Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now now only on peacock Hey everyone, welcome to the Ristief podcast. Welcome this week brought to you by Dollar Shave Club and the Mummy. Welcome. I'm Gus. I'm Blaine. I'm Becca. I am Bernie. And I'm Gus.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Oh, three Bs of a G. I was gonna say it's a shame your name's not Bus. I'm Bus. Bus Barola. I'm glad you hear Bernie. You hear Bernie twice. It'd be a double Decker bus. I'm glad you're here.
Starting point is 00:01:19 What? Mr. Too Good to confirm. I know. Is it gonna be on the podcast? I was checking you as early as this morning. I was like, is Bernie confirmed? Is he in? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:01:27 Everyone's asking me, is Bernie gonna be here? Is Bernie gonna be here? What, I'm on the calendar, aren't I? You're on the calendar as a maybe. Oh, okay, so listen. And you also not replying to my text messages? No, no, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Your life is about to get so much easier when regards to me. You're texting the wrong person. Should we be texting Ellie? Yes. Patrick, how did that go? Did Ellie didn't respond? Nobody's responding, Bernie.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I'll be back. Oh shit. Ellie's in the... So I was excited because it's one less person. You have talked to me, but I realize Ellie's a person too. It's a... She's a half person. We were very worried about whether or not Bernie
Starting point is 00:02:05 was gonna be here. And then maybe on the calendar for the podcast, doesn't mean no good. It's like, I need the seat filled regardless. So it's like, well, shit, if he's not here, who am I gonna get to sit here? No, maybe he means a very specific thing in my calendar. What does it mean?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Maybe he means, hold the day, and then it should be confirmed and go to yes. Okay, once, once, once. It's something better coming up. Then he'll take that. Yeah, he'll take that. No, they used to do this thing in my counter or they'd put holds, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:30 because you were in live action. And live action was a producer, so I don't know. Live action would do it for like a week. They'd say we're holding this whole week. And then I would find out the week of, they don't need me on Monday, they don't need me on Tuesday, they need me on Thursday, but it's like,
Starting point is 00:02:42 I've held the whole week. And now it's like, you send me a time, I'll put maybe on it and then that. Well, what live action does, sorry, Blake, is they'll block your week. I don't do this. And then they'll come down and they'll block two days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And then they'll block one day and then they'll go to an hour. Yeah. It's like, you fucked me all week long for this hour. It's location stuff, man. It's hard, you know, it's coordinating all that. Yeah. We're just trying to get it in like, you're like's hard. You know, it's coordinating all that. Yeah. We're just trying to get it in like you're like generally nowhere and when we're going to be shooting.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yeah, but it's like the rest of the week is just like jam packed and then that day's like, oh, shit. Now, I've like, I got nothing today except for this one hour. Well, it's awesome. Yeah. Live it. Let's get into the inter-departmental weeds of Rue Shriteet here for a second. So one of the things that people like to do on a regular basis is bitch about the live action scheduling.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Like, oh, live action took me away from my job for a day or something like that, whatever. Basically, what everyone complains about, and achievement 100, they're the biggest bitches about this, is they're like, oh, I only had, I only had these people for 90% of this week, you know, every single week, but it's like, if live action or somebody takes them for 10% of the time. You know, every single week, but it's like, if live action or somebody takes them
Starting point is 00:03:46 for 10% of the time, then it's a calamity, and it's all over. But you walk in there, any other time you're the 90%, either all of them are a lunch or they're all just sitting there doing nothing. And it's like, all right, I guess this 10% is really holding you guys back from success. This is what's happening.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So I'm gonna comment on this. But the real reason we brought Blaine out here, holding you guys back from success. This is what's happening. Should I get a comment on this? Ha ha ha ha ha. But the real reason we brought Blaine out here, slowly roast you. Yes, scheduling. In your department. I got a laser team thing, right before a laser team two, they were complaining, still complaining about laser team one.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I was like, that was three years ago. Three fight was a month, three years ago. Shut the fuck up. God damn it, shut up. Everybody's protected from their schedule, they're the calendar. And then fucking some of them don't even use our calendar. I'm still getting mad at Gavin
Starting point is 00:04:29 for not fixing his fucking calendar. I do, and Ellie and I were still working out the bugs, but yeah, we'll be a lot easier to deal with. I'm using We Now, we're a collective. Yes. It's been a lot harder, so we'll see. We, we will see. Well, to be fair, this is an off day for the podcast,
Starting point is 00:04:44 and I am coming in from out of town We are I should note that we are pre taping since it's Memorial Day and we get Memorial Day off now So roll the first clip Fucking fucking city of Austin has now or I guess Travis County now has authorized fireworks from Memorial Day fireworks sells for Memorial Day No Fiery eyes fireworks from the more real day fireworks sells for more Ill day. Yes. No Got dogs bullshit. Oh, you got dogs. Yeah, fucking hate fireworks and I got and I've got asshole neighbors I don't know where they are like two or three blocks behind me who buy like the big commercial kind that rattle your house So lucky that's the next jack I can't so I can't like why do we need to be able to pop fireworks on the moral day? What's the rationale fuck? I don't tell. Oh yeah. So I can't, like why do we need to be able to pop fireworks
Starting point is 00:05:25 on Memorial Day? What's the rationale? Fuck, I don't even like, why do we need to pop fireworks period? I don't like that we do it in fourth of July or New Year's Eve, but whatever, people already do that. Why are we adding more fireworks days? Is there really a need for that?
Starting point is 00:05:37 To be clear, fourth of July is legal to pop fireworks than, right? Not in the city of Austin, but in Travis County. But during Memorial Day it is. Now it is. Wait, in Austin or Travis County? Sorry, Travis County. I said city of Austin but in Travis County. But during Memorial Day it is. Now it is. Wait, in Austin or Travis County. No, sorry, Travis County. I said city of Austin at first.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I meant Travis County. Okay, so I'm very confused. Memorial Day, it's legal to pop fireworks in Travis County, not Austin. Correct. Okay, it is, it is, it is never legal to pop fireworks in Austin, only in Travis County. But in Travis County. But you live in Austin. Oh yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I do. I mean, not to, but not my, not, I also live in Travis. Oh, yeah, I do. To a Venn diagram. I mean, not to. But not to. I also live in Travis County, as my neighbors will probably very quickly point out. But it's not legal in Austin. I can help you with this. I don't understand what he's saying. People are popping fireworks in Austin regardless of whether it's legal or not. But what I'm complaining about is the fact that now fireworks stands are open and selling
Starting point is 00:06:20 fireworks so my asshole neighbors can buy fireworks and pop them. Yeah, it's a good one. One more real day. Super far south to get the fireworks. Well Becca is also from South Texas, like you. So you guys must be happy. This is like a fireworks are a downgrade from people just firing guns into the air. Well that happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, I have neighbors who shoot guns. I think you can. Yeah, yeah. I live on an interesting street. They go out like, like, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, somebody said, I don't, I hope on an interesting street. They go out like you. Like that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Somebody said, I don't, I hope they're blanks, but they're probably not. Like do you just see your bullets? Like, just like, just like, gunshots on New Year's Eve. Just, cack cack cack cack. Those are weird guns. Yeah. It's a strange silencer.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Oh, oh, sideways. Yeah. Listen, whatever I see people doing that in videos, I'm like, you fucking idiot. You're finding bullets into the air God damn morons if I was that one of those parties. I'm totally Absolutely have a gun in each hand firing away. That would be so much fun to do that just once in my life Go to a range To go I would do a range and I went to the range to start firing in the air
Starting point is 00:07:23 That we get shot in two seconds. The moral of the story is you shouldn't be doing that. You shouldn't be doing that. I don't know. I mean, why should other people get to do it? And I don't. That's the question. What's your role of you will get to murder and I don't?
Starting point is 00:07:35 What's the logic here? I know. I'm just one murder. No big deal. Everyone else keeps them late. Everyone else keeps them late. Fucking, who's got the high scores? Is it still like Ted Bundy?
Starting point is 00:07:44 Oh, I don't know. Is it, are serial killers a uniquely American thing? No. I guess Jack the Ripper. It's a pretty much a white male thing though. Like white dudes. No. White dudes.
Starting point is 00:07:58 There's like famous females that have. Just one. But mostly white people, and way mostly dudes. It's cute. Yeah. Uh, that was at the night stocker. He was Hispanic. I think. Like Richard.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Callin' out, Gus. Romitas Rodriguez. What was his name? Hmm. You came out, son of Sam? Margas son of Sam? It's David Berkowitz. No, okay, I think he's called the night stocker.
Starting point is 00:08:19 He was like, The night stocker was Boston, right? Or like the Northeastern, right? I was at the Boston Strait. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern. I was at the Northeastern.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I was at the Northeastern. I was at the North Strait. I was blown out of the nurses' fucks. They all blend together. I was down a wiki hole, Wendy. There's no delineation. If you're a serial killer, do you get to pick your name? Is it like a serial killer thing? Or does the media give that to you? Richard Ramirez.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I also like that it's connected to the city that you live in. So like what if you're like the Kalamazoo strangler? It's like, fuck. It's even cooler. The Tri-State Tickler. It was a cooler. The tri-state tickler. It was the Los Angeles area, and later San Francisco. Oh, there we are. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I just thought of a great way to get back. Wow, I'm a big difference there. We're number one. Oh, Canada. America. Here's how you combat serial killing. Just get the worst most uncreative person in the department to name the person.
Starting point is 00:09:03 So it's like, zodiac killer or the Boston Strangler. It's like, somebody's named some flower guy. And then this girl goes like, well, then now it's time to warn you. Judy Pie 23. They're like, AOL screen names. Or it'd be like when you get your Xbox Live, the auto-generated name tags.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yeah. Curfuffle to Patunia. Like, oh. Lowercase X. Like auffle to Patunia. Like, ah. Lowercase X. Like a catcher. Like a catcher. Right. So stupid.
Starting point is 00:09:30 That's what they should totally do. They should do that with terrorists too. Just like this come up with nicknames for everybody. Yeah, like instead of that way, they just don't sound nearly as cool. It's all marketing, right? It's all about marketing. It's all for your marketing.
Starting point is 00:09:43 That's what it is. When was the last time we had a serial killer though? I guess like the last time we had like two. Well I was gonna say the last time we had like a big, you know, like publicized ordeal was the dude that did the Facebook thing. Like I think that that was the guy that like, everybody was going nuts with that guy.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Well the guy would not shot one person. I know, but still it was just like a got the hype of like a killer. I think the last one I can remember, Jeffrey Dahmer was pretty high profile because he was so nuts. But then there was the, remember the guy who had the young like a apprentice
Starting point is 00:10:14 and they were sniping people in the DC sniper? Oh, there was the DC sniper, yeah. That was crazy. And then when they finally got caught, their setup was so strange. They were in a car where they'd hollowed out the inside of the car and they were sniping from the trunk. They were...
Starting point is 00:10:28 The beltway sniper, that's what they called it. They were like shooting people, like, a gas station's a lot. A gas station's, yeah. Yeah. And to the point where they were telling people, so would hate these cans! On the news, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:37 My friend. They were telling me, that's been a few years, so you can make that joke. The, yeah, they were telling people to zigzag as they walked out in public, just like telling people to zigzag as they walked. Oh my God, out in public. Just like normal. In the DC area.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah. Like, do you guys work against snipers? I just would not. Go outside, I think, maybe. Yeah, no shit, or a wear a suit or armor. Yeah, there you go. Have you had anything like that ever? Where you've been like, like, either an outbreak of something
Starting point is 00:11:01 or, you know, serial killers were really specific, but something that kept you indoors, besides weather. Wild animals in South Texas. When I was pregnant, I was just generally freaked out about mosquitoes. Oh, no, good call. Yeah, good call. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The mom and I were like at the Oklahoma City, the building that got bombed. We were there like a couple days before. Not really related, but it's still something that's like kind of spooky, and like we were spooked for like months after. Oh, you reminded me. I was in Boston for the Boston Marathon bombing.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I was there. And the next, now it was that night, like the whole city was shut down. And we took that opportunity to go to a restaurant. It always had a really long wait. We just walked right in. Oh man, it was just. just walked right in Well, I mean Lemonade at 11's like a ghost town like there were just cops on the street
Starting point is 00:11:48 So pretty spooky while we're talking about that We kind of have to talk about what happened this week in Manchester with the area on a gronday Concert and we're pre-taping this so that was this was actually still very recent This is very recent for us. By the time you see this it'll be a week old at that point The first people to see this podcast. And I have a pretty measured response when it comes to those things. I mean, it incredibly terrible tragedy.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I don't know who would walk into a stadium and set off a device like that to kill kids. It's just unfathomable to me. It was really interesting thinking about the Boston Marathon. How many things happen when an event like that takes place? It's almost like a routine that the public falls into. There's this shock. Then there was a guy who made a terrible joke on Twitter
Starting point is 00:12:35 and everybody went after that guy for making a joke on Twitter about an area on a Grande Concert. And then there was another thing right after that where they internet detectives had figured out who set off the bomb by a guy who had been tweeting Ari on a Grande and everybody went after this guy and said that he, you know, were telling him that he's a killer. He was just obviously like very delusional fan
Starting point is 00:13:01 and thought he was gonna get to meet Ari on a Grande on May 22nd and he kept saying the date, May 22nd. It's like to meet Naryana Grande on May 22nd. And he kept saying the date May 22nd. Look, all his posts say May 22nd. It's like, well, that's the date of the concert when he's gonna meet his big hero. So he's saying the date over and over again. Yeah, he's saying weird, creepy stuff about them being best friends and all that. But you could find that probably at any concert for any popular person on any date.
Starting point is 00:13:22 But the internet found it. They were in this frenzy and they all went after this guy. And it's just like, you know, it's just no one thinks straight in those moments, you know, and you gotta, you gotta keep a level head, especially if you're not there. I mean, the people were there
Starting point is 00:13:36 dealing with this horrific event. The rest of us have the ability to kind of level out and help those people who are in danger, but instead we all just fall into this whirlwind every single time. I hadn't seen the witch hunt again this time. Well, I... Okay, the name of the guy, Matt Simafia.
Starting point is 00:13:50 You can look him up. I was on Red at the other day, and they still claim that they caught the Boston bomber. They didn't, though. Didn't they identify the wrong person? They did initially. It was like... Yeah, they did it at the wrong person. But they're like, they're like, toting that. They're like, we got the bomber. It's like, did you guys know? You know, like, yeah, they had the wrong person. But they were like, they're like, toting that, they're like, yeah, we got the bomber.
Starting point is 00:14:05 It's like, did you guys know, you know, like, it was weird. It's a weird mob mentality and added with the anonymity. Yeah, yeah. And with the fact that people wanna do something. Yeah, they wanna do something. Yeah, there's so much that desire to have that, I told you so a moment, or I called it,
Starting point is 00:14:19 that people just throw out a billion wild accusations to have that one maybe maybe is right Yeah, let's see if it's a can you just count still there I Think what Reddit did was they found the picture of them dropping off the bag. Yeah, right. Yeah, I mean that's I think That's gonna happen eventually people are if you have enough eyeballs I mean even they even did that with like when the Malaysia 370 flight disappeared, you know They a lot of satellite imagery was outsourced to people. So they could like click through and look
Starting point is 00:14:48 for anything unusual. I don't remember that. There was like a website where you could look at images of the ocean and see if, like, circle if there was anything in the water. But they never found that. The Blaine Gibson guy, the adventure that looks like horrifying, that has my name,
Starting point is 00:15:03 still finding fucking pieces. And I always get tweeted whenever that asshole finds something. It's like stop I don't care about this kind of. I forgot like I have the same name as you. Yeah and then people tweet me like you're a fraud you're planting these. I don't know what you're talking about. I have in Austin Texas. Wait are you but you're not even playing Gibson on Twitter right? Like you have a different username. I guess I've been playing Gibson on Twitter. I think you find mine one. But yeah, that's weird. Yeah. Talk that guy. This guy was treating stuff like leading up to May 22nd. Then he's treating stuff like
Starting point is 00:15:33 Ariana. I'm in the crowd. He clearly can't spell. Talks about how he's in love with Ariana. They're going to be together. Then in the middle of the concert, he's like, it's over for good. You're slag. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm going to find someone my own age, goodbye forever. I've left. I'm going to get with someone my own age. But he was posting even after the concert and everything and people just like, they got freaked out about it. But we've, Becca was, I think the first convention
Starting point is 00:15:56 she was ever at, I mean, we've dealt with stuff like that. Where sometimes people show up with really high expectations and we're not Ariana Grande, you know, who's on a huge stage with lights and looks like this goddess, you know. I can see how people get like wrapped up in that. We had a guy, it was in Florida, I remember. Of course it was.
Starting point is 00:16:13 He came up to us and we had a great, it was a convention, it was the first day. Camatos, we talked to him for like 10 or 15 minutes, really great conversation, really nice guy. And then he said, wanna go to a movie with you guys tonight. Wanna take you guys out to a movie? And I was like, well, you know, we just got in town
Starting point is 00:16:29 and we're working the whole day to come in, super nice if you'd offer that. Yeah, but now we can't go, we can't go to a movie tonight. But thanks for the offer, that was really cool of you. We came back the next day. And he was like, are we gonna go to that movie tonight? Let's go to the movie tonight. And I was like, no, we're just like, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:41 every, we spend, you know, 10, 12 hours in the booth every day, we usually just go back to the hotel and crash. I go, that's cool. I forget what the movie was. Some big movie they came to me. I remember it was the one where his car was on fire. Nick Cage, what was that movie? Cars on fire.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Hell, Nick Cage. Ghostwriter? Yeah, that. Oh, go ahead. His car was on fire. I want to see the fan art of that. Nick Cage, car on fire movie. Nick Cage in car on fire.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I thought it was Ghost Rider, but that was also Ghost Rider. This is a TV show. And you have to Karon Fire from neither of those. I see how that worked out. It's like when they had a bad Ghost Rider, he wrote Ghost Rider as a Karon Fire. But the second day he came back and he was like,
Starting point is 00:17:19 yeah, let's go see Ghost Rider. And honestly, now from memory, it's probably like, I don't wanna go see Ghost Rider. Yeah, we were like, we know being nice and saying, no, can't do it. And he's like, I just feel like such a huge fan. And he had posted, I remember he had posted on the site that he had been to the booth and posted the picture
Starting point is 00:17:33 with us and everything. And then the second day, it was like, he came back and he was like, I really want to go take guys to this movie and I said, no. And then he came back to third day, if memory serves, and the movie thing again, it was like his conversation with us. I think day three, he came back with a day if memory serves and the movie thing again it was like his conversation with us. I think day three he came back with a resume as well like at that point pivoted to give me a job. But the thing about the thing was when I
Starting point is 00:17:52 eventually said look we're we keep talking about this is I just want you to understand we're not going to go out and see a movie we're just not going to go do that so I just want you to understand that and then he hated us. Yeah I really had it. We wrote this long a long diet tribe and quit the site. How and how we were assholes and we were out of touch or whatever or something and we treated them like shit and now he's gone. It was just like, he just came in with wild expectations.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Which is what I think this person, and I get it. I honestly, I get it. You know what I mean? It's like, he had this built up thing of what the experience was gonna be like, it didn't match it and he had an extreme reaction to it. You know, probably a younger person, you know, that happens. You know, I get it.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And that's what this kid was going through, I think. And he gets fucking attacked by the internet for killing children. It's just like calm down. Yeah, calm, you really calm down. Just stay level head, especially you have some distance from the event. Stay level head and figure out what you can do to help. Besides playing detective or busting out your pitchfork or something like that. Just figure out you're like donating blood is always a good thing.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Even if it's not going to make its way to Manchester, it'll be good for your area. I will say Brandon had a tweet about donating blood the other day that unsettled me a bit. He called for people to donate blood. Then he reminded people that if around South by Southwest time, if they had received any, be positive blood that they might have a bit of Brandon in them. Oh, that's really. And I was like, I don't want that. I don't want Brandon. I was like, why did you frame it in such a weird, bizarre, creepy way? Yeah. We should go donate blood. They're not going to give you someone else's blood to
Starting point is 00:19:22 like, top you back off, because you can go donate blood and now worry about that. Yeah, yeah, but it's like, it's just like, now that's a mental image in my head. Is this Brandon being in someone else? Can you donate blood? You guys have tattoos. Yeah, there's just a grace period.
Starting point is 00:19:38 I think it's like a year. Yeah, okay. I know. I can't. I've never given blood. What? I can't. I've tried, can't why not oh
Starting point is 00:19:47 So gay people can't donate blood is it ever gay men or just anyone gay? Straight people have had blood sex to give blood man. I mean, that's just, that's weird. That seems. Yeah, it's just, it's like, it's weird. I think that was like some role they passed in the early 80s and it's still like on the record. Anticute, it's a bad opportunity. Yeah, that's definitely needed.
Starting point is 00:20:15 You know what I mean? What are the other things? Like, sexual trans-media disease? Is that one on there? And I think if you've traveled out of the country, like in a certain grace period as well. Rafael was saying she couldn't,, she lived in England as a kid during some like epidemic. Oh, it might have been during a CJD or something
Starting point is 00:20:32 like that. I think it was during Mad Cal, actually. Yeah. Yeah. CJD. Oh, thank you, Gus. So have you ever had a tattoo recently? Have you had same sex intercourse? Have you been outside the country? They could shorten the whole questionnaire by just saying, have you had same sex intercourse? Have you been outside the country? They could shorten the whole questionnaire by just saying are you boring is fuck? Yes, you could donate blood You're fine if you're just living a boring life. Yeah, come on in and donate all your own conditions make you ineligible to be a donor Tested positive for hepatitis B or hepatitis C lived with or had sexual contact the past 12 months with anyone, had a tattoo in the past 12 months,

But then it was the tattoos and piercings. And like, every time I try that I get a different one. Why don't you like doing any blood? I was finding this.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'm opositive. I'm like, good blood. I'm be positive, So it's like, it would be really rare. It's how I freak out. Yeah, I'm also the same blood type as Brandon, which is why I was freaked out by his tweet even more. Do you know your blood type, Bernie?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah, I was sitting here, no, I don't think I do. I feel like most people don't. I think I'm onegative. Next place, she's scopping me. I was out here, your onegative? Yeah, you know,

Starting point is 00:22:52 Blaying your fitness guy, have you ever heard about matching your diet to your blood type? You read that? Is that a thing? That's a thing. Have you ever heard about matching your alcohol consumption to your blood type? I have not, Gus, because let me tell you, this episode of the podcast
Starting point is 00:23:07 is brought to you by Smyrnaf. And the letter O. Little segment. We call the Smyrnaf side mark. I just want to point out there's an O in Smyrnaf and in vodka. There is, so. And this week, we know we've been doing this every now and then we do a recurring segment where...
Starting point is 00:23:23 Staxes, everybody. Staxes, I do not know. It is a special drink for the four core members of the RISTEF podcast and this week it's Bernie's turn. Yes it is. It is my drink. This week the Bern Teenie which you see the recipe right there. It's one and a half ounces of smeared off number 21 vodka, one ounce of driver mooth, one couple ice cubes and three olives.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Clear ice cubes. And you pour the smeared off number 21 of her mooth into the mixing glass, add ice and stir to chill, straight into a martini glass, and garnish with olives. We were talking about this before the podcast, and Texas was saying that it is generally you receive martinis with one or three olives. Consider bad luck if you have... So this is a long time ago that it was considered bad luck. If you have, I was told this a long time ago, that it was considered bad luck if you have more than one olive or like, if it's one or three,
Starting point is 00:24:10 it's just one or three. So even numbers of olives are bad, pretty much. Then you can't donate blood. Okay. So, you know, we, you know, it's been great. We did my drink first and then we did barbers last time. So. She had the caribou princess, or whatever, what was that?
Starting point is 00:24:24 There was very fluffy. Barbers punch. Barbers punch. That was a smile. That was a smile. That was a smile. That was a smile. That was a smile. That was a smile.

That was a big fans are smearing off, so it's great to have them. Spotching an episode of the podcast, they have great quality at a reasonable price. And again, like we've mentioned before, smearing off did invent the Moscow Mule, so hopefully for the next time when we do Gavin's drink, hopefully we'll be able to get to a Moscow Mule at some point. So if you all want to tweet at us, let us know any other ideas that we can try if we can't get the Moscow Mule for Gavin.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I actually want to have a little bit of that. I'm actually a RT podcast time. Rt podcast. And if you're over 21, we highly recommend you check out Miranoff vodka. Again, if you're over 21, check it out and let us know what you think with hashtag Rt podcast. I think you're gonna hashtag or Miranoff or the just Rt podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:18 They invented the Moscow meal. Thank you, Texas. I love the Moscow meal. It's a great drink. You'll copper cup. Maybe the burntini will replace it as like one. You little copper cup. Maybe a little fancy. The Burntini will replace it as like one of your all-time favorite drinks.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Probably not. I feel like this Burntini we maybe should have put like a dash of jalapeno juice in it. Ooh, in hindsight. In hindsight. Can we do that? Is it too late? Maybe too late.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Also, I'm not gonna have any jalapeno juice on your blade. I'm gonna be that guy, but the bars over here, but the sign for the bars over there. See, we'll see. That's the bars over there. See what else? That's a permanent bar there. This is like six streets, there's multiple bars. Is there a pop-up? OK, sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You can have alcohol away from a sign that says bar. This is true. Oh, you're actually going to a bar. And he gets a beer and has to drink it next to the sign that has the name of the beer on it, like he can. It's like you're a different part of the bar. This bar is too crowded. We need another bar sign We spread the crowds apart But yeah, you're talking about people wanting to match
Starting point is 00:26:14 Diet to blood type. Yeah, and I've heard that before I've heard like people try the blood type diet people try to explain it as like an evolutionary thing where You back thousands of years ago, you know, you have this blood type because your ancestors are whatever you used to eat certain diets and certain types of food. So these foods agree with you better than other types of food. That is correct. Have you ever done that?
Starting point is 00:26:36 Have you ever researched it? I don't even know. I'm actually looking here. I'm curious what you're trying to figure out. Our diet would be. So you want a dirty or one, right? Don't you want a dirty or one? Yeah. Yeah, here here take this one sure yeah
Starting point is 00:26:47 yeah you're gonna drink out of it that great I did I'm kidding I was waiting on gentlemen I'm waiting you are okay uh dirty or I love it for people who are familiar with martina just means more all of juice poor juice uh some looking blood type diet what are you Bernie oh yes I think so he said oh I'm embarrassed because it's I feel like now I haven't given blood in a Few years at least I haven't written down trying to get the last time I gave blood I Have a folder in my house Look at that
Starting point is 00:27:17 So you're gonna get a jalapeno juice magic. I would let you donate blood. Oh sweet. You know if I was in charge I would let you donate blood Seems like that's what you think. That's what you think, it's just a dumb thing. I'm trying to find, you just Westworld it and take it straight from his body and ears. Okay, type O.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Did I miss that episode of Westworld? You must have. Type O blood. A high protein diet, heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy. That makes sense. That's like what I eat already. Wait, that's for O light on grains, beans, and dairy. That makes sense. That's like what I eat already.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Wait, that's for, oh, negative? Or just, oh, like it, oh. Wow. Type B, which is for me, avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic. He's, uh, encourages eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meat, and low fat dairy. That sounds awful. Low fat dairy. That sounds awful.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Low fat dairy. Low fat dairy and no chicken. Chicken is probably the most just like innocuous chickens everywhere. It's harmless. Yeah, bringing his swappers out. Why? Because you want the jalapenos. I'll take his existing one if you want. It's coming down. Here it comes. Pass it up. I almost fell. So jalapenos instead of the I'm just gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say that I'm gonna say what he's gonna do this. It comes with the noir version of the film as well. I don't know if it's white, that's awesome. So I guess they have a version of the film where it's just all in black and white. I'm interested in Kajima on Twitter and that dude loves superhero movies. And you're gonna read this.
Starting point is 00:28:54 And Lala Latt. Yeah, he's always tweeting about movies and film. He loves movies. He was like, he goes crazy over the black and white Logan and Mad Max. Which I don't know if I and white Logan and Mad Max. Which I don't know if I would wanna watch Mad Max. I think the biggest thing I love about that movie is the color, so the lack thereof would kinda.
Starting point is 00:29:13 That would be the new one, you mean? Yeah, that made me wish that colorists were an Academy Award category from the main show because Mad Max's color was incredible. Well, they, you know, like Vanity or EW or whoever posted pictures like way before the movie was out and you'd be before they had a trailer of what's his face on the bike and stuff
Starting point is 00:29:36 and it looked like everything was, it looked like a DC movie, like a Batman, like everything was desaturated and like gray and gross. I was like, oh, this doesn't look like it's gonna be a good movie. And it completely flipped. And now it's like this beautiful orange and blue movie. And that's what made it for me.
Starting point is 00:29:51 It's like a- The nighttime stuff in Mad Max incredible, how blue it is. Yeah, it's totally day for night because you have like moon shadows. Yeah, but it still looks great. Yeah, it's so great. It like that goes back to what we talked about before,
Starting point is 00:30:01 like when Mad Max first came out, how Tom Hardy publicly apologized. Yeah. For the way he treated George Miller. Yeah, how he treated George Miller about that movie. He said that when they were filming it, that he just didn't see the vision and understand what George Miller was trying to do,
Starting point is 00:30:14 and that when the film was done, he was just blown away by how good it was. I think I said at the time that that's code four, I was a gigantic asshole. Yeah, that's it. I'm sure that we're... Everyone, cheers, cheers. The Clinton sure. Everyone. Cheers. Cheers. Do you have clean classes with Mark's.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Oh, we'll do it. Can't I'm on clean, clean, clean. Clean, clean, kiss. Little classy drink. I got a little hollipane in your smile. Let's go. Ooh, that's good. That's delightful.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Do you want to try this? Burning burns. Yeah, I'll try. But, so I didn't have a chance to watch all of Logan Works. I just got it last night. Have you been to the UK last so much? I've never been to the UK. I just watched that opening fight sequence at the limo.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Oh, with the, yeah. Yeah, and like I was like, wow, that looks really good. I don't know, they must have had black and white in mind when they filmed it. Because you have to light it a very specific way in order for black and white to look presentable or to look good. Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:31:03 What? I've seen it. Okay. Yeah. But you're talking about cinematography that you have to light it in a certain way to shoot in black and white. You're saying that with a high degree of confidence. Do you know that for fat?
Starting point is 00:31:13 Yes. Okay. I'm stating fact. I work, I don't know if you know. I'm working to film industry. Did you have a blue light and a white light? Filming. One of my favorite first conversations with you is when we're filming the switch parody? That's one of my favorite first conversations with you.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Those are when you're filming the switch parody. Very one of my very first videos I've read. But I mean, you can manipulate, I mean, I know that lighting's different than manipulating the color in post, but like raw, I've gotten blown away by how red cameras you can manipulate the raw, you can change the ISO and do all sorts of different stuff in post.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Like after the fact that you shot it, which is something that you would never be able to do with an old film camera. There's so much stuff like that, it feels like magic, in a way, like I've been doing stuff with TiltShift where I can just shift focus. Dude, please get into more TiltShift. Do you like that?
Starting point is 00:31:56 That LA construction thing? I couldn't stop watching that. It's the most relaxing thing ever to watch like little things move around. One of my favorite scenes in the social network was the rolling shift, yeah, rowing scene. Yeah, I love that look. And I just think it's a cool,
Starting point is 00:32:13 I think it's a cool metaphor for a vlog with a lot of travel in it, like just making the world look smaller. It's kind of the whole point of it, right? So, you got a specific lens for that then, I'm assuming. I did, but I also do a little bit of work in post as well, to really kind of sell it. Like the airplane shot of the planes coming in and out and like getting awesome burst from.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yeah, yeah, I think that was actually Chicago, I'm not sure where it was, but that was a shot I actually used before and the shot I used in the vlog before, I didn't do anything in post, I just used the lens. And it was good, but the lens, or the post stuff really like amps it up a lot. You know, if you get that depth of field in a certain place and get it just right, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:32:49 And in post you can kind of figure out where that is better than you can like, in a time lapse. So how do you do that? Isn't it two lenses in there off just slightly? So they focus on one. My previous, this week's vlog. Cause I pull the lens out and show how it works and everything.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Cool. Yeah, I go through the whole thing on it. I need to watch that. Yeah. Is this a motivational vlog? I feel like they got rid of that. Yeah, they have a filter where you can mess with tilt shifts. It's a filter?
Starting point is 00:33:12 You're saying like it's a setting. It's a setting. It used to be really prominent. And now I feel like they've nested it away because people were abusing it all the time. Oh, I'm going to take a picture. Abusing it. How do you abuse it?
Starting point is 00:33:22 It was just like using it to create fake depth of field and it just looked really terrible. No. I'd say what really blows you away is the iPhone 7 Plus as the portrait mode. Boom. It's pretty awesome. It's pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah, that's the one thing that I don't like the plus because they're so big, but that's the one thing I was most curious about. No, I've got the normal. I'm all about that plus. I'll just need you. I'm all about that place. I'll just need to. I'm gonna make you a small person. That didn't really work.
Starting point is 00:33:50 I guess I'm gonna give you a subject. So I was giving Yvonne some shit the other day at the management meeting. Yvonne? Yeah, that's dangerous business. I don't know if you remember this, but years ago when we were still at down south at the Rathablanado office, I don't remember anything.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I was, I kept bugging Yvonne, I kept telling her, we need to accept Bitcoin in the store. We should be accepting Bitcoin for merchandise. Oh man. And then on Monday I saw a headline that $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 is now worth $72.9 million. What? It was 2010 when I was telling her we should be accepting Bitcoin.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I was like, Why don't you do a bunch of Bitcoin? No, yeah. That's what nobody did. Wasn't Joel shitting all over it when it was. Yeah, he was. But it's also, I think I'm going on a podcasting. We'll just go buy Bitcoin right now.
Starting point is 00:34:37 And I'm probably going to say the same thing I said then which is like, okay, buy it now. Yeah. Here it is, buy it now. And in five years, you'll be saying the same thing. Do you think it'll just continue to... I think it's an bubble. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
Starting point is 00:34:50 I can't come back and hear yourself when there's Bitcoin billionaires everywhere. One of my favorite stories ever from online, and this is probably the story that started the conversation on the podcast all those years ago, was a guy who had a hard drive and he bought like $50 with a Bitcoin or something like that. I forget it was. I know he lived in the UK and then six years later, whatever, those Bitcoins were worth about $4 million, whatever he bought
Starting point is 00:35:18 and the computer was gone. So he did research, he needed the hard drive back. So he did research on the landfill for his area and he bought sections of the landfill that were used during the time that he would have thrown away the computer and he was excavating trying to find his old computer. Did he ever find it? No, I don't think he did that. So he used 10,000 bitcoins to buy a pizza in 2010,
Starting point is 00:35:45 which were now worth $20 million. That's the same guy though. Oh, is that the same guy? He used 10,000 bitcoins to buy a pizza in 2010, which were now worth $20 million. That's the same guy though. Oh, it's not the same guy? No, that's a famous thing of a kid who bought pizza. I think actually the first thing ever bought with Bitcoin, the first real world item was a pizza. What pizza maker accepts Bitcoin? I think he paid, it was like almost like a postmates thing
Starting point is 00:36:01 or was it a famous pizza? Yeah, where he paid someone in Bitcoins to buy him a pizza. Because he didn't have any money, but he had Bitcoins. So he said, you call my local pizza place. A Bimo box. Order me a pizza and pay for it, and then I'll transfer the Bitcoin to you. And that pizza was worth like $3 million or something.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Did you guys ever use Bimo Bucks? Uh, no, I never lived on campus. Oh, is that like your UT currency or something? Yeah, we have a currency on UT called Bitcoins. It actually. That's after my time, we didn't have that shit. Oh really? No, it'll be stolen from the Aggies. What do they have?
Starting point is 00:36:30 Aggie Bucks. Creative. I was definitely a little bit of a little bit of a... Yeah. I like you're making fun of them for the creative. I was just B-Vo-Box. Which is true. Yeah, sure they invented it, but we meet the letters the same.
Starting point is 00:36:41 We meet the way that does no B-Vo-Box is like... Seven. 0.5 billion dollars that was started away. We meet the way that does no BVBUX is like, it's basically, $7.5 million that was started away. That was the landfill thing. Yeah. Well, if your parents don't want to give you money for food, but they don't want you to spend it on alcohol, they give you BVBUX. But there's places that'll accept BVBUX
Starting point is 00:36:57 and you can buy beer with them, I think. Yeah. Can you buy beer on campus like at the Jester store? Oh, yeah. There was a, just your, The reason it is, so your parents don't think you're buying alcohol? It wasn't so much alcohol.
Starting point is 00:37:08 It wasn't so much alcohol. Tattoo's in my case, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, there's a few places on campus. I still live by campus and they have a couple of alcohol stores amongst the apartments. The place has changed.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So what's Bitcoin worth today? Like $2,500? I don't know gonna let me look. Per Bitcoin? Bitcoin. This article that I'm reading from late 2013, was basically three years ago, Bitcoin here is worth about $1,100.
Starting point is 00:37:37 But everyone's going back to 2008 and saying what it was there. They're like, look at that. But like last time we had a conversation about Bitcoin three or four years ago, if we could have bought it, we could have doubled our money. Which is cool for three or four years, but it's not like, I'm not gonna stay awake at night
Starting point is 00:37:51 thinking, oh my God, I missed out on the chance of a lifetime. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can see, I'll send you the chart here, like the chart, the kind of spikes in 2014, then of course it goes down, and then now like it's on the thumbnail. But everyone looks past spike, right?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Right, right. You could have potentially lost a shitload of money getting involved with Bitcoin in 2014, you know? You might be getting back to break even. Austin, or Gus, what's the Austin cafe that has a Bitcoin machine in it? Dominic and Joe's used to have a Bitcoin ATM. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Benio has one. Oh, does it? Oh, okay. Benio? All right, I'm gonna sound really ignorant right now. Let's do it. Bitcoin aren't stored in the cloud. Bitcoin aren't stored in the cloud. Bitcoin aren't stored in the cloud.
Starting point is 00:38:29 It's a, I don't know why people like this currency because there's a lot of things about it from what I understand that it's locked with a key, but then the part of that with a key is then you can see that Bitcoin every transaction it was used for. Isn't that correct? It's like it doesn't have a trail of everything.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I'm not sure, I've never used it. Oh yeah, I should, I'm talking on my ass, I think. Just from memory here. On the podcast? No. No. We never do that here. That seems incriminating, considering Bitcoin
Starting point is 00:38:55 is usually used for things you don't know. Right, like silk road and stuff like that, right? Yeah. Someone, someone, oh, we're not in life. So someone yell at me two days from now of why I'm wrong. Bitcoin trade. The country's looking it up. I love that even though we announced
Starting point is 00:39:11 that this is pre-recorded, people are still gonna be tweeting us while it's happening. I'll be engaged. If you're watching along, then you can keep up. I'm gonna watch with my parents. Er, it's time they'll all get a tweet and be like,
Starting point is 00:39:22 you were wrong about Bitcoin. Why are they talking about that No, I'm not. Oh man, last night someone made a reference, a red versus blue reference from the current season to me. And I just totally went over my head. That's like, I felt like a fucking idiot. Was it something that you had said to? No, but it was a scene I was in.
Starting point is 00:39:39 It wasn't my line, but he was referencing a scene that I participated in. That's like, oh, right. I made a, I made a John Cena. Just for reference, I recorded that I participated in. I was like, oh, right, I'm in. I made a John Cena. Just for record, I recorded that line forever ago. Oh, okay. I made a John Cena joke on Twitter
Starting point is 00:39:52 and you know, people are just like, he's got the guys in mean machines so then people start tweeting me about it and someone was like, I think your girlfriend needs an attitude adjustment. What the fuck is this? Like, fuck this guy. Apparently, that's like his thing.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Oh, it's attitude adjustment. Like, I don't know. It's like the John Cena, I don't know. It's just the John Cena joke. But I was like, really pissed off and then everybody started tweeting that same thing. So I was like, oh, I guess it's a reference. It's a reference.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Yeah, I just not getting it. Yeah, I was, the guy I had replied, the guy I was talking about had replied to a poll I made because I was talking to Brandon yesterday and I realized Brandon did not know what the word gab meant. Like, if the gab, right. And I was like, that's really weird. I realized Brandon did not know what the word gab meant. Like gift of gab, right. And I was like, that's really weird.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I'm sure most people know what that is. So I started running a Twitter poll. I was shocked at how many people did not know. I was shocked by those results. What that word is. Let me see if I can find the most up to date. As of right now, it is at 56% no word, 44% do not know that word.
Starting point is 00:40:43 I bet you 56% is wrong too. I bet it's only like 30%. I bet those people like good and like, did you provide any context? No, I said, are you familiar with the word gab as in gift of gab? Oh, then yeah, like that's plenty of context. I'm shocked at how many people said
Starting point is 00:40:57 they do not know that word. It's almost 19,000 votes so far. That's super weird. That seems like, I mean, that's like an old like gams. Yeah, of course, yeah. you don't hear that every day. 50s word. Yeah, and then someone replied, you know, speaking of that, someone replied to the tweet. It was like, oh, I guess I'm just too old. I don't know this word. And then someone was replied, I'm like, no, you're just,
Starting point is 00:41:15 you must be too young. Yeah, it's not, it's not a new word at all. Yeah, there is this like kind of weird place that we exist in now. And this was probably happened for generations where it's like, you know, you got like, oh shit, I don't even know millennial words. But you know what I'm talking about though, right? Like, turns and all that bulls- Thought, lit! Lit, there you go. We can just listen all of it.
Starting point is 00:41:34 We dab is in there somewhere. It's like, I don't know those words, but I also don't know like old words. I'm just going to swim in the middle. Family, you know your words. Just stop burning, stop. I got a million. How do you do? I'm hip, to swim in the middle. Family, you know your words. Just bam. Stop burning, stop. I got a million.

Starting point is 00:42:05 and with their mom whenever we're talking about stuff and behavior or something, I can always say, oh well, if we want to steer JD away from this, I can just start doing it. He'll be like, I'm not gonna do that. We can go right the whip. Oh, God. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna read this thing here.

Starting point is 00:43:48 tell you that he lives in coast to Mesa and not much after that. You will stalk him and run downstairs to see if he's still there playing volleyball, but he will not be there. He stays on the sixth floor and stairs at you as you pass him in the elevator. Urban dictionary has gone too far. Is that the highest voted one, or is it just a credit at the top? That's 12 up votes. So every definition is just someone's single handed like if you, oh, probably not burning. Or maybe that's a reference.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Like look up like Becca on Urban Dictionary. It's probably like a beautiful goddess. Like it's everyone just does their own name.

You have pepper under your skin. It was always stupid. It, uh, blame to completely fail at something. Oh, blame it. Rishartee's blame Gibson, who will not particularly failure in his own right is constantly mocked as being one bicycle Top top entry on Urban dictionary they had just forgotten that the community like just and now I just gonna be like playing it
Starting point is 00:45:20 I had forgotten about that everybody did it's back back urban dictionary never forget what was that thing? Oh shit Bernie is to get in one's car and drive around smoking a joint Let me see. Oh Bernie. That's good. in one's car and drive around smoking a joint. Oh Bernie that's good. Yeah, I got it. I got it. Gus is the most coolest kid you ever meet even if he does eat a lot of food and gets all the girls to say, oh I love you Gus. You're so hungable. I wrote that. Yeah. You're so hungable. I'm so hungable. That's code. I think I've ever hugged Gus. Second definition for Gus is word that rhymes with bus. Uh-huh. So thank you, Urban dictionary, for contributing to public knowledge.
Starting point is 00:45:52 I don't think Gus will let you hug him. You can hug. How about you, are we hugged? I don't think so. I don't think so. Someone sent a photo of us hugging. We talked about you hugged me at a convention. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:02 It was as awkward as I hoped it would be. It was horrible. It was horrible. It was horrible. I learned to come up organically. So I was like, I'm not going to do it on podcast. We'll do it at like RTX when we're drunk. There's something probably. So I was going to say, speed of Twitter, am I Twitter pull.
Starting point is 00:46:14 You tweeted about Master of None the other day and about how great the soundtrack is. Oh, we're talking to you guys about that. I finally finished it. I felt like it took me a while to start watching season two. I was really excited about it. I loved season one. And I finally finished season two last night. it took me a while to start watching season two. Like I was really excited about it. I loved season one and I finally finished season two last night. And I thought it was really good.
Starting point is 00:46:28 I still think I liked season one more, but season two was pretty good. Season two had such better writing in my opinion. The performances were still kind of like hit or miss. Dude, I love that Italian girl. She is. Francesca. Babe.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. I'm really happy to see that show do so. And I felt like they do one-off episodes so well. Like the, I love you New York. I love you New York. And even I felt like the Thanksgiving one was kind of
Starting point is 00:46:54 one-off. Really enjoy the one. You're fired. But it's good to see like they have a formula. And it's like you have story episodes and like non-story episodes. And they really, you never feel like you're wasting your and like non-story episodes and they really, you never feel like you're wasting your time.
Starting point is 00:47:07 I feel like they always do a good job of making you feel entertained and you're still learning as you're watching that show. It's such a good commentary on dating in the 21st century as well. Yeah, after there's that whole like Tinder first date episode, I watched that with Esther. And we finished it and we looked at shows like,
Starting point is 00:47:21 I'm glad I missed that. Oh, I know. I had, I've never had to do that in my life. Like that looks fucking horrible. And it was so like accurate to how that whole thing goes. It's like you have these set up questions and it's basically a date can be interchangeable. You can just pop somebody in
Starting point is 00:47:35 and it's like you're gonna cover the same fucking thing. Oh, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Like all that stuff. Did you notice in that episode, like there were no cuts? I think it would just pan away. And then go back and it was just a different girl. It was like conceal it with some sort of... Yeah, like they'd cut to the street, go back, new girl.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Yeah. Yeah, it was, it's, I'm not even sure. So he was dating a bunch of different people at one time kind of a thing. It was like him going through his Twitter date, like, ritual, or Tinder date. So it's like all of his first dates. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And it's like, same, but different people. Same formula, same restaurants. Yeah, just like same conversations. It was, yeah, super accurate. Yeah, it was, it looked horrible. I mean, that horrible. It looked, um, terrifying. Is the better word for me, I think.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I did like in this season though, like it seems. What's your hell on? We've been married 10 and a half years. Okay, come back to that. Go ahead. Oh, I just like that, as he's had his employment part of his life Figured out in this season so that like he wasn't struggling with money as well as dating because that was a big issue in
Starting point is 00:48:31 Season one was he's just trying to find a job as well as dating people but yeah Yeah, great show if you you have Netflix you absolutely watch it We're I was just waiting for that and that look looked after saying like, this is gonna happen. There it went, yep. I was just thinking, because you've over the course of the time that I've known you, which is a really long time, you had a long-term relationship, then you were single,
Starting point is 00:48:54 then you had a long-term relationship, Esther. Yeah. Which covered now, 10 years, 10 and a half years, you said? Yeah. I always think it's interesting like that, I can remember times in my life, being single and going into a long-term relationship and then being a long-term relation and going into single. And it's, you know, you kind of forget what the other one is like,
Starting point is 00:49:11 you know, when you're in it, but it's like, especially when you're in a long-term relationship, you see, single scenes like a lot of fun, but it's so much fucking mental overhead. It's, it's just like constant work and everything. Like, I would watch Blaine when he was single. And it was like, it was almost like your year identity was being a single person. Whereas when you're in a long-term relationship, I find I'm way more productive.
Starting point is 00:49:34 It's just like, you have this nice baseline for having a relationship trip and being able to build a life around that. It's like a true representation of who you are is when you're in your relationship that you're comfortable with because when your single is just like, you're just fucking rabid.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Like, I remember just thinking about single girls all the time, just being on Tinder and so like that, it's like, dicking. So, yeah. Just see that awful, spinox Tinder. Just see that awful video of the guy
Starting point is 00:49:57 who was using a fidget spinner on Tinder. He just like stuck it on, just went like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yeah. Why is that? What are fidget spinners, spinners? Everybody's been going nuts or those, and I'm like starting to see, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, on, like back. Why is that? What are fidget spinners? Everybody's been going nuts or those, and I'm starting to seem like. Well, propeller, I think we have one in the marketing office. I got a fidget cube.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah, see that's a way cooler. Yeah, fidget cubes are better, I think. It's the same thing. fidget cubes are expensive. fidget spinners are like, you can get them for like a dollar on promo websites. I think you know it's a FAD, whenever it's like, you see them at gas stations.
Starting point is 00:50:24 And I've seen both fidget cubes and spin's at gas station. Gasoline? FAD. Well, it's like it's like chewing gum. FAD. It's the impulse counter. They've got like Pokemon cards like right there for the kid to grab. So my eight year old nephew wanted for his first communion gift was a fidget spinner. Oh. It's what all the kids have. I don't even have one. Did you collect them or did you get one and that's it? You're good. I feel like it won until it breaks in a day.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I should just be able to. I walked into the other studio the other day to do some audio and carry out a fidget spinner and he was so happy with it. He was like running around showing it to everybody, spinning it and trying to, I was, I started asking him, can you do tricks with it? Like, you know, put it on your fingertip and like spin it around? He's like, yeah, I haven't figured that out yet. I can't I can't do that yet
Starting point is 00:51:11 These working on it the yo-yo balls of this generation Yeah, good pet rock. Did you guys ever have a yo-yo fattier school? Oh a yo-yo fatt? Not real yo-yo. Waited in my school. Yeah, Duncan man Duncan yo-yo got big got big for a little bit just came back and then was gone in like four months The glow in the dark yo-yo the butterfly I Did have a glow in the dark one or like one that like lit up as it spun. Oh, right. Yeah Where we talking about AIDS before
Starting point is 00:51:39 Always sure I want to bring that back up because I was like really interested in where that conversation was going Oh Sure. I want to bring that back up because I was like really interested in where that conversation was going. Oh, right before we started recording. Oh, right, right, we were talking about CRISPR. CRISPR, right, there was before we started calling. Right, we were talking about CRISPR genetic modifications. And I want to say before we start talking about this, there's like a billion internet videos about this and you should probably go watch all of those because that's about our level of knowledge of what this is.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Guys, do you see the way more people do that I am? There's also a great episode. Is this a trigger warning for science kids? Yes. You're going to get super obsessed. The first one's heard about it. There's also a great episode of Vice from last season. No such thing.
Starting point is 00:52:17 That covered CRISPR. And what it is basically, it's a way, or it's like, it's a peptide that can go through DNA and then find certain sequences, remove them, and replace them. What is that in tail? What is that in tail? Basically, you can on a macro level. You in theory could rewrite all of your DNA. So I could turn my skin like local color? Right, but there are problems. Okay, so yes, theoretically you could. What in some examples, so it doesn't, it's not always that
Starting point is 00:52:52 easy is what people are finding out. So in one example, they wanted to change a trait on moths. They were like, okay, we want to take this moth and change it from one color to another color. So they did that and they ran CRISPR and they're like, we know what sequence governs that. So they took out all those, replaced them with the new color, but what happened was all the new moths of the new color, their wings didn't form right. It's like, oh, well, that sequence is also tied to wing formation
Starting point is 00:53:18 and we just didn't realize that. So all of your DNA is very interconnected. Butterfly effect. Right. It's really good. So it's about finding it and about finding all of the different connections and modifying all of them. So we're still at the very early stage where we don't really understand all of those interconnects. But in theory, yes. And I've heard stories about how they want to start using the technology in embryos to allow parents to select eye
Starting point is 00:53:43 color, hair color, and other physical traits for- It's like a video game then. It's scary, because then if you start doing that, you're- Why would you do it with an embryo though? It just seems like you would just do that at any point in your life.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Less cells, less DNA, like, it's your starting place. You're starting with the stem cells, and then create everything else. Wouldn't it be cool if you did that though? We're from brown to blue, and your eyes slowly clouded over and blue over the course of like two months, and then we're blue at the end of two months.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Like the braces, but for your eyes. But I mean, then you're fucking with... You're playing God. The genetic selection. Yeah. Right, because you're like, we have a certain degree of diversity in our DNA, you know, to ensure survivability.
Starting point is 00:54:24 It's just same thing with bananas. I've been on bananas lately, quite a bit. Like all bananas, I guess it's bananas for bananas. Are probably gonna be extinct in the next 10 years. Wait, what? Yeah, bananas are gone. Oh.
Starting point is 00:54:36 You eat all the bananas you can now, because- It's doggy conquered. Right now, all bananas, are, all banana trees are clones of the same banana plant. Mm-hmm. That's why bananas don't have seeds. They're cloned and right now there is a fungus called tropical race four that's affecting all banana plants.
Starting point is 00:54:53 So it affects them, kills them, and then makes the ground where they can't plant bananas there again. The podcast answers, Jeremiah took this on. I guess you brought it up before, and he had a really great explanation of the whole epidemic. And it's happened before. We brought it up before because of the Cavendish bananas.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Well, Cavendish is the current banana. It's a big mic. I don't remember what the old ones were called. The old ones. The one, you notice how banana flavor, this is where we're retread here of the topic before. Banana flavoring in candy doesn't taste anything like bananas. Garbage?
Starting point is 00:55:20 Because it tastes like what bananas you taste like. Yeah, but those are all going. And everyone who's eaten the old bananas says that the bananas we have now are garbage compared to the old bananas. That the old bananas were really good and now currently bananas sucks. No, I can't remember that. Right, it was before any of our time. So it's going to happen again and now, eventually, probably in our lifetimes,
Starting point is 00:55:40 bananas are going to replace again. We're going to have a different banana that we're all going to have to eat. Big Mike bananas, Groce Michel is the actual name of the banana, which is French for big mic. But the reason you're talking about... Fat mic, I think, actually. Fat mic, I can't let you know. There was a breakthrough recently where they think that they can remove AIDS using CRISPR technique.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yep, it's pretty cool. If you saw headlines that said, the life expectancy for someone with HIV is now the same as someone without it. It's because of this. This is the latest development in HIV treatment. I saw a bus driving by like on my way to work the day and it said something about an HIV preventative owner that's connected to the computer. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:56:18 So I saw a billboard about it. I actually took a photo of it because I thought it was really cool. Is it a condom? No, it's a, I don't want to, I don't want to speak. So let me find the photo of the billboard. They've had that for a while though. You can take antivirals very quickly and fight it off,
Starting point is 00:56:31 but it's awful. I knew a guy, this is how weird. I knew a guy who got stabbed in prison or not, that's the right way to say that. He got stabbed in a prison. Okay. And, and that, the common thing that's done as if a prisoner stabs you is that they will paint it with blood And so the prisoner of course didn't refuse to be tested and
Starting point is 00:56:54 So or tell them where the blood came from or anything like that So he had to go through these anti viral treatments and apparently they were fucking horrible like painful Yes, I'm working for memory here again, but I think they had to give him a shot in his hip bone You are correct. I've got that story as well. That is correct. Have you ever had spinal taps? No, my ex did though I don't know. I was like four and I will never forget it. Okay. I have meningitis Yeah, that's what that's why my ex had it That was an eagle pass in the hospital. If you have a Oh god, I'm so sorry. I know it's worse than if you have a super bad headache
Starting point is 00:57:24 I'm not gonna try to advise you to not get medical help But if you have a sore, I'm so sorry, that's even worse than that. If you have a super bad headache, I'm not going to try to advise you to not get medical help, but if you have a super bad headache and you go to an emergency room, you just tell them you're having the worst headache of your life, that's a very specific symptom that they will then give you a spinal tap. Like a stiff neck, too, right? Yeah. If you have, say, I'm having literally the worst headache of my life, they will immediately gravitate towards just meningitis.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So this is the billboard I saw. It's actually really close to the studio. It's over there, like, at airport and 38, I think. this is the billboard I saw. It's actually really close to the studio. It's over there like at airport and 38 I think. Just get the pill that prevents HIV. Yeah, it's not like that too. Yeah. I don't know. I just thought it was.
Starting point is 00:57:53 It's cyanide. I took a photo and I was like, wow, that's really weird. I thought back to like when I was growing up and when I was younger and nobody understood what it was. It's like, oh, it's just crazy epidemics and to kill everyone. It's like, now I'm driving. That's like, I live in the future. I'm driving by a bill. It's like, oh, you know, it's just crazy epidemics and to kill everyone. Now I'm driving, like, that's like, I live in the future. I'm driving by a billboard that's like, get the pill that prevents it.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah, that's just... So, by the way, I used to work when I was in college. I worked at the Student Health Center and I worked in basically sexual public self-sex health education. And I would, that's a terrible billboard because it's amazing how little people know about sexual health and that billboard is potentially
Starting point is 00:58:30 damaging because someone will read that billboard and go, the pill prevents HIV. Okay. That's because they use the word the pill. And so if you have that on the billboard, that's a terrible billboard, especially depending on where you put it. That's a really bad idea to have that.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Because the pill is obviously not great protection against HIV. That's a really bad idea to have that because the pill is Obviously not great protection against HIV. It's probably the worst method of birth control to prevent a HIV start Start to go like super info wars, but that crisper thing sounds like the beginning of a movie where it's like a zombie outbreak Yeah, I imagine kind of like that's how I imagine starts. Yeah, what's it? It's such a small part in the movie Emma starts. Yeah. What's it? She has such a small part in the movie. Emma. Is the famous Emma, Emma Thompson, the older actors, she's the scientist that cures cancer. And then everyone turns into the
Starting point is 00:59:14 I am legend stuff. Yeah. I'm virus. Yeah, it's it's it's scary stuff to think about like you think you see like a new technology like, oh, what's what's the worst possible outcome from this? It's always like pop clips. Yeah, I'm trying to think of like what current day is something that like, what's Zika? Is that like the current like, people like kind of,
Starting point is 00:59:34 south of the equator, but it's still a big deal. If everyone had blue eyes, back at your lady. If everyone had blue eyes, wouldn't brown eyes become more attractive? Potentially. I feel like over time, right? Like everyone gets blue eyes, wouldn't brown eyes become more attractive? Potentially. I feel like over time, right?
Starting point is 00:59:45 Like, everyone gets blue eyes, then there's less brown eyes than all those people forget, and then it goes back to fourth. It's been my experience talking to women, because it's always hard to figure out what the hell women use for that gauge of attraction. It's always, like, I always go back to the one comment I heard that was the most ridiculous comment where she's like, oh, that guy's so hot, he looks like he could change a tire. I'm like, what the fuck does that mean? That is so unquiet.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I could change a tire. As he drops the toilet. That's all he's got, mom. That's all he's got. Dropping his olive oil, he was hitting on people. Do you want these olives back? Yeah. Yeah, they're all yours.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Thanks. Guys tend to be attracted to a like a type. They tend to have a type and they go for that type. But more so with women, they'll meet a guy and they'd like him because he's completely different, like he's from Italy or something like that. Accents especially drive women crazy in particular. I think accents go for dudes too.
Starting point is 01:00:34 They work for guys too, but I think they work a lot better on women than dudes. I think I saw him in my mom and she told me that I don't have a type. She was evaluating all the girls that have dated and all of them been like vastly different from one another. And I think that that's the case. I don't know if I actually have a type.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Just the type is that they all disappoint her. No, I'm a plus a lot of. But Chris, I always do Chris a hard positive because I'm a serial killer. That was like two called acts. That's right. That's right. That's good. I tell Chris all the time that I know exactly what his type is because there'm a serial killer. That was like two callbacks. That's fine, that's fine. That's good. I tell Chris all the time that I know exactly what his type is because there's a feature on Instagram
Starting point is 01:01:08 where it's like you can see the activity that your friends are doing. And every time I'll see Chris Demaris like photos. Wait, wait, wait, what? Manic Pixie Dream Girl. You said there's a social thing on Tinder where you can see what other people do. Instagram, Instagram.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Instagram, sorry, okay, sorry. You can see what people are interacting how they commented or what they said and stuff like that in Chris every time has a million dark-haired exotic-looking women. He's liked photos from like 20 different angles. It really bothers me to see how thirsty my dude friends are.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Right, I know, it's like, I keep it down a little. It's kind of like the lame version of Twitter, really, isn't it? It's like the passive-aggressive version of Twitter. It's kind of like the lame version of Twitter, really, isn't it? What, is it? It's like the passive-aggressive version of Twitter. It's kind of like a watered down version. Watered down, but I think that makes it more accessible and that's why it has more people.
Starting point is 01:01:55 But yeah. It's thirsty, that's a good point. It's a numbers game, Becca. They got a try, they got a try. Can't eat a whole run if you don't swing the bat. This is not gonna meet a girl on Instagram. What? He actually did and they kind of dated briefly.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Oh, I have. Kind of dated briefly. There you go, he's not gonna meet a wife on Instagram. I don't want to get too far. Can he donate blood? Now, after this girl. Yes, okay. He doesn't weigh 110 pounds though.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Yeah, he's like 100 pounds. So can I? I could have been that exciting. Speaking of social media, I had an annoyance with Snapchat because I guess they had a... Fuck Snapchat. They had an app update,
Starting point is 01:02:33 and now they put your Bitmoji on your snap code. Like they force it? Like it's just there now. I don't have a bitmoji. I'm never gonna fuck with a bitmoji. What's a bitmoji? I'm not gonna install the bit moji app. I'm not gonna do it.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Oh, those cartoons, fucking, yeah. Like, you're dabbing or whatever. Feel like I made the right call by staying away from Instagram and Snapchat until one of them got kind of figured out which one was gonna make it. And I really think Instagram, because it's so mean. For a long time it seemed like it was Snapchat
Starting point is 01:03:02 but it seems like Instagram is eating their lunch now. Well, okay. Also Instagram can copy everything they do and it's Instagram has a long way to go with it was Snapchat but it seems like Instagram is eating their lunch now. Well okay. Also Instagram can copy everything they do and it's just... Instagram has a long way to go with the filters. The face filters suck, they're derivative. Snapchat, that's the thing that keeps me coming back every day. They change up the filters.
Starting point is 01:03:15 And they're really well done. They're very realistic. Here's where I agree with you and disagree with you at the same time. You are 100% correct. The face filters are way better in Snapchat, it's what I hate about Snapchat. I hate the face filters, I just hate, I do with my kids, but we don't record anything,
Starting point is 01:03:32 but I stopped watching people's stories on Snapchat because it's just them in a different filter, or just in a different filter every day. You know, and some voices and fun stuff. Some people do fun stuff. Like, you know, Holly from the community, she's been to like RTX a bunch of different times. She, I follow her on Snapchat and she does like the filter
Starting point is 01:03:53 especially with the voice changes. And then she does like super aggressive pulp fiction quotes in the mouse voice and stuff like that. It's really funny. I had a badge notification stuck on my Instagram app. And it drove me so crazy that I just deleted that I had to do a purchase. I would delete it for a badge. You mean a little red number? We're not going. Yeah, I don't understand people who Can use their phone and have like unread notification the other day
Starting point is 01:04:16 I saw that as her had 67,000 unread emails on his phone. Yeah, Matt's the same way Matt's inbox is just one long chain going back to the history of when he had email. And I just, I would, I couldn't stand it if it was exactly. I'm an inbox zero kind of gal. What do you have? 9,000. Oh no, I have just 56 miss phone calls. Just open the phone app.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Just. So I do it. Oh, I have two emails right now. And they're unread because I haven't like addressed them yet because I haven't really started working. And I always know how many emails I have on my phone. I'm at three right now.
Starting point is 01:04:52 I try to keep it like single digit and try to work through unread emails. And oh shit. I probably have like 13 because it's like really in the day. I have a couple of different email management software programs that come in and help me manage the workflow. Like there's one that sits there. It's so hot.
Starting point is 01:05:10 And you see like heuristics, it can kind of figure out how important email is. What's a heuristic? Like a learning algorithm. It figures out what's important to me and what's not. And then it'll put stuff. Nothing is important. In my inbox and then other stuff into like a separate box. And then once a day, it's like, here's the'll put stuff nothing is important. In my inbox and then other stuff into a separate box. And then once a day, it's like,
Starting point is 01:05:27 here's the less important stuff you may have missed. And I was like, okay, then I'll scan through it. Like, oh no, this was actually important. That's so cool. Like these, I don't need to know about. You can tell it, hey, this is important. And then it's learning more all the time. Like this was actually important, this was not important.
Starting point is 01:05:39 And it just kind of like learns about who you interact with and how you interact with. So blame emails are like top priority. I, anyone, I'm sure I didn't say this. Dude, dude, dude. Yeah, absolutely do it, don't think. Anyone who emails me from within the company
Starting point is 01:05:52 automatically gets, like, I can see them right away. There's no, there's like, they bypass my filter. Okay. It's like, I see your email. Why are we usually, like, hesitant to say that? I don't know. Because you don't want people to company mailing you. I don't know if then people outside the company
Starting point is 01:06:04 can spoof a company email address. Now they've set it. I don't know if that easy to do anymore? I don't know. You want people to accompany mailing you? I don't know if then people outside the company can spoof a company email address. Now they've set it. I think it's that easy to do anymore. I remember that. Oh no, it's still super easy. Like I remember sending emails from fake email addresses to people in trolling them all the time. No, it's not one in Kershap.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Hey, when people find my email and it's like, no, shit, Buzzyn talked about that. Yeah, it's good that you brought it up though. Do you guys have reminders in your phone or something that happen every week or every day? Remind you, I don't mind. I really need to watch my last vlog. Sorry, it's tailor-made for you.
Starting point is 01:06:35 It's all about tilt shift. And then I went through a whole thing for my last vlog about motivation and how do you stay motivated? And I was talking about inspiration and how when people talk about staying inspired and working on things and staying busy and being creative, that, or fitness or whatever,
Starting point is 01:06:49 that they always attribute that to motivation and I got to stay motivated. And I was talking about my personal philosophy, which is I don't believe in motivation because motivation is the emotional component of inspiration. You got to wait for it to come to you. The trick is how do you do it when you're not motivated? Like how do you always continue to work?
Starting point is 01:07:05 And that's to discipline. And you're one of the most disciplined people I know. Like, you sit there and track everything that you eat. You know, if you, if, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it Do you ever go 36 hours without going to the gym? Yeah, I'll have rest days. That's running a little long. I might be sick or something, because that's the case. And then, but to answer your question, yeah, I use a program called To Do List, which is a To Do List.
Starting point is 01:07:34 I'm a To Do List junkie. To Do List is great. Yeah, and this To Do List, you can just say add this to my To Do List every day. Add this every Thursday. Add this every third day. This is an app. Does it do?
Starting point is 01:07:45 Amazon Echo. It's a good question, I don't know. So I'm gonna check that out. That's how it works. They recently made some updates to it. It's cross platform, it goes to your desktop and everything else. So you can just update it wherever you want.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Can you do reminders on your phone? I do reminders every day at 3pm, it says take care routine. And then on Sundays, it says floss. I use the, I think the only recurring thing that I really use on my phone, aside from calendar obviously, is like the bedtime. I use that. I use that for a few people use that. Because it's fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 01:08:16 It screwed me over. It made me wait for work. I think in a shoot. I don't know. And I don't want to bother figuring it out. It's like the Seinfeld episode where there are all the different ways in the alarm clock can go wrong. It's the best way to wake up.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It's way better than the normal alarm. Like the way it slowly starts at a low volume and then you kind of like slowly come out of sleep instead of just being jarred and scared. It's somehow fucked me over twice I gave it a chance or three times in, I don't trust it anymore. So he's bedtime and a regular alarm bedtime is ten minutes before my Get out of bed right arm. So like I ease in and then I can like kind of snooze
Starting point is 01:08:54 I think what had happened was like one of them over Took the other one because I also did that I did a backup alarm to safety and they both like cancel each other out or something What's your alarm strategy, Bernie? I'm trying to pull up a bunch of due lists here to show Blaine. Evan who works with us, actually I think, has one of the best strategies ever. A problem I'm currently trying to solve in my life is how quickly I pick up and check social media, just like rotate through it, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, you know? And it's just like, it's such a waste of time,
Starting point is 01:09:25 not even contributing, just reading stuff. And like the only thing I think I find really valuable is people communicating at me on Twitter. I check almost all of those. I got really furious because I realized the other day, Twitter is now no longer showing me all of my mentions. That's why he's tweet bot. Because the Twitter app is garbage.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah, it's infuriating. I went in tweet bot and I'm like, oh, there's like, I thought no one's mentioned me, this sounds so weird. No one's mentioned me, no one's added me, messaged me in like an hour. And that's weird that on Twitter that it would be over an hour
Starting point is 01:09:57 between someone messaging at me. And so then I went to Tweetbot and yeah, I had five in the last hour that I just didn't see your Twitter wasn't showing to me. And then I saw them tweet bought it. And yeah, I had five in the last hour that I just didn't see. Your Twitter wasn't showing to me. And then I saw them in subsequent hours, or previous hours, I saw that there were other mentions that didn't. So it wasn't just like a timing thing
Starting point is 01:10:11 and just they weren't gonna show it to me. The only thing I use the Twitter app on iOS4 is either posting a poll or using the integrated GIF function in it. Dude, I always feel like when I go to post a GIF, pause every time I say it now. And when I go to post a gift, pause, every time I say it now, when I go to post a gift, it's a crapshoot of whether or not it's gonna have motion
Starting point is 01:10:29 and it or not by the time it gets to Twitter. Like, I can copy it from Google Image Search. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's cool. So I have to now use that integrated thing. But in answer to your question to alarm strategy, one of the things I want to adopt is what Evan Bregman does is he does not allow screens in his bedroom.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Like the phones stay outside the bedroom. They charge in the living room. So then they wake up with normal alarm clocks and then get up and go find their phones. So you can't have a phone in bed. I'm an adult and I can just put my phone down. Well, that's true. In bed. For a period of time, I would charge my phone.
Starting point is 01:11:01 You're a phone in your bedroom? Don't do that. Don't do that. So I had to get out of bed to turn off my line. Yeah, Nase had this alarm clock so it would run away from you. Yeah, it's awesome. Get up and fuck those things.
Starting point is 01:11:10 Just stand up. That's just get out of bed. I'm horrible. I'm gonna argue in my case to have my phone by my bed because being a business relationship is something does happen in I need to contact a lot or she needs contact me. Because sometimes there's a two-hour time difference between us and San Francisco. So she's out and I go to like contact a lot of her. She needs contact me because like, you know, sometimes like, there's a two hour time difference between us and San Francisco.
Starting point is 01:11:26 So she's out and I go to sleep before she gets back home. I want to know like, okay, she got home safe. Like she messages you in two a.m. And so like I found somebody better. That kind of thing. That kind of thing. Emergency. Oh, I don't remember this thing here.
Starting point is 01:11:40 There's no one better than you play. Oh, thanks. One reminder one this episode of the podcast is also brought to you by the Mummy. The Mummy Zero Gravity VR was a big success during this year's South by Southwest. Now it's available at 30 Rock. It's open to the public now through June 11th from 9am to 6pm daily. Enter off the plaza on 49th Street side.
Starting point is 01:11:57 The experience features all kinds of props from the film and there's a photo op with the sarcophagus. Make sure to check out the Mummy Zero Gravity VR experience now at 30 Rock. And if you want to know what that's like, we actually filmed a R.T. Life, or Michael and I filmed an R.T. Life during South by Southwest where we got a chance to check it out. It was really cool, use of VR, really cool way
Starting point is 01:12:14 to see behind the scenes and how they film, a scene like this that was probably the most iconic scene in the trailer where people are, where they actually do in practical effects where they use the bomb on comment. Yeah, and they film everyone in practical effects, where they use them on a comment. Yeah, and they film everyone in 0G. It's a really cool experience. You really should check it out if you're in New York.
Starting point is 01:12:30 You have a chance to check out 30 Rock. Go check out the Mummy. Zero Gravity VR experience. That's fun. Not talking about the Mummy, talking about something different. I saw a ridiculous headline this morning that I had, I saw it was like, this is totally podcast talk. And I'm gonna bring it up right here.
Starting point is 01:12:47 The headline, it's on New York Daily News. This is the headline, I'm just gonna read the headline. He reads it to himself. Black man receives white penis transplant. Go ahead, my man. Plants to tattoo it to match his skin color. Oh, that's awesome. They can do a penis transplant.
Starting point is 01:13:04 That's awesome. Apparently it do it. Penis transplant. That's awesome. Apparently it's the second one. This team has done one once before. And so it sounds like the headlines kind of misleading. It makes it sound like a mistake, but no, that wasn't a mistake. So what they plan to do? This is Dick donor.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Apparently, there's a problem in. It's not going to stay to me. There's a problem in South Africa where, well, let me just read the first sentence. I'm going to have a circle. What do you think is having a surplus of white penises? I don't know what to do. There's a problem in South Africa where, well, let me just read the first sentence from that article. Serious of white penises. I don't know what to do with it. A 40-year-old black man received a penis transplant from a white donor 17 years after
Starting point is 01:13:33 he lost his own penis in a routine circumcision. I think that's a misuse of the word routine. I agree with you. Yeah. I, routine is not what I would use to describe that particular circumcision. Apparently South Africa has a problem with circumcision has gone wrong. And they have a very high number of penis amputations or partial amputations every year. Fucking bum.
Starting point is 01:13:54 My God. And that's why this team of South African doctors now have pioneered this penis transplant technology. It seemed like you're focusing on the wrong technology. Yeah. This is a preventative case. Yeah. this penis transplant technology. It seemed like you're focusing on the wrong technology. This is a preventative case. Yeah. It's like, one, you don't have to do it.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Two, why the fuck is it getting fucked up? So frequently, if you are doing it. And this guy was getting circumcised at 23? Uh, ow. It's just a really, really bizarre story. And they said that the other guy, they did it once before and I think in December of 2014, that, you know, that went successfully and the guy was able to regain urinary and sexual functions with his penis. Like it healed fine, but it's like, I can't imagine
Starting point is 01:14:36 having to live through that. And then for this guy, going through medical tattooing of the penis. On your dick. Yeah, so that you wouldn't do Why you wouldn't do that? I think at least you get laid a lot more if you like, oh, by the way, I'm black, but my penis is white. I would get that. That's been nila dip. I'm gonna get what you're going for. Don't be on there. But I'm saying, it's just like,
Starting point is 01:14:56 if you had anything interesting that someone couldn't see, I feel like that's important. Like the dude on Reddit with two dicks. Or it's like, oh yeah. It's like you could have, because you have like a porn porn career right? It's like an usual thing that nobody's I'm not nobody's seen before. Frank and Dick. It's a little metal rods sticking out because we like there's no way. You got true. I really do. I really do. That's like saying a lot of people dying from car accidents. So we're going to pad the streets with pillows instead of putting sea belts in.
Starting point is 01:15:25 It's like just solve the circumstances. We kind of do that a lot, you know. I mean, the big event that happened in Manchester, not to bring this conversation down, I'm sure we're going to see very specific reactions of security measures to that event, to that specific event. Like, remember when the one guy went on the plane with a bomb in his shoe, now we all take our shoes off for the rest of time when we go through. Yeah, let's be real, we all have pre-check.
Starting point is 01:15:54 We all pre-check, but you don't do it. I do too now. Oh, so fucking sorry. But the thing where we all have to take off our shoes now, it's like, then some guy's gonna bring a bomb in a watch and no one will be able to bring their watch on a plane. Well, you're starting to get there with like the electronics band now. Yeah, they never do what they did before,
Starting point is 01:16:10 but we always react like they're good. Oh, now they're doing the shoe thing and they're gonna do it all the time. Yeah, they did it once. Yeah, they did it once and now we're all taking off our shoes forever. What's the electronic band? Well, there was a limited laptop band
Starting point is 01:16:24 from certain like Middle Eastern countries going, I, to the UK and to the US. And there's been talk about that potentially expanding to all international flights coming into the US, where your electronics cannot go into the cabin with you. Fuck. Oh, God, this is going to be so boring. You don't want the electronics in the cargo hold, though. I mean, it's like... I assume that those go through additional screening like another secondary What I'm saying is just problems that can happen with electronics where it's better to have a person there oh right You know that can just naturally happen with the electronics. Yeah better to have a person. What is your Samsung phone caught on fire in the cargo
Starting point is 01:16:56 Hold I think they're more targeting malicious use do they have fire suppression in cargo holds yet? Do they have fire? I believe there's limited fire suppression. It has. Pretty limited. They're not gonna haul around a bunch of water, I guess, halon canisters or something like that. You think they could just, I mean, do you pressurize it? Yeah, and then just, that's what to do,
Starting point is 01:17:15 invent all the oxygen. I know they're not in space. But, yeah. They're still so little oxygen at that altitude that you could be all right. Plus that air, super cold. Mm-hmm. That's not a cold fire. I feel fire could be all right. Plus that air super cold. That's not the fire.
Starting point is 01:17:26 It's cold, it's cold, it's fire. I feel it's fire. It's in tight fire. It's cold. I don't know if there's animals or if there's a sep. I have no idea how it always flies out. How are there animals down there? I think they just stick them in there.
Starting point is 01:17:39 That's why they always die. That's why I would never take my pets with me on a trip. I was talking to Andre. He's our guy that works in like, he does visual effects and stuff for live action. And he transported two cats from Canada. And I was like, that must have been a fucking hell process to get those cats down here. You ever take it a cat in a car?
Starting point is 01:17:56 Yeah, it's awful. But in an airplane though. They hate, cats hate everything. And they hate me in cars. I'm sure they can accolimate at some point and be taking them on enough cars. But go into the vet accolimate at some point if you take them on enough cars, but go into the vet or I'd have to bring Joe to the office every now and then.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Do they get on your shoulders? They pant. No, the worst thing they can do sometimes is, they'll get at your feet and lean on the pedals and then they'll get out of there. So you gotta get a carrier, man. Well, I have a carrier for Joe and then he howls in at the entire time.
Starting point is 01:18:22 So one of my best friends from Texas, moved to Hungary, lived there for like eight years. So she moved from Texas to Hungary with her two dogs. One of them was a pretty big dog, had to be in the cargo hold. One of them is a doxan. Sorry, I don't mean to sidetrack you here. You're about to. What are, are there no rules for taking an animal out to another country? Yeah, it depends on the in taking country.
Starting point is 01:18:44 So a lot of countries have a quarantine period Okay, yeah, Australia is a really strict one and Hawaii actually has a pretty restrictive one too Just because it's like so yeah, New Zealand does too. Okay, sorry, it just just curious But yeah, so I think yeah, it was like two weeks. I did like sit in a kennel just for observation So they lived in Hungary for like I don't know six years and years. And so at this point, these dogs are like insanely old. And she just moved back to the States. Actually, she moved to Ireland for a little bit and now she's back in the States.
Starting point is 01:19:09 So she has traveled all over the country with these dogs. Over the world. Yeah. Oh, sorry, yeah, all over the world. Yeah, and one of them's like 15 years old. Damn, how does he hold up? She's all right. Like, she made it. It was me some chill ass dogs.
Starting point is 01:19:22 I know. Yeah. Actually took a cat to and from Australia and had to put it in quarantine for a month every chill ass dog. I know. Yeah. And she took a cat to and from Australia and had to put it in quarantine for a month every time when she moved down there. Yeah. And if you're woken up and that cat's just like trying to like slit her throat.
Starting point is 01:19:32 I would be so lonely. I would be so sad if I would be there every day. I would drive the kennel place crazy. Just like, I'm just gonna hang out here all day. Can you do that? Yeah, you can visit, yeah. It's a lot of dedication. It's a lot of time to invest. And that's all stressed to put an animal through. Yeah.? Yeah, you can visit, yeah. That's a lot of dedication. It's a lot of time to invest.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And that's all stressed to put an animal through. Yeah. So to take them like that, yeah, I would never take my pet on a plane or anywhere. And it's weird, like I see, I think last year I was in the Houston airport. I think I took a photo of it, I should say I can find it. Where there was like the restrooms,
Starting point is 01:20:01 there was like the man's room, the women's room, and there was like a pet restroom. There was a sign for like a pet restroom in the airport. Nice, I saw one of those in Seattle. It's just like a little balcony where dogs can go out and pee. Like that's so smart, because then in Austin, you have to leave security and come back there.
Starting point is 01:20:16 You know what's a cool thing that I noticed about bathrooms is I've been in more and more places. I was just in Brooklyn this last weekend. There's in this hotel and their lobby bathroom was like- You know what I'm saying? And more and more places, I was just in Brooklyn this last weekend, and this hotel, and their lobby bathroom was unisex. And more and more unisex stuff, which is kind of neat to begin with, but I think a really cool effect of having a unisex bathroom is,
Starting point is 01:20:35 the bathrooms stay way cleaner. Yeah. Are they one-holeers, or is it like stalls? It stalls, so it's like a room that has the sinks and then stalls with full doors, basically. Like floor to ceiling, you know, doors on them. And there's a whole row of those, just like eight or 10 of those.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Which is also, because then there's also way more. You have to worry about like when you know, you're at a stadium and the line for the... One line's really long. Yeah, it's super duper. For my experience, men's and women's bathrooms are equally filthy. It's just the urine is in different places.
Starting point is 01:21:10 Men's bathrooms is on the floor. Women's bathrooms, it's all over the toilet. It's all over the seat, yeah. I was having a conversation with the lawn because I went to a place and was like, oh, they had this guy cutting in front of me to go to the bathroom, I was like, should I go to the way for that guy,
Starting point is 01:21:22 but then they had a unit's like, bathroom's was like, oh, score. I can just go to the other bathroom. And then I started talking to Roy, and I wonder, do you think in like 15 years, they're gonna have like that joke? Some kids gonna be watching a movie where there's gonna be the joke,
Starting point is 01:21:33 where the guy goes into the girls' bathroom on accident, and that's gonna be like an antiquated joke. Yeah, I got to say it. Absolutely. I get what you're saying. Like people are gonna be like, what is, I don't know, I'm gonna understand that. I have, we're like, oh, you said,
Starting point is 01:21:43 why is there no smoking sign in this classroom that's absurd? Yeah, yeah. What's the thing that you think of for that the most? Like something that has been lost a time and no longer makes sense as a joke. For as a moment, phone booths is a big one. Phone booths to get what a Superman changing the phone booth.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Anything else to do with phone booths is, yeah, out of date. That big Vodaville hook coming from off. Off stage. That's still funny. I always think about the movie Polterguys. They would talk to the ghosts after they played the national anthem and the television station went off the air and went to static.
Starting point is 01:22:10 And people were like, people were like, what is that? It's not even off the air, but it's also static, Scott. Yeah, there's no static anymore. It's blue. Well, it's sort of in the same vein, but I feel like horror movies is a genre, a really screwed over by technology, because for a long time, it could be like,
Starting point is 01:22:24 you're stranded in the middle of nowhere and have no way to call for help. But now, cell phones are so ubiquitous that, you know, there's that, so you have to almost build into the plot, a rationale, try to wipe the phone. Even sign fells have been kind of ruined by that. So a lot of sign fell plots are like,
Starting point is 01:22:38 oh, if they could just had a cell phone or it could just call someone, this would be solved. That episode where they're waiting for the Chinese restaurant. Yeah. I think that's why they're doing a lot of like period pieces. Like not only like the best. That episode where they're waiting for the Chinese restaurant. Yeah. I think that's why they're doing a lot of like period pieces. Like not only was the 80s like a cool period, but it also like cell phones were as common.
Starting point is 01:22:51 So I think that that's why like some horror movies are like, yeah, it was, you know, the back in the 80s, it's from a cell phone. Well, I think even some films for a while try to embrace the cell phone side of things. Like there was that, he was a Korean horror film that I think there was a US version called one missed call was like a horror film that centered around Yeah, like around cell phones and around like missing a call that
Starting point is 01:23:13 It was kind of like the ring or it's like there's this phone call and you're gonna die if you hear it Mm-hmm that kind of stuff. I kind of hate that if you ever watch a modern horror movie or or anything like I watched God, what's that movie called? Your Next? Pretty shit, I didn't like it. But I thought it was terrible. The one that the director made after that was good, though, the guest.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Anyways, that was like one of the first things they addressed. As soon as the shit started hitting the fan, they were like, oh, my phone reception is gone. I hate that we have to like check that box off for any sort of horror movie. And that's a shit on us, but like we had to do it in day five. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's like that.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Everyone's dead. Cell phone towers died. Died. Eventually no one's there to maintain them. Yeah, reboot, whatever. Yeah. Second technology. Making writing harder.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Yeah. Should be ashamed. Yeah, it's a, but I'm sure we'll find there'll be something new, right? There's always like, it's something. It's always something different. It's always something different that pops up and that's, that'll be something new, right? There's always like, it's something different. There's always something different that pops up and that'll be the new thing that we focus on. So changing the subject a little bit.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Texas Monthly had their annual best barbecue in Texas list. Texas Monthly is at his magazine. And the best barbecue in Texas, was it Austin? Was it all Texas? Number one, it has been Franklin for a while, not Franklin No, number one is Snowes never even heard of it in Lexington. Where's that Lexington Texas Lex I don't know where this I don't
Starting point is 01:24:37 Look at I bet it's in East Texas. I don't like paintball much Franklin is now number two for best barbecue and snows has popped up to number one. I just looked up Lexington, Texas on Google and it has the little you know how some little side panel has information about the city had like a map of it and it showed the little county where Lexington's in and then the only thing of note on there was Snow's barbecue. You can see look at that. Snow's barbecue for the entire city. The default view of Lexington Texas. Where's that in relation to Austin?
Starting point is 01:25:07 I will look that up for you right now. Cause I am a little bit sick. So Cooper's is on the top 50 list, but they only rank the top 10. Oh, it's not far at all. It's between here and college station. Oh, that's cool. It's a little bit hard to get to,
Starting point is 01:25:20 but it's, it's. It's not too 90? Yeah, you have to go to 90 and then, like you can't, you should be able to just cut across the air, but you have to kind of go around and get to that it's it's not too 90. Yeah, you have to go to 90 and then like you can't you should be able to just cut across there but you had to kind of go around and get to that I guess. What's uh I'll go I'll go. I'll go. It's a 53 minute drive from our office. Fuck that. Let's go this weekend. What's uh what's the best barbecue in Austin aside from Frank Lonsman? You're been to Michael. I'm like actually trying to like make a wait. Make a wait. You're been to... Michael Fwaite. I'm like actually trying to like... Michael Fwaite.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Michael Fwaite. Michael Fwaite. No, Michael Fwaite. Michael Fwaite. Michael Fwaite. Tom is an old friend. It's Michael Fwaite. Michael Fwaite.
Starting point is 01:25:53 Michael Fwaite. I'll check it out. Craft meets. I just like brisket a whole lot. They're great, good brisket. I think the best thing about Michael Fwaite is their size. I think a lot of barbecue places. It's 100% Michael Fwaite.
Starting point is 01:26:04 Yeah. Michael Fwaite. I've never been. A lot of places skimp, a lot of barbecue places. It's 100% mcgleth weight. Yeah. Mcgleth weight. I've never been. A lot of places skimp, a lot of our cue places focus on the meat and skimp on the sides where I think the sides are really good there. Ooh, sizes important. You recognize it's spelled with a TH though. Yeah, I'm gonna ignore that.
Starting point is 01:26:16 Okay. You're saying mcgleth weight? No, mcgleth weight. Okay. What's, I think my only exposure to is its salt lick is in the airport? Still hard to get like that, but not bring around guys. Yeah. That's what it is. That's what it's Salt Lake is in the airport? Still hard to check, I'm not bringing around, guys. Yeah. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 01:26:26 That's great. Way to keep the street alive. Yeah, Salt Lake is one of the most overrated places. It's kind of a tourist trap, I feel. Yeah, and you're the kind that go out to drip in or wherever the hell it is. It's like they have the family style stuff where it's like all you can eat
Starting point is 01:26:39 and you take out a town visitor. I felt like that for a long time for Salt Lake and then I went there with it. And Ed Robertson was in town. And we went there because he really wanted to go there. And it was fantastic. Yeah. It was just I was like, why don't I just live right next
Starting point is 01:26:53 to Salt Lake like a mile away from Salt Lake where we first were working on River versus Blue. And I got so sick of it because we only placed the eatout there was Salt Lake. And I was like, oh, you're so lucky. It's like, the only place to eat out there was Salt Lake. And everyone's like, oh, you're so lucky. It's like, nah, I can only eat so much Salt Lake. Salt Lake is not on the top 50 list. Yeah, it's good now.
Starting point is 01:27:12 You know, this is good in Austin. Good place to go. Rudy's. Rudy's is always good. Rudy's underrated. I like their stuff. Yeah. Rudy's massively underrated.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Only because it's so easy to eat there. Everywhere else, it's like, you have to jump to hoops just to eat barbecue. There's a place called Style Switch. Up on the mark. It's so easy to eat there. Everywhere else, it's like, you have to jump to hoops just to eat barbecue. There's a place called Style Switch. Up on the mark. It's so good. It's garbage. It's garbage.
Starting point is 01:27:30 No, you're wrong. I guess I did drink a eight-throw one, I was hungover, but man, I think I'd make it better if you're hungover. A lot of the time, you're like, oh, you're right. Taco Bell is amazing when you're hungover. Amazing. No.
Starting point is 01:27:42 We didn't imagine about this. Food is terrible when you're hungover. Yeah, it's my favorite. It would hangover for you. I had to, like, just pour something down when I'm hungover. Amazing. No. We didn't imagine about this. Food is terrible when you're hungover. Yeah, it's my favorite. It's my favorite. Hangover. I had to, like, just force something down when I'm hungover. It makes me feel better when I'm done, but I wouldn't say I enjoy the act of the food itself.
Starting point is 01:27:53 So I switched it. So I switched it. It's on the top 50. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 01:28:00 Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Oh, is number eight. Oh, yeah. I've heard you say lots of good things about corkscrew barbecue. But it's a chocolate crafty. That sounds like a hipster place in East Austin. If you're coming to RTX in Austin this July,
Starting point is 01:28:15 that's a handy list for you to check out and eat some barbecue in your income. We actually have a vlog that we wanna do before RTX, which is, we did this thing where we went to the barbecue tour down in Lockhart and that was a fun one of people like that, where we went to three different barbecue places. And after the second one, I predicted some people were going to be like, I'm not going to the third place, sure enough that happened, I thought that was funny. And I thought, why don't we just do that in Austin?
Starting point is 01:28:41 Like we go to every incredible restaurant in Austin, like Gordos and Michael Wait, like Franklin's home slice, go to all those places, all in one day, and it's just like one after the other, bang, bang, bang, bang. And with that from Louis, the bang bang. And see who could fall off, yeah, the bang bang. But like this would be like a all day thing, this would be like a hobbit like breakfast,
Starting point is 01:29:02 we get breakfast tacos from torches. Oh man. No, we just go through all the different places. I don't know if they've ever talked to someone. We get breakfast tacos from torches. Oh man. No, we just go through all the different places. Or the breakfast tacos from somewhere. Get some ramen from ramen tacos. I don't know. Actually Adam L.s did that once. He ended the night of Fogo de Chal,
Starting point is 01:29:13 but all day before he was going to home slice, going to like, Oh yeah, I think he did a massive cheat day or something like that. I think you're right. I think you did do that. Would you guys be in? You want to do it?
Starting point is 01:29:22 I would totally be down here. I can put away some food. If it's on a Saturday or Sunday because weekends are a little bit loose. And it's your cheat day Sunday. Yeah, Sunday's my cheat day. I've actually got a nice system now where I switch out one week
Starting point is 01:29:34 I'll do home slice on Sunday and in the next week I'll do VIA 313 and I'll go back to home slice. And then it'd be clear he eats an entire home slice pizza for his cheat day. An entire large one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:43 I'd probably do that. I'd probably do that. I'd probably do that. I'd probably do that. I'd probably do that. I entire large one. Yeah. I probably did that. I probably did that. Yeah, the eight slices. Yeah. You didn't have y'all had. That's fucking thick. I put it down easy. Have you had that balsamic prosciutto pizza
Starting point is 01:29:52 at via three and three? I don't fuck. The fucking best thing I've ever eaten in my life. I just get the cheese and I get the pepperoni and I'm set. I don't want to try anything else. You got to try the speeds I did. So good. But okay, the risk that I run is if I get that,
Starting point is 01:30:09 and then I fuck it up and I don't like that pizza, did I have to go another two weeks before I get to try it? Oh, I see what you check. Why don't you go with Becca? She can order that pizza and you can smell it to see if it's something you wanna eat, right? I don't want to, balsamic, it's just like, I don't know what the prosciutto is.
Starting point is 01:30:24 When we did that make our own pizza, I think for pizza hut a couple of years ago, I think we had a balsamic drizzle on the pizza because we realized that balsamic actually works really well on a pizza. It's a little bit sweet, so good. So I want to mention that if anybody wants to send podcast themes, we're looking for more.
Starting point is 01:30:44 You can send them to podcastatruscethe.com right there. So if you have original music for us to play in the outro, 60 seconds or less, send it our way and maybe you'll hear it in an upcoming podcast. In your fidget spinners. What's Nesca Betje? It's like the pickled carrots and onions and jalapeno that you see at a Mexican restaurant. I don't like that. You don't like that?
Starting point is 01:31:04 I don't like that. You don't like that I'm looking at Michael weights Menu as they have a brisket Frito pie. That's really good. Oh He's getting chile cheddar cilantro. Let's give H.A. Red onion and Karema I thought blended in there best Mexican in Kocina de Consuelo. Where's that it's's on Burnett, just north of 45th by Pacha. Okay. Big weight, long weight. No, no weight.
Starting point is 01:31:29 I have one. Um, what I go to the Oro, is it South, South Congress in 290? Okay. Or Habanero Cafe, which I think is really good. It's a South first in Old Turf. We spoke in New. We know it. I've never, I've never, you probably thinking Tex Max, these two... Soft, first and all, tour of. Eat, max, and you can't see. We spoke new. We know it. I've never, you probably thinking Tex-Mex,
Starting point is 01:31:46 these two, you know, best Tex-Mex and all. Borego is Tex-Mex, okay. I've never eaten that borego. I've always wanted to eat there. It's good. It's so good. Damn, I always passed that place, and I was wondering about it.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Go down to Buda, it's a little bit of a hike, a little bit, go into the main street in Buda, there's a place called Garcia's. And you have what is Joel Hamon's favorite thing to eat in the whole world, which is the chicken Garcia. It's a fried chicken breast with casal on it. That's awesome. I love some casals.
Starting point is 01:32:12 It's so friggin' good. It is so good. It's good. I haven't had that since we left the office down in Buda. Yeah, that was good. I forgot about that. I forgot the place to even name Garcias. Yeah, super healthy too.
Starting point is 01:32:22 I had a successful routine. Every time I would go to Buda, I would then go to Colors. Oh yeah, that was great. Yeah, super healthy too. I had a little routine. Every time I would go to Bueta, I would then go to Culver's. Oh yeah, yeah. Go on. It's a little hamburger stand, little they have custard though, which is some poor kid in Washington's listening to this podcast. Oh, fuck. No, I think Culver's is a chain. Culver's chain starts from Minnesota, I think. Somewhere in the Midwest, yeah. Yeah, my kids, my kids love it, but we were going there for, oh, the one in Buda, but there was one on William Cannon. This also went up North. Yeah, right. By the domain, yeah. But we've been going there for, oh, the one in Buda, but there was one on William Cannon. There's also one up North. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:32:45 By the domain, yeah. But we've been going there for such a long period of time, we don't call that restaurant culverts, we call it BlueRoof. Because Teddy would call it BlueRoof, and he was a little kid. And he was like three years old, so we go to BlueRoof. All right, well, speaking of that,
