I'm Kevin. I'm Andrew. I'm Barbara. Hello. And Gus, the little hands again. In addition to Barbara's little hands, we actually have a special guest joining us today We got issa or is isa, where's she gonna fit? A special guest It's a special. I'm not I'm not Bernie Sorry, no, you're not where's your lower third you should be demanding your title. Oh, yeah It hello guys. I'm isa. I am director and show and refer recorded by our stall. Yay, it's down here.

Hey, it's me. Hell yeah. Yeah. What a queen. A queen is present. We finally showed a little bit of it last week, right on social. Some people got it. Find a got a first little look at it. When was that? When did people first hear about it? It was like earlier this year? Yes, because it was. There is a small clip from some of the early concepts on the Scissor reel for 2020 that Rupertie Thrillist. And that was like the first.

That feels like that was like five years ago. Oh, yeah. The every month is a presidential year at this point. That's true. What is time anymore? Yeah. Welcome. Speaking of time, people only have to wait a couple more weeks to see it. It's coming out July 13th. Yeah, for your first members, the week after will be for public and YouTube.

So stick around for that. Is it going to be on the RT animation YouTube? Yes, RT animation YouTube, also on Rupert Heath as well. Fun fact, the episodes are short enough that sometimes I think about like, why don't we just upload the episode on Twitter and the people watching? Yeah, and there's a lot of places doing stuff like that nowadays, like uploading complete content on social media. Yeah, you can upload it on TikTok and they'll steal your clipboard.

And that's what they do. They nick your clipboard. Yeah, they're looking at your clipboard. They're snooping at your clipboard all the time. Well, you got in your clipboard, I guess. Butts. What a great answer. Yeah.

So, wait, pictures of butts or just the word butts. Just typed out in quenches. Listen. It really depends on the time of day. Yeah, like an evening clipboard is different to a morning clipboard. Yeah, of course. That's it. I like that.

So, um, I, I, I, I, I, I want to make a confession here. I keep wanting to say, as real, instead of aerosol. That's so good. Like every time, every time I'm like, nope, nope, I'm saying it wrong. And I, I think we were in a meeting the other day. There was like a company wide meeting. And I think one person said that. I was like, oh, yikes. Call up post. It was Torian. Then the new showrunner for the new season of our movie. So that, that's hilarious. Exposed. On blast. On blast.

My co-developer, I corriter, Josh, we mentioned since it went through a couple of different names if only because fun fact, the there is a company who also owns the original title or the trademark for it. So we had to come up with a new name. And one of the things Josh mentioned was if we commit to recorded by RSOL, we have to commit to people saying the name wrong. And I'm like, all right, let's go. I can get behind that. It's a person who's worked on Ruby. I'm sure you're used to it. I know so many people. What's real wonby?

I know so many people who pronounce it are WBY. And I'm like, yeah, that's, it's fine. It's totally okay. Just remember everyone, as real as a demon. And our assault, yes. So it's also a demon. I know all too well. You're cold staring to the lens. Unnerved me. So have you have you all mentioned what the show is about or what's going on with it or what the story is?

Yeah. I've been working with marketing and they actually did really good. One sentence bit. So the premise of recorded by RISOL, this is a prelude to a story. It's a four part series of very short vlogs, where RISOL is a high school student who is doing this extra credit assignment about whether or not the life that she's signing up for is the life that she really wants.

So, kind of classic, what's the word, classic existential crisis pre-college is how I would make the equivalent for it. Is, uh, Arizona taking a gap year, gonna find herself back back through Europe? Oh, yeah, exactly. She's going to learn about all these people. Go through Asia as well. I love that though, because it's such a relatable situation to be that age and trying to figure out, like, what the hell am I supposed to be doing? Or is this direction I'm going in?

Like, am I going to be happy doing that? And I feel like there's so much pressure on people that age to figure out their entire life. Yeah. Right then. Absolutely. There's a. I thought of something and then I forgot it. So you know what, let's let's. I think we got distracted by the beautiful shot of just you and me on. Oh yeah, you know what else? This is all thanks by the man. I want this. I want Esa's box next week. Can I get that? Can I be just like, King Gus? I mean, you already host separate from like participants

in the credits, the way that we as cost, but you're the host. Oh, I don't even know. Yeah, sure. That's me. It's like host and then like featuring blah, blah, blah, blah, I think in the credits. Yeah. I didn't write them.

I didn't come up with them. And then like numerous like executive producer credits for people who are like long got people who've never existed. Yeah. Set design credits for a set. We haven't sat on it three. There's still pictures of it in the credits.

It's in the intro. And if you're in the intro set. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. We're going to eventually use it again. I'll be next year It's gonna be like coming back to like a post apocalyptic world where everything has like vines growing on it Yeah, I wanted to look like the last of us. I want that to be Growing up through the couch. Oh please, please. Yeah, it's gonna be Jumanji in stage five. That's just

and stage five. That's just. We had bats in there once years ago when we moved in. I remember that story. It's a classic like, oh, yeah, remember that time. Yeah, it was a terrible idea to try to handle it ourselves and not call animal control. I remember being very. Which we eventually did. I was so confused because everyone was like freaking out. I was like, it's a bat. I then I found out that there's rabies in the US still and there's not been eradicated. I was like Shit, you get rabies here. You can eradicate it. They don't have rabies in the UK

No, not since like the 20s or something. How do you be ready? Now is the 20s not since the last 20s? Are you sure we're not confusing that with polio Sounds a little bit more rational. I thought we existed everywhere. It exists, but there's strict quarantine rules between, I mean Australia is some of the strictest animal quarantine because of rabies and stuff. But how do you quarantine? Wild animals, how do you quarantine a bat? Also, don't you not know if you necessarily got like rabies like until it starts showing effects of it that's too late?

Yeah, if you show a symptom of rabies, you are done full. Yeah, like the closest thing to a zombie thing, zombie condition. And those like rabies, like the rabiesies vaccines like if you suspected of getting bit by something that has rabies the like like series of shots you have to get are no joke whatsoever. It's like 12 shots and they're like fucking enormous my sister. My sister had to have a round of rabie shots because she at summer camps she stayed in this cabin that, when they turned the lights off at night, they would hear things flying around the cabin, like, inside.

And then, of course, they discovered that there were bats living in the roof of this cabin, which, like, later, a girl found one in her shoe, a bat in her shoe. And so, like, they had to play it, say, to get safe and get all 12 girls that were staying in this cabin a round of rabies, vaccinations, just to be sure. And I think because it was a cabin of 12 girls, they used all the rabies' rounds vaccines in the state of Texas. Oh my God.

To make sure that this cabin of girls was covered, then later, after that summer, they demolished the cabin and living in the roof of this, like, you know, summer camp cabin, we're like 50,000. Jesus. Yeah, it was a huge colony, like living inside this and the roof of this cabin is absolutely. That's nightmare. I like how I like how in gross diesel wasn't that story. I'm taking notes guys for my right? What you know, right? I'm reading it. Apparently, apparently, it was 1902. So not the 20s.

Oh, even earlier than he thought. It flipped it. But you know, it's a smaller island. It's a lot easier to keep rabies lower. Also, we're dumb here. So mean you see what we're doing in this country. You see one doesn't even have COVID. I know. Oh, didn't they didn't they have new cases just because people

are there like a few guys man. Yeah, people. People. Yeah, when it come from like people coming in with it. Yeah, people came people with a possible COVID came in and then I think the cases went back to like more, more than zero.

That's so whoops. It starts though. Cases went to that greater than symbol zero. Well, we. So we don't, we can't keep Easter too long because I know you're recording something else at 530. Watch I have notes, yes. Yeah, you want to plug that? Oh yes, watch I have notes, guys. I'm about to record it right now. What is I have notes?

I have notes is a podcast where surprisingly, sorry, I'm mixing up my pitch words. People with surprisingly long IMDDB pages talk about animation creative industry and something else that we always think about the last funny bit. I'm not great about scripts everyone. Well, I have a note for you. Oh, thank you. I love my favorite thing is the way you guys announced the show was Carrie doing that thing where he's just like, hey guys, yeah, we got a new show called I have notes and it's like super low energy and I was like, this is weird. And then it just like you guys kept following it up with responses of like, hey, Carrie, it was great.

But like now I think you should add this and do this next time and just kept evolving to make the announcement video better and better. Yeah, because I was so confused. I was like, man, Carrie put a little effort into it. next time and just kept evolving to make the announcement video better better. Yeah. Because I was so confused. I was like, man, carry put a little effort into it. It's all part of the bit. You got to build it up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Um, so do we have a, Eric is telling me we have a clip for recorded by a result? Yes, we do. So so far, I think people haven't seen an actual clip product. It was just like a gift and some images posted. Yes. Uh, but this is a little sneak peek just like a gift and some images posted. Yes. But this is a little sneak peek. We actually get to introduce the characters.

So I hope you guys like it. And I hope you guys fall in love with her so you can watch the show, please. Let's roll that beautiful bean footage. Love it. Hello. My name is Arsal. I am 16 years old.

And I am a senior at Academy 14 District 4. I live with my teetha, teetho, and cousin. My favorite food is apple peach pie. What else? Oh, this is an extra credit assignment, a formal application to be a record keeper, if you will. They gave us some prompts to get us started. So, the first one, what is a record keeper to you? Is apple peach pie a real thing thing and where can I get one? So fun fact, I based that off of Peach Mango Pie and I'm pretty sure Apple Peach Pies are real thing.

If you are really still, yes. I'm taking that note guess. We should, we should, like for community engagement, we should have people make apple, apple peach pies and then like, send us pictures of them. Oh, that's so cute. And then send them for us to eat. Yes, they're the male.

Yeah, that's a, that's a good excuse for everyone, because then it's like a little fun community activity and you get pie out of it. Right. So everyone sent us your pies by July 13. So we can get them before before send us your pies. I was all comes out. We'll do a taste test and then we'll rank them all the pies.

Yeah, they'll just have to take our word for it. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks a bunch for joining us. You said I know you got to run. You got the other thing to record. But thanks for coming on. We look forward to watching the word for it. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks so much for joining us, so I know you got to run. You got to think of the thing to record. But thanks for coming on. We look forward to watching the show when it comes out.

But then who do we put in your old box? No one to sleep at home. Also guys. I know. I know. There's two me at the intro. We should put you, but like 10 seconds back, like a time delayed, Gus.

Yeah, I'm going to it. Time shifted. I can't. Confusing at all. I can't stop looking at those fish behind you, Andrew. Yeah, what is it? There you go. That looks nice.

That's Andrew's fish tank. Have you ever heard him talk about, he's really passionate about fish. Have you ever heard of anything he's tested? I think last time we just talked about bees. That's right. I'm about fish. Have you ever been? I think last time we just talked about bees. That's right. That's not fish. Oh, a guy said, Marco, the other day got stung 300 times by bees. I don't know if you'll read that story. After that, I was reading about bees.

I was like, I want to learn more about bees. And I was reading about Africanized bees. And then I got into some dark YouTube holes about how you euthanize your B colony gruesome stuff Oh, I like just pouring soapy water on them like degreaser and soapy water It just it just causes like the Surface tension of water to be tiny and it seeps into the bees and they'll immediately drown Yeah, there's like so there's a couple of instances of like

Yeah, there's like, so there's a couple of instances of like, diseases that bees can get. And if they do become like Africanized, or they're like taken over by invasive species and bacteria and stuff that can spread, they can spread colony collapse to other like colonies, you're supposed to like wait till it's night when the bees that come home and like are in their thing and then like plug up the entrance

and like light it on fire. Like there's like, it's messed up. But like it's one of those things where it's just like, well, you have to do it or they'll spread like a disease that like ruins vast amounts of, like a bee colony. Yeah, I was, I was, I was watching a guy had like 12 hives

and he was like, look, I can just tend to this hive in like a t-shirt and jeans and then he slowly worked his way closer to the the bad one and all the bees came out and he was like swarmed by like a thousand bees and he had to get in the full Beavale and they were just like trying to sting his face through the thing and he was like I have to kill all these bees And I was like shit. I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah, but it's a missed opportunity not calling And I was like, shit, I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah. It's a missed opportunity not calling me diseases. Beesys.

But it's right there. No, yeah, it's pretty messed up. It's just amazing how the temperament of different high, like the temperament of just a group of bees varies from high to high. It's like the high that I used to have. They were pretty chill, like started working with them in a full like these suit and everything.

And some of the time they were like, you could probably walk down there and work with them, like yeah, and like shorts and a t-shirt and they would not have bothered you at all. And then sometimes when you're working with them, they're like really aggressive and we'll just like follow you around the yard, like going for your face through the screen.

And it just like really, it really depends. And that all has to do with how the queen is feeling. Like if she is aggravated, the whole hive is instantly, like triggered by triggered by pheromones. It's wild stuff. Every time I come on, we're just going to talk about these weapons, but these get Americanized. They get really bad health care. I was trying to right before you start talking about bees. I was trying to get my own fish Tango up here, but I guess the it wasn't working very well with my camera. So instead I'm just gonna show this. Oh, baby Yoda. Why not? It's on that property. It looks intellectual.

My friend. I forgot that most of you were, I think Gus and Eric were the only other people here on that podcast where I wasn't allowed to show baby Yoda and I tried everything I could do to show baby Yoda on screen. And now I just got it made happen. And now you're showing baby Yoda. His his guard is down. He's a week. I'll made it happen and now you're showing baby Yoda his his guard is down. He's a week

What's that? That guy in San Marcos who got stung by like 300 bees or whatever the other day He said that you know They hit he had fallen to the ground and they were all over him Stinging him in the face and that they were trying to get into his mouth and that he was like I can't imagine anything worse than being covered in bees with them trying to get into your mouth to sting you. I think it's it's it's often been discussed, but I'm pretty sure like all bugs are trying to get in your mouth, right? Like that's where they're trying it. Why? We don't know. They have a death drive that to go straight for the crawl.

It's very much like being a woman. Thanks just trying to get into your mouth. She's sorry. I think she's trying to get into your mouth. Sorry. It's always great when you have to explain the joke. No, no, no. No, tell us to explain the punchline to us in great detail, please. Well, oftentimes when a man, the woman, no, anybody loves anybody who has a mouth and orfaces and different body What should episode of the Mandalorian turn the volume up. I haven't seen

Oh What are you doing to me? What's in like that statement? We can't show that stuff on our show Just get just get ATN to be to buy it. Oh, we have to do is make commentary about it right then it's like I don't think that's how that works. I'm gonna draw Mickey Mouse. Hold on, what's that? That's not what's that. Don't draw Mickey Mouse.

Guys, should we all, like, just to, you know, I'm gonna pass it. She will sing a very popular song together. This is the word, bring Eesa. Where's Eesa? Bring back Eesa. She was too nice, it brought out the evil in us. The, the, the, the temperament of our hive has burned.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna draw Mickey Mouse to the tune of Hey Jude. So get ready for it. So what can we show Eric? We can show ourselves. That's what we do for five six hundred three episodes. Our own our own stuff like the cartoon we showed a little bit ago. I don't know if you're paying attention to that. That was a whole thing that we did at the beginning of the show. We could show

that stuff, but we can't show the stuff that the mouse owns. That's not we don't own that. The mouse. You can say Disney. They're going to hear you. It's going to be a Beatles juice situation. No, just for every, for every time we say Disney we have to say HBO HBO Max You did it you said the thing as long as it balances out. Oh speaking of things to mention Uh, I feel like we should mention that we're having a site-wide summer sale other received stores So it's 20% off all this week It's officially summer it's officially summer. Oh, then people can buy merchandise

and then do what you did, Barbara. You made that tie dye thing out of it, right? I did. Yeah. So if you're if you're feeling it, it's a it's a pretty cool way to like change up existing stuff that you have or like old shirts or whatever it is. But over the weekend,

Trevor and I did some bleach tie dye to some some of our clothes. And I chose some Ruchu teeth merch. This is like an always open shirt I did some bleach tide. I did some some of our clothes and I chose some Ruchu teeth merch. This is like an always open shirt I did here. That's looking boss. It looks like clouds and like it literally takes no skill whatsoever. I literally just scrunched. Well, you just scrunched up and I put rubber bands around it in various places.

And then I like chose sections to cover it in plaition and just let it soak in and everything turns out super unique and super different. This is from my my woman's day shirt Phoenix. So I got that one and then yeah, a couple other ones that are in the other room but the sweater too is one of them. Can you tie dye that cap? Probably it. Don't tie dye your cap. Be very careful if you're using bleach. We use like a half water, half bleach mixture, but definitely wear gloves and be very careful

when you're like rinsing it out that you don't splash on yourself and whatnot. Unless this you aina. Well, don't. Okay. I don't think you should do that either Yeah, but not themselves You should probably get a professional self. I don't think that you literally just take bleach from a bottle and like stick in your ass It's bleach still difficult to find Is that back? I?

Was able to I bought a bunch of stuff on Amazon and I got the bleach off Amazon, which is a weird place to block my bleach But I's able to. All right. It's just weird, the stuff that disappears or the stuff that becomes in high demand. Oh, I was talking to Gavin about this the other day actually. We've been playing a lot of factorial and I read an article that made me think about factorial. You know, there was earlier this year, it was very difficult to find toilet paper and

people were hoarding it. And I read an article, I think someone tweeted me an article that talked about the toilet paper shortage. They said, yeah, people buying it and hoarding it was one aspect of that problem, but there was another aspect of that problem, which was people were spending more time at home using more toilet paper at home and they weren't going out at businesses or at their office. That, apparently, the production lines for business-used toilet toilet paper and home used toilet paper share almost no overlap. So yeah, it was like one piece of the production pipeline was being used at maximum percentage and then

the other pipeline had no usage at all. Just dormant toilet paper. No way to go around the world. Production over. It was like this whole, so there was like, it was this compounding problem. And I never thought about that. It's like, yeah, I'm not going to the bathroom at the office anymore. I'm not out at stores and restaurants. Like I'm using my home toilet 100% of the time now. I guess you could say the business toilet paper needs to apply their wares elsewhere. That's it.

We're wrapping up early tonight. That's, mean, that's a thank you and good night. Just take your headphones off close your lap. That's it. It's also I know some of you have dabbled in TikTok and you obviously know that I use it and heard me talk about it. We should probably discuss Gus. I don't know if he saw the link that someone linked us to about TikTok and the app in general. But it's crazy to me because whenever something gets big

on TikTok, like someone is talking about a certain product or like there's some sort of trend or whatever, it affects things so much. Like there is something on Netflix. I don't want to tell you what it is, but there is a movie on Netflix available for anybody with that app to watch, where the trend is, is you're supposed to watch the opening scene of that movie and

film your reaction to it. And I wanted to do it to Trevor. So I went to Netflix and I went like search, and the top search was that movie. And it's like some random indie film that literally nobody would be. So it's because everyone's, it's like trending on Netflix then basically. Yeah, exactly. And she's like any product I ever see people talk about, it's like always sold out. Always like to talk, copied your, your history and shared it with Netflix. And that's how it knew you were going to look for it.

Yeah, exactly. Have you noticed anything about this last week, Gus? This last week. Um, have you noticed anything about our communication? It's been a lot less. Yeah, let me be honest with you guys. I haven't played Factorio since the last podcast. I don't think I have either.

I've started playing the last of us two and like any time I have gaming time, I'm dedicating to the last of us two now. Are you just don't with Factorio or is anything else taking your time? I started playing the last of us too. And like any time I have gaming time, I'm dedicating to the last of us too now. Are you just don't with factorial? Or is something else taking your time? I think I just hit a wall where I was like, I've been playing this too much. Like I started the rocket pad thing

and then you start to like build the rocket and I did all this shit and I was like, okay, let's get this rocket done. And then I finished like one thing and it was like 1% complete. I was like, and I just was like, I'm going to go ahead and save here and quit and I haven't let it out since it takes a long time. It's a lot to get done. Yeah, I'm going to get back to it once I finish. Last of us two.

Like I'm sure between last of us two and cyberpunk 2077, I'll have several weeks to kill. So I'll just feel it was factorial. Barbara, you bought it, you buy it? Factorial, I did. I was about to get really upset because I was like, oh, I'm planning to get into it this week and I can't wait to talk to my friends about this game that they are also playing. And I find out that neither of you guys are doing it.

Okay, I'll get back into it. What is this game? Okay, let me tell you about factorial. Andrew, you have opened a can gather around children. The basic premise is that you're one person on an alien planet and you're stranded. And you have to gather resources and research technology so that you can build a spaceship and leave the planet. So basically you start out with nothing. It's like you have to mine coal to fuel mining machines together or to then make metal and then create more parts.

And it's like this huge research science tree and that you just go through making stuff. So ultimately you make factories to automate as much of it as you can. And that's just it. You make factories and you defend it from local alien wildlife. Whoa, it's grind the game. Yes, it's just not that's like a hundred percent grind.

Yeah, it's like find the bottleneck. Fix the bottleneck cause a new bottleneck. Fix the bottleneck the game. Yeah. Wow, you get to meet like a like a one person like industry, like just making all this, like trying to, oh, Gavin, what happened? I have a light that just can't stay on for more than like 20 minutes at a time.

It's okay, you could just be email Gavin. So you said it's, it's grind to the game, but it's all about automating the grind. It's like, oh, this sucks. I wish I had a machine or robot that could do it. And then you make the machine or robot that does it. You're like, I don't have to do that anymore. I'm going to do something else.

Boy, I wish I had a machine or a robot that could do this. It's essentially gust the game. I just, it's so up is alley. I love, I love the idea too of like working so hard and automating all this factories to get you to build your spaceship that takes you off the planet to get you back home where it's essentially the same thing. Like you just built some where else.

It's so similar to the actual planet where it's just like you just take the planet that you're on. Just dig up a bunch of shit, change that shit into other shit, change that shit into different shit and eventually fly away from it. Yeah. And you pull that stuff out of your planet. I'm destroyed. It's a lot of ruin the place.

Disaster. I mean, you're like, all right, I'm out of here. Yeah, that's pretty lot of ruin the play. disaster. I mean, you're like, all right, I'm out of here. Yeah, that's pretty much always done here. Shadow at noon and chat said, Factorio is stressful Minecraft. That true. No, I wouldn't compare it to well. I mean, on the surface, I could see people comparing it to Minecraft, but I think it's very different. Yeah, and I know people always recommend satisfactory, but I'm just, I don't, I'm a factorial purist, I guess. I was gonna say I've decided I've been saving a game.

I've been, I've been not playing a game the entire time it's been out that I know is good and I'm finally gonna play it. What is it? Fall out in New Vegas. Oh, I've deliberately just been like, I'm gonna keep this for. What is it? For that new Vegas. Oh. I've deliberately just been like, I'm gonna keep this for a rainy day. And the last four months have been pretty rainy.

Not weather-wise, just sort of a general. And I'm gonna finally, what's up? I'm gonna find out. Have you never played it? I played like the first couple of hours. I went to a, I went to Prim once. That was about, I was like, the first place and then go to Prim. The other day was the date, the birth date of one of the fictional characters from Fallout

New Vegas. And I saw that like someone posted that on Reddit and I was like, oh, maybe I should reinstall New Vegas. Start playing it again. I was like, no, no, stop. There's new games to play. I don't need to keep going back and playing replaying old games. I was going to play last of us too, but it's a bit sad.

Yeah, it's, I saw you played a little bit the other day. You sent me a real nice message. I played, yeah, I played the, for the first time, I played all the way through the last of us one. And then immediately played the DLC and then went straight into last was two. So it feels super familiar. Like last of us two feels exactly like last of us one in terms of the controls. So I was happy about that. But I'm going to take that game a bit slower. Yeah.

I don't want you to want the sads right now. No, I saw the guys online and I was like, can you send messages on a PS4? And I just wrote bitch and said, yeah, sounds about right. I was so confused, I was, I never get messages like, oh, I got a message from Gavin. I was like, oh.

Oh. What did you expect though? You can say, hello Gus, how are you? I see that you're online. Hope you have a good ice weekend. I thought we were gonna talk about factorial or something. But yeah. This episode of the Steve Podcast is brought to you by DoorDash.

Now that some of our series are going on break in box, we announced this week, we're taking it off until we could get back in the studio because it is a very interactive show. We like being able to open packages and do different things together. So in the meantime, we're going to be trying some gameplay stuff.

And guess we've been playing a couple of games together recently. We did a raft a few times. That game is so good. It's so overwhelming at first, and then it becomes so fun. Yeah, it's a, I have a lot of fun when we play that game, especially being the first mate on the raft. I'm the first mate. I'm the first mate. You get to yell at people when they drink the water and don't refill it. You get to yell at people when they eat the fish and don't put another one on. It's a lot of yelling. Yeah, it's a good it's a good game, but yeah, you ride the first time we played I was like I had no idea what was going on

Then you play for a little bit and then you just like really get into the rhythm and get into that exact Feedback loop of the game and it's really satisfying Get me played before right? No, I've never played it. Oh really I know you guys have done Raffed with a cheap 100, but maybe you weren't one of the people playing it. Yeah, I'm just not in that. Yeah, a lot of the time if you missed the first episode, it's a lot easier just to keep the same crew. Otherwise, people are catching up halfway through. That's less enjoying to watch in my opinion.

Andrew, I feel like you would like raft. I've never played. I, uh, and I don't know about it. So, but I would love to play. You basically start off on some planks of wood and you're supposed to like collect parts and items that you see floating in the water to be able to craft other things and essentially you're trying not to die of thirst or hunger or getting eaten by a shark that somehow keeps showing up. It's very fun. Oh wait, what is this?

What is this on? PC. It's on PC. What is this? What is this on? PC. It's on PC. Where have I seen? I saw a game on PS4 that was a lot like this. It was a lot like that factorial game that you're talking about. But it's basically you start on the island. You wash up on the island and you like piece to get, what was that game? I almost downloaded it because it looked really cool.

It's like you start on the island. The beginning of the game is you're washing up on an island, and then it's you collecting stuff that washes up on the shore from like, from like, I guess, your playing crashes or something. And so you like, you can like venture out and like go get luggage and stuff that's like still in the water, bring it back to like.

It's so very familiar. To like, lost the video game. You're just gonna lost. And then you have to go in this. Or cast away. Go into this hatch and keep pressing in these numbers or something happens. We're not really sure.

And then you skip three seasons and just watch the last season and it's really unsatisfying. Yeah, they're in a church, but it's got like that like co-exist bumper sticker on the wall that has all the religions. Yeah. Is that the bad right? That's not right.

Yeah, that game. Uh, no, I like stuff like that. I like kind of like, you know, uh, crafting survival type type games like that that that takes some kind of like, uh, ingenuity. Yeah, I like the subnautica for the same reasons. Some illogical and chat are saying the forest. Is that what it was called?

Ooh, that might be a lot of people saying the forest. It might be the forest. Yeah, it might be the forest. Forest or green hell are the two things I'm seeing in chat. I could always count on chat to answer a question of something like we're discussing. We're like, what's the name of that thing? Or like, what was that thing that happened? We'll, we'll, and like instantly chats got our back.

Thank you guys. I wanted to go back to something you had mentioned earlier. You know, you're talking about TikTok and all that news came out about TikTok. Yeah. Spying on your clipboard contents of your phone every so often. And essentially just malware.

And then they just say, like, oops, our bad will stop doing that. Like, are, okay, that's it. Every single, every single one of these giant companies will do everything they can up until, like, you, you raise a stink about it. Like, they'll take it right up to the line of, you know, acceptability. And then it's like, oh, I gotta go into like some sub menu and like click a toggle off to make sure that like- The worst is when you have to call someone. Oh, I don't know if anybody else remembers this, but there was a point back, I think it was in the late 90s

where Sony music got in trouble because if you had bought bought CDs that they were publishing and you wanted to play an audio CD in your computer, like if you put the CD in your computer, it would automatically install malware onto your computer that left people's computers open to being hacked. And it was just like, nothing you could do about it, I just wanted to play an audio CD and now my computer is infected with malware because of it. And then you wonder why services like at the time Napster and other file sharing services were taking off because you buy a fucking music CD legitimately and you end up with shit on your computer you didn't want.

Just because you want to listen to the secret life of Chris Gaines. Right. Who ever was in $1999. I don't know. Well, you guys remember how I don't know if we, I'm sure talked about it, like the new iPhone, how you have all that you too, like the entire album on your phone when you got the new iPhone.

You guys remember that? That was like 10 years ago now, right? God. Oh, no, no, that must have been. That was with like the late. Was it? Yeah, like I want to say it was like 2016. No, it was eight years ago.

The YouTube album? Yeah, that was like a decade ago, isn't it? That's a release especially. No, I was definitely working at Ristur T. It was September 2014. So it was almost six years ago. Oh, that is. That is.

God, that is a cold mirror you just showed to me. Oh my God. 20 Jesus. That's the album chased me for a while. Like Delia a few times and it was just re-sync back on. It probably lost it a couple of years before I finally shifted the thing. Yeah.

Also, Andrew was the game called Stranded Deep. It's called Stranded Deep. There you go. Let's see. I, I, I game called Stranded Deep. It's called Stranded Deep. There you go. Let's see. Everyone's in chats like it's time to date, but it's time to do it. It's funny because I just looked up, I looked up really quick, Googled the forest. I was like, no, it's not that game. There was like, it was more of an island type thing.

And then, yeah, another, another search, yeah, pull it up, pull it up, stranded deep. Yeah. I haven't played it, but it looked cool. I watched the trailer for it. I was like, that seems up my alley. I like that I like that premise. I don't know maybe So people are just got to you know in chat that your aquariums a TV. I saw a few people We're we're amazed to realize that it's just a TV. Oh shit. Yeah, I want to really But aquarium

No, that's yeah, that's a That's a that's a screen saver right there It looks good though. It's like it reminds me when people put up the fireplace on like there's like a Netflix movie That's just the fireplace for a few hours. I used to go to parties or like Christmas dinners for people It's good stuff put on a little like You like Vince Garaldi and a little like fireplace You know Netflix and yeah, you got Christmas time instant Christmas time Lorna air conditioner I feel like the screen the screen saver industry is really

Just tanked in the last like the last few releases of windows that there's been nothing good for screen savers the last few releases of Windows, there's been nothing good for screen savers, just because the screen just turned off now. But that was some really class, like good looking, fish related screen savers back. I remember back when I was in, oh God, forever ago, back when I was in high school, you could buy screen savers.

There was a company that made screen saver software for Max. And it was called AfterDark. And it was like, their whole thing was flying toasters. It was just flying toasters. If you wanted to have flying toasters as a screensaver, you had to pay like 30 bucks to buy AfterDark. And it's like, then you could have flying toasters

as a screensaver. It's like such a weird thing. I can't imagine nowadays a company coming up and be like, yeah, I mean, there's built in screensavers to your computer, but it could pay $30 for them. Okay. Oh, why do we even have them? Like, obviously it's more energy efficient

just to turn the screen off. What was the point of it? It's gonna make any sense to me now. I think it's just like, if you had it on, it's kind of like one of those ways you could have some type of personalized or like, this is me type thing, like some identity with your stuff. I think also it was probably a vestige of back when like computers and monitors were

one unit where there wasn't like a separate monitor that you could turn off. So it was like, oh, to turn off my monitor means I'm turning off my whole computer. And so I don't want to do that. I just don't want to have my computer on, but I can't leave it on and have this screen running at the same time because of the burn in. So we'll just invent something that like prevents that from happening. I imagine that's why they, it's a message from when monitors and computers were all part of the same package.

I remember being a big fan of the 3D maze, which I think came with Windows 98. That was my favorite screen. That was a good one. Hell yeah. It was trippy. That was the good stuff. Playing ski free and having that Yeti eat ya. ski free was terrifying.

That thing holds us, man. It really, that's a fast ass Yeti each year. The secret was terrifying. That thing holds us, man. It really, that's a fast ass Yeti. I wonder what the world record is for ski free. I was big on the ski free and chips challenge. They are my go-to's. You ever played chips challenge? Never played chips challenge. But that's how familiar.

I see, ski free speed runs. I'm sure it isn't thing for it? Looking the fastest in game time is 29.4 seconds. I remember that if you jump and hit your crotch on a tree sometimes the tree would catch on fire Just like in real life Just your like just your cross. It's like jump and your skis would be like, and you could just crash into a tree.

I assume a big friction incident happened. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Thanks, thanks. You Gavin. Ski free speed run. Watch that tonight. Oh man, you're way down on my list now. We haven't texted in a while.

There you are. No. I'm probably higher up on your PSN list. You are. I'm curious to see how far down you guys are in my text message now to see like how many people I've messaged since you. Chips challenges on steam. Oh, you shitting me. Sorry, someone in the chat just go me excited. This episode of the receive podcast is brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Gavin, I was gonna mention animal crossing because I saw people bring it up ask if I was still playing. Yes, I am still playing. And Gus, you and John are gonna come see my island next Tuesday. Mm-hmm. I think. But I was playing the other week

and something that happens in animal crossing is if a villager is moving out, you get a new one and it's potential that you might get a villager from someone else's island. And I wake up and they're like, oh, you have a new villager is moved in today. Her name's Renee and I was like, oh, great, I can't wait to see who it is. I walk in and it's the ugliest mother fucking

villager I've ever seen. It's like this weird Rhino thing with like a mother and like It's so weird looking and I go up to introduce myself and It's from it's from fucking Gavin's island So I got Gavin's crappy old villager Looks like a pink rhino in a schoolgirls outfit. Yeah, she showed up, but I was just like, oh, so when she focused very well.

When she eventually threatened to leave us, like on your bike then, see you later. She just showed up at your island. Yeah, I don't know if that's easier to say, but yeah, it's like, oh, it's my name's Renee just from Jeb Peace, which is the name of Captain Simon. I was like, Jeb, motherfucker. How dare you palm off this ugly villager on me?

Oh, yep. Shit. 49 cents, by the way. Nice. What a deal. Yeah, I got a new villager the other day. And I don't know whose island is from. Since we visit islands, you know, normally with on the stream with John. And so it's like I just got some random villager from someone else's island.

I have no idea where they came from. It's a purple squirrel named static. Oh, cool. Oh, yeah. And you're going to start playing Animal Crossing. You know, it's funny. I even have a switch, but I don't, I don't know. I have, gosh, it's waste to get people like that for a switch.

I know, my switch is actually propping up an uneven table app over here. It's really. That's what I'm using mine for. Yeah, exactly. No, yeah, I do. It's one of those things where like, I know everyone loves it. Yeah, exactly. No, yeah, I do. It's one of those things where like, I know everyone loves it, and I know like, I mean, almost everyone at work is playing it,

and everyone's like really invested in it, and that's the problem. It's like, I just know, I know that like, there's a little walk in there, I don't know why. I know that when I like get into it, it's gonna like suck me in, and it's gonna become like, why don't you won that though? Why are you denying yourself joy? Yeah, I don't know. I'll get into it. I will get into it eventually.

But yeah, just haven't yet, haven't pulled the trigger. Well, you're about to, if you get on it really soon this week, you're about to enter the game. All the summer updates now. July 3rd Friday. Yeah. You know, you can swim and you can go diving off the island. Yeah. And I think there's another update coming in early August too. Another summer. Yeah, time to swim from the beaches or you can swim in your rivers and stuff. I think they only showed the beaches in the trailer. They only showed the beaches. I don't know if that means you could only do the beaches. I imagine so though, could you pick up like sea creatures and stuff like that?

I, uh, I had a non-animal crossing use. I, uh, I had a very, well, I had a stupid experience a little earlier today. What were you talking to Chris about? I was scrolling through Reddit and you know there's ads, Reddit ads, and normally... None of them. I'm not interested in any of them. But there was one, and I was like, oh, that seems interesting. I want to click on that. I'm going to click on this ad because I want to learn about this product, and I'll support this website that I use all the time.

So I click on the ad to learn more about this product, and the link doesn't work. It just takes me to a Safari or whatever. Your browser cannot find the server. I was like, Ew. Great. Like it has one job. It just, it just, it shows me ads. I finally click on one and the one time you fall for the advertising. I didn't fall for it. I was like, I read it. I was like, that's something I want to learn more about. I would like to see what this is. I just like, I picture like whatever like, like you know in the like factory where that ad was

like produced is just like some guy just like. And it's like. Oh, we got one. Someone clicked. Hold on. Oh, fuck. Didn't get him in time. I didn't get him in time. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Just like a feather like sleeping with like a feather going like a map. Oh my god, so we actually clicked.

Sort of a bitch. Oh, quick. Turn the website on. Turn the website on. The screen, the screen saver was on. No. Just fish. But yeah, this update is coming at the best time too,

because it's a company holiday for us at least. And probably a lot of people, I guess, in the US because the 4th of July you would get off usually, but because it's on a weekend, you usually get the day before, day after off, right? That's how it works. Which is also crazy to think that this weekend would have been RTX. Yeah, the original day. Shit, man.

Yeah. Crazy. That's crazy. So are we going to go hang out at the convention center? I'll see you guys there. Sweet, yeah, that's what I want to be doing right now. No, wait, they're converting it to extra hospital capacity. I forgot.

That's the one. Yeah, because of the whole. Yeah. The graph going up here, but everywhere else is going down. So I You know, we've we've talked a lot about Coronavirus and COVID obviously over the past several months because we've been stuck at home, but I don't think we've I don't think any of us have ever actually shared any direct personal first-hand experience with the virus.

Do you all know anybody who's like yourselves who have been infected or have caught coronavirus? A friend of mine. She highlights suspects that she had it very pretty early on and recovered, but it was like it was bad. It was bad news. It was bad news. That is. I have an aunt who was admitted to the hospital back in early February, maybe late January, early February, and at the time they said that she had the flu and she ended up in ICU

on a ventilator and they said it was like 50-50 whether or not she was going to pull through and she ended up living. But now in hindsight, in retrospect, she hasn't gotten an antibody test, but it sounds like to me like she probably had coronavirus at the time. And then here more recently, I have another aunt who lives in a pretty big city here in Texas who had it, but she had no symptoms. Like none at all. She only got tested because someone else in her house was got sick and tested positive, so they tested everyone in the house and they were like, oh, you also have it. So she had to self quarantine for several weeks just to make sure that she wouldn't asymptomatically spread it. And that has been terrifying to me

to like know someone who had it and had absolutely no symptoms. She had, I mean, nothing wrong at all. And she could seeably have been passing it on to other people. That's why I support to wear a mask. Wear a mask. Exactly. What a great takeaway from that story. Because it's not, you're not wearing a mask

to protect yourself from other people. You're wearing the mask to protect people from you in case you're carrying it and don't know it. So people not wearing a mask are incredibly selfish, incredibly selfish. So if you're not wearing a mask. I understand it. Like usually I, you can see a problem,

you can see both sides of it. I really just can't wrap my head around the whole mask thing. I can't either. I just really don't understand it. It's so confusing. I think I, I, I, somebody tweeted about this a few years, but, but like there are about our mistake being like, it's like no, no, no, no, you need to capitalize on America's,

uh, uh, uh, just absolutely hyper. You need to capitalize on America's just absolutely hyper drive self-interest. You should have always said from the very beginning that masks protect you. That means everyone will wear them. But they were too accurate when they were saying, and too honest up front when they said, oh no, it's actually to protect other people.

Too much individualistic attitude. Attitude's here. Attitudes here. No, no, no, no. You should have said from the very beginning that masks protect you because Americans that they protect you and that they're illegal. Oh, yeah.

Exactly. And people feel about I, I just, it like the graphs are terrifying. Like in Austin, it's bad. Texas is a state. Pretty damn bad. Just because of the way it's all being handled. But I feel like at this rate, if this keeps going on here, there'll be, there'll be another lockdown.

But I feel like as other countries take it more seriously, which I know a lot of them aren't as well. It's not just bad here, but I feel like at this rate, Americans will be banned from the rest of the planet for years. We're going to be put on a total of literal years. No one like no one here will be able to leave. It'd be insane. We're messing it up.

I mean, there's a very large portion of this country that's kind of fucking it up for everyone, which is really fun. It's kind of like someone, I saw a tweet about this the other day, but you could equate it to being in college or high school and working on a group project. And there's one slacker who's just messing it up for everyone. You end up doing all the work and still fail the project because of that one person. And it's just like, why am I putting in all this work if you're just gonna go ahead and fuck it up for us

and walk us back eight steps? Just sucks. What a great world. I also saw this really upsetting video. I mean, I've seen a couple of upsetting videos at this point of some, it's usually a white woman in a grocery store. I've seen like eight videos of this, like screaming about masks and yelling at people and throwing a tantrum and stuff like that.

First of all, like, who raised you? Okay, what the hell else going on here? But also, like, it's, they always screen something about like, you fucking democratic pussies or whatever it is. Like, it's become a, like, it's not a partisan issue. This is a health concern that doctors around the world are all in agreement on. It's not a political thing and it somehow become that.

And I know I talk about in the podcast all the time, it's just so frustrating. It is, it's political now, apparently, even though it absolutely should not be. It must suck to actually be named Karen at the moment. I know, I had a friend in high school and I'm Karen growing up and I think about her all the time because she's my age.

I'm just like, oh, you're important. It's rough stuff. It's not a terribly common name anymore, right? Is it? I feel like I don't know anybody with that name. It definitely won't be. I mean, we've got a Bob Raul, this podcast. I know.

I dodged a bullet on that one, man, because that's also like the old white lady name, which I know more of Arbor's than Karen's. Yeah, me too. You're right. I know I know one Karen, it's a friend, it's a friend's mom, which is like the perfect like a Jason person to know named Karen, a friend's, like a long time friend's mom, named Karen. But yeah, I think we really, the second that the GOP made masks a culture war sticking

point is where we fucked the most. Like the second it was like, became part of the culture war. And not about doing like the right thing. Like once it entered that, once it entered that water system, so to speak, you can't unpoise in that water now. I have to go to the store for my weekly supply run a couple of weeks ago and I saw

someone this was I think this was right after they had remandated masks in Austin. I think it was like the day after that and I saw someone trying to walk into the store with no mask and with no shirt. I was like what? And then the security stopped him at the door. I was like, you need to have a mask on. And the guy put a mask on. And he's like, and you need a shirt too. And the guy's like, oh, I'm trying to drive and it goes back into the parking lot.

And I guess it comes back in a couple of minutes later wearing a shirt. It's like, why don't you have the shirt on in the first place to begin with? I just don't get it. When are you ever in a situation where it's that inconvenient to wear a shirt? I'm just like, I regret it. This guy was built. Yeah, yeah, he had some serious muscles going on. So more power to him, but I, he looked better. Although I guess I say that and we know Blaine who will take off a shirt at any excuse he gets. So never mind. I would try to blame him. I think if we all look like Blaine, our shirts would be off all the time.

The thing, the product I wanted to click on earlier, if I wanted to look on that Reddit ad, I saw that many Cooper's making an electric version, like an electric car and Mini Cooper. And I was like, and like the starting price was like $29,000. And I was like, wow, that's really interesting. Like I wanted to learn more about it. And I'm

glad they're doing it. I'm super great price for an electric vehicle, but the range on it was only 110 miles. I was like, well, that's not that good. Not enough, like a mini-coup is much smaller than any Tesla, right? Right. So it's not enough space.

Yeah, the battery pack is smaller and it charges slower as well. I was like, well, I mean, you get one of those weird clubbing things with like the double doors on the back. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's fine if you don't, you know, you don't, if you have another vehicle to take longer trips, you know, if you just have like a short commute to and from work every day, 110 miles is fine, but I don't see it as being like something you would replace your every, your own, you have, you know, I think it was something that would replace you being your only car for most people. Because I mean 110 miles, I guess, would get you to San Antonio from here, but then you'd have to

start cars before coming back. The outside of San Antonio and depending on what time of day. Yeah. Yeah. Just sitting in San Marcus traffic like, well, that's the end of me. Do you charge yours every night, Gus? I keep it plugged in. So whether or not I drive it, it's plugged in. It's best to keep it plugged in.

And since I'm not driving very much these days, I just keep it at a low charging percentage. I think if you're not driving very much, like normally I keep mine these days between 50 and 60% for just for every day, purposes. So the charger like manages the battery's health. Yeah, if it needs to top off, it'll do it. If not, it just sits there.

What's the good way for me to convince Bernie to give me his Tesla now that he's moving to a different country? Tell him it's attacked right off. He sent me a message earlier on a third party messaging app. And just said bitch. He sent me a message on like this other app and I was like, isn't that really him? Maybe he's doing it for to prep to be international. I think that's what he's doing. Yeah, I'd imagine.

But he won't need, surely he won't be taking his Tesla, right? Just take it. I'll watch it for him. Yeah, tell him that's what you'll make sure it's okay while he's gone. You'll take it. I'll watch it for it. Yeah, tell him that's it. You'll make sure it's okay. Well, he's gone. You'll I cast it. You'll walk. Where are you going to be driving to really though in the next year? Well, if I had a Tesla everywhere. I got my like old 2011 Honda or whatever it is still just don't knock it man Honda's for a live all the car. Yeah, I'm great. You'll have that car. Take care of it. You'll have that car for another 30 years. The thing will allow you. Yeah. I used to say that I would buy a Honda Civic when I got a car, not like the weird American one,

but like the cute little hatchback European one with like the rocket handles in that. I used to want one of those. Honda's are great cars. I've grew up, my family had Honda's. And then so when I bought my first car here in Austin, I bought a Honda and it's been great. And I had a friend of mine who really likes cars and he was talking to me about it. He's like, well, what? You've had this for so long.

Why don't you get a new car? I was like, well, a, it's paid off. So I don't have a car payment every month. And it still works. And it's like It's I'm saving money. I've got bad news for you Barbara I'm reading here in chat Dale the champion says I think Bernie's Tesla actually goes to Eric now That's right. No, that's right. He's the new Bernie. He did call dibs on the new Bernie I wasn't gonna say anything

I was gonna let you live in your little fantasy world where you got my car, but... I you're welcome to sit in it if you like. So I feel like the person Bernie would least want to have his Tesla with the Arab manure. No, no, no. No, me and Bernie were friends. You're the same person now, right? Yeah, exactly.

So it's fine. I'll live in his house, I'll drive his car. We'll be fine. I technically own Jeff's car. He lost it to me in a bet. Like the Millennium Falcon, what happened? He thought someone was in a movie and they weren't. And I want, and he bet his car in it.

So I mean, I let him drive it. Still, he still keeps it. I can can't drive it but it's mine. Oh I hope that he has titled it over to you and that it is in your name and that he just literally just drives it around. We didn't really make it very formal. No I I wouldn't I guess you probably can't rabbit all those offices are closed. But in a year when we can go back out, you should actually do that. It's come collecting, yeah.

Should we start like a pool? Like when do we think we'll be back in stage five? She's right at the podcast. Yeah, I was going to say that was totally delivered. Like, should we start? Are we rolling? Okay, let's go ahead and we're going to go. I guess that was for real now. Is that practice? We haven't been going to Eric, should we start? Are we rolling? Okay, let's go ahead. Let's go. For real now. We haven't been going to Eric. Are we ready to go?

Yeah. No, we should start like a company, an office pool where we try to figure out what day will we be working back in the studio again? I reckon this is the last time the vaccine, maybe a professed 2021 optimistic. No, 20 what like 2022. Yeah, 2021. 2021. Just just in time for 18th anniversary. Yeah, we're talking like full fully back in studio right not like one production going

into film something somewhere. Like every day we're all getting up and going into our office. Hmm. I'm going to push it later. I'm going to say, I'm going to say August 2021, as when will be a full. I'm going to say over a year from now. Just, I mean, just thinking about, thinking about the graphs, looking at those damn graphs, folks. So you're potentially saying that beyond the next RTX date,

yeah, Oh oh damn. I look,'s three vaccine candidates that are pretty far along in the process. Did you all see that Gilead announced the pricing on their coronavirus treatment? And it's treatment it right, it's not a vaccine. It's not a vaccine. It's a treatment if you get it. Did you want to have a lot of costs? It's like four grand, wasn't it? It's like three 32 hundred, 34 hundred something around there. Mm-hmm. And that's with insurance. I can't cost hospitals. $3,120 for a typical US patient with commercial insurance. That's fully enjoyable. That's worth insurance. Oh, and by the way, and by the way, don't for a damn minute think that's like that is for the drug itself. For hospital stay, for like administering it intravenously, for like everything that's

included. It's going to be 10 grand. It's going to be 10 grand. Minimum. Oh, I would say minimum 20. You'll be to get that dose for treatment and to stay in the hospital. 20 grand easy. And that's out of pocket with insurance.

So far. Where am I supposed to be? Oh, who know? Well, I haven't even considered that yet. What's the other vaccine going to be? Hoping free. Likely. Go. These. Not loud in. You're not allowed in until you get the vaccine. I would vaccine gonna open free likely

Not loud in you're not allowed in until you get the vaccine So you trapped here until what what if what okay Gavin let's set up we we can corner the market here We have a cottage industry waiting to happen. Okay, we set up Vaccine stations at international airports all around the world so that Americans go to these airports and before they go into the country they have to get vaccinated by us. And it's cheaper than getting vaccinated in the US. So it's like, you take a vacation, you come visit us, we'll give you a shot, and then you go into the country and you go back to the US when you're done. So they'll be like, oh, my micro embassies. They'll be. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, this doesn't sound like it would be difficult to implement it at all. No, this sounds like air tight. In fact, how about this? We just have a boat in international waters, an aircraft carrier, and we fly people in. Oh, why don't we get everyone right now to pay just like a small tax? Everyone just pays it, and we'll use that money to distribute the medicine, like on a national scale, like a national kind of like a go fund me or a crowdfunding for the whole country.

Yeah, you know what, that sounds crazy Gavin, but you know what, it's just crazy enough to work. I think we could probably swing something like that. Hmm. The thing that gets me is that if and when a vaccine is available for coronavirus for COVID-19, if it's not either very cheap or free, it will be appalling. Like the fact that there's this pandemic world fucking global pandemic and there's potential vaccine for it that they're going to make

difficult to get by any means. That is so inhumane, it's not even funny. And I know that's like healthcare in general, having to pay for life saving operations and things like that. It's already really fucked up. But yeah, it's just it's insane. Eric said, doesn't matter the cost, antivacs won't get it. It's true. Crazy. I didn't see that. Yeah, and that's the whole other thing. I think, what was it?

I read a statistic. God, what was it? Did I send it to you the other day, Eric? Let me find it. I found a percentage of people who said they would not get that vaccine. I wrote it down. Well, I mean, is that because like people are unsure if there's a new vaccine, if it's safe, or is that just like people who are anti-vax in general?

People who are just like anti-vax. God, I can't find out. It was something like 30% of people said, even if the vaccine was free and effective that they wouldn't get it. Oh, God. I can't find it. I read it over the weekend. I should have fucking written it down. Goddamn it.

This is the kind of things I talk about in the podcast. It's like if people want to get it, it's like, all these people not wearing masks, all these people saying they're not going to get it. Like, are they just wanting to get it? Or do they think they're just completely just superheroes? Oh, here I found it. I found it. A CNN poll last month found one-third of Americans said they would not try to get vaccinated

against COVID, even though the vaccine is widely available and low cost. Is that because they just don't know if the safety of it, the long-term side effects? Probably. I mean, we've had such a strong anti-vax movement for so long. I'm sure that a bunch of people have bought into it, even if they only partially believe it. They're probably afraid of it. I tweeted about this the other day, but it is really truly amazing how the movies that we love and were raised on on how anti-science they are Like the movies that you and I grew up watching and loving just like science is almost like in many cases science is the bad guy Like it goes too far. It pushes too much like it you know like breaks the bonds of ethics and stuff like that

And that stuff that like are from amazing movies, but that we hoovered up. And I think on some level, what's the example Jurassic Park Terminator? Actually, my buddy Mike McCray, who's done some like voice work for us before. He has a great bit talking about how like Ghostbusters, like you know who the bad guy in Ghostbusters is? The EPA. Like the dickhead, the dickless asshole at the end of that movie is a guy from the EPA. We've just been...

Oh my god. Yeah. Oh, these bureaucrats. They're just trying to science us to death. EEPA. EEPA, that's what I think all the time. Science us to life. Yes, please.

But yeah, I just find that really interesting. That could, so many of the movies that I grew up was loving. It's like, yeah, science was, they really painted science to be the bad guys. This thing that was going to go too far and now, and turns out, no, it's just the stupidest mother fuckers on earth who are just going to bring us all down.

Yep. America's number one. We are sad. Number one and being bad. I thought that was a nice just changing the subject back to a last of us, no spoilers. I noticed that there's a lot of PS3s in that game. Yeah, there are. Just connected to people's TVs. And I guess in last of us, universe, it was 2013 when the virus, or the quarter-seps, took over. Pardon me.

So it makes total sense that they never made the PS4. Right. And they come out in 2014? I think, yeah, I think so. And also, there's some, like, PS3 disk cases, or PS3 game cases for Uncharted 2, I think so. And also there's some like PPS3 disk cases or PS3 game cases for uncharted two, I believe. Yeah, you can find which is a nice touch. I was like, yeah, I guess, you know, that is the newest console. Well, the only just the Sony one. Yeah, there's no Xbox 360s in that game. We're 360s. Just other Sony games. So I guess in last of us, it's now like 20,

what's it, 24 years later? And they're like still playing the PS3. Is it that long? I mean, yeah, what else are you going to play? There's no other systems that are out. Well, just because at the beginning, because I've just played last of us one, the opening scene is present day, 2013, and then

it says 20 years later. And then it's like a four years later in the next one. Wait, so, so how old is Ellie in last of us two? She's like 19. So something like that. Yeah, I guess 18 or 19 if she was 14 in the first one and then four years of past. There is someone at our company and I've already messaged her who looks just like Ellie and that is Emily DeCita. I swear to God, I saw the opening cutscene of Last of Us 2 and I was like, that's Emily, that's Emily.

So if you guys want to Google that or look her up on social media. But I was like, I mess it around, I was like, you have to cosplay. She does look very similar. My favorite is like back when the first Last of Us came out, there were like couples who would cosplay as Joel and Ellie. And then you'd see like photos of them kissing and you'd be like, oh no, I don't want to see that. No thanks. No thanks man.

Yeah, that's bad. That's bad. It's like whenever I see fan art of Ruby and Yang doing some adult things together, seeing some wrong things and I'm like, they're sisters. Please stop. Please Stop. Please stop. Please stop. They're also like teenagers. Oh, is Emily in the chat?

Is she? Yes, Emily. She is Ellie. Oh, yeah, they're fierce. Hello, that's me. I can't believe. You summoned her like we talked about Disney earlier. Thankfully, Mr. Disney didn't show

up. Mr. Disney. You're comments. Stop. It's weird. The thing is, the name was Walter something. I don't remember. HBO. You got to just say it louder. As long as you say that one louder. Oh, nice, nice purple background there, Gavin. Good corporate branding. Yeah, there you go. Is that the color of the HBO the new one? Yeah, it's purple. New it

Meal it. Last of us to is a very good looking game, though, by the way when you play them both back to back. This is significant Inprests and how I guess because it was like end of last generation versus end of this generation Although I did play the PS4 version of last of us one. So I assume they used to look even shit here. Yeah. Um, the thing I like about last of us too so far is it does not make my PS4 scream like some other games do. I know there's just some games where like the fans go Christ. It's doing that to mine. It's making my go apes. It's even the last of us, the last of us remastered also made my fans go apes shit because on that when you have the choice of like, do you want to high frame rate or do you want 4K or do

you want us to try for the like best of both worlds in the middle. And that one makes your fans go utterly apes shit. Mine hasn't been that bad, but yeah, it's definitely a lot louder than my Xbox One. But I can't play last of us two on my Xbox One, so here we are. There you go. They also seem to have added some film grain effect, which is slightly disappointing. I don't like it with games at that. Especially in today's streaming world, that that must just cause compression nightmares.

Wait, the thing that I always hate is when it's like when you're playing like a first person game and there's like water on the lens. This doesn't make any sense. Like the lens gets misted up on a first person or a third person on a first person. We're like I'm looking through someone's eyes. This wouldn't happen. Well, they'd be way closer. Right. They wouldn't be like on a window in front of you. It's like, what, this is first person. Why are there wipers on this? Like, I don't, come on.

I remember the first time I saw liquid on the, on the screen of a game. And that was in Vice City, where you could use the chainsaw to kill people, and it would put little gloves of blood on the screen. And I was like, that's so cool. That's so realistic. I remember there was like, there was a big deal when middle gear solid two came out because they had, I guess there was like, if you broke a glass, I had ice in it,

and the ice cubes were closer together, they would melt more slowly than if the ice cubes were further apart. And I was like, wow, that's awesome. And then they was like, wait a minute, that just has no bearing on the game at all. I'm not gonna notice that, it doesn't matter. It's like such a weird little detail to focus on

and to show off. It has zero effect on the game. Yeah, it's funny. It's all the details. The video games are cool, I like game. Yeah, it's funny. It's already. The games are cool. I like them. I can't believe. I can't believe I'm still play video games.

Like I wonder what the drop off is for most people like age wise versus like video game consumption. Because I feel like I still play quite a bit. I mean, not as much as I do when I was younger, but I still like I'm doing like those was called parabola. Right? Sure. Like, yeah. Yeah. Math thing where it's like I played a lot when I was younger and then completely fell off at like my early 20s. And now that I'm about to be 31, it's like coming back. And maybe like because I'm working. You like the COVID graph. Yeah. Yeah. The second, my second wave of gameplay.

Although it never went zero. So that was that was the same thing with me. Like I played like I had, you know, regular Nintendo SNES, Sega, um, and PlayStation one. And then after PlayStation one, I just like, stop. I, you know, middle school heist didn't really play much in high school through college. And then, yeah, one of my, I think for my 30,

31st birthday, 31st birthday, a friend of mine, got just a super, super nice guy, John Garcia got me a PS4. Yeah, just a really nice, super thoughtful birthday. It was really awesome. God, that's a great kid. It's a great4. Yeah, just a really nice super thoughtful birthday. It's a great. It's a great gift. And I like hadn't really, I didn't own any other like gaming systems before that are like, you know, since since PlayStation one. So I went from PlayStation one to a PS4. And did look did look better. Slightly. You know, just a little bit.

And got, so he got me that and like the uncharted edition. So it came with uncharted force. That was like the first game I jumped back into playing video games with. And it was like, this is fucking awesome. Like just completely blown away by how much stuff has gotten better, which is weird because I know that games just weren't on my radar.

Like I guess I had this peripheral knowledge of them getting having gotten better and stuff like that But then they just like you know exploded into my into my view and in a major way once that happened once I got that yeah So in high school, were you just like off having sex and stuff? Oh, yeah Yeah, no that was that was that was the problem is like in high school and college and stuff I discovered six and drugs and Rock and roll and you're almost too popular No, no, it's quite the opposite

No, I just yeah, I was like really into like, you know, playing music and stuff like that. I was like, my band doing like, band and bands and stuff like that. That was my college and high school, late high school and college experience for the most part. But then I, you know, the grade rediscovery of how awesome video games are happened in the 30s. Especially now. Yeah. I, when I was in college, I, all of my roommates were a bunch of video game loving nerds like me.

So I was able to sustain the video game playing. I got a part-time job at our college's audio-visual department so that I could rent projectors on the weekends and take them and we would like project Mario Kart on the N64, like super huge on the sides of buildings and play like that. All right, how successful was a good one? Okay, you know what? I'm gonna take, make a little brief attraction. In college, there was some, there was some doing of some illicit substances and playing Mario Kart 64 and Golden Island. That's all good. So good. Oh, puppy.

Oh my god, did he just wake up? Yeah, he was asleep at my feet and I just picked him up. I love how shaky your dogs are sometimes. Are you cold? He got a haircut. So he might be lucky. Lucky dog, that's all I want right now. Yeah, I mean,

Trevor got a haircut this weekend. Jellis for Simon, like four months. Like he went out into the world to get one. No, so he's like friendly with the woman who cuts his hair and so she actually came to our place and like they set outside with Max and everything and like didn't interact or anything like that. Too close and also being outside is helpful in terms of like air circulation and stuff. Right. But before that happened,

I actually, we filmed a video together that I think we might be putting out in this week, where he lets me style his hair in various ways, one of which I actually curled all of his hair. And so it looks like he looks like he could be named Karen. And I want to see. Can you see this? This is my hair currently right now.

Whoa. Whoa. Do you take the hat off? Let's. Oh, well, yeah. Why is it hot? It just made your, because it's just like hat hair right now. Whoa.

Wow. Oh my god. You know, my hair normally goes up, but it's reaching the point where it's so long now that it's starting to fall over onto itself. It's like, I don't know what's happening with it anymore. It's like, yeah, that's what's happened. Oh, shit.

Back over here. I feel like my beard's not gotten any longer recently, but it's just like curling into itself. Yeah. And I'm at the point where I'm gonna have to deal with it. Also, your hair is getting longer too. Yeah, I'm like eight months on the head hair. I did a fun thing. I got this product called Overtown,

which is essentially color-depositing conditioner. So it's not, it's kinda like semi-permanent. But I got the pastel purple color, and I put it in my hair. I know a couple people in the chat have been noticing my hair looks a little different. But because my hair's like not bleach blonde, it didn't take 100%.

So it's very subtle, but it's weird because it just makes it look darker, which is an interesting way to do it. But I was like, we'll probably be here until maybe April 2021, who knows? So why not change things? Did you two guess the dates, Bob? I did not put in a guess.

I'm going to guess May 5th, 2021. Interesting. I'm going to guess March 24th, because that is exactly one year from the last day that we spent at the office. Hmm. I think my last thing was the twenty-one third when we did that podcast. Wasn't that on the twenty-fourth? It was a twenty-third.

Okay. So maybe it's the twenty-third. So I'm March twenty-thirds what I'm going to say. That was the last time I saw you in person. Yep. Yep. And it's a never thought I'd say I miss you. That's crazy. It's gonna be so weird if we can have a good time to work. It's gonna be so weird.

Yeah. I'm still having, like, I think every night I have a stress dream about being in a store and not having a mask. I think I had one last night that I was at HB and I had gone shopping and I didn't realize it until like I was bagging my groceries at the end. I was like, oh shit, I don't have a mask on.

They're like, wake up like an cold sweat. Like at five in the morning. Dude, you're just throwing your shopping at the people filming you. Uh-huh. Okay. I got to stop these dreams. I have the same dreams, although those are all

my stress dreams are just like, I'm in a place without a mask or like, I'm like trying to get through a crowd of people holding my breath. Just always the same. It's the fucking worst. I thumbs down forever. I've also started, so we're researching plane incidents for more episodes of Black Box Down.

So I started having plane stress streams as well, even though I haven't flown in forever. I had one. It really won't fly for a while, too. Yeah, and I'd probably be a long time. I had one last night. It's like, why do I do this to myself? Any time I have to work on a script for Black Box Down,

it's like, well, time to be depressed for the next couple of hours. It's interesting. You get to stream that into the last of us. Yeah. I don't know if we've talked about in the podcast either, but Trevor and Alfredo are starting a new podcast called Red Web, which is about conspiracy theories and mysteries and stuff like that. It's a very true crime-esque.

And I don't know if they talked to you about it, Gus, but I feel like you guys should do some type of crossover with Black fucks down. They had mentioned that. We haven't, and I told them this as well, like we haven't done guests before, and I don't know how we would do it, but I definitely want to think about ways to incorporate that and ways to try to get that done. So there's nothing solid planned yet, or we're trying to brainstorm and see what we can come up with. Yeah, I think it'd be really fun. Yeah, we'll be, or just like swap your, your other person. So like instead of Chris, you get Alfredo and then you go on to Black Box

down or something. I feel like we've been in doing the first, I think we mentioned this in the 10th episode and doing like the first 10 episodes of that show. It's been almost like, like a college course for Chris, like just trying to teach him so many things and learn so many things and having him try to pick up on the way that incidents normally happen and what can lead to them.

And I think he's gotten, he's gotten, he's learned. He's gotten pretty good at it. Teaching him things like object permanence and, uh, that, that, in episode 10, I kind of glossed over one detail. And then he was like, object permanence and In episode 10 I kind of glossed over one detail and then he was like, oh don't you want to explain that? That's the you know this and this and that I was like, oh right. Yeah, I guess I should have explained that damn

It's like I'm glad. I'm glad you remembered that. I'm glad you learned about that It reminds me of a oh sorry go ahead. I was gonna say Chris represents like the audience who isn't Gus. Yeah. And I forget that people don't necessarily listen to every episode. Like I have been viewing it as like, you listen one through 10 and he remembers people might just dip in for individual episodes because that's what normal people do. They don't spend eight hours working on our fucking

hot press script to talk for 30 minutes. We do a we do the show called hard mode with the the Risheeeth crew. And you know, the the aspect of the show is that we pick a game or some type of thing that people play together, but add an element to make it hard. And there's been a couple episodes we put out where we didn't necessarily have like as distinctive a hook of what made it hard. And a lot of comments, I see are just like, well, the thing that makes us a hardmo is that you have Chris in it. Yeah, because he just makes everything a little more complicated. Trying to explain rules

to him and trying to keep him like focused and everything like that. That's a hard mode in itself. He's the only one. Guess who? Yeah, we're actually doing another one. We're filming another one this week, but we'd love to have you back, Gavin, if you'd like to come back. Yeah, man.

We might do two rounds this time, but put two rounds up on the Ruchitid site and just one round up on YouTube so that people, you know, come over to the site to see. Yeah, come visit our site. Speaking of our site, we need to wrap this up because there's another group that's going to be streaming here. Someone else streams right after us, right? I think Funhouse. Funhouse, yeah. I don't know if they're streaming today. Normally they do. I don't know what you're present if they are today. I believe they are, yeah.

Pretty sure. So we're going to go ahead and wrap this up. Thanks for watching everybody. A special shout out, special thanks to our first members for supporting us and helping us do all the things that we're able to do and we'll be back again next week. We'll see you guys then. Love you.
