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 motormouth outsider who must deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. If he can survive the drive, also starring Stephanie Beatriz, Samoa Joe, Nev Campbell, Will Arnett, and Thomas Hayden Church.

Starting point is 00:01:49 We got me, Gustav Rola. Hi, I'm Bernie Burns. My name is Carrie Shocker. I'm Jill Haman. Look at Carrie. And we're here doing Rischlieg podcast number 142. Suspicious 142. Yeah, almost three years.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Oh, 144. Almost three years. That's really depressing when you put it that way three years Would be 156. Yeah, we probably I mean did we ever missed a week? No, no, I mean for a holiday. No, God We're awesome. Yeah, I am You had like an extra week in there. We didn't like five more. I feel like yeah, that's right Yeah, there was one week where we did one every day and never again never again I feel like the past three years has been about a week long
Starting point is 00:02:27 You can feel like we've been in this building about four days And we've been here just over a year. I mean, I just can't even I can't even It's just I don't move move so fast pretty quick. I move so fast. So carry kill the fish. I didn't like kill the fish I found the fish but I didn't kill the fish house It's business you found the fish. We think that it was actually Kara who killed the fish. Yeah didn't not kill the fish. I found the fish. But I didn't kill the fish. How suspicious you found the fish. We think that it was actually Cara who killed the fish. Yeah. Well, I guess we should say, we had a goal fish here
Starting point is 00:02:51 for some reason, in a bowl, on the table in the kitchen. It was in last week's recap. It was. It was our future, and it was discovered dead last night. And then gone. She's out smoking. What's it we can get? I think she's trying to keep that secret.
Starting point is 00:03:05 The, from the whole world, by the way, let's see, the parents are gonna be pissed when they hear this. The, yeah, well, Cara, if you ask her about it, she'll tear up because she changed the fish's water yesterday. And she's convinced that because of the water change that the fish died.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Well, do you know there's a lot of things you have to do when you change the fish's water? You know what that? What do you mean? Well, the biggest thing is's a lot of things you have to do when you change the fish's water? You do you know what that? What do you mean? Well, the biggest thing is temperature. Yeah, huh? You can't just throw it fish from one bowl of water into the other. That'll kill it.
Starting point is 00:03:33 She might have frozen. How do these things survive in nature? What's that mean? Really? How does a goldfish survive in nature? I mean, that thing is just like the nature doesn't like jump the lake and change the temperature. Like by 10 degrees instantly. Right. Very rare.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Yeah, but there are other chow, I'm sure there are temperature fluctuations in nature. And when other challenges like other fish and fucking pollution and toxic waste and yet they somehow say live. Well, I mean, as a species, yeah, but on an individual basis, no, not as well. How long, how long is the average life for a goldfish?
Starting point is 00:04:04 I don't know. I don't think it's the fucking right now. Are there, are goldfishes like the average life for a goal fish? I don't know Our goalfish is like the equivalent of like how cats There are things a wild goal fish exactly Are there things I don't think so what is the native environment of the goal fish? Is it a pond? Are the goal fish ocean actually in Japan? There's these natural coloring naturally occurring little glass bowls And that's where they that's where they find them in the uh trains with the flakes on the peak of Mount Fuji is right ancestral home of goldfish where the where I mean I don't know they come from pet art or pet color someplace did we breed goldfish in the
Starting point is 00:04:42 existence surely not I have to admit I have always wanted to eat koi. Like those big they want to be eaten. Those big jappies go every time you walk by they jump out and you'll eat me. They don't look very appetizing to me. Something about the model like the way that their skin looks like all those different model colors together doesn't look appetizing to me. I guess you guys saw them when I was a kid and And when I was a kid, my only experience with fish was fishing. So that's a huge, that's an enormous fish. And they come to you. And they like, they want to be eaten.
Starting point is 00:05:13 They do. They've got to be the easiest fish to catch ever. All they have to do is walk by and just grab it. It's like, it's getting ready for being in the supermarket. It is. It just, if only for later self, it'd be perfect. Fish get no respect on a dietary level. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:05:30 No. But I even know some vegetarians are like, oh, but I fish. It's like fish, they don't count. Like even the way we kill fish, by like yanking them on a hook on their mouth, it's like, no, no, there's no feeling with it. It's all in the eyes. You never hear about the cruelty like that. The rule is if it doesn't blink. Yeah. Like you just look at their eyes and you're like you know what I don't care about you. It doesn't blink you
Starting point is 00:05:49 Dead fish eyes looking back at you. No Maybe it's because they don't breathe oxygen like well They don't like breathe air they can get oxygen out of water like we can't we can't relate to that jealous I guess we can relate to we're angry But no, I was gonna say we relate to dolphins and whales, but those are mammals. They'd be there. Yeah, and they're cool. They're playing. Yeah, see. I hate fish, though.
Starting point is 00:06:08 It does. Like fish has a different rule, right? Yeah. It's also like, you know, I've always thought it was interesting. What we call food when it's alive versus when it's food, like cow is beef, you know, we don't call it cow. Right. And, you know, pig becomes pork, you know, but chicken is still chicken.
Starting point is 00:06:24 The poetry of poultry. The English language. Yeah, but even like there's polia you know, but chicken is still chicken the poetry of poultry English language, but even like there's polio poultry, but people are more Incompetent I guess poultry like fish is always fish. There's no other word for fish Hmm, and also it's like generic terms. It's like fish every kind of fish They did there was one kind of like fish like office sound South American coast like they renamed it Talapea Oh, no, I remember because on sets they would serve Talapeo all the time., they renamed it Talapea. Oh, no. I remember, because on sets, they would serve Talapea all the time. Oh, it was Talapea today.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, it was Talapea. But like, five years earlier, there was no Talapea. They just invented the term. You said, how would happen? Because I wondered. Like, one day, it was like, you saw Talapea. Everyone was like, where the fuck did this fish come from? For example, it was a naming thing.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Cover this. It was like in South America. And it was like, South America was just like, this is like the garbage thing. No one wants to eat the trash fish. That's America. South America was just like the garbage thing. No one wants to eat the trash fish. That's right. That's right. No one wants to eat the garbage fish. I think it's just marketing. But it is. Let's rename it the topia.
Starting point is 00:07:13 We want to bet on what it is. Like carp. What is it? Oh, I don't know. I have no idea. There was another fish like that too, wasn't there? Well, there's Tomahey Mahey is dolphin. That was originally called dolphin. I thought Mahey Mahey was tuna. No, it's Mahey Mahey is dolphin. That was originally called dolphin. I thought my my my was tuna No, it's my my his own fish. I realized it was called dolphin original fish But it's because it sounds like dolphin
Starting point is 00:07:32 You know you're just making shit up now. Aren't you? No? I'm pretty sure there is a dolphin fish as opposed to a dolphin mammal We can eat dolphins right? I'm only up to a lot of you like can't we eat dolphins? What's that? Hey, what's up, Cara? So Cara, everyone in here thinks you killed the fish. Did you kill the fish? I changed his water yesterday and I thought that would make him happier living in a clean
Starting point is 00:07:55 environment, but I guess it stressed him out. You're like that. Aliens, it come to the plant. Are you sad? I am very sad. It broke my heart when I went in I Almost cried this morning Like she's like I heard a scream come from the kitchen That's all bad because every day you genuinely were like I love that you're taking care of the fish
Starting point is 00:08:15 I loved it when I first saw it on the table I walked up to the bullpen and I was like is someone taking care of this fish like I don't want to see this thing dead tomorrow Because like someone just brought it here and threw it on the table. How is it not gonna be dead? How, it's not possible. I just want to make sure that someone was at least trying. They're exploiting human beings in this building. We can keep a fish alive.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah, I want to make sure that someone was at least giving it food. Yes. And it wasn't just gonna like, there was not an animal in our building like having this tortured existence like dying because it was being ignored. Well, he lost it a while how long did it last like two weeks? like three weeks? that's how long they live man
Starting point is 00:08:50 right? something like that how long does a goldfish live? i don't know let's let's try to see him all right what is the life expectancy of a goldfish? what is the life expectancy? now is this an environment with or without care? that's the question you know what i think you know what? You know what I think you killed it? Is the changing of the temperature. I exactly and I purposely put warm water and thinking that way.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Oh, it should have been cold. No, no. No. It's just a different, they're very fragile in the different temperatures. A lot of times what they say to do is you take water from the old bowl and you put it in a ziplock bag and then you put the fish in there.
Starting point is 00:09:25 All right. And then put the whole Ziploc bag in the water so it acclimates to the temperature slowly. Right. Second installation. Right. And then you dump the water in with the fish. You know what, think about it this way.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You know Wikipedia says, guess how long a goldfish can live? Don't say it. How long? Well, what kind of goldfish? Yes. It's Wikipedia too. I'm going to say a year.
Starting point is 00:09:44 10 years. 10 years? No way. No way. No way. Well, what kind of goal guess it's Wikipedia to I'm gonna say a year Ten years ten years No, I call bullshit Bullshit, well think about it this way Cara you gave it the ultimate place to live now. It's in heaven It's it's never gonna worry about seeing you again actually. It's I would call it She's getting sad. Look I listen. I worry about the fish the lifespan of a goal fish in captivity can extend beyond 10 years. No This how's the average life What is it me in captivity? It's a goal fish. What's the longest anyone's ever seen a goal fish live I swear to God I've never seen a goal fish make it through a year
Starting point is 00:10:16 Now I've never they're like the hamsters of the sea world I had one almost make a year but then the other one killed it and then it died shortly after I had a baby make a year but then the other one killed it and then it died shortly after. I had a beta fish that lived for three years so we should get a beta next. Beta's are different, but they're also much pickier. What's about their environment? What's a beta? They live in a bowl of size like the equivalent of like 150 square foot apartment and you have to have a heater for their bowl.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Oh, get out of here. Yeah. I never see a beta bowl heater. What's a, what's a beta? You haven't? No, they sell it. It's a heater. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Beta it's a fighting fish. Oh fighting fish. Yeah. It's not a fighting fish. The fish is fight Beta's dude. People I say was a beta fish fight. I've never have you ever been to a beta fight like an underground beta fight in the middle of the night Where you're like throwing down cash
Starting point is 00:11:00 Kick that in a hole Fighting beta But we know it's just like the the thing you brought about eating them earlier. No one cares Fish fighting. That's what they do. They were dogs and you get you're not quarterback Like I have the Wikipedia entry for tilapia. That's what a tilapia looks like that is not all what I thought it would look like Yeah, it looks kind of like a snake. It just looks like a perch or something to me. It looks I don't need it It looks like a perch or something to me. It looks I don't need it looks like a fucking fish Yeah, they all look like fucking fish
Starting point is 00:11:27 You know how many tilapia platters have you eaten you've eaten a lot of tilapia in your life? I assume you've never seen one before you didn't care. It's like it's just fish. It doesn't matter I did go to like a Chinese food. I don't know if it was Chinese I don't know what it was and I ordered this weird plate and basically they just take the fish and They flash fry it and then they put it on a plate and that's it. That's your dinner. I thought about it. The expression on the fish's face is like captured in that moment. He's like Han Solo. That's kind of like in the car. You want to hear something even worse? You want to hear something even worse? But again, this
Starting point is 00:11:59 goes to show that people don't care about fish. Did this involve something shooting out of your nose? There's. There's a. I think I know what you're gonna say. Yeah, there was a sushi, I've seen this video on YouTube. There's a sushi place in Japan where they'll serve you sushi, but when they cut the meat off the fish, they put the fish back into the fish tank. Oh! And it still swims around, so as you eat it,
Starting point is 00:12:17 it's still swimming with all of its meat. Yeah, that's incredible. That's awful. Yeah. Inhumane. Yeah, I've also seen one where they take the fish out immediately. Don't kill it. They just prepare it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So you're eating off the side of the fish while it's still a lot. Oh, I've seen that too. Yeah. It's like that Simpsons with the bacon pig that gives Homer bacon in heaven or whatever. And it just pulls it off the side. It's like, I don't want that's terrible. Here's, yeah. Here's what I'm afraid of.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Like, you saw that where like an internet video. Yeah, of course. I'm worried that like aliens are going to get that video first. Yeah. You know what I'm afraid of like you saw that where like an internet video. Yeah, of course I'm worried like aliens are gonna get that video first Yeah, you know what I mean of us and that's gonna be their introduction to humans There's gonna be like a fish race of aliens The aliens are gonna be like that's how they shake hands. Yeah, or this is really good Things while they're still alive good. Okay. We can we can that they're cool them well. They're alive We must understand all right. Well, thanks Cara., Cara. We'll make you feel bad again eventually. So the mahi mahi or
Starting point is 00:13:06 Common dolphin fish is a surface-dwelling ray finned Fish found in offshore temperate tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Interesting. So the dolphins the dolphin fish is the Mahi mahi. I don't want to dwell on it too long, but you're gonna say about it renamed it. Yeah, of course Yeah, I'm still looking at our dolphin. I would did did the article say what the top you used to be called or did it used to have a I don't see anything about that in here Yeah, and I'm all I swear to God I've not I did not hear of a top you before like five years ago. Yeah, there's stuff like that all the time though It's not just food. It's like products
Starting point is 00:13:38 Do you like those folding chairs that people have for tailgating now that like they tell us go up into that like tube? Yeah, you know those things didn't exist and all of a sudden they made one of those and then everybody they make them now they're like five bucks for a folding chair and they're everywhere. Now the newest thing is like those those cups with the lid with a straw on them too. It's like they just, it's manufacturing those like crazy. Every couple of years it's like some weird item that like crops up and manufacturing that is suddenly pervasive everywhere.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Like the baby in the car sign It's just like bam everyone has one they're gone. The baby on board sign. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's old Does that time ago, but I don't know where's the beat with this bad shit? Yeah, exactly When I was in New Zealand I was on the train. I was Talking with people and I stopped in Graymouth which is in the west side of the South Island of New Zealand. It sounds like you're in Skyrim. But go ahead.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I know, right? And it looks like it, too. And I was asked, you know, I'm going to go get some meat. What should I eat? And they said, oh, you have to get white bait. And I said, white bait. What is that? It's a local fish.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's these little bitty fish. And they put them in a fritter and they fry them up. And I tried to shape them and then you shape you want. It's basically like a plate of minnows that are like, you're like shaping them into a duck. Exactly. And then it's just duck. Fish fillets like that.
Starting point is 00:14:51 It's like the foil leftover is, but it's that. Right, right. So it was like a mass of fried minnows? Yeah, so I had a minnow fritter. Was it good? What? Was it good? I ate it.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah, I was pretty good. Did you taste like fried? People always complain that fish tastes like fish. I don't complain about that. I like fish. Well, you know what you're getting at least. People who like, usually to me don't like fish are always the texture people. They're like, oh, I don't like the texture of fish. So they get fixed taste of the fish.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I hate fish. We don't have any fish. She's awesome. I hate fish so much. See, there's no food I hate. I can't even actually like what's a fish you like. Like, there's basically two categories of fish There's fish and tuna and that's it. Yeah, or or salmon like sometimes people do a fish like salmon, right? You like salmon? Mm-hmm. What's wrong with you? Mm-hmm. Well, you like fish. I don't know. I don't know. It's weird I'll admit it's weird. I just can't stand something about
Starting point is 00:15:39 Like you said the texture the texture and then the smell gets me the smell makes me think about the texture And it's like you gagging it makes me want to gag. Like really? This the thought of fish is so fucking vile and revolting to me. It's really interesting. Like when I was eight, they took me out fishing out into the Atlantic Ocean, and that's why I learned the term dramemming. Oh yeah. And I turned the dramemming down, that is a huge mistake, because, um, wow dude, I got so seasick on that.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I mean, it was just like, I threw up and threw up and threw up and threw up and threw up and got to the point where just like Okay, I just can't I mean through up you're out. I'm sorry. He's just like I'm done and Yeah, boats are different. They say hey, we're gonna go out about two miles. You're like okay two miles but then Three hours later you're still in the boat like going out there. You don't really how far you're terrible and like the people who are operating The boat laugh at you. They're like, ha, ha, ha, look at the land lover throwing up everywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:29 And it's terrible. I read, I don't know how much truth there is to this, but I read once that C-sickness is the body's response because it thinks that it has been poisoned or there's something bad in the body, which is why you can't control these little things. This is why everything goes fucking wrong with the body. Like people who are like allergic to bees and all that say it's like the body is trying to defend itself over defending itself
Starting point is 00:16:48 But just like the body we just calm the fuck down It's not trying to defend everything like we wouldn't have these problems What happens when you get poisoned and you need to throw up? You just want to know how it happens. I get poisoned a lot. I don't know me. I mean I guess there's food poisoning Oh the second started that again. That was last week I don't know about you. I mean, I guess there's food poisoning. Oh, the second started up. That again, that was last week.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Like, what? Like every time we get this group together, it's just like throwing up and fish and I don't know. I just think about Skyrim. Yeah, I brought, I brought Kerian. Talk about Skyrim. Talk about Skyrim. What was that?
Starting point is 00:17:15 What was that one mission in Skyrim? Were you supposed to go and kill the little fish? It's a starting mission. I'm going to, before I start talking about Skyrim, I'm going to prep this by saying that I think I have a zit in my nose and it's making me really angry because it hurts a lot. You know, if that thing pops and it being shoots out, I'm going before I start talking about skyrim I'm gonna preface this by saying that I think I have a zit in my nose And it's making me really angry because it hurts a lot. You know if that thing pops and a bean shoots out I'm gonna be Has it been there for three years? No
Starting point is 00:17:33 And the entire time you've known Kerry Like I always said that I never was big fan of more wind or oblivion like I don't like those open world games So but and I feel like I play both of those games for like an hour or two and I gave up on them so this time with Skyrim came out everyone's so fucking excited about it I was like I'm gonna I'm really gonna play everybody as fucking excited about it I'm gonna I'm gonna play this game I'm gonna play the main storyline through completion and I did that and I still don't understand the appeal however that being said I cannot stop playing the game I don don't know. I think the
Starting point is 00:18:05 game has some kind of like some kind of I can't stop doing it. I don't enjoy it, but I'm doing it anyway. Yeah. I know that. And it's like, and I'm encountering the same problem I had with New Vegas. And I guess fallout in general, where as I play more, the loading screens are taking longer and longer so it's like that scary Yeah, anytime I go through I like I have to optimize my gameplay to go through as few doors as possible Uh-huh, it's like we talked about this. That's such. Yeah, it's like Skyrim now. Yeah, so it's like in it's Skyrim For example, you can buy a house that's next to a forge and I do a lot of blacksmithing So I'll go into my house takes forever. I'll get like my iron. I'll go out of my house and be like
Starting point is 00:18:44 Fuck, I forgot the leather like there was ten minutes. I'll go out of my house and be like, fuck, I forgot the leather Like there was ten minutes. I gotta go back into my house and come back out. I Hate that. Yeah, it's like it I haven't noticed that but I think I'm going to now and I have to go through doors all the time. Yeah Doors or fast traveling forget about it. Yeah, I haven't played Skyrim yet So it's like basically every time you go through a door you get into a loading screen Well, it's actually when you go to a different zone you can think about it that way or when you fast travel I see and
Starting point is 00:19:08 And you get to do because you'll fast travel and then you'll immediately go into a door Yeah, so you just go from loading screen type two steps to loading screen It's like I want to go talk to that king over there. I'm gonna fast travel to his palace Oh, yeah, you're through two loads. Yeah, like I load to get to his palace then I have to load This is like traveling this is like traveling through LAX I mean, it's like the, it's the same thing. If only it made me take my shoes off. Like, it's an extensive security.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And the other thing that's driving me crazy is it has nothing to do with the game and has to do with the people who enjoy the game. Like, I sent out a tweet that was like, I beat Skyrim, but I'm still playing. And every response was like, you can't actually beat Skyrim. There's so many quests and blah, blah, blah. I blah blah blah you know what the fuck I'm talking about I
Starting point is 00:19:47 beat the main story like I thought that way about like I'm start track the next generate like I enjoyed start track the next generation but like those people who are into start track next generation a little too much ruin it for you yeah no I don't know so I'm still playing it like every night I go home with the full intentional playing Saints Row 3 which I'm so great I walk up to my Xbox and I put skyry men and I sit down and I'm like why did I do that? No, I play Skyrim all night It's once you start man. I say I enjoy it though. It's a little bit different, but it's such I am touched it and I know so much about it like I know Lydia blocks doors
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yes, and I know that if you make 2000 daggers you get dragon porn armor. Yeah, I think it's 486 daggers actually My blacksmithing is up to 91 that's one of the things that's that's like keeping me coming back It's like I'm I've almost made all the daggers I ever need to make as soon as I get Make the last dagger. That's it. That's what I'm quitting is it just because daggers are easy to make or is it yeah? Yeah, they're easy and the ingredients to make them are relatively cheap. Got you.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And it does a thing where you can make the easiest item over and over and you keep getting skill for it. It's not like wow in crafting where as you skill progresses, you can't make the early stuff anymore for experience. Somebody who has more time than I do or can present this in a better way, they should collect that data, all that player data, from all the people who have forged these fake digital daggers, and how much total collective time that was. And then compare that to other projects where things were built, you know, like.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Like the Pyramid. Like, it's how I spent playing wow, what could have been built if wow didn't exist Yeah, I don't know if but that's like we need like the destruction of productivity It's like we could somehow like they someone had that deal where they're using processors They're sitting in the background to work on like You know real problems. Yeah, you know if we could somehow put that into video games where you're actually solving something in reality I'm like distributed computing but using people instead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah, we can solve the energy crisis. Like have like a crowdsource like SimCity thing to solve some kind of city planning issue. Or like traffic for freeways, exactly. Yeah. But I think like you know, it seems like something you could crowdsource that might actually work is. Let put out a simulator and let people work with timing traffic lights. And that people would play with that all day
Starting point is 00:22:11 until somebody gets one that's just, you know, significantly reduces traffic. As opposed to like a couple engineers in the city working on that problem. Yeah, God, that would be so awesome. There's gotta be, I mean, there's gotta be people who are like genuinely working on any other things. You know what, you introduce stuff in the reality,
Starting point is 00:22:28 always like made not equate always. I'm so glad you said that, because you reminded me of something that I wanted to remember for the podcast, and I didn't put it in my list of things to talk about. And it was a very, very interesting article that I found on Reddit. It was words that don't have any translation
Starting point is 00:22:47 into other languages, but you can explain them. You know what I mean? There's no single word in every other language like Shoydenfrau, which is the joy you get from watching somebody else fail. Very German. Very German, right? And it explains a lot about the culture too. I can't remember a lot of them off the top in my head because they're obviously four words, but they were like, had to do with the feeling of being around family and things like that. And I was thinking, so we would say that
Starting point is 00:23:12 because I was thinking what would be words that we have in American culture that we don't have a word for, but everyone recognizes. And you just nailed one that I thought would be a perfect one. We need a word for that feeling that somebody smarter than me is working on this and this is okay. Like, you know, like DT, you know, spraying in my neighborhood, that's fine because somebody looked into this and they wouldn't do it unless it was okay to do it. You know, every day, you know, that feeling every day in a mirror.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I remember that it's how society works basically, is everybody going, well, somebody somewhere has this figured out, but I guess some government agency Nobody has anything figured out the reality the idea that because someone's doing it It must be okay that they must have something somebody somewhere must have something So somebody's thinking about it right or if if there was something wrong with it They wouldn't allow people to do it. So the fact that this person is doing it in broad daylight, it's totally fine. It's okay. It's gotta be fine.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Or they're selling it on TV. This has to be okay. And then 10 years later, it's the lawyer commercials for, right? Did you have DDT trucks in your career? Did you take this prescription medicine? That's the big one I feel like it's always like. It's like a ratio of, well well am I gonna attack this problem?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Well, no, I'm not gonna attack this problem. So I'm gonna I'm gonna do the excuses someone else smarter than me It's like when you come into the office and there's a dead goal fish in a bowl You think I'm gonna flush it. No, somebody else is gonna do it Somebody else will take care of you. Did you hear that the Chevy Volt is have is being investigated by the government? I love it battery fires. It's the first car to ever have a recall based on a recall that I don't think. Oh, they haven't started recall? They're just investigating it further.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Oh, they're investigating it further. I think. But it's cool. It's like a potential recall for comedy timing. Because what happens is the car, and guess it, you know, correct me if I'm wrong on this. What happens is the car gets into an accident, and then a side collision. A side car gets into the side collision. You look at the car and you go oh the car is kind of wrecked or whatever but you go okay
Starting point is 00:25:13 we're everything's fine then car weights. Car weights quietly and then it gets just fired like three days later like it wait wait wait see they are everything's okay and then a burst into flames. Apparently if they get hit the side, they can cause a problem with the battery's coolant system, but it doesn't catch fire immediately. It waits like three days and then it catches fire. That's awesome. It's like a dick car. It's like I guess they were doing side impact tests that you know, whatever facility the government does that. Again, trusting someone else. Yeah, yeah. And they, I guess after the side impact, they put the car in the parking lot and they're like two or three days later, the parking lot was bonfire
Starting point is 00:25:43 because the car got fire. And I guess it's big later the parking lot was bonfire because the car got fire. And I guess the name of the car is vault. I mean it's like it's gonna have to burst into flames at some point. At some point. So I guess they've been able to replicate it several times so the government's investigating further to find out if it happens every time or not. I'm never gonna park one next to one of those every time. Don't ever.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I guess yeah you don't know if it's. Yeah. Who knows? Did he get repaired every day. Don't ever. One? I guess yeah, you don't know if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's, if it's Yeah, it's true. I had someone who was going to talk about it, forgot what it was. I get some more, I got to unlawist the word. Do you want to hear some of these? Yes. So I'm not going to pronounce some of them, but I'll try it anyway. One of them is Mama Hal Pnyat Tipei, which is the wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who want to start something but are both reluctant to start.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Should we, see, there's too many syllables in that word. He gets to the doing anyway, because they have to go through all those syllables. Should we try to guess what language these words are? Should we go with that one? Was it, was it? You'll never guess that one.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Should I try again? Say again? Mama Halapot, not to tape A. I'm gonna say, it's a kind of Polynesian language. I'm gonna go with Hawaiian. That man. It's, you're gonnanesian language. I'm gonna go with Hawaiian Yagen the indigenous language of tear Delphuega that was my second choice Okay, what was the original thing? I did a risk I read these are these are international words that everyone's listen to the meaning to these are words
Starting point is 00:27:19 It's some society has given that's a thing that everyone understands and they give an award to it I didn't understand that word. Not the word finish, but the feeling. The definition, yeah, the definition, but there's a single word word. But you get it. Like, Jordan Fried, you understand the feeling of, ha ha, I've, I've watching someone else fail and that's a good feeling. We don't have a word for that in English.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And there's, there's a Scottish word called Tartel. I, I screwed up, I told you. I think, sorry, that's all right. It's the act of meditating while introducing someone because you've forgotten their name. Oh yeah yeah. I guess that's so common in in Scotland. What do you do when you encounter a situation? I always go with the name of
Starting point is 00:27:53 the person I remember. Like if I'm introducing someone to someone I know already. I'm like oh this is like let's say I'm hanging out with Joel and I see Carrie and I forgot Carrie's name. I was like oh hey how's it going? This is my friend Joel. I'm gonna just leave it like that. You wait I mean I just leave it like that you wait for you to be like oh I'm Carrie. Yeah, that's right Carrie That was his name. I just walk away very awkward. Yeah, I'm just like fire Run I just got this phone call on my silent phone I have to leave now I put pros bonnet pros bonnet and this Pro's, vonet. Pro's, vonet. And this is, it's a verb.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Wow, it's good. It's check. Yeah. Wow, that's awesome. It's one point for, this is the word to call someone's mobile phone and then hang up so they can call you back. That's a new, that's a new word.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Apparently, they're, they do that to save the first color money. Sure. Yeah. So the second color gets the charge. The person who calls back. That's so current interesting I've never heard of that I didn't realize I mean
Starting point is 00:28:48 It's like a common thing in their society that they have a word for it And I've never even thought about doing that or never thought oh, I didn't yeah, I do it all time you do yeah Well, I it's like I don't know meet a girl or personal whatever It's like it's easier just to call the phone put it in the recent call list rather than write it down Hmm It's like it's easier just to call the phone put it in the recent call list rather than write it down Hmm. Yeah, but this is the for the intent of having them call you back you like immediately well Okay, this is I'm trying to say this one Torch torch lispenic torch lispenic
Starting point is 00:29:22 What what language that I'm gonna guess. You wanna use it in the sentence? Yes. Sweetish. I'ma say Russian. I don't even know. It's German. Is it German?
Starting point is 00:29:33 I was gonna go with German. I was gonna go on. So, translate literally this means gate closing panic. But it's construction meeting too. It's the fear of diminishing opportunities as one ages. Which is, I mean, I'm running into that headlong. Man, you know, I finally started watching the Louis CK, the Louis show. And that's like a very common topic of discussion for him.
Starting point is 00:30:00 You're aging and everything's going to shit and it's never going to be better. I love Louis CK bit about go to the doctor and when you're in your 20s They try to fix stuff and when he's the is in his 40s Mm-hmm. His 40s is like they're like man I wanted to doctor my knees messed up. He's like should I have surgery? No, it's like what do you think what it's my prognosis? What's gonna happen with my neagas? Actually, you said shitty knee There's no cost of benefit at this point did you know that he's Mexican
Starting point is 00:30:28 is he gay? yeah did you know he wrote booty tank? i did not know that he wrote booty tank i think he made a directed booty tank what let me see booty tank Louisie came it's got done everything yeah he's apparently his his his parents are from
Starting point is 00:30:41 Mexico and he spent like the first seven years of his life living in Mexico he looks like he's Scottish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it was the first word that you brought up. It was written and directed by Luis K. Pudy Tang. Oh, Shadon Freider. So there is an English word. What's that for it? It is epic, car, kacy, kaki.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I like it. He has trouble for us to be in the short. Yeah. It's literally weird here. I'm in front of my laptop. I saw I saw I think I saw this on red at the other day. Yeah, but they there is apparently I don't know if it's now or there always has been And caricacy there you go. Yeah, that's much better than what I said Ep it's from the ancient Greek meaning joy and evil I love that Man, you know, so it's all is one now Joy upon evil that's interesting epic epic Epochera kissy epicera kissy see that's the thing though. You can know those words and nobody know what the fuck you're talking about
Starting point is 00:31:30 It's like you're the you're the idiot who goes around through the dictionary looking for the longest word you can or the most obscure words You ever run into that somebody says a word like in normal conversation that you don't know It's pretty rare. I mean even I feel like it used to happen when I was younger No, really though like even like PhDs on TV or whatever this guy is an expert has a PhD in blah blah economics blah blah But it's like none of them talk like that. You know, it's like they're all just like oh, yeah Well, you have to you have to you have to establish a common set of communication like if you talk like that You know that the person you're talking to isn't gonna understand yeah Like even though you may have that vocabulary you may reserve it for someone else
Starting point is 00:32:03 So you think we like like two super smart, like PHD, like we need to get together and they have like a secret conversation. Or anytime they write. But you can think about it more. Yeah, exactly. Because there's like, you could paid more per letter.
Starting point is 00:32:17 That's a thing. Or you want to sound smart to your ears. Yeah, I don't know. It's just protectionism. Yeah, but I mean, I think that you will not encounter that simply because like I said, people want to be able to communicate effectively so they make sure to use like a base level of communication that everyone can understand. Like, I'm in thing. Talking with a guy that I know who just randomly found out he knows Mandarin Chinese, which was pretty surprising.
Starting point is 00:32:41 And he said that he knew he knows about a thousand characters of the written language and that if you know two thousand characters you can read the paper essentially. Interesting. Yeah, I think there's like there's a number like that that they use that for like once you graduate high school they're supposed to know so many characters and it's the equivalent of being able to read the newspaper. That's the way to measure it. Really? Yeah. Man, what does a Japanese or a senior Chinese or Japanese keyboard look like? What does that look like? I've seen Japanese keyboards and Korean keyboards. They look like our keyboards, but they also have secondary characters that are used to build the character so it's not like you have thousands of
Starting point is 00:33:19 Buttons you just have the fundamental building blocks of those characters and you combine them to make characters Amazing, it's just like combining letters to make words. Yeah, same same idea just a different approach I want to make sure this has nothing to do with the game so cool. Is it? Sudoku? Sudoku This is nothing. I know there's a Sudoku joke in there somewhere I read a story about the Sudoku guy. Did you read that same story? No. So basically all the Sudoku stuff you see in the US is one dude.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Right. We got the idea to get it right. He found it in a book. Yeah. Like a long time ago. Like every Sudoku puzzle you see. He like has the US rights to Sudoku. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:59 So when has the rights to that? Pretty much. Like he brought the game over. Uh-huh. And a long time ago, like the 70s or something like you got a book Wherever it's been slowly working on it or something like that so best part about the article was about How much the crossword people hate him like you're gonna he'll go to conventions Yeah, no go to he'll go to conventions
Starting point is 00:34:18 And I guess he's like he's the only guy in his industry He goes to these conventions for people who make gaming books, and then cross with people like, hey, that fucking guy. Like they see him coming in the kids' day and then he goes to like crossword championships and stuff. And he's like, fucking Sudoku guys walking around. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:34:35 What, why? It's like the documentary about the video game guys, you know, what was it, Donkey Kong or Pac-Man or whatever. Oh, your King of Claws. Yeah, yeah, those two guys, it's like the same thing. It's like we're gonna shoot a documentary and put like her lens on this part of society. And like, oh look, everyone hates each other. Everywhere.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It's universal. Well, he is like the perfect villain. The Billy Mitchel guy. Yeah, he kind of is. I guess he kind of is. That was a gold mine. I heard Billy Mitchell hates a snoku guy. I think the last time I think I was in the Orlando airport
Starting point is 00:35:06 Didn't we see like a Billy Mitchell arcade or something like a That's right. Yeah, he's like a branded arcade In the airport, you know, there's a third dude and that makes who keeps beating them Yeah, some a some Asian dude. He's a surgeon or something this gets better and better He keeps showing up and beating them and then nobody talks about that guy though. He'll be in King of Kong 2 What's that? He'll be in King of Kong 2 right the challenge or rises Let me see here though. Let me look up. I don't know how someone hasn't turned that into like a comedy movie Already won't see it. Well, but he went to itself some reason I want to cast actual actors in
Starting point is 00:35:44 Well, but I'm going to itself some reason I want to cast actual actors and I tell we ended up a reverse blue season nine ended up in the documentary section of Amazon somehow So now we're listening to documentary about the you and a C3 Lancer project in The future there's gonna be a lot of it's like because I think it's political. I'm sure I was probably I wonder if that's why I got put in the documentary section. Who the fuck knows probably Apple put some other movies ratings on our movie. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it was cool. They put us a movie, a Bruce Wills movie called Red and we had to go through and get that taken off. Oh, yeah. That was fun.
Starting point is 00:36:16 You know, you think they'll be easier or you get more attention when it's their mistake. It's supposedly something we screwed up. We didn't fill out something right. So oops. Oh, we need to get this corrected. But no no it's like just out of somebody said oh we're gonna attach some completely wrong thing to your deal that's an IMDB if you go to IMDB and you look at River Smooth just trailers for like some Michael Chick-lis movie on there we haven't been able to get that removed for like three years now and a Batman thing yeah they don't care no they don't they don't care is that help ourselves they're all Batman I don't think so just to just to bring it back real quick. Did you guys did you see the update that they made the Skyrim?
Starting point is 00:36:50 No, what update so they tried to fix there's like a ps3 issue and that got fixed But now some dragons full fly backwards. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I saw that their patch notes had one of the best Patch notes I've ever seen in any game and I forget that they're exact wording but it was something like fixed an issue where a character would show up to the players wedding dead. I think it's awesome. I wish I could have I wish I could have seen that. That's awesome. So air shouldn't be fixed. Why would they fix that? Why would they? That's awesome. Now the dragons will fly backwards and they will also when they see you instead of coming to attack you They'll just like go up to the top of the map. They'll just like that's maybe the super bug. Maybe they're scared Like the one of the dragon error that I've noticed in that game is I guess there's that one giant troll
Starting point is 00:37:35 I don't know what he is got a club China they just and smacks the guy and you go flying out of the upper atmosphere. Oh, yeah, don't fix that Don't fix it. It's a feature. There's been a couple of funny ones that are in in Game Fails. Yeah. And that's awesome. Yeah. I guess I feel like I obligated to mention since we talked about Game Fails that Achimahunter starting a new series today called Things to Do in. I don't know if you guys have seen it yet. What's this called? Things to do in. It's just like we're different ways to play the game and today's is Saints Row 3. You should check it out after after we do the podcast.
Starting point is 00:38:08 They tour in with virtual space. Yeah it's like doing something unintentionally today's is how to get rid of cops that are chasing you in Saints Row 3 quickly. That sounds very helpful. It's not. I have to like it. You use it in real life. No I know you would result in some serious additional charges. Gus got pulled over. Yesterday. I got pulled over yesterday for speeding. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And got out of it. I think I was going, what? I think I was going like 55 into 35 and I got a warning. Got a warning. I was like, as we were getting pulled over, I was like, God, I'm so sorry, man. This really sucks. And then the cop was like, hey, Gus, no problem. And now I was like, I just some so sorry man, this really sucks and then the cop was like, hey Gus, no problem. And now it's like
Starting point is 00:38:46 I just fucking hate you Gus. He's like a pull your work. He's your speeding. I was like, yeah, you know It's like licensed and you're an insurance. Here you go. He goes, all right. I'm just gonna give you a warning I was like, okay, and you walked off and then wrote the warning came back so I'm here to go. It's like, all right See you that's awesome. It was awesome. So is there ever received a warning before I want to say that? Oh really? I've always just gotten the ticket. So, do you do anything in particular and think that got you the warning
Starting point is 00:39:08 and suppose the ticket? I feel like this time, I didn't do that game where you're like, no, he's pulling someone else over. And if I start him turning around, I immediately pull over. So, I'm hesitant to get into this because I feel like I've discovered something but I don't want to leak that information. Because I got like it.
Starting point is 00:39:22 And I pulled into, instead of just pulling over on the side of the road, I immediately pulled into like a shopping center and parked in a parking spot. And you bought them a nice gift. So that way I can see you can have to wait on the side of the road. So maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Yeah. Just show my picture to your dead goldfish. And go, this could be you. What do you think you discovered, Joel? No, that's it. If the cop is behind you and the second you see the lights on man Immediately pull over no like immediately pull over and immediately go to a safe parking spot or wherever just immediately give up No, yeah, every time I've done that I it tends to be better than if I don't I know guy I know guy on who back in when I was in LA or whatever
Starting point is 00:40:03 He was driving from LA out to the desert. And he had a cop, you know, he was driving down the highway and a cop on the other side, the lights were off. He knew it was him, because he was going like a hundred or whatever and he was like, fucking, I'm going. And he went and just blasted, just hit the pedal and he exited the highway and then just stopped and waited for like an hour or whatever. And he never got the ticket never got caught or whatever
Starting point is 00:40:28 but it's like that's fucking balsy for it ticket for a beating ticket he was going really fast but it's like I mean that moment where you're like now I'm just gonna go for it that's that's fucking balsy that's tough okay is evading or evading the second you're like come on I mean if you're if you're going 100 miles per hour and the cops turn on the lights and start pursuing you and And then you go faster. I mean that's ice be chase that's Here that chart that's reckless and danger mint. Yeah, that's evading not a rest not a rest another one Abstruction just I mean that's I think technically another evade you're fine. Yeah, you're fine. There's right That's a felony. I mean, that's I think technically another of it. It's not a way to see. Yeah, you're fucked. It's right. It's a felony.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I don't know. I think reckless endangerment is like if you're going a certain speed above the speed limit, I think they can make that a felony. They like to get arrested. Absolutely. Yeah. And I mean, I mean, what I mean, what's they think that you're running anyways, and they're just going to write whatever they write? I mean, and they can write whatever they want. Well, have you heard of the thing in Japan with their cops, is if they catch you going over a certain speed,
Starting point is 00:41:28 I don't know what it is, it's 120, they won't even try, because they know their cars can't catch you. So if they get you over a certain speed, they just won't even attempt to get you. That sounds like a video game achievement. And they're got like, they've got the cameras, right? Yeah, that or if they just, if they clock you.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I can't, they just give up as a strategy. Yeah, because they know that they will not. And that in the US, I mean, our car, yeah, the police cars in the US are not that, not that fast either. No, I mean, we're talking about, they're not, they're just standard, they're just standard cars.
Starting point is 00:41:59 No, they're not. They are, they're like Chevy Caprice's. Yeah, they're nothing special about nothing special. I don't believe that. Nothing, nothing, nothing special about nothing special. I don't believe that nothing So nothing I should say nothing special engine or chassis wise Of course they've been retrofitted with like shadowproof glass in the back and sure like Makes a car even heavier right probably makes it even less, you know Yeah, I'm sure they have some cars that are fast like some for speed traps, but I mean
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, so you play need for speed thing at the any standard we call is not. You just see the Camaro. It's not like that. So you can play Neath for Speed and you got the Lamborghini. Lamborghini, please. Well, they're using chargers now. I guess they are using chargers. I know lots of times that people on motorcycles won't pull over. It's the same thing where they know they can go so much faster
Starting point is 00:42:38 in Dodge traffic, but they'll just take off. Yeah. And then you can, you know, it's hide and motorcycle. But still, to me, to me, the name of the game there is like, even if I feel like the odds are 95%, let me get it, we get away with it. Man, if you get caught, you're fucked. Yeah. I mean, it's like, that's, I don't know, you're in a different part of society. I don't know, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I can do a lot of, I can do a lot of crazy shit that I can do. You cannot run away from the police.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I could not run away from the police. There's no fucking way. At least not that you did admit it on a podcast. No fuck out. I've never fucking did that to you. Fuck that. I got stopped. I was going 140 miles per hour.
Starting point is 00:43:16 140? Yeah, across the, from Arizona to Texas border, I was going 140 and a cop was coming the other direction. And I passed, I mean, the closing speed when you're going Other boys from fast so he turned the lights he turned around and I immediately slowed down now. I don't know Goodie That is the one time in my life. I got a warning you got a warning He probably his his his his his radar good probably did that thing or like clicked up the numbers
Starting point is 00:43:42 It was like error. I don't I don't know what happened I don't know if I was prepared or what had happened. And this is when I just got the car and when I just got in that car, I had the, I told you I had the chip that over revs the engine and takes the governor off and there's all that shit. So the car was all fucked up. And so after he gives me a warning in the middle of the desert, like two in the morning, I pull over to the side where it's dirt, it's all dirt. And he gives me the warning. I'm like, okay, thank you officer. I pull over to the side where she's dirt. It's all dirt and He gives me the warning. I'm like, okay, thank you officer and I just got the car and I don't don't exactly know
Starting point is 00:44:11 But I know every time I touch the gas pedal it explodes So it's like he just pulls me over he gives me the warning. I start the car. I just kiss the gas pedal and The wheel spin dirt everywhere all over his car. You probably shot rocks at it. I've probably shot I heard it I mean, it was bad like oh fuck fuck fuck fuck, but That was like everything I did wrong there and that was one time I can't he probably did not clock you You he must have probably thought you were drunk and knew you were speeding cuz you're going so fast Yeah, I mean I was I was drunk. No, but I'm just saying at that time Oh, what was he was was he stopped or was I'm just saying at that time of the night.
Starting point is 00:44:45 What was he was he stopped or was he going the other way? I'm not sure. Okay, because I think he was going the other way. I don't think they can use their radar if they're moving. I didn't think that either, but I've gotten a ticket for someone who was going the other way. They could just kind of do what they want to do. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I don't know. You guys are wrong, by the way. You guys are completely wrong. About the Ford Crown Victoria is a totally different issue, Crown Victoria than what's available in the public. I've talked to those cops. It has to be like, what have a lot of airy sites just to be even. It's a totally different car.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Do the cops not know? I mean, I talk, I mean, I have a, we would have them on set. I've been 10 hours away. I think, yeah. I mean, we've popped, we've popped the hoods on those sides. Even the drivetrain is different. What? It says it's rated, even down to the axles rated for 130 miles per hour versus 110 miles per hour for the standard civilian edition I don't know I've always been told that was not
Starting point is 00:45:34 the case but I've been told that too I guess Wikipedia proved this right but you know what also the other thing is it probably it probably varies also from county to county because there's no standardization of cars back pedaling back in lost Charactersation and lost angels California. I think they're not I Don't think they are Maybe maybe other places. Yeah, that's like that. That's like a reality show in LA all the high-speed chases and the freeways there Yeah, there's kicking out at night I remember when I used to go visit math. They would they would turn them on like someone calls you own entertainment
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah, there's high-speed chase on go watch it you couldn't get away when when there was in a high speed chase was like every channel There's no get away from it, but aren't they constant out there? They're pretty. Yeah, that's all there is there's a TV out there You're just watching cases you're either if you live in LA you're either sitting in traffic or watching it on TV right You're like watching someone go last and you're fantasizing that that's how you look at him go around on that traffic. Man, I wish I could do that. It's a marvelous thing. I'm not looking at the good times making. Oh, I would have taken to 10.
Starting point is 00:46:33 This time of day, the guy's crazy. But I think you never remember thinking that word. It's like, oh, don't go that way. You're like, applying strategies. I gotta say that if I'm sitting in like a two mile traffic jam and you finally get up to where there was an accident on the freeway, it falls in one of two categories for me. It's a bad accident and you see people on stretchers, you know, with neck braces on getting put into the back of ambulance is, we need help.
Starting point is 00:46:58 You're like, oh no, I feel terrible for them. Or it's people who have been in an accident and they're standing there next to the car, it's like fucking idiots. I mean, one of the categories I feel bad for them on a humanitarian level or it's just you asshole. The worst to me is when it's not even a wreck when it's just like a car pulled over on the side of the road and it's like some dude looking under his hood like hmm and like I've been in traffic for two fucking miles because people are stopping and looking at
Starting point is 00:47:20 a dude staring at his radiator. Like really I spent fucking 30 minutes because this asshole pulled over. It's not even his fault. It's the fault of everyone who's like, stopping and looking like, oh my god, he's got car problems. Look at that, huh? Or better yet, when it's not even on your side
Starting point is 00:47:32 of the freeway. Oh yeah. It's on the other side. You can tell there's nothing going on. It's a dude on the cell phone. Yep, it's on the other side. And people are just slowing down. Take a look at it.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I saw, one time I saw a abandoned white car on the side of the road and everybody stopped because they thought it was a cop People who drive old cop cars are dicks. Yeah, yeah, they really are and I mean kid You cannot enjoy this experience of owning a crown Victoria in traffic because an able Concert Oh, yeah, they slowed out around you everywhere you go. You're like I don't think you can ever enjoy the experience of owning Victoria. I just want to clarify a little further there
Starting point is 00:48:04 There's no upside. No, there's not. No. Some of the other additions on the law enforcement addition of the Crown Victoria, the driver's side seat, the driver's seat, I guess, to the passenger seat too, has inside the seat, it has a stab plate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:19 So that you can't be stabbed on the back seat. That was where they had like the New Zealand and in Australia, they had like those plastic like when you get the cabs So in America they have a plastic barrier between the front and back seat So you can't that's a protection right But Australia they just have like the plastic sheet Around the taxi driver. Yeah, and we were like why is that it's like oh, so you can't punch him Apparently that's a thing there because they have guns. This everyone punches each other.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Like people will punch the taxi driver and then run away. It's almost the last time I was in New York was the same way. I got in a cab. I had never seen that before. Yeah, I went this last time in New York. Where it's like, so someone could sit in the passenger seat. He's drawn the line. So just around his seat.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Someone could sit in the passenger seat, but you still couldn't, like I said, punch him, couldn't interact with him. There was like only that little slot to put the money so it's like death better than that you're talking he was like in a plexiglass box yes right this is like a like a sheet that he like is like a she is like a city center circle that goes around it oh weird so you just can't get a good good so like like him like cock your couldn't like but he can like lean around it and all this that's really weird it's weird it's definitely weird I remember thinking, well, that is really weird.
Starting point is 00:49:25 And the next morning there was a news story about some old guy. Punched a guy. It's like, that's so weird. That's kind of regret never having driven a cab. I think we might have talked about this before. That'd be a fun experience to drive a cab. Only if you're on taxi cab confessions. Yeah, I wonder how hard is the other job's cab driver?
Starting point is 00:49:42 I can't do that. Do you just have to have a license, right? I don't know. I don't think you just have to have a license and you can why would you either own the car or lease the car from them and you pay them Why do you want to be when are you a cab room? It's interesting to meet people sure Interactive people that I normally would interact with sure Or do you you probably pay a licensing fee to the city as well? For like a medallion fee or whatever you're probably some forms involved Always forms yeah, it's certainly to the feel like there's any additional requirements when I mean the cab I'm a Dalian figure. Get a figure. Probably some forms involved. All these forms.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah. It certainly doesn't feel like there's any additional requirements when I'm in the cab. I've definitely been in some cabs where I think anyone can get that job. Yes. I think I talked about it a long time ago. I think one of the first podcasts I got into that cab downtown where the cab driver was staring at me in the rear-view mirror talking about how he's going to put the light in me.
Starting point is 00:50:23 What? Yeah. Yeah. Look at what's fucking insane. how he's gonna put the light in me What? Yeah, yeah, we got what fucking insane Gonna put the light in you. Yeah, that is how good. No, no, it was like I got into the cab and Alex Jones was like blasting full full volume I was like oh shit. Yeah, it's like a board you jack You really do a shit to the jack button on the fly out of the top of the cat We didn't get any red lights if we had got a red light, I was gonna get out and run. Like, there's no way I was dealing with this guy. Gus, you should have just punched him and ran.
Starting point is 00:50:51 We had that guard. We had the guard. Sometimes that little metal, that little plexiglass bubbles for your protectors. Who is the first guy to discover that? It's like, yeah. Ah, there's a guard there. They're plastic. Where did that come from? Broke my hand.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Broke my hand. No. But we had the same thing in Boston where I get so aggravated with our group. guard there, plastic, where did that come from? Broke my hand, broke my hand, no. But we had the same thing in Boston where I get so aggravated with our group whenever we are at a convention, we're gonna go somewhere to eat, it takes like an hour and a half to decide. To decide for everyone. I know I never can figure out why, it takes forever.
Starting point is 00:51:17 And it's like at the end of a con day, when I was like, we're just gonna go eat, it's like, well, where do we wanna go? And then we try like five different places and then it's too long to wait. And we end up spending two hours trying to find a place that's less than 40 minutes to wait. And it's always paying us, but that always is like a meltdown.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Well, because we're hungry. Yeah. And you're hungry and you've been through a long day. I now have a thing. I wait about 15 minutes, and then I just literally just walk away from the group and get a car. It's funny because that's what is gonna wind up happening anyway. I mean, see they're gonna happen at the beginning of the process, or it's group and get the car. It's funny because that's what is gonna wind up happening anyway.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I mean, it's either gonna happen at the beginning of the process or it's gonna happen at the end. Because otherwise, what will happen is there will be three hours of chewier. I don't know if you're feeling like something. And eventually, you'll just hit the tongue and be like, hot dog. And you just walk towards the hot dog and you eat it. Sometimes you'll just see a piece of food. I feel like people see me have it. Like, I've encountered this a lot when we do trips.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I feel like lots of times people look at me as a villain because before we leave the event I'm like where are we going what are we gonna do? I'm gonna start making calls like no We have to start making plans now no no no like no, I start getting angry like no we have to start like that's come down Like I'm not coming down. Yeah, no, no, no, no, about 10 minutes. Yeah, they don't know Plus also by that point time Gus is also booked all over travel Which is the biggest pain in the ass for anyone ever? So you go through the process booking airline tickets sucks sucks. It sucks. You know, it's funny Is it I said to you two weeks ago? I said hey? Yeah, I bet you American Airlines is gonna go bankrupt. Yeah, let's talk about that. Bam
Starting point is 00:52:40 Bank rope. Hey, oh I like myself. I like the the the, don't worry, everything's okay email that they sent out. Yeah. To all of their frequent flyers. You know they read it to you? There's a bunch of these. It's like, uh, I forget, I forget the, I forget the exact word you'll pull it up
Starting point is 00:52:53 here in a second, but there was a, there was a phrase in there that was like, as far as your frequent flyer miles go, don't worry, the usual process will apply. Like, isn't the usual process during the chapter 11 to liquidate the removal of a frequent flyer miles? Don't worry, this will just be a standardized rape. There will be nothing out of here to that, it will be totally by the books. God dear advantage member as you may know as you may know as you might have heard on Tuesday November 29th American Airlines filed for reorganization under chapter 11. We took this action as part of our efforts to secure our long-term success in delivering the highest standards in air travel.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Do they know? I mean, we've flown American before. That's why you're receiving the letter. So why would they say, okay, go ahead. I'm letting you up. I found the fast gear. The advantage miles, those are my frequent flyer miles, that you've earned are yours and will stay yours. Subject to usual policy until you choose to redeem them for a great reward with us. They're yours to keep. It's a great, I'll keep all my miles, but we're out of business. So just keep those miles.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're sending you like a roll of tickets. And you can just get to keep them and just like have them on your shelf. Don't send your certificate. God. Redeemed for your advantage, my old. It'll be a digital one.
Starting point is 00:54:02 This is for the whole process I've been with American. Every time I get to a point where I can cash in those miles, I cashmen. Like I'm immediately. I'm the same way. I'm the same way. So it's like I feel like I'm ahead of the game. I do not bank those at all. I do feel bad because we did go to Australia, which is a lot of miles. Yes. And I haven't flown since. And so I haven't had a chance to cash in those miles. but it's like I knew This is coming like two weeks ago was in the stock price. It's been coming for like eight years No, but it's like you you could see the half-life was just like that it was just like
Starting point is 00:54:34 Clearly people knew what was going on clearly insiders were selling you can see the stock price fall I don't think clearly people know anything's gonna happen as a result of this Do you think there will be American like it's gonna be like pain am and it's gone. I don't know. I think go bankrupt anymore No, I think you're right. I think American will still be there, but I do think they'll have files are in danger I think they'll have you know some hard labor negotiations Some layoffs and they'll they'll still be around. I think I'll be the same thing as always I don't think people noticed in two years, you know almost every well They're the suckholders known as sure almost airline went through bankruptcy post 9-11, except for American.
Starting point is 00:55:10 I was shocked that they didn't. So, I mean, it's, they were overdue. Did they get a bail-out? All the airlines did back then. Yes. Yep, that's right. I don't think that was the last time that happened. But for a while there, it seemed like every year, it was they were getting money from the government. God, man, it's like we just never figured out.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It's like, wait a minute, let me get this straight. We the taxpayers gave you a crap load of money and we didn't get our money back. It didn't, and it didn't work. It didn't save the company. What's, what happens? Now now we've decided we're gonna do it with the whole world. You know, I didn't do it with the whole world.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Don't let you just piss me off, because I mean, I'm a business owner. And the idea that like, if you went bankrupt, that would be it. I mean, I didn't ever do it. Does it just piss me off? Cause I mean, I'm a business owner and the idea that like, if you went bankrupt, that would be it. I mean, we're not restructuring and getting money from the government. We still get our miles as employees though.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Yes, you definitely would. You would keep all your miles. They would be yours to keep. But you know what I mean? It's like, there's no one gonna help us. So I mean, we would just be gone. There's no culpability or there's no accountability. It's like, oh, I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Let me out. Okay, cool, I'm back. What we need to do is we need to institute new programs. Yes, into the company where we can sell people on the idea that if we go bankrupt, everybody's fucked. Yeah, exactly. So we're to be we just need to come up with some, like we can have an energy department maybe or something. Something like, I don't know. Like if people don't have YouTube, they just go right out on the streets. We can sell CDOs to like insurance on corporations or something. Something like I don't know. Like if people don't have a YouTube, they just go right out on the streets. We can sell CDOs to like insurance on corporations or something and in that way they need us.
Starting point is 00:56:30 We can't go on it. It's it's it's in the best interest of the country to keep us afloat. It is. At $40 million CEO positions. We need that too. Yes. That's integral to our business. In order to make the internet a better place. Yes. So I discovered something. Would you discover the internet? So apparently there are places on the internet where you can go and you can make bets on sporting events. Yes. Welcome to 1994. By the way, I think that was the first site on the internet. Yeah, and so I don't know if I should get into it.
Starting point is 00:57:10 No, I didn't know it. It's just a private conversation between us. Yes, so I had this thing. So let's say I gave them tokens. So I gave them some tokens, right, and I bet on some outcomes of sporting events. And it was fun to do with the tokens. And it went back and forth, back and forth. And like I was sort of down. And so I was like, that's it, fine, no problem. I'm just going to double down.
Starting point is 00:57:34 And then I'm going to be done. I'm either going to be done or I'm going to be going. So the UCLA USC game happened. And I doubled down on it. And I was absolutely right. I was absolutely right. So I was like, hey, I on it and I was absolutely right. I was absolutely right. So I was like, Hey, I doubled down. I was absolutely right. I'm done. So I go to the payout part of the site. I go, I want my payout and it gives me an error. Go figure.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Shocking, right? Wow. And it goes, Oh, you haven't met your your rule over requirement. So what had happened was I talked to not sure. I'm not sure. I talked to the guy at the place with the tokens. And he said, well, I'm going to cut you a deal, Joel. He said there's some costs associated with this. But we will absorb those costs. And we will give you a 25% bonus on your tokens. So and I got all that but what he didn't tell me is that now to get paid out you have to add your deposit along
Starting point is 00:58:33 with the fees along with the 25% added together and then you have to multiply 256 Which is 22,000 tokens. That's a lot of tokens as a joke but I Had to give them I Had to give them 22,000 Tokens worth of action to get my money back You're your bone. Yeah. Mathematically speaking, boned. So okay. But he'll fuck up and he got a sack.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Fuck him. That's what I'm gonna do. That's my fuckin' solution. So instead of just getting out even, I'm fucking get out of head. Fuck those guys. I was just saved for those of you listening to the podcast to tune in every week and hear Joel be right about everything that's coming. This is wrong. In the economic situation. But yeah, wonder how he's not filthy rich.
Starting point is 00:59:35 This is why. This is why. Because when he makes the money, he takes it and does stuff like this with it. You go and trade it for tokens in online sports petting tokens. It's like that episode of The Simpsons. Tell me Bitcoin. God, Bitcoin's fucking have come on. Yeah, that was bad. Yeah, that's an awful. So you're gonna have a very stressful weekend. Well, I'm saying is that UNLV had better not lose by 40 points.
Starting point is 01:00:03 We're the playing. They're playing TCU. I don't think I've ever seen a UNLV game. So UNLV who all those don't know is a college, I guess, based in Vegas. You can basketball school. And also a good hotel management school. Yeah, it's a really. And a terrible football school.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Yes. Which is what we're talking about. And they're taking on Texas Christian University. So the Vegas college people just have to not lose by 40 points. But see, and everything will be fun. If they go to college in Vegas, they understand the spread. So they are they are they how are they insented? They said they said the Hawaiian team had been shaving points actually. Really? Yeah, big like, yeah, big like a, ooh, big like thing, I guess to take it away from the Penn State thing. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:48 So no one's talking about the Penn State anymore. I don't know why, I don't know. That's all ugly. They're talking about why are you shaving points? That's much worse. Well, I don't know, it depends upon who you are in the story, I guess. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:00 I've derailed this podcast. It seems like there's a lot of controversy going on with college reports right now. Isn't there something else? Like another? Yeah, there's another yeah, yeah, there's another That's bad. I don't even touch that like I feel like I'm already burned out. I'm not burned out I feel like I've already learned so much about the Penn State thing I don't even know anything about the Syracuse thing like I keep seeing the headlines
Starting point is 01:01:17 But I feel like I already read that story no way I didn't Yeah, it was funny. All I heard was the blowback from the from the Penn State story where it was just like I didn't know what had happened, but I heard I knew about all the side stuff. I was like wow must something must have been really bad You like asking for sure, but I didn't know yeah So that was bad. Yeah, so Emily was on the podcast last week. Yeah, you forgot to talk about I forgot to talk about one of the coolest things that I wanted to come on and talk about yeah So as you guys know, we talk about the Alamo, sometimes here on the podcast. She's here right now?
Starting point is 01:01:48 I just asked for her to come down if she is up there. She wasn't here when we came into record. Okay. And the Alamo is a very cool movie theater where they do lots of fun events. And then there's also some weird off-sheet thing called Mondo. And I'm not exactly sure what Mondo is. I think Mondo makes their t-shirts and posters. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:04 And then they also do fun cool events. and they have Mondo secret screenings where you show up and they do something like some of the things they've done in the past in the world with Mondo are Alamo specifically they did it but they took the traveling road show screen and they showed jaws and to watch the movie you had to be floating in inner tube in the river while you watch jaws. You know you had to be floating on town lake essentially in a tube with your butt in the water while you're lost. Yeah. And they had people swimming grabbing at your ankles and stuff.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Did they really? Yeah. Why? Did they? Yeah. Oh that's awesome. Which I would say like no there's no way but after what Emily told me about the screening they went to, I cannot, when I was in New Zealand I cannot believe I missed this. It sounds like one of the coolest things of all time.
Starting point is 01:02:44 So they said everyone show up here We're gonna have a screening for a cool movie to show up and there's a big Joe we know a lot of people there's a lot there's a big film community in Austin where it's like Just show up. We're gonna have a screening. It's like well, what does that mean? It's like how long is it gonna be it's like don't worry about it. Just come to questions Yeah, and they'll go and I'm like well, how long were you know, whatever? They're like no just get on the bus because they literally had buses and they put everyone on buses and we're taking you to the screening, okay? So what they did was, they put people on buses
Starting point is 01:03:10 and they went to a local mall, which is Highland Mall. And mall should be in quotes here. Yeah, I am trying to be the best way to say it. So it's like a mall that's like, kind of falling out of favor. You probably have one in your hometown too. On the decline. Yeah, and so it's like, like half the shops
Starting point is 01:03:23 in there closed and in the city mall. It's kind of, it's a little shady, right? And so the parking lot was empty. This was at night and the parking lot's empty and they have police barricades up there and the busher was like, oh no, what's going on? It's all part of the experience and they had guys in the military out there with rifles, with blanks, and they were holding back zombies from a barricade and the the zombies break through, and the buses are trying to pull through all this, and they're telling people the buses just run, get in them all, get in them all, get in them all. And like you have to run through the zombie horde while the military is shooting at them, and you go into the mall to then watch a screening of Dawn of the Dead, which is, of course, where they're all hold up in a mall during the zombie apocalypse. That sounds like one of the greatest things of all time.
Starting point is 01:04:08 I would have freaked the fuck out. Emily said she was shaking. Even though you know it's fake, it's like games going off. It's so immersive that you get lost in it. Every week you do that. That's awesome. A video a long time ago about a guy who goes and plays an arcade game about zombies. Oh yeah. And in zombies actually start like attacking. I do remember like he it was a hypnosis thing.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Who knows if it was real or not? Like they hypnotized the guy and then they put him inside the video game. He just finished playing like. Oh, I think there's a couple of tapes like like I remember someone playing a prank on some guy where it's like, Hey, you're gonna be the guard booth here or whatever. and it's like they hire people to be zombies or whatever You get some interesting reactions that don't ever do that to me start killing don't ever fucking do that. Oh, yeah I carry knife. I'll go. There's that we're there's that we're balanced where it's like oh do I hit this guy over the head? Is he you know that's just they did a zombie walk in Austin where they just have random people dressing up as zombies and walking that was great They walked by our office.
Starting point is 01:05:05 Yeah, they had a bloody hamper in our window. Yeah, from what's your name? She was the girl that we, uh... Kayla? Kayla was in that and she was, she was like, oh, Kayla! But she was a zombie and she was like, put like a bloody hand on her, the way that I'm trying to answer this bloody hamper. That's when the zombies are going to attack.
Starting point is 01:05:21 But when's the next zombie walk? That's when we're coming out. No, but it freaks me out. I mean, there is like, I mean, you kind of walk around in the back, your head being mentally prepared for something like that, right? Absolutely. Then you turn a corner, you don't know that's the one. That's what's going to get you. So you're going to be like, ah, those Alamo guys, and then they're going to bite you. Right. It's going to be like, ah, this guy's got a great cosplay. He instincts. It's going to give you that moment of indecision that's going to be, that's going to cost you. Exactly. It's the moment of indecision.
Starting point is 01:05:44 They did that with, like, Fridayth where they took people to Alamo, took people and put them into buses and drove them out to a summer camp. Yeah, summer camp. Yeah, they're great with that stuff. They gave them like the uniform or everything. Yeah, and they spent the night out in the woods in the summer camp and then they had to watch Friday the 13th. Yeah, I mean, they also have like the guy who played Freddie Krueger and some other actor out there as well doing like Q&A's after the movie. I know. I think they had the dude who plays Jason Voorhees. Like they even talked about one time. He was there at a screening.
Starting point is 01:06:13 The guy who played Jason Voorhees. Yeah, they had like the guy in the spawning mask behind the mask. Not all that, you know, but still the kind of guy's like everybody knows him, but doesn't think that he's got to tell people that right. Yeah, David Prouse, but apparently they were doing a screening in one of the movies and he was there with one of the actors He was a kid who is now like probably 50 and The film broke and then while they're trying to fix it. They got up and acted out the scene Yeah, well we're trying to entertain the crowd Because then we went carrying out went and saw a lot walking dead and sure enough
Starting point is 01:06:44 Do we talk about this last week? I think I got the real smixed up. I know no We were trying to entertain the crowd. Because we were carrying out, we went and saw a lot of walking dead, sure enough. Did we talk about this last week? I think I think I have the realest mixed up. I don't know. No. Yeah, so I mean we go watch TV at the Alamo, we went and watched Walking Dead. But by the way, did you watch the most recent episode of Walking Dead? I have not, because I thought that they were going to show two. I think this was the mid-season finale. We talked about that last week, we were sure. So there's not going to be a screening this week.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Oh, coming week, because that last week was sure. So there's not going to be a screening this week. Oh, coming week because that last week was the last screen or last episode of the mid-season. But it was good. It was good. It was big payoff for the whole thing. It was a long kind of dragged out arc across like six or seven episodes. Is that last that last episode that we saw didn't really just kind of ended? It is. You're like where are the zombies? Yeah, where are the zombies? Yeah. So it ended well. I thought it was give thought it was great. That was great. That's cool. I'm still in season one I'll get caught up someday. I got I got that I got the Nielsen The Nielsen people sent me like a Nielsen diary They would have not they did it sent me the Nielsen yeah like even they like they had sent me a letter saying you're selected
Starting point is 01:07:41 We're gonna call you and I remember them calling me on my home phone which of course I don't have a phone plugged in so I remember seeing it flashed on the screen like well I guess I'm just not gonna get it and I just didn't call them they didn't talk to them it doesn't matter they sent me like the diary with Neilson stuff and I have not filled it out you're a bad person at all and they can do it give me five bucks it's a constitutional obligation to do the Neilson I know I should do it. I should do it. What do you watch, Joel? Like what? It's all mad money, right? CNBC? Oh, Bloomberg, CNBC and sports. Don't fill yours out. Someone should make like a like a mad money like heart throb poster. We can give to Joel. I also watch, I

What story with American I haven't watched it, but I watch it Oh, I see what you're saying. You're gonna gonna put that on your diary. That's going on those diary probably yeah, there's top gear You know, it's funny. I save top gear Like I don't usually watch it. I have a question about this diary. Do, does it ask like only what you're watching on broadcast or does it count stuff that you DVR or is it stuff that you're watching on Netflix?
Starting point is 01:08:54 Is it just a streaming service? I'm not gonna lie. I cracked that thing open and it had like 20 bullet point instructions of like, do this, but file out that. Make sure you vote but but but it sounds like yeah I'm not I can't it's thick I should bring it in you should see that I'd be interested to see that I've done like the the radio one before I've never seen the TV one yeah there's a radio one yeah the radio
Starting point is 01:09:17 on the even Senate dollar bill with it yeah they send like I have five bucks with mine yeah they send a couple bucks in it and then you like send it back to him and they send you like a couple more books like they send cash like a few that's really weird. I don't know if you legal to send cash. I don't think it's illegal. I just think it's discouraged Maybe if they maybe if they don't acknowledge you or something. I don't know if they use tokens Yeah, I got I got a total of five tokens in Thing so if it is something though if you see it if you see the dollar bill or the five dollar bill You read the rest of it, you know, I mean it's like why am I getting five dollars, you know, I get five more dollars if I read this Yeah, they
Starting point is 01:09:50 They do it they unlock the human psyche. They put it all together What's it all about and send it back to them then they send you more money? That's what it says how do you get in this list? I want free money. I don't have cable about it last year. I think I got I'm bringing three times will you fill it will you help me fill this this out absolutely. I don't have cable, but I'll do it I'm just a guy right there. You watch me. Skyrim. That'd be awesome. I watch Skyrim Call of duty. I'm like draws so I'm like I am the thing of white room I Watch I watched the boss root and show inside of Grand Theft Auto. That's what I watch
Starting point is 01:10:23 Did you watch that ever? No, I'm in Grand Theft Auto. That's what I watch. Did you watch that ever? No. So in Grand Theft Auto 4, you get to there and watch the TVs. And there's a boss from the show. And it was fucking funny. Yeah. I never really played GTA 4. Really?
Starting point is 01:10:32 You did? That was good. It's another one of those games. It's another one of those open world games. I played it for like an hour or two. I don't know. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. I don't get it.
Starting point is 01:10:38 I don't know. They're the best. I'm defective. Anyway, you're played the latest Call of Duty. I'm the only one, right? I finished it. Oh, you did finish it. Yeah. I'm by that, I mean I'd be a single player campaign. Okay. I don't I don't want to I don't want to say I
Starting point is 01:10:49 Don't want to be negative. No That negative that thing might have peaked You think so yeah, what what what do you talk? I'm sure what are we talking about Call of Duty? Oh, I mean What would you think of? I mean it was okay My problem with it was I feel like I'm rushing through. There's so many games right now. I think that's my problem. I've got to stack a game. It might be smarter for them to... I mean, I know they lose Christmas.
Starting point is 01:11:15 It's been a month and a month, but I'm moving the release date. They should... I just pumped through as fast as I could just to get to the next day. They should... When they released it last week, they got the biggest number that any game had gotten to that point. Plus, it came right after Battlefield 3, and I feel like I just wrapped up Battlefield 3. I feel like November is turning this big, like, just release all of the games, and that's it.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Storytelling video games is hard though. They had a thing, we'll listen, like, two, I wish Jack was in here because we talk about this all the time, but it's sort of like, did you actually hear how hard is that? Call of Duty. No, you can't be disturbed. It's working, it's a delicate artist. It's very strange, it's our list. No, no, we can talk about it later, whatever,
Starting point is 01:11:57 but it's sort of just like they had some very cool moments in some of the previous Call of Duty's, where it's like, oh, you go through a mission, you get in a helicopter, and then like they kill you, and you're like, wow, it's like, oh you go through a mission, you get in a helicopter, and then like they kill you, and you're like, wow, it's like a real genuine, what the fuck moment? That genuinely brought emotion out of you, like, you can't do that, did they do that, they did that.
Starting point is 01:12:15 And then they took that and ran with it where it's like every, it's every single, I have a theory about that. And you can't, like you get into every vehicle, every vehicle. Every vehicle you get into Call of Duty, it's gonna crash. I mean, there's like, you might as well, I'm sure I don't have like a cargo plane where there's a car in the cargo plane and you crash the car in another car in the plane crash. I mean, it's just like,
Starting point is 01:12:38 like, you know, now they have, on the beginning of those Call of Duty games, ever since the last modern warfare, ever since modern warfare too, you know, they have the no Russian level. level and when you started modern warfare too they give you the prop like this game contains disturbing stuff yeah that was and that was and they did it again this game for it like when you play modern warfare three for the first time since this game contains disturbing stuff do you want to see it or not yes I feel like what they should have done
Starting point is 01:12:56 was a head fake where you play it and there's like a scene where it's like a family and they get affected by something and some bad stuff happens you're like oh it's kind of fucked up uh-huh they should have had a second disturbing scene because everyone would have expected only one. Right. They should have done something else. They should have done something else because they had, they tried to one up themselves, I guess,
Starting point is 01:13:13 because everyone knows about the airport scene and the first one, that was sort of like, whoa, what the fuck, that's kind of crazy. And it kind of was kind of crazy. Now they're just trying to like, I don't know, trying to replicate that emotional moment. It's not working. Yeah, I felt like know, trying to replicate that emotional moment. It's not working.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Yeah, I felt like that moment in the, in three should have either been removed or should have been followed up with like, a second more shocking. I don't like to use a word gratuitous or whatever, but it was just sort of gratuitous. It didn't really have much emotional impact. And the story kind of like,
Starting point is 01:13:39 I feel like in the first game, the story, I was engrossed in the story, it was a little whatever. There was a story, but by this game, it's like story, it was a little whatever. There was a story. But by this game it's like, that what, there's no story. Was there a story there? It just was sort of like, no, we're fighting. There you should. The problem I had was by the time I finished it, I couldn't remember why we were chasing
Starting point is 01:13:55 Macaroth. It's like, wait, what did this guy do? No, it was just pasted together. See, even that you can name a name in there, like I played, I don't even, I mean, you changed the character that you're playing. Jack, Jack is here You go back in the day jack you go back and forth you different characters playing. I just like I Spence along on the levels because I try to play the hardest level to get the achievements
Starting point is 01:14:12 Uh-huh that I'm in that level for two or three hours You should put your narrative stuff in the interactive part because that's the time where you spend your most amount of time Yeah, something because I need a point where it's like oh my god that guy turned on us. He's against us He's the mole. Oh be awesome. I know who this guy was No, I don't even look at a new relevancy between the actions that you're taking in the gameplay and the storyline No, there's no relevancy whatsoever. So I have why have I been summoned? I was talking about call duty and what we were talking about about. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I've started covered, but yeah. Oh yeah, basically how like they, like,
Starting point is 01:14:48 it seemed to me like like Modern Warfare 1, they use stuff like when you're, I mean, we can spoil it at the point. When your character dies, when they kill off your character. I already spoiled it. Yeah, it seems like now like they just, like, oh man, that was a great thing. Let's do that over and over and over again
Starting point is 01:15:01 and all the rest of them. It's like they have one cool thing and this reuse it over and over too much. So anyway, I didn't even touch my order for three of them. I didn't even hit a nerve. Yeah, yeah, it was fantastic, but now then they overused it.
Starting point is 01:15:11 They didn't know how it worked in the first one, but anyway. Yeah, well it's funny when you're playing a video game, all video games are sort of relevant to every video game before it. And like that moment in the helicopter crash, had a twist on every game you've ever played. Yeah, that's never happened before and now it's like, I don't know. Yeah, watching the new go off and everything knows pretty bad ass, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:31 All right, well, I'm gonna get a lunch now. We're gonna go for lunch. I'm going to serrano's. Oh, good for you. Okay, wait for me. No. Get the poio, get the poio low. I'm meeting someone, so I can.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Oh, who you meeting? Oh. Okay. Are you bringing back a taco? Are you bringing back a taco? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no played the original Halo because it was Halo anniversary. And if you connect with that first story to, it's like everything's new and crazy, and like in particular Halo, and you can say it's about loss too, the first season.
Starting point is 01:16:11 It's so much about discovery. Like, oh shit, we showed up out of warp. Here's this Halo, what's this thing? Look at all this back story, and you're like, the whole story is like filling in this weird gap, so like, what the hell is this? And it's like cool. Oh, building blocks going into place.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Yeah. But then you got to kind of like later another one You got you can't keep that up. I mean lost was I think the prime example that where Survivor's open now and they don't know shit. Okay, the Dharma initiative. They know everything, you know But then later on we have to say okay, well now I'm gonna focus on the Dharma initiative. They can't know everything So they don't know shit either, okay, it's all about it's all about Creating questions. Yeah, And the exciting part is the creation of questions. When you answer the gaps. Sure. But it's like when you have to
Starting point is 01:16:53 answer those questions, that's when it gets to be. Yeah. It's like in Lost, the first four seasons, who's the dude who did it? Richard Halpert. Yeah. Richard Halpert. Yeah. Halpert. He was like, we get to that guy. He's gonna have the answers He didn't know anything. He knew nothing. He's been there forever. He's been there a long-ass time He didn't know everything he was scared of everything. He's like what was the noise? That guy and then then they always put another level. Okay, Darmination does no shit fine. Okay the others They know what's going and then they have a leader. Okay, they don't know anything this guy Ben. He knows everything Oh, but look at better reports this guy Richard Alpert that guy knows everything Richard Alpert done no shit
Starting point is 01:17:27 They both report to Jacob. Oh, yeah, let's find Jacob. What is he do? Oh, he doesn't know anything either his mom knows something Nope, what the fuck is he fucking dead? This is sort of like the process of life actually I think about it. It's like that trust that someone else Working the way of the ladder. I just got to get to the guy who knows what's happening When you do get there it's like oh, well, you're just asking the wrong question really it's about friendship Family then you get to the right ears and they're like well, what do you think? Forget all the questions that you were asking it's not about those questions love it's your own Yeah, it's what is hard it is hard when especially when you like when you
Starting point is 01:18:14 Mysterious is how you start and people locking with mysterious. Uh-huh. You got a you got to go somewhere It's hard to go somewhere with mysterious, you know, yeah, well if you can go on period time If you don't wait for three years and you've won people like mysterious But they want answers. It's like conflicting desires. Yes, exactly You could satisfy one, but you destroy the other All right, we need to wrap up because we're going we have a we had a late start today So we know where Jack is going to lunch.
