Hey everyone, RTTV is sponsored by ExpressVPN, Protect Your Online Privacy, today at expressvpn.com slash RTTV. Hey everyone, welcome to the RESTYF Podcast. I'm Gus. I'm Gavin. I'm Blaine. Is it gonna be next? And I'm Barbara.

Barbara, watch out! You're being taken over by Tripods. And I'm Barbara. Barbara, watch out. You're being taken over by Tripods. Oh my god. Yeah, I have a lot of equipment set up in my office. So I was working on some projects with Richard Teeth. So excuse the mess, but it's easier for me to do the podcast like this than take everything down out of the shot and reset it back up when I need to film.

So this is me in the jungle of tripods. We know that you're making projects with your expertise and not someone else. Not porn, I promise. I had a bunch of stuff too. You can't tell, but this was all filled with equipment, but I moved it all out of the way. You look a little bit more pressed against the wall. You look like you're squ just did a little bit closer. Oh my god. Yeah, it's it's it's still the same wall. I promise you I guarantee. I did move the camera though since the last podcast I was over here last time. Yeah, but I'm playing around with a with a new camera here. We filmed some we had to film something the other day and I used this piece of shit camera for it. And if you are filming a movie on this camera

that's longer than eight minutes, it overheats and shuts down. Cool. So camera. Which is weird, because I have the exact same camera that you do, Gus, and I was using it for the same purpose and I didn't have that issue. So there might be some process running on your computer

with the camera at the same time that you might have to check out because. I didn't have that problem. I have the same camera. The only problem that I encountered is now whenever I plug in the HDMI cable. The reason I'm using my old webcam is because I broke the HDMI cable because as I was setting it up, my camera fell over, which then hit a power cable that was holding up another light, which made that tripod fall over, which made another tripod that was holding up my curtains and it was just like it was's a mirrorless one. So everything on the inside is really compact. So I think that what's probably happening is,

even though I'm running off of, I'm plugged into the wall, it's probably, the battery's probably heating up and probably causing too much heat, but I cannot run the camera without a battery. So I need to get a dummy battery. Like literally, if you haven't plugged into AC power and there's no battery in it, it will not turn on. So I need to get a dummy battery. Like literally, if you haven't plugged into AC power and there's no battery in it, it will not turn on.

So I need to get a dummy battery to try to reduce the heat and I'm sure it will probably work fine after that. But it's just, I know. What's a dummy battery? I'm maybe like a battery with a wire that comes out that you'd plug in. It like tricks the camera to thinking it's a battery, but it's just AC power.

Roger. That way, yeah, that way it's not generating more heat. It's doing so much work and you guys are calling it dumb. But, uh, but I think the picture looks much better. So you can see how ugly I am in higher definition. That's what we've always wanted. Yeah, the dream, the dreams alive. It only took 600 podcasts.

Congratulations to everyone we made it. Yeah, 600. I don't feel, uh feel like a super appropriate time to be throwing a big celebration. So we'll have a low key 600. We'll catch you at the 700th. More 66, as Blaine said. I have so many plans.

Guests will have to talk afterwards because I have so many plans. Maybe we've already done podcast 700. Maybe we recorded it years ago, just like we did with 350. We did it around podcast seven. Just flipped it. Dude, you guys recorded podcast 700 like years ago. That would be just icing on the cake.

My God, that would be such an interesting thing to watch. You don't remember when we did that before? I know. I remember you did that for what was it? 350, I think. Yeah, but we did it like two years earlier or something. Yeah, but I think it was like that at that point. I don't think two too much has had changed. I obviously like big life events. Like I think Michael got married in that time. I don't know if they had iris in between that time, but there's a couple of

things that had changed, but not like from back then and to 700, whatever is going to be the state of the world by then, who knows. Yeah. What is what is what is 100 weeks mark? Can you ask a smartphone that how I'm going to see what day that is? 100 weeks. I'd be like what should be like four weeks, be a month shy of two years, wouldn't it? How's that?

8, 7, 2022. Four weeks shy of year. Yeah, because 52 weeks in a year. I did something kind of smart. I'm very proud of you. I'm trying to keep it down, but I'm just going to be like, blame in his head is like this. Yes. In my head for a second, I was like, what is he on about?

I was like, it checks out. Is that play? Yeah. It's interesting to have that turned around in you, Gavin. Normally, it's the other way around. You say something. We're like, what's he talking? Oh, OK.

Yeah. No, he's right. Yeah. Gavin actually is usually the voice of reason, I think, on this podcast. and I think a lot of that, we shit on him. The other day, I realized that I removed one of my clocks recently, it was just on the floor while I was moving some stuff around.

And I think one of the cats had just stood on it, like sat on the hands. So now, once I put it back up, every time the minute hand passes the hour hand, it catches on it for a bit, it gets stuck and then pings off. And it causes the time to be wrong by a different amount every day. For 2020, that's the perfect clock. I'm just going to leave it that way. I feel like that's something someone would have invented and called the chaos clock.

Where the time is variable and it's off by a little bit like you don't know exactly like you know how normally people will set the clock like five minutes fast so they show they don't show up later whatever it's like this one you don't know you have to show up based on the time in the clock so you know it might be one minute fast it might be 10 minutes fast. Yeah, is it messing up so much that it's always ahead like it keeps getting more and more ahead of time? No, it slows down every time it slows down every time the minute hand passes the hour hand To get free it doesn't like spring forward Yeah, I thought for some reason when you said that it like would spring forward a little too fast No, it just gets caught up a little bit and then just pings free and then it's behind more. My Jeep is a fucking fossil and it doesn't have a clock built into it. So I bought a small digital clock and then hung it off of a thing that's on my roof. And the battery comes loose sometimes because it rattles a lot in my Jeep. So it is just completely inaccurate, but I haven't taken it down yet, but like it's like according to it, like it's like,

you know, 9am right now or something. It's so frustrating, but I haven't taken it down yet, but like it's like, according to it, like it's like, you know, 9am right now or something. It's so frustrating, but I haven't had it yet. Yeah. What do you think about this today, boy? oatmeal. I am low on groceries. Yeah, I walked the Chipotle to get lunch, because I am just completely out. So probably after this, I'm gonna go to the grocery store.

What's the state of places like Chipotle these days? Are they crowded with people wearing no masks or is it? It was fun because I walked in and they have these little signs Posted everywhere. This is like we're temporarily closed in terms of like the eating space But I walked in there was like eight dudes, no one wearing masks, just like hanging out, eating, not minding their distance. And I like came in with my math and stuff like that.

And like one guy like, can't even refill his drink and I like stepped out of his way, you know, just out of politeness, but also just keep space. And then he just like very intentionally it felt like I walked right by me and it's like come on man like. That's kind of a dick thing. We're totally a dick thing. Yeah. Bit of trivia. Every day for lunch since we've been in quarantine I've made an eat in a sandwich.

That's what I mean. Every fucking day for the last three months. That's really living on the edge there man. Why is that? I don't go, go interact with anyone. I don't want to, like you said, you have an encounter at a Chipotle or at a restaurant. So it's like, I make, I don't want to think about it. Like I don't want to spend any time worrying about like, oh, what am I going to make?

What am I going to do? How long is it going to take? No, it's just easy. I will just make and eat the same sandwich for lunch every day. And I've been, you've eaten that set. How long have we been doing this? It's March 24th? Fourth was, I think, our last day in the office. Yeah.

So it's March 24th. It's the same sandwich. Yes. What's in it? My dog's barking. Hold on. We got it. We got to get, like, after you list this off,

we got to get a graphic for Gus's quarantine sandwich. And it has to have step-by-step all the ingredients you need. And we need people to make this sandwich and eat it and judge Gus. Oh, whether or not he has good taste or not. It has to have step-by-step all the ingredients you need and we need people to make the sandwich and eat it and judge us whether or not he has good taste or not. It's good. Well, I'm limited somewhat because I can't just go get any deli meat I want. It's a vegan sandwich. So it's, yeah, it's a plant-based turkey, a non-dairy cheddar slice or two non-dairy cheddar slices, some shredded lettuce and vegan bacon on, and vegan mayo on sourdough bread.

So you, sourdough bread, good call. Yeah, yeah. So far, I like that. It's from Easy Tiger. Oh, okay. Fat play. Oh, I got this Easy Tiger. Easy Tiger's great.

They sell the bread at some grocery stores around town. So I don't go to Easy Tiger when I go to the grocery store. Yeah, I pick up the Easy Tiger bread when I'm a seasy tiger. Easy tiger's great. They sell their bread at some grocery stores around town. So I don't go to Easy Tiger. When I go to the grocery store, yeah, I pick up the Easy Tiger bread when I'm there. Yeah, if you look at HB's like stickers, they have like a little tiger logo. And I was like, what is that? And they're like,

made by Easy Tigers. That's pretty cool. The Easy Tiger, it's a local place, right? It's just Austin. It's two. It's a place here in Austin. I don't know. I guess they sell like a lot of German food as well like a

Law Schnitzel and whatnot Also, I think we have to point out the fact that you had an adorable little kitten crawling all over you Gavin Yeah, he was on my lap and the chat demanded more cue. So I brought him up now. He's all running all over because I disturbed him. I didn't actually punch him by the way. He doesn't look punch. I wish we just had a camera just for Benjamin. He parks in his sleep a lot. That's why I always have to like shake him. Sometimes he doesn't in the middle of the night.

Sometimes in the middle of the night. He'll like to wake him up because if I call him or if I say his name, he keeps sleeping. And so it's like I'll shake him a little bit. But sometimes in the middle of the night like out of nowhere it will be dead silent and he'll just start howling. Like this, like in his sleep, like this really mournful, long, loud howl. Like out of nowhere, it's like, I wonder what's he dreaming about?

Or what's going on that he does that? And then he'll wake himself up and then he'll look around, it confused like, that was you, you're the one who was just doing that. I would hate so much more to watch pet dreams than my own dreams. Yeah.

You know what, you know what they're reminds me of? It reminds me of one time when I took a flight with you and you were across the aisle from me and you were asleep and you were snoring and one of your snores was so loud that it woke you up. Yeah, that's exactly what you said. Is that what you thought you might have sleep apnea? Oh, I probably knew I had it.

I knew I had it by then, but yeah. Do you think dogs know that they're sleeping or do you think that they're still so dumb that they think that I was just in the park just a second ago? Like, doing one of these? The dog knows, like, man, if I fall asleep on this couch, sometimes I end up at the park That's just nightmares a lot. I was gonna ask you guys do you ever like whenever I wake up Dutch from a nightmare

I'm always very soothing about it like I'll pet him because I don't want to like jolt him awake You know, I'll just be like it's okay. You're having a dream. It's okay. It's okay So do you like Benjamin and all as well do you like comfort them back? No, I'm like stop it. I'm trying to sleep. No, I'm kidding. No, no, of course of course So like I'll just start petting them but like I don't want to like scare them out of it I guess this is probably the best way to put it The only one out of this whole group that doesn't have a pet of any sort No, you got a Trevor one

I got Trevor. Yeah, it's true. Do you not want one? I do. I don't know if now is the right time, which I know could be argued of now is the best time since we're home all the time. And it's like the perfect time to start. Caring, especially like for a puppy

that needs a lot of attention and stuff like that, not having to go to work or anywhere physically, being around for it, arguably the best time, but it's also there's so much going on and things are already so stressful that I don't know if having a new pet is a great idea right now. I don't know.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that- I'm gonna definitely wanna get a dog at some point. I honestly don't. I can't put this because like the the animal that I've seen you interact the best with was rebel the dog like the old chocolate Adam's chocolate lab. And like I but I don't know I don't see Barbara and I say oh she's a dog person or she's a cat person like I honestly don't know what kind of pet would perfectly fit you. You know, it definitely, I, I'm not a cat person.

Like, I, it's not that I dislike cats. I just, I'm not, I'm one of those people who's like uncomfortable around cats. Like the ones that cats always gravitate towards because like, you don't really, well, maybe cats sound comfortable around you, Barbara. Maybe they are. It's probably because I got clawed really. Well, maybe Kat's sound comfortable around you, Barbara. Maybe they are. It's probably because I got clawed really bad by a cat when I was younger and I'm forever scarred. Not physically, but no, I love dogs.

We, Trevor and I kind of like the same type of dogs. Like kind of medium big, not too big. I don't know if like a lab or golden retriever would be our best bet. They have a lot of energy though, you always got to walk them and take them out and die. Right, I part of me wants to adopt just like a really old dog that just wants to like lay around and. Do you want a really old dog who smells bad sometimes and occasionally barks in his sleep?

I'll absolutely take Benjamin off my hand. He's asleep again already. He's asleep like 20 hours. Does he get like poop stuck to his butt already? Why does he smell bad? Does it just dog smell? Just dog smell. Yeah. Yeah, me and Trevor talk about wanting to get a dog.

And we already, we have two names picked out for dogs. And we're going to pick whichever name works for whatever dog we eventually adopt It all depends on the personality and stuff like that and that could change but wait list w and chat says get an owl That Wait list w This W wait was W as a joke who I got it now, okay, okay That took that to me one one of my favorite jokes that I heard recently is

Guys someone in this room is possessed by an owl And then someone never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us.

Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us.

Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like us. Never like house. So I'm looking for a house. And this is completely unrelated to everything. But I did find this one and I was like,

oh, this one looks nice. And it was like decent price and all this stuff. And I'm slacking Erica picture. I was looking at pictures of the garage and the garage looks like shit. And then I like zoomed in on a spot because there was this weird thing in the corner on the garage, like they had taken off paneling.

And underneath the paneling, they had put help, like someone had written help in the wall, like inside the wall. I don't know if I can show it or not. I'm looking at it now. It seems like there's like all the white long. It's in our call. Like it was like they had like wood paneling or something. So they were like putting a golfing glue and then someone then put in like a little bit of extra hot caulking glue to make it say help

So my god searching for house hunting tips if anybody's got got them. You see any literal cries for help any literal cries to help. Aw. It was a huge pain in the ass, especially around here. Can't find it out. And especially now. Yeah, I saw signs for houses that were having open houses. I can't imagine doing that right now,

like going to, like wanting to buy a house and then going to an open house for this a bunch of other people. Yeah, I've seen a lot of realtor sites offer like video tours now. Yeah. Yeah. Have some instead of in person. But yeah, I have seen, because I love looking at real estate.

I do it all the time. I get emails from Zillow and whatnot just to look for fun. Guys, I think you're the same way, right? You love. And I've seen that before, and then saying, like, well, we're having an open house is sunny. It's like, what? You know, there's a pandemic still going on, right?

Like, there's clearly a lot that people are still doing during the pandemic, like stuff of importance. But having a little mosey, I wouldn't put high up on the list of stuff to be doing in a pandemic. And you can see a lot of a place online.

Well other things I wouldn't do in a pandemic include going to Las Vegas and gambling, but apparently you can do that too now Yeah, you guys see that video It looks like a normal day in Vegas like nothing was happening in the world. Nobody was wearing masks. Nobody Yeah What Yeah, the access on Gavin's world. Yeah, really. The question is to have leapt onto the PC that I'm running stream. I like how like Gus's dog is barking. Gavin's cat is like clam all over.

So I mean, guess you're like, get a get a pet. Why not? Listen, like pros vastly outweigh the cons. I'm having stuff you could time with touch. I'm sure we got a pet. We would love it. I want to know if... We're great, I'm not a coming one. If like people, if anyone has had their second kid during this pandemic, I'd be interested to know if it's the best or the worst compared to their first kid, which

wasn't born in a pandemic. I was thinking it would be the worst. But yeah, then I was like, but I mean, when do you get to spend so much time with a new born? Like most parents busy when they have kids, right? I guess from that perspective, it's nice to be home and have everyone home and also to not be like missing out on stuff. But I think the process of having it, like you can't get family to visit, you can't get any external help from anybody. I have a friend, I might have talked about it on a podcast

before, a friend of mine who just had twins, she's in the UK. And they have, both have full-time jobs, but they can't get anyone to come help, obviously. They can't. I don't think her husband was even able to come with her to the hospital when she was having them. Like, there was a whole bunch of stuff that made it really difficult.

But who knows if that, like the pros that way the cons are by first. I mean, I just know what a nightmare like Chad and like my sister and brother-in-law are having with their kids and just... And both parents working? Yeah, it just sounds like a lot. There's no escape. It's like constant.

Yeah, and the kids are getting fucking bored and frustrated. I'm, what I'm curious about is like what the lasting impact on those kids is going to be and in the potential lack of socialization. I think it's going to cause stronger family ties, but I'm wondering if something that's going to be a little bit different when they get back into. Yeah, one of my neighbors came by the other day. They have a relatively young kid. He's a little toddler. I think they're so far there so far They're like totally exhausted everything to do that I I drove home Park my car and like from a distance they came over there like can our son watch you plug your car in

I was like no sure I guess like I plugged it in a plug it a few times to show him you know from from a distance away He was like totally enthralled by it. I guess it's something you hadn't done yet. I want to see Gus interact with the baby or a child. I'm always still supposed to do explaining something to a five-year-old. We were talking about that explaining the human centipede to a Kindergarner. Oh, God. Eric, he's listening right now.

Yeah, I totally forgot. I'll get back to work on that. Thank you very much. What? How are my paws? I forgot that Eric is in here and watching the podcast. You're welcome, Eric. Oh, this is terrible. No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that at all. Oh're one. Oh, this

terrible. No, we're not we're not doing that. We're not doing that at all. Wait, wait, wait, wait, why? Well, because it's like you picked you picked you picked you picked it was it was it was a practice in theory not in reality. It was a practice in theory not in

practice. It was going to in theory, not in practice. It was gonna say it was an exercise, but I picked the wrong one. Uh-huh, uh, you picked. Of all the things that you chose to do, you chose the one that you could do. I don't understand. You got, you don't, you're not gonna do it.

If I set it up, you're not gonna do it. It's too non-consensual. It's too psychologically scarring. I think. I asked Becca if it was okay. If she knew if it's okay. She doesn't know what human centipedes Man the soundboard's really specific today Soundboard broke in months at this point. I feel it from chat. Who was that? Shadow rogue. Yeah, shadow rogue. Thank you for letting me steal your joke in chat. Apparently, I'm the voice of the people now. So sorry guys, for bringing it up.

Were you welcome maybe? I don't know. Probably sorry. What's up with this dog? Oh, so Kelly and I went to the driving movie theater this weekend because that's the best alternative to go into a See a movie at a theater Because you can socially distance you can stay in your car and stuff like that So we went to blue starlight in Austin and they were showing a return the Jedi and your birthday last year Yeah, so like she has not seen she hadn't watched Star Wars previous to us dating her before us dating

So we've been watching them in chronological order and we just got to Jedi. Unfortunately, they were showing it at the drive-in and it was a it was the fucking blast she'd ever seen it before. And she has this cute dog Charlie and like for eight years, everyone's been saying, oh my god Charlie looks like an Ewok and Kelly's never really gotten the reference because she doesn't really know what Ewok's are. She doesn't know what Star Wars are. So then as soon as Ewok showed up on screen when they're on indoor, she was like, holy shit, that's Charlie. And she just like every time an Ewok was on screen, she was fucking losing it.

She was like, belly laughing. And then as soon as we got home, she dressed Charlie up as a wicket, the main Ewok that Leia runs into. And I put pictures in our Slack now, but that's what it is. Oh my god. Ewok. That is too cute. Yeah. So what did you think of all the Star Wars movies? It's crazy because like, she's fucking digging it like,

you know, I'll admit that episode four is like a little bit slower pace, which she was like, oh no, I loved it. That was great. Which is the one that runs Disney plus. And then she was, you know, in part strikes back was like, oh, that was fucking rad. Like, I love that. You know, and then like, return the judge. She was like, that might have been my favorite. And I think she liked it because the Ewoks and then like, it was weird because she was like, that might have been my favorite. And I think she liked it because the Ewoks was in the like, it was weird because she got really emotional when Anakin showed up. But like the re-upped in like, Hayden Kurchison's in one.

Because the trilogy was just on the back of it. The prequel trilogy was like, fresh on her mind. So she's like, wow, it's just like, it's full circle. And it was the first time I've ever heard someone actually before, you know, that change, like the putting hand Christians in into the movie. Oh, yeah.

I like your perspective. So it's potentially not the worst decision, but do you still like the other guy? I mean, I prefer the other guy. Just because, like, if you think about it in the context of the scene, Luke doesn't know who the fucking Christians is. So you guys breaking up soon or? No, it's cool. fucking Christensen is. Are you guys breaking up soon? No, it's cool that it was really I would say it was genuinely magical. Like I've seen that movie a billion times, but seeing it with somebody that's never seen it and who was like really enjoying it

was like it was a fucking blast. I think the most underrated human experiences is sharing something that you love or that's so close to your heart and similar That means a lot to you with someone you love who's never experienced or seen that before. Yeah, I love that like sharing movies or TV shows or books with people who have never Experienced them before and like watching them react and take it all in love that. Yeah, yeah, it's it's great It's it's my favorite thing about living with someone so you can pretty much do that at any point. I know. For the amount of time I've had to be like Trevor Kuhi watch Disney movie that's from my childhood and then make me feel happy. And he's like, I've seen these two and I'm like, let's pretend you haven't. I didn't realize that is it true that one of the changes to last what's the sixth

star movie return to the Jedi they like photoshopped his eyebrows off oh they like yeah I think they removed Vader's eyebrows so that he didn't have it looked like he was more burned yeah interesting choice I'd say that's probably one of the most, I don't know, one of the changes I agree with. I'm nervous. You just look shocked all the time. It's strange. It's weird.

Have you seen Barry or that? Yeah. Yeah, there's a guy in that show that doesn't have it. Have that? I'm okay. It's weird, yeah, yeah. Is that like, Alopecia or is that like a character look?

I think it's his thing. Like you just shave just. I don't know if it's like. I could be wrong. I don't know if it's something that he was bored with or something. He doesn't intentionally, but I think it's just like. How he was born.

Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong. Blaine. I. What? Oh, wow. We're coaster buddies. Look at those. I hear Blaine with his.

Oh, I've got that too. What? We're coaster buddies. Gav, where's your coaster? I'm gonna do some coaster ASMR. Oh my god. It's your coaster? I'm gonna go straight to ASMR. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's my coaster. Your coaster is much better for ASMR than this one.

I know. She's in a court from IKEA, right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't like those ones. I think Trevor used to have those two. And they're just small enough, or if you have a glass, that's a certain size, it'll get stuck to it. It just happens sometimes.

It holds up a little bit instead of just something flat. They're good. But I like this one because it absorbs condensation from a glass. Like I hate glass ones or slick ones that aren't permeable, because then the condensation just builds up on it and spills everywhere. It's very marble. It's worked out pretty well. It does absorb like it gets cold. Like the whole thing gets cold when you have a cold glass on it which is interesting. Aismar. I'm going to turn it back. My coaster was the what's Watson your house item for chump last week that I used to

all the week before. Is that a new thing where you basically have to lie about? Yeah, it's instead of what's in the box. So what's in my house? That's pretty, that's pretty smart shift. That's a fun game. That's a fun game show. Yeah. Yeah, I like being on chump. fun game. That's a fun game show. Yeah. Yeah, I like being on chump. I never had to do the the deceiver role, but I have been a contestant. I did a contestant episode like a couple weeks ago, and then in the test episodes as well. But I feel like the lying would be so stressful. Think of it like acting. You're just playing

a part. I don't think Jeremy's ever going to have me on again, because first time'm up on I was like the one I had to find the liar and I like fucked up royally. I was going against Gavin who was I was trying to deceive Gavin and then Gavin like called everything. I have a set of bad to be fed none of your lies were bad. You were just against Chris and it's possible. Like every story he has just sounds so unbelievable that you know it's the truth. We're in like a Slack. What was it?

Google hangout or something with Chris today and he just started talking like a fucking robot like everything about his connection was ruined and he was just like He reconnected and when he reconnected he was laying back in bed like this It was like it was like he was on a FaceTime call with his girlfriend or something like that and it's like this is our company meeting Breaking news, they give me left so bad. I was so then I started doing this in the meeting too. When I was just laughing, you know what I'm talking about. Oh, that's good.

Do we ever talk about the time in the meeting, Gus, where everyone started putting brick wall backgrounds to match you? Oh, I forgot about that. I don't think so. So Gus obviously is sitting in front of a brick wall and we have, you know, a lot of video meetings that we do as a team. And this was one of our scrums one week where someone else put up a brick background. I just think it was like a zoom call so you could do those like virtual backgrounds. And then people started taking screenshots and making that their background.

and then people started taking screenshots and making that their background. So it just escalated to being like, Merrill with a brick background. And now it's like a screenshot of Gus on his background as the background. And then a screenshot of that person and Gus with the background and just kept stacking. It was, oh, gave me a tickle.

So then I took that background and I made it my background and then I just left the call. Like I just washed away. It took people a while to figure it out. But did you see that a parasite released five different, like high resolution images you can use as per video commenting backgrounds? I think I saw that because either you favor it

or retweeted it or something like that. I did favor it, yeah. Okay, I think it like that? Uh, it favored it. Yeah. Okay. I think it showed up in my timeline because of that. But yes, I did see that. The movie parasite. Korean film. Yeah. I've only been talking about it for like now.

Or seven or like 40 times. I have. I think since we talked about it, I've probably watched it three more times. Which is actually, I'm about it, I've probably watched it three more times Which is actually I'm slowing down I guess It did not, that's honestly more times than I've watched any movie No That's not a lot No, like I don't think I've watched any movie 40 times I've been trying to watch more like Korean films

because that one, I've got tons of recommendations for you. If that's something you're, you're serious about. Here recently, there's been a couple of really good ones. There was one that came out in, I think, 2018, called Burning, which has Stephen Yoon from The Walking Dead. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's on Netflix. You can actually watch that right now.

Oh yeah. There's another one called the handmaiden, which is on Amazon Prime. You can watch that streaming. I think I movies excellent, but that movie is super sexual. So watch it with your family. No more than that. What's trained to put son or good? Yeah, it was like a really good. Ha, zombie take. Also, I had this dude. He's like the most jacked like his arms were fucking massive. Yeah. And he's my favorite character. Isn't that where they go in black panther? Pusong. Yeah, they do. Yeah. Um, there I sent, I was talking about Parasite with Gavin the other day and I sent him the IMDB link of the crazy guy who lives in the basement and I sent him that link just because it's like they

did such a good job making him look unhinged because I sent Gavin like his regular headshot that he uses. He's like a good looking normal dude. Was that the airline all fucked in the movie? Like, did they share that? I don't know how they did that, but yeah, you look at his headshot. It's like, oh, that's like, like a handsome guy.

You would not think that that's the guy living in the basement in that other movie. Wow, they did. They did. They did. Yeah, right. Seven months old. I noticed on HBO Max available now,

they have basically all of the studio, Ghibli or Ghibli movies. Ghibli? Okay. I've heard both ways, but I've never seen a single one. You should watch. I've just started away first. Maybe Princess One and OK Second. Those are the two you should start with. How's the castles?

I was pretty dope. KT. Yeah, they have on the app, they have all the Ghibli movies and like the first row, I think it's five movies and all of those I recognize the names of and then the rest I've never heard of before. But yeah, I've spirited away Princess Mononoke and a couple of the other ones you guys mentioned, um, were great. I read the a couple of the other ones you guys mentioned. We're great.

So I made it away, it was the first one I saw. That was the first one I saw. I felt like I was on drugs. This episode of other Steve Podcasts brought to you by Bespoke Post.

Every time I've been to Japan, I've never been able to get tickets for it. Which is like timing. So I think think they give priority to locals, but we just went on their website, and we found out the exact time, a month ahead, or whenever they released them, and then it was like me, Miles, Alana, and Cole,

and we all just started immediately logging in to buy tickets, and then when we had a confirmed one, we were like, okay, we got it, we're good. It was fucking great, I don't have any pictures of it. The reason being is they don't allow you to take pictures inside, which I think is a good reason. A good idea because I was completely engaged with what was going on in the museum the entire time. I wish more places would have that policy just start. I feel like you could take in things a lot better that way.

Yeah, like, when you look at a photo, you know, of something like that, they spend a lot of time presenting it, like they want you to see it a certain way. You know, you want to preserve that direction. I find that a lot in that when I look back at my photos, I have tons of photos of like before and after everything, but no photos of the actual thing I went to do. Like we went to Meowolf to make a weird weird place and I've lost so much stuff around it

But I don't I don't think I've any photos inside. I might have one and now I'm looking back and like damn it I want to like look at that thing again, but I've just got to rely on my memory now Yeah, I was like just watch the replay I did a lot of pictures I was gonna say that I think there have been some studies shown to play Devil's Advocate in what I just said before, but that having photos of things, taking photos in certain moments, even if you don't end up looking at those photos afterwards, still creates something in your memory where you remember that moment more vividly, even just taking the photo

and never looking at it again. And I don't really know how that works. I want to know what it must feel like, because I feel like we must all experience this where you see something, whether it be your cat in an amazing position or you see something like a really nice sunset. Immediately in my head, I'm like,

I have to take a picture of this. But what was that feeling like before people could take pictures? Would people just think, wow, I want to remember this? Or like, I want to move for 10 hours. I'm going to paint it. Like, I can't imagine what that feeling, it didn't just not exist, maybe. It's actually because that's right. I try to do this thing where if I'm having, I'm in a really cool moment. In my mind, I'll be like, I need to take a mental snapshot of this.

I need to remember this moment, how I was feeling, what I was doing, where I was, what I was wearing. All those things and I was like, I can, I so I can really appreciate this moment. And I shit you not, I've done that like 20 times in my life. And I can't remember a single fucking one of them. It's only when I take a picture. Do I remember that shit? That's funny. Well, maybe, you know, what you're talking about there,

Gavin, maybe that's like the inspiration for some painting, like some, you know, I think I think of some paintings that almost seem like a moment in time or a moment in life. You know, like someone tries to remember something as best they can and then paint it later. Yeah. Oh, Barbara, people are giving you recommendations for ghibli movies and like talking does versus subs. Yeah. Like the guy, oh God, who does, who's like Ghibli's main dude?

Mizaki. Mizaki. Yeah. Mizaki's spoken about how he wants his films viewed by American audiences with dubs because they like go out and intentionally like they got fucking like Christian bail. Yeah, I think it's specifically inspired it away when they did the translation for the dub. They tried to have the script match up with the animated mouth movements to not make it so distracting, which seems like a fucking nightmare for me. It's like you're translating and you have to try to match existing mouth movements with your translation. I mean, they do that in a lot of TV.

So I know they do that with Pokemon for all the translations of that. Like all the flaps are pretty much nailed. As someone who has dubbed over anime and trying to match the mouth flaps. It is very challenging. So I'm sure the voice actors are very grateful for making that just a little easier. Yeah, but like, I mean, I'm not going to say subs versus is better than dubs or vice versa, but he's come out and said, like I want you guys to enjoy the animation so much that that's why we got voice actors. Yeah, and I think I talked about that years ago when I first saw your name, which still in my opinion is one of the greatest films of all time.

It's great movie. It's fantastic. But the first time I saw it, I saw it dubbed. And I was really appreciative that I did because it made me take in the story and all the beautiful animation so much more because I was able to look at everything instead of watching it reading at the same time

Which again like I think that takes practice when you're watching anime and in terms of like being able to read and watch at the same time Even if you read quickly you're still moving your eyes away from the frame for a little bit, you know Yeah, but then I later went back and watched it subbed and it was Just as fantastic, but I am happy the first time I experienced it. It was dubbed. I remember watching, I think it was police story, the Jackie Chan movie. In the dub, Jackie Chan, I think he dubs himself, or maybe it's I watched a bunch of those movies. There's one where he's he's dubbing himself in English, but I

watched with the subtitles on at the same time, and every line was different. And it was very, it was very confusing to try and like read the subs and listen to Jackie Chan saying different stuff. Like that's absolutely no way to watch that movie fucking rules, because I think not only did Jackie direct it, star in it, stunt coordinated, he sang the theme song to it. It's so cool. Like, I think like the Chinese, like, there was like a recruitment thing. And they use the theme song with Jackie's permission. Like, it's such a good theme song.

I just the movie where at the end, he slides down the big like light thing. And it's all exploding as he's sliding down this big pole. That's police story. I think it might be I can't remember. It's the first or second one. I saw him as a double feature at the Alamo. Yeah, I like those films because there's some stunts that are so impressive. They just show it like four times. You got it, man. You got it on film. You were supposed to show it off. You got it man, you got it on film, you really saw show it off. I think he burnt the shit out of his hands too, because it was all live-wire, electric wire, apparently, all those lights. The fucking best thing that they do in my opinion is the credits, they just show what is essentially a blooper reel, but it's all of the stunts gone wrong, and I think Jackie did that in most

of his American films as well. But you just watch these guys just get fucked up. I mean, just like irreparable damage to their bodies. And it's like this is crazy. And it's to the the fucking police start theme song. I think that was something in one of the James Bond films. Tomorrow never dies. I think they have Michelle Yo in it. and she was so used to that style of fighting. Or that style of screen fighting to the point where the English stunt people were like, we can't, we don't know how to work with this, they had to get in Chinese stunt people because all of the hits are like real. It's like, yeah, you just get kicked in the face in the scene.

Right. Yeah. All the English stunt people were like, we do like non-contact like screen stunts and Yeah, you'll just get kicked in the face in the scene. That would take it. Yeah. The only English stunt people were like, we do like non-contact like screen stunts and it was just like, they didn't match at all. It's just a rude awakening for you. Yeah.

She kicked ass then, maybe. That was a. There's been a couple of older movies, I guess, where it's funny to see how things changed. And obviously, like now, I think there's a lot more women in the stunt. What's the stunt person, And obviously, now I think there's a lot more women in the stunt. What's the stunt person, I guess, would be what it's called, stunt person. But there's some old movies where you could see like,

there's an action sequence with a woman. And then at one point, you see her running or doing some type of flip or getting hit, whatever. And you could clearly tell that it's just a dude with a wig on. It's crazy to see how like that's changed now and there's so many bad ass women in stunt and personal positions. So, Jill's been doing that for for quite a while. I mean, I think that's why Terrentino, my death proof, right, was just to try to highlight her and her her stunt ability. Yeah. I have such a huge crush on Gina Karana. I was watching the Mandalorian, like, special features stuff.

She's still good in that. She's like, her acting's like a little hit or miss, because I can tell that she wasn't like, that matter, her fight choreography, fucking rules. And then there's the scene where, like, fully armored Mandalorian, like, is like laying on the ground. And she goes and just, like, just picks him up, like, he's like a piece of paper.

And it is just so badass, like, she's so fucking strong she's hot. And so we can know movies I'm gonna talk about one that I didn't like. This past weekend you know I'm super desperate to watch anything. So like I saw on Netflix. There was a new happy Madison movie. So I watched it and it's just like I mean, it's it's it's it's it's it's what you expect right I guess if you go in expecting that kind of movie It's exactly what you think it's gonna be put the whole time like man I wonder how much they paid for this movie or wonder how much it was just like we want to go film We want to go to Hawaii. Let's film a movie while we're there while we're there while we're there

but uh yeah it's uh it was called the wrong mitsie it was like the the new David Spade movie where was it? uh it was on Netflix yeah okay that's one of those like one of those happy radicent movies it was films in Hawaii which only supports the theory that they just make these to have a paid for vacation yeah it's always like some fucking destination spot and and I looked it up like the hotel they filmed in was the four seasons on Oahu. So it's like, of course, of course. Yeah. Um, I don't, I wanted to get y'all's opinion on this. You guys seen Space Force on this first episode.

I'm like five or 60. I think, I think we're five, yes, saying five or 60. Is that any good? I, it's just not doing it for me. I don't know what it is. Trevor seems to enjoy it. There are moments, obviously, that are pretty great. But overall, it's just like, I'm trying to be into it.

It's just not hidden for me. It's finally watched one. I watched it. I was like, it's fine. I would rather be playing factorial. So I played factorial. It's like, it's pretty funny. And like I would rather be playing factorial, so I play factorial. It's like, it's pretty funny. And like, I think that they have like a really good cast.

The only thing that bothers me about it is like, it's such a high concept show. Like, they're trying to do, what is essentially a sci-fi, but like with a like a Netflix series budget. And like, I mean, I'm sure it's a huge budget, but like, there's only so much you can do. And there's this one episode where they have to play

like paintball or something. And it is just low budget shit. I mean, it's just like, you could tell that they were really hurting. And it's just like, this is really bad. Because like, it definitely has its moment. Like, Blan, I don't know if you remember the chimp scene. That was funny, yeah.

That was pretty entertaining. But yeah, I think I've heard that critique from a lot of people. It's like a very high budget concept, but not a lot of budget to actually work with. So it kind of comes across like kind of not great. I read that there may be a trademark dispute between Netflix and the US government over the term space force Like the US government might not be able to use space force now right

Because Netflix is trademarking it and I guess the way trademark law works is it's not who trademarks at first It's who uses it first and The series is out and they're fine for trademarks for it. That is rich. Yeah, does that mean that there's been no progress towards a space force in the US government at all? To the part of the name yet. We did something. Didn't they?

I thought they have a satellite dish. I think they have a satellite dish and a flag. US space. It'd be like'm really loud people. My favorite tweet in relation to all that stuff was that Netflix, pitched greenlit scripted, shot, and edited an entire series season of a television show and released it. And in that same amount of time, like Space Force, I'm sure there's a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff, but like, they got a flag,

and I think that was like the biggest progress they had made. Well, like, so in the first episode of the show, they have like a secret base and stuff that they're doing a launch from. So you really don't know, and publicly, that's all we may know about it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt. It is difficult to go to space.

It is also the federal government, which moves slow. It is also the the military which is secretive. Who knows what the hell they're doing. Sure. I just saying from a PR's perspective, like, oh, you know, no, no, no. Yeah. But it was speaking of space stuff. It was interesting. Was it last week or the week before to watch that space X launch and see, you know, the crew dragon capsule leave the earth, leave us all behind, going into outer space. But it's wild to me that you can watch a live stream from people who are leaving the earth going into space. Like I had it on YouTube and I was watching people in a ship as it was taken off from the ground

going like leaving the earth to go in an outer space. Like it really felt like living in the future. I mean, do you think the same will happen for, do you think we'll be live watching people land on Mars? Like what's the light speed time difference from the Earth? They're like in Mars. Is it like an eight minute delay? I think it's for the sun. That's for the sun. It must be three minutes maybe

Five minutes to Mars. I'm sure that figured that out by the time people are walking about Mars Sure, they'll be footage. Yeah, three minutes. I mean three three minute delay that's you wouldn't be playing a video game over that kind of lag But you can watch a you can watch a stream. Oh, I read, speaking of which, I read someone, there was like a ELI-5 or something about how Voyager communicates, you know, the satellites that are leaving the solar system, how they communicate with Earth since they're so far away, and, you know, they have this old technology in them. And, you know, they went through this, some people way smarter than me went to this long process of talking about how they acquired the signal.

But the part that got me was that I want to say that they're able to transfer 160 bytes per second. Yeah. It was 160 bits per second. It's like such low bandwidth. That's, so it takes forever to get any bit of information. They were comparing it to the Reddit logo, because I read this on Reddit, and they were saying,

the Reddit logo and its current size on your browser was like a thousand or something bits. It was a lot more than what they were able to actually transfer over. So yeah. So I wonder how many bits it was to turn it around to take that picture of Earth. Oh, right. But I probably had, it may have had a faster connection at that time since it was closer. Fast connection, maybe, but not like faster. Well, I don't know. Did you see a lay a giant ethernet cable. You're actually now heavy,

that thing would have to be to get used. Do you think we're ever gonna have, have they ever looked into the science behind like a sky bridge? Is that the proper term for it? Sky bridge? Or a space elevator, that's the, there's, yeah.

Like the fuck would it take to make something like that and would it even be realistic or feasible? People talk about that stuff all the time. And we haven't made it, so I guess no. I don't remember when Gap wanted to last so the moon. Well, that's, that wasn't me. That's from a movie, but. No, well, you were talking about doing something to the moon or with the moon like if we got something like long enough

Yeah, I mean, I was talking about like the Guess this with science and mathematical aspect of an old movie quote, but yeah, yeah, I just thought like I'd be cheaper than You know launching to every time when you could just May was a ladder you were talking. Yeah, a ladder. You get it home. Got that thing going to be just the thick is the connection between Voyager and the earth encrypted or like can anyone get any of it from it. A good question.

I guess you need like you you need a huge hotel. You'd have a big, a big, it requires something much bigger than a satellite dish in your backyard to be able to listen to it. Yeah. I'm keeping up with Chad and they're catching up to this space elevator thing. And now I'm wondering like, there's a question for all you guys like, what is something that you didn't think was possible is so sci-fi that you're amazed that it's actually, like self-driving cars or like the foldable LED screens? Like, I'm trying to think of like, your iPhone.

Now, like, I would say everything that this friggin' phone is capable of doing is if you told us to even like, 12 year old me and be like, heck. I remember being really impressed by like field cameras. Oh, yeah, you can like take a picture and then change the focus after I still don't know how that works. Wait, wait, what? I have one here somewhere. Where is it? So I know the red, red cameras, you can adjust like ISO and I don't know about exposure,

but like things like that and post. Yeah, I mean, that can adjust like ISO and I don't know about exposure but like things like that and post. Yeah, I mean that's just like that's the functionality of just shooting raw like most raw formats. You can adjust white balance and ISO afterwards, but this was like you could actually change where the light converged in the picture. So is it just like how did that happen from a lens perspective? Like you don't know. How did that happen from a lens perspective? Like, you don't know the fuck. I suppose that's a pretty cool that may die of. Lightro.

Lightro. That's what I had. It's not in here, it's in storage. I have one of those. But as a result of that, you need special software to be able to view the images, which is kind of a pain in the ass for sharing. So it's like, you would have to find the focus you want, then export that as a JPEG to be able to share it. Because otherwise, when we have the software, there's no way for

you to change the focus. I can see that being in phone cameras, eventually though, just like slight adjustments. I mean, you can already adjust the app. You can already, can you do that yet? With focus? I mean, you can, I mean, like the portrait mode has like a fake apogest slider that mimics smile for us. Just like all the settings that I never, I never mess with. Is this that? That blew my mind. Wi-Fi, yeah.

When I was a kid using a laptop in bed, not plugged in and typing on MSN, I was like, how is this happening right now? I think whenever we get that, but like wireless power, which I think is going to happen. Yeah, lightning. No, like, I mean, that is going to happen. Lightning. No, like, I mean, that's going to happen though, right? I don't know if it's going to like give everybody cancer or not, but I feel like that's like that's everybody thinks that everything is cancer.

Initially when it first comes out, cell phones and why five Gini baby spy on it is a temperature. There was a guy in the UK who just got sentenced to three years in prison because he burned down a cell phone tower because he was afraid of 5G. Hmm, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Burning down a cell phone tower. So dumb. This episode of the receive podcast is brought to Burmarkari, the selling app.

Do you have a bunch of stuff lying around the house that you just don't use? You know, the kind of things, a big kids baseball glove that no longer fits, a pair of jeans that was only worn once. I mean, who doesn't have an old phone, hidden a drawer somewhere? Let me tell you about an app you can use to sell stuff. It's called Burkari. Burkari is the selling app that makes it

fast and easy to sell almost anything. Simply take a few picks, add a description, and boom, your item is listed. Burkari will even email you a shipping label when it sells. Everything ships to, there's no meetups with strangers. The app has over 600,000 reviews on the app store with an average of 4.8 star ratings, so why not give it a try? With millions of people using the Mercari app in all 50 states, stuff really sells with

over 150,000 items listed every day. Users are selling everything from fashion to electronics, toys to sporting goods, so don't let that stuff you don't use go to waste sell or buy almost anything on Mercari You can find Mercari on the app store or on Mercari.com. That's me. R C A R I Mercari the selling app we have there's something out there We have something we want to do this week, but there was something else. I wanted to talk about oh, there's that thing So if you guys are a Brit we have a little game that Eric thought up that you guys are up for it, we have a little game that Eric thought up.

That one was pretty good. I want you to say it like Jigsaw. Do you want to play a game? Do you want to play a game? Yeah, there. You can take it. Yeah. One more for safety, Numbkin.

So we're going to have quotes. and you have to figure out if these quotes are from Yelp Reviews or from Movie Reviews. Oh, God. And I call this game Movie Review or Yelp Reviews. Let's take back the graphic. Oh my god. Wow. Wow. I was going to do one of like Andre's day with that, huh? That's what these people are paid for, Blaine. Don't, there's not a waste.

Did you see the incredible? Can we get the graphic one more time? I don't think Blaine really saw it. It's really good. We'll probably get another one more time. Can we just play the graphic one more time? I just want to see the point. I just want to see the point more time.

Should be. Look at those lens flas. one more time. I just want to see it in one more time. There's lens flash. All the whole graphic was based off movie review. There was no Yelp in there. I know it was a half of the bucket was chicken. Yeah. I was, you know, I guess I guess I already see if we can, if we can just see it one more time, Shane,

if we can just roll it back. Have a look at the left side. It is. Wow. Yep. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yep. There you go. It's like it's Yelp versus movie reviews. I mean, like Yelp has been like a restaurant review.

Well, Blaine, let me explain the game. I have quotes that I've pulled from Yelp reviews and movie reviews. What I'm going to show you is an excerpt from those reviews. What you have to determine is that is it a movie review or a Yelp review. So let's bring up the first quote to see what you guys think. I mean, wow, the 4GT 40 is such a cool car. I had so much trouble beating it in Gran Turismo too, is a kid on classical Rome circuit. The AI actually rigs it by having that car exceed entry qualifications for horsepower So now you guys tell me is that a Yelp review?

Oscar movie review Oscar It's a movie review for four verses for our four places far. Yeah I'm gonna guess it's a Yelp review. I'm gonna guess. It's a movie review for parasite It is and we can show the reveal It is a movie review for parasite. It is and we can show the reveal. It is a movie review for parasite. I guess already saw this example. I've seen that one. Wait, what was it? He said that he hated parasite because it wasn't an English film. So then he put on Ford versus Ferrari and that was way better. And then he went on this tangent about the

GT Ford. Oh God, these could be anything then he went on this tangent about the GT Ford. Oh God, these could be anything then, couldn't they? He's just talking about another movie. Well, we don't have to guess what it was for. No, no, no, just have to guess if it's a movie review or a Yelp review. Can I see the graphic again? Yeah, one more time if we could see that graphic. You made someone in our company make that graphic.

That's what they're here for. With that name. I can explain this to Blaine. Where were you 35 seconds ago? I You made someone in our company make that graphic This is the blame where were you 35 seconds? It's offensive Someone But You think you put that in the real like their their usual effects real hey Should didn't see the chicken in that bucket. Yeah Barbara thought it was popcorn Wait was spicy chicken or was it regularly chicken? We need to see it again But I hate I hate presenter Eric I hate it Well, that's not because now I'll leave you and Gus can read all of the lower

We've created So I've only seen that all the one I haven't seen any of these any of these that we're about to see. Okay, you're not cheating anymore. No, let's roll that beautiful bean footage. Oh, baby, that graphic. This happened to my buddy Eric. That's it. That's it.

Jesus. I'm gonna guess movie review. I guess movie review, they're referring to a scene that happened to their buddy Eric. I'm gonna guess Yelp. I want to go Yelp. What do we got? And the actor is movie review. Joker this happened to my buddy Eric. Eric give me context. What happened to the buddy Eric? Was this buddy Eric?

Wasn't this new Eric? What do you mean? It sounded like the Joker? Joker happened. Joker happened to you? Yeah. Are you the buddy Eric? No, it's not to me, but it happened to his buddy Eric

for stars. Eric got joker. Oh, no. All right, let's see the next one. The guy I'm currently living with is 20 with a 16 year old girlfriend. I've been conflicted about turning him into the police for months even though he's assured me it's legal.

I'm smiling at Mordekhan with those straight lines. I don't understand how this would be either. I'm gonna say Yelp. Yelp. Yelp. I want to say movie. Did you say Yelp Blaine? I said Yelp. Okay, and the answer is...

Movie, clueless. Are these all movie reviews? Is that the game? No, these are not all movie reviews. I just don't understand how you would come to some of these. Really clueless. Five stars. These epiphanies based on a Yelp preview.

I don't know how you would get there. I also love that. This is what he wrote and he gave it five stars. And he was showing him clueless. Like she was watching clueless and that's how he saw it, but then he got on the side tangent about how she's underage. Who knows? Well, I mean, the upside is they're both like, 40 now, right?

Unless it's a recent review. All right, let's see the next one. Dot dot dot, but someone got shot while we were there there so I'm taking a star away for that. Okay. Oh, that's got to be yelled. That sounds like yelp but I think that's a head fake. I think it's a movie review. I think it's a movie review too. Yeah. I've literally guessed yelp for every single one so far. If it was yelp, Bob, Bob, where do you think that would be? Starbucks. Yelp for every single one so far. If it was Yelp, Barbara, what do you think that would be?

Starbucks. Okay. I'm, you know what? I'm just gonna trust my gut and still go with Yelp. Doon Yelp. Answer is. Even though I think it would fake out. Yeah. Hey.

Oh, man. Someone got shot. It's a hook a bar with a four star experience. What have been five, but somebody got shot. Oh my gosh. It's a fortune. It's a name of the hookah bar with a lowercase B. Yeah.

Yep. Well, two started. You got mad that somebody, I made somebody make these. You can't be mad at them for occasional grammatical errors. There's a, man, there's a hookugu Bar and Austin that we used to go to. I wonder what that place is dealing with during COVID. People literally sharing things that they put in their mouth. Oh, shit.

Would everybody be going there, I think? Yeah, I think you and I, and a couple other friends have been there from time and time back in the day. What does that do? What's the benefit? It's hard to say. I haven't smoked shuka in many many years. I think you just get a lot more nicotine lump more quickly. I think it's I don't Just like I don't really it's just social social I used in the atmosphere. I guess and stuff. Yeah, a lot of other Spirits like the other drinks, but you're not getting drunk. Yeah, I never done it. I just don't want to,

I don't want it to go somewhere and suck shit. Oh, no, also like you really don't have that. It's very bad for you. But you know, when you're young, yeah, I'm going to get one. So I think it was that one time. Next one. As raw as as wet, soft serve poo, squishing through your undies and back up your bum as you sit down on your father's lap. I think it's Harry. As raw and as wet.

Nervy review. Mm-hmm. Yelp. Team Yelp. Movie. Movie. Mm hmm. Yelp. Team Yelp. Movie.

Movie. Maybe it's about flubba. The answer is the night and gale. Which one's that? It was a movie the night and gale. No stars. Wow.

The night and gale was a movie that came out, I think earlier this year or last year and it was critically panned. Was it the night like the night and gale murders? Murderers? Murderers? I don't I didn't see it. What's that Jim Kovizel movie where he stops the night and gale murders?

2018, the night and gale. Oh, I need to hold on. I need to look that up. Guys, stop the game. I need to. It's got time travel. I need to look that up. Guys, stop the game. I need to... It's got time travel. The chat is now catching up to that moment.

Everyone's like, what the fuck? All right. Next one. We're not stopping the game play. It's frequency. Don't remember. That's going to be a place. Don't remember. No, no, no. That's gonna be a place. Don't remember. Yelp.

Yelp. Yeah, I'm saying yelp. I'm gonna say, movie. The answer is, yelp, you're super- Don't remember. Don't remember. What is this game?

This game shows you the things that people share online. Like they feel like this is relevant. This was relevant information to share in a review of a super market. Oh my God. I only gave it one star. Is that was it one? Yeah, they don't remember. It was not a memorable supermarket.

If they remembered it, no, I've gotten at least four. Yeah, I don't remember. You can't give a star rating. Well, people just love giving their opinions. Right. You couldn't write a review also, but here we are. You're over. They gave both.

Have you ever done either, Eric? What's that left or left to review? Yeah, movie review or a yelp review. I mean, I don't think I've really left a movie review. I would I used to go through Yelp and go to like, Chili's or Applebee's reviews and like

small towns. And when people complained, I would vote them as cool, because that's a feature on Yelp. So it would be like, oh, they didn't see this for 45 minutes in my, my chips and K-so were cold. My fajitas didn't even come out right and then I would vote it as cool, because you're writing a review on Yelp about Chili's in small hometown.

The only Yelp review I ever made was the golds gym in Tokyo. Five stars because it was really good. Wow. I think we have to go. Now I go going out of your way to, you know, do a one off review, probably the only one you did that year for five stars is nice. But when it's like two or three, it's like, why bother? I feel like the majority of people tend to leave reviews or comments if something's either really good or really bad.

There's rarely an in-between there. I signed up for a Yelp account and I only have ever looked for one review because a business pissed me off so much. Oh my god. Oh, shit. Well, one forced to review a place once for like a cheap rate or something. Uh, they wanted me to review them on Google though. Not on, not on Yelp. And they wanted you to get, give like a positive one, right?

Right. And I had to write it in front of them. Holy watch. Wait, there's a whole animated adventure about it. It was a, it was a storage place, which is totally against that entire system. Like, you're not supposed to do that. I think that's the only, that might be the only video we ever disabled comments on, because in the comments people were trying to figure out which storage place it was in town.

And they were like, yeah, so they were, they never figured it out, of course, because I gave no discernible information about it, but it was just weird to see people try to run with it. There's no way they could have figured it out. Anyway, I'm going to Japan Yelp for you. Next one. Are we going to hear it? WWF Undertaker 1998 Hill in the cell, fuck the NWO, and if you're not down with that,

we got two words for you. I'm gonna say that I was Yelp, and they were writing a bar that a local wrestling thing went down at. I'm gonna say movie. I'm gonna say movie as well. I'll say Yelp. Any of the answer is? Movie, who's telling you, who's telling? one star also because that's isn't that the

undertaker's like move Eric yeah he does the tombstone pile but why would you give it one star tombstone rules what doesn't so does the tombstone pile driver why is there a tombstone pile driver in tombstone There might not be

There are people in the world who give things one star reviews that they really like thinking that like they're giving it a one Which means like number one out of five For like rating system. That sounds stupid. Someone has to think that. Yeah, I think that's why they always have that like side thing where it's like on a scale from one to 10, one being dog shit and 10 being the best.

Like I think it's for those dumb dumb's. All right, next one. One lady asked if we had a cigarette and when we said no, she said, okay, but is anybody you know have a cigarette? Strangely, she'd not see the bats. We did. They are everywhere. Yelp. Yeah, or is that a movie there? I don't know.

It could have been someone reviewing a movie, but just said that I'm going to say movie. I'm going to say Batman begins. I'm going to say me help. Me help. The answer is, okay, that's fair. That makes five stars. It's a five star liquor store experience. Wow.

I mean, that is quite the bats. That sounds like a pretty good liquor store experience compared to most All right next one If you dare to go watch out for Ramirez Ramirez misspelled If you dare to go watch out for Ramirez movie Yeah movie Watch out for movie Yelp movie

They're talking about like an actor yeah, who is A driver's license Like what do you think Ramirez did you dare to go which means this place is not getting the first place Well, yeah, one star obviously you think Rivera's did. And you dare to go, which means this place is not getting the first place. Well, yeah, it's one car, obviously. Does someone fail the driving exam and left the bad review? Is that what happened? That are they were in the car with someone named Ramirez,

who was a dog shit driver, because you know how they have to like group into your test drives. I didn't do that. I only did a one on one driving. Oh, Kevin, I'm sorry. So when you got a driver's head, well, I did had these two drivers that teachers. So, and the olden days, I guess,

I don't know if they do this anymore, but like you would pile in with like three other students in your teacher and you guys were like basically were like hop switching in between who was driving who was a passenger. Oh, that seems really intimidating. Yeah, I don't hate that. It's a lot of preference.

Everyone's excited. Yeah, I was very fortunate to have a one-on-one situation. I did at APR school with an instructor, but if I had to do that in front of my peers, I would hate that. I did that in a group, and I had to go first. Ugh. I hated it. It was awful. I did taught me because he was an extra diverse teacher so they got the home teaching course. Nice.

I'm getting excited. You're just thinking about that scenario. All right, next one. I hate myself so much, so much. I don't respect myself. I resent all the faces of my life. I can't be trusted and my origins are disreputable. I'm scum. Wow. Yelp review or movie review for transformers. I'm playing space with bio. This is a Yelp review for an apple piece. Oh yeah, this is going to be just real comfort food place.

It's a movie review for a dog shaped movie. I'm going to say movie. I'm gonna say movie. I'll say yep. The answer is, movie review for Jay and Silent Bob reboot. One and a half stars. One and a half. I wonder where they would have ranked Jay

and Silent Bob straight back. We've gotta find out. We'll have to track this review down and see. They probably will have to do it themselves down and see. Still hate myself. Do we have any more? How many are left? Two out more? I think there is one more.

Okay. Really getting mileage out of that graphic. Last one. We're going to play the graphic at the end again, too. Revolting experience from beginning to end and pardon me, but I'm glad he's dead. Yelp. Movie. It's got to be a movie. I would hope it's a movie. Movie. It's gotta be a movie.

It makes me think it's a movie. I wanted to think it's a movie, but I'm gonna say Yelp. Barbara, did you say? I said movie. Okay. Answer is movie review for her. Terrible. Happy Star.

Oh my God. This is... on Rukzorov. They're referring to William's. I'm scared. Oh, I thought they were talking about, no, they got to be talking about a character. They got to be talking about a character. Yeah, I thought they were talking about hook. Yeah, yeah. Even though he doesn't let it release, you don't really see him die. Yeah, I don't think I don't think hook dies on that. Even though he doesn't let it release, you don't really see him die. Yeah, I don't think I don't think hook dies on that movie. He's just gone. Eric, bad choice, bad.

I didn't write the review. What a bummer. I'm Eric. You picked it. You know, the only way to feel better now is if we play the graphic. So the graphic. I'm gonna cheer.

Five, six, seven, eight. That was awful. Wait, you still have your goals Jim review on here. Yeah, yeah, here we go. This was written oh And it was rated rated useful Not cool No, not funny or cool So till or 2018 Visited Tokyo and got a two-week membership here during my stay. Very friendly staff and a pretty nice gym that was rarely busy.

They'll show you the rules when you sign up, but keep tattoos covered at all times and bring some workout shoes to change into unless you want to rent. They don't want you to wear your street shoes in the locker room or fitness area. They were also one of the few places in Japan where I could find protein supplements. So that was nice. Overall, I think my past cost around 7,000 yen. Definitely worth it in my opinion. It's from Blaine J.

Great, right? Blaine. Fair play. Overview. Look at you. I was only able to find protein shakes. That's like $70? Roughly, right?

For like two weeks, but like, I bet. Fucking worth it. And it was like a nice gym too, so. Yeah. If you guys had to do. $5 today, go ahead. If I have life, I think there's a black mirror episode

about this. But if you had to review the people in your life, like you would a restaurant or a movie Hmm, would you want to read those reviews? To them the reviews of you I feel like I read I feel like I read them all the time already Yeah, I feel like in online work. We've got we've got it instant feedback

Yeah like an online work, we've got an instant feedback. Yeah, I guess what I'm watching reviews in real time here. And then later, I'll watch them time shifted. To true. I guess I mean, like from your, like, people you know, in your real life versus like audience and community and stuff like that. I mean, we have like performance reviews within the company where you can, you know, our colleagues will write them. Does kind of does get into real talk sometimes. Yeah, those are difficult, especially since like a lot of us are close friends and then it's like well now I have to find something to criticize about your work. So this is gonna be potentially very harsh.

My criticism is always, blame needs to have more confidence in what he does, like every year, year to year. It's always like, Blaine needs to be more confident. So what you're telling us is that you aren't growing professionally. You're feeling a little bit of a feedback. So because that's going to be my feedback now. Next, this next cycle, Blaine refuses to learn. Constantly repeating the same mistakes.

So I had a question I thought about the other day. I'll save it for another podcast. We don't have enough time because this question is taking time. I did have a thing that I would like to bring up. So I'll just kind of address it quickly because I was planning to write a post about it because I tend to be a little more articulate when I write and have time to think about my words. But we really always open today. Is episode 140 is the season 10 finale. And at the start of that episode, there's an announcement about how, after the season, we're going on an indefinite hiatus.

And I'm sure a lot of people have questions, and there's obviously we're very lucky to have a very strong community around that show and people who really love it, even if people haven't been keeping up with it. But when we're doing shows specifically, like always open, that has a particular subject matter. There tends to be only so much you could say about certain subjects, especially when it's like

dating and relationships and sex and stuff like that. And, you know, we get a lot of the similar questions and a lot of similar topics that come up. And both Marilyn and I felt like we had exhausted our opinions on certain subjects. And we felt like we were rehashing a lot of things that we would talk about and discuss on episode. So rather than burn ourselves out by continuing to go, we felt like it was kind of time to say goodbye for either indefinitely or temporarily, we're gonna keep deciding that. But if people are wondering about that decision, I will write something up eventually,

but it's not because we didn't love the show and wanna keep going, we just felt like we kind of did all we could do with it and we're ready to move on to the next creative endeavor. So hopefully that is understood and I'm sorry that that was a decision we came to, but I think part of the creative process is knowing when it's time to say goodbye to something and let go of things when it's still going strong without letting it fizzle out. I want you to teach me how to do that, please. out letting it fizzle out. I want you to teach me how to do that, please.

Yeah. I'm excited for your next thing. And I feel like you can even bring it back for the one-off specials at RTX or something that I think you can do. Oh, absolutely. I think we're still doing some stuff around Always Open. We're still doing the show called Just the Boys with just the box of issues questions. We'd still do those every Friday on RTTV free for everyone.

So that still exists. But yeah, Gavin, as you were saying, I think like one-offs or specials at live events like RTX, I think for sure we'll keep doing those. So it's not going away completely. And I want to announce that good morning from Hell is taking over the relationship podcast, part of Bruce Meath.

So Clayton and Chris will take care of you. And all your relationship needs is- I'm sorry, I'm just with Clayton and Chris. I do kind of want a relationship with my spot cast with Clayton and Chris. That is a bummer, because I always love being on Always Open. That's like one of the funnest productions to be involved with. But I totally understand your logic there and you're going to continue to grow Barb's one excited for you.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Yeah, I think all of us as creators love working on new projects. And I think that's one of the coolest things we get to do. And, you know, we're looking to keep going, create something new, create something new with new people, new faces from time to time. So hopefully you'll see more of that down the line, but in a different way. Yeah, that's all I can really say about it. I appreciate everyone's support. you'll see more of that down the line, but in a different way. Yeah, that's all I can really say about it. I appreciate everyone's support. I appreciate all you guys for your support of the show and for being on it from time to time. Gavin, I know is on our finale, which was really, really fun. Yeah. Which is really cool.

Congrats on so many episodes. Thank you, 140. It's all on on on on on on the on the last one. Yeah, I don't think you even knew until I think you told me right before we start. Yeah, you're like oh, I should have brought something. You know, yeah, it's just it's it's hard to like fully celebrate the end of something when we're in quarantine like this. So hopefully when if and when things are back in the office and we're able to have a proper send-off for it, we could do something special. But yeah. I have a question.

Yes. Does that mean all the booze on the set is up for grabs now? Yeah. That is still part of our content. Right. I mean, when was it not for grabs? Let's make on it. That's true.

You can get to it now or anything make on it. That's true. You can't even, not that you can get to it now or anything. Not like that. Yeah. That's true. Although we could all use it right now, probably. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I just wanted to mention that. I know not a lot of people necessarily watch,

always open every week or go to our subreddit or Twitter or whatever. So I just wanted to mention it on the podcast while I was here. Yeah, good idea. Appreciate it. This is not the podcast's last episode. We're still going. We're still going.

600 points forever. That's the first one. Yeah, 601 next week. I read a crazy story that I wanna talk about real fast before we wrap up here. The headline that I read a crazy story. I want to talk about real fast before we wrap up here. The headline that I read was, The Last American to collect a Civil War pension has died. Whoa, whoa.

Like, is this recent? Yes, as in like last week. Is this June 4th? Was it like a veteran's child? Yes, okay. It was a veteran's child who was born in 1930. The veteran at the time was 84 years old. When the child was born?

Yeah. How is this still in for that? That's crazy. So this woman died, she passed away, she was 90 years old. She was collecting a pension from the Department of Veteran Affairs every month for $73 and it's crazy how

things seem like they were so long ago, but if you think about it like in a practical perspective like this and you're like, oh, it really wasn't that long ago. The child, the grand that they were old, but the child of someone who fought in the Civil War was still alive until last week. Yeah, that's like two generations. That's $840 a year. Were they a Jesse Mephrie inflation or was it just a flat rate that they had? I don't know. It didn't get into that.

It didn't give the specifics on that. Union or Confederacy? Her father had initially fought for the Confederacy then defected and fought for the Union. But I think that it was an interesting story because it's a reminder that you think these things were so long ago and they weren't like the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, like all these things that are in the history books. And then the consequences of which we're still dealing with today, which is very much in the public consciousness, you cannot dismiss it as something that's like, oh, we got over that forever ago.

That happened way in the past. Someone's kid who fought in that war just died. Like it was not as long ago as you think it was and it's something that we're still coming to grips with and it's still something that is very front of mind these days. So, you know, don't think that these things are, I mean, obviously you can't think that these things are in the past nowadays, but it's not,

I guess the thing to remember is it's not as far as you thought it was. It's a hell of a lot closer. to remember is it's not as far away as you thought it was. It's a, it's a hell of a lot closer. Yeah. Anyway, I was just blown away when I read that. So I had to share that with you guys because I whenever I read an interesting story, I have a document, I save it.

And I'll, like, I could have talked about that on the podcast. It's been running for such interesting timelines. I was trying to, like, go through the timeline of my head. I was like, how is that even possible? That's crazy. It's gonna say it is really fastening that we live in a time like right now, where we're, you know, you always hear the term like,

oh, what is it like, we're living in history or like, it's history in the making or something like that. But like, you mission on the last podcast, it's like, it's very much living through a time right now that we'll be talked about to our Kids and their kids and their kids for years and years and years. It's weird Yeah, you are you are living through history at the moment. It's like there's so much converging right now. It's a it's unbelievable People always joke about it like whoever the writer is for 2020 is trying to jam too many storylines in at once because it's just there's a lot going on.

Yeah. And that's a quick reminder, Black Lives Matter. And keep donating, keep protesting if that's for you, keep spreading the word, keep calling out racist behavior, don't stop because clearly things are still a big issue so use that voice of y'all. Some of the broadcast bunch did a stream yesterday, I don't know if you guys saw it. They did, yeah. We're doing some fundraising for Colors of Change. It was really cool. They did a stream on Twitch last time. Their goal was, I think, their goal was $250 and I think they raised close to $6,000 or just around $6,000, so that is incredible.

Yeah, it was really, it was really cool to watch how invested you were in it. So congrats guys, it was a really good work. Yeah. Okay, well it's about time to wrap up. We'll see you guys next week for number 601, and until then, bye. Take care, yourself. Do you like apples?
