Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only only on peacock. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Hey everyone welcome to the RCT Podcast, I'm Gus. I'm not live. I'm Brian. I'm alive.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And I'm Gus. I'm here. I'm here semi-live full-conco with the podcast for you. No! I was going to be like, I'm... That was going to be his name. I had it. I had it in the chamber.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Perfectly cromulent word. Cromulent. Gavin, I'm glad in the chamber. Perfectly cromulent word. Cromulent. I, Gavin, I'm glad you're here. I've been wanting to talk to you about something. You missed the past couple of podcasts. This is true. You met up with Tom Scott and you didn't tell me. He was supposed to tell me.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Big Tom Scott. I'm very, I'm very jealous of you eating hot sauce and chips with him. Yeah. Well, I actually gave him a tour of stage four in like 2019. Oh Oh, I might have seen him. Yeah, yeah, I was interested to people who were around but I mean it's better that the ghost town that day anyway. Yeah. Is he the hot wings guy? Oh, you said hot. They did eat hot sauce.. It just made a hot one's knock off video. Okay. He's like, I wouldn't know how to describe his channel other than he just makes videos about very interesting things
Starting point is 00:02:12 that no one's made videos about before. Yeah, that's a good, that's a good name. In this past Monday's podcast, I talked about one of his videos that he had put out recently where he talked about this office at the post office where all they do there is look at the pieces of mail that the OCR software cannot decipher. So it's like mail that has poorly written addresses
Starting point is 00:02:33 and then people sit there and look at a scan of a piece of mail and then tell the system where it's supposed to go. Oh, like translate it. Right, like it's like, oh, like someone scribbled this and they can't read it. And it's constantly like improving the recognition so the more time that passes, the more stuff they're dealing with that just sucks even more because it's like as as the recognition is improved It just means the stuff that are left with twilight eds fire is like the very difficult messed up addresses are like smudged or like walls build up
Starting point is 00:02:58 So they're just actively making their own jobs hard Yeah, until it's gone Yeah, the process and the system had improved so much at one point, the post office, or the post service operated 13 of these centers around the United States. And now there's only one. Oh wow. The software has gotten so good at- They're making themselves obsolete, basically.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah, but like, they're making it like the most difficult ones are all that's left for them to start to process. It's tough to wear a fire's on the theater. Great job. And there's like this racks of servers that just have like all of the US mailing addresses in the entire country, saved on them. So it's like they don't even need,
Starting point is 00:03:32 when they see this piece of mail, they don't even need to type the whole address. They just type like a couple of the numbers, a little bit of the street name and the zip code, and then it knows, oh, there's only one possible address that starts with this number and has these letters in the street name. So at this point, they're just down
Starting point is 00:03:50 to letters, children, addressed in crayons. Yeah, well, just to Santa. Or a dog is snacked on a little bit. Yeah. He also had this other video about this water channel that has an electric current running through it and the reason that it's... To kill all the fish from going upstream. Yeah, to keep the fish from being an invasive species
Starting point is 00:04:12 in a lake. I remember that. This channel of water is electrified so that no fish can go through into a lake. And I actually went to that lake to film the fish jump out of the water in Slammer. It's a part of the... Did you actually?
Starting point is 00:04:24 I went in Slammer. Oh shit. And Dan, like, one fish leaped out of the water in Slamo. It's a part of a- Did you actually find it Slamo? Yeah. Oh shit. And Dan, like, one fish leaped out of the water and just hit Dan at the head. It's in Chicago, right? Chicago area? Somewhere in that area. Yeah. It's like leading up to one of the great lakes,
Starting point is 00:04:33 if I remember right? Yeah. I think Dan is always subject to something like really unfortunate happening. Yeah. Like, he's always like, I don't know, gets hit by something that he shouldn't or like slips on something that he shouldn't. Yeah, it's like handcrafted unfortunateness.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, it's great. Felt and slumber. Yeah, that's a good talent to have when you're filming in slumber. You need someone like that. Well, it all started with like the soccer ball, right, that you threw into his face. Like in one of your first videos, Yeah. Like weighted soccer ball, right?
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah, because he lost some dumb challenge we were doing. Dumb. And that made him lose every video for the rest of time. Yeah, It's like weighted soccer ball, right? Yeah, because he lost some dumb challenge we would do. DOOM. And that made him lose every video for the rest of the time. Yeah. He set him up for success. Like you have I mentioned, we are pre-recorded. We're not live today.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It's Labor Day. Well, the day that this is coming out. So if anything majorly news happening happened in the first couple days of September, the reason we're not talking about it is it hasn't happened yet for us. Yes. Today is the last day of August. Yes. What were your predictions for the major news? The Artemis is going to successfully launch on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Oh. Is that the one carrying people to the moon or going to the moon? No, it will. This one's unmanned. It's like their test. This feels like we perfected this technology. Like, why are we backtrack? Like what did we lose?
Starting point is 00:05:46 The thing is we did perfect it and then we stopped doing it. All those people got old and either died or retired and no one remembers how to build those rockets anymore. And it was all analog, like it was all on eight track that we went to the fucking moon. No record of it. No one wrote it down.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah, I mean they did, but then it's like, the stuff that gets lost to time. It's like, yeah, we've got it. Where is it? I don't know. It's like how there's no movies from the silent era or only like 5% or still around. You know Trevor was there.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I know. So Trevor got it. He got to go down to Orlando, to the Kennedy Space Center, to be at NASA and like meet people and see different things and stuff. It was like a really cool experience and like part of it was also getting like special access for the Artemis launch and we were looking at the weather before he were supposed to go and it had thunderstorms every single day in Orlando and he was like oh I don't like maybe I shouldn't
Starting point is 00:06:42 go and we were talking about a little bit. And he's like, no, I'd rather go and it not happen than not go. And it does happen. And then like, bubble, blah. And of course, it didn't end up happening because of like an engine issue. I think like there's a leak or something. But because he was like with this group that had to like, meet at a certain place and get shuttle to a certain location, he had to wake up at midnight. Wake up at midnight. So he could drive to a location, get there by 1 a.m. And so a bus could then take them to another spot by like 2 a.m. or something like that. And then they just like sat around for seven hours.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh my god. Oh yeah. Security or something? I think it's just because they had so many people on this thing. So I had to like get everyone and make sure like they had everything organized. I didn't like. I like to picture he gets there like bus there
Starting point is 00:07:27 at two in the morning. Then you bust out like a little sleep mask. And it's like this is what I'm going to sleep like the next seven hours Trevor just like powers down there. Yeah, I mean, he said he was basically like we were as close as you could be to it. Like we were the closest people to the actual rocket. Who are weren't NASA employees.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Yeah. And I was like that's fucking cool. It's a shame they weren't able employees. And I was like, that's fucking cool. It's a shame they weren't able to launch. I know. I know. I'd be so cool for him. Yeah. Yeah. I also imagine for Trevor, it's like looking into an alternate
Starting point is 00:07:55 university could have been a part of the city like study aerospace engineering and like wanted to go into that field. Yeah. He just sees like a clone of himself in a lab coat looking like that's me. Just me. Like it me. He's been a Trevor trulling What he could have done that he's at rooster teeth
Starting point is 00:08:13 That's damn see I say journalism. This is like a comma Like I know comics who are like yeah, I was an engineer, but I quit to do stand-ups. Like, that's a bad decision. It's like how Ken's young to this date insist on being called Dr. Ken, so he can be reminded that he was a doctor that we get it. That's like your whole thing. Yeah, like the dude who were working in call centers,
Starting point is 00:08:39 I get it, like, yeah, but like, if you had a real job, why, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I can't be that upset about it because that's how I met him is him working at research That's true. Yeah, no, you didn't go into this field. It worked out great. Yeah, it's not like he's in broadcast or anything like just slaving away I'm one of those The whole room I think it's the whole room here. The whole room here. Ruck has rocks, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:07 But yeah, I think this one's going to, this Artemis Lodge is supposed to be unmanned. They're going to fly it around the moon and back. And I think it lands like in, it comes back after like 45 days, 45 or 60 days. But is that something that you land on the moon? No. And then the moon.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I think it's going to take like some photos and stuff too. Right. Like they have have they have like Manicons in it to like sensors on them to determine like the forces on people to make sure it's safe Snoopy as well. They're snoopy in there. It's like the official like crew member of the Artemis one Yeah, that's a big get how they get a snoopy on board I don't know. He only flies biplanes. They're gonna put him in a fucking rocket. Hey, he's up great with Gus.
Starting point is 00:09:50 He flies a saunp with tamil against the red baron. I mean, it's kind of a step up. I think it was gonna be, let's like a doll or something. Is this like stuffed animal? Is this a government thing or is this like some SpaceX? No, it's NASA. NASA. NASA. I think the capsule might be SpaceX designed and provided,
Starting point is 00:10:09 but the rocket itself is NASA. NASA and SpaceX have both individually contacted me to film a launch in Slomer, and every time, I guess the point where they're like, you have an American passport, right? I'm like, no, and they're like, but that shouldn't matter, because you have a, isn't a green card good enough?
Starting point is 00:10:27 It is not. It's for security clear. And you're not from like an enemy country, or so you're like from the big brother. I think it's fine. Wow, the little brother name. Like enemies of enemy country. You know, like if you were like from fucking North Korea,
Starting point is 00:10:40 or something, I'd be like, yeah, maybe we're not gonna give that to him. Maybe I would. Like England knows our shit. Like they've been through our diary. Well, I'm scared, like, would I be able to go? Cause I don't have an American pet. I'm still Canadian. I do know some people who are not Americans
Starting point is 00:10:55 who have gone to. So I'm still Canadian. But it was, they basically, I think there's ways to do it, but neither of the people that contact me could be bothered to go through that process. No, it didn't. But like, we don't want it that much. Yeah, like oh, that's a pain in the ass. We're not gonna do that. Yeah. But I think the next launch after this one, if everything goes well, will have people, but they won't land. They're just gonna circle the moon and then I think the launch after that. We really are retriced. Yeah, we'll have a note. Start over from scratch.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Well, it's gonna Apollo 13 it and come home, except without all these solutions. Hopefully without that. Yeah. It's like the purpose of it basically to see if life would be sustainable potentially on the moon, like to. Yeah, they want to start like a station that like orbits the moon and people living on the moon
Starting point is 00:11:37 for stretches at a time. How low, how close to the moon can you stay in all of it? Two. Pfft. I don't know, dude. Because I'm thinking that what do they just save in all of it? Two. I don't know, dude. Because I'm thinking that what do they just save a bit of two all and just go as low as possible for all of it
Starting point is 00:11:50 in all of it and then just have a ladder. Oh, and just like, kind of like somebody jumps off and runs across for a few miles. They just climb down to the moon. But it wouldn't be like going around it. Yeah, you gotta like get on when it's coming by. So is it like when you're like trying to jump on to like a train that's leaving slowly? Yeah. Just grab the ladder. So low lunar orbit is orbit below 100 kilometers or 62 miles in altitude. So that's a pretty 60 to two mile ladder. If I have that might
Starting point is 00:12:20 be a problem. Yeah. For every time Gavin proposed something involving a planet and a ladder, or sometimes a long rope or something, some type of impossible physics. Yeah, I think one of my solutions for flights was just go to space, wait and come down and then you don't need to fly. I've heard proposals like that now. There's like space elevator, sci-fi stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Those are the whole thing of like, if you had like a rope long enough to the moon, or something like that. Or lasso the moon long enough to the moon, or something like that? Or a lasso the moon? A lasso the moon. I forget what any like pull closer. I always felt like, you know, in like elevator cables snap and you fall, you know, and plunges and everyone dies.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I, for years, thought you could just jump at the point of impact. At the last second. I mean, it would take, it would take off like one mile an hour, maybe with it, like, into 120. Yeah, something. It was mean, it would take, it would take off like one mile an hour, maybe would it, like, it would hurt. Yeah, something, it wouldn't hurt. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:11 The rest of it would hurt. That would, when I worked at the call center, the call centers owner's brother ran an elevator repair place here in Austin. And sometimes when he was having tech problems, the owner of the call center would send me to help his brother, like hook up a computer to a elevator or like diagnose, troubleshoot some problem. And I remember I was working with him at an elevator
Starting point is 00:13:33 here in town somewhere. And we're sitting there and I'm waiting for the computer to boot up and run all these diagnostics. And I say, so you fix elevators, are you ever afraid of like an elevator falling? He goes, oh no, you don't have to worry about that. So the brakes always work and they'll always catch you. They'll stop you from falling.
Starting point is 00:13:48 So the thing you need to worry about is the elevator shooting out of the shaft up at the top of the building. And I was like, what do you mean? Because the brakes stop you from going down, but if the counter-wates go free and start pulling, they'll just shoot the elevator up through the door. Like the end of Willy Wonka.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah, it's awesome. That's tight, then you get your wishes. Whatever. You get a chocolate effect. Really, that won't be, what would happen then? Like, it would shoot up the top of the building, but wouldn't it just like, and then you're flying over to the gym?
Starting point is 00:14:14 Would it not just like crash? It could. You're like a champagne, you like champagne cork it. Yeah, build it. It's like the opposite of falling and hitting the ground. You like go up and hit the ceiling. Would it pop up or would it just like, I mean. Depends how much force or like how strong the roof is.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Or like how strong the roof is. And open elevator. You knew fear unlocked. Like people always fall in the room. Not always, but you know, like every few years. Yeah. I've never seen a video. I want to see a video of this.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I saw an awful video one time of like a housekeeper at a hotel in New York. Do that where like she was pulling her cart to the elevator, she hurt the doors open behind her and she was stepping backwards into it and the door's open but the elevator wasn't there. And she just like falls into the shaft. You never, I'm surprised you've never seen this.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Oh yeah, there's one in like China or somewhere where somebody's on a scooter and they're trying to bang their way like the elevator's closed but they're trying to force it way, like the elevator's closed, but they're trying to force it, and then they finally get the doors, but there's nothing, and they just go there. And then that's it, yeah. Damn.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I saw a video of a girl, I think it was like her apartment complex. She dropped her keys down that little crack between the elevator door, and she called like maintenance, and they said it was gonna be $500 for them to get it for her. And so she was like, fuck that. And her and her friend just like,
Starting point is 00:15:30 finagled this whole like wire hanger thing and ended up finding like other people's keys in the process like other people had dropped them down. But like, that's such bullshit. To charge someone $500 to help them get their keys. It's like you just don't want Right, you don't want to go to trouble. I think I've mentioned this years ago in the podcast, but something similar happened to me once I was Drunken at the list call And I was at my hotel and I was in the lobby
Starting point is 00:15:58 I was going up to my room and the elevator doors opened I pulled my wallet out to get my hotel room key I pulled out my key, but I dropped my wallet. It was a tri-fold wallet. It hit the ground, folded up into the tri-fold, and then spun in the air, and then went straight down. Oh, perfect. I got hurt for like a lined art too.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And went straight down like, well, that sucks. And I went to the front desk, a similar thing there, like, oh yeah, well, we need to call, you know, like, can you just send someone down the gate? They're like, oh, no, we need to call the elevator company. I was like, no, we just went straight down. Can you just send someone to get it? Like, no, we need to call, you know, the, like, can you just send someone down the get there? Like, oh, no, we need to call the elevator company. I was like, no, we just went like straight down. Can you just send someone to get it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Like, no, we need to call the elevator company and we're like, we're gonna charge it. Service call fee. I was like, well, one, that's kind of bullshit. I was like, can't you just let me down there? I'll just go down there and get it. Yeah, or me down. Yeah, or show me the door.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Yeah, just to the bottom. Like, right. Yeah, like, surely there's a passageway or something. Yeah, eventually they got it back and they gave it to me. They didn't charge me. They just say the charge. The, eventually they got it back and they gave it to me. They didn't try to make it in the church. The people in the lift, like as the door was closed, and it's like, the other one just looked down, and looked so great, looking great.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I think I've told the story before too, and I think Gavin, you were there for this. It was like the first month or something I was in Austin. Maybe like, I guess the first couple months, because you were here too at that point. And we were eating at a restaurant, like some Mexican restaurant. And we all gave like our credit cards and I had just gotten a new credit card because when I moved here I had like no American bank account, nothing like that.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And I was so happy I finally had my first credit card. And the waitress was bringing all the cards and checks back on like a little tray. And she was leaning over and giving them. And one of the cards fell off the tray and went straight through the floorboards. It was like an outdoor patio. But the floorboards went to like, unabyss. There's no way to get under there.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And she was like, oh no, someone's card. And I was like, I bet you, it's fucking mine. I bet you. And she's like giving in fact, like Michael and Zibaba. Okay, so who's missing? And I was like, that was me, me. I got my meal for free. What's the name?
Starting point is 00:17:51 So you had to wait, but you had to wait to see who's it. It's like the fucking lottery. And that's why they're sending the Artemis to the far side of the moon to find Barbara's credit card and bring it back. Snoopy's gonna do an extra, he's gonna leave the capsule to go out into space and get you your credit card back. Snoopy's gonna do an extra, he's gonna leave the capsule to go out into space and get you your credit card back.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yep. Not more fun than that. I wonder if I ever canceled that card. I don't know if I did. Yeah. Have you ever, have you ever, like a, like a true user something like that?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Do you think it's still under? Probably. I think we should get it. It's gotta be. We're mission impossible. So I'll go in the middle of the night, tear up one of the boards, and I'll have a pry bar and. Hey, tear up one of the boards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:25 A pry bar and. Hey, 11 years ago, I dropped a car. I'm sure it's still there, like plastic or what? Yeah, probably. Yeah. Because it's one of the, it was like an outdoor patio that is like completely like, I don't know how to describe it, but the wood basically goes all the way down to the ground.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It's like up on stilts or something. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like completely covered in. So I don't know, it's probably, or maybe like a squirrel took it first. Yeah. It's ordering so much shit on nuts.com. So I like a spike in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Q3. It's nuts.com or real site. Yeah. And is it PG? No, yeah. They sell nuts online. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I see that, so I see their TV commercials every now and then and it drives me crazy Because I like nuts.com since 1908 like how the fuck have you had a dot com business since 1908 this doesn't make any sense Shipping it $20 that's like Nintendo saying they've been around since the 1800 selling cars Right, you know what we mean Nintendo. Come on. Wait until start making video games. Right. That's dot com.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It's real. They didn't sponsor us. Don't go there. Pay me nuts.com. Make that the title. Pay me nuts.com. Pay me in nuts. Any company successfully guessed.com in their name.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Like a pretty pre.com. Like a company just called itself something.com in the name. Like a pre.com. Like a company just called itself something.com? Yeah. You know, like how sometimes a product gets invented and there's already like the URL taken by some obscure company, but even like predating URLs. Oh man, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Like I just can't picture the use case where someone would make something and then call it.com at the end. What does comm stand for? Initially, I think it meant like commercial. Oh, really? Okay. Because then WWE's worldwide web.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Obviously. Or commies. That's right. I always see these videos of people quizzing Gen Zers on things that for us is basic knowledge. Like, what does WWE stand for? And people just have no idea. It's crazy how much stuff you just don't even register because it's so common.
Starting point is 00:20:33 That's why we're having to go back to the moon. Yeah, we're like, all the Nazis who helped us the first time are dead. So no more World War II Nazis to build a rocket. Uh-oh, gotta start over from scratch. Was that did they Were those all Nazis? Absolutely Warner Vaughn and all of those guys. Oh, yeah. I want to talk to her sky. He seemed really nice and He didn't seem like you would think he made the V1 rocket and then he became American and they'll build a Saturn 5
Starting point is 00:21:03 and then he became American and he'll build a Saturn 5. Ooh. Man, they really glossed over that part. You kind of, it was more about Jake Gyllenhaal not wanting to work in the coal mine. It's like I call you wanted to make rockets. Oh, yeah, that was a, it's a very problematic history with the space program. Man, well, I guess, yeah, we were in the space race
Starting point is 00:21:24 and had the man, but talk about, yeah, geez. Well, that's like corners. That was like the whole race to Berlin at the end of World War II between the Soviet Union and like the United States was like, who's gonna get all the scientists and who's gonna get all the technology? That's why like everyone was racing through Germany
Starting point is 00:21:41 to try to carve up as much of it as they could, leading to the Cold War that way they would be like, all right, now we're enemies, and now I got this, you got that go. My grandfather was in that. He was in front, he was like army infantry, and he was involved in that shit, but he didn't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:21:56 So it's like you knew it was bad, like he didn't really, he was like, yeah. It wasn't great. Can I gloss over it? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that stuff's crazy. I was watching, I'm so starved for watching new content the other day. I was flipping through Netflix. I was scrolling forever and I was like,
Starting point is 00:22:14 some documentary about Pearl Harbor. I was like, all right, fine. I put it on. I like World War II stuff. You hit in the mood for that? Yeah, why not? All right. And so I was watching it. And I feel like you've heard the story a million times,
Starting point is 00:22:29 but you know, they're interviewing people. Pearl Harbor, yeah. Yeah, like, oh, they're interviewing people who were there, like, oh, they're like some cool stuff that you've never heard before. And then, like, the documentary took, it only touched on this very briefly and then moved on, but there was something I'd never thought about. They were like, yeah, you know, after, as the Japanese were attacking, the United States started firing back, like anti-aircraft and shells and guns and everything. And a lot of those shells ended up landing in civilian areas on the island,
Starting point is 00:22:54 killing civilians who were just like out and about. Oh. Like 42 civilians died because of, quote unquote, friendly fire. Like bullets just landing back on popular, quote unquote, friendly fire. Like bullets just landing back on popular, like on Honolulu, because of that. It's like, it's like at UT, the tower shooter, they, when he started shooting every,
Starting point is 00:23:16 all the people on the ground got their own guns and started shooting back up. So it was hard to go like, take him, they were trying to kind of fly over and say, but there was so much gunfire from the ground I guess that's not a perfect comparison No, it's like bullets go in over the top and like yeah, yeah, we were just shooting each other Yeah, have you ever seen that bullet I think it's from I
Starting point is 00:23:37 Think it's from the battle of Tripoli maybe where it's like the two bullets and one has hit the other No, it's like like this stuff through yeah has hit the other. No. It's like this stuff through each other. Yeah, that's actually happened. Yeah, like one bullet was flying through the air and another bullet came and intercepted it. And like someone found it after the battle was over. It's like, what are the fucking odds that like one bullet hit another bullet and what? I mean, I guess if a bunch were flying around.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah, probably pretty long odds are you'd see it all the time. Yeah. That's why it's a big I feel like Pearl Harbor was a bad move by Japan now that I think about it. Why do you say that? It's kind of like okay Here oh damn All right, but hear me out like they got a good lick in but it's kind of like an Elden ring when you see a boss that you know Is too big for you to handle like this big like I've run too far ahead, and there's this strike, I'm gonna go try, and you get like one good lick,
Starting point is 00:24:30 and then he wakes up, and you're just, and he just rinses you. I feel like that's what that, it just seems like a dumb move. I think the thought was that they could set the United States far enough behind that they would then be able to do a bunch of shit in the Pacific Ocean and that the United States would be like, oh well, nothing we do about this. And they've gotten too big at the point.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, kind of give us. And the United States would kind of give up. But the United States turned into like one giant factory in World War II, the amount of stuff that this country made for a war is like mind-blowing. Like you think about like the- When you do what you play. When you do what you love,
Starting point is 00:25:07 you never work a day in your life. Yeah, the military industrial complex will go. Ah, wait, we get to go to war and be racist like, woo! Let's go just instantly. Like within like, by nightfall, we were just crazy. I feel like there's a lot of people who are like, if that were the opportunity, they were given,
Starting point is 00:25:26 they would take it in this country. The opportunity to go to war and be racist. Oh, it's the wheelhouse. That's just a pitch right over the middle of the plate. Yeah, that's just throughout all of World War II, Germany built about 119,000 planes. OK. In 1944 alone, the United States built 96,000 planes.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Jesus. Like in one year, they built almost as much as Germany did in the entire war. America. It's so many fucking, I think they built more than every other country added up together. It looks like. Did you ever, and did you ever look up like, or if you ever, you, this sounds like something you might have also looked up, but like what it would take to invade mainland United States. That would be nuts. Like, no other country has that capability to like fly enough troops over without us spotting it and then just blowing it, like, it's just in pots.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Even in risk. Like, you're playing a risk and you're like, man, you're beating, you gotta say, it sucks, so there's so far away. Well, what does it take to actually start an invasion? Like, could I just walk through immigration and be like, why you come to the US and I'm like, I'm invading.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Invasion? What do we rest you though? Like, that's a failed invasion. They're like, reason for entry, invasion. Reason for entry? Cool. Just being like, brutally honest. Violent revolution.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Violent. We're not gonna allow you in today. Yeah. You get put in that little like cell area, like they said you have to like, we need to see you, we need to talk to you in a private room. We need secondary screening on the show.

Starting point is 00:31:03 Oh, man. Do you think you're ever gonna get your citizenship? I'm trippy Blaski at all the time, but. Not, I see the point. I don't know. Well, the only advantage I could think of is being able to go film a rocket. Or being able to vote.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Yeah. It's a big one, but also like. And I'm also like, I get jury due, you know, that shit. Oh right. It's not that big. I've, I've, I'm 44. I've been called for jury duty once. Me too. Yeah. Yeah, 40, 40, 40. Oh right. It's not that big. I've I'm 44. I've been called for
Starting point is 00:31:25 Drew. Doody once. Me too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. 44. I'm 46. Well, I'm just saying it gets even better. Yeah. Look into the future. It was yeah, and it was and I was just like said obvious stuff to get myself disqualified. They were like, can you be impartial in this? And I was like, no. Cause I was like, I had to in this? And I was like, no, because I was like, I had to work like we were I was like busy with something at work. I was like, yeah, I can't. And they're like, okay, well, then you can go. It is such an interesting process to me.
Starting point is 00:31:54 The idea of like picking a bunch of random people to make a decision about the future of someone's life. Yeah, a big day. Yeah, but it gets so rigged. But it's just strange that it's like these people aren't experts. Like yeah, they could hear evidence and hear like both sides and all that stuff and everything that, you know, the lawyers have to present. But like, yeah. They're making the decision. Also, who are these people that get agreed upon? Right? It's like, well, we don't want anyone too smart. We don't want anyone too dumb. It's like. Or two bias on either side. Yeah, there's a really, really old joke of, you never want to put your future in the hands of 12 people who are too stupid to get out of jury.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Oh wow. Let's go away, think about it. The old, old joke. Yeah, I feel like the green card is easier to get rid of than citizenship. Like if I'd want to move somewhere else eventually. Yeah, I could just let it expire Yeah, but what like renouncing citizenship seems like a thing Would you even have to renounce? Well, I mean I have to pay Yeah, you us taxes see for what I didn't can't I just had to become a non-resident
Starting point is 00:33:02 So that you just have to prove that you have no property, no bank accounts and stuff like that. Yeah, I think you can do something similar in the United States, like if you're living and making your money overseas, you still have to file, but you just have to prove that you lived and earned your money overseas. But there's a threshold. Like once you earn over a certain threshold, then they're going to start dipping into that.
Starting point is 00:33:23 If you want to, I would just recommend just stay in the country you were born in unless you really love paper. Gavin hates immigration, you heard it here, breaking on the receipt. Gavin says stay in your own country. Didn't you tweet a big stack of, like this was a, like you know, go all the stuff you had to fill.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah, yeah. Was this for like when you first moved here? Yeah, to renew my visa. Visa. and then the green card was it like even bigger Just a lot of inconvenience. Yeah Smart yeah, don't go for full citizenship yet. Maybe wait till give it another few years Pan out here I'm on the way you passports for new parts of the country I'm really getting by the way. We may be having new passports for new parts of the country.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yeah, I don't know. Just head your bets. Yeah. I know, man, kidding. You should follow your dreams. Yeah. Chance is off. You probably wasn't born in the right place anyway.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Go and find where they are. What are the odds you're born in the right place? Just play them. It's a big world. Yeah. If you could live anywhere without having to go to the paperwork and scissors ships up a little bit of law, do you think, where do you think you'd pick? Oh man.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Man, I don't know. Not Texas. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough because you want to be in a good place, but you also don't want to be so far away from everyone you know. I know, maybe.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I guess it depends on the person. Cause like New Zealand sounds pretty cool. New Zealand's pretty awesome. But so does like Switzerland or Sweden like of those places seem like really Comfortable places to live. I would try Canada. Yeah Well, if you need some help I'll see what my sister-in-law did I would probably go Ireland because
Starting point is 00:35:03 Still still English speaking so I could do stand up. Yeah. And I would be a tiny bit exotic because I'm a American. And I could get, so like just a little bit, but I could, but I look just like them. Yeah, you would fit in super well, like in the corner of an Irish pub with a Guinness. Yeah, right. Like I'd be the American, Brian the American. Brian the American. It would be great. It would be fucking me.
Starting point is 00:35:25 The character. Yeah. Yeah. And then, oh, I got a show here. I'm actually, I'm seeing later before karaoke. And they would be like, great. We'll stick around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I like the idea that you'd like, in this dream world, of picking any country to live and you'd still be doing stand up. Yeah. Is living as dream? Yeah. Yeah. I do, because I agree with you about New Zealand,
Starting point is 00:35:43 instead of like beautiful, and I would still want to do sets somewhere. Yeah. And I'm sure they got places there, too. But I agree with you about like New Zealand instead of like beautiful and I but I would still want to do sets Somewhere and I'm sure they got places there too, but I'm not crazy about the accents down there I don't I don't want Australian and New Zealand. I don't know. I don't like the Irish love them. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's cool New Zealand is just a bit far from everything. Yeah, that's what's great about It's great. If you're like not busy Or if you're anti-social introvert. I'm like, I'm introverted, but I still like having the option to be, you know, to do something. Yeah, me too. That's where that gets me.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I'm gonna say I like a couple of big cities in New Zealand. Yeah. Auckland and Wellington, Christchurch to a lesser degree, to a much lesser degree, fly over to Australia. How populated, like what's the biggest city in New Zealand? Auckland. and Christchurch to a lesser degree, to a much lesser degree fly over to a community. How populated, like what's the biggest city in New York? Auckland. Is that like a million people? What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:36:30 Auckland's around a million. It's funny. A friend of mine from Australia, she like posted something a while back being like, you know, a lot of my American friends are always talking about like, I'm scared to go to Australia because of like, all the spiders and animals that could kill you and stuff like that. Whereas my Australian I'm scared to go to Australia because of like all the spiders and animals
Starting point is 00:36:45 that could kill you and stuff like that. Whereas my Australian friends are afraid to come to America because of gun violence and like the mass shootings that are happening here and it's like, well that's yep, a lot of things that could kill you in all countries. Those spiders are scary though. Like whenever they put, that is scary.
Starting point is 00:37:03 That is still more scary to get. Do not let those spiders into our country because then they'll have guns. Yeah, thank you. And they can hold a ton of guns. Oh my God, when the Australian spiders come, I'm gonna be like, I'm so sorry what I said about Joel's access.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said that on the pot. You know how they edit things to make you look better. So apparently Auckland is about one and a half million people. Wow. Wellington's only about 212,000. Christ Church is bigger, 381,000. Oh wow. I thought Christ Church was smaller than Wellington.
Starting point is 00:37:33 What a name. Christ Church. That's some colonial-ass shit, isn't it? Yeah. There's a lot of Christ Churches around the world. Why the? Oh, Christ Church is not. Towns called Christ Church. That place is called Christ Church is around the world. Why the? Oh, Christ Church is not town's cult Christ, but it's like places, cool Christ Church.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I was watching these guys. It's like Springfield or something. Yeah, just like one in every state. I've been watching these YouTubers named Kara and Nate. They're like travel vloggers. And right now they're putting out a series of videos. They went on a cruise ship to the North Pole.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And it's like a seven day boat trip that takes you up there. And then you like stay on the pole for like a day or two and then they like come back. Well, they've done that there's no actual pole. What the captain like basically was trying to like angle the ship and like back up and like get perfectly on like the center of. So on the top of the world.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Yeah. I'm surprised there's not like a cue for that, like a line. and back up and get perfectly on the center of... Just on the top of the world. I'm surprised there's not a queue for that, like a line. Like on the side. Yeah, like a line. Well, let's pop on the pole and this is like seven ships behind. Right. Is that some ship that we're only able to do because the climate change now?
Starting point is 00:38:37 Like, I'm sure it doesn't hurt. Yeah, it's like a very, like the boat is like really intense and like crashes through all the ice. Oh, like an icebreaker ship. Yes. We should do some of that. We should do that for ship. It's the thing that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Yeah, you should. Oh, you should go on a cruise for that podcast. Oh, we have talked about that. And if we are more successful, yes, we will definitely. Yeah, well, I'll send you a link to the sea. Cool. Yeah. For, yeah, that one. I'm looking at it right now.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah. And it did like the polar plunge up there, which is like jumping into the water. And I'm like, I can't imagine, you're literally on the top of the world jumping into the ocean. That's like, you know, below freezing. Can you imagine if you're like,
Starting point is 00:39:14 your cruise ship is positioned directly on top of the North Pole and you run to the bathroom and take a dump and it's like, you took a dump directly onto the world. On top of the world, you just took a shit on Earth. And it just like filtered down. Yeah. I feel like they've been sickly to do that.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Four videos out of this going up to the North Pole. Yeah, well, I mean, they have a one more. Is it hard to get to that pole while the South Pole? We've got to. They also, the same couple went to Antarctica as well a while ago. But I don't know about what's harder. I think it's harder to get down to the South Pole because there's a lot more land.
Starting point is 00:39:48 You can't just get on a boat and get there. You gotta like, next they should go to, they should just split up, do one each. Yeah. And just have the sandwich. Or each of them take such a long journey. A slice of bread and make an earth sandwich at the poles. Chair Ren, I did that when he was in Australia
Starting point is 00:40:04 for that let's play live tour tour you guys did a while ago, where he was like, all right, put the bread down now. I'm doing it too and we took a picture and we were making it the sandwich. Was it from the same life? No, it doesn't count. To make proper sandwiches, bread from the same life. He uses two different levels of bread for a sandwich.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Well, maybe it's the last piece of bread. And one love, a new piece of bread and a new love. It needs to be the same level. You used two different levels of bread for a sandwich. Well, maybe it's the last piece of bread. And one loaf, a new piece of bread, and a new loaf. This would be the same brand then. I'm now I wanna make a sandwich to eat at home from two different loaves of bread. Because I've never done that. And now I feel like I need to do that. It would be better surely,
Starting point is 00:40:38 because you get different flavors. Different flavors and textures. I like this. What's an in Karl Pilkington one time said one of the dumbest and funniest things I ever heard was on that podcast with Rick and Jervais and Stephen Merchant. We said you're speaking of Australia that all the scary spiders live in Australia because you know how spiders like to hide under rocks like the earth is one giant rock in Australia is at the bottom so it's like the bottom side of the rock that's where all the
Starting point is 00:41:10 scary spiders and insects and everything live I was like that was really somehow at the same time super funny and super stupid to me simultaneously it's wrong but that is logic to it. Right? Okay, I see why you got there but I don't agree with you but it's really funny. I sent Gavin this video last week of the week before of speaking of planes a little while ago of I guess someone had captured like slow-mo like 1,000 frames per second footage of this F-22 fighter plane. So cool. Flying eye looks super cool. But then it got me wonder.
Starting point is 00:41:49 It's like, oh, we were like digging into it. It's like, oh, well, it costs $68,000 an hour to fly this plane. And they're filming at 1000 frames a second. So it's like, if you filmed it the entire time it was flying, each frame of footage cost about two cents. Oh yeah. Imagine it accounted for two cents going up at thousand times every second. Yeah. Ah, turn it on. On the plane. I'm like, you got to hope you get the shot on the first try. But it looked really cool watching it fly around and vector around it like a thousand frames a second. It must have been really difficult to get those shots on especially the tight ones.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Just because you're in a helicopter and the jets like, you look like a slight delay between your monitor and what you're actually seeing. That's what I struggle with the most in shooting phantom is I'm tracking something. The refresh rate of the monitor like receiving images from the camera is behind where I need to be. So I need to like lead stuff. It's a bit extra difficult on a plane that's not like- I never knew that that was the case with the camera is behind where I need to be. So I need to like lead stuff. It's a bit extra difficult on a plane that's not like- I never knew that, that was the case with that. It's probably minuscule,
Starting point is 00:42:48 it's probably only like a couple milliseconds, but it's, when you're dealing with high speed, it adds up. I discovered this, like, ages ago when I was trying to film like a bow and arrow, shoot across the frame from left to right, is that I could never see it, but if I just looked at the arrow with my eyes and just went like that, I would get the shot.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I was looking through the monitor, I would never get it. That's so funny. Yeah. That's wild. There isn't like... Like some kind of jib arm with like, that software assisted that helps track now at this point. Yeah, yeah, they can do that with those. If it's too fast for a camera to physically pan, like it's like a,
Starting point is 00:43:22 we did this with tank shells. They just, you just film into a mirror and the mirror goes, boom. Oh. An American track it based on like, it will see the object pass the point and then it will pass the second point, calculate speed and then the mirror will be just perfectly track it. That's really fucking cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Yeah, it's cool tech. Do you need like a special highly reflective mirror? Because I know like different mirrors have different amounts of light that they reflect like do you need like a special mirror that reflects More light than like a typical bathroom It's like a bathroom. We only reflects like 40% light. Yeah, and also a bathroom mirror that reflective Surface is behind glass. You need like a front Silvan mirror. I think the entire tracking system with the mirror which was about this big was like 170 grand there it is
Starting point is 00:44:02 which was about this big, it was like 170 grand. There it is. That's kind of a nice idea. Whoa. How much does a phantom's like core of a million or something like that? Something insane. Yeah, the fastest camera's like close to 300. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Holy fuck. The slow motion camera. Damn. Yeah, sucks. I mean, if it's that's specialized. So I rent, yeah. Yeah. It's not like, it's not like a piece of technology that they're selling to every consumer in the United States. Right. It's very specialized. Right. We're gonna make several of these and sell them. They actually don't make any.
Starting point is 00:44:35 They don't have one. Like they have a demo unit, but they never just have one ready to go. Like if you order a phantom, it's like, we'll build one. Yeah, we're ready in a few a few months yeah I would I would do the same thing in rent I'm part of this and then give back what's funny is I've been renting this like the TMX like the super fast one that's like really really expensive and I assume they had like a few rental units but it's really just one demo unit and every time I get it all of my presets are still on it like so you're the only one renting and probably the only one like making presets and stuff okay to light frame ray and I thought I was just gonna be like the exact same as when you like dropped it off and it's the same when you pick it up no that's not it's a very busy camera that's why I can oh well only been able to have it a few times
Starting point is 00:45:19 camera so busy it's a busy boy he up. Oh man, I saw this posting earlier today on Craigslist that I shared with Eric right before it went live. It was on the New York Craigslist and- This is the one you sent us? Yes, I'm going to read the title of it. It's a job posting. 42 jobs. 42 shady people needed.
Starting point is 00:45:43 The shady are the better. Then like $6 signs. And it's like you read through this list and it starts insane and then just gets crazier and crazier as you're going down this list of jobs. Should we do a thing where you read through them and we say if we would do it or not? Sure. Pick a number between one and 42. Seven. Seven. Job seven. We're looking for someone who can co-create

Starting point is 00:47:09 But the problem is you need an identity. I go to be like, hey, you look kind of fat. Let me tell you about cool sculpting and lapisuction. It's like, do you ever see like, on TV news when they're talking about like America's obesity epidemic? And they have all these with the heads cut off. On the faces, yeah. It's awful.
Starting point is 00:47:26 And both of those people know that they're, it's them. Yeah, we have a number. 37. 37, going down the list. Okay, this one's one of the crazy. Well, I like this one. Restaurant promotion, job 37. Okay, restaurant promotion.

It's called papering or crowd. It's just like, yeah, you just give tickets away. There was one that you were telling us about where you just get paid to get chiropractic adjustments.
Starting point is 00:48:14 But you have to be over 50. You have to be way to spoil it. Oh, sorry. Job 18. We need someone to make an appointment with at least 30 chiropractors in your area and get an adjustment for a chiropractic review site. We will pay for your co-pay and any fees to get there. You will be running the website. Long-term partnership positions with this are available for those that do not have a job and are qualified to run the site.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Must be over 50 years old and have some type of back pain for this position. $250,000 per year. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. To get you up to get your... You know, my son. But you have to get your back adjusted like 30 times. At least 30 times.
Starting point is 00:48:53 But over the course of how long? Because if that's like... It's for the site. Like, 24 hours. So if you're gonna get it in here, what's 250,000 divided by 3? 250, 1,2,3. All right, let's go out of my 30.
Starting point is 00:49:04 That's about 83, 33. So 8,000 bucks per 3. $251, $2,000 divided by 3. That's about $83, $33. So $8,000 per chiropractic adjustment? Yes. So it was literally eight grand a pop. Yeah. I don't trust chiropractor. It's like whenever they show those adjustments on you, you're just cracking your neck.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Sorry, we can't breeze over that amazing pun. I'm sorry, sorry. Sorry. So eight grand a pop. Ah. Hey. Hey. You read job 27 for me. I want to read 21, but I'll read 27 first. Oh, this is a good one. Job 27.
Starting point is 00:49:34 One time job. $50 per call. Average six minutes per call. We will call you and we'll pretend to be the manager and argue with us on what we're trying to complain about. Example, we got a 46 minute massage and it should have been 50 minutes we paid for. You will try to argue with us that you eventually give us our money back or a comp massage.
Starting point is 00:49:53 No scripts provided. You must be good at improv. This job is only needed for one day, $200 for four hours of calls. Could I, before I move on? What, what is this? I before I move on. What? What? What? What is this? The second reason
Starting point is 00:50:09 throughout the listing. It keeps going back about like, I feel like there's a couple of jobs where it's like like yeah, they're like revenge based or like like specifically like the massage thing was like four minute short. I feel like he goes back to that a couple of times and it's like something really happens. So they want you to play the manager of a place that they're gonna call and argue with. Is it like to practice like a Nathan, like a rehearsal? I don't know. Maybe it's like to do in front of someone. That's what I was thinking. Like they're doing it in front of someone performatively. Like let's say it's like, your wife is like,
Starting point is 00:50:47 you should call and get your money back. Like this is unacceptable. Right. You're so not assertive. I'll show you. Yeah, job 15. Job 15. Yeah, this is related.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Job 15. I got a bot massage. Okay, so there's grammatical errors in somebody so it's hard to read. I got a bot a massage at a day spa for 50 minutes. I only got a 46 minute massage since he was two minutes late and ended two minutes early. I was shorted four minutes and I paid $140. I will pay pal $100 for anyone that calls the day spa and lets them know what they did was wrong. You will send me the recording one time job only. I like how they're complaining that they were shorted for minutes for a hundred
Starting point is 00:51:26 for a dollar massage but are willing to pay some one a hundred dollars. It's the principle. The principle. And it was clearly like the last four minutes that they were looking the most forward. Yeah. One of my favorites is job 21. Luxury elevator review site. We need someone to go to hotels and critique their elevators for our site.
Starting point is 00:51:48 You will be complaining about smoothness, ventilation, speed of elevator, brushed or polished nickel, etc. You will be making YouTube video reviews comparing elevator qualities. Must be over 42 years old for this job. $75 per hour, 4 hours. Oh my god. I'll take it. I'll do this. You know, I heard that job has some ups and downs. Help! Yes. You know, boo. Anyway, there it is.
Starting point is 00:52:14 This whole posting is like drug-filled lunacy. Yeah. But you just keep reading, you're like, what is this? It's all about the same person. So this is one listing. It's one listing. One listing? I don't know. This person keeps saying we or the company is,
Starting point is 00:52:29 I don't know what they're doing. Across all the job listings, how much money is up for grabs? I can't even be good. I mean, if one of them is $250,000 for the year, like, you're talking millions, I feel like. There's some where they're like, if you can do this job and the other job,
Starting point is 00:52:41 we'll give you a priority. Wow. They, they, they, oh, like we can work out a combo, dude. Like, if you can do job 17 and the other job, we'll give you a priority. Wow. You're like, they, they, Oh, like we can work out a combo, dude. Like if you can do job 17 and job two at the same time, like let's talk and, you know, stop like that. It's like with the phone company, well if you get internet too, and cable, yeah,
Starting point is 00:52:55 we can cut interesting. That's crazy. Oh, job 14, sorry, I'm sorry, I keep going back to you because I love these, job 14, call a home theater store that hung up on me and waste as much of their time as you can. I have other stores that I need this done for too, that I pay the same for.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Also, I need you to call my competitors who tried to get my dealership cut off. Waste as much of their time as possible. I will provide a burn phone as well. $100 for one call only. This is amazing. It's almost like the opposite of the rehearsal, where he has dealt with certain things in his life
Starting point is 00:53:24 and he wishes he'd done it in a different way. So he's just making up for it by having other people. But if you do it, complain. And then record it off and like, yeah, I'll put my revenge in some way. Especially the elevator one, like the reviewing elevators, for what purpose? Like what, and wants to make videos about it? I like also the way they phrased it. You will complain about instead of, you will talk, you will discuss.
Starting point is 00:53:45 It's not like we're trying to gush their rating on you. Right, no, no, it's objectively. You're gonna go in there and talk about how these things specifically suck, et cetera. And you will, every job 35 for me. So Eric just gone through them. Job 35. So personal.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Dog poop. The dormant down the street accused me of not picking up after my dog. I need someone to go to the dog park and collect as much poop as they can and spread it all around the building where I was accused. I will pay the fines you get a ticket.
Starting point is 00:54:15 A thousand dollars for anyone that will do it one day job only. I'll do it. A thousand bucks to throw some shit, dog shit around? Hell yeah. So this is like an angry retiree who has a litany of gripes.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Honestly, if you were like old and had nothing to do, but just had like a tiny money to spend, I'd be like, no beneficiaries. Yeah, I feel like I would do such shit like this. I would make a list of like useless, stupid jobs. You just go, yeah, the people arrested is what's gonna happen. There was an episode of The Simpsons where Mr. Burns makes homework his prank monkey,
Starting point is 00:54:43 yeah, and makes him go out and do things, and like just gives him money to go out and like cause Mr It's like it's along those lines Yep, the thing about this listing too is that when you scroll through them a lot of them are like their bizarre Some of them just say filled it'll say like job 16 filled filled There are like four on there that are like he's editing the listing and going like I already have this one done Don't even worry about this this feels like a real life squid game like after you do one the guy is going to give you a card and we like if you would like to make more money come here yeah okay less than mention about this there's like the final paragraph at the
Starting point is 00:55:21 very end after all 42 jobs. We respond to emails immediately. If you're interested in a product review position, we will respond first to those that provide a photo. We respond immediately to all emails, please pick up to two jobs only. You will be contacted last if you don't have a photo. If you want to do jobs that we can't list on Craigslist, put Shady in the subject when you email. Our post gets taken down if we list the other jobs. Sweet game. Total squid game.
Starting point is 00:55:48 This feels like how you apply to write for the onion as well. It is like super secretive. They have like a Google form. Yeah. It's so fucking bizarre. I think we should all write our own list of 42 jobs for hire and come back to the podcast. Oh, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I want to like make weirdo postings on Craigslist like that super bizarre stuff. I feel like you used to see that back in the day on like missed connections, or like backpaging the Chronicle. Oh, the best. Like real weirdo stuff. Like this can be, like this is a coded message that they're sending to someone.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Someone is looking for this specifically. This is nonsense to everyone else except for one person out there. It's like that kind of thing. We definitely should do a follow-up on a podcast one week where we all come with our own jobs. We should compete to see how much money we can make for the response into these jobs.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Were any of the jobs illegal or was it just all sort of weird jobs? They can't list their shady jobs. You have to respond and put shady in the subject line if you want to get the list. Get to the real, the real story. Eric. What?
Starting point is 00:56:49 Eric Shady? You milled him shady. Find out what the shady jobs are. I'm not out. You milled his people, get on a list. And it's like a, I'm not a dog shit. Are you pooping in front of my house now?
Starting point is 00:56:58 No. It's like a, you know, a different email account. It's signed Jake and Alan. Sure. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. It does fit, yeah. It's very scammy.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah. You're a speedy. I've already applied for two of them. If you guys have any dog poop, let me know. Yeah. I need it for an unrelated project. Is this something that I assume went viral and somebody like?
Starting point is 00:57:24 I don't know. A friend of mine sent it to me last night. So I don't know where you found something that I assume went viral and somebody? I don't know. A friend of mine sent it to me last night. So I don't know where you found it. I assume it's somewhere. Yeah. I have no idea. Have you told Tavatt and you game of Thrones on this podcast? Only very briefly.
Starting point is 00:57:36 And in the post show last episode, I was really dragging my heels on this. I really did not want to watch more game of thrones, but I have watched the two episodes that are out so far. Yeah, it's like a week to a release. Yeah, and I hate that I'm getting into it. I'm so into it. I'm into it too. Yeah, I hated the first one.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I was like, this is boring. I was also a little intoxicated, so I was like, I was paying that close attention. But then by the second, I was like, okay, we got some palisandria, but I want different families involved. That's what made Gamert thrown so fun. And this is just the fucking Targaryen.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yeah, there are other ancillary families they're dealing with, but they don't really get into them. It's just like, but they're the stars of the, it's all about, it's all people with white hair. Like there's another family that's like, you know, oh, we also go back to Old Valeria like, let's talk more about that.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Right. Right. Can you all get some, can we get some scenes with them? But no, it's just people. There's Valeria, but there's also a family called the Valarians. Yes, it's confusing. Spell slightly, I watch everything with subtitles on now.
Starting point is 00:58:44 So yeah, especially for Game of Thrones and stuff, I watch everything with subtitles on now. So it's like, yeah, especially for Game of Thrones and stuff like that. Subppails helps so much. But at least you like find out a little bit like, oh, like the, what do they call it? The doom of all Valeria or the fall of Valeria. It was a volcano eruption. Like, okay, thank you. The big cataclysm.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Right. The reason it's not there anymore, it's like, they, they, they, they at least are like breadcrumbing some things. You can tell how desperate HBO are to get people to watch it, just that they have the exact same music in the intro. Like it's not like, they're just like, hey, it's still Game of Thrones, like the exact same tune, which I'm all for.
Starting point is 00:59:19 It's the same style, the same. Do you feel like a lot of people are hesitant to watch this one because the last season of Game of Thrones was so lackluster and they feel like almost burdened by it? Like was that how you were feeling about it or it's just you didn't want more. I mean it's the universe. Yeah in one in one respect. Like I was okay with the way it ended. I wish it had been better but it's fine. That's how I felt. Yeah it was fine. I'm just like and again this is me. I'm not like this this is my take like I know I'm not everyone's gonna agree with this. I'm just like and again this is me I'm not like this this is my take like I know I'm not everyone's gonna agree with this I'm tired of seeing white people
Starting point is 00:59:50 fight with each other the role of the world. It's like we have this high fantasy setting anything goes oh it's like oh and there's one black dude cool like one person speaks with an accent and she's the sex worker like I just wish and that's crazy because whenever I Like, I just wish, and I can say that. Well, that's crazy, because whenever I see that, I'm like, oh, there's diversity. That's good. Man, this is 2022. It's like you said, it's all these people
Starting point is 01:00:11 with the white hair, like you do in the world. Yeah, it is. It is. It's the big area, right? Yeah, yeah. It's like, it was already very much that, and then they really focused on that one specifically for them, right? For me, it was like a couple. very much that and then they really focused on that one's the lightest of.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Right. For me, it was like a couple, I thought the Game of Thrones, for how good it was for like 80%. It was kind of a lot, and I didn't mind the ending, but it did feel like it felt rushed and all the usual criticisms.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Prequels, I feel like are usually pointless because you know how it's gonna end. Except better call Saul, which just, and that was fucking great. It's something to watch that show. And I'm still a little mad that George R. Martin is just doing all these other things and not finishing the foot.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Like, so there's a little resentment still from him. I know it's not his job, but it is his job. Like, it is his job to finish it. Yeah, he's like, it's your job. He, in the entire time, Game of Thrones was running, even to now, one book has come out. 2011 was the, I think, the last one. The fuck is he all see doing?
Starting point is 01:01:15 He's being George R. He's just sort of tending to this franchise now. But it's like, it's kind of like what George Lucas did with Star Wars, but like, he finished Star Wars. Like he made the movie, I don't know. Yeah, and like, George R. Reminds Constellin, saying that he's working on it and that it's gonna come out.
Starting point is 01:01:33 It's like, I think that last book that came out was like in season two of Game of Thrones. Like, this show was really, like it was, how many books are there? Four. I don't remember. I've read them all twice. I don't fucking think it's. It's been so? Four. I don't remember. I've read them all twice. I don't fuck.
Starting point is 01:01:46 It's been so long. I don't fucking remember. Wow. I just love the idea of he wrote such good books that now everyone's mad that he doesn't write more books. We're just like, and then yeah, I think I know there's pressure. Like, I'm sure he feel, and he said this before. Like, there's a lot of pressure now,
Starting point is 01:02:01 because it got, because it started in the 90s. I think the first one was in 1996. And, you know I feel like a nobody and then it took off and they're great but I do feel like you your primary response. Well isn't the thing not to get like dark about it but it's like finishes before you. Oh that's been yeah and he gets mad when people bring it. Which I do. Of course people would get mad at this. It's just coming from training like this tool. Yeah, get your stuff out before you die. Like come on. Well, that's obviously very insensitive. That happened with Wheel of Time with Robert Jordan. All very similar in that it started and it got popular and all
Starting point is 01:02:41 of a sudden, but with him, he just started right, there were more and more books. So the story just got longer and the he died. I just feel like there's such fear with, no, you can't please everyone at the ending. And maybe he just doesn't want to actually end it. But he still, the next book isn't even supposed to be the last one. Yeah, there's two more planned.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Right. So the books came out, like you said, they started in 96, there's five of planned. Right. So the books came out, like you said, they started in 96, there's five of them. Between 96 and 2011, which is 15 years, he wrote five of them. Well, and you can see in the release, it's like, it was like 96, 98, 2001, 2007. You know, it's, it's increasing.
Starting point is 01:03:20 It's stretching his legs. It's maybe he's been distracted by the vans of money that pull up every single piece. Of course, of course. I don't blame him. Like if I were in his shoes, I'd probably do the same thing. But I'm not.
Starting point is 01:03:31 You can just hire a ghost writer to finish it. Well, Brandon Sanderson is gonna be finishing this one up. The same way he did Wheel of Ties. I got news for you. They're gonna, like, they're, I, I'm just being, I feel like it's gonna, but, uh, actuarially, like certain things are going to happen,
Starting point is 01:03:48 but that series will get finished one way or the other. Yeah. So yeah, 2011, it's been 11 years since the last book came. I reread all the books like three or four years ago thinking, okay, this is the year the book's gonna come out. Yeah. It didn't, and it's been another three or four years since then. And I forgot. And it's good. I mean, it is like written in the show was great.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Like, you know, I- I don't remember if we brought this up on the podcast, because sometimes I get muddled with like things I tell people in person versus what I say on the podcast. But we used to watch Game of Thrones at Bernie's place, like every week back in the day. And at some points, we would watch it outside. Like, he would project the, we used a projector outside,
Starting point is 01:04:32 like on a wall, and we would watch it outside. And it was the red wedding episode. And I don't remember if you were there for this Gavin. But it was that scene where all the death was happening and at the very same moment, his cat caught a mouse in the backyard and was killing it. And like essentially like,
Starting point is 01:04:54 ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, and like fighting with his mouse and killing it at the same time as everyone getting fucking murdered. Can you imagine? And the red wedding. And it was very immersive, basically. I bet his neighbors were stoked.
Starting point is 01:05:05 They're like, it is Sunday nights. Like, I got a fucking work at the wardings. Yeah, from playing Game of Thrones. I'm hearing a live murder happen. It's very funny. Man, yeah. So, anyway, I don't remember. Oh, yeah, so yes, this is our Game of Thrones. This is our House of Dragons talk. I've started it yet
Starting point is 01:05:26 There is a I'm getting through Westworld first Is that good? Do you like it? I actually quite enjoy the season. Yeah, I didn't think I would just based off like Season one was probably like one of my favorite seasons of television. That's what I've heard about Westworld It's so good And I felt like the other seasons weren't as strong, but I actually quite liked the direction of this one. The season. I liked this season, but I think it was my least favorite
Starting point is 01:05:49 out of the four, just because I felt like I was left in the dark too long, like what's going on. And then when the season finished, I felt like it was set up for whatever's coming next. Like I'm excited about what's coming next, but I felt like, oh, we are very much, we were very much in the middle of the story here. Yeah, some of the reveals that happened,
Starting point is 01:06:11 I think we're just like, I liked waiting for those reveals because then it feels more like, oh shit. You're also watching it all on demand. I was waiting week to week. Yeah, that's how I get that. So it is very different. That's about sex robots, right? Yeah. Like sexy, sex heroes. Do you know the premise of that? Or guess that's very different. That's about sex robots, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Like sexy, sex zero. Do you know the premise of? Or hook or prostitute robots? It's basically what's real is like a world you could pay to go to and visit. And it's like a very, it's an immersive world where you have hosts which are robots. But like are pretty much like indistinguishable from humans.
Starting point is 01:06:42 And when you're part of this world, you could have sex with them, you could kill them, like essentially just like. You can do whatever you want, it's your fantasy. Right, yeah. Okay. And it's obviously things go in a dark direction. Okay, yeah, well then it starts to deal with,
Starting point is 01:06:58 you know, what is contrasting as like, are these things really alive? More human than they human Oh, yeah, where is motion? What's more like you know, but I've seen it Since they're modeled on humans our shortcomings and failures are inherently There's as well man We handled all this shit and Star Trek the next generation with data there was a Night there was like a Westworld movie from the 70s. You will burn the brain.
Starting point is 01:07:26 It takes its faces off on the VGA. Yeah, I remember that. It was a Michael Criton book. Is that banging in that? There is a, in that movie, there is like a Roman world or it's like all like orgies and like drunken parties. Is it the same source text or is it based on the same
Starting point is 01:07:46 very loosely based on the same thing? Like the theme park with robots, kind of thing. And like in season two of the show, they do show some of the other parks. Like, like I said in the movie, there was like a Roman world, but there is no Roman world in the TV show. There's like other worlds in Japan,
Starting point is 01:08:04 well at one point in the... It's quite good. I would recommend it. All show. There's like other worlds in Japan, no other one point in that. It's quite good. I would recommend it. All right. It's always been one of those. It's like maybe. You'll get to it when you need to. Maybe Westworld.
Starting point is 01:08:12 It's one of those shows that people spoil with their theories. Yes. So just don't listen to people. It's so funny. When you know we were talking about severance for a really long time and then Gav, you and Meg started watching it and loved it and stuff like that. And I was like, oh, can I talk about some of my theories really long time and then Gav you and Meg started watching it and loved it and stuff like that And I was like, oh, can I talk about some my theories and both of you guys are like, no, like absolutely not
Starting point is 01:08:30 I was like, but I want to Because a lot of time people are right and then it's just like, ah, and that was the reveal and I already was thinking Yeah That's an apple with Game of Thrones too, like the fam theories for right. They like fans figured it out. It's happened to me with less world Oh really? With the uh, you don't cut up on it though. You stopped after season, I watched season one and two. One and two, okay. Three is the best one in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:08:52 But if you start one, one is very strong. Like if you start the first episode, you start like the first couple you're like, oh shit, like this is, this is good. Like it's got a really strong hook. It isn't one that's like we're off to, we're off to the fucking races. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But also go in trying not to remember
Starting point is 01:09:07 what we told you already. I feel like we talked about it in a very roundabout way. Yeah, I feel like this is what I've known about West Row, this is from Twitter. Yeah, also I tried to talk about it more abstract, like almost even from the point where it's like, you can translate to the movie too.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Like the old shitty movie that I know only Brian probably remembers, because we're both old as hell. I never watched it, but I work in a video store. So I definitely remember seeing the video. I watch it a few times. It's it's your big you'll bring a fan. Uh, yeah, man, I'm not the 7 fuck yeah, he was the shit. It's a yeah, it's like one of those high-concept sci-fi movies that they tried to make way too early. But it was the 70s.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Right, it was like they're in the 70s. We don't have the technology to really put it on for a big people. Even their grandest ideas for what the future of what technology could do, it's still like, oh, that's all like shitty and stupid. There's so many glorious disasters in the 70s like that. Just like move, I don't know just like
Starting point is 01:10:06 Yeah, they sort of went for it Yeah, and I think about some earlier movies that go for it like from a sci-fi perspective and they nail it like Going back to that Tom Scott video you did eating the hot sauce like you all talked about like the first Graphical spreadsheet and like you know having you know computer displays like it's my last nonsense Probably the movie 2001 a space Odyssey when that movie came out graphical spreadsheet and like, you know, having, you know, computer displays like, it's my last answer probably. The movie 2001, a space Odyssey, when that movie came out,
Starting point is 01:10:29 computer monitors did not exist. But in the movie, they do. Like, they were still prescient enough to know, like, this is the direction that things are gonna go into. So like, these computers need to have monitors for people to be able to interact with them. That's crazy. And it's like, that was not a thing that is-
Starting point is 01:10:44 When men of the moon yet, at that the moon yet, that movie is so good. It's not one I watch all the time, but whenever I see it, it's just like- And even the effects that look relatively simple now, like all the lights going, it's just like to do that then, was insane. And the whole rotating set- The rotating set with the flight attendant in that space plane, is fucking cool as hell. And it's not shot in like a, hey, look at our set kind of way.
Starting point is 01:11:10 It's just so subtly way. Just like, he's just running around and it's also there's that there. It's they also really start to show off like the one point when early in the movie, when like he falls asleep, you know, and he's like, wait, and there's the floating pen like next to him. And it's like, it's floating like, oh, that's cute. But then like someone comes and grabs it and picks it up and he's like, wait, and there's the floating pin next to him. It's like, it's floating, like, oh, that's cute. But then someone comes and grabs it and picks it up and moves it. Like, oh, okay, no, that was really fucking cool.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Yeah, Kubrick's the best. Yeah. I think I saw. Kubrick's the best, but somehow also the worst at the same time. Yeah. Like supposedly an absolute horrendous nightmare to the work. But with all the takes, yeah, like a million, I know, but man, it's like how when he hit, he hit. Do you guys feel like there's not a lot of new movies
Starting point is 01:11:47 coming out these days? I feel like we're, I feel like it's the same movie with video games where it's like the big blockbusters are kind of in a lull. I feel like everything got delayed. And we're kind of still dealing with that. We just saw bodies, bodies, bodies. It's like the most recent new movie I felt like I've seen.
Starting point is 01:12:03 It's pretty good. Did you like it? I wouldn't want you to I felt like I've seen. It's pretty good. Yeah, did you like it? I wouldn't watch it again, but I liked it. Yeah. Yeah, I probably the same. Well, I think with any murder mystery kind of movie, it's like once you've seen it and you know the outcome, you're like, okay. It's like knives out.
Starting point is 01:12:17 What? Knives out that was so good. It was good. Next one's coming out this year in December. There's the second one. Glass onion. Is Chris Evans in it again? Daniel Craig is back.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Dang it. Dang it. Like that. Beyond that, I think it's a different cast. It does feel like we're in a trend. I mean, it feels to me like the business model of movies kind of collapsed and they're like, but they don't want to just come out and say it's dead yet.
Starting point is 01:12:43 You know what I'm like, I feel like the pandemic kind of killed it. And they're just- We're just seeing the lag from the pandemic. I think so. They've made films during that, but then there's those sort of things that didn't get made. And now we're just- I think we- You, the pandemic, also pushed for quicker turnaround and more direct distribution of consumers,
Starting point is 01:13:02 like, you know, Warner did all their movies on HBO Max, and now you're seeing a lot, it's a lot easier to rent a movie and watch it at home while it's still playing in the theater. I rented a watch nope at home the other day. It's like 20 bucks, it's like, well, I'm going to the theater. I've probably spent more than 20 bucks
Starting point is 01:13:17 if I buy a ticket for me and my wife. I thought it was really good. You like nope? I'd go to the draft house, buy a bunch of food, it's like, I'll pay 20 bucks to rent this and watch it at home while it's still in the theater. Yeah, definitely. It was good.
Starting point is 01:13:28 It was worth it. I did that for, I think it was the live action Mulan movie. I think we like rented it or bought it on Disney Plus towards it. Oh yeah, they had that. Yeah. So I think you're starting to see that.
Starting point is 01:13:38 I think there's a lot of pivoting happening. Like now that we have data on how many people are willing to pay and how much they're willing to pay. Now you're starting to see a lot more calculations. What are we going to do for a first run? What budget can we give a movie that we know we're going to get on the back end in revenue from Director Consumer Streaming? It also, too, just feels like the turnaround from in the theaters to streaming or what, or you can rent
Starting point is 01:14:07 for like five bucks, feels so short now. It does feel like, like I haven't been to the movies. And I think since before the pandemic, have I gone? Have you gone, you haven't gone since? I don't think so. I mean, I guess you have kids. Yeah. Did I?
Starting point is 01:14:23 Maybe I saw one, but it doesn't, but in my mind, it's like, eh, six weeks, it'll be out on something. Whereas you remember back in the day, it was like a fucking year. It was a year, a year. It was a year. And then it would be on HBO. We'd like, shit, I don't have HBO.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I'm HBO. Yeah. When's it coming to USA? Right. I guess for me, it's like, going to the movies is something to do. And I think ever since things started, like, coming back to normal a little bit since the pandemic,
Starting point is 01:14:49 I'm just looking for excuses to do stuff. For sure. And like, just be out, especially like with people or even just like in public. And so, movies is like an easy thing. Just like, yeah, let's go to sit in a theater and order some food and... Yeah, I love like the album.
Starting point is 01:15:01 I mean, the album is great. But yeah, I just have it. I don't know why. Stuff is coming out so fast though. Like I've walked past the new Jurassic Park, what Jurassic World and Best Buy. I feel like I only just was out. Yeah, they're really short in the time.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Like it's coming to rent and then to own on digital and then they're turning those discs around. Yeah. Really fast. Yeah. And I didn't want to watch it in either format. I feel like the exception to that as Probably because the time cruise is top gun maverick like it had oh, yeah, everybody was going
Starting point is 01:15:31 It's out on like on it's available on VOD now like you can buy it digitally. I don't The disc by the I think the disc comes out next week. I would buy that on VOD. I loved that movie And but that that's like that they definitely embraced like an older Hollywood release cadence with that. But that because it's like it will be in theaters only. Yeah, I'm fucking Tom Cruise. You gotta go to the big room. It was from the same guy that provided the don't watch the high refresh rate on your own TV. Was that a PSA he did? Yeah. How did how did disable motion smoothing on your TV? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so that they that still I feel like that came out at the beginning of summer, but now it's already available like that even that's faster than it used to
Starting point is 01:16:16 be. But they definitely went through their full theatrical run. We're going to try to give it a full run. I want to on disk. Yeah. I don't remember the last time I had bought a physical movie. I still do. It just seems like the best way to the best quality. Maybe want me to get it out from under you? Yeah, and it wouldn't get patched or... You got like a blue ray or something? Yeah, just like a four-kid-pour-ray.
Starting point is 01:16:39 Yeah. Well there, I think a lot of the films, like all the Avengers stuff, if it had like iMacs format, it's actually you get like a tool image if you watch on Disney Plus and if you buy the disc. So, VODs available now, the disc doesn't come out to November 1st. We're top-ground member. Fair play. No, I did.
Starting point is 01:16:59 But yeah, lots of times also, there's that website that you and I have looked at before, it's like real 4K or not, I forget what the website is. And it lists every physical disc release that tells you whether it's actually a true 4K transfer or if there's an intermediary step or it's been upscaled. It's like when you buy the Game of Thrones box set. It's like now, the whole thing was shot in 2K. So it's like, why?
Starting point is 01:17:22 I bet of that, so I miss her skin. What? It's great. But yeah, I think also would like a lot, we should talk about this. I'm not gonna talk about that. Yeah, I've talked about that so many times. All right, stop.
Starting point is 01:17:36 That's me. I feel completely like- Filsically stopping him once to come out and like go through it again. You're pulling on your own leash. Yeah. So what is everyone doing right now, right at this moment that this podcast is happening?
Starting point is 01:17:49 September 5th, it is around 6.23 PM. Probably getting dinner. What if we all come here and we'll send us a message from the future? No. I'm not doing it. The last time we had that discussion, it was with Brian as well.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Oh, that's right. The podcast was the last labored or another pre-taped? It was when I pre-taped, was it the same time as the live? Oh, it was a live? Yeah, it was like we pre-taped two episodes basically. Right, see, it's not confusing, you got it right away.
Starting point is 01:18:17 That would, that would only happen once and it would have been perfect, Eric. I still don't get the concept. It's like back to the future too. Like I was like, wait, what? You have big sharks in a commodity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about you, Barbara?
Starting point is 01:18:31 What are you doing? Probably, I'm probably still in my pajamas. And maybe I'm watching Topkin. I might do that this weekend, long weekend. Rent some. Go to the danger zone. Exactly. I'm gonna try my goal, and I did this father's day,
Starting point is 01:18:48 like start drinking early, but try to hide it, not hide it, but like keep it together. So it's like maintain that level. So I can kind of coast through the hole. I started that with father's day, like start out, you know, 10 a.m. or something, you know. Nice beer at 10 a.m. or something. You know, nicely. I used to be there at 10 a.m. or something.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Or something, yeah, probably beer. But then somebody brought me as a gift. It was 9% beer. Like it was, and I was, but my judgment was got so down the hatch. And I do not remember the rest of the fight. Basically just drinking like points of wine at that point. Yeah, yes, yes. And they kept saying apparently during dinner,
Starting point is 01:19:31 I mean, I kind of remember, you know, it's like fuzzy. Happy fuzzy. But there's the show we've been watching at what we do in the shadows, the vampire. And at one point, oh, it's so good. At one point, the vampire, she keeps saying, or she just, it's a throwaway line. She's like, oh, you're stupid little baby feelings.
Starting point is 01:19:50 And I said that the entire dinner. To the point to where my four year old now says that it's school to her classmates. I love that. Because her drunk dad. Well, she's got something stuck in his brain. She's like, you were killing with it. I've got to use some of this. Yeah. So yeah, got something stuck in his brain. She's like, you were killing with it. I gotta use some of this.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Yeah. So yeah, the goal is to recreate that. We can drunk dad Brian. We're going to see some pro rasslin on Thursday, on Holy Trinity. Oh, are ya? I'm bringing the kids, baby. You bring two kids to the pro rasslin show.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Is gonna be good. I feel like every time I look at your Instagram story, Eric, you're at a wrestling show. Wrestling is back in Austin, Texas, it's fantastic. I like seeing this elaborate move off the ropes upside down, and then you just hear like, woo! Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:32 It's really cool, at this point, I'm like in my mid-30s, so watching these kids who are like 22 and finally have, okay, I think I know how to put this match together and they just go insane doing this stuff is really fun But these like this inspire pro show that we're going to is it a pin like the pinballs? That's like all the way up north so you can really and play arcade games Yep, but then there's a booth there sometimes that Hands up free beer so something to be aware of
Starting point is 01:21:02 They they can't especially the nine-year-old, she cannot wait. Like, we were, I was showing her some videos. She's into scary stuff and she'll see me watching like old wrestling clips. She was like, is there gonna be blood? And I was like, I don't know. And she was kinda asking me.
Starting point is 01:21:19 She's like, asking me how it's work. She's like, but it's not real, right? And I'm kind of explaining like, well, it's like, it know, asking me how it's work. She's like, but it's not real, right? And I'm kind of explaining like, well, it's like, you know, it's choreographed, but like some of the moves really do hurt and she's like, well, why do they do it? And I'm like, because it's really fun. Like you'll really get into it.
Starting point is 01:21:35 So she's really stoked. And a comic friend of mine, Roxy, I think works. Roxy Castillo. And he's like the manager for like, like, the main event guys. Yeah, I saw him. That's great. Yeah, because she mentioned,
Starting point is 01:21:47 we did a show together a couple months back and she mentioned on stage she had been doing some pro wrestling stuff. And then I saw her on her trailer, so I'm stoked to see her. And yeah, I'm so jealous. I want to, before I die, I want to be a pro wrestling manager for like one fucking mat.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Like a heel, just an eve I wanna come out and just insult the shit out of the country. In Ireland. Oh, that would be great. Oh God, just dust off my IRA jokes. Oh, I just hope you don't bomb. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll go away. I found out that Eric's been holding out on me in this local wrestling scene. Not holding out. I saw on Reddit that there was a local wrestler called Luigi Primo.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Yeah, he makes the best pizza. Who makes pizzas? Oh, wrestles. Yes. Luigi Primo comes out and he wrestles, but he'll probably be at that show. Oh, it's really good. I'm so excited to see.
Starting point is 01:22:42 I hope he is. He's tossing one bill, but he's tossing pizza dough as he's wrestling and he's as a prop. My favorite. How dirty is that? Throwing it to the opponent means like, what the fuck am I gonna do with this? I do love, obviously, wrestling being a performance
Starting point is 01:22:56 in a sense and stuff like that. And just the whole yes and thing where it's like, yeah, he's doing this whole pizza flipping thing and the other guy's like trying to swat it and like all this stuff like. Who was the guy in the old clip where he was like throwing people around the ring with his mind? My favorite is like the guy whose arm is a snake and then the guy's snake charms it. And like it turns on him. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. That's obviously fast. What was that famous clip for? It's like someone's wearing like a mask and they take it off and it's like actually them or something.
Starting point is 01:23:26 It's the sting mask. It's sting, yeah. It's like throwing a sting mask and he takes off the mask. He's really fast. Oh, yeah, that's a classic. He's done that like three times now and it's great, everyone.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Luigi Primo's supposed to be at that show. He's a bad guy now. He turned heel. Oh no, not Luigi. He's not happy with Inspire Pro, so he started a weird affection with a guy named the Red Scare and another guy named the Great Depression.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Oh wow. Oh god, Indy Russell is the best. I love this Luigi Primos, Twitter handle is at Best Pizza Chef. Yep. Very interesting. He's the Texas guy. Yeah, he's here. He's Very. He has a Houston, Texas guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:06 He has like, T-shirt. I saw some of this. I'm definitely going to get some. I am looking at his merch right now. Like, he has this deranged look with the big must. Yeah. I think Luigi Primo would definitely be a little bit different. We could get him in Chupi the Chupacabra cat.
Starting point is 01:24:18 Yeah. I like Chupi. We'll get Austin Legends Luigi Primo in Chupi the Chupacabra cat. I love this little enamel pin. It's like a slice of pizza that says Luigi Primo, do you mean the Chupa Cobra? I love this little enamel pin, it's like a slice of pizza that says Luigi Primo. Yeah. I was, the last Indy Show I was at in Austin was, gosh, I forget, it was like a hard core,
Starting point is 01:24:33 it was an anarchy wrestling, it's several years ago, and it was down, or it was at kind of a bar-ish area, but it had an open area downtown. It, yeah, mate, yeah, and it was like in February, or it was in the winter, and it was below freezing, and it was an open area downtown. Yeah, and it was in February, and it was below freezing, and it was an outdoor show. It was the cold, and these guys are coming out, you know, in the rest of their tights,
Starting point is 01:24:54 and just free, but yeah, it was super fun. And when they would dive into the crowd, they were like, get out of the way. I mean, they weren't letting up because we were there. Oh, that was awesome. It's great, it's a lot of fun. This one, like, running out pinballs for Inspire Pro is like the smartest move because during the break, you're like, I will go play the coin dropper game for 10 minutes and get another
Starting point is 01:25:14 beer in the coming day. This makes me want to go back to play through tag. That's exactly how it feels. It's a blast. We should do that again. Just like pick a night and like, just do it. Who's in? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Very lie. It's a halfway see it's like it's hot flesh
Starting point is 01:25:28 They must be invited and then we'll decide if he wants yeah, maybe maybe not because I like blazer tag But I don't like you know, I feel bad for you. No, no, I don't add it all and like it's no insult to anybody I know I just don't like to go out. I get that. Yeah, I get that. If it wasn't for stand, that's like the main thing that gets me out. It was really funny. And kids, I guess. We did it for Gavin's birthday.
Starting point is 01:25:50 We had a blazer tag. Oh, that's cool. I live right by there. And I guess like, Meg organized the whole thing. And as part of the package deal, we each got a little thing of coins to go play the arcade game. And it was literally like she was our mom.
Starting point is 01:26:02 And I was like, can I give her coins? So I go there for a game. And she, at some like, can I give work coins? So I go for teams. And she like at some point came around with like some more coins for everyone's little buckets and we were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have jobs. Yeah. Thanks, Mom.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Blazer tag is fun. Yeah, I've been to Bla. I've been to many a child's birthday party at Blazer tag. We mentioned this on an episode of Ann, a couple episodes ago. But when Jeff and I worked at the call center, when Blazer tag was still new, instead of eating lunch, sometimes during a lunch break, we'd go to Blazer Tag and just like wipe up
Starting point is 01:26:28 on the little kids that were there. Oh yeah, I love doing that. Like one time we were, we like me and like a bunch of little like six year olds were like behind this, I was like, well I got my child soldiers here. And I just had them kind of fan out and draw the enemy fire.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Hold on in front of you blocking your, yeah, you're right. Here's your key to get you into heaven when you die. and I just had him kind of fan out and draw the enemy fire. Hold him in front of you blocking your... Yeah, Tom, your... Here's your key to get you into heaven when you die. Yeah, I think now that summer's over, we can book the place out again. Yeah, definitely. I was such a blast. Y'all just booked the whole place.
Starting point is 01:26:54 It was like after hours, I think, technically. That's great. And yeah, we booked out the whole place with ours. That's awesome. Which honestly, now I don't know if I could ever not do it that way. Like, because I'm having a bunch of kids around. No, just in terms of like, if you get a big group together and you all pull your money together and actually rent out a space rather than trying to wait for a machine and a bunch
Starting point is 01:27:18 of kids and waiting for your turn to play, ladies or tag, I'm just too old to wait anymore. I can't wait. I don't have enough time left. Yeah. Get the hell out of the way kids. Exactly. Kids could like wait and play together. I'm too selfish. There you go. And impatient and old. All right. Well, let's, let's go and wrap this up. Let's go play, ladies. Yeah. Thanks everyone for watching.
