It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. James. Hey, what up bitch boy, Bernie. And I'm Gus. So you see where after a good start, you didn't get old.

You didn't get old. You didn't get old. Yeah, you nailed it. Absolutely. Americans are a lot louder than British people, aren't they? By default. Are we lower on the audio board? Oh, so Gavin.

Than the brits? You forgot what country we're in. America's it's say things Were you sure don't worry you got to let us know otherwise we'll just get out of control. Yeah I almost saw a fight earlier today speaking of being in the United States. I Was a sales office. No, I was that that stupid roundabout that's down the road on 51. Oh no shit And I would before you go on the roundabout, there's a light, right? And there's usually panhandlers there,

you know, asking for money. Okay, well, less. You're going west. And I'm stopped in the left lane, because I'm gonna go straight. And one of the panhandlers gets up to talk to the car in front of me, I'm second in the light. They get up to talk to the car in front of me.

I can see the woman in the car in front of me points to her back seat. So the guy, the homeless guy, like goes to the rear door, opens it up and there's like a bag. So he grabs the bag and the woman's like waving at him, like I guess it was like a bag of water or food or whatever.

Nice lady it sounds like. So far not so good. I was like, good on that lady. Like she's helping him out. Guy grabs the bag, you know, he's. My pause? Gavin finished the story. What happens? It's a baby seat. Um grabs a bag, you know, he's- My paws? Yeah, I haven't finished the story. What happens?

It's a baby seat. Um, I want to hear more about that. Yeah. It's a giant bag of shit. And she's pulling a prank. Like it was, yeah, it was like, it was trash. No, okay.

He starts walking away to go back to where he was sitting before. Another car that was like the next lane over, the driver puts his car in park and gets out and starts yelling at the homeless guy and walking over It's like I think he assumes that the homeless guy just opened up that woman's door and took her bag But you know, so he's coming out and he starts yelling and he gets like in the face of the homeless guy And they're like in each other's faces like screaming at each other So this point is two people who have done a kindness right and it's erupting into a fight right?

I'm like Logan America. What the fuck just happened like this woman just did something really nice And now there's like I'm gonna watch a fight right in front of me. I was helping him Well, I'm gonna help you right in this so like eventually like the woman like rolls out her window and like you know I I have my windows are up so I can't hear what she's saying but she's like waving at the guy and like Just reading that it's okay then like the guy like turns around to go back in his car And the homeless guy still upset. He's like screaming at the other guy who got out of the car. Yeah, you do it in that encounter. Well, you want to.

Right, what the fuck? What the fuck is happening? The woman's learnt a lesson there. No, truly. The never-before-hide. People are like, the lesson don't get involved. You know, sometimes when you're playing a stealth game,

and you're like 20% through and you say, yeah, I've done this really well. And then you just do it making a mistake and it all kicks off. Yep. And you just revert to the last checkpoint. That'll be a situation where if I could just go back to the checkpoint, I would and just,

that could play out entirely differently. Right, like put the bag in the front seat and you roll the window down and you hand it out. And you present it with Flair. Right. I never revert to the checkpoint. When everything goes wrong, I just start chucking grenades and like running around

shooting everything. That's how every stealth game goes for me. I get all the way through up to a certain point, somebody sees me and I'm like, fuck it. Shotgun comes out. So when you're playing Horizon, you play that, right? Yeah. Did you be in the bushes for like 10 seconds

and then when I okay, so if you just guns blazing? There's a lot of parts of Horizon, we gotta go a pretty long distance and you gotta kill the, I can't, I've been watching it, I played it. Where are the snake robots? What are they? The like the weasel look on ones?

They look like raptors? They look like raptors? The raptors? Yeah, we watch that. That's it. The weasel look at ones? They look at raptors robot. They look like the watchers the raptors. Yeah watch that's the the way the raptor robot. There you go. Right.

It's in the lower horizon. So those you gotta like go and you gotta track them over and they got a staffer while you're like fuck it and you get out and you just shoot them in the eye. You're good all the same. Far Cry 5's like that too. Yeah, far cry 5's there.

I love you. I love you. So what I know how this lent itself to the story. love you, Bo. So what? I don't know. I asked this Len himself to the story that you just shoot. Well, he'd, I don't know what the guy in the eye. Yeah, not a hate guy. No, no, no. I've got to get my card shot.

I was like, what were you talking about? The homeless fella. We're reloading saves. Approaching it differently. All right. OK. Well, I just stealth games in general. It's just like some people just don't have what it takes

for stealth. But if you like have that ability and you don't know it, because you've learned all your lessons as you've gone along. Did you have a perfect run through, a perfect playthrough so far? I really, yeah, I really like stealth games and trial and error games. That's why I like squint and so and hit man,

because you can, you can go in there like, and then you, you perfect it. See, I, I never felt Metal Gear Solid because of that game where you're just in a box for four days. Brueh! You're just in a cardboard box just walking around. That's the beginning of like, I think it's the second one, will get solid two or something like that. And with you, I can't stand it.

And ever since then, I was just like, no. Then you get an hour and a half between them. I've never got through a Metal Gear game. I watched Dan play, you can Metal Gear Solid 4, I think. It's a good one. Missing out. I think Metal Gear Solid 4, I think, ends with like a two and a half hour. That was, I think until that story because it was like, all right, Dan, he's right at

the end, we knew he's right at the end, he's like, finish this up, we'll go to the pub and it's like 9.30. But the time we finished watching that cutscene, it's like almost midnight. Yeah, that's the last cutscene in Metal Gear Solid four's fucking full. Yeah, that was Friday night down the toilet. It's like that's longer than a film. Yeah. The conclusion of the game. And like that's longer than a film. Yeah, the conclusion of it.

And it makes less sense than a film. You got to be steeped in the lore. Yeah, I wasn't. That's how I felt when we were in line for Ready Player 1, it's South by and Ashley wanted to wait in line. And it was a two and a half hour line waiting to get in the moving the hour, the movie's what an hour and a half. Two hours, 20 minutes.

Is it? Yeah. Okay. We started last night. What's that? Didn't we? If we did, didn't we? What is your opinion? I thought hour and a half. Two hours, 20 minutes. Is it? Yeah. Okay. We started last night. What's that? Did we? We did. Didn't we? What is your opinion of Ready Player?

I thought last night too. I've got no opinion of it. There you go. Right. I didn't know. I came out and I was like, I didn't hate it. And I was like, I don't know whether I liked that or not. I don't know what I just thought. I just got feelings.

It's just like, I feel good. No, there was too many things distracting me. That might be a lot of interesting. I think I've got feelings. It's just like, I feel good. No, there was too many things distracting me. Nope, it might be a lot of interesting. I think I've ever heard. But no, there was just people from like, British sitcoms back home. Yeah, it was very, I'm not sure of this the case. It seemed very obviously shot entirely in England.

Like it looked like England. Everyone in it was English, pretending to be American. I just, yeah, there was like, been chief in the office. No, I didn't get that at all. Yeah. I mean, I get what you would. Wasn't not shot in England. Oh, the exterior shots, they're in Hackney in the East London. And then Lord H or something.

Birmingham, Birmingham. The main cast was English. The most of it. The Midlands and... That's all of our media. Roadmaker Street in London. You two should not be complaining about this This is opportunity for you all all of our best TV gets basically stolen now from the UK and all of our best actors are all

Because when you speak or spread it Simon peg Some peg the other bloke who was was his name mark someone mic frost Mark Reiland yeah Yeah. Also English. Yeah. Both playing Americans. The girl in English, she's from Manchester or something. Finchie from the office. And a black guy from extra extras.

We were just having like, oh, it's like going from that. Oh, it's like, oh, shit, let's be good. You're going to claim the Iron Giant while you're at it. Oh, good day for me. Oh, Tracer from Overwatch. Is what, British? There you go. There you go.

Too much Tracer in red flagrant. There was literally my only complaint is that if they're gonna cover so much territory, including potentially future IP that we don't recognize, like the main characters could be these incredibly popular future IP things that they've used for their avatars, way too much Tracer, Way too much tracer.

Way too much modern days. Tracer was like coming back to it. And five or six different scenes. Yeah. And the lorians at a ton, but it makes sense. So yeah, the lorian has already stood the test of time. Right. It's the beach.

It will always be culturally referenced. Yeah. Recent games that come out now, you just don't, don't know, do you, don't know? Yeah, you don't know if it's gonna last There's no pub G. What's that no pub G no fortnight? Pan on the back the loyalty sent ahead so it was kind of pub Gish Yeah, look at it Chan kind of like a little three helmet. Yeah

Yeah, I thought it was fine I thought it was okay. I didn't regret going to watch it. It was fun. It was great at all, but it was nice. Just don't know whether I liked it or not. Yeah, you walked down, you're like, I don't know. Was that good? Yeah, thanks for the food and the beer. Oh yeah.

I remember that I didn't get down anything. Oh, because he sat on his own. Yeah. Is Danny Town? Or I'll down. He took my seat, didn't he? At the, because the maybe. Mac got me a last minute.

Yeah, as well as you're going to be Meg me and Dan. And Dan said, you can see next to Gavin, I've been hanging around with him all week. I'm sick of him. Sick of his face, sick of his attitude. But they said that they were doing this thing on the screen where it said, you know, if someone's annoying you, then you can run it on your little ticket.

Yeah, it's nice. And I just went, I mean, should we get done for now? That would be fantastic. Because you really put up a fight the moment they came to talk to him. And he would start talking back to them and confuse them. And then you would have been a jack. Yeah. Yeah.

You definitely, like, you can't appeal that process. Kennedy, they're just like, get out. I know. And also that's not the forum to sort of have an argument. Yeah, like by argument, I mean like state your case. Yeah. I was like the fact that I'm just envisioning that he's all the way across the movie. These two guys are complaining on this guy really far away. And everyone around him's like, no, he's fine. Well, those two guys over there said he's causing a problem.

Yeah. Do the Alamo staff grasp you up when you've made a complaint? Do they like sailing? Do they want? They grasp on you. I think that's up to the gras. Particularly. I think it has to be done all in code.

Do they sit down? Because if it's someone right next to you, because the idea of writing it down on that piece of paper to for them to collect is, I think, for an amenities. Yeah. So you can, so what, a good one, a good waiter or whatever would go, okay, yes, I'll get that for you now, sir. Then give it two minutes and then come back and say, oh, there's been a complaint.

Right, that's the bus to just pull the act going, hey, you. Yeah. I just, you know, it's like really quite taking over those, I look at you, hot dog, yeah. You what? You. Yeah. Or just just of the pain. It's not really quite taking over those eyes. Okay, yeah, hot dog, yeah. You what? You. Yeah, but like, do you think anybody who raises like a complaint card, does anybody like complain and order food on the same card? It's like, hey, I had two seats over, it's really loud.

Also, can I get a hot dog? Oh, and by the way, I would succub him. So I can go, so that if they, if they aren't ejected for whatever reason, I can, you can just go look by the way, that was a make- I got the hot dog here. Just like a shrug. I don't want it.

You want it? This is just to kick somewhere. I was buckly put his order down because the other element you write down and you stick it in the front of the thing. He wrote beer. I'm just putting the front. Beer?

But then I changed it. Oh, I thought it was like, no, no, beer or cider, and then put it back. It's the easiest customer ever. Yeah, but it's not because they don't want to get you and they had to be like, what do you want? I knew it would be a discussion. Yeah, you wanted to engage in a discussion? No, I just knew it was gonna,

but I was gonna have to say what beer's nice. Oh, you just want to ask me like a recommendation. So, and they gave it to me. How was it? It was all right. So and they gave it to me. How was it? It was all right. So I don't have a family. They recommended the cider. Yeah.

All right, we'll move. I saw a family walk in when I was watching Redd player one else went to the animal and it was a... I can't believe you're seeing it so soon after it came out. I felt like I had to see because we were talking about on the podcast. It was like the parents and then two daughters. And the daughters were younger. They're probably like 12 or 13. The family the parents and then two daughters. And the daughters were younger.

They're probably like 12 or 13. The family walks in and I'm kind of closely, I also hear them when they walk in. The father looks at the girls and goes, okay, we're not sitting together. You, you're the fourth seat down over there and you, you're like on the other end on that aisle over there.

And the girls are just looking at him and he goes, nah, I'm just kidding. And they keep walking to their seats and they're both just go, Dad, that's not funny. I love this dad. It's like, that's the most dad joke ever, as far as I'm concerned. They also, he's Mr. Trick. The suit, because my kids are six and four, two boys.

As soon as they're sort of that 10, 11, and we go to the pictures together or whatever, I will get them separate seats. Smart move. Yeah, I'll sit with my wife and enjoy a film. But at the Alamo, there's sometimes just booths of two. So then you're basically having your kid go on a date with some random strangers. They're on the other side.

He's got two kids. Also, how are they going to pick up? I'll have them set together. Okay. How are they going to pay for it? Then it becomes a thing. Do you give them a credit card, tell it a little. They had a little bit of somehow.

Like you could. They could get a job. Yeah, you got it. I don't know if legally they could have gotten a job yet. They might have been a little young for that. So we have to talk about moments from the film, was it too soon? I can't remember any moment from the film.

Here you are. Do you remember Richie from the office? Finchy. Finchy, there you go. Yeah, Finchy was in it. Finchy, you know, in the American office, David Keckner, whatever his name is, that character, Todd.

Yeah, Todd Packard. It's the British equivalent of that character is in Ready Play One. Yeah, you can talk, I think it's like, you don't spoil anything. I thought the shining bit was cool. That was cool. So it's the one thing that if you don't understand

the reference, I think you would get lost in that moment, but it's absolutely really weird. It was weird, it was the weird, just to see, there's like some of it look old footage. It looked really cool. It looked amazing. I was like, some of it look out for it. It looked really cool. It looked amazing. I was like, yeah, that's really, it looked really weird. I don't know where the cut side, I don't know what's new,

I don't know what's old. That stuff was impressive. Yeah. The film was very different from the book. That's what makes it. I think they kept the title and the character names. And the basic premise. Well, and VR, right?

Yeah, but I mean, it was just of the Oasis. Everything was incredibly different But the author was the contest and everything do you author was on the screenplay? There wasn't yeah, I'm not complaining and but it's just it was I was expecting there to be he was complaining either You know for a fact. He's just going Spoolberg wants this yeah, and the book into a film. He was polishing his glory. All right Yeah, I heard I just like you want to change everything from the book. Yeah, okay.

What director was you want to be in a movie for the most? Having been in actual real famous movies and that? I don't know. I don't really listen to them that much. They tell me all kinds of stuff to do. It goes right over me. What about like... So do you ever work closely with a director?

Or is it more just like, I'll take care of it, just tell me where to stand or are you like working on the character? Yeah, no, no. No, no. Now, there's some, it's some directors are, they work through the camera lens, you know, the IPs. Yeah, my, there's some that are actors directors. Yeah, sit down and talk with you.

I would never know what you're doing. I don't think I've worked with any director like that. I've only worked with directors that have a shot list and know where they want you to stand. No one says like, oh, maybe you should try doing it like this. So nobody respects you as an artist. No, no, no, no, I get told respect. So how many times on the in between as were you told to like adjust your performance. There was one time where Ian Morris, who was one of the writers and one of the co-directors of the second movie,

but this was way early in when we were doing the TV show. His note was, can you do that again, but better? Really? Good note. It's George Lucas' school directing right there. So, I was like, thanks mate. It's a bit shit. I don't know why, but you're definitely the cause. Yeah. I've had that note before, but I definitely deserve it. It was one time where we just needed a close-up of my hand,

ringing a doorbell. But I was... The middle finger answer. You did some jokes? I was looking at the monitor and missed the doorbell. It was really like just a really quick shot. Well, what should you do the monitor for if you're using your human eyes? I know, it's like these monitors here.

Just get distracted by them. When you see yourself on a monitor. You want to look at it? Yeah. Like a budget. It'd be great if the film, if it was shot back when everybody shot in film because then you could actually be calculated

how much money it cost you to miss that doorbell. Yeah. Yeah. We used to calculate, when we were shooting our first movie, it was on 60 millimeter film, every second we held down the record button, so to hold it down, was $5 a second. Well, and you waste the first second or two spinning it up.

You do? Yeah, it's garbage. And then you have a limited amount of film on the reel, so you have enough where you don't have enough to do a shot, so you had to let it go. And it's like, shit, we still have to get it developed and everything else. Pay us. And it has really weird to like shoot something and say,

all right, we'll see what that looks like in about three weeks, because we don't have any idea what you're ever. Yeah, you can't do any rushes or anything. No, we didn't have like a video tap, you couldn't afford that stuff. So ready player one only made $41 million this weekend. Only $41 million. Give me, give made $41 million this weekend only 41 million dollars. Give me give me 41 million dollars. It's the first it's not the first weekend. It's been out though.

It's been out. Yeah, this is opening weekend. Oh, is it? Yeah, it was at the film festival here. And yeah, this is the opening weekend. I think that's why I thought it was old because I've been watching this podcast. Yeah. You guys have been talking about it for weeks.

It's been going on for a while. Yeah. I just like, I got fascinated by the amount of gatekeeping that people were doing where they were trying to dislike this movie before they even went into it. Like they were convinced it was gonna be terrible. Yeah, they wanted it so badly. It's like this is a movie for all of you, you know? Yeah, like I went, Esther went into the film

really not knowing anything about it. And we it we walked out she goes it was fine Totally why she's like why do people not like why are people bitching about this online like it's fine She's like I want to read the bad in the bad reviews. What the fuck are people complaining about? I certainly can't think of anything to criticize it I can't think of a single thing. It was sort of fun and It was sort of fun and it was fine. There's people who think that the number of references to other IP, like the Iron Giant.

Which also there wasn't as many as I thought there was gonna be. Well, the fact that the screen is like loaded with them in some of the big scenes. Yeah, but there wasn't, it was. People see it as pandering. But to me, if you go into a VR environment, today, all you see are IP. You go to VR chat.

It's exactly what it looks like. If anything, it's two on the note. I hate that argument of like, oh, you're just trying to please an audience. What's the one we're trying to please an audience? I'm making a movie for them. If somebody's making a movie for you and you can tell it's geared towards you, why wouldn't you want to support that so that more people make more movies

along the lines of what you like? Also, I think people don't understand what are in terms of paperwork and legal. What a technical nightmare that must have been to get all those IPs in the same movie. Speedway, I think, 75% of it was all amblin. Spillberg stuff. We sounded released by heavy stuff in there as well.

Like, I talked about it on the like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm not surprised. No, it's not there. I think it seems like a, like, like, if that was the case, like, that's a big hole, like that would have been here as well. Oh yeah. Yeah. And what would there be besides Sonic? A street fighter. No, sorry, that's a thing.

No. A streets of rage, sorry. Stuff like that. Would that be noticed? Would people know about that? I wouldn't, you wouldn't actually. There's a lot of battle toads I saw a few times. No shit, really? Yeah. That's like he, man. I didn't, you wouldn't actually. There's a lot of battle toads I saw a few times. No shit, really?

Yeah. I saw he-man. I didn't see he- We're doing this thing. We're doing the thing that everyone would be upset about that we just saw this or saw that. Let us know if you saw Ruby in the chat. We're monitoring the chat.

On the last few of my site. People have been looking and that'll, we don't think she made it in. Or if she did, she's in the back of some scene somewhere. Or maybe just somebody has the crescent rose somewhere. But that would be easily mistaken for a siph. A siph. Yeah, I would think. Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? Also, I found it difficult to appreciate because it's like what I was saying to you.

There's just sort of, I just find it too difficult to get excited about stuff that's so computer generated. Yeah, like yours, you was that most of the movie's in CG. about stuff that's so computer-generated. Yeah, like you're a skew, was that most of the movies in CG. Which is fine, which, you know, I should have accepted that. But then I asked, like, do you like animated movies less than live action? Actually, probably, yes. So do I.

I mean, if you, we want to talk about my top five movies, there's not a single animated movie that would get into that. So, I. I mean, if you, we want to talk about my top five movies, there's not a single animated movie that would get into that. So yes. What's really is a very classic live-action movie, like the Shining, they were able to recreate any. Well, that was incredible. That was amazing. Incredibly high visual fidelity for something that I,

I feel like I know that space really well, and they were able to replicate it. I felt like it was back in it. That felt scary. If, like, I feel, if that, if any of that was reconstructed really, like if they built a set or if they went to a location that was from the shining

and recreated it, that would have been so cool to walk into as an actor. Because that's impressive. If that was the case, but I don't know whether even what we were looking at then was just computer generated. That's why it's so cheap. It leaves me just feeling sort of slightly disfigured.

I feel like a lot of the time when they were in VR, in the Oasis, everything looks CG, but that's shining part. When they're like lying on the carpet. The carpet was real. It's probably like carpet. An artistic choice, right? Like the Oasis is supposed to be crazy video gamey,

but then they leave to these other places that they can create that look like the real world. Yeah. It was wild. I thought, but I agree. I think I thought the beginning of the movie was a little too heavy on the computer generated stuff. That would be my one thing. I wish there was a little more, what is the world at the top of the film? It's like immediately you're like in the in the Oasis.

Did it one point she pull out the gears of Volanza? Yes, and it got like immediately you're like in the in the oasis. Did it one point she pull out the gears of a lancet? Yes, and it got like immediately broke. Yeah. I was like, was that a lancet? And then it was gone. I was like, oh, that would have been cool to see. Is that the gun with the same shine, something on it? Yeah, yeah, no.

The safest gun in the world. I will say this though, is like the part I didn't like at the beginning when he's in the stacks and he's climbing down. And they're trying to establish how many people in the world use the oasis. And they're trying to establish how many people in the world use the Oasis. And it just goes to show that even Steven Spielberg can't make people using VR look cool.

It always just looks dopey. Was he trying to make him look cool? I don't know. It's like, it doesn't matter how you present that, it always looks awful. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing.

Yeah, because the movie's set in the future, but it was still sort of the technology that we have now. Yeah. And VR is just a pain in the ass. I've got VR, I've got all the gear, but I should never use it because you start getting out. Well, yeah, you have to set it all up and everything, and there's wires all over the place. The wires would get to me. Yeah, I feel like it's any more.

Tripods. For the lighthouses. I don't know why it's more. I just mount them like security cameras. Everybody in my house, I'm gonna put up those things. Get the fuck out of here. We're trying to get a bunch of tripods in the corners. I just can put them away and people come out.

I know, but. You're not gonna put them away. They're all way right now. You're gonna put them away, but then you never would have been able to use them. It's too early in the technology to commit to drilling holes in the wall and stuff. You know, right there, right there.

That's the voice of reason. I drove holes in my wall. I did it. What is the connection to the lighthouse? What is that you plug in? It looks like a mean stereo cable. It's a power cord. Well, I'm talking about the ones to link them together.

So why not just have a magnet link in the wire behind the wall and you just plop them on? Oh, you don't link your, you don't have enough. If you have too far of a distance, you ones to link them together. So why not just have a magnet link them together? The wire behind the wall and you just plop them on. Oh, you don't link your, you don't have enough, if you have too far of a distance, you have to link them. Sorry, I don't have a, what? Refraph, tiny space. I know, you've got your thing to, fuck you first of all, thank you.

One day you'll get on my level, don't worry. Yeah, yours is set up because it's part of your office, dude. I'm talking about my one at home. You really? Yeah, yours would like to, cable running across your world class. Mine could, mine could, mine could, mine really? Yeah, here's what the cable running across. Fucking world class. Mine's the beginning of pictures. What the fuck are you doing in there?

What are you playing? That you're running around a space. The art chat. Are you? No, I've done that a few times. So it was our anniversary. 15 years of Roots Chief. No, that meant me and you.

Yeah, it is you and me. It's a very special time for us. What is the 15th anniversary? What are you supposed to get someone? Like, if you've been married for 15 years. Is there a bug in escalates slowly and it's really slow. It's gonna be something really unimpressive. That's a brand new side. It'll be something like a real aged cheese Going for it. Gavin got James is in with the age cheese. What do you got to represent 15 years? Yeah, naughty movies. naughty movies. Cause if you're 15, you can watch South Park.

I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say any logic. Cause I'm gonna say something dumb like tin. We look this up, cause I remember now looking at it, what was surprising about it. So the 15th anniversary traditional gift is crystal, something made of crystal.

Not too shabby. That's okay. Crystal on a vaster. Made a decade and a half, you get that? I think no movie on a vasteries, but the my, I agree with you, the modern gift is a watch. So Gus, you can give me a watch if you'd like. What were we talking about that soon?

But then this is really interesting. The gemstone and the flower for the 15th anniversary are the ruby and the rose. No way. Yeah, in the fascinating? Holy shit. Yeah, the fascinating. I love the stuff.

Just like last year was year of the Rooster. Yeah, and now it's the year with the Ruby Rose. Well, we were actually looking to the year of the Rooster. We were looking forward to that for a long time. Like we kept every time the Chinese zodiac calendar rolled over, like, is this year the Rooster? It's like, no, it's not. It's like three years from now.

What year? Chinese year, what you born? Rack, I think think dragon. Are you really dragon? I think I'm a horse. I think. Well, you slug off. No idea. I was one my year off to you. Yeah. No, you before me, before you. I should also mention since it was our 15th anniversary, there is also a 15% off founders favorites at the Ristite store. Celebrating 15 years of Ristite, there's a super sale on merch that's meticulously handpicked by myself, Matt, Jeff, Bernie, and also myself.

And each founder is manning the at-arty store Twitter for the week because why not? It's high quality merch. High quality. This shirt is almost 15 years off. Also, I need some shirts. I'll show you up. I can get you a good deal. I've got the 50% off.

Founders select. I'll load you up. Would you just come to the US with nothing? It's smart way to do it. Yeah. But you have to wear it in a movie. I always feel like when you travel internationally. That's my ill.

Is that the same shirt? Yeah, I'm wearing it right now. I wear it then I wear it now.. Oh my god. I was I was That was in oh fine. I got you the love well there. Why haven't you grown into your head yet? Yeah, it was it wasn't ready for me yet Wait, do you think his body is too small for his head or his head's too small? He's head's tiny Yeah, you look like someone said you look like a shrunken head you do. Yeah, which doctor got hold of you So wait, I hadn't grown into my head yet, but it was too small.

Wait, you're head having grown as you do. So my body had caught up with, no. No, I said it wrong. You were right. Yeah, I don't. Either way, it's the same thing I've learned. Either way, you look weird. Yeah.

And I still a little bit do. Now you don't look here. You look like, you could, I reckon if you walked around America and said, oh, loosely related to the rural family, I think people get so. Yeah, I think, I'm not saying I'm getting so. I just think people believe you. Oh, I think any American will believe anybody

with a British accent. I don't think they believe me. I think they will. I think they'll go like, like a you, Royale. Can you do that? Look at the Greek technology. Split screen. Oh, wait, how do Roy. Can you do that? Look at that. Look at the Greek energy. The Greek energy.

Split screen. Wait, how do I do the face? But look over this way a little bit. Looks towards me a little bit. Turn your head a little bit. Trust me. There you go. That looks straight ahead there.

Well, you're right. Oh, you're right. I can't do it. Why can't you replicate the thing that you... Because the mirror is in reverse. I'm doing adjustments, and I'm going the other way. Could you just get a stop looking at the monitor? That's your problem.

Yeah, and then I was looking at your finger, and you were like, straight, and I was like, what, are you a finger? And you're like, no. So look over here. Is that that hard? I know, yeah, if you... All right, I'm looking over there.

Let's do light now. And I'll point your eyes towards the camera. Hey, good. Oh, you like, so by straight, you met at the camera. Yeah. What do you think straight is when you're on the fucking set? Okay, look at my finger look straight Body posture. It's where your shoulders are centered on what you look at me so turn more to the right okay Take me right here and I said your eyes. I was clear. Yeah, you said my eyes. I clarified. Hey, gav do it again, but better

How about that? Just I learned that from a very popular director So is a good note. It really builds your confidence up as well. That was the only thing. What happens is, is you do do it better. Or you crumble and cry. Right. That was the other thing that got me about the,

ready player one stuff is people, the pre-hate before it came out is people, I feel like we're in a weird time right now, right? Where Steven Spielberg has had this very prolific career and is only making a couple of films before he retires. And people are gonna think that he's gonna fail at making a film at this point in his career. He's failed at making films.

I don't know, but I mean, it's like, there's gonna be a point in the future where he's not gonna be with us anymore. And we'll be like, can you believe we were alive at a time when we could go to the theater and watch a brand new Spielberg film that was going to be premiering? Yeah, well, yeah. My favorite part about last night, I was like, I want you to new Spielberg.

Right. It's crazy. And it was a very Spielberg movie. Yes, Jurassic Park is my favorite film, by the way. Do you know he made Jurassic Park and Schindler's list in the same year? How is that fucking possible? That's insanity. How is it possible?

I'm actually going to be mixed up a little bit. And it's going to be really, like? I'm actually if he got mixed up a little bit. It's kind of been a really, like if some of the reals got interchanged, that would be really weird. So the T-Rex. Yeah, the computer generated Oscar Schindler was really weird. Yeah. John Hammond's list. Was the guy that's having a trusted puck?

Hammond. When the Raptor's got out, then Ray Fine showed up. That's a really dark car. Super fast. Super fast. Man man Ray finds his performance in Schindler's list is fucking amazing terrifying that whole scene where he's talking to himself in the mirror. It's just like that's it's terrifying absolutely terrifying. Mm-hmm. But the variety headline about ready player one day literally said exactly what you're

saying Gus. It said that Ready Player One proves that Spielberg can still deliver a blockbuster. It's like, he's not proving anything to anybody, dude. Oh, no, he's not. He invented the blockbuster. Yeah, that's what he did. He was. Exactly. Summer blockbusters because of Steven Spielberg.

He viewed around the blocks for that film. He invented the blockbuster. What? He doesn't have to prove anything. No, why is it assumed that you get worse the more you do? I don't think you do. I think you just sometimes you do something really good, something not so good,

but you just carry on because of this industry and you love working in it. And that's, I mean, he's had some stinkers for sure, but it's still amazing. He's still still still working. Even he's stinkers. Like, what are you, what are you class, and is he stinkers?

Didn't he do the fourth Indiana Jones movie? Did he? Did he? Like, imagine that film just on his time. Yeah. Like, it's still just so that people go, oh, that's a fine film. What day?

Would you want him to direct a short-worst movie? Yeah. I feel like JJ Abrams is like the spiritual successor to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas somehow. Spielberg did the crystal skull. And yeah, I could see that. He's done some good work. And I think he's done a good variety of work too

that I've enjoyed in different ways. Like going from super eight to like a Star Wars kind of film. I think that shows some quite a bit of depth. But even if I had a Jay Jay Brems for a long time, you like the walls. Not as long as you. You'd be like, I go back all the way to Felicity. But even if I had a J.J. Brim's for a long time, you'd like to walk. Not as long as you. You'd like to be. I go back all the way to Felicity,

but he does things start really well and then you wonder where the hell are they going after a while. It's a TV sucks for that because it just kind of meander for a bit. But I think people are now there with Clover Field, the franchise, where the fuck is this thing headed? What am I in this for at this point? For entertainment, I'm fun.

I'm rewatching Lost right now. I don't think. Are you right now. I don't think. Are you really why? I don't think I've watched it since it went off the air. And I'm enjoying it so far. Okay, fair play. What did you do Lost Stop? Oh, four.

So it's like the same time that picture was taken. Oh yeah, one Lost Stop. Lost season one would have been on the air. It's crazy. What's the only old four? Cause I feel like we talked about it nonstop in the first year of the podcast. When we started the podcast, we started the podcast.

Oh, still on that. It was on for like seven days, wasn't it? Yeah, I think we went over to 10. Six years. Six years. Yeah. So if we started the podcast five years in, it was at the end of the year because we would have started as soon as we showed up in Congress, and that's not the case.

Yeah. We just went over all this for the party, 15th anniversary. That's what we anniversary. The writer strike we have interrupted when we would have been talking about it as well. E. Well, we can go back to see the date of the podcast when it started. Right. Yeah. The first podcast was December 8th. It was, it was, we started it to like did a podcast to promote launching achievement hunter is what we did. That's why it started. But then it didn't stop. It didn't stop full time until like May, 2009. We didn't release this. No. That's why it started. But then it didn't stop. It didn't stop full time until like,

May-09. We didn't release this. No. You just, That's why like a team of hundred started in July and we didn't start the podcast until December. Then we did the big bet though. When the bet was one of the first things we did.

Was that anything to do with achievement? Yeah, because it was the gamer score for Jeff. I mean, he wasn't directly saying achievement hunter, but it was to promote the fact that Jeff was going to get 10,000 gamer score. And it wasn't the first podcast, and we but it was to promote the fact that Jeff was gonna get 10,000 gamers score and I wasn't the first podcast. Didn't we do the Call of Duty one the Jeff and I were competing about I don't remember that would have been I mean, I know all remembers the first one was December I don't remember if the Call of Duty one was during that or not

That was a big gap between the first one and the next one. Yeah I think it didn't become weekly until May and then I don't think we've missed a week since May,09 Since we went to the weekly format. It's like this inevitable thing that you can escape from every week. You got to sit down and talk. It's crazy. Chronically, our lives are almost a decade now.

I was thinking that I was thinking, I like that I've been on these podcasts for so many years because I can look back and like see what I was up to in those years. And in my head, that's cool. I'm never gonna do it. I'm never going to listen to these. No. You might do, mate. What I'm 40? What I'm 50? 2040? No, in 2040. Yeah. But I don't think I'll have access to them.

Why not? Might be hard to find. I have files that I can't. Video files I can't watch, because I don't have the codec anymore. Devex. CinePack. Remember that codec? Yeah, it looked your face. Yeah, I went through a codec nightmare with us

in the early days. Yeah. We had codecs that were hardware locked. You needed to have specific video cards in your computer in order to watch it. Or there was also the Maytrox one where you could buy a USB dongle and you could not view these video files

unless you had the video card or a $300 USB dongle plugged in your computer. What kind of fucking bullshit is this? I feel like even the term codec isn't used anymore. Like do people using YouTube even know a codec is? It's that two six fours, a codec though. Do you know codec stands for? Codec?

Yeah. But I think like people won't even know what the word is anymore. Oh, yeah. I thought it was compression, decompression. Is it compression, decompression? No, I think it's codec. Codec?

Well, modem is modulation, demodulation. Yeah. It is. It's not. Yeah, compression makes more sense than coding. But yeah, that would make sense. Compression, decompression, totally makes sense. Codec is coder, decoder.

Oh, you got you, all right. Fuck, I was right. It should have stuck with my guns there. I'm never right over Gavin anymore. And now that was, I had it. I was in, that doesn't count. That doesn't count. I don't blame him.

How did you... Had that work? We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine.

We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. We were fine. with a go ahead. Sil Dena Phil. What is it? What is it? It is. It's easy to love on. Yes. How did you have that work? Works fine. Yeah.

Yeah. I was always curious. Did you notice the difference? Yes. You did. I did. All right. Fair play.

The difference from a normal love on. Sil Dena Phil. A libido difference. No. Or performance difference. A responsive difference. Does that matter? Does that make sense? Yes. Did it change your distance? No. I don't believe so.

You were more turgid. Yes. I feel like I'm being, I'm like under a quiz show. Like I'm being a person. Hey, you're the one doing these experiments. We're just trying to get the research out of you. I, I, I, I, I, I did the, I did the research. So you can create a business.

You can create a business. I just wanted to see what the website was like. I don't, I don't feel like it's something that I need, but I feel like, you know, with turning 40, it's like, that's where like, people start to wonder about those kinds of things. Okay. About wellbeing.

So last time James was here, he put a lot in my toilet. What a segue. But it's the Dicks. Boss. That was how I did that. Okay. How's your ass this time? Yeah, bar. That was how I did that. Okay.

How's your ass this time? Yeah. No, I was in trouble last night. I went to the barbecue. And from about two o'clock to five o'clock in the morning, this morning, it was honestly, it was mostly water. Just coming right out. The barbecue is not a sponsor of the restaurant. I every time you come in, I don't know.

Well, at least last time it wasn't water, last time you were able to pile up. It was some, yeah. It was so much. So for three hours, you do stuff for free. Honestly, yeah, because I could, and it was three hours of, like, okay, that's the end of that. Now I can go back to sleep. And then it was like, oh, no. But the thing is, I think you just don't eat enough during the day.

You have, I know, booze on every stomach, and then you put barbecue on it, and then booze. I just have one meal a day, sort of. Just smart move. I think you should have some bananas or something. Really, like, stop you up a little bit there. Do bananas tap you up? Yeah, they do.

I don't know that. I don't know. I think any kind of fruit. I just, I've got, I just think it on cherries. I just give it the run. Me to potatoes. Hmm. You like jack potatoes?

Is this a common thing with you? Do you get sick frequently? No, no, no, no. Just, the both times I've come to Austin, I've ended up spending most of it on the toilet. Should we be worried here on the podcast? I've said that scabby most of all we started. If I get through this podcast for shitting myself

I'm gonna do it success. That's the part that I set. So you can I read the text you said me this morning about? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noday course. And I'm doing all right, I'm doing it, I'm getting it. You see, they were taking anything to try to stop it. I'm always weirded out by some of that medicine. Like I said, you can take like, immodium, right? It just stops your guts from working. Back home, I loads the curry, loads of indoloo and stuff like that. And I feel a British food.

Vindaloo. It's a really hot curry. All right, I'm not eating that. It's one down from a foul. Fouls the hottest, then you got Vindaloo? Vindaloo. It's a really hot curry. All right, I'm not eating that. It's one down from a foul. Fowls the hottest. You got Vindaloo. Address. Not one curry.

Vindaloo's awesome. And we know that. We have a pH. Mild, hot, and then what they call Indian hot. That's where they describe it. Your Indian hot would probably be like a medium. Oh, fuck off. Not lying.

Really? And you can stomach all that. Yeah. But love our review. Yeah, just high fat content. Maybe that's what it is, yeah. It grills you can stomach all that. Yeah. But love barbecue. Yeah. Just high fat content. Maybe that's what it is, yeah.

Gris is you up. It does. It gets me old Lucy Gacy. So I have, I don't know what the name of it is, but we got three medications for the amazing race. And I kept all of them because they're hard to get medications. One was an anti-malaria drug. One was a very wide spectrum antibiotic.

And then the other was this anti-diarrhea medication. And they would tiny little pills. The anti-diarrhea thing to say, be getting trouble. So like you're in a foreign country, drinking some water and you have intense diarrhea, take one of these. If it's still bad, take two,

but just know if you take two, you pretty much paralyze your guts for like five days. Oh, good. Like it just shuts everything down. How does it do that? I don't know, I don't know. But I've kept them like in the back of my drawer to keep these things.

Most of the stuff is a variant of opiates. Oh yeah. You like heroin and opiates, they slow down your digestive system. So most of the time we take something like that, like an emotium or whatever that pill was, it's probably an opiate of some kind that doesn't get you high. Instead it just has the side effect where it shuts down your digestive system. So it's like heroin without the fun pot. Right.

When I've read that, some people who are really desperate for a high will take like hundreds of emotium pills because they have a tiny bit amount of what makes them high. But if they take like 300 pills, then you get high up. Right. Don't obviously do not do that. This is something that like, oh, so I'm pretty sure they're a pair of one arrow in that just collapse in and shitting themselves. Yeah. That seems like a thing that goes hand in hand. That's seen in train spotting, right? When he's coming down from heroin. Yeah, then you have to run to the toilet.

Just positive, yeah, it's awful. See, it's a dirty movie that one. Did you watch train spotting too? Anybody see it? I didn't, no. I didn't either. I love train spotting. I love train spotting, yeah.

I feel like I just kind of, the second one came out, I just kind of missed it. Me too. Bro, it's too light, you know what? So, train spotting, bandwagon, left. Left the stage, yeah. Getting a few messages on Twitter, people telling me that I was born in the year of the ox.

I'm born in January, so that is before the lunar calendar rolls over. So I was born in the year of the rat, which is the previous year on our calendar. I was in the lunar calendar. But I was like, oh, you know, when he's new years, different. It's always the same. It's in February. Yeah, yeah. So appreciate the information, but you are racist.

Thank you. Man, I had a, I'm getting tired of arguing with people online. So futile. Don't play CFT with randoms. I, I got to, of course, I got no argument with this guy the other day. I, I retweeted this Newsweek article that talked about how more children have been killed by guns in the United States since Sandy Hook

than military service members in all of our conflicts since 9-11. And someone replied to me like, that is 100% wrong. You need to learn to do some research, don't just blindly accept facts. There's no way the numbers higher than this. So I go through the article and I copy and paste the exact like where the research comes from, why the numbers are correct and send it back to him and then no reply. It's like the dude who tells me to research

and a double check my facts ignores the facts that I just sent to him. Like and I see I know he's read it because he's made other tweets since then. I'm like, I keep you spending too much time on that. I keep going back to my side. I'm fucking profiled and looking, and there's no acknowledgement.

I've got my rights to it. I don't, I just like, he has the audacity to tell me to fucking research and check my facts and his facts are wrong. I sent him, I showed him. You got a rise above it. I've been rising above it for years. That would be my advice to Trump.

Rise above it. Rise above it. Why is no one saying, stop replying to these people and stop saying this stuff from saying that. You're the president, right? So just rise above it a little bit. You know, we used to say president was the most powerful position in the free world.

I don't know that that's the case anymore. So what would that be? Who's got that job now? In the world? Yeah. The Avert that before, right? President's most powerful. So lead of the free world.

Lead of the free world, yeah. Yeah, I got kind of thing. So the American exceptionalism. It's either I think they's the people. Pugnaw the President of China at this point. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Who now does not have term limit correct He just changed they just revoked term limits. So he's basically really clever

It's a good way to get reelected It's cool. I would do if I got voted in you know through democracy I'd go oh, by the way, we're scrapping all that yeah, let's forget about all that. Oh, I'll just I was the last one It was all just led up to me and then we're done. You, let's forget about all that. Oh, just the last one. It was all just led up to me and then we're done. You promise you'll do a good job. I will do the best job that I can do. Yeah, and if you don't, then what else can you say?

Do it again, but better. Or, you know, go over it, because there's no more voting. Well, you guys have one of the longest standing leaders in the free world. By far, Queen Elizabeth, I don't know if she's an active part of the government, but she's obviously a leader. I think technically she forms the government. Yeah, I think tokenistically she has to be involved. Yeah, well like she has a minute, so whatever it is, the sort of meeting with the Prime Minister

every week. I don't know what they're talking about, because she's awesome. She's a gift to the world. I love her. I'm on some photo-perfiring a mounted machine gun today from a bunch of us in the army. No, just like they were showing her a demo, and she walked over to me and started fucking fuck her.

Really? Yeah, it's real? It's pretty cool. Yeah. I can look it up. I can look it up. Yeah, the Queen inspects an SA80 assault rifle. Is that what it was from November 2016? All right, let's see that.

I'm trying to see if I can do that. I don't think she do that today. That might not be that's from ages ago. Yeah, that's a lot of 70s. Yeah, it's an old photo. So it's about us. She's doing that. Yeah, I don't know. it's cool. I just think it'd be kind of crazy if she did it now. It might stop her heart. Well, what is it like it's about time? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You don't like the Royal Family that much. No. I think they're great. Why don't you like the Royal Family? You come from the night you got this? Yeah, of course. Whenever I talk about this, when I'm in America,

someone sends me some video from YouTube that an American made saying, oh, the Royal Family actually makes you guys money, that it's not the case. It's really not the case at all. They're doing okay. They're doing fine out of being the royal family and they, you know, they do cost us money a promise. And I just don't like, you know, they get, they don't have any inheritance acts and things like that and there will just be rich forever and it keeps... Fiber. That's right, yeah.

It just keeps the status quo. It really does keep the class system in it back home. And it's getting worse and worse, and the divide is getting worse and worse. The richer are getting richer, and the poorer are just having a terrible time. And the Queen sort of represents that. The royal family, they keep all that tradition.

And it's like, I mean, I feel like I'm in the country where I should be able to say this sort of thing because you guys fought a great big massive war because you were going, well, hang on, why do we keep giving this family money that don't do anything? I just don't like the idea of someone being great by birth, not by marriage.

Yeah, it shouldn't be the idea of someone being great by birth, not by Mary. Yeah, it shouldn't. It shouldn't be the case. It should be equal for everybody. Everyone deserves the same start, the same sort of aspirations in life. I mean, I know that's not the case. What if there was a lottery to be the royal family? And like when the current monarch dies, it's a lottery. You don't want to enter that at birth?

Basically, for everyone in the UK can buck, it gets one ticket. I mean, your name gets drawn out of the big hat, then you get to move into Buckingham Palace. And I know it's just too much. You better open that up. They'll change the plan. So many people living on the streets

and something, just gone land, just sitting there, just making their money. But that's what's in this YouTube video, as well, they go, oh, the royal family actually surrendered some land over the government to pay off a debt. And I believe me, they've got so much land. It's like a tiny bit of their land. Like the entire Crown Estate is bloody massive.

Yeah. And all they do is make money from the country that they don't pay any tax to live in. Like, it's just, it's. I thought they'd currently pay any tax to live in. Like it's just it's the current. He takes you having a laugh. And yeah, no, no, no, no, it's, it's, it's there. It's all there. The system is all there to keep them rich, to keep them making more money and to,

to keep this thing going forever and ever and ever until people go. So if the stuff, let's stop all this stuff. So historically, that does not go very well for royal families when people finally decide to change things. So it was like, all right, we're all family's done, we don't have one anymore. Well, if you can palest it, we're the only people. But like, what would you have?

So it's your hotel. So that's the hotel we have is like, oh, that's the cool English thing that we're gonna use. All right, I know that's the thing as well. Well, just London, yeah, like the whole thing. Yeah, fish, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, People go to see the, you know, Bucky and Palace because they're in London. They never went to London. Nobody makes the trip specifically for that. Yeah, I have to get, I have to lay my eyes on Bucky and Pals,

which by the way, will still be there. Yeah, of course it will. Tell me it's my hotel. Well, don't you want to get nighted one day? You can make more money that way, right? That's what you know. No, why? Just move, Barlim, in it.

You make a lot more money that way. Turn Bucky and Pals into a hotel. It's it. Charge a little extra bun. The Kogi Suite. Yeah. But you know, I really do identify with this because when you look and say Trump, for instance,

he's the president I say, he's was elected into that office and he owns all this stuff, right? He owns all these things and then can direct government funds towards it or trips or something like that or put people in resorts. And that feels gross when you read about it. Well, I mean, it's just, you know, the fella that was in charge before Obama and he had financial

interests in munitions and oil and he did all that stuff that he did. About George W. Yeah. Yeah. And you sort of think, oh, is there a conflict of interest here? Yeah. Because we'll take a chainy, I don't know if you know who Dick Cheney was. Yeah. He's the worst. Like the, one of the, I don't know what his position, one of his important directors for Halliburton or a former executive at Halliburton and then they became the number one

contractor during the Gulf War. Yeah, that's awful. Like, George Bush, Sonnetport was involved in like security and stuff, you know, home security and things like that. And you just think, well, you're creating all this work for yourself, all this money. And the crazy thing is, you know what I just read recently, like in this, like, it's like we live in this, like, this information, like gaslighting spiral now. I just read Gus that people on the right feel that CNN led us into the Gulf War by misleading people about weapons of mass destruction.

And my recollection from that was not at all. I thought it was the CIA. He called the power and we were being told that they were weapons from mass production. And standing up from a Congress and pointing at the stuff and everything and it's like, I remember Kundalis a rice. It was all CNN.

Yeah, it was all CNN. It was like, really? Is that, I don't know. We were there as well. It's only blue, it's telling us, you know. We got, we got rid, there's weapons there. There's weapons. Yeah, they're there.

They're there. But also, I don't know how much to blame him. Like, did he get lied to by our side? Like, where did, where did that misinformation come from? He's got some blood on his hands. Don't worry about that. He left, you know, hopefully one day he left to stand up and answer for what he's done. About a couple of years.

Justice. It's really weird. You know, how do you find someone who can run a country without any type of potential personal conflict? So you take money out of it. Take money out of politics. Yeah. I mean, like, the person that wins the presidential election in this country is the person that spends the most money on their campaign.

Truth is, sadly, it's just a person who gets the most people to show up and vote, so few people vote in this country. But it's always, what's your choice? What, you know, and then Trump gets in. And I think most people voted for Trump

because they were like, well, definitely they want Hillary, so, but Trump's obviously never gonna be come president, that's insane. But I'll vote for him to go, well, I voted for Trump. That's how desperate I was. And then they say, with Brexit. Yeah, it's gonna be the exact same thing. Yeah, that's what we heard about Brexit as well.

And then it happens. Oh, no. Oh yeah. Yeah, they got to follow through this as well. And then it happens. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, you got to follow through. People just want change. People are not happy with the system that we've got now. And if there is an option for something to be different, they'll go, well, what's the worst that can happen?

I'll go for something different. In the last thousand years, the world has got fairer or less fair. What does it mean? Exactly the same. Yeah, from or less fair What does exactly the same? Yeah, from like people just killing people in the street and being like Whatever people are still being killed in the street, but I think it's exactly the same When it comes to those sort of social I feel there's more platforms now where people can kick off about something I think there's probably there's the internet I think there was probably more disparity a thousand years ago because I'm sure back then you had a much smaller group

controlling the money, and it was a much larger group who just worked land that they didn't own. And surely, in the past, any form of protest, you could just send out a bunch of people just to beat them all to death and then just come back inside and they would be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I mean, how do they do that now? Black people were slaves and stuff like that. I'm trying to see if I can do it in countries we live in. Right. I mean, there are countries in the world

where that happens and then, yeah, they disappear. I'm really bombed or gassed. You know, what is that? I'm trying to find stuff that happened in the year, 2018. That's, I'm not familiar with. It's not a good from February 6, 2003, ironically on CNN.com, US Secretary of State,

Colin Powell used electronic intercepts, intercept satellite photographs and other intelligence sources. Wednesday in an effort to commit skeptical members of the UN Security Council that Iraq is actively working to deceive UN weapons and inspectors. Can't just read that just brings back all those memories. You know for when we started red versus blue It's so funny. It's like lost a time now, but that was February 6, 2003. We started Reverse Blue April 1st of 2003. We were actually worried that it was inappropriate to have a war-based comedy show, because the war started, I think, six days before Reverse Blue debuted, and we thought that people were going to think we were making a commentary on the war. And in America, especially post-9-11, that would have been...

That was it, it was about 9-11 gets. Bad news. Glazed over a little bit. Because it's sort of like, oh, I thought you were just going after the guy that did that terrorist attack. You know, by all means, go after him and try him or whatever. But you just got convoluted, this thing, it was like, oh, but we also have to go to Iraq. It kind of grew. Do you have to go to Iraq?

Yeah, go go to Iraq now. Do you know what stuff? Book fast abbey is? No. Okay, I guess some church in the UK, it was founded in 2018. Oh, so that was, that's been there a thousand years.

The biggest thing that happened that year, but the only thing that I could possibly say we could relate to, unless you know that the leader of the remaining Bulgarian resistance is Ivoz is treacherously blinded and captured by strategos, someone from the Byzantine Empire. Sounds like a fanfiction. Who is the first person who decided that history should be written now? Someone at some point has been like, you know, it's gone, wasn think it was good. It's gone, wasn't it?

Well, God obviously invented books so that people could do it. But yeah, someone at some point must have been like, we need stuff recorded long beyond my life. I think I'll start doing it. There probably would have been like songs, right? Because that's the way people would have told stories.

Because most people weren't literate. I think history is just accidentally discovered, isn't it? What do you mean accidentally discovered it? Someone finds a donor somewhere. I don't think anyone would go. Well, I'm going right, diary discovered, isn't it? What do you mean accidentally discovered? Someone finds a diary somewhere. I don't think anyone got it right, diary. Oh, because it's just a personal thing.

I don't think anyone goes. Do you think the first piece of history was a diary? I'm not saying it was the, whoa, it's obviously cave paintings and things like that. Do you think there's someone who is literally recording current history? Like that's a person's job gap? Like there's everyone going, I'm writing our current history. Well, no, because we have archives, not everything. Everything's documented, but they don't go. Oh, we should document this in case I've what well like no one thinks that far ahead

Yeah, someone just like you can see what the weather was like on a day in like 1904 I know Well, yeah, because someone wrote it down The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with Sumerian Kuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the proletariat period around the 30th century BC. 30th century BC?

Yes. 30th century. 3000 BC. Wow, that goes back farther than I thought. Well, you said 5000 is a year. Yeah, I'm not making, okay. Let's see, let me say the math works out. Thanks than I thought. Well, you said 5000 years ago. Yeah. Okay. The same as the math works out. Yeah, but I I remember that we have an enormous amount of

Babylonian scripts, I believe, to manuscripts that are in Sanskrit. And we've only translated like 2% of because because there's nobody cares, because there's too many. And I'm sure it's like boring. It's like stuff that has no relevance. It's probably like somebody trading a goat or something like that. Or it's probably like that one that came out a few years ago was like somebody complained about the quality of copper

that they bought. It's like, okay. Life that we're missing something really good in there. Like invented cancer, cured it. I think someone would put that on the top. Well, how would they know if they haven't translated it? I would know sure it. I think someone would put that on the top. They don't have to even translate it yet. I don't know about it. I think they'd keep that around that sort of knowledge.

And it got lost to Seth. He got lost. You got lost. I wonder if you remember that cure for cancer? We had lost it. It's so inconvenient. It's another language now. We got to break out the book.

We got to go to Google translate. You're like, oh. Okay, should you question? What? I'm gonna change subjects here. How come, where I'm on my mobile phone, and I'm on my web browser, and I go to websites, they constantly bug me to get their app.

So I get the app, get the app, get the app. Finally, after probably a few months of going to one website, I'm like, all right, you know what, I'll get the app. Then I get the app few months of going to one website, I'm like, all right, you know what, I'll get the app. Then I get the app. Then the problem flips on me. The problem flips because then I can't ever get back to my web browser from the fucking app. Every app has built in like a fake version on it just upflings you to the app. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's such, it's just like they put you in a fake version of the website

and then nothing looks right, you know, or fake version of a web browser. Nothing looks right. And it also then, if you go to something else, a link from there, it's a YouTube video, it plays and that's like, I don't wanna play it in this, I wanna play it in the YouTube app and if you would have just sent this thing to my browser, it would have sent me to the fucking app.

They're trying to trap you in a video system. It's like this flip problem of like, they bug me all the time when I'm in the browser and you get the fucking app, when I'm in the app I can get out of the fucking app. I feel like American Airlines does that sometimes, where you wanna change seats and if some reason you gotta just look at American Airlines dot com through the app I could get out of the fucking app. I feel like American Airlines does that sometimes where you wanna change seats and if some reason you go

to just look at American Airlines.com through the app and you just see like a dog shit browser that doesn't work, it's all clunky. Just send me to the fucking cromers, whatever I'm using on my phone. I also don't understand why, that's sorry. Button in the browser that says request desktop version because sometimes you can't do something

on the mobile version of it, website. That is this fictional. Thatite. That is fictional. That has never worked for me. If you ever got that button to it. It works sometimes. Yeah. It's like sometimes the website will override it. And even if you request it, it's like, no, you don't get it.

What's the point? Yeah. What's the point? You're right. Like this right, I finally got the reddit app. And I'm always like, I have to copy shit and then go to Safari and paste it in there. Because anytime I click on the link, that's all reddit is. It's just links to other shit.

That's all it is. And they had to build their own little crappy version of a web browser and it keeps me inside of their app because they don't want me going somewhere else. I fucking hate that. I refuse to use their stupid ass app. Donald Blamey dude. It's pretty good though.

No, fuck that. I got my web browser. Still don't know what red it is. Slits. You're good man. Like you're good. Good man. People keep talking about red. People are talking about red. No, like good man. Like we keep talking about right people about that.

No, what it means or Pinterest. Pinterest is I don't really think I've ever used that. I don't know what any of this is. It's like mood boards sort of stuff in it. See, this is the type of stuff that will hopefully get lost. This discussion, or you mean that? 5,000 years from now, this is going gonna be the 2% and they're gonna say, you know what, we don't need to look at anything else.

We're gonna be the rest of it. We got the gist of it. You know what I always thought? You know what I always thought? You know what I always thought was so creepy. Was Dan's granddad used to keep score of his free cell games. He'd write down his final score. Yeah. But he'd obviously played 15,000 games.

So it's the point where it's like notepads just full of numbers. And this is like a serial killer. Oh, he wouldn't even keep it on the computer. He would write it down. He would write it down on the notepad. Clearly he had a computer if he's playing free cell, right?

But it's like, what are you writing it for? And what are you gonna go and look back at him? How old was he at that point. 70. Yeah. So when she gets that each, I think you just do whatever you want. That being said, one of the most frustrating things in my career at Ruchiteeth is that for the first 10 fucking years, really for the first eight years of the company, we only had one show, basically one show.

Is it about backups? Dude, I kept backups of everything, Gus. Do you remember that? Everything was organized. It was part of the pipeline, the production. We had to collect everything, then put on the drives, and then split it on two drives, and keep the drives in different locations.

And then... There were also disks you would burn as well, on top of redundancy. I did, and so the first part of the documentary is I'm actually trying to go back and find old footage, and Adam is going through, and I see the fucking drives Disks you would burn as well. I did. I did. I did. And so the first part of the documentaries I'm actually trying to go back and find old footage and Adam is going to and I see the fucking drives because I had a copy of my house of all these stacks of hard drives and a copy at work.

And then about what, five years ago, somebody said, Hey, we understand you have copies of the drives at home. You can't have those. We just need for security purposes. We got to have those in the office and the tech guy, so I was like, well, okay, I go, this is some of the old RVB production stuff. Why did you say, okay. Just because I was like, oh, I can get these out of my house,

you'll take care of them. Okay, literally three months later, we needed them, couldn't find them, they were gone. Immediately, as soon as I turned them in, they disappeared. And the first part of the doc, I literally said, we're screening it, we get to this part where Adam Ellis is going through and looking through bins and he's finding these old hard drives

and he goes, I don't know, they never really kept records of anything. I guess Gus did all these backups and I went, go fuck yourself. I said, no, I was in the meeting. I was like, so furious about it. I was like, yeah, never took credit for that. I don't know why.

I got it all, I guess Gus did this and I was like, you fucked son of a bitch. I remember seeing you, the hard drive stacks of work. Yep, yeah, everything. Everything. I had it all. I gave it a brand and he was like, people give one in the chat,

I think on the website, Mr. Good was asking, why would you keep it in two separate locations? And it was a case of like fire or something happened to one of the locations. I just read this on Reddit in their crappy version of the web browser, this story that they don't know

who invented the fire hydrant because the paper patent records were destroyed in a fire. They couldn't look up when they last had a hurricane because their hollow records was blown away. That's straight out of like a Simpson style joke. The answer to that is I think you carry with you when you have previous jobs, you carry those things forward with you to your next job. The guy we used to work for at the call center, additionally, he had a secure storage facility

for data tapes and records for lawyers and doctors and stuff like that. I learned a lot about data archiving and the security of things from that. Just seemed like normal procedure to me to have a double backup. Yeah, he had worked in the telecom industry for a long time and the telecom industry's very good about redundancy and fail safes and backup plans. Sure, what's happening at Facebook?

Yeah. So little piece of advice for anybody out there. If you ever get a crisis, you ever work anywhere? Some people's first reaction is to delete emails. Never fucking do that. And they will, lawyers will tell you that if there's ever a crisis showing up saying, nobody delete emails.

Because they don't see the way they're recently deleted emails. And if you, yeah, if you, if you, they show that people are deleting conversations, then they're like, oh, the other teams like, well, there you go, right there. And apparently Facebook has been caught now. They're deleting internal conversations about things and somehow this has come to light. Maybe somebody inside of Facebook, let people know about

that's a huge fucking red flag, huge red flag. Don't ever, don't ever do that. They have a lot of fucked up things going on over there right now. Yeah, I do. I mean, there was a, first it was the Cambridge Analytica thing. And then there was the story that Ars Technica broke, which I talked about the other week, where someone discovered that if you had Facebook installed on your Android phone, that it was logging your text messages and your phone calls, Facebook came out and denied it, and then Ars Technica was like, well, here's the proof. And then Facebook said, oh yeah, we were doing that.

It's like, what? Sorry, everybody. No, they didn't apologize. They said, oh no, the users agreed of that.. What? Sorry, everybody. And didn't apologize. They said, oh no, the users agreed to that. It's in the terms of service. Good, Lord. So did, do we know if Mark Zuckerberg wanted that to be done? Did he want to track people's texts and calls? I'm sure they're just gathering more data. So then I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. I just warned you guys about that. I put no more on the new day.

Now, what did I have on this? You mean by pictures? Like personal stuff, yeah. Like, yeah, I was on Facebook. I've, yeah, I've pretty much, I'm, I'm, I'm in the process of getting rid of all my shit on Facebook. And, you know, I have like an official Gus Facebook page. And I post it on there like, hey, I'm, I'm just gonna

get my Twitter account. I'm not gonna be updating this anymore. I'm probably gonna delete it. And there were a lot of people who got really mad at me saying, like, if I don't have anything to hide, I shouldn't care if Facebook's going through my stuff. Is that what? I don't know.

What is this argument? That is the worst. I hate that as well. It's just, you know, that's the beginning of the end. When countries start going, you know, oh, we're gonna stop and search just because we can. And then if you go,

well, I've got nothing to hide. It's not about that. It's not about that at all. You need to have your right to privacy, your right as a human being. Doesn't matter if you've got anything to hide or you don't have anything to hide, these people don't have the right.

I just thought it was a shitty move on their on Facebook's part to be doing that. I was like, and I choose not to. It's like a terrorism act. It's like, you know, they're allowed to just arrest you and detain you if they just go, well, we think it's a terrorist. It shouldn't be like that. You got rights.

You're people. You're being. Let me ask you this, James Buckley, star TV and film. How do you feel about CCTV cameras that are in you, so over the UK? In what context? Just like all the streets are monitors. That's just way more there than there are here.

We don't, we don't really have that. Yeah, yeah. We have traffic cameras, which is fucking lame. It is, you know, it is very, it is all wellian. And it is, you know, I do, I do think there is a difference between just being just a CCT, a CCT became, walking down the street. Public space? Yeah. So somebody, yeah, I feel like I go through my personal correspondence and things

like that. Yeah, there's a difference because it's in public. I certainly want CCTV in my bedroom, you know. But if it's not in the street where I am and someone could attack me, I'd be glad of CCTV. Yeah, your bedroom, that's for Amazon. But that is the rates to that. It is sort of the same thing. You get to a point where you go,

oh, you know what, I will put a microchip in my child. So I know where it is. Right. I saw that in a little black mirror. So I got that. And I saw that in a black mirror. So actually I actually had a moment like that as a parent where,

and I'll never do this again. I sent out my kids as kids account and it's hard to graduate someone from a kids account to an adult account, even on Xbox or a Microsoft account. And on Windows 10, my youngest kid is now 13, but back when he was 10, I sent him up as a kid account based on my account.

And then, without me, it was just been a default option. Without me selecting it or going out and looking for it, suddenly at the end of the week on a Sunday, it says, hey, here's everything your kid did this week. I'm on the computer and I'm like, I don't want this. I mean, he's 10, so it's like, he's a little bit under the age of when I think he should have total privacy,

but I was like, I didn't ask to have this report on my kid telling me what they're doing. And also, it's like, it's logging it somewhere that somebody else can read that as well. I got really just kind of grossed out by that, even though he's only 10 years old. Yes, it's sort of vulgar, isn't it? It's just, it's not in good size.

It's just quite funny that people were so worried back when technology was getting big that they were gonna track everyone. They were gonna put devices on people and then everyone just buys their own devices. Yeah, and by the way, I think Facebook was working on a smart speaker to compete with like the Apple HomePod and the Alexa and they had to like put it on hold.

They're like, yeah, we're gonna, we'll wait on that, unreleasing that device. Who was doing this? Facebook. Oh yeah, good luck with that. I mean, for a while, the only reason I was using Facebook was just to talk to my old friends in England.

It was like the only contact tied with them. That's why I had it. Yeah, let me read this other thing here. No, when I'm in there, when this episode received podcast is also brought to you by Movement. What a great gift for your 15th anniversary. A watch.

They should put a rack of sunglasses right by the door that leads out of here. Oh, yeah, because it is You don't realize how your vision adjusts to being in the studio with no natural light and then you open that door and it's like the surface of the sun You can't see anything. It's like the opposite of the door and it's like the surface of the sun. You can't see anything. It's like the opposite of the basket of umbrellas that you just take when it's raining. Yeah, you just grab just the sun. I'm glad this is the right thing.

I forget about how bright it stays late here. So anytime we're done with the podcast on Monday, when I walk out, I'm always shocked at how much sun there still is. Can you get content? And I'm just shocked. Oh, it's seeing the sun at any point. And it's all, everything in Austin is just white for somebody.

It's like all the chalk, everything's made of bright material. So it's like, can you? Lime stone, how do you know whatever? Yeah. What color is that? It's like white. It's like, it's lime. Can you get contacts that dim that close down like a, yeah, I don't know.

That's not pretty cool though, because it makes your eyes good dark. Be wicked. Man, I'm sure I, what would you rather have? Would you rather have automatic dimming or contacts that give you night vision? I'll expand here. Would you rather have contacts that give you night vision? Contacts that dim and make things where they're,

you know, you know, the sun without having sunglasses. Or would you rather have earpiece that does universal translation? Can I throw in a fourth one? Go ahead. Did I prefer more than anything? Go ahead. I would like eyelids that could sort of armor over

and not let any light through. Why? Because you have trouble sleeping? Yeah. So I can sleep in the day. He wears a mask on planes. Just get those masks. Oh yeah, I mean, just get contacts.

I mean, just get glasses. Oh yeah. How do I'm context. I mean, just get glasses. Oh yeah. How do I'm what you talking about? No. So you can sleep in a bright room. Yeah, sleep in a bright room. You see, you get one of those sleep masks. Right.

But what would you rather have built in like context? Would you have to like manually shut it? Like you close your eyes and then you got to like flip them down. Now all of those options that you had, the sleep mask was the easiest. Yeah, really. You can already get night vision. You could have been...

I would have been a universal translate, I heard that. I mean, you've already got a problem that someone's got a solution for that. Well, night vision, you can just buy night vision goals. Of course. Sure. Which is more expensive. More practical. More practical.

The military's worth it. Yeah, they're easy to get hold of. So, if an eye mask is too queer or whatever if I'm on a plane I forgot it I I'm just awake for the whole flight Well, what you want someone to say I want to be able to go and My eyes dark go dark. Okay. Hey, so I do it watch ready No, no over you can still see stuff

How many fingers are my holding up Not a lot. You can see some pink fuzz probably some dude You you need to get out of your own head that all that shit is there in my eyes I just don't pay attention to it. I fall asleep. Yeah, what is this? I mean, I'm staring right at the light with my eyes closed But then look at this look at look right into the light look what yeah, and then wait You can hit me I'm gonna do this and it's distracting when you trust sleep. How do you sleep? Do you sleep face up like this on a plane? No, I go it might Who's the longest way being their hand in front of you on a plane?

I sleep like this on a plane. Is that one for you? How's that gonna what hey? Do your balls come through your jeans? Oh my god, do you ever have that this is certain happening? I get like a whole what's this whole night? What is that? That's the first bits of going you James? It is. It just wears a while you look at that, look at that gav can bend over it shut. Oh my god It's just I don't know what is why is that is anything right? That's true guys. Yeah, I've never had that happen You're gonna I don't have I don't know what you're talking about can you explain to me so I just like very short part where the theme

Of your crotch is yeah, good. You're there's You're probably saying just it's as if someone's been doing that your parents have problems already figure I mean, you know on jeans like on your jeans don't have little I go this way Do you should do you have little metal circles on some of the stitches? Like look at your pocket Why isn't there one in the gooch hole because they would hurt there? That's a stretch hold Your credit your wallet They're wanting the Gooch hole because they've heard that that's a stretch. Right. Hold. Hold your cram with your ball. What the f**king crew.

It's always on the side where I hang I hang more on the right side. So why isn't there a little stability disc there? Yeah, what do they build like an area in for like one way or the other? I was like, you want left handed or right handed. I was I was doing a job once and you know, you have a big a whole walled road crew and they're all that band that' that's so in and stuff like that. I took in about three or four pairs of jeans. Just so up to the dark.

He's so, he's up for it. I love these jeans so much and they're going. They're going, yeah, sure. I have a shirt that I love that has, it's a little pearl snap shirt and that part on the sleeve that's open and it started to rip and it's slowly and I used to roll it up and I'm not keeping up with it.

Like it's now ripped all the way up to here. And I should just have somebody in the wardrobe who apartment sewed up for me, but I feel like it's rude to ask. You gotta wait for that. It is rude to ask. Is it? We're just going, you can just go get it done for,

and paste someone's there. But it's easier, it's more convenient. They're right here. Yeah, that was it, that was the point. I just thought, a job for personal clothes fixes. But it's their job. I really love this shirt and you'd be really, you know, you'd be really helping me out

if you could do this. What monster wouldn't go, well, I have the power to, but I'm not. But that's the whole point. No one's going to feel like they can say no. So you're basically forcing them to do something. They probably don't really want to do.

See, I felt that way when we recently had a steak cooking competition on the podcast, I won't go into who wanted, but there's Trevor right there. And I asked the metalworking crew over in the art department. I asked him to sharpen my knives because I thought if they had sharper knives, it would make the steak seem more tender. And I felt bad about it. It's only brought in three knives. That's all I brought in.

And then he got them like razor sharp. And he said, yeah, just bring the rest of your knives in. I'll sharpen them up. I'm like, I'll do that. Okay. So it's kit didn't it. It's cool. Pucks.

It's just like a job of what, you know, it's bothering someone. I was in a situation where I needed something and I was working with someone that could have helped me out. So I just took it from it. And you would return the favor, somebody came to you and asked you, if you had any skills that people could take advantage of.

Yeah, they need some maxing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. If they need something said, but better. You can give us some acting. Do you see my socks? Why, why I found a website that makes socks where you can upload photos of your dogs. That's actually pretty well made.

Yeah, those are good. Those are good. I've just kind of had it with dogs. Kind of uploaded. I have not had it with my dogs. So I put it in my dog. You know what I like about your dogs? I don't see them.

I've been out with you and it's like, you don't bring the dogs along with you. No, no, it's the home. Yeah, I go places now and everybody's bringing their dogs everywhere. I'm done with it. I don't want wanna see your dogs. Is there anybody here in particular at Rastuthio Maddo? Nobody in particular, no.

But it's like I go to a restaurant and it's like, I just fucking dogs hanging out there, you know? And I got, I gotta wear shoes and I gotta wear pants. And the dog doesn't have to. He's, he's like, what is it? Are you on about dogs and pants? No, that was my ex-wife. I know, she's so on.

She thought all, all boy dogs should wear pants in public. She was that serious about it to you. It must be like someone bringing their kids to work every day. It's a little bit like that, like tiny little kids though. And I think that you're super happy about it too. And it's like, I occasionally... I get the kids stink and are shitting everywhere. That's my kids.

And there's like, there's occasionally somebody will bring their dog to work every now and then. I'm thinking about auto, in particular, Alan's dog auto. I love auto. I get so excited every time I see auto, because I don't see auto every day, you know? I don't see him every day.

It's a treat, it's an event, you know? Why can't he bring cat's to work? It's exactly, why can't he? We actually had a cat here and he got thrown out. Cat's started to smell. The cat was pissing all over the light. Oh she listen that's that was one time one it was Patrick No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it was an ongoing thing. No, not a 66 in a Congress. Joe the cat was that Congress? Yeah. No, you talk about a

Joe the cat, Fitch, Fitch, where Fitch, Fitch was in Buida. He was in both. Fitch made the move. You had you had a cat. No, you had Joe in Congress. We did have Joe the cat because he'd sit on the stairs and people would stop and say, hello, yeah, I have videos of me petting Joe at Congress. That's true. Joe the cat was there. In fact, one of the, he's sitting on the blue couch. The arm of the, that was his avatar for a long time. He's sitting on the arm of that blue IKEA couch that we had. And remember, the most Joel, were you sitting with Joel? I think I put that couch together. I remember that we, I remember putting all those desks together. I love to, it's like 15 years at this company.

I love when I come across something and I'm like, that's where that ended up. Like, I just saw something the other day that was, it was something we had back in Congress and it was like 10 years ago and I said, I don't know what the path it took to get from there to here. I like somebody's office.

That was jobs, like I was just assigned to do some like tiny little things back in the day. Can you just sort this out, because no one can be bothered to do it? What are those dumpsters for an Xbox? Oh, that was one of them. Go see if it's on any of these streets and then any of these alleys.

One of them was, we don't use it, but can you email YouTube from a Rupertith email address and get the Rupertith email, the Rupertith YouTube account? Yeah, I was like, yeah. I remember that was at the beautiful apartment. Yeah, I did it. And then there was like, here's the login information.

I was just like, there you go. You were sitting at the bar behind like the stove, right? You were sitting up there. You put like glass us and 11 part in shit on my. Yeah, I remember that. So yeah, while I was dodging terrible death felt backgrounds. There's Joe the cat, absolutely Joe the cat.

That was not it. That looks like it's 636. That's the annex cat absolutely Joe the cat. That was not that's that's it That looks like it's six or six. That's the annex. I think yeah, what a good cat no longer with us unfortunately Too bad Joe the cat has departed that's that yeah very sad very sad Good guy good guy though. I had him 12 years People people didn't chat. We're asking how old it was yeah, we was a good cat. I'm sad about that. I'm sad about it too As she's very sad about I don't know what I'm at the point where I was a good get I'm sad about that. I'm sad about it too. Actually, he's very sad about it I don't know what and I'm at the point where I was a

God damn man. I never I grew up without pets Dad was allergic to cats and that so I didn't get a pet until I was like 18 so all of the pets I've ever had or alive Which means I'm not ready to deal with pet death. Yeah, I've never dealt with it. Really? At 30, going on 30, excuse me? Yeah, I mean, I'm, you know, thinking about, you know, like you get a friend, it's just, it's not something I've dealt with before. No, you never mentioned something. My mum and dad got a dog when I was seven

saying that was the first time we got a pet. Yeah. And it just died like a few weeks ago. Really? Yeah. And I just don't think I'm an animal person. Just didn't care. Because I called my mum for something else.

And I just said, oh, how's it going? She went, well, you know, you know, we're hanging in there. And I was like, well, what happened? She's like, you know, in Broxie's died. I went, yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah. I don't know whether you've, yeah, no, I know. Quasadently, where's that thing, though?

I've made the phone call into that Just seeing how you're holding up. She was like yeah, we're gonna, you know, we're gonna have a cremated and put her on the But I knew I'd been text a couple of days before saying, you know, the time has come. We've had to put her down Yeah, but I just was like oh, I said shame So what else is going on? You know just moving on. So have you had a pet of your own die? No. Well, I mean, that pet was sort of mine. I mean, I was still at home when it was bought and I walked it until I moved out when I was about 21, 22.

Bloody hell. You know, they're just a pain in the ass, and they're like, right, you love them, whatever, but no one needs them. I don just, you know, they're just a pine in the ass and they're like, right, you love them, whatever, but... No one needs them. I don't think you love enough. Where do you love small? I've got a dog.

He's got your head. Well, yeah, I have the kids, but I think if your dog died, you'd be like, it's like the queen and dogs. Tell you what, she's the dog I've got. She's a pine in the ass. She's a real, She's not clever. Well, I got really upset with my dog when I was a kid died. I hit by a car. So it's pretty traumatic.

But like what? I got it. You just phrased it really weird. Did I? He said when you were a kid died. Oh, I was a kid. My dog when I was a kid died and there's a you can't hear all the hyphens in there that connect all those thoughts. But yeah, like, you know, losing Joe the cat was really bad, but it's like he's 12. We got a lot of fun years together.

Yeah, mom, mom, that stoke was hanging on. Yeah. It needs to come now. Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's sad. I miss Joe the cat. She's bleeding through her nose and stuff. One of my favorite RTAs in recent memories is when they animated Christa Maris

talking about his mother's dog. The melting dog. I was like, my mom's dog is dead. Okay, she's not dead, but it's just really sick. Christa Maris has a very special brain. I think I saw that and I animated, yeah. But yeah, my friend had a dog that was deaf and blind and also just kept having epileptic fits.

That's just a point where it's like, what is the quality of life? Like does the life register as anything at this point? But we used to make jokes about this dog all the time. And then the one day where he did say, register as anything at this point. But we used to make jokes about this dog all this time. And then the one day where he did say, oh, you know, the dog's gone, because of all the years of sort of in jokes

that we've been making about this dog, we just burst out laughing. Like the dog at the ultimate punchline. We were like in hysterics. He was like, yes, dead. And we just all started to fall in love. That's a living thing. It's horrible.

Oh no. I'm gonna get you a family. We have a circle of life thing going on at our house now where right outside of our back door, there's this old planter and we were, everything in there had died over the winter because we got some severe frost this winter. And we were about to replant everything

and we noticed that there's a bird's nest in there with five eggs. You make it all the, how dare you? How dare you? So this little bird, I don't even know what kind of bird is, tiny little bird. So I've actually repurposed one of the security cameras that was inside the house and took it outside,

set up on a tripod from my fucking VR setup, Gus. And I now have it like, I can get a bird's when I really, I'm like, an American billotie. What's that? Yes, I'm like, I'm sitting there looking at these bird eggs all the time and cheering for the bird. Do you have the life feed now?

Oh, let's see these eggs. I'll show you. I'll see these eggs. Oh, to much. I can't show the app. I use the speckled sparrow. But yeah, I can show it to you. I'll show it to you between the show and the potion.

If you've seen eggs hatch then. I feel like I've seen that before. Yeah, no, I mean, this specific, it's still like, it does, it's a cute bird, it does, it does nuzzling like, Do you know how long it's gonna take? I don't know. I was like, you're gonna have to watch that bit

where the weak one turns up and you just go, it's not gonna be that tomorrow. Did you see the, or some lizard comes and eats them all and then you just get a food. Was it planet Earth or something or one of the blue plants? Where there was loads of eggs. Loads of birds nesting these eggs.

Definitely not blue planet. Right. That's just a ring of bell. But then these other birds would just deliberately hang out in the area. Yeah. They'd eat the eggs and then lay their eggs. Yeah, they would just like peck them up when all the eggs would be smashed and dripped out.

And the parent birds would just come back and just sit on the eggs we smashed and dripped out and the the parent birds Which come back and just sit on literally watch this last night. I think it was planet earth. No, it's blue planets a new blue planet So the new one that just came out. Yeah, let's see Blue planet. Yes about what do you think our planet with a flamingos? Oh, yeah What kind of flow, shit. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're doing grain planet. Well, clearly these were seabirds.

But anyway, yeah, the mother bird comes and sits in the kid goop. Yeah, and just nest on it and like keeps it warm thinking it's still about. I think that's blue planet season two episode two. Sounds about right. I tell you, I literally watch this thing you're talking about. I watch it last night. It's in the same episode with the fucking lizard running from the snakes, which is amazing.

Have you seen that before? Yeah, that's amazing. That's amazing. The fact that I can cut that into a coherent story, unbelievable. You know, it's like something so much like my life. Are we gonna get another one of them? With that, Embra.

You reckon he's got another one in him. I mean, he doesn't have to go there anymore. He's four oceans Is a four ocean is one ocean the seven seas But it's one body water. Yeah, there's no ocean where the water doesn't get out like where's the border between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean You just you just eventually you're in one and not the other was that the is that the loser running? I have no idea what's going on over there. I'm hearing action music.

David Amber is 91. He's got a lot of nice ears. Like, is it gonna come to you to say, hey, we're making an ocean in our body of water. Like, the Japan says, okay, the Pacific ends halfway now. And then the left side of the Pacific is now the Japanese ocean. What makes it an ocean?

The depth. I don't know. The area. It's all one-kicked in the body of water. It the Japanese ocean. What is it, what makes it an ocean? The depth. I don't know. The area. It's all one-kicked body water. It's one ocean. Right. I might just go out and claim it. Well, that's like actually, that's like saying,

you can't claim an ocean. Why not? That's like saying Europe. Yeah, wait, is it continent? No, no, no. Yeah, it's almost like saying that. It's almost like saying Europe is a continent. But it's just like saying that it's all connected.

It is. But yeah, but no one refers to it's like land. Listen, we all have with you guys in Europe. It's part of Asia and no one wants to fucking talk about it. There's no difference between Europe and Asia. You guys drew a boundary and called it a continent. There's nobody water between you and us. Also, if you go to West Asia,

if you go to those sort of middle eastern countries and stuff like that, they don't even recognize the boundaries that Westerners have dropped. That's the different. But also, every country is the same as your stupid ocean comment. I think technology has forced a little bit of that.

Like calendars and number systems. I think it might just be a case so that people know where they are. If they're sailing or might just be a case so that people know where they are. If they're sailing or something, I don't know. People know where they are. Yeah, they just go, well, what's the am I in? I mean, that one, all right, that way is I. I don't think you could be confused

by which ocean you set sail in. I don't know how lost you can get. You might just get very, very lost. There's not two Americans, right? So what kind of... Do you transition an ocean by boat? Yeah, you can go... Where's the border? You go across A kind of... A war point, do you transition an ocean by boat? Yeah. Where's the border?

You go across the ocean to more land, and then you go across land, you're going to a different ocean. You don't drive from one ocean to another ocean. What does it look like? And you don't. At the Strait of Magellan, at the very tip of South America where the Pacific and Atlantic.

Big dotted line. Me. Like, what is that there? Like, where is the delineation? Is there a part in the ocean where it's like, oh, look, it's different here. There's a part of the spray panel.'s like, oh look, it's different here. There's a perfect spray paint. There's the sort of security to stop any sort of immigrant

more. There you go, exactly. Sea wool. Protect immigrants. Fish. The blood. That's my rating fish. Well, you're an illegal migrating fish.

God. So one of the things I don't understand about the conversation we have now is, what is the concept of illegal immigration? It's like at some point, immigration was like, people came to this country to come here and live and work and create this country. But at some point, somebody would go, and now it's not, you gotta do it legally.

What's the first person that got here? Just did a 180 and blocked everyone else from getting off the boat. He's like, no, look, do you have your papers? Yeah. Come on. Get out of here. This is why I come, why are you coming here?

Yeah, I was there first. Yeah, I live there. That would be great. That's, that's what all the Native Americans you did to do. It was like, when all the bands and stuff. Just ask for the paperwork. Yeah. Where's your papers?

They got here. They put up really dingy boots with like windows 95 on them. You're like, no, you can't do it. The stamp's not good in your passport. Oh, here's the lizard. You can't show this. Okay, copyright it. Well, we were commenting on it, so it's fair use.

Okay, so these are baby seaguanas. You should watch this on BBC's movie planet. The planet, the planet, the planet, the planet. And they have to, after they hatch under the sand, they have to make it to the ocean and they have to get to these fucking snakes. How is this camera not pissing off these animals? It's like a moving tracking shot.

I don't know. I don't know, look at that guy go, go, go, go. Oh! No, this one gets free though. Oh, what, you ruined it. I feel like, oh, I feel like. I feel like watching it almost everything on those, you know, the umbrella.

Yeah, so stuff. It's just, look at this baby. Now, it to get through thousands of things that are going to kill it. Right. There are hundreds of teeth between it and being alive. Always the classic of that. That's the total. The total that's just a hatched, managed to get out from the sand. But that's just, and then there's birds and lizards. Right, everything just swigwits.

I know, imagine that being the beginning of your life. You'd be going, look, no, you'd rest out beyond belief. This is too much. One of the saddest things I've ever seen, it was a shot of something, some kind of gazelle, or, I don't know, it was a little old. Might be a spring book. Some kind of, one of these deer that's not a deer.

Is it African? Yeah, yeah. It's got Ibex, maybe Ibex. Why be? We'll call it an Ibex. It's giving birth and it's looking around while it's giving birth and then all of a sudden it like stands up and darts away and the baby just like falls out

and then it just comes up and it's on the baby. It's like that thing was around for five fucking seconds. That was on planet Earth. I don't know what it was on. It was on one of these horrible documentary shows. I've seen clips that makes you realize they must cut a lot from planet Earth, cause it's like, it's like kids watch shit.

And the attenhamers will be like, oh look at the way this happens in the American. Oh look at this. Ooh, but there's clips of like lions and stuff, swiping it, dare, and all of their attests to spill out while they're running away. It's like, they wouldn't put that in planet Earth. Or they're so live while they're being eaten.

Yeah. They always think they take them down, they're dead, and then they'll show all the animals eating them. But there's a lot of times where they just they kind of cripple them and then just start eating them. Like through the bottom up. Which is like, yeah, they don't care. Yeah, and really fresh. Yeah.

And big thing is that old video, remember what was it? The battle at, I looked at a battle at Kruger. It was like that very way of fighting. Yeah, it was the crocodile fighting, the lions fighting the, like the, the water buffalo. That was it. Yeah. It's like a big three way fight between animals. I think I feel like I have here.

It's like a huge, yeah. They like chased us thing and splashed into the water and then a train it and then the crocodile comes up out of the horse, the fighting over the mental. I know the parents come back and kick him. Right. It's like being an animal is, must be so tiring. Like you, you're always trying to either eat or not be eaten. Not to your my dog.

You're the best thing the human race figured out. You what? There's dogs, pets have it easy. They're like the royal family of the animal. Oh, basically. I thought they'd eat. They won the lottery. They did.

There was a time, animals evolving and stuff, everything's fighting it in. There was a time where animals evolving and stuff, everything's fighting it in. There was a time where the first animal was able to go, ah, just a little rest. And that was the most successful animal. I think that's enough to worry. In that animal? Or was a human? It was us.

I think I have a future resentment of my dog of a situation that hasn't even come up yet. Because I know for a fact, if the dog, which is a dog, by the way, a dog, if someone goes, oh, if the dog's not well, it needs 20,000 pounds. My wife's gonna look at me and I'm gonna go, yes, all right then. Wow, yeah, that's the chug change. Hate it.

I know that that's gonna happen and I can feel it. It's a dog. At that point, you'd be fucking. I'd love it, I would go's going to happen, and I can feel it. It's a dog. At that point, you'd be looking at it. I'd love it. I would go to and go, we can get another one. For like, you get 200 pounds. You should look at the dog after that point.

Just clean it. It's been fixed. I'll be looking at the dog, and I'll be going, I want a bit more out of it. It's honest. And then look at a gap where a TV isn't like a big nut. 20,000 dollars. I'll tell you what, that dog is my so many gaps in my house. I'm destroying furniture.

I was telling you about it. I got antique. It would be though a good story. Yeah, I got it. You say, how did your dog die? And you say, well, Samsung put out a new TV that year. So the dog was dying. What a weird coincidence.

As a result of Samsung putting out a new TV. 8K resolution became a thing. Who could predict that? That that would kill my tall offie when I got it 12 years ago. All right, well, let's wrap this up. Let's wrap it up. So we have so few James Moore barbeque. We do.

I want to thank everyone for watching. If you're watching live right now, there's going to be a little bit of a bonus post-show segment. We had a chance to talk to Broken Lizard about Super Troopers 2 and we're gonna air that immediately after this if you're watching. Let's make it the post show then we can cut out early. Alright, go ahead. I want everyone to see it. So wait, we still have a post show. Then we'll do a separate post show for our first member. Posts. Who we love very much. So regular boring post. Thanks everyone for watching. We will see you guys next time. Thanks for watching. Hey, everyone. Welcome to Thanks everyone for watching. We will see you guys next time.

Thanks for watching. Hey everyone, welcome to this supplemental portion of the Ristief podcast. I'm Gus and joining me is Jack and we've got, broken lizard with us here. Hello, people. A lot of people on your set. A lot of people. And now, we're pushing the limits of technology here

with the number of people per camera. Have you ever had this much beef in one podcast before? This is pretty beefy. I'm not, I don't think, I think we're approaching a world record. The level of beef. Oh, max beef. So we met, you guys, we talked briefly,

I think about three years ago at the YouTube space we were talking about that. I think you had just started the crowdfunding for Super Troopers 2 at the time. And I know, you may have just actually wrapped it up at that point. And now you hear you are. Finally, we made the money. Finally, coming out. And you guys, just actually wrapped it up at that point. And now you hear you are. Finally made the movie.

Finally coming out. And you guys, I'm sure everyone, as soon as you walked in the door, everyone's told you, you guys took our record from Indiegogo for the most funded film ever. So congratulations. Oh, that was your record. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, sorry, sorry, guys. We'll be sorry. We'll be sorry. Whenever I explain to people, yeah, we did a crowdfunding film. You know, super troopers too, it was like that. Yeah, not as successful or not as well-known. Yeah, we had like the smaller one. So congrats.

How much, how much did you guys make? I think about 2.4 million. That's still good. Oh, it's really good. It's not 4.5. Super respectful though. It's no broken lizard money. But now that should inspire you to go out and do it again and try to beat that mark.

Try to beat it. Yeah, and then we'll beat that mark. Try to beat it. Yeah. And then we'll beat that mark. Yeah. And the next one. Yeah. Never ending. So, I mean, what was it like? It seems like there was such a big break, you know, between the first film and the second film was it hard for you guys to get like back into it and get back into character. It was just a matter of growing mustaches.

Once you grow mustache and get the haircut and put a piece of gum in your mouth, boom. If you want to, you can augment that with some forearm exercises to get I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match.

I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match.

I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're going to be a good match. I'm not sure if you're seen the first super troopers You know that like that character had a really shitty mustache Mm-hmm, and that was not by design. That was just what he was capable or incapable of God gave me sir Yeah, 12 hairls in a separate let 12 hair, but now I mean

Why is that twice as many hair holes? We get a shot at what now technologies in there. You're gonna be a good monster Good look at that. Yeah like camera technologies technologies has really taken off in the intervening year. So you got a really fulfilled like for every frame. Yeah. It's a HD stuff man. Yeah.

But I mean, I was such a fan. I'm such a fan of the first film. You know, the work you guys have made. So I'm super excited. I'm fortunate I wasn't able to make it to the career last night. You're going to see it. But I saw on the Austin subreddit, people were posting about it, you know, photos of you guys on stage and it seemed like the reaction was universally positive.

And I feel like the Austin subreddit's normally very hostile and toxic. I was like, no one is saying anything bad right now. Like this must be just really amazing. It turned out, it turned out okay. I mean, we had, you know, we, we've been working on the idea since 2008. And so we did like 35 drafts of the script. And the nice thing though is that it is being well received.

Like if we had spent all that time putting this thing together and then it wasn't well received, it would be a blast of course experience. Yeah, it would be a loser. If the Austin subreddit had turned on us, it would have broken our hearts. Even though we didn't never knew to check it.

We would have known. And I never heard of it. It would have found out. Yeah, I got to see it last night. I went on to watch the last night. It was actually really good. I enjoyed it a quite a bit. I was in that crowd and they were eating it.

That was a rowdy crowd. It was. I loved it. Some yellow, farbacol out too. So that's always good. We always know that if the film plays in Austin that we know that it's, we've done a good job.

This is the best film crowd in the country. As goes Austin, so goes. So I mean, because they're expression they're educated and they're, you know, they're sometimes high. That's our crowd. Speaking of which,

I'm glad that you all are doing something to try to get stoners out of their house on April 20th. You can never count on them though. Yeah, you might get the date wrong. You don't know. But you know, I mean, look, that was, I think, you know, that was the conundrum with the studio. I think the studio of Fox was like, no, no, we know, like people love the first movie.

We know there's an audience, but 90% of them didn't see the first movie in the theater. They saw it on DVD or whatever. And, you know, they were probably mostly all-stoned. And so how do we then get those people to go to the theater to consume the movie in a different way than they consume the first one? And that is what led to the 420 release date. So we'll see if that strategy works. I felt like the first film was the kind of film

that really grew by word of mouth. Like, I know one of those people who saw it on DVD. And it was one of those things where it's like, man, how did I miss this film in the theater? Like, why didn't I have that experience? But I feel like now it's been passed around so much, people are so familiar with that story and that film. It's like, now you've got it.

Now everyone's been educated. You know, they've learned about it. So hopefully that's the push to get them into the theater. That gets them off the couch. Right. It's like, oh, yeah, that hope. Well, I'll go watch that. Now, where did the, where did the sort of idea of the whole Canada versus U.S.

kind of stuff come from? Like where did that, of the 35 scripts, when did that kind of become the key moment of it? I mean, there was a real life reassessment of the border after 9-11. And so they were trying to make sure that they knew exactly where the border was. They reassessed and there were sections of the border that were in the wrong place.

And so we thought, oh, let's make it a bigger section. And so now a section of Canada is actually being turned over to the United States and we're the police force that's sent there to oversee the turnover. Nice, that's great. Yeah, it's kind of funny. I mean, like Bruce McCullough

makes a little appearance in this thing and I love kids in the hall. We do too. Yeah. How'd you get him involved with it? We wanted somebody who was emblematic of Canada inviting us into the country. To treat us, yeah, as we have so far. And so we went to the kids in the hall, which,

and we had a connection to the same representation where everyone was, hey, can Bruce come and do this? And he's like, yeah, I'd love to. Cool, he thinks it's gonna be like a civil war thing, maybe Super Troopers 3, because in the hall, where he goes, he goes, I know, no brawl, crossover. I would love that.

Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, I'm gonna go. So, were you all nervous at all? Like, I keep thinking about the crowdfunding, we're all nervous at all that someone was gonna take you up on your indecent proposal. Yeah. Perk, which was never actually claimed.

I think we wanted that to, I mean, we could have used that $25 million. So it was $25 million. If you donate $25 million, one of us will sire a child for you. That's what the Indigo thing is. But it was gonna be grab bag, right? It was gonna be, like, you don't know which,

like you just get a dad, you get a turkey baster in the mail. And if the baby comes out fat, then the baby comes out brown, and then it's short. And maybe you shake up the bag and it comes out fat, short and brown. This is all the best quality.

Yeah, that's right. But yeah, you all had some really good, some really great backing, it seemed like. I saw there was a, you know, the $35,000 backer, there was like a $12,500, a 10-github. Yeah, I bought the car, like within the first day, somebody bought the squad car for $35,000. Yeah, pretty, like, first few hours.

We were surprised about it. I mean, that was the thing. You guys have done a crowdfunding campaign. Just how much people showed up and did by those prizes immediately. And having never done something like that, we were so amazed by that. Like, oh my God, the car just went.

Were you at all nervous, like trying to fulfill these expectations, because then, like, when you do this crowdfunding thing, not only do you have to make a film for it, then you have to like manage all these expectations that go along with the donations. Yeah, we have crowdfunding managers who are dealing with all 50 plus thousand of those people.

And, you know, naturally, we've taken a little longer to make the film than planned, or to have it come out than planned. So, you know, they have to, they have to sort of ride We've taken a little longer to make the film than planned or to have it come out than planned so You know they have to they have to sort of ride that you want their posters of who want their They're stuff and I get I get imagine ordering something Three years together, but we kept telling people it's like we can't send you the post until we make the poster right We can make the post so the movie's done fox is making the poster so all right, so now they're all gonna get the posters Yeah Right, we fight the postures of the movies done. Foxes making the poster, so now they're all gonna get the posters.

Yeah. We'll get there. But you, in the end, it seems like you at least you fulfilled everything. I know we've all, we bitched all the time on our podcast about crowdfunding stuff that we've backed, that they just go bankrupt. And it's like, oh, no, you don't get anything. So in the end, as long as you get something, I think one of our guys bought a cup. And then I was saying, it was like a cup that told you when to drink water.

And like the company went out of business. Like they took like a hundred bucks from him. So as long as the people get their posters, stick your finger on the movie. The movie exists, you've seen it. I know you've seen it. I've seen it on screen. But there are a lot of posters that need to get signed.

And we have this realization now, 7,000 posters were delivered to Heffernon's house. Yeah, and we're like, okay, well, I guess we'll carve out an entire week and do nothing with signed posters. I don't know how you signed 7,000. It took up the space of a car. They delivered 7,000 posters to my house.

Oh my God. We're gonna sign them all, guys. For these full size movie posters, we're gonna have the Yeah, the big ones. The full size ones. Yeah. Yeah. You could sign like a thousand a day for a full week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna find that time. That's a lot. I know. You're never gonna sign one of signing name again. I know. I guess things could be worse though. Right? I mean, we could have that. We would have a movie. Oh no, no, it's getting my head around like.

It's crazy, but. Wow. Yeah, I mean, that's a lot of support, right? I mean, that's 7,000 people who, absolutely. Back to the creation of the film, and that's a big time, isn't the problem to have. It's a great success problem.

Yeah, that's a big problem. So what's, I mean, what's it been like? I guess when the first film came out to watch that, that rise, you know, to see like watch people start picking it up on DVD and then watch the film entered, like, it's entered this meme state on the internet where that mother of God image is like,

I see that on Reddit or I see it on the internet all the time. Like, it's reached that point where it's just like this cultural currency mother of God. What's it like to watch it go from just something you made to this where it's reached that point where it's just like this cultural currency. Yeah, they're gonna go. What's it like to watch it go from just something you made to like this where it's everywhere? Well, it was a very slow burn though. So like when the first, when the movie came out, you know, certain amount of people went on the theater, but it wasn't a huge blockbuster or anything. So it was really took a couple of years for even if people start watching the DVD.

And then you start, you know, you get recognized here and there or whatever. And then it just kind of took off, you know? Yeah, I mean, I think it was like three or four years later, walking on the street and like, in a passing car. So I was like, you boys like Mexico and you're like, what the fuck? And yeah, I mean, it's, it becomes surreal. Like when we walk around together,

people tend to recognize us much more easily, and that's what happened. We were in New York City. Somebody came running out of a bar and they're like, are you guys the super troopers? Yeah. Well, on the bartender coming, you're drinking for free. And that just kind of started to happen. And it's, you know, we didn't intend for that to happen. We just wanted to make the best movie we could and hopefully it would be on one screen someplace. And yeah, it's kind of grown. Now it creates this pressure, though, that you, we don't want to mess it up, you know what I mean? Well, that's why we write 35 drafts of every movie we make because we're trying to pour over every

Artistic detail every second every joke and yeah, it would be good. Well, I read in your book actually I like your writing style where you just write the jokes and then you cast after everything's done That's a really interesting way to do it. We're humanly where you would once you know you're playing a part You're gonna be like oh, I have an idea for my character. And that's not how this group really works well. It works if we're all writing the best joke for all the characters, because you might play one. So that's why you don't cast it until, like, draft 15.

Well, did it change for Super Troopers too, because you clearly have your characters. You just have to be disciplined and to be a good person and write jokes for other people. Right. But also when you know all those characters, like you sit down and write super troopers to and I know rabbit.

I know what rabbit would say. So I think we didn't fall into that trap necessarily because it was awesome to be like, oh yeah, and this is what Mac would come in and do this. And oh yeah, that's where Farvel would do that. So it was a very sort of fluid, easy kind of process to jump into that. And I think that's also, you know, the philosophy is the whole movie has to be great.

So, you know, like, you know, we've got a scene in the movie that's the Canadian, the Mounties are, you know, watching TV, you know, it's behind the curtain, look at what their lives are like. And it might be the best scene in the movie. And somebody asked me, like does it bother you that that scene in the movie is not you guys?

And the answer is no, I mean, because the idea is to make the best movie possible so every scene should be hysterical. Yeah, it's still y'all's name on the post-cab. We had a hand in writing those jokes. Absolutely. Now, so what's the idea? It seems like with all the broken lizard movies now,

I've seen almost all of y'all's dicks. So is there like a list we have to go down? I don't know if I've seen your dick yet, but I think I've seen everybody. We can take care of that right now. Science can be a big advantage of so many. Oh, your dick. I'm pretty close though.

Kevin's wife said, well, I've never seen so much flesh on you, Stonyanski. I have a lot of flesh in the movie. Yeah, yeah. But not total. No spoilers or anything. Yeah, Stonehenzky. I have a lot of flesh in the movie. Yeah, yeah, but not total. No spoilers or anything. Yeah, like 98% flesh. There you go.

So, sure. Just not your dick. Just not my, yeah, my Johnson. Let me, you know, in this, in the other hand, in this movie, in the Johnson's doing an acrobat. I'm totally naked. Yeah, I mean, you see me 360 degrees. Nice.

Naked, every nook and cranny, everything. Full on record. But you get ready for it. I mean you're dick exercises, right? Got it all toned up and everything right? Yeah. Yeah, we lost some weight I'm a dehydrate for a day before the That way like really ripped too much weight though because you don't want to lose any dick weight No, but like you don't want it to you don't have fat dick either like It's a fine line

It's really it's I had had it in line. It's really, it's, I had this conversation with Daniel Day Lewis about the way I'm addicted, right? When super troopers two is shown 3D, will your Johnson come flying out into the audience? Uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, like the 40, you would the vibrating seats in the wind that was flying, Dix. Yeah. No, I caught a reference to a club dread actually in the movie.

So there's a ring tone that you kept. Yeah. I love that movie. But is there anything else that fans should like kind of listen out for or keep an eye on for maybe other references like slam and salmon or a bottle cruiser? There's a, like one of those sort of, like hidden gems on the post on one of the posters. Oh, okay.

There's like a sneaky little broken lizard hidden. I don't know. But we had a couple good little like for Brian Cox too. I think we did. We do a we had a brave heart reference in there also. I mean, the same scene in the same scene. I think as club dread, yeah, mentioned. We also thought it had been funny for the sequel if instead of

Brian Cox playing chief O'Hagan, it was Anthony Hopkins. See if anybody would have gotten that one. Sure. Because he was the original handle actor of Brian Cox. I'm glad Brian Cox was back in the film. That's a great question. He's eight today either. He looks great. He looks fantastic. I think he is a much more prominent presence in this one

than he did in the first one. He's a lot of good comedy and a lot of moments that I really love in this one. He seems to be more of a part of the group this time. Like the last thing is kind of the straight man. So you guys, because we didn't know him back then. Now we know. You can make the ass.

But to his chagrin though, I think he's had enough of us. And you know, at around five o'clock every day, he would start to get a little bit cranky. And he usually took it out on Jay. He did. Nice. So 15 years from now, he last minute being the third one. And then I'm come back. Yeah. He's polite. He's suggested plotlines for himself for Super Troopers 3, which involve him being dead. Last sitting. Yeah, like opens on my funeral. Yeah. It's like, like, like, Alakim is trying to get out of Star Wars.

Yeah, maybe she killed his Ben Kenobi character. It opens on my Gravestone. Right. Well, is he really, he says he doesn't shoot night shoots anymore that he made an exception for us, but just generally speaking, he says, no, anything that involves night shoots. And so, you know, I don't know in the future how that, you know, I'm going to discuss it at length. He goes, well, we, you shoot a plate and I'll come onto a stage.

You put me in for a blue screen and then you'll, you'll comp in the night. But when I was making him a vampire, then he only shoots back. And he only shoots. I want to get to that point. I want to get to that point. I want that kind of rider like, I'm not even a liar. But there was. There was also a riff where we could just shoot in front of a green screen and then he would be a ghost.

So that was, we started going in that direction for the third one. It's like, okay, opens on his funeral and then he's just like a friendly ghost. It follows us around. And we did, we do his stuff on green screen. We do. You put him out like in two days on the green screen. Is the little film done? Hello, farm bar.

But we were going to have him be even an invisible ghost. Like, like, you see a coffee mug float by him. He just go do VO. We had a long conversation about this. Yeah. His other pitch to us was him and Linda Carter in a ski shallace. Rice. Right.

They get there together now. They don't figure out the rest. Just put me in a ski shallace with Linda Carter. But she had a much bigger role in this movie too. Yeah. She had a kind of a smaller part in the first one, but this one, she was like a full blown, you know, quite a share. She's quite a full on basil exposition.

Yeah. She was the original as we bring her to do all the heavy lifting that none of Swans to do. Explaining the Canada situation. All right, well, I'm looking forward to it. The film comes out April 20th. Yeah, 2020. Yeah, everyone should go watch it in the theater. Oh, there it is. Super much too. Opening the April 20th. Thanks so much for taking time to I like your diamond ring by the way. Thanks. It's my road rage ring when I flip people off. I'm gonna see it. I know. Good call.
