Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only only on peacock. Hey everyone welcome to the Feed Podcast. This week brought to you by ExpressVPN, DoorDash, and Purple mattress. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Drew. And I'm Barbara. And I'm Gus. It's been a busy day for everyone, I think. We're pre-taping. I guess we should preface first. We should let everyone know. This is a pre-tap. It's a we should preface first. We should let everyone know. This is a pre-tap. It's a holiday on Monday, the 25th. I think.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Here in the United States. So we're pre-taping this Thursday. The point of holiday is. The point of holiday is. Well, it's still on the calendar. So, I mean, what are you going to be doing on Monday? I'll say one day. Actually, what I'm not doing.
Starting point is 00:01:43 A podcast. But you'll meet right there. We could have done it then. No, instead of sitting here, I'll be sitting there. Like, right, you just off camera on that side. Days don't mean anything. Holidays don't mean anything. They absolutely do, especially for people who are literally in meetings and recordings all day, every day, to not have those on one day of the week would be fantastic.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Plus, there are other... It's cool at day and Sunday. It means nothing to us, but there are still plenty of people who do have to go into work. Exactly. It makes sense for the people who are actually going to the office, we're all not there. That's why I'm confused as to why we're observing holidays.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I read an interesting kind of scary article this morning on the New York Times. It said that... is why we're observing holidays. I read an interesting kind of scary article this morning on the New York Times. It said that as people go back to work, like you go back to your building that, office buildings have been empty for a couple of months that because the buildings have sat unused and plumbing has been unused for several months,
Starting point is 00:02:39 that they're not designed for that. So there's a risk of buildings not working right or people catching Legionnaires disease when you go back to building. What catching Legionnaires disease when you go back What is Legionnaires disease? It's a like a bacterial infection. That's highly contagious I like comes from the toilet up your butt. It could come through from stagnant water Oh, because the toilets are sitting full of stagnant water right now all across America So you can oh god, so you come back from work and you get with your COVID and then you get Legionnaires disease. Right. Because none of us have been
Starting point is 00:03:07 eating healthy. Everybody also gets a rickets. Oh my god. So basically we should assign one person to go flush all the toilets at Rooster Teeth. Like once or twice a month. So you met if your company occupied an entire skyscraper and you just had to go flush it all the box to whole building. Legion airs disease is a form of atypical pneumonia caused by a type of bacteria. The signs of symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle pain, headaches, the bacteria.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Oh good. Oh good. So we won't get it confused at all. The bacteria is found naturally in fresh water. It can contaminate hot water tanks, hot tubs, cooling towers of air conditioners, and it's spread by breathing in the mist that contains the bacteria. Oh, don't, don't, don't.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Oh, and then like public bathrooms don't have the lid on the toilets. You can't like keep that like, they just spray poop flakes everywhere. Oh God. And you know, all that plumbing is designed to have water run in it. If you have like a drain that's sat dry for a long time,
Starting point is 00:04:05 that's not good, like the gas gets dry out and could be bad. Yeah, honestly, the worst thing for any building is for it to not be used. Like nature just reclaims it eventually. If it's not constantly being like agitated and stuff, but I've had that with a house that I didn't live in for a bit when I had two because I was filming at one.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Like all the toilets dried up and went mingin' all the cabinets got like stuck shut. So when I pulled them open, it ripped all the paint off, same with some of the doors. It's like, if you're not using a place, you need to spend money on it, fix it, it's crazy. That's insane. I guess that's how places deteriorate so quickly
Starting point is 00:04:41 and like abandoned areas and things like that. Yeah, yeah. So that was a great start to my morning to load up the New York Times. We were like, oh, I didn't even consider that. So you either stay home and avoid the virus or go to work and potentially get the virus and this other disease from your minion toilet water. I'll I'll I'll I'll for that that article to our facilities team and go to the church. Why is it called Legionnaire's disease? The first time it's identified was a Legionnaire.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It sounds like an airline. Yeah, it sounds like a pilot. Just something you get in there. Yeah, it was like the American Legion is I think had a big outbreak of it. And that's where it was discovered and And then named, let me find out, named. The disease named after the outbreak was first identified at a 1976 American Legion Convention in Philadelphia. We are Legion.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Nice. So there you go. Our farmers, bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Where are the bugs? So that's happened. farmers.

So Gus, you've been in content literally non-stop. Oh, day. I had a 15-minute break where I was able to eat a sandwich and then right before we started here I had another 15-minute break where I ate a whole lot of it. Wait, you guys were in a bunch of content all day and then went straight in the podcast. Yeah, it's crazy. We also do that on Mondays too.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Just... Except the podcast is usually at five. so you go for an additional 2. Yeah. So at least, I don't know, maybe... Does anybody have plans? Does anybody have anything on Monday to celebrate your day off? It's true. Yes, because Mondays...
Starting point is 00:06:39 Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm just sleep for as long as I fucking can. Yeah. Until noon 1 p.m. Can you do that? I feel like there's always something going on that wakes me up. Like just people being loud just out in the world. Or your four cats now.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Well, cats actually don't wake me up too much. It's usually like, oh, someone's got a leaf flow going. I'll be a wake. I'll be awake. I'll be awake. I just won't get out of bed. It'll just be like, you know, so you'll get more coffee and then just thinking about how gross I feel in my bathroom.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I have a thing where Benjamin does not let me sleep in anymore. Now when it's about time, when I normally wake up around 7.30, 7.15, 7.30 in the morning, he just comes over next to the bed and starts making noise next to me to try to get me to get out of bed. I don't know what it's like. It's not like we're gonna go do anything. I take him out and then he just comes to the living room and sleeps.
Starting point is 00:07:34 He's just gets tired of sleeping in one room and wants to sleep in a different room. He's sleeping right now. I know that your dog's name is Benjamin, but you phrase that story as though it could have been your roommate and it made it so much better I'm like he just goes in my room and stairs it me and he just sleeps all the fucking time It makes noise as thanks to my parents. It's a grown man. Hey take me outside How much for you to get a dog and name it Trevor?
Starting point is 00:08:02 How much for you to get a dog and name it Trevor? 50 grand. Oh, feeling we can scrape that together? Yeah, absolutely. I want to get a dog. I have to supply it. No, Barbara, you have to sell it. That's fine. I could buy any dog I want with that money. I could buy a horse. I want it too. That's not a dog. Just kidding, I would adopt anyway.
Starting point is 00:08:28 So, but for Monday, I realized sadly today that I was like, oh, nice, three day weekend, but it's actually like one and a half day weekend. So even less weekend than I usually get, because Sunday, we're doing a convention, the Ruby girls were doing an online convention that lasts from about one to five or six PM that day. Online, right?
Starting point is 00:08:53 All online, yeah. So it's like a virtual panel and then virtual meet and greets and all that stuff. By the time this comes out, it'll have happened already, but that's like the entirety of my Sunday gone and then we're also streaming on Saturday doing some gaming stuff. So that's another.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That hustle. Yeah, so Monday is gonna be my one actual full weekend day, which is I'm really, really happy that happens. How do they wrap up a virtual meet and greet? Like does each person get an allotted amount of time? And is there like a third person in the chat with you being like, let's go, like wrap it up. So thankfully, I only did it once so far.
Starting point is 00:09:27 But yeah, so it's a two minute time limit. I always end up going over because it's impossible to have any worthwhile conversation with someone for two minutes. So we end up going along, but there is a moderator in the call with you who essentially comes on and be like, all right guys, start to wrap it up. Or like it also like type with them and say like,
Starting point is 00:09:47 hey, let this one extend a little bit more. Yeah, two minutes is kind of because you go to say hello and goodbye. That leaves you with maybe like 90 seconds of decent conversations, like speed dating everyone. Yeah, it's it is so much more exhausting than you could ever anticipate. I did the one I did last time. It was was still amazing to get to meet people and have that experience, especially not only during quarantine in this situation to allow that to happen, but there's plenty of people who don't go to conventions because of anxiety or disability or whatever it is. That doesn't allow them to attend in person.
Starting point is 00:10:22 This allows those people to actually get that experience because of quarantine. So that's kind of cool. But it is, so we did two hours of the meet and greets last time and it was, all my energy was absolutely gone by the time it ended. So I was like, I hope I was still fun and entertaining to the people who are.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yeah, because you wanna give the same energy to everyone and not the sort of trail off towards the end, right? Yeah, because you want to give the same energy to everyone and not the sort of trail off towards the end, right? Yeah, and I think that's what makes stuff like RTX. So exhausting for us is like, we want to be able to give full energy to every single person we meet and like every panel we're on. And so you kind of put any exhaustion to the side to just kind of go into this mode of meet and greet where you have unlimited energy
Starting point is 00:11:06 and like are trying to like provide everyone the same amount. And so by the end of it, you're absolutely pooped. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about, like if I have a particularly busy Monday, if we're in like five or six lets plays throughout the day, and then I have to sprint from the lets play to the podcast, then we do the post show. And afterwards, I just have like a hard crash
Starting point is 00:11:25 from just like, oh, God. Just melt down and do nothing for the rest of the night. Yep. Absolutely. Well, I don't know what I'm doing on Monday. I have a full three day weekend. So I'm gonna enjoy every day. I like you.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You're gonna play Animal Crossing? I'm probably gonna play a lot of Animal Crossing. Drew, are you on that fan wig in yet? I know that the three of us are. I'm not. I don't have a switch. I don't have why I glue. I don't have the game because I don't have a switch. There's a raccoon in that game though, right? Yeah, this is a video. What's his, they're canookies, I believe? We just had our hearts. And in a Jason Animal Crossing Jason story we just had a recoon, a baby recoon move into my neighbor's yard. We watched him for like 45 minutes the other day just hanging out. Moved in like did he bring suitcases and a box. Yeah, a little suitcases,
Starting point is 00:12:16 a little like flipped up Fedora hat and he was like is it? We just got off the train. Sorry. Is it the great land? Yeah, but he was out during the day, so we thought he had rabies, and then we almost called animal control, and then we didn't. And then it rained really hard the other day here, like that big storm came through. Yeah. And my partner was like, oh, he's dead. Like, there's no way. And then just the other day we saw him in like a very cute little woodland stump next to our house. Was he sitting cross-legged?
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yes, he was sitting cross-legged having a cup of tea. Just a little raccoon cup of tea. Just enjoys like, Allie named him Rigatoni. Oh, that's a good name. That's a great raccoon name. I threw a cup of dog food over the fence for him. So, hope you have a good life. When you played you through a cup of dog food,
Starting point is 00:13:05 are you talking like you took a cup in like a glass and like through the food out of the glass or like took a package thing? So like Admiral has a big like trash can full of dog food and she has a scoop. So we just got a scoop and then went out and went, ha! Just littered the ground. You didn't put a big bagel like a neighbor's yard. It wasn't my
Starting point is 00:13:26 yard. It's the bandilism. I don't check a bunch of animal food and like bird feed into someone else's yard or they just get bombarded by wildlife. Is that a crime? No, not if you know my neighbor. My neighbor has a surplus of just shit in
Starting point is 00:13:43 ephemera energy art. It's just like sculptures and statues and lawn nougues. Like the whole yard is full. Chaga Blast. Yeah. His name, yeah. He's a wild character. He's always at EW's birthday and he wears like a monk costume a lot of days. So a cup of dog food, he will never notice and is fine
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah, I've only had bad luck with raccoons and like once again in that empty house that a raccoon moved in and Technically, it wasn't empty. No, it was Again a band was the thing you rent Yeah, I was trying to sell this place for ages and what one of the couples that were being shown around the real to open the Under the stairs cupboard and there was a recoon in there and they they for some reason didn't want to buy the house They'd have a roommate Then after I moved a bunch of possums ate my hammock It's just like an interesting place to live in Austin. It's not like England.
Starting point is 00:14:45 England, you might get a fox. It's probably the worst thing that can walk into that. Yeah, we don't belong in Canada either. It's weird to have like so many bugs in wildlife in a city you're living in. Yeah, I'm not used to that. I had to kill, I had to spray three wastes in the last week that have started in and around my outside area of my house.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I think murder hornets. They don't look like them. They look like regular Chinese will watch. Yeah, I want to see one of those nests. I bet it's like, it looks like a condo or something. Nope. I think I would move. Uh, if one of those started in my place. I hate that. I'm always really nervous about that Barbara whenever I'm outside. I'm always like looking up at my roof to see if there's any lost nest up there. Yeah. I so tell me if this is true or not. Gus, I feel like you would have this knowledge drew. I feel like you would have it too. You guys both have
Starting point is 00:15:40 like that energy. Go on. So I was told that w wasps are very territorial. So if there's another wasps nest in the vicinity, they won't build another one near there or they won't fly around a different wastes nest because they're very territorial. So what some people do is buy essentially fake wastes and hang them like outside or in certain places to keep wastes from building a nest there or from coming there. And I don't know if that is any truth to it whatsoever. I have no idea. I've never heard that.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I just looked it up while you were saying that. And apparently that is true. Okay. So I'm gonna go look up fake wastes. I see that's exactly what I looked up. I see some DIY fake wasps. Okay. But these are like, this doesn't look like what I think of wasps.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Here, these look like the more like the paper kind. You know, like the big tall ones. So what's we have here are like, almost like honeycombs. I get stuck up in under the roof. Yeah. We use the proper wind. We use the proper wind. When we found one at Lindsay's place.
Starting point is 00:16:54 No, I don't think I was there because if I was, I would never go back. But I know, I think that must have been a time that we didn't come. I only think when there was. I ended up taking it out with one of my shoes. Aw, dear. The whole nest, like just, you just,
Starting point is 00:17:10 you just, you just, you did your shoe? Yeah, it was just hurling my shoes and then running inside, I'd wait for them all to clear and then they'd go back in and I'd like knock more down with my shoe. Because everyone was too scared to go swimming because of the wasps. Yeah, no kidding. We cleared them off.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I sprayed a little bit too. It's a very Texan story. Through my shoes at the wasps. Yeah, I'm kidding. We clear them off. I sprayed a little bit too. It's a very Texan story. Through my shoes at the wasps, man, I swear I'd go swimming. It's my way. The only way could be more Texan as if it was a boot. Yeah.

I was reading about the summer like ants and termites and stuff. There's like interesting things that happen in termite mounds, I guess, or maybe like a bunch of ants too, but if I think termites have a king and queen pair and not just one queen. too, but if I think termites have a king and queen pair and not just one queen, and if one of them dies, they can like release some sort of chemical that turns a different termite, like a reserved one into a king or queen.
Starting point is 00:19:16 These are like that too. Yeah, and they can live like 30 years. Wow. Oh my god. It's like a couple. And that crazy. Yeah, I hate that I hate it so much the African mounds are like six feet tall like they have like giant
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah, they have like big air conditioning systems. Yeah, it's like an air. It's like a super advanced architecture and shit Yeah, like they have systems and angles the angle The sun at certain hours and there's holes are angled so that the wind flows over and like air conditions all there. It's so clever It's it's like but nature's amazing animals man animals man Yeah, like bugs and we couldn't do that if you were out and you were like I want to build a house And I want to build it so it has a natural air conditioning I've no idea how to do that. Yeah, absolutely not
Starting point is 00:20:03 Can we build anything, any of this? That's scary. But I always wonder, what are my instincts? You see, I have a kitten, and the way it interacts with my other cats is a bunch of genetically determined behavior. It will puff up and rear up sideways because it's trying to be dominant sometimes and submissive at other times. I don't know what I got other than like run from fire.
Starting point is 00:20:29 What else do I know genetically? Do you like unthinkably like if you see fire are you run away or are you like? Yeah, but if it's like if I'm in a room and it's on fire, I know to be like, that's gonna kill me. I'm gonna get out of it. And I don't think I need to be taught that. I don't. I don't think any animal needs to be taught that. I think every animal runs away from fire. I think that's like number one.
Starting point is 00:20:49 What was hanging fruit? Gavin, do you blush? Are you a person who blushes? Like from embarrassment? Just in general, and from embarrassment, or from whatever. Because it's same as like a camera, that's a similar thing, right?
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's a physiological response to a... What is that for? What does that signify to other people? And probably that you're sorry, I guess. I'm like, you're a professional. Yeah, like in your face, do I just feel like, hi, please don't beat me. I just feel like most things in the animal kingdom,
Starting point is 00:21:20 yeah, are for survival, like to send a message to something that doesn't speak your language All that being embarrassed does to other people is just make them go like Only the humans because we're terrible So you you posted a Photo of your cat earlier today and what did you write you wrote that it looked like it was in a poster for a horror movie? It looks like a vampire. Like I want to Photoshop a cape on it with the,
Starting point is 00:21:51 like the, yeah, the high color and like jumping out of the darkness at someone. I was doing the thing way, like if you rub a kitten's belly, it will like grab your hands and then you raise your hand up and it goes, it was doing that. But I didn't want to do it too much. I don't want to teach my cats to like attack my fingers. Yeah. Because that's happened before, right? You need a bit. Oh yeah, I got bit by some nuance, but he couldn't see it. Our cats are cat's trainable. Like in any fashion that's recognizable.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah, you're like cat. Yeah, those cats that are used for films aren't there? There's got to be like trained movie cats. Film cats though, like you run five deep on a film set. Like they each know one dumb little thing and that's it. Like that's how you max the cat out. It's like that cat knows sit. And it's like, what else does it know? It's like, that's it. Let's get the cat that knows lie down. Yeah, but I can play fetch. and I was like, that's it.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Let's get the cat that knows lie down. Yeah, but I can play fetch with one of my cats. I accidentally trained another cat to open doors. That's a terrible thing to teach the cats. That's the last thing that ever happened. Sounds like you're building a roster of movie cats. Each cat knows one done thing. When I was younger, when I lived at home before, you know, when I was still younger,
Starting point is 00:23:09 my sister had a cat, and that cat had this weird habit where if it wanted to see, like, it wanted to know what was happening in the house, but it wouldn't necessarily want to walk around. So it would find like a door, and it would climb up the door, the door frame, not the door itself. It would climb up the door frame, that way you could get like a higher vantage point, and it would like up the door frame, not the door itself. It would climb up the door frame, that way you could get a higher vantage point and
Starting point is 00:23:26 it would look around the entire house, you could see what was going on without having to walk to any one particular place. Wow. Yeah, so you'd be walking and it would be like a cat at your eye level, just holding onto a door frame. I don't like that. No, that was not a good cat. I've been watching Mike gets to stalk a bird.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Because it's me like being outside and he just sort of runs around the garden, comes back in. And another cat has started being out there with him, but only when he's out there. But when he was stalking a bird, the other cat immediately went into low-pounds mode with him, and they would both move exactly the same time and then stop. They had this weird thing going. Oh, so cool. Yeah, blue tooth. Yeah, they're synced.
Starting point is 00:24:08 There has to be a way to test what innate human abilities there are. Like, to your point, like, what cat-like abilities do we have as hunters or? Because like, as hunters, we're supposed to be able to like run forever. That's our whole stick is like, you can run a deer to death and then you just walk up to like run forever. That's our whole stick is like you can run a deer to death and then you just walk up to it and stick. And then like talking is also like another thing that we're very good at in order to get things done. But I wonder what you don't just get that from birth though. You have to learn it off someone from someone. I can't speak English. Got my talking at birth. Did you ever seen a video of those people?
Starting point is 00:24:48 I guess it's an old tradition. It's never done anymore. But there's this tribe in Africa. I forget exactly where I'm trying to find it out. Find out where. But what they do is the way that they're tribe used to get food is they would steal it from lions. Has anybody ever seen this before? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It's like nuts. Yeah, three of them will follow a pride of lions. And when they see that they have a kill, they'll just walk straight up to the lions, not showing any fear. And of course, that freaks the lions out. So the lions run away and they'll carve some meat off of whatever the lions killed
Starting point is 00:25:21 and then just walk away with it. And the lions. How about that rule movie The lions are just so befuddled because no animal does that to them that The humans have a few minutes to go and get through and then leave before they come back Can you can you imagine the first guy to propose that to his tribe of people? I'm like look we're gonna take four of us. We're gonna walk right into the lion It's gonna be great. It was like, no, fucking die. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I'm like, it probably happened when their leader got killed in some accident. And everyone was trying to find out who was gonna lead them next. And the next day I was like, yeah, we could just get it. Just like, walk up to pick it up and get it. I never thought about it. Let's go, let's try it. It would.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Why not? I had to go, shockingly well. Yeah, it. Why not? I gotta go, shuckingly well. Yeah, it does work. And like, I've seen that happen in, I think I've told this group before. I think he was blushing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:12 But we had, we had this rule that when in the supermarket I worked out, if you saw someone shoplifting, you weren't men to do anything. You were just men to like get their appearance and we'll call the police, but you were never meant to stop them. And some guy just knew that. He would walk in, walk straight to the booze aisle,
Starting point is 00:26:28 and just pick up whiskey, and then hold it above his head and slowly walk out. And be like, I'm taking it and just leave. And we would just call the police again, and they would try and find him. He did it like four or five times, probably. Last night, I started rewatching Nathan for you. Has any of you ever watched that while it was on?
Starting point is 00:26:44 I was a communist, I don't know. It's any of you ever watched that while it was on? It was a company's episode. You're uncomfortable. I couldn't handle it. Yeah, it's super, super cringe, but the basic premise. I just need an episode, yeah. Yes, that he gives business ideas to companies that might be struggling. And one of the episodes I saw last night was one that I forgot about where he wanted to help a clothing store. And his idea to them was that attractive people should be able to shoplift one item out of the store. And the rationale was that if they stole an item that, and it looked good on them, I think
Starting point is 00:27:12 it tell their friends to go to the store and buy stuff. Oh my God. So they hired a security guard to stand at the door and watch people steal. And if the security guard determined that they were attractive, they could go and take an item. And if they weren't... Was it about to ask who was the determining factor. They could come up with a list of what determines whether someone was attractive or not, but the security guard was not going to get to it.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Security guard was going by his own opinions. Yeah, you're pretty cute. Go ahead. Yeah, I got what you said, Jay. I saw it on Hulu. Yeah, that's why I was hoping through Hulu and it popped up as one of the recommendations. I was like, oh, it's been a few years since I've seen that, so I started watching it. Man, it's just good now. But yeah, like Drew said, you have to be okay watching something that's really cringey. I'm such an empathetic viewer.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I can't. I remember being a kid and not being able to watch certain episodes of Doug. Just being a kid. Oh no, he's going to go talk to Lady Manage. I got to go. I can't look, I can't look. Yeah. Don't do it, no. Do you have trouble watching?
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's always sunny and Philadelphia. Oh, absolutely. I can't watch it without somebody, somebody has to be in the room with me. Like if I'm by myself, I'm like, I can't watch it in life. Because that's like, what, that's one of the cringiest,
Starting point is 00:28:23 like, it's so funny, it's also so hard to watch because you're just like, oh my God, these people and these situations that they're in just make you want to like curl up a ball and close yourself off from all humanity. Yeah. Forever, never. Do you think that's gotten worse? I feel like in the mid to late 90s, like Seinfeld had a lot of moments like that, but if you were to go back and watch it now,
Starting point is 00:28:45 it's not nearly the same on the same level as other shows do that kind of thing today. Is that cause with desensitized? Maybe, it's just getting worse and worse. Like what's gonna happen 15 or 20 years from now? How much, how much worse off that end is it gonna be? I think we're reaching an asymptote. Like I feel like we're getting to the upward limit,
Starting point is 00:29:03 but I, that can't be true because it never has been in the past. Like we've always gone through phases of, like, heavy stuff and like not heavy stuff. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. It's 15 years for media. It will still be a lockdown. Go. We need to, we need to, like next year needs to be 2020, right? We need to like next year needs to be 2020, right? 2022 Like I feel like this was a wash for everything and everyone like I don't want to be I don't want to turn 31 this July And then turn 32 next July I feel like next July I should be turning 31 because this year was just a complete shit show
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, I joke on Twitter that we should just call it 2022 But then someone else suggested we could also call it 20 slash 21 or 2021 for short. What about 2019, the Snyder cut? Oh God. I'm a little, so people are really excited about that, right? But I think that that's insulting to the people who worked on the film. Am I, am I off base here? Like, I think that it would insulting to the people who worked on the film. Am I my off base here? Like, I think that it would be insulting to Josh Weed and that people are petitioning
Starting point is 00:30:10 to get this other cut or they're so happy to see this other cuts. Like, but that's not the movie that was made and released. Did Jack Snyder get removed from the projects and Josh Weed and is that right? Is Josh Weed and I do the research? Yeah, Zach Snyder had to leave because he had some some family things going on. And yeah, Josh Weed and had to come in and did the reshoots. Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:30:28 Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? whole thing in the industry. But yeah, I guess it is disrespectful to the original. To the people who are credited, right? It's kind of similar to when, what was the thing called, where they take films for like historical preservation that they do in the US? Like library congress? Yeah, George Lucas refused to deliver the original cuts of Star Wars, and he will only give them the new ones. Oh really? I didn't know that. Why? Why are he refuse? There's some reason why he's just... There's a reason why they can't release the original ones, right?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Like some legal reason that he's tied up in, that they just can't do it. Yeah, who knows? Who knows? He hates those films for some reason. He can't stop tinkering with them. He hates all of his movies. I didn't realize, it's like his like student film, THX1138, he went back and added CG to it 25 years later. And like that was his first feature that nobody's really like, people know about it, but it's not as well known as a star war. Yeah, he like went back and like added shit to it like dude Nobody cares about this movie. Why are you adding like robots and cars and shit to this nobody care?
Starting point is 00:31:49 I mean like this does a lot about someone cuz like With art and stuff and like paint is Like apparently it's really hard to be done Okay, and they say that like art is never finished. It's just abandoned But he just can't abandon his films. And even decades pass. I think art's only abandoned because you run out of financing. Like that's usually, especially with film,
Starting point is 00:32:12 you usually just run out of people who are like, okay, like buddy, like we can't do anymore. This is way too far. But George Lucas just says, infinity money. So he's just like, no, I'm gonna do a couple more hours. Just two more here. Like, he can't be stopped. infinity money so it's just like no I'm gonna do a couple more hours just two more here like can't be stopped. Is that a control man?

You guys watch anything new recently?
Starting point is 00:33:31 I mean, there's new stuff being released on bunch platforms. I just finished watch the great. Ooh. How is that? It's, the great is good. It's fine. It's not great. It's great.
Starting point is 00:33:42 It's cool. It's by the guy who wrote the favorite. It's got a bunch of actors from the favorite as well. And it's also shot in the same location as the favorite. But it's all about Catherine, the great in Russia. So as long as you can like swallow that pill if you've seen the favorite. Yeah. I love the favorite.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I enjoyed it considerably. So yeah, then you'll love. We agree. Uh-oh. Yeah. Aren't you guys in the tw on something. Yeah, yeah, I Yeah, we're like never agreeing on if content is good or bad. It's right. We're normal exact opposites I can't believe that we both like the favorite it's so far. It's parasite and the favorite As far as movies go. That's it
Starting point is 00:34:17 I've only met one person who didn't like the uh didn't like parasite and that was Christian right? Yeah Or like he didn't he didn't think it was that good. They went on too long. Does he know how to read? I don't know. I got that uh this week I got that Parasite graphic novel that they made using the storyboards from the film and that was really interesting to look through. There's a couple of deleted and extended scenes in the book that you know didn't make it to the film and there's. There's like an alternate version of the ending as well. It was really, really interesting to go through. If you like the film, I highly recommend you. How many times have you seen it now? Oh God. Maybe 30 if I had to guess.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Whoa. How many times? That's not going to be like once a week since it came out. Oh, yeah, there was a period where it was like once a day. Yeah, then it put you down to once a week. I'm not a person who repeat watches things or reads things ever. Is there something gained by that many repeat viewings or does it just become like a comfort thing at a certain point? It's it becomes a comfort thing at a certain point? It becomes a comfort thing, but then every now and then you do realize something different,
Starting point is 00:35:30 or something that you may have missed at one point. It's definitely after watching it this many times. It's, I don't find anything new that often, but it does happen occasionally. Isn't that your most frequently watched film of all time? Hard to say, when I was younger, I watched Run-Lola Run-A- run a bunch because it was like a 70 minute movie and I would put it on when I was cleaning my apartment.
Starting point is 00:35:50 And it's like, if I put this on now and I clean my apartment, I'll know that I've spent like a little over an hour cleaning. It's also a 20 minute chunk, so I'm sure you broke it into different chores. Right. This 20 minute chunk is the bathroom. This 20 minute chunk is chores. Right. This 20-minute joke is the bathroom. This 20-minute joke is sweeping. Exactly. I've probably watched Ace Ventura pet detective the most at any time.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I would have always just rent it. It was like, if ever I was off school, because I was sick, looked at me, I would always just rent that film. I should have bought it. It would have been more expensive. Yeah, at that point. You and I both have a convert film that is Jim Carey. Mine is the mask.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Yeah. I've seen that movie probably 100 plus times. Do you own it in it's like most modern state? Do you have it on Blu-ray or anything like that? No. It was, I watched it when I was younger a lot. And I think we had the VHS tape of it back then. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah. There's also a Veloid boy. I would imagine. Oh, I have a V. I want to have a Jim Carey marathon movie night. Happy awesome. I would care. Both comedic and dramatic.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Maybe just the comedic one. It is a little long period. Okay, cool. Yeah, you know, like all the Ace of Majuras, the Mask, Liar, Liar, there's so many like classic amazing comedies, Jim Carrey. That just make me feel like a child again. I might own it. It's been 90s.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Sure. I re-watched the mask last year sometime, and I remember I looked it up, I'm going to look it up here. At the time that I was watching, because I hadn't seen it in a long time. And I realized I wanna say that the mask, H, Ace Venture and Dumb and Dumb are all came out the same year.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah, 1994. Many more? Yeah. What a year. What a, what a year. What a day. Yeah, what a debut film wise. Ace Venture, the mask and Dumb and Dumb are all the same year. Yeah, those are debut film wise that Eastern chair the mask and dumb and dumber all the same year
Starting point is 00:37:48 Did Batman forever the next year and East Ventura to He's like Our version of doing 20 hours of content to wait, but it moved me for one I don't think I would I would want to meet another celebrity more than him. Oh Absolutely, he's my top. Yeah Him and who Ryan Reynolds? Only because I just want to see that human being in my life at least Just like the ultimate Canadian isn't he? Oh, yeah, he's King of Canada
Starting point is 00:38:23 Which a couple of people of speaking of being Canadian people have been pointing out that like the longer that this quarantine goes on, they're like I think Barbara's accent is starting to come back because she's not spending as much time around multiple Americans. What what what words do you think you're saying normally now? A couple of boats have come out here and there. The around you said a little while ago was very Canadian Yeah, I just need to Need to slap it out on myself again I thought that I'm ashamed of it, but I need to a little bit keep it
Starting point is 00:38:57 All right We also I Think they the trailer is gonna be out by the time it's podcast is that we put out the hardcore mini golf trailer and the whole time in that I'm playing like a British character and I got, I butcher that accent. So yeah. It's not my strong suit. Yeah, I can't do accents. It's really. It's not in my wheelhouse.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I thought I could do accents when I was younger, but then I realized I lived in Oklahoma, and none of the things I was doing was correct. It was just me being really ignorant. I read that Tesla has been looking to build a new new factory and they're looking at either the Austin area or the Tulsa area. Oh, do we want him here there? Yeah. Yeah. Why wouldn't you want to hear? Oh, here's a bit of a lunatic in the limit.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It's going up the deep end. Yeah. That's true. I think I said that on a podcast a couple of a lunatic at the moment. It's going up the deep end. Yeah. That's true. I think I said that on a podcast a couple of weeks ago. It's like, that's the worst part about owning the car is him. Yeah. I touched it to be great. He's working towards good stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I feel like. But like, didn't the director of the man the NASA flight just bounce and was like, I can't with this, maybe with his guy or like with his project anymore. Like he has to have something to do there, right? I'm looking it up. I didn't hear the about that. Oh, yeah. Like recently his tweet about how Tesla is value too high. White is like billions of dollars off the value of Tesla. Oh my God. Why would you do that? I feel like...
Starting point is 00:40:48 It's like me being like, hey, I don't think I should be getting paid this much. Why don't you give me a dimension? I feel like if you want to be permanently unhappy and bored, just become a billionaire. Do you know any of them who aren't deeply troubled? Let me think about all the billionaires I know. Yeah, personally. Let's see. One, two.
Starting point is 00:41:14 I feel like Bill Gates has a shit together. Like Bill Gates looks like trying, okay. Yeah, he's like trying to drive. If you invent a virus and invent a technology, via, to activate it via five gigahertz, I mean, yeah, you'd be pretty happy too. Is that what 5G is? Five gigahertz?
Starting point is 00:41:36 Oh, no, it's not. It's a fifth-generation. You're at like five gigahertz in my real estate. It's like 60. The five-dream frequency is two different frequencies. It's 450 megahertz to 6 gigahertz. Its frequency 1 and frequency 2 is 24.25 gigahertz to 52.6 gigahertz. And which one is you controlling us with?
Starting point is 00:41:53 I think frequency 2. I'm the one that's making you for control. And the first one is the virus. Yes. We've got virus and control. Got it. Of course. We've got a lot of draw on the same page.
Starting point is 00:42:03 I'll in one package. You got to give it an easy name, like 5 controlled. Got it. Cool. Just a lot of draw on the same bed. I'll in one package. You got to, you got to, you give it an easy name. Like 5G to market it. I like have the conspiracy subreddit on my feed and I'm about to like turn it on. I can't anymore. Like it was fine before the movie. How could you deal with that?
Starting point is 00:42:19 I just like, I got it. I just told her like, hey, that might lead me to a good idea for something else, but then like right now it it's just dumpster fire. Like, more. Yeah. I can't even imagine with something like this. That's so people still don't understand so many things about it.
Starting point is 00:42:33 We don't understand so many things about it. But I could only imagine how not so crazy it's driving some people and how many different theories that are floating around that are just absolutely absurd. Can't even begin. On Monday's podcast, I started telling a story and about when I went to Hanks and I picked up that ex-hand which to eat over the weekend. There was another part of that story that I didn't tell
Starting point is 00:43:00 that this is making me think about. So when I went to... Is this a Srirola cut? Is this a Srirola cut? When I went to H Srirolica, this is the Srirolica. But I went to Hank's to pick up that food. Restaurants are starting to reopen here. They're not fully open. But at Hank's, you could sit on the patio outside
Starting point is 00:43:13 if you wanted to eat there. And the way that it worked was you would walk up, you place your order at the host stand, then you go and you sit, and the tables are all separated. When I went, there were only four tables that were occupied in the whole restaurant. You all know, you have to see it. Restaurants huge, and there's only four tables occupied.
Starting point is 00:43:27 So anyway, I go up there to get my takeout food. I tell the host, like, you know, I'm here, I'm here to order online. He goes, okay, let me go get it. He walks into the back and behind me in line, this couple walks up. And I see them parked the car and they walk up and they're not wearing masks. Everybody else, of course, has masks on except he's too walking up like, God damn it. Of course, they're going to get up here and lie behind me. on, except if he's too walking up like, God damn it, of course, they're gonna get up here
Starting point is 00:43:45 and lie behind me. They stay distance away and the host comes back out and the host just comes out, she looks at me, goes, so your food's coming out, can you stand to the side there where I can help these people? Like sure, so I step off to the side to have some distance and those two people walk up and the host just looks at them and says, you two, you need to have masks on.
Starting point is 00:44:04 If you don't have any with you, you can have some, I'll supply you. And then she pulls out a box of masks, disposable masks to give to them. And the couple are like, oh no, it's okay. And they reach into the pocket and pull out their masks and put it on. It's like, you all see everyone else is wearing them. You have the fucking mask in your pocket.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And, God, put them on. The thing, here's the thing. Because we went to H.E.B. the other day for like a little, a couple little things. And I was walking through the store and I was like, this makes me so uncomfortable. But now I can pick out the stupid people. The way easier.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Like before, you don't know who's stupid. Now, that guy, that guy, you, Mr. Nose out right there, you're dumb, like so easy. Or the people wearing the masks like this. Right. Yeah. Or like this, just on their tin. Did you see that illustration that's like, if you wear your mask like this and it has the nose out,
Starting point is 00:44:57 it's like wearing your underwear like this and it has someone's penis out on top of the window. Because I know some people can't wear them, right? For whatever reason. But they probably shouldn't be going out. Well, there's way more people not wearing them than I think have a legitimate excuse not to. And I, like I said, the couple behind me in this instance at Hank's, they obviously had masks and knew they were supposed to wear them and put them on without any fuss.
Starting point is 00:45:21 It's just frustrating to see that. What was up with that video of the mask with a button that opens up like a Pac-Man mouth? Have you seen that? I don't think it's over. I saw that. It was a... Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Well, yeah, it's like a mask with a tube coming out for the control wire and just a button. And it's a video of a guy, like taking his full come to his mask, press the button and the mask goes, and he puts his foot in it, it closes again. I was like, is this a parody thing? What is this? It's a real thing?
Starting point is 00:45:53 What's the point of mask that opens over your mouth? What? I've not seen that. Try and find it. I saw the low five version of that, which was a dude who had taken a pack of like cotton-nell personal wipes and had left the little flap on the lid. And so like it was just like, it was like the manual version. You just like click it open,
Starting point is 00:46:11 eat some food and put it back down. I saw someone do this thing where they didn't have a mask, but they had to go out. I think it was a joke video, but they put their hood up like this. And they took a lid from a pot and put it in here and then tighten the strings on their hood. So it hood up like this and they took a lid from a pot and put it in here and then tightened the strings on their hood so it was just like this glass pot lid right here. And I was like that's pretty smart. It technically works until you sneeze. It's like your own sneeze. That's horrifying. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And at least that is this real. I hope it's not. Oh, that dude looks like a knock off Jeremy Clarkson trying to be a real life muppet. Next in the video, you can actually see it like in action. If that thing doesn't chew, then it's not worth the purchase. It's like. inaction. If that thing doesn't chew then it's not worth the purchase. Well that's great. This episode of the Rifty Podcast is brought to you by Purple. Technology has improved just about everything. Phone, car, shopping, mattresses on the other hand have more or less been the same since the invention of sleep.
Starting point is 00:47:20 But we deserve better and finally the mattress has evolved thanks to purple. The secret to purple is the purple grid. It's a panted comfort technology that instantly adapts to your body's natural shape and sleep style.

That's purple.com slash rooster, promo code rooster, for $150 off any mattress order of $1,500 or more, terms apply. But yeah, it's weird. What are we?
Starting point is 00:48:14 So I guess at this point now, we're in phase two of Texas reopening, which, oh, wait, tomorrow bars can reopen, which is, which seems really scary to me. Yeah, I believe you're responsible. Tomorrow, yeah, bars can reopen. I saw, I don't know if we should address this or not, because it was just one comment, but I saw a comment on last week's podcast that was just like, why are they still doing podcasts from home, Texas has reopened.
Starting point is 00:48:45 So I don't know if we should address that. Well Austin really has, Austin has different rules in the rest of Texas. The mayor has been like way more cautious than the rest of Texas. But even if Austin has started reopening, which I'm sure it will, little by little, as time goes on, Rooster Teeth is going to make sure that everyone is safe
Starting point is 00:49:06 and that we're operating in a smart, sensible way. And I don't really see us going back to the office and interacting with each other in person to a large scale anytime soon. Yeah, I think we started our work from home before the city issued itself shelter in place order. That's right. Yeah. And I mean, I think you may start to see us slowly, little by little filtering in, but you won't see like you did earlier this
Starting point is 00:49:35 year. That'll be a while before you have a large production like that again. Plus, now I feel like about Legionnaires disease. I feel like a lot of the gaming staff too, they don't necessarily need to rush back. Like most of achievement hunter can be done from our homes. Anyway, without like a significant loss in quality. It's only a vibe missing from not being able to look over and see someone. But yeah, and like the between the game stuff that you guys are typically do is, yeah, I have to get a
Starting point is 00:50:02 little more creative with what you do. Just kind of like what we're having to do for our two life and hard mode and different series to make like that, we have to get real creative with it. I think a big thing for me has been like, it's so much harder to read a room now, like in video chats, and you can't feel people's energy near you or next to you. And so it's just like, I don't know what y'all are about. I don't know if you're having a good day or bad day. But I'm gonna save my peace.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Good luck. Yeah, it's also really like when you're saying something in a group meeting and then nobody responds because it's like everyone's at their own computer in their own space. Like some people are looking at their phone or a different tab and it's not like being in person where if someone's like clearly on their phone or laptop in front of you, like, hey, could you not do being in person where if someone's like clearly on their phone or laptop in front of you, you're like, hey, could you, right? Right. In the meeting.
Starting point is 00:50:47 But for this, it's just like, all right, anyone have any thoughts on that? Hello. And in real life, there's no possibility of a connection issue. Like you're never in a room full of people and then like, oh, did I cut out? Right. Yeah. Oh, that's the worst. When you go on like saying like a long piece, you're like, oh, nobody heard anything.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Or, oh, I'm muted. Or, my connection dropped. All the stereotypes are absolutely true. I'm happy to. I'm pretty sure it happened to me last week. I audibly farted in a meeting, thinking about it. I'm thinking about something.
Starting point is 00:51:21 I got just hanging out, thinking about something. I was like, oh, oh, God. Oh, God. Your thing just lights up. Are you talking? Are you talking? No, my ass is. Just for screens, you'll video, but you're not saying anything.
Starting point is 00:51:37 The problem I've been having, it's not something that I do, but I've got a large window off here to my left. And for some reason multiple, it hasn't happened to pass couple of days, but some days a few times a day, a bird will try to fly to that window. So I'll just be sitting here. Yeah, and I'll hear like a thunk,
Starting point is 00:51:54 and I'll look and I'll see a bird flying away like, okay. So if you ever hear like a loud thunk in the background when we're doing this, and if I look off that way, there's probably a bird that just flew into a window. That means that's happening, I mean, that's happening when we're doing this. And if I look off that way, there's probably a birth. It's flew into a window. That means that's happening whether you're home or not. So like how many birds have hit that window at this point? Like we're talking about a count.
Starting point is 00:52:13 I have no idea. Yeah, there's one in particular that I can definitely see. You'll see them if they hit. I found a dead bird in my backyard once. That's so sad. Like must have, must have hit it a little too hard. I, well, yeah. Birds are dumb.
Starting point is 00:52:28 They're watching. You've seen the animated adventure. They're watching me. I sent you that clip, didn't I? Have that bird that flew into the side of my house? And I hope you can. I can't hate it, I mean. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:52:41 The cat was like, it was like, it was waiting for that. Check it out. It's like a, like emotional, I got my phone. And I was like, it was like, it was waiting for that. Check it out. It's like a, like emotional, I got my phone, and I was like, it was like David Attebris should have been narrated it. You see the bird go into the wall, not even a window. It plops down onto the floor, and within like two or three seconds, it's being carried away by a cat that is just
Starting point is 00:53:00 runs in from our screen. Yeah. Actually glad you didn't have to worry about that. That you're not constantly looking over your shoulder, worrying if an animal's gonna come eat you? No, you just walk right up to it and take what you need. Okay. It's not like you have to worry about a,
Starting point is 00:53:18 I guess, a bear. Like, right, if you were in the woods, like you'd think about like a bear or a mountain lion or something that would come and get you, but for the most part, you don't have to worry about, in your day to day life, you don't worry about an animal just showing up and eating you. No, just viruses coming for you. I mean, most animals is scared of humans, based on evolution.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Oh, speaking of animals, I read this crazy story, I think it was last week or the week before, about this four-year-long war that some chimpanzees had. It was the Gamba Chimpanzee War. It lasted from 1974 to 1978. Literally on the monkey-new section of the Pukas. It's like, is this a recurring section that I've been keeping up lately? It's a huge truth.
Starting point is 00:54:07 It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth.
Starting point is 00:54:15 It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth.
Starting point is 00:54:23 It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a huge truth. It's a to read all the details about it, but it's this four year long war and eventually one of the tribes of chimpanzees just ends up getting totally wiped out by the other one. I bet there was like baby stealing and cannibalism. Monkeys have messed up. It was, like you chimps his back. Chips especially are fucked up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:41 You can't have a chimpanzee after it's a baby because it'll just rip your face off one day for fun Don't rip your face or genitals it often eat them. Yeah Fun by PG tips Yeah, anyway, I'm scared dude. Don't go to war with monkeys. I think that's that'll be the title of this episode I think that's that's that'll be the title of this episode It wasn't like when the the virus for started wasn't there I forget what place it was I want to say like Singapore maybe where because there were monkeys in Thailand and the deer in Japan, in Nara, Japan. There are both groups of animals
Starting point is 00:55:30 that are normally fed by tourists, and since the tourists were gone, they just went on a rap pitch through the town. They just played that mess about. Did they go looking for stuff? Like they went to go hunt people down. I'm hungry. No, they went to the brain.
Starting point is 00:55:43 They're human-drying. Right, they just went through the town to start eating everything oh my god we had that that is the nightmare the video is way more terrifying I thought anything with thumbs is scary to me like if you have thumbs I mean you can open cabinets and doors and locks and shit like I know I can't put a cabinet without a thumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah, but it's way easier with a thumb. You can hold a mug. You can hold a mug. Anything with a thumb can hold a hot mug of something and it's out of the key. He has a mug. Don't, don't baby right from the check rooms. The thumb saying is like, that's why I gave him the cup of dog food to appease the thumb thing that lives next door.
Starting point is 00:56:24 So would you say like things that don't have thumbs if they had thumbs would be even more scary like an alligator with a thumb? 100% well the two things one it'd be funny if it was like on his forehead like if it was not where my thumb was supposed to be I don't think that would be a scary but if an alligator walked out and was like hey you want a thumb wrestle I'd be like no alligator walked out and was like, hey, you want a thumb wrestle? I'd be like, no. I already just had a gun. I'm not afraid of alligators. Well, this alligator has a gun. Oh, very bad alligator. Welcome to Florida, bitch. Did you read about that woman in South Carolina who got killed by an alligator a couple of weeks ago? No. I'm trying to look up the exact details. I believe it was the woman was like she did people's nails.
Starting point is 00:57:10 And she showed up to an in-home appointment to do someone else's nails. And the nail, what do you call them? The nail dresser? What's the appropriate name there? The nail tech. The nail tech saw an alligator out at a lake on this woman's property.
Starting point is 00:57:24 So she went out by it. And the woman who owned the house was like, don't go over there. There's an alligator out at a lake on this woman's property. So she went out by it and the woman who owned the house was like, don't go over there. There's an alligator over there. And I saw that alligator eat a deer last week. And the male tick's response was, don't worry, I don't look anything like a deer. So she went up to the lake to try to touch the deer, or to try to touch the alligator. The alligator snatched her and started dragging her under the water. The people who were her and started dragging her under the water. The people who were there tried to savor, they tried to pull her out of the water.
Starting point is 00:57:51 And her last words were, I guess I won't do this again, and then the alligator dragged her under. Oh my God. Wow, that's awful. Yeah, she was right. Yeah, that's terrible. I can't imagine how awful that is to experience. That's the list of things I don't want to experience while dying, or ever in my life. Ways I don't want to die at number 2005. I think the best way to die would be stood under a nuke.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Just being probably. I think it would be. You don't get anything dying in your sleep, probably, while you're old. Do you think that you really died in your sleep? I always wonder about that. I would die without waking up first. Peacefully peacefully in his sleep is like maybe like the only thing that I could think I was like, oh, you had a nightmare so bad
Starting point is 00:58:44 that it killed you. Right. I mean, peacefully in your sleep. But all that's just, yeah, I don't think there is something you just don't wake up. And what if I in a coma, but surely if you die in the night while you're just asleep, you wake up and die. And then you then the people to say you died in your sleep.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Or what if you have the worst nightmare ever? Like that's what it is. Like, like, like a kind of parallel to what Drew's saying. It's like what if part of that is, you actually don't wake up, you just have literally the worst nightmare of your life. That could considerably seem to go on for a really long time. Like every time there's like,
Starting point is 00:59:16 oh, you dead people in the sleep, that's how I want to go. But then I was thinking about, I guess Fred Willard, that's how everybody framed him dying this week. It was like, yeah, peacefully in his sleep. I was like, I don't know about that, man. There's a catch in there. Somebody's not telling me something.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Yeah. I also was very confused, because that article about him came out and it was like, Fred Willard, age 86, passed away. But I looked him up and I think it was either his Wikipedia or IMDB page. One of them was saying he was 81. And one was saying he was born in this page, one of them was saying he was 81. And one was saying he was born in this year and another one was saying he was born in that year.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And I was like, is he 81 or 86? And I think I discovered he's 86, but it's weird that there's information about someone that big who like they don't, they have inconsistencies with when he was born and stuff like that, I found it very interesting. I think that happens a lot in entertainment, right? People are watching over here. Yeah, actors, man, they'll tell you.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Yeah, what a guy. I still don't know how I still don't know how old Joel Heyman is. I don't think I ever will. That was one of the things when Grant Thompson, the YouTuber, he died in a, like a paramotor accident. But all of the first reports had his age wrong, which made me think like it maybe wasn't true. So it's like, shit, is this real? And I couldn't, I just couldn't figure out for ages if it was real. And I turned out
Starting point is 01:00:36 to unfortunately be real. But the first few articles had his age all over the place. Well, I mean, there's a lot of misinformation online too, if you look something up, I think for a long time, if you looked me up, it said that I was born in Web County, Texas, which is entirely untrue. You know, the people just post stuff right up online. I love my early life and like heritage stuff. It's just complete garbage online. Why would I pay it?
Starting point is 01:01:00 That's actually segues into something that I wanted to talk about. We were doing that stuck at home podcast with Bernie. We did a few episodes of that. First episodes available for everyone. Then we have three other set available, first members. But when we were planning that, we were trying to organize when we were going to tape it, how many we were going to do and all of that. I saw people posting online, like the rumor mill just starting, and people saying that like Bernie had cut all ties with us or that he was mad at the other founders
Starting point is 01:01:31 and that we weren't talking. And I was like, well, I mean, I don't want to address that, but that's entirely untrue. And I saw people like agreeing or piling onto that. It's like, it's a good time to remind people just because you read something online doesn't necessarily make it true. There's a lot of very false information floating around, I mean online in general, but also like within the Rishie community about like, why certain things happen or why certain decisions were made and it's, don't believe a one random comment you read and then take that information and make that like fact to yourself. Yeah, the thing I don't like is when people are like, oh, I don't know if this is true or not,
Starting point is 01:02:06 but I read it's like, well, then don't repeat it. Right. Because then someone's going to see your comment and then be like, oh, I know why this happened. Because I saw a comment about it. This is why it's like, it just builds off. There was a lot of that also in early days of like shelter in place and lockdown. Like I saw a lot of people writing like,
Starting point is 01:02:25 oh, I don't know if this is true or not, but I read that the government's gonna institute martial law and they're just waiting to lay out the troops in place. Like, it's not. So don't repeat it. And you don't know it's true. There's no value in saying it. I think that's where a lot of those conspiracy theories
Starting point is 01:02:37 come from and like also just people repeating things. Like people want some modicum of control over their space. And so it's them being able to be like, I know a thing, I have a fact, like let me show you what I know so that I can have control over the situation that's going on. I think with something like this,
Starting point is 01:02:55 it's so out of like nobody knows all the facts yet. It's like trying to figure it out. I think a lot of people kind of grasp on to that and say, I have the facts, but. Yep. But no. It's something where I think, you know, it feels empowering to have information
Starting point is 01:03:13 and to know something that other people don't. And I feel like that a lot of people online, I don't want to say this in a weird way, but like get off on that kind of power. So when they could say something that like, oh, well, this is why, or, oh, I heard because of this, like being that person to deliver that information and know something that other people don't is a very like self-fulfilling feeling. So I could see why people would want to do it. Just don't. Yeah. Anyway, all right, I just felt like I wanted to say that on Monday when we talked about the Stuck
Starting point is 01:03:49 at Home podcast and when Jeff was on. That's why he met Bernie. It's funny because we text like every day. I told him more now than I did when he was at the office with us. He sent me a video the other day of that call center where we all met and we all worked at. He had, I guess he took a video in, I feel weird. I think he took a video in 97 and then another video in 1999
Starting point is 01:04:15 and he shared them with us. I was like, man, I forgot how small that call center was or how close, there's a lot of little details you forget. It was weird to see that space again because that office doesn't exist anymore. They've moved since then and that building is something to bring out. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Because it must have been on tape somehow. Yeah, it's not like cameras were rare then, but it is rare to bring one into an office job. I think he was trying to film some promotional stuff for the company. That's the only thing I can think. That's what that's how it kind of looks like. It's funny you're saying that you get more text from him now that you did before.
Starting point is 01:04:56 I think the same is for me. He'll text me about the most random things, or like semi-tick talks. I'm just like, oh, this is nice. I get to talk to Bernie more. and TikToks, and I'm just like, oh, this is nice. I get to talk to Bernie more. But he sent me a text right after last laugh came out, and he said, it's funny, this is gonna spoil it. So if you haven't seen that episode yet, it's over a week that it came out now.
Starting point is 01:05:15 So you should watch it. But he said, it's funny. I laughed at the exact same point as Gus. Must be from working together so long. There's the last text he sent me. The last text he sent me was the last text he sent me was, dude, I laughed at the exact same moment as you on last laugh. Barb's eye lock would have killed me.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah. Something about the eyes with that teary look that you do, it's irresistible. You're laughter. I also painted eyelashes down there too, so that they would tear while I cut my sad clown. Can we talk about stuff that was cut from that that didn't make it to the final edit or do we wait until it's all over? I think we could. If it's not going to spoil anything too bad.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, I mean, it didn't have any effect on the end of the game, but another reason that, so when you came through the door and we locked eyes, the thought that went through my head was that if I turned away that you were just going to target me. So I had to kind of stand my ground and hopefully not laugh. But what had given me confidence into thinking that I couldn't laugh was,
Starting point is 01:06:17 and this was cut entirely. This didn't come out. This was cut entirely from the show. It was earlier in the competition. Lindsay had come back after she'd been eliminated, and she was acting like a cat, and she was covered in lube, and she was targeting me hard,
Starting point is 01:06:32 like rubbing on me and rolling around at my feet, like trying to get me to laugh. I don't know why that happened. Yeah, and in my mind, I was like, I survived the Lindsey targeting me as like, I can do this. I can stare barber down and not laugh. Like the Lindsey thing had given me confidence,
Starting point is 01:06:46 but I just, I just couldn't hold it together. I like that whole thing took place. And aside from this story, no one will ever know about it. Yeah. It's a guy who's cut entirely. Although, like, they have so, they have six hours of footage from multiple cameras. I feel like there could be some bonus things released at some point.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Deleted. No, yeah. That's not always weird about doing productions I feel like there could be some bonus things released at some point. Deleted. Like that. Yeah. That's not always weird about doing productions with other parts of Rucity. It's the inner chimpanzee. Almost everything comes out. If we do like an hour long G mod video, it'll probably come out as like 45 minutes with
Starting point is 01:07:19 just like gaps cut out, but not like big chunks cut. So it's always weird to see or hear about something that you may have done in a Ruseet video and be like, oh, I forgot about that because it didn't come out. This whole thing was cut. It's like a very different thing than what we do in AH. Yeah, well that was like six hours of footage. Yeah, each one is half an hour, right?
Starting point is 01:07:41 Yeah, about half an hour. So I mean, they end up cutting half, over half probably, over everything that was taped. Yeah. How many hours of footage did you guys get for a weird place? So it came out to be we had an hour of content that we actually like aired and we shot four, six hour days. So there was 20 probably in the neighborhood of like 15 hours of footage. Wow. And you put out one. Yeah, because we were like, we would be in there all night.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Yeah. And we'd be shooting pretty consistent. Like, get out of the truck, we were wrong. We shot almost the whole night. We were in there, right? Like, yeah. That wasn't a ton of waiting around. Right. The most of the downtime was like, oh, we've unlocked a door. We'll now walk through it. And then you would be like, all right, hold and all the cameras because we didn't have like 19 cameras. It was like two main ones walking around or something or two or three.
Starting point is 01:08:38 So everyone had to like move past us and get ahead of us so we could like, film us coming through. So it was like, stop starting that regard. But it wasn't a ton of like, waiting around. Right, it wasn't like, it wasn't like on a movie set where you're like reframing things. So yeah, we were always, it was a ton of footage for a 60 minute show.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Yeah, it's crazy. We also wasted a ton of footage because it was that bit right at the beginning where we couldn't get in the house because we hadn't discovered the thing that unlocked the door. The thing is, it's like, it wasn't real, there wasn't anything tied to what unlocked the door. You were just be like, all right, that unlocked the door.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Right. I didn't like give the cue to unlock it. Yeah. So I found the thing that unlocked the door, but no one on the crew knew, because we were like spread out. So I like opened the mailbox and did something and then it did nothing. So I was like, last minute. Right. And then you were like, you were like by yourself away from camera and like you're like, something and I'm like, off an hour or something, you were like, guys, mailbox.
Starting point is 01:09:40 And I was like, oh, I already tried that. I didn't do anything. And we were like, mail box and I was like oh I already tried that I didn't do anything and we were like I mean okay yeah stuff like that was pretty funny did you all see that announcement a couple of we go about how Tom Cruise is going to film part of a movie in space he's been wanting to do that for years and yeah I guess I guess they're finally going to do it. That's that's what He's like a big guy. I love that. It's a game.
Starting point is 01:10:13 It has a come to an abomin comment. It has nothing to do with gaining. It's just Tom Cruise wants to do crazy shit. That's it. You like what do you mean what it does? We're talking about that movie now. Right. Even the point it's just Tom Cruise wants to do crazy shit. That's it. What do you mean what it does? We're talking about that movie now, even the point. That's not the end yet.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah, it's just like when he was hanging off the side of the plane as it took off in the other movie. And it really does all the skydiving shit. He takes out an insurance policy and gets a producer credit on any movie that he does so that he can do his own stunts. Just because he loves like thrill seeking shit like that. I bet though, if they do have him in space for real, they will do a shot that lets you
Starting point is 01:10:48 know that it's real. Like, he's inside a space station and then like opens the door and the call is him out into open space and it's like, there are no green screens. And it's like, we think about like a thousand times more money. We think about like a mission impossible fallout. They have that halo parachute scene, right, which they did practically. It's like the same kind of thing where you're filming inside a plane and then with no cut, no nothing, you just like, you walk off the plane and jump out.
Starting point is 01:11:14 They did that to me. 35 times, right? It was like 35. It wasn't big, so the nuts. It just wasn't as impressive to me as the holding onto the side of the plane one. Because I feel like a halo jump, you could easily fake. You could see all his facial details. It might too is still the one for me when he's between the two rocks. And like just free
Starting point is 01:11:35 swallowing that fucking dude. That's why he pulls the brakes on the bike, and he like, and knows the front and it's spinning around, and it like just spins around over and over again in the camera. That is an insane piece of cinema. It's ridiculous. I've got a couple of friends who've like done like AC movies with him and apparently a thing that he does, because AC does focus pulling, he'll ask the AC what foot they want him to land on. Like if he's doing a run like his classic Tom Cruise run, they'll be like, he'll ask, like what foot they want him to land on. Like if he's doing a run, like his classic Tom Cruise run, they'll be like, he'll ask,
Starting point is 01:12:08 like, do you want my right foot or left foot on the mark? And the AC will be like, I don't know, right? And he'll make sure like my buddy said he was doing like a hundred yard dash. And every single time you hit his right foot right on that mark, no matter what. Wow. Yeah. Like that's that's a skill. Like very good. My God, a skill. That's a skill. Very good. My god.
Starting point is 01:12:25 A technician. I can't even remember what hand I picked something up with when I filmed something. He clearly has a great idea of a lot of the technical roles on a film set, even to his even suggest that he must know exactly what they're dealing with. And has he directed anything? I don't even know.
Starting point is 01:12:44 I'm going to have to look it up. Because I feel like he would be a find, like, he'd be a very good director because he's been around forever. It probably be an excellent camera operator, too. Right. Maybe he'll be a camera operator for himself. Like, they can save money on his space filming
Starting point is 01:12:59 if he operates the camera as well as acts. Well, I feel like that was like a classic Jackie Chan move would be like, oh, we, Jackie Chan would want a shot of like a sweeping camera shot as like a bunch of bad guys, like scale a wall. And they'd be like, ah, we can't afford to like put a crane up on the rooftop. And Jackie Chan would be like, someone hold my legs, I'll hold the camera. And he would just like operate the camera in this, you know, super dangerous location himself just to get the shot. That was like a super like common thing for him to do. Tom Cruise has directed one episode of television in 1993
Starting point is 01:13:31 according to IMDB. I mean, we heard it on the record. Right, following a joke. Oh man. You know what I haven't stopped to think about yet? Is when we used to do the RTPAR guest in the studio, Gus and one burners on the podcast, you guys used to have your laptops open, so you could like Google stuff like conversations
Starting point is 01:13:49 like this that we're talking about. We could do that. All of us are doing that. All of us are on our computers, just googling stuff during the podcast. I never even thought about it. I can't use my PC though, because I have one of those really loud mechanical keyboards, so I have to use my laptop here to the side here. I'm going to type something for you. because I have one of those really loud mechanical keyboards. So I have to use my laptop here to the side here. I'm gonna type something for you. Do you pick that up? Yeah, it's not very fun.
Starting point is 01:14:12 It's like that. Can you hear mine? Mine's not as loud. Sweet, no. Got away with that. You got a better mic. Oh, it's just that. Plus all throw away, maybe.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Yeah, if we're listening on Discord, it may not pick up on the threshold. True. I was also hoping for a really long con joke, Gavin, and like, you were going to play a piano concerto, suddenly I'd know where. You hear my? Me, me, me, me, me, me.
Starting point is 01:14:37 This has like a sample name. Man, yeah, the prep to get that joke. It's still like a run- run in an hour and 15 minutes into the podcast where, oh, there it is. Okay. What was that gag that Todd did on the podcast where he had them Photoshop? Like he wanted to bring something up specifically
Starting point is 01:14:54 in the head like all this. Is it maybe Yoda? Photoshop, he had like this long setup. He made me talk about something. This is I. Yeah, he made you talk about something and then like he was like zoom in on the photo and like built this whole thing in Photoshop. It was like and enhance the photo
Starting point is 01:15:07 and then it was like a mime. It was a mime right? Yeah. Uh, it was for the bit where the lady in Japan saw herself and like somebody who knows you better because they're rushing from right. Look at you. Remember. Were you on that podcast yes Have you been on a podcast since we stole Chad's desk Yes, I think I've been on twice. Oh sure. Yeah, I still love your reaction to Seeing it because you just walked past it a first of that Noisy in here, okay, Like I got a lot going on. It's like, I watched you. I remember thinking like it was breezy.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Like, oh, it's really spacious in here. And then like I figured out a little bit was like, oh, Chad's desk. Chad's desk, yeah. Back. That whole thing was such a thing. I don't know how else to describe it. There was such a lot of prep work for something that should have been a very simple thing. I don't know how else to describe it. There was a lot of prep work for something that should have been a very simple thing,
Starting point is 01:16:07 but the video that came from that day were so fun. Still some of my favorite stuff we've made recently. This is just a really like John's explanation at the beginning, the way he phrases it, because he's talking about John Mace working on getting the microwave. And he's like, how do you work on getting a microwave? Like he's genuinely angry.
Starting point is 01:16:27 I think it was he's feeling it. Sounds about right. All that work and that microwave is just sitting at our office getting a lesion. It's gonna be a lesion air is microwave. I was gonna keep saying a lesion air. A lesion air is microwave. We had a new episode of Black Boxdown come out today. Plug on Thursday, not on Monday.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Everyone should go. The podcast is so good. I was actually listening to it right before we recorded Densions and Dragons today. I was almost late because I was so engrossed in the story. That was a brutal one, the value jet 592. That was the first episode of that podcast we had to record from home. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:17:09 Yeah. That was that long ago that we take that. How far ahead, oh, you won that one. We taped episode 10 two weeks ago, and we're taking a little break right now because we got so far ahead. Actually, I should say, I don't even know if we're going to make more. Can I say that? Yeah, we made 10 and then depending on the reaction, we make more. We may make more. I think right now it's been pretty positive.
Starting point is 01:17:33 So I think we're starting the process of exploring what it would take to make more. So playing crash. Yeah, there are no more scheduled at the moment. But I think we're at the point where we're going to start trying to figure out if we can schedule some more. I lost context and I thought you were there no more plane crashes scheduled. I was like, I don't know that you're Now we have a big list of incidents that we want to cover. No episode 10 is our longest episode. I think episode 10 We taped for over an hour. So that might be an hour long episode. And there's usually what? 30?
Starting point is 01:18:09 Not 30, but it's about there, but it's what we shoot for. Gotcha. It's like the perfect commute podcast. Not too long. Not too long. Not too long. No one's doing that. No one's doing that. Oh yeah. I imagine people wouldn't necessarily want to listen to it on a plane. Although, as you say in the show, Gus, air travel is the safest form of travel.
Starting point is 01:18:29 It's very true. And it's because of incidents like that. The things just get safer and safer all the time. I finished up on an unrelated note. I finished watching the last dance earlier this week. It's at ESPN documentary about Michael Jordan. I don't know if anybody else saw it. Oh yeah, you were talking about that last week.
Starting point is 01:18:48 Yeah, I hadn't finished it yet by that point, but I just finished it earlier this week. God, it is so good. Even if you're not a basketball fan or you don't think you know anything about sports, I would highly recommend everyone watch it. My glasses are crooked. I didn't know it was great. I didn't notice. What's...
Starting point is 01:19:05 That's crooked. Maybe eating meat has affected your nose shape. Maybe. I'm off-kilter. Anyway, yeah, the last dance. It's really, really good. I highly recommend everyone watch it. I think it really contextualizes what a force Michael Jordan was and not only in sports,
Starting point is 01:19:27 but in pop culture in general. I just remember being huge when we were kids. Like being five or six or just being like Michael Jordan, I can name one basketball player when I was five. It's Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I would see him all the time on stuff living in the UK and Barsky was not super popular in England.
Starting point is 01:19:46 So it would be rare to know more than like maybe four or five Barsky will players if you live in the UK. I mean, we're not mentioning the elephant in the room for against face jam guys. That's how we all know him. That's how big of it. And like, I think that and like the MacDonald's tie-ins to space jam and all the happy meal meals It's like it's like punched into my childhood Michael Jordan. You just said McDonald's and now I really want my All I want is 45 chicken nuggets and like nine sweet and sour sauces like like that I'm happy to tell you you can make that happen. I Know like I'm happy to tell you, you can make that happen. I know, but like, they're like, McDonald's has got a complaint against him about like making unsafe working friends.
Starting point is 01:20:32 I don't really, I didn't know that. There was something on red the other day where they're like, hey, they're not wearing masks. Well, I'm still going to order. On Monday, I forget. Did I mention that restaurant that's putting mannequins at their tables? Yeah, you did. To make it seem like more full. To make people feel more comfortable. I don't think I mentioned this part of it when I mentioned that story on Monday that they're dressing all the mannequins in fancy 1940s attire
Starting point is 01:21:10 How is that gonna make people feel better Feels like I'm walking on to like an atomic test like Build of people High-speed film cameras. We're ready to watch to get blown away. Yeah, exactly. It's the in at Little Washington in Virginia, which is actually a three-Michelin star restaurant. So should we take a road trip separately and go check it out? God, have you ever eaten a three-Michelin star restaurant? Uh, I may have. I think I know what it's like.
Starting point is 01:21:42 I'm gonna need one star, but that's that's as fancy as I've ever been. How was it? One of the best meals of my life. Incredible. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, and probably the most expensive ever. It was in Italy. It's weird that the tire people invented that system. To get you to take a road trip.
Starting point is 01:22:00 I get it, but it's been decontextualized now so far that it's like, wait, this is the tire people? Like this is such a nice fucking place. It's based on the tire company. I had to liberally stayed in a cheaper hotel because I knew I was going to have the meal. Did you have to have like reservations a year in advance or something? Usually yes, but it was in like a small town in Italy where my family is from. So like my name carries some weight there, like the family name. So they like made because it's the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:22:37 It's a family. It was a family entrance to the restaurant. That makes sense. Yeah, I went for it. I went for it. I went for it. Yeah, my name to one. I went to one. Several years ago for my fifth anniversary. It was in Chicago.
Starting point is 01:22:50 I had to look it up to verify that it was indeed. And it was three. It's very intimidating. Yeah. What? So what does that mean? Like one, so a place gets a Michelin star. How do they get three of them? I think there's, there's three different. If they get a star, it's like you,
Starting point is 01:23:08 most restaurants don't get a star. Then you can get either if you do get one or you can get two or you can get three. It's like the one is the lowest and the three is the highest. But even a place having one is impressive. Right. Yeah. Because they're, they're not common at all. Wow. Okay. And tap three, damn. There's just a lot of interesting, well, the one I went to is like interesting procedure where it lets you know that you're in a place that you wouldn't eat at more than once a year or something.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Like the way they did the wine, and they would roll a bit of wine around in the glass and heat the neck of it on a candle and all this stuff. And I was like, I am not fancy enough to be a benefit from any of this extra stuff. When I went to the one that I went to, they had a jacket and tie requirement and I didn't own a jacket or tie. So I had to go to like, I think I went to like Marshalls and bought like the cheapest jacket and tie I could. When there's a restaurant that has a jacket and tie policy, what's the policy for women?
Starting point is 01:24:10 It's an entire policy I think. It's like, it's like, like dinner and tie or like an evening dress attire. Yeah. Okay. Cause I'm like, does it, does it like you have to be wearing a skirt or a dress of some sort or like could you still be wearing pants
Starting point is 01:24:23 but the coup d'état pants probably not jeans. Probably not. Yeah, I imagine like no open to shoe or jeans or stuff like that cargo pants. Well, I was there are 137 three Michelin star restaurants in the world. Wow. In the United States or world in the world. Wow. The rich country has the most.
Starting point is 01:24:43 I'm going to guess the world. Wow. The rich country has the most. I'm gonna guess the UA. Oh, good. Or were the Burj Khalifa as I'm trying to. I would guess somewhere in the UK. They don't do it in every country is the other thing to remember. Ah. But the, there is a tie for number for first place.
Starting point is 01:25:04 The top two countries are Japan and France. That tracks. Yeah. France is going to be my second guess. Yeah, each of them has 29. Wow. Yes, crazy. I can't wait till we're able to travel again and things are a bit safer.
Starting point is 01:25:20 And I could go to France and eat it all 29. Very far from the restaurant. How expensive that would be. a bit safer and I could go to France and eat it all 29. Very sorry, Michelle and restaurants. How expensive that would be. How many people do you think have tried to pitch that show? Just like it's just me and my friends and we're traveling on the world to all the Michelin star restaurants as fast as we can. Yeah, you also have to book us in five star hotels. I wonder how much that would cost to eat at all 29 French Michelin star restaurants
Starting point is 01:25:48 or three Michelin star restaurants. Thousands upon thousands. Maybe six figures probably. It's good, most likely yes. Yeah. No, how much are we talking for a one meal a person? Now it would be six figures. Let's say 29 meals.
Starting point is 01:26:03 So let's say 29 meals. So let's say 29 meals. Let's say it's 300 bucks a person. And then you got to take into account that you could have some wine that would easily. Let's keep them same 500 bucks, 500 bucks a person. So like 15 grand. For 29 like for a month's worth of dinners. 20 20 Anything Shit out You can eat a big Mac and then wipe your ass with $400.
Starting point is 01:26:45 How about that? You could, let's say, we do a show. It's called Three Stars. So you stay at three star hotels, but you go to three star Michelin restaurants. So you're saving money on the hotel portion and spending more money on the food. It's genius. Perfect. It's a pretty low budget for a show 15 grand
Starting point is 01:27:08 Yeah, but it wants to watch that it wants to watch someone having a really good time when nothing bad happens No, that happens ever everyone after quarantine Every cooking show diners driving some dives. You're just watching fucking guy fear You got a town yeah, it was sure like it it make sense if it was going Ramsey doing all that. If it was us doing it, no one wants to watch us out. It was a really good time. It would just be like 29 mil. It was good.
Starting point is 01:27:36 They didn't have a cheeseburger on the matrix. I have to order the pate. No, that's that's that's not. Make it happen. We're gonna 2021. I feel like the appeal of Guy Fieri is he could always maybe have a heart attack. Like you're always watching it with like this is mentioned at disbelief in the back of your mind. Us might be the what like those Diablo nachos might kill.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Yeah, every time the credits roll, you're like, oh, you got. Maybe next week, guy, we want you guy fear eat is oddly entertaining and satisfying. And I don't know if it's like he's just such a good food actor that like he makes everything look like literally the best food you've ever had in your life. We're just like, oh, oh, that's great. And the sauce and the word it got there.
Starting point is 01:28:22 Some wall, wall, wall, wall. And just like, I want to eat. You're eating. Yeah, that's the thing, right? It's like the food that he shows is relatable. Like you can imagine it. You think about like, oh, well, I've had this and I've had that. And I can imagine what that's like. It's just about, you know, conveying that.
Starting point is 01:28:36 Well, I offer to convey that so well at every three star Michelin restaurant. You guys send me to. I will absolutely tell you exactly what it's like. What if we do we send you to 30 restaurants one of them isn't a three Michelin star and you have to determine which one. Sure absolutely I will. If you do not guess correctly you have to pick up the tab. Yeah. One and you're like this one's good but it's not as good as the other nine three Michelin stars. I'm gonna guess that this Yeah, I really want. And you're like, this one's good,
Starting point is 01:29:05 but it's not as good as the other nine, three Michelin stars. I want to guess that this one is faking it. Then you have to pay for all of the meals. Well, would it be, would it be that it's not a three-star Michelin restaurant, but it could be a two-star or a one-star? You won't know. I mean, I've been to some really nice restaurants
Starting point is 01:29:23 that don't have Michelin stars. I'm not TGI Fridays. I wonder if this can be. All right. Well, we're almost at time. We'll have a couple more minutes before we have to wrap up. I've been looking on a big DIY kick here lately. I said you that cyberdeck thing a couple of days ago. I loved it.
Starting point is 01:29:47 Yeah. But I saw a DIY that someone posted where they made, and they posted the instructions how you could do this yourself. They made a rotary dial cell phone. So if you wanted a cell phone that was not a smartphone at all, no screen, no nothing, it's just like a rotary dial within a tan on it. You can't text, can't do anything, all you can do is make a receipt phone call on it. Which I think it's super cool idea.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Obviously, not very practical day to day, but still cool nonetheless. I'm gonna send you guys a photo of it. Please do, yeah. You say DIY in my brain instantly goes to Animal Crossing. It's, I'm- Yeah, me too. Taken over. I select you guys an image of what it looks like.
Starting point is 01:30:38 Let's check this bad boy out. As it loads. Oh my God. Oh wow! I'm about that. Will it fit my pocket? Yeah, I believe so. Oh 100%. That's pretty neat. You just have enough like whatever you whoever's number you can remember and that's it. Maybe you can get like a little print out like a little label on the back with your favorites. Can you text on it? No. Oh, there it is. And what's the point? What's the SB dial-up buttons? I don't remember off the top of my head. It's the dial-up. Maybe you can text only with those less. SBD&M. Do you want 40 chicken nuggets? It's the best. But only with those lists.
Starting point is 01:31:26 That's BDNM. Do you want 40 chicken nuggets? Da. Da. Da. And that'd be, that'd be a lot more simple. If I could just text people yes or no answers to things, that would make my sense. You should institute.
Starting point is 01:31:39 You should institute a rule. You're only answering via text yes or no questions from now on. Oh, just save everybody so much. What do you want? What do you want for dinner tonight? Yes. Yes. Yes. I do want dinner. Before we end, I invented a new thing along the same lines as, you know, the cold mailbox and other ingenious things.
Starting point is 01:31:59 Okay. Bags with delivery handles. Oh, trip to the right when someone, when someone delivers your shit, there's a handle for them and a different set of handles for you. So you don't have to touch the where their grubby mitts were in a pandemic. What if their handles are reusable and they're like cloths that grab onto the bag? And then they put the bag down with them.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Right. You detach it and they take it with them and put it on bag. And then they put the bag down. They take them with them, right, you detach it and they take it with them and put it on the next one. Oh, that's smart. I like that. That's it. Honestly, I was prepared for the worst, as I usually am, when Gavin comes to the table with an idea.
Starting point is 01:32:37 But this is actually good one. Why? Why are you prepared for the worst? What did you do? Did you recommend last week? It wasn't the cold mailbox, it was something else. It was like another, Oh, it was the sanitizing doorbell.
Starting point is 01:32:51 It's self-cleaning doorbell. Yep, it was a good one. Everything along with that. Everything a lot about new products. Two things. I tweeted the other name about a coat rack for masks, like a little mask management system can keep by your door.
Starting point is 01:33:05 It's like what kinds of like new niche products will you see pop up because of all of this? I'm so Freddie Wong, we'll be tweeter. Yeah. It's real funny. I don't know, but I feel like there's going to be a lot of really long lasting changes that happen from this whole situation. Like new new fashion is going to come in new ways of doing just everyday things. I think like the whole shopping for stuff online, like groceries and getting food delivered and stuff, then that whole process is going to change for a lot of people like kind of permanently. Like I've been doing Instacart for years at this point, but I feel like a lot of people are
Starting point is 01:33:44 getting into that whole, like, getting your groceries ordered online and delivered, like, my parents are doing that now too, and they've never done it before. So it's interesting to see people who've never dabbled in that kind of thing. Try it out now for the first time, and I feel like a lot of people aren't going to go back.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean, we're going to find out for sure for when you're on the next few months. I also... I wouldn't be surprised if there are shops where, or like supermarkets, where you have to be a shopper to go in. I feel like a club. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Yeah, yeah. Of course, you have to be, you have to work, you have to be like employed as a shopper, you can't just stroll in as a public. Yeah, like I'm sure that's totally viable. Another thing that I was gonna bring up too is I got this email from Uber yesterday. I don't know if you guys got it too,
Starting point is 01:34:24 but they're putting in certain policies in place. Like every rider and driver has to be wearing a mask and there's actually a face cover check. So the driver has to essentially take a photo with the app with their face cover on and you'll get a notification on your phone if you're the rider that those person has passed that verification.
Starting point is 01:34:44 And I'm like, wow, that's like new technology being implemented into things too. Like, wow, that's insane. All right, well, that about wraps it up. Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll see you guys again next week. Hope you had a good holiday. Bye. the Do you like apples? Alright, example.
