And how like he's at the age now or he's just learning to walk and we discovered that Gus was late to walking because he was too fat as a baby. It was really, really super fat. I needed to get physical therapy because I was too fat to be able to walk like my little baby legs couldn't support my weight. Like I think I was like I wasn't super.

I mean, I was kind of big when I was born. I think I was like 10 pounds when I was born. But yeah, I was super fat and physical therapy. And the way that I ended up walking was since I couldn't support my own weight. My mother had to buy a giant balloon. And I would use it almost like a cane like I would I would set it up And then like use it to prop myself up and stand And then I would like hobble along with it so that way I could walk and then eventually I guess I was I lost enough weight from

I work out routine to be able to start walking but I was I was a really late walker. What were you fat from? milk from milk. Yeah, like, all babies just drink a shitload of milk. I think I drank way too much. I like way more than just lie motionless and but only the only thing I would do is like reach my arm out more milk. Yeah, you know how like a lot of babies like wiggle around and like do a bunch of movements while they're like on the ground. Gus probably just laid there. Just like there.

I can't wait for video games to be invented so I can play them. Uh, so many got invented. This is my, my mother tells this awful story about me that, uh, you know, I'm super, super old. So when I was a baby, uh, I got fed with glass bottles. And, uh, she said that I thought it was hilarious that after I was done drinking my bottles, I would throw them out of the crib and they would sometimes shatter on the floor. So she would come in and check on me

on the middle of the night, she'd cut her feet up because I would throw in glass bottles and I would see it and I would start laughing in the crib. Little didn't she know you were going, another! Another, yeah. According to the internet, the average weight for a baby is seven and a half pounds. Yeah, it was about 10

So you were 10. Yeah, I guess that's on the high end of normal. Yeah, so I was a I was also born late I was a I missed my own birth date Extra cooked. Yeah, I was I was extra plump when I came out He was very well done for a baby. Yes. Yeah, but I'm not sure I'm not the only one. Yeah, she told me I should feel bad. But good. Yeah, whatever. In the end, she got like me. I'm like the most awesome person in the world. How long does it look for her? How far does it go? You walk just fine. You can walk all by yourself.

Yeah, you walk so well. Yeah, I don't want to brag, but I did a lot of walking. I've walked a bit. Even today. I feel like you drive more, but I do walk. I do drive. I've been on to walk.

I've been on a drive. Man, what is the deal with people running stop signs and red lights and then flipping me off. Like I don't get it. So your tweet, I saw that. Yeah, I was driving through a parking lot the other day and I was going to go to the exit and it was straight and the intersecting lane had a stop sign. So I'm going straight, a woman stopped at the stop sign.

I kept going, I assume I guess she thought I had a stop sign as well. She nearly hit me so I slam on my brakes. I don't honk at her anything. I just slam on my brakes to avoid hitting her. She pulls out in front of my car, stops her car, looks at me in the eyes and gives me a double flip off and they keeps driving. I'm like, you're the one who missed your stop sign. Why am I the one getting flipped off?

What makes you think it's anything to do with driving? You're right. She's probably a very unhappy person inside. Unhappy with her life choices. Yeah. It's just, I did nothing wrong. I was just driving. I was just trying to leave a parking lot. And I get, I get a double flip off for going straight.

Dude, I thought the world is just angry these days, man. I think everyone is just like fed up with each other and humanity. We're driving No, Esther was with me. Did you kick off? Did you give her a bit of a show? No, no, I just I was just like what happened? I was just I was just I don't like stop yelling screaming. No, no. Escalate in the situation. No, not at all.

I was very calm about it. I think I would have normally been angry, but I think I was in such shock over having nearly hit someone for absolutely no reason that I was just like, what happened? I didn't know what happened. So people I think are just like, they react out of embarrassment almost if they do something

wrong like that where it's like they know they're at fault but they're just pissed off that you acknowledged it that they wanted them like punish you for it. That happens to me all the time. I got flipped off and honked at one time when someone in front of me and around about stopped, mid-round about to let someone in and I honked at them because you're not supposed to stop and in around about right supposed to just keep going until you get off. And they like honk back at me and like flip me off and they rear view me and I was like okay I can't explain the rules to you around about through my car but go look it up, go google it. You know that round about by the studio like at i35 and 51st. Yeah that's where it was. Yeah, one time I was back, you know,

when we used to go to the studio, I was driving by there and I was driving Westbound on 51st to the roundabout. And someone was the car, no, I take it back. I was driving in the other direction. I was driving to the studio, so I was driving Eastbound on 51st. And as I was driving, you know, on to 51st,

off of the roundabout, I saw there was a car coming in the other direction, Westbound on 51st and as I was driving, you know, on to 51st off of the roundabout, I saw there was a car coming in the other direction westbound on 51st and they tried to turn the left against traffic into the into that roundabout. And like there's not very much traffic in that little section, so they managed to do it, then they got stuck and they tried to back out and they were just stuck there doing like that Austin Powers thing where they're trying to like go forward and backwards to get their way out. Like, oh my god, what a fuck up Gavin aren't you happy you don't drive?

Why would well cuz I get flipped off less? Because you don't have to like I guess you do if you're driving in a car with someone else But you don't have to deal with people like this all the time That's true. I've spent a lot of time in the car with Dan though and he will yell about absolutely nothing, but especially here because every time we interact with that roundabout, it's like nine times out of 10, someone doesn't know what they're doing on it and he will go on like a two and a half minute rant every single time. Although to be fair, that particular roundabout near the studio is a piece of shit that's so

unclear. Some of the directions of like, which lane you gotta be in. Like, one direction. It's pretty clear, I think. There's two lanes in it, though, which I think. And I can see why people get confused, yeah. Yeah, like, there's a part of it where it's like, you gotta be in this lane to get off on this area and like, they're not quite right, the directions. There's something about it that's a little off.

It's just that people going southbound on the 35th and they're the people in the right lane sometimes want to keep going east on 51st, but they can't. Their lane can only go south on to 35th and it's when they keep trying to go. That's what fucks everything up. So you should be in the outside lane if you're about to exit. You're right Gavin. What a great idea. Gavin, oh my god, you should be in the outside lane if you're about to exit. You're right, Gavin. What a great idea. Gavin, oh my God, you should drive.

Are you saying the people aren't doing that? Right. They're in the outside lane, but they want to keep going around and take the next exit. It was like, that's not how around about works. That's not right at all. It's infuriating. It, uh, it, it swizzles me up. So, okay. is it not included in?

Wait for a rate to is it not included in like learning to drive in this country around about I think I learned Anything about roundabouts when I took drivers head. It's pretty irresponsible for that to stop making a pop-up I think I did but it was very It was kind of like they covered it for maybe half a second and then we moved on. So, you know, if I ever learned, it's like good luck everyone. Yeah, I think it's that's so much better than four different traffic lights. It's way better than the light that used to be over there that one that we're bitching about that light sucked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because there's so much time when there's four traffic lights and four directions where Three of the four lights are red and there's no one on the green side and everyone's just sat there with their thumbs

Up their asses. I'm just gonna put your other's asses, but that's not true Gavin you sure have a you have a lot to say for somebody who just doesn't drive. Yeah You're not allowed to voice your opinions on anything if you don't park it. Okay. If that were true, those men working in entertainment will be very different. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. So I saw right before we started the podcast bar where you had a tweet that you fill up the stairs. Yeah. Literally. I don't know if anything sums up 2020 better than following up the stairs. Jessica will be able to relate to this maybe.

But so it's quarantine. I don't, and I promise you this relates to how I fell. In quarantine, when you're lounging about, you're not necessarily on camera, whatever you got to do, you don't really have to wear a bra. And it's more comfortable that way. So I was running up the stairs. I'm curious to see how this tripped you. I'm curious to see where this story's going with you. I was running up the stairs because I wanted to grab my water because I was eating lunch downstairs. But I was running fast. And since I'm not wearing a bra, I had to hold my boobs to keep them from going all over the place.

Oh, wow. Sometimes I just do that when I'm running. And so because I'm not used, I don't know why that made a difference to why I fell, but my sears are carpeted and as I was running and holding my boobs, I just slipped and then fell forward and hit my shin and my chin on the stairs and I felt like the biggest idiot of all time.

No, you really, you really fell, your chin hit the stairs? Yeah, I'm okay. So you just teased your boobs okay though? My boobs are great. Luckily they were protected. If I wasn't holding them, who knows what would have happened. Can you have just let go of one to break the fool, but kept the hold of the other?

You know, Gab, it happened so fast. I'm excited. I could have said that. Good question, though. When you slip on a carpeted stair, it's like instant. You don't have time to react. Yeah.

Yeah, I think even with a high speed camera, you're like, up one minute and then it's like, boom, don't just straight down. There's like no full time. Yeah. But, you know, I don't know if there's any people in chat who've got boobs and, you know, if you're running and you're in a hurry and you just hold them to keep them from going to crazy.

You know what I'm saying? Why were you holding them in the first place? Why are you holding them afraid that they would like become detachable titties at some point? I don't know. I don't know why I'm doing it. What about this as an invention? No, imagine a hoodie, right? A hoodie that's just loose tits all over the place. But if you want to quickly run, you can pull a drawstring on both and it will just suck them in temporarily. Be a support, get a jog on, and then just.

How exactly do you picture the drawstring? Like do you picture the drawstrings like clipping them in this way, like individually, or just like all one like giant in a boob to kind of of it would be like a loose sort of fabric thing that then tightened in. Yeah, it's almost like it has a built in bra and when you pull the draw strings, it's like hooking them in together, right? Like clasping the back of the strap.

You know, I like that idea because sometimes when you're just like lounging about and not wearing a bra, but like if you want to go get the mail or do something, you have to leave your house for whatever reason. You don't feel like this is true. Putting on a whole bra. I'm like taking off what you're wearing upon a bra. I like this idea. Let's invent it. I like that. Okay, well, we're gonna call it the bro.

It's only in ho, do you see? Think. You got to apply for like a utility patent that way, you can use it, you can patent it across all kinds of clothes. It would have to be in some sort of comfortable loungewear, otherwise there'd be no point to it. Yeah, let me think Jessica, why should we call this? First thing I can't know, I was like booby-brace, BB, but that's bad. I don't know. This is such a genius idea. It's going to take some time to think on. Yeah. That's why I thought.

That's what I was thinking too. Genius. Genius. Almost as genius as our idea we had before the podcast started. I was asking Gavin how he's feeling since we just had extra life this weekend and if you guys missed it He got absolutely decimated by pain balls Well, we were trying to make it because we realized the paintball guns were obscene even the lesser power Just I could feel the impact shooting him and I could see him hit in Michael

It was like instant and he was in a lot of pain So we started trying to aim mainly for the helmet because that doesn't hurt as much as, you know, a t-shirt with skin underneath. And also the crotch, the cock blocker pad thing is though, you get a lot of hits sort of around the shoulders and around the area around the pad. So my lap took an absolute, I've got a purple lap right now. And I would call it my thighs, but it's, you know, we've been at home for eight months and it is most, it's a lap most of the time. Yeah. So I realized when I'm doing a cheeky poo, I've got nowhere to lean anymore, because it hurts so much. And I realized that I'm always like

like, where do you put your arms when you when you're doing a number two? I have never once thought about where I put my arms while I poop until you measure that. Because I was like, yeah, I guess you don't just like dang on my side. Like a freaking. Yeah, I'm like hanging them down talking to poor plunger and stuff. I'm just holding my boobs the whole time. I'm just holding my boobs the whole time. Why? But it came up that we should invent something where it's armrests for your toilet. So you have a place to put your arms while you take a shit.

And it's not your lamp. But I feel like I have to go sit on my toilet and figure out like how. What is my whole back? It could be like these desk chairs where you can have the arms down or you can put the arms up if you don't want them. Yeah, I think it's genius. I think we got a million dollar idea right here. All right, everyone be quiet, Jessica's pulling right now. Okay. Just, just, just make it so you're in the zone, usually that person will listen to us.

Okay, yeah, so like, you know, like a sit. Looks like your hands are... Okay. So where were you off? Yeah, I think it was kind of like in my lap. Yeah. You ready? So I can't do that. And I can't have a lot of cat cuddles because that's what they like to sit. It's very uncomfortable in general.

Yeah, do they thing where they like walk across you with their like, I don't know why cats feel so heavy when they walk across you with one pod at a time. It's like, why do you weigh 50 pounds all of a sudden? We're getting a lot of suggestions for hoodie names in chat. I saw Hooby, which was great. The Hooby I think is the best one so far. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's not bad. How do you booby? Good one. I saw a so far. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's not bad.

How do you booby? Good one. I saw a couple of bar bras, which of course. Well, that's good. Yeah. But, you know, I feel like Gavin should take credit for it. So we got to name it after. I don't need it.

I don't know. We don't need it. I thought you had it. I thought you had it. Yeah, I'm what you had in that shirt. What you got, boy? show me those hoobies. I fell up the stairs once when I was in middle school. I was, it was like between classes and I was trying, I had one class downstairs and my

next one was upstairs and I was running up the stairs with my backpack and all my books and everything. And I did that thing where it's like my right foot didn't quite clear the step and like my toe hit it and then push forward. And then so like I fell, but it was like the third step from the top. So like I fell, but then I had enough momentum that I landed up on the floor in the hallway. And I just like, it's all split out like in the middle between classes. And like I felt like hundreds of people standing around watching me, everyone watching me make this big loud sound and I'm spayed out on the floor. And the only thing I say is on the bright side, I wasn't popular to begin with so it didn't really matter that incredibly embarrassing happened to me.

So I was like, oh well, not a big deal. Didn't really hurt myself. So I just collect my shit and go to class. Oh man. You bring up a funny story. When I was in college, I went to Texas State and there's these giant steps that lead up to the library. And I remember I was walking down them one day, but I tripped down.

And it was one of those downwards where like your butt just like slides down. It's like, you know, and everybody saw us. This is in the co-odd area. So they saw me fall. And I mean, like the sun was shining onto me. It was like, you know, kind of like the sun was setting, but it was like only on the stairs, you know, and nowhere else.

So like it was like spotlight on me. As to why you fell, are you saying you are very well lit as you fell? I was very well lit as I fell. Very cinematic fall. Yeah, so and so this girl comes over and helps me and she's like, are you okay? And I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. And she's like, just so you know, there's a face, there's a Facebook group for people that fall down the stairs here and you should join it.

Were they being, were they being serious? Or they found it. Did you join the Facebook group? I did because it made me feel less alone. But yeah. You all give each other support. Like anytime someone you join to the group, you're like, they're there. We understand.

We know what that's like. We have a support meeting ever to follow them. Just people that are falling down the stairs there. There's quite a few people in that group. So, you know, it's a common, a common thing that happens. Cool stairs are like the most dangerous stairs of all time. Some of them don't even have like, because they're just like that slick, what material is it? It's like not stone. It's like a cement or concrete that's just like no texture on it, just real slick. Yeah, although living in Canada made it easier since they had to take precautions on stuff

like that. So there was like these little like rubber grips on all the stairs at the edges, because you know, people have wet boots from walking outside and the winter snow. What's the coldest temperature you experienced in Canada? There was a week when I was living in Montreal, I think it was like a negative 30, negative 35 Celsius during that week with a windshield. I don't know what it was without it,

but it was like, Hey, we don't recommend you leave your house if you don't have to. The stuff even function, like I've experienced here, my phone will stop working outside because it gets too hot if I put it down in the sun. Like what would a phone stop working from the cold at that temperature? I don't know. I imagine it wouldn't be great. I think the problem you would have is if you're

wearing gloves, then you're like the touch screen on your phone doesn't work so well Yeah, you can wear those like capacitive Tipped gloves. Yeah, there's a yeah that now you gloves like that technology you combine that with the drawstring And I don't know what it is But if you ever wear fingerless gloves or I had mittens that had like the top come off So like you're just fingers would be exposed I don't know what it is, but if the tips of your fingers are exposed in the cold,

the rest of you is freezing. And if you cover those up, you feel so much better. I don't know what that is. But yeah, if anybody, you're in a mess. For me, it's my head. Yeah, that's where your head is. My head is just, yeah, then I'm just cold. But if it's covered and warm, I'm so warm right now.

I'm a backwards fat guy. It was super cold this morning. It was. It felt so nice. Minus the E5 Celsius. It was not. The I went to Edmonton once to work on a commercial for Mass Effect 2. And you know, when you, you know, remember when you used to fly on planes and when you land,

the pilot tells you the, the, the weather conditions at the city you're landing in When I landed in Edmonton it was negative 40 That's our fair and healthiest meat They meet yeah, he was like like it was a normal thing like Welcome to Edmonton the temperature outside is negative 40 degrees So it's no one gonna comment on that negative 40 degrees. So like, is no one gonna comment on that? Everyone's on the line.

Everyone's on the line. Like, that was the warmest it was gonna be that day. The sun was still out and it was negative 40. Geez. The thing is, is like, look up at the sun and be like, why aren't you working? What's the thing?

They just like hit it like, come on, turn on, come on. I feel like though, when your pass is a certain point, and if there's people in the chat who are also from cold climates, it gets to a certain point when you're past a certain negative temperature that like negative 20 to negative 35, like you don't really feel that difference. It's just like, it's just numbingly cold. And like I guess I can't really speak for cold with a negative 40 because that just seems

like deadly and just awful. But I guess it's the same way where like in Texas, if it's like 105 versus 115, like it's just fucking hot. Yeah. I think you can't do a difference with hot day. We were working real fast before you get to that. We were working on that commercial. And I remember, I forget why.

We needed like a DVI adapter or something in order to like get the footage to appear on the monitor. And I like looked it up on Google. It's like, there's a store that's three blocks away that sells the DVI adapter. Oh. Am I going to walk there? Or am I going to get there? Like, it was like, I had to sit there and think about it for like 10 minutes.

Like, what's the best way to do this? Am I gonna walk or am I gonna like, you have to call a taxi? It was before Uber. It was like to get out there. What'd you do with it? Yeah. I found out that Edmonton has underground tunnels that you can, you can walk below the city street.

So you don't have to go outside and get cold. Yeah. So why are they warmer just because there's no wind? I guess there's no wind plus. Oh, it's contained. It's contained. There's no, all the heat can see trapped in there. All right.

Yeah. So what were you saying? I guess when you're hot, you can't tell the difference. Is that what you were trying to argue? Well, I mean, I guess I've just never experienced two different hot temperatures that felt the same. Like it will regularly go to like 44 degrees Celsius here like in the height of summer.

But I've also been in like 47, and that felt significantly hotter. That was when I was in India. I was like, I've never experienced this kind of heat. And it's really just like three degrees hotter, but it did feel like way hotter. Is it maybe like a humidity thing at that point? That's probably also a factor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It just felt like they just felt painful. Yeah. Honestly, like if you go either direction, the cold at that level is just it's painful

But also numbing where you're just like I can't feel anything your bones and like the inside of your body gets cold too So you could go inside to warm up and you're like I'm still I'm gonna be cold for the rest of the week It's just like it's my body You forget what heat is like yeah, I'll you know is the cold Death what you're gonna on you absolute zero what's the death? What are you doing up on you? Absolute zero. What's the temperature? Negative. Fuck, I don't know.

Jessica, what's the coolest? A lot closer to absolute zero than we do to, well, I guess there's no absolute hotness. Absolute heat. In fact, yeah, absolute hotness is Jessica Versami. Who? Oh my God. Oh, I can't take this attention.

I'm down with that. What's that? What's the coldest you've been in, Jess? I was actually thinking about this. I don't think I've been below zero. Really? But one day I hope to experience that. Just feel it.

I'm always zero. In Celsius for Fahrenheit. You know, one day I hope to experience that just to feel it. In Celsius for Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit, I don't know Celsius. I got to know zero. Zero Fahrenheit is what, like negative 10? Or something? Let me look it up.

I'm stuck trying to find out what absolute zero is. Okay, negative 273 Celsius or negative 459 Fahrenheit. Yeah, it's weird that we are closer to... Negative seven feet. Is that right? We're closer to absolute zero than if I preheat the oven. I guess I didn't put the oven that hot. But it's like, you're wrong.

You're wrong. Yeah, I don't know. I got that. I was in like a fire is like thousands of degrees. Right. When fire can get much harder than cold can get cold. Yeah. That's what you're trying to say. Yeah.

But then there's a separate stuff that's weird to the fire. Yeah. We're just very close to the cold end is what I'm saying. On the graph, the average temperature of the universe is negative 270 degrees Celsius or negative 454 Fahrenheit. Okay, because I was just about to ask, like, well, out there and the fucking universe, like, yeah, what is the degrees out there? Because it's cold as shit.

Almost absolute zero. So negative, yeah, negative negative oven Why isn't the vacuum of space? Negative zero negative no absolute zero. It's it's the average temperature of the universe that factors in everything Oh like sons and stuff right. That's a lot of empty space This episode of the RCTeed Podcast is brought to you by Full Sail University. Look at it just outside of Orlando, Florida,

Why are we going to Mars, by the way? What are we doing? We need a backup plan. You don't keep all your data in one place. We got all our shit on there. But if we lose it, we're just going to...

Which is true. What are we transferring to Mars? It's just a backup. Because Mars is like moving to a new office that's smaller. We're going to fill that one up even faster than this one. Yeah, but that's also like if the office was really difficult to get to though, and people didn't want to work there, they prefer working at the original office. Sounds like we're shooting.

There's also like at the new office, the snacks suck, they don't get water. They don't get water. You can't just go out without your entire goddamn space suit on. Right, it's like the new office sucks. It's got a lot of cool technology, but that technology is just there to keep you alive. I honestly, I think we should, we should skip and go somewhere bigger. I want to go to Mars. I want to meet that planet.

That's like earth. What do you say? What's the name of that planet that's like earth? It what is it called Mars? No, no, it's in another galaxy. No, it's like earth. None of those are like earth. I'm gonna ask you what we got. It's planet. Oh, it's planet. That is something planet are no, you guys know it. Kepler 452 B. That's it. That's good. What is the name of the planet that is like earth and it came back with that? See, she was right. Yes, it exists. Yes.

Are you saying that's not in the Milky Way? I don't think I don't know if it's in the Milky Way. Why am I saying why am I skipping the Milky Way? We've got so much here in the Milky Way. We need to be going at the end. But no, but yeah, just like Barb was saying, if we're going to go to Mars and some shit, yeah, we have to go out with our spacesuits on. Like, we're not going to survive out there.

We can't. We've, it took us 40 years to get something out of the solar system. I don't know. Here's the problem. The, a year in K Kepler 452B is 385 days. I can't deal with that. It's going to throw up. It's going to throw up slightly. Yeah. Wow. Wow.

It's like really close, but just slightly off, it's going to be a whole thing. There's going to be another month we have to learn. Kepler area. It's going to be like really short, like February, and it's going to be like, oh my god. You only have that month on that planet. It's not worth it. Okay. Well, although, okay, let's do it.

We'll go with you. But where is it though? Can someone tell me? Is that it was it? It's in, I think it's in the Milky Way. It's in the constellation. It looks like we're all in a simulation. We're in the matrix.

Nothing exists. God is dead. Earth is flat. Oh. Oh, I'm just kidding. She's saying something. This is an heavy saying. I'm like, you're so late.

Listening to Rogan, all of us. That's not right. Oh. Eric, which planet should we go to? I think that I think you guys should go to the Kepler one because I'm just thinking about age wise, you probably gain a couple of years, right? Oh, the theory of relativity.

Like you would be younger is my math right? So it's like we'd be like dogs on this planet. Yes. Like if someone's like, oh, she's 30 in human years, but 87 and what is it Kepler? Kepler, you're the younger you bepler? Kepler, you're young. Kevin, you've seen Interstellar. I'll be younger. That was about black hole, Jessica. That was my support. No, it wasn't just about a black hole. They also covered the theory of

relativity. And I'm sure you went down the science hole after you watching our stellar. I guess you just didn't absorb any of this information. Going down the science hole sounds like a really nerdy way to have sex I would say if I had to sum it up in one word I would say interstellar is about black hole Sure sure sure sure Was it a word is black hole one word? Good question. It's about whole. It's about one very big hole. Big fat time hole. Speaking of things that are big and fat. I like

I had like four raccoons in my backyard last night. What? God. I don't even try to show what's going on. I don't know if they were fighting or if they were fucking or if they were doing both, but they were really loud and they tore up almost my entire yard. I don't know, I don't know, I have no idea what to do. Oh God.

Like, like, I woke up at first, I guess, I didn't wake up. I heard them around 12, 30 or so. I could hear what going like, and then the other ones were screaming at each other. I was like, what is going on in my backyard? Wanda. You got Mario in that backyard. And they just like, when I went out to walk my dogs this morning, it's like my entire yard looks like someone dug up the top three inches of it. It's like the entire yard is just missing the top. Like all the

grass is gone. It's just turned up dirt now. Do you get raccoons often? Is this an often thing for you? Oh yeah, this fucking raccoons are always around here. Sometimes they disappear for a while. It's been a couple of weeks since I've seen them, but they're back. This is the most raccoons I've ever seen at one time in my yard. There were four of those fat fucks out and they were really fat. Should you probably you should make a short film about this animal control just record them. Yeah, get your fucks piss. Yeah, I guess I should I still have some of that. You should probably call animal control. What are you gonna do? Like camping is back god night. I don't know. Yeah, I'll put something now like put some type of... What are you gonna do? Camping is back. God night. I Don't know

I assume they're gonna tell me to fuck off that the raccoons were here first Yeah, I mean not those specific raccoons, but generally what do you what do you leave in your backyard? Do you have like plants or food or anything like that that would attract them nothing? Just my yard. That's it. I mean, there's nothing out there. I have your backyard, do you have like plants or food or anything like that that would attract them? Nothing. Just my yard. That's it. I mean, there's nothing out there. I have my compost bin, my compost trash bin, but it's closed and they never fuck with it.

Like they never try to open it or anything. Oh, with what animals? What animals do you recognize? They got to my griefs. Gus. I don't think they do. They don't need anything. Because I was going to say you could just get, you could just like get their pee and then Hey, Gus, I don't think they do. They don't need anything.

Cause I was gonna say you could just get you could just like get their pee and then somehow, you know, just put it all over your backyard. So they wouldn't come. They'd smell the pee and they would hate that. I think that was that was the rationale behind the fuck. I used Fox year in for a while. And I guess they went away. Maybe I need to buy some more and spray it out there. But man, what a fucking annoying ass problem. Rekoon, I saw a video on YouTube the other day of a guy who was like covered in raccoons. Did anybody else see this video?

Has a couple million views. Like some guy feeding like 25 raccoons on his front porch. Like he opens the door and you can just see them everywhere. Like they're expecting him to go out there and he goes out there and sits down with them and starts feeding them. And he is literally just covered in raccoons

It's the wild ones. Yeah, yeah, they go Play fleas in that and rape you all this time. This dude apparently was happy to see them. They were happy to see him I just happy to see him that a party out on his fucking patio. I guess they're friends. Maybe that's what you need to do guys Maybe you need to befriend them instead of trying to fight that might be the way Use your animal handling skills. Yeah, you're snow white remember reverse no white Said is there only have a ps5? No, this would be like the first PlayStation. I'm since the ps1 that I'm not gonna have around launch time Yeah, we just haven't been able to yeah, we haven't been able to find a little I've never

Paying attention with those tiny windows open up. Yeah, I have some Trevor's been like setting alerts on his phone for one of those things I did too. I had so many alerts and I kept trying and I just couldn't get it to happen Although, but they always do like mid-generation Overhors, don't they maybe I just wait? How when would that come out now? Yeah, I mean I've got plenty of stuff to play on new Xbox now although I really can't I'll be honest. I can't get into watch dogs Legion. I thought it was pretty good. I'm still playing it

But it doesn't it doesn't run well. It's it's like 30 FPS. What are you on about it runs grand online? It's like it's like they've gone all in on ray tracing But compared to all the other games that are you know optimized for series X that it runs it like I'm swear it's like 30 FPS it doesn't look like anywhere near 60 on mine. Really? And the fact that you're saying yours at 60 is, I don't know what you're doing. Maybe you're interpolating.

No, you're interpolating. But I would rather have, at this point, I'd rather have 60 frames than ray tracing. It's ray tracing really that much better than when I'm reading here is that it runs at 30. Aha. So there you like it runs at 4k 30. Jessica, how much do you interpolate? First off, I just really enjoy that word in general. I like when you guys say it. so that's all I really know about that. I mean, I'm in the same boat. It's a fun word to say.

Yeah, that's what's up. Interpolate, turp, turp. Jessica, why do you feel it's unratracing? I don't know what that means, Gavin. It's okay. I mean, I didn't either until a year ago. You know, I'm like a third level ray tracer. Um, then. Whoa.

Oh, I sent Gavin a YouTube video a few days ago that, uh, what is it? I sent it to him like on Saturday, I think, uh, it's, it's crazy. I guess it's like an architect who watched the movie parasite, uh, made a miniature model of the house from that movie. Like, the video just starts out with him making a sketch of it.

And you're like, oh, that's pretty cool. But then he actually constructs the house. Like, when I say he makes a model of it, like, he pours a foundation for it. Like, does he make the basement? He doesn't make the base, he does not make the basement. He only makes the, the first and second floor of the house. He's like, cementing the stairs and stuff. Right. It's, it's crazy to watch.

And he's like, laying down a little bit to tile. And he's like, he's grouting the tile and wiping it all off. Like, I have no idea how you would do that. Like, I don't even know what I would buy to try to do that. Like, I feel like I want to try to recreate that video just to show what a shitty job I would end up with. Like, how shitty that would look.

What are you just trying to replicate it exactly? I should. It's like a 25 minute long video that I felt like it flew by. It was so fascinating to watch. It was like plucking at my ASMR strings a little bit. Yeah. He doesn't talk, whoever makes it, doesn't talk at all either.

It's just like footage of his hands working. Like he'll do, like he needed to make support column. So you see him like, make one and then like, pop up up up like the next couple, just all like magically appear. Then it's like him installing them. There's a, a TikToker I love. I'm gonna have to look him up, but he's a chef,

but he does all of his cooking outside with like natural tools and stuff. Like he has knives and whatnot, but it's no talking. It's just essentially the sounds of him like cutting the food, cooking the food, putting it together and everything like he has knives and whatnot. But it's no talking, it's just essentially the sounds of him like cutting the food, cooking the food, putting it together and everything like that. I wanna say it's like man with knife is the name of it, but Gavin, I think you're right.

And Sam is a great. Would get triggered in a great way from it. It's amazing. Gavin, do you like ASMR? You don't like ASMR. I did, but I've sort of used it all up. It doesn't work for me great anymore. It's like a, you finished it.

Man with pot with diminishing returns. Man with pot? Man with pot on TikTok. I'm sure you could find his videos on YouTube if you don't have TikTok or anything like that. But about you, Jessica. I don't know. Sometimes I listen to it and then other times it's just like, I feel like it just cuts me to my core where I'm like, and I can't listen. I sometimes sometimes I'd listen to it and then other times it's just like

I feel like it just like cuts me to my core where I'm like, and I can't listen to that anymore. So it really depends. Oh, so you want to look up? Sometimes I do. And then other times it works. What's this TikTok user name? Man with pot. Man with pot. It's just so soothing. And also like, it's recipes too for things you could cook, obviously. Do you need a pot for all of them? I don't think with for all of them, but he's cooking them outside. It's like on an actual firebidden or something like that. It's a the worst part though is he makes these delicious looking meals, but you never see him eat them. And that

to me is like, I got to see the satisfaction of someone enjoying the fruits of their labor. So, is it that you want to? Maybe he doesn't eat it because you know, the fact that he would be eating it as a Mars style, like I hate that people chewing in general. I don't mind it. It's not like go to ASMR, like I don't really love food sounds or chewing sounds, but like if it's a cooking video, you want to see someone eat the food personally. That's what I feel like. I want to eat the food. Yeah.

So wait, just you hate hearing people chew or people chew in the mouth, I don't know, you just hate people chewing in general. Well chewing is a part of life in order for people to eat their food and digest it. So eating and them chewing isn't the issue. It's more listening to them. Some people don't know how to chew with their mouths closed. This has actually been an issue between me and my partner, Devon. I was raised with my mom, like she would poke me with the fork at the dinner table if I was not chewing with my mouth closed. And so I don't know if Devon was quite raised that way. So when I first met him, you know, there's just like,

that's interesting. And it's in practical. Stuff flies out. It's like a bad way of chewing. Also, you don't taste as much when your mouth is open. Have anyone ever noticed that? Like when your mouth is just flailing about, you just don't taste all of the food as much. I guess we all need to go grab some food and test it out loudly and very clearly on camera. No, but it really, it really, that is something

that really does cut to my core. And my sister, she has TMJ. And so whenever, like, I'm around her and she's chewing her jaw pops. So first off she's chewing with her mouth open, which I don't know where she got that nasty habit. We were raised by the same mother, but her jaw also pops. And so I just sit there and I just like internalize everything that I'm feeling when she's chewing with her mouth like that. It just, I hate it so much. I'm just pitching you at the dinner table with anyone. Just live it.

Just like you look around, be like, Jessica just eating her food across the table, dead eyeing you like, yeah. It's just, I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I know that. I've also got TMJ, so I do feel a little bit of sympathy for your sister as far as the popping sound. What is that again?

It's like you're a little something? Yeah, it's like your jaw, the like the disc of card, lidge back here where your jaw meets doesn't work right. So sometimes your jaw pops. With me, it's like just about every time I open my mouth. I clench really hard. I have to. I have to massage just part of my jaw because I clench really bad, especially in my sleep.

So this part of my jaw gets like really sore. Like if you massage, I think it's like, where do you feel that little divot in your jaw right here? It's like right around there. If you start rubbing it and it feels sore, it probably means you clench at some point, or just like right here. Like a mouth god at night or something?

Yeah, I used to have one and I lost it and I was too lazy to contact the dentist to get a new one. So I just massage my face. I think you can buy like some over-the-counter ones at drug stores, right? Like you just like heat them up and you kind of mold them to your mouth. Really? I've never been good. I can't store stuff in my mouth very well.

What? Do you normally do that? It's a good thing your straight gathers. Just right. I wouldn't call it blow job storage of a penis. But it's like when if you need mold done and they put in the goo and it all just like goes, it's like up in the roof of your mouth. I'm like, yeah, when it starts to go like back into your throat a little bit too and you're trying to stay calm so you don't like have a panic attack. Yeah, I feel that. Yes, that happens to me every time. Oh God, because one time I was getting fitted for my invisible line and he was doing

something using some weird new machine tool. They're like, can we use this new machine for you? I'm like, I guess so. So they don't know how to use it. They're sticking it in my mouth. And she had the sucker in there. You know, that sucks all your spit, but it wasn't working.

And so I'm just like, okay, there's some saliva collecting in the back there. And then finally, there was so much, I just got super paranoid. And I just like shot up real quick. And he was like, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Next time you feel, if you feel like you're gonna shoot up, like raise your hand because this thing could cut you.

Oh, fine. Let's go to know. Thank you. Like, you should let me know that in advance. Also, I guess I should have told you I have anxiety. Didn't you get in advance anyway that you probably shouldn't jerk the entire body? No, that was that was like for me a survival reaction or something. I was in fight or fight. Yeah, you're choking.

You got up and I was like, oh fuck. I probably wasn't choking. It was more like you said the anxiety of just like, okay, we're just a little sucker thing doing. What is it going to do? Was job? No, I was going out of my mouth right now in general. I've been getting guilt tripped by my dentist because like probably many people I don't know if I feel that comfortable going to a dentist during a global pandemic where the virus is airborne and like people are all up in my mouth and I'm not wearing a mask and stuff like that. And I'm sure like they take proper precautions. I think you like are supposed to gargle something when you get there. I don't know how that helps, but

I obviously like don't feel comfortable going to a dentist and like I could wait if I don't go to an dentist this year. It's not the end of the world. But I get a text from my dentist probably once a week at this point, being like, it's been ex amount of weeks, since your last visit, you should call us and schedule ASAP. And I'm like, it's not like we broke up and you're trying to get a hold of me.

I just don't wanna go to you. So I think I'm gonna switch dentists when I get back because I am a new one at the point. It's definitely like a measured risk, right? Like it's not worth the potential downside to try to Right. I don't mean my yearly teeth cleaning or whatever by you can you can wait a little bit on that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know how to like break up with them in a nice way. Just go stuff. You like, you phone who this? Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

We have a, uh, uh, a special segment we're going to air at the end of tonight's podcast. So if you're watching live, uh, stick around, uh, we have, uh, an interview we did with, uh, Raina Sculptly that we're going to play at the end of the podcast.

So when you think the podcast is over, it's not over. There's a little extra. So just letting people know that right now. Well, I think not so much in interview is just doing the R.T. podcast with Reina. Yeah, she's in Japan though. So the time difference is really extreme so we couldn't have her on the regular podcast

because then she'd be up super early. That was so weird for us to film. Because we filmed it eight or nine o'clock our time and to finish the work day and then like a few hours later to log back on and do a podcast thing. I was like, this feels like really unnatural. It's like the old days when we used to do the podcast at 7 p.m.

Wasn't it 7.30? Oh, yeah, maybe it was 7.30. Oh, awful. Yeah, those were so late. So I was just nothing. Yeah. Oh yeah, we used to go to like dinner, right? Yeah, yeah, we between five and seven years. It just it wasn't enough time to get anything done.

Like it was enough time to go home and do work and come back. I was just like yeah, just waiting for time to pass. Let's be honest, we didn't have a life fact then. Come on. life back then come on. It had nothing to do. It meant to be a podcast. I want to also mention that Ruby volumade is back. Of course, I'm sure everyone who's watching this podcast knows that, but yours truly is finally a character in Ruby. It only took eight volumes. I'm finally in the series.

Do you know that you haven't been cut there? The episode came out. That's why I didn't say anything. What you're You know so too. Yeah, episode two. Wait, who do you play? I mean, you might not be able to. Okay, okay. Yeah. Oh, that's you. Oh, yeah, that's me. That's awesome. Yeah. So it, it, I'm very happy. Everyone should go watch it. Your new favorite, uh, character. I want someone to make fan art of your face on that character's body. We're really upset. Were you really upset whenever you were cut from Bud Fest or was that like, oh, no, no, no, that it all. Okay. Okay. I didn't think you would. Why would I care? It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's awesome.

But yeah, but no, I did I get cut from this. I'm definitely in this. Jessica, you didn't get cut from blood fest. I didn't because I think I was in that very important scene with date Donovan. So that's why I didn't get cut. Dude, which by the way, he sure was. He was the voice of Hercules. Hercules, but he's also in the Aussie.

Yes, he's mainly friends. But he's actually Dean of Jennifer Aniston. So in real life, in real life, he sure did back in the day. Right. I didn't know that. But actually crazy story. I had a huge panic attack the night before we shot that scene. And I had residual heart flatters all day, leading up to that team. But basically that role was actually supposed

to go to a news anchor. I actually forgot her name, but Hurricane, was it Hurricane Harvey? Some hurricane was coming to the coast of Texas and she needed to cover that. I'm pretty sure it was Harvey. And so she had to bail last minute. And they asked me, could you just jump in and do the news anchor? I was like, sure. do the new sinker? I was like sure But at the same time I was like I'm gonna take this day easy because I just came off of a panic attack and everything's awful So the entire time that we were shooting that scene my heart was racing. I swear it was it was like over a hundred beats per minute I was like how am I? Functioning right now, but I will smile and the camera is on. Do you try and know I did it? I did a very good job.

Oh, thanks, but it was brutal. I don't know. I feel like the best performance in the movie goes to Gavin. Just getting... I got cut. Just getting split right in half. No, no, I'm not. I'm sorry.

So I was waiting for it. Did that make that joke last time? You probably did. Spoiler. That was such an iconic scene in that jerk lost that. You probably did. Spoiler. That was such an iconic scene in that movie, Gavin. Iconic. It was. There's been a couple people randomly tweet me.

They're just like, I just stumbled upon this movie blood fest, and I had so much fun watching it. And I'm just like, wow. I sometimes forget that that movie happened. I know. But yeah. So it's such a fun time. And no one can take that away from you.

It's on your IMDB forever. Forever. You got you got credit for it. I think I was it over the weekend. Greg Miller posted a picture of his residuals check from laser team. Yeah, I was like 62 cents or something. Whether it was 62 cents.

Nice. So if you guys want to become an something. I think it was 62 cents. Nice. Wow. So if you guys want to become an actor, it's where the money is. Wow. I don't think I get residuals from laser team 2. Here, a fucking follow up on that. Greg Miller over here making a 62 cents showing it, shoving it into my face. Listen, man, we can't all beat Greg Miller.

Will you in the second one? I guess. Yeah, I had a much bigger role in the second one. Yes. Yeah I had a much bigger role in the second one. Oh did you? Yeah. I was the shovel site. I got a featuring credit in the second one. Oh. Check you out. Wow. Yeah. I have a question for you guys. What this year being completely crazy and different, what is the biggest thing that you guys learned this year? I don't know if you've been asked that yet. I haven't been asked that yet.

I think I've learned. Oh, I know something. I have actually learned something that certain grocery products, their labels will dissolve if you spray them with rubbing alcohol. I never knew that before. I know that now and I can identify this rapper is going to dissolve if I spray alcohol on it. This one's not. Look at that.

Wow. That is profound. If I've heard anything, I have two answers. One is more, I guess, like I've learned a lot technology-wise. Like I didn't know how to use any of these programs or equipment before COVID and like us having to record from home, we are kind of forced into like learning all this technology. So it's made me be like, oh, maybe if I ever wanted to do streaming. I now know how to and I have the equipment to do it. So that's been pretty cool. But I think like in terms of a more what's the word I'm looking for?

Grander, SAPI version. I've like definitely won by took a lot of things for granted beforehand. Especially like traveling, like something is, like as common as we did, like with traveling and going places and just doing conventions or whatnot. You know, I enjoyed it, I always enjoyed it, but it was like, oh, got another convention this weekend.

Like I wish I could just stay home and spend time with Trevor and blah blah blah. And now I'm just like, man, there's so much fun getting to go to all these places and experience different cultures and cities and all that stuff. And I just miss that a lot. So yeah, I do do that.

I feel like big thing I've learned is that nothing is a constant, even if it's been constant your entire life and you're used to it, like anything can change at any point. And a lot of us just aren're used to it. Like anything can change at any point. Mm-hmm. And a lot of us just aren't ready for it. But yeah, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Don't get used to anything.

Well, but you just don't ever make that wish that. I wish I could stay home for an entire year and play video games. Yeah, literally quoting me on a topic, what I said. 2020, we should just, no one should go anyway. We should all just stay at home and play video games. Who knows what it would have saved us from? Like what if like an alternate, alternate reality,

like one of us would have gotten into a terrible car accident during like, all right, yeah. Or age really quickly, near a black hole. No. Well, you Jessica, what if you look? No, no, it's actually you're aging slower near the black hole, Gavin. Yeah, but so that's perspective of everyone that you're working towards on earth. The all of humanity you've aged fair.

Okay. They've all aged. Are you all right? No, you're right. Yeah. Because they're right yeah that is something yeah and his learn now in quarantine he's learned yeah you think that I haven't seen the movie like 16 times I know that there were like 380 days on the planet instead of yeah and you guys went to black holes, but I mean,

I guess we're all right. I like that. Listen, if we're going to make the full circle in the Joe Rogan podcast, let's say we just got to drop, just got to do a bunch of DMT and work out a blog and years are mental constructs that don't really exist. It's an arbitrary system that we've created and are trapped and prisoned within our own mind. Hell yeah, God is dead, earth is flat, we're in a simulation. Nothing's real, nothing matters. And what?

Hello everyone, welcome. We got a little bonus segment of the RISD podcast here. We decided to have a little bonus segment so we could talk with our good friend, Reina Scully. Hello Reina. Hello. Reina. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, honey.

Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Of course, on our end, we've got Cole and Barbara as well. Hold it down the fort. Hello. We're pre-taping this. It's not live.

Sorry, we can't look at chat right now. We're pre-taping this because Rina is, of course, in Japan right now, and there's a big time difference between us. And I think if you were going to join us at the regular time when you're doing the podcast, it would be like 7 or 8 a.m. for you. Oh, yeah. If you guys record it like five or something like that, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry.

I mean, I think it was three hours ago. Yeah. Yeah. No. So what time is it? Oh my God. Why am I being done? It's 10 a.m. there, right?

It's 11 a.m. But it's not your fault because of daylight savings time. So I'm like super confused now. My gosh. It's crazy. I've been I've been getting really into VTubers lately. I've been really into daylight savings. I'm fucking love a man is the best I think I'm gonna get really into David Savings. I'm fucking love a man, it's the best. End quote. No, like we get really into VTubers lately. And I have to like memorize and work out timelines

because they're all over the place. What's the VTuber? Right, right. A VTuber is a YouTuber who is using animations. Like they have a face cam and face capture, and they're essentially an anime YouTuber. Yeah, they're like 3D people. So there's like a real person behind it,

but you only see they're like 3D render of them. So it's basically like Hatsune Miku, but like with a normal person's voice. So what you're saying is I can be young and relevant on the internet forever. That's why I'm gathering 100% yes. Exactly the point. Okay.

Oh, we're so proud of us. One of the groups has a boomer pirate. It's the best. Boomer pirate. What is that? She's a boomer, but she's also a pirate anime girl. So everyone wins. So you're watching all the Japanese Vtuber.

So like hollow live, So everyone wins. So you're watching all the Japanese V-Tubers, so like Hollow Live, Tepa Stoog. Yeah, Hollow Live, and tap in a little bit to Nege Sange, but mostly Hollow Live. Oh my God, you know so much. It's bad, it's bad, y'all.

It's so impressive. I have like alarms. I have like alarms. It's like, okay, I have to go to bed at like six. All right, not six. I have to go to bed at like 10 tonight, so I can be up at 6 a.m. That's actually 5 there time. It's a It's a struggle

I'm learning a lot about coal here Oh I knew coal was like you love all things Japan and I feel like if I ever went to Japan I would want to go with Reina and Cole because they know Obviously Reina being in Japan and Cole no, I'm probably a good time Some person can who doesn't know Like okay, cuz I mean the first time I went I talked to Reina like a week or two before I went I think I actually talked to you. I actually talked to you like months in advance because you helped me plan.

Yeah, yeah, I remember. So like the first time you ever went, I think you went like with your dad or something and you were like fascinated by it. So you're like, okay, the next time I go, I'm gonna plan it out. And that's when we started talking about it. I remember we like planned it for months.

Yeah, I was like, okay, because that's also when you were, you were getting ready to move over there. Yeah, I was like, okay, we're, because that's also when you were, you were getting ready to move over there. Yes, I was still in LA and I was like, kind of traveling all over the place at the time, so it was like perfect. Because I was like, that was just yesterday that you moved.

It does look really, it does look really good. How long has it been? How long have you been living again back in Japan? It's been exactly two years, three days ago. Oh my God! I thought for sure you were going to say a year at most. It really just seems like you just moved. I don't know why it feels so. It feels fast and slow at the same time. It feels both like a hundred years ago and just yesterday at the same time. I guess everything that was two years ago feels like a year ago because of COVID and how like it's just

wider than year away. It either feels like it was one year ago or 20 years ago. That's what it is. We lost time. Yeah, I was telling who was I think it was on the regular podcast on Monday. I was telling someone like, Hey, remember the Witcher series on Netflix? That was this year that that came out. Oh, I loved that where people were marking what the different points in quarantine were. It was like, Oh, yeah, we're still watching the Witcher. Oh, no Tiger Kings out now. Yeah. We're in the election part of the quarantine.

Tiger King. Tiger King. I forgot. You're getting a bit. Oh my God. That's what I was like. I'll spend a couple of weeks watching Tiger King. Then go back to work. You beautiful summer children.

Yeah. What's quarantine been like in Japan for you, Raina? I'm just curious to hear what it's like compared to what we've been going through over here. Do we want to hear this? Is it going to upset us? I know I was going to say, I don't want to upset you guys, but Japan has been fairing very, very well. But I was just talking to Colin Barber before

about how it's super sus because we have very, very few cases, like even nationally, I think we just crossed over the 100,000 line, like maybe a month ago or so. And I know it's a big day. We did it a day. Texas crossed the one million today. I'm sorry. I know it's awful I mean like I'm talking to friends from like L.A. SF New Jersey and they're like uh why don't you just like stop talking But um we had Japan's been doing really well like I there have been absolutely zero cases in my town

And then I found like really tiny and also it's filled with like a thousand old people. So it's a good thing. That's a really good thing I didn't get there. There's like five 100 plus year olds in just my district. Yeah. Wow. So the secret to a long life is to move

exactly where you are. Yeah. And you live forever. I'm the youngest person here. and it makes me feel so good. It's like incredible. It's like living at a retirement home. Yeah. It kind of is because whenever we have like responsibilities during garbage week and I sometimes

help out my elderly neighbors and I'm like, I live in a retirement community. Like that's just what it is. It's so sweet though. I'm sure your husband's like the most popular guy there. Like this young strapping man. Oh my God, of course. Like you know. I can see up alive.

So the one cute thing, so my husband has like a regular job. He's like a salary man here and he goes to work every single day. So. And he used to ride. A salary man is basically a businessman, but it doesn't work. Yeah, it means you work like a nine man here and he goes to work every single day. And he used to ride. A salary man is basically a businessman, but it may work. Yeah, it means you work like a nine to five. Well, it's more like nine to seven. But it sounds like an insult that people in America would like give to someone who has a full

time job when they down to like, oh, look at that salary man over there. That's cute. I love it. That's exactly. Yes, that's kind of what it is. Except, I guess it's like not so much insulting as it is just a verbiage, but he'd ride a bike to get to work every day. And there's like 100 old people, right? So he'll just come by and he'll be like, oh, hi, I'm Maso.

Just like, good morning. And it reminded me so much of that that opening scene and viewed in the beast where It's like Like Yeah, that's like pretty much what happened on daily basis, but now they're bored of him Salary man with his Now they're like oh you're one of us now. Sorry, going back to the quarantine situation. So Japan's very well, however, it's very suspicious because it's virtually impossible

to get tested here. And I have a friend who actually was visiting from LA, but she's a Japanese national. She's like an American green card holder, which is what I am. So I was super curious about how she traveled in order situation was, so I was talking her incessantly. And she got super sick, like 100 plus, 102 plus fever, for a couple days in a row.

And she couldn't get tested because she didn't fall under one of the categories that you need in order to be tested. And you have to have like logical, viable reasoning that you were near somebody that a thousand percent tested positive, which is impossible to know. Like it's not possible. Especially if no one's really getting tested anyways. Right. Like how did that, how does that person know that they were positive? Right.

So, that is extremely suspicious. And even if you go to like a major hospital, they do this on purpose where they start pinging you to, they like make you go to different hospitals and then eventually, you're just via sick, right? So you're tired and you won't go anymore. Exactly. It's almost like they're banking on that without telling you that that's their power. If you were truly sick, you would solve my riddles three.

I feel like that's almost how it works. You're back in March and April when testing was limited, you know, they would only test people who had come in, who could identify, you know, 100% that they had come in contact with someone. Yeah. But nowadays, I forget who I was telling, I was telling, maybe I was telling Barbara the other day that I was driving up a road here in Austin.

And that's what I do, since I can't go anywhere, I just drive around a lot. And I was driving down the road. And there was someone who just had like a folding table set up on the side of the road with what looked like a homemade sign that said, pain-free COVID testing results in 15 minutes. And I was like, how are we at the point now where there's just like, it looks like a family has just put up a folding table. I don't know if it's real though.

I don't know the hospital. I go to my mind, pa, COVID testing. I have a free immediate result down at the local gas station. What do you say at the local gas station? It was an abandoned gas station. They had set up their table. Yeah, it's what do you say at the local gas station? It was an abandoned gas station. They had set up their table. No, that's that's significantly worse somehow. Oh, wow.

Things probably looking pretty good in Japan without those tests. Yeah, honestly. But we've got we've I think I know Barbara and I have both had tests. We both had to go in to the office. I don't know about cold cold. Yeah, yeah, anytime. It's rare. I've only had to go in, I think, to the studio to film something once since March. And for that one thing I had to go in for, I had to get COVID testing the day before.

And even when we are in the studio, everyone has to wear masks and maintain distance. It's like only once the, you know, once we're set up, once the cameras are rolling, it's like, okay, take your mask off, do the scene. All right, put the mask back on. Yeah, and they'll still distance and everything. They'll basically act as if, you know, you don't know if you have COVID or not and still maintain this into everyone where it's masks if they're not,

like in front of the camera in that moment. Yeah. But yeah, I think I've had now, because I've done like a couple shoots and also like some photo shoots that we've done for merch. I think I've done like seven COVID tests. Maybe six.

All up the nose, like that nasal swab, were they like touch your brain? Yeah. They're actually, and I don't know if it's like, dependent on the way your nasal passage is shaped or the administrator or whatever it is, but like, they're totally fine for me. Like, I don't really feel anything until I'm like,

okay. Mine was the one, because I had my first one for RTX whenever we did the Backers Compact panel in studio and I was fine until I forgot how long five seconds was. One, two, three. I was like, okay, I'm done and I like go back and I was like, oh, I'm done. And I like go back and I just like touched. And I was like, immediately just started crying. Just, yeah, you just wait there. Close your eyes and it was love, let it happen to you.

Yeah, I sat on my hands. That's, I think I did that as well. I was like, nope, nope, no, no, accident happening, but still, it did. Accidents. So right, you got out of that. Yeah, I still. It did. Accident. So right, you got out of that. I did. I did.

Yeah, and I was going to say, like, you know, I've been, well, I was really keeping my distance and trying to be safe because, you know, my grandparents are elderly. And I would only go like by groceries for them. And then we were super, super strict about it. I'd say up until about two months ago. Up until September, we were like, crazy strict, but Japan itself wasn't really strict. I think mainly because I talked a lot of my American friends, and I

almost don't feel right living normally, so, but also like like it's kind of like, again, I'm suspicious of Japan. And so I was like, there's probably something lurking and we just don't know. Maybe we lucky and got like a lighter strain of it or something, but regardless, it's better to be safe than sorry. But now everything is like relatively back to normal. I'd say, you know, Japan has always worn masks and we're also like pretty hygienic.

Everybody washes their hands a lot. Nobody wears shoes indoors. I'm a country that respects medical and scientific experts. They do. There are definitely some outliers out there that are crazy and it sucks that they're all young people. And I say this as an old person. But I'm like, I just don't understand how these 20 year olds

or teenagers are thinking they can defy science or medicine. But I'd say for the most part, especially my town, is really obedient for lack of a better term, mainly because everyone's so old old, like if it comes to its own birth, so. I'm gonna say I am a little jealous, people should check out your YouTube channel, I don't know if you have anything else to plug, but I know you've been uploading some videos to your YouTube channel, you just put one up the other day where you went to Disney C. Yeah, we were super, super careful.

I was so afraid of putting that video up. Like I was wondering what people were gonna say. Like, oh, like how dare you go out? Like I hope you get it. Because like I was just expecting people to be really mad at the fact that I could do that. But it was so procedural and careful that it like started becoming more interesting and informative

rather than like, yeah, I'm having such a good time. So I feel like it kind of ended up being like a really good day in terms of a shooting of log but also being able to send that information out there to the world. But yeah, like you guys are taking it. I mean, you guys are handling it better than a lot of countries. So it's only fair that

if the country and the people are respecting things and taking it seriously and going through all the processes correctly, that you're handling it in a responsible way. So you should be able to enjoy things that you could do responsibly in your country. It's just a Yes. It does. It does. And I like so appreciate that because like I was trying to justify it by saying that in my head I was like, but we're doing fine. Like if it was really insane and deadly here, like we wouldn't do such a thing. And also Disney was like the first place to shut down like immediately. Yeah.

I don't know. So I was like, it must be doing. They must be doing something right. Well, I also love that you you did make a vlog out of it because I am so excited about how strangely reality TV and vlogs are gonna be like a very intimate snapshot of the COVID era. That's true.

It is. Yeah, documented, like clearly documented and like time segmented too. So. It's like, during no other time, are you gonna be able to see that few crowds at Tokyo Disney Sea. Yes, that was also the other factor that kind of motivated me to want to make the video. I also like went to Tokyo a couple weeks prior to that to do a couple

like work things that had to be done in person. It didn't have to be done in person. Japan's very archaic. So I did that and then I shot a video for it as well because I also got my hair done and people were really interested in seeing how empty Tokyo was and I was like personally astonished. I've never seen Tokyo like that. Even when I was in middle school, Tokyo wasn't that empty. So it just like blew my mind. I never thought I'd ever see that like visual ever. And then like, you know, Disney was happening and I was like, Disney's probably going to be empty. Like, it's never going to look like that again,

kind of like Tokyo thing. So I felt like I almost needed to document it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It turned out okay. It turned out okay. Everybody's safe. There's no cases there. Yeah. Well, it's interesting. You know, you talk about, I think Cole mentioned, like how, you know, we'll be able to, we have such great documentation of the eras because, like, I guess, you know, smartphones are and cameras in general are so readily accessible that anybody just starts, you know, documenting everything that's around them. So we have such complete coverage of everything. And I've kind of fallen down a rabbit hole since we're quarantined and we can't travel anywhere. I've fallen down a rabbit hole of watching videos of people walking, like silently walking around streets of cities that I like around the world. And it's like I'll watch people,

just carrying a camera walking through the streets of Sydney or Tokyo or wherever, anywhere in the world. Yeah, yeah. And just being like, oh, I've been there. Like, it's just kind of like soothing, like almost like, it's almost like an ASMR for me. Like, be able to experience a familiar, happy place.

I love that feeling. Like, that was, I mean, to me that was like the biggest mood I had the first time going to Japan was going to Akihabara and not even like going to the strip, but walking out of the train station and being, I have stood in this spot in so many movies, anime, games, and I was like, wow, yeah. And like, it's not flipped vice versa.

When I see somebody else go there, I like, I'll, I stood there, like I, I was sitting there. I just, I just, you're like that gif of Leonardo DiCaprio and what you've had a time in Hollywood where you're like pointing atif of Leonardo DiCaprio and what's the point of time in Hollywood where you're like pointing at the string. I got to get the drink. Yeah, it's just like being able to go, oh, they're seeing things from the same angle I saw it from.

Like, do round the corner, there's the Gundam Cafe. And then, sure enough, they round the corner and there's the Gundam Cafe, or you're like, see, I do. I just can't be touched. I just got to be touched. An interesting time capsule to go back and like experience and look at like I was thinking about this the other day. I think we talked about it on the podcast a few weeks ago, but

myself and a few other people have during quarantine what when it was safe of course and like we you know worked with the theater when it was safe to do so, but we rented out a theater at the LMO and like I think it was only like six of us in a theater meant for like 200 people. So everyone is very distanced. You order your food beforehand. It gets delivered to you. There's like no interaction or anything.

Everyone's wearing masks if they're not eating, et cetera, et cetera. But we got like a little printout at the theater that had like all these rules and regulations and like COVID safety measures and everything like that. And I'm like, I'm gonna keep this this printout because like, I'm going to look back on this in like years from now, I'm going to be like, man, remember 2020. Oh, you're grandkids. So it's going to be like, Hey, this happened.

Yeah. Like, you won't believe me. And then like, things like your vlog and stuff like that, like getting to see a glimpse into what reality was like during this year and how different it was, it's just going to be so fascinating to go back to. It really is like scrapbook material, like getting especially, you know, like paper or like anything with information on it about the protocols and procedures and stuff. Like, I remember taking pictures of all the signs at Disney because I'm like, that's not going to be up forever. Like, eventually, you're going to go back to normal eventually.

So I took pictures of all the really strange signs that are like, you know, the social distancing signs or like the mandatory mask signs and stuff like that. And oh, the creepiest thing was, you know, how you could take pictures with like characters and there's usually a line for it. You can only take socially distanced photos with them so it's really, really sad. Oh, like back here and you're like up here and they're like pretending to like high-five you but there's obviously this like perception issue. So you're like oh my gosh. Think about that. That's so funny. What about it? Sorry, was that for the like even

the like masked characters like Mickey and millions to like yes fully Well, cuz if you go and hug them and then another person goes and hugs them Yeah, another person goes and like that's not there's probably safe inside there But people who touch that very Absorbent surface Horace people who touch that very absorbent surface. Horus. Horus, yeah. Yeah, that would, that's, that's not good.

That seems like a ideal transmission. Yeah. There's not like Mickey can hand sanitize or up in that thing. So just cover it in like the plastic that your grandmother would cover her couch in. Oh, no. You go like, and then you can remove it like layers. Yeah. Or like straight down.

You can't do it like layers. Yeah, or like straight down. You can shoot them for yourself. You can get a little poignant cover and put it over your neck. I have a friend who has been fortunate enough to visit their parents a lot during this. But every time they leave, they do a hug, but they put towels over themselves to do the hug. It's the most wholesome, beautiful thing. I'm just like, oh, it's. But I feel like you're already in that close quarter with the, I don't know, maybe there is.

I think it's just a precaution. Yeah, but it's better to be, yeah. Speaking of things that are cute, I had a discussion on the podcast. Thanks guys. I was, I've absolutely fallen in love with K cars. Cute. I had a discussion on the podcast. Thanks, guys. I've absolutely fallen in love with K cars. Oh, yeah, I heard. I've been looking at them online and like every day I'm like showing my wife like,

look, isn't this car cute? Shouldn't we buy it? And she's like, don't buy that stupid car. Oh, God. Okay. Can I ask why you're interested in them? I've seen a few of them driving around Austin. And I just think that they're, yeah, there's not many. But especially around the studio, there's like a couple of trucks and vans that drive around there.

Yeah. And that's when I first started noticing them. And I just think that they're really cute. And I think it would look ridiculous, because I'm really tall. I mean, you've seen me before. But I think it would be really ridiculous if I folded myself up into one of those and was driving it around Like a clown car He's sticking up you like

Yeah, but unfortunately I've read online a lot of people complain that they're actually Really shittily put together and they're kind of a pain in the ass And they're like they're only exist to like fulfill a certain like tax loophole for auto manufacturers and In Japan, which is why they're not really widely exported to the rest of the world. There's like there's a lot of reasons I shouldn't get one, but they're pretty cute. It's like a plug. There's a lot of reasons you shouldn't get a pug, but I'm gonna get one though.

So K cars are really useful, especially if you live in the country like I do, because our streets are, they don't, there's like no, I don't know, like regulation. There's a street that's like this wide and it's a two way freaking street. It makes no sense at all. You have to wait for each other. Like you have to see each other from afar, wait for each other, and then like maneuver. And sometimes you can't even get through. So K-Cars are really excellent for stuff like that. Also, the houses around here are so, again, unregulated and random.

And the sizes just, they do not make no freaking sense. So their driveway is like this very tight, ridiculous, narrow thing, and you can generally only get in via owning a K-Car. And so K-Car's are really popular now in Japan. And now they're becoming like really, really not souped up. They're just becoming like well-manufactured. And they're also very attractive. Like there's a brand called

It's called like Toyota Hustler which sounds Just look up Toyota Hustler K and they're so oh my god. This is amazing. Is it so cute? So like a little FJ. What the heck? Exactly. You're getting really intense and popular and cute. They're getting cuter now.

It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like a little like in- It's like unsuspectingly suspicious, and it's actually really tall. Like it's almost the way a bus is built, which is why their, I guess, like their manufacturing regulations are quite different as well. But the windows are like panel, huge windows, kind of like in a bus or like a shuttle or something like that.

And there's a surprising amount of space. However, they can only work with tires of a certain size and thickness and at maximum, they're like 650ccs of horsepower, which is nothing. That's like, if you fill your car up with like four people, you can't go up a hill, you literally can't do it. It's like impossible.

It's like, all right, dad, you gotta get out. We're gonna go, you meet us at the top of this. We end double the horsepower, somebody push. Oh, actually, I had trouble once since I live near Hakanay. And in order to get from my town in Shizuka to Hakanay, you have to take this hairpin curve, like straight road, whatever, up a hill, and it gets really, really dicey towards the middle, and then it kind of tapers out, but I was in a K-car and it was struggling so much,

it made the saddest noise, like it was clearly dying, and it didn't stall or anything, but at one point, it just stopped. But the engine's going and like your foot's on the gas, but it like I did not go any further. It was kind of sad. But look at the Austin's really flat. So I think it would be okay. Yeah, I was going to say, guess you might be okay here.

You can't go to West Austin. Yeah, I feel comfortable. Who wants to go over there anyway? Yeah, yeah. I'm over there. Yeah, it might work go to West Austin. Yeah, I feel like who wants to go over there anyway? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it might work for you in Austin. But the problem is like, they're really like, like K actually means light. Like it's literally the kanji and the morphine for the word for light, like not heavy. So it like if it's in a typhoon and if it's like boxy and you're in a typhoon, they tip over. Like, they just do. So, I don't know. It's not like the best. The hustler doesn't there. The hustler is excellent. It's like, I'm not like just doing a good driving in a

rich typhoon. I love it. Yeah, I know. Even in a garage during a hurricane, you'll be fine. Yeah, there you go. You'll also be in a r a hurricane. You'll be fine. Yeah, there you go. You'll also also grow up. Stan, you're hoping fine. Yeah, the ones I've been looking at were the Honda beat and the Suzuki Mighty Boy, which are I guess the old ones. They make better those anymore. Yeah, the Suzuki Mighty Boy looks like it looks like a little micro machines like a little guy. I would have had when I was a kid.

It really does. It looks like a good transform. I've always liked the El Camino. And it reminds me of a smaller version of an El Camino like pocket size. It's gonna be like that, seeing in the symptoms of you driving that car and someone like opens your door, you get out and you're that super tall guy

coming out of the tiny little car. Yep, that's me. Have you ever been in a fiat, like those tiny cars in the US? No, I haven't. I have not. You have cool? Yeah, so I'm six three.

Yeah. So I tell a boy as well. When I was shopping for my cars, I have a golf GTI now, but I was shopping for it. I was dead set on getting either a fiat or a mini Cooper. And I have a mini Cooper until I got in them and they couldn't get out. It was like, oh, I have to literally fall out of a car because my legs can't bend that way.

I really got stuck in the car. Yeah, like, I, and that's where I couldn't lift myself out. Like, I had to like crawl out. Oh my God. It reminds me of every time. And I'm, right, I'm sure you could relate to this whenever you're in a dressing room trying on something that you think you could get on. And then you get it on and then you realize, this isn't coming off. Yeah.

And you need to like, all the sales associate to like, wiggle it off of you. Yes. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like. Yes, I am. Thank you for there. To come help eject me from the car, is like, I cannot comfortably get out of this car. Please help. I get it because you have to tuck your knee

all the way into your body. And then you can't use any power to extend out. Yep. Yeah, yeah. And someone had little lips at the bottom, like a little lip that would hit when it was trying to come out. And the steering wheel is also right there. Like it's like right on top of it.

So, and then also my head was high enough to where the windshield was like here. And so it was like below eye level. Yeah, so it had to like, ah. So we're like the same height, right? Well, you might have like an inch on me or two. Yeah.

We're pretty close, okay. Good to know. Good to know. I'll try to avoid those cars. See how it's in minis, they're rough. an inch on me or two. Yeah. We're pretty close. Okay. Good to know. I'll try to avoid those cars. Fiat's and minis, they're rough. Many Cooper's look like regular sized cars here. That's so funny.

I'm not even joking. They look insane. And also, I once witnessed a Honda CRV here, it couldn't fit through any of these. Oh my God. It couldn't fit. It couldn't do it. Yeah. So imagine a hammer in Japan. Oh God.

Oh, I've seen one. And it looks like a moving building. Just, it's just not. The very first time I ever went to Tokyo, I went by myself and it was back in 2005. And I remember I took the train from Nareda to Shinjuku. I was staying, I was actually staying really close to Shinjuku station and I walked out of the exit from Shinjuku and it was, I was going to walk to my hotel and I was looking around and as I was

looking around a car pulled up there, the exit I had come out of there was like a, I guess like a pick up area where cars could come in, pick a drop people off and then drive off and leave. Yeah. And this one car drove up and it was a Cadillac Escalade. And it was just like blasting music and it looked massive compared to every other car there. I bet. And then you could tell it was imported like the steering wheel was on our side versus

the right. Yeah. The right side. I was like someone paid a lot of money for that car and then paid a lot of money to bring it over. And they are loving that everyone's looking at that right now I couldn't see who was in it. I was like that is really weird that I just walked out of this shinducus station That's like the first thing I see a car senior. Yeah. Oh wow. That is so bizarre

I can't even imagine because it's so wide. It's such a like literally on purpose a wide car So how could it even get through anywhere? I guess Tokyo, let me Tokyo was different back in the day, but it wouldn't fit here. Like it can't make it through the country. Yeah, remember we had regular size cars and now it's a bunch of the tiny ones. No one could fit anywhere. Well, even in Tokyo, there's like some, you'll walk down a walkway and you're like, oh, this is definitely intended for people to walk. And then you see a car coming down. It's like, oh, nope, this is the road.

Like you're walking on the road. I thought this was a sidewalk. Yeah, it's not okay. Like I don't know how more people don't just die. Like I don't understand. I'm like, I feel like that's, that's, like smaller cars and like smaller streets and like places like that.

I feel like you see a lot of that in Europe too. And it makes me wonder if like North America is the only place doing it wrong where we had these like big honk and places like that. I feel like you see a lot of that in Europe too. And it makes me wonder if North America is the only place doing it wrong where we had these big honk and chonk cars and big honk or chonk. We just say, wait. We just have so much space. Like, we're in a place that can continue to push cities outwards.

Like, Japan or Tokyo can't go outwards. It has to go up or like fit more stuff in between the stuff that's already there. Oh wow, you're right. I, it's been a while, but I saw like a mini documentary, maybe a year or two ago, about how in the United States, the auto industry, you know, when it launched,

it really had to change people's minds about cars and about the way people thought about public spaces because roads had to take over public space, basically. People were used to walking in the street and walking around. So the auto industry invented the term J-walking to indicate when someone was walking in the street, when they shouldn't be,

because at the time J-walking, a J was like a hillbilly or an uneducated person. So they invented this term to be derogatory to be like, if you're a sophisticated city dweller, you know not to walk in the street, but if you're an uneducated person, you're a J walker. So it's like they had to really work to change people's mindsets to get out of the way to allow people to be okay with roads expanding and picking up so much public, what used to be public space. And now we're looking back and thinking about it, it's like,

that's really criminal. Like that's really fucked up that they did that. It's fucked up. It's really, but it's fucked up. They tied that with the idea that cars equal freedom. It's like, yeah, if you get a car, you're free, the American dream, risk like racing your Mustang down the open country road. Yeah, I hate this. There's like so much regulation. And even then, you're still also part of it. I feel like that's like, so I don't know. It just seems weird for like an industry to be able to make a law like that or like something that would be ticketed like a ticketed offense like that like Jay walking in. Right.

Like a legal version. Yeah. It wasn't essentially it was just like you don't want to be a Jay walker and politicians like I don't. Gotcha. I mean, I'm cool. I misunderstood. I thought you're like they enacted this new law and I was just like, Dan, I don't. I mean, I'm cool. I misunderstood. I thought you're like, they enacted this new law.

I was just like, Dan, that's power. They just created the term. All they had to do was change the way people thought about the situation. And then the laws followed. It was like, it was just basically a propaganda push. Like they just changed perception so that everyone went along and everyone was okay with it. That's the only such. Oh, no, go ahead.

That seems to be like the strongest political play is just called people mains. You want to get a law pass cause you're a J walker. What does that mean? You're a dumb walker. I'm not a dumb walker. I'm dumb walker. No, I'll pass a law. You're a person.

Yeah. Yeah. I as much as I've heard that perm, I've just never knew it was. Yeah, it's been detached from that meaning. And like that's how effective of it was. And it was, it wasn't that long ago. I mean, it was conceivably within, you know, maybe our grandparents or our great grandparents lives, you know, it really was not that long ago.
