you're watching and I'm repeating myself right now. RTTV ExpressVPN. Hey
everyone, welcome to the receive podcast. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Blaine.
I'm Blaine.
I'm
Barbara.
And I'm Gus. Hello friends.
How's everyone doing today?
I love you.
You don't say, you don't say hello to us before you say hello to express VPN.
It's a bit rude.
Well, they're paying me.
You aren't.
If you want to, if you want to, if you want to Apple pay me something right now, we can redo the
intro.
If I Apple paid you 20 cents, would you introduce me first next time?
20 cents.
Oh, Gavin, what do you how much for you to be introduced first?
A whole dollar.
Oh, what do you got there for that, Marra?
A dollar and one cent.
I'm going to throw my bid in.
I'll move your refrigerator and vacuum behind it.
Yo, that's priceless.
But why do you offer that?
Did you have to move your fridge and vacuum?
That's a weird offer to make.
I know, but then something I'm uniquely qualified in this group for.
We were just before the podcast talking about what Blaine's maximum strength basically is.
And from that, I think you about a 16, I think.
You could leg press what was it 900 up to 900, do you think,
pounds?
I just, I'm trying to use a reference for when I was a kid,
then I was first getting into shape.
I was able to put up like 600 some on leg press, at least.
And my legs were a lot weaker than they are now
So I'm not sure I haven't I am not saying that I have leg press to thousand pounds in the like recently, but what's that like half a ton?
Yes, let me do the matter. Yes
I'm not metric I don't what is the you're not metric we are I'm like what no well, no, I mean, like I, you know, like a metric ton.
What do I know?
But I don't, I don't know. England's, you lived here for eight years.
I don't really deal with tons a lot.
You know, deal with them.
A ton of food.
Not a ton.
What's your, what's your thermostat stat to?
Is it Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Yeah.
It's Fahrenheit.
Is it Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Yeah.
Well, I live with an American. You do. Mine's Fahrenheit. Is it Fahrenheit or Celsius? Yeah. Well, I live with an American.
You do, it reminds Fahrenheit.
But like, I've always done Fahrenheit for my thermostat,
even when I lived in Canada.
And then I got so far.
Is that because of your parents?
No, I mean, they're Canadian.
No.
What was the question?
No, they might be old enough to remember the precellsiest times.
Oh, I mean, I'm sure they do, but I guess it's like when you when you're doing body temperature,
it makes more sense to do Fahrenheit because your body is a little bit more accurate.
To temper it. Yeah. Yeah. I guess you could do like decimal stuff for Celsius
Like the difference to me between 72 and 73 is drastic
I don't know about you guys
How many stones can you like press play?
Erick was actually Eric was asking all it depends on how high the stones are. Eric was asking me if he was caught under your 900 pound boulder if I could get him out.
And I think I could if there was something that I had like something to leverage the
way again.
So like if I was like up against a wall and I could put my back on it.
And then I can.
And then I could just go like otherwise you'd slide away.
There you go.
Yeah.
Because if it's like a flat, if it's just like a flat surface,
then he's fucked. I did that recently. I was trying to, I moved my bed to change a light bulb.
And when I want to push it, what? You're moved to bed to change a light bulb. Where's this
light bulb? Yeah. Yeah. No, it doesn't. Where's the light bulb? I'm off the bed. I don't
want to put a ladder on the bed. Okay, okay, okay. Right. So I moved the the bed. I don't want to put a ladder on the bed. What do you mean? Oh, so you know the- Okay, okay, okay.
Right, so I moved the bed out.
Oh, I was like, I understand why this is-
I was like, I understand why this is-
You're dead on your bed.
I thought he-
You could just stay on your bed to change light bulb,
but I guess if it's like somewhat taller, I don't know.
I thought there was a light bulb underneath the bed.
No, so I pulled it, just fine.
I pulled it out, went up there, changed it,
and then when I went to push it in, I like forcefully
Pushed the bed, but it's a wooden floor. So I just slid backwards and both of my legs went under the TV unit and I was just
Against the wall under my
I love the difference between that story and Blaine saying he could like press 900 pounds back to back
and Blaine saying he could like press 900 pounds back to back.
Yep, a few months ago before you know work from home and everything, I was doing some,
I would you call it yard work? I was a, I wanted to, I wanted to get a big rock to put in my yard. And let me tell you, I vastly underestimated how heavy rocks are.
There's a place you can go to where you can buy big rocks.
They call them boulders, but I'm remiss to column boulders because it's only like this big maybe.
It's like a baby boulder. What is that? Four, three and a half feet tall maybe.
So I go down there and I'm like, I'm just looking around this place and they have a bunch of rocks
like this. That's the one. That's the one I want. And so I go into the office and I'm like, Hey, how does this work?
If I want to buy one of the rocks out there, do I like bring it to you?
Or do I put it in my car?
How does that work?
And you looked at me like I was the stupidest person in the world.
And I realized why?
Because he's like, no, we have someone with a fork lift to go and
pick it up for you.
They'll weigh it and then they'll load it for you. I was like, Oh, okay. And I was like, no, we have someone with a fork lift who goes and picks it up for you, the way it,
and then the load it for you.
I was like, oh, okay, my head was like,
how much is a rock weigh?
I don't know.
The fucking rock weighs 600 pounds.
Oh, dude.
So then, I was like, well, I'll wait a second.
I'm gonna put that in my car.
I mean, I could have, but so, I was like, okay,
y'all deliveries, like, yeah, it's like 20 bucks to deliver it.
I was like, oh, for a 600 pound rock, that's a steal.
It's like, yeah, 20 bucks, I'll pay that. It's like, all right, we'll deliver it. So, I'm like, in my mind, I'm like, okay, y'all delivery's like, yeah, it's like 20 bucks to deliver it. I was like, oh, for a 600 pound rock, that's a steal. It's like, yeah, 20 bucks, I'll pay that.
It's like, all right, we'll deliver it.
So I'm like, in my mind, I'm like,
they're gonna send a guy with a forklift again.
It's gonna be like a whole deal.
It's gonna be like a team of guys
are gonna pick it up and put it where I want.
It's one guy who shows up and he's got like,
a pickup truck with a trailer and the rock is in the back.
And I'm like, how are you doing, Johnson? I'm like, how are you gonna get that off of there?
He's like, oh, I'm just gonna roll it off into the street right here.
I like, but I don't need it in the street.
I need it over there.
And it's like much further away.
He's like, oh, well, you can move it.
I'm like, well, no, I can't.
So he unloads the rock and it's just like on the curb in front of my house.
And it's sat there for like a week.
And I kept trying different things to move it.
I kept, I would like try to roll it end over end and
I just couldn't do it. It was like because I couldn't get it up on the curb
I was like I bought this thing off of Amazon that supposedly helps you lift like appliances and stuff
But because it's like a new regular shape. It didn't work
See you out there with this like apparatus
So you're out there with this like apparatus when I touch it to a rock. And they didn't end up helping you move it to where you need to go.
No, you left it there.
It was there for like a week and a half and eventually like my brother-in-law came over
and I was like, listen, we got to move this rock from here all the way over there.
And I was like, don't hurt yourself.
If it's too heavy, let me know.
I'll see we can invite more people over.
We'll figure something out, but uh, yeah, he helped me and we moved it and it was the dumbest heaviest thing
I've ever had to lift up my life rocks. Oh, dude fucking heavy. It wasn't that big
It was cigarette pound. It's also because you can't really get a grip anywhere, right?
So it's not even the fact that it's like heavy, but it's awkwardly shaped
Yeah, it was it was a fucking nightmare and then then it's like, and then we put it down
and then I was like, oh thanks.
But you know, that's really not how I want it.
We need to move in.
We have to like flip it over.
And get it over.
Wait, how long ago was that?
Oh yeah, it was absolutely worth it.
That was probably back in October, I think.
Maybe it was in October.
It was October?
Or like most recent October?
Yes, October? It's almost a year ago. how close for you to calling me? I want to know
You were my backup plan if it didn't work on my brother
I know
As person I wish you to this though sorry turn traffic Gavin. Wait who is it? Who do you think the actual strongest person at this company is? I genuinely think it was Adam Ellis. I think I'm probably... I honestly, I don't know.
I think it was definitely Adam Ellis for a time. So Adam Ellis did this fucking crazy thing
where he went up to a water cooler and you know how they have the big water jugs. I don't know how many gallons are in those things.
Probably like 10, 10, I don't know.
I don't know.
Anyways, he like went up to it,
grabbed it by the top and just yanked it
and it came up into the air and then he caught it.
Jesus.
It was the most athletic thing I've ever seen
they flipped it and just put it on no problem.
And like he did it effortlessly
and I was like trying, like, I could lift
it up, but like even the throw, it didn't nearly get his enough, like, air for me to like
then grab it. It was crazy. That guy's stupid strong.
Dan, you might take the cake, yeah.
Where are we going to get?
Oh, yeah. Blaine was Tony's first choice for moving that DDR machine when it got delivered, right?
Oh yeah, did I just, I just got, I think you did, I just got dumped in the driveway on a pallet
and then the guy drove off and she was like, well, it's quite big. Yeah.
Yeah, I think I came over, I remember coming over to help move that giant fucking thing.
Why don't you call Gus?
I'm all about it.
I'm too strong, that's the problem.
I would have done like, COVID with the water bottle.
I would have popped it in the air and then grabbed it and could have been a whole deal.
That's why you didn't move your rock because you didn't want just like a load of gravel.
You didn't want to crumble it.
Of course.
You would have just eviscerated it.
You know those restaurants
that have like schemes where it's like, hey, you know, play the 32-ounce steak challenge,
you know, if you can't, if you can eat it in 20 minutes, then you get it for free, that
rock place should do that as well, where they're like, you're a boulder, you can have it.
And the boulder's not even that expensive. I think the the boulder was so cheap.
They charged like by the pound.
I don't remember how much it was, but I was like, oh, you get a lot of rock for not that
much much.
It was $600.
It was not $600.
It was way less than that.
It's just a good marketing scheme.
Was this was this Austin, the place that has the billboard where the lady's sitting in that
piece of amethyst or whatever?
No, but let me tell you, I went there.
They charged way more for their rocks there.
The same rock was like quadruple the price there.
I went to a different-
Their minerals were Marie Gundam.
Marie?
Is it Marie, right?
Yeah, I went there and I looked there also.
I bet they have like prettier rocks
because they have like like the diamondy looking like jewels and those are like the the kinds of places that like ladies that do
the crystal worshipping shock or stuff go to probably I probably offended a
bunch of people just by saying that. I have a lot of like a lot of balls.
It's a goop followers. One time I did go there the first time I ever went into
that store I did over here. Two of the employees shit talking someone else's aura. So
yeah I think you are you are correct Blaine in your room with that aura. They said
that the someone had some other customer had walked in and had this really negative
aura about them and had changed the real line some I don't I was trying not to
listen dude I don't I don't know. I was trying not to listen, dude. I don't fucking know.
Oh, I would've been glued to that conversation.
Yeah, I was not about it.
But yeah, rocks.
There are the rocks.
I bought something really dumb as well recently.
It wasn't a rock and it wasn't something.
I couldn't move myself.
I bought this at this point months ago
and it was on back order and it just arrived
and I almost forgot about it. I bought a phone charger point months ago and it was on back order and it just arrived and I almost forgot about it
I bought a phone charger that's also a sanitizer so it cleans your phone via I think UV
They're in a shark tank, right? Yeah, I think so it looks like this
It looks like kind of like a vase or a vase depending on how you say and you put your phone in like this
And it charges it and also sanitizes it. I don't need that. I don't go anywhere. I'm not
making my phone dirty. It doesn't hurt, does it? I mean, there's no downside to cleaning your phone.
I guess not, but I don't like, does that actually work?
Is it gonna work?
I don't know how to do this.
I know that like a UVC can sterilize surfaces and liquids.
I mean, even outside of COVID,
a phone is a pretty gummy device.
It's got all.
True.
But on it and stuff.
It's just such a big dumb thing.
Like when I first bought it,
I thought it was gonna be a little smaller, but it's so clunky.
I think that's a great investment because even when I'm out and I'm like touch
handles to leave my apartment, then on my phone, I still touch it.
True.
I've taken to a spring down my phone with rubbing alcohol like once a day just to try to sanitize it.
Yeah, that's smart. taken to a spring down my phone with rubbing alcohol like once a day just to try to sanitize it.
Yeah, that's smart. Dude, I keep getting cuts on my fucking hands
and the sanitizer to complaints.
Sanitizer, it's just murdering all the tiny cuts
that I constantly get my hand.
And the other thing is I went to,
I had to go pick up an order from somewhere
and they had hand sanitizer out
and it was like mango scented or smelling sanitizer.
And it basically smelled like someone pissed
into a bottle of birthday flavored vodka,
birthday cake flavored vodka.
It was the worst smell ever.
So like, let's not do,
let's not do scented hand sanitizer, sanitizer. It was some that smell really good.
Yes, and then there's some that smell like ass and they made me like me and Kelly were gagging because it's just like
But at least you're clean
Maybe I don't know. Yeah
Just bathing in smell it all day. I'm meeting my Emma. Mommy. I was telling you guys this really I can't
I'm a mommy. I'm meeting my Emma. I was telling you guys this really I can't Emma, I'm gonna add a daddy
I'm meeting my Adam. I'm with these fingers because I have a cut on my thumb and it all swelled out my finger
I like how you're doing the beauty vlogger thing where you hold your hand up in front of the item
So it focuses on it. Oh, then that's from Drew. Good. I
Barbara in chat here
Who's this deep? I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don did you order? Well, at least you don't have to like,
fuck with it, you can just toss your phone in there.
Like you don't have to worry about aligning your cable
or anything, you just like kind of wing it in there.
It's also nice because I'm sure a lot of people
watching, no, this about me.
I get distracted by my phone because work literally
never stops and having it back here in the charger
forces me not to look at it or interact with it.
So it's kind of helpful in that sense too.
So I guess it's a health balance.
I just said I do not disturb or something off to 7pm or something.
That would be nice.
Maybe I should do that and see if it actually works for me.
Barbara is always on.
And I so like, Chris and I just took vacation and just happened to line up at the same time.
And I think we hung out together.
I'm kidding.
We didn't.
Gus, you had vacation right before us.
John's on vacation this week and I think Barb, you're coming up.
Man, we all need vacation because like I came back with like way better free charge batteries.
Yes, I saw some people in the Riftjeet subreddit
were concerned about like some of us talking about
like all the work from home and being burnt down and stuff.
And yeah, I think like Todd and Carrie and some people
went in there and made some posts that we really are
being encouraged to like take some time off
and try to try to cut back.
So don't feel like we're intentionally being worked into the ground or anything.
Yeah, and I think, you know, a level of being burnt out not only comes from the work
we're doing, but also just the state of the world and the heaviness of everything.
So feeling burnt out is not necessarily the fact that we're working all the time, which
I mean, we do have a lot to do and it takes up
the majority of our days, but I think for me personally, I'm feeling burnt out just emotionally as
well, just because it's scary and am anxious. Like, I appreciate the concern in the subreddit,
but yeah, especially with achievement hunter, like, we, I feel like we just still really like
playing video games and making content, and it's like, it's good for us to, because I feel like we just still really like playing video games and making content.
And it's like, it's good for us to, uh, because I, because I feel like at the moment,
it's going to sleep and waking up, doesn't give me the same rest.
Because you wake up and you're like, oh, dammit, world.
So it's, it for us, or for me, anyway, I like the distraction.
And, uh, yeah, we're all very encouraged to take breaks if it's a little bit too much. I just like oh good
No, you go for it. I was gonna say I just like whenever my friends are taking vacation because I like hearing the stories
That they come back to content with because they're actually like sometimes going out and doing things that they wouldn't otherwise because of work
Like Kelly and I went camping and that was a fucking blast
and I'll probably talk about it a little bit more,
but like I'm hoping that John does stuff.
I think Barbara, you were telling me
something about some of your plans.
Like I just, just going out and like experiencing
something outside of these four walls is.
I also, yeah, I'm excited for it.
I don't know if I've ever,
well there's been other vacations I've been excited for,. I don't know if I've ever well, there's been other vacations
I've been excited for, but I'm so looking forward to this time off just because it's it's
been really tough few months and this is the first time I'll be able to like fully turn
off for a lengthy period of time. So I'm excited about that. I also just quickly want
to address a KSO and chat said that I literally just said work never ends, which I did say that.
And what I meant by that is we at Ruchooteeth
don't take breaks from content.
We're constantly producing stuff
and we're constantly putting out things every day
on our various channels and live streams and stuff like that.
So that's what I meant by the work never ends.
Not like, oh, I'm up from 8 a.m. to midnight,
literally just working all the time.
That's not what I meant by that.
Absolutely. So just not clear that up. It's not a job that's finished. You know, like, and done.
It's more... Oh, wait, no, we have to make another video.
But, yeah, then there's different, I feel like different projects take different amounts of
like mental energy and like add different amounts of exhaustion. Like it's weird, I feel like different projects take different amounts of like mental energy and like
add different amounts of exhaustion. It's weird. I feel like whenever we're doing something
live, like a live stream or like the live version of the podcast, I feel like it's more mentally
taxing than something that's pre-recorded, just because I'm always nervous that we're going to stop
or that something's going to happen and that it's going to go wrong. Whereas I give you pre-tap,
it's like, oh, we can just edit that out. But when it's live, I just feel like an extra little bit of anxiety and nerves.
I don't know if anyone else feels the same way about different projects.
What was it mentally taxing for you when you were playing Factorio with John Reisinga?
No, because that was pre-taped, so it was fine.
Okay.
All right.
Good to know.
You just had to bring that up, huh?
It's also, I think an important note too, and I'm sure you guys experience this too.
We're used to making content around each other and together.
And before and after you actually film the content,
you get to interact and socialize
and kind of like bask in the fun of all of it.
Whereas now what we're doing,
it's you show up to a recording or a stream, you do it.
And then it's like, all right, see ya,
like there's no, it's not the same type of socializing
that we were used to.
So that also could kind of take a toll on you,
both personally and also professionally as a performer,
where you just turn on and turn off.
And it's not like a gradual kind of balance
like we're used to.
Yeah, and I also want to say, I don't want people to take it out of context.
I don't want to make it seem like we have the hardest job in the world or anything.
Oh, absolutely.
I know that we're fortunate to have the jobs we have.
I'm only bringing this up because I know there had been concern about it posted online.
So that's why we're addressing it now.
We're not having a pity party, right?
It's not like poor us.
We're working so hard.
We know there's tons of other people doing much more important jobs that are working harder.
We're just trying to give, I think,
the perspective on how we're experiencing it right now.
And hopefully we're doing okay.
We're trying to do our best to balance it.
I'll just, I guess a little peek behind the curtain
as to what's going on.
We're just being personal with you guys.
Here are our friends.
Super grateful for Rooster Chief.
Like, it's just been nice to be in this kind of work
environment through all this stuff
because it's fortunate people are kind of suffering right now.
But yeah, I'm stuck for John.
I think he's just kicking it and reading comic books this week
and that just sounds like just perfect.
Dude, John has been a fucking warrior for Rooster Teeth in the lot. I mean,
always, but especially during quarantine, he's been leading the charge on so much stuff that we've
been doing and really being like such an important person in that group for getting done and getting
ideas out there. So he deserves a very long vacation. He's been kicking ass.
brings a lot of energy. Just like a lot of let it a lot of structure, you know,
yeah. Was it his idea to play that super aluminum game?
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
I watched that. That was pretty funny. Oh, it's with all you guys, right?
It was. I did a bite. I have it on my Xbox now. I started playing it a few days ago. It's fun.
My bed is like it's so full. So that's the like next on my list.
It's interesting to see how you tackle them. Well, the puzzle's differently. I know that was a lot cut.
Dude, it was so fun because I was the first to go and like figuring everything out. I like to take
my time with puzzles typically because I'll'll try to see every element of it
and try to explore the entire room and all that.
And playing is like, I don't wanna look at anything
for more than two seconds.
If you were just barreling through it.
But it was so, it was frustrating
because even the first puzzle
where you're figuring out the perspective
of one of the pieces, I didn't understand what it meant.
So I just kept picking up everything and dropping it.
I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
What am I doing wrong?
And then John's like, just try moving.
And then it instantly clicked for me.
But to watch the other guys do it and get it immediately,
I was so pissed.
Like, no, you're you're you're it was like different mindsets
because you were like, I'm going to be entertaining and like,
milk this and stuff like that.
And now I was just like, I'm going to win.
And it's just like, it kind gonna win. It's just like, it kinda sucks because like,
in the comments, I feel like there's just like
blaine win fatigue.
Like everyone's just like, why is blaine
always trying to win stuff?
Be so competitive and are like, yeah.
They were, they were probably happy to see you
actually try and then win for once.
So I mean, that was at least a little refreshing
for them.
All right.

I played it. And it was interesting because she was watching me play it. How much stuff I did that
she didn't and how much stuff I was about to miss
But she let me know that she did
Because in my head I was being really thorough I was like looting everything and I was just like I might miss a safe and she's like safe by that
I was like what I've looked oh shit
There is a safe and then there'd be stuff that I did where she never found it and it's like it makes you
It makes me wish that I had someone
What should we play everything to see how much I'd miss
from good games.
I say, I played all Skyrim, I've done all the DLC, but how much cool stuff have I just missed
and I don't even know I missed and I will never know that I've missed in that game?
It's really fascinating when essentially no two people will have the same gaming experience
in the same game.
Yeah, unless it's super super linear. Yeah, to an extreme.
Yeah, when, uh, when I was playing, uh,
last of us to any time I came across a note that had like a combination for
a safe, I wouldn't write it down.
I just take my phone out and take a picture of the screen.
I just put my phone down.
Then when I got to the safe, I just picked my phone up and look at the picture
to see what the combination was to open it.
Just because, uh, I didn't want to have to try to
bother writing it down or doing anything. I'll just take a photo. You can't memorize six.
What? Because I didn't know what find it right away or like I didn't want to be thinking about it.
It's like, yeah, I just take a photo. Find it. I would spend like the next 15 minutes searching for the
save just saying like, oh, six, five, one, two, oh, six, five, one, two, you like just like, yeah,
same thing over and over. Yeah. I we were playing D&D last week on our show, Dice 6, 512, you like just like, yeah, same thing over and over.
Yeah.
We were playing D&D last week on our show,
Dice Gas, which a lot of people have been asking
where we can find it.
It's on the Rooster Teeth website.
It has its own series page.
So if you're watching this on YouTube,
head over to Rooster.com to watch it all for free.
But plug over, Gus gave us a sequence of numbers
that we had to memorize for something else in the game.
And I was like, I'm fucking running this down
because there was no way any of us are gonna remember this.
And luckily I did.
Yeah, you needed it.
It was a good thing.
I was really hoping that you all were gonna start trying to
guess at what the numbers were before you found
the actual combination, but no one actually ended up doing.
I think y'all were too afraid.
Yeah.
Well, I always get it.
I'm just going to die or something like that any moment.
I've been telling Kelly because like she's her brother does Dungeons and Dragons and she
knows what it is, but she's never done it before and she's kind of interested in that
world.
And I was telling her how excited I am that we're doing Dungeons and Dragons because I've for years
have been wanting to play, but I've never had a group that would accept me
because they're already like a campaign or like no one would have the
patience to help like bring in a first-timer. So I was always just like, do you
need these dumb?
So I'm just glad that I'm with a bunch of other people that are playing it. It's
so fun. It's been really good. I've been, I've been having a lot of fun. I think I've
mentioned this last podcast one before, but it's definitely one of my favorite projects
to work on right now. Even though it's live, it's one of my favorite things that we're
doing. It's a little more chilled though. Like, it's telling a story that you have notes for,
and you have like someone in the direction for it.
Obviously, we throw you off that mark quite a few times.
I'm sure during gameplay.
One note, but it's very different.
One of these days, like,
Ben and Christian have been writing the story,
and they've been putting together this really well,
put together document that I've referenced all the time.
I have it on my screen when we're recording.
One of these days, I should show you like that document, just so you see what it looks like
and like all the different things that are on it, just so you know, maybe like,
not anything upcoming, like things that you've done in the past, that way you can see,
like, how it looks like from my perspective when we're playing a game.
That'd be interesting to see. What's your favorite thing to work on, bloops?
Oh, man
It's been really cool like trying out a lot of content. I know I talk about all the time
But like I've been having a ton of fun getting back into video games
And like getting to try new stuff like that super liminal video we did was great
We actually blain and I brainstorm some ideas with Chris today that we're gonna shoot this week that we're super excited about but
Really really fun ideas. But like some new stuff that has popped up that people really have latched on to like
I love the guest who series we've been doing in hard mode
That was super fun
Obviously like the podcast it is sometimes challenging to think of things to talk about week after week
But it's it's like the one time I get to see Gavin, which is nice.
Although we did play some board games. We did via the internet.
Frauday. Yeah. By some tabletop sim. That was nice. I played some betrayal,
but there was too many of us, so some of us had to share characters and by that I mean me and Trevor shared a character
God, what is that tabletops him? That's like you get your money's worth out of that thing. That's got infinite games
It's really versatile. You can do so many different things
Yeah, I just hate it because every time I go in I immediately test whether or not I can flip the table and everyone has it disabled.
It pisses me off because I just want to like.
Blaine, I'll do a game where it's going to be resulting in how many table flips you could get in a certain amount of time.
And it'll be your cup of tea.
Excellent. Excellent. Perfect.
I like that you can write messages for other players just in front of the lab.
Barbara and I've been getting have it where we just draw a
shit talk to each other on the table and stuff.
It's good.
Yeah, we that happened in our game on Friday with Gavin Trevor
was the one controlling things, which by the way watching Trevor
play tabletop simulator, I was like blown away because I'm so
clunky with the mouse.
And he was just like flying around like setting up camera angles and doing this and switching
the things and picking up things.
And I was like, I'm horny right now for this.
But he he was controlling the mouse.
I was like, go over to Gavin's part of the table and just write slut what was it slut
bitch or something like I had him write slut bitch in front of Gavin.
And there's so much going on like you're moving all over the table and then you come back
like came back to see all my stuff I was like all right.
And you could tell who did it because it's in the color of your player.
Yeah I did I did one to Alfredo once where I was just like I wrote I think I just wrote
I'm watching you in front of his and I drew a line and it went all the way back to where I was
sat with an arrow to just two eyes.
It was like what?
I like how you could also draw across the game board itself,
not just the table.
I think Blaine was at you, you were filling in something
with green because you were like, for the editor,
you can make this a green screen.
Yeah, I don't know if they're gonna take advantage of that,
but there's just this whole of green, like chromicky green in the middle. And I just want them to put
something really stupid there. And then at one point, I think you did it twice because the
first time you did it, I accidentally clicked the erase all and you had spent like 10 minutes
filling it in. My footage is probably just me just going click, click, click, click, click,
but man, there are there are a lot of functionalities in that game that I had no idea existed until Friday.
So not to learn.
It's almost intimidating.
Yeah.
So.
That was it.
Are you guys.
Do you what where's your mindset at right now towards whether, are you wanting it to be cold,
or do you prefer it to stay hot?
Do you want summer to continue,
or are you just ready for the fall?
I love summer.
Yeah, I love it.
So you're good with what's going on right now.
Yeah, I love it.
I would love it more if I had access to a pool.
Sorry.
That's fine.
Yeah, a pool sounds nice, but I'd like it,
I think, to be a little cooler, I'm happy with it now, but a little cooler would be okay like
where it's not super oppressive first thing in the morning, you know, where you can actually go out and walk around or something
Yeah, yeah, the ability for it to be a little nicer to walk around would be nice
Also, I would love to save more money on my electric bill from having to
No, they should yeah, yeah, especially because now that Trevor and I are using the rooms here as offices
and he has two PCs running.
I luckily just have one, but we've had to crank our AC all day every day, just in order
for our rooms not to be steam boxes.
So I don't think cooler weather necessarily is going to 100% fix that it'll help.
I think I'm full blown ready for winter.
Like Kelly and I invested in probably like $400 worth of
camping equipment.
And when we went, I just scheduled it weeks ahead of a time
because I knew when my vacation was.
And when we got there, the heat index was like 109 degrees
Fahrenheit. Oh my god, dude. It was so hot.
The chat is so,
the device like so many people. Yeah, so divided. Like cold summer cold.
Well, I think if you're from a cold country, say, look at the winter is coming.
Wait, is there an ad? Is there an ad read? What's going on? Blaine, do I do ad reads here anymore?
Not for first member. The podcast with one. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.
Don't defend him Gavin. Or you say young people from colder countries?
Yeah, it's good to say I think people who live in colder climates miss the summer more.
Like as a Brit, I've mentioned this before. If it's sunny outside, I feel like I'm wasting it,
which is how I always felt when I lived in England, I would always be like, oh, a bit of sun there,
just get out and just sun myself.
And that works up until about 42 degrees Celsius.
And at that point, which we've experienced here recently,
running outside is standing under the sun
actually is painful after like five minutes.
It's not the case of like, oh, I got sunburn today.
Wow, it's like, I can feel it burning.
It's like a heat burn instead of like a UV burn.
It's like, ah.
And I think 42 for me is the limit
where it's like, I shouldn't be outside anymore.
Yeah.
That's a pretty high limit, dude.
What is that?
105?
It's probably like a hundred and yeah, something like that.
Yeah, I think 30 a is 100
42 is one oh seven
Because of my lockdown and all that stuff and the inaccessibility of gyms and stuff
I'd been working outside on top of my parking garage out of my Jeep and I've been working out there like some days
Like when it was like 105 degrees out and it just it fucking wrecked me like there'd be times where I'd like leaning into my Jeep
And then it'd be like five minutes later, and I was just like napping on the side of my Jeep
I'm with you though Gavin like obviously growing up in Canada. I'm used to it being cold
90% of the time or at least not warm enough to really enjoy like a pool or a nice like outdoor activity
enjoy like a pool or a nice like outdoor activity. Yeah. So I love the summer. That's like one of my favorite things about living in Austin actually is getting
so much warmth and so many months of summer mainly because like there's so
many pools and outdoor like water areas in Austin which sucks now because you
can't really take advantage of that during quarantine and trying to be safe, but I
love summer and I love the heat. I haven't been outside nearly enough. I am, you can't really tell
on this camera. I am so, I'm the palest I've ever been, I think, in my life. That's saying a lot.
I bet that's like really good for you, though, because the sun isn't, I mean, you need like a little bit
bit of vitamin D or whatever, but
we're all like killing ourselves tanning, aren't we? So it's like, you're pale, your skin's
in good condition. It's absolutely better for my skin and my health.
Trevor and I actually have been taking vitamin D supplements just because we know we haven't
been getting enough sun. But the other day actually, I was shooting some merch with Wes.
It was outside, he was wearing a mask.
We were distanced, we were being very safe about it.
But at one point I was lying down on the ground,
and I was wearing a skirt and white converse shoes.
And I looked down and I go,
my legs are the, they blend into my white converse.
Like I can't, I can't see where the,
I'm so pale, dude, it's bad.
I had been working out enough that like you can't really tell,
the lighting's not doing many favors,
but like I've been getting a ton of sun
because I've been working out outside.
And like when we got to the camping site,
like I was like, I'm gonna be sure to offer 48 hours.
I didn't wear a shirt like as soon as we got to the camp route, I didn't wear a shirt, like as soon as we got to the campground,
I didn't wear a shirt off.
And it was so nice.
It was like an off-and-off vacation.
I died the fire with it.
It was red.
That's something we gotta try to do
during my invocation time is spend some more time outside.
Oh, you gotta,
because the only thing is we had Dutch and Kelly's dog,
Charlie, who was the cutest dog in the world,
and they were like hot dogs.
It was really warm.
So every 15 minutes, I would take them over
to the water hose, and I'd pour just water,
and just like they were constantly soaked
the entire trip because I was trying to make sure
that they were okay and filled up on water.
Other than that, it was a great time.
Sounds so much fun.
I'm so glad to see you guys.

visit that I'm vitamin D deficient, which seems pretty on brand for me. You know, I think
it's something like 80 or 90% of Canadians are vitamin D deficient. Oh really? Yeah. I feel
like that's quite common. The Gus could be the one person who builds up a unity against vitamin.
I guess you just naturally.
I just had so little time in the sunlight.
Yeah, I was like, when I got that result back, I was like, really now.
Okay, I mean, I would have guessed this would have been at some point over the last 25 years,
but okay, we've reached that point finally.
I feel like it's hard.
Like how do you know how much you need?
How do you even quantify? Do you need like 10 minutes a day outside? I think it's an hour a day. No,
I think it's 15 minutes a day in order to get the amount of vitamin, like to properly absorb the
vitamin D that you need in order not to be deficient. Why do you step your face in your phone cleaning vase? But that has the same effect.
She just has a phone.
I don't think it would.
I also think your face would be really, I think that's really bad for you as well.
I think it would never do it.
I don't think my eyeballs in there.
If it's just you, V, I think some of those likes to find, but there's like a specific kind that is,
I think damaging to the eyes.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
I think it's C. I think, damaging to the eyes. I don't know what I'm talking about.
I think it's sea, I think you're right.
But I just looked it up online
to maintain healthy blood levels
aimed to get 10 to 30 minutes of midday sunlight
several times per week.
Imagine if all humans did that at noon,
they would just be like,
just a bunch of fucking plants hanging out outside.
Yeah.
My echo had like health tips, ask Alex for health tips.
I don't want to activate her.
And it was like for better health, get 60 minutes of sunlight,
A day.
And I was like, I don't think that that was written for Texas.
Like, it was like some person way north.
Could I split that into 10, six minute sessions?
Yeah, you hop out.
You run back in. Yeah. I ha ha, you're a mecha.
Yeah.
I saw someone, you talked about activating your voice assistant.
I saw a company started selling a little jammer
that you can put on top of some of those voice activated
assistance so that they can't hear you anymore.
What?
But it seems like why wouldn't you just unplug
or not use the assistant if you're that worried about it?
Okay, I don't understand. Yeah, I don't understand what the point of the device is. It's like this little puck you just unplug or not use the assistant if you're that worried about it?
I don't understand what the point of the device is.
It's like this little puck you put on top of it.
I guess like jams, it's a microphone so it can't hear you anymore.
So you have to activate it by taking the thing off?
You do.
It's basically just like another little puck you put on top of your smart device and it
it met some kind of sound free.
Yeah, but then how sound free use it yourself
on when you want to write that I guess you
you you clap to activate it or deactivate the jammer
I'm gonna say Alexa turn couch blue
Oh yeah
so then if you're using this device you'd have to clap
and then talk and then clap again
okay got it
sorry for everybody that has one activate like right now.
It's like, sorry, I can't do this.
I'm not having a catch.
What color should I make my I have?
I don't have an echo in here, but I need my phone.
Make it as white as your legs.
Booh.
I'm going to be able to see it.
I'll use the shade translucent. Oh, that sucks. I'm catching going to be able to see it. I'll use the shade translucent.
Oh, that sucks.
I'm catching up with chat.
They're like, hey, thanks for not saying the name of the device,
plain.
And then you did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to do blue too.
I'm going to match you, Blaine.
Mine is not as obvious though.
We were in a meeting.
It was like you, you made John and Chris,
and I noticed that our color scheme
in each window was the exact same.
We all had like pinkish, salmonish, blueish.
Oh, that looks like you're in like,
this is jungle.
Mine is very subtle.
I want to get some more because I love the way it looks
when people have the room like super pigmented
in a certain color, it looks so cool to me. But mine is more of a subtle hue. I usually keep it on purple. Purple
of pink. Everyone's getting a girl. I was texting Gavin this weekend because I had
the time. We text so much now. Yeah, we text all the time, but I had the dumbest fucking problem. I had to share it with Gavin. I was I was trying to move my desk to a different location.
But the network port at the at that location wasn't working. So I thought, oh, well, let me just pop off the network port. Let me just pop off that little plate and look inside just you know, I used to work an IT. Maybe I could take a look at it and fix it.
you know, I used to work an IT, maybe I could take a look at it and fix it. And behind that plate was like a spaghetti, it looked like a plate of spaghetti of tiny
little cables.
Like whoever had lived in the house before me spliced to the cable and added like a
shit ton of phone lines or something to it.
And it was just like all these wires running off everywhere.
And I just looked at it and I was like, yeah, there's no fixing that.
It was, it was so fucking mad.
I had to make a video and I sent it to Adam Beard
and I sent it to Gavin.
Yeah, and you're not exaggerating.
It looked like someone had like done a bunch of shit,
shoved the cables in and then used like a broom handle
to like jab it all in and then put more on and closed it.
It was like, it was crazy.
Do you think it's because they just didn't want to have
to cut it and then like splice and like,
new connections and stuff like that?
So they just like fuck it.
Or like, do you think that they're actually
bringing it out as an extension?
I have no idea.
I've never seen anything like that.
And honestly, I don't know how they fit all of those wires
back into the box.
It was like watching that circus bit
where a bunch of clowns come out of a car.
It was like watching that with wires.
It was just like pulling them out nonstop, never in.
And the wiring was also super weird.
Have you talked about like why your poor wasn't working?
Yeah, they had cut four of the wires.
So they tried to make four of the, when you're using
ether it really only four wires are necessary.
And there's eight wires in a cable.
So they had tried to cut the four wires that weren't in use
and use those to send other signals through.
And then all of those were tied off
with all these other wires
that had all these runs going everywhere
that were then different, no reason
because it was all just jammed back into the box.
It sounds like stupid, stupid and existential and stuff,
but I love that because there's
a story behind everything, and at one point in time, a person was doing that, and they
thought in their brain that that was the logical thing to do.
Like there was a story behind some, for example, when I moved into this apartment, I was taking
a shower one time.
I was just like a couple of months into living here.
I was taking like a steamy shower
and I looked on my mirror and I got freaked out because there was writing on the mirror and I didn't know exactly what it said. It was kind of hard to see but it said like something along the lines of
like someone's name and like love and something like that and I just like stood there fucking naked
and something like that. And I just like stood there fucking naked, staring at the mirror,
wondering if I was other being haunted or like what it was.
And what I ultimately came up with was that some girl
took lipstick, signed that, and then had taken a picture
with it like a selfie or something like that.
Just like based off of the handwriting and all the stuff,
that's the story that I saw.
What did it say?
What's up? What did it say? What's up?
What did it say?
It was, I don't know.
It was like someone's name, love,
and then like some like dude, like heart and shit.
So I don't know.
Dude lipstick is so fucking hard to get out of anything.
I dropped a lipstick on my carpet.
It's off.
It's off.
I don't know, but it's got some type of grease or oil
or something in there. That's animal the office? I don't know, but it's got some type of grease or oil or something in there.
That's animal based.
I don't think so.
I bet you that make a lipstick is not vegan.
I think to put on the brand.
That's speaking of the bathroom thing.
There was a video I watched about a lot of old American homes where apparently there
was just a slot in the wall in the bathroom where you were just stick old raises. Oh yeah. You would just like be done because they'd be like single-use
raises or like a couple of uses and then you just stick them through the slot and I was thinking
I was like okay so there's like some sort of catchment being in your open a door and pull them out
nope they just fall into the wall. What? People just assume it's like, well, I've never fell up the wall with raises.
So a lot of people have had like new bathrooms done and they just like tire over those holes
and they're just, you know, mod in bathroom.
But there's still a ton of razor blades in their bathroom wall.
That's so gross.
Do you remember that house I bought that I renovated that you walked in the window of
one time?
Yeah. That had a window of one time. Yeah
That had a wall full of razors. Did it? Did you find the razors? We found the razors We had to rip open that wall because we were redoing the bathroom and that's how I learned about this and it was just like
Hundreds of razors fell out of the wall into like a pile in the bathroom. It's like what the fuck is this?
It's like it's so it's like gross and dangerous, but it's like so ill thought out for anyone.
Do they just think like,
but I mean, people know about the raises.
How, how, I feel like there's no better metaphor
for humans alive in like the 40s and 50s
or in the second, like to be like, yeah, who cares?
We're just gonna put it in the wall,
out of sight, out of mind, not a problem
we're ever gonna have to deal with.
I mean, level sight fuck
When I was a kid or I was a kid since I was in 18s
I might have told this story already but my dad and I were building a new drywall
between their bathroom and their
Clause it and so we're like building up
It wasn't a lot of drywall, but like we had all the studs and all that stuff and for whatever reason
I wanted to put an action figure in there.
So there's just a GI Joe action figure in the wall of my parents' bathroom,
and whoever destroys that house, they're probably going to find just an old GI Joe.
Just like a Leastrag.
I always thought that was cool.
If you're moving out of a house and could leave something there for the other owner to
fly at some point, That's obviously not crazy.
Chances are they don't want it.
Like nobody's gonna be like,
woohoo, that's like,
what if I leave him a dollar bill?
No, I love seeing those ones where it's like
people will find like a safe or some shit, you know?
Oh God, yeah.
Also, fucking unsolved mysteries.
That shit's crazy.
I only, I know I'm so late to the game.
That shows crazy.
They've sold like so many mysteries that were unsolved because of that show that shows crazy. Wait, so they actually solved it. I thought it
was like super frustrating because you never know what happened. There's like covering there was
like 1300 cases in the in the history of the show and they've solved somewhere between two to 300 cases because of tips or whatever
because they like they purposely sometimes will pick cases that they know there's missing
elements that they could just push the evidence over a little bit more they could probably
solve the case.
I'd like it's a public service and it's entertainment that shows crazy a public service. I would be, uh, cool.
I would be remiss if we didn't give a huge shout out to Red Web, uh, Trevor and Alfredo's
new podcast that released, uh, premiered last week.
I think second episode came out today.
It is, I am so proud, uh, to see how well it's been doing and, and the response to it.
But, man, it is, I listened to the first episode twice.
It is so good. It is so damn good.
If you like unsolved mysteries and stuff like that,
then definitely go check it out.
I'll admit, I'm very jealous,
and I kind of hate Trevor and Alfredo right now,
because Redweb is on track to surpass Black Box Down in number of
downloads. And I don't like that. I'm a very competitive person. So I'm trying to figure out ways to
start promoting Black Box Down more to try to pump up the numbers. Is it interesting? Yeah,
they're right. I'm in third place. If that with good morning morning from hell. And I hate, I hate Gus for black box down.
Gus is pretty black box down.
I'm so jealous of that fucking.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
I don't even know where face comes into it.
I assume that's dead bottom.
No, you guys are, I think all the podcasts that you guys have been putting out
and doing have been stellar and kick an ass.
So yeah, I would say that I would say that face is probably one of my that you guys have been putting out and doing have been stellar and kick an ass. So.
Yeah, I would say that I would say that face is probably one of my
face in school.
Oh, yeah, I never asked you.
You asked me what my favorite thing to work on.
We never got back to you.
Gab and I feel that.
I had my figure on the button for five minutes.
And then I was just like, it didn't happen.
I'm going to let go.
But you can probably see me.
I was like this while I was asking.
Sure.

by the community for the stuff that we make.
Like, I know whether to watch stuff we make
based on the community's reaction to it.
Like, I'm gonna watch Red Web
because everyone's going,
I appreciate for it.
I probably wouldn't have listened to it
because you know, you can only listen to so much stuff.
Yeah.
I'm gonna give it a go.
Dude, it is.
Thank you, community.
Yeah. Normally I'd listen to it during
a commute, but no, no more commuting. That's the lay in bed in the morning before I get up.
And that's my commute now getting up and going to go into brush my feet. I think if for housework
and stuff, like if you're, if you're doing laundry or cleaning or anything like that or even going
for a walk outside to get your 10 to 30 minutes of vitamin D.
I know, good morning from hell is usually under 30 minutes,
so that's the perfect show for your walk.
Right, plain.
That's right.
Now, it is one of these things where my,
even though I think across the board podcasts
numbers are down because people aren't commuting as much,
I have been listening to podcasts, non-fucking stop,
and I think Gus can test this,
because I text him whenever I'm listening to podcasts.
And I love that.
I love that I have a direct connection
to somebody that makes it.
I don't even bother with Chris,
because he doesn't know anything about airplanes,
but Gus, yeah.
But it's great too, because whenever I take Dutch out for a walk,
he takes forever to shit.
And I used to get so impatient.
So sometimes I'd get in his face, and like, bin down.
I'd be like, Dutch like being down and be like
Dutch can you take a fucking shit dude
I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitoes dude and now I'm just like listening to black box or whatever and
And he can take his long miss you once. I don't really care
That would make a pretty funny video of just everyone taking a camera and putting it super low down as if it's the POV of a dog and just having a montage of all the stuff people say to their pets.
You're so cute.
I will.
Take a shit, Dutch.
Take a fucking shit, Dutch.
He's like, what?
I love that dog.
This morning I took a Benjamin out and I was like, I think we were walking around.
I was like, I know, I know you need to take a I was like, I know you need to take a shit dude.
I know you need to take a shit and he just peed and he like,
starts running back for the door like he wants to go back in.
I was like, are you sure?
You don't need to take a shit and he's like,
I'm excited at the door.
I was like, I don't want to take you back out in three hours.
You want to go back in.
I was like, all right, so we went back in and fucking three hours
later, he's like, at the door looking at me.
He's like, got a guilty look on his face.
Like, fucking you, you fucking asshole. You're making me go back out
It's way hotter now. I get so fucking annoyed
After cause I should have just done it in the first place earlier
He heard about your deficiency
But at least at least he asked to go out. That's I've always been very grateful about that. I don't have to deal with accidentally
The animals not need vitamin D
been very grateful about that. I don't have to deal with accident animals, not need vitamin D.
I don't know. He doesn't want it. Like that dog is what he's doing
now. He's fine with that because he's he's a black dog. So he
just soaks in sunlight. I mean, like I'll touch Dutch when
we've been out for a while. And he's just he's just radio.
Yeah, he's just absorbing all the heat.
It was my favorite part of the camping trip was,
I said we had COT set up, which by the way,
if you're not camping with a COT,
you're doing it wrong.
COT's our fucking best.
Fuck the ground.
Anyways, I set up a COT and I had Dutch laid out on it
and I got a beach towel and I just drenched it in water
and I fanned it off to get it nice and cool
and I laid it over him and he was just snowing as as a bug his little head was fucking out of the beach.
It was so fucking cute.
Yeah.
There is a great video I saw on the internet of this girl replicating what it's like to be a dog
when your owner comes home and I want to do it but I'm wearing AirPods and I'm worried they're
going to fling out of my head when I do it, but it was essentially her going,
is that my friend?
Is that my friend?
Is that my friend?
Is that my friend?
I think that's my friend.
And then it's like, she was doing like a cat
and she was just on her phone like,
I think I know her.
That's accurate. All right, I guess I'll go say hi.
Very accurate.
So Gavin, I got an answer for you here.
Unlike humans, dogs get almost no
vitamin D from the effect of sunlight on their skin.
So nearly all of the vitamin D must come from their diet.
Oh, interesting.
So wait, so how did they get it before we were
Engineering food? Is it just in animals? Like if an animal is tan, do you get levittum and D if you eat them? I don't think that works.
Sometimes
Because surely, you know wolves
They're not getting fed vitamin D supplemented dog food. I mean, I think it's like you know me right yeah the
usable form of vitamin D called Calcitriol is actually a hormone and is
stored mostly in fat tissue. Okay. So there you go we all learned a little bit
about vitamin D today. I have to give Dutch these like fish oil pills because
his like ass juices will spray out if I don't.
It's really weird and they smell awful
but it's better than the smell of his ass juices
shooting onto my couch.
It's the worst.
Yeah, that's it.
Like, he says milk his gland.
I refuse.
Like, I had to like basically like grab his dick
and inject a syringe filled with medicine into it.
I forgot about that. I draw the line at fingering my dog's ass hole bro. Like, he might syringe filled with medicine into it. I forgot.
I draw the line at fingering my dog's ass hole, bro.
You might be into it, though.
You what?
You might be into it.
You might really like it.
I don't want that.
I don't want that.
He's only, he like, he just now trusts me with clipping his nails because the first
time, like, first time like first time first nail boom immediately
cut the wig.
I like it is a little and he started bleeding and like it was like I fucking punched him
in the face.
He was so distrusting towards me for like like a few days.
It's because he betrayed him.
Yeah, I did.
And then we've only just now eased back into me being able to do it.
And I know how to like where to look for it.
And so because he's got black talons or whatever.
So it's hard to see where the wig is.
Yeah, whatever.
Talons.
Because this is wolf.
I thought it was a quick.
Is that a wig?
Talons for birds?
Quick.
Yeah, birds have talons.
You are a friend of our books.
Then it's over, dude.
Well, guys, today learn Dutch is a bird because Barber's right.
Talents are for birds, hawks and shit. I offer dollars.
Are you trying to think of like the what's it called? Velociraptors with their big long nail?
What would that be called? It's a talent. Yeah, yeah, but they're descendants of birds are descendants of those those tell
true
Evolution
I feel listening to this now as much as I'm talking about Dutch get a fucking dogs or a cat
I know Gavin you're into cats
But I do like dogs like I've lived with a dog. I like dogs. I love the the love that a dog can give that a cat
We'll never truly give you
And I'm okay with that, but dogs smell bad
No, not all dogs
Yeah, get a dog. I mean you can keep you can kind of keep them clean
That bad I'm sure some dog smell worse than others like depending on
What breed they are how active they are where they go and stuff like that.
Like, I imagine Charlie Kelly's dog is not smelly at all, right,
plain.
It doesn't seem like Charlie would be a smelly dog.
That dog smells like shit.
I love that dog though.
And she like, she legitimately eats her own shit.
Oh, yeah, that's like the one downside to Charlie,
is I saw her eat a turd one time.
It's like dude, ruined for a while.
You have irreparably taken.
I have a relationship because she's so sweet,
but I saw that and I was just like,
I don't know what.
I don't know what.
They do stay there.
Oh yeah.
Well they take like a five minute run outside.
It's like that smells, I know there's a dog in this room.
I can smell it.
And they also, having dogs with cats,
like the dog would always just go and eat the cat shit.
And it's like, come on.
We feed you good shit, expensive shit.
Food, you don't need to go and eat real shit.
Why not just save a lot of money and just only feed that shit?
I was like, Dutch, like his style smell,
like when it rains or whatever,
and he gets like a little wet, like anytime it rains,
I immediately take Dutch out for a walk,
because like I like being in the rain,
and I think he likes being in the rain.
And I don't mind a smell.
I think he smells good.
Like I just like, it's like puppy smell.
Blaine's not blaine.
Dutch has always smelled really like fine.
Like anytime you would bring him to the office
and people would play with him,
I never noticed him smelling bad.
He's a good, good duck.
Yeah, he's a good boy.
I was also gonna say when you were talking about
whether earlier in the podcast,
I think my favorite thing is being at home
and having it be like really dark and stormy out.
Like during the day when it gets
that like really dark storm cloud kind of look
and is like windy and stormy but still warm outside. That's like my
favorite weather to be inside with. So you just had someone at the other day
then right? Like yesterday. Yeah. Any time it was start sprinkling
turbine I'd be like come on come on come on come on come on. That's a good way
that you need to I've never experienced that in England but yeah yeah, that's like this weird pre-storm weather in Texas
where someone just like messes with the white balance
of outstop.
And it's like, sepia tone.
Yeah, so everything's yellow or everything's like green.
And you look at the window, it's like,
what's going on?
And what causes that?
Is it like, what's loud's doing that?
I don't know, but it's also like that,
there's this weird like air circulation going on to it at the same time, where it's like, what's loud's doing that? I don't know, but it's also like that there's this weird like air circulation going on
to it at the same time where it's like gusts and then nothing and then gusts again.
I don't know what type of storm thing that is.
I always try and take pictures of the strange color, but I feel like my iPhone just tries
to correct the white balance, so it just looks like a normal picture.
It never goes to justice.
Yeah.
It's weird because I remember at the beginning of quarantine, it just wouldn't stop raining and people are like, I wanted to stop raining
I'm so depressed. I want nothing more than rain right now. Like I fucking love the rain.
Yeah, we were supposed to get really bad rain this weekend because of that hurricane, but
then the hurricane ended up going west instead. So we barely got any as a result of it.
Blow some of the wall down. I think it did. Yeah.
The very strong mighty wall.
I was really concerned about that because like the last time he
used to get hit by Hurricane was like that big one.
And that combined with COVID, it's just like, well,
those guys can't take it back in April.
Bernie and I were texting about like disaster scenarios
for COVID, like how bad could it be?
And I was speculating about how bad it would be if it was still going on during hurricane season,
which obviously it is. And then a hurricane hit an impacted area, because at that point,
once you have evacuations and people in shelters, then it's really much more difficult to
enforce social distancing and masks. That could be really, really bad.
just seeing and masks. That could be really, really bad. Well, I mean, is Hannah done? That's the one. There's a hurricane Hannah and 20.
Yeah, I was supposed to be in South Texas that it was saying.
Is it done though?
Pretty much. It's just thunderstorms over in Mexico at this point.
I'm hoping it passes on eventfully. Even if we don't get any rain as much as I want rain,
I don't want people to get in. I don't want it to fuck up another thing. It's just God's year.
But just a nice, a nice weekend thunderstorm in would be so lovely. That's like,
uh, love it. I've also been puzzling too. I'm an old lady now, by the way. I think quarantine has
turned me into an old lady. I'm wearing slippers. I fucking walked into a table and broke my toe this weekend because I'm fragile as fuck now. And then I'm also doing
puzzles. I don't think it's a quarantine thing. I think it's the years I did it to you, Barbara.
It might be. But yeah, I fucking, I was leading down to pick something up and like walking away and my toe hooked onto the dining room table leg and just my body kept moving forward and my toe did not.
And I was just really mad at myself because if there's one thing you don't want during
having to stay home is not being able to even move around your own home, which sucks.
I'm just rolling my chair everywhere I go.
God, I'm still so jealous that you have a weight room. I think about that.
I wake up in the morning and I think about how jealous
I am of you and Trevor Varier.
How do you feel about just ruining some of your place
and like replacing the kitchen with just a load of weights?
Yeah, you could just not have a living room, Blaine.
A, there's no, there's really no space in my place.
Like, I, with Dutch moving in, I didn't even have enough space to put in a, like,
a Christmas tree this year.
B, there's zero inventory.
Like, there was like a great, it was like plates became gold and there was a gold rush.
Like, there are no, there's no way to quit me anymore.
You like have to get your hands on it immediately
or else it's out of stock for like weeks.
You could just buy a bolder.
You're right.
I'm sure gym memberships usually,
because you know, if you wanna, you know,
spot me some cash, Trevor and I could leave for a couple hours
and you guys will wipe everything down for you.
I'll work out in a fucking hazmat suit.
I'll do whatever it takes.
I bet you guys got a nice stuff.
That would just stop steaming up.
Be so gross.
Dude, I mean, I've already done that because they opened up
our apartment gym and God, the rules are so fucking stupid.
They are basically like, it's only open from 10 to four.
They're like 12 to four on these days.
So then you have like what, you know,
a group of people that would be going in across
this span of 24 hours are all coming in
for a four hour concentrated block
in the middle of the pandemic,
and most of them weren't wearing masks,
and if they are, then they get winded
and they pull the masks down, so it's fucking useless.
And the limit is not low enough.
It's only like, I think there's 10 people allowed,
but it's not a big weight room.
So basically, I don't even work out in my own weight room,
even though it's open now, because I don't feel good,
but it's, fuck, I don't even know where I was going with that.
I'm so fucking frustrated, I want to live for so bad.
It's just, dude, you must be just dying, not being able to be in an actual gym.
I mean, fortunately, I date a personal trainer.
So if anything, my legs have gotten bigger.
My ass is popping.
You can come lift a boulder in front of my house if you want for a bit.
I'll take you up on that.
Yeah.
I was noticing the other day because I, for people who don't know Kelly was my trainer is my trainer
Obviously not been going to the gym in the last few months
So I haven't gotten physically trained by her
But we have done stuff like over zoom and stuff
But something I've noticed is she she's so good at what she does
But especially paying attention to de Booty
Uh, which is, as a white woman, I'm not predisposed
to having a big butt or a good butt,
and she has helped me with that.
I've noticed since quarantine has started,
my butt is progressively getting flatter and flatter,
and maybe that's because I'm literally sitting
in this chair all day,
but also not working out as much.
It's like deflating, you're getting shorter
in the frame every day.
You're squashing your butt for a living.
So I might have to get her help to plump it back up. How do you make a big a butt?
Oh, God. Squats in that. Well, she had been making me do a bunch of activation stuff
and just really because I don't have weights, it's just not like reps at this point. But I mean, she had been making me do a bunch of activation stuff and just really, because I don't have weights,
it's just not like reps at this point.
But I mean, she and, oh God, it's been in fucking intense.
Like, she'll make me hit a lift
and then like zero rest immediately going to something else
and it's a list that I hadn't been doing before
because I kind of got into a routine.
But it's like, my ass is on fire by the time she's done with it.
Something also too that she taught me in training
is that any exercise could be a butt exercise
if you're doing it the right way.
Like a push up?
Even a push up.
Yeah, it's just those tensing certain places
and using like essentially activating your glutes
while doing certain lifts or certain exercises,
you will feel it and it'll help you with that lift.
So even if like an overhead press, if you clench your butt, you could really get
a more powerful lift. I'm not going all the way up because I'm my arms should go out
of frame, whatever. But a lot of it could be butt exercises and glute activation.
I want to welcome my gooch. I want to really like powerful Gucci. That's just like a fucked up kegel, right?
Is that a muscle that you can...
What if you had a bulge right there?
Like, if you had it so muscular, it bulged out.
It'd be like sitting on a wallet and your back pocket,
at least it down.
So, like, Kelly does his thing.
When she wants me to activate a muscle, she'll tap on it.
So if I'm working tricep,
this will just start tapping on it,
and I'll feel it,
and I'll know how to activate it, you know.
So when you said that,
I started tapping my goose to see how I get.
Ah!
She walks in,
she's like,
why are you fingering yourself again?
You're on camera for Christy.
If you're gonna do that to yourself,
you may as well do it to Dutch as well.
No, no!
Pfft!
Pfft!
God dammit.
God, I'm not sure even if I tapped on some of my muscles,
I'd even be able to move them.
You'd be surprised.
You'd be surprised with proper form and stuff like that.
How much you've said things differently.
Oh, did you feel it?
It's a love camera.
I should just be clenching my butt while I do the podcast, I'm not going to be a fan of this. I'm not going to be a fan of this. I'm not going to be a fan of this. I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this.
I'm not going to be a fan of this. I'm not going to be a fan of this. more weeks of the podcast bring it at me. Here we go. You'll get taller and taller again.
It's like you're re-inflating on the brain.
Yeah, blame work it.
Yeah.
Gavin, have we talked about the Halo Infinite gameplay?
Oh, can we?
What did you think about?
I think I'm broken. I think I'm broken I think I'm broken because I
I'm just I feel like I'm so biased
I'm so excited for anything Halo and I say that not anything Halo. I didn't really care for
Halo wars, but I can mean, you know numbered slash named Halo game. I just can't wait.
Like, yes, I wasn't blown away by the graphics
in the video, but I'm just so excited to play a new Halo.
I feel like I've replayed every campaign so many times
that it's just like to be like aged 32
and they're still making Halo for me.
I'm so excited by that.
It just reminded me so much in a good way of the original Halo game of combat evolved,
the way that the action flowed, even the setting, the way there was something about the aesthetic
that made me really think about it. Yeah, I said that.
Exactly. And, brides. They added a grappling hook. Like that obviously wasn't in the first
Halo game, but I was really impressed and curious to see
how it plays out.
A lot of people were asking me their thoughts
on the game and they were like, yeah,
and I could have, people were saying,
I could have done without the grappling hook.
And I was like, why didn't you haven't used it yet?
You don't know how it feels.
And also in Halo 5, that was that like, Spartan ground pound.
Yeah. To me, a grappling hook is just like,
one of those that can also go upwards.
It's like, you're just adding onto that.
It's not gonna be like revolutionary different.
I feel like it's nice to get around fast in Halo games
to feel fluid and to like, use other methods
for like, punch and shit in the face.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited to be honest.
I think maybe, I'm with you.
I agree with you.
I'm just gonna play devil's advocate for a second.
I think maybe the concern,
maybe they don't even realize it when they're verbalizing it,
but it's like traditionally,
Halo is a very slow moving game.
The single player campaign,
like Master Chief isn't a very fast character.
So I hear with the advent of the grappling hook,
like it's gonna change the speed of the game.
Like it's gonna speed it up a little bit, which is not something that they're maybe used
to.
Maybe that's it.
Coming off of Doom Eternal and that had a grappling hook in it, and that made things so much more
fun, fast traveling, and just like, this even has more stuff to do with it.
You can pull things towards you, or you could use it to maneuver around like the environment. So I was pretty stoked about that. I still think Doom Guy would kick
masters use it. We should, uh, is there a death battle about that? Can we, can we request that?
They made it in match. It was one. It was such bullshit. Oh, okay. So then it settled already then.
No, it's not. No, it's totally settled.
No, they are not the final word.
I represent Doomguy and I am here to say
that my client will not stand for this injustice.
When I think about the stuff that I don't like about
where they took Halo, it's all like the feel-related.
Like to be honest, when I first picked up Halo 4,
the way everything felt and sounded
and looked slightly different,
it took me out of it way more than I thought it would.
Like the fact that the mask she looks a little bit different
and all the sounds of the guns weren't familiar,
the outlines of the enemies weren't familiar,
that to me was like,
the reason it felt so different
between Bungie and 343.
And I feel like they're making good effort
to make shit look and feel more like the old games.
Even though the sounds, to me a sound is like a big part of it.
Like the assault rifle still sounds very Halo 4 and 5 to me.
And it just doesn't feel as home as it is used to.
But it's got a feel right.
Yeah, I think we'll find out soon enough.
With the look of Halo 4 and 5,
it was like they were trying too hard to be tactical
with a hint of sci-fi,
but like in my mind,
like aliens is like the aesthetic that they were copying
for like the original Halo,
and like that like, it's just like cool fucking armor.
It's totally sci-fi with a little bit
of tactical, and I think that that return to that look is the way to go.
I'm so happy with how he looks now.
He's so cool looking.
And I love the big 117, that's fucking rad.
Minds me of all the cartoons that they're releasing, Halo Legends, I think.
Do you watch this?
Yeah, they're all the different animation styles.
Yeah, it's not that we're talking about.
Yeah, I'm going to bother to answer your question as if it was going to be anything, but no.
I'm like, no, I haven't seen it.
Seems like that.
It's the reason for me that Master Chief, we get his ass kicked by a doom guy, though.
So that's cool.
I think they agree with you.
Chat is not on your side.
I want to have one for you.
Kaden's in chat.
She does not agree with you.
I saw a Nafam from Kaden.
Yeah.
What's the best thing?
Blaine is very wrong.
No.
This halo game.
You guys fight.
Go ahead.
In my opinion, halo.
Are we talking just single player?
Not multiplayer? What do you see? I would say let's take multiplayer out. You guys fight go ahead in my opinion. Hello. Are we talking just single player not multiplayer OST.
I would say let's let's take multiplayer out. Hello, OST single player.
Reach. I think reach. Yeah, I would put three and reach and OST there up there.
OST for me because reach was so depressing, although I love the gameplay. Reach was beautiful and awesome and amazing.
It was so sad.
Five was my least favorite.
Sorry, Fubber.
I was gonna say personally, I, uh, fuck it.
I don't wanna do it now.
I was gonna make a stupid joke
and I just interrupted you instead.
I was gonna say personally, I love Beyonce's rendition of it,
but maybe because,
I'm sorry, Jesus Christ. I'm the least familiar with it.
Like I remember not being super pleased with Halo 4, but having gone back and played Halo 4 a bunch of times, you know, since Halo 5 has come out,
I like it a lot more now than when I first played it, and I'm not, I'm not sure where that is. And I, I may be like Halo 5 would
grow on me over time as well. It's, it's a weird one.
But, uh, we'll, we'll see here soon. They haven't, they haven't even announced a series
X release date or anything. They just say it's going to be later this year, right? Holiday
2020. So we don't even know, we'll find out probably in November, if I had to guess.
What's he said that these new consoles are gonna have?
Didn't they say the PS5 was gonna have 8K?
Did they?
What?
Did I read that somewhere?
I'm a chance shite.
November 7th this year is a Saturday.
You think they'll release it then?
117?
Also, Saint 453 makes a great point.
Remember, Master Chiefs nickname was the demon,
and what does the Doom guy do?
He kills demons.
Thank you for coming to my dead talk.
Master Chief would absolutely get blasted by Doom guy.
It's no competition.
No.
You're very firm on your point.
I will die on this hill.
Do you feel like Hale is probably the single most influential?
Yes.
Because I was going to say like obviously with Red versus Blue and our Sheaith in general
Haleau has had a huge impact but also with you Gavin and your whole entire life.
I also feel like any franchise you play all the way from the beginning, you're excited
by like I would say there are three still going franchises that I've played
since the very first iteration.
Hale is one of them.
I played all the hitman's, you know, I played Hitman codename 47 when it came out.
And all of GTA, like I played GTA one when that was the newest GTA all the way up
to now. And I feel like all three of those franchises,
I'm always just so excited to get a new one off
because I'm honestly blown away,
they're still making them because it's been so long.
That's like 90s.
Damn.
It's a good franchise.
Just go out.
You have good taste in video games, Gavin.
You pick some good ones.
I mean, imagine all the shitty franchises you started and then you're like, no, that's okay. Gavin you pick you pick some good ones. I mean imagine all the
The shitty franchises you started and then you're like no, that's okay. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna keep playing this one It's a I'll just put it down, but there are some where I only picked them up like midway through the franchise
Like I really like mass effect to but I never I never played mass effect one. I never played Elder Scrolls one through three
I even know the name of the first Elder Scrolls game. just out of scrolls was it cool. I know there was like
Mara wind and it's just called the Elder Scrolls. It might just be called the Elder Scrolls. One of them was Daga for wasn't it?
So I'm gonna ask a Doom guy could survive a fall from space. He was shot from a cannon into Mars. He would win against math. So now
The conversation is done. He would absolutely whenever master Chief. Thank you
The elder scrolls arena
That was it
Yeah, same with fallout never played one or two. It's died at three. Oh, those are great games. Fallout wanted to be so good, dude
Man, I fall out. I just
Slept on it and will continue to be a coma on
Fallout I don't care. It's it's crazy. Oh my god. You're so lucky. You're so lucky
Yeah, yeah, you can play like
four out three game of the year edition for the first time. You can do that. Is it is that good?
You should absolutely do that. It's a great game. Yeah
absolutely, that's a great game. Yeah.
I was such a good person,
just though, I got to play everything.
My first playthrough of that game,
I fucked up and I broke it in a stupid way.
I was so in love with the game,
I didn't want to progress the story.
I wanted to do all the side missions
and explore the world before I got to the main story.
So I left the vault and I started exploring.
And then as part of my exploration,
I ended up at Rivet City, which invalidated like it advanced the story and I missed a bunch of
stuff. Like I never met three dog at the radio station. And like all that stuff was then locked
off because I had jumped ahead in time and gone over there. I was like, fuck, I had to do, on my
second playthrough, I had to go through and experience that.
So it was weird finishing the game,
but not having experienced all of the story missions
because I messed up.
Yeah, interesting.
You should absolutely play that game,
boy, you should absolutely play that game.
No, just kidding.
I'm just trying to reach out to find more
justifications for your bad takes on Doom Giver
and Master Chief.
I see you just glued to it, looking for anybody
to try to back you up.
It's just that I just want to tear them up at how good Doom guy is compared to Master Chief.
I do love Master Chief. I'm not saying that, you know, I hate him.
I'm just saying he just gives us beat by Doom guy.
That's the way it thing. I don't really have any strong connection to Master Chief.
He's not really much of a character and I think that's the point, right?
They want you to like, be him.
Like in Halo one, he doesn't say a ton.
He's just, most of Halo one, he's very confused
and he doesn't really know what he's doing.
No, Master Chief and Doom Guy were made to be empty shells
that the character fit into.
And then they went into different directions.
So Halo four and five, they're like,
this is Master Chiefs Origin.
We wanna hear about how John 117 was a thing.
And then Doomguy continued to be this silent badass
who in my mind is me and I'm Doomguy.
And I wouldn't have been in this Master Chief.
The reality of the truth comes out.
It's true.
Did anybody else watch the...
Did anybody else win it was on there?
Did anybody else watch 30 Rock or am I the only one?
No. I wish it loved it.
I don't know if you saw they had a reunion special last...
I think it was last week, where they had like an hour long episode with everyone.
And I started watching it.
And I loved 30 Rock when it was on the air.
And I started watching their reunion special.
And I was very sad and disappointed
because you're watching it.
And it's like, oh, it's just an hour long commercial
for Peacock, which is NBC's new streaming platform.
Like to the point where Kenneth,
who's one of the characters in 30 Rock, is now like
an executive at NBC in the show. And he's like talking to some of the other characters.
Like, I don't know. He's like, I picked all these shows for a new lineup. And I don't
know if they're any good or not. And the other characters are like, well, why don't you
show us some previews so we can tell you what we think about. He's like, okay, well,
here you go. Let me know what you think. And then the show cuts to a commercial. And
you watch real previews for real shows
that are coming out on their streaming service,
and then it comes back from commercial,
and they're like, oh, those shows look amazing.
You did a great job, Kenneth.
It's like, oh, the level of just like,
I'm watching an hour long ad.
Like it's not even the show I used to like anymore.
Was there at least good stuff between those moments?
I mean, yeah, there were a couple of good moments,
but it was just so heavy-handed.
It was just like, the show's been off the air for so long
that it was good to see the characters again, you know,
and some of the jokes were good,
but it was really just like an hour-long commercial,
punctuated with smaller commercial breaks in the middle,
which was really, really strange to have such a beloved show come back in a format like that.
Did you like the watch community?
I missed it, unfortunately.
That's a great cast.
Also Peter just tied me out on chat.
Oh, really.
I, communities a great show.
There's reminded me of this what you're talking about, Gus.
There's an episode, Trevor and I just watched where essentially the whole episode is about
being susceptible to advertising and not really realizing it.
And the whole show was kind of focused around Honda and like marketing the Honda to these
students and stuff like that.
And I was like, this is genius because the plot of this episode is about advertising.
And so they're able to work in product placement and advertising in such a way that makes sense
to the episode.
So it's not just like random and out there.
It's a very in your face like, yeah, the Honda CRV is great.
It has this and that and this feature.
That's Dan Harmon, right?
Yeah.
You know, he's doing, he is a brilliant, I mean, he and his team are great at advertising
because like the Rick and Morty advertisements,
like you can tell the client comes to them,
and then they're just like, we trust you, do whatever,
and then he does it, and it's always effective, in my opinion.
Like I love them, they're great at advertisements.
Yeah, like the one where they're on the subway
with like the Wendy's breakfast.
Yeah.
There's like a, there's like a, there's like a potato chip one now that's like,
it's funny, I love every time it comes.
That's great.
So you were talking about Fallout.
I want like, Fallout of Psych, because I'm not going to play that.
What are the pieces of content?
Play it, play it, you're full, play it, full out three.
What's the one piece of content?
That's what you've got.
What's the one piece of content?
Like TV, movie, or video game that you would just like I
absolutely have to consume because like for me it would be like something
like true detective like that shit is a game changer. Yeah you're a big
true detective season two fan I know. No. She's one only. She's three fantastic.
Pretty incredible. Yeah.
Oh, I have a thing.
I stopped after two because I didn't like it.
Like Gavin's earlier reaction, you are so lucky, Barbara.
You can go and watch all the season three of True Detective
right now.
It is so fucking good.
Yeah, you should, you should watch that.
If you have nothing else to watch,
you're writing out of someone quarantine, watch that.
It is amazing.
I just binge through search party, which Adam Kovic talked about on the podcast two or three weeks ago.
Uh, we watched the entire series.
Luckily, it's not done.
We found out that they've been confirmed for another season, I think in early 2021.
But if you guys are sleeping on that show, you should definitely go check it out.
It's on HBO Max.
It's fantastic. It's very unexpected. I will. I know. I know. It's a show that I've been meaning to really love
that feedback. I'm trying, Barbara, but you're cutting me off as I'm trying to give you the feedback.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I just have to see now. I remember COVID talk about it and it's definitely on my list. I just have search party. So nothing of it.
It's one of those weird shows where I think it was on TBS first
and I know I saw the ads for it.
And it was like something that I wanted to really watch
and I felt like it disappeared.
But I guess they moved to streaming.
I would you say there's like three seasons now?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I mean, obviously they've been continuing.
It's just one of those things that I feel like I've heard a couple of people talk about
not a ton of people, but it's never registered for me.
Is it still making it?
As she said, they're making a new season.
Okay, okay, sorry, sorry.
Because it's one of those shows where it's like, I feel like if it's such a good show,
it just like it will continue to exist.
And I like that that happens.
Like I think, is it not modern family?
What's the one with Ron Howard does the voiceover?
Arrested development?
Arrested development, yeah.
It's like, even if it gets dropped by its major network,
like people will find a way of making it
because it's just that kind of a show.
It looks like they took a long break with search party.
It looks like I guess this most recent season came out last month,
but before that, the previous season was it,
the previous season started in November of 2017.
So maybe that's why I felt like it had disappeared for a while.
Yeah, they apparently had filmed the fourth season,
or sorry, the third season and then didn't release it until HBO Max, I think, was debuted.
So they were sitting on that season, even though they had filmed it for a long time, which
I can't imagine as a fan of the show who had watched the previous seasons, like waiting
for that being this knowing it was done and not being able to see it.
Who's in it?
Yeah, that's a two and a half year gap that they sat on that.
That's crazy. Yeah. Who's in it? Yeah, that's a two and a half year gap that they sat on that. That's crazy. Yeah
Uh, who's in it? It's that girl from
uh, Alia Shockcat
She's from um, I think it's a rest of development or yeah, she is yeah, yeah
She's I never watched the rest of development. So I'm not 100% familiar with her, but she's great in it. There's she
She was in a movie I watched this past weekend that I also texted
Gavin about. But we are almost out of time here. So I don't want to get into it. Maybe
I'll save it. Maybe I'll see it for for next episode. I would, but we can't go along.
There's the people right after us on our TV. So I guess I want to say thank you to everyone
for watching us and for hanging
out with us. Stay tuned, we always have lots of content on our TV. We got Inside Gaming
Live coming up next. I got really confused because I loaded the schedule and I heard our
conversation from like 45 seconds ago and over. That would be a new challenge. Inside
gaming is coming up next and we'll see you guys next week
Bye, it's master chief bye boy Do you like apples? All right, example.
