[Intro Song]
GUS: It’s time for the show.
JOEL: You really know how to pull weird ones out of- th-that was really…
GUS: H-th- I don’t pull, people submit ‘em.
JOEL: I mean that was uhh- can you- can you sing?
GUS: No, not at all.
JOEL: Was that you singing?
GUS: No. We are getting a late start on the podcast, so I should say we have Kara in here today.
KARA: What’s up guys.
GUS: Uhh Gav-
GAVIN: I’m Gavin.
GUS: Gavin and Joel.
GAVIN: You’re Joel right?
JOEL: Yes. What were you saying?
GAVIN: Uhhhhhhh that’s a good question. I was asking where the beer was, you usually have like Coronas or somethin’ in here, we got nothin’.
JOEL: Uhmmm, yeah, I mean the thing is I kinda- some days, I actually work…
GAVIN: Oh.
KARA: S-Sometimes you might wanna wait ‘till it’s PM instead of AM…
JOEL: I wish I really hadn’t worded that…
GUS: No. Yeah, w-we don’t want to have any beer in here this week ‘cause then Kara will open it with her teeth again.
GAVIN: Good point.
GUS: People really latched onto that.
KARA: Apparently, I didn’t think-
GAVIN: Th-The most disturbing thing- I wasn’t even on that podcast. The most disturbing part about that video, is that it’s just dead silent, it’s just like- Huffth. Th-There’s not like, clunk or… anything, it’s jus-
JOEL: Does it hurt at all?
GAVIN: -It just slips off.
KARA: No not at all.
JOEL: Do you have any fillings?
KARA: Nope. It’s a special talent.
JOEL: M-M-Maybe that’s why.
GUS: Yeah, I have fillings.
JOEL: Yeah I-
GUS: Ye- B-But that’s only like foil.
KARA: Yeah well you use like… like the corner.
GUS: I don’t think the- the bottle cap- Eughhh.
JOEL: I c- th- I don’t know- th- th- the thing, I can’t get the- I can’t get past it right?
GUS: That’s gonna chip your teeth.
JOEL: Y-Yeah you can’t-
GUS: You’re gonna fuck your teeth up.
KARA: Well I haven’t yet so…
GAVIN: How long have you been doin’ it?
GUS: That’s the spirit!
KARA: Exactly! Don’t stop until you get hurt.
JOEL: Have you ever had a- have you ever had a tooth pulled?
KARA: In my whole life?
JOEL: Yeah.
KARA: Yes.
GUS: No in your… partial life.
KARA: Oh I thought maybe because of the…
JOEL: Are you an alien? What’s happening.
KARA: No there is no kind of specially u-
JOEL: Do you have a- You have had a tooth pulled.
GAVIN: D-Did I tell you that I had a problem…
JOEL: Like a whole tooth pulled.
KARA: Yes.
GAVIN: I have a problem with her name.
KARA: You have? H-Have you ever had a tooth pulled? Joel?
JOEL: What happened? What’d you say, Gav?
KARA: Oh wh- what?
GAVIN: I had a problem with her name. I had to rename her to suit my…
JOEL: Who?
GAVIN: Because- because-
GUS: People can’t see when you point! People can’t see hear when you point you fucking idiot! Say it! KARA!
GAVIN: Yeah but the thing is, I have to- like to say KA-RA, I have to kind of s- like talk in funny American accent like the way I’d say how it’s spelt be Cara-
KARA: Alright, then say “Cara”.
GAVIN: Well I don’t wanna, ‘cause it doesn’t-doesn’t really sound right. So-
JOEL: You’re becoming self-aware of the way you talk, is that a thing?
GUS: So the way you talk doesn’t sound right.
GAVIN: Well…
KARA: Oh.
GAVIN: So for me to say “Ka-ra” it sounds like I’m doing an American accent to me. Which is annoying. SO I renamed her Dave.
KARA: I rena- I rename you an asshole.
GUS: I’ll go with that. Th-That’s too an- So how do you say carry? Like, you want to carry
something.
GAVIN: Oh, carry.
GUS: Carry.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: How’d you say Kerry the employee?
GAVIN: Kerry, ‘cause it’s with an e.
GUS: Could you say Ke-ra? K-Kerry with an a at the end?
KARA: An ass.
GAVIN: But there’s no E in her name.
GUS: Yeah but it’s more-
KARA: It’s the same-
GUS: -closer to “Kara” than…
KARA: Like say Kara like I care about you.
GAVIN: I care about you.
KARA: Okay. Just, drop the “bout”. Carabout.
GAVIN: No, that works.
KARA: Kara.
GAVIN: I st- I still prefer Dave, I’m sorry, I still prefer Dave.
GUS: What is your deal with renaming things? Didn’t you rename your cat?
GAVIN: I renamed my cat.
GUS: And then-
GAVIN: I renamed my sister as well…
GUS: D-Di-Di-Di-Di-
GAVIN: …as well.
GUS: -didn’t you also want to- did you pay to rename your brother?
GAVIN: I-
KARA: What.
GAVIN: I renamed my brother and I wanted to pay for him to legally change his name ‘cause I thought it would annoy my parents.
GUS: So… What is your problem, why do you have to rename everything?
GAVIN: Uhh, I just like stuff to suit me m-my sister named my cat Lexy, and I thought that
sucked, so I just renamed it Lloyd. It’s Lloyd the Cat now.
GUS: Mmhmm.
GAVIN: E-Everyone calls it Lloyd. And she’s really mad about that.
KARA: And it’s a female?
JOEL: But the cat- at the end of the day…
GAVIN: It’s a- it’s a female cat called Lloyd.
JOEL: It’s not going to come t- no matter what you- no matter what name you use it’s not gonna- it’s not gonna do what you want it to do, so I- Wh-Wh-Why does anyone name a cat anyway?
GUS: Right.
JOEL: I mean-
GUS: Has there ever been a cat in the history of the world-
JOEL: No.
GUS: - that responds to its name?
KARA: Yes.
JOEL: I-I-In anyway what so ever? No.
GUS: I-I cat, Kara. You’re a person.
KARA: I have a cat-
GUS: And you respond to Dave apparently.
KARA: No, I do not respond to Dave, I will never respond to that.
GAVIN: She gets so mad when I call her Dave.
KARA: Gavin responds to asshole though apparently, so…
GAVIN: No.
KARA: We’ll see.
GUS: Gavin responds if you kick him in the asshole too. I found that out.
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: Y-Yeah, any scars from your trip to Japan?
GAVIN: No. It was a good trip.
JOEL: Yeah?
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: Hey… No? You didn’t acquire any weird Japanese diseases or anything like that?
GAVIN: I- not that I’m aware of. D- S-Sometimes I take a long time to incubate.
GUS: Do you have any more trips coming up anytime soon? Mr. World Traveller?
GAVIN: I will be attending… RvBTO.
GUS: Oh, that’s…
JOEL: What is that?
GUS: Not this coming weekend, but next weekend.
GAVIN: Is it?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: I thought it was in August. Oh.
GUS: Yeah, yeah.
KARA: Yeah.
GAVIN: Oh Jesus.
JOEL: It’s like two weeks.
KARA: Gavin knows time so well.
GUS: It’s like August 2nd and 3rd, I think?
GAVIN: Is that a fun one? I’ve never been to it.
GUS: Yeah it’s a lot of fun. It’s the last RvBTO this year.
GAVIN: Who’s going?
GUS: Uhh I don’t know.
GAVIN: Hmm.
GUS: Some people.
GAVIN: Some people.
GUS: People will keep asking-
GAVIN: People will ask me-
GUS: -if you’re going to RvBTO. Uh I think uhh Burnie’s going up there for a little while, and I
believe Barbara may be as well. Be on that, I’m not sure.
GAVIN: Back to her roots.
GUS: Sh-She’s a special guest.
GAVIN: Oh interesting.
GUS: Uhmmm so we all went and did something cool last week. We saw, uhh the Dark Knight on Thursday.
GAVIN: Yes.
GUS: Uhh Thursday night before it came out. Uhh what did you guys think of the movie?
GAVIN: Are we spoiling this?
GUS: No, w- well no spoilers.
GAVIN: Alright, I thought it was okay. I didn’t think it was as good as the Dark Knight. The second one.
KARA: I agree with that.
GAVIN: Uhh it was good. I liked it.
GUS: Kara took notes throughout the movie, I-I-
KARA: I only did at the beginning!
GUS: I’m glad- I’m glad you’re here actually.
GAVIN: This…
JOEL: Why did you take notes?
KARA: No.
GAVIN: I don’t want to see a movie with anyone I know. I don’t wanna see a movie with anyone ever. I sat next to her in this movie. She was ch- gassing in my ear the entire time.
KARA: No I was not!
GAVIN: “Hoo! She wasn’t wearing her necklace just now!” and then she was like writin’ it down, and I was jus- I was just sittin’ there like…
GUS: So she was taking notes during the movie about-
GAVIN: She was, well…
GUS: -things she perceived interesting inaccuracies.
KARA: Yes!
JOEL: Y’know it’s funny is that we went and saw it at the Alamo, and that place normally is like if you go see it y’know with the public, they put a-
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: -y’know thing at the beginning where they’re like do not talk, do not talk and they’re really very serious about it, and uhmm we with another company actually rented out the theatre?
GAVIN: Y-Yeah so there was no problem.
JOEL: Yeah so we needed- when you do that apparently you are allowed to talk I guess, ‘cause you rented out the theatre? So we never got that warning message.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: So it’s like uhm…
KARA: Well we got the no- no tweeting no FaceBooking all that…
JOEL: No we didn’t even-
KARA: Oh well I got that message. As soon as you walk into the theatre.
JOEL: You did?
GUS: She’s talking about something on the screen.
KARA: Oh I was just kidding.
JOEL: Wh-Wh-What- what message did you think- what…
GUS: Uhh…
KARA: A verbal message.
GUS: So Kara taking notes- and Kara disappeared at one point during the movie, like I walked out during the movie-
GAVIN: She was just leaves for like half and hour ???
GUS: -and she’s just out there chatting with people in the hallway.
KARA: I-I like to talk- I was- I made a new friends.
GAVIN: Yeah b-
GUS: -we were inside the theatre so you went outside to talk to people?
KARA: I ha- I had to get it out somehow. It’s ho-
GAVIN: We were seeing one of the most anticipated movies of the entire year, and you were- a day before it was coming out, and then you just like… I’m gonna chat. With some dudes out in the hall just now.
KARA: That’s no- that is not- that’s not- that was not my original plan, no.
GUS: And someone else in the theatre was texting you.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Someone else one of our- another one of our employees was texting you what they
thought about the movie IN REAL TIME as you’re watching the fucking movie!
GAVIN: I will never… get my phone out of my pocket and look at it in a movie-
GUS: No! ‘Cause you’re an asshole if you take out your phone!
GAVIN: I- I –
KARA: There’s nobody else around you, so that’s not-
JOEL: That is- that is not as annoying to me as people talking.
GAVIN: No.
GUS: So if someone’s in front of you has a cellphone it’s totally annoying, ‘cause th-the light
distracts you.
JOEL: Yeah.
GAVIN: It just takes you out of the movie, even if it’s just for five seconds, you’re like, ”God
dammit, I’m watchin’ the damn-”
JOEL: Wh-Wh-What if the movie’s about cellphones.
GAVIN: So I- my phone’s going off in my pocket, vibratin’ over and over-
JOEL: Who-who was it?
GAVIN: Are we allowed to say who it was?
GUS: It’s okay if you want.
JOEL: was it Kara?
KARA: No.
GAVIN: It was Kathleen, maybe we could cut that. It was going off over and over again, I was like who the- who’s te-
JOEL: And she’s sitting in the theater?
GAVIN: Yeah she’s in there-
GUS: She was like sitting right behind you I think, right?
GAVIN: She was in front by a couple rows. And then I went out th-the movie ended… P- the
movie ended and I was furious at this point, because I have, just like people talking everywhere, and everyone was like-
JOEL: Well y-you- you turned your phone of too you know.
GAVIN: I could’ve done. I could’ve done. I should’ve done.
KARA: It’s what you’re supposed to do.
GAVIN: Who t- who turns their phone off ever? Anyway, so everyone does the American thing where the movie ends and for some reason you clap? There’s no point, there’s no one in there who made the movie, don’t bother clapping.
GUS: Do people clap?
GAVIN: Yeah people clap it there at that movie, and I- I didn’t clap. I just got up…
JOEL: That’s like a tree in the forest argument right there, I don’t know… and there’s- there’s not anyone on the movie.
GAVIN: I-I saw-
JOEL: Y’know there could’ve been someone there on the movie.
GAVIN: There’s no one there Joel.
JOEL: You never know.
GAVIN: N-Nobody works on movies there. I got up, stood up, just looked straight ahead, and just turned and walked straight out. While everyone was still there clapping.
KARA: Well aren’t you respectful.
GUS: No it was- it was fury not respect.
GAVIN: I was fuming, and then I took my phone out of my pocket, Kathleen’s texted me like about seven times being like… One of them was a picture of Tom Hardy-
GUS: I-
GAVIN: This is Bane. This is Bane, he’s really hot! And then the other one was like-
JOEL: Oh, yeaaaahhh I’d be pissed.
GAVIN: -but it was basically spoils from the movie, I don’t wanna be-
JOEL: Yeah, th-that-
GUS: D-D-D-Don’t say any spoilers.
GAVIN: It’s that predictions, I was like, I bet this is gonna happen. Awhhh this is gonna happen isn’t it?
KARA: Okay, well then at least it wasn’t taking- it wasn’t taking that bad.
JOEL: That’s pretty bad.
GAVIN: It was pretty bad.
JOEL: That’s pretty bad, I mean if- if- if- if the movie sucks and it’s terrible or whatever, and you hate the person, then it’s- then it’s okay to send them text messages, then it’s fun.
GAVIN: Yeah, ‘cause we’re making fun of the dumb movie.
JOEL: Right.
GAVIN: That was not- that was a good movie.
JOEL: It was- It wasn’t It was a good movie it wasn’t bad enough to send texts whole entire story.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: No no no.
JOEL: Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.
GUS: Yeah, I- I agree with the sentiment that I think I like the Dark Knight more.
GAVIN: Mm.
KARA: Mmhmm.
GUS: I felt like that this movie was kind of like Batman Begins where it’s-
KARA: Mmhmm.
GUS: - just too long? And th-th- Batman Begins…
KARA: I thought that too. It did a lot.
GUS: Th-The ending really dragged out I thought.
KARA: Mmhmm.
JOEL: Y’know everything is context. And… before that movie… Like Jack and I were having like long conversations about what we thought movie was gonna be about?
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: And he was like looking at a lot of speculation or whatever, and I bought into his
speculation as to what we thought the movie was gonna be about?
KARA: Mistake number one.
JOEL: So I was going from a different mind frame? So that made the movie way more
entertaining.
GUS: Hmm.
KARA: Hm.
JOEL: But, that’s how it always is right?
KARA: Ann Hathaway looked really hot.
JOEL: You can’t argue with that.
GUS: She did.
GAVIN: Let me ask you something about Bane.
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: Is-
JOEL: Did you understand a word he said throughout the whole movie?
GUS: I feel like they eased up on his voice filter, like when I went and I saw Ghost Protocol at the IMAX? Uhh back in December, at the beginning of the movie they showed that whole opening plane sequence from uhh the Dark Knight Rises.
JOEL: Uh-huh.
GUS: In- When I saw that, I could not understand a fucking word Bane said.
JOEL: I did not understand a word he- th-th-
GUS: N-No-Now I feel like they pulled back a little bit and they eased up on that filter and it- I could understand him now.
GAVIN: The screaming was kind of harsh.
JOEL: Well it’s strange ‘cause it’s sort of like when you go to Batman it’s gonna like start and then you’re gonna see the Batman symbol, and then there’s gonna be a slow drumbeat? And then the drum beat is basically gonna play for the next 3 hours. Except for it’s gonna slowly accelerate during the movie, so by the end of it, it’ll be like DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN and then… over that you hear Bane trying to talk? And you’re not gonna be able to understand what he’s saying.
GAVIN: His voi-
JOEL: And then there’s a scene in the movie, because he’s got the- the face mask thing?
GUS: Yeah, yeah.
JOEL: And then there’s a scene in the movie where he’s talking and the facemask thing can’t understand what he’s saying and then he goes to like a microphone and he puts the microphone over the facemask thing so he’s got like… two filters there and then I was like aren’t you getting another guy to put a speaker in front of the microphone and like…
GAVIN: It’s like I-I can’t like understand a word this guy’s saying, let’s have him yell at 5000
people through a megaphone.
JOEL: No, I mean it really like cut to scenes of people in the audience of people just being like I don’t know what he’s fucking saying.
GUS: I-It’d be funny to get people’s reactions, like have Bane say that- you know, delivered
dialogue on screen. It’d be people like- turn to people like what did he just say.
KARA: Exactly.
JOEL: I never understand what he said. He said it polite!
GUS: Wh-Wh- What just happened in this scene?
GAVIN: Th-The thing is-
JOEL: But it also made the movie more- more open to interpretation and then again the movie I saw was probably a lot better than the movie you saw.
GUS: In the movie’s defense it made Batman a hell of a lot more understandable.
JOEL: It did!
GUS: I had no problem understanding Batman.
JOEL: I-I-it did, it was just like you forgot about all that.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: Like totally.
GAVIN: His voice reminded me of someone doing an impression of a dog. Like you know when someone like talks like a dog, and it’s like… awill very painfwul for yuu.
KARA: What?
GUS: Yeah, that’s a dog talk.
KARA: How does that go?
JOEL: Wh-Wh-
GAVIN: Do an impression of a dog talking.
GUS: Why don’t you do it?
KARA: Why don’t you do it?
GAVIN: I just did it! That was it!
KARA: No.
GUS: Hold on, I have to hear it again.
GAVIN: I’m not doing that again.
GUS: You’re doing that again.
JOEL: Wh-What kind of dog is that?
KARA: Yeah, wh-wh-
JOEL: I-I’m…
GUS: Wh-What did you say, I didn’t even understand it.
GAVIN: That was- that was his uhh where he’s talking about what would happen if his mask
would come off.
GUS: Say it again.
GAVIN: I’m not doing it! I’m n-
GUS: Come on!
GAVIN: No way!
GUS: Well we gotta record it.
KARA: We’ll just play it on a loop.
GAVIN: It just kind of like sounded like “woofie”.
GUS: Yeah, “woofie”. What does that sound like?
GAVIN: So… Right, my question about Bane is this: ‘Member when the- really old crap Batman movies?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: It’s Bane- is that- is that the same guy, the who’s pumped with all the-
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: -the venom stuff.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: Y’know it’s funny somebody, on FaceBook flashed actually forwarded a video article from the DVD extras section of one of those old movies? And they were talking about like… sort of what everyone else thought of Bane? And then they went to talk to Joel Schumacher who’s talking about Bane, and it was like… Joel Schumacher was coming from a completely different like place where basically like- Well Bane is just the muscle.
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: And he’s just really dumb. And that’s what he is.
GAVIN: Well that’s what he was in the other movie, he was just the henchmen guy-
GUS: Right.
GAVIN: -in this he’s like a- th-
GUS: He’s supposed to- I-I’m not a big comic book guy but from what I understand, he’s
supposed to be incredibly smart.
GAVIN: Oh, so he just dumbed him for the other movie?
GUS: Yeah, the other movie was like to- I mean, like Joel Schumacher.
GAVIN: With uhh-
JOEL: It’s amazing those old-
GAVIN: -George Clooney.
JOEL: - Those old Batman movies, they do not age well.
GUS: They’re very very very-
GAVIN: They’re just so colourful, they’re annoyingly like-
JOEL: Y-Yeah I remember the time-
GAVIN: -pinky green.
JOEL: -where it’s like…
GAVIN: The blue.
JOEL: N’yeaahh.
GAVIN: Eugh.
GUS: Even at the time I think people thought they were terrible.
JOEL: Yeeah.
GUS: I thought people liked the first one, they liked th-the- the the Tim Burton one.
JOEL: Yeah. W-Well it’s a weird thing where it’s like I’mma make a Batman movie, I’m gonna make it whimsical.It’s like, no don’t make a Batman movie whimsical. Th-that’s not what i-it’s about. It’s about…
KARA: It’s not a Disney movie, no.
GUS: It’s a comic book movie, I think people were just trying to figure out how to make comic book movies at that point.
JOEL: I g- I guess so. And they were like- tha-that’s the thing that has to be talked about,
because there’s definitely a fine line between… I think you have to respect the comics to some extent?
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: But it- d- someone who we know, who is really into comics was talking about how he
thought- I’m not sure if I can get into this, but thought one of the other characters would be
something else.
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: Which would be more interesting…
GUS: Oh I see, yeah yeah.
JOEL: … preferring the comics.
GUS: Right.
JOEL: And uhm thought it was sort of dumbed down? Booooooooooooooooooooooo! Jack just walked in. Booooooooooooooooooooooooo!
KARA: Alright Jack-
JOEL: Booooooooooooooooooooooo!
KARA: -You get your spot.
GUS: J-Jack is gonna tag out with Kara. Thanks for joining us Kara, I’m glad we got a chance to meet-
KARA: Alright, later guys.
GUS: -you taking notes in the movie.
GAVIN: Bye.
JOEL: You guys have to high-five now.
GAVIN: Tag out.
JOEL: Now you’re just smacking-
JACK: Wow that was pretty good.
KARA: I give awesome high-fives.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: Thanks Kara.
KARA: Have fun.
JACK: Sh-She like gritted her teeth though, when she did it.
JOEL: Now you guys have’t’smack butts.
GUS: So we’re talking about the Dark Knight Rises, but in a non-spoiler fashion.
JACK: That’s difficult
JOEL: I think we’ve done a pretty good… job.
GUS: Yeah, we’ve done pretty good.
JACK: Okay so…
JOEL: There definitely needs to be fine line between respecting the comics and making it
accessible.
JACK: So what is the consensus on the movie so far?
GUS: I think we all agreed that it was good, but The Dark Knight was better.
JACK: Ok. Do we all agree that it was about 45 minutes too long?
GUS: Yes.
GAVIN: They’re all 45 minutes too long.
GUS: I think this movie was like what, 2 hours 45 minutes long.
JACK: It was really long.
JOEL: That didn’t bother me.
JACK: Yeah
JOEL: Just because anything that sort of changes up the formula a little bit I’m fine with, and it gave it a different sort of pacing or whatever which, that’s fine. Anything that’s different I like.
JACK: One of my problems I had with the movie that I don’t think it’s too spoilerific is that, there’s not enough Batman in it. Like it seems like Batman is gone for a long time.
GAVIN: It actually did feel that when it was towards the latter part of the movie when there was a lot of stuff going on, it cuts, like jump cut straight to Batman, I was like “Oh!”
(General Laughter)
JACK: Oh, there he is.
GAVIN: Hello
JOEL: This, is killing me that we can’t talk about stuff.
JACK: Yeah.
GAVIN: We should do a spoiler cast about…
JOEL: We were talking about last night, we were texting each other about how we should do a spoiler thing…
JACK: Yeah a spoilercast.
JOEL: … or talk about thing, we were all chomping at the bit to do that.
GUS: Yeah, I think Burnie wanted to be included, but he sent me a text at eleven o’clock saying “hey I can’t make it to the podcast”, so…
JACK: Oh Ok.
JOEL: And we were talking about two choices, Batman and Breaking Bad.
JACK: Well see ok, I argue Breaking Bad.
JOEL: I agree with you.
JACK: Ok.
JOEL: Because most people have not seen Batman yet.
JACK: No.
JOEL: Probably, and it’s going to take some time to digest it.
GUS: 160 million dollars worth of people saw Batman.
JOEL: But still, you know, still like a lot of people still may not have seen it, or maybe they want to see it twice or whatever.
JACK: Yeah
JOEL: But it’s like Breaking Bad, you’re still in it, you know because you can speculate on what’s going on.
JACK: See I want to talk about Breaking Bad like this week, like what already happened in this previous episode so we can talk about what happened this week, and then be like ok what do you think will happen next week.
JOEL: Yeah
JACK: The longer you wait the more…
GUS: Jack had a good idea for how to do it, maybe we’ll do it with an upcoming episode, there’s still several episodes left in the season.
JACK: There’s only six episodes left.
GUS: Is six several, I said several.
JACK: But still several I use for a whole season.
GUS: There are several episodes left, I am in no mood for shit today Jack, I already went over this.
JOEL: So like a couple episodes.
GAVIN: Have you seen Breaking Batman.
JACK: Breaking Batman, I have not seen Breaking Batman.
GUS: You missed Gavin talking in a dog’s voice.
JOEL: Go ahead, talk in a dog’s voice.
GUS: You’re gonna have to re listen …
GAVIN: Also like…
GUS: Say it
JACK: Go ahead, go ahead
GUS: Say something.
GAVIN: No it’s just that style of noise
JACK: YOU say something, I wanna hear you talk in a dog voice.
GUS: Your dog voice is amazing.
GAVIN: You should’ve been on time to the podcast.
JACK: I was finishing up my work.
GAVIN: OH dooin’ work ah?
JACK: I finished up what I was doing and then I joined the podcast, you walked out of the room and Geoff was like “Goddammit, I needed him to film something and he was like NOPE peace out and walked away.” You could have filmed something and helped Geoff out but no.
GAVIN: I’m gonna be here all day, what’s your problem.
JOEL: Were you gonna film something about a dog, that you the voiceover?
GAVIN: Ahh it was a thing…
GUS: you should do a let’s play in Minecraft just using your dog’s voice, and you should get a skin, are there any skins that make you look like a dog?
JACK: There is a cat
GAVIN: You can be Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie
JOEL: You and Michael did a video, uugh what the hell was that video.
GUS: Slenderman
JOEL: That was a funny video.
JACK: That was really funny
JOEL: and you assholes won’t finish the game
GAVIN: it was a scary game
JOEL: eeh eeh eeh scary game
JACK: Ok, next time we do that we need to film GAVIN playing, ‘cause GAVIN was all over that room, he was bouncing around.
GAVIN: It was scaring the absolute, guff out of me.
JACK: What is ‘Guff’, how much guff do you have in you.
GAVIN: Would you sit in a dark room, alone, knowing that there was no one within a mile of you, at night, playing that game
GUS: Did you, were you all playing in a dark room?
GAVIN: No, and it was still scary, that’s my point
JOEL: Well we should still absolutely do that now and film it probably
GAVIN: Do you get scared of stuff, I figure we’ll black it out, put a night vision camera on your face just to see.
JOEL: I generally get, have gotten scared of stuff yes
GAVIN: I got scared playing Fear
JOEL: You should make yourself scared of stuff because it’s more interesting.
GAVIN: No, it’s unpleasant.
JACK: Is there any way we can set up a computer in the annex and just darken everything?
GUS: Yeah, of course.
JACK: So that all you’re doing is just sitting there in the room by yourself
JOEL: The annex is scarier when it’s lit.
JACK: No, no
JOEL: have you seen the annex it’s the scariest looking building ever
GUS: did you see the photo that Chris tweeted yesterday? We had a, Brandon and I were trying to figure out how…
GAVIN: That looked like something out of world war two, what was going on?
GUS: …how we were gonna hang lights up on the rafters…
JOEL: uh huh
GUS: so we had to get on the scissor lift, we went up like 20 feet in the air or something, so and then we got a C-clamp and put it on the rafter and we thought well we need to put some weight on it so we got that giant wrench we had and hung it on the C-clamp and we thought well this is dangerous, we should put some head protection on so we got those Immersion army helmets and we were wearing them up there on the scissor lift under this giant wrench while looking up at the ceiling.
JOEL: that sounds like a disaster… you should definitely
GUS: Chris secretly took a photo and I look at it like, we look like fucking retards, we look so stupid up there.
GAVIN: Was it all three of you up there?
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: See that should be…
GUS: I had never been on the scissor lift before
JOEL: … that should be part of the set.
GUS: It’s like, wavy
JACK: It moves
JOEL: Oh yeah it moves
GUS: We actually have people over there right now, we have volunteers over there ‘cause we didn’t want, ‘cause we’re having them sit there all day so they can adjust lighting around them it’s like stand-ins, so that we don’t have to pull anyone off of work like Gavin who wouldn’t just walk out on his job…So- so took out volunteers to go out there-
GAVIN: Do I have a stand in right now? I have a stand in?
GUS: You have a stand in.
GAVIN: Wow.
GUS: Who will stand there for eight hours while I light stuff around them.
JOEL: Do they know that we’re- this is not important enough to have stand ins?
JACK: Shhhh. Shhhh.
GUS: They don’t know.
JACK: Don’t tell them that. Wait, wait. So, are these volunteers like people-
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: -like friends of friends or something?
GUS: I think they were guardians.
JOEL: I am- I am sitting in this seat so some asshole can come sit in this seat later and say the word “boobs” for an hour. That’s pretty much-
GUS: So that some assholes can be in the other building talking about The Dark Knight Rises.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Talking about how they saw the movie early and-
JOEL: Like, the conversation they’re having over there is probably more topical and relevant than what we’re talking about over here.
GUS: You think so?
JACK: So-
JOEL: Probably.
JACK: So- so- are the doubles over there, are they like- do they- are they dressing up like us?
GUS: Just to clarify, they’re not doubles. They’re not like, impersonating us.
JOEL: Did you go and get like, a giant- like, bush, to stand in for Jack cause how are you gonna light that?
GUS: He trimmed his beard.
JACK: I trimmed it. It’s all clean now.
JOEL: It’s like; you need a tumbleweed with a pair of glasses.
GUS: Okay, how long did you go without trimming that beard?
JACK: Uh, probably about, almost eight months.
GUS: What?
JACK I mean, well I trimmed the sides but like the bottom I just let grow and grow. And the way it worked was like, I went to- I went to the- to get my hair-
JOEL Y’know when you had that-
JACK: Shut the fuck up.
JOEL: You looked like a-
JACK: I went to get my hair cut and I was like, okay I showed the woman a photo from like, probably four/five months ago so it was still long, but it wasn’t like, out of control and I was like, this is what I- what I want, I don’t want to get rid of all of it just y’know, trim it down a little bit. She goes, okay and like pulled out this razor and like [razor noise] and just killed all of it like in one shot and I was like, uh, oh, okay.
GAVIN: Did you say anything to her?
JACK: No. I can’t have her put it back on, it’s like-
JOEL: That’s a- you gotta write that down like a balance of like, if I insult them more then there’ll be more pay, yeah, you’ve just cut your losses and not insult them.
JACK: So, it’s short, I mean it looks- it’s clean and all, it’s nice.
GAVIN: Let me ask you-
JOEL: Y’- y’know when you get a pet, like an animal and you give the animal like a haircut?
JACK: No.
JOEL: And at the end of the haircut they just kind of look sad. Like, they look less of a person-
JACK: Other than a dog, what animal do you give haircuts to?
JOEL: I- I’m just- I can’t get over your- your face.
JACK: Deflection.
GUS: Subject change.
JOEL: You look like a Yorkshire terrier.
GAVIN: Why didn’t you shave your own damn beard?
JACK: Well, no, cause I went to get my haircut cause like they do- do it professionally and I would rather have a professional-
GAVIN: You need a professional to deal with your beard?
JACK: Yeah. Well, I might as well.
GUS: Did you see how unruly that beard was? I wouldn’t want to touch it either.
JACK: But it seems like, I can change the oil in my car but I would rather go take it somewhere people know what the fuck they’re doing.
GUS: But you don’t have to m- fucking worry about disposing of your beard hair afterwards.
JACK: Well, my beard hair’s pretty serious.
GUS: It’s a totally different thing, I’m with you up to a point.
JACK: Okay, but then they did bring out a bag that had the uh, biohazard symbol on it and put it all in there so.
GUS: Uh, I wanna mention, we’re doing a giveaway this week.
JACK: Oh we’re doing a giveaway?
GAVIN: To a listener?
JACK: You gave away- did you give away something last week?
GUS: Uhh, yeah, we did. We gave away the uh-
JACK: Marcus Fenix thing right?
GUS: Yeah, the Project Triforce stuff.
JACK: Those things were sick as hell.
JOEL: I mean, if you ever- I don’t know if you ever talked about some of the stuff we gave away at umm, RTX?
GUS: Uh-uh.
JOEL: But it’s like, that was amazing stuff.
GUS: So we gave away some more of that stuff last week.
JACK: They gave like, another snub pistol and stuff, right?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: Yeah, those-
GUS: And then two of the Marcus Fenix busts.
GAVIN: -replica guns were really awesome to hold.
GUS: This week however, we’re giving away something different.
JACK: Uh-oh.
GUS: We’re not giving away anymore of those. We’re gonna give away- or, I should say that GameMinder, whose sponsoring this podcast-
JOEL: Hey.
GUS: -is uh, giving away an Xbox 360, signed by the Rooster Teeth staff.
JACK: Oh cool.
GUS: And uh, the- y’know GameMinder will- was at RTX and you can hear them talk about RTX on their own podcast, who we will crush. Um, and uh, I’m still using that app, I don’t if uh, if you are.
JACK: Yeah, I- I used it yesterday as a matter of fact.
GUS: But uh, you can it helps remind you what the release dates for games are, and when games are available for pre-order, you can pre-order them directly through the app. And uh, get push notifications-
JOEL: Who do you pre-order through, anybody?
GUS: Yeah, I believe it goes through Amazon. And uh, you can get whichever app you want, it’s for uh, Android, IOS, uh, and you can get it from gameminder.com.
JACK: I used it yesterday to look up when Borderlands 2 was coming out.
GUS: I have a reminder set for that.
GAVIN: So, the way it works, what do you do? Pick the games you wanna know about and it’ll just push- push notifications-
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: -to your phone.
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: So it doesn’t notify you about every game?
GUS: Right.
GAVIN: Okay.
GUS: You can- and you can choose specific- you can filter by platform if you want and to find specific games, it’s like here, I’ve got five set up right there.
GAVIN: Oh, that’s awesome.
GUS: As you yawn.
JACK: You dick.
GUS: [imitates Gavin yawning while talking]
JACK: It is a really cool app-
GUS: Yeah.
JACK -and I definitely have made use of it.
GUS: Yeah like, I clicked on Halo 4 and there’s an Amazon link right there if you wanna buy it.
GAVIN: Oh, that’s awesome.
GUS: And then you can cancel your order. It’s pretty cool, so earlier I didn’t say, if you want to uh, to- to be- to have a chance to win the Xbox 360 uh, just send a tweet, with the hash tag gameminder360, gameminder360, altogether.
JACK: Are Rooster Teeth employees eligible for this?
GUS: Rooster Teeth employees are not eligible.
JACK: Damnit.
GUS: And the contest ends this Friday uh, at noon Texas time.
JACK: Noon Texas time, alright.
JOEL: Central time.
GUS: Yes, central.
JACK: Yeah, central standard time. Minus 6 GMT.
GUS: So uh-
JACK: IS that correct with daylight savings time?
GUS: I don’t know if it’s -5 or -6, that’s why I stopped saying it.
JACK: Okay.
GUS: So I just say Texas time.
GAVIN: Will it- do- does it actually change here? Cause you have to- the way it works is that we go from GMT 0 to GMT +1 in the summer.
GUS: Yeah, see that’s why I don’t know. Plus, also I think you all change your clock at a different time than we change our clock.
GAVIN: Yeah, there’s like a- I think there’s a week long period where Texas is only five hours behind England and then the next week it’s six hours.
JACK: Is it- is that the fifty-two hour day you were talking about?
GAVIN: Shut up Jack.
GUS: When I went to MCM in October, that’s when the UK set their clocks an hour back.
GAVIN: Right.
GUS: Then I came back to the United States and we hadn’t set it and like two days later, we had to change it again, I was like, stop fucking with me!
JOEL: Yeah, it’s a huge pain in the ass.
JACK: Have we talked about Gavin asking what time it was in space?
GUS: No we have not.
JACK: Oh, oh my god.
GAVIN: It’s a valid question, everyone’s going crazy. It- the international space station, there’s people on there who have to know what time it is.
JACK: We had- we had the-
GAVIN: Which time zone do they take their time from? It’s just- it’s an actual question.
JACK: No, that’s not what you said. So we had dinner the other night and we were talking about the international space station and Gavin, straight up, strai- y’know, completely serious said, well what time is it in space? And everyone at the table kinda stopped and looked at him and was like, wow, you are really that dumb and now he’s trying to say, oh what time is it- what time zone is it? And it’s like, no, no, that’s not what you said.
GAVIN: We were talking specifically about the ISS so I asked what time is it, in space.
JACK: Yes, that’s exactly what you said.
GUS: I’m sure- time is relative to where you are on Earth, so I’m sure they just pick a time zone, probably GMT and then they stick with that.
GAVIN: Yeah?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: Thanks for your answer Gus.
GUS: There you go.
GAVIN: I appreciate it.
GUS: As- as for the rest of space, I don’t know. I don’t know what time it is on Mars, I don’t know what time it is on the fucking Soyuz fucking shuttle is it- or capsule as it’s going back to ISS. But I can tell you, on the ISS, it’s probably GMT. So, when you’re back in England, you’re on ISS time. When the fuck are you leaving?
JACK: Why d’you come back?
GAVIN: I left for a long time.
JACK: You ditched everyone at RTX, you didn’t wanna go, you clearly hated RTX, I’m sorry Gus, that Gavin hated RTX so much-
GUS: That’s okay.
JACK: -that he wouldn’t go to it.
GUS: Burnie told the story about your dick touching a urinal.
JACK: That is true.
GAVIN: That-
JOEL: That probably more than made up for-
GAVIN: That- that was a bad time. Imma wait till Burnie’s on to talk about that again.
JACK: So you were legitimately pissed off at Burnie when he did that.
GAVIN: My genitals bonged into the- in the cold, metal, pissy surface of a urinal.
JACK & GUS: Urinal.
GUS: Can you get an STD like that?
JACK: I hope.
GAVIN: You ab- probably, absolutely can! If someone’s like, spunks some chlamydia up the side of it.
JACK: Were you- were you still urinating when it touched.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Aww, did you- did it like spray all over you?
JOEL: Did you get backsplash?
GAVIN: The thing is-
JOEL: How do you justify that in your mind?
GAVIN: The thing is, I don’t know how you pee when your, y’know peeing into one of those trough things but I was looking down at- at my gentlemen and I was looking at it, peeing, and then all of a sudden I get like, kicked in the arse so I go flying forwards and I’m like, aw, I’m gonna bang my face! Cause I’m holding my jenny’s-
JACK: Okay, so you’re- you use two hands to hold yours when you pee?
GAVIN: I think because I don’t go through the fly, one was holding down my jeans and the other was holding my-
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: -like, my aim so-
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: -I was like, dual-wielding.
GUS: You were dual-wielding.
GAVIN: I got kicked forward and my face is about to hit the wall. So I’m like, ooh, and I lent back.
GUS: You went in dick first into the wall?
GAVIN: And my John Thomas just goes gink.
GUS: Did it make a noise?
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Ugh.
GAVIN: It was like- it was like one of those- imagine a piece of metal was thin enough where if you pushed it, it would be like [noise].
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: It did that and it was like, it rattled too.
JACK: So was there anyone else next to you like at the urinal?
GAVIN: Not at that point.
JACK: Okay.
GAVIN: And then um, Burnie came out like tears down his face laughing and then we went, the bathroom was literally opposite our booth so, everyone watched us go in there together-
JACK: Nice.
GAVIN: -and they watched him come out like, tearing with laughter and me, just like, I need to wash my penis.
GUS: Did you go back to your room and like, take a dick shower or something?
GAVIN: I showered thoroughly that night.
JACK: A dick shower.
GAVIN: But I had to sit there all day with a bloody- I dunno, a-
JACK: Don’t- don’t say bloody. Don’t use that term when your describing your penis.
GAVIN: There wasn’t- there was no blood, thankfully.
JACK: Okay. That’s fucking hilarious.
JOEL: I’m . . . derailed.
JACK: We’ve broken Joel.
JOEL: I’m derailed, I’m-
JACK: Joel, what is in that- that Starbucks cup that you always have with you at all times.
JOEL: Um, tea.
JACK: Are you sure?
JOEL: Yeah. Y’know what I do, is I order tea in the morning, and then we go out to lunch or whatever and then I get sweet tea and then I bring the sweet tea and I put it in the thing with the tea so it’s like double tea.
JACK: But its like- it’s like green, nasty tea or something now.
GUS: Green tea’s not nasty.
JOEL: It’s tea.
JACK: No, but I’m not saying green teas that, I’m saying whatever he has in there is nasty.
GUS: It’s green tea.
JACK: I dunno. No, there’s more to it than that.
JOEL: Jack is working too hard.
GUS: Did you put beer in there?
JOEL: Jack- No, I shou- I should.
GUS: Oh, man.
JOEL: I should put beer.
GUS: So, at RTX, people gave me a ton of liquor so I’ve been drinking like hardcore every night trying to get through it. Uh, someone gave me this- this- this bottle of moonshine called Old Smokey. And it has like, maraschino cherries in it and its super red.
JOEL: That sounds awesome.
GUS: And it may be the best thing I’ve ever drank in my life.
JOEL: Bring some of it in.
GUS: I drank it all.
JOEL: Oh you fucker.
GUS: I can’t find anymore in Austin, I’ll have to find a place- somewhere online.
GAVIN: Is it the sort of stuff where it just glides down, it doesn’t even feel like you’re drinking anything.
GUS: Yeah, it’s like sugary sweet, like you add it to any soda and it’ll be like, a cherry Coke-
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: -or a cherry Sprite.
JACK: That’s cool.
GUS: And uh-
JOEL: That is cool. I wish we could have some.
GUS: No!
JACK: Ole Smokey is what it’s called?
GUS: Yeah, um-
GAVIN: Who gave you that?
[Intro Song]
GUS: It’s time for the show.
JOEL: You really know how to pull weird ones out of- th-that was really…
GUS: H-th- I don’t pull, people submit ‘em.
JOEL: I mean that was uhh- can you- can you sing?
GUS: No, not at all.
JOEL: Was that you singing?
GUS: No. We are getting a late start on the podcast, so I should say we have Kara in here today.
KARA: What’s up guys.
GUS: Uhh Gav-
GAVIN: I’m Gavin.
GUS: Gavin and Joel.
GAVIN: You’re Joel right?
JOEL: Yes. What were you saying?
GAVIN: Uhhhhhhh that’s a good question. I was asking where the beer was, you usually have like Coronas or somethin’ in here, we got nothin’.
JOEL: Uhmmm, yeah, I mean the thing is I kinda- some days, I actually work…
GAVIN: Oh.
KARA: S-Sometimes you might wanna wait ‘till it’s PM instead of AM…
JOEL: I wish I really hadn’t worded that…
GUS: No. Yeah, w-we don’t want to have any beer in here this week ‘cause then Kara will open it with her teeth again.
GAVIN: Good point.
GUS: People really latched onto that.
KARA: Apparently, I didn’t think-
GAVIN: Th-The most disturbing thing- I wasn’t even on that podcast. The most disturbing part about that video, is that it’s just dead silent, it’s just like- Huffth. Th-There’s not like, clunk or… anything, it’s jus-
JOEL: Does it hurt at all?
GAVIN: -It just slips off.
KARA: No not at all.
JOEL: Do you have any fillings?
KARA: Nope. It’s a special talent.
JOEL: M-M-Maybe that’s why.
GUS: Yeah, I have fillings.
JOEL: Yeah I-
GUS: Ye- B-But that’s only like foil.
KARA: Yeah well you use like… like the corner.
GUS: I don’t think the- the bottle cap- Eughhh.
JOEL: I c- th- I don’t know- th- th- the thing, I can’t get the- I can’t get past it right?
GUS: That’s gonna chip your teeth.
JOEL: Y-Yeah you can’t-
GUS: You’re gonna fuck your teeth up.
KARA: Well I haven’t yet so…
GAVIN: How long have you been doin’ it?
GUS: That’s the spirit!
KARA: Exactly! Don’t stop until you get hurt.
JOEL: Have you ever had a- have you ever had a tooth pulled?
KARA: In my whole life?
JOEL: Yeah.
KARA: Yes.
GUS: No in your… partial life.
KARA: Oh I thought maybe because of the…
JOEL: Are you an alien? What’s happening.
KARA: No there is no kind of specially u-
JOEL: Do you have a- You have had a tooth pulled.
GAVIN: D-Did I tell you that I had a problem…
JOEL: Like a whole tooth pulled.
KARA: Yes.
GAVIN: I have a problem with her name.
KARA: You have? H-Have you ever had a tooth pulled? Joel?
JOEL: What happened? What’d you say, Gav?
KARA: Oh wh- what?
GAVIN: I had a problem with her name. I had to rename her to suit my…
JOEL: Who?
GAVIN: Because- because-
GUS: People can’t see when you point! People can’t see hear when you point you fucking idiot! Say it! KARA!
GAVIN: Yeah but the thing is, I have to- like to say KA-RA, I have to kind of s- like talk in funny American accent like the way I’d say how it’s spelt be Cara-
KARA: Alright, then say “Cara”.
GAVIN: Well I don’t wanna, ‘cause it doesn’t-doesn’t really sound right. So-
JOEL: You’re becoming self-aware of the way you talk, is that a thing?
GUS: So the way you talk doesn’t sound right.
GAVIN: Well…
KARA: Oh.
GAVIN: So for me to say “Ka-ra” it sounds like I’m doing an American accent to me. Which is annoying. SO I renamed her Dave.
KARA: I rena- I rename you an asshole.
GUS: I’ll go with that. Th-That’s too an- So how do you say carry? Like, you want to carry
something.
GAVIN: Oh, carry.
GUS: Carry.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: How’d you say Kerry the employee?
GAVIN: Kerry, ‘cause it’s with an e.
GUS: Could you say Ke-ra? K-Kerry with an a at the end?
KARA: An ass.
GAVIN: But there’s no E in her name.
GUS: Yeah but it’s more-
KARA: It’s the same-
GUS: -closer to “Kara” than…
KARA: Like say Kara like I care about you.
GAVIN: I care about you.
KARA: Okay. Just, drop the “bout”. Carabout.
GAVIN: No, that works.
KARA: Kara.
GAVIN: I st- I still prefer Dave, I’m sorry, I still prefer Dave.
GUS: What is your deal with renaming things? Didn’t you rename your cat?
GAVIN: I renamed my cat.
GUS: And then-
GAVIN: I renamed my sister as well…
GUS: D-Di-Di-Di-Di-
GAVIN: …as well.
GUS: -didn’t you also want to- did you pay to rename your brother?
GAVIN: I-
KARA: What.
GAVIN: I renamed my brother and I wanted to pay for him to legally change his name ‘cause I thought it would annoy my parents.
GUS: So… What is your problem, why do you have to rename everything?
GAVIN: Uhh, I just like stuff to suit me m-my sister named my cat Lexy, and I thought that
sucked, so I just renamed it Lloyd. It’s Lloyd the Cat now.
GUS: Mmhmm.
GAVIN: E-Everyone calls it Lloyd. And she’s really mad about that.
KARA: And it’s a female?
JOEL: But the cat- at the end of the day…
GAVIN: It’s a- it’s a female cat called Lloyd.
JOEL: It’s not going to come t- no matter what you- no matter what name you use it’s not gonna- it’s not gonna do what you want it to do, so I- Wh-Wh-Why does anyone name a cat anyway?
GUS: Right.
JOEL: I mean-
GUS: Has there ever been a cat in the history of the world-
JOEL: No.
GUS: - that responds to its name?
KARA: Yes.
JOEL: I-I-In anyway what so ever? No.
GUS: I-I cat, Kara. You’re a person.
KARA: I have a cat-
GUS: And you respond to Dave apparently.
KARA: No, I do not respond to Dave, I will never respond to that.
GAVIN: She gets so mad when I call her Dave.
KARA: Gavin responds to asshole though apparently, so…
GAVIN: No.
KARA: We’ll see.
GUS: Gavin responds if you kick him in the asshole too. I found that out.
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: Y-Yeah, any scars from your trip to Japan?
GAVIN: No. It was a good trip.
JOEL: Yeah?
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: Hey… No? You didn’t acquire any weird Japanese diseases or anything like that?
GAVIN: I- not that I’m aware of. D- S-Sometimes I take a long time to incubate.
GUS: Do you have any more trips coming up anytime soon? Mr. World Traveller?
GAVIN: I will be attending… RvBTO.
GUS: Oh, that’s…
JOEL: What is that?
GUS: Not this coming weekend, but next weekend.
GAVIN: Is it?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: I thought it was in August. Oh.
GUS: Yeah, yeah.
KARA: Yeah.
GAVIN: Oh Jesus.
JOEL: It’s like two weeks.
KARA: Gavin knows time so well.
GUS: It’s like August 2nd and 3rd, I think?
GAVIN: Is that a fun one? I’ve never been to it.
GUS: Yeah it’s a lot of fun. It’s the last RvBTO this year.
GAVIN: Who’s going?
GUS: Uhh I don’t know.
GAVIN: Hmm.
GUS: Some people.
GAVIN: Some people.
GUS: People will keep asking-
GAVIN: People will ask me-
GUS: -if you’re going to RvBTO. Uh I think uhh Burnie’s going up there for a little while, and I
believe Barbara may be as well. Be on that, I’m not sure.
GAVIN: Back to her roots.
GUS: Sh-She’s a special guest.
GAVIN: Oh interesting.
GUS: Uhmmm so we all went and did something cool last week. We saw, uhh the Dark Knight on Thursday.
GAVIN: Yes.
GUS: Uhh Thursday night before it came out. Uhh what did you guys think of the movie?
GAVIN: Are we spoiling this?
GUS: No, w- well no spoilers.
GAVIN: Alright, I thought it was okay. I didn’t think it was as good as the Dark Knight. The second one.
KARA: I agree with that.
GAVIN: Uhh it was good. I liked it.
GUS: Kara took notes throughout the movie, I-I-
KARA: I only did at the beginning!
GUS: I’m glad- I’m glad you’re here actually.
GAVIN: This…
JOEL: Why did you take notes?
KARA: No.
GAVIN: I don’t want to see a movie with anyone I know. I don’t wanna see a movie with anyone ever. I sat next to her in this movie. She was ch- gassing in my ear the entire time.
KARA: No I was not!
GAVIN: “Hoo! She wasn’t wearing her necklace just now!” and then she was like writin’ it down, and I was jus- I was just sittin’ there like…
GUS: So she was taking notes during the movie about-
GAVIN: She was, well…
GUS: -things she perceived interesting inaccuracies.
KARA: Yes!
JOEL: Y’know it’s funny is that we went and saw it at the Alamo, and that place normally is like if you go see it y’know with the public, they put a-
GAVIN: Yeah.
JOEL: -y’know thing at the beginning where they’re like do not talk, do not talk and they’re really very serious about it, and uhmm we with another company actually rented out the theatre?
GAVIN: Y-Yeah so there was no problem.
JOEL: Yeah so we needed- when you do that apparently you are allowed to talk I guess, ‘cause you rented out the theatre? So we never got that warning message.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: So it’s like uhm…
KARA: Well we got the no- no tweeting no FaceBooking all that…
JOEL: No we didn’t even-
KARA: Oh well I got that message. As soon as you walk into the theatre.
JOEL: You did?
GUS: She’s talking about something on the screen.
KARA: Oh I was just kidding.
JOEL: Wh-Wh-What- what message did you think- what…
GUS: Uhh…
KARA: A verbal message.
GUS: So Kara taking notes- and Kara disappeared at one point during the movie, like I walked out during the movie-
GAVIN: She was just leaves for like half and hour ???
GUS: -and she’s just out there chatting with people in the hallway.
KARA: I-I like to talk- I was- I made a new friends.
GAVIN: Yeah b-
GUS: -we were inside the theatre so you went outside to talk to people?
KARA: I ha- I had to get it out somehow. It’s ho-
GAVIN: We were seeing one of the most anticipated movies of the entire year, and you were- a day before it was coming out, and then you just like… I’m gonna chat. With some dudes out in the hall just now.
KARA: That’s no- that is not- that’s not- that was not my original plan, no.
GUS: And someone else in the theatre was texting you.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Someone else one of our- another one of our employees was texting you what they
thought about the movie IN REAL TIME as you’re watching the fucking movie!
GAVIN: I will never… get my phone out of my pocket and look at it in a movie-
GUS: No! ‘Cause you’re an asshole if you take out your phone!
GAVIN: I- I –
KARA: There’s nobody else around you, so that’s not-
JOEL: That is- that is not as annoying to me as people talking.
GAVIN: No.
GUS: So if someone’s in front of you has a cellphone it’s totally annoying, ‘cause th-the light
distracts you.
JOEL: Yeah.
GAVIN: It just takes you out of the movie, even if it’s just for five seconds, you’re like, ”God
dammit, I’m watchin’ the damn-”
JOEL: Wh-Wh-What if the movie’s about cellphones.
GAVIN: So I- my phone’s going off in my pocket, vibratin’ over and over-
JOEL: Who-who was it?
GAVIN: Are we allowed to say who it was?
GUS: It’s okay if you want.
JOEL: was it Kara?
KARA: No.
GAVIN: It was Kathleen, maybe we could cut that. It was going off over and over again, I was like who the- who’s te-
JOEL: And she’s sitting in the theater?
GAVIN: Yeah she’s in there-
GUS: She was like sitting right behind you I think, right?
GAVIN: She was in front by a couple rows. And then I went out th-the movie ended… P- the
movie ended and I was furious at this point, because I have, just like people talking everywhere, and everyone was like-
JOEL: Well y-you- you turned your phone of too you know.
GAVIN: I could’ve done. I could’ve done. I should’ve done.
KARA: It’s what you’re supposed to do.
GAVIN: Who t- who turns their phone off ever? Anyway, so everyone does the American thing where the movie ends and for some reason you clap? There’s no point, there’s no one in there who made the movie, don’t bother clapping.
GUS: Do people clap?
GAVIN: Yeah people clap it there at that movie, and I- I didn’t clap. I just got up…
JOEL: That’s like a tree in the forest argument right there, I don’t know… and there’s- there’s not anyone on the movie.
GAVIN: I-I saw-
JOEL: Y’know there could’ve been someone there on the movie.
GAVIN: There’s no one there Joel.
JOEL: You never know.
GAVIN: N-Nobody works on movies there. I got up, stood up, just looked straight ahead, and just turned and walked straight out. While everyone was still there clapping.
KARA: Well aren’t you respectful.
GUS: No it was- it was fury not respect.
GAVIN: I was fuming, and then I took my phone out of my pocket, Kathleen’s texted me like about seven times being like… One of them was a picture of Tom Hardy-
GUS: I-
GAVIN: This is Bane. This is Bane, he’s really hot! And then the other one was like-
JOEL: Oh, yeaaaahhh I’d be pissed.
GAVIN: -but it was basically spoils from the movie, I don’t wanna be-
JOEL: Yeah, th-that-
GUS: D-D-D-Don’t say any spoilers.
GAVIN: It’s that predictions, I was like, I bet this is gonna happen. Awhhh this is gonna happen isn’t it?
KARA: Okay, well then at least it wasn’t taking- it wasn’t taking that bad.
JOEL: That’s pretty bad.
GAVIN: It was pretty bad.
JOEL: That’s pretty bad, I mean if- if- if- if the movie sucks and it’s terrible or whatever, and you hate the person, then it’s- then it’s okay to send them text messages, then it’s fun.
GAVIN: Yeah, ‘cause we’re making fun of the dumb movie.
JOEL: Right.
GAVIN: That was not- that was a good movie.
JOEL: It was- It wasn’t It was a good movie it wasn’t bad enough to send texts whole entire story.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: No no no.
JOEL: Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.
GUS: Yeah, I- I agree with the sentiment that I think I like the Dark Knight more.
GAVIN: Mm.
KARA: Mmhmm.
GUS: I felt like that this movie was kind of like Batman Begins where it’s-
KARA: Mmhmm.
GUS: - just too long? And th-th- Batman Begins…
KARA: I thought that too. It did a lot.
GUS: Th-The ending really dragged out I thought.
KARA: Mmhmm.
JOEL: Y’know everything is context. And… before that movie… Like Jack and I were having like long conversations about what we thought movie was gonna be about?
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: And he was like looking at a lot of speculation or whatever, and I bought into his
speculation as to what we thought the movie was gonna be about?
KARA: Mistake number one.
JOEL: So I was going from a different mind frame? So that made the movie way more
entertaining.
GUS: Hmm.
KARA: Hm.
JOEL: But, that’s how it always is right?
KARA: Ann Hathaway looked really hot.
JOEL: You can’t argue with that.
GUS: She did.
GAVIN: Let me ask you something about Bane.
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: Is-
JOEL: Did you understand a word he said throughout the whole movie?
GUS: I feel like they eased up on his voice filter, like when I went and I saw Ghost Protocol at the IMAX? Uhh back in December, at the beginning of the movie they showed that whole opening plane sequence from uhh the Dark Knight Rises.
JOEL: Uh-huh.
GUS: In- When I saw that, I could not understand a fucking word Bane said.
JOEL: I did not understand a word he- th-th-
GUS: N-No-Now I feel like they pulled back a little bit and they eased up on that filter and it- I could understand him now.
GAVIN: The screaming was kind of harsh.
JOEL: Well it’s strange ‘cause it’s sort of like when you go to Batman it’s gonna like start and then you’re gonna see the Batman symbol, and then there’s gonna be a slow drumbeat? And then the drum beat is basically gonna play for the next 3 hours. Except for it’s gonna slowly accelerate during the movie, so by the end of it, it’ll be like DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN and then… over that you hear Bane trying to talk? And you’re not gonna be able to understand what he’s saying.
GAVIN: His voi-
JOEL: And then there’s a scene in the movie, because he’s got the- the face mask thing?
GUS: Yeah, yeah.
JOEL: And then there’s a scene in the movie where he’s talking and the facemask thing can’t understand what he’s saying and then he goes to like a microphone and he puts the microphone over the facemask thing so he’s got like… two filters there and then I was like aren’t you getting another guy to put a speaker in front of the microphone and like…
GAVIN: It’s like I-I can’t like understand a word this guy’s saying, let’s have him yell at 5000
people through a megaphone.
JOEL: No, I mean it really like cut to scenes of people in the audience of people just being like I don’t know what he’s fucking saying.
GUS: I-It’d be funny to get people’s reactions, like have Bane say that- you know, delivered
dialogue on screen. It’d be people like- turn to people like what did he just say.
KARA: Exactly.
JOEL: I never understand what he said. He said it polite!
GUS: Wh-Wh- What just happened in this scene?
GAVIN: Th-The thing is-
JOEL: But it also made the movie more- more open to interpretation and then again the movie I saw was probably a lot better than the movie you saw.
GUS: In the movie’s defense it made Batman a hell of a lot more understandable.
JOEL: It did!
GUS: I had no problem understanding Batman.
JOEL: I-I-it did, it was just like you forgot about all that.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: Like totally.
GAVIN: His voice reminded me of someone doing an impression of a dog. Like you know when someone like talks like a dog, and it’s like… awill very painfwul for yuu.
KARA: What?
GUS: Yeah, that’s a dog talk.
KARA: How does that go?
JOEL: Wh-Wh-
GAVIN: Do an impression of a dog talking.
GUS: Why don’t you do it?
KARA: Why don’t you do it?
GAVIN: I just did it! That was it!
KARA: No.
GUS: Hold on, I have to hear it again.
GAVIN: I’m not doing that again.
GUS: You’re doing that again.
JOEL: Wh-What kind of dog is that?
KARA: Yeah, wh-wh-
JOEL: I-I’m…
GUS: Wh-What did you say, I didn’t even understand it.
GAVIN: That was- that was his uhh where he’s talking about what would happen if his mask
would come off.
GUS: Say it again.
GAVIN: I’m not doing it! I’m n-
GUS: Come on!
GAVIN: No way!
GUS: Well we gotta record it.
KARA: We’ll just play it on a loop.
GAVIN: It just kind of like sounded like “woofie”.
GUS: Yeah, “woofie”. What does that sound like?
GAVIN: So… Right, my question about Bane is this: ‘Member when the- really old crap Batman movies?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: It’s Bane- is that- is that the same guy, the who’s pumped with all the-
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: -the venom stuff.
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: Y’know it’s funny somebody, on FaceBook flashed actually forwarded a video article from the DVD extras section of one of those old movies? And they were talking about like… sort of what everyone else thought of Bane? And then they went to talk to Joel Schumacher who’s talking about Bane, and it was like… Joel Schumacher was coming from a completely different like place where basically like- Well Bane is just the muscle.
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: And he’s just really dumb. And that’s what he is.
GAVIN: Well that’s what he was in the other movie, he was just the henchmen guy-
GUS: Right.
GAVIN: -in this he’s like a- th-
GUS: He’s supposed to- I-I’m not a big comic book guy but from what I understand, he’s
supposed to be incredibly smart.
GAVIN: Oh, so he just dumbed him for the other movie?
GUS: Yeah, the other movie was like to- I mean, like Joel Schumacher.
GAVIN: With uhh-
JOEL: It’s amazing those old-
GAVIN: -George Clooney.
JOEL: - Those old Batman movies, they do not age well.
GUS: They’re very very very-
GAVIN: They’re just so colourful, they’re annoyingly like-
JOEL: Y-Yeah I remember the time-
GAVIN: -pinky green.
JOEL: -where it’s like…
GAVIN: The blue.
JOEL: N’yeaahh.
GAVIN: Eugh.
GUS: Even at the time I think people thought they were terrible.
JOEL: Yeeah.
GUS: I thought people liked the first one, they liked th-the- the the Tim Burton one.
JOEL: Yeah. W-Well it’s a weird thing where it’s like I’mma make a Batman movie, I’m gonna make it whimsical.It’s like, no don’t make a Batman movie whimsical. Th-that’s not what i-it’s about. It’s about…
KARA: It’s not a Disney movie, no.
GUS: It’s a comic book movie, I think people were just trying to figure out how to make comic book movies at that point.
JOEL: I g- I guess so. And they were like- tha-that’s the thing that has to be talked about,
because there’s definitely a fine line between… I think you have to respect the comics to some extent?
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: But it- d- someone who we know, who is really into comics was talking about how he
thought- I’m not sure if I can get into this, but thought one of the other characters would be
something else.
GUS: Mmhmm.
JOEL: Which would be more interesting…
GUS: Oh I see, yeah yeah.
JOEL: … preferring the comics.
GUS: Right.
JOEL: And uhm thought it was sort of dumbed down? Booooooooooooooooooooooo! Jack just walked in. Booooooooooooooooooooooooo!
KARA: Alright Jack-
JOEL: Booooooooooooooooooooooo!
KARA: -You get your spot.
GUS: J-Jack is gonna tag out with Kara. Thanks for joining us Kara, I’m glad we got a chance to meet-
KARA: Alright, later guys.
GUS: -you taking notes in the movie.
GAVIN: Bye.
JOEL: You guys have to high-five now.
GAVIN: Tag out.
JOEL: Now you’re just smacking-
JACK: Wow that was pretty good.
KARA: I give awesome high-fives.
JOEL: Yeah.
GUS: Thanks Kara.
KARA: Have fun.
JACK: Sh-She like gritted her teeth though, when she did it.
JOEL: Now you guys have’t’smack butts.
GUS: So we’re talking about the Dark Knight Rises, but in a non-spoiler fashion.
JACK: That’s difficult
JOEL: I think we’ve done a pretty good… job.
GUS: Yeah, we’ve done pretty good.
JACK: Okay so…
JOEL: There definitely needs to be fine line between respecting the comics and making it
accessible.
JACK: So what is the consensus on the movie so far?
GUS: I think we all agreed that it was good, but The Dark Knight was better.
JACK: Ok. Do we all agree that it was about 45 minutes too long?
GUS: Yes.
GAVIN: They’re all 45 minutes too long.
GUS: I think this movie was like what, 2 hours 45 minutes long.
JACK: It was really long.
JOEL: That didn’t bother me.
JACK: Yeah
JOEL: Just because anything that sort of changes up the formula a little bit I’m fine with, and it gave it a different sort of pacing or whatever which, that’s fine. Anything that’s different I like.
JACK: One of my problems I had with the movie that I don’t think it’s too spoilerific is that, there’s not enough Batman in it. Like it seems like Batman is gone for a long time.
GAVIN: It actually did feel that when it was towards the latter part of the movie when there was a lot of stuff going on, it cuts, like jump cut straight to Batman, I was like “Oh!”
(General Laughter)
JACK: Oh, there he is.
GAVIN: Hello
JOEL: This, is killing me that we can’t talk about stuff.
JACK: Yeah.
GAVIN: We should do a spoiler cast about…
JOEL: We were talking about last night, we were texting each other about how we should do a spoiler thing…
JACK: Yeah a spoilercast.
JOEL: … or talk about thing, we were all chomping at the bit to do that.
GUS: Yeah, I think Burnie wanted to be included, but he sent me a text at eleven o’clock saying “hey I can’t make it to the podcast”, so…
JACK: Oh Ok.
JOEL: And we were talking about two choices, Batman and Breaking Bad.
JACK: Well see ok, I argue Breaking Bad.
JOEL: I agree with you.
JACK: Ok.
JOEL: Because most people have not seen Batman yet.
JACK: No.
JOEL: Probably, and it’s going to take some time to digest it.
GUS: 160 million dollars worth of people saw Batman.
JOEL: But still, you know, still like a lot of people still may not have seen it, or maybe they want to see it twice or whatever.
JACK: Yeah
JOEL: But it’s like Breaking Bad, you’re still in it, you know because you can speculate on what’s going on.
JACK: See I want to talk about Breaking Bad like this week, like what already happened in this previous episode so we can talk about what happened this week, and then be like ok what do you think will happen next week.
JOEL: Yeah
JACK: The longer you wait the more…
GUS: Jack had a good idea for how to do it, maybe we’ll do it with an upcoming episode, there’s still several episodes left in the season.
JACK: There’s only six episodes left.
GUS: Is six several, I said several.
JACK: But still several I use for a whole season.
GUS: There are several episodes left, I am in no mood for shit today Jack, I already went over this.
JOEL: So like a couple episodes.
GAVIN: Have you seen Breaking Batman.
JACK: Breaking Batman, I have not seen Breaking Batman.
GUS: You missed Gavin talking in a dog’s voice.
JOEL: Go ahead, talk in a dog’s voice.
GUS: You’re gonna have to re listen …
GAVIN: Also like…
GUS: Say it
JACK: Go ahead, go ahead
GUS: Say something.
GAVIN: No it’s just that style of noise
JACK: YOU say something, I wanna hear you talk in a dog voice.
GUS: Your dog voice is amazing.
GAVIN: You should’ve been on time to the podcast.
JACK: I was finishing up my work.
GAVIN: OH dooin’ work ah?
JACK: I finished up what I was doing and then I joined the podcast, you walked out of the room and Geoff was like “Goddammit, I needed him to film something and he was like NOPE peace out and walked away.” You could have filmed something and helped Geoff out but no.
GAVIN: I’m gonna be here all day, what’s your problem.
JOEL: Were you gonna film something about a dog, that you the voiceover?
GAVIN: Ahh it was a thing…
GUS: you should do a let’s play in Minecraft just using your dog’s voice, and you should get a skin, are there any skins that make you look like a dog?
JACK: There is a cat
GAVIN: You can be Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie
JOEL: You and Michael did a video, uugh what the hell was that video.
GUS: Slenderman
JOEL: That was a funny video.
JACK: That was really funny
JOEL: and you assholes won’t finish the game
GAVIN: it was a scary game
JOEL: eeh eeh eeh scary game
JACK: Ok, next time we do that we need to film GAVIN playing, ‘cause GAVIN was all over that room, he was bouncing around.
GAVIN: It was scaring the absolute, guff out of me.
JACK: What is ‘Guff’, how much guff do you have in you.
GAVIN: Would you sit in a dark room, alone, knowing that there was no one within a mile of you, at night, playing that game
GUS: Did you, were you all playing in a dark room?
GAVIN: No, and it was still scary, that’s my point
JOEL: Well we should still absolutely do that now and film it probably
GAVIN: Do you get scared of stuff, I figure we’ll black it out, put a night vision camera on your face just to see.
JOEL: I generally get, have gotten scared of stuff yes
GAVIN: I got scared playing Fear
JOEL: You should make yourself scared of stuff because it’s more interesting.
GAVIN: No, it’s unpleasant.
JACK: Is there any way we can set up a computer in the annex and just darken everything?
GUS: Yeah, of course.
JACK: So that all you’re doing is just sitting there in the room by yourself
JOEL: The annex is scarier when it’s lit.
JACK: No, no
JOEL: have you seen the annex it’s the scariest looking building ever
GUS: did you see the photo that Chris tweeted yesterday? We had a, Brandon and I were trying to figure out how…
GAVIN: That looked like something out of world war two, what was going on?
GUS: …how we were gonna hang lights up on the rafters…
JOEL: uh huh
GUS: so we had to get on the scissor lift, we went up like 20 feet in the air or something, so and then we got a C-clamp and put it on the rafter and we thought well we need to put some weight on it so we got that giant wrench we had and hung it on the C-clamp and we thought well this is dangerous, we should put some head protection on so we got those Immersion army helmets and we were wearing them up there on the scissor lift under this giant wrench while looking up at the ceiling.
JOEL: that sounds like a disaster… you should definitely
GUS: Chris secretly took a photo and I look at it like, we look like fucking retards, we look so stupid up there.
GAVIN: Was it all three of you up there?
GUS: Yeah.
JOEL: See that should be…
GUS: I had never been on the scissor lift before
JOEL: … that should be part of the set.
GUS: It’s like, wavy
JACK: It moves
JOEL: Oh yeah it moves
GUS: We actually have people over there right now, we have volunteers over there ‘cause we didn’t want, ‘cause we’re having them sit there all day so they can adjust lighting around them it’s like stand-ins, so that we don’t have to pull anyone off of work like Gavin who wouldn’t just walk out on his job…So- so took out volunteers to go out there-
GAVIN: Do I have a stand in right now? I have a stand in?
GUS: You have a stand in.
GAVIN: Wow.
GUS: Who will stand there for eight hours while I light stuff around them.
JOEL: Do they know that we’re- this is not important enough to have stand ins?
JACK: Shhhh. Shhhh.
GUS: They don’t know.
JACK: Don’t tell them that. Wait, wait. So, are these volunteers like people-
GUS: Yeah.
JACK: -like friends of friends or something?
GUS: I think they were guardians.
JOEL: I am- I am sitting in this seat so some asshole can come sit in this seat later and say the word “boobs” for an hour. That’s pretty much-
GUS: So that some assholes can be in the other building talking about The Dark Knight Rises.
JACK: Yeah.
GUS: Talking about how they saw the movie early and-
JOEL: Like, the conversation they’re having over there is probably more topical and relevant than what we’re talking about over here.
GUS: You think so?
JACK: So-
JOEL: Probably.
JACK: So- so- are the doubles over there, are they like- do they- are they dressing up like us?
GUS: Just to clarify, they’re not doubles. They’re not like, impersonating us.
JOEL: Did you go and get like, a giant- like, bush, to stand in for Jack cause how are you gonna light that?
GUS: He trimmed his beard.
JACK: I trimmed it. It’s all clean now.
JOEL: It’s like; you need a tumbleweed with a pair of glasses.
GUS: Okay, how long did you go without trimming that beard?
JACK: Uh, probably about, almost eight months.
GUS: What?
JACK I mean, well I trimmed the sides but like the bottom I just let grow and grow. And the way it worked was like, I went to- I went to the- to get my hair-
JOEL Y’know when you had that-
JACK: Shut the fuck up.
JOEL: You looked like a-
JACK: I went to get my hair cut and I was like, okay I showed the woman a photo from like, probably four/five months ago so it was still long, but it wasn’t like, out of control and I was like, this is what I- what I want, I don’t want to get rid of all of it just y’know, trim it down a little bit. She goes, okay and like pulled out this razor and like [razor noise] and just killed all of it like in one shot and I was like, uh, oh, okay.
GAVIN: Did you say anything to her?
JACK: No. I can’t have her put it back on, it’s like-
JOEL: That’s a- you gotta write that down like a balance of like, if I insult them more then there’ll be more pay, yeah, you’ve just cut your losses and not insult them.
JACK: So, it’s short, I mean it looks- it’s clean and all, it’s nice.
GAVIN: Let me ask you-
JOEL: Y’- y’know when you get a pet, like an animal and you give the animal like a haircut?
JACK: No.
JOEL: And at the end of the haircut they just kind of look sad. Like, they look less of a person-
JACK: Other than a dog, what animal do you give haircuts to?
JOEL: I- I’m just- I can’t get over your- your face.
JACK: Deflection.
GUS: Subject change.
JOEL: You look like a Yorkshire terrier.
GAVIN: Why didn’t you shave your own damn beard?
JACK: Well, no, cause I went to get my haircut cause like they do- do it professionally and I would rather have a professional-
GAVIN: You need a professional to deal with your beard?
JACK: Yeah. Well, I might as well.
GUS: Did you see how unruly that beard was? I wouldn’t want to touch it either.
JACK: But it seems like, I can change the oil in my car but I would rather go take it somewhere people know what the fuck they’re doing.
GUS: But you don’t have to m- fucking worry about disposing of your beard hair afterwards.
JACK: Well, my beard hair’s pretty serious.
GUS: It’s a totally different thing, I’m with you up to a point.
JACK: Okay, but then they did bring out a bag that had the uh, biohazard symbol on it and put it all in there so.
GUS: Uh, I wanna mention, we’re doing a giveaway this week.
JACK: Oh we’re doing a giveaway?
GAVIN: To a listener?
JACK: You gave away- did you give away something last week?
GUS: Uhh, yeah, we did. We gave away the uh-
JACK: Marcus Fenix thing right?
GUS: Yeah, the Project Triforce stuff.
JACK: Those things were sick as hell.
JOEL: I mean, if you ever- I don’t know if you ever talked about some of the stuff we gave away at umm, RTX?
GUS: Uh-uh.
JOEL: But it’s like, that was amazing stuff.
GUS: So we gave away some more of that stuff last week.
JACK: They gave like, another snub pistol and stuff, right?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: Yeah, those-
GUS: And then two of the Marcus Fenix busts.
GAVIN: -replica guns were really awesome to hold.
GUS: This week however, we’re giving away something different.
JACK: Uh-oh.
GUS: We’re not giving away anymore of those. We’re gonna give away- or, I should say that GameMinder, whose sponsoring this podcast-
JOEL: Hey.
GUS: -is uh, giving away an Xbox 360, signed by the Rooster Teeth staff.
JACK: Oh cool.
GUS: And uh, the- y’know GameMinder will- was at RTX and you can hear them talk about RTX on their own podcast, who we will crush. Um, and uh, I’m still using that app, I don’t if uh, if you are.
JACK: Yeah, I- I used it yesterday as a matter of fact.
GUS: But uh, you can it helps remind you what the release dates for games are, and when games are available for pre-order, you can pre-order them directly through the app. And uh, get push notifications-
JOEL: Who do you pre-order through, anybody?
GUS: Yeah, I believe it goes through Amazon. And uh, you can get whichever app you want, it’s for uh, Android, IOS, uh, and you can get it from gameminder.com.
JACK: I used it yesterday to look up when Borderlands 2 was coming out.
GUS: I have a reminder set for that.
GAVIN: So, the way it works, what do you do? Pick the games you wanna know about and it’ll just push- push notifications-
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: -to your phone.
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: So it doesn’t notify you about every game?
GUS: Right.
GAVIN: Okay.
GUS: You can- and you can choose specific- you can filter by platform if you want and to find specific games, it’s like here, I’ve got five set up right there.
GAVIN: Oh, that’s awesome.
GUS: As you yawn.
JACK: You dick.
GUS: [imitates Gavin yawning while talking]
JACK: It is a really cool app-
GUS: Yeah.
JACK -and I definitely have made use of it.
GUS: Yeah like, I clicked on Halo 4 and there’s an Amazon link right there if you wanna buy it.
GAVIN: Oh, that’s awesome.
GUS: And then you can cancel your order. It’s pretty cool, so earlier I didn’t say, if you want to uh, to- to be- to have a chance to win the Xbox 360 uh, just send a tweet, with the hash tag gameminder360, gameminder360, altogether.
JACK: Are Rooster Teeth employees eligible for this?
GUS: Rooster Teeth employees are not eligible.
JACK: Damnit.
GUS: And the contest ends this Friday uh, at noon Texas time.
JACK: Noon Texas time, alright.
JOEL: Central time.
GUS: Yes, central.
JACK: Yeah, central standard time. Minus 6 GMT.
GUS: So uh-
JACK: IS that correct with daylight savings time?
GUS: I don’t know if it’s -5 or -6, that’s why I stopped saying it.
JACK: Okay.
GUS: So I just say Texas time.
GAVIN: Will it- do- does it actually change here? Cause you have to- the way it works is that we go from GMT 0 to GMT +1 in the summer.
GUS: Yeah, see that’s why I don’t know. Plus, also I think you all change your clock at a different time than we change our clock.
GAVIN: Yeah, there’s like a- I think there’s a week long period where Texas is only five hours behind England and then the next week it’s six hours.
JACK: Is it- is that the fifty-two hour day you were talking about?
GAVIN: Shut up Jack.
GUS: When I went to MCM in October, that’s when the UK set their clocks an hour back.
GAVIN: Right.
GUS: Then I came back to the United States and we hadn’t set it and like two days later, we had to change it again, I was like, stop fucking with me!
JOEL: Yeah, it’s a huge pain in the ass.
JACK: Have we talked about Gavin asking what time it was in space?
GUS: No we have not.
JACK: Oh, oh my god.
GAVIN: It’s a valid question, everyone’s going crazy. It- the international space station, there’s people on there who have to know what time it is.
JACK: We had- we had the-
GAVIN: Which time zone do they take their time from? It’s just- it’s an actual question.
JACK: No, that’s not what you said. So we had dinner the other night and we were talking about the international space station and Gavin, straight up, strai- y’know, completely serious said, well what time is it in space? And everyone at the table kinda stopped and looked at him and was like, wow, you are really that dumb and now he’s trying to say, oh what time is it- what time zone is it? And it’s like, no, no, that’s not what you said.
GAVIN: We were talking specifically about the ISS so I asked what time is it, in space.
JACK: Yes, that’s exactly what you said.
GUS: I’m sure- time is relative to where you are on Earth, so I’m sure they just pick a time zone, probably GMT and then they stick with that.
GAVIN: Yeah?
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: Thanks for your answer Gus.
GUS: There you go.
GAVIN: I appreciate it.
GUS: As- as for the rest of space, I don’t know. I don’t know what time it is on Mars, I don’t know what time it is on the fucking Soyuz fucking shuttle is it- or capsule as it’s going back to ISS. But I can tell you, on the ISS, it’s probably GMT. So, when you’re back in England, you’re on ISS time. When the fuck are you leaving?
JACK: Why d’you come back?
GAVIN: I left for a long time.
JACK: You ditched everyone at RTX, you didn’t wanna go, you clearly hated RTX, I’m sorry Gus, that Gavin hated RTX so much-
GUS: That’s okay.
JACK: -that he wouldn’t go to it.
GUS: Burnie told the story about your dick touching a urinal.
JACK: That is true.
GAVIN: That-
JOEL: That probably more than made up for-
GAVIN: That- that was a bad time. Imma wait till Burnie’s on to talk about that again.
JACK: So you were legitimately pissed off at Burnie when he did that.
GAVIN: My genitals bonged into the- in the cold, metal, pissy surface of a urinal.
JACK & GUS: Urinal.
GUS: Can you get an STD like that?
JACK: I hope.
GAVIN: You ab- probably, absolutely can! If someone’s like, spunks some chlamydia up the side of it.
JACK: Were you- were you still urinating when it touched.
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Aww, did you- did it like spray all over you?
JOEL: Did you get backsplash?
GAVIN: The thing is-
JOEL: How do you justify that in your mind?
GAVIN: The thing is, I don’t know how you pee when your, y’know peeing into one of those trough things but I was looking down at- at my gentlemen and I was looking at it, peeing, and then all of a sudden I get like, kicked in the arse so I go flying forwards and I’m like, aw, I’m gonna bang my face! Cause I’m holding my jenny’s-
JACK: Okay, so you’re- you use two hands to hold yours when you pee?
GAVIN: I think because I don’t go through the fly, one was holding down my jeans and the other was holding my-
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: -like, my aim so-
GUS: Okay.
GAVIN: -I was like, dual-wielding.
GUS: You were dual-wielding.
GAVIN: I got kicked forward and my face is about to hit the wall. So I’m like, ooh, and I lent back.
GUS: You went in dick first into the wall?
GAVIN: And my John Thomas just goes gink.
GUS: Did it make a noise?
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: Ugh.
GAVIN: It was like- it was like one of those- imagine a piece of metal was thin enough where if you pushed it, it would be like [noise].
GUS: Yeah.
GAVIN: It did that and it was like, it rattled too.
JACK: So was there anyone else next to you like at the urinal?
GAVIN: Not at that point.
JACK: Okay.
GAVIN: And then um, Burnie came out like tears down his face laughing and then we went, the bathroom was literally opposite our booth so, everyone watched us go in there together-
JACK: Nice.
GAVIN: -and they watched him come out like, tearing with laughter and me, just like, I need to wash my penis.
GUS: Did you go back to your room and like, take a dick shower or something?
GAVIN: I showered thoroughly that night.
JACK: A dick shower.
GAVIN: But I had to sit there all day with a bloody- I dunno, a-
JACK: Don’t- don’t say bloody. Don’t use that term when your describing your penis.
GAVIN: There wasn’t- there was no blood, thankfully.
JACK: Okay. That’s fucking hilarious.
JOEL: I’m . . . derailed.
JACK: We’ve broken Joel.
JOEL: I’m derailed, I’m-
JACK: Joel, what is in that- that Starbucks cup that you always have with you at all times.
JOEL: Um, tea.
JACK: Are you sure?
JOEL: Yeah. Y’know what I do, is I order tea in the morning, and then we go out to lunch or whatever and then I get sweet tea and then I bring the sweet tea and I put it in the thing with the tea so it’s like double tea.
JACK: But its like- it’s like green, nasty tea or something now.
GUS: Green tea’s not nasty.
JOEL: It’s tea.
JACK: No, but I’m not saying green teas that, I’m saying whatever he has in there is nasty.
GUS: It’s green tea.
JACK: I dunno. No, there’s more to it than that.
JOEL: Jack is working too hard.
GUS: Did you put beer in there?
JOEL: Jack- No, I shou- I should.
GUS: Oh, man.
JOEL: I should put beer.
GUS: So, at RTX, people gave me a ton of liquor so I’ve been drinking like hardcore every night trying to get through it. Uh, someone gave me this- this- this bottle of moonshine called Old Smokey. And it has like, maraschino cherries in it and its super red.
JOEL: That sounds awesome.
GUS: And it may be the best thing I’ve ever drank in my life.
JOEL: Bring some of it in.
GUS: I drank it all.
JOEL: Oh you fucker.
GUS: I can’t find anymore in Austin, I’ll have to find a place- somewhere online.
GAVIN: Is it the sort of stuff where it just glides down, it doesn’t even feel like you’re drinking anything.
GUS: Yeah, it’s like sugary sweet, like you add it to any soda and it’ll be like, a cherry Coke-
GAVIN: Yeah.
GUS: -or a cherry Sprite.
JACK: That’s cool.
GUS: And uh-
JOEL: That is cool. I wish we could have some.
GUS: No!
JACK: Ole Smokey is what it’s called?
GUS: Yeah, um-
GAVIN: Who gave you that?
