Starting point is 00:00:00 Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma, is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics, groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics. Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation of Beastrin.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice. Your choice, that is. From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills. And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in This is a Rooster Teeth production. Last episode of this show, we talked about Thomas the Bumbler.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I forgot about that. We talked about groping a scarlet um we talked about uh waffles we talked about uh best fast food burger we talked about our drafts uh we talked about uh gavin's ice and apple uh which is because he had the huffing of the ice and the eating of the apple. Talked about pancake lengths. And then we screamed about backs. The titles. Oh, no, I didn't measure my back. Oh, no, I know. I forgot something.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Sleeping on ice. And I've been in the lab is those are the titles of for the previous episode. So you have them. I went to a coffee shop today and I compiled all my notes and I have 16 items for today. Oh, that's cool because Andrew said
Starting point is 00:02:31 I don't know how these are going to go because I really don't have much. Well, I got too much. I'm sure we won't get to most of it. I'm coming in loaded. Loaded? Jeff's loaded? With ideas. Yeah, I'm pregnant with with creativity hello and welcome to another episode of the face podcast my name is jeff ramsey and with me as always andrew pantin and
Starting point is 00:02:53 gabby gav gav free uh this is episode 153 hello hello how's everybody doing i'm good how are you yeah hey eric wants to take a guess at something i think nick is wearing the mask today oh shit really you're going for an official guess one that is my official guess i just i heard it sounded i think it sounded a little muffled i could be distance so i will say it could distance, but I feel like we haven't guessed. And I feel like he's trying to be a sneaky monkey. And I feel like today is the day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You're wrong. God damn it. Wow. All right. So you can't guess until we've all guessed. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Well, we got four other,
Starting point is 00:03:41 three other shots at this. Can we also just check Nick that you haven't done it yet? and we haven't, we just didn't realize? Oh, that's an interesting question, Gavin. Because I may have, in fact, been in the mask to this point. I knew it. Oh, wait, wait, no, this is a very confusing thing.
Starting point is 00:04:00 This is like a me thing that I've done. Have you or have you not? Because are we just going to continue to guess if he was? I did it. He did it. We missed it. No, like a me thing that I've done have you or have you not because I'm just gonna continue He did it we missed it here that's so disappointing you serious You did it the post Post Condor Man one? What number was that? What number is it? 149?
Starting point is 00:04:32 I think it was 149. I'm so annoyed. I am so upset. We suck. Oh my God. That's awesome. We are so bad at this That's so good How do we
Starting point is 00:04:46 He's taking a picture In front of the newspaper And the basketball game It was the start of March Madness I had to be sure Oh man So how psyched were you When the episode ended
Starting point is 00:05:02 And no one asked Oh I was so Cause people actually did call it out in some of the comments. I was like, oh God, oh God. You know, like during the episode, I thought, yeah, a couple of people were like, Nick sounded muffled that one. And I did. And I thought for sure, because I think at one point you called out for something for me, Gavin. And I was like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:05:18 So I like opened the mouth ever so slightly to be like, hello. That has really bummed me out. You've done amazing there, Nick. I just didn't ever consider that you'd be wearing glasses under there. Me neither. Wait a second. You are wearing glasses under there.
Starting point is 00:05:39 That's not standard. I've never thought about that. We've been doing face jam forever and I've never thought about you wearing glasses under there. Do you normally wear glasses? I do when I'm not about that. We've been doing Face Jam forever, and I've never thought about you wearing glasses under there. Do you normally wear glasses? I do when I'm not wearing contacts. And so since I was home that day, I just wore glasses. They are basketball and news glasses.
Starting point is 00:05:56 It's so I can read and see. The photo view of the newspaper is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I love that the equivalent of that is the picture of the news website. There's no actual newspaper anymore. I know, it's fucking great. So what does this mean? Do we do it again? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I'd say that's 1-0 to Nick. That's true. Yeah. And it resets all our guesses. Sadly, the guess reset had actually already occurred. So, Eric, you've still used your new guess. I still don't get a guess? I think you've technically used it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 He still doesn't? Oh, I feel so dumb. Jeff, Gavin, and I standing in front guarding the door with our bullet just waiting, and it already ended a month ago. We need to be way more aggressive in firing. Oh. I don't even feel like i played i just lost a game i didn't even play i never even started did you ever throw out a guess no what was what was the criteria was it six months i yeah till the end of the year right till the end of the year okay so from here to the end of the year uh i guess it gets slightly easier for us
Starting point is 00:07:06 because there's what does it just start in 2024 well he might have just won 2023 and that's it so we're done it's april we're gonna we're gonna wait no that makes that makes sense if you don't if you don't win if you lose the super bowl you don't just get to call for another Super Bowl a month later. So you can try again. You got to wait a year. Did you stop guessing if Nick is wearing a monkey mask is the Super Bowl to us? I think it's our Super Bowl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I feel I need redemption. I don't think that's our Super Bowl. Nick won the season. He did great. We need to figure out how many bullets we have. Can we just fire one at a time we need to work this out we need to get together for the next season of this here's what we should do right we have to prepare yeah and there's four of us so we should each focus on a quarter
Starting point is 00:07:55 right oh and then it's on okay it's on us to be on top of our game for that quarter for those 12 recordings. I like that idea a lot. That's great. So I'm happy to take Q1 2024. I'll take Q2. I'll take Q2. Andrew do you want Q3 or do you want Q4? I mean I might as well take Q4. I feel like neither of us are gonna, our shots aren't gonna matter
Starting point is 00:08:19 by Q3 or Q4. We're kinda out of the game already. Q4 is 18 months away. 18 months from now. Put me in Q4. Also, this doesn't make any sense because if we all only get one guess, if Jeff guesses in Q1. Yeah. So if you guess the first week of February and then he wears it the last week of February,
Starting point is 00:08:42 are none of us going to guess it? Well, look, We're all guessing. We're all in control. I'm just going to say I'm going to have an extra ear out in Q1. We can all guess whenever. Okay. Yeah, you're paying. I thought we had zones.
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's like your zone to pay special attention to. Okay. I'm marking him, but feel anyone can tackle him, you know? Okay. Anyone can tackle him, you know? Okay. Anyone can tackle him. So if I blow my load sort of mid Q1 and there's still four weeks left, anyone can still go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Well, Nick, congratulations on apparently winning our Super Bowl. I can't believe that. Perfect season. Thank you. Yeah. Way to go, man. Wow. This is good, though, because now we have 2024 content that we have to get to.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Eric? Yeah. Eric? Yep. Can we get a trophy made to present to Nick? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Let me note that. I'll get a monkey trophy. Do we want it to be a monkey? I think so. Okay. Okay. I'm putting it on the list. Or a trophy of like a baseball player or a bowler or something that we could put a tiny little monkey hat on.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, I like that idea. I think whatever it is, it should have a little plaque that we can engrave every year. And then it just gets moved back and forth. Yeah. Like the Stanley Cup almost. Yeah, exactly like the Stanley Cup.
Starting point is 00:10:04 That's brilliant. Okay. I like the idea of it having like a hat that's like removable. So if Nick gets it, he gets the mask on it. And if we get it, we get a maskless.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Oh, wow. Or the mask is just under our foot. Yeah. That's a great idea. Stepping on the mask? Yeah. And then I think that every year at RTX, it could be in a trophy cabinet.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Okay. At the museum. We could be in a trophy cabinet. Okay. At the museum. We could put it in the museum. Okay. Wow, we really nailed down these rules. I'm excited about next year now. This is great. This is something I feel like everyone forgot,
Starting point is 00:10:36 so I guess I'm really excited for 2024. I do think- My 18-month-from-now window is when I'm paying special attention to when he's wearing a mask. I think that Nick has to announce his win at the end of the recording, though. Oh, interesting. So after the final sign off from Jeff, Nick comes in and says, I was wearing the mask.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Because then our reaction will be on camera. Now, let me let me let me posit this if it starts 2024 and we record the first our first episode of 2024 let's just say that we record the first week of january and none of us want to make that guess and nick says i did it i win are we just rolling on to 2025 yeah based on these rules. I think that's how professional sports works, man. This is insane. But I will say, there's going to be a hell of a lot of scrutiny
Starting point is 00:11:31 the first recording of 2024. I'm going to have my ears peeled. There's going to be a let's interview Nick section every episode. Wow. Okay, well, Nick, congratulations. We'll be working on your trophy imminently and then we'll um we'll give it to you in a special ceremony really gonna need to lean in on the audience to remind us when it's close to 2024 to do this in the exact same way you guys did with the
Starting point is 00:12:00 with the fireplace video where you go hey weren't they supposed to put out a fireplace video in like two weeks? And we went, oh fuck. Because there's every chance we would forget to guess the entire year and also Nick might just forget to wear it the whole year too. No, absolutely. I mean, Nick could go the whole year and never wear it and win.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh, no. I think that's a DQ. No, I think he has to wear it. He has to wear it in one episode. No, hang on. Because if I guess the first, let's just say four weeks in a row, we make our guesses and Nick is not wearing the mask in those four, like we just happen to guess the first four weeks. No, then he has to wear a mask the next episode to officially be declared the winner.
Starting point is 00:12:46 But then we can't guess it, so he would win by default. Nobody has to wear a mask the next episode to officially be declared the winner. But then we can't guess it, so he would win by default. Nobody has to wear it once. He has to do it once. He's got to wear it. What it is is that no one should blow their final guess if half the year is left. Yeah. Well, also, if he never wears it,
Starting point is 00:12:57 then he could just time a set. You can't reward inactivity of the no mask. That's too much of a counter. I think it has to. He has to wear it once within the quarter. What if it was quarterly? No, this is crazy. That's not how quarterly Super Bowl is.
Starting point is 00:13:12 No, Andrew, that's not how professional sports work. No, but every quarter is a season. If you view quarters as a season, everybody wants an opportunity. You should do it sooner rather than later. It's already complicated. I mean, why are we complicating this? Here's what we'll do. We'll do it every year, but every four years,
Starting point is 00:13:26 there'll be a World Cup, and then it can potentially happen twice that year. I like that. That's what the World Cup is to you? You do it twice? You do a bonus. Well, the World Cup is like a separate bowl, isn't it? It's like a separate thing to win in the same,
Starting point is 00:13:43 and it happens the same year as a Super Bowl. It's not the same sport. What about... Can we go to three, maybe? What if the Olympics are on? Can we add the Olympics into this event of categories? We got the World Cup, Super Bowl, and Olympics. We still have a whole separate Olympics thing we gotta do.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Let's not complicate our professional... Let's not cross-contaminate our leagues. I just keep looking at this one picture of Nick in front of the San Diego State game that is cracking me up. Oh, man. You're incredibly good at taking selfies and knowing where your entire bucket is. They're really well-framed. It's a learned skill.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Let me tell you. Oh, man. Well, all right. Well, better luck next year, guys. Better luck next year. it's a learned skill let me tell you oh man well alright well better luck next year guys better luck next year I'm so disappointed are you guys gonna do any kind of like any kind of ear training in the
Starting point is 00:14:37 off season or well I'm gonna be definitely listening to that episode and seeing seeing what it sounds like exactly yeah I feel the worst because like Gavin, you don't do pleasantries. I would have had pleasantries with Nick that day. I would have had more of an opportunity to, I guess.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Well, I assume he didn't attend pleasantries in the mask. I think I did. Yeah. Are you serious? I think I, I think I committed to the bit. And Andrew,
Starting point is 00:15:02 you didn't. Well, I mean, none of us did. None of that. Anybody that was at pleasantries didn't catch it, but you always have the most pleasant you didn't. Well, I mean, none of us did. None of the, anybody that was at Pleasantries didn't catch it. But you always have the most Pleasantries with Nick. Oh, no, it depends.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It doesn't, not necessarily true. Sometimes Eric joins in first and shifts. Oh, Eric wasn't there that day. Eric wasn't there? That's a tough one. That's, wow, man. That puts a lot of weight. TQ'd myself automatically.
Starting point is 00:15:22 That's rough. That's hard. Because I would have known. I think I would have heard it, and I would have gone, yo, this guy's wearing this mask. How does it feel to have missed the big game? It feels terrible. And then to show up on a different day where the game is not being played
Starting point is 00:15:38 only to lose and have to wait a year to play again. Eric couldn't attend the game. I was on the wrong field the entire time thinking I was ready. That's like not even shooting. I feel like I didn't even participate. Losing a game you never played in is very funny. That is
Starting point is 00:15:55 truly, I think, the definition of this show. That's really something else. That's crazy. I can't believe we lost. fuck oh wow i really thought he was gonna i thought he was gonna like put a reminder in his phone like like do this in september or something after we'd long long yeah about it but no i thought it would be way later in the year is the rock draft out by the time this comes out? No. This will be out May 10th.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Yeah, we can put out the rock draft at the time of this recording. I think we can do, I wanted to talk to you guys in between recordings on this, but we have Condor Man, we have rock draft. We can have rock draft out by the time this comes out, yes. So if you want to talk about rock draft, go for it. We also have mall draft and Sloppy Joe's. We do, yes. And that's probably the order these are going to go in, but we can mix it up also.
Starting point is 00:16:50 So. Do you want to say something about the Rock Draft, Gavin? Yeah, go for it, Gavin. Well, if that's the case, I have a clip. Okay. Oh, no. You have a clip? Oh, no. Yeah, I got a clip. I hate whenever Gavin has a clip.
Starting point is 00:17:06 So, first rock pick I picked, can you see that? Rock Candy. Good pick. I picked it because... Oh, did you hit Eric, then? I heard Eric say, good pick. Eric said, good pick. Let me wind on a little bit. That is a dog shit. Number one.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Not even a minute later, Eric has flipped. Eric is now saying terrible pick. So let me defend myself and tell you why I'm right yet again. I am trying to be, as a producer, supportive of ideas when they are brought out. Sounds like you're trying to be full of shit. And so what happens sometimes is a bad idea will come out. Sounds like you're trying to be full of shit. And so what happens sometimes is a bad idea will come out. And
Starting point is 00:17:47 initially I'll go, I don't know about this, fellas, but you gotta be like, hey, rah, rah, let's do it. But then you really think about it and when one of you starts dogpiling on, baby, let's go for it, because now I'm not alone. However, I will say, I
Starting point is 00:18:04 was absolutely turned later in the episode where after Gavin was going to pick Rock Candy, I was proven wrong. And Rock Candy was absolutely a good pick. So you flipped twice. Absolutely. A hundred percent. Sometimes I think the first flip was me, I was supporting, I was being supportive just as like a knee-jerk reaction and then really just
Starting point is 00:18:34 like, okay, I'm not gonna hammer on this one. And then you started getting hammered, so I joined in the hammering. But then, but then, as time makes fools of us all, as they say, as I was, time occurred and rock candy would have been chosen. Yeah, it's like a weird thing, right?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Where if Jeff wanted rock candy, that's where he had to take it. But that doesn't mean it's a good pick. Correct. Like they both just wanted a kicker in the first round. It seems like, and this is, I guess, why I feel this way. I don't think Andrew would ever take rock candy. I also don't think Nick would ever take rock candy. And I don't think I would either.
Starting point is 00:19:12 They just aren't on the list of things that I think we would choose. Gavin, as you said, plainly throughout the recording, you didn't understand what we were doing or why the why your picks were bad or why andrew was getting on you about it so you were truly a wild card that i could not have anticipated so that's why rock candy i wouldn't think would be so hot but then man you proved me wrong that's if you haven't listened to our Rock Not Rock draft, make sure you do. It's probably one of the most combative pieces of content
Starting point is 00:19:48 we've ever made. It's really something. And then we immediately roll into the most wholesome one, which probably isn't out yet. But yeah, look out for the Mall draft as well. Yeah. Oh, man. Do you feel you understand the draft at this point, Gavin?
Starting point is 00:20:03 You've now done three of them. I don't think there's any need to ask me that right now. I'm getting it. You're getting it? Well, let's do a few more. Please let me know when you get it fully. I can't wait. I hope we do continue to do drafts.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I don't know what the next one would be. I don't think we've landed on anything yet, but it is a lot of fun. Yeah, they're really fun. They're great. Speaking of fun stuff we've done, this wasn't... I was telling them in Pleasantries, Gav,
Starting point is 00:20:35 I have 16 things to talk about today. I figure we won't get to 14 of them. But since we brought up the Rock Draft, I was thinking about how we're kind of in between movies right now. Like we've kind of done the trilogy, the childhood trilogy. What? Of movies. Oh, I see. Condor Man from my childhood.
Starting point is 00:20:56 The monkey movie from yours. I didn't understand. No, totally. Get off the Rock Draft. Stop being combative. That was weeks ago and I was just thinking about like all the other movies that I would like to do and stuff that would be fun and I was kind of
Starting point is 00:21:11 like brainstorming a list of movies and then it hit me but none of it had like DNA from the show in it where I felt like there was enough of a through line to make it make sense and then it hit me there was that period where I was telling you guys about the Dracula movie that I watched in high school that I could never find
Starting point is 00:21:26 and then we finally identified it on the show. Would you guys ever want to watch Dracula AD 1972 with me? Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't I? Like, that would be fun, right? Yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:21:37 It's a great movie. It's a great, look at that poster. So what year was it made? Probably 1972. It is 1972, yes. Okay. Peter Cushing. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Yeah, peter cushing was the first doctor who wasn't he no wasn't he i thought william hart always first or two that might it might have been him christopher lee is dracula
Starting point is 00:21:57 sounds great peter cushing who was the who was the god i gotta look it up now first doctor who so is this i don't remember anything about this movie is this just a standard dracula tale or like what is the the thing of dracula ad well after we watched it or after we identified it i watched it and really enjoyed it and was thinking i have remembered none of it i i really it completely left my mind after after i solved the mystery so i I don't know. I know I watched it like two years ago. Yeah, there you go. That's the first Doctor Who.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Do you know what? In that picture, I'm pretty sure he's younger than Brad Pitt. Really? How old is he? Whoa. People looked old back then. Really? How old do you think he is how old was william
Starting point is 00:22:47 oh no when he played the doctor if you were to look at that guy jeff just looking at his face what name would you give him if you didn't know his name does he look like anything to you here's the problem uh i watched that doctor era of doctor who religiously as a kid so the first thing i think of when i see him is just that doctor who from my childhood that's fair um if i didn't it was 58 if i didn't i would think he was an evil snake oil salesman who was coming into town to steal money he doesn't have evil snake oil salesman vibes yeah that's very funny like like he would be he would be a part of the carnival in something wicked this way comes yeah he would be in like a side story in red dead redemption that was memorable for how shitty the guy was absolutely
Starting point is 00:23:35 side quest yeah absolutely 58 that's that's pretty old for i'd say i don't know he looks 58 ish to me maybe i'm a little bit older. But Brad Pitt's 59. I think just Brad Pitt looks great for his age, as opposed to... I don't think this guy looks bad for 58. He absolutely looks bad for 58. He looks about 72 there. You think so? Yeah. I assume he's a wig and he's aged up.
Starting point is 00:23:59 He looks like he's on a day trip out from the home. Like the retirement home. I feel like the black and white is really hurting him as well. It's doing him no justice. Yeah. I don't know. Filmed in black and white.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Somebody black and white that picture of Brad Pitt and see if it makes a difference. I think it will. I have a feeling it will. I think you'll look much older. I disagree. Look at that. Yeah, no. I think you'll look much older. I disagree. Look at that. Yeah, no, that's true. Well, what era of Brad Pitt is that? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:27 You said look at that as if you were right. No, I said look at that because it's the size of a fucking postage stamp. I had to zoom in. Also, he's like 10 years younger than that. That's not a comparable. I don't know. You're just sending me black and white photos of Brad Pitt with no context to how old he is. This is doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:24:49 That might be an older Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt has taken a lot of black and white photos is what I'm learning. Yeah, he's a movie star. That looks like a schemer right there. That's like, oh, I got something planned. That looks like a planned trying to listen and see if someone's inside a mask that's good that's me q1 of next year I don't sing that's you is maybe a little straw oh yeah that's me that's me listening to see if Nick is wearing a monkey mask so vampire Dracula AD
Starting point is 00:25:29 I would definitely watch that yeah absolutely I think it'd be fun we don't have to put it on the we don't have to do it tomorrow or anything but I think it'd be fun speaking of the last thing we did together I think was was the sloppy joes sloppy jo's bingo right yes which i
Starting point is 00:25:48 guess won't be out at this point or maybe right i don't know i feel like i feel like it's a higher priority than the other stuff well okay i mean we can put it out next what's coming out this week that's not face well nothing i mean this is the week that we're recording so nothing is coming out this we're done with does it do yeah we should start putting up one of these every week. OK, well, tomorrow's Friday, so it's not coming out tomorrow. So next week. Yeah, no, I got you for next week, man. Yeah, so that's what we need to talk about. That out 100 percent. I don't want to push Condor Man forever or the rock or the mall draft.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I just feel like we're in our slop era right now, you know? I feel like Sloppy Joe's is done and can come out next week and then we can have The Rock Draft the week after. That's how it feels to me. Does it still come out before this episode? Yes. Okay. Can we just talk about how much fun it was?
Starting point is 00:26:40 I had a really nice time hanging out with you guys. It was fun. I've played it independently twice. Have you? How did it go? It went pretty well. I wanted to see what Slop O'Clock was really like, so I did it at Friday night at like 11.30-ish
Starting point is 00:26:56 until maybe like 1 a.m. How did it compare? I still haven't seen anyone in a wheelchair, which I'm real mad about. That's crazy. It's tough to get. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's so easy.
Starting point is 00:27:09 It's funny trying to like, as you do it, it's so we all did it together for the first time outside of Jeff. And you had such a handle on everything, Jeff, where I feel like we were all like, holy shit, there is 16 different things that can happen. And I'm trying to watch all of it simultaneously.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And it's kind of hard to wrap your head around doing it two more times. You get such a better perspective on like what you're looking for. And it becomes even more fun. I think as you do it more, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it. I started to proof the, uh,
Starting point is 00:27:38 the sloppy Joe's video. And as Jeff is talking about looking out for pink taxis, like two seconds before one went by and no one noticed. I think that's a great part of that content is the stuff that we're just going to completely miss that maybe like shifts the game in some way. Yeah, I think it's something that the old Achievement Hunter audience never seemed to pick up on with us at least
Starting point is 00:28:02 is that it's impossible to talk and pay attention in equal measure at the same time.'s gonna slip right like you're gonna miss something in a video game you're gonna miss something in the live stream if you're paying attention to trying to be entertaining or point stuff out um but you're right like the more you do it the the better you're able to parse everything it's kind of like how they talk about how like when an NBA player hits that elite level the game slows down for them like sloppy joe's really duval street really slows down at some point yeah that's a great way to play like you can take take it all in it does I feel like I'm getting a grasp on the playbook and it gets exciting when you have different cards because
Starting point is 00:28:38 you made like nine cards and like oh shit I don't have this in this one I don't know if I have a full bingo from like five hours of watching from my original card yet. I think I'm missing it. Well, wheelchair I still definitely don't have. There might be another one I'm missing. I mean, it's like that's some days that's how it goes. You know, there was one night I did it
Starting point is 00:28:55 where I filled my card in like leather. That's great. Yeah. Have you seen the wheelbarrow with beer in it? Is that a thing? That was a great thing. The wheelbarrow. Barrow? is that a thing that was a wheelbarrow barrow i did that again didn't i that was the thing we did before fuck i haven't learned wheelbarrow i ain't learned that slip twice no but it's a wheelbarrow sounds so bad it's a
Starting point is 00:29:18 wheelbarrow wheelbarrow sounds a lot a wheelbarrow of beer sounds way more fun than the wheel barrow of beer. But anyway, there was a guy that had a wheelbarrow filled with beer and he kept walking up and down past sloppy Joe's. He did it like twice. And I just thought it was such a weird thing to see. And then like 15 minutes after he did it, a security guy walked up to another security guy was like, did you see the wheelbarrow guy with beer like we're trying to track that guy down i think he was just selling beer independently on the street nobody they're like where is he and then like 15 minutes after that i saw him walk down the street completely empty it was totally empty and nobody saw him once again just walk by i was like hey get away escape it's so much fun you create these narratives when you watch around like what's happening it is funny because it's like you're watching a story
Starting point is 00:30:09 that you're you feel you realize you're the only audience of yes and it makes it feel so much more i don't know like you're like i'm i'm recording this happening in history right now i'm the only person that's paying attention to this yeah like. Like when you watch a TV show, if loss doesn't end in a way I like, I can be mad at Damon Lindelof. If I never see the wheelbarrow guy again, I just, there's nothing I can do. Like, I'm just upset with the world.
Starting point is 00:30:37 There's no guarantee of any resolution to any of these narratives, which makes them feel like there's a higher stake almost in them in my investment of like, I need to see how this plays out. Is someone going to arrest him? I really hope we do it again. I hope we do.
Starting point is 00:30:51 It would be insane if we didn't. I'm doing it all the time at home anyway. Are we just going to see if the people like it and then do more? I think they will, but we should. Yeah, probably. Regardless, I'm going to be playing it independently i'm excited like it is one of those things where you just you catch yourself when
Starting point is 00:31:08 you're bored at home you're like let me pop down over to sloppy joe's and see if i can do a quick bingo yeah i haven't had that but slop o'clock i'm excited to go on other days like i i tried to do it last night but i couldn't get the the live stream to work it was down yesterday i don't know if it's back up it was down for it I thought it was rare for it to go down. Apparently it goes down like once a week. Yeah. It goes down so much now that it no longer scares me when it goes down.
Starting point is 00:31:33 It's like, I'm like, all right, it'll be back up eventually. In your experience, what do you think is the least sloppy day? Oh, there's a base level of slop.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yeah, there's always some. That place, for sure. I'd say Tuesday. Tuesday's a little, because like Monday, it's a base level of slop. Yeah, there's always some. That place, for sure. I'd say Tuesday. Tuesday's a little... Because, like, Monday, it's like... There's some energy to Monday.
Starting point is 00:31:51 There's a... Tuesday's kind of a dud. Wednesday is like hump day. People are excited to drink. Thursday, it's close to the weekend. Friday is prime slop. Saturday is... It's like double prime slop.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And then Sunday, there's the the people there's a pretty large percentage of people that that are hold that had so much fun on Friday and Saturday they want to continue it into the last day of the weekend before they have to go back to their miserable lives wherever they live and so Sundays are pretty good too you know yeah I'm excited I need to try I'll try Tuesday I'll see what that's like yeah I want to see what the the least sloppy of the sloppy joes how that plays how that feels it's a whole. Yeah. I want to see what the least sloppy of the sloppy Joes, how that plays, how that feels. It's a whole different vibe if you try to play in the daytime, for sure. I've been thinking about actually trying to come up with like daytime, daytime slops
Starting point is 00:32:33 and make a whole different board for it because it's like it's like a whole different animal. Clean Joes. hey everyone we wanted to take a moment to remind you that rtx 2023 is happening this july 7th through july 9th rtx is our favorite time of the year where we get to interact with all the amazing people that give us the opportunity to make content it's a celebration of all things roosterteeth with with panels, special guests, community artists, cosplay, and more. There will be exclusive reveals, meet and greets with Rooster Teeth talent, and special merch available only during the event. We're changing up how the convention feels this year, and it's going to be awesome. Imagine a mini Epcot-style convention
Starting point is 00:33:19 show floor with different attractions and activations from your favorite Rooster Teeth brands, all wrapped up in a summer camp theme.'s the summer camp for indoor kids with face jams rat and grackle pub a red web escape room a face museum achievement hunter mini golf and even more cool stuff to do that we're saving for the attendees to experience I am so excited for the face museum it kills me that I'm not going to be able to make the event this year, but I just, I, everything I've heard,
Starting point is 00:33:47 it sounds so cool. And there's some other things that aren't in this that I just, I know are going to be amazing. It's going to be such a fun event. So thank you so much for listening. Uh, we're looking forward to meeting all of you there. Head on over to www.rtxaustin.com to get more information about the event and
Starting point is 00:34:04 buy your badge. I inadvertently discovered a hack yesterday. Oh, man. This is a great episode. I think this is more akin to Andrew's original hack of the McDonald's thing. Which means I'll approve.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And this is not something I did, but I had the option to try and do. But I really wanted to go home i went to alabama and i was flying back my ticket for a return was like 600 bucks probably and then um the event i was at i realized i could finish much earlier than my flight so i just went to the airport like four hours early and i tried to switch to an earlier flight and I could stand by but I just kind of wanted it guaranteed because I had a connecting flight which I was already like confirmed on so I was like I want to just make sure I get that connecting flight so the difference between fares of this earlier flight was $85 and I thought that's that's probably
Starting point is 00:35:01 worth it I'm just going to do that guaranteed Guaranteed a spot on the earlier flight. I'm leaving four hours earlier. As soon as I was confirmed on that flight, I opened my app to make sure I would update. And I got this message. Switch flights get a travel credit. We're looking for volunteers to move flights. If needed, you're still on your original flight until you offer.
Starting point is 00:35:21 Okay. Wow. Look at the top option.25 dollars now i doubt they would have offered that high because someone would have already picked 400 but imagine imagine if you just keep if you deliberately switch to an earlier busy flight and then get paid 825 dollars to go back to your original flight that's more that's more than the entire ticket. That would be like someone paying me to go to Alabama and back. I don't know why you didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:35:50 I think that's perfectly legitimate to do. And I think that's just being a smart flyer. But it also brings up something that I've been wanting to talk to you guys for a while about. I also flew this weekend and I've been seeing this pop up every time I fly.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And I'm sure it's the same with you here it is you're showing it right here Gav that every time you fly they ask you if you want to take a later flight for a credit right yeah because every flight is overbooked because every flight is overbooked if you didn't have a lot going on wouldn't it be fun to buy a ticket not really caring if you went anywhere and just see how long you can stay at the airport. Just keep deferring. Because eventually, if you defer past 8 p.m., they'll be like, well, the deferment comes with a hotel room
Starting point is 00:36:31 now, and then you can just go to the Holiday Inn Express or whatever, get up the next morning, go back to the airport. You could probably become a millionaire in credit in four days just sitting at the airport just going, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it i'll do it what do you do for living what do you do for living oh i fly for american airlines oh you're a pilot are you a
Starting point is 00:36:50 pilot no i just fly on the airline and yeah i just i just i don't even fly defer i just literally just stand in the airport imagine deferring for a living that's great it's like combining like the terminal with the big short like you found the crack of the system and you're shorting the airlines by just deferring constantly never going anywhere i would always deliberately book onto a very busy flight the busiest of the day intending to go much later like don't even bother going to the airport check in take the offer and just show up much later and you could save so much money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 You might miss your flight. Don't worry. I thought about it on Sunday because when you were in Alabama, I was in Savannah, Georgia over the weekend, and I was there with Emily and Millie, and it was like $250 a ticket to delay my flight from Savannah to Charlotte. And it's Sunday, and you just had a whole weekend, and you're tired. But I was thinking about,
Starting point is 00:37:45 man, there's real power if you fly with people and you bought all the tickets. That was $750 right there. Yeah, I've never seen it that high. I've seen it for $100 and stuff. And then you just have to weigh up how valuable is my time? And I really thought about doing it, but I'd already confirmed myself on this connecting flight.
Starting point is 00:38:01 I've seen them go $1,000 before. That's insane! There's got gotta be more than the flights oh easily yeah yeah for sure but at that point it's not i mean their profit margin is probably so good they're just they're more worried about efficiency you know and dealing with like dealing with they're already gouging the eyeballs out of us on money anyway. So they're probably more just concerned with volume and not having too much too many people miserable and queuing up
Starting point is 00:38:32 in the airport. So Andrew, what do you think? Valid hack? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, that's a fantastic hack. I love the idea of spending the whole day in an airport just deferring to try to see how much you can get. It's a great premise. It'd be a great contest right see who could be at see you could do it the longest like could you make it a week and not ever actually get on your flight that feels like
Starting point is 00:38:51 too long i'm trying to think of the best place to do it i feel like the dallas to austin from dallas well i guess where else would it be from it's always so busy but there's a lot of flights so it kind of depends on the day but i always feel like there's 18 people on standby for those flights just go from hub to hub like like dallas to chicago or chicago to charlotte and just yeah i bet you just sit there and churn how'd you make your first million well let me tell you let me tell you about dfw i like ddf having a million in credit for the thing you didn't do. What's your bank? Oh, the American Airlines app. I'll pay you in flights.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Listen, I'm a little... I'm like, all right, I finished your roof. I'm a little short on cash right now, but let me offer you this. Where would you like to fly in the continent of the United States? I've got you covered. I'm a millionaire, but it expires in 2025. Where would you like to fly in the continent of the United States? I've got you covered. I'm a millionaire, but it expires in 2025. I'm getting dragged out of a restaurant trying to argue that, like, no, this
Starting point is 00:39:51 grilled cheese is... You're telling me this grilled cheese is not worth a flight to Greece? This grilled cheese is not worth a flight to Greece. These people are crazy. Gav, I think that's the best hack you've had so far. Yeah. It's great. If I have think that's the best hack you've had so far it's great if I have something that's not time sensitive I'm definitely going to try it
Starting point is 00:40:10 I'm going to deliberately change to an earlier fuller flight and then try and get credit back to my original flight that's fantastic yeah you absolutely should you need to explore this further I had a really this is a small thing but it made me made me happy i was playing the new sherlock holmes game which came out i have a thing how
Starting point is 00:40:32 is it my friend oh it's it's great it's like not the best one because uh they're a ukraine studio so it's difficult times to like try to release a game it's a remaster of an old one what kind of game is it it's like a mystery type game but it's always like uh you have to investigate and it's fun because typically you can accuse the wrong person like you can gather all the evidence and there's typically like three choices and is it like third guy third person or yeah it's third person it's a third person like walk around scan for clues do you like so it's it's it's one of those ones where you just you just put a fucking magnifying glass over everything in a room until you find the right thing it's sort of it's more like batman you know in the arkham games where like you hit right bumper and you got
Starting point is 00:41:11 sherlock vision and like you could scan stuff and like walk around i was playing the new one and uh this is last week and i had such a wonderful time playing the game but then there was a surprise in it that made me laugh harder than it would have in other contexts. I'm going to post a screenshot. This is a letter in the game. I'll read part of it very quickly. Love letter from Arneson.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I can't wait to hold your hand and be lost in your beautiful eyes completely and forever yours, Errol. There's a character in it named Errol. And every time they brought up Errol, I lost it. That guy sounds cheeky. He's a little cheeky. He's a character in it named Errol. And every time they brought up Errol, I lost it. That guy sounds cheeky. He's a little cheeky.
Starting point is 00:41:49 He lost some fingers and got dragged out of his house. He's a little cheeky. I don't have a ridiculous story with this, but this was like two days after we recorded that episode. Wow. How often do you come across the name Errol? Almost never. So to see it pop up
Starting point is 00:42:07 was a great time. It was fantastic. It's always nice to have an Errol sighting. I bet you see it more often now that we've had the conversation. I hope so. It's like if you talk about a Mustang, suddenly every time you drive, you see like four Mustangs. Totally. Yeah, absolutely. I'd love more Errols in my life, though.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Hey, y'all know how I had that XFL opportunity and I got to go run out on the field? I had another cool sports thing happen to me over the weekend. What happened? Well, we went to Savannah to do a college tour. And by the way, I've never been to Savannah before. Phenomenal
Starting point is 00:42:41 city. Everybody there was so genuinely nice. I actually have a really weird thing i want to talk to you guys about that happened and i think it'll spark a conversation um i actually got a bunch of stuff i want to talk about we won't get to it today but we might get to that one uh anyway just like a gorgeous it's like like new orleans without the puke it was just awesome and uh and while i was there i went to a savannah bananas game who is you know the the baseball team that created banana ball that we're well i'm a fan of i think i think y'all uh yeah maybe they're
Starting point is 00:43:12 great is it hard to get tickets to that yeah dude this is how hard it is to get tickets i had to buy them on stub hub i bought general admission was all i could get it was 200 per ticket so I paid 600 bucks for Millie Emily and I to go to this game I got the tickets they're $25 tickets that was how much the price was just to get it but it was one of the things where it's like I've been a fan for a while now I've been kind of obsessed with them who knows if and when I'm ever going back to Savannah you know I don't know that Millie's gonna want to go to Savannah for college and if she, I don't know that she'll get accepted. Like there's a lot that has to happen
Starting point is 00:43:46 for Savannah to become a place that I visit again. And so I was like, this is my opportunity. They're playing a home game. They've been on tour all year. So it's like I really wanted to go and see it.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And so I was like, fuck it. This is one of those moments where you spend a little bit extra money for the experience. And I wouldn't do it again at that price,
Starting point is 00:44:02 but it was totally it was one of the best sports experiences I've ever had. And I took a bunch of videos. I don't think I sent them to y'all. I think I just sent them to Eric and, and Jack, but I've got some funny,
Starting point is 00:44:12 some funny videos of, of like dudes on stilts playing baseball and stuff. I can send you guys. But, oh, as a matter of fact, I should probably post, upload some of those to you.
Starting point is 00:44:22 But anyway, after the game, I just posted a picture of it saying that I was there uh but anyway after the game i just posted a picture of it uh saying that i was there and then after the game i got a fucking instagram message from the uh producer their broadcast producer who was like hey we saw you at the game if you ever ever back at a savannah bananas game and want to sit in on a broadcast let us let us know so now i gotta go back so that i can i can sit in and broadcast on a fucking bananas game. Like, how cool is that? That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:44:47 You're a straight up sports influencer. Dude, I'm carving out a weird little niche these days, and I am pretty fucking excited about it. Let me tell you, I am not. That's unbelievable. That's so funny. I texted Jeff a thing related to like sport like being announced in a sports thing under the thing of like well whenever this will fucking happen again like there's no there's no possibility of this being in the near future but if it did that's wild so
Starting point is 00:45:16 when are you gonna do it you have to do this uh i don't know like whenever i i have occasion to go back to savannah i guess but i really really, really want to. That's not the occasion. You're not just going to go to Savannah for this purpose? Oh, just for that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let me sell you. I would consider it, sure.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Let me sell you on this. You go there early in the morning, okay? You defer like four flights. It's free. It's a free trip. You're set. I love it. Oh, it's you and Stilt Guy.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Oh, it's you and Stilt. Yeah, I took a photo with Millie and I with the Stilt Guy, and then the dude who does all the fucking dancing. I have a funny video of him, actually, the dude on the left. Let me see if I can post this to you guys, or if it's going to be too fucking dumbass powerful. Oh, we got upgraded. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:46:00 File sizes are bigger now. Let me see. I can't believe Eric won. He did. Eric won he did he waited him out here you go this is the video sense of what the game is like
Starting point is 00:46:15 this guy dancing on the field is he being a fish? I don't know if you can hear it but it's the Spongebob Squarepants song so he's being a fish while it's he's doing the... I don't know if you can hear it, but it's the SpongeBob SquarePants song, so he's being a fish while it's on. And then he starts doing other shit. It's great. It's just fucking wild.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Wow, he's got some moves. Oh, dude, they're phenomenal. It's the most insane thing I've ever experienced. Like, it is... I got a video of the stilt guy pitching. Let me send that to you. Oh, here's the fucking banana in the outfield. He spent two innings just sitting there in that chair.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Pretty heavy Eric energy on that guy. He's baseball adjacent. Yeah, that's me. I'm hanging out. Is there a thing where, like, if you hit the banana, it counts as, like, a grand slam or something? Is there a side rule? I don't know. it didn't happen uh i don't think oh man i mean i don't want that guy to get hit but it would be really funny if that guy got hit they they their product is so
Starting point is 00:47:16 goddamn fun i can't i've never experienced a sporting event like it like it there is you talk about like sloppy joe so there's too much to look at there's so much going on at all times and it's kind of like it's just impressive where like so throughout the whole game they're playing they do this brilliant thing where they play like the hook like the the good 15 seconds of every song you've ever heard and they have bits for each one so like when it It's Raining Men comes on or some other song comes on, suddenly everybody breaks into a rehearsed action.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And so you never know what it's going to be because you don't know what they've rehearsed. So like there was one point where we're like in the fifth inning and suddenly a song came on and the umpire started twerking. And I just hadn't considered that the umpire would at any point
Starting point is 00:48:02 be a part of the show. It was fucking wild it's i can't say no i'm not i won't bore the audience does the does the still guy bat no he only pitches i think okay man i was wondering like where would the little rectangle be they only yeah they only they only brought him in uh for like one inning to pitch, I think. Yeah, it's just ludicrous. Anyway, so really cool and really digging this like weird, like sports influencing thing we've got going on. So if you want me to run your team out
Starting point is 00:48:38 or speak enthusiastically about them on a broadcast, just let Eric know. I'll be there. Oh, can I talk to you guys about a weird thing that happened to me while i was there and this will yeah of course i can take us out of the episode absolutely what is the what all right i'll explain what happened then i'm gonna ask you guys a question okay i was we were on a college tour right uh my kids looking at college in savannah so we're on this tour we're touring like the film school and then we're about to move on to like the photography school and we were all
Starting point is 00:49:10 just kind of like beat for a minute like we just needed a break we'd been going for a couple hours and so and we're on campus and we're like let's uh let's let's let's take a break we'll come it's like a self-guided tour so you can come back you can come and go as you please like let's take a break let's go to get some coffee or a back. It's like a self-guided tour. So you can come back. You can come and go as you please. Like, let's take a break. Let's go to get some coffee or a soda or something and chill out in the air conditioning for a minute and relax, uh, catch our breath,
Starting point is 00:49:31 check up on our phones, whatever, and then get back to it. We all just kind of needed a minute. And so I Googled, I Google mapped a coffee shop. And one thing about Savannah that I do not like every time I Google mapped anywhere. And then we walked to where it said it was,
Starting point is 00:49:44 it was not there. It happened to like two restaurants I tried to go to. And then I Google mapped a coffee shop, a Starbucks. And we're like, oh, OK, this there's a Starbucks in this hotel. Let's just go there. It's within it's a five minute walk. And we go to this area and there's no fucking Starbucks there again. It's like the third time this has happened to me.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Starbucks there again. It's like the third time this has happened to me. And so we look around and we see a coffee shop, like an independent coffee shop, within walking distance to kind of down the road. And we're like, I guess, I mean, whatever, we just we just want to sit down. So we go that way. And we go to this coffee shop. The only reason we're in this coffee shop is because we needed a break from a tour. I'm sure I'd let me rephrase that the only reason we're in a coffee shop is because we needed a break from the tour. The only reason we're in a coffee shop is because we needed a break from the tour. The only reason we're in this coffee shop is because the Starbucks didn't exist that they tried to take me to. Sit down.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I pick up. We order drinks. I get an iced coffee. I sit down. We're all just kind of doing our own thing. I'm on my phone, just like catching up on the news or whatever. And Millie goes,
Starting point is 00:50:42 is that Elise Willems? And I go, I don't even look at it from my phone. I go, absolutely not. And Millie goes is that Elise Willems and I go I don't even look at for my phone I go absolutely not and Emily goes I think it might be Elise and I go impossible and she goes no I'm pretty sure it's Elise and I go I I refuse to look up for my phone for this I'm I'm I'm in my zone I'm taking my Jeff break my like I need my time and I just go I go listen there's absolutely no reason Elise Willems would be Savannah, Georgia right now. They're in California. We're here.
Starting point is 00:51:09 It's impossible that Elise Williams would be here. And I hear, Jeff? And I look up, and it's goddamn Elise Williams from Funhouse in the same coffee shop as I am. Williams. Did I say Williams? I said Williams. Yeah, you kept going more and more Williams.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Did I say Williams? Oh, I don't know why you kept going more and more Williams. Did I say Williams? Oh, I don't know why. You were slowly transitioning into Williams. Willems, Williams, Williams. I just get, I don't know, I get twangy when I get emphatic. Goddamn Elise Willems is there, all the way from California Funhouse, in the same fucking coffee shop that we are. And I just think about, and we had like a nice little catch up.
Starting point is 00:51:43 They were in town for a vacation or whatever. we just happened to be that's too small a world it's too small a world not only also trying to find their non-existent starbucks no no they knew and it was just elise james wasn't there at the moment it was just uh he was like with his family or something uh and so yeah like what are the odds that we would be in the same city at the same time? And then that like confluence of events had to happen in the way that it happened for us to be in the same coffee shop at the same time, like a two minute variance in any direction that meeting never happens. How often does that happen?
Starting point is 00:52:20 Do you think that's what I was going to ask somewhere thousands of miles away and you have like quite a close friend and then you just miss them and you don't even know right like how often does it come very very close like how many times in your life have you been like 30 seconds away from running into dan or bernie or like yo mary cruz or somebody you know from childhood you know or just like somebody you know that in our past you know like nico yeah uh or whoever and you were just like you're just like strangers in the night you just miss each other and you were so close to connecting like it must happen i can't believe that it must happen a lot right was it too weird to have a normal conversation uh it was a little no well we hadn't seen each
Starting point is 00:53:01 other i don't think since the pandemic so it was a nice little catch up. But I think we were both it was weird for a second because I think we were both so surprised to see each other. And so like this doesn't make sense. You're not in this place. Why are you in this place? You get a little distrustful. But I love James and Elise. I think I think they're two of the funniest people I've ever met. And I absolutely adore working with them.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I can't imagine a better person to bump into than Elise. Yeah, Elise is literally one of my favorite people to perform with. We did Last Laugh together, and I laughed so fucking hard getting to work with her. And so just getting to see them, or I guess just her in this instance, in that environment, it was awesome, and it was funny. And I'm sure she's telling this story somewhere in funhouse uh right now but uh but yeah like like how fucking crazy is it that that happened she's talking about how she saw jeff rimsey jeff rimsey you didn't like how
Starting point is 00:53:58 james wasn't there he was like trying to meet up with his parents or something like they were trying to coordinate some ubers or some shit. So I just, I said hi to him. I talked to him on the phone. I said hi to him on the phone. And then we texted. We were in the same city, but you said hi to him on the phone. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:13 You could do that right now if you wanted to. I think, no, I know. I think he was also equally shocked. But we had to get back to a tour and stuff too. It's like they were going somewhere and we were on our way back to, well, like we were there for Millie and her thing. So I'm not trying to like crowbar in a dinner or something when they're on a family vacation with you know their family and shit but it was just awesome it was just awesome to run
Starting point is 00:54:32 into them and uh and I just got me thinking like how many times has this almost happened to you in your life yeah I can I can think of a time when I was uh in the office I've talked about this and Gavin walked by without noticing me and then walked out without noticing me. All right, once again, it's not that I didn't notice you. I didn't know what you looked like. No, no, you did. No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:54:54 That was after that. That was way beyond that. We went to pinballs at this point. That was before pinballs. No, it wasn't. It was after. It was post-pinballs. This is a post-pinballs.
Starting point is 00:55:04 So I just went through the so i just like went through the office you just went through the office and didn't see me well i just stared at you the entire time oh i was yeah i didn't know if you had like an important thing that was going like i wasn't going to interrupt you in any way but i was just like oh certainly he will like notice me and and wave and say like hello but no you just walked in and out. No concept that I was there. Did I see you later on that trip? I don't know if you did.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Oh, come on. I don't remember that. That's the main thing I remember about that experience. I feel like every time you've been in the office, I've been there. I don't know. Why was I? I don't remember why I was there. We must have.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I mean, yeah, there must have been something, but I don't remember what I was specifically there for at that time. Speaking of Nico, he sent me a nice piece of mail. Then I started texting him. I had a really nice, long conversation with Nico on text. He really likes Andrew Panton. Oh, yeah. I love Nico. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Yeah. I wouldn't have met any of you if it wasn't for Nico. That's true. My introduction through this was through Nico. Yeah, we would talk about what we do, what we're mainly focused on now, and I was like, yeah, a podcast called F*** Face. I was telling him all about it.
Starting point is 00:56:18 So, Gav, you travel more than any of us. You travel all the time. Have you ever run into somebody in an unexpected place like that? I ran into Tom, who used to work. He used to take a lot of the store pictures and did graphic design. He was an artist, yeah. Yeah, a very talented artist.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I bumped into him in a line for coffee at the Reykjavik airport. Are you serious? That's so far. That's so random. What was he doing in Reykjavik airport. Are you serious? That's so far. That's so random. What was he doing in Reykjavik? I have no idea, but I couldn't,
Starting point is 00:56:52 the coffee that was in my mouth almost fell out because I couldn't believe, like it was like I saw him and I'm used to, you know, I was used to seeing him around, but I had to like remember
Starting point is 00:57:02 where I was. I was like, what's going on? Wait, what's happened why is the simulation breaking yeah it's like why does they I guess they have their own Tom that's weird like the idea of it's not the same guy there's Icelandic Tom yeah yeah and it might have been uh the first time we had like a just a conversation that wasn't about work. That's funny. How's he doing?
Starting point is 00:57:27 We haven't seen him in years. Well, that was five years ago, so I'm not sure. Well, I hope he's doing well. I always like Tom. Yeah. I went to lunch with Major League fan Jack recently, and I was telling him about the Willems thing. And he was telling me that he was in Scotland one day on vacation with katie and they're walking down the street and they looked up and adam ellis was just walking right in front
Starting point is 00:57:50 of him like walking right towards him oh wow yeah which is if you don't crazy this is inside baseball for face audience but adam ellis is another guy he used to work at roosterteeth uh like three or four years ago he said wow yeah we i guess it's one of those things where it's like when you have a slightly larger company the chances of two people having the same birthday goes up like exponentially somehow and it must be the same thing where it's like if you're if you have a couple hundred employees you're gonna see them in other places but i just don't know how because there's seven there's eight billion people well it doesn't have to just be co-workers too it's like every person the
Starting point is 00:58:22 accumulation of every person you've ever met or become friendly with in your life, too. Yeah. But all three of our examples were coworkers. That is true. And I was about to say, the day job is big enough that there are two G Jeffs in the company. Like, that's fucking big.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I've never in my life been around another G Jeff. Ever. There were two Gavins at one point. Yeah, that's crazy. I feel like that's a little less rare, but yeah. I got a ton of emails that were supposed to be for him. Oh, I still get it. I get alumni emails for the other Jets constantly.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I just forward them to him all the time. For his college. So when you went through Facebook recently, Gavin, any updates from Tom? You reach out there? Are there any messages waiting for you that you may have not seen? Maybe you stretch,
Starting point is 00:59:09 okay. Well, let me check. I actually haven't looked. Ari's pissed off. Yeah, we should end this. Nope,
Starting point is 00:59:18 not pissed off. Doing good. No, he's just trying to, just trying to get it to a wrapping point because we have another one to do and should start wrapping up. And some of us have places to be.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Wrap up. No, stop. End this. I'd say you're pretty pissed. Nope. No, I don't think so. We've heard annoyed Eric. This is like, he's standard Eric.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Pre-mad is regular Eric. He'll get mad real quick if we don't end it, though. I'm not pre-mad yet. This is fine. I thought you were always pre-mad. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not quite always pre-mad. Just, you, no, no, no, no. I'm not quite always pre-mad. Just, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:48 it's just kind of like ready to go. You know what I mean? Yeah. You know how like, you know how you're supposed to like warm up a car's engine before you really drive it on like a cold day? I'm just,
Starting point is 00:59:56 I'm an engine in just like a tepid climate, so I'm really ready to go at any given point. Oh, I do have a message on Facebook. No way. Come on.
