planes
Which you can't see there
over there on that side.
This seems like you're actually enjoying
you birthday.
We got a card.
No, no, no.
Oh, that's a classic.
That guy.
He's all over Target.
And another card, some other various things.
So thank you everyone who brought me a gift.
It was unnecessary, but I appreciate the thought.
And the effort.
This is way is fishing for more stuff.
No, no, no, that's it is.
It's unnecessary.
You do that.
You're done.
So five minutes of podcast.
Now, is there going to be a boxing shit?
Don't send me shit.
I'm not a boxing shit.
I'm just saying thank you.
I appreciate your effort.
Yeah, Gus does.
There are people to company who will ask for free shit on Twitter and tries most of us at
this couch crazy when they do that.
But then also there was, I remember there was one time when I forget who I forget who was, they, I think it was just a cheetah,
how it posted to the end of the video, a PO box.
And you were like so mad on Twitter about it.
You know, you know, I just wrote, why?
Oh, yeah, I heard that.
Doesn't make any sense.
We've already received mail here.
Play for free, shit.
We have a fucking address that's public that you can give out.
That's a move.
We have a PO box stuff.
Like, I've got an empty wallet.
Like, I'm gonna be a-
Wait, wait, wait.
The hardest part for me is we go to the like,
places like Sydney or now London,
and someone walks up with something really awesome
that's about this big.
Somebody sent me, or somebody,
I gotta correct something by the way in a second here.
Don't let me forget to do that.
Somebody sent me, or gave me this incredible board game.
And I was just like, how the fuck am I gonna get this home?
Just, you know, it's international travel.
You're just, you're packed to the gills.
So, I think I'm just gonna start bringing a separate suitcase
for that kind of stuff.
What does it risk to have just like a container
that we can all bond on Giftson?
And we can separate it.
And we just ship it back as a company
as a part of the expense.
That's it, we finally moved Ashley out of her storage unit on this trip to say,
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
So all that, like the surfboard and the...
Was it made of back yet?
Snowboard or...
No, they're on a container.
They'll probably be here in life.
She's been here like, like, like six years?
It's like four, four or five years.
Yeah.
No, no, yeah, it's over five years.
I've never had the shipping cost.
Because she's been in the Austin for five years.
Yeah.
What's the cost of a shipping container every month?
They're very expensive. You mean a store.
A store jewellery.
Yeah.
It was like $150 Australian.
Every month?
Yeah, but then every month, she's like,
if I don't pay it now, I'm going to lose all my stuff.
So every month it was worth it.
They hold your shit ransom.
This was not a financially-sound plan.
And last time we went down, we got everything organized.
The company was going to come and move it out.
And they said, oh, you gotta be there.
We're gonna move out.
It's like, well, we're back in the United States.
So can you just have the manager of the place open it?
They're like, no.
Like, I haven't tried to trust me.
I went through this a thousand times.
Like, just calculating the cost, calculating the cost
of all the things in there.
But it's all sentimental value.
Could you pay someone who was local in that city
to show up and pretend to be you?
She had, yeah, she's friends that could have done that.
I don't know if Yug could pass as Ashley though, that would be a hell of an acting job
from to pull that off.
Yeah, it's always annoying when you have to do something in person and it's really far away.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. It's like whenever I have to renew my visa, it's like I have to just be at the embassy
on a certain date at a certain time, but then that's it. It's like, man, I wish I could have renew my visa. It's like, I have to just be at the embassy on a certain day, at a certain time. But then that's it.
It's like, man, I wish I could have done that remotely.
I had a day today where I was, uh, went through and did like, killed a bunch of rats.
I might to do list.
And the big thing was, yeah, I thought you were crazy.
Oh, but if Shadow of War, which I just started playing, you had to get health.
You trained for rats.
It's really weird that they pop.
It's kind of gross. You shoot them with a taser. No, you like, you like, you get health, you train for rats. It's really weird that they pop.
It's kinda gross.
You shoot them with a taza?
No, you like, you just like do the thing, you do that.
Took me a long time to figure that out.
I told me on the screen.
It told me about guys trying to be a tazel.
I was like, what the fuck do you regain health
in this game?
That game is so much fun and it's so well made,
but it is like the same two minutes again and again and again.
It's good two minutes.
Yeah, well you're not,
cause you're fighting like 30 people at once
and you're just like flipping over him and then stab him.
Like docking and marking people
and then finally killing him.
And that revenge system they have in the game
is just in that, I love it.
The Nemesis system, fucking love that.
I've been playing Wolfenstein too, which I like.
And I've been dying a lot for a game, I'm not playing on the hardest difficulty.
I don't think I'm playing on the second hardest difficulty.
So I looked at what the achievement was
for completing on the hardest difficulty
and less than 0.01% of gamers have it.
Wow.
And I'm not even gonna bother trying it.
It's impressive when you get,
it's a huge sense of accomplishment
when you get those though.
Because I do some bits just over and over and over again
because everything kicks off.
Like I try and stealth love it, but once it kicks off, you're in real danger before you get
the second version of who you have you played again?
No, I have it.
But right now I'm doing...
I watched it.
Yeah.
To watch games.
I'm replaying Horizon Zero Dawn on Ultra Hard in order to replat in a minute.
So like there's two...
Excuse me, there's two, excuse me,
there's two trophies I need,
it's I need a complete new game plus
and I need a complete ultra hard.
And I'm almost done on that,
the new game plus ultra hard.
At the next time I sit down to play it,
I'm gonna beat it.
And it's gonna be my proudest accomplishment
ever in video gaming.
Really?
Is that difficult?
It's just like,
So you're in an achievement sound.
No trophies. Like that's it.
Because I love that game so much. Having no, that's it. Like that's it.
I love that game so much.
Having done everything that's possible in that game.
Like knowing that I've experienced everything.
I miss the first part of the story.
You're saying horizon?
Yeah, I'm having to redo.
Yeah, my I just knew just by the way you're talking about,
I missed the first part because I was checking something here,
but I knew you were talking about horizons.
You definitely love that game.
The game is so good.
And I I I'm glad that I waited so long.
I just finished it the first time probably
almost a year ago now.
I'm glad I waited so long because now I'm still
like re-experiencing some story stuff
and we're like, oh, right, that's how this happens.
That's how that happens.
It's a really, really great story.
Great game.
You should absolutely play it if you have it.
So I made a mistake a couple of weeks ago.
I think it was telling Steph when she was on the podcast
about the Schmorgen Heckengarde portrait
that someone had autographed for me.
And I mistakenly transposed two of my friends
in the community.
That said, it was Dom, so Matt Corey, that did it.
Yeah, who's the gentleman who's took the Bernie
bobblehead all the way down to,
it wasn't the bobblehead, it was a stach, I get, I'm gonna get everything wrong, in't the bubble head, it was a stach,
I get, I'm gonna get everything wrong,
in the association with this.
It was a statue that he bought at Child's Play.
Not Child's Play, Christ what's wrong with me?
Stop, stop, he's a stach.
Side quest.
Side quest, mania.
It was statue, the Bernie statue he bought.
It was somebody made a mock-up of it
that was sold at Side Quest,
and then he got here in RTX Austin,
and then traveled all the way down
to Bernie's Tasmania with it. And then also got here in RTX Austin, and then traveled all the way down to Bernie Tasmania with it.
And then also got me my Shmurgen Heckengart.
But I'm trying to find, it's in a frame,
which he was nice enough to provide and send here,
but it doesn't have a little hanger on the back.
So I'm like in that process of trying to like put the hanger on,
and I completely put it on wrong, so now I've got to fix it.
We have an art department for that.
Yeah, it's exactly right, but they're all out hunting ghosts
this week or something like that.
All right.
I saw a picture.
Are you not there?
Not right now.
Yeah.
I saw a picture of a place they're filming today.
It looks spooky as hell.
There's like an old broken wheelchair.
Yeah.
It was very...
It sounds terrifying.
Yeah.
Why do ghosts like the same place?
Like why do they like the spooky aesthetic?
Maybe the aesthetic is spooky.
Do they go hand in hand?
Yeah. The ghosts make it spooky?
Right.
Maybe they'll be good.
They're like shit in cobwebs and stuff.
Right.
Like them being there is the present set
attracts these other things.
And maybe we get the fuck out.
And maybe it's harder to notice the ghost
in a thriving environment such as this.
If this were abandoned and you were alone.
You're so warm.
Yeah, I'm fire.
She's warm for you.
Yeah.
A bun in the 11.
Maybe they, the range from their death point makes them weaker.
So they just linger where they die.
They're death points.
So what are you saying that they, that people die at spooky places?
So they'll show a little ghostly, like I believe in ghosts, which I know.
Well, those are the most haunted, you don't believe in ghosts?
No.
But you grew up like close to the Mexican border down in, yeah, South Texas.
Very superstitious area.
There it is. So do you believe in like all the other stuff like super South Texas. Very superstitious area. It is.
So do you believe in all the other stuff like super cabras?
No.
What's the other stuff?
What's the other thing?
Laiorana?
What's the thing?
Windigo?
What's the windigo?
Laiorana, I think it's what he's thinking about.
Is that what I'm thinking of?
The Laionora.
Do you believe in the other thing?
That thing.
You scared of that?
No.
No.
I thought...
I thought...
Lichwisas? I'm not... I've seen it. I'm the same way. I don't even go. I thought- Lithuases? I'm not- I've seen them too. I'm the same way. I'm not- I don't even go. So I don't think I'm not scared.
But I stayed at an Airbnb in New Zealand
that I was convinced had a ghost.
Really?
It was like, it was this old house
that was built in the mid 1800s
by a former Prime Minister of New Zealand.
And there was one room in it that still looked like original,
like with rough brick and it's where the trash can was
and at night, like it was in a kind of a remote area.
So at night when the sun was down,
there were no lights anywhere and there was no sound.
And I was like, I'm gonna go into this room
and I'm gonna turn on a fucking light
and there's gonna be a goddamn ghost there.
But I didn't say anything because I didn't wanna scare Esther.
So I went into like, we were leaving from that Airbnb
and I was like, I was convinced we were gonna see some shit.
I was gonna admit that that place was fucking haunted.
I didn't think Esther would be scared, that was she?
No, she was like, I was thinking the same thing.
She's the same way, she's not, she doesn't believe in ghosts,
she's not scared of that.
Did you once wake up with like a demon set on your face
or something?
Yeah, but that was a, what's it called?
Sleep paralysis.
Oh, it's called the Hegs in Girl.
Yeah, yeah.
If only.
No, it was a sleep paralysis hallucination
and it's called the,
the haggs in front of the head.
Yeah, I get such a common occurrence.
It's awful.
Yeah, it's worse.
Haven't had in years.
I'm gonna have it tomorrow because you talked about it.
I know I am.
As people who have had kids and about to,
do you know where your kids were conceived?
Yeah.
Or is it kind of like a, yeah, I think so.
I think so. Becca was very enthusiastic about that. Yeah, I mean well with climate was like, you know our bed at home
Which was whatever
Our bed at home
It's all pretty routine, but um
This one was conceived in Montreal because I was charting everything down to a tee
It was like we got we we gotta get on this.
And so we're staying in the golf.
We got more like active,
I mean, fairly the right word that doesn't sound
like much bang.
We were more purposeful in this conception.
We were like going through fertility treatments
and everything.
Oh, really?
Yeah, okay.
So everything was mapped out.
I had a chart of when we should start doing it
And how far apart to like get the maximum strength of the storm.
But yeah, yeah, yeah, it happens. It's all very very clinical, but in Montreal
So that's kind of a cool. A little Canadian baby Canadian baby. Yeah, Montreal kind of adds a little bit of
Romanticism back into the clinicalness so it evens out. Yeah, that's good
Would you ever have your kid like what be, if you traveled to have a kid
in other country, I always read this on the inbound
declarations and when you're going into a country,
and they're usually countries where they have
socialized medicine, obviously,
if you come into the country to have a baby,
that's a huge cost to that country.
So it's on the questions I ask,
are you here to have a baby?
That's like, no, but that's a great idea
if saving costs like-
But you're not covered by their socialized healthcare.
Like when we were in Montreal,
I thought, I thought,
Bayes more there it is, right?
Well, I guess the baby.
First half on you.
Yeah, because I thought I was gonna have to take
Clam to the doctor, she had a fever.
And I started looking up what to do.
And it's pretty expensive.
You have to pay out a pocket.
Because you don't pay the taxes of that country,
it makes sense.
Well, like if you had to go to another country and have a kid, like, what's the best
country to have dual citizenship with? Oh, there's different values to different passports.
I think Austria is a good, good one to have. What's good about that? I mean, it's like
the amount of countries that you can go and work in from an Austrian passport. It might not
be Austrian. German is the best one. German. It's like, one of those European ones.
Really? Yeah. Behind like the US. How It's like someone that's European one. Really?
Yeah.
Behind like the US.
How times change?
Well, Germany is really close to a bunch of different countries too.
Right?
I mean.
It's got that EU access.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think the United States is number three.
I would definitely want to be in the EU.
Really?
What?
Well, the US one is always if you go, if you get dual citizenship somewhere else, they
just kill your US. Well, the US has limitations on, I mean, the US one is always if you ghost, if you get dual citizenship somewhere else, they just kill your US
Well, the US has limitations on I mean, the US is great if you want to live in the US
But you can't really work in a lot of other places on a US possible. Yeah, we're fucking it up worse and worse. Yeah
Let's see
There's a site passport index.org that rates the power ranking of
Passports. Yeah, this like which second possible is the most is the best.
Where's North Korea?
Dependent.
What does the North Korean passport look like?
Do they even have one?
Do they even have one?
I don't even know.
North Korea, I found it.
I want to pull it up.
North Korea passport?
Wait, where'd it go?
What do you think?
It's blue.
Is the amount of documentation and work you have to do
in order to get a North Korean passport
Jesus Christ
I assume it's like impossible to be born into it. I would have to assume I mean for us. Yeah, no way
We should try the next dog. I imagine like 90% of North Korean passports though
You get to the border from somewhere like they stamp it
They stamp it and they go like this and the person goes. Oh, you keep it
I'm not gonna need that again, thanks Chris.
It's crazy how every passport on the planet
seems to follow the same exact format.
North Korea and South Korea.
Like, do you have to meet certain requirements
for it to be considered a passport by the planet?
Yeah, well, travel's kind of like that.
Like, every pilot in the world has to speak English.
Just, it's the language of aviation.
And, uh, air traffic control.
Yeah.
What kind of goes hand in hand?
So even...
You said pilot, come on.
Don't be a fucking dick.
They can talk to each other.
Even North Korean ad traffic control speaks English.
That's a really good question.
I bet.
I don't think they get a lot of commercial traffic there.
Oh, like deliveries and stuff.
What they probably do?
FedEx.
Maybe they don't.
North Korea might make a really hard exception for that.
Yeah.
So I have a friend who ran a marathon in North Korea.
What?
OK.
Yeah.
There's so many other places you can learn.
I know, but he said he was living in Seoul.
And he's like from Connecticut and lived in Austin for a long time.
And he was working in Seoul and decided, you know, while I'm here,
I might as well do this crazy thing.
And he went into North Korea,
but even though it was like a couple hundred miles from Seoul,
he had to fly to Shanghai first to then fly into North Korea.
And he said it was the weirdest experience.
He wrote about it on a medium post,
or a series of a few,
and he immediately regretted his decision to do this
that you could tell he was really scared.
Like the entire time.
Yeah, he said everyone on the flight that was a westerner
was either there for like, you know,
some risky, crazy adventure, the marathon
or like someone who's really wealthy
and has gotten to a point in their life over there.
Like that's the obtainable thing to do.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I just thought of a place that I would want to go
visit like that.
Well, I mean, he has stories about that student,
like the, the, the, the auto guy who needed the thing
and then they gave him back and he was dead.
No, he, he was mostly dead.
Yeah.
He'd been in the coma like the entire time.
Yeah.
It's so messed up.
Yeah.
Why have it happened with that guy?
Why have it happened with that guy?
Why have it happened with a warm beer?
Was there an investigation as to how do you investigate?
I think there was.
They looked, they did an autopsy and they concluded that there, I think there wasn't any true
sign of abuse.
You went to the cost of the lack of creativity, but there was definitely something that
cost it, but they weren't able to pinpoint it enough to where they've been so long.
I'm sure you like you'd already got out of a system, whatever it was.
Right.
Or like all the bruises that he older, whatever it was.
Give him anywhere that you really regret going there like this is a bad idea.
Hmm.
I mean, shortly, like little periods of time, there's some areas in Puerto Rico where I'm probably for not have gone.
I had that some border towns in Mexico,
where I turned the wrong way.
There's like anything could happen to me at this point in time.
Yeah, I went to Wattis, definitely regretted that.
Yep.
At that moment in San Antonio, not too long ago,
in December, I was very surprised.
I went to a Thai restaurant.
I found on Yacht that excellent reviews,
and I thought I was going to die.
I really thought I was going to get murdered in there.
And I went back.
In the restaurant.
Yeah, and I went back and read the reviews
and they were all from people who did delivery.
No one actually ate at the restaurant.
Really?
Yeah, so I went and gave a very honest review
of someone who had eaten there saying,
I thought I was going to die.
Sorry.
Is that restaurant still around?
How long ago was that?
Two and a half months ago.
Oh shit.
It was really recent.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
So you're pregnant and you thought you're
going to get murdered?
And I had my whole family with me, everyone.
Climbs like running around.
Am I the new who chose that place?
Yes, I feel so bad.
Well, it was by consent.
I sent out a few different options
and people voted on that place
and I enthusiastically backed it.
But yeah, I basically was responsible.
I guess we're filming the 15th year anniversary doc right now.
It's about the 15 years of her sheet.
The history of her sheet.
We're not, well they're here somewhere filming.
They were.
But I've been going through old stuff
and I found a trip that you and Jeff and Griffin
and I took to Eagle Pass.
I think Frank was with us too.
And then we went over to PA dress across the border.
But there's this weird off-shoot where we're in an abandoned building with like a vault
and everything like that.
And we're all really excited to be there.
And I couldn't remember what the fuck that was from.
I think that was the old courthouse.
Yeah.
And we were like, look at it, jail cells and stuff.
But it was like, I don't know, we all just thought it was,
I think we were just like looking for cool buildings.
Yeah.
And we stuck in there.
You have been going through, I found a ton of old photos
that we've never released over like the last 15 years.
I got it from like the really early years.
Like I found a couple of hard drives
that I'd forgotten about.
Would you be willing to dump those for like if,
yeah, I, they don't make it into the dock?
I offered them to like the marketing people.
I forgot to offer the dock people and they're gone now.
Really?
Yeah.
Why are we looking at it then?
Oh, I was getting ready for it and I just forgot.
Okay.
This was a couple of months ago.
Like I found these hard drives end the last year.
And I thought I should save these now
because they're gonna be useful in the future.
Oh, shit.
That was how, okay, that was the Oh, shit. That was how. How?
Okay, that was the worst one ever.
That was how?
Get all over Gus's laptop.
Thanks, this is replacing the one they got water dumped on it.
So that's how I see if my laptop can survive beer.
Dump right on it.
That time I saw it rising up and I was like,
I'm gonna stay ahead of it.
I put my finger in and it just, it doesn't take the foot.
It turned into a super jet.
So worries. It's a really nice laptop too. Thank you, it is a really nice laptop. I think that made it worse. It's done into a super jet. So worried.
It's a really nice laptop too.
Thank you.
It is a really nice laptop.
I can't wait for you to buy me any ones.
I've only had it a couple months.
I just got this last month.
It's fucking brand new.
You know who you said next year.
You know better.
Yeah, it's my fault.
Fucking dick complain.
That's the way to go.
Fucking Harvey Weinstein over here.
Oh, that's an extreme question go. Fucking Harvey Weinstein over here. Oh.
That's an extreme question.
They're gonna file for bankruptcy.
The Weinstein group or whatever.
What a fucking shock.
Yeah, they had a sale they were trying to push through,
the sale didn't happen to another gonna file for bankruptcy.
Can't we just buy it cheap?
That's really interesting.
How much is the buy that company?
What are the assets?
Don't you think that this is all employee, right?
Like they're gonna declare bankruptcy,
they're gonna sell for cheap,
and then someone else who has equity in the company's
gonna buy it, like, rather ridiculously low-press,
like, oh, buy it for a dollar.
There you go, now you have it.
It's just like a paper named Shuffle kind of deal.
What's the Harvey's brothers name? Bob Boinsing?
So he might do that.
Then, like, wasn't he already like the main guy.
How about I think I have it backwards.
That'd be the greatest brother to me.
The greatest challenge would be to buy that company,
keep the name and turn it around.
It's a special.
She's supposed to.
No.
No, it's not.
Completely impossible.
No, why would you do that?
I mean, that has so many negative associations with it.
Just because you need a challenge in life.
You got enough money.
Like the people who just go to North Korea for shits and giggles. And I completely unrelated note, you see that
machinima just went through a rebrand. They did it logo. I didn't know that. It's like a green
and black kind of a shit red circle. The big red M or whatever it was. Yeah, red M. I don't know,
that was a pretty well known logo, but I think there was just so much. Oh, I see. Yeah, it was a well known logo,
but it wasn't done very well, I didn't think.
Speaking of machinima, Hugh Hancock passed away.
Yeah, that was kind of nuts.
Pass away very suddenly.
Yeah. He was like, I can't believe that.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Not very old at all.
Hugh Hancock is the gentleman who was so early
in the machinima scene.
He's the person who gave it a name.
He was, I mean, for lack of a better term,
he's basically the creator of the machinima movement.
Not the company machinima, but the genre,
machinima of which Red versus Blue is a part.
Took a lot of time building that community too.
He did, he really did.
And people like we knew back then,
Paul Marino, who we still know to this day,
we were all completely shocked that you had cock passed away
It was just came out of nowhere
And yeah, he was super young. It's a really really tragic early 40s. Maybe I think yeah, I think you're right
And yeah, I mean I was like we I don't I don't remember
I don't think I ever met you had cock but we definitely ran in the same circles as him
You know, especially in the early years you really never met him before before. I don't think I've ever met him face to face.
Interesting.
I hadn't seen him in a number of years.
I really do think Machinima as a genre evolved
from being what was going to be a narrative storytelling method
into more of a personality delivery system.
I think let's play phenomenon
is eventually what Machinima evolved into
Yeah, like you know, you look at a twitch streamer. They're machinima artists, but they're machinima artists who
Yeah, expressing their personality. They're not telling the story or anything like that
They're they're just you know expressing their personality. So I think that's what happened with it
Probably diversity if you have a television show one that's scripted and one that's like a talk show
Mm-hmm. Just to see that Kevin Smith had a huge hot attack.
Yeah, I saw that this morning.
And I'm not surprised.
But I mean, he's in crisis.
He's a pretty heavy.
He's just like, I just saw photos of him and thought,
wow, he's lost a ton of weight.
Good for him next day in Massimovac.
I guess it's like all previous damage,
like one of his thoughts really,
and I'm kind of 100% lost.
I think he was doing a show.
Like he had two show schedule for that night.
Yeah, two shows.
Yeah, two shows. Yeah, two shows. Yeah, two shows. Yeah, two shows show schedule for that night. Yeah, two shows. You just finished the first one started feeling sick, decided to cancel the second one
and go to the hospital instead. Yeah, it's a good thing you went. You know, I mean, he probably
would have passed away if he had stayed and tried to do the second show. Yeah, so it's
a sweet. The doctor said he would have died if he didn't go. Well, that's the thing too is like
just hearing that he canceled the second show. You'd hear about that from performers like when
somebody gets sick and a concert tour or something, but I think Kanye was just in the middle of settling
something about a canceled tour. It's a big fucking deal. Like I cannot recall the
last time we could be canceled an event or show. If we were out doing a show and we
had two of them and I felt like shit between them, I'd be like, no, no, no, we got it.
Yeah, we're gonna do the second one. We're gonna get through it. I'll go after this.
Yeah, you probably be dead. Right.
Yeah, so good on him for doing it, you know,
and realizing he had a situation going on.
It must have felt way more serious than anything he felt before.
He said he felt heaviness in his chest
and he is nauseous and then through it.
That's sweaty, I think.
That's what they're all doing.
Big symptoms.
Yeah, but I was reading Reddit today and to be fair,
I would imagine that a lot of people who read Reddit
look a lot like Kevin Smith, you know.
I mean, he's like an inspiration for, you know, just stylistically the that a lot of people who read Reddit look a lot like Kevin Smith You know, I mean, he's like an inspiration for you know, just stylistically the way a lot of people dress
You know that he forget her way for the heavy dude to look at cool dude and
I think there's probably a lot of people that are on Reddit on those forums that are probably thinking holy shit
You know, there's probably a lot of those dudes over overweight nerdy dudes who are having a lot of panic attacks today
You know, I imagine that's a hard attack.
Which feels like a hard attack, which scares the shit out of you.
Yeah, even worse.
Well, that's good for, for awareness at least.
I agree.
Like giving that story out there and letting people know how serious it is.
I'm just so glad you survived, dude.
Yeah, absolutely.
He's like, Kevin Smith is out of, there's three people I consider
to be the huge inspirations for me on a filmmaking level.
And I've gotten to meet two of them.
And Kevin Smith is one of them.
He got to do a panel with him a few years ago.
And he was just like such a nice dude.
And he's like, just like,
I remember coming up in the late 90s,
you know, with the independent film,
like Robert, he gets a Quentin Tarantino in Kevin Smith.
It's just like such an influential dude.
And it's like, to think we were like that close to losing him.
You know?
Who's the third one?
I just named him, yeah.
Robert.
Robert Quentin Tarantino. Yeah. I needed to. Yeah, Robert. Robert, Quentin Tarantino. Yeah.
No one needed me. Yeah.
I never met Quentin Tarantino, but he was hugely influential on me. I got to see the North
American premiere of Pulp Fiction. Did you?
Haw got a tour of the fucking guy. Who's it?
Haw got a torium. Like it had won the Cannes Film Festival and the first showing they ever
had of it, Richard Linkletter brought them here and Quentin introduced it.
And it's like, yeah, and this is,
we're gonna have in college then, right?
Yeah, I was in college.
Wow, I didn't fucking.
20 years, I've known you, didn't know that.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you know, was it a whole gotatorium?
No, I didn't know that either.
Yeah, or I shouldn't say premiere,
because that's usually an event,
but it was the first showing of
Pulp Fiction in North America.
That's crazy.
Besides, of course, like, screening rooms
and so I'm sure there were test openings. I qualified this. I was there at the first one, fucking. That's crazy. Besides, of course, like, screening rooms, and so I'm sure there were test techniques.
I qualifying this.
I was there at the first one, fucking.
That's a great film.
I still watch it every now and then on that flex.
Yeah.
You see that gnarly Umatheum and crash?
God, that was awful.
That was fucking nuts.
That was serious impact.
That sucked, dude.
Yeah.
Totally missed this.
So one of the things that's kind of an offshoot
of the Me Too movement is Umat was very upset
with the Harvey Weinstein.
Did you see that interview?
She did on the red carpet where she was seething?
Yes.
Yeah, she said she's gonna have some things to say.
Well, something that was part of that
can be carried about the way you say this kind of stuff
because you don't want to implicate somebody
and something that they're not involved with.
But apparently the story was that Quentin Tarantino forced her
or compelled her to do a driving
scene in Killbill and she didn't feel safe, expressed that she didn't feel safe.
They had a very heated conversation about it.
He essentially can't make anybody get in a car and drive it, but he was like, you need
to do this.
She drove, she fucking wrecked the car and like straight into a tree.
I think she was trying to get a stunt performer.
She wanted a stunt performer because the car had been modified
and didn't handle like normal.
And I think even the stunt performers
wanted to do the driving.
And then he was apparently saying that
she had to drive above a certain speed.
I was a head, I wouldn't blow it correctly.
I didn't even really understand it
because the shot is the back of her head.
Yep, very easy to put anyone else in that.
I'm pretty crazy.
And she had crashed into a tree or something.
Yeah. And there's really a thought. I'm not easy. Yeah, and she had crashed into a tree or something. Yeah.
And there's really a lot of thought.
The footage came out.
No way back.
The camera that's mounted there.
And so did she crash us?
And obviously she's driven away from the crew.
There it is.
And it takes a long time for anybody to get to her.
Oh Jesus.
Yeah, she's like, hit her head.
And it's like an old car, no airbags.
Yeah, you know, those things are death traps to begin with.
She has no headrests, even on the seat.
We just wanted to consider about when she goes back to,
because I'm sure they either did those didn't exist
or they pulled them out because they looked better.
You want to see the hair.
Exactly right.
And so yeah, and then there was some talk about how
there was a huge conflict over whether or not
she could get the footage.
And the footage just now came out. And she had been trying to get the footage for years and years and
years.
Like 15 years now.
Yeah, she just kept trying to get the footage and she couldn't get it.
And you know, there was a lot of personal stuff that was said in some of these articles
like that, you know, in interviews where, you know, they were friends and they were, you
know, creative collaborators and sucks to watch this a fall apart.
But it has been kind of, I don't know, heartwarming is the right word, but it's been, it's been nice to watch them also
make peace. Something I didn't know existed and it was bad blood between them for so long
and they seem to be making peace with it, you know, publicly, which is nice to see.
I think people forget how much of a collaboration that is, I mean, I think it's credited as
concept by Q and U, like by both of them. They both created as credited as creators for, you know,
those couple of films.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll eventually get the third one
that they always talked about.
Oh really?
I don't think I ever saw the second one.
It's good.
It's really good.
I think I didn't like the second one
very much when it came out, but as I've gotten older,
I've gone back and rewatched it and I like it.
I have a greater appreciation for it. I like it a lot more.
Like, I do appreciate the decision to have that done as a real shot.
I like not do it against the screen with a fan, or whatever, but there's no reason to have the act to do that.
In that specific shot. I don't see the purpose of it.
Mm-hmm.
So you haven't seen the second one.
Mm-hmm.
Did you see the scene in the living room where the girl who comes from from school?
Or is that in the second?
That's in the first one.
Is it the first one?
It's Vivica Fox's kid.
I was sorry, a long time ago.
Yeah, she comes in, but the,
if you know the third one,
and she's like, what happened?
Like, your dog got away and made this mess?
Yeah, that's her.
Yeah.
Well, the moment that I was remembered from too
is when, you know, at the end of that fight scene,
when Umat talks to the little girl,
said, if you're still sore about this in 20 years,
come see me.
You know what I mean?
It's like, to me, that's like such a set up for at least
a short film of 30 years.
That was supposed to be the concept.
That was the concept for the third film.
It wasn't really?
Yeah, was the biblical fox's daughter getting older
and training with Darryl Hannah to then take revenge
on Umat Thurman.
Fucking love Darryl Hannah.
Oh yeah, I loverell Hannah. Oh yeah.
I love her.
She's amazing.
Like lives like in the middle of nowhere, drives a tractor
that's ruined by French fried greens.
I'm like, I'm fascinated.
Every time something about Darrell Hannah comes up,
I have to read them, absolutely fascinated.
She does not in any way live a conventional life.
It's awesome.
I love to see that stuff.
I don't know that.
I want to run a tractor powered by French fries.
Yeah, but I'm sure you can find one in Austin.
She's big about like biofuel and stuff like that
and sustainable living and everything.
And she was talking about that stuff
way ahead of the curve, way before anybody else was.
I feel like biofuel was starting to gain traction.
We don't hear about it at all anymore.
I feel like Tesla and electric vehicles
have really stolen a lot of that thunder.
It's just like solar is going to take it all away.
Why waste time with anything else?
You have a technology that's going to solve the whole problem.
The sun goes out, we're fucked.
Granted, there are parts of the world that probably don't get enough sun to really run off solar power.
You know, and that's, you know, those people can die.
Sorry.
But like, there are parts of the world, especially like Northern Europe, I would imagine, Gus or Gav,
if you had solar panels in the UK
Yeah, that might be a waste of money. Yeah, I think even in a in a place like the south of England
The difference between the longest day and the shortest days about eight hours
Wow, you have a you have a in the middle of winter you have a you have daylight of like slightly under eight hours and then it's like
17 hours in the summer or something. Did you read all the hubbub when you're in Australia
about his battery that kicked in?
Like you had some big battery installation.
Oh right, yeah.
Australia, yeah.
That a power engine like kicked over in like 0.3 seconds
and saved everyone from having a power outage.
So it didn't drop power long enough
to lose power to things?
It's a good thing, right.
That's cool.
So then they have to let people know.
Otherwise how do they know, you know? We had power one minute to the next.
They don't go, ooh, that was great.
Yeah.
If you're lightest in your house, you're like,
you don't ever go, what was that?
What happened?
You just go like, get me the phone.
Or you know what, I do what that happens?
I start turning stuff off.
Cause I know it's coming.
That it's gonna shut itself off.
I had a thing in my house where
the hairdryer would always dim the lights,
blast it on and the lights would go,
ooh, and if I went up above a certain speed
on my treadmill, the lights would get dim
until they all just went off.
That was happening to you.
I sent you a power strip that fixed it.
I don't know if you ever got it.
You don't listen to me.
I probably didn't.
Yeah.
But I went through like 10 power strips to fix it.
Really?
It was a bitch.
I went through a number of LED light bulbs
to figure out which ones were dimmable
and which ones weren't.
Because LED light bulbs do not dim
the same way as regular, in-campus.
I produced the voltage that,
well, they just go flickering.
They just go, they go like 100%, 66%.
Aw, fuck.
Or even worse, some of them get down
to like the bottom of the dimming range
and they just start going, like, like they build up on a power to turn on. Yeah, they turn back on this chado
Can I can I can I vent a little bit about Tesla for a second? This is the appropriate platform
Okay, which I normally don't do because I love Tesla stuff talk about you
I love Tesla and SpaceX and all that stuff everyone is super excited about
They're ready to go. I must be on a physical button in there?
Like if you want them?
With that one.
They had everything out.
They had like a short get for it.
The, this car they ejected into space.
Roadster.
I didn't like it.
I thought it was, and I couldn't put my finger on why I didn't like it.
Like I thought it was goofy or didn't take space exploration seriously enough. And I finally figured out what it is that I don't like it. Like I thought it was goofy or it didn't take space exploration seriously enough.
And I finally figured out what it is
that I don't like about the fact
that they put a fucking Tesla in space.
Is it because no one can have one yet?
No, that's the old one.
That's the original, the prototype.
Yeah, I've seen one of those in Austin, by the way,
they are fucking tiny.
The tiny.
Like you have to sit,
you're sitting on the ground when you get into it.
The original roast is tiny. Yeah. I just say though, I saw Lamborghini. I went to go register my car today and somebody was registering
I guess a Lamborghini there's red Lamborghini. That's fuck that's cool. I drove by the Lamborghini dealership over there on Lamar
Yeah, the other day and there was one that was peeling out of the parking lot and it's like it's like split was zero kids
I don't know I guess we can say it is the least play was steak X. I don't know what that means.
Steak dash X like steak like a meat steak.
DASH X. I don't know what that was. Anyway cool car. Maybe it's like space X but steak.
Maybe so. Maybe so. Maybe so.
When it's takes in a space. That's right.
That's a very low cost. He's going to privatize the steak industry.
That's what it's you can drive under some parking barriers in a Lamborghini.
Is that true? Yeah. That's so it's called. You can drive under some parking barriers in a Lamborghini. Is that true? Yeah.
That's so cool.
Yeah, because you can save money on this fucking parking garage.
But the one person doesn't need to sneak out.
I'm such a wet blanket that my whole thing with it, I look at it and I go, that car's
cool.
And then I go, that car's too loud.
I just, I don't want to be in a fucking loud ass car.
How much money do you have to have to the point
where it's wise to buy a $250,000?
It's never what.
I have a regular, I have a formula.
Okay.
If you make that in the year with the car costs,
then you can do it.
No, no, no, no.
Seriously?
Yeah.
Absolutely not.
What do you?
I mean, it scales.
So let's back that up.
A person who makes 40K a year, buying a 40K car,
that doesn't sound outrageous.
It's just so extravagant.
Oh, it is super sharp.
Yeah, it's great.
I agree on the lower end, but on the hind,
it's like that $250,000 car doesn't add four times
the value of a $60,000 car.
Well, you can make that argument, however much one of you have.
Right?
If you're a single dude, I'll make that.
If you're very rich single dude, then buy that car.
Can we for one year pay Becca the amount of a Lamborghini
and see if she buys that?
Yeah, I like this idea.
What did you say?
Why don't we just give Becca a Lamborghini?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
the decision has to be hers.
Oh, also, like, she has other bills as well,
not just the Lamborghini.
What would it like a monthly payment on a $250,000 car be?
Go ahead, damn.
Let's say you put 40,000 down, so 210,000.
First of any bag we go, you're not buying that car.
Get the car.
$210,000.
We're not financing this loan.
Let's say 1% interest over.
1% where the fuck are you getting your loan at?
I'm great credit.
You can not get one set.
You said 210,000?
In five years. Can you walk into the Lamborghini dealership and go,
yeah, I want to talk to the finance department.
I'm going to give you $1.49.
Because that's the lowest I've seen advertised anywhere
for a car loan.
I think you should get it around two.
Point eight.
Not for a car?
I think you say Lamborghini a few more times
when you might get one.
So $210,000, I'll give you your fucking one percent.
I don't believe you.
At 60 months, your monthly payments $3,600. A month210,000, I'll give you your fucking one percent. I don't believe you.
At 60 months, your monthly payments $3,600.
A month?
Yeah, I can add that.
Yeah, the monthly payment for a month.
That's just like having a house.
It's just like paying a mortgage.
I got to say this.
I got to say this.
Dory drove a Bentley.
Who did?
Dory?
Your mom?
Her friend married this rich dude and how's that working out?
Are they still together?
No.
Of course, that sucks. That happens. Did she get half a half a shit? Are they still together? No. Of course I. That happens.
Did she get half a, half a shit?
Yeah, but he was broke.
Oh, really?
Half a bent, right down the middle.
They got repaid.
But yeah, like I drove her car and was like,
this is like twice the value of my house
that I'm driving around.
It's so much for something that someone could just drive into.
I wanna point something out, $3,600,
that is about $1,500 less than Gavin would be as my sugar baby.
So that's-
Wait, you were getting 5,000?
He was like 50 extra sugar babies make.
Oh, right, right.
400, a month to be a sugar baby.
That's like what colors do you like?
I'm sugar baby, you can buy a Lambo.
Yeah.
What colors do you like?
I'm regaining it gonna be.
If I had a Lamborghini, it'd be matte black.
Oh, like that.
Yeah.
That's cool.
You gotta be, you gotta be,
you gotta be, for five years, if I was,
if I was still a child, maybe bright yellow,
but you know, I'm older now.
Oh yeah, you're more self-inthirmed.
As you get older, you're tasting Lamborghinis,
we'll check.
Yeah, whenever my Lamborghini, I would go and buy.
No, it's just, I think it's a personality thing.
I would, like my ultimate car, that I'll never buy, it or get you, I would go and buy. I think it's a personality thing. I would, like, my ultimate car that I'll never buy,
it's a Rolls Royce.
That's really, yeah.
It's more like, I'm more of the more like,
comfort versus sporty.
Like, I like, uh, infinity versus say, a BMW, you know.
I just like, I like more, like, like, no road noise.
Greatest thing in the world.
Just like, if you, because to me driving is like a chore.
I have a question for you.
Stick shift, people try to stick shift.
I like stick shift.
I know.
I have a question for you.
Why do you hate the road through in space?
Here's why I don't like it.
This is not weird if we're talking about Lamborghini
for about four or five minutes.
Okay, I like Tesla a lot.
I like SpaceX a lot.
Why did they put a Tesla in space?
But you know what?
Why?
Because they needed to wait simulation.
That is correct.
They didn't want to send a lump of concrete.
Why not?
Boring.
Okay, but why did they choose a Tesla?
Because everything that we're talking about it.
But why?
Hold on, let's get, let's get, let's get involved with this.
Because he owns both of them.
There you go.
It's marketing.
And they put marketing in space.
That's what I like about it.
If they built a 20 ton concrete big Mac and launched marketing in space. That's what I like about it. If they built a
20 ton concrete big Mac
and launch that in space,
people would be very
fucking pissed about that.
They would be,
you're kidding me that they're
launching a fucking big Mac into space.
If someone could buy the rights
to whatever thing he put in the thing
and it was a giant concrete big Mac,
you got to appreciate that.
I think once you start
commercializing space in that
regard, I know it'd tell my commercialization
and your private-
Man, goddamn space billboards.
What is, dude?
There are people working on technology
to put ads on the moon.
You know, can you imagine if you had to look up the moon
and just like, goddamn, Kentucky-Frike chicken
and go on.
I mean, how could Bill investigate it back in the 90s?
Yeah, but it's so smart.
Because such an effort to change it.
It's so fucking dumb, like, who's,
like, you gotta be a long time.
What if they had the rockets they got me?
Any return on that investment?
Would you remember the million dollar homepage
where each pixel was a dollar?
Yeah.
You could have the billion dollar billboard
that just sits up in space
and each block of it is a million dollars.
Oh, yeah.
You can remotely change it.
Like you have like some kind of
in case you're in.
No, it should be permanent.
It should be like, bam.
No, you can resell it.
I don't know.
No, no, it's because you're describing
it's terrible.
It's awful. That's awful.
I mean, it's awful for everyone
except the person who's made a billion dollars off of it.
Gavin, let's go in on this.
A billion dollar billboard.
500 million each.
Well, slightly less, because Becca's running ad blocks.
So yeah, make it a little bit less than that.
There's no way you can block that one.
You can fucking look at the moon.
No, I have like smart eyes by then.
I can, yeah.
A.O. would put blur over it.
Yeah, there's a scene in altered carbon
where he puts in contacts,
but then make all the advertisements show up.
It's like, I don't know what in those contacts.
I saw that.
Just don't wear those ever.
Just seem like a nightmare.
It seems like we're not far from that.
I think it's easy.
It becomes easier for private companies to access space
and eventually the public.
There's gonna have to be so much space law done.
I think it'd be worth it now to study,
to become a space lawyer.
Space lawyer.
Well, there's a dude who's making millions and millions
of dollars because of that kind of thing,
the UN-Made of Resolution,
that no, you just remember here,
that no sovereign nation can claim any celestial body.
And a dude said, okay, I'm not a sovereign nation. I own the moon and he's been selling
Real estate on the moon for about three decades now and he's made millions of dollars
But he's not actually giving away any of the moon. He's he owns the moon
He's mapped the moon and he'll give you like a little part of it
He's giving you a little bit of paper, but you can't go and live on that bit of the moon for free, can you he owns the moon?
That's he's he has a claim that he owns the moon because he's the first person to claim sovereignty over it.
So who did he leave the moon to in his will?
I don't know if he's done things he's dead yet.
He's probably,
I think normally they won't tell us.
So I think normally they won't tell us when they're alive.
What's that?
I think people normally make rules when they're alive.
Can you imagine the estate tax on the moon?
Whoa, that cost!
Some, some lawyers gonna value,
some actuary has to value the moon.
I feel like that should screw him.
By him saying he owns the moon, he should have to pay some sort of tax on the moon. That's true.
Moon tax.
Are you paying?
Are you paying?
Well, it's the Earth.
You pay whoever it orbits.
You pay think I'm tax whenever he sells moon plots.
I'll look at that.
But isn't he registered his moon company on the moon
and then he wouldn't have to pay tax?
I'm like a guy who owns the moon.
Matt Kills on Twitter brings up an interesting point.
Okay.
You can sleep in a Lamborghini, but you can't race a house. Okay. I'm going to guy who owns the moon. Matt Kills on Twitter brings up an interesting point. Okay.
You can sleep in a Lamborghini, but you can't race a house.
You would not sleep in a Lamborghini.
You wouldn't want to.
And definitely wouldn't want to race a house though.
Do the seats even recline flat in a Lamborghini?
Probably not.
That reminds me of Emma Bennett one.
I've been recently informed of a whole subculture
of people who camp in their Teslas.
Are you familiar with this?
Oh yeah, camper mode. Yeah. What? What? who camp in their Tesla. Are you familiar with this? Oh yeah, camp remote.
Yeah.
What?
What?
They camp in their Tesla?
Yeah.
Because basically they're so efficient that you could run the battery all night and have
heat and air and et cetera, all the amenities.
And that's actually a good point because a lot of people have the like the free supercharging
as well.
Can you just pocket in one of those supercharges and live it?
I guess you could, but the cost of entry to do that
is just, you would-
Keep her in a house.
It is cheaper than I am.
Not myself.
She put the house in, you have no bills, apart from food.
Yeah, look at that.
But people are just doing this.
Positive, you never heard of this.
It's a sec, I've never heard of it.
There's no whole stuff right in it for it.
That is wicked.
It's just a mattress and a fucking trunk.
That's all it. You have power. You're not using gas. It's just a mattress and a fucking trunk. But it's all of it. You have power.
You're not using gas.
What power do you have?
You're battery.
You're not plugging in anywhere.
Exactly.
What's you running off your native battery?
Running what way?
Well, you're not running like blenders and and posters.
But like, you know, you live in your car.
You see to power your phone in a laptop.
She running AC in a LED light in the corner.
By the way, the lights in that car awful. They're like these little tiny little LEDs. Everything's like super efficient in a laptop. So you're running AC in a LED light in the corner. By the way, the lights in that car are awful.
They're like these little tiny little LEDs.
Everything's like super efficient in the car.
I get it, but it's just like,
there's way better stuff than that.
Like the people who have actual,
what's the, oh, damn it.
I just saw the other days,
like a little mini camper that you tow,
but it's so cool.
It's just like,
yeah, the little mini one.
And it has everything you need.
And then like, I mean, outside's got like a full kitchen
and everything.
Man, that's really cool.
I just feel like that culture's gone in the US.
Like to have it in Australia and New Zealand still,
that caravan culture, we just kind of don't have that
anymore in the US.
Like the road trip is not something.
Some people have this big win-up acres.
Yeah, but they're not, I don't think they're nearly
as popular.
And they don't really live in them.
It's like for jerks who like to drive across the country
from vacation. Well, okay, let's not go call for jerks who like to drive across the country for vacation.
Okay, let's not go call people jerks when they're like,
allegedly the jerks.
Let me read the stuff.
I don't want to park like 20 feet away.

Y organización no chaz.
¿Ralik?
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? I just like you work right it's like you know who your boss is right You know what you're doing right and never realize that you could have a workplace
That's dysfunctional enough that you don't know who reports to who or or what the chain of command is
It's like after the same that book like oh right every organization needs an org chart like it's just it's a no-brainer
It didn't make any sense to me before
I wonder who that company has the most people reporting to them.
Who's over you in your match?
And you're actually?
Or any company?
Yvonne, I think.
Is that you?
Yvonne or Matt?
I don't know.
I mean, technically everyone reports up to Matt, right?
So.
Yeah, but that's through other.
So you mean which company?
First degree of connection.
Yeah, has the most people under them.
I'm marketing.
What's the biggest department?
Probably animation.
You have a few, in the world.
We're still about any company.
Yeah, it's gonna be thousands, right?
Yeah, like is this someone who has 100,000 people beneath them?
I'm sure.
Oh, you mean 100,000?
Wait, 100,000?
No.
There's no way they call direct reports.
There's no way somebody has 100,000 direct reports.
Why?
Because that's impossible.
It's impossible. Like to be an efficient manager is like 5 and 10 people max 5 to 10.
And then you start fucking.
I think it's a double deposit call center.
We had like 20 to 30 that directly reported to us.
But they weren't all full time.
So they're like, I would call FTEs full time equivalents.
But that's such a garbage thing because management goes with people.
It doesn't go with hours, you know what I mean?
So I mean, you see, I mean, get some efficiencies, but so most of your management issues are you're fucking late.
If you have two parts I'm employed you got double the chance for that in one day. There are some people who are never late and
Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone
You're looking at me when you say that? Cause I'm late now.
No, no, I just,
I've learned to be late.
Matt has taught me to be late.
Matt's late all the time.
I had to do a thing with him last week,
and I was convinced he was going to be late.
I was like, I showed up to him on time,
and I was like, don't worry,
everyone here I know, Matt's probably going to be late.
He was only like two minutes late.
I was like, oh, holy shit.
I was like, I felt like an asshole
for calling him out for it.
He was very, it's a late though. Yeah, two minutes, that's not bad. Everyone, I feel like, oh, holy shit. I was like, I felt like an asshole for calling him out for it. He was very, it's a late though.
Yeah, two minutes, that's not bad.
Everyone, I feel like I build up mental buffers with people
and if we agree to meet a certain place,
I know how late to be with different people.
My brother always 30 minutes late.
Yeah.
Always get the text five minutes before time of eating,
saying, running late.
Like, I hung up with Ashley the other day,
gave it about 15 minutes
because I had to set a feeling. Oh did you call it Ashley? I looked around to make sure
she wasn't here but yeah. I would say put on makeup. I got to tell her half an hour early
for everywhere we're going. I would say Ezra may be 45 minutes. Yeah. So LA thing. LA teaches you
that it's okay to be late because everyone's late because of traffic. So anybody who's spent
any amount of time in Los Angeles,
punctuality just doesn't matter.
I just, I don't think you should ever be late enough
where someone could have completed an entire task
from beginning to end in the late period.
Well, I could have done a load of laundry
but I'm doing a lot of it.
What's a task though?
I don't know, I like it.
Like if I'm not doing something
because I don't have enough time to do it
and then the person's 45 minutes late.
What's it all been in there? Yeah, it's just like, that's so arbitrary. What if my task was to make this noise?
You can get that down. What's the shortest task other than
Like that's like a productive task
After loading the dishwasher like if you're going to meet someone like to eat and someone could have eaten in that amount of time
Then that makes sense
But I very rarely meet people to do my laundry.
How about the, if they're later than the amount of time
the thing your meeting for would take.
Like if they're more than 30 minutes late
to a 30 minute meeting.
I mean, at some point you're not late, you just never went.
Yeah, you missed it.
You just didn't, you can.
Like if someone were an hour late for dinner, fuck that.
Yeah, they're not allowed, they're not allowed late,
they just didn't show up.
Yeah.
Even if they show up. It's like you just, you just learn too.
It's like you learn that you can be late with certain people in certain scenarios.
Like you're late to certain productions and you're always right.
Yeah, you haven't figured out like, I know for this production of a show up 30 minutes
late, I'm on time.
You know, and you're right.
As you do that more, they try and make it so that you're wrong and late, bringing them up.
And eventually the situation breaks.
It dies.
Or they schedule you earlier.
Yeah.
They give you all the cash onto that.
But it is, it is really true that like,
it's weird the way things teach you how to work with them.
Like there's this thing in Austin that they have
and it happened this last weekend.
And they promote the shit out of them in local news.
It's usually around holidays and stuff like that.
And they say, this is a no refusal weekend.
And if you get pulled over and you're suspected
of drunk driving, you won't be able to refuse
a breathalyzer and a blood test.
You'll have to do it.
They'll have a, you'll get a court order
and you can like, they do it there on site or whatever.
All that has taught me is that I can apparently refuse
to take a breathalyzer and a blood test
every other day of the year.
And I've learned that because of the no refusal weekend.
Was the refusing a big enough problem to wear?
I knew people in the past who would refuse those tests.
You should refuse them.
And yeah, they would take the punishment.
It is legally more beneficial to refuse them.
If you don't, there's no upside for you to take the test.
There's no upside.
By the time they give you the test,
basically you're already under arrest.
There are a lot of blogs about it.
I can send you if you're interested.
The legal limit in the UK is zero, right?
Like zero tolerance. Is that a limit? Is there? Yeah. They're way
drunker than we are. I'm sorry. It's half of what the US is. But the whole messaging is different.
I've talked about this before and how I think it's backwards here that the messaging they put
up that this big signs on buildings is like, don't drink a drive. You get a ticket. You
go to jail. Whereas all of the messaging in the UK is like, don't drink a drive. You're
going to kill somebody,
kill yourself, you're gonna kill this person.
I was waiting for it this whole time.
It took a lot longer than I thought.
But then they'll show videos of people getting splattered
all over the place.
Which I think is way more effective.
Well, I'm afraid it's dry for a different reason
in that I don't wanna like get arrested.
Oh, really?
What?
Oh, for your visa.
Yeah, cause then it gets important.
I don't know.
It is, it is, it is one of the things like,
what's the upside?
I guess there is some upside to driving now.
Oh yeah, but if, if I just like lost,
I have stopped paying attention for two seconds,
then I have to leave the country.
I know people that, I know one person in particular
that he will not speak to a law enforcement officer.
He simply just will not speak. Is he a sovereign citizen? No, he just doesn't speak, because he has no speak to a law enforcement officer. He simply just will not speak.
Is he a sovereign citizen?
No, he just doesn't speak
because he has no obligation to speak.
I feel like that's gonna make him so suspicious.
Right, exactly.
But he just doesn't, if cops acknowledge him
or just say hello or whatever or asking him any questions,
he just just sit there and won't say anything.
It's your right to remain silent.
You don't have to say anything.
You don't have to answer any questions
or anything like that. But what if it's just someone checking in on something?
We mean checking in on someone.
It's not coming to our door and going, hey, how's everything going in here?
Like, a cop came out to him and was like,
did you see anyone come this way?
Or just be like...
How's it going today, sir?
Yeah, that's really suspicious.
You should only be taking in.
Just walk away.
And be way more inconvenienced by an investigation.
He's never been taken in.
You know, I think a lot of police officers know procedure and it's like there's no reason to
No probable cause they know they can't do anything. Most times.
God speaking of not talking. Have you seen mute? Have you all watched that?
I'm not. No, but I'm looking for the quiet place
The Emily Blunt movie that's coming out. I don't know anything about that.
Oh, you should watch Tratage Goal.
What's mute, like, is-
Don't want to be a fearing about it.
So bad.
Bad?
So bad.
It was Towers being the spiritual successor to Moon,
had high hopes.
That equates to a shitty cameo callback
that's like on a TV in a bar.
Is it made by the same people?
Yeah.
Duncan Jones?
Yes.
David Bowie, Jr.
Zoe Bowie.
Zoe Bowie, right? Didn't he make Warcraft, Jones? Yes. David Bowie, Jr. Zoe Bowie. Zoe Bowie, right?
Didn't he make Warcraft, too?
Yes.
That was like the beginning of his decision.
He's been China.
Did you, right?
He opened up, he talked about that recently,
a couple of weeks ago, about the conflict involved
between the studio, the game company and himself.
Like, dude, you can't hold a bad video game movie
against anybody.
There's never been a good one.
So at this point, what's a good video game?
Super Mario Bros.
Just get a fuck.
I made that exact same joke, like super fun costume.
We have the same discussion.
Obviously I haven't been.
Nah, that's not high five.
That's fine.
You only watch it when you're on, we get it.
We know how that is.
Yeah.
So it's good.
You gotta watch the chlorophyll paradox.
Can you really get in? Get in the car. The only person I know that said that. You gotta watch it. Look. You've got to watch the chlorophyll paradox. Can you buy the getting cars?
You're the only person I know that said that.
You've got to watch it.
I watch the time.
Can you imagine getting cars in that quiet place movie
and seeing the script and being like,
how many lines?
And then you actually get on set
and there's like a ton of intense acting to do.
You know, here's my experience.
I would look at my lines and I'd go,
Gavin's late.
Exactly how that would work. I would look at my lines and I go Gavin's late
We watched I showed you drive when I first came on a blu-ray over at my old first comment
I was like you can work stream of the movie. Yeah, you said that's the actors ultimate movie
Yeah, the whole movie the cameras on him and he doesn't have to say anything like close-up beauty shots
No lines to remember mm-hmm just walk around
It's like close up beauty shots, no lines to remember. Just walk around.
We like go to some of this.
I don't know, I don't know.
They go two different ways.
Like, we'll Smith at the beginning of I Am Legend.
That has to be like Tom Hanks in Castaway.
It's gonna be so fucking hard to be in a movie
all by yourself.
Yeah.
You hear about the breakdown that Ian McKellen had
in the Hobbit because there was no other actors around
and he was acting with green screens,
and like, people with ping pong balls on the head,
and he'd like freaked out about it.
Oh, really?
Yeah, just like, this is not why I became an actor.
But now, but then he volunteered to be
in the fucking Amazon Lord of the Rings thing, as Gandalf.
I got a little excited about that.
I have to admit, he just must've really liked
that character.
Yeah, or it's like maybe he's like, feels like,
or he likes to paycheck.
Yeah, that's true.
He did.
I gotta say, whoever fucking writes
the shadow of war, shadow of Mordor stories
for having to wedge an extra story into the Lord of the Rings
mythos, they do a fucking tremendous job. Yeah, really.
But they really do.
I've never seen like supplemental material made by another company that does so well.
Like maybe what's the what's the co-tour?
The Star Wars game that everybody fucking goes apeshit for.
That was really good.
Yeah.
I will say I felt like Shadow of War did it really well.
Once you're done with the game, there's a cutscene that kind of tries to place the timeline
within the movie franchise as well, and that was garbage.
Yeah, the track.
That didn't fit.
Right, no.
But all the other stuff I thought went really well,
but when they tried to tie the movie,
it was like, no, no.
We had a very movie heavy podcast without Jack Pettilla.
Oh, we saw a annihilation.
Yeah, we saw the other movie that people are talking about
besides Mew, which is annihilation. Yeah, we saw the other movie that people are talking about besides mute, which is annihilation.
Black Panther.
Black Panther is good.
So good.
She said the way my mom says would say it.
We went and saw the black Panther.
She was always a whisper.
Anytime she said any race was still ever.
Every single time.
You want to get some Chinese food? No, Blood Panther was really good.
I went in with high expectations and still satisfy some.
Such a good movie.
I thought some of the effects were a bit crap though.
What?
Yeah.
Where?
Like when they're all, there's the pond of fighting, I don't know the name of it.
And then all the people are like stood up on the cliff.
Okay.
Very colorful.
Yeah.
It looked a little bit sort of game of Thrones budget.
It looked a little, a little bit.
A little bit, the lighting, there was so much
bright on there.
I'll give it a little CD-Ramish.
That's what I was saying about that.
For some reason, I can't place what's weird about it.
When, it's not really spoiler,
the covering of his face was snow, right?
Yeah.
It looked like it was CG.
I think it was.
But then I was like, why didn't they just use ice shavings
and do that?
Or like something that looked like that.
It's such a will take eight.
It's just such a weird thing to do a visual effect.
Yeah, the snow did not look right.
It didn't look right.
And I assume it was way more expensive than just
I assumed it was like Styrofoam or something else.
Like, you didn't have the right texture.
I was like fake snow too.
Yeah, like fake Nanister, digital but fake. Yeah, like fake, not necessarily digital, but fake.
Yeah, and I can't let that stuff not take me at the moment.
I hate watching movies where I'm just like,
it's like a technical marvel.
I'm like, oh, completely.
I get sucked out.
I get sucked in and I'm sucked out.
I know that I can get a ton of like blonde,
which is in that bathtub with all the ice.
I know that's just lukewarm water and plastic cubes,
but I'm just like, it's so cold.
It'll be some access who would probably request real life.
Are you Christian Bill?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or the Daniel Day Lewis.
Mm-hmm.
But I thought Michael B. Jordan was really good as Killmonger.
I think Killmonger was,
Hey, the name.
Probably the best villain.
Do you like Rai's manga?
Yeah, I do.
But probably, and I don't even know if the villains
right word, we were talking about this earlier,
probably the best antagonist in the entire Marvel universe.
Although, and that says a lot to me
because I have a huge problem with villains
in the Marvel universe, every fucking first movie
in every franchise is basically, here's the good guy,
and here's the bad guy who's exactly like him. You know what I mean?
It's like you have, like, Ayan Manga.
Winter Soldier and Captain America.
Yeah, you've got Ayan Manga and Iron Man.
Yeah, Spider-Man and Spiderman and Spoderman.
I'm not exactly right.
But it's like, I just,
it's one of the things I think Marvel has always
kind of suffered from is that the villains are like,
Joker and Batman, they're like flip sides
at the same coin, sure, but they're not the same, it's like Joker's not
wearing a white bat suit, you know.
In fact, it's the flip side of his own coin.
They is, that's making an excellent point there, you know.
I mean, you do have stuff like Bizarro Superman,
but he's not the domain nemesis of Superman.
That's a, what's the thing?
Like Sluthorus, yeah.
It's a big green rock.
Yeah.
Even the Fantastic Four is Dr. Doom.
You know, it's like, we don't need to have the exact same, like, evil version of the
good guy for every single movie.
We don't have to have that.
So, Fantastic Four at this point is just an audition movie for being in the Marvel Universe.
Way better.
Dude, he's so fucking good.
He's so fucking good in this.
Who's ripped?
I love that character.
Dude, he's like the perfect physical specimen.
And it's aside from all the lumps.
Ah, it's just decoration at that point.
That's cosmetics.
Yeah, those kills, was that what that was?
Right, yeah.
But he's still, I think it was just gonna be retweeted
about like he's got the long ones across his chest.
It's like, what is the difference with those
versus the bumps?
He's torture.
He's torture. Yeah, Yeah, he may last.
But I really love that character.
And it's a great movie.
I'll tell you,
it made me think of Charles Xavier and Magneto.
It's like, obviously they set up
in the X-Men universe at Magneto's a villain,
but it's just two different perspectives on the world
and two different approaches to an end.
I'm so glad they could do that.
Someone.
What's that?
The Holocaust will do that.
Yeah, being wronged in general.
What do you think is a good origin for any villain?
Maybe if you want him to be sympathetic.
Yeah, they got wronged in some way.
This veta movie looks weird.
Tom Hottie.
Yeah.
Looks like it's going the opposite way of most of these super
hero movies where they start with a departure like Deadpool the first Deadpool appearance was so weird. We have no mouth and the blade hands
Yeah, and then they finally figured out. Oh, we can do more with this character and we'll do their true story from the comics
Venom it seems like they're going the other way
Hmm, like even though they they used to for grace for venom in Spider-Man 3 man
That is a dated casting call right there.
Yeah, that's that one.
And what's the name of the characters?
It becomes venom Eddie Brock,
any comic people here?
I think Eddie Brock why he left.
Tom Hardy's a way better to fit for that.
Yeah.
But the stuff that's showing in the trailer
does not look anything like the origin story for venom.
What does that come out?
I don't think it's pretty soon.
October 5th. Oh, that's far away. What are you mostly looking forward to?'m gonna come out. I don't think I'm gonna come out. I don't think I'm gonna come out. I don't think I'm gonna come out. I don't think I'm gonna come out. I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm gonna come out.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon.
I don't think I'm pretty soon. I don't think I'm pretty soon. I don't think I'm pretty soon. I don't think I'm pretty soon. I don't think I'm pretty soon. Infinity, I was shit about right there. Back at what about you, what are you looking forward to? Uh, death, no, uh.
I, my focus down that.
I have like TV shows, that's really all I've got.
Cause I can't really go to the movies that much.
So, can you read the hubbub between Sarah Jessica Parker
and King Control?
No, I saw someone tweet about that,
I don't care about that show.
It was, it was a dish.
I worked this,
April, right?
That's exactly what you,
what's up with April?
What's world? No. No, is it really oh?
Sort of a big I
That's an April 22nd. I bought that on blu-ray. What West world. Yeah, never showed up
That huh. Yeah, so I bought it on 4k and it didn't I just realized I didn't I never got it
But what's your mother figure? Yeah, I'm looking forward to see you thieves
We had it's it is Gavin it solves such a huge problem in our house Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing these.
We had, it is Gavin, it solves such a huge problem in our house.
It's the one game that everyone in our house will play, which is that's all I care about.
Interesting.
I can always lose one person from every game.
Who'd you lose from PUBG?
Ashley, do you want to play PUBG?
I heard you're off PUBG.
Who's that?
I got some inside info.
Who's that JD tell you that? I don't know. I don't want to name my name. They're mad at me Who said it would? Ooh. I got some inside info. Who's the JDCell you that?
I don't know.
I don't want to name my name.
They're mad at me about the microtransaction.
But I hear you're on another game.
I've been playing Fortnite.
That's what I hear.
But I'm done, I think.
Oh, that's not what I heard.
It's...
Let me explain.
They have stuff that's pretty smart.
Like they do daily rewards and daily challenges.
They probably could use some of that in PUBG, you know?
Also, it's a lot easier to play a match of Fortnite
than Battlegrounds.
Battlegrounds, you're committing half an hour.
Fortnite, dude, seriously, three minutes.
Three or four minutes.
The map, you can literally-
Are you that bad?
Well, if you go hard, yeah, if you just go running in,
but even if you play like a full one,
it's maybe like 15 minutes.
I like the creep.
I like the slow burn.
I like the slowness.
Sometimes I don't have time to do that.
And I like, I'm dedicating my time.
I'm gonna have this block of time
and I'm gonna dedicate to PUBG
and I'm gonna slow burn my way through it.
And at the end, if I win, it's a huge accomplishment.
And if I don't, it's fucking anger
to fuel the next round.
But the problem with my anger and PUBG
that sustained me for a while when I wasn't doing well,
then that turned into a feudal anger
because I was getting killed by hackers' console.
Oh, yeah.
And that seems like it's died off a little bit.
There was like a two-week period there.
It was like, why am I even playing this game?
I think that is really derailed
to their development roadmap.
Yeah, I've done it as.
So would you say that if you didn't play a game of PUBG and then someone was half an hour late,
you'd be annoyed?
Yes, that would be annoyed by that.
I want to be perfectly clear.
Battlegrounds is a far superior game to Fortnite.
You know, Fortnite, they did kind of tag this Battle Royale thing on the end of
care when anybody says, I was at their E3 presentation, like a month before they came out.
And I mean, the fact that they had the model set up where it's going to be retail for
a certain amount of time and then we're moving it to free to play.
That is like, we have no faith in this game, basically.
Even if something has that on the horizon or they have that in the roadmap, they're all
, they're almost saying, like, we don't expect this thing to last very long.
Then the Battle Royale thing came, completely saved that game. It's now even more popular than battlegrounds
is on Twitch. I just it's I I could play Fortnite where they can't build stuff. I'd like that
better and I know it's very core to the game, but it's really just it kind of blows the
whole shooter thing out of the water. You just got to be really good at building ramps
and these little columns as fast as you fucking can.
And I was just like, I don't have any interest in getting good at that.
Can you make a room that game?
I don't know if you can or not.
I don't know if you can or not.
I would like to see if it's maybe different on console.
But man, in PC, it's like literally, you know, if somebody gets out in the open in battlegrounds
and you kind of like way from the clear to where they get nothing they can hide behind.
And then you start to open fire on them.
It's like in battlegrounds like bang.
And of course, I'm shitty at aiming.
So it's like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
try to hit this fucking person.
Infortone, it's bang, wall, wall, wall, wall.
And you're like, oh, god.
And then you, the, the, the you have cover everywhere you go.
Imagine that in battleground.
You can literally just like make cover.
And it can just like crawl and make cover the whole way
like in front of you that way you're constantly.
Yeah.
You can like, you can put like a F1 which is a vertical wall and then you can just if you
have enough wood, which usually do by the middle of the game, you just like run and just build yourself
the path to go. And you have to like time it a little bit because the early stages they can blow up
the wall if they know you're going that way, but not really. I mean, it's just like the cover thing
just drives me nuts. And you run to those players who they've spent a lot of time in Fortnite.
They're very good at it.
And then the moment that you shoot it, then get the drop on them or whatever,
it doesn't matter because they just all of a sudden they just build a fortress in like two seconds.
So with that game not work without the building.
I would like to try it without the building.
I'm just saying to be great if there was a mode that I could play where there's no building.
I just like to see that.
Bed burns?
Yeah.
It might be garbage.
It might be not be any fun whatsoever, you know?
Also, there's definitely parts of the game
that you couldn't do without building.
Like they'll hide chests in house.
That's cool mechanic in that game.
We can hear chests, they hum.
But like they'll be in the ceiling sometimes.
So you have to like break it and build a ramp
and get up there.
And you wouldn't be able to get to those things.
So there may be only build inside.
Maybe.
I don't know.
So it's a problem for some other developer to fix.
People love the game.
So do you find that stuff that was fixed in history
when you were a child?
It's very hard to,
when something changes, it's very hard to remember when that thing was.
What the hell did you just ask?
So my example for this, that I was trying to figure out what it is that always confused me about it.
When was Pluto declassified?
Not that long ago, within the last 10 years.
I want to say like, 05 or 06.
Yeah, you're exactly right. I just always think
it's much more recent thing. And I'm like, I know, it's over a decade ago. Yeah, because
it was, it was like a planet. And then it was removed. I always think of it as like, that's
a new thing that's happened. But I'm just older. I want to know what the new,
nomonic device is for remembering remembering remembering the planets. What was it before?
There was some variation, but I was at my very educated mother just served us nine pies not cooked
Serious nine pies. Yeah, sometimes they say pizza. They serve us noodles
Yeah, so I want to know what what is it?
I just get it only a
I'm an astronomer with the official one. Yes, such a snooze
Surely it's just like remembering phone number. There's only eight things
Yeah, that's where I remember.
I don't remember the fucking planets.
Yeah.
We have right, but I don't have any special way of remembering the planet order.
I just know them because there's only so many.
Yeah.
I think there's an official one because I think the Neil deGrasse Tyson is going to be
like, so we visited.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mars. You know, do you feel like what is he doing? Did you see I saw this thing earlier today that
was this a company made a vibrator that orders pizza for you automatically? What? What when you're
done? Right. That way when you're done using it, uh, delivery to your people shows up. No,
I should start the order at the start the order at the moment you start using it.
And that way when you're done, what if you do some tension?
It's a dominant piece of tracker.
It connects to dominant.
What it says, uh,
the dominant is no, that it's like a, a jack off pizza.
No, I think it just goes to like there, their web ordering system.
I'm guessing like what I'm reading here is that. The awkward delivery.
It's got a separate pizza order button on it as well.
So you could probably start and hit that button
when you start and it connects
via Bluetooth to your phone.
I would just order that thing as a pizza button.
It's like, I have a magnet on it on your fridge.
I feel like pizza, I have bone, wrong button.
I love, I feel like that's the kind of thing that makes me feel like we live in the future.
It's like, that's it.
Rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub rub.
God.
I really wish Barbara were here to comment on this.
She'll always be grub rub because then there'll be like grub hub.
That woman went home from work that day.
That orders.
And someone said, what did you do at work today?
She said nothing at all.
Never asked me about it again.
She's holding a vibrator in a piece of pizza.
Or that's the greatest day of work ever.
I don't know about that.
I got paid to sit around holding a vibrator
and pretending like I was eating pizza.
That's a great thing.
By the long stretch.
It's pretty much.
It's a day.
Pretending to eat pizza.
Are you right?
It'll only be better if she ate pizza.
Hey, do you think a gold medal
is the most useless of the great human achievements?
Like, you spend your whole life and then you get this gold medal and then...
We also get a lot of money. Do you? Yeah.
The cash prize with gold medal, isn't it? I don't know. You can sell your gold medal.
It's gold medal, right? I'm pretty sure it's like hundreds of thousands of dollars to
win a gold medal. I don't think it that's true. Gold medal cash.
That seems like... Can't they not accept money?
Like if somebody said three winter Olympics ago,
they got a gold medal in cross country skiing.
Your reaction to that would be,
eh cool, right?
I mean, it's like really, really hard to achieve.
It is really cool, but it's like,
it's a, what got me thinking about this this was you see where the curling team wrote to Delta.
And they said, hey, we just want a gold medal. How about some upgrades and Delta what nah, but we'll see you on the flight. Congrats on the gold medal.
So there is a cash prize associated with it. How much?
The US Olympic Committee, so this isn't the US we pay people. We That makes sense the US Olympic Committee awards 25,000 dollars for gold medals should be way more 15,000 dollars for silver and 10,000 dollars for
Bro, it doesn't cover your fucking trip that also you must pay state and federal
Taxes as well dude if the government gives you money
There's no way you should be have to pay tax on money you get from the government. It's the US Olympic Committee
That's the government that's got you selling for committee. That's the government.
That's got us in it.
That's a private company.
US bank has US in it.
What US bank?
Is that a bank?
US bank?
That's the same way bank.
If they give me money, I'm not paying taxes on it.
American allies.
I pay all my taxes all the time.
I pay more than I should.
Oh, and Olympians have to pay tax on the value of the metals themselves.
Hey, you not.
Yes.
That's horrible.
And the gold medal is more for the gold.
About $570.
That's it.
Yeah, we all know it's not real.
So it's just gold, play it.
Wow.
I did do that.
That's a pie right.
I used to work with a guy who has silver medal.
He's not taxed.
He's negligible.
Can you imagine finding that out?
We're not going to tax on this thing, this bronze medal.
It's just a big penny.
Did you like, I think Japan, when their citizens
would turn 100, they would give them a silver plate
at the government?
And now, Japan has so many old people, over 100,
that they had to scale back the quality.
It's now a silver plated plate because it was basically
costing their government like $10 million a year
or something to support this program.
You were a US equivalent of that, like anything like that.
Shout out to your Medicare Spires.
What's that?
Your Medicare expires?
Yeah, exactly.
You don't get any healthcare.
That's the American way.
So I had the thing where, first of all,
there's a game I want to tell you about you should play.
Tell me.
It's a deck building game.
You like deck games, right?
It combines.
Absolutely.
Deck guild deck building and roguelite games.
So it's like you just do a run through the game.
I don't know what that means.
You understand?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
It's called slay the spire.
Get it and play it. You like it I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you mean. It's called slay the spire. Get it and play it.
You'll like it.
I think you'll like it.
FTL is a rogue-like game.
You just boot up FTL?
You play FTL?
No.
10 out of 10 on the team.
That's actually though.
That's why I bought it, Gus, because I had such high reviews in the strategy section.
And I'm really enjoying it.
It's early access, but it's good enough for me.
I don't think I've gotten to the parts of the game where you can't unlock stuff yet.
I played Paypal's Please Again the other day.
So good, now they had that short film came out.
People have been tweeting at me,
people have been tweeting at me nonstop
about that fucking short film.
I haven't seen it yet either.
I'm gonna watch it, stop tweeting it to me.
I gotta look up the name of somebody here.
Only the UK, Sweden, and Norway
do not give success paths
for Olympic medals, according to Peter Hayes.
And Norway dominates the Winter Olympics.
Denmark has like three winter Olympics medals
total ever.
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
But their neighbor has something like 300 Nade.
Yeah, but they're further away.
So I guess they're the neighbor,
but it rarely snows in Denmark.
Like it snows, it rarely snows enough for like winter sports.
Is that true? Yes.
Well, they explained it then. Right.
I guess that is, but you make it a fine.
Not necessarily financially worth winning gold medals just for the like insane
sponsors deals you get.
Yeah.
And for the personal pride, sense of accomplishment.
We're really discounted.
Yeah. You get like one of the best things a human can do.
And like the best in your.
My, I used to, I lived, you used to live in an apartment
over 10 years ago and my downstairs neighbors
were silver medalists for swimming.
I forget what they did.
I forgot like which swimming competition,
but I've seen like an Olympic medal.
Yeah, I used to work with a guy who's on the US sailing team
in Barcelona and he had a silver medal.
And I lived across the street from a guy
who's dominated the last summer Olympics.
You just attract Olympians.
I know, it's so weird.
Has Michael won a medal in the Olympics?
No, I wish.
I make it more cool.
What could he win a medal in?
Swimming.
Math.
He's a really good swimmer.
He can hold his breath underwater swimming.
There's no such thing.
He doesn't look like a swimmer. I would totally enter underwater swimming. I would totally underwater swimming. Yeah. Can you
put your feet on the bottom and push? Because I would do that. Feel on the bottom. You just go up.
Nah, you can run along the bottom and pull. I'm not fussing swimming against the water. Yeah,
Bet you I could run the bottom. So you say you could sprint along the bottom. I'm not running
sitting upright. I'm swimming and using the bottom to push. Yeah, I can beat you in underwater race. Absolutely. I
Think it's bullshit
So I'm just gonna be swimming. Yes
He can't hold his breath long enough for this. I fucking give it hold my breath as much longer than you
No, no, no, I can't bullshit. I also holding your breath is one of the things like cardio
Where if you practice it you can build it up really really quickly
But pushing you're pushing off you're just gonna be slipping like this. Oh, you're totally right Kevin
He's full shit. You may waste much energy touching the bottom when you could just be kicking against the war
I'm gonna film this we gotta film
Grips dumps instead of me I just got feet regular feet
All right, we're gonna wrap this up. I want to tell my story real quick. All right
I get to those two stories.
I wanna thank somebody on the podcast.
Why would you like me to use an audible?
Free stuff, you're just like,
you know, it's for your birthday,
a gentleman on steam, I assume a gentleman,
that was a sumptive.
Named Mickey Omen, that's probably not how you pronounce it.
How would you pronounce it?
Oh, I know, okay.
Mac, I know him.
Mac-Omen?
Yeah. How do you say that? No, I mean the guy. Mac. I know him. Mac Yomon?
Yeah.
No, I mean his name's like.
It's MCYOMM.
I'm just gonna say MacYomon.
I'm gonna say MacYomon.
He tried to reach out to you for your birthday.
He got for you.
I guess he opened it.
I'm gonna assume he opened it and then pay for it.
He got one of the rarest items in battlegrounds,
but you wouldn't return any of his messages on steam.
I did, so he sent it to me instead. On steam. Yeah. I didn't get any messages on steam.
That said, he was trying to get hold of you. Pretty sure that's his username on the RTC too.
You probably just don't have probably don't have my friends open to to non-friends.
So he sent me he sent me the white leather hoodie. Oh,
$140 damn. I didn't. I'm gonna assume that he got it through a box
and that he didn't pay for it.
I would never have taken it,
if he paid for it.
I'm gonna stick to that.
Do you know what he's saying?
Does anybody else have anything else to budget?
You know, I even play in the game anymore.
I play the game.
I like the game better than before.
I play some Fortnite.
I also play the Slaire this fire.
Now what I heard.
I know who told you that, JD?
I'm not gonna say fucking word.
I'm gonna betray.
I got moles inside the burns, the burns palace.
It's probably gonna be ass.
They're very upset with me for playing that amount.
Ashley.
Okay, so let me tell the story about Uber.
And then I can tell the story that leads into story
about Ashley really quickly.
Get time for this.
So the other day we had the million dollars
but season five rat party.
It was a very nice party.
Would you say Gavin?
You went to that one.
The location was I feel like I had an obligation
to go to that because it's a Rat Party.
I wanted to go, there was pizza, but I did not go.
VIA 313 pizza, excellent.
So I thought, I was already home, I thought,
I wanna go out and actually have a couple beers,
so I'm gonna take an Uber instead of driving myself there.
So I went to go take an Uber. Uber left.
Uber.
But I shouldn't use Uber.
We bring it up a lot.
I really, I shouldn't use Uber.
I was right off the road.
I'm an asshole because it's a me.
I switched to life.
I should change.
She was right, right off the road.
But I went to go meet the driver
of my ride share service of choice.
And he texted me and said I'm here and I said, okay.
And where I live there's's not all, like,
the worst getting picked up,
there's not a lot of street lights.
And so it was dark and I had my jacket on,
I had my baseball cap on.
I go and open the door and the guy goes,
are you Bernie?
And I go, yeah, yeah, you're looking for Bernie,
he goes, yeah, pulls away.
While I'm standing there with my hand on an open door,
he just like guns it and takes off.
So I like to go the door, the door shuts on its own,
and he just drives away.
And I was like, what,
and there was a car kind of coming the other way down the street,
and it kind of felt like he was trying to get out of that person's way.
So I thought, all right, well, I'll text this guy through the app.
I was like, hey, you left me on the side of the road.
And standing here, no reply at all, zero reply. And I wait just for the hell of it.
I wait five to 10 minutes. He's he's halfway to the destination on the GPS.
Just driving there. The trip started and I'm like, what in the world won't answer my phone
calls or anything? So far, I just go, all right, cancel the trip and I canceled it.
And I'm sure that when I canceled it, he probably would, why did you cancel the ride,
and he's like, he was so under what the fuck happened to me.
I was really kind of gonna go all the way.
And I actually think that he thought you were in the car
when he drove off.
There's a noticeable give when someone sits in your car.
Yeah.
He should not have been attention.
Wow.
What if the trip canceled, he looked back
and was so amazing, just swelves all
the way?
That was crazy.
It was so long.
But I was so like, and then I got another ride to go to this party.
And what I got there, I was telling people the story.
And Ashley was there and I met Ashley.
She went out with the Gavin for drinks earlier and I met them at the party.
And I remember as Barbara Trevor,
I think Miles was there too.
And I'm telling this story about the Uber,
and I just say, ask the same name,
and next to me, I got my arm around her.
And she's like fidgeting like this.
And I'm just talking and telling this story.
And she's like, keeps fishing.
And eventually she just like literally takes her hand
and pushes me away.
And I go, what is the problem?
And she says, you're trying to undo my bra.
And I didn't realize this while I'm telling the story.
I'm just like, I'm like, why the weird muscle memory?
I was just trying to unhook her bra with my left hand like absent mind.
It was.
I don't know.
I'm not idea.
I was so apologetic about it,
but I was also laughing pretty hard too,
because I realized, oh yeah,
I've been trying to unnote your bra
while I've been telling you stories.
And I had,
I mean, you've been through a traumatic experience,
you like didn't know whether you were in the car or not.
So you're just, your mind was somewhere else.
I needed to make sure that I existed.
I needed to embrace life.
I had a similar thing with, with Lyft, where,
I don't actually get to the car.
He just went right by where I was.
And then he just kept driving away.
I was like, oh, he's missed the turn.
I assume he's gonna.
Nope, he's keeping, oh, always on the highway.
Now he's going to the destination without me.
So I texted him, I was like,
I never got in the car.
You're going to the where I'm going.
You didn't pick me up.
He didn't reply.
He went all the way to the destination,
kept going past that. And then just drove around. You're going into the where I'm going. You didn't pick me up. He didn't reply. He went all the way to the destination,
kept going past that, and then just drove around.
And then eventually, after about 40 minutes,
because I didn't cancel it,
because I don't think, I don't know
how to cancel a trip on lift.
While you're on the trip, it just did ride in progress.
So I was like, you think something,
I mean, the car apparently, so I just left it,
then switched to Uber, and then actually went where I was going.
About an hour later, he ended the trip and I looked on the map.
He went all the way down south by the old office and ended up in Round Rock.
So was he just dragging it?
And then I was like, because he would, he texted me back in that time and he was like,
oh, sorry, I had another rider.
I was like, that's not possible.
But no rider would want that path that you took. that time and he was like, oh, sorry, I had another rider. I was like, That's not possible.
But no rider would want that path that you took.
Because he went to like four different places
and ended up like, he went,
Do you minding him?
And then it up miles and all.
Do you think he started taking rides on another platform?
Oh, maybe.
Right, and that he didn't, he forgot that one.
Like that one wasn't giving him new rides
because he was on a ride and he was taking up,
picking up riders on a different platform. Maybe. That's the only thing I could want to bet awesome is if he got me on Uber as well
The other day I had I had a couple weird ones when we did the podcast on Monday
I took a ride share down to the to venue. I had a driver who spoke no English, which was the first time I ever had that
And then the other day I had one who
which was the first time I ever had that. And then the other day I had one who,
I put in my address for pickup, they came and they parked
like down the street and around the corner
like I'm at your place.
I'm like, nope, I'm not there.
Like no, I'm outside, like I'm standing on the street.
I'm not there.
Like where are you?
Like I'm at one, two, three, you know, my street.
I'm on the pin.
He's like, oh, where is that?
It's at one, two, three, my street.
He's like, oh, okay, well I'm gonna turn on the street. Is it right or the left? If you take a right, you's at one, two, three, my street. He's like, oh, okay, well, I'm gonna turn on the street.
Is it right or the left?
If you take a right, you get to one, two, three, my street.
It's like, it's in, you're fucking GPS.
Just look at the fucking app.
You fucking idiot.
It's texting me on the device that will tell you this.
Right, like, I know you have the information in front of you.
I put it in, I dragged the pin to make sure
it was in the exact right spot.
It's just so frustrating when I was just really annoyed
at the lift app, because I was like,
I have to download a different app.
I can't, I like, force quit.
I looked for all these other ways to exit the trip
and I just couldn't.
It made that app completely useless.
I assume you had to, like 60 bucks.
Yeah, I assume you had to then go through an appeals process.
I did, I went through customer service
and I was, I was guys are more on,
it's guys are the idiot thing. I had to classify mine as driver was driving dangerously because he drove away when I was like standing there
I ran over my feet or something but I had to put put something so I put that I would love to know what happened with yours
Like did he think I would you I did you just suddenly realized you had to be somewhere else
I don't know maybe I freaked him out because it was dark that night and there was no moonlight out.
It was really dark.
How shifty were you looking?
Did you try and undo his bra?
I think I might.
I didn't try to undo his bra.
What about his drug strap?
Was that a thing?
No.
No, that was happening.
I didn't have long enough with him
for him to tell a story
and be like,
you should be like,
maybe your dick was out of something.
I'm just familiar with your dick.
You just didn't realize.
I hope this is a tweet someone said. There's no no way that's it's gonna be like twice as slow
Yeah, you crazy. It's no, it's not even more than twice as slow
