Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hello, and welcome to water Cooler. Yeah, you know what
Chris is in here? It's so quiet. Wouldn't it be
great if the show just started and Chris just started talking.
That would have been the real move here. But Chris
alast Chris Oxamana is not with us at the moment,
but he will be with us before the show is out.
I Gary, this is the show where I Gary Smith,
hang out with my Corolla buds of yesteryear and just
(00:34):
generally my buds with me today all the way in
Long Beach, California, It's kaylen Bean. What's going on? I
don't know? You tell me what? Were you just staring
off and had an awkward pause for it where you
didn't acknowledge me.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, I was. I was fixing my microphone. Oh okaych
just up and down at the moment, so to increase
my hearing, I had to look under.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, Well, there's a lot of unpacked there, and I
think we'll have to get to it. Introduce the other
person who is with me today, with me today all
the way in Austin, Texas. It's Matt Fondelier. Hey brother,
Hey brother, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm doing really good? Man? Excited to talk to you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is your mic right side up?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I think so? I'm not sure how one would upside out?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'd do it. I attached to this stand that this
arm that you see it on about three years ago,
and it's never been upside down ever once in my
entire life. So Caitlyn, explain yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Boy, Well, let me first just say I am very
jelly of your setup. I wish I had something like
that going on. But I have this stand that Chris
gave me on like my last day at Crolla Digital.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Even your stands are owned by somebody else.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You Chris gave it to me. I think he gave
me the microphone too. He gave me both of them.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And what percentage of the things that you interact with
on a day to day basis, would you say you've
had any part in paying.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
For aside from work stuff, which actually this might be
the exception, like pretty much pretty much zero. I mean
all my clothes I get for free, all my subscriptions ago, Yeah,
it's it's mostly yeah, if I don't have to pay
for like why, Look.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm not hating on you, I'm yes, we make light
of it, and we make jokes, but you're really killing
the game. I spend money like a fucking lunatic, and
I'm always that it's not a fun way to live.
So I think that you're doing it right. I'm jealous,
but yeah, so is this?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Like with with the free stuff comes annoyances like this
microphone stand that Chris was so nice enough to donate
to me. But I have to break it down and
set it back up every single time I do a podcast,
and it's almost broken at this point, like it's it
takes me like five minutes just to screw in this
top piece because it doesn't screw in right. But that
it's even more embarrassing that the setting it up upside
(02:45):
down was actually a very easy fix and I could
probably just because it just yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Put it right side up. Oh look at this. Oh
he's floor.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
We saw it live. Talen's mike is inverted. There we go, okay,
all right right side of Kalen has joined the podcast.
Welcome too.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Bad Dawson isn't here right now, because he would really
have a lot to say about this.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't interrupt us to get it
in there. So, how you guys been what's been going on?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You know, I have been out here gigging, as they say,
you know, going from one gig to the next, trying
to make a life for myself out here working on
a project that I can't talk really that specifically about.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh fantastic, Thanks for stributing.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I ask you a question, I'm gonna fucking answer you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Oh you're not gonna answer it. And that's the whole
point of this.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I was just gonna say, tomorrow, we're gonna be doing
some filming, so it's gonna be very busy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And what will your role be in that filming? Will
you be observing and contributing ideas or will you be
actually somehow physically involved in the actual execution of the shoot.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I am running the motherfucking show.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh so you're like directing over here.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I'm directing people.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I've set everything up, I got everything scheduled, knock on wood.
Everything goes mostly according to plan. But you know, it's
one of those things where in productions, Well thanks for that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Keep that in mind. Yeah, but the magic is in
when it doesn't go to plan. So yeah, you got
to you learn to embrace that. I mean, you you
make all the decisions you can. You plan as much
as you can, and then you just have to be
present and you know, just roll with the punches, as
they say, when they when they inevitably do come, because
they will come. Calan's right about that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, Yeah, that's kind of like you got to prepare
yourself for you know that that to happen, because most
likely it will happen. So when you know that going
into it, it's not going to catch you off guard.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. I mean, I feel like I've heard a lot
of actors and or people who do acting and directing
sort of talk about you know that that's really what
makes a good director is the ability to improvise and
to roll with it. When something inevitably goes wrong that
can't be fixed, you just have to figure out your
way around it. So you're giving your skill set, Matt.
You basically did that for many, many years and you
(05:05):
became very adept at it. So I think that you'll
be very well suited for this role. I'm excited for you, Matt.
I can't wait until you can tell us more about it. Yeah, Kaylen,
anything going on in your life you can't talk about, Matt.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Can you push your microphone to the right a little bit.
It's kind of blocking half your face.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Just there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just for the video where we go.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I want to see this.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
We do want to see that point on Matt all right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I had a fun day over the weekend. So my
neighbors throw a kind of like summer party for the kids.
They get a big water slide, a couple like two
and then like a water pool. They had the little
uh you know, the bowl. You ride the bowl around
and has the big inflatable ones. If you fall off,
you're fine. But the whole kind of block comes and
all the kids come and that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And that's the question. Does the does the bull or
does the bull? Because there's a summer party, I'm wondering,
are you just falling onto like an inflatable surface or
are you falling into like a little waiting pool.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, you're falling onto an inflatable inflatable surface. Not it's
not water.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Did we did we get on there, Kaylin and father
of two and ride this ball?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I did? Yeah. I got on because my little one
was a little afraid to go on by herself at first,
so I got on with her, showed her how I
was done, and then she was able to ride it
by herself. After that, you can, you know, one of
us controls it so you can make it go really
fucking slow. And that was towards the end. I was
fucking spinning that pitch and both my kids were staying
on so that was fun. But by towards the end
(06:30):
of the night, I had a couple of drinks in
me and I was getting a bit chatty, and I
discovered that one of my neighbors is a hell Diver.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh hell yeah sos remember fresh Yeah yeah, So Hell
Divers two is maybe the greatest video game that's ever
come out in the last let's settle down a little
bit there.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Two years, I said two years, I said two years.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, okay. Still.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So it's a multiplayer game. You're a team of four
and you it's Starship Troopers. That's pretty much exactly what
the Starship Troopers imagine that. It's that in the video game,
you're playing the teammates to kill all the bugs, although
you can also kill like terminators and they have like
alien covenant type faction. But yeah, I don't I don't
have anyone to play the game with, which is fine.
(07:22):
You know, I'll play the randos and that's great. But yeah,
I discovered that my neighbor is a hell Diver, and
so we spent a good chunk of time not only
talking about the game, but promoting it to everybody else
that was around us. Who I mean, they seemed entoosed
about it, but they were probably pretty sick of hearing
about it after about fifteen minutes, and then the conversation
would go somewhere else, and then I'd turned to him
(07:43):
and ask him a game related question. There we'd go
for another like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So now I would like to know how this actually
came about. But in my mind, I'm picturing you walking
through your neighborhood with your daughters and then all of
a sudden, you get a glimpse out of the corner
of your eye through the window on the television screen.
Your neighbor's playing Hell Divers.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You push your daughters out of the way, pound on
the front door, let yourself in.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
We need to fight for liberty, and yeah, yeah, I
wish that was something like that. I honestly, I don't
even remember how the discussion came up.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So what you're saying is my scenario could have happened.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, not only that, but I did bust out the
PlayStation last week, so I had it last week and
I was playing the game a little bit too much.
So right after I found out that I finally have
someone to play with, I got a lot of work
I've had to do this week. I had to immediately
take the PlayStation throw it back into storage. So pretty
much like the next day, I was like, great, let's play,
but not yet. I gotta wait until I can get
it out of storage again.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So damn.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That was really fun. But if that wasn't good enough,
I found out that my other neighbor down the street
is a like horror movie junkie fucking loves horror movies. Now,
he hasn't seen quite as many as Matt and myself,
but it was really fun recommending new ones to him.
You know, I knew that getting into a beautiful friendship guy,
(09:01):
I think. So he asked like, what are some really good,
you know, horror movies I may not know about? And
I threw out terrified to him, and he had seen
that one, so I knew that he could hang after
he saw that one. But there was still a lot
of others that I was able to recommend to him.
He hasn't text me about watching any of them yet,
but it's fun. So I got another new horror buddy
(09:23):
to I'll probably be recommending movies to him because I've
seen a lot more of them. But still, it's fun.
I like doing that. I like I like showing people
new movies that they haven't seen yet. So I gave
him about five movies to watch and told them to
check back in with me after I log them some more.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Hell yeah, well, before we get too far away from
from PlayStation, I have a question. It's actually kind of
like a tech talk, so Gary, you might be able
to chime in here. But I saw a headline that
they're coming out with the PlayStation six, like really soon
within the next couples bullshit?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, because I mean, wait on, hold on what wait,
hold on a second, the next couple of years might
not be bullshit.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Like before twenty twenty cent of.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The Eggain, No, that's that's that's bull show. I feel
like I would have heard this new leak. They would
have done a big announcement, right, Gary, there.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Was a leak that leaks bullshit?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
All right? Good?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Because uh fucking GTA six hasn't even motherfucking come out yet,
So what what are we talking about here?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
How can that? Well, I believe possibly be.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'd have to look at the actual dates, but I
believe it's has not yet been a year since they
released the PS five Pro. So if you go back
and you look at the lifestyles of the old systems,
what happens is the PlayStation four will come out, then
a PlayStation four Pro comes out, and then there's several
years of that life cycle before they start to get
prepared for THEE the PSI five and in this case,
(10:55):
the same thing. You know, the PS five Pro just
came out, so they're going to let that live for
a few more year years at least, But I would
I would put it somewhere more towards the end of
this decade before we would get another whole wholesale, brand
new system.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
From your Lips to God's Ears.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, I think I remember they released the five around
like noved. They'd like to release them like right before Christmas? Right,
it was in October November November twenty Yeah, November twenty
twenty seven, maybe, but I believe like twenty twenty eight
would be more likely.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I agree, I tend to agree. I don't. I don't
see it coming out next calendar year. That just seems
absurd to me. I don't think that's gonna happen. So
are you? Are we good on PlayStation talk? Can I
bring up another subject? Are you more make it about PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Unless you've got some unless you've got some very hard
hitting God of War questions for us?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, I have actually been playing God of War, that's right.
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I don't really get shook by many things in games,
nothing too scary, but they there is. I know you
guys are gonna know what I'm talking about. A gigantic
like serpent snake creature in the God of War game.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
And there have been.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Several scenes and I'm still early on in the game
where we're just talking like nothing's really going on, but
just the size and scope of that character compared to
the characters that you're playing, it is actually triggered some
weird like caveman thing inside of me as I'm playing,
where it's legitimately like I kind of have to look
away from the screen sometimes it is really really scary
(12:30):
and the shit out of me. And I don't even
think that I have a problem with snakes. But there's
something about up Gary's left. Gary's left his doors open.
There are ghosts in his house?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Was that a ghost? Gary?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I forgot that I one of my cats eats in
the bathroom, and I forgot that I had left him
in there, and sanitary felt very badly. Yeah, it is
on sanasary. But what are you gonna do? All right?
So not a God of war question, but I had
an interesting experience this weekend, and I would like to
get your thoughts unless you have more to say about
(13:04):
the giant serpent, Matt. It's scary, it is scary.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It's great though.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So a couple of weeks ago, I placed an order
for a bunch of custom frames. You know, you go
to Michael's or whatever and you give them your pictures
and they'll they'll make them up for you, you know.
So when I did this, the guy told me probably
be done in about two weeks, and I said, okay,
And I looked at the paperwork that he had gave me,
and the paperwork promised it by three weeks. But I figure,
(13:33):
this guy knows what their inventory is like, he knows
what their workload, their jobs are, So I waited a
little over two weeks and I called to see if
my order was ready. I called on a Sunday because
these are things that I'm taking to my office and
I one of them is for me and the other
two are for coworkers, and I wanted to pick them
up and take them in on Monday if they were ready.
(13:54):
So I call on Sunday. I said, I want to
check on the status of my framing order. And they said, okay,
what's your last name? And I said Smith and they
said okay, hold on. He put me on hold and
they got back on the line and they go, Yep,
they're ready, And I'm oh, great, no one called me,
but they're ready for pickup. Yep, okay. So I get
in my car and I drive over to the Michaels,
(14:16):
which is not, you know, a thirty minute drive, but
it's fifteen minutes or something like that. So I drive
over there, I walk in, I walk up to the
framing counter. I finally the kid. He's in the back
working on something. I said, hey, can you help me
with a frame pickup? And he went, yes, I can.
I'll be right there, and then he comes out and
as he's walking through the door, to greet me at
the counter. He goes last name Smith and I yes,
(14:38):
it is and he goes first name Leslie, and I
cocked my head and went no, and he looked down.
He looked back up at me and he went, you
sure it's not Leslie? And I went, yeah, sir, I'm
pretty certain that this six foot five man standing in
front of you, it's pretty unlikely that he would be
named Leslie. And he was like, oh, well, they just
(15:01):
told me the last name. I figured you were Leslie.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And I went, now, he's just doing his inner monologue out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, I went, I am not. And he looked at
it and he looks down at his paper and he goes,
what's your first name? And I went Gary, and he
went do you know what.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
He want named Leslie?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
The guy's doing a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I went, sir, even if I did, you got to
stop with the Leslie. This kid he was like twenty
six years old. Whether or not he was high, I
will leave to the imagination. But he works in a
framing shop, so I mean, you know, uh. And we
did this hole back and forth and he finally goes,
you said Gary, right, and I said yeah, and he said,
(15:45):
do the frames have anything to do with Los Angeles
and I said yeah, and he said, oh yeah, those
aren't ready, and I went okay, okay man, and he
was like, let me check if I have if I've
gotten the material for him, and he checks and he goes, yeah, okay,
I've got the materials. I know we promised it by
like next weekend, but you can probably call him like
(16:06):
Wednesday and they'll be ready. I was like, okay, He's
like sorry. I said, you know, not the end of
the world, and I left. What do you guys think
about this? When I call in with the literally the
world's most generic last name, should there maybe have been
a follow up of like first initial or something.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I totally agree it should have been his responsibility, but
I will also say that you could have said it
if you have experienced something that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, no, I'm not saying that. I am not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
As you started this story, I saw where this was going.
I go, smith, very generic last name. This is obviously
going to be a mix up.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Someone with a very ungineeroings.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Am I just the dumb ass? Or there are guys
named Leslie?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
There are right, there are Leslie Nilson.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But I mean after I said no the first time,
he needed to stop the leslie.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And also, like you said, this dude was probably baked
off his ass.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, so would not shock.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe that maybe not asking for the first initial, which
he should have done, maybe he slipped his mind, maybe
he was a little well, it wasn't him.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It wasn't him who asked for the initial, because I
spoke to a woman on the phone. She should have whatever,
it's not a There was faults by all people, but
somebody who would have no way of relating to this
story was like.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'd go, like eighty twenty, they're full.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, they're their fault, but yeah, well yeah, I might
put it in ninety ten because they didn't ask me
for my full name. They specifically said, what's your last name?
But whatever. Nonetheless, Chris Loximmana has one of the more
exotic last names and probably could not relate at all
to this story. I am telling about a mix up
with my last name at a framing shop. But here
he is all the way in Long Each, California. It's
(17:42):
Chris Losamana. I mean the framing shop.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Wow, what a fucking in Yeah, you missed, you missed
the Michaels story Chris a banger. I had to give
it a little extra, I doubt earlier, earlier in the episode,
and so it was very quiet. Yeah, that went dedicated
to Joya. Came in right at the perfect time. The
(18:18):
framing shop, Michaels.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Dude, this conversation.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Man, I love me some Michaels. Yeah, you know, go
there Joanne's. I think Johann's is going out of business. Yeah,
they're closing, baby good d I hate I hate that.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I don't know why. I love me and Michael's. Joanne's
is like, I don't know, I've had some bad experiences.
It's well known, much fabric. It is well known in
my household that you will not be sending me on
an errand to a Joanne's. People just know Gary's not
going no no, you asked Joya what you can frame
it as vaguely as can you name a store that
(18:57):
Gary refuses to go to, and she would coming straight
out of the gate without thinking twice about it.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Joe Ans, well, I love me some Michaels. You know,
look see which you will about me. But I like
some crafts. I like a little craft action making stuff
out of balsa wood fabric good sales there too.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh, very you always find a coupon you.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Guys, hit those those Christmas sales three days after Christmas,
Matt I was.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Gonna say, Michael's is that's like holiday time for me.
We're going for haunted House carnival miniature figures for our
little village, your little Christmas village.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And yeah, right after the holiday, that's the best time
to go. Everyone knows that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
And Gary, you're getting stuff framed right now? What are
you framing? What are you putting on display?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Something related to Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
I heard, Yeah, covers. I oh, just like your magazine covers.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, I have one in my office from the first
issue that I was fully involved in. And then we
created another really cool cover. I can actually show you, guys.
It's this one right here that is really cool. And
so I had this one blown up and framed because
the one, the first one that I made, which was
kind of the first issue that I was fully involved in,
(20:11):
has my name in and everything. I blew that up
because that just sort of seemed to make sense. Everyone
has covers in their office, and I figured from my
first one I wanted to get it framed really nice,
and it turned out so good that I knew I
was going to get at least one, if not maybe
two more over the course of time to fill out
the wall because it's a big wall, and this one
(20:32):
turned out really good, and I was involved in helping
make it. So I had that blown up. And when
I announced I was doing that, two other people in
my office are like me too. And I was like,
it's not free and I'm not paying for it, and
they were like, I don't care, we'll pay you back.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I was like, all right, fine, framing stuff is weirdly
pricier than I thought.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Matt used to frame a lot of stuff well in
the day. I got to be honest with you, though,
like it's also not as bad as you think. Like
I got this thing blown up to about two and
a half feet tall and almost you know, a little
under two feet wide, so and then there's matting, and
then there's you know, the frame itself and the glass.
So you're talking about something that's you know, three feet
(21:10):
by two feet when you're all said and done, under
two hundred and fifty dollars. Not that bad. That's too
much to frame something. I think that's for a frame,
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Even with the Mad it was a nice frame with.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's nice you need the Mad? Yeah, okay, it's nice
real glass.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, that does sound high. That does sound high though, Well,
how much did you say, sorry, how much did you
say it was?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It's a little under two hundred and fifty, but it
does sound high until way more until you get the
bill from Michael's where Michael's does this thing where in
order to make it feel like you're getting a discount,
they charge you, you know, two hundred and thirty five
bucks or whatever it is. And then you get the
receipt and the receipt says that it really was supposed
to cost seven hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
How much exactly?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
How much is an issue of La mag free for me? Free?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Gary, you're getting a little like maybe either your fan
or something on your mic. You're sounding a little, uh,
a little crispy.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Seven ninety nine is the news stand price. Yeah, see,
it's a hot day, foreign Matt. It's hot over here.
We're dealing we're dealing with heat. Let the man have
a fan on.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
But yeah, poor audience though, is it still there?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Kalin's screen is gonna give me a seizure. Every every day.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I see it. It's ceilings just flashing. It's like a yeah,
it's okay, Chris.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'd advise you record on your end. I just had
an unstable internet. It's notification, all right, no problem, can
do trick or groove.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Uh anyway, Look, I'm I am glad that they wait,
what do they do with their last name?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
So I called the framing place to see if my
stuff was done, and they just.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Listened to the episode. Chris, all right, I don't want
to hear this story.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Please everybody already that that's why.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Don't to come in halfway. That doesn't matter. I'm going,
Hey man, I'm gonna be going to Austin. Oh really
yeah next month for okay, cool days. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
This is what it's like when people tell friends that
they're going to be in her city.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sure, with our heads up, Notice.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What's the occasion for work?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Work trip? You know?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But you're gonna have some downtime.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I'm in the area, doubt it, but you know, I
just want to let you know we're going to be
there regardless.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But we'll see.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I'll keep you updated once the a tent the ten
is set, all right, cool, I get shortened itinerary right,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Other right, Sure, I knew what you meant by.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
The way, Matt. Look, I've been complimenting Matt. His framing skills.
His itinerary skills are second and none too. I miss
I missed seeing those gets sent over to me.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah that was back in the day.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, Look, we got a lot of stuff to
get into.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I got I got a an update from a bust
and makes me feel good. Where last we heard I
was in Philadelphia?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
And what a journey we've been on.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Look, man, it's this This segments longer than the actual trip.
But that's fine. But I, uh, my next stop is Bismarck,
North Dakota. So we went from Philly to Bismarck, And yeah, why.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Don't we that seems like a lot of terrain to
cover when we.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Hear a little yeah, I don't know. I feel like
I'm an unreliable narrator in this uh throughout my journal,
like I just like, who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Why is his? Why is his? Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Where's entries? Just so all over the place? Like his
writing is pretty basic. B But you know, I was
having fun. Maybe I was having too much fun. I
didn't really care to keep a journal that much. So
for those who are, for those who are keeping a
journal or a diary of some sort, give it a
little more thought, because it is fun to look back
(24:50):
and uh and read who you were. All right, let's
do a little little sege makes me feel good, all right.
So it's starts off with a quote, look at me,
I'm go see with this the word quote in dictionary.
(25:13):
In the dictionary, now it says quote, I can, but
I don't know what it's gonna look like. And that
is a quote by James from the Space Aliens restaurant
in response to me ordering a pizza without cheese.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I can, but I don't know what it's gonna look like.
All right.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
So this is June twenty third, a Sunday in two
thousand and six. I went to eat at Space Aliens
on a whim after Trevor saw a sign on the highway.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh you know it's gonna be good if it has
a highway sign.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, Actually, you know it's gonna be good. Trevor is
the one who's making the call.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Every state kind of has like those those alien themes,
like jerky and restaurants and whatever, so mark no different.
I don't know if it's still there, but I even
drew it. I'll show you the drawing in a sec.
It says James was our server, nice and laid back.
The entire menu claimed to be the best in the universe.
(26:16):
Lots of alien paraphernalia while watching Nascar in room area
fifty one. So they had a room called Air fifty one.
They playing some Nascar there. The place was run by
people our age and twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They're all twenty. Then it's probably not still there.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Yeah, the place was run by people our age, and
the cooks were stoked on the bus asking me if
we smoke and drink. But I'm not that dank. I
still say dank, so sure, why not. The outside had
a space alien themed painting or mural all the way
(26:58):
around the building.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It's definitely an interesting experience and.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
A good way to see what Bismarck had to offer
earthlings Welcome. And then I drew it on the bottom
there and if you could see it, oh yeah, yeah,
So so.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
That was a you know, I know, you probably don't
because it's just whatever you just read.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
But was this the site of an alien landing? And
that's why they built a little thing there.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I highly doubt it. Okay, that's a good. That's a good.
We need to play a Newsnook intro for this.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, I feel like there's been a couple of sightings
in North Dakota. Yeah, like I've heard of that a
couple of times coming through all my alien stories in
the past.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I did rank it in my restaurant chart.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh, let's see, let's hear.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Space Aliens Grill and Bar and Space Aliens Grill and Bar, Bismarck,
North Dakota. Six out of ten. Really funny atmosphere. It's
like Chuck E Cheese, but not the build your own
pizza Bomby barbecue sauce though. All right, there you go
and just uh and I'll go back a couple of
(28:04):
restaurants here too. There's a place called Amsterdam in Washington,
d C. That had a Falaffa buffet nine out of
ten amazing. And then mister Chen's Organic also in DC.
Really awesome tofu dishes. Wow, I was wrong, Space Aliens
is still around.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Gave that a ten? Wow? What god on?
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yelp, Let's see this is this is how I gave it,
So that's like a three out of five. You were
in Bismarck. There's three locations. You were in Bismarck.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, damn, Bismarck.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They've expanded.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Space aliens. What up? If you're hearing this podcast? Good memories, man,
Good memories, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What if they were to blast an episode of Water
Cooler into actual space?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Oh? I'm not done with them. I'm not done with
North Dakota. By the way, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I feel like we already heard everything I had to offer?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Your words the next page, still in North Dakota. I
have another quote quote attention, no doing that off the
low dive. I'm not even kidding. And that was a
girl on the loudspeaker at the public pool. We went
to a public pool after skating to the skate park
at Lions Park. Two dollars for the pool and five
(29:17):
dollars for the pool and some water slide action.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
A water slide, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I paid the water slide inside, I paid the two dollars.
Still a good time. Nonetheless, these two little kids were
doing the funniest dives. Great temperature for the water and
the showers. So do you want to check their yelp scores?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Three point four out of three point four out of
five for sweeze Alien.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I guess that's not bad for a fucking roadside cafe.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It wasn't. And uh, James is still there? What up James.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Good temperature for the water, it's that great tempture for
the water and showers definitely what we needed. Pools are
definitely a key element to raised morale on this trip.
And then I drew a skate the skate park that
we skated to, so I was thinking about, like, yeah,
just morale, morale on these trips. You're stuck in such
(30:11):
close quarters with guys for that long, you're gonna get
on each other's nerves and you need to you need
to boost the energy up. Another thing that we did
to boose energy up was go to Target. We freaking
loved going to Target. The reason being was they had
like they're just reliable bathrooms that you can go and
(30:32):
brush teeth, shave like ivans.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, and like everyone just come.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
It was like spacious sitting out there, clean enough to
where if we all just if all sixteen of us
just rolled into a Target, we could all use the
bathroom and like and feel a little more refreshed. So
I remember whenever we were like thinking, Okay, where do
you guys want to go next? And we would go
throw a Target the place. The bus would just go nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Like yes, let's go to Target, and.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, we would go off to Target. I still kind
of feel that way when I go so but yeah,
Target definitely good hotspot. Another another trick that people that
we did not on this trip but a future trip
was if you sign up for like a twenty four
hour fitness and then you just get a gym pass
and you can just go to all the twenty four
fittests in the country and just go get ticket, take
(31:20):
a real nice shower in like the locker room. So, look,
I got vagrant tips.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I mean, if I was.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In the GYP membership, is you can get a little price. Yeah,
it's a little.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Well klan, I'm look, I'm pretty rich, Okay, So like
my idea of a vagrant still could afford a gym membership. Okay,
I don't really know the cost of anything these days.
The would I do think about like if I had
to be homeless, if I I would do everything I
could just to keep up with my appearance so I
could walk into hotels and stores without being bothered, right,
(31:55):
just all we have to do is just keep up
the appearance and not look like because people kind of
freaked out if.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But if you were homeless, why would you be walking
into a hotel or a fucking.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I thought that's what the I thought, that's what the
gym membership was for.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No, I was kidding, you can't get.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Home.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Oh gosh, dude. Yeah, I'm just gonna be super freaking buff.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I think your your theory is strong.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
But at a certain point, if you're homeless, you're not
doing laundry, and you're also not walking around with like
three hundred and sixty five outfits. You got maybe a
place where you're storing a couple extra shirts if you're
gonna look pretty grimy after a while.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I'm aware, I'm aware. It's it's just uh, it was
just uh an idea I had, Like, I wonder what
would I what would I have to do to keep
the the appearance? Oh, got one more restaurant here to rate?
Planet Hollywood and Times Square in New York.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Classic is that still open?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Eight out of ten? Awesome?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Veggie Burger really expensive. So the the reason we went there,
we we were all in New York. It might be
coming up in a journals soon. But I remember it
was just it was someone's birthday, and we're like, let's
wherever you want. We were in the Food Capital of
the World or yeah, that's I would say, that's a
food capital.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Of the world.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Right, it's just like everything in New York food capital
of the world. Let's just go wherever you want to go.
I'm like, Matt, I mean, if I offer that to you,
you be you. We open up that Michelin our guy
right now and yeah and uh and pick or zagut.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
No are you buying? Who's payned? You know?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It doesn't matter, well it does, it depends, actually does matter.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
It's your birthday, so you're all right, So we're going,
We're going Machelin baby my buddy Jason's birthday, and we're like,
where do we go? And he goes playing a Hollywood
in Times Square and we're just like, dude, we're from
l A, Like why are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Like, yeah, they have like.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
These fruit loop fruit loop crusted fried chicken and I
love that. I was disgusting and it was such a
bummer that we ought to go to the Plan Hollywood
and Times Square.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
But man held of Veggieburger.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
I heard hell of Vegeburger pretty expensive. It is pricey.
I mean it's a course trap over there. So it's
Time Square enjoyable for you guys. It's still pretty fun,
right I've been.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I've only been one time actually, and uh it was
a very intense, uh like energy there. My friend was
working at a theater that was kind of like off Broadway,
so I would hang out with him while he was working,
and then afterwards we would just walk down Times Square
and it was just it was a scene.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Man, it was fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
And then he lived in like I want to say,
Astoria or some just some one of the like kind
of neighborhoods outside of New York, quite quite a long
subway train away, and as soon as we would get
closer to where his apartment was, it just felt so
much like lighter and quieter and like I could really
feel the city.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Mm hmm, I I agree.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Like you kind of got a way for it to
die down a little bit and then then you really
it's just a lot more intense. The guys you've never been, yeah,
because you know you've been to like Tattooin, Like I don't.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It's it's hard to believe my wife and son are
on tattooing right now.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Oh that's right. I knew that land that Yeah they are.
How do you feel about that? Going to do with you? Gary?
What the heck? I didn't love it the first day
and you know, second day kind of day too. Wow.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Going back to school though, right? Is that why? This
is just like end of summer blaster.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We had some friends in from out of town who
were going, and so the it was based on that.
He has a friend in who lives in Oklahoma, and
they came into town to go to Disneyland, and we
just decided it was probably the only opportunity we'll ever
have to take them to Disneyland together. So that's where
they're going.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it's any consolation. It's hot as fuck outside.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh it's hot as fuck inside right now, Caitlen as
you well know. So, yeah, it's not much of a consolation.
Maybe if I had come home to uh, you know,
somewhere around seventy four, it would be a lot of consolation.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
But uh, say love the Yeah, I love how kids like.
If it's any consolation, your your wife and you're a
very young child are probably overheating right now.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Makes you feeling I appreciate him trying to find the
bright side for me. All right, Look, uh, we have comments.
I haven't done it.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
We didn't do comments last regular show and feel bad
about that, so I apologize to all the listeners who
are just thirsty for those clammies.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
So here we go before we get into comments. I
think I sort of made an omission at the beginning
of this show. Dawson may be joining at some point
for Patreon or something, but he's out tonight. We probably
should have highlighted that I mentioned he was out. Oh Okay,
I didn't hear you.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Okay, Well, either way, Yeah, Dawson may or may not
be joining us. I guess that's every show, all right.
There are a couple of ways to leave us comments.
By the way, you can either do it in our
Facebook group very free three ninety nine. It's all you
have to do is go to Facebook dot com. I
guess it costs you your information.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
We've all given oma who it's already, it's already everywhere.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Maybe it's touch to your soul.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Yeah, and look, if you're worried about joining Facebook, they
already got you.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I mean what's what's what's the point? I mean, the

Speaker 5 (38:14):
We might let you in my favorite place on the net,
all right, And then and then another way to leave
his comments is throw a Patreon for as little as
five dollars a month. You get an extra episode every week,
You get ad free episodes every week, and opportunities for
movie clubs and meetups and things like that. We just
(38:36):
did a burn after reading movie Club Dawson's pick.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
We ended up hanging out for like an hour with
the fans sea. That was fun.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Yeah, that was a long meet up, good meetup, and yeah,
spoiler alert, Matt did not love it. So do you
want to hear the rantings of a crazy man? Check
out check out. After reading Movie Club.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
I tried, I tried at the beginning, I was like, yeah,
I don't We're good, we don't need to shit on it.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
It's all good, not bad. And then I was just like.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
This, Yeah, I think Matt started to realize in real
time how much he didn't like the movie.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
No, No, I don't think you realized it in real
I don't think it was real time. I think Matt
just finally like removed the restraints he was putting on himself,
because he called me two days before that movie club
and gave me quite the rant about what a piece
of shit that movie was.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Then, all right, so let's see this here a couple
comments from our Patreon page. Thank you to those two subscribe.
This is a comments from our episode last week. Couldn't
wait for the summer at Warped Tour great, I remember
it's the first time that I saw her there.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Rock show. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Frank tiernas As second and our card says, I don't
know how many times that stupid YouTube album has started
auto playing when I start my car. I didn't even
have an iPhone when they released that album. I'm embarrassed
to say I didn't think about deleting it for my
(40:15):
phone until you guys mentioned that. So are welcome buddy, I.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Didn't even think about, like, even as I was saying
that that would happen to me all the time when
I would start my own car, it did. It escaped
me how diabolical it was that not only did they
just throw that onto all of our fucking iPods, but
it also was like always the first thing that played
when you just plugged it into anything. This feels very calculated.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
That was like the big thing when we were you know,
when podcasts were starting to really take off. There's all
these all this hubbub were our company was involved in
a lot of it, like meetings like oh, cars are
gonna have podcasts and then you're just gonna have them automatically,
and we're gonna we want your podcast up be uploaded
into every kiya. So when people I do Kia Boom,
(41:01):
you get your podcasts in there. And these are like
deals people are trying to broker with major networks and
it never happened, at least to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Planes are starting to do it a little bit, which
is kind of weird.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
I don't know, my car's got a podcast up, but
and and it already came with podcasts.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, I mean, oh, you have to select them, But yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
I think yeah, but I think it's just people didn't
realize how much the like it was really the phone.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah, people, people really missed that the phone was going
to be the conduit to everything else. Like people were
just going to connect their phone to their car and
that was where you needed to conquer.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
But you know, everything heintday is twenty twenty, So what
are you gonna do, dude, Marty Ward doing that rock show,
finishing that rock show, lyric, I was thinking about the
that Blink is the very first concert I ever went to.
Mom drove me and Bobby Moore and Lauren's I said
his full name and it doesn't matter anything bad and
(41:55):
uh and a couple other friends got tickets. So this
is kind of interesting as our very first concert. The
original lineup was supposed to be some forty one, Newfound
Glory and Blank, a pop punker's dream lineup. Like, just
thinking about it, can't get better than that, unless you'd
like maybe toss Green Day in there. So this is
(42:19):
two thousand and one, right when Take Off Your Pants
and Jacket came out and nine to eleven hits and
they end up you know, it's obviously a very big deal.
They they end up having to postpone the tour and
little buzzkill.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Gross.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Yeah, really really messed up like a concert going so
these I remember then postponing so something one had to
drop out with a new date they gave out. So
this band called Midtown had to uh they didn't have
(42:59):
they got to open and I never heard of Midtown.
So we went to the show and the first band
and my mom drove us the first band that goes
up as being called Midtown. They're great drive through records band.
And then and then the rest of the show went
on as planned. So at warped tour, I know I
talked about going a couple of weekends ago. That was
(43:20):
with my buddy Matt and he was at that concert too.
That was his first concert. And we watched this band
called Cobra Starship play people. I mean, they're pretty popular,
big and uh they wrote the Snakes on a Plane song.
If you remember that song, Snakes on a Plane, you know,
complimented the movie.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, yeah, that was a cultural phenomenon with that. I
haven't heard that title in a while.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Well, they played it live and that was probably the
first time I thought about that. I've thought about that
movie in a long time as well. So, but the
singer of Cobra Starship is the same singer of Midtown,
so he went from Midtown of Cobra Starship. So Matt got,
you know, we were backstage and Matt got to tell him, Hey,
the very first person I ever saw play live was
you and it was here because they were in Long
(44:09):
Beach and knows that the Long Beach Arena. So that's
like pretty surreal for him that to be able to
do a to tell him that. But that show Blink
played and the their set design was just their whole
backdrop was the F word f U c K in
flames hell. Yeah, and my mom was there, like she
(44:30):
didn't say she wasn't sit any with us. She went
to like some parent area and uh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
That's what she wants you to think. She was actually
in the front row.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
She's in the pit. Yeah she was mashing.
Speaker 5 (44:40):
But yeah, anyway, Blink man, my first, my first, my
first live band back in the day. All right, let's
go over to our Facebook group and rita colment or
two before we gtfo here. Ryan Roberts says that his
favorite pizza originated in Canada, but it's not called the
(45:01):
Canadian pizza. No, this was a a pizza made by
Greek immigrant inspired by Chinese cuisine, cuisine sweet and sour flavors.
But it's a pineapple on an Italian dish pineapple pizza.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Are you trying to say Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Pizza invented in Hawaii?
Speaker 5 (45:25):
I mean in Canada, but called Hawaiian pizza and so
as so for those for those Hawaiians out there, We're
sorry we're putting this on you, but should. Ryan Roberts
is Canadian and he says it's his favorite pizza, and
he's felled favorite with a you all right, subtle down.
(45:46):
I love me some Hawaiian pizza. Who knows it much
right here? So I love I love that I could
say this, and.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
And I told you fairly recently. I feel like I'm
starting to come around a little bit on the Hawaiian
But itfinitely wouldn't be like a like go to first option,
first only option pizza. It's like when it's at like
a party and there's three maybe four options. Yeah, I
think maybe I'll grab a slice now, But just like
we're getting pizza night, what do you want Hawaiian that
(46:16):
doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
When it just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Feel right as your main your main go.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
To, you're wrong, but it's okay. When you're at a party.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
That's your main go to. It's not my main go
can okay, well then I'm not fucking wrong.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
Well, my main go to is not the first pizza
I get, because if I'm up there getting pizza, you
think I'm only get one slice? Come on, man, how
many slices are you picking up?
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Well? I meant the whole fucking pizza. If you're ordering
a pizza for you know, to get delivered or whatever, like.
Speaker 5 (46:46):
I would never order it, but I picked my order
for all versus my pickup for slices.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Is it is a different order.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Yeah, okay, Well we're on the same page because, like
I said, if you're at a party and there's three
or four different options, I am going to get one
of those and try it. And recently I have liked
it more than in the past. But it's not a
fucking go to number one.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
I gotta be honest, guys.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
I'll do very often, very often half pepperoni, half waife.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
It's fine with that. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Mix it up, get a little bit of a spicy bite,
have a little sweet savory bite.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Just keep going back and forth. Come on, I mean
not like one bite at a time, but like one
slice at a time.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
You know, people don't do enough either. Is the jalapeno pepperoni.
It's pretty good, It's pretty solid. Pain all, A little pain,
a little pleasure, A lot of pleasure, A little pain,
a lot of pleasure.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
You'd throw.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, see Sam any combo throw a hallopeno on there,
and yeah, I'm fucking.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
In Okay, So but yeah, one pizza perfectly acceptable. And
I'm usually getting three pieces, three slices. When I stand
and get well, I'll kind of survey the room if
there's enough pizza for me to get three and people
to still be able to have two or more.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
You know what, Kaitlyn, to your point, I think that
the next time I try Hawaiian pizza, I'm, by the way,
on the record is loving Hawaiian pizza. I think I
want to try halapinos on a Hawaiian pizza.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
How you get the sweet, the spicy and the savory altogether.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
That's right. I like that. That's intriguing to me. I'm
gonna have to try that. Out. I'll report back. Please
do please feel like.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
You can fucking throw a hallopena on Annie fucking I'm kind.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Of with men.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Yeah, all right, let's hear Dan Hoover's this is from
a Facebook group.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
That's that's pretious that the dog in here, that's got
a dog.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Now, Okay, I tried to close the door, but it's
just coming right, just.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
Open right up, Dan Hoover says, tech Talk, what's up?
The guys are talking about leaving a movie to go pee.
There's an app for that, The run p app tells
you when you should go, how much time you have,
and what happened while you were gone.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yeah, my often, Mike.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Look, I know people have a lot of conditions with
their bodies, and I'm not here shame or judge, but.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
You can't hold your pee for two hours, like what's
come on?
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Especially, No, dude, you start going to like one of those.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Album Yeah, you get a couple of beers, that's just
a recipe for disaster, and then you've got a piece
so bad you can't even pay attention to the movie.
And these days movies are fucking two and a half hours,
sometimes three missions.
Speaker 5 (49:34):
Yeah, fucking is struggling glasses just fell off.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
That is just on the struggle bus. I think we
may need GTFO just for Matt's fucking sanity. I'm worried
about matt. Pants are falling down.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Everything's falling down, and Matt's set up.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
So that cats for trying.
Speaker 5 (49:59):
Either way, I'm sure, Uh, mister mister Scorsese appreciates people
uh going pete during during It's hard work. Fine, mister Nolan,
we apologize.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
I mean, obviously it's not ideal. No one wants to
fucking pete during the movie. That's but yeah, I guess
people have small, small bladders.
Speaker 5 (50:18):
I can, I can. You know, I've gone. I've gone
cross country flights never getting up. That's probably not good
for you, but it can. It can be done. There
can be done there either way. Yeah, I'm just maybe
it's not a big peer during movies, so I don't
I don't need the app.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
That's one app I'm not I'm not downloading.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
I've used it once or twice.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Yeah, I think I've seen you go pet during a
movie callan and it's.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
I went twice during mission impossible, but one of those
members my water you can you can kind of time well,
in an action movie like that, you can time it
out without even needing the app there's a large action
sequence and it dies down. That's your fucking That's when
you know to go.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Here's what movie theaters need to do.
Speaker 5 (50:59):
They just need to put a bathroom in each movie
theater with a screen just playing the movie, so you
can go to the bathroom, you watch it while you're
while you're using the restroom, and you can go and.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
It's like it's seamless.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Just they seem although you want better, they just put
a toilet right in the seat tickets.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
I don't think that's one better.
Speaker 3 (51:19):
What what about like six stalls and each stall is
numbered the same way that the theater is. So if
you were in theater two and you have to go
number two, you can walk into stall two and you'll
get to watch the movie that's on.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Well, you are going to have six stalls all playing
different movies at the same time.
Speaker 5 (51:37):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
Like sound proofstalls.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
I don't think I want to be in a soundproof
bathroom because if it's soundproof, it's probably there's probably some downsides.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
That actually soundproof stall is not. Well, maybe there are
until you get second.
Speaker 5 (51:57):
One I'll say, there is not a lot better than
the Florida ceiling doors for bathroom stalls.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
It's just it's just it's a wonderful experience. All right.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Well, anyway, Dan, thanks for the the app tip, But
don't really know we need it.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (52:18):
I think it's really good. I like I said, my
wife uses it.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
I will. I don't want her to tell me, like
what are the things that are been missing? But they'll
give you a lot of dialogue. They'll say, like, you know,
John will say to Missy, I'll be right back, and
then we'll know those que lines. And it just means
that if if you get up, like if you've kind
of ore on the verge of having to pe like
you may as well just go right now because you're
(52:42):
not going to miss much.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
If I was a director, I would look at that
app and just be like, that's I can't believe it,
Like that's the people are already pointing out dead spots
in my in my art, and that but me out
because look, it's all tension and release, so give it
some time to make some tension.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (53:00):
All right, And lastly, one last comment, Eric Jenks love Eric.
He says For those that don't subscribe to the Mallow tier,
you missed an absolute banger of a meet up this month,
worth the money without the shows and a stellar hang
with the guys in top tiers.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
So thank you Eric that we had a great time
as well.
Speaker 5 (53:17):
It was marvelous good Hey, that's right, and John Love
it's joining us too. All right, Matt's a bit Matt's
muted himself and he frustrated.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I'm going crazy over here. We gotta wrap this show up.
Speaker 4 (53:29):
My dog is driving my wife fucking bonkers right now.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
Okay, Well, I just had one more thing I wanted
to say about the Allen Parsons project.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
Oh yes, all right, Well, while't we go around the
one and get a plugs and then we GTFO. I'll
start over there. Well, Matt's a muted in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1 (53:45):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (53:45):
Matt patreon dot com slash water cooler. Please check it
out so support us. We'd really appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (53:52):
And again, ad free, I think is a major reason
to do this because getting interrupted all the time.
Speaker 3 (53:57):
It's no fun. Thank you from experience constantly being interrupted.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
I don't like jacking right now.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
Oh my god, I love my dog, but he is. Uh,
he's got a lot of energy.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
We're learning talk part.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Of it, Kalon.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Sobut you just falling about with Michael Bean. Check it out.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
Quick and easy, Gary Patreon dot com slash water cooler.
All right, look at these blocks? Uh for for me? Oh,
check out Superman here. It's good. All right.
Speaker 5 (54:31):
Well, that will do it for this episode of water Cooling.
Back for Patreon later this week. We love you, good boy.
Hello, and welcome to water Cooler. Yeah, you know what
Chris is in here? It's so quiet. Wouldn't it be
great if the show just started and Chris just started talking.
That would have been the real move here. But Chris
alast Chris Oxamana is not with us at the moment,
but he will be with us before the show is out.
I Gary, this is the show where I Gary Smith,
hang out with my Corolla buds of yesteryear and just
(00:34):
generally my buds with me today all the way in
Long Beach, California, It's kaylen Bean. What's going on? I
don't know? You tell me what? Were you just staring
off and had an awkward pause for it where you
didn't acknowledge me.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, I was. I was fixing my microphone. Oh okaych
just up and down at the moment, so to increase
my hearing, I had to look under.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, Well, there's a lot of unpacked there, and I
think we'll have to get to it. Introduce the other
person who is with me today, with me today all
the way in Austin, Texas. It's Matt Fondelier. Hey brother,
Hey brother, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I'm doing really good? Man? Excited to talk to you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is your mic right side up?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I think so? I'm not sure how one would upside out?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'd do it. I attached to this stand that this
arm that you see it on about three years ago,
and it's never been upside down ever once in my
entire life. So Caitlyn, explain yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Boy, Well, let me first just say I am very
jelly of your setup. I wish I had something like
that going on. But I have this stand that Chris
gave me on like my last day at Crolla Digital.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Even your stands are owned by somebody else.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You Chris gave it to me. I think he gave
me the microphone too. He gave me both of them.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And what percentage of the things that you interact with
on a day to day basis, would you say you've
had any part in paying.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
For aside from work stuff, which actually this might be
the exception, like pretty much pretty much zero. I mean
all my clothes I get for free, all my subscriptions ago, Yeah,
it's it's mostly yeah, if I don't have to pay
for like why, Look.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm not hating on you, I'm yes, we make light
of it, and we make jokes, but you're really killing
the game. I spend money like a fucking lunatic, and
I'm always that it's not a fun way to live.
So I think that you're doing it right. I'm jealous,
but yeah, so is this?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Like with with the free stuff comes annoyances like this
microphone stand that Chris was so nice enough to donate
to me. But I have to break it down and
set it back up every single time I do a podcast,
and it's almost broken at this point, like it's it
takes me like five minutes just to screw in this
top piece because it doesn't screw in right. But that
it's even more embarrassing that the setting it up upside
(02:45):
down was actually a very easy fix and I could
probably just because it just yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Put it right side up. Oh look at this. Oh
he's floor.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
We saw it live. Talen's mike is inverted. There we go, okay,
all right right side of Kalen has joined the podcast.
Welcome too.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Bad Dawson isn't here right now, because he would really
have a lot to say about this.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yes, I'm sure he wouldn't interrupt us to get it
in there. So, how you guys been what's been going on?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You know, I have been out here gigging, as they say,
you know, going from one gig to the next, trying
to make a life for myself out here working on
a project that I can't talk really that specifically about.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh fantastic, Thanks for stributing.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I ask you a question, I'm gonna fucking answer you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Oh you're not gonna answer it. And that's the whole
point of this.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I was just gonna say, tomorrow, we're gonna be doing
some filming, so it's gonna be very busy.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And what will your role be in that filming? Will
you be observing and contributing ideas or will you be
actually somehow physically involved in the actual execution of the shoot.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I am running the motherfucking show.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh so you're like directing over here.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I'm directing people.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I've set everything up, I got everything scheduled, knock on wood.
Everything goes mostly according to plan. But you know, it's
one of those things where in productions, Well thanks for that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Keep that in mind. Yeah, but the magic is in
when it doesn't go to plan. So yeah, you got
to you learn to embrace that. I mean, you you
make all the decisions you can. You plan as much
as you can, and then you just have to be
present and you know, just roll with the punches, as
they say, when they when they inevitably do come, because
they will come. Calan's right about that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, Yeah, that's kind of like you got to prepare
yourself for you know that that to happen, because most
likely it will happen. So when you know that going
into it, it's not going to catch you off guard.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. I mean, I feel like I've heard a lot
of actors and or people who do acting and directing
sort of talk about you know that that's really what
makes a good director is the ability to improvise and
to roll with it. When something inevitably goes wrong that
can't be fixed, you just have to figure out your
way around it. So you're giving your skill set, Matt.
You basically did that for many, many years and you
(05:05):
became very adept at it. So I think that you'll
be very well suited for this role. I'm excited for you, Matt.
I can't wait until you can tell us more about it. Yeah, Kaylen,
anything going on in your life you can't talk about, Matt.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Can you push your microphone to the right a little bit.
It's kind of blocking half your face.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Just there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Just for the video where we go.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I want to see this.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
We do want to see that point on Matt all right.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I had a fun day over the weekend. So my
neighbors throw a kind of like summer party for the kids.
They get a big water slide, a couple like two
and then like a water pool. They had the little
uh you know, the bowl. You ride the bowl around
and has the big inflatable ones. If you fall off,
you're fine. But the whole kind of block comes and
all the kids come and that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And that's the question. Does the does the bull or
does the bull? Because there's a summer party, I'm wondering,
are you just falling onto like an inflatable surface or
are you falling into like a little waiting pool.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, you're falling onto an inflatable inflatable surface. Not it's
not water.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Did we did we get on there, Kaylin and father
of two and ride this ball?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I did? Yeah. I got on because my little one
was a little afraid to go on by herself at first,
so I got on with her, showed her how I
was done, and then she was able to ride it
by herself. After that, you can, you know, one of
us controls it so you can make it go really
fucking slow. And that was towards the end. I was
fucking spinning that pitch and both my kids were staying
on so that was fun. But by towards the end
(06:30):
of the night, I had a couple of drinks in
me and I was getting a bit chatty, and I
discovered that one of my neighbors is a hell Diver.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh hell yeah sos remember fresh Yeah yeah, So Hell
Divers two is maybe the greatest video game that's ever
come out in the last let's settle down a little
bit there.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Two years, I said two years, I said two years.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, okay. Still.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So it's a multiplayer game. You're a team of four
and you it's Starship Troopers. That's pretty much exactly what
the Starship Troopers imagine that. It's that in the video game,
you're playing the teammates to kill all the bugs, although
you can also kill like terminators and they have like
alien covenant type faction. But yeah, I don't I don't
have anyone to play the game with, which is fine.
(07:22):
You know, I'll play the randos and that's great. But yeah,
I discovered that my neighbor is a hell Diver, and
so we spent a good chunk of time not only
talking about the game, but promoting it to everybody else
that was around us. Who I mean, they seemed entoosed
about it, but they were probably pretty sick of hearing
about it after about fifteen minutes, and then the conversation
would go somewhere else, and then I'd turned to him
(07:43):
and ask him a game related question. There we'd go
for another like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So now I would like to know how this actually
came about. But in my mind, I'm picturing you walking
through your neighborhood with your daughters and then all of
a sudden, you get a glimpse out of the corner
of your eye through the window on the television screen.
Your neighbor's playing Hell Divers.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You push your daughters out of the way, pound on
the front door, let yourself in.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
We need to fight for liberty, and yeah, yeah, I
wish that was something like that. I honestly, I don't
even remember how the discussion came up.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So what you're saying is my scenario could have happened.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, not only that, but I did bust out the
PlayStation last week, so I had it last week and
I was playing the game a little bit too much.
So right after I found out that I finally have
someone to play with, I got a lot of work
I've had to do this week. I had to immediately
take the PlayStation throw it back into storage. So pretty
much like the next day, I was like, great, let's play,
but not yet. I gotta wait until I can get
it out of storage again.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So damn.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That was really fun. But if that wasn't good enough,
I found out that my other neighbor down the street
is a like horror movie junkie fucking loves horror movies. Now,
he hasn't seen quite as many as Matt and myself,
but it was really fun recommending new ones to him.
You know, I knew that getting into a beautiful friendship guy,
(09:01):
I think. So he asked like, what are some really good,
you know, horror movies I may not know about? And
I threw out terrified to him, and he had seen
that one, so I knew that he could hang after
he saw that one. But there was still a lot
of others that I was able to recommend to him.
He hasn't text me about watching any of them yet,
but it's fun. So I got another new horror buddy
(09:23):
to I'll probably be recommending movies to him because I've
seen a lot more of them. But still, it's fun.
I like doing that. I like I like showing people
new movies that they haven't seen yet. So I gave
him about five movies to watch and told them to
check back in with me after I log them some more.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Hell yeah, well, before we get too far away from
from PlayStation, I have a question. It's actually kind of
like a tech talk, so Gary, you might be able
to chime in here. But I saw a headline that
they're coming out with the PlayStation six, like really soon
within the next couples bullshit?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, because I mean, wait on, hold on what wait,
hold on a second, the next couple of years might
not be bullshit.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Like before twenty twenty cent of.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The Eggain, No, that's that's that's bull show. I feel
like I would have heard this new leak. They would
have done a big announcement, right, Gary, there.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Was a leak that leaks bullshit?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
All right? Good?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Because uh fucking GTA six hasn't even motherfucking come out yet,
So what what are we talking about here?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
How can that? Well, I believe possibly be.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'd have to look at the actual dates, but I
believe it's has not yet been a year since they
released the PS five Pro. So if you go back
and you look at the lifestyles of the old systems,
what happens is the PlayStation four will come out, then
a PlayStation four Pro comes out, and then there's several
years of that life cycle before they start to get
prepared for THEE the PSI five and in this case,
(10:55):
the same thing. You know, the PS five Pro just
came out, so they're going to let that live for
a few more year years at least, But I would
I would put it somewhere more towards the end of
this decade before we would get another whole wholesale, brand
new system.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
From your Lips to God's Ears.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, I think I remember they released the five around
like noved. They'd like to release them like right before Christmas? Right,
it was in October November November twenty Yeah, November twenty
twenty seven, maybe, but I believe like twenty twenty eight
would be more likely.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I agree, I tend to agree. I don't. I don't
see it coming out next calendar year. That just seems
absurd to me. I don't think that's gonna happen. So
are you? Are we good on PlayStation talk? Can I
bring up another subject? Are you more make it about PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Unless you've got some unless you've got some very hard
hitting God of War questions for us?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, I have actually been playing God of War, that's right.
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I don't really get shook by many things in games,
nothing too scary, but they there is. I know you
guys are gonna know what I'm talking about. A gigantic
like serpent snake creature in the God of War game.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
And there have been.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Several scenes and I'm still early on in the game
where we're just talking like nothing's really going on, but
just the size and scope of that character compared to
the characters that you're playing, it is actually triggered some
weird like caveman thing inside of me as I'm playing,
where it's legitimately like I kind of have to look
away from the screen sometimes it is really really scary
(12:30):
and the shit out of me. And I don't even
think that I have a problem with snakes. But there's
something about up Gary's left. Gary's left his doors open.
There are ghosts in his house?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Was that a ghost? Gary?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I forgot that I one of my cats eats in
the bathroom, and I forgot that I had left him
in there, and sanitary felt very badly. Yeah, it is
on sanasary. But what are you gonna do? All right?
So not a God of war question, but I had
an interesting experience this weekend, and I would like to
get your thoughts unless you have more to say about
(13:04):
the giant serpent, Matt. It's scary, it is scary.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It's great though.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So a couple of weeks ago, I placed an order
for a bunch of custom frames. You know, you go
to Michael's or whatever and you give them your pictures
and they'll they'll make them up for you, you know.
So when I did this, the guy told me probably
be done in about two weeks, and I said, okay,
And I looked at the paperwork that he had gave me,
and the paperwork promised it by three weeks. But I figure,
(13:33):
this guy knows what their inventory is like, he knows
what their workload, their jobs are, So I waited a
little over two weeks and I called to see if
my order was ready. I called on a Sunday because
these are things that I'm taking to my office and
I one of them is for me and the other
two are for coworkers, and I wanted to pick them
up and take them in on Monday if they were ready.
(13:54):
So I call on Sunday. I said, I want to
check on the status of my framing order. And they said, okay,
what's your last name? And I said Smith and they
said okay, hold on. He put me on hold and
they got back on the line and they go, Yep,
they're ready, And I'm oh, great, no one called me,
but they're ready for pickup. Yep, okay. So I get
in my car and I drive over to the Michaels,
(14:16):
which is not, you know, a thirty minute drive, but
it's fifteen minutes or something like that. So I drive
over there, I walk in, I walk up to the
framing counter. I finally the kid. He's in the back
working on something. I said, hey, can you help me
with a frame pickup? And he went, yes, I can.
I'll be right there, and then he comes out and
as he's walking through the door, to greet me at
the counter. He goes last name Smith and I yes,
(14:38):
it is and he goes first name Leslie, and I
cocked my head and went no, and he looked down.
He looked back up at me and he went, you
sure it's not Leslie? And I went, yeah, sir, I'm
pretty certain that this six foot five man standing in
front of you, it's pretty unlikely that he would be
named Leslie. And he was like, oh, well, they just
(15:01):
told me the last name. I figured you were Leslie.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And I went, now, he's just doing his inner monologue out.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, I went, I am not. And he looked at
it and he looks down at his paper and he goes,
what's your first name? And I went Gary, and he
went do you know what.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
He want named Leslie?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
The guy's doing a bit.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I went, sir, even if I did, you got to
stop with the Leslie. This kid he was like twenty
six years old. Whether or not he was high, I
will leave to the imagination. But he works in a
framing shop, so I mean, you know, uh. And we
did this hole back and forth and he finally goes,
you said Gary, right, and I said yeah, and he said,
(15:45):
do the frames have anything to do with Los Angeles
and I said yeah, and he said, oh yeah, those
aren't ready, and I went okay, okay man, and he
was like, let me check if I have if I've
gotten the material for him, and he checks and he goes, yeah, okay,
I've got the materials. I know we promised it by
like next weekend, but you can probably call him like
(16:06):
Wednesday and they'll be ready. I was like, okay, He's
like sorry. I said, you know, not the end of
the world, and I left. What do you guys think
about this? When I call in with the literally the
world's most generic last name, should there maybe have been
a follow up of like first initial or something.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I totally agree it should have been his responsibility, but
I will also say that you could have said it
if you have experienced something that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, no, I'm not saying that. I am not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
As you started this story, I saw where this was going.
I go, smith, very generic last name. This is obviously
going to be a mix up.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Someone with a very ungineeroings.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Am I just the dumb ass? Or there are guys
named Leslie?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
There are right, there are Leslie Nilson.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
But I mean after I said no the first time,
he needed to stop the leslie.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And also, like you said, this dude was probably baked
off his ass.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, so would not shock.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Maybe that maybe not asking for the first initial, which
he should have done, maybe he slipped his mind, maybe
he was a little well, it wasn't him.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It wasn't him who asked for the initial, because I
spoke to a woman on the phone. She should have whatever,
it's not a There was faults by all people, but
somebody who would have no way of relating to this
story was like.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'd go, like eighty twenty, they're full.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, they're their fault, but yeah, well yeah, I might
put it in ninety ten because they didn't ask me
for my full name. They specifically said, what's your last name?
But whatever. Nonetheless, Chris Loximmana has one of the more
exotic last names and probably could not relate at all
to this story. I am telling about a mix up
with my last name at a framing shop. But here
he is all the way in Long Each, California. It's
(17:42):
Chris Losamana. I mean the framing shop.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Wow, what a fucking in Yeah, you missed, you missed
the Michaels story Chris a banger. I had to give
it a little extra, I doubt earlier, earlier in the episode,
and so it was very quiet. Yeah, that went dedicated
to Joya. Came in right at the perfect time. The
(18:18):
framing shop, Michaels.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Dude, this conversation.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Man, I love me some Michaels. Yeah, you know, go
there Joanne's. I think Johann's is going out of business. Yeah,
they're closing, baby good d I hate I hate that.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I don't know why. I love me and Michael's. Joanne's
is like, I don't know, I've had some bad experiences.
It's well known, much fabric. It is well known in
my household that you will not be sending me on
an errand to a Joanne's. People just know Gary's not
going no no, you asked Joya what you can frame
it as vaguely as can you name a store that
(18:57):
Gary refuses to go to, and she would coming straight
out of the gate without thinking twice about it.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Joe Ans, well, I love me some Michaels. You know,
look see which you will about me. But I like
some crafts. I like a little craft action making stuff
out of balsa wood fabric good sales there too.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh, very you always find a coupon you.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Guys, hit those those Christmas sales three days after Christmas,
Matt I was.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Gonna say, Michael's is that's like holiday time for me.
We're going for haunted House carnival miniature figures for our
little village, your little Christmas village.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And yeah, right after the holiday, that's the best time
to go. Everyone knows that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
And Gary, you're getting stuff framed right now? What are
you framing? What are you putting on display?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Something related to Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (19:45):
I heard, Yeah, covers. I oh, just like your magazine covers.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, I have one in my office from the first
issue that I was fully involved in. And then we
created another really cool cover. I can actually show you, guys.
It's this one right here that is really cool. And
so I had this one blown up and framed because
the one, the first one that I made, which was
kind of the first issue that I was fully involved in,
(20:11):
has my name in and everything. I blew that up
because that just sort of seemed to make sense. Everyone
has covers in their office, and I figured from my
first one I wanted to get it framed really nice,
and it turned out so good that I knew I
was going to get at least one, if not maybe
two more over the course of time to fill out
the wall because it's a big wall, and this one
(20:32):
turned out really good, and I was involved in helping
make it. So I had that blown up. And when
I announced I was doing that, two other people in
my office are like me too. And I was like,
it's not free and I'm not paying for it, and
they were like, I don't care, we'll pay you back.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I was like, all right, fine, framing stuff is weirdly
pricier than I thought.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Matt used to frame a lot of stuff well in
the day. I got to be honest with you, though,
like it's also not as bad as you think. Like
I got this thing blown up to about two and
a half feet tall and almost you know, a little
under two feet wide, so and then there's matting, and
then there's you know, the frame itself and the glass.
So you're talking about something that's you know, three feet
(21:10):
by two feet when you're all said and done, under
two hundred and fifty dollars. Not that bad. That's too
much to frame something. I think that's for a frame,
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Even with the Mad it was a nice frame with.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's nice you need the Mad? Yeah, okay, it's nice
real glass.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, that does sound high. That does sound high though, Well,
how much did you say, sorry, how much did you
say it was?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
It's a little under two hundred and fifty, but it
does sound high until way more until you get the
bill from Michael's where Michael's does this thing where in
order to make it feel like you're getting a discount,
they charge you, you know, two hundred and thirty five
bucks or whatever it is. And then you get the
receipt and the receipt says that it really was supposed
to cost seven hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
How much exactly?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
How much is an issue of La mag free for me? Free?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Gary, you're getting a little like maybe either your fan
or something on your mic. You're sounding a little, uh,
a little crispy.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Seven ninety nine is the news stand price. Yeah, see,
it's a hot day, foreign Matt. It's hot over here.
We're dealing we're dealing with heat. Let the man have
a fan on.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
But yeah, poor audience though, is it still there?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Kalin's screen is gonna give me a seizure. Every every day.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
I see it. It's ceilings just flashing. It's like a yeah,
it's okay, Chris.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I'd advise you record on your end. I just had
an unstable internet. It's notification, all right, no problem, can
do trick or groove.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Uh anyway, Look, I'm I am glad that they wait,
what do they do with their last name?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
So I called the framing place to see if my
stuff was done, and they just.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Listened to the episode. Chris, all right, I don't want
to hear this story.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Please everybody already that that's why.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Don't to come in halfway. That doesn't matter. I'm going,
Hey man, I'm gonna be going to Austin. Oh really
yeah next month for okay, cool days. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
This is what it's like when people tell friends that
they're going to be in her city.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Sure, with our heads up, Notice.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What's the occasion for work?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Work trip? You know?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
But you're gonna have some downtime.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I'm in the area, doubt it, but you know, I
just want to let you know we're going to be
there regardless.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But we'll see.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
I'll keep you updated once the a tent the ten
is set, all right, cool, I get shortened itinerary right,
there's no.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Other right, Sure, I knew what you meant by.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
The way, Matt. Look, I've been complimenting Matt. His framing skills.
His itinerary skills are second and none too. I miss
I missed seeing those gets sent over to me.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah that was back in the day.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, Look, we got a lot of stuff to
get into.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I got I got a an update from a bust
and makes me feel good. Where last we heard I
was in Philadelphia?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
And what a journey we've been on.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Look, man, it's this This segments longer than the actual trip.
But that's fine. But I, uh, my next stop is Bismarck,
North Dakota. So we went from Philly to Bismarck, And yeah, why.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Don't we that seems like a lot of terrain to
cover when we.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Hear a little yeah, I don't know. I feel like
I'm an unreliable narrator in this uh throughout my journal,
like I just like, who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Why is his? Why is his? Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Where's entries? Just so all over the place? Like his
writing is pretty basic. B But you know, I was
having fun. Maybe I was having too much fun. I
didn't really care to keep a journal that much. So
for those who are, for those who are keeping a
journal or a diary of some sort, give it a
little more thought, because it is fun to look back
(24:50):
and uh and read who you were. All right, let's
do a little little sege makes me feel good, all right.
So it's starts off with a quote, look at me,
I'm go see with this the word quote in dictionary.
(25:13):
In the dictionary, now it says quote, I can, but
I don't know what it's gonna look like. And that
is a quote by James from the Space Aliens restaurant
in response to me ordering a pizza without cheese.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I can, but I don't know what it's gonna look like.
All right.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
So this is June twenty third, a Sunday in two
thousand and six. I went to eat at Space Aliens
on a whim after Trevor saw a sign on the highway.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh you know it's gonna be good if it has
a highway sign.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, Actually, you know it's gonna be good. Trevor is
the one who's making the call.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Every state kind of has like those those alien themes,
like jerky and restaurants and whatever, so mark no different.
I don't know if it's still there, but I even
drew it. I'll show you the drawing in a sec.
It says James was our server, nice and laid back.
The entire menu claimed to be the best in the universe.
(26:16):
Lots of alien paraphernalia while watching Nascar in room area
fifty one. So they had a room called Air fifty one.
They playing some Nascar there. The place was run by
people our age and twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They're all twenty. Then it's probably not still there.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Yeah, the place was run by people our age, and
the cooks were stoked on the bus asking me if
we smoke and drink. But I'm not that dank. I
still say dank, so sure, why not. The outside had
a space alien themed painting or mural all the way
(26:58):
around the building.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
It's definitely an interesting experience and.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
A good way to see what Bismarck had to offer
earthlings Welcome. And then I drew it on the bottom
there and if you could see it, oh yeah, yeah,
So so.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
That was a you know, I know, you probably don't
because it's just whatever you just read.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
But was this the site of an alien landing? And
that's why they built a little thing there.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I highly doubt it. Okay, that's a good. That's a good.
We need to play a Newsnook intro for this.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, I feel like there's been a couple of sightings
in North Dakota. Yeah, like I've heard of that a
couple of times coming through all my alien stories in
the past.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I did rank it in my restaurant chart.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh, let's see, let's hear.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Space Aliens Grill and Bar and Space Aliens Grill and Bar, Bismarck,
North Dakota. Six out of ten. Really funny atmosphere. It's
like Chuck E Cheese, but not the build your own
pizza Bomby barbecue sauce though. All right, there you go
and just uh and I'll go back a couple of
(28:04):
restaurants here too. There's a place called Amsterdam in Washington,
d C. That had a Falaffa buffet nine out of
ten amazing. And then mister Chen's Organic also in DC.
Really awesome tofu dishes. Wow, I was wrong, Space Aliens
is still around.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Gave that a ten? Wow? What god on?
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yelp, Let's see this is this is how I gave it,
So that's like a three out of five. You were
in Bismarck. There's three locations. You were in Bismarck.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, damn, Bismarck.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
They've expanded.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Space aliens. What up? If you're hearing this podcast? Good memories, man,
Good memories, dude.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What if they were to blast an episode of Water
Cooler into actual space?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Oh? I'm not done with them. I'm not done with
North Dakota. By the way, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
I feel like we already heard everything I had to offer?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Your words the next page, still in North Dakota. I
have another quote quote attention, no doing that off the
low dive. I'm not even kidding. And that was a
girl on the loudspeaker at the public pool. We went
to a public pool after skating to the skate park
at Lions Park. Two dollars for the pool and five
(29:17):
dollars for the pool and some water slide action.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
A water slide, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I paid the water slide inside, I paid the two dollars.
Still a good time. Nonetheless, these two little kids were
doing the funniest dives. Great temperature for the water and
the showers. So do you want to check their yelp scores?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Three point four out of three point four out of
five for sweeze Alien.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I guess that's not bad for a fucking roadside cafe.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It wasn't. And uh, James is still there? What up James.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Good temperature for the water, it's that great tempture for
the water and showers definitely what we needed. Pools are
definitely a key element to raised morale on this trip.
And then I drew a skate the skate park that
we skated to, so I was thinking about, like, yeah,
just morale, morale on these trips. You're stuck in such
(30:11):
close quarters with guys for that long, you're gonna get
on each other's nerves and you need to you need
to boost the energy up. Another thing that we did
to boose energy up was go to Target. We freaking
loved going to Target. The reason being was they had
like they're just reliable bathrooms that you can go and
(30:32):
brush teeth, shave like ivans.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, and like everyone just come.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
It was like spacious sitting out there, clean enough to
where if we all just if all sixteen of us
just rolled into a Target, we could all use the
bathroom and like and feel a little more refreshed. So
I remember whenever we were like thinking, Okay, where do
you guys want to go next? And we would go
throw a Target the place. The bus would just go nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Like yes, let's go to Target, and.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, we would go off to Target. I still kind
of feel that way when I go so but yeah,
Target definitely good hotspot. Another another trick that people that
we did not on this trip but a future trip
was if you sign up for like a twenty four
hour fitness and then you just get a gym pass
and you can just go to all the twenty four
fittests in the country and just go get ticket, take
(31:20):
a real nice shower in like the locker room. So, look,
I got vagrant tips.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I mean, if I was.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In the GYP membership, is you can get a little price. Yeah,
it's a little.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Well klan, I'm look, I'm pretty rich, Okay, So like
my idea of a vagrant still could afford a gym membership. Okay,
I don't really know the cost of anything these days.
The would I do think about like if I had
to be homeless, if I I would do everything I
could just to keep up with my appearance so I
could walk into hotels and stores without being bothered, right,
(31:55):
just all we have to do is just keep up
the appearance and not look like because people kind of
freaked out if.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But if you were homeless, why would you be walking
into a hotel or a fucking.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I thought that's what the I thought, that's what the
gym membership was for.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No, I was kidding, you can't get.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Home.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Oh gosh, dude. Yeah, I'm just gonna be super freaking buff.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
I think your your theory is strong.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
But at a certain point, if you're homeless, you're not
doing laundry, and you're also not walking around with like
three hundred and sixty five outfits. You got maybe a
place where you're storing a couple extra shirts if you're
gonna look pretty grimy after a while.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
I'm aware, I'm aware. It's it's just uh, it was
just uh an idea I had, Like, I wonder what
would I what would I have to do to keep
the the appearance? Oh, got one more restaurant here to rate?
Planet Hollywood and Times Square in New York.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Classic is that still open?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Eight out of ten? Awesome?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Veggie Burger really expensive. So the the reason we went there,
we we were all in New York. It might be
coming up in a journals soon. But I remember it
was just it was someone's birthday, and we're like, let's
wherever you want. We were in the Food Capital of
the World or yeah, that's I would say, that's a
food capital.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Of the world.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Right, it's just like everything in New York food capital
of the world. Let's just go wherever you want to go.
I'm like, Matt, I mean, if I offer that to you,
you be you. We open up that Michelin our guy
right now and yeah and uh and pick or zagut.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
No are you buying? Who's payned? You know?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It doesn't matter, well it does, it depends, actually does matter.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
It's your birthday, so you're all right, So we're going,
We're going Machelin baby my buddy Jason's birthday, and we're like,
where do we go? And he goes playing a Hollywood
in Times Square and we're just like, dude, we're from
l A, Like why are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Like, yeah, they have like.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
These fruit loop fruit loop crusted fried chicken and I
love that. I was disgusting and it was such a
bummer that we ought to go to the Plan Hollywood
and Times Square.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
But man held of Veggieburger.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
I heard hell of Vegeburger pretty expensive. It is pricey.
I mean it's a course trap over there. So it's
Time Square enjoyable for you guys. It's still pretty fun,
right I've been.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I've only been one time actually, and uh it was
a very intense, uh like energy there. My friend was
working at a theater that was kind of like off Broadway,
so I would hang out with him while he was working,
and then afterwards we would just walk down Times Square
and it was just it was a scene.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Man, it was fucking crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
And then he lived in like I want to say,
Astoria or some just some one of the like kind
of neighborhoods outside of New York, quite quite a long
subway train away, and as soon as we would get
closer to where his apartment was, it just felt so
much like lighter and quieter and like I could really
feel the city.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Mm hmm, I I agree.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Like you kind of got a way for it to
die down a little bit and then then you really
it's just a lot more intense. The guys you've never been, yeah,
because you know you've been to like Tattooin, Like I don't.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
It's it's hard to believe my wife and son are
on tattooing right now.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Oh that's right. I knew that land that Yeah they are.
How do you feel about that? Going to do with you? Gary?
What the heck? I didn't love it the first day
and you know, second day kind of day too. Wow.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Going back to school though, right? Is that why? This
is just like end of summer blaster.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We had some friends in from out of town who
were going, and so the it was based on that.
He has a friend in who lives in Oklahoma, and
they came into town to go to Disneyland, and we
just decided it was probably the only opportunity we'll ever
have to take them to Disneyland together. So that's where
they're going.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, it's any consolation. It's hot as fuck outside.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh it's hot as fuck inside right now, Caitlen as
you well know. So, yeah, it's not much of a consolation.
Maybe if I had come home to uh, you know,
somewhere around seventy four, it would be a lot of consolation.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
But uh, say love the Yeah, I love how kids like.
If it's any consolation, your your wife and you're a
very young child are probably overheating right now.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Makes you feeling I appreciate him trying to find the
bright side for me. All right, Look, uh, we have comments.
I haven't done it.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
We didn't do comments last regular show and feel bad
about that, so I apologize to all the listeners who
are just thirsty for those clammies.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
So here we go before we get into comments. I
think I sort of made an omission at the beginning
of this show. Dawson may be joining at some point
for Patreon or something, but he's out tonight. We probably
should have highlighted that I mentioned he was out. Oh Okay,
I didn't hear you.
Speaker 5 (37:15):

(38:36):
did a burn after reading movie Club Dawson's pick.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
We ended up hanging out for like an hour with
the fans sea. That was fun.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Yeah, that was a long meet up, good meetup, and yeah,
spoiler alert, Matt did not love it. So do you
want to hear the rantings of a crazy man? Check
out check out. After reading Movie Club.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
I tried, I tried at the beginning, I was like, yeah,
I don't We're good, we don't need to shit on it.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
It's all good, not bad. And then I was just like.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
This, Yeah, I think Matt started to realize in real
time how much he didn't like the movie.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
No, No, I don't think you realized it in real
I don't think it was real time. I think Matt
just finally like removed the restraints he was putting on himself,
because he called me two days before that movie club
and gave me quite the rant about what a piece
of shit that movie was.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Then, all right, so let's see this here a couple
comments from our Patreon page. Thank you to those two subscribe.
This is a comments from our episode last week. Couldn't
wait for the summer at Warped Tour great, I remember
it's the first time that I saw her there.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Rock show. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Frank tiernas As second and our card says, I don't
know how many times that stupid YouTube album has started
auto playing when I start my car. I didn't even
have an iPhone when they released that album. I'm embarrassed
to say I didn't think about deleting it for my
(40:15):
phone until you guys mentioned that. So are welcome buddy, I.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Didn't even think about, like, even as I was saying
that that would happen to me all the time when
I would start my own car, it did. It escaped
me how diabolical it was that not only did they
just throw that onto all of our fucking iPods, but
it also was like always the first thing that played
when you just plugged it into anything. This feels very calculated.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
That was like the big thing when we were you know,
when podcasts were starting to really take off. There's all
these all this hubbub were our company was involved in
a lot of it, like meetings like oh, cars are
gonna have podcasts and then you're just gonna have them automatically,
and we're gonna we want your podcast up be uploaded
into every kiya. So when people I do Kia Boom,
(41:01):
you get your podcasts in there. And these are like
deals people are trying to broker with major networks and
it never happened, at least to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Planes are starting to do it a little bit, which
is kind of weird.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
I don't know, my car's got a podcast up, but
and and it already came with podcasts.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, I mean, oh, you have to select them, But yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
I think yeah, but I think it's just people didn't
realize how much the like it was really the phone.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah, people, people really missed that the phone was going
to be the conduit to everything else. Like people were
just going to connect their phone to their car and
that was where you needed to conquer.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
But you know, everything heintday is twenty twenty, So what
are you gonna do, dude, Marty Ward doing that rock show,
finishing that rock show, lyric, I was thinking about the
that Blink is the very first concert I ever went to.
Mom drove me and Bobby Moore and Lauren's I said
his full name and it doesn't matter anything bad and
(41:55):
uh and a couple other friends got tickets. So this
is kind of interesting as our very first concert. The
original lineup was supposed to be some forty one, Newfound
Glory and Blank, a pop punker's dream lineup. Like, just
thinking about it, can't get better than that, unless you'd
like maybe toss Green Day in there. So this is
(42:19):
two thousand and one, right when Take Off Your Pants
and Jacket came out and nine to eleven hits and
they end up you know, it's obviously a very big deal.
They they end up having to postpone the tour and
little buzzkill.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Gross.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Yeah, really really messed up like a concert going so
these I remember then postponing so something one had to
drop out with a new date they gave out. So
this band called Midtown had to uh they didn't have
(42:59):
they got to open and I never heard of Midtown.
So we went to the show and the first band
and my mom drove us the first band that goes
up as being called Midtown. They're great drive through records band.
And then and then the rest of the show went
on as planned. So at warped tour, I know I
talked about going a couple of weekends ago. That was
(43:20):
with my buddy Matt and he was at that concert too.
That was his first concert. And we watched this band
called Cobra Starship play people. I mean, they're pretty popular,
big and uh they wrote the Snakes on a Plane song.
If you remember that song, Snakes on a Plane, you know,
complimented the movie.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, yeah, that was a cultural phenomenon with that. I
haven't heard that title in a while.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Well, they played it live and that was probably the
first time I thought about that. I've thought about that
movie in a long time as well. So, but the
singer of Cobra Starship is the same singer of Midtown,
so he went from Midtown of Cobra Starship. So Matt got,
you know, we were backstage and Matt got to tell him, Hey,
the very first person I ever saw play live was
you and it was here because they were in Long
(44:09):
Beach and knows that the Long Beach Arena. So that's
like pretty surreal for him that to be able to
do a to tell him that. But that show Blink
played and the their set design was just their whole
backdrop was the F word f U c K in
flames hell. Yeah, and my mom was there, like she
(44:30):
didn't say she wasn't sit any with us. She went
to like some parent area and uh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
That's what she wants you to think. She was actually
in the front row.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
She's in the pit. Yeah she was mashing.
Speaker 5 (44:40):
But yeah, anyway, Blink man, my first, my first, my
first live band back in the day. All right, let's
go over to our Facebook group and rita colment or
two before we gtfo here. Ryan Roberts says that his
favorite pizza originated in Canada, but it's not called the
(45:01):
Canadian pizza. No, this was a a pizza made by
Greek immigrant inspired by Chinese cuisine, cuisine sweet and sour flavors.
But it's a pineapple on an Italian dish pineapple pizza.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Are you trying to say Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Pizza invented in Hawaii?
Speaker 5 (45:25):
I mean in Canada, but called Hawaiian pizza and so
as so for those for those Hawaiians out there, We're
sorry we're putting this on you, but should. Ryan Roberts
is Canadian and he says it's his favorite pizza, and
he's felled favorite with a you all right, subtle down.
(45:46):
I love me some Hawaiian pizza. Who knows it much
right here? So I love I love that I could
say this, and.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
And I told you fairly recently. I feel like I'm
starting to come around a little bit on the Hawaiian
But itfinitely wouldn't be like a like go to first option,
first only option pizza. It's like when it's at like
a party and there's three maybe four options. Yeah, I
think maybe I'll grab a slice now, But just like
we're getting pizza night, what do you want Hawaiian that
(46:16):
doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
When it just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Feel right as your main your main go.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
To, you're wrong, but it's okay. When you're at a party.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
That's your main go to. It's not my main go
can okay, well then I'm not fucking wrong.
Speaker 5 (46:27):
Well, my main go to is not the first pizza
I get, because if I'm up there getting pizza, you
think I'm only get one slice? Come on, man, how
many slices are you picking up?
Speaker 2 (46:37):
Well? I meant the whole fucking pizza. If you're ordering
a pizza for you know, to get delivered or whatever, like.
Speaker 5 (46:46):
I would never order it, but I picked my order
for all versus my pickup for slices.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Is it is a different order.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Yeah, okay, Well we're on the same page because, like
I said, if you're at a party and there's three
or four different options, I am going to get one
of those and try it. And recently I have liked
it more than in the past. But it's not a
fucking go to number one.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
I gotta be honest, guys.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
I'll do very often, very often half pepperoni, half waife.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
It's fine with that. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 4 (47:17):
Mix it up, get a little bit of a spicy bite,
have a little sweet savory bite.
Speaker 3 (47:23):
Just keep going back and forth. Come on, I mean
not like one bite at a time, but like one
slice at a time.
Speaker 5 (47:28):
You know, people don't do enough either. Is the jalapeno pepperoni.
It's pretty good, It's pretty solid. Pain all, A little pain,
a little pleasure, A lot of pleasure, A little pain,
a lot of pleasure.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
You'd throw.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, see Sam any combo throw a hallopeno on there,
and yeah, I'm fucking.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
In Okay, So but yeah, one pizza perfectly acceptable. And
I'm usually getting three pieces, three slices. When I stand
and get well, I'll kind of survey the room if
there's enough pizza for me to get three and people
to still be able to have two or more.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
You know what, Kaitlyn, to your point, I think that
the next time I try Hawaiian pizza, I'm, by the way,
on the record is loving Hawaiian pizza. I think I
want to try halapinos on a Hawaiian pizza.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
How you get the sweet, the spicy and the savory altogether.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
That's right. I like that. That's intriguing to me. I'm
gonna have to try that. Out. I'll report back. Please
do please feel like.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
You can fucking throw a hallopena on Annie fucking I'm kind.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Of with men.
Speaker 5 (48:33):
Yeah, all right, let's hear Dan Hoover's this is from
a Facebook group.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
That's that's pretious that the dog in here, that's got
a dog.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Now, Okay, I tried to close the door, but it's
just coming right, just.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
Open right up, Dan Hoover says, tech Talk, what's up?
The guys are talking about leaving a movie to go pee.
There's an app for that, The run p app tells
you when you should go, how much time you have,
and what happened while you were gone.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yeah, my often, Mike.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
Look, I know people have a lot of conditions with
their bodies, and I'm not here shame or judge, but.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
You can't hold your pee for two hours, like what's
come on?
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Especially, No, dude, you start going to like one of those.
Speaker 2 (49:21):
Album Yeah, you get a couple of beers, that's just
a recipe for disaster, and then you've got a piece
so bad you can't even pay attention to the movie.
And these days movies are fucking two and a half hours,
sometimes three missions.
Speaker 5 (49:34):
Yeah, fucking is struggling glasses just fell off.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
That is just on the struggle bus. I think we
may need GTFO just for Matt's fucking sanity. I'm worried
about matt. Pants are falling down.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Everything's falling down, and Matt's set up.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
So that cats for trying.
Speaker 5 (49:59):
Either way, I'm sure, Uh, mister mister Scorsese appreciates people
uh going pete during during It's hard work. Fine, mister Nolan,
we apologize.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
I mean, obviously it's not ideal. No one wants to
fucking pete during the movie. That's but yeah, I guess
people have small, small bladders.
Speaker 5 (50:18):
I can, I can. You know, I've gone. I've gone
cross country flights never getting up. That's probably not good
for you, but it can. It can be done. There
can be done there either way. Yeah, I'm just maybe
it's not a big peer during movies, so I don't
I don't need the app.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
That's one app I'm not I'm not downloading.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
I've used it once or twice.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Yeah, I think I've seen you go pet during a
movie callan and it's.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
I went twice during mission impossible, but one of those
members my water you can you can kind of time well,
in an action movie like that, you can time it
out without even needing the app there's a large action
sequence and it dies down. That's your fucking That's when
you know to go.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
Here's what movie theaters need to do.
Speaker 5 (50:59):
They just need to put a bathroom in each movie
theater with a screen just playing the movie, so you
can go to the bathroom, you watch it while you're
while you're using the restroom, and you can go and.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
It's like it's seamless.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Just they seem although you want better, they just put
a toilet right in the seat tickets.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
I don't think that's one better.
Speaker 3 (51:19):
What what about like six stalls and each stall is
numbered the same way that the theater is. So if
you were in theater two and you have to go
number two, you can walk into stall two and you'll
get to watch the movie that's on.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Well, you are going to have six stalls all playing
different movies at the same time.
Speaker 5 (51:37):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (51:38):
Like sound proofstalls.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
I don't think I want to be in a soundproof
bathroom because if it's soundproof, it's probably there's probably some downsides.
Speaker 2 (51:49):
That actually soundproof stall is not. Well, maybe there are
until you get second.
Speaker 5 (51:57):
One I'll say, there is not a lot better than
the Florida ceiling doors for bathroom stalls.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
It's just it's just it's a wonderful experience. All right.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Well, anyway, Dan, thanks for the the app tip, But
don't really know we need it.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (52:18):
I think it's really good. I like I said, my
wife uses it.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
I will. I don't want her to tell me, like
what are the things that are been missing? But they'll
give you a lot of dialogue. They'll say, like, you know,
John will say to Missy, I'll be right back, and
then we'll know those que lines. And it just means
that if if you get up, like if you've kind
of ore on the verge of having to pe like
you may as well just go right now because you're
(52:42):
not going to miss much.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
If I was a director, I would look at that
app and just be like, that's I can't believe it,
Like that's the people are already pointing out dead spots
in my in my art, and that but me out
because look, it's all tension and release, so give it
some time to make some tension.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (53:00):
All right, And lastly, one last comment, Eric Jenks love Eric.
He says For those that don't subscribe to the Mallow tier,
you missed an absolute banger of a meet up this month,
worth the money without the shows and a stellar hang
with the guys in top tiers.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
So thank you Eric that we had a great time
as well.
Speaker 5 (53:17):
It was marvelous good Hey, that's right, and John Love
it's joining us too. All right, Matt's a bit Matt's
muted himself and he frustrated.
Speaker 3 (53:26):
I'm going crazy over here. We gotta wrap this show up.
Speaker 4 (53:29):
My dog is driving my wife fucking bonkers right now.
Speaker 1 (53:32):
Okay, Well, I just had one more thing I wanted
to say about the Allen Parsons project.
Speaker 5 (53:37):
Oh yes, all right, Well, while't we go around the
one and get a plugs and then we GTFO. I'll
start over there. Well, Matt's a muted in Austin, Texas.

Matt patreon dot com slash water cooler. Please check it
out so support us. We'd really appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
I don't like jacking right now.
