You guys they were playing for a phm So fun fact about that one Fiona was supposed to come in but Fiona's fight was late So we were like oh, we just like we can just pull an ally. And so we pulled Blade for that. Yeah. It was great. Blaine was lovely on the podcast. And honestly, a lot of the times, he was just like listening because if he was just spilling knowledge. And you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Oh, I thought he meant if he was spilling Blizz. Spilling, I went, I went, I went, I went, I went. Yeah, if he was spilling a little bit of the Blizz. Yeah. But yeah, it was so much fun. I had a fun time. I didn't like it. I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Gus, when you're out of town or not in the office for any reason, do you ever tune into the RTP? It's not like every time, yes, but sometimes I will. Or like, not even just RTP, but anything that we're streaming. I'll like check in on just to see how it's going, see what everyone's up to. I do the same thing too. And then anytime I get caught and shattered, everyone's like, go away, you're on vacation.
Starting point is 00:01:48 I'm still like to see what my friends are doing. I'll never type in chat. I'll just watch and be like, go really? Yeah, yeah. See, that was me on vacation. I tuned into one of our streams. And then people are like, you're on vacation and Palm Springs go away.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah. Okay. You were literally taking, was was taking like a solo trip. I don't know if you told you about it to find himself or whatever. Yeah, so my Okay, do we need is this like an intervention right now to I think we're still running off the high of our stream our SCF stream with Mario party. Oh, yeah SCF versus H blood was spilled blood was spelled
Starting point is 00:02:24 So a h1 Yeah, how dare you I want you to know I want you to not only the age win But Alfredo got first I got second So it was it wasn't like SCF got second They got third and fourth Guys, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:02:39 It's easy We're working on it We're working on it guys You gotta step it up I know But you and have come against me for no reason. No reason the game. I was playing the game. I was wrong I two wrongs make a right It's funny I know I feel like I know everyone here pretty well. Gus is very competitive. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Like, I think deceitfully competitive. Like not a lot of people, because you're pretty chill, pretty light back most of the time. You're down to ground, you're down to do whatever. But if you give something with any sort of competitive nature to Gus, it's over, baby. Blizz was saying before we went live on the STF stream, I was playing Marvel Snap, and Blizz was like,
Starting point is 00:03:24 you're not you when you play Marvel's in the town. No, I'm not you Snap. And Blizz was like, you're not you when you play Marvel. I'm like, no, no, no, no. He's like, you're you're hungry. You get really mad. You get really competitive and into it. There was a Minecraft video we did. Minecraft hard mode.
Starting point is 00:03:36 We did a, well, this could be one of many that we did during quarantine. I think it was during quarantine. We filmed it from home. It was. Where John put together this like cooking challenge and Minecraft, where we had to like, find all the ingredients, and then he had like
Starting point is 00:03:50 the recipes for us to make the food. And basically it was two versus two. It was me and Gus versus Blaine and Chris. And Gus was shit talking them the whole time. And like, I mean, bad. Bad. I was just like, I really hope we're all still friends after this. I did always like sabotaging them.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yep, he was like hiding their ingredients and taking their tools. That's like meanwhile, like me and Gus are sitting on the couch. Gus is learning gas lighting and I feel like I'm rubbing off on Gus in the wrong way. I'm learning your skills. Yeah, he's learning new skills for me and it's bad. There's gas lighting but there's gas letting well. in the wrong way. I'm learning your skills. Yeah, he's learning new skills from me. And it's bad. There's gaslighting, but there's gaslighting well. And there was a lot of attempts at gaslighting.
Starting point is 00:04:29 The only person who was actually correctly, gaslight was Blues. Alfredo and Gus both gaslight you. Everyone tried to gaslight me. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. I was trying. I was trying to.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I was just trying to get gaslight right now. We got you once. Which one? You got your older one. We got you. Um, yeah. What's it just lying? Like, they're different. They're different.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Yeah, so saying gaslighting makes it fun and flirty. Yeah. It's true. It's flirty. It's flirty. It's flirty. Funny flirty. No, I have red flags at home.
Starting point is 00:05:01 If I had mine right here, I would be waving it. I have a red flag. It's fine. Yeah, that's fine. No, right on you. You You're all it got some orange. That's how I deceive you Yes, that's the gaslighting I was trying to convince before the podcast I was trying to convince bliss to make some special tea Because he said he's gonna double fist red bull and some tea there I said why don't you just make the tea with the red bull just eat the red bull up and then steep your tea bag
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah, we're gonna have to do that first stream, because honestly, I enjoy that. I think we need to do that. It's a curse. I have a genuine question speaking of drink. Oh, look at it. Okay. My community brought up, we brought up yesterday because I was waiting for the re-honest Super Bowl,
Starting point is 00:05:34 you know, congrats to my love for being pregnant. And the conversation came up, because it was a long line of events. It went from ripping you know, ripping a butthole and then ripping and then when you were pregnant and get birth, sometimes when we can rip a vagina into our butthole and then also when you're pregnant, sometimes you can grow. The way you phrase that. So it is, but I know it's weird. That is it. Basically that the scene between your vaginal opening and your aim is. So the, all the masks or men or just people with penises or humans that think that woman have two holes
Starting point is 00:06:08 You are correct in that moment because they're ripped to their eyes. Oh wow. I promise you I promise you this is to appoint you. That's what the song is about. I promise you this is to appoint because we're gonna get to my point about drinks eventually But that led to when women are pregnant They have titty milk sometimes because they'll grow a bad Why are you pointing to your underarm? Because that's where that's where they grow a titty under underarm and then they can have milk come out their underarm Wait, wait, wait, like from a gland or something? Yes, like they'll grow a gland in their arm like they'll sweat it out No, it's not a sweating like a tit will grow in their arms
Starting point is 00:06:43 You can look at how does it come out? It's there's a nipple. Yeah, you have, you have holes all over your body. I have been a woman for 33 and a half years and I have never once heard about. I promise you if you go on TikTok and look up armpit milk, you will see pregnant woman like squirt milk out there armpit. Huh.
Starting point is 00:07:01 But then do private browser, please. Too late. Too late. Too late. I mean, I got my computer. I got do private browser, please. Too late. Too late. I mean, I got my computer's already ruined. So you purchase your team since it's existence. Yeah. So while Gus is looking at that. So this gets to the drink part because now we're off milk. I was telling people about how, you know, everyone, there's so many people that get on me because I like drinking milk. But I don't like almond milk and I don't like coconut milk. And I said,
Starting point is 00:07:24 oh yeah, coconut milk, coconut milk, I grew up thinking coconut produced milk just because that's what you see on TV all the time, but no it's just water. Where's the teddy on the coconut? That's so what? That's the fact that it doesn't sound like the producer. Where's the teddy on the coconut? So that's my whole thing.
Starting point is 00:07:42 So I'm like, how the fuck does a coconut produce milk? That doesn't make any sense. And I found out it's when they take the white part inside I'm like, how the fuck does a coconut produce milk? That doesn't make any sense. And I found out it's when they take the white part inside the coconut and mix it. I said, then that's my fucking milk. Well, like milk is objective. Milk is not milk. You think you milk an almond?
Starting point is 00:07:56 No, that's why I was confused. I'm like, why are we calling it milk? That's not milk. No, what I don't like it. Because I want milk. You want like from the teeth of an animal. Yes. I squeezed out armpit, armpit of a woman in the face.
Starting point is 00:08:08 armpit, listen, did she wash her pits? Anyway, but no, but then I got angry because I was like, so why is it called milk? And they're like, well, it's white. I'm like, so if I gave you a cup full of cum, is that milk? No. Well, man milk.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Man milk. Oh, okay. So the definition of milk. Okay, okay. So the definition of milk. Okay, the definition. The definition, an opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young. Mammals, female mammals. I mean, that could become woman-cone.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Well, female mammals usually. Well, we'll pay quite fluid. It's, it's right. But I think it excludes coconuts. This, this can't have fat in it. And almonds. Right,. It's, it's right. But I think it excludes coconuts. I think. I think. I think.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I think. And almonds. Right. Yeah, just protein. So, so why is it called milk? People treat me like, okay, try this almond vanilla, I don't want that. Try this almond. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I think it's like milk is used in a loose term here. Yeah, because it's supposed to just, it's just supposed to be an alternative for what you have. Like, it's like a fake cheese, like a dairy replic. But then call it fake milk. Why is it called this milk? I mean, it is, I think people know that almonds don't have teats. I didn't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I mean, I didn't have teats on an almond. I also want to point out, I was the only one watching when this happened, but. So I saw Gus's face, the armpit. Did it bite him? Oh, man, it's her talking. I'll do a dramatic review. I know what it looks like. A dramatic review.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Oh, you're okay. The human body is just so scary. Let me read you her quote. Oh, okay. I was in so much pain, my armpits were filled up, and my breasts were huge just rock hard and There's a photo of her
Starting point is 00:09:50 lifting her armpit showing With a nipple no, no, it's swollen. Okay. I don't see a nipple of any kind Yeah, I know I know you got glands in there. Yeah, things could kind of like listen like the bento But I don't I never was a nipple randomly popping on so it's not like a nipple popping out like like a Perseuclund exactly our pits had filled with breast milk a little known but not uncommon side-effective engorgement which is when an increase in blood flow and milk supply to the breast causes swelling tenderness and pain. Apparently it's more common nowadays since people are talking about they're like oh that's normal I have that too like more and more people are announcing that they
Starting point is 00:10:24 have it so they're more common., that's normal. I have that too. Like more and more people are announcing that they have it. So they're more common. So I've never heard of it. Yeah, I'm a fucking 45 year old man. I've never heard of this. And apparently it's just something that happened and everyone ignored. Yeah. So I'm so one that my only goal in life is to be a mom one day and every day I learn another reason why that should not be my only goal in life. I mean, there's also, I mean, there's a million things that could happen in pregnancy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:48 There's a, the human body is scary. I mean, human by scary. But I have added it to my, no, America's laughing healthcare system is scary, especially as a, yup, so this is not great. It's not a winning time. I mean, I love milk. So I mean, if it comes out my armpit,
Starting point is 00:11:05 as long as I wash recently, I'll drink it. I used to be anti-milk. I, online I shamed people for drinking milk. You would shame me? No, I wouldn't shame you in person. Just behind your back. It's okay. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:11:18 You wouldn't shame me in person but I definitely beat you in person. You wouldn't be your person. But there is like, I always make fun of people like, oh, you're drinking milk. Oh, you're lactose intolerant and drinking milk. That's a choice or something like that. That is exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:31 It's okay if you're drinking milk. It's fine. But also, I feel like human beings aren't supposed to be drinking milk. It's actually poisonous for you. I think we are. No, it's delicious. We're not supposed to drink milk from other mammals.
Starting point is 00:11:41 We're the only mammal that drinks milk from other animals. Gus, thanks can be delicious and also kill you. Yeah, but here's a hot take. Here's a hot take. Let's go. Do what you want to do. You want to do as long as you are not harming anyone else or what other people want to do with their lives. But air on harming is what it is harming. If I, well, I'm not lactose intolerant, but if I am lactose intolerant, I drink milk. I have a partner, we both have to sleep in the same bed. That is harming someone else.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Well, not physically. Yeah, it's not, it's not emotional. Not permanent. Yeah. It's not physical. Because I have a partner who's lactose intolerant and it's not a physical hurt. It's just like, hey, like, maybe don't drink dairy.
Starting point is 00:12:19 That was a rank one, maybe. It's that, but also like, I've kind of noticed it in me too, but sometimes when drinking milk, you can develop like a rash and stuff like that. Like, this can happen to your skin, and that's what was happening with people like, I know, and then it also has happened to me, where I'm like, why is my skin flaring up
Starting point is 00:12:38 when I'm drinking 2% milk? Why am I huge? Why am I huge? Why are my muscles all red? It's your bones. They're just bone bones. It's those bones. The skin can't handle the bones. The skin can not handle any of these.
Starting point is 00:12:49 There are too many rules. That's like, I, someone who now has access to all the information of the world at your friggin' fingertips, there's just too many rules. Too many things to avoid, not avoid. Some people think you should do this, you should not do this, of the same thing. Like if you look up on the internet, is milk good for you? You will find everything saying yes. If you say, is milk bad for you? You will find everything saying yes. I think that's just life. I know. Very frustrating.
Starting point is 00:13:18 It's like the fine, uh, well, like one glass of wine is good for you because of this. Any alcohol for you is bad. It's a deadraman total. What do I do? Whatever makes you happy. Drink water down wine. Drink water down. Like it's like a one-to-one and technically it cancels out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 That's insane. I don't like the way you think. Yeah, what ice cubes in your wine? Oh. Good giant ice cubes. First we got the red bull tea. Then we got the ice twine. Gus is on something.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I don't know what it is, but the energy that Gus has been running there. It's red bull. It's red bull. It's red bull. It's white. I sweat white wine. Or sangria.
Starting point is 00:13:54 If it's hot, I'll just put ice in it. Oh. I don't want sangria. And that would make me really upset. Yeah, that was really rude. Those are two words that shouldn't go together. I've been in mold wine before? Yeah, that's actually good. No, mold. M-U shouldn't go together. I've been mold wine before. Yeah, that's actually good
Starting point is 00:14:05 No, mold M U L LED. I think I don't know. Yeah, my own use to get mixed up hot wine Like you put like sill in and spice in it. So no bive had like hot sake I just really don't like warm beverages. Okay, I don't like warm coffee. I don't like warm tea really I don't like hot chocolate. I don't like chocolate. You don't definitely don't like warm tea. Really? What about like hot chocolate? I don't like hot chocolate. Well, I don't like chocolate. You don't like chocolate, right? I definitely don't like hot chocolate. Oh my god. Yeah, but the thing is, if you can give me like a nice sweet ice coffee or ice, like I like iced tea, ice coffee,
Starting point is 00:14:32 I just don't like warm beverage. And do you like yourself really cold? Like you have a nice. No, my teeth get sensitive if it's too cold. That's also fair. Wow, okay. You have a real narrow bag. I'm a very, I'm a very warm.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Like if I, like I have a grandmother who like, she thinks either freezing cold, so she'll put her water bottles in the freezer or it's piping hot. Like she'll put her food in the microwave for five minutes. I'll put my food in the microwave for one. Doesn't it burn it? Yeah, I mean, she takes it out around like the two
Starting point is 00:14:58 and a half minute mark. That's the flavor, guys. But, you know, like, she thinks piping hot in my soup crispy. Yeah. Well, I can do something on the counter and be like, this is nice. Lukewarm.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I will be honest, I do like Lukewarm soda out of everything. Lukewarm soda is really good. No, if you leave it in a can, if you live a sprite can out, not do not open it. If it's warm, it's like, yeah, it makes me happy. If it's cold, I'm just like, it's mid. You know, when we had those storms and lost power a couple of weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:15:26 yeah, I lost power at my house and like I was sitting there in the middle of the afternoon, like this sucks. It's miserable. It was like 50 degrees in my house. Yeah. And I was like, I'm gonna need a banana. I had some bananas on the counter. And I went and grabbed one and like peeled it and started eating.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I was like, this banana's cold. It's like, it's like it's been in the fridge, which I guess there's nothing wrong with, but it just like it just made me even sadder about the situation. We were just not only expecting. Yeah, it was sucks. When you guys able to salvage any of your food? Yeah, luckily it was like freezing outside, so it's like I just took everything and put it on the patio outside of the bed.
Starting point is 00:15:58 We did not do that. I think there are people still without power. They are right now, which has been, today is the 13th. Yeah. And it was what, like 10 days ago at this point? It was the second. Well, oh, the second. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:14 So yeah, it's open like 11 days. I'm gonna fight you, Texas. Y'all, you won't win. I'm not gonna win. Unfortunately, I'm gonna try my best. Luckily, we only lost power for like a day. Okay, that's a way to luckily. Yeah, so I mean compared to you. Yeah, compared to who Barbara?
Starting point is 00:16:31 You. Yeah. Did you lose the power, Kai? Not at all. Oh, good. Nine a little bit. There was a moment where I like, tax barbed up like, hey, can I come over?
Starting point is 00:16:40 I'm like on my way. I think what like a third of the city lost power. Yeah, the majority. Yeah, it sucked. 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 like, I'm slow down like oh my god I realized that it was a four by stop sign. I just don't get how people who drive on the roads Who've been drivers for X-Men of yours don't understand that if a traffic light is turned off or flashing red it acts like a stop sign I Assume that they're distracted looking at their phone and they don't see the light because it's not on. I assume that's what happened I feel like I feel like. I feel like. I'm so angry. I feel like. I'm so angry. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. I feel like. Yeah. Yeah. As a it's very unnecessary. Like roundabouts normally have the one lane
Starting point is 00:17:47 But a lot of the ones here in Texas have two, but they have two were literally even the roundabout itself is made to where I can literally say a car crash Can happen right there. Yeah, I've almost gone to an accident in the roundabout that we all know I was on my way to get some sushi for lunch and we had to use the roundabout to get there I was in the lane that allowed me to essentially go off at the second exit because it's a straight shot Right and the person was next to me and I'm like, okay, well you can't go straight You can only go off at the third exit. I'm so as I go straight this car turns into me to get in front of me And I'm looking at them and I stopped my car I'm like both stand here and I will honk it. Listen, people in Texas don't honk.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I will honk at you. I forgot we're in Texas and he could have had a gun. I won't honk at you. What do you think you're doing? You're talking about that happens half the time. I'm in that roundabout. I hate that roundabout. It's because the way it's designed, so it's two lanes. But both lanes go off to the highway. They have to both exit going south on 35. It's designed so it's two lanes, but both lanes go off to the highway. They have to both exit going south on 35.
Starting point is 00:18:47 So if one person gets on in between, at some point, to not go on the highway, they want to go around the roundabout. There's cars that are trying to both go off onto the highway, but you have a car that's like coming this way. They need to be one lane over and they don't know it. Yeah, every single day I look at that roundabout and I'm just like, like coming this way. They need to be one lane over and they don't know it. Yeah. Every single day I look at that round about and I'm just like, today could be a day.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Today? Today could be a day. It's much better than what it was before. It was a light before and it was a fucking nightmare. The light took forever. It used to back up on that road. So bad. That's so long.
Starting point is 00:19:19 That's scary. That's scary. Because I get backed up on that round about now to the day. So you talking about honking. So for the longest time, I didn't have a horn on my car. I'm not surprised. Yeah, and so like, what would happen if someone was about to run into your somewhere like that?
Starting point is 00:19:32 I mean, people like, I just don't honk their horns. They don't honk their horns. But I do, I love the silent treatment of like, you know you did wrong and I'm gonna see you and I'm gonna look at you and as I'm driving past you, you know you did wrong and I know you did wrong. I hear people that thumbs up. No, I give a thumbs down. I'm very sorry, I'm gonna see you and I'm gonna look at you. And as I'm driving past you, you know you did wrong and I know you did, but I remember feeling it. I know your people, the thumbs up. No, I give a thumbs down.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I'm very disappointed. I give a middle finger. Oh wow. No, I don't. People just have grants, I don't do that. I want to convey disappointment. Because at one time I was driving past a school zone and the school zone was active, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:01 the light was flashing for 20 miles an hour. And the person in front of me was going really fast and just like blew through the school zone and there was a crossing guard who saw that happen and she stepped out into the road and it started like double fisting two thumbs down to the guy, I was like, that's awesome. I'm gonna do that.
Starting point is 00:20:16 So from that day forward. I've seen a trend where some people will just go like this to indicate like, I feel this. And I'm just like, that's it. I feel like that's going to get you shot in Texas. Yeah. Oh, I went out this weekend to graduation. I came out this weekend. But I went out this weekend that threw me off because I was like, did I come out this weekend because you constantly come out. But I went out this weekend to go watch one of my friends perform and drag Lori Bird.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Oh, nice. And I have a question for you all, and I saved it for today. So I met a couple of people, and the name I gave them was Blizz, and they didn't like that name. How rude! And then I was like, oh, they were like Blizz, and I like, yeah, I was like, it's kind of an online name thing And it's like something that I use or like when interacting with people because it makes it a lot easier That's how you want to just cause me was And they were like, oh, you're the internet
Starting point is 00:21:15 We're living in the now that sounds so millennial of you and I'm like, oh Wow, okay, I was like Yeah, you should give us like your real name real now. The question is I like I was explaining his story I've already explained the story Let's go time is on I have a lot of thoughts and I'm trying to wait a minute I also have a lot of thoughts on that because it's like do you get annoyed when people refer to themselves as a nickname when introducing themselves?
Starting point is 00:21:39 No, because it doesn't fucking matter that's where I was long as it's what they want to be called Yeah, yeah, it would be known as it was super weird a super weird interaction because it doesn't fucking matter. That's where I was. As long as it's what they want to be called. It would be known as. It was super weird, a super weird interaction because it's like, their thing was, we're living in the real now, so you should probably be real. That's so neat. I'm like, looking down their nose.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I'm like, my name is also something in the real now. Like, if we're gonna talk about it, but I was like, okay, that's fine. You have a cute jacket. I'll talk to you later, type of thing. It was just a weird interaction. Yeah, it's fucked up. Yeah, it's fine. You have a cute jacket. I'll talk to you later type of thing. It was just a weird interaction. I was fucked up. Yeah, it's fucked up. I just like, did I ask for your opinion on my name?
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yeah, I didn't come after your name, Olivia. No, it's just really interesting to me because it's like, what is the purpose of you asking my name? Is it so you can feel entitled to that information that you or is it so you can know how I would like not at work in a close proximity to each other you can know how I would prefer I don't know it's giving it's giving weird is giving dead name it is that's what it is too yeah it's just like I don't want to I want your legal yeah what do you feel comfortable me calling you because I want to respect you and respect you yeah Yeah, so so what's the question is like how do how you do you?
Starting point is 00:22:48 How would we murder those people? Yeah, how would you murder those people? But also like would you prefer like when interacting with someone they I mean I can actually answer this question pretty easily because I'm now at a point in my life where more people in my life call me Kai than my real name Kyla Yeah, and so but anytime I go home, of course it's Kaila, Kaila, Kaila, because that's what they know me at. There's been a few times where I'll meet, say one of my childhood friends friends.
Starting point is 00:23:13 They're like, oh, this is, hey, this is my friend. I'm like, hi, I'm Kai. I'm like, Kai, I'm like, oh shit, but you'll hear them call me Kaila. So I'll try to switch back and forth. But I'm so used to being called Kai in this space. For me, luckily Kai is short for Kailess, so it really doesn't bother me.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's just like a nickname. Also, at the same time, I'm slowly getting to a place in my life where I can see how giving out my real name can be a problem in certain situations, because people can take that information and use it in ways, especially, we were just talking about AI deepbakes with like, with sounds, with pictures, with everything.
Starting point is 00:23:48 So literally, giving out any information is giving out a piece of you. So at the end of the day, trust that I'm giving you some, the fact that I'm giving you an answer should be enough. The fact that you answer should be enough to know that I want you in my presence. If I gave you nothing, that means I'm ignoring you, I don't care about you.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Like, if you're then putting yourself on this pedestal to get more information, I'm sorry, but we're not there, I don't care. Who are you to demand that? Exactly. Who are you to demand that? It's funny, I never thought about it. I'm doing the opposite of what you're doing. I went by dust for so long, and I've like,
Starting point is 00:24:18 over the past couple years, I've been switching to Gustavo, but I meet new people. So it's like, the same thing. Well, me, someone like, like I had a new neighbor move in. And I was like, he came up to talk to us while I was talking to my other neighbor. And the new neighbor came over to like, oh, what's your name?
Starting point is 00:24:30 And I was like, I was gonna say, I'm Gustavo in my neighbor said, oh, this is Gus. I was like, oh yeah, I mean, okay. Yeah. I mean, this is like, I'm the same man. Yeah, I don't mind. It's like, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:24:39 It's still my name, just having to try and manage that. I'm gonna try and feel like which part of me am I? It almost makes it feel like you can't just be you at all times. It's like, am I this, am I this internet person I right now? Am I person that grew up on the East Coast for 24 years? Like, who am I? Can I answer even, can I tell you I am tonight?
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm human. I thought about changing my name, my legal name to John Smith, and just keeping Gustavo Cirola as a stage name, just to have the most generic name possible, where it's like, you can't find anything with that. There's just so many. I mean, we recently saw a GRIFF,
Starting point is 00:25:16 they made the choice to change their name, and we're all respecting it and calling them that. And it's for that very reason of just, how much do I want to give people that piece of me, like in terms of certability and SEO. So I don't know, it's giving entitlement and I really don't, I think. It was a red flag for me. It was absolutely.
Starting point is 00:25:33 If I could maybe think through their process, it sounds to me like these people are not online people. It's people who probably don't have social media or if they do, they just use it for like friends and family. And they don't quite understand this generation's desire for some type of anonymity and privacy. Yeah, I was just saying privacy and definitely and just the idea that like your career and personality online like is essentially you. You know, like me saying, oh, my name is Blizz. Oh, is that your real name? Like, no, it's what I go by.
Starting point is 00:26:06 It's like, they think you're putting on a stage name, I guess. Yeah, but yeah, or like, or I'm putting a performance or that like, well, why would you give me your screen name? It's like, well, that I'm so heavily identified with that. That that is me. Yeah. But it's it's having people to kind of, I think, understand sometimes. Yeah, I agree with that. Sorry, if you're going to go. No, no, no, I'm going to say two things. One, I think it also has to. Yeah, I agree with that. Sorry if you're gonna go. No, no, no, I'm gonna say two things One, I think it also has to do with the idea of what's a celebrity was an influencer What's an actor? What's a comedian because in the influence at the end of the day? It's share your entertaining, but I'm still just
Starting point is 00:26:36 Putting on myself like I am not putting on it some entertainers do put on a character So I understand how some people can see it as always that but in reality the current influencer and specially micro influencers are really just exuding themselves because that's and especially in the world is so saturated with content that's all you can really do to be different is be yourself. But I think the thing that really bug me about that is it definitely is what you say are they because first of all they called you a millennial. Are you millennial? Like, we're in the now as if Gen Z isn't as someone who is in Gen Z. That's what the Rose me off. I've literally was born with a computer in my house.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And I was late Gen Z. Like, I am on the cuss. So I, I was surrounded by internet and literally integrated into technology. What do you think the now is? You must be a boomer. Like, I don't, I just, how are they? Where they, you hear?
Starting point is 00:27:24 They look like my age. So they're so primal. They're probably Gen Z. And I think they're I've heard some studies about this and some like findings about how Gen Z tends to be like millennials, I think, were more focused on having like a screen name online. Like when we join the internet, like we use screen names, we didn't use our full names. We were taught not to ever share your personal information, never this, your age, where didn't use our full names, we were taught not to ever share your personal information, never this, your age, where you're from, all that stuff. I think Gen Z is kind of very open about who they are, with their name, not necessarily where they live and stuff
Starting point is 00:27:56 like that, but just putting themselves out there, especially with things like TikTok, where it's like story times and this and that, where it's almost reverting back to like no shame and trying to hide anything, any details about yourself. So I'm interested if like maybe they're in that kind of the most thing. That's where I was trying to think.
Starting point is 00:28:16 And like usually it doesn't bug me with that, but I was like, that's such a weird mentality to go to a first and foremost, a gay club that has people who constantly use nicknames or stage names or entertainment names constantly. So I'm just like, sorry, do you know where you are? Well, it just seems very confrontational when you're meeting someone for the first time. For the first time. That's why I was so thrilled.
Starting point is 00:28:36 You know what I have a friend of a friend? No, you know what happened? This is what happened. I saw a very nice person with a nice jacket and I go, Hi, I just want to say I really like your style and that jacket is awesome. It was a fuzzy jacket with a graffiti on it. Yeah, because like majority of the time,
Starting point is 00:28:51 in terms of compliments and I tell people this all the time, I like to compliment people on like glasses or clothes that they're wearing because majority of the time, you never know if someone's feeling self-conscious about it. Yeah, after a few years. It's like affirmations, like, hey, don't feel self-conscious about it. It's really good. It choices, like those are things that they, hey, don't feel self conscious about it. It's also like those are really good choices.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Like those are things that they, you know, worked to pick out and stuff. Yeah. And it makes my day when like someone notices that, like, you know, I have nice frames or that. I'm wearing like nice shoes or like a nice panel or something like that. Yeah, like you're, by the way, as you can say, like you're hot and also I need it.
Starting point is 00:29:22 That's not the sad. But yeah, it was, it threw me off because it wasn't even like, I came at them at a disrespectful like you're right. You went out of your way to possibly, right? And it's the smallest thing, people don't realize it. But me and BK were talking about you, me and BK just went shopping for a wigs and stuff. And I was in her chat.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And she had been going live for 30 minutes on like Sunday and she was wearing one of the wigs, right and they say oh my god, you knew it looks amazing She's like and she said honestly, thank you. No one had sent anything. I was starting to worry if it look good or not Because no one had mentioned it and it's it really is the small like something that I thought meant nothing Because I was with her when she bought it. So I was just like yes, you know trying to hype her up But you really never know what someone's going through, like you said. And it's, it's the smallest way to just buy someone's day. Even just walking on the street, I don't do this as much as I need to.
Starting point is 00:30:11 But if I lock eyes with someone, I'll try to do like a smile. Same thing here. I have very little spoons for a small talk here. And when we, especially not at A.H. is in their 10th, 10th space in the middle of everything, but the very least, if I don't have the spoons for all the talk, I'll do my best to literally wave and smile at every single person I walk by because you don't know what people are going through. You don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:30:31 And like, just, there's nothing wrong with just being friendly. So for you to have been friendly and then been met with more than that, it's just, I don't know. It rusts me the wrong way, especially since you're my friend. I would, I would,
Starting point is 00:30:44 really those, when I go out, I'm very protective. And if I was there, I probably would've done my best, not to be involved, because I probably would've been bad. I would've had a talking. I would've sat down. I would've sat down. Kai Barbara, so these people were kind of fucking me. No, because I'm the kind of person that if someone bumps me
Starting point is 00:31:03 in the club, I bump back with my big ass and make them go to the ground. So I'm the kind of guy. If someone bumps me in the club, I I bump back with my big ass and make them go to the ground. So I have I have the teacher talk. No, go. All right, guys, so this is my friend. He came over and he's trying to be nice. And then all of a sudden, you're attacking him for this thing. And it's just really rude. And I really think you should think about your actions. That's so good. Okay, bye. Have a good night. Yeah. With the eyes. That's that's actually what happened at another show. There was this woman who was very drunk and she kept bumping into my friend and my partner.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I get very territorial protective. There you are, protective is the best term. Of my partner, and if you're with my partner in an uncomfortable situation, and I can read that immediately, all like lights go off in my head being like, we need to intervene right now. Yeah. And this God, this woman just kept bumping into him
Starting point is 00:31:48 and then didn't say excuse me when like putting a glass between him and almost hit him in the face. And I was like, hey, I'm gonna need you to back off. It was me. Yeah, it was, it was barbed. And then I thought barbed, barbed, barbed, but, the barbed, the barbed, the one.
Starting point is 00:32:03 It's strong. But I had a conversation with her. I was like, I need you to back off, basically, because she was not giving space to anyone. And then she tried to apologize, but I was like, hi, I don't need an apology. Just enjoy the show. I'm trying to vibe with my friends. Please. And then she just wouldn't respect that boundary.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I feel like I need to come out with you guys to observe. Maybe something you guys are doing. No, it's not. It's not just kidding, I was kidding. I mean, we play the tape back and it's just them like punching in the air. It's actually me, I was the girl. I know the places you go to because I go to you with them and I try not to talk about it because I've been,
Starting point is 00:32:41 I've actually been getting a lot of dislike for bringing up race relations, race relations as much as it is. But even hearing you tell the story and I know the place you want to, so I know kind of the demographic of people you're probably dealing with. And hearing you say, like, this is probably how you approach them scares me to this day too.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Because I've had moments where I've just been like, hey, respectfully do this thing. And I've had, I've been called security on for being aggressive. When I'm literally just asking you to be like, hey, we were here first, can you stop bumping into me? And then getting called to a situation. So it's really a situation of this.
Starting point is 00:33:15 You're trying to set a boundary for yourself to literally just have fun with your group of friends. And then other people, again, that it's, I keep saying entitlement because it's almost that feel like they can into your space because they feel like they have a right to. Yeah there's something like I kind of just to be on a soapbox for a little bit but so there's still racism within the queer community that's a thing so a lot of the times when going out you can kind of see it or kind of experience it and I
Starting point is 00:33:40 haven't experienced it a lot but I still experience it to this day where like for example I was on the dance floor and some lady hit me with a belt. And I was like, where the? On purpose? No, it was collateral, but she hit me with a belt. And it hit me like, no.
Starting point is 00:33:53 And I was like, what the hell is going on here? And me and my friends, like how do conversation with her, they're like, hey, that's not okay to do. Like you can't do that on a dance floor. I know, she's swinging a heavy thing. That's what I can do. But also, I constantly get told, told like I'm aggressive if I'm ever
Starting point is 00:34:07 confronting. I'm like I'm the kindest fucking person and I know I'm the kindest fucking person. I'm only aggressive on the internet and I pretend to be. So literally it's he's lying by the way. I'm like I'm the moon is person that works to a teeth and I want everyone to fuck. Yeah, no it's the point now where I'll have friends
Starting point is 00:34:25 who are lighter than me, approach situations when I, which is so annoying because I'm the kind of person that believes in standing up for yourself, right? I'm the kind of person that believes in, don't let people walk all over you because I used to be that person that got walked all over all the time and it destroyed me for a long time. But now I'm honest about, I truly can't even put myself
Starting point is 00:34:44 in this issue and just stand up for myself or my friends. Like I have to tell them like, a long time. But now I'm not on and about. I truly can't even put myself in a situation to stand up for myself or my friends. Like I have to tell them like, Hey, if you need me to suffer, you I can. But this is probably how you should handle the situation. Because if I do it, I'll be seen as a certain kind of then it's a problem. Yeah, exactly. And yeah. And then my majority of the time I'm down to be a problem with you making a problem. Like I'm ready. But I'm just like, do I really feel like dealing with that level of it tonight? Always be the villain. I'm always ready.
Starting point is 00:35:09 I'm always ready. This episode of The Restreet Podcast is brought to you by Better Help.

Starting point is 00:36:49 Oh my God. Back to the black man. Find you a villain who enjoys it. Yeah. It's actually funny you bring that up because we do the show, Tales from the Sticky Dragon. I've heard us talk about it before, but we have a lot of our friends do these cameo voices.
Starting point is 00:37:02 One of which is Rikhelli, who plays a big villain in the show named Inku, and the way she voices it, it sounds like she has a smile on her face. Like it's a villain who loves being a villain, and I think that is the creepiest way to voice a character. Like it is so. It's almost like half ledgers kind of joker too,
Starting point is 00:37:23 just very like, I'm gonna kill you. It's gonna be awesome Like very excited. Oh my god. I love that. Yeah. Oh my god. She's great So if you haven't listened to stinky dragon already tails from the stinky dragon We're having so much fun with it. We're almost done this campaign too. I mean if you were to pick a favorite villain the quadring Stove air Just say I love arms I'm down for it. I've never actually done a D&D campaign. I would love to try it. I love arms. Just say it. I love arms. I'm down for it. I'm down for it. I've never actually done a D&D campaign.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I would love to try it, but I'd never know where to start. Where would you start? I mean, I know this is just another plug for the show, but with stales from the Stinky Dragon, none of us really knew how to play D&D very well. So if you just listen to the podcast, you could kind of hear us learn how to do it along the way. We keep it pretty light the way. It's so cool. We keep it pretty light. Yeah, it's the focus on the fun.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Yeah. But yeah, we're wrapping up our current campaign that we have going in the next few weeks, and then we're working on a new campaign, a new tale from the stinky dragon. Should start pretty soon after that. I don't know what the exact time frame is. Yeah. I think I voiced the character. I was asked.
Starting point is 00:38:24 You think? I was asked. So I voiced the character. I was asked. You think? So voice the character for an episode. I don't know what's happened yet. Okay, I don't know. I just remember someone asked me like, have you ever done it? I'm like, yes, I really want to get the voice acting. So I did it. You read the lines and everything. I read the lines, reported it, sent it in. No idea what ever came of that. How long goes this maybe a month ago? Okay. so it's possible the episode isn't out yet or it recently came out. No idea. Yeah, we'll look into it.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I'm trying to see. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, because I know I played like two people. I played your dad. You did. Or one of your dads. One of my dads.
Starting point is 00:38:57 And also Quadran and obviously Quadran was the one I can't say this. I can figure out. Yeah, there might be, yeah, if it's not yet out yet. There's some of my best spoilers. It was really cool because that was the first time I got to like voice act lines. And you were natural. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I appreciate that. I had so much fun and I was like, oh, I'll take multiple takes. And I was like, by then. It's almost like you were born to play Blaine's Arch Nemesis. You know, it's just, it's a hard not life, right? It's really hard to play. It's really hard to play in Nemesis, but someone has to do it, you know?
Starting point is 00:39:30 But no, I know like I genuinely enjoy talking, so. Wow, who would have guessed? I've had no idea. Wow, I've just known for never shutting up. Boy, do we have a job for you?

Starting point is 00:39:59 You will when it happens. You'll come back on the podcast and talk about it. Yeah, we can talk about it on the podcast, but I'm excited for a couple of stuff that we're doing. And also, I can now announce this. I think because if I remember correctly, I can announce it, but Paxi's is coming up. I'm going to be going to Paxi's. I'm going to be stealing Griff to come with me. And we're going to be doing some fun,
Starting point is 00:40:22 little content at Paxi's. So, uh-huh. Film us some videos. Film us some videos. Film some videos that you know. If you see them run. Yeah, if you see them, if you see both of us- Run away. Do run away. Do not say hi, huge fan.

Yeah, we used to. Like crazy, we should. Have you been to PAXYs before? PAXYs was the first time I got recognized. stuff because I feel like it's. We used to. Yeah, we used to. Like crazy. We should.

And I'm like, yeah, I am. And they were like, hi, I really loved you in this content and stuff like that. And I'm seeing here, like, I really need to pee. Of course you do.

Yeah, so when posted a picture of them with a Gus and Gus looks so young. We've been doing this a long time. Yeah, well that was 10 years or more than no, I think it was 12 years ago. Yeah, there's a couple of things I've been there's a little baby Eric in there. Eric but do we're when he's so-or for me, 64. I've seen the pictures of you at a con, I think, too. I was like, oh my god, everyone's so young. But I've been trying to go backtrack on RT content a little bit.
Starting point is 00:41:50 I recently just watched, which one was it, SimpleWalk? SimpleWalk into Mordor. SimpleWalk into Mordor, very fucking funny. Or a SimpleWalk. I really enjoyed it, but I'm going backwards and looking at content, because I have seen a little bit already, and I kind of know like the basis of everything but I really wanna take the time to enjoy
Starting point is 00:42:08 like what has happened in the past and like how we can like revamp it. Do you want suggestions? Yeah, sure. I'll give you some suggestions, also anybody watching. Yeah, definitely give me suggestions. We don't need to watch something
Starting point is 00:42:18 and I'll tell you if I either seen it or not. Yeah. Or then maybe it's something you can check out. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot. Oh,'s something you can check out. There's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot. Oh, there's a lot. Oh, this is like, honestly, it's like trying
Starting point is 00:42:29 to catch up on one piece or something. Yeah. You know, someone's got to do it. It's a lot of content. And we're about to have more content. What? Well, blah, blah. We kind of soft announced it last week,
Starting point is 00:42:44 but if you've seen my hat, or if you're listening to the audio podcast, you don't know what hat I'm wearing. We announced a new brand slash channel that we are doing called All Good Noories. It's going to be Fem lead content. It's a Fem lead channel. We're gonna have Always Open,
Starting point is 00:43:01 which some of you may be familiar with. That's gonna live on the All Good Noories channel as well as a ton of other content we're working on with a bunch of FEMS around the company. So, be on the lookout for that. You can subscribe to us. It's a youtube.com slash at All Good Noories if you wanna go directly to the channel.
Starting point is 00:43:19 And we're also on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, all the platforms. So that's gonna be a big project that we're taking on, but always open, it's like, it's crazy to be back doing that show. Yeah, you've already recorded two episodes of it. We did two episodes last week for the first two episodes that we're here, and then we're gonna do another two this week.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah, and also amazing that's coming out during Women's History Month. Yeah, I know. I was like, that's a timing worked out. Amazing. Wow. Yeah. Wasn was like, timing worked out. Amazing. Wow. Yeah. Wasn't there like a character limit problem
Starting point is 00:43:49 with like the Twitter handle or something? Yeah, so on Twitter, I couldn't write all good no worries. I think I was one character too long. And so I just put all good worries. Oh, good worries. Which I think is a funny handle. But a lot of people were like, oh, just do like all good no worry like a single one or like all G no
Starting point is 00:44:10 Worry or something and I'm like I mean as long as people type all good It'll probably show up before they get to the new. Yeah, just go follow all good worries And then you'll hear me out cry hear me out Mondo and I have a show on there. We call it all Bad do worry or all worries no good worry no good So if you all get a show on there, can you just be me doing a whole bunch of things for that are considered painful for famed by lying masculine to
Starting point is 00:44:38 like period crams like having the pregnancy thing, but I mean, fam doesn't necessarily mean vagina. So like, this is literally be anything. I think that would be very fun and I'm down for this and I'm also going to sign up Ramanda for this. I mean, I'm not gonna have a choice. We never know. We'll just make it a secret.
Starting point is 00:44:56 We'll make it a secret. Yeah, but I'm excited for that. We can be a podcast, I think this, I think like having all good no worries, like a thin lead like space and network is just so good, and it's super cool to see Roots which is moving in that direction. Because I'm personally for me,
Starting point is 00:45:12 I'm all about community engagement, inclusion and diversity. So seeing that and hearing that, I'm like, oh, it's so cool. I'm so excited and it just makes me pumped. It's something that I've wanted to do for many, many years. And finally, I think the I think, the right time and we got the right people involved, the right shows,
Starting point is 00:45:30 just kind of hoping to really grow that into its own thing, have like our own little network of awesome things. It's gonna be fun, right? Just like good vibes all around. It's gonna be fun. That's really like, when we were talking about the different shows that we wanted on the channel, we were all like, they just have to fit the fit the vibe like I can't describe what that is
Starting point is 00:45:48 But they have to fit the vibe so good all vibes. Yeah, if you like always open You'll probably like every single show on the channel Yeah, Gus and Gus actually approved all the vibes It's true the vibe person he's a vibe check I give you a vibe check. Yeah, Gus vibe checking every day He's like hey, you're vibe and I'm like I know I'm like I'm working on it. B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B and brand new shows too that I'm very excited for. That's really soon. Yes, it's in March. We're premiering in March.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I think March 7th is the public release of the first episode of Always Open? So because there's a four week. Yeah. And then hoping to get another show from Kion BK, that's in the works. So that should be very fun. Can't announce it yet.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I know it's gotta go through the proper- Gotta go through the proper processes. Yeah, and announce it yet. I know it's got to go through the proper... Got to go through the proper processes. Yeah, but... But... We'll be looking on it hoping to have info for you guys soon. I see people in chat saying that they subscribe to the YouTube channel. Go subscribe. Go go go check it out.
Starting point is 00:46:55 My eyes were super wide because I was like wait, is March 7th like the official day? March 7th, yeah. Okay, so everyone write that down right now please. March 7th. Technically March 6th if you're a Ristratif first year. Yeah. Ting Ting. Okay, get that first and then you have everyone else.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Yeah, I think what I really like about all good know worries is that like we said, there's a vault of content in Ristratif, but at the same time, each kind of has their own niches and nuances and something that at least when me and BK were talking to you about how we wanted to be a part of it is that you know being fem on maybe like a brand like achievement hunter, some things that you want to do just don't fit that brand specifically which is perfectly fine. Or the audiences that have been cultivated.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Because that vote has been created and it thrives in what it is. But then when you come as yourself and you're just like, man, there's this one part of me that wants to create this kind of content that I just, it just doesn't fit here. Where can it fit? It fits in all the no worries. So I'm really excited. A lot of people have been asking us for it for a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:47:56 And if the show pops up, then y'all can expect Team Friendly Fire to make a comeback. And we're really excited about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think also something that I don't want to speak for the whole company. But I think something that Ruchertjeeth is kind of going towards
Starting point is 00:48:12 is really knowing what audiences are for which shows and which properties. And so really leaning into like, all right, the target audience for this is this group of people. Let's really make content for this group and like really give them what they want and really make a fun time with this. And I think it kind of goes for everything we're making
Starting point is 00:48:31 of just like recognizing what it is and not trying to necessarily please every single person, every type of person, you know. Well, when you're trying to make something for everybody, you end up making something for nobody. It's tough. Yeah. You also lose yourself in the process. Yeah, you're not genuinely or authentically everybody you end up making something for nobody. It's tough. You also lose yourself in the process. You lose yourself.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Genuinely or authentically providing yourself for that content and it's gonna come off as fake. And like a different than like, obviously everything we make, everyone could enjoy it. We're not trying to be exclusionary in any sense of the word, but it's more of, we think this audience would really enjoy this content. So that's where making it.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's something you see all the time of like, if you look at big brands and big companies is like if you just cater to this audience like monetarily you could be making like 10 15% more because if no one's catering to them not saying that no one's catering to fend for it now but very few are and then you decide to enter the space it really is a race to be the first person to do it because now you are giving this channel this group of people something look forward to something they can relate to because again we, we're being specific, not just general with it.
Starting point is 00:49:28 And through that, you're providing them a face and a space. That's why I see someone who's doing it kind of well as Disney. Disney has started moving their animated films into more diversity and inclusion. And the amount of times I see TikToks of like just little kids being like, that looks like me. Like you didn't see that in the past, but you see it now. And it just shows that there is an audience out there for everything. You just have to be willing to be the first person to see,
Starting point is 00:49:53 like, can I pick their brains and figure, you have to be willing to figure it out. Yeah. Everyone wants to copy someone else. They don't want to figure it out. And it's tough. Yeah. It's really tough.
Starting point is 00:50:03 It's just also, I really want to highlight the fact that not every content is going to be for everyone or they're not gonna resonate with it Which is okay because there's other RT content out there that you can resonate with so much content out there And I'm like, oh, I can see myself within this. I've actually Was really nice with the STF streams. I've been seeing people talk about it's nice to finally see myself in like Chit and Chat and see myself in like R.T. content and this is great and like the stuffy squatties and squirties out there. Oh, you said you should. I know.
Starting point is 00:50:33 You put quotation marks around it. He's really out there. I really appreciate that type of feedback because it's like I must, I'm doing something right or like we're doing something right with having the conversations with having stuff like that. Right. I think it's an important conversation I have to that. I think there's a level of entitlement
Starting point is 00:50:49 assuming that everything you consume, you have to enjoy, because not everything is made for everyone. And for, let's use Ruby as an example. There's people who love Ruby. It's like everything to them. And there's other people who watch and they go, I hate this. I don't understand how anybody likes it. Therefore, I, this sucks. It's like everything to them. And there's other people who watch it and they go, I hate this.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I don't understand how anybody likes it. Therefore, I, this sucks. It's bad. It's bad. But then you have another group of people going, well, I love it. So no opinion is more important or better than the other. But if you like something, like it, and if you don't, you don't. I promise you there's something out there for you.
Starting point is 00:51:24 You could find something you like more and you don't. I promise you there's something out there for you. You could find something you like more, and you don't have to shit on people who do enjoy something because it doesn't line up with your particular taste. It's a very, it's a hard conversation to have when you're in the industry of content creation. Thanks for saying it, though. But not everything is made for everyone. And sometimes you just got to recognize that.
Starting point is 00:51:39 And it's okay not to like things, but don't shit on people who do. That's it. I appreciate you saying that Piss am I right? No, that's also funny because I saw a carbon and like one of the last RT pods they were like 737 episodes and we're still talking about piss. Let's go Baby, we have not grown You know got to got to keep it for this episode as well. It was relevant back then Still pissed it's still shit every day calling in parker says thank you for organizing
Starting point is 00:52:14 You should shit every day Yeah, you should shit every day. It's normal not to though. There's some people who there's some people who Yeah, like every two history you like it and then I don't, that's what you need to hate. Yeah. Don't, don't, don't shit on me a hater. I came here to be a hater. You are the villain.
Starting point is 00:52:33 This is our villain art. This is a, I feel like I'm being a bad influence on everyone here. Just be like a sloth and climb down from the trees once a week. You wish you could influence me. I wish. One of these days.
Starting point is 00:52:44 It's always so funny to me when I look at comments. And it's the definition of the duality of man, where one comment will be like, oh, I love when they do scripted stuff like this. This was so funny. And then the next comment you read will be like, I hate when they do scripted stuff. This was awful.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I didn't laugh once, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, do you not, like, not? I think that's. I need to see the other person literally right below you. Yeah I think that's, I mean, I need the other person, literally, right below you. Yeah. And I mean, that's just also proving your point that you can't cater to every one. You can't, it's impossible.
Starting point is 00:53:10 And I think that's something I've realized soon, or really quickly. And I talked about it last time when I opened up my DMs to the public, which thank you so much for influencing me to do that, because you did that. And I was like, oh, this is great. But being able to see people comment and be like,
Starting point is 00:53:26 hey, I'm a longtime RT fan. And like I've been watching since R versus B. And honestly, yeah. R versus B. R versus B, I've never heard anyone call it. I can't even think of any RBB. RBB, but so funny. Ruth versus Bater.
Starting point is 00:53:44 That's what I was thinking. That's what I was Vader. That's what I was thinking. That's what you said. So you talked about opening up your DMs and people messaging you. Jordan Swiers used to do something a long time ago that I always thought was a really good idea. And I've always wanted to do it, but you really can't do it anymore these days. But he used to do a thing where if he was traveling or he was out somewhere and he saw a pay phone, would tweet the phone number of the pay phone and be like I'm gonna be answering the phone for the next 10 minutes Oh, that's sad. And then just have people like call and just like answer the the pay phone and the talk with him for a little while
Starting point is 00:54:14 And then just like hang up and just try to have like a bunch of different mini conversations But it's like where can you find a fucking pay phone now? I also love the idea of him being done with it leaving and that payphone still ringing because I thought I'm just like you delete the tweet. Yeah, I'm not doing this anymore. So we're walking down to your coast. Hello. Yeah, but just going off your point, it's something I've thought about doing for a long time because we always talk about like anytime people can speak to me like in my streams or
Starting point is 00:54:38 anything, they have a lot to say. And it's very easy to get absorbed by the negative. And it happened to me, I, there was a point where I was very jaded, very not okay. It's honestly why one of the reasons why I took a break from being in content for a while, because there was just so much hate. And it was to a number and a degree that I could not handle and as rapid as it was coming at me. And so I closed myself off. And I didn't know how to let myself be me again,
Starting point is 00:55:06 in a lot of content, or even be me again, kind of in person, because I didn't know who I was. And if I was trying to cater to someone, if I was doing things to be me, and recently I've been good, I've been better. So it just occurred to me, I'm just like, let me see what happens when, because again, when you're on the internet,
Starting point is 00:55:22 you're opening yourself up to everyone, to be vulnerable to literally anyone. So I'm like, let me see what happens when I open up to myself to people that I no care for me. And I was expecting a little bit of bad, but I personally got over 200 messages and not a single one was negative. Oh, nice. Yeah. Like, it would let me change that. Absolutely. I need to keep you humble. I'm just kidding. No, keep, please. I'm even late because that's why I stole your star. It was a favor for you. I think the funniest part about it too though is like, so
Starting point is 00:55:53 example, there are people like Chris Lawrence, who was a part I need to blizz fucking message me. I'm just like, so you have access to me all the time. I was like, I don't care. If you're going to open your DMs, I'm going to DM you right now to tell you that you were one of my big inspirations. I said, shut up. Stop it. Oh, that's what we need.
Starting point is 00:56:06 We're about to be crying. We need to stop. We have to do some chips. We want some chips a lot. Make you feel better. We just have to sing for any time that we're, because we hang out enough, but any time where we support each other kind of industry professionally wise, we're really just trying to want to be together on things. Like anytime you raid me, you're trying to be, I start spooing all this amazing thing about Blizzies,
Starting point is 00:56:29 like Kai, no shut up, stop. Anytime I raid him, he's just like, Kai, if you guys are not following Kai, da da da da da da, as we're always trying to one up each other just to say like, I would not be the influence that I am about Blizz, he says the same thing to me. And it's just, it's really awesome knowing that there's people out there that don't know you
Starting point is 00:56:46 and are willing to get that. But even, it honestly means even more so that people that know me, the good, and sometimes not so good, and still would be willing to go into my DMs and be like, you know what, you're kind of a fucking badass. Yeah, I mean, I could at least speak from my experience. I remember when I first tweeted out,
Starting point is 00:57:02 I wanted to work with Rupert, you vouched for me. And then this was like when I was first getting to know you. And I was like, we did not know each other at all. But you were like, honestly vouched because you seemed like fucking cool. And I was like, oh yeah, when we got to meet in person, you're really cool. First time I appeared on an achievement hunter like stream. Barbara was in the chat, rooting for me. My boyfriend saw it. And was like, bar was in there. And I was like, yeah, that's my boy, let's go. And like, I've been trying to be friends with Gus
Starting point is 00:57:28 every single day. He's a top-notch jerk. I told people about this all the time. It's a heart shell. Like Gus, like we're not gonna go to a bar or anything like that, but I do appreciate it when like, you have moments where you do think of me and I don't know if you know that you think of me
Starting point is 00:57:43 when you say like, hey, there's actually this vegan spot that I want to take you to. Or the one time where I was like, yeah, it's rainy, I want soup. And you're like, oh, let's go to soup patterns. I was like, that's a really good dude. I think he doesn't get that printed stock. No, don't tell me. Okay, we're not gonna compliment God. Don't tell them.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Yeah, God says the meanest part of it. God says great because if you need any sort of advice on anything, Gus has it. What is it? I'm just like, the thing in my house is broken. Do you know who I should call? And you're like, it's like, it's like, it riffs off super well too. And I'm just like, oh god damn it.
Starting point is 00:58:16 But just to like talk about everyone here, like everyone at this table has believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. And it's really nice. Yeah, Jerry's a little bit. No, no bar, no bar, please keep bullying me. Please. We're getting too emotional. We're getting too emotional, I need it.
Starting point is 00:58:33 But yeah, there's a lot of people who, like especially in the RT, just group and outside, RT that believed in me and is the motivation for me continuing what I'm doing. Look at you now. We're good at seeing people. We're good to see the potential and the value people bring to things,
Starting point is 00:58:50 even if they can't see themselves. And I think something that I really appreciate about Rooster Teeth, especially this year. We've had a hard year. Everyone here has each other's backs, like hardcore. And we've been through a lot of really tough times together as a group and individually. And the camaraderie in this building with these people
Starting point is 00:59:13 is like, the audience doesn't get to see that as much. Yeah, they don't. But it really, it's really strong and it really exists. And I think like everyone here has each other's backs. And we all just like, we just wanna make good shit shit. We want to make like fun content. We want to have fun with each other. We want to entertain. We want to have fun. We want to other to show other people help them have fun. Yeah. And that's really what it is and what it's
Starting point is 00:59:35 all about. Yeah. Yeah. Basically what it is. Yeah. I genuinely want to most beautiful things about us. So who came in as a fan as so in who was, I don't know, has watched how fun has changed. People keep saying like, overstief is not the same as it used to be, of course not. People grow, people change. And like seeing how it's changed and seeing how it's trying to open itself to be from where people like me, like Blizz, like BK, like Grif, like Laurel or Kat Scratch, like our friends
Starting point is 01:00:03 outside as well. And it's just so cool because back then it was great for what it was then. And now it's great for what it is now because it truly is more thing in changing to fit the people that it's supposed to in the moment that it is. So I'm kind of happy we're not who we used to be. I still love it. I was a fan back then. I'm a fan now. I'll still go back and watch those videos and be like,
Starting point is 01:00:26 and thanks for that. So I can't believe that I'm not in the position I am now. But it's just so cool to see something more and change. Because not everything can more and change. Yeah. And it's like a, it's not like a drastic change in my opinion, but it could be dropped. That's so completely subjective.
Starting point is 01:00:44 That's the correct term for it. But there is like a couple of changes that are happening within the company that I finally see myself within the content. And then I also see myself within the content because I see myself. Yeah, that's your face. But like, because I started watching Rupertia Theran around 2019 or it was either 2019 or 2021, if you want to be on a Nova joined. So like, I got to say, that's when I started 2017, re-watching it heavily. But I've been watching since I was in middle school, 2012, 2013.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Yeah, oh my God. Yeah. I remember that was like the theme of prop time. Oh yeah. Well, middle school 2013. I mean, also like, I got to say, I was turning and I've been going so hard trying not to say anything age-wise.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I've been trying my best not to look at Gus, but I thought about it. We're gonna cut back to Gus and he's gonna be an urn. It's like, next up, it's a skeleton, Ben urn, you're like, why is it progressing? Yeah, it just ashes. It's the growth, it's the more. The change.
Starting point is 01:01:43 There's also like, you know, we're just, you started out with red versus blue. And like, I remember when y'all added animation to red versus blue, people were freaking out. Some people like really enjoyed it. And some people were like, what the fuck? This isn't machinima, this isn't true to what red versus blue is, and then you guys added shorts.
Starting point is 01:01:58 And like, all these things that people felt like the core of the company was changing and that they didn't want change. But like, man, if we were still just making our versus B, you know. I mean, that's what it is at its core. It would be pretty bored. No matter what you do, there are a lot of people who don't like change. And, you know, even now, things that are popular today were viewed unfairly,
Starting point is 01:02:22 or like they weren't very popular when they started. It's easy to forget that now when things become more popular if everyone latches on to it. So it's easy to get lost in the weeds when that stuff starts and you know, lose your direction. Well, it's tough to because everyone here is so creative and there's just like an endless amount of creative ideas. And there's just not enough time in the day to do them all. And I think that's why there's oftentimes World Sense at One Project to start a new, or like bring stuff back because we want to try it again. Because we just always want to try stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Yeah, I was gonna do stuff. That's why, sorry, I saw you're about to say something. Oh, no, it was something not about this, I'll be honest. Oh, I was just gonna say that's why kind of, like history month this year has kind of meant the world to me because you know, it's something that I wasn't trying to spearhead when I first cram up with a bunch of ideas. I truly was just trying to think,
Starting point is 01:03:16 I don't want to do nothing for black history month. So I went kind of me and BK sat down and we were like, what do we want to do? And we were like, and how can we make it inclusive to the content that we're already creating? I feel like a lot of people wanted us to do something above and beyond and be like scream, like blackly black, black history month, we're doing something completely new,
Starting point is 01:03:35 which is to me a little bit what live streams have been in the past, which is amazing because that's purely based on showcasing black talent. But we wanted to show that black experiences are part of every day. It doesn't have to be something special. I mean, it always is special, but its existence is special enough. And then to have gone from me and BK have maybe like six ideas to I'm trying to say how much I can reveal. You cannot reveal. I can't reveal the thing. I know I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. Now I want to know. Tell cannot reveal. I can't reveal the thing. I know I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't. Now I want to know tell me later. But to have that to be then working
Starting point is 01:04:10 alongside like John Holland from Funhouse, Griffin, Blizz here, and then even working like I have never been in such a position. I've worked here for two years now. I've never been in such a position where I've been able to talk to higher ups, been able to talk to the design team, the social team, the different direct leads and the brands for all of us to really come together and be like, yes, we're going to make this month something special. And it doesn't even have to be special outwardly, but it just felt good for me as a black woman.
Starting point is 01:04:38 And it felt good for me. And if that means it also feels good for the audience and that's great, but it didn't feel like we had to pawn a a spectacular show like we are spectacular enough as we are The things that you have been doing and I've got to see I got to see everything You have killed it For most of them super excited for the audience to see what everyone has been working on and Sheesh, that's all I can say.
Starting point is 01:05:05 Sheesh. I'm just like the audience. I'm just watching along seeing what you guys have planned. It's okay. I'm gonna shut up for getting, is it problematic over one million within like days? Like four days it got over a million views? That was the funniest story.
Starting point is 01:05:21 We discussed I guess the one of the origins of barrel barrel of laughs. Yeah. I won't explain it, but you should just go watch the video. It's on the squad team force Instagram and TikTok and Twitter as well. It is, I watched the raw footage of that like before it was even edited and I was howling. It was so funny. And we were actually just talking about it right before the show, but I watched the show on Netflix called The Circle, which maybe you guys are familiar with, but there was a cast member of The Circle who shared it on his Instagram. I saw! And I was like, oh!
Starting point is 01:05:58 Oh, I would have freaked out! His name was, how was it? I could find it for you here in like two seconds. But I like message back from the squad team before some playing. Thank you for sharing Yeah, that's it's super cool His name is here it is Everson nice. Erison. He was the Reverend. He was in soup. Yeah season four. I think of the circle. Yes. Yeah I think it was like someone He was playing his wife or like his wife was playing him or something I there was some connection there I think I don't remember
Starting point is 01:06:28 Yeah, but it's been it's a problem out it's very funny because I stream on twitch So some people will come in and be like I saw you on a tick-tock You're a problem, but I was like You're right. Yeah, yeah, okay It's fun when my sister who goes to a HBCU Hampton University Yeah, and I'll be face-time here and then one of her friends in the room will be like you're that girl in that tick-tock. You were canceled before and I think that's is that the number one is it problematic the one where I think that one's at like six
Starting point is 01:06:56 million yeah six point one maybe six million people watching that was for us discussing the term basket case. Yeah. We're going to need their relays. Just go watch it. Just go watch it. I was like, it's a really cool series. And we're kind of, can't talk about that.
Starting point is 01:07:16 No, can't talk about that a little bit. Is it stuff that's releasing? It's not stuff for releasing the stuff that we're going to be doing soon with it. But I'm excited. I am excited about that. Yay. That's all we're gonna be doing soon. Okay. With it, but I'm excited. I am excited about that. Yeah. That's all we're gonna say about that.
Starting point is 01:07:27 But I was talking all about all good and worries and detail. I'm giving all the information. I don't want to be the Tom Holland Bruce R.T. Because I will. That job's taken. This is come. See that young face. See that young face.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Gus is the Tom Holland of R.T. Zendaya is coming for you. No. I was more of a story. I think the Tom Holland of Rooster Chiefs. Zendaya is coming for you. No, no, no. I was more of a story. I think what we can all agree on is Rooster Chief has a lot of projects coming out, whether it's your organ or his, my heritage moon, squad team forest. There's a lot of things that I've built. I really wish I could say right now, but I'm actually really happy about when it
Starting point is 01:07:59 happens. But you can kind of tell that, like, you can see the passion when we're talking about it. That makes us super excited for you all to experience as well, like, the things that we can't say, but we're like, oh, you're gonna like us. I'll say one thing right now. Everyone, I have a tweet in my drafts that say,
Starting point is 01:08:15 if me and BK did blank, would y'all make it go viral? You better retweet it! If you make that tweet go viral, and then the blank go viral as well. Is this potentially the thing you filmed? Yes. Yes it is.
Starting point is 01:08:28 I really, that's awesome. I've heard nothing but amazing things about that whole day. Very happy about it. We're talking about- Teasing a tease, huh? Welcome to the secret. Yeah, we're bringing cosplay to Ruchitev, me and BKR's headlining cosplay department here and the next
Starting point is 01:08:45 I don't know. Oh, I thought that was real. I was like no, no, no, I mean I have an idea for us For costume. Yeah, Master Rishi We can get you a master Rishi from talking about I'm gonna be the old man from up That would kill you also, okay, but to that point though Gus just cuz you are of Less young age. Less young age. If I say, oh, he's gonna get on me.
Starting point is 01:09:09 If I say, less young, he's gonna get on me. You're older than me. That does not mean that the characters you play have to also depict. You don't have to do masturbation, you don't have to do old man for me. You be the karate kid. You be the karate kid. I can be Tom Holland. You can be Tom Holland.
Starting point is 01:09:23 We can make you Tom Holland. You can be Peter Parker. No, karate kid I can be Tom Holland you can be Tom Holland we can make you don't know cosplay Tom Holland Whatever you want to be I said this on my stream once because someone came and being like yeah I did cosplay. I would only be able to be these characters I'm like no the beauty the beauty of cosplay is that these characters don't exist you will not hurt their feelings by portraying them You could be whatever you want to be, literally anything. Yeah. And the same thing for life.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Be whatever you want to be, baby. As long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. Right. Or yourself. Like maybe don't be a Nazi. Don't maybe. Maybe not. That's not a great idea.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yeah, don't. In support trans folks, because that's a big one. And I'm currently wearing a shirt that's a. That's a conversation. There's something that's current events that really is. I love that. Did you bleach that yourself? No, so I went to a club and I saw a DJ wearing the exact shirt. And I went up to him and I said,
Starting point is 01:10:17 hi, I really love your shirt. Can you give me a website or word of eye and then you give me the website? And it says protect trans kids. And I purposely, like I told my Child yesterday I was like I'm wearing this on our two pod because it's a good fucking shirt. I don't even know what's that kids on the Bum I can't see that. I there's a little knife. I have a shirt that also says protect trans kids, but it's like in the trans flag colors. Oh, but this one has a knife. So I need to get this one. I know. I will send you all send you the other colors as well. Yeah, I like that. I like that. It's a it's a good one. I know the answer to roses except I'll send you, I'll send you a link. Send me the link. There's other colors as well.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Yeah, I like that. I like that. It's a, it's a, it's a good one. Do you get an exception of colors? Is this the DJ? Just need to add a nice. For your copycat. Yeah, I'm a copycat.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Damn. I saw the style and I was like, I can make this my own and some. No originality. Yeah. Wow. Did the DJ have the necklace in the hat? No. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:11:01 No, everyone would work the one with me. I've had the necklace in the hat. Oh, yeah. We all have to do that. I think for RTX, we should have a, a blizz day where people dress up as boys. What, wait, wait, wait to be entitled. Wait a minute, all about you. Okay, I like it.
Starting point is 01:11:14 What's the birthday again? March 5th. You should like, try to secretly subvert like an STF panel or anything and try to get everyone in the audience to dress up like you. Wait, your birthday is March 5th. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I was thinking I was like, that's not a Pisces, is it? But it is a Pisces because it starts end of February into mid-March, right? Yeah. Mid-March, okay. Speaking of RTX though, we've been actually been tasked with creating creative like recently for RTX. RTX is going to be very cool this year. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 01:11:42 I have ideas and I need to bring them to the table and I'm excited. Yeah, our meeting about RTX is this week. So we also have to bring ideas to the table. I'm excited. We just did a little quick meeting about all good no worries at RTX and what that might look like. There might be a whole presence there with like tons of fun stuff to do. I volunteer tribute. Oh, you'll be there. You'll be there. You've been volunteered. Yeah, you've been volunteered on on our behalf. Oh, I love that. Yeah, I think it's going to be real fun. I've been thinking about getting buttons made or stickers made. I've talked about this before in our chit and chats where I want to get
Starting point is 01:12:20 buttons to say, Squirty, Squatty or stuffy. Uh huh. And then have you decide you can't have all 30. You get one. I mean, you could buy all three of them out. I'm gonna gate people. Can we have a chit and chat street? Can we buy like a button making machine and just have a chit and chat stream where we make all those buttons?
Starting point is 01:12:38 Yeah, I think it's like two hours. So it's like today we're just gonna hang out. We're just gonna make Squatty. We're gonna make stuffy pins all day. Are you sure? No, I'm not crying. I just think that's very adorable. Yeah, that is very cute.
Starting point is 01:12:51 And we can stream it. We should absolutely be doing that. I'm really excited for you to be RTX because RTX last year you were announced as joining SCF. Yeah, this is my first time. Like a full moment of, and then we all hit for me. Officially a full hire. Have you ever been hired and then had all your co-workers hire you?
Starting point is 01:13:07 Yes, I'm manager of it. I don't know if you saw that video, but... I have. Yeah, basically what we did at RTX, we filmed a little video, we put it out on social, but we played hide and go seek with Blizz right after we announced that we were hiring him, where we all dressed up as essentially attendees and sat in the audience at our panel. And you were dressed exactly like someone else. And I was like, wait, that's not fun.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I was wearing the T-800 hockey jersey and had a yang mask on and a baseball cap and everything and I'm just like, and there's literally someone who looks exactly how you look like a couple of weeks ago. And I'm like, how did you do this? It was very silly, very fun. It was a very fun time.
Starting point is 01:13:46 I'm excited for RTX this year though, because I want to do some degenerate shit, obviously. We're also, this is my first time being a full time person. Yeah, it's gonna be a lot different than it was for you last year. No, yeah, it's gonna be a lot different. And one more work. This one makes three different sizes, this one okay?
Starting point is 01:14:03 Are you getting a button maker right now? Yeah, cute. Oh yeah, let's get button makers. I think it's a big yeah, I'm done Yeah, I love that. I know it'll be here also. I would be remiss if I didn't mention this weekend Is the premiere of Ruby volume nine. Oh, yeah It's come up quick like I I mean, I know it's been like three years since Ruby Come up quick, like, I mean, I know it's been like three years since Ruby. I've been waiting. We've been waiting a long time, but like, we announced, we had the trailer, like less than a month ago,
Starting point is 01:14:32 and all of a sudden I'm like, oh shit, it's this Saturday. Like, Kai, you are not ready. You are not ready. I got a sneak preview of a bunch of the episodes and Yeah, so this is the season so good. So actually Shit did you get to see any no, okay, but for those that don't know I'll be at level up expo this weekend Because I'm going on riding the level of expo and I actually tweeted who should I cosplay when I go there I do have a cosplay for yank So maybe and not yank yank. Sorry Blake. Blake, okay, I was gonna say, I can see you doing both.
Starting point is 01:15:06 So with all, no, the reason I got it confused is because I was gonna do a four with someone else and someone else in the group. So you know, was gonna do yang. Okay, gotcha. I have a costume for Blake, so I'm like, it has to be, if volume nine comes out, I have to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:21 That Friday, I should just be like. Absolutely, it'll be available on Crunchyroll. So make sure you're subscribed to Crunchyroll to see it because that's where Ruby will be this season all on Crunchyroll. They got the exclusive deal. And we're really excited because, um, yeah, just getting a lot of people to watch the show is really cool. A lot of people need to be introduced to the world of Ruby. How's it feel to be on something that's as big as Ruby is? I know even doing it since the beginning,
Starting point is 01:15:47 but like does it feel like change? Does it alter? It's always weird to me. Like going to conventions and meeting people who watch the show or people who like have tattoos of our characters or like whatever it is, I'm just like, oh my god, you really like us. Yeah, yay, we did it!
Starting point is 01:16:04 Really, really, really, really. Really, really, really, really. Really, really, really. There's a, I was talking to Barb in the car because I didn't watch Ruby first, but like now I'm about like season three, part two right now. You're not caught up. Not caught up. I'm going through all of everything,
Starting point is 01:16:23 but I've been playing Paladins where you have Ruby skins in there and Barb is like, yeah, you're playing Yang and I was like, oh no, I play Why? I love Why? This is a Weiss boy. Oh my God, I love a mean girl. I literally, I've met so many Ruby fans over the year, I could almost meet someone and talk to them for like a minute
Starting point is 01:16:41 and know exactly which character is their favorite. He thinks it's my favorite character. I think probably Nora. No. Really? Is it Blake? No. Who is it?
Starting point is 01:16:53 Penny. I was gonna say Penny. I sensed you like a redhead. It's a redhead. It's her positive energy. She's just cute. That's why I was thinking Nora. I asked Nora is very similar.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Any plushie in my streamer room. Oh, no. Yeah, I got it last RTX. Oh, come on. Yeah, I want to do like a white gender bend cosplay. I'm kind of finding also it was so cool. So when you do it, let me know second to Blake.
Starting point is 01:17:18 OK, it gives me an example to just be like mean. And you know, we should do. Rich. We should to help promote Ruby, of course, and not for my own benefit at all. We should do something with a h and s t f where we just like do a cosplay day, Ruby cosplay day, and everyone comes in as like a Ruby character. Yes. Oh my god. It can be like those TikToks where it's just like we told everyone to arrive at, you know, whatever 10 am, because that's when the day starts. As people arrive, it arrive. It's like you know like the Beyonce thing like this is this version of Beyonce or this is this like this is this character from Ruby
Starting point is 01:17:50 This is this character from we I call Blake You got like already have a lot of people here. You can't call Ruby has a lot of characters I call current I'll be feeling a circle like you're oh yeah, I call current version of like I don't have like solo costume. Well she has three. There's a lot of cut but a lot of outfits that the girls have. Gus played a character in the show named Fiona. It's not. It's not. Uncle. Uncle. Yeah. It's her uncle that Gus plays but it's not Fiona Nova. It's a character named
Starting point is 01:18:22 Fiona. I think Michelle Saontag though. Very confusing. Yeah. Volume 10, me and you, a character, you can be twins. Oh, you speak at the same time. Oh, that can be very tricky. Yeah. Are you seeing me and BK for some reason
Starting point is 01:18:34 to get the same time? They happen today, and you're like, what the hell was wrong with you? Yeah, I was like, that's weird. Anyways. No, it's been fun like being around the RT office recently. I don't know, I feel like the energy here has just been good. Walking in, it's just shifting immediately
Starting point is 01:18:51 and like just having conversations with people in the kitchen. I'll find myself getting lost in the kitchen for 10 minutes when I'm like, I need to go back to my house. What am I doing? I have stuff I need to do. It was like before we started the podcast, they're like, where is Blitz? Yeah, taking a fat dump.
Starting point is 01:19:02 That hot dog shit. Oh, I's pooping. So graphic. It's just the long weener. Disgusting. Neal, sir. Everyday, too, Bailey. Yeah, it's just been, I don't know, people are cool here.
Starting point is 01:19:18 I'm a huge fan of like all of you or something. It's a good group. Or something. I don't know. I had a speaking of fans. I had a fan moment the other day. I was, You were a fan or so was a fan?
Starting point is 01:19:30 Oh! I was out of town and I was like going up an escalator and then coming down in the other direction was this young woman. I was looking at her. I was like, she looks really familiar. Do I know her? Do I know her from something? Do I know her?
Starting point is 01:19:46 And I'm sure you've probably gotten this look in the past where someone recognized you from Rupert's stuff. They did that. They're like, just kind of staring in. I was like, oh shit, I'm doing that thing. And I stopped. I was like, oh, she was a participant.
Starting point is 01:19:55 And then I looked behind her. And I was like, another guy. I was like, that guy looks really familiar too. Oh, there were contestants on Master Chef. Oh, wow. Oh, shit. Did he talk to me? No, no, no, no. We just passed each other on the escalator. I was like, oh, those were two contestants for Master Chef. Oh, wow. Oh, shit. Did you talk to that? No, no, no. We just passed each other on the escalator.
Starting point is 01:20:06 I was like, oh, those were two contestants for Master Chef. Like, I know who those people are. It was weird seeing them in person. It was like just having that moment finally click. I got to be in the same, because they did a love island season three reunion in New York. So I went there early. And I saw them all pass first for all of them tiny.
Starting point is 01:20:25 So I gave all of them short and I was like damn. That was because like, oh my god, these are the people that are like, ah, love Island. It is crazy how tiny celebrities are in real life. They're teeny tiny. Teeny tiny. It's so interesting because you know, everyone's body image is subjective, right? And people look at me and be like, oh my god, Kai, you're so tiny, you're slim thick, and I look at these girls.
Starting point is 01:20:49 And the person who was considered slim thick on the show was smaller than me. So it's just like, okay, again, subjective. So it's just so fascinating to see, this is what you see on TV and this is what it looks like in real life. It's super cool. Everyone thinks I'm five, six for some reason.
Starting point is 01:21:06 No, do you? No, do you? We, the other day, I was gonna mention this to you. I figure out where we were all standing, talking around something. And Trevor goes to me, he goes, I always forget how tall it is. Was it at the birthday party? It might have been. Yeah, I'm very tall and I always forget how tall I am.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Six to two. Yeah. Meanwhile, I'm very short. People think I'm short and I am. But I stay next to them. I'm not that short. You're like the five four? Yeah, I'm five four.
Starting point is 01:21:34 But people look at because the thing is again slim thick. I'm like, oh my god, you're like five foot tall when I show my full buy. I'm like, no, no, it's just it's just a lot of me in a small There's the first of my met our friend Laurel at the airport. She said oh, you're a lot shorter than I thought you were I was like oh my god now I'm an insecure short king Me That's a cure short king That's a crazy that's such a lural thing to say.
Starting point is 01:22:07 That's what it is. What is it? And Gus is just tall. Everyone knows he's tall. He knows tall. Like it's like slouching. It's so funny being around everyone at Rishi-Fu because everyone at Rishi-Fu is just tall.
Starting point is 01:22:17 I'll now be around actual tall, be like, you're not that tall. You're not that tall. You're not that tall. We're like, television tall. Yeah, no, you really are. You've got really are. I really have so tall. Do you know what Mondo does? What? We're like television tall Really Do you know what Mondo does? What?
Starting point is 01:22:29 Mondo when people ask him his height. Oh, yeah, I'll say shorter than he is. He'll say like, oh, I'm six foot. And the other person will be like, oh, I'm also six foot, but I'm shorter than you. What? Yeah, it's a really master. Just to mess them up. And I'm like, that's funny.
Starting point is 01:22:42 That's really good. He looks like five. Yeah, he's. He five. He's really tall. He's probably the man who's okay. He knows his family tall for no goddamn reason. He's been here before Goofy wise. Oh, yeah. He's six 11.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Six 11. What? Yeah, he's so huge. I didn't realize he was that tall. Yeah. Six 11. Yeah, damn. Yeah, I've seen him in person because we
Starting point is 01:23:02 hang around the same crew. And then I'm not a point where I've known he was six 11s since I've seen him in person because we hang around the same crew and then I'm not a point where I've known you with six 11 since I've met him So I'll meet him and be like, you're not that tall Because I'm around people there are six four all the time like yeah It's weird for me to be around someone that much taller than me. It doesn't happen very often Used to this Trevor and I went to a Super Bowl party yesterday with like, we the Rihanna show.
Starting point is 01:23:28 So, with some of our friends, like some of our only friends who don't work at Ruchuji. So it's like weird to be around people, but they invited a bunch of their friends. And it was like the tallest group of people I had ever been around. Like I was the short girl in the group. And I was like, whoa, this is a first for me.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And even Trevor commented, he's just like, I'm so tall here. Like, he's like, I feel like I have to stand up straight. Were you still being like, hello everyone. Watching you in a Trevor just interact. It's just, I know right, and I'm so happy that you say that. I prefer you to. You think you're out of it too?
Starting point is 01:24:00 I hate you as well. I hate you as well. I hate you too. Strong hate. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I hate you too strong. Hey, oh Strong okay, let's go back to the No, but like I'll look at you and Trevor. I'm like oh, yeah, they're so cute like I was just in your house working and Just like how consider it he is I'm just like So just that's so disgusting. He did this
Starting point is 01:24:26 He did this we went on a little date night on Friday and I was downstairs like on my phone doing stuff and he's like, do you wanna go get your cozy's on? Like get comfortable essentially. We always like say get cozy's on when we get home and I was like, I'll be up in a few minutes. I'm gonna cry. And he kept being like, sweetens. Are you gonna come upstairs and I was like, yeah, I'll be there in a second
Starting point is 01:24:40 and like I finally end up going upstairs. He had laid out three options for cozy clothes for me with different sock options too, because he knows I like to wear warm socks too. And he wrote, this is the casual bay option. This is the ultra cozy option. And I'm like, what did I do to deserve? I was hitting my head and I was going to the roof.
Starting point is 01:25:02 I'm going to win my turn. What is your turn? God, I've seen what you've done for others. I see what you've done for others. You're not in my turn. It'll be your turn eventually. I didn't find Trevor until I was 28, 29, 28? No, 28.
Starting point is 01:25:15 I say I, we not in college. So you have years of misery ahead of you. The years of misery. Fun fact, I've only ever celebrated Valentine's Day once in my entire life. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Well, no, but like, I've only ever celebrated Valentine's Day once in my entire life. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. Well, no, but like, I've only ever had the ability because I don't have, I don't, I don't believe in just dating to date.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Unfortunately, it's dating is a lot of anxiety. So there's romance, which is hilarious. So I'm a hopeless romantic. Uh, but nope, never had, never had options. Valentine's Day for me. So our issue is, um, it'll come to you when you lose expect. when you expect. I hate that. It's come when I don't want it. True. December is when our relationship anniversary is and then Christmas and then it's his birthday and then it's Valentine's Day then it's my birthday. That's a lot. What if we took out Valentine's
Starting point is 01:26:00 Day? So we purposely take out Valentine's Day, but now our cats were adopted last year about that. So like, celebrate that. At least it's not you guys. Yeah, it's not us.
