Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time to put your pedal to the metal. From the twisted minds behind Deadpool and Zombieland, an executive producers, Will Arnett and Anthony Mackie comes the new Peacock original series, Twisted Metal, a high-oxane action comedy based on the classic video game series. Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, a motor-mouthed outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting point is 00:00:29 If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church, twisted metal, streaming now, only on Peacock. You're listening to Rooster Teeth Podcast number 538. If you hear something you would like to see from this episode now celebrating four weeks of Gus's vacation. Where's the fuck is he? Japan? He's in Japan? He posted that public right? He thinks he is.
Starting point is 00:01:18 He's in Japan? Yeah. He's in Singapore today. What? You tell me, hold on. First of all, thanks for joining us. I'm technically Gus's manager. I have no idea where he is. Our CEO is here, so I have to do the business stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Brought to you today by Goat, ExpressVPN, and a little something we like to call RTX 2019. I'm Bernie. Just a guy this way. I'm not going through. I'm not going through. I'm LA. I'm Gavin.
Starting point is 00:01:43 The problem is that we keep doing the intros. Even though this is episode number 580, right, Eric? Five, 38. Five, 80. That's what I said. Okay, five, 38. We still intru ourselves. We still get it wrong every time.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Well, you started that and that time, that's what it's. Well, it's different people every time. So no one's ever sure who they are. And here's the thing, if he starts, it's definitely not every time. So no one's ever sure who they are. And here's the thing, if he starts, it's definitely not me next. Yeah, definitely. I was just like, just zero.
Starting point is 00:02:10 So what do you think it looks back around? Like they either go out of radical. Go in the other way. It still wouldn't be me next. I get, no, it wouldn't. No, because of me. That, no, it would be age. There's no way to get it.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, but we're talking about what? Right before we went live, I was talking with Ellie. Today is our 16th anniversary. Is that the way to say that? Birthday? Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Can you have birthday for things? Birthday for the anniversary. That aren't for people. What's the history of sweet 16? You're jumping right into that, huh? I am. it's like I Because I'm really getting like some kind of weird like
Starting point is 00:02:48 Victorian well, I was taught we did a little promotional thing before The show started and we were singing different songs yeah, and one of the songs we talked about was should we sing sweet little 16 by Chuck Berry even when you say it doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound right, right? It's a little weird in this day and age. It sounds like that song should be called kind of get away with it. Yeah, exactly. Are you legal yet? Right.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's called problematic over time. Is that what it is? Is that like an age you've consented today? Right, you're a treat, Guff. Oh yeah. Yeah, I said congratulations to the Ristis now old enough to get railed in England. I think people thought I meant drinking, but I did mean sexual intercourse.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Just to clarify. This is a little dating hack. I think I've talked about where it's from. If you're dating a guy or dating a lady, I think there's two things you should always bring up on the first date. One is if you're dating a guy, casually bring up the age of consent and get it wrong and see if then he corrects you and gets it right. There's a certain kind of guy who like has a catalog of all the states in the US
Starting point is 00:03:56 and their different ages of consent. It's a certain kind of guy that has that. And I don't know if you're going to get that kind of guy that should be in jail. It's right, exactly. It's like you want to know this on the first date if this person has an encyclopedic knowledge. You're going to need this first date, really suspicious. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Why did you agree to this first date? If that's the kind of person you thought you were dating. I mean, half the people you're just trying to make sure they're not going to kill you, right? Isn't that the one you could be like, I really like your gun and your pocket. Well, you know what the final version of that is? What?
Starting point is 00:04:25 At some point in the conversation, she says something funny, whatever, or tells you a story. You just say the words. That's nuts. You're crazy. Just say that, just not that joke is crazy. Specifically the words, you're crazy. Totally in context, totally offhand.
Starting point is 00:04:43 If it goes by, it's no problem. If she goes, don't call me crazy, get the fuck out right away. Because people in her life are calling her crazy all the fucking time. And she has a reaction to it. When you're 16, you know, yeah, kind of crazy. I mean, would you hire someone knowing that they had taken someone across state lines to have some nice legal sex. How would we find that out? Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Welcome to the podcast, Matt. Legal sex. What, we're all 16 here. This one's a little, this is a live one, like all the other ones. If that came up in the interview, that would be a red flag. Like, let's talk a little bit about stuff that's not in your resume. Well, I just got back from Brazil or something. I don't know where he would go for that.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Gavin, let me ask you this, we're on a first date. What is the state that has the youngest age of consent in your idea? I bet our fucking chat knows. I bet they'll know. Okay. But you know it because you'll get to verify it. So you know it.
Starting point is 00:05:41 No, I'm just assuming they know. I'm gonna guess like Louisiana, because you could drink their, I don't guess like Alaska or something. Some of them they really need to probably really do it. So we have a weird thing now. We're looking off the screen this way a lot today. It's because for the first time we have chat up.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Where in America can you have nice legal sex the earliest? So is that sweet 16? Is that where that comes from? Is it like, do we want to look this up? Well, I stuff ripens. It becomes sweet. All right. Oh boy. Oh boy. I wish you'd stop. You know, just immediately. I picked a great podcast. The end of the year. Tennessee. The Turkey. Mrs. We're just naming states now. I'm so scared. map. Tenancies, I'm gonna talk to you. We're just naming states now. I'm so scared. Look at the next anniversary.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Alabama, although look at it's coming up a lot. Kavanaugh. Alabama. Alabama's probably. I feel like it was it. I like that there's some people who were just taking this opportunity to demean other states. I saw Wongaibas like Georgia from. Yeah, look, they know.
Starting point is 00:06:39 They know. Of course they have a big role. They're all terrible there. I saw some really young people. So it sounds as though, oh. What's this? We put a map. Oh my God.. Oh look it's Eric's lock screen that we have up now Is that a thing that says puberty? Wait, what's no? Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:57 Pink what is that oh so as long as you hit Piappity that looks like the Pacific No, where is that? That's like South of Mexico. There's a lot of places that are a little too green from a like. So we're looking here at a map for audio listeners. We're looking at a map of,
Starting point is 00:07:13 and I never realized how much one of the lakes in Canada looks like a flying goose. That's so appropriate. I never realized that until just now. But we're looking at a map of the US and Canada showing ages of consent. Canada is like, like solid 15 years old. Well, the color coding, it looks like the lakes are 12.
Starting point is 00:07:33 There's two greens that are very old. Like a lake, you can have sex for the lake. Get off the lake. Get off the land and go in the lake. Get off the lake. It's fine. What is the age of consent on the International Space Station? Oh. Pull that map again. What is the age of consent on the International Space Station? Oh.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Pull that map again. I'm worried about something here. I'm squinting to see it, but it looks like the color for 13 and 17 are very close to each other. And those should be really, really, really good at it. I'm gonna trust that 17 is the way that. Darker green one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You're on, I'm not a pitophile. I'm just color blind. Wait, I'm not a pedophile. I'm just color blind. Wait, I'm red green color blind. Sorry about that. Does that say 16, but technical? Hey, what's another great topic? Can you stop ringing? So we have the chat up here today, Matt,
Starting point is 00:08:17 because today is a 24 hour period in which every single person can enjoy first content, including watching this podcast live. Yes. So now you can contribute to, although the stuff that people are contributing is really gross and weird. Someone wants to know how long my hair is.
Starting point is 00:08:34 My hair is now exactly this slow. Yep. Good done a little bit. I had to pull it out because it goes curly and wavy and it just goes in on itself after a while. after a while. After a while. It's like implode. Yeah, when I was in salt water for a week, and my hair was just straight out. You have the same hair, right? You have naturally curly hair.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah. You didn't do this to myself. No. No. Everyone always thinks that I got a perm. I'm always on the terms. No, actually, it is 2019. I didn't get a perm. Was your hair always curly even as a kid?
Starting point is 00:09:04 No, it was sort of like overnight when I was 11. Yep, did you have a terrible experience? It was a little kind. Well yeah, I had a traumatic experience the next day. This happened to me. No. I was saying, wait, I had straight hair in my entire life until I went to college and then I got curly hair in college.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And I don't know what to say. I don't know. I don't know how to say that you caught a disease. I got curly hair. I got curly hair. I caught the curls. Yeah. Didn't know her name. I used to hate core disease. I got a purely hair. I got curly hair. I got the curls. Didn't know her name. I used to hate it for a long time, but now I like it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I think it looks nice. I'm having trouble. I'm having trouble. Sweet. Sweet 16 is a coming-of-age party, celebrating a teenager's 16th birthday, mainly celebrated in the United States and Canada. Similarly, I'm really nervous for reading this. Similarly, celebrations are found in different cultures around the world, such as the Kins and Yera in Hispanic countries,
Starting point is 00:09:48 and Festa Day W. Tantez in Brazil. I thought it might be this. Is this where they introduce you to society? Like the debutants in Southern society in the US where they just have, it's basically like a beauty pageant kind of. It's more like you reach a certain age way, like you're allowed to go to the country, cloudable, some crap, and it's like, mm-hmm. I mean, it's kind of goes back to you, boy. Please take my daughter away now.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Kind of. And it's available for a union. Available for purchase. Yeah, basically. Someone wants to wed two houses from all over the world. Yeah, exactly. I feel like the parents want that to be the last thing they spend on that person.
Starting point is 00:10:27 So it's like a send-off. No, you got to pay for the wedding. Oh, I guess you do. And there's a dowry in the US. What happened to the dowry? What happened to the dowry? Oh, man, come on. How did the dowry work?
Starting point is 00:10:37 The dowry was like a payment that came along with the lady. Yeah, it was like, do you want this lady or get a bag of gold? Yeah. Did it depend like if she was not as attractive? Would it be like more payment? It was just about how much money the family had. Yeah, it was like, do you want this lady, you'll get a bag of gold. Did it depend like if she was not as attractive would it be like more pain? It was just how much money the family had. That was it. Yeah, or like, you know, maybe it was a cow or not money. It was just like a gift. You also go magic when you married the daughter. I will give you my daughter and forego. And a goat. You're welcome. She
Starting point is 00:11:01 will come to you on a llama. And the llama is also yours. I've been reading this book called Sapiens. I think I talked about it recently. It's about the rise of early man and all the different species of essentially humans that existed like Nandrothal's, Nandrothal's. I believe some people pronounce it. Some of us haven't. It's like trokin, some. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no a fast-ending book. It's all theoretical, of course, because we don't know that much.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Anything we have that's evidence, the only things that survive were bones and stone, basically. So anything they have in their daily life, like leather or wood, those things are just gone, you know, or mud, you know. They didn't, we don't have those anymore. I'm like, right, we had a game of Catan. It does, right?
Starting point is 00:11:40 Does Nanderthal DNA show up on Ancestry? It does. It does. It does. 23 and me. It does. Yeah. I think you seem worried. Yeah. No, no, I'm just curious.
Starting point is 00:11:50 What do you think? You have a low-brow. Do you get it in your closet? I think what Neanderthal might be. I think they thought that Neanderthals were pretty much just wiped out. And then they've discovered now that there was like some sweet 16 happened to some Neanderthals as well. Yeah. Can't tell you something cool that the
Starting point is 00:12:06 guide Dave who taught me like some survival skills told to me when I was like, yeah, when I was real struggling to make a fire one time, he was like, Hey, if you think about it, you are like the descendant of the people that were best at survival. Yes. And so like, you have this inside of you inside your very DNA, you know how to do this. And I was like, that's not true, but very kind. Like I don't know how to do this because like, my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather
Starting point is 00:12:30 could make a fire. But I feel like I wasn't born with. Kind of a cool fact to think about. It's like a kitten immediately knows how to shit and bury it. Shit. I have nothing. I've never done that. You didn't have that one down.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'm trial and error for Gavin on the bearing shit. Procedure. I'm going to play old times. The dowry could have been just fire. Maybe they had fire and they're like, I've never seen that before. I will definitely take. This is the pilot light.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Your daughter, but then the fire burns out and I'm like, that's cheating. What happened? Because you don't know you've never seen fire before. Oh, that's true. Like, thank you for this eternal gift of light. Oh, what's up? It's gone and you're like, what's wrong?
Starting point is 00:13:01 That's trick. Well, there had to be a point in time before we learned how to make fire that gathering fire was a whole art. Like they'd wait for a lightning strike, I guess. Don't just grab it. Don't. Yeah, I go get it, but then a rainstorm would come
Starting point is 00:13:16 and at least the first time they experienced fire, they might not know that rain puts it out and then they'd use their fire. That's gotta be a really fucking shitty day. You had fire and then you lost fire. What do you do at this point? You don't know about the stick thing. You don't know about the stick thing.
Starting point is 00:13:29 You don't know about the stick thing. You don't know how to do that. Did you have to do that for your survival? You had to do that two sticks or the tinder. I made a bow. That's what I like to spin right. Yeah, so I make you, but you make a bow so that you just have to drive the bow back
Starting point is 00:13:40 and forth and that spins the stick for you much faster than you can do. Simple machine. Yeah, it was really cool. And you did it, you can do. Simple machine. It's wicked. Yeah. It was really cool. And you did it. You made fire? I did.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I made fire. Yeah. And Dave was still not impressed. He was very hard to press. Yeah. I made this, I mean, fair enough, awful shelter. And he just, he just made fun of me and then threw a bucket of creek water at me. It was a good day.
Starting point is 00:14:01 That was the original Nandr's thought, Mary. Generally, you throw a bucket of creek water at the moment. That was the original Nandr's thull marriage. I believe you threw a buckwheat creek water at the moment and you're chasing. So after we got done with a sailing trip, Ellie Grubb is a life long trader. The first time I ever went sailing was in a vlog that we did, with Drew Baldwin who came on this trip with him.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Is that why you dropped the thing in? No, no. It wasn't even gonna break it up. You dropped the winch handle into the water. I think literally, it was great time and it was right under set. Yeah, I grew up on sailboats, so I don't even know if it's fun.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And you all gonna need that back as the thing. But that was fun. It's just 3D print another one. That's fun. On the boat. I was just fired up down below. There is some stuff if you lose it, like if you're in the middle of the ocean,
Starting point is 00:14:42 you've got a problem on your hand. Oh yeah. Yeah, if you lose your last winch handle you're in the middle of the ocean, you got a problem on your hand. Oh, yeah. If you lose your last win channel, and luckily there was a second one that day, we were like Travis too, so it wouldn't be the worst thing to lose. The whole. Probably. The rotation, the thoms.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Actually, I think the worst thing to lose, probably the worst thing to lose, single thing, I would guess is the rudder. Yeah, probably the worst single because you can't replace it with anything else. I just put your on my dad lost the keel to his boat one time. Get the fuck out of here How that happened? Because it was a retractable keel Because it's made for wearing in and out of like Channel, I mean the boat tips over it. Well makes it way easier to tip over because it was had a really long keel
Starting point is 00:15:21 But he unwound it and was just like kept on wanting it and then just had this like because it had a really long keel, but he unwound it and was just like kept on whining it and then just had this like- Don't care. And the boat, like it really goes like that. For those of you who are not familiar with the anatomy of a sailboat, the keel- The chunky bottom.
Starting point is 00:15:33 It's basically this big huge weight that weighs as much as the rest of the boat, but it's underwater so that when it's tipping like this, your parents will go, don't worry, we're not gonna fall in and you're like, okay. Yeah, you're like dipping into the water while you're holding on to the lifeline.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Because this is like giant keel, but not anymore. Yeah, because when the wind comes, old school sailboats say that to sail with the wind, but now they can sail. There, it's right there, the keel at the bottom. That's the big fan at the bottom. That's gone now. No rudder on there though.
Starting point is 00:15:56 If you lose your rudder, you got a problem. Yeah. But I was gonna say is that I was just for the hell of it, I thought, I wonder what it would cost to like outfit a boat. Like I went to a boat place, like a website, and started hitting configuration. Don't do that, by the way, ever. That's a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Yeah. But I found out that's amazing. Some of these boats, now at the point where like a normal size sailboat, you can get a decolonization plant on them to where they just make water. Really? I thought this was this is proghibitively expensive technology that was-
Starting point is 00:16:24 What's powering Uh, but I don't know. Okay, gas the diesel engine. I mean, surely you just get a kinetic like renewable energy thing because if you're going forward It's gonna be making you want to turbine. I just make up science. I have no idea You know forward equals power There might be high hydro power is what you're saying. Yeah, but it's the wind that's doing it. So it's kind of wind powered. Right. Right, but using the boat as a really weird windmill. Yeah, pushing it through the turbine spinning.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yes. I don't know what power. So I'm assuming it's a diesel engine. The power is it, but this thing. Some of these, some of these like, hello, it's like, it's all this like renewable energy stuff. That sounds great. No, it's just a good old fashioned.
Starting point is 00:17:04 We're burning whale blubber as fast as possible. It's a dude shoveling coal. That's all it is. He's not even shoveling to fire, just straight into the ocean. He just settles coal in. But a horrible story about a pregnant whale that they found that had something like 22 kilograms
Starting point is 00:17:23 of plastic in its stomach. Just like, ugh. That's like the legacy now. It's like plastic and everything. I really feel like once we head back into like things you can recycle like glass, we'll look back at these days and be like, whoa, that was a real mistake when someone was like, I've made this thing. I should have been like, kill it.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Stop. Don't tell anyone about it. That's a terrible idea. Terrible idea. But the book I was reading, Sapiens, is like, I mean, I feel like suddenly modern humans have had this incredible impact in the environment with carbon emissions and everything like that.
Starting point is 00:17:52 It's kind of like what we've done the entire time. Basically, the world is separated and this is all what's getting theoretical. It's separated into areas that humans reached and areas that humans didn't reach. And the areas that humans reached, it was like everything that was larger than a human when it completely synced within about 1000 years
Starting point is 00:18:08 of them showing up. Like they can trace humans showing up in a place and finding relics at a certain time. Like if they showed up in 14,000 BC, by 13,000 BC, the giant sloths all gone. You know, everything bigger than, wooly mammoth gone. Like the moment humans showed up,
Starting point is 00:18:23 they just started killing everything inside and mix lost Burgers opened up at the same time So you know there's some kind of connections Maybe can't pinpoint exactly but it seems like it's more than a coincidence So you say we're just really lucky to have elephants and stuff We're lucky that we haven't run through all the animals yet. It's like this isn't a new thing We've been we're lucky elephants taste that we on a very steady path for a long time now. And pretty much we'll leave us alone if we don't try and kill him.
Starting point is 00:18:48 So it's like, yeah. These guys go. Did you guys see the New York Times article about glitter? No. Is it really bad? I mean, the article itself is amazing. So this, like, glitter is a very secret industry. No time to so prestigious though.
Starting point is 00:19:02 You mentioned studying journalism and graduating. Just show up near time. So, hey, we need you to just do a story on glitter. But it's amazing. So every piece of glitter. We're talking about the Mariah Curie movie, right? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Every piece of glitter that's ever been made still exists and will exist for thousands of years. It doesn't quite degrade. Most of it just sits on the ocean floor. That's the sad bit. That's very sad. The very intriguing bit is that the biggest purchaser of glitter is a giant secret and they do not want you to know that it's glitter. That's very sad. The very intriguing bit is that the biggest purchaser of glitter is a giant secret and they
Starting point is 00:19:26 do not want you to know that it's glitter. It's Mariah Curie. Wait a minute. What? Wait. The biggest, like the... The biggest purchase... Yeah, the biggest like manufacturer purchaser of glitter, like the company or the product
Starting point is 00:19:37 that buys the most glitter. It's a giant secret and they don't want you to know. And I think it's toothpicks. Is it a surprise party that's coming? The biggest surprise party of all time. And no information can't get out. You can't know that it's glittering. So do everybody know?
Starting point is 00:19:52 It's a party that is. That's going to be so much glitter. But I described the inside of a glitter factory. And it looks like something out of the Wizard of Oz, because everything is covered in glitter. I would imagine so. It's really interesting if you haven't read it. It's amazing. But I think that the biggest purchaser of glitter is toothpaste.
Starting point is 00:20:09 What? Because they don't want you to know it's glitter. It's unlike you spit it out, so you're technically not ingesting it. Technically. Yeah. This is my theory. I've been thinking about this a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:17 What are you on about? How do you mean? How much from glitter to toothpaste? Because they're flex. Yeah, what are those little shiny flex? If not tiny pieces of glitter. I think you would have to just close that though. Why?
Starting point is 00:20:31 It's gonna give it to be fluoride. Yeah, but you just feel it's like kind of chemical name. I mean, you don't know. See, if you have, it's a... So all of the glitters will end up at the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. Well, I mean, so we don't need the coral reefs. We've got a fabulous ocean.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Oh, no. That's very bad. It's very bad. It's very, very bad, because this was small. But yeah, it's very interesting. I'm sorry, I just blew my mind. I read the about the sea of the day. Is it cut from big glitter? Like sheets?
Starting point is 00:20:54 How do you make it? They don't grow like this a secret. No way, nobody knows how they make glitter. No, it's like, it blows my mind. It's like all about like half-lengths of light. Like, it goes into how glitter is made. And it's like the half all about like half lengths of light. It goes into how glitter is made and it's like the half length of a ray of light. It's super cool and I am having a really bad job of explaining it right now, but you should read it.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Well, that's been the size of the glitter, but it's probably the layers, the two distance. If they get it half a wavelength of light, that's what makes it different colors, like on the reflection. Right. It's my oil. When you put on light. That's what makes it different colors, like on the reflection. Right. So my oil, when you put on a puddle, it makes that little rainbow. That's because it's just the distance of reflection with the layer of oil versus the surface of the water
Starting point is 00:21:35 is enough to where you can see for the colors. That looks really cool as well. Maybe we should put oil all over the ocean. You have a great top. That'd be great. And then I'm gonna have glaring under it, oil on top. It'll be perfect. And then we can spray it with whatever that chemical is that they say gets rid of the oil
Starting point is 00:21:46 That just like then settles to the ocean floor is such a depressing podcast. That's like a dry shampoo You wanted to talk about the feats of humankind Yeah Over from age of consent to its extinction events to glitter I really don't want where to go from here. For party. Seriously. That is amazing.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You should read about it. All right. Since we're on depressing facts, we'll bring on my depressing fact. Oh, I didn't propel it. Sorry. So travel related. So it's very appropriate for a billionth podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Hey, why do we take the, why do we take the episode numbers out of the podcast, Eric? You can explain yourself. There's like 100 of them. That's hard to do. Eric's answer was there's like 500 of them. So numbers out of the podcast Eric you explain yourself Eric says it was there's like 500 of them. Yeah, it's because if you're a new person it's like it's a lot Well put it in the tags of something so we can find it. I just remember, this is 538. Is it? It's in the description?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Okay. All right, there you go. Somebody said, world's largest glitter bomb, that's what it's being prepared for. That would be a glitter bomb of epic proportions. To add into Auty Life, nice. Okay, the beers thing, like where they're just buying up all the glitter to inflate the price of it, and they've got it in vaults. I think it's toothpaste. You really suck up a toothpaste thing.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I think it must be that like, whoever buys the most glitter is a big secret because like, they interview this lady and she's like, I cannot tell you. But at some point, there would have been like, you're talking to somebody and like, what's in your teeth? You know, it's so small. Oh, that's just glitter.
Starting point is 00:23:24 That's glitter. It's still like, dry like so small. That's just glitter. That's still like, like sequins. Yeah. You're not, you haven't turned into like, you have a grill or what do you bring your toothpaste in the office? Because I mean, most, I know what you're talking about, little sparkles. Are you using glitter brand toothpaste? Because that's your problem. That's a glitter ex toothpaste. Yeah. That's what it is. Now, I mean, you know, what else could it be? That's what it is. Now, I mean, you know, what else could it be? Do you remember that anniversary podcast we did from the racetrack? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:49 You know, Lanna, that was a Michael lying on the floor the entire time. When he had had too much milk and had too much speed. And he would just have to lie down for a half a day. Yeah. But that to me was like, oh, that was, that was what like six years ago. Might be more than that. Yeah. Was it that 10th? Was it the ninth anniversary? It was a big anniversary.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Oh, it was our 10th anniversary. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. So that was nine, nine years ago. No, sorry, I would go like 2010. My math is bad. Sorry. Six years ago. Yeah. I merely said, well, 2019, 10 years, nine years ago, I just feel like that was so far into the company's history. Looking back on that, I was like, man, and it's nine years ago. I just feel like that was so far into the company's history. Looking back on that, I was like, man, this company's done a lot.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah, we'll get a lot of money. That was somehow 60 years ago. It's crazy. I mean, it's really nuts. You know, this is a big one for me, the 16th one, because we had tried a bunch of different stuff. But really, the year that things started to take off was when we were in Congress,
Starting point is 00:24:48 and there was like achievement hunter, R.T. shorts started, even later in that year, we started immersion, and that was like year eight. So that was like halfway through from here. I mean, we had achievement hunter started. Or seven, oh, no, it was really other than that, right? Wasn't it year seven? It would have been, when he came in for recreation.
Starting point is 00:25:05 That season seven. Season seven. So yeah, so it was like, right there. So getting to year now, end of year eight, yeah, you know, it, or end of year 16th, like we're half the distance from that period of time, which is like, it's so crazy that's like, what was basically one show for a long time. And Gavin's still here for some time.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And Gavin's still fucking hanging around. I can't believe it. When are you going to green card you're fucking hanging around. I can't believe it. When are you gonna green card your officially hanging around? I got a green card. Hey, jealous. That's a process, I don't know about that. I feel like the green card, do you have a green card? I have one.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I know, but do you want to do like other, it was people to go away? Yeah, go away. Do you have competition now? No, not right now. No, it takes so long. It takes so long. It takes a really long time. It takes so long.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Because I looked in the emails, the email for the lawyer that was like, hey, let's get a green card was 2013. Is that the same lawyer that I found? Like way back in the day? Or is it a different sort of lawyer? Same company, I think different people. Good gosh. Yeah, some of the people look like,
Starting point is 00:25:59 died, they're retired or it's a move done. But I think, you know, there's a lot you can accomplish in life, but I think getting a green card in the middle of the Trump administration is quite an accomplishment. That is true. And I just do a lot of work. Right?
Starting point is 00:26:15 Oh, speaking of which, I read something this weekend, that you and Dan finished Halo. I don't want to talk about it. On Lasso, which is legendary, all skulls on, which is the hardest way you can play Halo. I don't want to talk about it. Unlasso, which is legendary, all skulls on, which is the hardest way you can play Halo. And let me describe some of those skulls, um, blind skull. Blind skull, you can't see your gun, you can't see how much ammo you have. Or theoretical. And every enemy is cloaked, including enemies that can't be cloaked, like sentinels and
Starting point is 00:26:40 flood. You can't see anyone. It took us like 30 hours to get through the whole game that way. Did you do it one straight go? No, we did it over like six weeks probably. Oh my God. And then we'd shoot in the day and then play that in the evenings like as a rest.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It was supposed to be one of some kind of achievement for you. Yep. And what happened? We did it on co-op. And when you start Halo 2 in single player, you get a cutscene and then you get the sort of tutorial level, where it's like, look up, up, down, right, look left, right, stand in the shield thing.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Skip's down, cop, but you need to have done it to get the achievement. Wow. So, 14 out of 15 complete. The way around it now is for me to do that tutorial on solo, lasso. Yeah. And then beat the last level again in court.
Starting point is 00:27:28 But you can't pick the level, you can only pick the playlist. And the playlist for me, because I've beaten it, starts at the beginning. Oh no. So I have to just do all of it again. Can I ask you a question?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Didn't you see that coming? No. Because you have to, I'm clearly gonna have a readout right there that showed us on screen 14 out of 15. You knew you were like 12 out of 15 when you had two levels left. Well, I was, no, you didn't see a comment. It's not as easy as that. I don't know. That's fucking terrible, dude. It was a carostation alone. The first level of Halo 2 took us like eight hours. Are you going to do it?
Starting point is 00:28:03 No, really? I can't. I can't go through that, yeah. Feel like you have another green card. We go, what was harder? What was harder? You got two lots of. Getting the lasso. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:28:13 So was it lasso for Halo 2 specifically of the entire match chief collection? Just Halo 2. Just Halo 2. I've got the achievements for the other games. So it's just one game. Come on, guys. Listen to the achievement for doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Errr. And bossy. Oh, excuse me. I got a pirate legend this weekend. Oh, congrats. A year. It took me to get that. You know what?
Starting point is 00:28:35 You haven't done Halice Fulessor, so why don't you just do it on my account? Yeah. No. No, I remember when we made Gryff Ball, which was, that was year eight, I think that was after 2007. Was it, I thought it was after season, was it, I thought it was after season five.
Starting point is 00:28:51 No, it was after season seven because he was, no, no, it was, it was the year mind season six. It was the year my nut exploded, which I think was 2007. No, that had been four years in. That's impossible. We would have been in, uh, we still would have been in a, we were, we started at Congress. It had to be Halo three.
Starting point is 00:29:09 My bed 2008. Well Halo three came out in 2007. We have it, it was a year and a half later when the DLC was coming out. Yeah, I might have been eight. Why do we eight or nine? I'm in my ball of blunder. How do you not remember that?
Starting point is 00:29:20 I wouldn't want to remember that. We had to, for Halo three, we had to unlock all the armor and we didn't have like developer issues. So I remember we farmed that out to the community and said, hey, we just need like the Mark V helmet. Mark V took over the entire, that's the boost of helmet. That was one of the hardest ones to unlock. And so we had the, we got, we registered,
Starting point is 00:29:39 I think 16 Xbox Live, usernames, gamer tags, farmed them out to the community. And then I think I forgot we paid him, like some amount of money and then some merch as well. If they would just love him. I'm gonna play Halo. And put him in the credits as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:53 I'm surprised you bothered with it, because you could have just written Kaboos out. And then you would have had someone like that helmet. Or I could have not just used the helmet and just given him a regular helmet. I just thought it was funny to have him have the old helmet. But it became such an iconic look for him. It's such a weird way, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:07 that he was a standout one. Oh man, do you have two balls? I do, Ali, thanks for asking. One of them is, well, it's been through a lot. One of them has like a wire mesh around. Just when you said explode it, I sort of fear the worst. It almost exploded.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Okay. About the size of an orange, probably. Wow. Just sit, you an orange, probably. Wow. Just sitting yourself. Did I want to? Did you just sit in yourself, funny? No, I just happened in the night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:33 When I was dressed as Santa. That's fine. Oh my God. I couldn't get back into my jeans. So I just wore the loose Santa pants to the hospital. I'm sorry, this story is just 100% new to me. I'll tell you about it one day. Okay. I've already told it's the podcast.
Starting point is 00:30:50 The Christmas tradition. Well, it's a pun time. I got hit in the ball so hard at work the other day. We, um, 2009. 2009? Yeah, you were right. Oh, wow. Early 2009, 2009.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I think they talked about it on off topic, but we painted a moonball black and then turned all the lights off and filmed us throwing this ball around with night vision cameras. And I got railed in the penis. Oh, did you know? Yeah, I went down for like two minutes. Why does the matter of his painted black?
Starting point is 00:31:19 If it's that, I mean, that was... If you have all the lights out, who cares? Did you realize that as soon as you turned off the lights, I thought, was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the only way I made that was the no way of knowing. We'll about turn the lights back on. Yeah. That's our video. How are you supposed to want to win over Jack's desk? Well, we celebrated Michael's 1 billionth second of being alive today, which was today. What time?
Starting point is 00:31:54 238. Really 238? Something like that. And he wanted some sort of celebration. So I sprayed spray cheese into his mouth. And then halfway through spread it in, it was looking a bit dark and brown and then we realized that he expired in 2017.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Oh, yeah. So he tried to wipe it on me. And I was yelling, I have the podcast today like don't wipe it all over me because I don't want to go home and change. And then he chased me around the room and then I was in sort of Jack's corner. Corner, like a box canyon.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Backed into a corner and he said, you have nowhere to go. And in my head I thought, oh yeah. So I just took a dive right over, took out a lot of stuff. Over, I've picked through. Through, well I don't have really strong legs to propel me.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Straight over him. But it's surprisingly nothing broke, which is always nice. I start from mud. I burn myself. Not just now, I burn myself last night. Help and fucking Teddy make some beef Wellington. Yeah, right. That's like, why don't right? That's like the last
Starting point is 00:32:53 thing. I know. It's Teddy learns how to make my son to cook a beef Wellington. It'd be Wellington. It's cool. Wait, what are you guys? The fuck are they keeping it that cool, dude? I, and he had a presentation at Teddy School, he has to give a presentation once a year. He has to have this project. Popping my dad's phone. No, this was, he did a culinary one where he made tomato pie, fucking disgusting.
Starting point is 00:33:16 He made beef waltened and nailed it. I'll send you a picture of this thing. It's amazing. Like I'm legitimately impressed at how well he did making beef waltened. Was it the better than the one that Jeff and I made? Yes, I would say it was better than the one that you guys did. And then he made a, as he calls it,
Starting point is 00:33:33 Cremberlay. That's what I think that's how he pronounced it. He just wanted to do the whole thing just so that he could use the blowtorch on the Cremberlay. It was the funnest bit. Yeah. And so I was so impressed by the B.F. Wellington. I said, you gotta come and make this at the house.
Starting point is 00:33:48 And so he did. He said, the blowtorch on your thumb. And I got fucking burned somehow. What happened? Jack just wrote to me, you sneaky bastard. What did I do to Jack? Jack Patilla? Yeah, maybe he's replying to the house.
Starting point is 00:33:58 He wants to be a belonged then, I guess. Maybe so. I'll send you a picture of this so you can see this thing. Do you think we could use like a flame to make the biggest creme brulee? Oh my god, help it. Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, you know, that does look like a good celebration right there. I mean, that was very little we had to choose from. It was either that or WD 40. No glitter.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Didn't show the best. Fast is disgusting. So Matt, what is your fondest memory from 16 years of Richard Keith? This podcast for sure. The conversation. I have started so well. You know, I actually, I mean, I'm just getting to 16 is pretty crazy. Barbara posted something I think about she was younger than 16. You were younger than 16. I was 14, yeah. Right. Yeah. When you started watching. The majority of my life at this point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I did a bit at the Ask the CEO panel last year, talking about companies that started in 2003 that failed. Right. Have I told you this bit? No, I actually have it. I was going to ask you about it. Okay, that list. So, I mean, Evon said something to me one time
Starting point is 00:35:21 about how only like 4% of companies make it to 10 years. Sure. That was pretty cool. And then the odds go down more and more as you go further out. So I thought, well, what were the other companies that went out of business that also started in 2003 along with us? Because it's cool to think we've been business that long, but it's even more fun to make fun of other companies that went out of business at the same time of us.
Starting point is 00:35:48 The first one that was really relevant to us was Napster. Right. And I used to say Napster started earlier. It did as the original file sharing free illegal service, right? Great. Yeah, great. Great. goal service, right? Yeah, great. Yeah, great. Yeah, great. But I mean, I mean, you talking a lot about the RIA and how they were suing people who
Starting point is 00:36:11 downloaded music, they ended up suing 12 or 8 years. Yeah, I mean, thought about that organization. And but then they've reformed as a pay service in 2003. Napster, not the other way. Yeah. And but they went out of business pretty soon after that. And the other one really closely connected to us. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:31 You know what I'm gonna say, because you have written down. What is, I feel like there's one I remember in particular. My space. Oh, okay. No way. My space, I remember.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Hooters Air was on your list. Yeah, but that was my punch line. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's it, that's that, line. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. That's that you have to set up guy tonight. Okay. 2003. My space. And what you said if we'd stayed on my space, we would have been. Yeah, if we spent a lot of time like marketing on my space or building our presence on my space, we would have just been trying to get as many friends as we could, you know, more than a, what was it, who's the comedian? That's on the...
Starting point is 00:37:07 Tequila. Tequila. Tequila, but then who's the guy, the Dane Cook? Nipsy Russell. Yeah, Dane Cook was the other one. Yeah, that was. Dane Cook. Had some like a million friends on Facebook or something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And then you know, MySpace goes away, there was, at that point in time, we did not think it was possible for a site like Web site, like my space to just go away overnight. You know, and didn't overnight, but it went away really fast. You know, and there was a lot of people like Tila de Kila, who had their whole presence on there. And what do you do? Like, start that all over again somewhere else. Who's also really cool to watch the way the company adapted to not just doing one thing
Starting point is 00:37:40 successfully. Because I feel like a ton of companies try. It's like, oh, you need to not just have this one or X in one basket and everything else kind of doesn't work and this is Well speaking of that Who's the next one on the list? Who's there? Before he was there, Spike TV. Oh right. Do you remember our interactions with Spike TV? Yes, we were I believe if the era was correctly This was just I'm just saying 2008 for everything today, but it was about 2008.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Yeah. We were going around with the Red versus Blue animated show, which ended up in season 14 of Red versus Blue. It was like a GI Joe said in a morning style cartoon for RVB, that was what we were taking out to TV and gonna keep the web show where it was. One of the places we went was Spike TV and they told us, after we pitched it
Starting point is 00:38:24 and we even said, you know, I think at that point, Mashable.com had said that we had the most male audience online. We were 93% male viewers and 7% female at that time. According to Mashable. And so he said, yeah, so this is Spike TV, the network for men, that's something we're gonna bring up in this meeting that we have a really male audience.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And they're like, yeah, we're not really, we're not really like trying to make programs for young men anymore because we don't know, they don't watch TV, we don't know where they went. I'm like, we kinda know where they went. And they said, yeah, we're really, our demographic that we're focused on now is women over 40. Is that what it was?
Starting point is 00:39:01 Right? Yeah, I was crazy. The guy said it, very straight face. Right TV, the network for women over 40? Yeah, it was crazy. The guy said it very straight face. TV. The network for women over the 40. Yeah, it was nuts. And like they they were just doing lead ups to like syndicated shows that they had. Right. They would take shows from networks. I just thought that one was crazy. They were both starting in 2003. Because if at that time, you had gone back and placed a bet on which entertainment company with a name that was a euphemism for penis, would have lasted longer.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I think you would have. Dude probably said Spike TV. So I just, I had, and I hope this is true and I don't debunk this, that you British people over here. I had such a revelation reading about something, because I'm working on this medial thing right now and I was thinking, I wanna go back and watch Holy Grail because I love Holy Grail so much. Money Python, is that a dick reference?
Starting point is 00:39:48 Cause Monty and Python? Is it like naked dick? I don't think so. Wow. And I never realized that. I think it was about something, but I'm not sure if, I mean, that's, you know, like, That means like naked Python, right?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Is that the slide? It's still in the back. I'm like, I should know that. I feel like I failed some sort of test here. Right. There was but. I'm like, I should know that. I feel like I've failed some sort of test here. Right. There was something that I was like, I looked at, I was like, oh, I don't feel so fucking bad about Rishi now.
Starting point is 00:40:10 At least Rishi Teeth was a nod to that early audience. Yeah, but Rishi Teeth isn't the penis. No, it's not. The penis getting bitten. It's like a level beyond penis. It's cockpite, yeah. Yeah, we turned the- I don't think no, I don't think it landed.
Starting point is 00:40:24 We can stop that penis joke. Well, there was even a moment in which I even thought I we could name the company Cock bite productions, but I didn't want people to get credit card charges from cock bite.com. Appreciate it. As a 14 year old, I appreciate that. So that's where Rishi's came from. We didn't sell that cock bite shirt once. Remember that and the kid got suspended or something. Wasn't that a 69 shot? Oh, this is. No, it's not that too. I think we've a cock bite shirt once. Remember that and the kid got suspended or something? Wasn't that a 69 shot?
Starting point is 00:40:46 Oh, this is pretty good. No, it's not that too. We've gotten a bunch of weird suspension notifications. One kid got suspended for the blowered shirt. That's right. And another kid got suspended for wearing the Blue Army shirt because it was a racist gang. The teacher was like, I know what that is. That's a racist gang.
Starting point is 00:41:04 You can't wear that shirt here, you go, no, it's a web comic that I watch. It's Blue Army, it's one of the teams on the thing. And she's like, no, she's suspended for not taking off his racist shirt. And to the stand up someone with the Blue Army, what they were trying to reference that. I got an answer for you on that.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Oh, you go for it. So, Monty Python, it doesn't mean anything. Yeah, but John Clees and Michael Paling were given the task of coming up with the name, and they didn't basically, they didn't do it for ages. The first they came up with absurd names like algae banging hour, toad elevating moment, and the horse is spoon in a bucket, but the BBC rejected all of them and they were getting very upset. So they decided on flying circus first and then they just thought Monty Python was a funny
Starting point is 00:41:40 name. Huh, sure. That's what they say. Sounds like the South Park. The South Park thing. Yeah, it. That's what they say. Sounds like the South part. The more into you. Yeah, it's out of the more into you. It's out of the South part thing where every time they went to the MPA, they kept getting
Starting point is 00:41:50 rejected and you know, for their R rating, they wanted to give them the NC17 rating. And so they just kept coming back with something that was more euphemistic, but way, way dirtier in every single cut. And eventually, after they submitted enough cuts, the MPA was like, okay, fine. You're fine. Okay, show. And they would just make it worse every time. That's the story that they tell.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Was there, so was, yeah, was 2003 just a year of those kinds of names, because now that you, I mean, we're, you mentioned Hooters Air earlier and Hooters is just. Then an airline. Hooters restaurant had an airline. Yeah, because if like, you're not making money with girls in skimpy clothing, serving chicken wings, it's crazy. Put it on a plane. Where did that fly? I mean, I guess it was like
Starting point is 00:42:30 it was like, it's like self-carrying line at a fort waterdale. It's like the only flight that that who did it was like it only ran during spring break. I mean, not put the windows in the middle of the oh, by the way, how do you miss that design? I mean, the owls looking through the double o's. Oh, by the way, those are o's. So with the stuff on the way, how do you miss that design? I mean, the owls looking through the double o's. Oh, by the way, those are o's. Those are o's. So with the stuff on the plane, dressed like the waitresses? You can imagine. I get, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:53 I think the- Otherwise, you're gonna get really upset, customer. I paid good money for this ticket. I can't see the outside of the plane from in here. You know when you land somewhere, they tell you the time zone change. Who does the age of consent? They just- You like it when you land somewhere, they tell you the time zone change. Who do there's the age of consent? They just like, you like to wake up with your land.
Starting point is 00:43:07 If you look at your land, you'll see 17. We're not entering a 50 key. You just imagine how messy one of those flights must have been. Well, it's what's wrong with you. It was just like all those lights. Like, like an old plane. We played just like, we saw us everywhere. Oh, it's wrong with you.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Because that's what they have. They're not gonna serve peanuts or serving like hot wings to everybody. And there's turkey and luster just hot wingsaws everywhere. As soon as I had a business now, the restaurant. No, the other one's the airline's that business. How do you get fried chicken wings so wrong?
Starting point is 00:43:40 How do they manage that, do you think? They spent too much time on their aviation plans. It's really incredible like how bad those chicken wings are. To me, we have a restaurant in Austin, very nice family restaurant pluckers, right? They're the family restaurant pluckers, which is a chicken wing place. It has thrived in Austin.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Is it a family restaurant? And I think it's a guy named plucker. I don't know. Do you think that that would... They would try to get the rooster to not get worried about. Maybe the airline was a mistake. Like someone was researching wings and they accidentally missed the rope of the computer.
Starting point is 00:44:10 It's a great idea. It's an DIC to planes and just use hot bar between them. And that's it. What was their size sauce called? The nuclear? The control room's being very quiet. I know you guys go to Hooters. What was the name of their very spicy sauce at Hooters?
Starting point is 00:44:24 Who are you calling out? Eric,uhr. Why me? Because they had like WWE night at Hooters and I'm sure you showed up for that. I've been to Hooters like twice ever, dude. How was it? How was it? It was weird. I went with like, I worked at an IT job and the guys were like real into it and I was uncomfortable. It's real uncomfortable. It was an uncomfortable restaurant. What was the restaurant that Joel and Jack used to get to every day? Oh shit. It was like, not true luck.
Starting point is 00:44:52 It was. Twin Peaks. That takes me. That was close. It was one of those. Yeah, I was right around the corner from the old office. It's where I watched Obama get inaugurated. That's the saddest thing.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Daddy's, booms in food. It's like, the hell was like tops and bottoms. Yeah. inaugurated. That's the daddies thing. Daddy's food. Oh, what the hell was like tops and bottoms? Yeah, like that. What? Yes. I think I went to bikinis with both of them. Who said that? It's not me. It's someone else here. They know all this. So what was the hottest off the hooters for God's sake? Somebody tell me for Okay, so the last one on the 2003 businesses that failed. Strange your head.
Starting point is 00:45:30 No, what was it? It was a 2004 business that failed. 2003 failed business of the decade. Trump mortgage. I'm not here really. Yeah. But it did last a full four years. Good for him. A whole presidential top. That's right. Get the hell out of here, really. Yeah, but it did last a full four years.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Good for him. A whole presidential term. That's right. You fuck up a mortgage business. I mean, Eatin' to me, Wang's probably. So they went under in 2007. So he was ahead of the curve before 2008
Starting point is 00:45:55 when everything crashed. Yeah. God, that was fucking crazy. So what you're saying is that of all the companies that started in 2003, Rujaji's. He's the greatest of all time, would you say? It's one of them. All right, well, we'll remind everybody

I know. I know a guy that works in programming who has probably a lot more to say about this and I'm fresh out of tea. So I should probably tag out. Should I know? By L everybody. L.A. by L.A. by L.A. Chad, is that what you're saying? No, you work in programming. Is that what you're doing?
Starting point is 00:48:21 I would recommend the weird place. Chad checking in everybody. Say hi, Chad. Hey, how's it going? Did you enjoy the thing now that Ellie and I are just swapping out on podcast? Some day, Ellie. Well, Matt said yes. So when Gus was on his, what, now,
Starting point is 00:48:38 fifth week of vacation? Well, I'll kind of talk about this at some point. Did he, did he like go to you one day, Matt, and go, I'm going on vacation for four weeks? It was hit two weeks ago. No. No, he wasn't here for the live podcast. That was last week.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Are you okay? Yeah. How long has Gus been gone? Two weeks. Now, four weeks. Okay, five weeks. Five weeks, there we go. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:00 It's been about a year. It's too long. It's too long. I agree. When Jeff Dugas sabbatical, Eric, he got alcohol been about a year. It's too long. It's too long. I agree. When Jeff took a sabbatical, Eric, he got alcoholism like a man. That's why he took it. And they have Gus just fucking filing your report
Starting point is 00:49:13 and saying, I'm going, I'm leaving for a month and a half, six months, whatever he's been gone at this point. I just missed Gus. I'm sorry. It's okay. That's why I'm here, professionally filling in. So, Gab, you're saying what's the weird place. Yeah, what's the weird place? But, don't, well, yeah, because the end,
Starting point is 00:49:30 the fine leapsed that hasn't come out yet, so you're good to see all of it. No! Look at you, so close. The good marketing strategy, yeah. And then you'll have to sign up. There was something else to you that I thought was weird timing for this.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I forget what it was now. Anyway, Matt, would you recommend everybody watch? All of those things. timing for this effort. Can't what it was. Anyway, Matt, would you recommend everybody watch? All of those things. Genlock the docs, weird place, hunter. You can watch the movie, what laser team blood vest, watch both of those. Hey, back to diminished our own promotion here.
Starting point is 00:49:59 But did YouTube make laser team public for everybody? Like there was our time. Yeah, there was, I saw a weird article about that too, but I don't think they did. Steph is coming in. That's coming in. Very important document for you, Matt. You want to sign a contract?
Starting point is 00:50:10 Seriously? Someone's going to be blown up. That contract. This is great. One day will be. Thank you. One day will know what it was. No, be sure.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I'm a cage. Is that a document? It's big. I know I sign that one digitally the other day, but I thought that might come back. Yeah, or maybe like, but that was just a contract for her to get a raise and she's sprung it on you in the podcast. So you wouldn't read it.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Steph, should we be worried that you're running out of here? It's really is. Yeah, she signed it and then bolted. That was her own raise, wouldn't it? Yeah. Anyway, so we've turned over the company to Hooters Air. You know, if you guys like through my L Island hot sauce. That was Gus' approval for a two month vacation.
Starting point is 00:50:48 That's what that was. I wanna keep that in mind. We never need something signed real quick. Just bring it on man on a bug. I have a theory about Gus. Is that he doesn't tell anybody in advance what he's gonna do so that you won't notice like how egregious he's being with stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Like I'm gonna get dates on this and I'm gonna figure it out exactly. I need to- I need to- I need to- I need to- I need to- What's an acceptable modification?
Starting point is 00:51:16 Well, two weeks is extreme. I knew that he was gonna go like a month ago, dude. You did Eric. Yeah, I knew. How did you know what I didn't know? Because he said, Hey, I'm gonna be gone for these podcasts. How many podcasts? Like six? This one and last week. Yeah. Well guys, if you know what I didn't know? Because he said, hey, I'm gonna be gone for these podcasts. How many podcasts, like six?
Starting point is 00:51:25 Two, this one and last week. Yeah, well guys, if you're watching at home, thank you for tuning in. Gus will be back next week, and we can't wait. He's playing lands at 4 p.m. on Monday. I feel like a lot of people stretching it out. A lot of people take vacation, but you only care when it's Gus.
Starting point is 00:51:40 I do. I don't want him to be happy. I feel like it's been, well, you're winning. I know. What happens't want him to be happy. I feel like it's bad. You're winning. What happens if Gus comes back and he's rested and fresh faced? What's the good point? Give it a day. Yeah, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It's all asking him about his exact dates and then it'll be all right. Pist off of you. I'll make him have one conversation with like Max and Christina John Rice in your, and he'll be like, you're a damn mute. All these young people suck you away his energy. Nope. with like Max and Christina John Rice in your, and it'll be like, you got damn you, all these young people suck you away his energy. Nope. I needed him for an end screen.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And no one seemed to know when he was coming back because when I was like, I needed a first sense, it's in the system. Like there's a tool that we have where you have to request. Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I'm sure he did it. I told him that it never, I can never get my sign in to work. So I don't see when he's requested vacation time. But he's very like meticulous about actually putting it in. So it's just, I don't know, I'm sure he put it in there and I just missed it. Speaking of which, oh, I wonder if it might be our fault. So way back, Craig didn't want to deal with the proving people's PTO. And I was like, I'll handle that because I did a lot of the HR stuff for Scrutzackack and we tried to get it set up in the system
Starting point is 00:52:47 that Craig was the report team manager but all the requests went through me and at one point they were like, when I checked in I was like, what's going on with that? They were like, oh, we tried to do it and actually Matt lost the ability to see anyone's stuff and then they were like, so we're not gonna do that. So we're not gonna be that, why?
Starting point is 00:53:02 You just made it on camera? I thought they said, but then they said they weren't were gonna go through that I never got access to how do you even figure it out a way to break Something like this is like not even I don't know. It's like a bad. No, I don't see anybody Chad No, it's a huge let's do a proof of this vacation. No, I didn't get to see any of it How long of a vacation would you approve for Gus? Like, what would you go away? Well, I'd approve just like, you know, retirement.
Starting point is 00:53:32 That's the dream. That's the dream, just that can infinitum. I think we should give that responsibility to the newest employee, at all times. Approvals? Yeah. Pvals? Yeah. PTO approvals. That's like a interesting way to, although that, that, that, that, that switch.
Starting point is 00:53:48 That's kind of like, now it might make things tough. That might be great actually. Like the newest employee should approve all your vacations. Oh. Like that would be, that would be their responsibility. Like the intern. Apparently Chad approves my vacations now. I guess?
Starting point is 00:54:03 I don't know. No, I never got access to it. So I assume they reverted everything back and we were fine. Who's the, yeah, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, So I assume they reverted everything back and we were fine. Who's they who's the yeah, who's I'm sorry they chart still too fake I don't remember names in a while Do I still work? Okay, we say Glens name plan. It's probably glensfulture I don't know if there anyone else under this bus before it hits me Speaking of which I almost got I almost died this morning. What?
Starting point is 00:54:26 I was on the highway and I'm sure you've had this where a semi is changing lanes to right next to you and you really think like, what if they don't stop? That happened. So I had a concrete divider on my right side and then the semi comes over and then I'm clearly like all you have to do is look in his mirror and he can see me 100% and then the blinker's still on and it just starts coming and I'm like no there's no way this is actually happening. So I just like slam on my horn and he keeps coming over and so I go over to the right as far as I can and my mirror taps the concrete divider as I'm slamming on the brakes and the horn and then I finally
Starting point is 00:55:01 sees me and then backs off and I just like had a terrifying moment. But all I had was a tiny little scuff on my mirror, but there's a point where like his tires were literally about to touch my car and I was about to hit their concrete, but yeah. You should have had one of those really low cars and like gone under. I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Like fast and furious style. I did have that moment because the tires were right here and I was like, I'm hitting the brakes and I'm going back and I'm like, but should I speed up and try and get under it? It wouldn't work. You probably would just like, I'll cut the shave the top of your car off as it came over. Yeah, if cartoons have taught me anything, it's that.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Luckily, exactly. Luckily in Austin, traffic is never going faster than about 15 miles per hour. Right, an important time. That's a little bit. If you're on the freeway, I'm assuming you were in bumper to bumper. Oh God, no one ever speeds here. I know that sounds terrible.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I can't add that. I'll teach you, there's a car to in bumper to bumper. Oh God, no one ever speeds here. I know that sounds terrible. I can't, I've got you. There's a car to be done here. I know, you can. People drive like maniacs. Houston, two man. Right, and then you come down here and it's like, listen, five over is acceptable, okay?
Starting point is 00:55:54 Five over is like my go to, but they all drive five under down here and it's just infuriating. Have you been going, like I've been going 85 in the left lane in Dallas, highways, and get honked. Oh, people ride your ass in the morning. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah, yeah. Is this speed limit? Is 85 the speed limit, Dallas? No, God, no, everything's like 60. Oh, is it about the fuck I didn't care? Yeah. Huge is like turn signals don't exist in Houston. That's just, in fact, I still do the same thing.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Turn signals are optional. Like if someone criticized me for not using a turn signal, change lanes, I'm like, but you don't have to. You actually do need to do that. You need to signal your changes. I was like, oh, we didn't learn that in Houston. I know, yeah, I was like, I'm coming over her for you. Look at the idea with body language.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Like, if you don't want to turn in your blanket, you can roll out your window, you can put your hand on it. You can do the sign. This is turning right, and this is turning left. So you just need to turn to that bike. I find that's harder than it seems. Like, you don't think you take your hands off the handlebars, but leaving one hand on the handlebars
Starting point is 00:56:50 and doing machinations like the machirino over here, it's like it does fuck with my balance a little bit. It's waving. Now like this, no, with the stop. And this one's easy. How fast are you going? This way. If you're gonna, more than five miles an hour,
Starting point is 00:57:03 it doesn't really have the much effect. You got, if you've got the one hand on, then you get a little bump and you can only compensate with one hand. The secret is, it's your fucking bike. I got so mad at bikes when I'm in the car, but when I'm on a bike, I just say, look, fuck it, every other bike in the world
Starting point is 00:57:18 pretends like there are pedestrian when it's convenient. I'm gonna do the same fucking thing. Okay, the car thing crossed the car. The car thing in the turn signal. Yeah. JD just had his driver's license much better driver than I am. Right. If you had to go back and take the written portion of the driver's test, how do you think you would do? Oh, I'd feel. I'd probably feel. So I have actually something that
Starting point is 00:57:37 happened this weekend. Uh, JD scored higher than me on the SAT. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And the way I told him that was he told me to score. And I was like, that's 20 points higher than me on the SAT. Oh yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. And the way I told him that was he told me to score. And I was like, that's 20 points higher than I got on the SAT. Should have done that submitting weakness. No, I didn't. I go, oh, we got the same score.
Starting point is 00:57:52 No, I lied to him. I lied to my husband. In the kitchen. I just, this is the first time I've admitted it. Even to myself that he got gained from lying. Just dominance. I don't know, you know, just, I mean, I don't want him to think he can take me in my sleep or something like that.
Starting point is 00:58:07 But yeah, straight up, I straight up fucking lied to him. No, when you have kids, like, you need them to think that you know more than they do because if they don't, it's just endless arguments. Oh, yeah, that could say what, like blindly folly anymore. They'd just say something like, we should do this and you're like,
Starting point is 00:58:19 no, I feel like, oh, my daughter's already there and she's six. Uh-oh. So there's the whole, I'm playing the story about the goblin. I'm playing the story about guy was playing the game. No, the guy was playing the cop. I think I told this on topic actually,
Starting point is 00:58:30 but so we've always taught, you know, Kierta, like I question everything, right? You know, like that guy, like I try to get to come in this one. Yeah. I did tell you, Dan, you tell us in the live podcast, didn't you? I don't know, I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I mean, I heard it. I don't need to tell you because I don't want to, you know, if I was saying long story short, she thinks God was a real, and she argued with need to tell you because I don't want to like, you know, ever seen long story short, she thinks Goblins are real. And she argued with me to the ground. And when I finally was like, scientists would have found out Goblins are real. And she's like, well, they didn't think dinosaurs are real
Starting point is 00:58:52 until they found their bones. So they haven't found their bones yet, Goblins are real. And I like, I just didn't know it. I got nothing. I got nothing. What did Goblin bones look like? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Dinosaur bones. But it's more. It's doing they'll find them. And then my daughter will be right. So I would not do well on the driver's test, I'm pretty sure. Mike, could you do another one? I failed it once.
Starting point is 00:59:13 I failed it when I moved to California. Yeah, I had like let my license lapse. And so I just walled it and I was like, I'll just keep my license real quick. And all the things about, you know, when you use turn signal, what color are the curbs and all that stuff, I failed it by like one question. I couldn't believe it as an adult.
Starting point is 00:59:30 It seems like you shouldn't. Like once you've gotten over that hump, it's like I was doing geometry with my kid, you know, this weekend, and it's like, I don't know how to do geometry. Nope, I had to do it. But that makes sense because you haven't need us to do it in so long, but you drive every day. I know, but I like to read and portion like, I can drive, I'm to do it. But that makes sense because you haven't needed to do it in so long, but you drive every day. I know, but I like the written portion like I can drive and I drive.
Starting point is 00:59:49 You know, but we are now, we have auto pilot cars, so it's like how much money we even need to drive. But everyone says it's still no excuse for not being able to drive. No, sure, but the written portion of the test, it's like, there's more stuff like how far back, here's his question I remember missing. How far back, here's his question I remember missing. How far back, 500? No, far from a railroad track, it's crossing, do you need to stop?
Starting point is 01:00:13 At the white line. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, Part of that. It was just, you failed, get out, come back later. Think about what you've done. Yeah. I know I made the right call by lying to my son because, as he said, I got this score on the SATA.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I said, we got the same score. I got the exact same score. Total lie. And I go, and that's your first time. I go, I took it once as well. And I got that score, which was enough that I wanted to get into Notre Dame and that was high enough for me to get in. But I was still 20 points lower than we set this.
Starting point is 01:01:11 And then he got us, oh, well, probably when you were going to college, that was a good score. I was like, fuck you. Whoa. Yeah, so he's like facing down of just like, it really is very different. As an example, University of Texas,
Starting point is 01:01:25 I did not even apply to go to UT, which is a school that I went to. I applied to go to Notre Dame. I grew up in a Notre Dame family. I was a Notre Dame kid. I was gonna go to Notre Dame. I got, took all my courses in high school in order to like exactly what Notre Dame wanted,
Starting point is 01:01:38 like including physics and the AP courses that they wanted. Did all that, got the score on the SAT they wanted. And my dad was an alum. He's got one of his masters at Notre Dame, and applied and I got a Notre Dame. And then my parents, after all that, go, yeah, we can't afford to send him. And it was gonna be $21,000 a year.
Starting point is 01:01:55 It was gonna be $22,000 a year if I wanted, there's money in this, what is this? What is just materialized money? Hey, now you can get another name. It's like a fake hundred. Why does that guy look like James Franco? Big fat James Franco here. That's your hundred dollars.
Starting point is 01:02:08 So a hundred, fake hundred dollar bill in the chair. But my parents, That's my bonus. They said I couldn't afford to go. So then I was like, this is in, I think, April of my senior year, I'm about to graduate. And there was a rule in Texas that if you were in the top 10% of your class
Starting point is 01:02:26 for your high school class, then you were automatically accepted in the UT. And that's how I got in. I was just automatically accepted to UT even though I never replied to go there. Well, that worked out pretty well for you guys. It's now like 6% top 6%. Because you know, just got a student loan to go there. I could have. And I ended up paying from like after I switched majors in my Second semester of my junior year my parents were like, well, we're not gonna fucking pay for you going to computer science After you've been pre-med for three years. So I had to pay for the labs and undergrad for six years because I switched majors and I ended up paying Most of it on like credit cards and stuff like that Matt watch me when we live together after college
Starting point is 01:03:01 I paid off $21,000 in credit card debt in one year. Geez. Yeah. It was intense. I had a tech job coming out. And so I just like stayed in the same city apartment with the $25 couch that Matt and I bought our last year in college. Just to avoid interest.
Starting point is 01:03:16 I just stayed there and just like paid it off. Yeah, the absolute worst college couch. It literally was $25. At least $25. We bought from like across the street. And so just across the street. Not a place like it was just there. And there was a guy. And so we had to like just pick it up and like carry the couch like down the street.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Down Riverside Drive. Yeah, down Riverside, yeah. Well, we're seeing the couch. Yeah, we're seeing the couch. But does that make it better? Not a couch that anyone one wants to see. That must make it better than when you look back on that. And wait, I haven't seen your house now.
Starting point is 01:03:51 I assume it's nice, but to like remember that moment. Still have that catch. There you go. I don't know what happened that catch. I don't know. That was the weird apartment. It was, yeah. There's a photo.
Starting point is 01:04:00 This little date, it was a Polaroid photo of me and Joel sitting on the carpet eating pizza because we didn't have furniture. So we're just sitting like in the living room. Here, we got a picture of the couch actually. It's on this stone tablet. It's a while. It survived all these years. But speaking of your wife tweeted out a photo
Starting point is 01:04:21 of you guys graduating college. I saw. Yeah. That was 1997. Yeah, it was out of West graduating college. I saw. Yeah. That was a 1997. Yeah, it was. Yeah, yikes. Yeah, I was. You're rocking a you're rocking a bitch in necklace there, Matt. I know, right? That's why 90s. There it is. That's a fashion right there. Is that your TCB necklace? It was. Yeah. You know, the TCB. I made that necklace. Oh, it's also a guitar string.
Starting point is 01:04:43 For the word. It's not the how. Did you have a widow's peak? That's the, that's the, what do you call this? hats, the mortar board. Mortar board. That's the hat. It's the graduation hat. I can't even look like I have a widow's peak. But he actually does have a widow's peak. Yeah, I always have a little bit. I also wear 100% of my weight in my face.
Starting point is 01:05:01 The, I'm always been that way. I was talking about Josh today. He was saying that like we were talking about the diabetes thing because that's what Josh talks about. And he was saying that people who are pretty supposed to diabetes are people who wear their weight in their trunk. Like if they get like a big spare tire, they're more, that's what he said. So you want it up in your face.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Yeah, I mean, I've always had like, you're not gonna get face diabetes. What's I mean, I've always had like, you know, face diabetes. You're not going to get face diabetes? What's that? I come from Jowley's style. You have to have diabetes. Jowley's style. That was to be how terrible diagnosed this with my doctor.
Starting point is 01:05:34 What's wrong with my face? You have face diabetes. There's no cure yet for facial diabetes. Cool. There's the title. Face diabetes. Face diabetes. But, there's the title. Face Diabetes. Face Diabetes.
Starting point is 01:05:46 But your TCB necklace, we recently learned that the TCB Lightning Bolt, do you know where that comes from? Yes, to me. Yeah, Elvis. Yeah, but do you know where he got inspired by? To make that. Oh, no. To Sam.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Oh, thank you. Oh, to Sam. The Lightning Bolt. Yeah, that's cool. And they even liked the little cape that he wore on stage and later on his career, Elvis. The Lightning Bolt Shuffle. All based on Captain Marvel's to Sam. Yeah, that's cool. And even like the little cape that he wore on stage and later in his career Elvis All based on Captain Marvel. She's in a lot of people in the chat who weren't born when that picture was a Taken The first comments on this guy was not
Starting point is 01:06:17 All of these old books. I was born in 98 So how long until someone is hired that was born off to the company side? Where are you talking? Yeah, I tweeted about this the other day. It's, well, we're now 16 years. So I think within the next two to three years, someone will come probably the internship program at UT,
Starting point is 01:06:39 someone will come to work here at the office within the next two to three years who was born after the company started. That's insane. We're that close to it at this point. Pretty fucking close. work here at the office within the next two to three years, who was born after the company started. That's insane. Where that close to it at this point, pretty fucking close. Very awesome. Well, I just saw at the all hands that I've been here for five years apparently.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I think they counted my full screen time, but like time with Screw It's Act 10 and then that fight, like it just kind of flew by as well. Man, Eric, you're really sprung on your budget there for this set to color. I love that when you're talking with him. That's a good time. All right. Please be careful with my set decorations. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Here, you want a $1? This guy doesn't bend here for a few weeks. I feel like he's doing Adred like him. So, okay, guys, I'm gonna read this advertisement. Mailed it. How'd I do? Set the perfect Gus Segway of all times? Thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Been sitting here for 580 podcasts, I got it right. Welcome back, Gus. We missed you after four months of being gone. This episode of The RISC Podcast is brought to you by ExpressVPN. Admit it. You think that Cybercrime is something that happens to other people.
Starting point is 01:07:39 You may think that no one wants your data or that hackers can't grab your passwords or credit card details, but you would be wrong. Stealing data from unsuspecting people on public Wi-Fi is one of the simplest and cheapest ways for hackers to make money. When you leave your internet connection unencrypted, you might as well be writing your passwords and credit card numbers on a huge billboard for the rest of the world to see. That is why Gus uses ExpressVPN.
Starting point is 01:08:01 He decided to take action to protect himself from cybercriminals. He uses ExpressVPN. He decided to take action to protect himself from cyber criminals. He uses ExpressVPN.

They have easy to use apps that run seamlessly in the background of your computer, phone, or tablet. For less than $7 a month, you can get the same ExpressVPN protection that Gus, who is the smartest person in the world, has for himself.
Starting point is 01:08:26 So what's this e-thing now with, there's other things you can do VPNs for like, there's just, what's the rule that is just passing the e-mail? Article 13. So now, if you want to like to say, hey, I live in America and I can make memes and do these fun things, then you can use a VPN service to do that theoretically, right? So if Brexit happens, do you need a VPN to be in England and look at stuff from Europe or vice versa? I mean, I guess, but there's already stuff like that, like BBC eye player and stuff you have to be from the UK.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Well, regardless, you can protect your online activity today and find out how you can get three months of free of ExpressVPN at expressvpn.com slash rooster.

What are you saying? But if your people are in a murder? Nothing, I've been looking at it and we have a lot of money. el reto de aprender más. You know, that's why no one saw his PTO requests because he was using a VPN. That's probably what it was.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I thought it was like, it's too anonymous. Gus was too well protected. I broke the system for Matt. One of the two. I'm going to go. Yeah, it's your fault. My, my degree is in computer science and I, I, Adam and Gus are the only people that I trust for when it comes to security, for anything at all.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Yeah. I have to admit, I'm woefully behind on my VPN-ness. I should have that by now and I just don't. If you had the... say there was a feature when you start a company, you can sign up for something where like a big gong noise goes off when you're exactly halfway through your company's life. Would you want that feature? But you just say to your desk, it's like, oh, God,
Starting point is 01:10:26 what's going to happen? How many years has it been? Jeff texted us, um, happy anniversary this morning, and I just wrote back halfway there. Yeah, be crazy if it's not even halfway yet. What? It's in your open. It doesn't last more than 32 years. No, I mean halfway. I would be crazy if we're not at the halfway point yet. And then you're in Craigslist laughter. Didn't instill a lot of confidence. And the people sitting on the couch, like we're at halfway.
Starting point is 01:10:59 So the company can't possibly last more than 30 years. No, I guess I don't know how long these companies lost. Well, hopefully we know how far. Warner Brothers is 96. Fat play. I'm just gonna keep up with the memes. Yeah. As someone who did not found this company
Starting point is 01:11:17 or Slamo guys, I'm very uncomfortable. Why? Because I would like to continue to have employment. That's very important to me and my dependent. It's a guy I will show you pictures of after the show. Not just keep identifying those great podcasts, title names like for the next 80s. And give everyone less PTO.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Yeah. I don't think I've used any of that in ages. Yes, maybe. PTO? I don't think so. Yeah. You have to don't maybe. PCO. I think so. Yeah. You also don't do your time sheets. I'll get to it.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Yeah, it's just a vulnerable part. Do it from the office. What, I hope everyone knows your having box must have gotten so much cleaner after a vulnerability. It's a bonus. If you mail you every day about your time. No, she would send out a shame list. It was a shameless.
Starting point is 01:12:03 And she would say, here's everyone who didn't felt their time sheets or time cards. Obviously. And the best thing about it was, if you were like weeks behind, she would put your name in like three or four times. One more time. So you could see like a scan it and go, wow, Gavin's got a huge section of six times here.
Starting point is 01:12:18 When she, when it was the holiday pie and she was retiring, she went around the party and giving her least like really hot felt moments to people and I heard a few of them to me. She had nice hot felt moment and she said do your time sheets. I probably have a list. You only had two missing on this one. I was good to see. It went out to all management, right? And so we would see these updates. And I remember once somebody on my team, I don't want to call them out, but they had forgot
Starting point is 01:12:48 to do theirs. It was like the first time that somebody had made it on, I was like, hey, just remember you got to do that. They're like, oh, I feel so bad. I'm like, don't feel so bad. Gavin's on here like seven times. I'm going to go see the last one on here that she sent out. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:13:00 It's been a while since she sent one. Have you noticed that Ivon set up a couple of automated things that I didn't know were automated? That she was sending out, yeah, the calendar stuff. And she was sending it out like, hey, keeping everyone up to date on what the calendar is. But then since she's retired, those emails keep showing up from her. She has to retire four years ago.
Starting point is 01:13:18 She only told Chad, it's super weird. But it's like get these emails from on that I realized, oh, she had automated all that stuff. I thought she was in her office, like diligently typing away. No, she was just hunting down Gavin. And she's, I'm gonna go and do more in her honor. It's just really annoying to do on your phone.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Were you ever, were you ever, okay, I made fun of the mom for automating it. I'm gonna ruin something for myself. I, my time sheets, because I just did a bunch of different stuff but they determined, it's for budgets and things. Like, I didn't want to sign my time to podcast and shorts and really, because we make the budgets go way up because they were taking like my percentage of the week.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Like, if I dedicated one day to the podcast and like one day every week of my salary, we'd go to that and it was like, they didn't calculate for that when they would do the budgets for stuff. So I said, Matt, can I just mark my stuff every week as executive, like 100% and then I just appear on the shows, like in the time that I have outside of that
Starting point is 01:14:16 because that's totally fine. So what I did was, I had what I had for me. I had to go through and I had to fill out the same thing every week though, it was like 100% of my time at the executive category. And I kept doing that every week and finally went to Adam Barrett's office and he's like,
Starting point is 01:14:29 hey, can you just, can you write me a little script that automates this? And he said, yes, but do not tell anyone that I did. What? And so for years, I had mine automated and then it got shut off. So now I feel okay about ranting them out.
Starting point is 01:14:42 He should not have done that. That was, that was not good. He didn't share the world with Gavin. Well, I was in his whole other place. Yeah. He's got like slow guy. He's got a cheetah hunter. Yeah, even guests, even some information. But that that shaving list was so serious that
Starting point is 01:15:01 when Ashley was on at one time and we had like a whole discussion about it at home. That was like, hey, you can't, you can't get on the shaming list. Once you get on there, you can't get off. That was some way she had more than I did. Yeah, there was one more real. It was like beating me. Yeah, I think that was the week we had the talk.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Yeah, like it's like, I remember even saying like, Gavin's only got two, you had three. I went three weeks without feeling of a time card. It's so silly. Those time cards are like contentious too, because we didn't have them until 2008, let's say 2009. This is our catch all year for everything at this point. But we got them. We don't have many arguments. Like I can count probably on one hand, like going all the way back to being a company, like
Starting point is 01:15:43 actually having like arguments with each other about stuff. There was one time I got really mad at Gus and Jeff, like year three, I was yelling, I was yelling in a parking lot somewhere. What? Who is? What?
Starting point is 01:15:57 This is not what you're gonna eat. No, what's in the way we're gonna eat? It was about, it was about, if I recall correctly, the conversation was about feedback. It was about like notes and feedback on our projects and the timeliness of that. And I can just hit a wall because it was like three,
Starting point is 01:16:09 she's seasoned straight. I'm just up all night and I was pretty angry. There was a big fight over time cards. Like one of the few things we got, like people got an argument over it was time cards and people didn't think that they should have to do either time cards. And it just turned this big fight over
Starting point is 01:16:23 for a bucket a little bucket, a little form. A little thing. That was a fight here. Yeah, which clearly Adam Baird can just automate it for you if you just, you know, and grease the wheels a little bit. But yeah, it's really weird the stuff that does cause fights. But over the like 16 years, that haven't been in like major creative battles
Starting point is 01:16:40 or what I'm actually, I think that I can think of. What I'm trying to do is I'm trying to stack up so many that one week, I wanna have the ability to select time sheets as what I'm actually that that I can think of what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to stack up so many that one week I want to have the ability to select time sheets as what I was doing that week That'd be a great idea dedicate like 20% of your week the time one week of day they'll have to create a new category It's just so you can build it. It's just so you still in the building
Starting point is 01:17:02 Maybe I wish you would come in oh man I wish you would come in and shame you all in person right now Access to the you know She knows all the secrets I'm sorry reading chat here and I'm getting lost in it that it's all the memes too It's like it's just Bernie's the time you punch Jeff. I'm like when did I punch you? I realized oh it's that was that a John Tron meme or something? That there was a fight and somebody got punched or something like that?
Starting point is 01:17:29 Maybe. It sounds vaguely familiar. No, nobody got punched. Nobody's ever punched. He did scuba on top of it once. Oh, that did make him mad. That wasn't the, that wasn't the very first short. God, that was funny.
Starting point is 01:17:41 We ever did. Wasn't the first short, it was that one the box. No, it was from the halo does oh that one No, I did hit him pretty hard Matt you hit him a bunch. I think it was the speed when I was like you don't need to hit my hard He was like yeah, I do funny. I Never hit it's funny. It's fine. You hit him pretty hard in that. Yeah, I hit him a bunch like No, I think the box went snapped his neck. I spit on him. I'm stuck there.
Starting point is 01:18:06 No, I think they're the box one. I spit in his face and he shoved him. I think the box one was the season finale of season one. I think. That's what I was. Oh my gosh. The time machine box. He said a school, but I just,
Starting point is 01:18:17 I held my nose and I went in backwards. Oh, right. And I laid it on him. And I was probably about 40 pounds heavier back then. So he was, I was in the back room and Jeff came in to sit down at his desk. And he was like, but he's happy dude. I'm always so fucking mad about it. Then he come in padding or was he like fuming?
Starting point is 01:18:32 No, he was just in pain. That box was just like a torture device between that and Shannon. I don't even know where we got that box. I think it was like a wood crate we found by the dumpster out by the New Old Office. So was that what it was? I felt like it was like something that we had ordered like Like part of a set or something it looked pretty fresh It didn't look like it was on the street for what we order a box. No, no, no
Starting point is 01:18:54 It's not or box, but the box was containing something we had ordered For Congress office. What would that be though? It's a wooden crate. I don't know. It's kind of equipment. I don't remember now. It's motty Is it my buddy? Allie? We assembled potty What would that be though? It's a wooden crate. I don't know, it's kind of equipment. I don't remember now. It's motty. Is it my turn? We've assembled motty. We've found the all in there. With our couch.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Yeah, no, it was couch couch. Do you remember the other thing we found in the all in we had for years? Gus. No, we had a cart. Remember that push cart that we had? It was the one that was wobbly. Because it was the reason why the hotel at Thorn and Out
Starting point is 01:19:21 is because the top bar was missing. And I was like, that's a good cart. What is like, pulled it inside and then we had that cart for probably like five or six years, man. Hey, you remember what else we found in the alley that was useful? Mary found the human turd and the torn up milk cart. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:37 That was thoughtful. Tastes terrible. That's a lot. You got to learn about having a downtown office and there's like piles of turd as well. There's a very popular restaurant Here that I I feel like I shouldn't name That uh, they used to have a six-street
Starting point is 01:19:55 Location and they were always getting broken into and then it went away And they have a bunch of other locations down But I remember talking to somebody from who worked at that location Who said yeah, they closed it up after they came to work coming in the back door and there was a bunch of other locations down, but I remember talking to somebody from who worked at that location who said, yeah, they closed it up after they came to work, coming in the back door and there was a dead body on the back door. Yikes. Damn.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Yikes. Who does here? Yeah. That'd be tough starting your work day. That'd be tough. Be worse than be the dead person. Yeah, a little bit, but well, it's over for them. They don't have to eat there.
Starting point is 01:20:24 We're, they don't have to eat there. They don't have to eat there. Nobody has to eat there. Yeah, I was like, why would Matt name the restaurant, but if they had a dead body in their entrance to their building, yeah, that'd be tough. You wouldn't wonder that. Also, Eric, the reason this fell down is you used masking tape. You didn't even use gaff tape.
Starting point is 01:20:40 It's paper chat, yeah. Yeah, it stays up pretty strong. Yeah, did it? Yeah, well, now that's wood on the back, if it would have been paper to yeah, it stays up pretty strong. Yeah, did it? Yeah, well now it's wood on the back If it would have been paper to paper would have been great. You have so much other tape. You're just bezel Oh somebody's there we go. Offerix 117 Offer 117 OFRX. Is that a Is that a, is that a Halo reference 117? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Some agent. Somebody who was like depressing travel thing that I talked about, but then didn't go back to. So I've always said, you know, you hear about long flights, you're worried about radiation. And I've always said, well, we know that like flying a lot doesn't cause cancer or exposure to a lot of radiations because if that were the case pilots and flight attendants would have an increased risk of cancer. And sure enough, Harvard just put out a study that says that US flight attendants at elevated risk of several forms of cancer.
Starting point is 01:21:38 US flight attendants have a higher prevalence of several forms of cancer, including breast cancer, uterine cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, when compared with the general public. So what? Yes. So they're still starting to lead suits. I don't know, man. Because that was the thing too.
Starting point is 01:21:54 It's like, I really think one of the things that that really put the no smoking thing over the hump was airlines and stewardesses having to, or flight attendants, I should say, having to be on these tin cans with people just smoking non-stop in them. And I really feel like that was a situation everyone can empathize with. And that was something that led to no smoking going away. But yeah, it's they're now they're now have a conclusive evidence according to Harvard. I trust Harvard.
Starting point is 01:22:18 They're good school. I couldn't afford to get there. They're no Notre Dame, but they're pretty good school. Yeah, and that was in the report published online in Environmental Health on June 25, 2018. Over the course of their careers, flood attendants are regularly exposed to several known and probable carcinogens, including cosmic ionizing radiation, disrupted sleep cycles, and circadian rhythms, and possible chemical contaminants in the airplane. More over cabin crews are exposed to largest effective annual ionizing radiation dose relative to all other radiation workers in the US
Starting point is 01:22:53 because of both their exposure to and lack of protection from cosmic radiation. But that's how the Fantastic Four was created. Yeah, in a comic. Yeah, they went up and they got hit by, were the cosmic ray? Cosmic ray? Yeah. So the guys in space must be bombarded with it. Yeah. Like the guys went a year in space. Yeah, they have more the edge of consent up there. They have more shielding
Starting point is 01:23:15 on on their stuff as well. But yeah, they, they, I mean, cosmic rays. As far as I know, they just pass through everything pretty much. And so you're going to get hit, but I guess it gets a little bit more diffused when it passes through stuff. So I don't know. I mean, I guess astronauts would be at a higher risk for cancer too if that's the case. It's mind blowing.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Especially the dude who was up there for a year, you know. Not really messed him up. Like if you read about that guy now, he can't see well and it really just messed up his whole body. But that was kind of the purpose of putting him up there, right? Which figure out what the long term to face is that? What the fuck is going on? He's the purpose of this mission.
Starting point is 01:23:51 We were gonna fuck this guy off. You know, for a year. Yeah, he has so many problems. He doesn't have diabetes of his face. Did he start to decline when he was on the space station or was it just on his return? Like could he go back to the space station and be fine? No, I think it.
Starting point is 01:24:06 What pole did they put up? Wait a minute. So like he just acclimated to space. So he's always your thing. So he went back. There he's okay, but on earth he's bad. Right. Like it's he's now he's grea- he's gravitized.
Starting point is 01:24:19 He's gravitized. So it's like, that's like a sad science fiction movie. So he's gotta go back to space to survive. Yeah. He did that movie. The space between us, there's something like that. I like a sad science fiction movie. So you just gotta go back to space to survive. Yeah. You did that movie. The space between us, there's something like that. I have to live in space now. It's a pun.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Like you want to come back and see your family, but now you've, you've acclimatized where you can only stay alive in space. Yeah. So you have to leave your little like daughter and your wife behind. You watch these fans? It's a sad man. That's a sad movie. You watch these fans? I have not seen these fans. It's a show. So I think it's side by side. That's a sad movie. You want to see spants? I have not the spants to show so I think it's side by show
Starting point is 01:24:48 They have I think I'm thinking about the right one. They've got three major territories. They have Mars Earth and then Arrows it's asteroid so the people who live there are used to living in very low gravity And there's even like torture scenes where they bring them to earth and they just basically have to deal with earth's gravity and they're not used to being in it. And that's the way they torture someone for interrogation. Right, any, that what he said he wants to do and that is like his whole game plane Yeah, we've got checking that the last man Like you like you see him like you think he's getting on the spaceship
Starting point is 01:25:35 It takes off and then like camera like we have so many in the corner going sorry I saw that thing about that one guy. They fucked him up real good I'm not going up Be great to if you like. I want to get it acclimatized up there. He timed it perfectly where he lands on Mars, steps off the rocket, and then he's fucking car lands. We lost.
Starting point is 01:25:52 And then he just gets in it like one smooth motion and drives away on Mars. That'd be so fucking dope. How do you wish you were opinion of Elon Musk? He's crazy. I don't think, I mean, I really appreciate Elon Musk. This could sound like I'm like a Tesla. I'm gonna invite him on the show. We'll see if we can find him.
Starting point is 01:26:08 We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him.
Starting point is 01:26:16 We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him.
Starting point is 01:26:24 We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll see if we can find him. We'll the guy's gonna sue him and he'll get some money, good for him, you know? But this is the guy who's like doing all the stuff that billionaires you hope are gonna do with their money. You know, I think he's trying to figure out ways, he's fucking taking rockets off and landing them back on a bar somewhere in the middle of the ocean, you know, and figuring out ways to do that in ways that our government is not able to figure it out.
Starting point is 01:26:39 And they release their patents on the electric car stuff. Pretty cool. Yeah, he released all of Tesla's patents. Is that where all the glitter went? That's where all the glitter, he's buying all the glitter. From a guest, yeah. He's selling it to some Mars. Dude, that would be great.
Starting point is 01:26:51 That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great.
Starting point is 01:26:58 That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. That would be great. come back and to make that decision, it takes like a certain kind of person, fairies of it like, well, I fucked up my life here, better start over.
Starting point is 01:27:07 And that's gonna be the new basis for a new, what colony? But, is that every colony? That's what I was gonna say. Then you think of it, it's like everyone who, you know, went to discover the new world. Yeah. It was kind of a savage.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Yeah. And I guess that's how new colonies oppose. The British perspective of this. Yeah, all the colonists, everyone who left was a savage. All the columnists. Everyone who left was a savage. All my people. As I say, you chose to come over here, guys.
Starting point is 01:27:29 It was a little bit before my time. Like, we were already stabilized by that. Gavin let all the savages come into all the work for them. And they're colonies. But it's true, like any pioneer is an absolute lunatic. Mm-hmm. I'll take a beer. Oh, we're coming to the end of the podcast.
Starting point is 01:27:44 But Gus isn't here, so we can stay late. Can we stay late Matt? We're at your full-time cards. Eric love that. Can we stay late? Hey, we're also supposed to talk about RTX. There's an ad read for it But RTX is a convention that we have every year. So let's talk about RTX We're gonna have karaoke this year. Are we really let me see if there's anything in here that we talk about It's just head over to now. We're gonna carry on the about. We should start singing right now, because we know how much broadcast enjoys that and just keep singing until we get to RTX. Yes.
Starting point is 01:28:11 Oh, you said about our takes a share. We're talking about panels. I'm going to have a lot of panels this year, I think. Yeah. I got a panel. I think with a special guest we've got coming. Uh, I've got our key podcast. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:28:24 Got another version of the panel,, live action and shorts and stuff like that. And then now it looks like there's a potential, another one that we're doing, that's just one of my favorite panels, we're going to do that as well. So I'm pretty stacked with panels on this. Which I personally think that's what I would like to see RKX do more and more of. It's more and more panels just because, you know, I do like the individual stuff of seeing people in an autograph line,
Starting point is 01:28:45 but it's always very efficiency minded during our test day about multiple people. Right, because there's so many people. And it's like, if it takes two hours to meet about a hundred people in an autograph session or a 120 that's in that exact, in an efficient use of time in that respect. Right, and if you multiply that by the number of people that have autograph sessions at RTX or I think
Starting point is 01:29:10 I think that's your piece. It's not everyone gets to do it. The most efficient way to do it would be actually if you just hung yourself above the convention pool and just everyone could just look at you and then you get the most people involved. Why do you have Elon Musk so much? I'm going to get like eight drones and just fly over the convention center and say hi to everybody.
Starting point is 01:29:28 And in the chat, what's your favorite part of RTX? Well, in the chat, I've ever been to RTX. karaoke confirmed at RTX, Matt, you're gonna do karaoke? Yeah, I'll do karaoke. You'll do karaoke during the, as the CEO panel?
Starting point is 01:29:40 Oh, that's a great idea. The SCEO panel is the one panel, and I shouldn't say this because I always sit in the back, but it's the one panel that I always attend. Like, I don't think I've missed a single one of those. Any of the... I'm crazy, I missed a few. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:53 At every architect. That's how you know how to steal your pencil. I said, I gotta go to your panel so I can do research. Code here. Type your down. Damn it. Hmm. Well, like a billionaire.
Starting point is 01:30:04 I was just down in the Virgin Islands. And your billionaire, the non-savage billionaire Richard Branson. He's a billionaire, right? Yeah. Okay. So we actually got off course because we were sailing to this place. It was called the bitter end, which is this bay. It's on the north side of this island. But just north of that island is an island called mosquito island and another one called necker island. Well, I'm not choosing mosquito island. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 01:30:34 Why would you go to mosquito island? Right. And this diabetes island does not. This guy up island. Richard Brandt owns necker island. He owns the island. So we're going and somebody on the boat was saying, that's Richard Brandt owns Neckar Island. He owns the island. So we're going and somebody on the boat was saying that's Richard Brandt's house right there.
Starting point is 01:30:49 And people on the boat had the binoculars looking at this like, it looks like an evil layer. You know, like for some evil genius, evil super villain. And I got confused, I got, we got, of course, cause I kept trying to like steer on this side of the island cause it's Richard Brandt's island. And then we finally realized, oh no, that's a different island. This is a mosquito island. He also by the way owns this one. And this is it's Richard Brant's island. And then we finally realized, oh no, that's a different island.
Starting point is 01:31:05 This is mosquito island. He also, by the way, owns this one. And this is where he has his house as well. So he owns two fucking islands out there. It's like, okay, that's great. Good for you, but you're not putting us on Mars with you two islands. Good for warbling fights, though, to have two islands. Oh my god, if you imagine, the lake is getting trebuchets, it's like the biggest.
Starting point is 01:31:24 It is the way you describe it. It is interesting how it just tons and tons of money always kind of seems evil. He's just got a nice house, but it looks like an evil lay out just from the way movies have trained us. And also people get shit like whenever super super rich people spend money
Starting point is 01:31:39 and I'm kind of doing that with this Neckar Island mosquito island thing. But at the same time, it's like that's way better than just them hoarding a bunch of money and sitting on it, you know what I mean? And this area in particular was two years ago. It was like completely wiped out by Hurricane Irma, I believe, came through there. So like that whole side, like if it came from that direction from the east, everything in
Starting point is 01:32:01 that direction is just completely being rebuilt. Do you think anyone lives under the ocean that we don't know about? James Cameron. I think he lives there. He went deepest, right? He went to the bottom of the ocean before anybody else. That's another weird thing. Of all people, James Cameron was the first person to go to the bottom of the
Starting point is 01:32:17 Marianas trench. Was that because of Titanic? Yes. Yeah, I think he got started on it, you know, and they got it the little passion project going. That's weird though. Right. It's like something you don't think about when you think about James it, you know, and they got it the little passion project going. That's weird though. It's weird. It's like something you don't think about when you think about James Cameron.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Did you, did we have a play? Have you ever played the game? As you want to do. That's right. Just on weekends, I start thinking about things here. Well, he's come up recently because of Alina. And I made the comment on the podcast a day or a few weeks ago before I got this vacation a month and a half ago.
Starting point is 01:32:44 We talked about Alita coming out and everyone's like, oh, that's gonna fuck up a bomb. It's gonna lose $250 million. And I was like, how do you bet against James Cameron in this day and age? Like every movie, Titanic was gonna be a bomb. Avatar was gonna be a bomb, you know. And now Alita has made like,
Starting point is 01:32:57 God knows how much overseas. Once again, proving that the US market is really not that important anymore to these big blockbuster movies. So you guys could do a thing. But Roast is, Roast is made a really crazy comment to the people that were working over in the Rushi content office. We were talking about James Cameron and Avatar.
Starting point is 01:33:15 He's called us, he goes, Avatar is the number one movie of all time, right? And we said, yes, that's right. And he goes, everyone in this room has seen Avatar. It's the biggest movie ever. And we're like, right. And he goes, name one character from the movie. And none of us could name a single character.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Jake Sully. Jake Sully. That's the only reason I remember. It's because of Elise in that funny video. She dressed up like Avatar. But it's only the same people. No one could come up with a single character name from Avatar.
Starting point is 01:33:41 That's fascinating to me. The people were called the Navi, right? Right. I also remember Unobtainium, but that's about it. Oh, God. That was... Yeah. Like, what was the name of G. of Monty Robisi's character in that? Bad guy. What was the name of the Sergeant? Like, the jar-headed guy. The guy who had the...
Starting point is 01:33:56 The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who had the... The guy who Some of the Doctor you. Yeah, yeah, why is that? And it doesn't apply to Titanic and stuff. No, I remember those characters. Or Star Wars are aliens or other James Cameron terminator. Yeah, you know, I can name characters,
Starting point is 01:34:10 Heracana, I can name characters from movies. Couldn't name a single fucking, I couldn't even name Jake Suley. She couldn't name Jake Suley. No, in fact, even Tilt Chad, Chad kind of ruined it by saying it, but I was curious if you were gonna be able to say Jake Suley. Oh, I'm sorry, I just heard a ruin, thanks.
Starting point is 01:34:24 That's okay. Jake Suley. Just like you know sorry. I just heard a room. Thanks. That's good. Jake Suley. Just like that punch line earlier. Who does there? But I'd be curious. I was curious if you could come up with it. Did you remember Jake Suley until he said it? I was seem to say Sully. I would have said Sully. I didn't remember this. I remember the J.S.
Starting point is 01:34:39 I remember the J.S. I think Suley is the way they pronounce it. They didn't know the Navi pronounce it right? Jake Suley. Yeah. But they called him the marine drill sergeant guy called him Sully, right? Probably. I think so. He was in the Mac at the end. Yeah. He's got a great, great line. So he does name one.
Starting point is 01:35:00 Uh, uh, uh, not while I'm still breathing at the end, when he, right? Yeah. And then he says the low gravity makes you soft. Yeah. He's like pumping iron. He's like, he's like benching like 400 pounds. What a great character introduction. What's his speech when he's like, like, this plan is filled with things that'll like squat in the mud and eat your eyeballs for duty.
Starting point is 01:35:21 Me. Yeah. Right. I'm as curious. My job to save you, but I will not succeed. Not with all're right. I'm not as curious my job to save you, but I will not succeed, not with all of you. No, with all of you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:29 See, it's a name of the lines, which can't even fucking character. It's fucking weird, right? I wonder if that movie still looks decent. Let me ask you a question. This Mad Hullum has a very long career in visual effects. Let me ask you this. There's one visual effect they still can't get right in movies,
Starting point is 01:35:42 and I don't know why they can't get it right. One thing they have mastered is they build and make someone look younger. Like in the Marvel movies, the Captain Marvel, that was fucking crazy how they made everyone look younger. Yeah, did you see the side by side comparisons of Samuel L. Jackson from Captain Marvel and him in diehard three, where he's the little age of.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Yeah, that's really interesting, because he's like, just just he's overall like narrower. He's really skinny and what fell is in real life in real life is narrower. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they have to make it baseline from the guy you know today. Yeah. The weird one to me was actually from Civil War when they had the teenage Robert Donny Jr. Oh, yeah. Oh, they're really less like less than zero. Yeah, When his parents was head that flashback with his parents, it was like, fucking a, that's crazy. Oh yeah. So which is which?
Starting point is 01:36:28 That's not in the right cap and marvel. Oh yeah. 100% left is a diehard. Yeah. But why can't they get this right, Matt? And this, we can end on this. Why movies can they not get right? It was an avatar and it was also just recently
Starting point is 01:36:41 in a very high fidelity movie, Infinity War. Oh, sure. They can't get it right when they've got a guy in a mech and his head is coming out of the mech. Yeah. What is wrong? It always looks the wrong size. It does. It's me. It's the movement is wrong.
Starting point is 01:36:54 And the light says, there's no way you actually see the guy's head. Yeah. Like from the angles they choose, like you would be below the threshold of, you know, you just see like his hair line. I also feel like so they're putting him in an awkward position to begin with. And then the lighting's wrong because he'd be almost completely in shadow. Yeah, it never costs the right shadow on his body. I think it's just, I think it's all sheets.
Starting point is 01:37:15 But yeah, there's like a ton of shots in Infinity War, like, especially towards the end with Mark Ruffalo where you're like, even even the way background, it just looks like the head's just bobbing. Yeah. Back there, yeah. And those are, I mean, it's like, it's just a bunch of cheats. And he takes it off.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Your eyes know when it's fake. As a joke, he takes it off. You know, like, because he, yeah, he has a torches up and he pulls the helmet off. That part, yeah. Yeah, but I'm watching all the other of you tonight's Ant-Man in the Loss. We're almost,
Starting point is 01:37:42 that's the only one I haven't seen. I haven't seen that one yet either. We're going in chronological order. Nairically. Nairatively. Captain America was first. Captain Marvel. Oh, so if we next.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Anyone's doing that, I have to go and see Captain Marvel while it's still out. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do that. Well, we saw Captain Marvel then, but no, I guess we just see Captain America and then go, excuse me, go see Captain Marvel. Little verps gave me that. Then we saw Captain Marvel, which is in the 90s. And then it just goes forward from there. Most of Captain Marvel's in the 90s. I haven't been watching them in order, but I've watched a bunch of them recently.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Still really hard to beat the Iron Man. The first time I've ever been in the Iron Man. The first time I've ever been in my favorite all time. I think I love that as well. He's in a real-ing suit or a real metal suit and not has it having his face. And then Iron Man 2 was a let down and then you thought it couldn't get worse but then Jesus Iron Man 3, what a piece of shit. Gotta hate that movie.
Starting point is 01:38:30 Really? It is, I got one problem with it. That's such a poorly written, oh god, there's so many plot holes in that movie. Hey, if you were to kidnap the president, would you put him in his own like fully weaponized and armored escape vehicle? Oh.
Starting point is 01:38:44 Because they did. And in case you're wondering, yes, it like fully weaponized and armored escape vehicle? Oh. Because they did. And in case you're wondering, yes, it was still weaponized because remember, they went up and just pulled his wrist up to blast the rope and set him free. Like there's so much dumb bullshit in that movie. We're like, Tony's like, oh, hey, you can't use these suits because they're only programmed to me. All I had to do was say the words, they're not programmed to you, but they didn't do that. He said, they're only programmed to me, which I had to do was say the words, they're not programmed to you, but they didn't do that.
Starting point is 01:39:05 He said, they're only programmed to me, which is why it doesn't make sense when Pepper Potts grabs a fucking arm of it later and punches the dude. There's so much gotta hate that movie. I'm a big Iron Man fan and Iron Man 3 is a piece of trash. I just watched a compilation of all of the times he got into the suit or in or out of the suit and the evolution of the different ways he puts in the suit
Starting point is 01:39:22 is really funny. But they're all cool, kind of like you can't look away. Except for, I think, the nano stuff is sweet. The nano stuff everyone felt was like, you know, it is a natural evolution, I think, for, in Saver, they got to do something bigger every single time. To me, the ultimate was when he's in Monaco and puts on the suitcase suit, I just fucking love that
Starting point is 01:39:40 because there's a kid growing up reading Iron Man. The suit came, flipping open this briefcase, and he's got the Iron Man suit in there. I can't wait to see that. But the way they did in the movie was drastically different, but still really, really cool. Yeah, yeah, but you know, it's okay. If the Mandarin blows up your house, I mean, you're, you're clearly left defenseless
Starting point is 01:39:55 because you know, in this continuity, he doesn't have all the hundreds of suits built down into the tower. Okay, that's fine. I'm not going to go with that. Oh, wait, never mind. He did. And at the end, he just calls house party for some reason. And now they all come. Oh, let's give. I'm not gonna go with that. Oh, wait, never mind. He did. And at the end, he just calls House Party for some reason. And now they all come.
Starting point is 01:40:06 Oh, let's give Tony Stark PTSD because he needs a weakness. Actually, he's the first character that actually had like a true, like let's bring alcoholism into the light as a serious problem. He did? That's what Tony does when shit happens. And they don't go that route because they did that a little bit in two and they didn't want to be redundant. So they gave him PTSD.
Starting point is 01:40:23 I'm sorry. I was actually really surprised that they didn't tackle the alcoholism thing in the movies anymore than they did that a little bit in tune. They didn't want to be redundant. So they gave him PTSD. I'm sorry. I was actually really surprised that they didn't tackle the alcoholism thing in the movies anymore than they did. Because it was such a big part of the comics. Imagine if they had done that with three. Yeah, I don't know. Like, they crawled into a hole and he drinks and was drinking himself to death and like that.
Starting point is 01:40:35 I think that's what his character does. And that's what, I think they were in full MCU mode at that point and they had to address the Avengers alien stuff. And so that's how they were gonna do it. Although he could have been drinking to try to get over that. I will say this though, Captain America Iron Man, I love Iron Man more,
Starting point is 01:40:48 but after watching all the MCU movies again, I have to acknowledge I really like the first Iron Man. The second one's okay, the third one was okay. I liked it a little bit more watching it this time, but I remember I hated it in theaters. My problem was there's no Iron Man in that movie, like for 75% of the movie. And then the last five minutes,
Starting point is 01:41:05 there's way too much Iron Man. It's just like it's way too much. But Captain America, first one's okay. Winter Soldier and Civil War are fucking great. They are so good. They are really great. They're hardly even that the American movies.
Starting point is 01:41:18 I know what you're gonna say. Yeah. I mean, they're good movies. Don't get me wrong. I know complain about them, but it's not like the Iron Man movies were mostly about Iron Man with all their mistakes, but the Captain America movies, the first one was a Captain America movie for sure.
Starting point is 01:41:33 Right. And then the next two were kind of just bridge movies for the rest of the MCU. Yeah. Great. Really great. But like, maybe not a Captain America movie. I just don't think the Captain America origin is as exciting as the Iron Man one. I agree. Like they just had to kind of get that one out of the way, but it's not, oh, it's not
Starting point is 01:41:49 overly exciting story. And but I love really do with the character. But I know exactly what you're saying too, because in Civil War, I couldn't help but notice this time when I was watching it, how they basically just keep Iron Man out of the movie as long as they possibly can until he's needed. Like the whole thing with the embassy at the beginning, where T'Chaka gets killed. You know, and that whole thing, he's out of the movie that entire time. Like he's not on that mission.
Starting point is 01:42:12 It's black widow and Falcon. I thought about the least, we cool on the movies and he is in the comics. Yeah, it's very much so. Yeah, and Scarlett Witches in there as well. But yeah, Iron Man is not there on that very important mission for some reason. He's keeping people out of movies. Like I love the way that they try and dance around characters with like
Starting point is 01:42:29 Fast power discrepancies like Thor and I thought they did a really good job. Revision yeah, so like Thorin vision and and Scarlet Witch those three characters are super problematic because they're like Insanely powerful and so a lot of like the struggles are happening, these characters would just wipe the floor with it. So that's why Thor had to go on his whole thing to rebuild the new hammer. Yeah. And then Vision, they were just like, I don't know, have a goblin.
Starting point is 01:42:55 Just stab him in the back when he's thinking about love. Uh, and then we scarlet witch. And he's just like, oh, she just like, fuck everybody up when she's here. Well, she really cares about vision. So you stay there and guard, and I love that line too, when she finally comes back and like, and why was she staying behind?
Starting point is 01:43:13 Right. Because it would fuck up the movie. I think one of the like biggest story problems were like character problems, but there were two great movies, but Thor Agnorok to Infinity War. Thor is in tire like reason for being. And Ragnarok is to figure out that he's powerful, like the power of the lightning comes from within himself, but not from the hammer, or some device he needs. And then the solution for him for his character arc, and if any war is completely the opposite, he has to have
Starting point is 01:43:52 some kind of weapon in order to have like the like the internal theme is like he has to have it to have self self work. It's back on everything you learn right now. He said to have to have his powers. Yeah. Yeah. And they all say the whole both those movies though are fantastic movies. Like you've seen one of the other. The bit where he comes down with his axe. Oh, so good. It's like one of the most exciting moments. I think it all of movie history. Yeah, it is. It's just a character coming back.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Like it's not like anything's even happening. He's just like, look who showed up. And it's like, oh, well then he does. I mean, he just starts playing with his people. I mean, they've all been fighting like from tons of movies already. That grand, that grand entrance was, I read was also supposed to be Captain America's coming back, whereas he kind of steps out of the shadows in Infinity War now when Captain America kind of returns to the team after Civil War.
Starting point is 01:44:33 That was so that big entrance was supposed to be reserved for Captain America that you couldn't figure out to do it. Huh. So they worked in with Thor. It did well. These entrance, Captain America's entrance, it's also great. It is really good. I think a lot of the way in the fucking trailer, Just so you go back and watch Thor Ragnarok.
Starting point is 01:44:46 Dude, go watch the Thor Ragnarok trailer today. They gave away everything about that movie. Really? Thor Ragnarok. Even like the biggest moments in the movie, like when Thor discovers that the power is in him and he's the God of Thunder, that moment is in the trailer.
Starting point is 01:45:00 It's like, I guess maybe they didn't have enough faith in this goofy movie. It was going to turn out to be so good. It's my favorite personally of the whole MCU is Thor Ragnarok. But yeah, that trailer is like, gives tons of stuff away. Anyway, we should wrap up. We can save some more Marvel talk for the post-show.
