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.
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. Oh, no. Hey everyone welcome to the RCT Podcast, I'm Gus.
I'm not live.
I'm Brian.
I'm alive.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Q3.
It's nuts.com or real site.
Yeah.
And is it PG?
No, yeah.
They sell nuts online.
Really?
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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,
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,
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
That'd be funny.
Like, oh, you need to fill up this form.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Oh.
Oh. Oh, that's a great card.

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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.

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

We need someone to go up to people that you think need the service and make videos talking
about the service from a clinic needing clients.
Park time.
$150 for one hour.
You basically are like, I would do that. So go up and tell people like, hey, I got a product. talking about the service from a clinic needing clients. Park time, $150 for one hour.
I would do that.
I would do that.
So go up and tell people, like, hey, I got a product.
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.
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.
I need about 15 people to stand outside
and pretend to wait and line outside the restaurant. Yes. I need other people to sit at the tables to make it
look crowded. This is for two hours at 7 pm to 9 pm, a hundred dollars per person.
These. This is a new brunch place. I need 15 people to stand in line Sunday morning,
a hundred dollars for two hours for the next three Sundays. 100%. That's like the best one.
Yeah. They do that in comedy. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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-
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
We'll see you guys next week. We'll be laughing again next week. Bye! Do you like apples?
All right, example.
