Big thank you to ExpressVPN for sponsoring this episode of the receipt podcast. Hello everyone welcome to the receipt podcast. I am Gus. I am Gavin. I'm Brian. I'm John. And I'm Gus. Hello, everyone.

Welcome. It's Mondays. Podcast time. This ain't the set. We're back at home. I think we're going to start doing more from the studio, but from the set. But we forgot the timing and the pacing on that. We're not used to it anymore. It's a lot that goes into it.

Like we mentioned last time, you got to organize COVID tests, you got to get everyone ready from the cast and the crew. And then also this time of year is really bad for allergies in this part of the country. So some people may feel like they're coming down with a cold or they might be sick. It's like, oh, is it allergies?

Do we need to be extra careful? So expect us to be safe about this. So it's going to be irregular here at first. Another Austin annoyance to add to the list. And I'm wondering if you're aware of it already. Like it's on the level of like the grackles, the Austin allergies, the grackles, by the way, traffic. I have no problem with the grackles. People have problems with grackles, the Austin allergies, the grackles, by the way. Traffic, I have no problem with the grackles. People have problems with the grackles. You have your own issues with the grackles.

They're just birds, sleep alone. But it's something that happened specifically in the hiking trails of Austin, and the area where the green belt area and west Austin, everything like that. There's a time of year where for some reason, we have these worms that all decide that they get to this like stage of their development.

Like they're like caterpillar kind of worms kind of things. And they all from trees descend like Spider-Man on single threads of stuff. And they just hang. They're just one was outside my door this morning. I know exactly. It's not just one. If you live in there, there's a bunch of trees.

It's just a drapery of like that feeling of a spider web on you, but it's just everywhere. And then just you're covered in these worms. They're called canker worms. Like how bad of a name do you have to give these covered in these worms. They're called canker worms. Like how bad of a name do you have to give these things? Is there any with their cold canker worms? I don't know. My neighbor said that, and I believed him.

So what they do, they're trying to catch flies, isn't that? I think the thought is like the way that I've got to look this up. But I assume that a lot of the way that like reproduction in nature goes is just like make as many babies as possible because 99% of them are going to die and spread out as much as possible so that your propagation of your, you know, your seed goes for forever.

So I think they're meant to be caught on things that then spread them around and take them out to be spread around. And so I think that's what we're doing because I can't imagine there's any other reason to descend other than to be literally caught by things Like someone blowing on a daffodil or something like that or dandelion and blowing all the seed out like that's what but as like a hiker and a trail runner All you do is just like I can't imagine anything. We'll just put it in the blowing on a daffodil

Whatever those D word flowers. When they grow up, the kanker worms become geometry moths, which I thought they became sores. Yeah, there we go. Let's track off the Gen 1. I don't know those Pokemon. Yeah. Can I, I'm gonna make a confession,

because you brought something up that reminded me about it, John. I was born in Austin. I lived here when I was young, moved away, moved back to Austin 23 years ago now. So I've lived in Austin really a long time. I've never been to the Green Belt. Hey, God, are you gonna hike with me?

If someone told me, I'll give you $20 to go straight to the green belt. I would know where to go. Like, I'd be like, it's over by Bart and Creek Mall. Question mark. I think. Yeah. I was like that about Bart and Springs for years. And that's a lot of sales.

That was the ass. This is just really cold. Like, it's nice. It's really cold. Gus, do you know where Barton Springs pool is? Yeah. I used to go to Barton Springs pool all the time. There was a period in time where I was unemployed for a while, and I would spend all day out there.

So I do know where Barton Springs is. But I don't know what we do with that. I would go down and I'd, uh, I just like spend all day reading books. I just go down and like, cause I was fine. I think Gavin thought you were, that was your job somehow. Uh, you're unemployed. So you went to the dimension. Gus voluntarily going outside, where there's a bunch of people.

Sometimes, because it was during the week, so it was never crowded, because I was unemployed. I was doing the middle of the week and I just sit there. And also, this was like, when you lived in it, often had like half the population it does now. So it's like, I just sit there and read. I like the idea of Austin, but then you're just kind of waiting for everyone to show up.

Was anything busy? The draft house. You always said to wait, the original draft house. But people liked that. Like people, I've heard of you used to bitch about this all the time. When they wanted to set a sign seating at the original draft house, people got mad talking about how waiting in line was part of the experience. But like, that shit sucked because sometimes at the original draft house, people got mad talking about how waiting in line was part of the experience. But like that shit sucked because

sometimes if the original draft house you would go and you'd wait in line and it would sell out before you could get a ticket. So it's like you wait in line. And it's like, Oh, no, we're out. We're done. Oh, okay. I guess I'm not going to watch

the movie today. It's funny to think that there was a point when I moved here from California that the idea of pre-ordering your tickets and getting your tickets well before you're going to go to the movie. Like maybe even like days in advance was the most like obscure idea to me that I was like I could never be bothered to do that.

Like who plans their movies that far in advance? I'm like when they're going to see the movie, what time? I was so used to the old way of just like, you decide a movie you're gonna see, and then maybe the day of, at best, either call movie phone or read to the newspaper for the movie times. Yeah. And then go, or even in some instances,

just go to the theater and see what's the closest time. People would do that a lot when I worked at the Riverside 8, they would just come, and if whatever they wanted to see was sold out, they would be like, well, what else you got? What else to start in soon? Yeah. And yeah, we would sell it. We wouldn't completely sell it a movie. You would sell it down to like five seats or something. But yeah, people would just, oh, I want to go see something. I'm not like, okay. I had the weirdest interaction where I was in line. I have at the very least never been that person who were like, I had like a certain

level of planning of what I was going to do for the movie theater where I was in line. I have at the very least never been that person. We're like, I had like a certain level of planning of what I was going to do for the movie theater where I was going to go see, but I was in line one time to buy my movies tickets. And I heard the couple next to me deciding in line what movie to see and even not even knowing what the movies are. They were just reading titles and going, that sounds interesting. I'm like, that's a level of trust and filmmaking. I don't have. Like just to tie that. Yeah.

I wonder what they were there. They were there. They were there to see a movie and didn't matter what it was. They were just like, ah, let's go see what that one is. What's what bad boys do? What's the biggest like shit movie name to epic movie? Ratio that I want to be like the best gamma and underwhelming movie titles. What you're looking for right? Yeah, but a really good I don't know I don't know boy who makes a bad movie lame movie title, but it was a lame movie anyways Come what's a what's a bad title, but a good movie princess bride Yeah, but pretty good. Yeah, I don't think that's a very like

all encompassing like a title that really sells the fantasy epic that you're about to watch. And then it's just like it's just princess bride. What the hell is that? And then you go see a movie and it's one of the best movies of all time. So unfortunately I was trying to see if I could call a movie phone here. While we were doing the podcast, but they shut down their phone number in 25. So you can no longer call movie. Kipling, they made it that long. That's a good ride. It's like seven years after the spotlight. Yeah, exactly in 2014. So I was like, yeah, let's, you know what? Let's go.

I feel like people though pick a candidate to vote for in the same way. Like they just look at the names and like, Boop, I'm gonna go with that. Not everybody, but some people this vote for the most arbitrary reason. It's like, I like this hair. Some good suggestions coming in the chat. Prima. I don't know about Shrek. I don't think that one. I think that's actually good, because I don't think you'd be able to, that doesn't sell, like Star Wars, sounds at least epic in some way.

Right, there's a war. But Shrek is just like, whenever she's like those name movies, and even like an obscure name like Shrek, I don't think that's a very good inclination in the movie, but Shrek is amazing. It's one of the best ending movies of all time. V2 Blast has a good suggestion.

He said, moon. Moon? Moon's good, maybe. But it's just like such an arrogant moon. Yeah. But I don't think that'd be a shocker. Like I would be expecting a story on the moon. I thought I could guess a lot of it.

But moons are pretty amazing movie. It's a really good movie. It's a pretty underrated movie, isn't it? Yeah, that's a. And Matt Barry's in that movie for some reason. What's the director's that right Johnson? Who is that? No, that was what's his name?

He did a warcraft. Why was Duncan Jones? Was Duncan Jones? Duncan Jones. It was a Zoe Bowie. Yeah. I knew it was like a generic white boy name. I'm a big Johnson Duncan Jones. Like those are like right there with like generic white boy.

John Smith. Yeah. Yeah. Like that stuff. I remember thinking reservoir dogs. Like what the hell name is for a movie? And then it was like one of my favorite movies ever. Yeah.

Oh, it's a bank ice. Really awesome movie. Yeah. Why is it called reservoir dogs? I don't know. I know. I don't think it's really awesome movie. Yeah. Why is it called Rizavort Dogs? I don't know. I know. It's one of those things. I don't think it's ever been explained.

Yeah. I think he's been asked, but I don't know if I think he's always just been KG about it. And why is Inglorious Bastard spelled wrong? I think it was because there was an earlier movie called Inglorious Bastards. I think it was to avoid confusion. Totally different. Like to fill. It think it was to avoid confusion. Totally different. Artists are like to fill.

It's like out of the E. Yeah. Man, I like movies. I miss going to the theater every week. I feel like I look at the Draft House app or website and I want to see a movie. But it's like, there's, you know, the pandemic's still going on. You really can't. They're only slowly opening like, there's, you know, the pandemic's still going on.

You really can't. They're only slowly opening up and there's really no movies coming out. It's like, I don't want to watch an old movie that I've seen hundreds of times. I don't want to go see it again. It's like, this weekend, I don't want to go watch Days in Confused Get.

Oh, this actually casts for you in any of Days in Confused. I don't want to watch Jurassic Park again. Why not? Or the Exorcist. What's from a Jurassic Park? I've seen Jurassic Park so many times, dude. I don't want to watch. I'm old enough.

I saw it in the theater already when it came out. I don't do it again. Yeah, optimal experience. Yeah. Did you ever do the thing when you were young and go to the double feature when you weren't supposed to? Just walk right into another one.

And a friend of mine did that with, we did it with three movies in a row just boom, boom, boom, boom. I did it once and I was totally anxious the entire time because I was good to do it. I'm not a real breaker. I'm not. Yeah, I know what you mean. And I was a good little Christian boy. So what I was. I'm not anymore. was I'm just a raging heathen. I grew up in such a small town. Our movie theater only had three screens. And all three doors came out right in front of like the counter

and the next day. So like people would see if you walked out of one and walked into another. So like you can never do that. Fully oceans 11 that to try to get the next movie. And they probably recognized you and what I called your mom or somebody. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that.

You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that.

You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that.

You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that.

You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do that. You can never do the Jessica Alba dancing movie. Yep. And then we followed it up with last samurai, Tom Cruise movie. And we hit in the bathroom in between. Yes. Because there was like enough time that we could just go straight. So yeah, we had like GTA 5 style where we had a way for the stars to go down. And then we went to the next movie, movie Heist. We did, we did. This was the most 1999 trifecta. It was, we saw American beauty and then three

kings that the rock war movie with George Clooney. Yeah. And mystery Alaska for the capper, which was very bad. It was a rough. It was a hockey movie with Russell Crowe. What a terrible trio of movies to get to see at this point. Like those three movies I would not imagine. And at any point, why not watch any one of them right now, much less all three in a row.

I was here in Austin. I was waiting in line to buy tickets for the Phantom Menace because you have to go in person before you go by it

on the internet. And I was like waiting in the line wrapped around the theater. So we were waiting in the back of the theater. Like, you know, we know whenever it goes. Like for the dumpster isn't shit like that. And someone, like I was waiting right by the door next to theater. And when someone just opened the door from the inside and like, look around, saw the line, I was like, you want to go, watch, go. It's starting right now. I was like, okay. I was watching the theater and watching

go. That was a way better movie than Phantom and it was true. It was a way better movie. I loved go. Yeah. Yeah. I used to get into fights with Bernie and Jeff all the time because they hated go. I don't think I know the movie. It was awesome. Yeah. Who's in line directed it? Uh, I had, uh, uh, the Katie. Kate Donner, the dead. Yeah. Sarah Polly, Timothy, elephant, Katie, home, city homes. That's it. That's who it is. It's on Hulu. If you want to watch it tonight. It's very much of it's Tadeegs is in it. It's very much of it's time that I think it's what late 90s or something. Yeah, it was really good. I agree. It was

great. I love the idea in general of sneaking into a movie though. And just the fact that you're just stealing something with your eyes. But they're like, no, don't look. Forget it, you saw. I liked in chat. I didn't want to miss a faux chrome had another good addition to two movies seeing that are as different as honey and last samurai. They saw Terminator Salvation and then went to see Cars 2. Wow. last samurai. They saw a terminator salvation and then went to see cars too.

Which was salvation? That was the Christian bail one? Yeah. Okay. That was where Arnold Schwarzenegger was entirely CG, I think, because he could make the hand. Yes. And Christian bail screamed at someone on set. That's the only reason. I've never been moving that damn light while he was trying to act. People kept bitching. I intentionally hadn't seen Terminator Dark Fate, which was I think the most recent one, because people talked about how awful it was. And a couple of weeks ago, I watched it, it was like gone hulu or something.

I had to pay for it. I just watched it. It's not bad. I mean, it's not like the best movie in the world, but it's fine. Like, I thought I going to watch like the worst movie of all time, based on how people talked about that movie. And it was okay. Yeah, I mean, what do I know? I don't know. They compare it to a they compare it to terminate a two. One of the greatest movies ever. You're right. It's not just not just just nowhere near as good as terminate YouTube.

If you go and just into expecting a dumb action movie with a time traveling robot, why not? It's fine. It's everything's fine. I maybe it's also like, I've been so starved for new content and stuff I haven't seen before because I've been locked inside my house for a year. Your bar set so low, like if it's just a

professionally done movie, you're like, that was okay. There was acting and credits and I noticed it was my full effects and I like it very much. Would anyone complain if there wasn't credits? If it just wasn't black. I think they should start running them at the beginning of movies now. I mean, they cut a used to. They cut a used to like the, yeah credits, didn't they? Yeah, my daughter was watching snow white. And it's like, boy, he thanks every single animator by name. Yeah, I feel like. Yeah. All the Disney old movies, especially the ones like you buy like an old like VHS clamshells, those all had all the credits

up front or at least like a good chunk of them. Or like a big musical number that they kind of still do with all the James one films. Why am I so low down today? I don't know. I don't know. I'm like, Get your posture figured out. Got you Gavin. I Want to comment someone in chat said that it's on who who is a coffee break said? It's on who let him have to pay for it. I pay for my who I understand now Like I don't have to pay extra like it's not like a Disney plus thing where it's like, you can watch this movie for $30, even though you're already paid for the service. Oh, I happily pay for those. And Brian will join me on this because you will do things to

occupy the children. Oh, it has really been great for them. All the Sesame Street they've had to watch. It's been educational. Honestly, I call it their Zoom classes. You got to keep the little tax write-offs entertainers. I don't get to claim as tax write-offs anyway. So it's not even that for me. Wait, what? I was talking to my kids. I don't claim my kids as tax write-offs.

I'm not the, I'm not the, I see. Yeah. What's the term we're looking for? The primary care. Primary care. Primary care. What about the cats? The looking for the primary or something primary custodian or what about the cats? The you can ship for that.

I'm not answering a question you Gavin until you fix your headroom. You are a cinematographer and I don't appreciate it. Cinematography. Yeah. Fixed you go much better. I just rammed my desk into something. The real thirds of shit, my dude. Yeah, I was talking to Brian before the podcast started.

I was telling Brian that for the first time in my life, I'm jealous that I don't have kids because like there's so many incentives and tax rebates. I mean, kids now. Yeah, I get none of them, but I hate them. Consul. Just have a solar panel. I'd be freaking pissed if I invented the solar panel. And it took all of this time.

If I invented the solar panel, I'd be like, I've just saved the planet, job done. And then nobody uses them for decades. And we're still burning oil. I'd be livid. That was a really good adventure that. Well, they're getting better. They. That was a really good adventure that. Well, they're getting better. They've been expensive and they've been more efficient. Yeah.

They used to take a lot more energy to make than they would produce. I just said, it was too soon. If we were like four years away from running out of finite, you know, fuel resources and then it was embedded, ever it'll be scrammed, everybody hopping on that. No matter the price. Yeah, they've been with us too long. That's the problem. if you saw like last week of the week before that was that

new new kind of white paint that someone invented. They're like, if we just paint the tops of buildings with this white paint, it'll reflect like 98% of the sun's back in it. It's like, why don't we just paint the tops of our of our roof white? Like, you everyone has to either put a solar panel on your roof or paint your roof white. Pick one.

That's going to be so funny if that's the solution. Like, oh, we just needed white paint to crack this cave. I'm an amount. I'm an amount solar panels to my kids and then they'll just pay for themselves. Right. They'll just run around in the yard. Okay. You never say, yeah, just hook it up straight to them. Let them be solar powered solar powered. That's a good idea. Yeah. So who invented white paint? When did, how do you, when was white paint? When did that start?

I assume you have to, that would have come later than a lot of other colors. Cause you have to, why? Why would you assume that pigment would be later than other ones? I don't know. Not as fun. Get started. I'll get started. I'll get started.

Not as fun. It's not. Oh, we were like, he's a lighter. So that is fun. What's the most fun, Brian Gar? Like purple or something? Well, it'll be a nice red. OK.

But yeah, purple was difficult. Maybe they, maybe black was the last color to be invented because they had to invent all the other colors first. As I would assume actually black would come faster because of like even just the accessibility things like charcoal, like they literally have like, like I guess they were picking from individual values. They just smash up some coal.

Like they were, they were, they were probably sick of black too. They're like we have to deal with the shit 12 hours a day. Like we don't need more black on our lives. So I looked it up. It was actually, there's actually an answer to that question. There has to be, there has to be what when was white paint? Yeah, when was white paint 15th to 15th century? Okay, when was titanium white invented so that Bob Ross could make little clouds? 1981. I have to say, titanium white. Did you ever hear the stories about that art forger who only got caught?

He would like forge super well known pieces of art and sell them as they were originals, but they weren't, he had made them. And the only reason he got caught was one time he used the wrong kind of paint. I guess like he had to, he had to intentionally go out of his way to source. I believe it was white paint. He had to source white paint that was manufactured before atomic tests started happening because any paint manufactured after atomic tests were a thing had some radioactive ice and it had been very cold amounts.

At one time, he couldn't source the appropriate paint, so he used a more modern one and it got detected and they uncovered that he had been making all these forged paintings for years and some for millions of dollars. This isn't the Mona Lisa, this shit's from Hobby Lobby. I feel like. There's a, there, you talk about a forgery of paintings. Maybe you think about there's this, one of my favorite YouTube channels, the the bomb gardener restoration. You ever watch that guy?

The art restoration dude on YouTube. He, he, he's, it's that that's where he got his like notoriety and the viral nature that's gave him his subscribers and views on his stuff because it's very relaxing and he has a very chill tone as he talks you through. In fact, when he first launched the channel, he would release two versions of his videos, one where he talked over what he was doing, the other way that was like more of an ASMR version

of just the sounds of him doing his stuff. Anyways, there's a point in every one of his projects that blows my mind and some gets even crazier in others because of the degree that he has to do this step of the restoration and that is he will go in and fill in missing pieces of the paintings that have been destroyed or damaged. So there is literally a point in the

restoration where he has to not only be good at repairing paintings, but just painting. He just has to be really good at painting and has to be good at like mimicking the original master artist. Yeah. Like there was a spot in this still art that he was doing was watching a video where like this bowl of strawberries on this all the still are a bunch of fruit, but the bowl of strawberries that are a been damaged so much that really wasn't anything left to the strawberry. So he had to just paint the strawberries, but he had no source material to base it off of. So he was painting the strawberries based off of how the guy painted other fruit to make it match just the overall aesthetic painting. And that just blows my mind that no one

doesn't need to know like how to get, you know, shitty chemicals off of like painting that's been ruined, but also like how to paint like a fucking master. That's that I I'm always in awe of anybody who can do something like that who can first of all paint to begin with second of all like work of a master. I just the whole time you were describing that I was like that's really impressive and I just couldn't get the image of that botched restoration out on my head. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Uh chat is we'll not stop talking about what's in my bed and I love it. Yeah who's in your bed? What is that? It's here I'll show you.

Hold on. It's just. It looks like a giant legs. Oh, it's like a hug pillow. Oh, wow. Like a second that. It's my pregnancy pillow. Oh, okay.

You're boppy. It's actually. It actually is a my pregnancy pillow. Oh, okay. You're boppy. It's actually, it actually is a maternity pillow that pregnant women use to sleep with to support as they sleep on their sides, but I used it to support my old back. So I don't get a pains in the morning, but yeah, it looks like a dead body's in or a person just sleeping in my bed. I was looking at the fleshlight right below it. Like that's what it's like. Oh, my water bottle. Okay. This is, this is the problem. I will agree. This Gavin

was screaming about working from home because he had intact issues, but also like, I, I need people to see less of my bedroom. I need people to not be so much in my bedroom and for me to constantly having to like clean and and sort out my bedroom. I need to be allowed to be a messy person and not a messy time. No, I'm actually not, but because I'm stuck at home constantly and just exhausted, But because I'm stuck at home constantly and just exhausted, I've been, I kind of let the mess happen a little bit more than I used to and then like,

clean it up around the weekend. I don't know, for some reason, being at home more now has made me want to clean my house less. Maybe because I'm just cleaning, because I'm living in the space so much more that like clutter and messiness happens so much quicker and you're not, you're not in the space,

you're not causing clutter and that kind of thing. But now I do so much, I'm just like, it's hard for me either like really busy or really tired. They're both things that cause you not to tidy as much. And you have like a room full of cats, don't you? Yeah, they're all, they're quarantined in the bathroom right now because they have, they have been enjoying the pictures and videos that you take whether like sat in the bullseye segment of your boxes. Like getting all the, all the

knob juice all over them. Well, one, I, well, no, I, I, I, I, I'm a clean, I'm a cleaner person than that. It's getting warm out. You're a high-cut. I can't. Listen, they're very, very active in social kittens and they love to, they're, they're, they love to be around people, but because they have such a bad case of ringworm, worse than most of the kittens I've ever gotten. I've had to just quarantine them in the bathroom. And so they're going kind of stir crazy.

So whenever I go in there to use the restroom, they are just launching themselves at me for attention. Question. Um, I'm not familiar with ringworm, but if an animal with ringworm gets spends time on the cloth that you put next to your junk, does that ringworm go from them to the cloth to your junk. It could. It totally could. I rubbing ring level if you're junk. Luckily, it takes a good amount for it to not a good amount, but it hasn't transferred thus far. And I've shown because of my interaction with so much ringworm because I'm fostering so many kittens and almost all the kittens

that come from Austin Petts' life kind of have it, I've recognized that I have a high tolerance for not contracting ringworm that being said I literally have a black light in my Bathroom like a little flashlight to check for ringworm on My clothes and on me when I interact with them because it glows in black light. I want to see some of that. Give us some of that content. Yeah. I'll, I wish I could make my room dark enough for you,

so I'd grab a kitten and show I might be able to. Let me see. Ring, we're talking about that. Yeah. So he was talking about art restoration and I wanted to bring this up. I, you know, I'm not an artist. I can't paint it all. But I have a couple of paintings in my house that are just like generic garage sale paintings that someone then adds something into, then they sell it online.

Like I have in my bathroom, I have this beach scene that someone painted Zoydberg into, like coming home on to the bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like a stormtrooper or something. Yeah, and I've got like this really ugly vase that like has gizmo hiding behind it. It's like someone just took these like shitty paintings and then just add something else into it. And they make it look like that was there originally as part of that painting.

But it's the same as touching up a classic, but. There was somebody in a band who would do that with hotel paintings, because they were on the road a lot. And so he would go and just sort of touch up these sort of crappy hotel landscapes. Or so it might have been Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood. Very current reference. Yeah, but I think he would just like,

I admire that stuff. I cannot draw our paint either. I've also heard stories of people who take the paintings off of hotel walls and then paint something on the wall behind the painting and then put the painting back. So it's like, you don't know it, but there's like a really beautiful painting hiding behind

the drab painting on your hotel room. Is that why a lot of them are just nailed to the wall and you can't move them? They don't want anybody fucking up their walls. I saw this just blood stains behind a lot of them and that's yeah, just the apagano too. That's the cleaning that the cleaning crew missed. Yeah. Oh, it was oh, there's a cat. cleaning crew messed. Yeah. Oh, there was. Oh, there's a cat. It's a UV cat. You can't see it too well. But we just looking at his head trying to find a spot. It shows through the fur. It's really. It's at a rave. It shows on his paw there. Oh, wow. I see it. That's crazy. Oh, I see it. Yeah. Oh, wow. How it shows a little bit skin and fun. Yeah. So he has that on him. It's a fun go infection. Good. It'll show it on his face too if he were to turn. Who's that happy with me? He's like stop showing me off. But yeah, he had they they have it

like right there on his. Can you see it there on his what are the craziest things that are there? That's so bad. Yeah, so that's what it shows up. All right, I see you. Check your arms. Okay, let's see, let's see, let's see that John Dick. Do you got reward? No, they don't. And then check your bed too.

No reward. No reward. I'm good. I'm good. All right, looks like John is safe from real life. I'm safe. No, I, I, I, luckily, because of how much they have it, I've, I, I don't get it from them. I still limit, I still limit myself a lot.

Did you ever get it from them? If he like, I got it, I got it once on my hand. It really, it can range in like, how, like symptoms you get. Some people get itchy. I didn't even feel it. It was just visibly there. I put a little bit of fungal cream on it, went away. That was it. Interesting. It's made you more powerful. Yeah. Yeah. I have soar of it. Let me go put that getting back. That's just, it's gone. It's mutant power. Yeah. The ability to. This is Hank. everybody say hi to Hank. Hi, Hank. He's my little wobbly boy.

Every bad ass, if they got it in perfect circles around their eyes, and then they had UV glasses on. They basically do that. That's actually the main place they get it is around that. And they don't get anything like that. Yeah. I was confused ringworm with tapeworm,

because I think tapeworm is an actual worm. That's the one that you got. I think they pull them out and it's like 20 feet long or something. Yeah. I think ringworm's just like a condition. I mean, I know it's like something. I mean, it has worm in it. It can't be good, but it's not the same thing. Rocket Goddard just said everyone has tested negative for ringworm on this program. Rocket Goddard just said everyone is tested negative for ring level in this program. This episode of C Podcast brought to you by ExpressVPN.

He actually has a condition called cerebrular cerebellar hypoplasia, I believe it's called. He's got that wobbly cat syndrome.

He wobbles as he walks because he has an underdeveloped cerebellum. And so he has equilibrium issues. He has a minor case of it so he doesn't, it's, he wobbles and falls constantly, but he's not the kind where you see the cat's just constantly moving. They can't, you know, control themselves. But he's my little wobble boy. Wobble. That's a funny word. He's a little wobbler. Man, the other day I was, they look at that. It's another cat.

The other day I saw something. I don't know if I've ever seen this happen before. I was driving here in Austin. I was driving down 183. And I was driving behind another car. There's another car in front of me. I was a safe distance behind it. And we're just driving down the road. Then all of a sudden there was like a big puff of smoke came from it. And I was like, oh, that was weird. And then when I, you know, clear through the smoke and I could see the car in front of me again, it was on fire. Holy shit.

Oh, it's not like engulfed in flames, but there were flames shooting out the bottom of the car. And it was like scorching the road. Like I could see a black mark down the center of the lane. Hi, the dance. Was he trying to get back to the 50s or something? I mean, it's trying to get. And like, people don't go right away.

And I was like, that's crazy. I don't know if I've ever seen that before. Or it's like the car just it's driving. And it's like smoke. Oh, and it's on fire. I felt bad. Like I didn't I don't have a fire extinguisher in my car. Like I wish it was something I could do to help.

I was like, well, can't do anything. I'm gonna get out of the way before your gas tank catches fire. Right. Right. Didn't we see a car catch fire when I was riding with you once like years ago? Did we? Was it with you when we went to like check stop on the way to Dallas or something?

We weren't we I mean, that has happened before. I swear there was a car that just was for some reason It was moving down the road but on fire and the guy was like trying to stare off the road while it was a Rupton to play I haven't seen it before then I That's the thing I feel like I've watched so many like driving Fail videos or like car crash videos where it's like I don't know what is my real memory anymore I'm pretty sure I saw that though one of my favorite subreddits is idiots in cars. Yeah, which is just like dash cam footage or like people doing dumb things in cars and getting

into into into wrecks. But it's awful because you watch you like, people like that are driving out there next to me. Like any moment through no fall to your own, some idiot in a car could hit. Oh, speaking of idiots in cars, I saw some severe road rage yesterday. I was, yeah, I was driving down close to the capital. I was like, what was that? Like Guadalupe in 11th, I think. And I was driving in one direction.

I came to a light. And in the other direction, we're two cars giving that. Oh, no. It was, it was a, no in the other direction, were two cars coming at me. Oh, no. It was a, no, no, it was a two way at this point. It wasn't one way. I know there was a two way section of the street.

And there were two cars coming to the opposite direction. One was like a white Tahoe, and it was like a blue Kia. And they were both coming towards me, like I said, and the blue Kia turned on its signal light. Like, it wanted to get over the other lane where the white Tahoe was, and they like sped up to try to get in front of it, but the white Tahoe also sped up

to keep them from getting in front of them. Then they both came to a stop at a light, and we both stopped at opposite sides of the light, looking at each other, and the guy and the white Tahoe rolled down his window and started leaning out of his car, pointing at the blue key, screaming, you're an asshole, did you know that?

You're like really, like off charge. Yeah, screaming at the blue key, screaming, you're an asshole, did you know that? You're like really, like off-charge. Roadcharge, yeah, screaming at this guy. And, you know, going perpendicular up at the other street was like an old man on a, like a Vespa, and he was also stopped, and the old guy on the Vespa just yells out, hey, chill out, there's all he yells, like chill out. And the guy in the white Tahoe goes,

and fuck you old man. And the guy, the old guy, the best one just looked around like, the hell is that guy's problem? That's so much. I appreciate him sticking to his guns. No, I'm pissed. I don't care if my dad is here to yell at me about it. I'm pissed. I don't care if my dad is here to yell at me about it.

I think road rage was created and spread to other people. Or do you think everyone would have had the idea to be mad in their car? I feel like it's just evolved. It's like a cultural thing. Like you're allowed to be just a maniac when you're behind the wheel. And you could be like yelling at people, doing things that you would never do if you were just stood behind someone in a line. But like, wait, do people get a driver's license and then think like,

well everyone else gets annoyed when they're driving. I'm gonna do it too. That's actually an interesting theory. Like I wonder why that combination of that environment interaction is something like combined with the fact that we're all, we're all like deep down scared to be in the cars because we know the cars, we could die any second in the cars.

So anybody who will pass down by parents, like people see the parents getting really annoyed. There's a great question in chat. Morgan Rebecca 98 asks, when was road rage? I think it's like nobody, most of the time I feel like driving Becca 98 asks when was road rage? I think it's like nobody. Most of the time I feel like driving is not a fun experience because you're either in traffic or you're like going somewhere you don't really want to go. So you're like stuck somewhere that coupled with you're in yeah, a sealed environment.

It's like being online. You can say whatever you want. It's scary. Apparently, so you're mad. I saw I saw kind of a thing that Gus saw too, these two guys just pulled off the road. It was right in front of St. David's and they both jumped out of their cars and like just started swinging at each other. Like they just fully like went on and like I just sort of drove past them, but I was like, oh, I should I could have shot that. Like that would have gone viral. If I could just shot that. Like that would have gone viral.

If I could have just like this whole street fight. It's probably the combination of like several things, including what you just said about how like, it's turned into something that's now like an inconvenience, like with traffic and all that kind of stuff. But then also it's got the same, you have the same level of confidence you get from being on the internet, which there's like this bubble,

like effect when you're in your car, then there's like an anonymity to it, you know, or or a disconnect. So it's all those things mixed with like just the stress of driving itself, like it's very stressful to drive, you have to be aware and constantly cautious and really that. So a lot of like factors leading into us just being assholes in the car. Plus also, I think there's an element of being self centered or having an attitude of my trip and my journey is the most important and everyone else should revolve around that.

It's like, yeah. You know, even little things like, why didn't the white Tahoe just let the queue get over? Like, well, it doesn't matter to him. Like, I mean, it's gonna cause taking extra five seconds to finish your trip, maybe. You know, I think it's just that, there's a lot of that kind of attitude with it. Or like when you're in a line in traffic and then there's always that person who just ignores

the line and goes all the way to the front and then tries to like sneak in. Yeah, I was going to say it's always so inconsiderate. Yeah, there's a level of like the driving world. There's like there are rules that you are supposed to legally follow. And then there's also like road rules that we all are supposed to abide by. Like that's one you just described where we're like, well, there's a line. And we're all going to act like we're supposed to wait in line. We're all waiting to merge here. Yeah. But then you, but there is no traffic rule that

says that guy can't do that. That guy can't go all in the front and just weasel his way in. There are like little, it once you lived in Austin long enough, there are like little traffic hacks that you know, like there's certain exits on 35, you can exit and then go and then get right back on without going through a line. Yeah, all tors. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All down there south-aussie. Yeah, it's like it's not illegal. Like you might be an asshole if you do it and admittedly I do it when I'm down there. But it's like, you know, you're just trying to, you're just trying to use the use the available links to your advantage as much as possible. Is there a YouTube channel for that? Like Austin Hacks? It should be. Or a cyber popular. That's like, I most of living in Austin, like, we let's, you know, the best experience you get from living here for a long time is knowing what streets to take and what streets to avoid at any certain time

Like oh that streets fucked up at this hour, but they're all fucked up all the time But which street is the least fucked up at what ever hour you want to travel? I I definitely have been that guy like not letting somebody else over because I felt like they were trying to like get in front of me When I didn't feel like they were entitled to. And then get in that, and this happened recently and I felt myself like speeding up like, fuck you, you weren't getting it, you know, and then I realized I've got kids in the van with me. And I'm like, what am I doing?

This is like, who I should be at this point. Someone's tailgating you and you slow down to teach them. You're not teaching them a lesson. You're just telling them to remember no reason. A little break check. I always love the idea of like different scenarios, just changing human behavior. Like a sports game, especially at football games in England, very popular chart. Everyone just starts screaming. The referees are wanker over and over again. They make like a decision that goes against your team or think it's bad decision. But I wonder how many of those people, if they're there to shout a rough barista,

Wanker, if everyone else just vanished and they were on their own in this battle, would they still be shouting it or would they be like, if they're on the bottom, like the first row of the stadium, literally, feet away from the referee. Or even if they were just like down that on the pitch next to the ref. Yeah, they just be like, I don't I don't agree with that decision. I don't know. I thought they'd be like, why God?

It just wouldn't happen. There's these characters in Ted Lasso. Have you watched Ted Lasso give it up? Yes. Okay, so you know the characters that are the bar boys who are big fans and they are mad at Ted Lasso for not coaching the football team like they want. They yell at him, feed away from his he walked by and are a scream, is that common? Is that a accurate depiction

of how some exuberant fans might express themselves? Yeah, I think it just depends how many people you'll surround it by. My camera camera shit in the bed. So pardon me Everybody should be watching Ted Lassel. It's one of the greatest series that's been created in the last year It's great. I every time I find someone who's watched it. I always point out that the The owner of the football club is Septa O'Neill from Game of Thrones the shame lady and everyone's like, oh, I didn't realize it was the same person That's funny. That's funny. I just appreciate that Ted has a very nice mustache.

It's just good to see it. It's just such a wholesome show. It's very fun. It's very good. That's what my friend goes. It's the only show that's made me want to be a better person. That's like, it's like before they get in their car and drive. Every character is redeemable, kind of except for the the husband guy the husband guy He's a rubber knock figure or whatever. Yeah

It it it's amazing how they can write a show that isn't about like It isn't about Discord and arguments and putting people down. It's literally about broadening your perspective, acceptance, kindness, and hope, but it still maintains like entertainment value, humor, tension, and all that kind of stuff. But there's like, it's almost has a moral message in every single episode. And that's insane that you can balance those two things because you almost think of problems and arguments

and fights as being the only way that you can make a show work. Yeah, he's kind of this polyannish character at first, you think, but then you realize like he's got a lot more to it. You can't make promises like Polyann in this podcast, Brian, you can't make promises like Polyann. in this podcast, right? You can't make it. It's like Paulie and Paulie and Hailey Mills. Well, you know, but yeah, just this sort of, but yeah, you're exactly right. But it is, it's more about the message seems to be that like,

I don't like overcoming our differences. Like we're all sort of more alike and sort of want love and need love and want understanding. And it's just like, he's like constantly trying to break down those barriers. It seems like. Yeah, that whole monologue he does in the the dart room scene. I love three talks about being curious in that everybody who's who so narrow minded about other people. It's because they're not curious about other people.

Right. And Blake Bishop said Ted legendary all skulls on. I get it. I get that reference. I appreciate it. So someone mentioned Game of Thrones. I read this article, I think it was over the weekend, that it was the 10 year anniversary of the premiere of Game of Thrones. And it seems like it's a lot longer than 10 years ago that that show first came out. Like I think it feels like five years since the finale. I was a long time assistant finale. It was like three years? I think I'm three years.

I'm three years. Two or three years. The last year I was wrecked my perception of time. Yeah, I guess three. It's amazing how like a pinion of that show changed so drastically around like I don't know. He was like you loved the early seasons, but then like the last season really soured that show for I think some people.

It's amazing how much or how quickly that show has fallen out of like the cultural side. That's what I mean. Yeah. It's just like it was there were references. It was merchandise like you heard about it constantly. And then like after the final episode, it just kind of disappeared. I can't remember the last time I thought about it,

the game of the drones, I read that article, like, oh yeah, that's show, I forgot. Like people are still making constant references like the Harry Potter franchise, you know? Yeah, but we, but it's been years. Or like some franos or things like that, I mean, or wire. Yeah, but it just, it did just kind of evaporate, but don't worry, because the internet loves to rehab shitty things. So somebody will start a big Twitter thread in a few years, and it'll be titled guys.

It's time we told the truth about the games of thrown season finale. It's time we told the truth about the games of Thrones season finale. It's time we stopped being babies about the season finale of Game of Thrones. And it'll just go and try to rehab. They did it with the Star Wars prequels. They did it with the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man's. They will, they'll force some sort of fake, I don't know, like rehab of the last season, even though it sucks and it deserves like all the hate it gets.

I might watch it all again. It's just, I don't know how I'm going to feel about knowing how it ends because you watch it thinking like, ah, where's this little storyline going to go? No, where's it? What about this one? That's not going anywhere. It's not going anywhere. Yeah.

But it's such a good show though. Like, it's a great show. I'm sure we have a box. Do you know what character? Oh, yeah, there's still no. I know, but it's such a good show though. Like it's a great show in the books. Do you know what character? Oh, yeah, there's still no. He is never going to finish the promise. It's fantasy veteran. He is never going to.

I think I went through this with Wheel of Time. He will never finish. I said, Ben, I think it's been nine years since the last book. Yeah, yeah, or something like that. Yeah, look, the character. He's got one more after that. If this was the last book, I would say maybe, but he's got two more. Yeah.

Never ever. Is the guy is one of the people you were talking about, John and Ted Lasse, one of the people in the bar. Yeah. Is that the the desire to guy from the first episode of Game of Thrones? I don't know. Do you remember the first episode of Game of Thrones? The guy that's like, yeah, yeah, the one who gets the white walkers.

Yeah, he gets to be hit by a net star. It's the skinny guy who's in the bar. It's the skinny guy in the bar. The little guy who screams at Ted on the street. Yeah. The last book came out July of 2011. Cheers. That's too much.

I, I, he said, but the thing is that not only has he not written the book, but he news keeps coming out of him working on other projects. Yeah, he's working on other stuff. He's not working on your books, guys. I read all of the books. I think three years ago thinking this is the year that it's going to come out. I'm going to read it also already. I already need to read all of them again.

Just read comics. Just read comics. They're right. Don't worry. Don't worry. They never stop being made. You can dream. I love the idea of people being annoyed that he's not working on them. They're like, can you imagine being that successful?

But you, you're not allowed by the world to work anything else. It's crazy. He, I feel like he shouldn't do anymore out of spite. Just out of spite to everyone else. I think he is. I think your wish is granted. It's true. Yeah, it's like, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it, just out of spite to everyone else. I think he is. I think your wish is granted. It's true. Yeah, it's like, it's a fun.

If he didn't do it, he runs to work on. If he didn't finish it during COVID, he's not going to finish it. Brands of Sanders from this, can I come in and finish those books? I promise. Oh, I found the first book. The, the, the, you know, I've talked about the expanse that's showing Amazon before. And I started reading the books. And I found out that the author of that book of the book talked about the expanse that show an Amazon before. And I started reading the books. And I found out that the author of that book of the book series for the expanse,

it's a pen name. And it's actually two different authors to work on it. And I think at least one of them, maybe both of them were like assistants for George R. Martin and helped him write some stuff. Oh, wow. I wonder why they shared a pen name instead of just like co-author it. It's a pen name used by collaborators Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank. Huh. Let's see. I'm on season two of the show. It's really good. It's really good. Yeah. One of them was a personal assistant, George R. Martin. This was says, yeah, it's great show. I'm the books give more insight, of course.

It hasn't diverged too much from where I am yet, but I'm sure it's going to diverge quite a bit, because how do you translate a lot of that stuff to the screen? I'm sure there's a bunch of storylines that end up getting cut. But really great show. If you're looking for something to watch, I can't recommend it enough. You get some prime too for free. It's on prime. Yeah. What's also on prime is invincible. Who's watching invincible? invincible is so good. Oh, I'm glad you like it. Yeah, it's it's really good. Is it good to the I've read the comics I

haven't started the show yet. The show fixes some problems with the comics and actually adapts it in a way that kind of fixes some of the we talk about kind of fixes some of the, we talk about this in Gladiess episode of The Real Canon available tomorrow Tuesday. I put it on that podcast. That was a trailer for it on the face podcast. There was, there was.

Much of the sugar in it, some of the members of a fuck face. Or sorry. You got the button. There you go. I have it. It's the only button I have. I have the mini gox large's the only button I have. I have the mini goxlar.

It's the only button I have. No, we talk about it. And we talk about how they fix a lot of things with the invincible. Because in the book, the mom character is almost an ancillary character that kind of just becomes this terrible failure of a drunk later on. And she still could in the show,

because there's still two episodes left. But I thought her drinking some wine in that last episode. Yeah. But like, she's like Sandra O who's voicing her in the cartoon. And she's doing a great job of giving that character a lot more depth and a lot more, I don't know, more value to the story much more than the books made it. It's different from the books, Brian. I think it's actually, I think it's better. Oh, all right. I'll have to. Yeah, I, it's on my list. I've actually coincidentally been occupied with the expanse and we just finished Ted Lasso. So I'm looking for some panels. Yeah, I think five episodes, episode five just came out this past Friday, I think. It's been really, I think there's going to be, was it six that came out?

Yeah, six. I think it's eight episodes. Eight episodes and season one? There's two more. And so they definitely changed the structure so that they could have a very specific thing. I'm assuming happened during the finale. And it's a thing that I'm sure Brian, you know what I'm referencing. But it's a thing that happens pretty early on in the comic and then moves on to being

about other stuff for a while. They've stretched that out a lot more. I'm talking in code to not be spoilery. Right. Right. Does it get shockingly violent? Yes. Yeah.

That like stunned me when I wrote it. Immediately so. Okay. First episode. First episode. Yeah. It's like super gory. Okay.

There's a great, one of my favorite sequences that happens when Omni Man, who's like super gory. Okay. Uh, there's a great, one of my favorite sequences that happens when Omni Man, who's the Superman-like character, uh, travels through a portal to another dimension that keeps trying to conquer Earth. It's the aliens that, like, keep having a different time, uh, ratio to us and they keep coming to Earth and aging too quickly when they're trying to conquer it. If you remember from the comic, Brian,

I don't know if you read it that much. Yeah. No, I think so. I thought that he goes. He goes to their dimension and he's gone and his and and and Mark goes home. He's like, dad's gone on a good dimension and the wife isn't very perturbed by it. She's like, oh, that's like a Tuesday for him. He's probably there to talking them out of conquering. And then they cut to him and they just do this amazing music led montage of him just going full, you know, red eye crazy

on the planet. He's just trying to hold their planet. Yes. Yes. Yes. Roy's like like creating sonic booms and flying through buildings and flattening whole cities. He's just telling them to be nice and not invade our world anymore. It's like, he's glassing their planet single handedly. Yeah, it's great. That was a good, they do some good singe pieces like that. I saw someone in chat saying the animation is good as they wanted.

The animation is actually is better than I expected from the trailer. The trailer sold me it on it as being like a terrible show. And granted, it's definitely you watch, it's an animation on a budget. And we can tell when you see a show on a budget they flex at certain points that I feel like makes up for it like a flex was like that that sequence of Omni-Man going Hulk on a planet. I think they spent all

their money on the cast the cast is like all it's an all-star cast. It's stack. It's good it's it's And it's good. It's really, really good. There's no reason you should not be watching it. Yep. Very, very good show. It was like, it was like the one of the leading beginnings of image comics, which is like the number three comic publishers like Marble and DC and then image comic. It was like their venture into like superhero comics before that they didn't really make

a ton of superheroes. They did, they made some, but like invincible really was a, a new era of them doing a lot more. Same author as Walking Dead. It's Kirkman, right? It's Robert Kirk's Robert Kirk. That's why I loved it about the comic because it was a superhero, them doing a superhero,

but it was clear this is what one person wanted to do. Like he is doing exactly what he wants to do. There's not, you know, I don't know, just a lot of the sort of long-running, you know, Marvel tropes or DC tropes or anything like that. So, yeah, I'm excited. That's what I loved about the comic.

I'm not current on it or I don't know if it stopped, but I was a little more. I was a little bit recently. Okay. Maybe like, again, same as Gavin. I have no idea how time works anymore. So I think I think it was a year ago. It could be five years ago. Sometime in the last five years. Yeah, I sent Gavin a link the other day. If we're, I feel like a couple of times

year recently, Gavin's brought up how it's impossible to shut down a cruise ship. Make it sound like I don't know about cruise ships. You brought it up like two or three times. Two, two times. But when do overproductions did this great video? I love that channel on YouTube, by the way. They did this great video talking about how the cruise industry essentially went away because of COVID, and they had to, you know,

these industries had to do whatever they could to survive. And they talk about the logistic issues involved with some of it. One of the big things they had was, I forget which cruise line it was, I'm gonna say Carnival, it might have been, I don't remember if it was Carnival or not, but like one of the cruise lines like Carnival,

they knew they weren't gonna be able to run their cruise ships, so it's like they had 26,000 employees from all over the world. And at that time, last year, there were no flights that they could take to go home because they travel restrictions. So it's like they had to figure out how to get 26,000 people home without flying them. So in the big one way, all the specific rights, they consolidate all of them to eight ships. And they sailed or they took these eight ships

all around the world, dropping people off back at their home countries. And the people who were on it, the longest, they had all the ships originated in the Caribbean. And so it's like the first that people have to go was the Philippines. So there were some people who had to go from the Caribbean, they had to stop in South Africa to refuel and resupply,

that you go to India, stop and refuel and resupply. And then go to the Philippines. It took them two months to get to the Philippines on a cruise ship from the Caribbean. They're doing some old-school Magellan type exploring. Yeah. But I can't imagine like all the planning that goes into that. It's like, all right, we're going to organize all the employees onto these boats. Like if you're in one of these countries going that boat, if you're in one of these countries

going this boat, you know, everyone has to go off in different directions. Like that is. Yeah. So I'm excited. It must have been just the head to that company just standing over a giant map of the earth and just being like, what are we going to do? We've got boats. So that's it. I like that they operated it like a big carpool at the end of a school day. And we just stopped off at everybody's house. Why have you gone the wrong one? Let's me to go back to England. They're at the Philippines. They got one guys from the Dominican Republic. They just fell asleep that day.

It was a crazy video. It was a really good video. All the way to production was a really good video. It's yeah, a window all the window production videos are really good. They're really well made. Yeah. Is that the same channel that made that one about that airport that opened on that really remote island? I was the issue with the airport. I want to say yes, it seems like they're kind of video. What do they call it? The world's most useful report? Is that what it's called world's most shocking police chases? It was a favorite of mine. It was wind over.

There was like a 46 minute long video about the world's most useful airport. What was the island? Let me see. It doesn't say in the about. There was like some small island off the west coast of Africa. If I remember right. Yeah, there's a lot of like really remote like mid Pacific islands like Tristan Dekuna is one of them where there's like I think at one point it is like the most remote island but at one point the volcano went off so they evacuated everyone to England but then a lot of them hated living

amongst regular societies so they all moved back to this remote island, where there's, there's like one boat every few months to get off it. There's no airport. But yeah, it's not, it's not that island with the airport. It was like a different one that's nearby. St. Helena. That was it. Yeah.

And it's like a very, it's like a, I think it's mainly British people, but they have their own accent. It's kind of like off-British. It's a really strange thing to learn about if you've never lived on an island, I guess. It's a good video, and they get into that in that video, if I remember right. So if you're into that kind of thing, check it out. And they're asking in chat who makes the videos, when dover productions? I also sent you a link to the, was it the Wikipedia about that German app?

Oh, God. It didn't open for like, was it like a decade or something? It was longer. Was it like 20 years? It was the, it was the Berlin brand in burger port. Why not? I guess it like, it wasn't up to code in a bunch of ways. And it just sat empty and then like budget issues. Yeah, you read it more recently than I did, Gus. So it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was not up to code in a bunch of ways. And it just sat empty and then budget issues.

Yeah, you read it more recently than I did, Gus. So it was, I'm gonna try to remember it here. So it was originally planned to open, they started construction in 2006. It was originally planned to open in October of 2011 after five years of construction. It finally opened in 2020. And it was just like, the article about it

is just so long about things that went wrong in the planning process. The thing that stood out to me most was for the fire suppression system, they had this engineer design a system where they wanted to like divert the smoke and hot air away from, you know, the inside of the building, right?

To let people survive as long as possible. So the engineer wanted, they didn't want the smoke and hot air to exit out of the top of the building. So they had an engineer design this system where it would reroute all of the smoke and hot air down, which hot air doesn't want to do that. Hot air wants to pull up. So they had to develop this huge system to do this.

It never worked right. And then eventually they found out the person who designed it wasn't even an engineer, but that he had the gorgeous credentials. And it cost them nine figures to fix that. Yeah, I think just the act of keeping it, because they had to like babysit this empty airport for so many years.

And I think one of the like internal railway trains, they just had it running every day with no one on it just to like ventilate the building, just like push air around. And it went like something like was I think a five or six billion over budget. It was. Yeah. I mean, it was, it's an absolutely ridiculous story. And it finally opened what October 2020 it looks like. You received this, received this operational license May 2020 and started commercial traffic October 2020. 14 years after construction started and 29 years after official planning was launched. That doesn't feel like a German problem that they would have. That feels like a Texas state.

That feels like something we would hear. Yeah. Well, we tried to paint cool flames on the building, but they're all made out of lead. And then I started telling Gavin about this other story that I had recently learned. I learned that in Hawaii, the island of a wallahu wanted to build a train system. And I'm trying to look up the dates here. But I want to say it was also like they started in 2012. No, in 20s. So I guess they started the process in whatever they started this process some time ago. Oh, in 2006, they started the process in 2006.

The initial estimate was that it was gonna cost $4 billion. Oh, yeah, it was gonna cost $4 billion. They had a meeting the other week, like two weeks ago, and they decided the project is still 12 years away from being done. So it's not gonna be done, it was supposed to be done in 2020. It's not gonna be done till 2033.

And when you were texting to me, I was like double checking lead and typo it. I was like, did you mean to write 2033? What? I can even predict that many years ahead. It is such a fuck up. Like I can't imagine being on that project, we wanna be a response for that project,

be like, yeah, we underestimated by a couple of decades of how long this is gonna take. Oh, like, I like that they haven't figured out trains yet. A civil war era technology that they're like, we don't get it. There's, okay, wait, tracks first and then there's a car. But like, if that happened here in Austin, when they tried to wipe, when they,

well, they finally did, when they wanted to widen MoPAC by one lane on each side and toll, and that went years and years, same thing, years and, and it was like way over budget, same thing like the, the, the, the toll, the toll company sued the construction company, like it was a disaster. That's what I was thinking. What I was, I think it was a P.A.s wrote the exact figures on the airport. It was a two point. Yeah, it was eventually like 10 billion or something

in a car. But like, who do you sue in that situation? Like who? Who's who? And who can, is it even worth it? Like nobody can cough up eight extra billion for their, for their error. What even happens in that situation? What happens is companies go bankrupt. Like that's what happened here with MoPAC, if I remember right, and like the construction company or the contracting company that did it, just they ceased to exist. They just went bankrupt and they're like, I have to come in. I think so because it had gotten so bad that like the authority that ran MoPAC, the transportation authority, and then the contractor, they were only toward the end,

they were only communicating with each other through their lawyers. Like it had gotten, and I think, yeah, I think you're right about the contractor. Like they just went belly up, or they never built roads again. I don't, it was something like that. Yeah. So it's like someone in chat, I don't know what is this.

Second year, Diana, I don't know how to say it, I apologize. They say that they're living in Hawaii right now, and that the people making it that rail system have to go back and remake different parts of it because it's already degrading due to the humidity of the eye. Oh, my God. Just kidding. Maybe the real, I guess there's like unforeseen things like remember with MoPAC, they discovered a cave near like six street

And like all the little rare spiders that they had to like I guess shepherd out of the cave and I don't know do something But yeah, there it's so maybe it's just shit like that that happens It's not a studio jibbly movie just fucking gas the spiders. We don't need more spiders. We don't need them That's right. They're like mosquitoes get rid of them get them out of here I like don't just build. That's right. They're like mosquitoes. Get rid of them. Get them out of here. I don't just build through. Gas them first. Yeah.

That's what I hate about those. That's what I hate about those hanging worms that John was talking about. Because I don't ever feel that silk on me. I'm like, there's a fucking spider about to bite me. I have two seconds to thrash about before I die. That's what I think. Yeah, just gas it. to thrash about before I die. That's what I think. Yeah, just gas it. Be doughy, this is like extermination.

Just don't tell anybody and pump gas in there and they'll know. We just found this really empty cave with a lot of green gas on the walls. We don't know what happened. For some reason it's a spider graveyard. Ooh, spooky. Yeah.

Yeah. We found them Friday and they were all gone by Monday. I don't know what happened. I mean, despite his breathe, like we do, what, can you gas the spider? You suffocates by the air. They have to, they have to have oxygen, right? To some extent. I think they have lungs. I think like insects get like stericles. They get direct diffusion through their body, I believe. But they still process oxygen. Yeah. Yeah. And require it. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. People in chat are very split as to whether or not to gas spiders. We can, spiders is debatable. Mosquitoes, we don't need, we literally don't need them. Yeah. No. Don't they pollinate some shit though. Nope. Isn't that a reason no that it nope

I thought it was a reason why we couldn't just wipe out an entire species there sure is a reason It's like part of the food chain whatever the fuck just get rid of them. We will Way up like all these buds will be hungry all just malaria and West Gile Yeah, it's like this mosquito service food for many species. What it says, it helps. Because I looked it up. I looked it up, wow, that's like, why can't we get rid of all mosquitoes?

And it was like other animals eat them. Like, fuck them. Fuck them. Get rid of mosquitoes. I mean, if there's anything to get rid of, it's probably humans. That's probably the best thing for the planet. I mean, I, that's harder.

That's harder to convince government systems to just create some sort of tap on humans. They're working on it in Texas soon. You're going to be you don't mean you will not need a permit to carry a gun. So it'll be a wild west out here. Insane. I'll change the subject from that. I'll change the subject from that. I'm walking by. I had a math moment where I wanted to figure things out. Thanks to the internet, you can figure things out pretty quickly with Google and a calculator.

And I was looking at my apartment pool. And for some reason, I was looking at the pool and I was thinking about how like sometimes people pee in pools. That's a thing but it's it's it's considered taboo because you're peeing and something that is you know a shared Experience or a rails so you're not supposed to do it but I was trying to figure out like What is the ratio of when you pee in the pool to the pool water? Like we get freaked out about it, but really like how much urine is in the pool and I looked it up.

I'ma walk through some math room. You, you, you are a dirty pool peer, aren't you? You're trying to adjust, are you trying to find numbers to justify pee in the pool? I've totally peed in the pool before. Um, but I mean, I wouldn't had like at the very at the very minimum. I every kid pees in the pool. I don't think I went to a pool. It's like a toddler.

I don't think I wanted. You got to wait. Kids got to be with all the time. Um, I don't pee in the pools now. I go use the restroom. It's like you an indoor pool or it's just outdoor pool. Pia, would you do an indoor pool? What's the difference, my sir?

Did your parents ever try to scare you and say, well, they put red dye in there, so yeah. If you pee, it's gonna show up. As a kid, I remember that. I had that whole, like, uh, did you just pee a little bit at first to test it out that you had to hold the hotel? Yep.

Yep. Uh, try a balloon of pee. As a kid, I have, I've peed in a pool. As an adult, I don't do it. I don't pee in a pool. There's bathrooms. Well, good. Anyways, I was thinking about it.

And I was looking it up. Average pool, 20,000 gallons of water. Damn, that's a lot. Average bladder, looked it up, said about two cups of water. Average, some bigger, some smaller. Water. Of liquid, sorry, of liquid. Two cups of water, average, some bigger, some small. Water. Of liquid, sorry, of liquid.

Two cups of liquid. That is 0.006% of the pool when you pee in the pool. If one person pees in the pool. If one person pees in the pool, it is 0.006% of the pool. Okay, but what if they've been drinking all day? That's what they've been doing. I figured out, I was like, okay, what's another way

to put that in terms of like, is it still gross? And I was like, okay, how much pee in a drink becomes too much? And so I did the math, a 32 ounce McDonald's Coke to put the same amount of, I've got numbers, I'm looking at my numbers. I put the same amount of, I've got numbers, I'm looking at my numbers. I have to put the same ratio of piss. The ratio of piss would be 120th of a drop of pee.

Or, uh, uh, one fifth, one fifth. One fifth of a drop. So you'd be perfectly happy if I dropped one fifth of a drop of my piss into your war. Would you be able to tell the difference? I wouldn't want it there. I mean, it doesn't matter if I can taste it or not. The correct amount is zero drops of pee in my drink. Can you confirm there's zero drops of pee in your first and you go?

I would bet you that one fifth of a drop of piss in your, say, bottled water is better quality than the tap water in Austin. Yeah. Is it like regular pee or like I just had a sparigas for lunch piece? That's different. Anyways, I like figuring out, I figured out math, math things. Like I read article today or sometime, well, Shaq was in a engagement ring store and saw a dude in Atlanta.

And he saw a dude buying an engagement ring and he just bought the guys engagement ring. He was like, I got you. It was really nice. Dan, he proposed to, you proposed to his fiance? Did Shaq do it for him? That would be pretty cool. Shaq took the his fiancee.

I think you could do that. But I looked it up and I was like, like how, what is that to Shaq when he does that? Like he buys that engagement. Like what does that do to Shaq's finances? And I looked it up and someone had guests and obviously these things are usually wrong. But someone had figured out that there was investments

and earnings from NBA, he was worth $400 million. Let's just say Shack's worth $100 million. That's big money. Average engagement ring in Atlanta, Georgia costs about $8,000. I'm rounding numbers here. That means that he could buy 50,000 rings with his net worth, which means he could buy 135 engagement rings a day for a year and still have money left over. And that's like, that's an engagement ring to Shaq.

But the story was nice. It's said that he like, like I didn't want to take his money, but Shaq was like, I do this all the time. Like I just go into a store and if I see someone it's like, I'll cover them because he likes doing nice things for people. So it's a nice.

It's a cool, cool, cool rich guy move. My money is a crazy thing. I think big numbers are crazy to get your head around when they're actually money. Like that was that day where the Tesla stocks went up shit and like they said Elon Musk made like $25 billion in a day. Yeah. And I was like dividing that. I was like, that is 17 million, $300,000 a minute. It's insane. Once you get into the billion dollar amount, it's it's it really does become a number where

it becomes very apparent on a moral ethical level. No one should have that amount of money. Because it likes the amount of what, $25 billion, and that's not even as net worth. That's just how much he gained. $289,000 a second. I'll see. The amount of change that you can cause for the world in a good way that you are holding on,

it's just, I'm sorry, you can't be an ethical billionaire. You can't be an ethical billionaire. No, don't bad mouth. I mean, it tons of good stuff for Austin when we were, oh, I'm saying you can't, you can't do a lot. They do a lot of good. But when you still have that amount of money, like I do what I could be, I could be. I could be. It's like that thing that I've learned says in his, in his, in his, in his special, the boat burn. I'm what he talks about. Yeah, shit. Gavin was making a statement about me. I'll shut up now.

But I was like, it's like we're spawn a car in GTA with a cheat code. It'd be like, sorry, if I talk about what camera's off, it'd be like a Lamborghini spawning in every one second. But that's the amount of money away. I need a visual, I need a visual representation. I need someone to show me what it would look like in Los Santos if a Lamborghini spawned every second. Never left.

How many Lamborghini's be south side of my house while I was on this podcast? Just like someone in the middle of Los Santos. And it's just like, what point on a bird's eye perspective is the Lamborghini just start like filling up the city? I take what? If you guys make me a billionaire, I'll be the I'll be such an ethical billionaire. I will I will hire someone to be ethical for me full time. I will pay a full time ethical person on staff. If you all right send me the total of $1 billion.

All right. I don't like I've always wondered like what do I would not think of enough things to do with that money. Like I guess get a bigger house and all that. The only thing I can think of, if I had big money, I would have a big room and I would build my own arcade. Like a bunch of arcade machines and have a movie screen. And some of our climbers. Yeah.

Yeah. That's as far as my imagination. That's insane. I guess it means I'm an idiot, but that's all I've got. No, I would a scientist. Yeah. Yeah. That's as far as my imagination as I guess means I'm an idiot, but that's all I've had. No, I would never leave that room. I think we do have a project now is that a year from now, we're going to, we're going to, we got a year to make Gus a billionaire.

So we're going to do. So a year from May 19th, 2021, we got to get our views up. Give us a next today for 2020 for for20 in 2022, God says a billionaire. How much first ethical billionaire? 1,000 million billion. So let me see how much money I need to make a day. I need to make, is this right? Is that a billion?

Yeah. I'm trying to find, that's a sign of how bad it is when you can't see how many zeros. I need to make $2.7 million a day for the next year. She is. Okay. Like more money already than most people will see. You have to do that every day. For a year. How many shirts from the new car to store? We need to sell. Let's see. Okay. Here's what we do. We make a shirt that says, Gus, the first ethical billionaire,

and then we sell that shirt to help Gus because we sell ethical billion. For $1 billion, we're not gonna make one. Over the 40 year career, see, those who didn't earn a high school diploma or GD, wait, okay, the medium lifetime earnings for all workers in the US is $1.7 million. So you need to earn more than that in a day. In a day.

In a day. And then do it at, yeah. And do it, and do it every single day for the next year. Sell that t-shirt to Elon Musk somehow. Like put a funny rocket on it or something. Sell it to him for a billion dollars. I think the main reason that people seem to be fine with Billionaires a lot of the place is that most people, it's impossible to comprehend how much bigger a billion is than a million. Like a million is already a red map. Already it's sorry. It's already such a shitload that when you think a thousand times more than that, it's

it doesn't register well. Yeah. I think we think of somebody with like $10 million. That's what I think of like, oh, he's got like 20 million bucks or something like he's loaded. I think if you have as much money as Musk, you have to just stop. There's nothing physical you can buy that's going to be worth your time. You just have to start buying industries.

You have to just pick like, I, I'm going to buy shampoo. I'm just going to own all the shampoo of the world or underwear. Because you make more money than entire industries worth combined. That's why they get into space. I think that's why they do it. Because that stuff's so expensive and it's like, nobody else can fund that kind of stuff. It's either governments or billionaires.

Like I mean, we're running out of time. I do, I needed to mention something before we wrap up. So I got to work. I got to miss this real fast. We do. We have our new D&D podcast coming out here real soon. We have a trailer coming out tomorrow, the 20th. So I mean, if you real soon. We have a trailer coming out tomorrow. Yes.

The 20th. So, if you're watching this live, it's coming out tomorrow. If you're watching this later, it's probably already out. Search for tails from the stinky dragon, where you get podcasts. And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- And if you- Gus become the first ethical billionaire listening to Tails and the Stinky Dragon will drive up ad sales for that show. And we'll aid Gus in getting there, okay?

I will paint my roof white. If everyone listens and Venmo's Gus $1,000 Yes, then we'll be well on our way. I'll ask sales and ask them how many listeners do we have to get to make Gus a billion dollars from Tails from the Steak Jacket over the next year? And Gus will be the first man to become a billionaire from D&D. Yes, the ethical D&D billion. The ethical D&D billionaire.

That's a title for this episode. They were they were a rich D&D family. That's where they're phased.
