1:00:00 - 1:27:00
BARB: What the fuck.
JACK: Wh-what? I’m like… and the Gav’s- a-and then I think like Michael or something was like, “Oh I think we have a new animator starting today.” And I’m like, “Is that the guy?” and Gav’s like, “I don’t know, I didn’t talk to him.”
BARB: Gavin is so oblivious.
GUS: Oh God.
JACK: I was like,” Hey man, what’s your name?” he was like, “Oh uhm I’m here, y’know, I’m starting my first day of work.” I was like, okay, hang on, let me go get Kathleen. And so I took the enormous effort of going upstairs. And the guy- I mean the guy literally sat there for twenty minutes!
BEN: So this how we greet employees, they sit alone for like 4 hours.
JACK: Yeah, brand new employee- well he sat there for literally twenty minutes, and he would’ve kep-kept sitting there if I hadn’t done something for him.
BARB: Awww.
GUS: That’s fuckin’ funny.
BEN: No.
JACK: I was like, “Gavin you fucker!” He was like I dunno, I don’t care-
JOEL: So have you ever seen F- Fight Club, Where you have to like, stand at a doorstep for two days?
BARB: Yes.
JOEL: You have to really really want to animate.
JACK: Yeah.
JOEL: That’s how it works.
BARB: Mmhmm.
JOEL: D-don’t stand at our doorstep for two days.
JACK: No, no.
BEN: I was like should’ve had a USB thumb drive because he could’ve been stealing all our stuff.
JACK: We-we should also- Should we mention now, I-I don’t know if you wanna come to this now but should we mention we are now closing our office the week before and after RTX?
BARB: Before and after.
BEN: It’s already closed, isn’t it?
BARB: No tours.
JACK: No tours at all, no fans or anything like that. Sorry, we’re just crazy busy prepping for and recovering from it.
BARB: We also are gonna have thousands of people in town who know about Rooster Teeth, and we cannot accommodate.
GUS: So w-we-we-we would love to meet everyone and we will meet everyone… a-at-
BARB: At the event.
JACK: At RTX.
GUS: - at the Convention Centre, at RTX.
JACK: Please.
GUS: We will all be over there-
BEN: And also we won’t be at work. We’ll be at RTX.
GUS: Right, exactly, so…
BARB: And speaking of RTX…
GUS: What?
BARB: Ticket sales end this week, online. June 22nd is the last day you can buy your ticket online.
GUS: Friday. What time? Have we set a time?
BARB: Uhmm, probably midnight I guess?
GUS: Do you want to go that late?
BARB: … I don’t know.
BEN: Quick, make the decision now.
GUS: ‘Cause I-I-I-I think I’ve ch- I think I’d turn it off manually. Can you turn it off automatically?
BARB: I don’t know.
GUS: If it’s manual then right at the end-
BEN: Are we talking ‘bout- Are we talking about the deadline? Yeah, we can.
GUS: Okay. So yeah.
BEN: So yeah, we just made the decision.
BARB: We’ll make announcements on uh…
JOEL: I went to uh-
BARB: …our site.
BEN: Pay there for, pay there for, buy your tickets at-
GUS: Shut up, shut up.
JOEL: no, that’s not the word. I went to Chipotle, yesterday, and the guy was having a hard time wrapping my burrito, and while he’s wrapping my burrito, he goes, “Uh, by the way, has Gus worked out my ticket situation yet, for RTX?”
GUS: Are you serious?
JOEL: I am absolutely positively serious. The Chipotle on Stassney, the guy was wrapping my burrito, and he looks up and he goes… he’s wrapping my burrito up and he goes, “So has Gus- so… I dunno if...”
GUS: Wow.
JOEL: He goes, "So I dunno if-"
BARB: Did you get his name?
BEN: That's a bit awkward conversation.
JOEL: I was like, "I don't know. That's Gus's department."
GUS: Was it the one over here or the one over there?
JOEL: Stassney.
BARB: It's on Stassney.
GUS: Oh. I'll have to go over there. Be like, "What's up, fucker?" Gimme a burrito.
JACK: It's funny, like people are coming out of the wood works now, like - so my brother-in-law is uh, he works at the city of
Round Rock up in North Austin and his boss- like his bosses kids were in the office one day and they knew he kind of liked
video game stuff so they kind of came up to him and they said, "Hey, do you know about this this called RTX that's going to
happen next month?" And he said, "As a matter of fact, I do. My brother-in-law happens to work for Rooster Teeth. So these
kids started freaking out, so...
BARB: That's so cool.
GUS: That's funny.
JACK: Anyway, it's pretty cool.
GUS: The other day, uh, this weekend on Saturday, I was down at Coopers in New Braunfels.
JACK: Nice.
GUS: And, uh, I was like- I finished up my barbecue and was there with family. I was throwing my stuff away and was getting
ready to walk out and this little kid like kind of walks out from behind me and was like, "Excuse me." And I turned around
and it was like this little ten-year old kid like in a baseball uniform. I was like, "Yeah?" He goes, "Are you- is your name Gus? Are you from Rooster Teeth?" And I was like, "Oh, my God." I instantly felt bad for every bad word I've ever said.
JACK: I know.
BEN: This is your life.
BARB: ”You should not be watching our stuff."
GUS: And I was like, "Yes." And he was like, "Oh! I'm a big fan!"
BEN: You're a childhood idol.
GUS: I was like, "Oh, it's good to meet you. Uh, don't watch our stuff."
BEN: Yeah, you're the worst childhood idol possible.
JOEL: We've got to figure out a way to clamp down on that stuff. How are we going to do that?
BEN: Fire Gus.
GUS: I felt so guilty and then he walked back to his table by his family and his father was like, "Oh, was that him?" And he was like, "Yeah." I was like, "Oh, my God. Get out of here."
BARB: It's like the kid at New York Comic-Con-
JOEL: "Was that the guy who taught you the F-word?"
GUS: "Was that the one?"
BARB: It's like that kid we met at New York Comic-Con. He was like a French kid and his dad was like-
GUS: Oh, yeah.
BARB: - talking about Rage Quit. He was like, "Yes! Yes! Yell at him! Yes!"
JACK: So, uh, my girlfriend listened to last week's podcast-
GUS: Uh-huh.
JACK: And she was like, "You have a filthy mouth!" And I was like, "I really don't but every- when I get mad I, you know, curse at people." And like, you start thinking about that stuff, like, yeah. My parents are coming to RTX and I'm like nervous about like what's going to happen at RT- like something is going to happen-
BEN: Anything can happen.
BARB: Well, of course something is going to happen at RTX.
JOEL: That's- that's- that's like embarrassing.
JACK: Yeah. It's like, "Goddamit."
BARB: Everything will happen.
BEN: Everything will, yes.
JACK: Hopefully our fans will be respectful and will not be raging douches but I have a feeling that there will be one or two raging douches out in the crowd.
BEN: A few shoes flying around. Don't- don't throw shoes.
JOEL: Just- just- just eat their face.
JACK: Oh, no. I'll say, if you throw a shoe at me, I'm keeping it. That's it. I will destroy it and keep it.
BEN: Burn it in front of their face!
BARB: I honestly don't think you have to worry because I've been to so many events with the Rooster Teeth community that like- they're the most respectful group of people. Like everyone's like representing Rooster Teeth and really-
JACK: You hear that, Rooster Teeth audience?
BARB: No, I mean it's-
JACK: You are respectful.
BARB: Even at the last RTX, I think the security people were like, "Man, like for such a large group of people, you guys are really respectful and like kind to each other and everyone's friends and it's awesome."
JOEL: Unless you're on a DayZ server.
JACK: There's no water balloons this year so we don't have to worry about that.
GUS: Yeah, don't have to worry about that. That'll be good.
BARB: So yes, please be respectful of everyone and everything.
GUS: I can't believe it's so soon.
JACK: Dude, that's like three-
BEN: Just think about when it's over.
JACK: Three weeks? Two weeks?
GUS: Two weeks. Two and a half.
JACK: Ah, Jesus Christ.
BEN: I can see gray roots coming up.
GUS: Oh, my God. I've aged like five years in the last six months.
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: Your life expectancy's gone down.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: So it's in two weeks? Two and a half weeks?
GUS: Two weeks from this weekend.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: Two weeks from this weekend. So-
BEN: Man.
JOEL: Almost three weeks from now.
JACK: But not only that like- I know Barbara and I- so we're- like we have RTX that weekend and then the next Wednesday we leave to go-
BARB: On Tuesday. We leave on Tuesday.
JACK: We leave on Tues-? Oh, shit.
BARB: Probably.
GUS: Because you gotta set up on Wednesday.
BARB: We've gotta set up on Wednesday.
JACK: Oh, God. So then we go to Comic-Con. So it's like working RTX non-stop-
BARB: That's like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
JACK: Yeah and then go to- and then go to Comic-Con.
JOEL: Who's all going to Comic-Con? Do we know yet?
GUS: I don't know off the top of my head.
BARB: Well me and Jack are definitely going.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: I'm going. I'm actually bringing my girlfriend too so it's going to be interesting.
GUS: I think Monty is going as well.
JACK: Monty's going. Kathleen's going. Shannon's going. Jim Brown's going.
JOEL: Oh, jeez. You've got an army of people.
JACK: There's like six or seven or eight of us. I don't know.
GUS: Eight, I think.
JOEL: Wow.
JACK: Yeah. That's a lot of us.
GUS: It's a lot of people.
BEN: Golly gosh.
GUS: Hey did you get the email I sent you last night about Burkes?
BARB: Yes.
GUS: So I looked up, uh, you know the 'Erma Gurd' girl?
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: 'Fedurp durps!'
JACK: The 'Gooseburbs.'
GUS: I guess there's an entry for her on Know Your Meme and someone posted like the actual, like a regular picture of her.
BARB: Yeah. She's a hot girl.
JACK: She's hot, right?
GUS: Yeah, she's- she's not- I was always afraid about that meme that there was something wrong with her and I was
laughing at someone. But no, she's totally normal. She's hot so I'm going to continue to laugh at that meme.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: The picture I saw said, "Erma gurd. I'm hot."
BARB: "Erma gurd! Burks!"
JACK: Well that's like the uh, "I can count to potato" girl. You've heard about that, right?
GUS: Yeah, I mean that's what I was thinking of.
JACK: Yeah. Did you hear about that one, Barbara?
BARB: I did not.
JACK: So there's- there's a meme where it's a girl- a special challenged girl and it says, "I can count to potato." And so-
BARB: We shouldn't be laughing.
JACK: No, no. But it's been on the internet for like a long time. It's one of the like original memes. It's been around for a
while.
BARB: Okay.
JACK: So I guess finally someone pointed it out to her parents and so now her parents came out and made this huge deal
about it-
BARB: Oh no!
JACK: - and like drug her out of there like, "Yeah, we showed her all these things and she's so mad." And it's like, "Well,
why'd you show her?!" Like, "Why would you do that?"
BARB: Yeah, shelter your kid from that, man.
JACK: And so now there's an updated photo of like her and her mom and it's like, "Well, that's the new meme." And so, now
it's, you know-
BARB: Jeez.
JACK: Yeah. Just making it worse. Like why would you do that?
BARB: There's some memes out there that I really enjoy. Like I love Benevolent Bro Burnie. I love that meme.
GUS: But he's Totally Scumbag Burnie. I've been meaning to make a- to talk about it.
BEN: Oh, you were saying about that, yeah.
GUS: He fucking left the other side of the world for like three weeks and he left his truck parked in the best parking spot in
the office.
JACK: Yeah!
BARB: I actually- I could move it for you.
JACK: Move it.
GUS: Move it. Move it. It's like right in front of the door. He's not even in the same hemisphere. He's two time zones removed.
BARB: In Burnie's defense, he did feel bad about that. I was driving him and Gavin to the airport and we were leaving the
parking lot and he's like-
GUS: So he felt bad?
JACK: Oh!
GUS: Oh! Okay.
JOEL: In his defense-
BARB: He told me I could move it.
GUS: That totally fixes it.
JOEL: In his defense, he didn't feel bad. I mean, just in case you're wondering about that-
JACK: Can we just go park it behind the warehouse next door. Just go park it in the field, can we do that? Just go park it in
the old Immersion field.
BARB: I'll find a place.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: So. We should move that damn truck. Because it's huge too. It's like the biggest friggin-
BARB: It's funny seeing his car next to Matt's car because Matt's car is so like-
BEN: It's a compact car. It's really dinky.
BARB: It's the complete opposite of cars next to each other.
BEN: Yeah.
BARB: It's always really funny to see them and compare.
BEN: Its modernist.
BARB: It is.
JACK: So anyway. You should move that truck.
BARB: Okay.
GUS: Yes. "Move that truck!"
BARB: "Move that truck!"
JOEL: Where can we move it to?
JACK: Huh?
JOEL: Where can we move it to?
JACK: The Immersion field.
BARB: I'll just move it to the back of the parking lot.
GUS: Let's light it on fire and see how far we can drive it down the road before it turns off.
JACK: Or we could put it in the abandoned oil place next door to use that's been there for three years now.
JOEL: We could park it in the uh, Starbucks parking lot taking up four spaces.
BARB: Yes. It's true.
GUS: And then whenever someone gets in it, someone will jump out from behind the bushes and eat his face.
BEN: Amazing. It all comes full circle.
BARB: It's all coming together.
JACK: Can you put cream cheese on it as well?
GUS: It's a throwback.
JACK: Like, "Would you like this toasted?"
GUS: Man...
BARB: Gross.
GUS: I've been on a big bagel and cream cheese kick lately.
JACK: That's just so good. Like that's my airport food. I always get bagel and cream cheese when I'm at airports.
BARB: Have you ever had Einstein's Bagels?
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JACK: Mmm-hm.
BARB: I did not know about those until I moved here because I think it's an American thing.
GUS: Mmm-hm.
BARB: But man those are good bagels.
JACK: Did you get their clotchy? Like they have the big sausage clotchy. They're so good.
BARB: I have not. They have good breakfast stuff though.
GUS: They have weird hours. They're open like six a.m. to two p.m. or something like that.
BARB: Yeah, well I guess it's like lunch and breakfast so they really don't want to be open late.
JOEL: Hey did you see that announcement from Microsoft? Like was it last night or-
BEN: Yeah.
JOEL: For the new-
JACK: Surface?
BEN: Surface.
JOEL: Yeah.
BEN: Yeah.
JOEL: Um, I didn't- I only saw that there was a Surface but I didn't- I don't know. Someone just-
GUS: It's like uh, it's a tablet. Or there's two different versions of it. One of which- both of which were in Windows 8. One of
which is on the ARM processor and the other uses an X86 processor.
JOEL: How big is it?
GUS: I want to say- off the top of my head, 10.2 inches. Maybe 10.4.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: And the coolest part about it, I- you know, I can't judge it until I see it.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: You know, I thought the iPad was stupid until I held one for the first time.
JOEL: Well, people thought that about the iPod too, right?
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: Well, the coolest thing about the surface was that the cover- when you opened it, you could use it as a keyboard. Like
there was a keyboard in there.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Which I thought was a-
JACK: Yeah, it like folds out and there's a stand too.
GUS: Yeah, but the weird thing is- like I don't know. Is it trying to be a tablet or is it trying to be a laptop?
JACK: I think that's what they're trying to say. It's sort of a little of both. Like its-
BARB: The best of both worlds.
JACK: - you know, more powerful than a tablet but it's not- it's not a laptop.
GUS: Yeah. But the problem is that it makes me think of the old tablet PC's, which kind of tried to do the same thing years
ago. But it failed at doing either.
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: Isn't it also supposed to be really light?
GUS: They did say it's like 2.2 pounds.
JOEL: This is the picture I saw of it.
JACK: No, no. That's Surface. That's the old Microsoft Surface.
BARB: Oh, yeah.
JOEL: Oh.
GUS: Yeah, look- go back. I'll show you.
JACK: That's the one you see at like casinos and hotels and things like that. This one looks like an actual tablet.
BARB: It looks pretty good. But I mean, at this point, I don't know if anybody really buys into any other tablet other than the
iPad.
JACK: Well, I don't know.
JOEL: You know, you never know. I mean, you know, I didn't even know tablets were like- HP started tablets.
BARB: The good thing about Apple products like that is that you pick it up and you instantly know how to use it. With all
these other devices, it's like you have to kind of work your way around it to figure out how to do things.
JOEL: Yeah, it's weird. It's got a keyboard.
GUS: Yeah, I'm not crazy about the Windows 8 interface either.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: I haven't used it yet again. It's like one of those things I'd see pictures of and I'm like, "I don't know how that would
work." But maybe when I pick it up, it's like, "Oh, this makes sense."
JOEL: I'm hearing, you know somewhat positive things about it actually.
GUS: Yeah, I've seen a lot of people talking about it.
JOEL: I'm curious about it. I want to definitely check it out.
GUS: Do you know when it's coming out or anything?
JOEL: I don't know when it's-
JACK: I read a pretty interesting article the other day about when they launched the iPhone, Steve Jobs said it was five years
ahead of its time. And it has been five years and the iPhone really hasn't changed that much.
GUS: I read that article as well and that article was actually way off base I thought.
JACK: You think so?
GUS: Because if you think- people forget that when the iPhone launched, it was not the same iPhone that you use now. The
iPhone that launched did not have an App store. It was very restricted. Um, you know, it used an older network. There's a lot
of things that have evolved. It's been an evolution. It looks the same-
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: And it has the same overall interface and iOS. It wasn't even called iOS.
JACK: Yeah. That's true.
GUS: I mean, there are so many changes that have gone on that no one remembers that first iPhone sucked. I hated the- I
thought the first iPhone was cool for the touch screen but I didn't buy one. I didn't get it.
JACK: Really?
GUS: And then it wasn't until the App store came out and there was more functionality that I finally jumped on board.
JACK: That's true. That's true.
BARB: 'Sup Joel?
JOEL: Um, basically I need a vehicle to play DayZ on.
JACK: Day Zed.
GUS: You cannot do it on the Surface, I don't think.
JOEL: You can't?
GUS: I don't think.
JOEL: Why not?
GUS: I don't think it would be powerful enough.
JACK: So do we have any friends at Alienware or Dell or- someone that wants to send us some PC's?
GUS: Someone that would like to sponsor the podcast?
JACK: Hey!
JOEL: The thing is thought is that I don't think I could get a tower anymore. I'd have to get a laptop.
GUS: Use your laptop. Use Bootcamp. I play DayZ on my laptop.
JOEL: Oh, you do? You Bootcamp?
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: And it works okay?
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: It works- hmm. I don't even know if I have Bootcamp on here still.
GUS: I play, uh, what else do I play?
JOEL: I think I-
GUS: I play some other stuff. I play a lot of Steam stuff on my Windows side.
JOEL: Do you have a problem backing up stuff to your Time Machine with Bootcamp on your laptop?
GUS: Mmm-mm. No problem.
JACK: I can see the wheels turning in Joel's head.
JOEL: I mean, I had Bootcamp on here. I don't know if I still have it anymore. We might have taken it off. How do I check? Do
I have to reboot?
GUS: Reboot and hold down option.
BARB: Rebootcamp!
JACK: Or you can check- can't you just see if there's another hard drive?
GUS: Well I can see there is but it may not have anything on it.
JACK: Oh, okay.
JOEL: Yeah.
BARB: Have you ever seen- going back to the phones- have you seen that picture of when they compare phones from the
early 2000's to now and it's like now they're all square with a touch screen. They're all black. And before they were all like flip
phones-
GUS: Yeah.
BARB: - and like really colorful and shiny and everything. It's funny to see how that evolved.
GUS: Yeah, they look totally different.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: I remember when-
JOEL: I do have it.
GUS: - back in the day, God, when mobile phones first came out, my dad got one and like you had to mount it to your car.
BARB: Yeah.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Like it was like physically bolted to the car and had like-
JACK: Oh, Jesus. Really?
GUS: - antennas in the back and-
BARB: My dad's car still has that. It doesn't work but it's still in there. And whenever someone gets in there, it's like, "What
the fuck?"
GUS: Yeah, that network doesn't even exist anymore in the United States.
JACK: Wow.
GUS: The old analog- super old analog cellular network.
JOEL: Or so you- so how you think.
GUS: No, they turned it off. They reclaimed that spectrum.
JOEL: Oh, did they?
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JOEL: Damn. Reclaiming spectrums. That's not cool.
GUS: Oh, those phone sucked so much. You'd be like, "I'm in the car. And I'm on the phone!"
BARB: I know! Whoa! Excited.
JOEL: Yeah, I don't know what it is about- apparently my dad has the same thing where he has cutting edge technology from
fifteen years ago in his car or whatever. With his laptop of whatever-
GUS: Uh-huh.
JOEL: - with this, that, and the other thing. And it's just like, this is- this is not- this is embarrassing. This is- we have to take
this out.
GUS: You should have him get one of those new cars that has the navigation, like all the internet enabled stuff built into it.
JOEL: And he has- he has that. You know, it's like my parents spend too much money.
JACK: How is Google Maps not developed an in-car system yet? Like built into the dashboard of a car?
GUS: Well I've seen the new Toyota In-Tune system, which is their new navigation actually uses Bing Maps.
JACK: Oh yeah?
GUS: This part- they're not payin gus to say this, by the way. This is a totally free-flowing conversation. Um, it uses Bing
Maps and uses other apps as well. Like I believe you can do- you can stream Pandora over it and it uses the Internet
connectivity from your phone.
JACK: Oh, wow. So it tethers.
GUS: It pairs over Bluetooth and tethers.
JOEL: Oh, that's good.
GUS: It pulls all the data down through your phone.
JOEL: It's funny because of how fast technology moves and how slow cars are to keep up with it.
JACK: But if we could sit down in your car and say, "I want to go here to here. What's the traffic look like?" And then boom.
Traffic. Then it's like, "All right. Don't take that route."
GUS: My big fear is that what if you don't always have that connectivity? Like what if you're in a scary sketchy area and all of
the sudden, your phone doesn't have data and you're fucked. You don't know how to get out.
JACK: Well then you have a CD backup or something.
GUS: Yeah. You'd have to do something like that.
JACK: Or have it where it's constantly downloading and will save it locally once it's downloaded, you know?
GUS: Yeah, my car used to have like a traffic- like it has satellite radio in it and you can pay extra for traffic updates.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: That will lay real time on the map. So I had a free trial when I bought the car.
JOEL: Did it work?
GUS: It worked in quotations. But all the data I felt was like two hours old.
JOEL: That's the problem. I feel like I can never trust it.
GUS: Yeah, so I was like- I don't pay for it because in the trial it was always old data. Yeah, there was traffic there but it's
gone now. Or oh, now there's traffic here that it hasn't detected yet.
JOEL: It may not be there yet or you're just not sure.
JACK: How do you think that stuff is detected anyway? Do they have just certain cars that are marked or something?
GUS: I don't know. I think in the new Maps Application that Google is going to be bundling in iOS 6, that it sources data from
iPhones that have opted in.
JACK: Oh, wow!
GUS: So it detects the speed at which iPhones are moving and where they're moving and knows that there's traffic or not.
JACK: That's crazy.
BARB: That is cool.
GUS: I think- I think Android does it alredy with Google maps but I'm not postive.
JOEL: Welcome to Big Brother.
JACK: That's how Skynet started right?
JOEL: It's like just-
GUS: This is the choke point for the humans. Send all the humans here and then they will stop. Kill! Kill! Kill!
JOEL: It's like, this says to head toward the giant staping machine. We don't know why...
BARB: Have you guys seen Prometheus yet?
GUS: I have not. I want to.
JACK: I have not.
JOEL: You know, I went to Prometheus with you guys.
BARB: Yeah, you did.
JOEL: And we went to the Alamo.
JACK: Yes.
JOEL: And I don't have a good history with Alamo food.
JACK: Uh-huh.
JOEL: And um, there's a certain scene in that movie that is like pretty rough.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: But like, what was happening to the person, where they were having pain was the exact same place I was having
pain. But I was like, my pain that I was having was so acute, I was getting like tunnel vision and like breaking into a cold
sweat.
BARB: I thought- Joel was sitting next to me. I thought he was dying.
JOEL: I couldn't even-
JACK: He probably was dying knowing Joel.
JOEL: I didn't even register that it was my stomach that was hurting-
BARB: He took off his 3D glasses. He was like standing still looking at the ground. I was like, "Oh my God, are you okay?"
JOEL: I thought I was going to die. I thought I-
BARB: And then he like stumbled down the stairs. I was like, "Jesus!"
JOEL: I must have had like some sort of allergic- it felt like an allergic reaction or something. I thought I was going to fucking
die.
BARB: I missed a really crucial part of that movie because I was so concerned. Just so you know.
JOEL: I was sitting there and at the scene, I'm thinking to myself, "Well, I'm dying in the movie theatre so my choices are...
just sit here and die in the movie theatre or I can try and leave-"
BEN: And die on the ground outside.
JOEL: And maybe die in the lobby or whatever.
GUS: Die in a more convenient place.
JOEL: It's like when a dog goes out to the woods by itself because it just wants to die alone.
BEN: Right.
JOEL: It was sort of that feeling. But it was like, right after that scene. At the same time I was dying. And I was dying.
BARB: I could tell.
JOEL: I had two thoughts in my brain. One, I'm dying. And the second thought was, "God damn it, if I stand up and walk out
of the theatre now, it's going to look like I was freaked out by the scene." And it was like, I can't have that so I'm just going to
sit here and die a little bit longer. And sure enough, I'm stumbling down and I'm on my way out. I'm just like, "Oh God. I've
got to sit down somewhere or whatever." I didn't even know what was going on. Sure enough, like one of the movie
employees was like, "Yeah, that scene's pretty rough huh?"
GUS: Was he like, "Pussy!"
JOEL: I was like, "Yeah, that's-"
BARB: That scene was really rough. I was squirming a little. I had to cover my eyes.
BEN: I was squirming. But I wasn't dying.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: And so everyone here has seen it?
BARB: No.
BEN: I have.
GUS: I have not.
JACK: Gus and I have not.
BARB: They have not.
GUS: I really want to. I just I can't see a movie the first couple weeks it's out because I can't deal with the crowds.
JOEL: Yeah, I'm the same way.
JACK: Reserved seating at the Alamo Drafthouse. Probably the best thing ever.
GUS: Yeah, but it's still crowded!
JACK: Well yeah but-
GUS: See, my problem is not the lack of seating. My problem is the fucking crowd.
BARB: I like going to a movie with a full audience.
JOEL: And the chairs need to be bigger. If the chairs were bigger, it wouldn't be a problem.
GUS: No, I want one giant chair that's just for me.
JOEL: I mostly agree with you. Sometimes it's nice to have an audience. Like for comedies-
BARB: For comedies?
JOEL: - or whatever, yeah.
GUS: No, because then I get mad sometimes like, "They laughed at that? That's stupid!" Or then I'll laugh at something and
no one else laughs, I'm like, "Oh, come on! Really?"
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: You have to think that when I went to it, I hadn't seen like Alien or anything like that but the people I went to with had.
So like every few minutes of the movie, they're like snickering, like so obviously that's a reference to something I don't get.
That was the worst. If you haven't seen Alien, you should see it with people who haven't seen Alien. Because it ruins the
experience if you see it with people that have.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: That's the thing. It's been so long now. I wonder what's the percentage of the audience that has seen Alien?
BARB: What year did Alien come out?
BEN: I mean, I wasn't alive when it came out.
JOEL: '78?
GUS: I think it was '77.
JOEL: '77. '78. A long time ago.
BARB: Are you serious?
BEN: We weren't alive, so...
JACK: So Alien and Star Wars came out the same year?
GUS: I think so.
JOEL: Yeah.
JACK: That's cool.
JOEL: Crazy, right?
GUS: I've got to look that up now.
JOEL: It's '77 or '78. It's right around there.
BARB: Sigourney Weaver doesn't look that young though. She looks like she's- well, how old is Sigourney Weaver?
JACK: She's old.
JOEL: She's up there.
BEN: She would have been like 30 at the movie time?
JACK: She's probably in her sixties at this point.
BARB: Really?
JOEL: I think so, yeah.
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: She looks great.
GUS: Alien was '79. Joel was more correct than me.
BEN: I can see her as sixty. I think that looks about right.
BARB: Okay. I guess that makes sense.
GUS: She is- she's turning 63 this year.
BARB: Wow.
JACK: Wow.
GUS: She's currently 62.
BARB: You know what baffles my mind?
JACK: What, Barbara?
BEN: Tell us!
GUS: Magnets?
BARB: William Shatner. How old do you think William Shatner is?
GUS: Oh, I know how old he is.
BEN: Ninety?
JACK: He's like in his late eighties or something.
BARB: Late eighties.
BEN: Wow.
BARB: Like can you- that blows my fucking mind!
JOEL: It's just like Dick Clark where it's like, "You look great!" THUD. He just falls over dead.
GUS: Well Dick Clark had had a stroke a few years ago. He didn't look so great after that.
BARB: But like William Shatner-
BEN: They have their own like Hollywood magic to make them look young and stripey.
BARB: He could- he could be in his late fifties. That guy.
JOEL: Yeah, from a lot of the videos I've seen.
BARB: And he's late eighties! He's almost 90 years old!
GUS: He's eighty-one.
BARB: Oh.
JACK: Oh.
BARB: Okay. Whatever. Early eighties!
BEN: He's in his eighties!
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: No, I mean you look at the- the commercials- the Priceline commercials, he doesn't look eighty.
JACK: No. Not at all.
BARB: Not at all.
JACK: My grandmother is in her eighties and she does not look that good.
GUS: He's like what, Betty White's age? Or is she ninety?
BARB: She's ninety, I think. Or at least close to ninety.
JOEL: He's had surgery. He's must have had some surgery.
BARB: Yeah, he's had to have something.
GUS: She's ninety.
JACK: Well when you're in space, you don't age as quick so-
JOEL: That explains it for both of them.
GUS: You're not fighting gravity.
JOEL: Couldn't hear either of them scream. But they both look great.
JACK: Yeah, there you go.
BARB: Screaming ages you.
JOEL: Wow. I'm really bummed that you guys haven't seen it because I'd really love to talk about that movie.
BARB: I know. I have mixed emotions about that movie. At first, I was not very impressed. But the more I think about it, the
more I want to see it again and like analyze it a little bit more.
BEN: I think I'm the reverse of that actually.
JOEL: I would like to see it again because I missed like plot point three through plot point four.
BARB: As did I. When you were sick and I was-
GUS: The chunk? You missed the scary part?
JOEL: Well I've mi-
GUS: Hey, hey. I've got an idea. Let's play hookey. After the podcast, let's just go to the theatre over here and we'll watch it.
BARB: Let's do it.
GUS: I'll bet there's no crowd.
JACK: Prolly not.
BARB: That's true.
JOEL: I'm not- I'm not going to fight you.
BEN: Ah! He's got that nine-year old face again. He's really devious!
BARB: I know! So excited!
JOEL: We have a thing- we have a meeting. We can fit it in.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: We could look up times.
GUS: We've got plenty of time.
JOEL: I had a whole rant I was going to go on on the reserve seating also.
GUS: Uh-huh.
JOEL: Because it's like- amongst the group of people in the office, it doesn't work if everyone does reserved seating
separately because it defeats the point.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: Because you're trying to sit together-
BARB: Yes.
JOEL: - but we're so disorganized it's just like, "Well we'll just buy- we're going to go- we know we're going to go see a movie
on this day on this time but then that's about it.
BARB: Well you know what happened with that, right?
JOEL: It's like I wound up have a conversation with some dude over seats, which is not what you want to do.
BARB: I was going to tell you which seat to reserve and then you booked your ticket without consulting me first.
GUS: Oh! Did you see- did you see how she turned that around?
JACK: That's true.
BARB: Listen, listen.
JOEL: You do not return text messages. You are the worst-
BARB: I was driving!
JOEL: No, no.
GUS: It's America.
JACK: You call. If you're driving, you'd call.
BARB: Well I- we were on the way to the movie when-
JOEL: I was trying to get- I was trying to get Barbara to call-
BEN: Hang on, hang on. If you're driving, you'd call them?
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: You- you'd- you'd call someone on the phone while you're driving?
JACK: Yeah.
JOEL: Well if it were you-
BEN: That's awful! You can't do that!
BARB: That's so dangerous.
JACK: Yeah, you can.
BEN: It's illegal in England.
GUS: Well-
BEN: It's a distraction!
GUS: Guns are illegal in England too and-
BEN: Yeah because they kill people!
GUS: All right, that's it. You're out.
BARB: Anyways, as I was saying-
JACK: And Ben's gone.
BARB: - Michael, Lindsey, myself and Gavin bought tickets to Prometheus. We had reserved seats all together and Joel was
like, "Oh, you're going to see Prometheus?" I was like, "Yeah." He's like, "I want to come." I was like, "Okay. We have
reserved seating." And then he was like, "Did you buy your ticket already?" I was like, "Yes, we have reserved seating." And
then he was like, "Okay. I bought my ticket." It's like... are you not going to ask us where we're sitting or what seats we're
in?
JOEL: I don't think it went down like that. I think she's making up stuff.
JACK: Even if you told Joel where you were sitting, he would buy a ticket away from you. He'd be like, "I'm going to buy one
over here."
GUS: Why don't you tell your version Joel?
JOEL: I can't really remember.
GUS: Oh. So that's the version on record.
JOEL: I'm pretty sure she's making up stuff.
BEN: Could you not just turn up though and then just book them there? Do you have to book them in advance?
BARB: No.
JACK: The- well they're probably going to sell out.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: Like they only do reserve seating- I think they stop doing reserve seating after a certain amount of time.
BARB: You have a couple choices. You could show up and buy your ticket there. You could buy a ticket in advance that's
not reserve seating or a reserved seat. So you have three options.
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JOEL: And like the reserved seats are like the second to last row in the theatre. So they're not the greatest seats.
JACK: They're not the greatest seats.
BARB: It's 3D, uh, it was a 3D movie so sitting a little further back is a little easier on the eyes.
JOEL: Am I the only person here who loves 3D?
BEN: I love 3D!
JACK: I hate 3D.
GUS: Well look at the company you're in. Congratulations, Joel. You're an idiot over there. Let's go to Vietnam and watch a
movie.
JACK: But it won't be in England.
BARB: I find it doesn't add anything. Like the amount of money extra that it is, I find that it's not worth it.
BEN: Yeah, but that'll come down. I think like generally it's way more immersive for me.
BARB: I just don't see it-
JACK: Okay. What about this? What if- what if you could just buy glasses and just keep them? And then you don't have to
pay extra for a 3D movie.
BEN: I don't care about paying extra for a 3D movie.
JACK: I do!
BEN: It doesn't even cross my mind.
JOEL: They keep changing formats, right?
GUS: I've got realD 3D clip-ons-
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: - that fit on my glasses that someone sent me. I don't remember who it was but thank you so much.
JOEL: It doesn't always-
JACK: Yeah, I need some of those.
JOEL: Like you had those 3D glasses that you got from Butt-Numb-A-Thon or whatever-
JACK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JOEL: And like we went to the Avatar or whatever and like they didn't work.
GUS: There's a couple different standards. Like the IMAX has its own version and I think the other one left is realD at this
point.
BEN: Yeah.
GUS: I know there was another one-
JOEL: And then there's Betamax by Sony, which is better but for some reason didn't catch on.
GUS: It's more expensive.
BEN: Everytime I- you can keep your glasses but no one bothers to because it's just a pain in the ass. I'm not- you know,
I'm not that bothered by it-
JOEL: He had a pair of sunglasses- he had a pair of 3D glasses that were awesome.
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: Yeah, yeah.
JOEL: They were like sunglasses. They were-
JACK: Yeah, they were nice.
BEN: But I'm saying it wouldn't necesarily match the format of the-
JACK: But I'm saying that the whole idea of the 3D cinema is that they charge you more because you have to pay to get the-
to rent the glasses essentially.
GUS: Yeah, right.
JACK: So it's like, what if you bring your own? Don't charge me another 4 dollars.
JOEL: What- what happens-
BEN: But then you don't, right? Now that you've paid for the glasses? If you have your own, it's not more is it?
JACK: Yeah, it is. The cost of the ticket is the same whether or not you have glasses.
JOEL: No, they're not gonna- yeah- they're not gonna-
GUS: They're not going to discount that.
JOEL: No. But what happens to those glasses?
JACK: They send them off and like clean them or something.
GUS: Yeah, right.
JOEL: They send them off and clean them…
BARB: Suspicious.
JACK: Well that's what they say.
JOEL: This is- you get them and they're in the little bag or whatever and it's just like, come on. What's going on here?
GUS: Look at it this way. You get on an airplane and they give you that fucking disease blanket. It's like that.
JOEL: All right. Listen, I have enough things in my life-
BARB: That thing always stinks.
JOEL: Goddamn, you guys.
GUS: They just rewrapped that in a plastic bag and gave that to you.
JOEL: Once you start going down the road of like, "Ew. There are germs on this." It's everywhere. And it's like, there's a fine
line, I felt fine about airplane- airplane blankets-
BARB: And yet we're all surviving perfectly well. It's fine. You're allowed to have germs in your life. They're not going to kill
you.
JOEL: I mean we're not even talking about the earplugs.
GUS: What's even scarier is the fucking pillows. People could be drooling on that shit and it's like up by your head and
you're leaning on it, putting your face on it. That's way worse to me.
BARB: Just bring your own.
JOEL: You don't think they wash them?
GUS: No, they don't. I know they don't.
JOEL: Of course they don't. Because the airlines have no fucking money.
GUS: Between every flight, you think they're like, "Okay. Time to take the dirty blankets off and put the clean ones on!"
Nope.
BEN: This is why- this is why we don't think about this stuff because it's just nicer being nieve to it all.
JACK: Do you know what the most disgusting part of a hotel room is?
JOEL: What is the most disgusting part of a hotel?
GUS: I could take a guess. I could take a good guess.
BEN: The sheets?
BARB: The glasses?
JACK: Gus will probably get it.
GUS: It's probably the remote.
JACK: It's the TV remote. The TV remote is the most germ-infested thing in a hotel room.
BARB: It's a good thing I never use it.
JOEL: But it's a piece of plastic that sits without anyone touching it so-
BARB: But no one-
JOEL: I mean, germs are not gonna live that long.
BARB: They never wash it though.
JACK: Yeah, but you don't clean it.
GUS: Tell that to your keyboard. Keyboards are apparently more germ-infested than toilets.
BEN: That makes sense.
BARB: Apparently the toilet is one of the cleanest surfaces in your house.
GUS: Keyboards are fucking filthy.
BEN: Think about how much food you eat and then you like type and type-
JOEL: I mean, I'm going to have to like get myself like a Hazmat suit for the rest of my fucking life.
JACK: We're going to blow Joel's mind now.
BARB: It's okay. You've survived this long and you're fine.
JACK: No, it's not okay.
GUS: Okay, let's uh, let's get out of here. See if we can find a Prometheus showing.
BARB: All right.
JACK: Check Bing.com.
GUS: Eat some food.
BARB: Buy your RTX tickets!
JACK: RTX.com!
BARB: Halo 4!
GUS: All right, well-
BEN: Become a sponsor!
GUS: Thanks for listening, everyone.
BARB: Thank you.
BEN: Goodbye.
BARB: What the fuck.
JACK: Wh-what? I’m like… and the Gav’s- a-and then I think like Michael or something was like, “Oh I think we have a new animator starting today.” And I’m like, “Is that the guy?” and Gav’s like, “I don’t know, I didn’t talk to him.”
BARB: Gavin is so oblivious.
GUS: Oh God.
JACK: I was like,” Hey man, what’s your name?” he was like, “Oh uhm I’m here, y’know, I’m starting my first day of work.” I was like, okay, hang on, let me go get Kathleen. And so I took the enormous effort of going upstairs. And the guy- I mean the guy literally sat there for twenty minutes!
BEN: So this how we greet employees, they sit alone for like 4 hours.
JACK: Yeah, brand new employee- well he sat there for literally twenty minutes, and he would’ve kep-kept sitting there if I hadn’t done something for him.
BARB: Awww.
GUS: That’s fuckin’ funny.
BEN: No.
JACK: I was like, “Gavin you fucker!” He was like I dunno, I don’t care-
JOEL: So have you ever seen F- Fight Club, Where you have to like, stand at a doorstep for two days?
BARB: Yes.
JOEL: You have to really really want to animate.
JACK: Yeah.
JOEL: That’s how it works.
BARB: Mmhmm.
JOEL: D-don’t stand at our doorstep for two days.
JACK: No, no.
BEN: I was like should’ve had a USB thumb drive because he could’ve been stealing all our stuff.
JACK: We-we should also- Should we mention now, I-I don’t know if you wanna come to this now but should we mention we are now closing our office the week before and after RTX?
BARB: Before and after.
BEN: It’s already closed, isn’t it?
BARB: No tours.
JACK: No tours at all, no fans or anything like that. Sorry, we’re just crazy busy prepping for and recovering from it.
BARB: We also are gonna have thousands of people in town who know about Rooster Teeth, and we cannot accommodate.
GUS: So w-we-we-we would love to meet everyone and we will meet everyone… a-at-
BARB: At the event.
JACK: At RTX.
GUS: - at the Convention Centre, at RTX.
JACK: Please.
GUS: We will all be over there-
BEN: And also we won’t be at work. We’ll be at RTX.
GUS: Right, exactly, so…
BARB: And speaking of RTX…
GUS: What?
BARB: Ticket sales end this week, online. June 22nd is the last day you can buy your ticket online.
GUS: Friday. What time? Have we set a time?
BARB: Uhmm, probably midnight I guess?
GUS: Do you want to go that late?
BARB: … I don’t know.
BEN: Quick, make the decision now.
GUS: ‘Cause I-I-I-I think I’ve ch- I think I’d turn it off manually. Can you turn it off automatically?
BARB: I don’t know.
GUS: If it’s manual then right at the end-
BEN: Are we talking ‘bout- Are we talking about the deadline? Yeah, we can.
GUS: Okay. So yeah.
BEN: So yeah, we just made the decision.
BARB: We’ll make announcements on uh…
JOEL: I went to uh-
BARB: …our site.
BEN: Pay there for, pay there for, buy your tickets at-
GUS: Shut up, shut up.
JOEL: no, that’s not the word. I went to Chipotle, yesterday, and the guy was having a hard time wrapping my burrito, and while he’s wrapping my burrito, he goes, “Uh, by the way, has Gus worked out my ticket situation yet, for RTX?”
GUS: Are you serious?
JOEL: I am absolutely positively serious. The Chipotle on Stassney, the guy was wrapping my burrito, and he looks up and he goes… he’s wrapping my burrito up and he goes, “So has Gus- so… I dunno if...”
GUS: Wow.
JOEL: He goes, "So I dunno if-"
BARB: Did you get his name?
BEN: That's a bit awkward conversation.
JOEL: I was like, "I don't know. That's Gus's department."
GUS: Was it the one over here or the one over there?
JOEL: Stassney.
BARB: It's on Stassney.
GUS: Oh. I'll have to go over there. Be like, "What's up, fucker?" Gimme a burrito.
JACK: It's funny, like people are coming out of the wood works now, like - so my brother-in-law is uh, he works at the city of
Round Rock up in North Austin and his boss- like his bosses kids were in the office one day and they knew he kind of liked
video game stuff so they kind of came up to him and they said, "Hey, do you know about this this called RTX that's going to
happen next month?" And he said, "As a matter of fact, I do. My brother-in-law happens to work for Rooster Teeth. So these
kids started freaking out, so...
BARB: That's so cool.
GUS: That's funny.
JACK: Anyway, it's pretty cool.
GUS: The other day, uh, this weekend on Saturday, I was down at Coopers in New Braunfels.
JACK: Nice.
GUS: And, uh, I was like- I finished up my barbecue and was there with family. I was throwing my stuff away and was getting
ready to walk out and this little kid like kind of walks out from behind me and was like, "Excuse me." And I turned around
and it was like this little ten-year old kid like in a baseball uniform. I was like, "Yeah?" He goes, "Are you- is your name Gus? Are you from Rooster Teeth?" And I was like, "Oh, my God." I instantly felt bad for every bad word I've ever said.
JACK: I know.
BEN: This is your life.
BARB: ”You should not be watching our stuff."
GUS: And I was like, "Yes." And he was like, "Oh! I'm a big fan!"
BEN: You're a childhood idol.
GUS: I was like, "Oh, it's good to meet you. Uh, don't watch our stuff."
BEN: Yeah, you're the worst childhood idol possible.
JOEL: We've got to figure out a way to clamp down on that stuff. How are we going to do that?
BEN: Fire Gus.
GUS: I felt so guilty and then he walked back to his table by his family and his father was like, "Oh, was that him?" And he was like, "Yeah." I was like, "Oh, my God. Get out of here."
BARB: It's like the kid at New York Comic-Con-
JOEL: "Was that the guy who taught you the F-word?"
GUS: "Was that the one?"
BARB: It's like that kid we met at New York Comic-Con. He was like a French kid and his dad was like-
GUS: Oh, yeah.
BARB: - talking about Rage Quit. He was like, "Yes! Yes! Yell at him! Yes!"
JACK: So, uh, my girlfriend listened to last week's podcast-
GUS: Uh-huh.
JACK: And she was like, "You have a filthy mouth!" And I was like, "I really don't but every- when I get mad I, you know, curse at people." And like, you start thinking about that stuff, like, yeah. My parents are coming to RTX and I'm like nervous about like what's going to happen at RT- like something is going to happen-
BEN: Anything can happen.
BARB: Well, of course something is going to happen at RTX.
JOEL: That's- that's- that's like embarrassing.
JACK: Yeah. It's like, "Goddamit."
BARB: Everything will happen.
BEN: Everything will, yes.
JACK: Hopefully our fans will be respectful and will not be raging douches but I have a feeling that there will be one or two raging douches out in the crowd.
BEN: A few shoes flying around. Don't- don't throw shoes.
JOEL: Just- just- just eat their face.
JACK: Oh, no. I'll say, if you throw a shoe at me, I'm keeping it. That's it. I will destroy it and keep it.
BEN: Burn it in front of their face!
BARB: I honestly don't think you have to worry because I've been to so many events with the Rooster Teeth community that like- they're the most respectful group of people. Like everyone's like representing Rooster Teeth and really-
JACK: You hear that, Rooster Teeth audience?
BARB: No, I mean it's-
JACK: You are respectful.
BARB: Even at the last RTX, I think the security people were like, "Man, like for such a large group of people, you guys are really respectful and like kind to each other and everyone's friends and it's awesome."
JOEL: Unless you're on a DayZ server.
JACK: There's no water balloons this year so we don't have to worry about that.
GUS: Yeah, don't have to worry about that. That'll be good.
BARB: So yes, please be respectful of everyone and everything.
GUS: I can't believe it's so soon.
JACK: Dude, that's like three-
BEN: Just think about when it's over.
JACK: Three weeks? Two weeks?
GUS: Two weeks. Two and a half.
JACK: Ah, Jesus Christ.
BEN: I can see gray roots coming up.
GUS: Oh, my God. I've aged like five years in the last six months.
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: Your life expectancy's gone down.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: So it's in two weeks? Two and a half weeks?
GUS: Two weeks from this weekend.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: Two weeks from this weekend. So-
BEN: Man.
JOEL: Almost three weeks from now.
JACK: But not only that like- I know Barbara and I- so we're- like we have RTX that weekend and then the next Wednesday we leave to go-
BARB: On Tuesday. We leave on Tuesday.
JACK: We leave on Tues-? Oh, shit.
BARB: Probably.
GUS: Because you gotta set up on Wednesday.
BARB: We've gotta set up on Wednesday.
JACK: Oh, God. So then we go to Comic-Con. So it's like working RTX non-stop-
BARB: That's like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
JACK: Yeah and then go to- and then go to Comic-Con.
JOEL: Who's all going to Comic-Con? Do we know yet?
GUS: I don't know off the top of my head.
BARB: Well me and Jack are definitely going.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: I'm going. I'm actually bringing my girlfriend too so it's going to be interesting.
GUS: I think Monty is going as well.
JACK: Monty's going. Kathleen's going. Shannon's going. Jim Brown's going.
JOEL: Oh, jeez. You've got an army of people.
JACK: There's like six or seven or eight of us. I don't know.
GUS: Eight, I think.
JOEL: Wow.
JACK: Yeah. That's a lot of us.
GUS: It's a lot of people.
BEN: Golly gosh.
GUS: Hey did you get the email I sent you last night about Burkes?
BARB: Yes.
GUS: So I looked up, uh, you know the 'Erma Gurd' girl?
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: 'Fedurp durps!'
JACK: The 'Gooseburbs.'
GUS: I guess there's an entry for her on Know Your Meme and someone posted like the actual, like a regular picture of her.
BARB: Yeah. She's a hot girl.
JACK: She's hot, right?
GUS: Yeah, she's- she's not- I was always afraid about that meme that there was something wrong with her and I was
laughing at someone. But no, she's totally normal. She's hot so I'm going to continue to laugh at that meme.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: The picture I saw said, "Erma gurd. I'm hot."
BARB: "Erma gurd! Burks!"
JACK: Well that's like the uh, "I can count to potato" girl. You've heard about that, right?
GUS: Yeah, I mean that's what I was thinking of.
JACK: Yeah. Did you hear about that one, Barbara?
BARB: I did not.
JACK: So there's- there's a meme where it's a girl- a special challenged girl and it says, "I can count to potato." And so-
BARB: We shouldn't be laughing.
JACK: No, no. But it's been on the internet for like a long time. It's one of the like original memes. It's been around for a
while.
BARB: Okay.
JACK: So I guess finally someone pointed it out to her parents and so now her parents came out and made this huge deal
about it-
BARB: Oh no!
JACK: - and like drug her out of there like, "Yeah, we showed her all these things and she's so mad." And it's like, "Well,
why'd you show her?!" Like, "Why would you do that?"
BARB: Yeah, shelter your kid from that, man.
JACK: And so now there's an updated photo of like her and her mom and it's like, "Well, that's the new meme." And so, now
it's, you know-
BARB: Jeez.
JACK: Yeah. Just making it worse. Like why would you do that?
BARB: There's some memes out there that I really enjoy. Like I love Benevolent Bro Burnie. I love that meme.
GUS: But he's Totally Scumbag Burnie. I've been meaning to make a- to talk about it.
BEN: Oh, you were saying about that, yeah.
GUS: He fucking left the other side of the world for like three weeks and he left his truck parked in the best parking spot in
the office.
JACK: Yeah!
BARB: I actually- I could move it for you.
JACK: Move it.
GUS: Move it. Move it. It's like right in front of the door. He's not even in the same hemisphere. He's two time zones removed.
BARB: In Burnie's defense, he did feel bad about that. I was driving him and Gavin to the airport and we were leaving the
parking lot and he's like-
GUS: So he felt bad?
JACK: Oh!
GUS: Oh! Okay.
JOEL: In his defense-
BARB: He told me I could move it.
GUS: That totally fixes it.
JOEL: In his defense, he didn't feel bad. I mean, just in case you're wondering about that-
JACK: Can we just go park it behind the warehouse next door. Just go park it in the field, can we do that? Just go park it in
the old Immersion field.
BARB: I'll find a place.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: So. We should move that damn truck. Because it's huge too. It's like the biggest friggin-
BARB: It's funny seeing his car next to Matt's car because Matt's car is so like-
BEN: It's a compact car. It's really dinky.
BARB: It's the complete opposite of cars next to each other.
BEN: Yeah.
BARB: It's always really funny to see them and compare.
BEN: Its modernist.
BARB: It is.
JACK: So anyway. You should move that truck.
BARB: Okay.
GUS: Yes. "Move that truck!"
BARB: "Move that truck!"
JOEL: Where can we move it to?
JACK: Huh?
JOEL: Where can we move it to?
JACK: The Immersion field.
BARB: I'll just move it to the back of the parking lot.
GUS: Let's light it on fire and see how far we can drive it down the road before it turns off.
JACK: Or we could put it in the abandoned oil place next door to use that's been there for three years now.
JOEL: We could park it in the uh, Starbucks parking lot taking up four spaces.
BARB: Yes. It's true.
GUS: And then whenever someone gets in it, someone will jump out from behind the bushes and eat his face.
BEN: Amazing. It all comes full circle.
BARB: It's all coming together.
JACK: Can you put cream cheese on it as well?
GUS: It's a throwback.
JACK: Like, "Would you like this toasted?"
GUS: Man...
BARB: Gross.
GUS: I've been on a big bagel and cream cheese kick lately.
JACK: That's just so good. Like that's my airport food. I always get bagel and cream cheese when I'm at airports.
BARB: Have you ever had Einstein's Bagels?
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JACK: Mmm-hm.
BARB: I did not know about those until I moved here because I think it's an American thing.
GUS: Mmm-hm.
BARB: But man those are good bagels.
JACK: Did you get their clotchy? Like they have the big sausage clotchy. They're so good.
BARB: I have not. They have good breakfast stuff though.
GUS: They have weird hours. They're open like six a.m. to two p.m. or something like that.
BARB: Yeah, well I guess it's like lunch and breakfast so they really don't want to be open late.
JOEL: Hey did you see that announcement from Microsoft? Like was it last night or-
BEN: Yeah.
JOEL: For the new-
JACK: Surface?
BEN: Surface.
JOEL: Yeah.
BEN: Yeah.
JOEL: Um, I didn't- I only saw that there was a Surface but I didn't- I don't know. Someone just-
GUS: It's like uh, it's a tablet. Or there's two different versions of it. One of which- both of which were in Windows 8. One of
which is on the ARM processor and the other uses an X86 processor.
JOEL: How big is it?
GUS: I want to say- off the top of my head, 10.2 inches. Maybe 10.4.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: And the coolest part about it, I- you know, I can't judge it until I see it.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: You know, I thought the iPad was stupid until I held one for the first time.
JOEL: Well, people thought that about the iPod too, right?
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: Well, the coolest thing about the surface was that the cover- when you opened it, you could use it as a keyboard. Like
there was a keyboard in there.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Which I thought was a-
JACK: Yeah, it like folds out and there's a stand too.
GUS: Yeah, but the weird thing is- like I don't know. Is it trying to be a tablet or is it trying to be a laptop?
JACK: I think that's what they're trying to say. It's sort of a little of both. Like its-
BARB: The best of both worlds.
JACK: - you know, more powerful than a tablet but it's not- it's not a laptop.
GUS: Yeah. But the problem is that it makes me think of the old tablet PC's, which kind of tried to do the same thing years
ago. But it failed at doing either.
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: Isn't it also supposed to be really light?
GUS: They did say it's like 2.2 pounds.
JOEL: This is the picture I saw of it.
JACK: No, no. That's Surface. That's the old Microsoft Surface.
BARB: Oh, yeah.
JOEL: Oh.
GUS: Yeah, look- go back. I'll show you.
JACK: That's the one you see at like casinos and hotels and things like that. This one looks like an actual tablet.
BARB: It looks pretty good. But I mean, at this point, I don't know if anybody really buys into any other tablet other than the
iPad.
JACK: Well, I don't know.
JOEL: You know, you never know. I mean, you know, I didn't even know tablets were like- HP started tablets.
BARB: The good thing about Apple products like that is that you pick it up and you instantly know how to use it. With all
these other devices, it's like you have to kind of work your way around it to figure out how to do things.
JOEL: Yeah, it's weird. It's got a keyboard.
GUS: Yeah, I'm not crazy about the Windows 8 interface either.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: I haven't used it yet again. It's like one of those things I'd see pictures of and I'm like, "I don't know how that would
work." But maybe when I pick it up, it's like, "Oh, this makes sense."
JOEL: I'm hearing, you know somewhat positive things about it actually.
GUS: Yeah, I've seen a lot of people talking about it.
JOEL: I'm curious about it. I want to definitely check it out.
GUS: Do you know when it's coming out or anything?
JOEL: I don't know when it's-
JACK: I read a pretty interesting article the other day about when they launched the iPhone, Steve Jobs said it was five years
ahead of its time. And it has been five years and the iPhone really hasn't changed that much.
GUS: I read that article as well and that article was actually way off base I thought.
JACK: You think so?
GUS: Because if you think- people forget that when the iPhone launched, it was not the same iPhone that you use now. The
iPhone that launched did not have an App store. It was very restricted. Um, you know, it used an older network. There's a lot
of things that have evolved. It's been an evolution. It looks the same-
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: And it has the same overall interface and iOS. It wasn't even called iOS.
JACK: Yeah. That's true.
GUS: I mean, there are so many changes that have gone on that no one remembers that first iPhone sucked. I hated the- I
thought the first iPhone was cool for the touch screen but I didn't buy one. I didn't get it.
JACK: Really?
GUS: And then it wasn't until the App store came out and there was more functionality that I finally jumped on board.
JACK: That's true. That's true.
BARB: 'Sup Joel?
JOEL: Um, basically I need a vehicle to play DayZ on.
JACK: Day Zed.
GUS: You cannot do it on the Surface, I don't think.
JOEL: You can't?
GUS: I don't think.
JOEL: Why not?
GUS: I don't think it would be powerful enough.
JACK: So do we have any friends at Alienware or Dell or- someone that wants to send us some PC's?
GUS: Someone that would like to sponsor the podcast?
JACK: Hey!
JOEL: The thing is thought is that I don't think I could get a tower anymore. I'd have to get a laptop.
GUS: Use your laptop. Use Bootcamp. I play DayZ on my laptop.
JOEL: Oh, you do? You Bootcamp?
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: And it works okay?
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: It works- hmm. I don't even know if I have Bootcamp on here still.
GUS: I play, uh, what else do I play?
JOEL: I think I-
GUS: I play some other stuff. I play a lot of Steam stuff on my Windows side.
JOEL: Do you have a problem backing up stuff to your Time Machine with Bootcamp on your laptop?
GUS: Mmm-mm. No problem.
JACK: I can see the wheels turning in Joel's head.
JOEL: I mean, I had Bootcamp on here. I don't know if I still have it anymore. We might have taken it off. How do I check? Do
I have to reboot?
GUS: Reboot and hold down option.
BARB: Rebootcamp!
JACK: Or you can check- can't you just see if there's another hard drive?
GUS: Well I can see there is but it may not have anything on it.
JACK: Oh, okay.
JOEL: Yeah.
BARB: Have you ever seen- going back to the phones- have you seen that picture of when they compare phones from the
early 2000's to now and it's like now they're all square with a touch screen. They're all black. And before they were all like flip
phones-
GUS: Yeah.
BARB: - and like really colorful and shiny and everything. It's funny to see how that evolved.
GUS: Yeah, they look totally different.
BARB: Yeah.
GUS: I remember when-
JOEL: I do have it.
GUS: - back in the day, God, when mobile phones first came out, my dad got one and like you had to mount it to your car.
BARB: Yeah.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Like it was like physically bolted to the car and had like-
JACK: Oh, Jesus. Really?
GUS: - antennas in the back and-
BARB: My dad's car still has that. It doesn't work but it's still in there. And whenever someone gets in there, it's like, "What
the fuck?"
GUS: Yeah, that network doesn't even exist anymore in the United States.
JACK: Wow.
GUS: The old analog- super old analog cellular network.
JOEL: Or so you- so how you think.
GUS: No, they turned it off. They reclaimed that spectrum.
JOEL: Oh, did they?
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JOEL: Damn. Reclaiming spectrums. That's not cool.
GUS: Oh, those phone sucked so much. You'd be like, "I'm in the car. And I'm on the phone!"
BARB: I know! Whoa! Excited.
JOEL: Yeah, I don't know what it is about- apparently my dad has the same thing where he has cutting edge technology from
fifteen years ago in his car or whatever. With his laptop of whatever-
GUS: Uh-huh.
JOEL: - with this, that, and the other thing. And it's just like, this is- this is not- this is embarrassing. This is- we have to take
this out.
GUS: You should have him get one of those new cars that has the navigation, like all the internet enabled stuff built into it.
JOEL: And he has- he has that. You know, it's like my parents spend too much money.
JACK: How is Google Maps not developed an in-car system yet? Like built into the dashboard of a car?
GUS: Well I've seen the new Toyota In-Tune system, which is their new navigation actually uses Bing Maps.
JACK: Oh yeah?
GUS: This part- they're not payin gus to say this, by the way. This is a totally free-flowing conversation. Um, it uses Bing
Maps and uses other apps as well. Like I believe you can do- you can stream Pandora over it and it uses the Internet
connectivity from your phone.
JACK: Oh, wow. So it tethers.
GUS: It pairs over Bluetooth and tethers.
JOEL: Oh, that's good.
GUS: It pulls all the data down through your phone.
JOEL: It's funny because of how fast technology moves and how slow cars are to keep up with it.
JACK: But if we could sit down in your car and say, "I want to go here to here. What's the traffic look like?" And then boom.
Traffic. Then it's like, "All right. Don't take that route."
GUS: My big fear is that what if you don't always have that connectivity? Like what if you're in a scary sketchy area and all of
the sudden, your phone doesn't have data and you're fucked. You don't know how to get out.
JACK: Well then you have a CD backup or something.
GUS: Yeah. You'd have to do something like that.
JACK: Or have it where it's constantly downloading and will save it locally once it's downloaded, you know?
GUS: Yeah, my car used to have like a traffic- like it has satellite radio in it and you can pay extra for traffic updates.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: That will lay real time on the map. So I had a free trial when I bought the car.
JOEL: Did it work?
GUS: It worked in quotations. But all the data I felt was like two hours old.
JOEL: That's the problem. I feel like I can never trust it.
GUS: Yeah, so I was like- I don't pay for it because in the trial it was always old data. Yeah, there was traffic there but it's
gone now. Or oh, now there's traffic here that it hasn't detected yet.
JOEL: It may not be there yet or you're just not sure.
JACK: How do you think that stuff is detected anyway? Do they have just certain cars that are marked or something?
GUS: I don't know. I think in the new Maps Application that Google is going to be bundling in iOS 6, that it sources data from
iPhones that have opted in.
JACK: Oh, wow!
GUS: So it detects the speed at which iPhones are moving and where they're moving and knows that there's traffic or not.
JACK: That's crazy.
BARB: That is cool.
GUS: I think- I think Android does it alredy with Google maps but I'm not postive.
JOEL: Welcome to Big Brother.
JACK: That's how Skynet started right?
JOEL: It's like just-
GUS: This is the choke point for the humans. Send all the humans here and then they will stop. Kill! Kill! Kill!
JOEL: It's like, this says to head toward the giant staping machine. We don't know why...
BARB: Have you guys seen Prometheus yet?
GUS: I have not. I want to.
JACK: I have not.
JOEL: You know, I went to Prometheus with you guys.
BARB: Yeah, you did.
JOEL: And we went to the Alamo.
JACK: Yes.
JOEL: And I don't have a good history with Alamo food.
JACK: Uh-huh.
JOEL: And um, there's a certain scene in that movie that is like pretty rough.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: But like, what was happening to the person, where they were having pain was the exact same place I was having
pain. But I was like, my pain that I was having was so acute, I was getting like tunnel vision and like breaking into a cold
sweat.
BARB: I thought- Joel was sitting next to me. I thought he was dying.
JOEL: I couldn't even-
JACK: He probably was dying knowing Joel.
JOEL: I didn't even register that it was my stomach that was hurting-
BARB: He took off his 3D glasses. He was like standing still looking at the ground. I was like, "Oh my God, are you okay?"
JOEL: I thought I was going to die. I thought I-
BARB: And then he like stumbled down the stairs. I was like, "Jesus!"
JOEL: I must have had like some sort of allergic- it felt like an allergic reaction or something. I thought I was going to fucking
die.
BARB: I missed a really crucial part of that movie because I was so concerned. Just so you know.
JOEL: I was sitting there and at the scene, I'm thinking to myself, "Well, I'm dying in the movie theatre so my choices are...
just sit here and die in the movie theatre or I can try and leave-"
BEN: And die on the ground outside.
JOEL: And maybe die in the lobby or whatever.
GUS: Die in a more convenient place.
JOEL: It's like when a dog goes out to the woods by itself because it just wants to die alone.
BEN: Right.
JOEL: It was sort of that feeling. But it was like, right after that scene. At the same time I was dying. And I was dying.
BARB: I could tell.
JOEL: I had two thoughts in my brain. One, I'm dying. And the second thought was, "God damn it, if I stand up and walk out
of the theatre now, it's going to look like I was freaked out by the scene." And it was like, I can't have that so I'm just going to
sit here and die a little bit longer. And sure enough, I'm stumbling down and I'm on my way out. I'm just like, "Oh God. I've
got to sit down somewhere or whatever." I didn't even know what was going on. Sure enough, like one of the movie
employees was like, "Yeah, that scene's pretty rough huh?"
GUS: Was he like, "Pussy!"
JOEL: I was like, "Yeah, that's-"
BARB: That scene was really rough. I was squirming a little. I had to cover my eyes.
BEN: I was squirming. But I wasn't dying.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: And so everyone here has seen it?
BARB: No.
BEN: I have.
GUS: I have not.
JACK: Gus and I have not.
BARB: They have not.
GUS: I really want to. I just I can't see a movie the first couple weeks it's out because I can't deal with the crowds.
JOEL: Yeah, I'm the same way.
JACK: Reserved seating at the Alamo Drafthouse. Probably the best thing ever.
GUS: Yeah, but it's still crowded!
JACK: Well yeah but-
GUS: See, my problem is not the lack of seating. My problem is the fucking crowd.
BARB: I like going to a movie with a full audience.
JOEL: And the chairs need to be bigger. If the chairs were bigger, it wouldn't be a problem.
GUS: No, I want one giant chair that's just for me.
JOEL: I mostly agree with you. Sometimes it's nice to have an audience. Like for comedies-
BARB: For comedies?
JOEL: - or whatever, yeah.
GUS: No, because then I get mad sometimes like, "They laughed at that? That's stupid!" Or then I'll laugh at something and
no one else laughs, I'm like, "Oh, come on! Really?"
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: You have to think that when I went to it, I hadn't seen like Alien or anything like that but the people I went to with had.
So like every few minutes of the movie, they're like snickering, like so obviously that's a reference to something I don't get.
That was the worst. If you haven't seen Alien, you should see it with people who haven't seen Alien. Because it ruins the
experience if you see it with people that have.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: That's the thing. It's been so long now. I wonder what's the percentage of the audience that has seen Alien?
BARB: What year did Alien come out?
BEN: I mean, I wasn't alive when it came out.
JOEL: '78?
GUS: I think it was '77.
JOEL: '77. '78. A long time ago.
BARB: Are you serious?
BEN: We weren't alive, so...
JACK: So Alien and Star Wars came out the same year?
GUS: I think so.
JOEL: Yeah.
JACK: That's cool.
JOEL: Crazy, right?
GUS: I've got to look that up now.
JOEL: It's '77 or '78. It's right around there.
BARB: Sigourney Weaver doesn't look that young though. She looks like she's- well, how old is Sigourney Weaver?
JACK: She's old.
JOEL: She's up there.
BEN: She would have been like 30 at the movie time?
JACK: She's probably in her sixties at this point.
BARB: Really?
JOEL: I think so, yeah.
JACK: Yeah.
BARB: She looks great.
GUS: Alien was '79. Joel was more correct than me.
BEN: I can see her as sixty. I think that looks about right.
BARB: Okay. I guess that makes sense.
GUS: She is- she's turning 63 this year.
BARB: Wow.
JACK: Wow.
GUS: She's currently 62.
BARB: You know what baffles my mind?
JACK: What, Barbara?
BEN: Tell us!
GUS: Magnets?
BARB: William Shatner. How old do you think William Shatner is?
GUS: Oh, I know how old he is.
BEN: Ninety?
JACK: He's like in his late eighties or something.
BARB: Late eighties.
BEN: Wow.
BARB: Like can you- that blows my fucking mind!
JOEL: It's just like Dick Clark where it's like, "You look great!" THUD. He just falls over dead.
GUS: Well Dick Clark had had a stroke a few years ago. He didn't look so great after that.
BARB: But like William Shatner-
BEN: They have their own like Hollywood magic to make them look young and stripey.
BARB: He could- he could be in his late fifties. That guy.
JOEL: Yeah, from a lot of the videos I've seen.
BARB: And he's late eighties! He's almost 90 years old!
GUS: He's eighty-one.
BARB: Oh.
JACK: Oh.
BARB: Okay. Whatever. Early eighties!
BEN: He's in his eighties!
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: No, I mean you look at the- the commercials- the Priceline commercials, he doesn't look eighty.
JACK: No. Not at all.
BARB: Not at all.
JACK: My grandmother is in her eighties and she does not look that good.
GUS: He's like what, Betty White's age? Or is she ninety?
BARB: She's ninety, I think. Or at least close to ninety.
JOEL: He's had surgery. He's must have had some surgery.
BARB: Yeah, he's had to have something.
GUS: She's ninety.
JACK: Well when you're in space, you don't age as quick so-
JOEL: That explains it for both of them.
GUS: You're not fighting gravity.
JOEL: Couldn't hear either of them scream. But they both look great.
JACK: Yeah, there you go.
BARB: Screaming ages you.
JOEL: Wow. I'm really bummed that you guys haven't seen it because I'd really love to talk about that movie.
BARB: I know. I have mixed emotions about that movie. At first, I was not very impressed. But the more I think about it, the
more I want to see it again and like analyze it a little bit more.
BEN: I think I'm the reverse of that actually.
JOEL: I would like to see it again because I missed like plot point three through plot point four.
BARB: As did I. When you were sick and I was-
GUS: The chunk? You missed the scary part?
JOEL: Well I've mi-
GUS: Hey, hey. I've got an idea. Let's play hookey. After the podcast, let's just go to the theatre over here and we'll watch it.
BARB: Let's do it.
GUS: I'll bet there's no crowd.
JACK: Prolly not.
BARB: That's true.
JOEL: I'm not- I'm not going to fight you.
BEN: Ah! He's got that nine-year old face again. He's really devious!
BARB: I know! So excited!
JOEL: We have a thing- we have a meeting. We can fit it in.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: We could look up times.
GUS: We've got plenty of time.
JOEL: I had a whole rant I was going to go on on the reserve seating also.
GUS: Uh-huh.
JOEL: Because it's like- amongst the group of people in the office, it doesn't work if everyone does reserved seating
separately because it defeats the point.
BARB: Yeah.
JOEL: Because you're trying to sit together-
BARB: Yes.
JOEL: - but we're so disorganized it's just like, "Well we'll just buy- we're going to go- we know we're going to go see a movie
on this day on this time but then that's about it.
BARB: Well you know what happened with that, right?
JOEL: It's like I wound up have a conversation with some dude over seats, which is not what you want to do.
BARB: I was going to tell you which seat to reserve and then you booked your ticket without consulting me first.
GUS: Oh! Did you see- did you see how she turned that around?
JACK: That's true.
BARB: Listen, listen.
JOEL: You do not return text messages. You are the worst-
BARB: I was driving!
JOEL: No, no.
GUS: It's America.
JACK: You call. If you're driving, you'd call.
BARB: Well I- we were on the way to the movie when-
JOEL: I was trying to get- I was trying to get Barbara to call-
BEN: Hang on, hang on. If you're driving, you'd call them?
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: You- you'd- you'd call someone on the phone while you're driving?
JACK: Yeah.
JOEL: Well if it were you-
BEN: That's awful! You can't do that!
BARB: That's so dangerous.
JACK: Yeah, you can.
BEN: It's illegal in England.
GUS: Well-
BEN: It's a distraction!
GUS: Guns are illegal in England too and-
BEN: Yeah because they kill people!
GUS: All right, that's it. You're out.
BARB: Anyways, as I was saying-
JACK: And Ben's gone.
BARB: - Michael, Lindsey, myself and Gavin bought tickets to Prometheus. We had reserved seats all together and Joel was
like, "Oh, you're going to see Prometheus?" I was like, "Yeah." He's like, "I want to come." I was like, "Okay. We have
reserved seating." And then he was like, "Did you buy your ticket already?" I was like, "Yes, we have reserved seating." And
then he was like, "Okay. I bought my ticket." It's like... are you not going to ask us where we're sitting or what seats we're
in?
JOEL: I don't think it went down like that. I think she's making up stuff.
JACK: Even if you told Joel where you were sitting, he would buy a ticket away from you. He'd be like, "I'm going to buy one
over here."
GUS: Why don't you tell your version Joel?
JOEL: I can't really remember.
GUS: Oh. So that's the version on record.
JOEL: I'm pretty sure she's making up stuff.
BEN: Could you not just turn up though and then just book them there? Do you have to book them in advance?
BARB: No.
JACK: The- well they're probably going to sell out.
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: Like they only do reserve seating- I think they stop doing reserve seating after a certain amount of time.
BARB: You have a couple choices. You could show up and buy your ticket there. You could buy a ticket in advance that's
not reserve seating or a reserved seat. So you have three options.
GUS: Mmm-hm.
JOEL: And like the reserved seats are like the second to last row in the theatre. So they're not the greatest seats.
JACK: They're not the greatest seats.
BARB: It's 3D, uh, it was a 3D movie so sitting a little further back is a little easier on the eyes.
JOEL: Am I the only person here who loves 3D?
BEN: I love 3D!
JACK: I hate 3D.
GUS: Well look at the company you're in. Congratulations, Joel. You're an idiot over there. Let's go to Vietnam and watch a
movie.
JACK: But it won't be in England.
BARB: I find it doesn't add anything. Like the amount of money extra that it is, I find that it's not worth it.
BEN: Yeah, but that'll come down. I think like generally it's way more immersive for me.
BARB: I just don't see it-
JACK: Okay. What about this? What if- what if you could just buy glasses and just keep them? And then you don't have to
pay extra for a 3D movie.
BEN: I don't care about paying extra for a 3D movie.
JACK: I do!
BEN: It doesn't even cross my mind.
JOEL: They keep changing formats, right?
GUS: I've got realD 3D clip-ons-
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: - that fit on my glasses that someone sent me. I don't remember who it was but thank you so much.
JOEL: It doesn't always-
JACK: Yeah, I need some of those.
JOEL: Like you had those 3D glasses that you got from Butt-Numb-A-Thon or whatever-
JACK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JOEL: And like we went to the Avatar or whatever and like they didn't work.
GUS: There's a couple different standards. Like the IMAX has its own version and I think the other one left is realD at this
point.
BEN: Yeah.
GUS: I know there was another one-
JOEL: And then there's Betamax by Sony, which is better but for some reason didn't catch on.
GUS: It's more expensive.
BEN: Everytime I- you can keep your glasses but no one bothers to because it's just a pain in the ass. I'm not- you know,
I'm not that bothered by it-
JOEL: He had a pair of sunglasses- he had a pair of 3D glasses that were awesome.
JACK: Yeah.
BEN: Yeah, yeah.
JOEL: They were like sunglasses. They were-
JACK: Yeah, they were nice.
BEN: But I'm saying it wouldn't necesarily match the format of the-
JACK: But I'm saying that the whole idea of the 3D cinema is that they charge you more because you have to pay to get the-
to rent the glasses essentially.
GUS: Yeah, right.
JACK: So it's like, what if you bring your own? Don't charge me another 4 dollars.
JOEL: What- what happens-
BEN: But then you don't, right? Now that you've paid for the glasses? If you have your own, it's not more is it?
JACK: Yeah, it is. The cost of the ticket is the same whether or not you have glasses.
JOEL: No, they're not gonna- yeah- they're not gonna-
GUS: They're not going to discount that.
JOEL: No. But what happens to those glasses?
JACK: They send them off and like clean them or something.
GUS: Yeah, right.
JOEL: They send them off and clean them…
BARB: Suspicious.
JACK: Well that's what they say.
JOEL: This is- you get them and they're in the little bag or whatever and it's just like, come on. What's going on here?
GUS: Look at it this way. You get on an airplane and they give you that fucking disease blanket. It's like that.
JOEL: All right. Listen, I have enough things in my life-
BARB: That thing always stinks.
JOEL: Goddamn, you guys.
GUS: They just rewrapped that in a plastic bag and gave that to you.
JOEL: Once you start going down the road of like, "Ew. There are germs on this." It's everywhere. And it's like, there's a fine
line, I felt fine about airplane- airplane blankets-
BARB: And yet we're all surviving perfectly well. It's fine. You're allowed to have germs in your life. They're not going to kill
you.
JOEL: I mean we're not even talking about the earplugs.
GUS: What's even scarier is the fucking pillows. People could be drooling on that shit and it's like up by your head and
you're leaning on it, putting your face on it. That's way worse to me.
BARB: Just bring your own.
JOEL: You don't think they wash them?
GUS: No, they don't. I know they don't.
JOEL: Of course they don't. Because the airlines have no fucking money.
GUS: Between every flight, you think they're like, "Okay. Time to take the dirty blankets off and put the clean ones on!"
Nope.
BEN: This is why- this is why we don't think about this stuff because it's just nicer being nieve to it all.
JACK: Do you know what the most disgusting part of a hotel room is?
JOEL: What is the most disgusting part of a hotel?
GUS: I could take a guess. I could take a good guess.
BEN: The sheets?
BARB: The glasses?
JACK: Gus will probably get it.
GUS: It's probably the remote.
JACK: It's the TV remote. The TV remote is the most germ-infested thing in a hotel room.
BARB: It's a good thing I never use it.
JOEL: But it's a piece of plastic that sits without anyone touching it so-
BARB: But no one-
JOEL: I mean, germs are not gonna live that long.
BARB: They never wash it though.
JACK: Yeah, but you don't clean it.
GUS: Tell that to your keyboard. Keyboards are apparently more germ-infested than toilets.
BEN: That makes sense.
BARB: Apparently the toilet is one of the cleanest surfaces in your house.
GUS: Keyboards are fucking filthy.
BEN: Think about how much food you eat and then you like type and type-
JOEL: I mean, I'm going to have to like get myself like a Hazmat suit for the rest of my fucking life.
JACK: We're going to blow Joel's mind now.
BARB: It's okay. You've survived this long and you're fine.
JACK: No, it's not okay.
GUS: Okay, let's uh, let's get out of here. See if we can find a Prometheus showing.
BARB: All right.
JACK: Check Bing.com.
GUS: Eat some food.
BARB: Buy your RTX tickets!
JACK: RTX.com!
BARB: Halo 4!
GUS: All right, well-
BEN: Become a sponsor!
GUS: Thanks for listening, everyone.
BARB: Thank you.
BEN: Goodbye.
