Based on Japan's highest selling manga series in history by Ichiro Ola, one piece is a legendary high-seize adventure unlike any other, and it's out now only on Netflix. Luffy is a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom for us long as he can remember. He sets off on a perilous journey to find the legendary treasure to become King of the Pirates. But in order to find this treasure, Luffy will need to find a ship and assemble a crew. Once he sets sail, he was searched the vast ocean and outward dangerous rivals with the help of his loyal shipmates and legendary fighting abilities. This is an incredible world ruled by pirates filled with mysterious fruits that grant superpowers

and talking snails that people use as telephones. Yes, you heard that right. Snailphones. But beyond the fantastic elements, the people of this world are driven to search far and wide for the legendary treasure known only as the one piece. We are super excited to watch it out now only on Netflix. Welcome to the only show that regularly forgets to text their mom happy birthday. It's the R&D podcast.

I am one of your hosts, Armando Torres, joining me as always is. Andrew Rosas. And I honestly always forget which day it is. Specifically, I know where it's signed. So I know general. What's the sign? Libra. Libra.

So I know it's coming up after this. It's coming up. It's coming up soon. Soonish. I love that you're like regularly. Some might say annually. Yeah, okay. The issue, I have like everyone

in my family has an October birthday. And I can't keep them straight. It's too many. Welcome to the only show. It's like my friends. I can't keep them straight. Welcome to the only show born from Lib friends, I can't keep them straight. Welcome to the only show born from Libra Season. It's the RT podcast.

We have a great show for you today. The crew from F*** face is stopping by to play some Google trends. We have got some advice on how to make friends as a boring grown up. And as always, we turn headlines into punchlines and always on. But before that, we started talking about something during our last writer's room, which is something that I've talked about probably multiple different places. Recently, I saw a woman who had a curly mustache tattoo on her on the inside of her finger. What an artifact. What a time capsule. So she needs a calcium pill is what you're talking.

She's she was taking a one a day for women. Absolutely. Yeah. Without question. I love so much millennial humor because it did not age at all. And there is a whole generation of idiots out there who have the fucking middle finger curly mustache tattoo or the like thick rim nerd glasses tattoo. Oh God, in the form of a thin lined arrow tattoo. Oh, so many of that. I got a fucking face tattoo, say bacon,

but I'm never show it I covered it up with Buretis for horrendous That's why you'll never see me shaved Humor and fads that age aged like a Chuck Taylor filled with milk just like the grunt like awful terrible stuff The mustache finger tattoo one one of the words, it's just that like epic bacon Viking shit. That's what I'm saying.

That makes me want to redact it. Yeah, yeah. It's like the weird obsession with like, like the IPA beer, bacon, like, remember epic food was epic meal time? Epic meal time baby. That was ruined in generations. What do you mean a ruined in generation?

You can use the lexicon of dialogue for an entire generation in the way that we will never recover from. I figured. And they're the ones who started it. That was as a man who regularly eats lasagna made out of 32 different McDonald's orders. I think that they changed the game in a good way.

No, I think you're completely right. Yeah, they did that thing. My favorite bullshit about any of this, by the way, this is a smaller side, is that when I went to this little place called Le Fonds, they are so fucking behind on like American and English slang. And when I was there, so many people would say that something was epic. Oh my god.

If you want a fucking dot. Because I went there last year. Oh. This was not like, oh, I went to France in 2011. They were still using epic. They're like a full decade behind. Yeah. That's crazy.

They had, I saw a billabong t-shirt and a guy who said epic. And I wanted to fucking redact it. Okay. So can I, can I pause something to y'all? Yeah. That I find interesting. and a guy who said epic and I wanted to fucking redact it. Okay, so can I, can I pause it something to y'all? That I find interesting. So most slang, most popular slang with young people starts in like the queer communities. Then makes it way to the black community.

Which is the black community and makes it way to the queer communities and makes a way to white teenagers in the suburbs. Eventually, all that like epic, like all of the millennial slang seems to have not followed that trajectory. That started in like marketing boardrooms, which is why it has aged so terribly and sucks to hear.

And it's the opposite of funny is because it had no like organic point of origin. It was completely synthetic. It was like, yeah, that's my theory on it. I'm glad that I've called you all in here to this board of meeting today. I wanted to pause it. A new word to describe things anywhere between an exceptional human feet that somebody has taken

to avocado toast. And I have come up with the term epic. You know that thing that we used to describe stories so astounding that they could have- That's it, hundreds of thousands of years. What if- What if your friend choked a beer really? That was on the same level as Odysseus returning home.

To see somebody else trying to fucking, oh, the poets will sing of this night. What does it mean? It's so fucking grandiose for something that is, it's never epic. Oh, absolutely. It's always something fucking. Yeah, it's like, I beg to differ.

Guys, I do the thing. Oh my God. Oh my God. I did a thing and adulting makes me want to fucking die every single time that I get. Yeah. I don't know. Do you guys think of yourselves as grownups?

Well, just by age alone, just by going from pure numbers, I am a geriatric millennial. I am right in the wheelhouse for all these things to be ingrained in my personality. But I think I had, and I hope, this is false modesty aside, I think the fact that I've been like doing comedy for over 12 years shielded me from that kind of, from taking on that lexicon that I think was a shorthand

for a lot of people thinking they were funny. So I think I kept that, you know, I kept that from infecting my personality at bay because I was actually doing comedy when all that stuff was like making its way through ultimate or ultimate frisbee and disc golf weeks. Like, you know what I mean? Now that is interesting.

He did say Bay in that sentence though. So it seems like not everything made it out. Oh my God, look down. The mustache she was on my finger now. It starts with forms. Yeah, exactly. What the hell? I, yeah, there's so many slang that like,

what I feel better about is that when, when all of that slang was really popular is when I was in high school. So like people, I was going to say that nobody was giving themselves tattoos, but then I forgot how many stick and poke tattoos. They could shave each other. Because I basically went to a prison that taught English class. So a prison.

Yeah. Yeah. I, at the very least, can attribute most of those word usages to being in high school and being a middle school. Yeah, you weren't like 30 with like a slick back thing and a twirly mustache and suspenders and 3D glasses you stole from a 40 movie. No, that part is pop-down.

That part actually was. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. Let me see how fast I can pull up this picture. So you're on that end of the spectrum. I was on the other end of the cringe spectrum. I was like a, I was like a,

I was like a seen kid, which is the opposite end of that cringe. So I just had a lot of highlight colored skinny jeans and like, the ugliest shirts you've ever seen. Mondo. Boom. We'll put that on the God Almighty.

I don't know that you can see this, but my, the videos. Yeah, I'll send a picture to our editor, but you can see those are actually taken from an IMAX theater. You saw it. You see it. I saw it.

I knew it was like, you saw it. I'm fucking having time. Rios Kiyoko, over there. Yeah. That's a very good joke. Yes, I was real come whole. No. So, you know, I think a lot of that, so I'm going to try to do the forensics on this in the

other direction, which is millennial culture, I think, is beset by an overabundance of sincerity. Okay. And it's why, and like, listen, I love being sincere. I think like being sincere in like your personality, your human, your emotions is important. Like that, it got so super saturated with a millennial culture that like,

they ceased to feel a very important emotion, which is shame. And yeah, we got to bring shame. And we got to bring shame. If we need to bring shame and bullying back in my opinion. Oh my God. Those of you who have made me the person I am today and I'm better for it. Also make sex better.

Anyway, so the thing about it, the thing about it is. It's like a tholus of the guys. I think if we all want the church, we don't need that. I think I, my brain broke for a second. I thought you meant millennial culture made sex better. No. Decidedly worse. I thought you met millennial culture made sex better. No I'm not really worse. I just imagined coming and going I did a thing I did a thing on your back. Oh my god. Oh my I would I just eat

Smoldering crater where I would have been Can I give it can I make it worse for you? Please. Epic. That might be the worst possible thing of it. I hate you. And the audio listeners at home hate you too. And because you're, because guess what? You are fucking to the Hamilton soundtrack.

Oh my God. Okay, I never got in the Hamilton. Of course, but never. And here's the thing, I love musical theater. So I love American history, but I guess I just hate Lin-Manuel Miranda. I feel like we're gonna get assassinated for the things that we're about to say. We don't like Hamilton or anything. To say that we don't like Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Oh yeah, that's it. No, no, we're fine. He's peek-ble-a-boo. No, he's, we're fine because people have finally seen the light and have come around in the fact that he is, and Hamilton is peak millennial cringe. Yeah. Like just take your MPR tote bag and you're patting yourself on the back for liking a cultural thing that like your first introduction to hip hop quote, big fucking, fucking scare

quotes. And that Hamilton's really good. I've heard that many times for many white teachers. I've heard a lot of white choir teachers tell me that that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the greatest rapper of our generation because he actually has something to say. And then I listen to it and he's like, I'm in Congress.

I'm on the floor of Congress and all of us, we go against the flow with this, it's like that. He just says that and that it's about history, so they're like, fine with it. I had to play a Lin-Manuel Miranda character when I was in high school. I was Usnavi in the Heights, which is certainly the first one.

Yeah, isn't that just West Side Story? Pretty similar. But yeah, I thought it was exactly West Side Story. It's, it's like West Side Story if the music was bad hip hop music. Okay. That's what I'm saying is like being, I got that role because I dropped a mixtape. Okay. Yeah.

And my mixtape was like, I'm fucking sad. And I do drugs and everyone is dumb. And then the choir teacher heard that and went, I can shape you into a real musician. The vampire thing came out there like, I can teach you. Yeah, she wanted to do the blind side, but for a theater or a future. Do you have a place to stay to mat?

Really not. This is my mom. They spend weekends with my dad. What are you talking about? Come on, buddy. You're going to build a set. Have you never had one of these before? No, this is my first pitch pipe.

I've never had my own before. What? A role? A speaking role? I'm always an extra. I've played it three twice. One of my favorite things, again, I don't know, I don't think it's a joke because again, I don't think it's self-aware enough to know that it's a joke.

But in the Heights, when he's like, they're like, in some of the like dialogue, it's like, I didn't tell you about this wonderful place called Washington Heights. It's like, why did you put the snake, the like, I didn't tell you about this wonderful place called Washington Heights. It's like, why did you put the stag, like, like, you're talking normally and then put an affected accent on an English word. I remember hearing a preview for it and like, I'm having to almost pull over my car. What the fuck is happening? You know what's great is that actually brings in another piece of millennial cringe that really affects me. Because doing that where you go, let me tell you

about this wonderful place called Washington Heights is the same energy I feel when people go, oh do you want to go to Tarje? That's mom humor. Specific. That's mom humor specific. That's the same. Well, it is. To be fair, my mom is a millennium. Yeah, I'm glad. So it's so true. Oh my God. No, that's true. But it's not. My parents are born in the fucking A.V.

It's just like, it's like the trick, I guess the trickle down effect of like being uncool as you get older is like everyone that was like dunking on their moms for having their, their tusk and the kitchens with roosters everywhere. They all have like live laugh line posters and like cups and

shit houses now. Right. Right. You become the cringe you hate eventually. Oh yeah. Yeah. You true like to reference something else. It's very millennial culture of the dark night. You either die a hero live long enough. So just

become the villain or whatever that quote is. That's true. I can't stop over it. You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself fly to India to try to fix your shitty hair. You either die a hero, or live laugh love long enough to. I always wonder though, about how much Gen Z humor is gonna like, how much of it is actually gonna laugh.

So it's already kind of, they're already kind of becoming self-aware. I mean, that's the thing is that's, I think. And okay, this was my point originally. When Millennial humor was like really big, I was a kid. And I like a teenager shirt like on the cusp of becoming an adult, but now and I hate that I fucking become this person.

Now I truly believe you don't actually become an adult until you're like 25, and you don't become a competent adult until like 30. Like 35, yeah. Yeah, well, no, 30. You should have your shit together by 30. You're 35. No, it's almost 35.

I just feel, it's like the, yeah, 35. My point is, is that like, I think that when I was in it, I did not realize that any of that stuff was ironic. I thought it was cool. I did the glasses thing genuinely and sincerely. And I think all that stuff was like, lemme and like the bacon and the curly mustache. Like I think all the hipster shit.

Yeah. I think all that stuff was sincere. Yeah. I think all Gen Z humor is satirical. It's all satirical and insincere. Yeah. Not like a backlash, just because as a response to. It's more like, I was talking about someone about this

actually the other day that Gen Z has more in common with Gen Xers than they do with, it seems to be this kind of leapfrogging of facts. But now Gen Xers are just boomers like. Yeah, that is fair. All Jen Xers are boomers. And I have a lot of people that I know that are going to be really upset to hear that. Yeah, I think that like, you know, as opposed to the slang that used by millennials, Gen Z, we'll do this thing where like they'll say W. Riz.

Yeah. Like I was talking with BFT best friends today. Yeah. Where are local teens are local teams. Are local team gang. Yeah. And they're a gang. Oh yeah. They got they got nine. They got sticking posts. They actually did steal a Patrick from productions car yesterday. Genuinely for a sketch. So they'll they they'll, like I was hanging out with Sammy and Sammy will use the term W. Riz. And I was like, is that genuine?

And he goes, oh no, absolutely not. And if somebody did use it genuinely, you can tell and that's a fucking dork-ass move. And so that's what I think is weird is that like, they don't use it sincerely. And when you do use it sincerely, you get shit on the phone. I don't know. That's not really. But again, what do you, you know, not to bring it back to this, but do you,

what do you think about that analysis that like that millennial slang? I say slang. We, I mean, I think we've been using slang for a lot of like culture. Like it's kind of other shorthand for like millennial culture. Like came from a very kind of, a sincere but like pre-packed, feeling very synthetic, feeling, feeling very pre-packaged, whereas like Gen Z and like the, or whatever, like there's, what's the newest one after Gen Z? After Gen Z.

Alpha. Oh Christ. You just gotta start it. It's gotta gotta start over. It's gotta start back over. That has this kind of, culturally comes from a more organic place, but it is sort of more ironic and detached. But maybe in a good way kind of splits the difference between like being overly, like

having no shame in being overly sincere and tween gross. And then, but then also being like not as ironically detached as Gen X, which just like didn't care about anything. I think what are the hugest things and one of the things that we might be forgetting here is the fact that these phrases to come up with or to describe these different generations, primarily, and I wouldn't even say primarily, I think I would say solely, were invented by advertisers. So, my God, yeah, yeah.

So, to break down like who they're going to, to, yeah, to demonstrate. I would tell a shorthand. And I think what's funny is that Gen Z is so disingenuous and so good at understanding internet and advertising and media. And yeah, and media, what do you call literacy? It's off the fucking charts. So I think that you cannot predict what they're going to do next.

And I think that it's all stupid. I think that it's just like, what's the stupidest possible thing that I could possibly do in this moment? And that's gonna, yeah, I hit the fucking... Have you, I saw a watch the video of a woman who went, oh no, my mom hit the guitti on Dad's grave and she's fucking dancing on her dad's grave.

That fucking rock. It's absolutely fucking rocks. That's tremendous. I think, you know, it's interesting. I think growing up steeped, growing up dyed in the wool internet brain has inoculated Gen Z to the, like, horrors of reality.

To the horrors of reality. Well, and to the like, to the effects of being marketed toward and being like targeted as a demographic. And so they have been, they have been, they have a great deal more media literacy. Something that every generation before them is criminally bad at. That's how like it's like media literacy in the toilet. It's below the ground. It's below the ground. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's so bad. I think it's really interesting on your fucking point of like

Unraveling their brain what I think is great is that Griffin I did that through living in the trenches Which is what we call is going through the forechan of the world of the really deep internet bullshit Coming up on the other side. Yeah coming out on on the other shit. Yeah. Shinkardemption style. I didn't see a normal ad until I was a man. And by then it was nothing but blinding, which is another millennial trip. And so I think what's really funny is we desensitized ourselves and fucking ruined the ability for anyone to advertise to us or tell us what was cool. And now Gen Z just comes out the womb with that. Like that.

It's almost, yeah. It's almost like millennial bodies are a sort of fortune. Yeah. Yeah. They're a fortune incubation set or the births, fourth, they'll memelore that cannot be advertised to. They can't be advertised too. Yeah.

So I guess what we're trying to say is, I'm fucking go out there and get a risth tattoo. Yeah. No. I'm fucking right here on the middle finger right next to your curly mustache. Yeah. And, you know, send us a picture.

Hey, before we get started, we wanted to go ahead and tell you that if you want to support this show that we make, which includes a scripted sketch at the beginning of every episode, a fully produced game show, a headline joke series. And then also this, just fun talking and hanging out with buddies. The best way to do so is to go support us over on first. Here's a fun fact for you. Did you know that buying first, $5 a month is actually the equivalent of watching was 600

no 6000 yeah YouTube videos holy shit so that is the best way that you can support us we have a producer running out here to correct us 600 a month 6,000 a year so we were both correct that doesn't matter That doesn't at all. That doesn't add. If you subscribe to first, we can finally afford to teach our producers basic arithmetic. That's right. So go ahead and subscribe to first and go watch stuff there

because you don't even have to subscribe to first. If you watch the videos on the rooster tea site, that is such an insanely good way to help us out. So go ahead and do that. We love you so much. And we're going to start off with that first segment. Make it loud for the face crew. It's time for a Google Trends game. Woo! Let's go. Welcome everybody to Best Trends, a show where we take two sets of best friends and see who's able to tell what's trending most. And by best friends, I obviously mean our team employees that were free to do this segment.

We've heard I was here to play, baby. We've got two teams today and they will go head to head trying to pick out the trendiest terms that a bunch of people tried to Google. On my right, your left is our blue team, Griff and Andrew. Woo! No noise. No, I said, woo.

I just realized that when I set up, I'm out of camera, so I've got to, I've got to out. Yeah, yeah. Do you guys have a team name for yourselves? Should you just only have a sense? Something smells. I hope we're going to be able to keep up

with how quick these guys are. Yeah. Smell you later. Smell you later. Yeah. OK. And we'll come up with a team name later, too. On my left, you're right. It you later. Yeah, okay, and we'll come up with a team name later too on my left. You're right

It is the baseball card boys and my best bosses Ramsey and Eric But Thank you. Now that is a lot of noise That's how you get the round of applause. Our team name is Cool Shades, and we were both supposed to wear shades. Yeah, we're hat.

I thought that it was like a, like, wear it low. Free shoes. I should have, we should have allowed. It provides shade. Yeah, so we're both providing shade for our eyes. Yeah. All right. I feel like a peanut scary.

I was like, you look like a homie. Look, I came out of a, a GD-ending machine. Finally. Well, he is from SoCal. Also, for the record, I don't have any friends, but if I were to have friends, Eric would be in contention. Yeah, it's true.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're a lot like Gus. He once told me that he has no friends and no one has ever been to his house. Can we talk about that real quick? Because he told us that you keep trying to hang out with him, Gus doesn't hang out with people. He doesn't want to hang out with you and get dinner,

but he doesn't know how to say no. He again, to be very clear, he doesn't want to hang out with anyone. He doesn't want me. I'm the best. He's not best through. But also, he doesn't want to hang out with you. I love getting dinner with him. The reason you guys think that Gus was slick enough to make it seem like he wanted to

hang out, because I said, hey, Gus, would you ever want to go get dinner? And he went, left the room for a full five minutes where I could see him in the hole. And then came back in and said, yeah. Yeah, and a high pitch tone, yeah. Which is the clearest no he could ever get. Yeah, that's why I have not made any further plans to have dinner. You had to start a podcast with him to talk to him.

That's true. That is no joke. Dan must started because I hadn't seen Gus in a couple of years. And I didn't know how to do that. They just told the story where Gus needed to fire someone from the call center years ago, made Jeff do it. The guy said, no, make Gus do it. And then Gus didn't do it.

So he kept working. Gus came back and unfired the guy after he asked me to fire him, and the guy hated me for this year. That's what happened, Gus. That's what's trying to fire me, and I invited him out today. All right. He took the gun right out of his hand.

The game, yeah, I put it in McDonald's. On me for a second. This episode sponsored by Coke Zero. No. We're not allowed to say that any episode is sponsored by any beverage. This modelo is nice. 10 30 AM. It's number one beer in America right now, right? Yep.

That's the fall of Bud. And the fall of Daryl Cofet here. Ah, the game is simple. I am going to give you each a word, and you will deliberate with your team on which word can be paired with it. And then I will input both of your guesses into Google Trends to see which is trending higher.

So, so we're like word sommoliers. Um, yeah. If you can tell me which words kind of smell like what and what they pair well with. And how they pair well, yeah. Yeah. So your first word this week, we are celebrating the month of September, which is also the start of Hispanic Heritage Month.

And I say start because just like any Latina celebration, which is also the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. And I say start because just like any Latina celebration, it starts late and kind of carries over to the next month. Because it starts in the middle and goes in October. So because of that, your first word is Mexicans. And I would like to point out to anyone viewing or listening because it is not apparent. Both teams have specifically one half of a Mexican phrase.

Sure. It's a little bit. Just a little bit. We are going to give you one minute to deliberate on your marks. Get set. Go. So what pairs well with Mexicans? Yeah.

More C. Yep. His beverage. I'm trying to think like before, I'm trying to think of the word going before Mexicans or African Mexicans. So Mexicans. Blank or blank Mexicans. Let's see.

Like I think it's probably starts with Mexicans. You get like Mexicans are rich in cultural history. Or maybe if it's a second word, it's like lovely, fragrant Mexicans. Fragrant. Yeah, he said we have to match the smell. Oh, that's right, this is mostly. Aromatic Mexicans.

Are the best Mexicans are the best. Oh, that's pretty good. The most out of all time on Google? Yeah, out of all time. Not just the past 30 days. Yeah. All back to the 80s and everything. Oh my god.

All the time. I changed my answer completely. I was going to say, like, added or bust or migrant. But like, river, but neither of those is going to be that. No, it's not. That's a recent development. That's a recent development. Whatever it takes.

My favorite Mexicans. Mm-hmm. It's pretty good. You know, it's one word, right, that you're pairing? Yeah, Mexicans. Okay, all right. Oh, oh, I see what you're saying. Awesome.

How do you feel about it? Awesome Mexicans. Oh, that's pretty good. Love Mexicans. Love is good too. Maybe that's better. Love Mexicans. Love is good too. Maybe that's better. Love Mexicans. I do.

Let's see. Restaurant. That's it. It's restaurant. I think it's 100% restaurant. I'm only going off of what's around us in Austin. And is it either restaurant for Asian fusion? I'm going to go with restaurant simply because also it's Mexicans

restaurant which is the most racist way you could search which is if you're looking for a Mexican restaurant to go to on Google that is how you're talking. Yeah. Well gosh we got found one of the Mexicans restaurants. One of the Mexicans restaurant. The S is important. Yeah. The S is important. Yeah exactly. Yeah. Restaurant. Yeah. All right. So is that? Is that you guys locked in? You got your answers locked in? Yeah, restaurant. All right. So Blue team is gonna go with a restaurant. Yes, Mexican's restaurant. So weird. Yeah, kind of like like you said, like you said, you knew it was racist. Yeah. Yeah. That was that's a very

strange answer. And then red team team cool shades. Yeah. Which word are you pairing it, what? Racist. Yeah. That was, that's a very strange answer. And then red team, team cool shades. Yeah. Which word are you pairing with Mexicans? You guys go the love, or? Yeah, no, I think love is good. Love? Yeah, I'm gonna. All right, cool.

So we will input Mexican. We can have a respect. Wow. No, you know what I think? I think love is strong. Love is better. Yeah, I think love is strong. Mexican restaurants.

Mexican restaurants. Mexican restaurants. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, I think love is strong. Mexican restaurants. Mexican restaurants. Mexican restaurants. Yeah. Sorry. Zero points. No! Although it is worth pointing out that it did have an all time high on, let's see here,

Cinco da Mayo. It had an all time high recently on August 29th with 100 searches. What? What? What happened is Andrew saw these and he wanted to pump up those scores. Right. So he searched it 100 times yesterday. Yeah.

He was like, he had to be a different computer. Yeah. He was every computer. He wrote Mexican's rest. If you work here, your computer has searched Mexicans restaurant. Check your search history in the last 24 hours. How did we do? Red team.

Five points. There were five Google searches for love Mexicans. And it hit an all time high also on August 29th. But with less than Mexicans restaurant. What happened? We got five. Yeah. Which is more than what they got with their racist dance.

That is true. Cool. So let's check the points, blue team. Team, what was it again? Team, a big fat zero point. Team, a big fat zero point. Oh, who's that, baby? Team, who?

For your love and respect of the Mexican community, you have five whole points. Think of. Whoa. For your love and respect of the Mexican community, you have five whole points. Cinco. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what? I'm going to give them another Cinco point. Wow.

Oh, god damn. You know what number that is? That's the ace. That's good. That's good stuff. Quick. That's someone who love Mexican. Off the top of my head.

Thank you, freshman year of high school. And sophomore. I do repeat it. Yeah. So moving on to our second round now that you know how to play the game and now that we have team cool shades in the lead with 5.0. No, 10 points. Yes.

Let's head into round two. September has a lot of fun holidays, but it is also home to an American tragedy. Get ready to invade an innocent country and spend five extra hours getting into an airport because your second phrase is 9-11. How about bad? Bad is bad. Bad is good. Bad is good. Tragedy.

Memorial. Memorial. Remember. Never. We can't forget. Never forget. Never forget. Tragedy memorial. Yeah. Remember. Never. We can never forget. I never forget.

Forget. Oh, forget it. It's weird is that it's actually, it's actually better SEO. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the phrase is never forget. Yeah, yeah. But remember 9-11, I don't know who's searching. What an insane thing to search.

Yeah. Remember 9-11. We could go like Juneteth with it and go like, sail with coupon. June 10th, 9-11. Oh, fuck. Yeah, because it's like a, prices are falling.

Yeah, it's like a holiday. Yeah. Mr. President, a second coupon. It's a very email. 9-11, a truth or? Oh, that's good, but I think it're email. Yeah. Oh. 9-11 Truth or? Oh, that's good. But I think it's specific. What if it's like 9-10?

Oh, yeah. Just like what happened the day, like the day before? Yeah. Yeah. Can we search what happened? No, it's too hard. Damn. What happened 9-11 feels like.

How about a vent? 9-11 event. Okay. Hey, I feel good about a vent. All right, we'll do a vent. Yeah, all right. A vent. Yeah, I'm thinking like. Flight 9-11? Flight 9-11 event. Okay, hey, I feel good about a vent. All right, we'll do a vent.

All right, a vent. Yeah, I'm thinking like. Flight. Flight 9-11? Flight those, maybe people know the flight number. I was gonna, they said truth or I was gonna say truth. But, truth. Oh, that's a good one.

Truth. And who is searching 9-11? What a, they don't want to get to the bottom of it, but they don't know where to start. So they're just, they gotta start somewhere. 9-11. What a, they don't want to get to the bottom of it, but they don't know where to start. So they gotta start somewhere. 9-11, true. And it's just a bunch of like campaigns anti-smoking kids.

Yeah. Yeah. God damn it. Yeah, you want to go with truth. I want to go with truth. Yeah. Why not? Why not?

Great question. All right. You want it in those answers? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. From Blue Team, Team Smellulator question. All right. You're laughing in those answers? Yeah. Yep. Okay. From Blue Team, Team Smellulator, you have put in 9-11 Truth, which, as according to Google Trends, is most up-to-date algorithm, a whopping zero point.

Oh, no. You have a fucking goose egg for your point. Well, I don't want to know. People don't want to know. Flipping it over to the other side. Come on. Come on. Nine and 11 events.

Come on, five. 97. 97 total searches for nine and 11 events. Was this, was this, this was first of a hundred, right? So we just won. Yeah. Not quite, but I will let you know, just as a fun fact, as of today,

this is the all-time high for 9-11 event Google search. What? A lot of people today are trying to wonder what the fuck is going on. Is this alive? Are we in? Yeah, they can see us. People know.

Yeah, and they're searching for us right now. Right now. They're juicing the numbers. Can you search like 9-11? Like, man, I want to us. People know. Yeah, and they're searching for us right now. Right now. They're juicing the numbers. Can you search like 9-11? Like, man, I want to say like day off. I want to know who was. Holiday? Holiday.

Holiday. Yeah, I want to know if people want to know if they get the day off for 9-11. Or dial. See, I was thinking phone. Yeah. Smart too. Emergency. What?

Oh, look at that. But who's taking the time to nine slash 11? How do I dial 911? Yeah. How many would Google that? There's emergency, dial 911. All right, let's go ahead and see those numbers. 9-11 emergency.

Another goose egg. Zero points. Yep. 9-11 holiday. 100. The highest scoring Google search that we have had so far. I thought that might be it. I'm gonna give you a little of a little bit of a little of a little bit of a little of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of

a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a a little bit of a little bit of a a little bit of a little bit of a to not go into the towers that day. Yeah, yeah. Like Seth McFarland, he got a 9-11 holidays. Yeah. Because he was basically on the building? No, he was basically on one of the flights. Oh, that's right, yeah. And the first slugberg was on one of the flights. And what happened? And then if you zoom out and go like this on a map, Steve Ren is easy.

He was there too. Yeah. Wasn't Jackie Chan supposed to be filming a movie on the roof at the same time? Are you serious? That was like what the early rumors, yeah. That could have been, I mean, okay, I was gonna say, this could have been one of the most entertainment-related tragedies ever.

Well, do you remember the scene from the Spider-Man trailer where he, like, catches the helicopter? The helicopter in a web, but he had two, two and a half hours, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they took it out. And then Glitter also bombed him. I love it in Spider-Man. And they, not all in Spider-Man. Oh, look at that.

It was in Simpsons, because they pulled that. They predict how it's up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget about that episode of Simpsons, because like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like Michael Jones. Yeah, it was pretty good. Yeah. Oh My oh my god is he here? Oh my geez. What are the points do we have? You guys have 102 points 102 point not 107. Yeah, it's done. Oh, I did give you day. Yeah, so then yeah, you do have a hundred and I know I'm checking on you How many points we have. That was for everyone else.

You have a fucking zero. Yeah, you have nothing. You have no points. You could still rebound. But you guys still have in transit value as humans. No, that's proper debate. No, no. Both teams have fought hard, just one of them harder than the other.

And there is still some room for you to catch up in our final challenge. Now some of you watching this might be saying, hey, this is totally a rip off of Google Trends, but that's not true because we're also a rip off of other shows like Family Feud. Yay! You win the live-up bonkers. It's a rip off until you take and you rip off two things at once and smash them together. And that's a fusion, and that is the future. Like Mexican Asian fusion,

which you would have served. We could have served. You should have, yeah. But for any rooster teeth show, which is just us taking two very popular shows, fucking them together. Yeah, but if we're doing this family feuds style, I'm gonna need you to wear a suit with 90 buttons on it.

And just like, Okay, I got you. I'm gonna see what I can do. Hello, 90s NBA players. I need to borrow your suit. Hello, Lamar Odom. Go look at the draft class of like O5 and all of their suits go down.

Like their jackets like go down to their knees, all of them. Yeah, they were. What happened in those five? Just fucking barring David Burns suit. Yeah, that making sense. Just every NBA player from back then looks like Andrew wearing my current stuff. Yeah.

I wear Pompah's clothes. Go to their first communion. So I have here the top 10 autocomplete phrases associated with a Google search. And both teams will get a chance to try to figure out what those are. You have three chances, and each guess is worth 50 whole points, except for the number one answer, which is worth 100.

And since red team, team Cool Shades is in the lead. We're going to give our other team to catch us by going first. You have three phrases and your Google search is, why are millennials so blank? Poor. Poor?

Poor. Lazy? Crazy. So blank poor Poor lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy We're gonna go lazy you're gonna go lazy with your number one answer show me lazy No We need a bit real big. Yeah, we added that one in post. Okay, but it was just Just take this a sound file. Can we get a lean take? Yeah. There we go.

Yeah, use that. Perfect. Perfect. I'm just saying, we're gonna go back. Either cringe, poor is really good. Yeah. Poor. This is poor.

Okay. Why are millennials so show me poor? Oh, man. Nope. I guess no one know anything about millennials. Mm-hmm. So I thought they're really easy and poor. No, I'm doing okay.

Why are you a millennial? Yeah. Yeah, he's a millennial. I just assumed you were Gen X. No, he's a 30-sector. Maybe the meanest thing anyone's ever said about. He missed Gen X. He's been talking about. He unfortunately missed Gin X by six years.

You look like you go to Margaritaville for fun. No, I'm not Jimmy Buffett guy. No. Don't want the gray hair for you. Yeah, no, it's just, I just want to just want to butt with him huge Jimmy Buffett guy. Nope, yeah, nope. Nope, not a big deal.

I knew it. He was living in diet and three quarter times. Oh, he's in time. Go on, change your mind, add it to you. He's changing my life. Yeah, that was sharks to a fence to a left and fence to the right. And he Go ahead, change my attitude, change my life. Yeah. That was sharks who were fenced to the left and fenced to the right. And he was just, I was even,

I was just a really nice, really nice, a really nice, really nice time. I feel like all the blue should have been in there. Yeah, so entitled. I wanna give you guys just a little bit of a hint. And I want you to think about what kind of people would be droogling things about millennials. Boomers.

People said, I'm a legend expert. Yeah, I don't know. It's way better. I'm just helping. What's your hand signal? Yeah, I do this. Millennial. Wait, hold on.

I'm like, I make a blood for you. Yeah. Yeah, I used to be able to do that. I used to be able to do it for my arthritis. be able to do that. I used to be able to do it with my arthritis. Yeah, I should do this with how crap affiliate. Do you remember how this? What do we do? Do the F for fuck face.

Fuck face. That is almost a real gang son. But it's an F for fuck face. Okay. Let's go face Clips on. Last guess. Why are millennials so dumb? Dumb?

Dumb? Well, the boomer type that. What would a boomer type? Why are millennials so not coming over to my house to reset my router? Yeah. Um. Um.

Um. Well, I am a little so not letting you call in my grandkids. Yeah. Why are millennials not letting me see my grandkids? That's funny. Fuck. Vaxed. Why are millennials so weird?

Vaxed. God, damn it, that's good. Shit. Again, all I can think of is like, whenever I hear someone trying to figure out something about millennials, it's the two things that we said and entitled. So I don't really, I don't know. Yeah, I'm really drawing a blank here. Iron millennials, so...

I mean, cringe. Cringe? You want to lock in? No, no, because boomers weren't searched that. They don't know what that means. Iron millennials, so... Welcome to the show with an unlimited clause. This is going title.

Yeah, this is Google Trends where you can take as much time as you need to pick a word. Oh, yeah. Let's go entitled. You're going to go entitled? Or not? Did you not guess entitled one of the first two?

You said lazy and poor? Yeah. All right. As you pour entitled. And entitled, you know what? I'm going to give one to you because I feel bad, congratulations. Another thing that I feel like people think of millennials.

You got number four. Why are millennials so emotionally, or no, sorry. Why are millennials so difficult to work with? Hmm. Oh, I thought it was one word. Why? No, it's just phrase. That was the other thing that I was thinking of. Oh, I thought it was one word. Why?

No, it's just phrase. That was the other. Oh! Although I will be honest with you, only two of them are more than one word. Yeah. What are you going to do? Well, apparently, guess better.

And let's see if our team of Gen Xers and Boomers are able to do it. What phrase matches with this? Why are millennials so? Like, how about a respectful? Why are millennials so like? How about respectful? Why are millennials so respectful? Interesting. Attractive. Why are they so capable?

I don't know why you're like selling this to me. Why are they so tall? You know, I didn't write these either. Why are they so, I'm just trying to finish up, working through it. I mean, we're the ones winning. Don't shit on us. We win either way. So it's fine.

We're all in lineal. Yeah, we win either way. So it's okay. You either win. Yeah, I'm just saying. Jesus. Now he says. Now he didn't fuck up and say emotionally something.

So I do want to go down that route available. Yeah, just to kind of like rub his nose in it. Incapable? Yeah. But emotionally stunted feels like what he was going to say, but stunted maybe isn't the right word. Wounded? Mm.

Emotionally inept. Mm. All that. That's it. Why are millennials so emotionally inept? All right. Show me emotionally inept. Ding, ding, ding.

In classic family feud fashion, it is close enough. You got number three, emotionally fragile. Same thing. and that's a good idea. But it's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea.

It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea.

It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. It's a good idea. Why are millennials so unhappy? Yeah, depressed, depressed are unhappy is the, the easy one. That's number two or number one. You know what? I'm gonna give you number seven.

Oh wow. Why are millennials so unhappy at work? Yeah. There you go. All right. You have one last guess. I feel like he Googled all of these before this game. Mm-hmm.

Now we're just super good at what we do. Why are millennials so? Two or seven points, by the way. Why are millennials so depressed? Yeah, but depressed is gonna be unhappy. That's gonna be, yeah. Is, I wanna say, dumb or stupid, which feels like

it's gonna be a close enough one. They did it. That's not how we, but they didn't guess, okay. That's not how we've known. But they didn't guess it and it feels close. But I also don't think people are so no, I don't think people are searching it. Right. Why are millennials? You want to say you want to say that? I realize I told you guys the top 10 answers. There's eight squares up here. I think we are stupid. That's awesome. What year are you born in? 96, 7, 96. Okay, so he's Jen, are you Jen Z?

Apparently, yeah. 96, God damn. I know, I was, I was like a smash and ass. Yeah, that's a lot of kids. T-shirts from 96. My dad was born in 81. I was 20. Oh!

That got a lot of money. Oh, that's awesome. Oh my God. I was drinking a bar. Oh life slashed my dad. Yeah. He was 15 when it went in 96. So we got to pick the last one. Yeah, I just say dumb. I think dumb is anything like that.

Damn. Damn. No. What is it? All right, let's just go through the tough thing. Yeah. Number 10. Why are millennials so lonely?

Oh. Number 9. Why are millennials so lonely? Number 10. Why are millennials so lonely? Oh, number nine. Why are millennials so fucked up? That's yeah. That's a good one. Number eight, why are millennials so dramatic?

What? Number seven, why are they so unhappy over there? Yeah. Number six, one of my favorites. Why are millennials so soft? That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.

That is a bad rumor. That's how a boomer would get soobled. Yeah, seriously, turning off your mash reruns to that. Yeah. You were almost close to this, and if you would have said the thing about the router, I would have given it to you. Number five, why are millennials so mean to their parents? Because we were sold a bill of fucking good. That's why.

Number four, as we know, why are millennials so difficult to work with? For three as well. Why are millennials so emotionally fragile? Number two, this one's gonna hurt. Why are millennials so cringe? Oh, we should've said it! You just got boo.

The number one answer for 100 points that nobody got. Why are millennials so nostalgic? Now I will say cringe was number two because Gen Z and boomers are the same. And that's the reason for that, just so you're aware. Yeah. And also the nostalgic thing, Gen Z and Boomers are the same. So they both, I don't know, millennials are nostalgic, searched on both ends. Yeah.

Yeah, searched on both ends. Gen Z is wondering, so are Boomers. That is why that's zero to. I feel a little bad for millennials in this scenario because Gen Z and Boomers, as Eric said, two sides of the same coin or two coins of the same thing. Two coins boomers, as Eric said, two sides of the same coin or two coins of the same thing. Two coins of the same set, yeah, whatever. And then millennials are getting it from both sides.

And then Gen X is just, by the way, nobody gets a fuck about us. We're just forgotten in the corner. Yeah, I mean, truly like the first shit on anybody. Because Gen X is the latch key kid generation. Yeah. Because like mom and dad both went to work. So parents didn't give a shit about it. Gen X is shit to work. Yep. So parents didn't give a shit about it. They didn't give a shit about it.

Kids definitely don't give a shit about it. So it's, yeah. Yeah. But I do, I do feel bad for millennials because I feel like you guys are getting it from both ends. And, uh, that's not fair. Oh, that's not fair. I'm fine with it.

Harry Potter wasn't that good, so I don't really identify. That's not fair. That's not fair, because I've, uh, uh, to say that your kid doesn't give a shit about you, because I saw your kid making a TikTok in defense of you on TikTok. That's a little too cool.

My kid's cool. I don't think that's the truth. That is not what I said. Oh, that is a super-genic attitude. I hate kids except mine. That is a super-genic thing. You can say that when your kid was on TikTok, like, my dad runs a company.

That's what you're saying. LAUGHTER All right. Let's go. What thinks would you, he's going to kill me? when your kid was on TikTok, like, my dad runs a company bet. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. All right. Let's go. What thinks would you, he's gonna kill me. I love him since I'm so proud of my sweet mother. What things would you like our audience to Google

about you, the boys from Fuckface, and other shows like So All Right and Anima? I feel like plugging Anima is fruitless, but you should check. If you're seeing this and you don't like plugging Anima is fruitless, but you should check. If you're seeing this and you don't know what Anima is, you're a fucking psychopath. Also, speaking of fruitless, fuckfaces is fruitless right now.

Yeah, we have this idea. We're taking fruit moratorium. We don't do fruit anymore. Yeah, we're taking, well, we will again. Obviously, we're still in love with the Cosmic Chris, but you said, wait, you're never gonna have Griff and I on as guests. Folks, are you talking about best apple of all time,

Cosmic Chris? Uh-oh. Oh, they follow us. They're big fuck Best Apple of all time, Cosmic Chris? Uh-oh. Oh, they follow us. They're big fuckface defenders. They should. Cosmic Chris. It's the best apple of all time. Cosmic Chris defends us on social media, which is ridiculous.

Defends you from what? Yeah. From people that tell them, don't be, don't associate with them. Yeah, since the name of the show is fuckface, you're an apple, don't associate it, and they go, no, we fucking love fuckface. You know, all right, Cosmic Chris. Cosmic Chris is a, Cosmic Chris with David Ballzie. Listen to so all right, Jeff's new podcast where he deep dives down weird rabbit holes that I will say you can listen to the show.

And then when you go to a party, you can take his information, pass it off as your own, which I've done many times already for episodes that have not come out yet. You know, we've been describing it as that me doing deep dives, but I was thinking the other day, maybe a more appropriate way to describe it would be very shallow dives into deep subjects. Like surface level dives.

The one that you're head. The one you'll be different afterwards. Yeah. The example that I'll use is an episode that hasn't come out yet. Is, do you know about Acapulco? Oh, yeah. The place? Yeah. Yeah. You remember how when we were kids and kids, is an episode that hasn't come out yet, is do you know about Acapulco? Oh yeah.

The place? Yeah. Yeah, you remember how when we were kids and kids, it was like Acapulco. The Acapulco. It was like a destiny. Yeah, yeah, it was the vacation spot. And now it's the 18th.

Sick, well, for a long time, it was the sixth deadliest city in the world. Yep. What the fuck? Uh huh. Yeah. I'm guessing from either crime or staff infections. Mostly crime, though.

Okay, staff infections go into reporting. Government officials are banned from going to... US government employees are banned from going to Ocapoca. It is on the no-fly list. You're not supposed to go there as an American. What the shit? I'm not allowed to go there as a government employee. Yeah, it's fucking crazy.

So check out So All Right, where you can learn about this and then tell friends at a party about this thing that you learned. You just got a mini episode of So All Right. And we'll leave by showing you the top Google auto-complete for why is Jeff Ramsay so bad, so angry, so mean, so good. It's so annoying.

Yay. Thank you so much for joining us. This has been an absolute pleasure. So mean, so good. And it's so annoying. Yay! Thank you so much for joining us. This has been an absolute pleasure. As Mahal Malie said, I'm a bad man. I'm an annoying man. I'm an annoying man. I'm a mean good man. I'm so bad and good annoying.

Thank you. Thank you so much. And we'll see you in RT Cares. Wow. Hello and welcome to RT cares. The segment that takes your questions and turns them into extremely dumb answers every single week. We've got a real banger relatable one today folks and I think it's going to make some of us cry.

So let's get into it. Recently, I realized I don't really have any friends outside of my casual work acquaintances. When I was a kid, I felt like I had a hundred friends. But now I'm a grown up, it feels like I have like maybe two. Damn. I'm not sure how to even make friends anymore. Do you have any advice on making friends as an adult? You start a podcast.

You start a podcast. All right, well that's it for us here. Thanks, yeah. We'll see you guys later. well, that's it for us here. Thanks. Yeah. You'll see you guys late. No, that is a man. That that line of I felt like when I was a kid, I had a hundred friends. Yeah. It's one of the most relatable things that I have ever. Yeah. I had this realization the other day that, um, and this is such a dumb thing to realize, uh, that if I was gonna get married next week, I don't think I have a friend good enough

to ask to be like my best man. No. I think I could ask like my cousin who's like my a brother to me, I also have my literal brothers. Yeah, oh yeah. But even then, literal brothers. Yeah, oh, yeah. But even then, I don't know. I don't know. I was the best man in my dad's wedding.

Was he your dad? Yeah, he's gonna get up there and just fucking roast me for a best man's speech. And then probably get me killed during the bachelor party. So yeah, I have found that it's easy for me to make, uh, casual friends because I do stand-up comedy. So I guess the, the lesson in there is to find a hobby, something that, which, the standard is not a fucking hobby to me, but I've met many hobby comics that I've become friends with because they don't care about it as much as me. And I

realize that we can have a friendship about other things. Right. So getting a hobby, finding people that are interested in that same thing is a good thing. That seems like the easiest, like an intramural sport, perhaps. Yeah. A book club. A terrorist cell.

No. That's a great way to find friends that are dedicated. Some of my best friends, I met in the Taliban. Yeah, exactly. No. Come on. They're they get heads on the shoulders. Whoa, hey, oh, folks. And on the ground. Yeah, I think all of those things are really great and equally is important as each other.

You'd also be surprised, like, Austin has several societies. They're not like, sort of like clubs. Like there's like, film societies, there's astronomy societies. So it's like, there's ISIS. No, there's the, there's the, the local branch of ISIS that I'm starting. Well, it's, it's a,

a society like a culture, or not a culture club. I mean, kinda, yeah. What are those things where rich people go to? A social club. I think an eyes wide shut party. Head of FILE rings. A country club.

Yeah. A social club. A country club for poor people. That poor, necessarily. No, because I mean, poor for not ultra wealthy guys. Let's know. There's no middle class. I'm saying that I think those societies are maybe for people that are a little bit less

poor than us. But also, I mean, not really. Drew, right? You're part of the Austin Film Society, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a little poor.

He's not ultra wealthy. Look at him. Look at him. Look at that fucking piece of shit. That's our boss. That's our boss. I don't know. I feel like I relate to this dude a lot because I feel like when I sit down and think about them, like all of my friends are here at work. Like all of my co-workers are also like my actual friends. So I don't know what to do about

that. That is one thing that I wanted to touch on a little bit, which one of my favorite and least favorite at the same time complaints that I've seen in comments is that I hate that now it's like they're all paid to be friends together. It's like, you mean my two best friends that I hang out with? Andrew, what do we do last night? We fucking wreck shop at Apex Legends, baby.

We fucking do. We fucking do. Until I pass the fuck out. Yeah, these are my best friends. Yeah, yeah, I hate that conversation. We go, it's forcing, they don't really like each other. And I'm like, I love all of the people that you've seen me on screen with so much.

How many times have we gone on scent safaris? Oh, yeah, we'll do that. Yeah, Andrew will just pick me up in this car and we'll just spend an hour smelling perfumes somewhere. I want to know how good of friends we are. Is I knew that Griff had shown up to the office this morning because I came here early. I went into our office, I put my stuff down and then I walked out to talk to the production

boys and then I came back and the office smelled different. Yes. And I went, not bad. She's been here. Not bad. Not bad. Good. Good.

I just recognized the notes of scent that you have Daily from Billy from Predator. It's like there's something out there major. I didn't know man You guys have the same haircut What the fuck Any time. You can imagine the fucking predator just munching bark. That's shit. This is so big.

It has a countdown when it's gonna come. I hope they got its wrist. I hope it's so funny. Oh my God. What was I saying? Oh my God. I guess what I'm trying to say is my final piece of advice. For me, but please, you guys give your own,

is to do what we do and to return to the age of elementary school middle school, where it was so easy to make friends. And what I'm saying is don't go out and make friends with middle schoolers and elementary schoolers. No. Because you will then end up at a country club,

doing what country club people do. I'm saying that like if you can form a relationship bond with somebody that is just as oppressed as you are, where you remember being in school and the reason you made friends so easily is because you all hated teacher and you were. Yeah. Where you remember being in school and the reason you made friends so easily is because you all hated teacher. Yeah. And you all hated homework.

Or your last names both started with the same letter. Yeah. And you had to stand next to each other for fire drills. Yeah. Yeah. As you grow up, you get life experience. You get preferences. You get interest.

You get things that you like and dislike. When you are five, you become friends with someone because you live on the same street. That's proximity. Because all the reason, when you get to college, you become friends with someone because you both drink too much. That's the same floor.

On the same floor. And when you graduate, you become friends with somebody because you both drink too much. And they're in the same, oh, it's anonymous, group. I used to have a fucking stupid joke about that, about being friends with the kids you grew up with because all it means is that some other dude came at roughly the same time as my own father in the same general area.

In the same like hospital dish. Yeah. That's all it is. Every friend you ever had growing up was just another dude who came at the same like hospital dish. Yeah. That's all it is. Every friend you ever had growing up was just another dude who came at the same time as your dad in just the same general vicinity. Right.

And then it goes even further where that's what schools are. Every school is they go here, this year's come and this year's come. Yeah. Oh no, this come as too old. Got to move in with the come over here. They can play football. No, come left behind. No, come, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no still available. Yeah, no. Oh my God. So yeah, to wrap up what I was saying, my thing is like,

I guess just find somebody's dad who came at the same time as yours and hang out with that come. And honestly, just find somebody oppressed by the same shit that you're oppressed by. And then you will become best friends because you're trying to get out of it together. It's all an heritage. And you didn't think I was gonna tie it back in together, but that's why ISIS.

There we go. Yeah. Yeah. I made it work. What is your, what is your advice? Oh, no. I, yeah. I mean, like, you know, to get real, to get sincere, like, you know, I think fucking

millennial to get sincere folks. Yeah. Hardcore millennial bullshit. Epic. I guess so. Yeah. If I'mial bullshit. Epic. I guess. Yeah. Form a bond over like bacon and like frizzy golf and chip. IPA is yeah. No, I would say.

Yeah, there are plenty of like, you know, interest activities, but I think like what? People, I think initially, like, form affinities with each other and casual friendships over similarities and this that they like. So it's like, oh, the same movies or the same sports or the same like, you know, comic books, whatever it is,

you form affinities that way. But the way I think you form friends by shared values, that's how you form friendships. And so like, I think what it will take, and again, this is like actual, I think this is actual honest advice. No jokes is to like, initially, just like meet people through like shared interests,

but then like at some point, they're just gonna like come a point when you're gonna have to get a little bit real, and like you'll discover like if you have shared values with people like, you know, debts for the West or whatever. What ever shared value app that I'm thinking of. I think it's brother. you know, debts for the West or whatever it is. Whatever shared value app that I'm speaking my language, brother.

Whatever your shared value is, you'll eventually discover those things and those would actually form friendships. Whether it's like, oh yeah, like we both really like value community and like actually like, you know, volunteering and helping out like, you know, underserved people or whatever it is, you'll figure out whatever your values are. And then they're individual to like whoever you know, volunteering and helping out, like, you know, underserved people or whatever it is, you'll figure out whatever your values are.

And then they're individual to whoever you are, but you'll find those commonalities. And those, you'll actually form like deep, long-lasting, probably lifetime friendships. If you find those people, it's the same way you meet like partners, romantic partners, it's like, you was like, oh, you find them really attractive, but the way you start relationships with them and keep those relationships going is shared values. So it's like any other relationship. Yeah. Griff, you have any advice on how to make friends

as a boring old grown up? A boring old grown up. I mean, the person in the question, they said that they had like work acquaintances, just turned them into like actual outside of work friends. Yeah. It happens. I have a lot of friends who used to work here

who don't work here anymore. I still hang out with them because they're so fundamentally friends and we weren't just buddies because it was like, oh, I see you in the breaker and every day, let's talk about the coffee selection. I go, I went out of my way to be like, hey, would you be interested in doing this thing

after work or on a day that's not even a work day? And then they go, yeah. And then you find out that you are friends. Yeah. And super important thing that you just brought up, don't wait to get invited to things. Oh yeah. Invite people to things.

I'm very good at that. I will, I will hound someone down to hang out. Yeah. Do it. We have a co-worker, Jake. Yeah. Jake, who I love, who is the best at this. Jake the other day invited me out to go try a tasting menu.

Something that like we haven't even talked about food or anything, I love food if you're not able to tell by me for audio listeners. Yeah, for audio listeners, I need to loosen weight. But yeah, we went out to this meal and I met his friend Yeah, we went out to this meal and I met his friend and that friend and I like really struck it off. Struck it off. Struck it off. We really struck each other off.

Hold on. Hold on. Not on a first taste, I mean. No, that was, yeah, that was the appetite. Well, it first taste, yeah. And so then we just became now me and that guy and Jake too are just three dudes who every single week go out and eat a meal together and talk about the food scene in Austin and what it's like. And like just I don't know that's my like food friend.

And now I just have that person out. So yeah, never, never wait to be invited, invite other people because I love Jake and I would not have invited them out because I would have been like, I don't know if that's the type of person that would want to hang out with me after this and he totally was, so do that. Invite people and when people invite you go out.

Don't do what I do when people invite me to go out on Saturdays, which is get high and eat a pizza and think about the nightmare of having to diurea dump inside of a gait club in downtown. I do have those texts from you and you also offered to swap the place which was very uh... I did do that. I did do that. And uh, I guess yeah, that's what we're saying is make yourself more available and let people know that you might be interested in hanging out. And you can do this in in various ways by like inviting people out or talking about things that you did on the weekend

and asking somebody if they'd be interested, or through visual things, like a black flag with white Arabic writing on it. Whatever it is. Yeah, death to the infidel. Yeah! If you want your question to be answered, you can send it to RTcares at roostertief.com. That is our email where we will try to answer your questions just as poorly as we did this one.
