Hello and welcome to Noah Plaz just a clap. I'm Doug and with me is woman who Rick rolled herself by yawning Deb Okay in my defense. It was the Mario Rick role for me mix by I fight dragons And I'm sorry I yawned and suddenly mid yawn it was in my head and then I started singing it And you were properly horrified. Yeah, just yet another song we're gonna have stuck in our heads I think will be DJing most of this episode by singing.

We're slightly delirious. We've had some Red Bull and maybe something else So this should be an interesting episode What does the fox say? Okay, so I did this to a friend actually this is the day I need to get back to him So we talked about the box last week and I read up some more on it and the guy who did it is actually a comedian and a TV host I didn't know that. Yes, so it makes slightly more sense now.

However, that video has been marinating in my head for a few days And then I just I had to like it's like the ring I had to subject other people to it so they would have to have a weird thought process I did and it's now been a couple days since I asked Tony to watch the video So I'm gonna talk to him today and see how it's marinated in his head Yep, and then Michael and of that was I showed you Black women hugging black women hugging it really is kind of like the ring or you get a video that just doesn't make sense But makes you laugh and then you have to make somebody else watch it just so they have the same weird thought process about it And you're like I think my friend I'm trying to figure it out. Or is it just kind of sitting there? I think my friend Ryan got got the song stuck in his head and then just objected me to it So he wouldn't be alone anymore. Yeah, you gotta record on that.

I was gonna say he's like the outbreak monkey He's patient. He's got a nice way to talk about Dustin Hoffman. Oh I didn't really good hook impression couple days ago by the way What circumstances were you in that you needed to do a hook impression? Only thing I ever think about hook is I just had an epiphany I think you mean an epiphany lightning has just struck my brain Right saves me saves me.

It's me. No. No, I remember what it was. It was When I co-workers who's Quite young Was talking about I know Was was talking about wanting kids and I was like no don't don't do that Two years too young like it's just she's in early 20s like no to keep keep fucking up your life That's what your 20s are for to realize that some people eventually are gonna have children being but I think you're gonna stop at one And I'm gonna stop at zero I'm gonna get on but I'm like I said, but I know so I I was telling her about when I think I can remember it was Jack or the Daughter I can't remember that I was not on top of my head Margaret I mean I said Margaret I said Magrat because I've been reading Terry Prougett and there's a character in there That's supposed to be named Margaret, but her mother misspelled her name.

So it's magrat. Don't get a sexy name Magrat Guffling That smells like a guffing Worsner Vanna cover ever um smells like Gelfam spirit. Yeah, we are now Striders I got nothing after that Something about fizz gig. I don't know solid gold Solid something no so I was talking over it and I did the the the the monologue where he goes off about how um what parents are like before they Have kids he's like you know like I'm not doing it as well as I did at that point But I was like you know before they had you parents went out and they had fun and they did this and they did that's and I was Yeah, I was like doing like the like Jim Carrey Kerry Elwey's clob.

It was like the hook But like yeah doing the hook and just stared at me I was like nothing. Hook is a terrible movie if she hasn't seen it go to on her just listening to a nerd is where they talk about I really losing losing the crowd while making a bogus journey joke and I'm like oh fuck you're right Like if I said station right now like I just did only a handful of people gonna fucking get it But you say station and I start thinking station station and then I said you should know and then I started singing Bowie in my head Mrs. Bowie to Bowie can you hear me out man? Oh, yeah, man.

This is my way to Bowie. I can hear you loud and clear a man. Oh, yeah, man See I'm picking you up on my red dascooene You could go bastard you which by the way fucking to this damn still mad that my friend rob one to leave that concert and then they I was like No, they're gonna do Bowie. They're gonna do Bowie.

They totally I heard it walking to the car I was like fuckers. I did all I wanted was to see Bowie I have a tell you though I have that same problem every time I go to electric six and it has to do with the place that they always play It's way too far down Larimer Street and I know too many bartenders on that street So I always just get wrecked every time I see electric six actually I was just talking about Yeah, I'm on the Larimer lunch But I know far too many bartenders that work on Larimer Street So every time I walk down that street to go to that show I just get wrecked on the way and then wrecked on the way back You know, it's funny. I was actually talking to someone about I think the last couple times we've seen electric six We've just learned a one big a time because I get so I get so Except for me and Becky making fat jokes about some girl, which I should feel bad about she was wearing most unflattering outfit ever Which every time I think I should wear stripes. I see a reason not to And then someone dropped a house on their sister That house was the other girl she was so fat No, I was talking about how work out the show where we it was I think you and Meg Shout out Meg.

It was me and Meg and I believe Beck was there. No, no, there's Laura My friend Laura's here and we were making front of one of your co-workers so hard for being hipster debug He wasn't an hamster D back. He was dressed like a hipster You were like you had like an issue with him wearing his hood inside and his wearing his hood up in the middle of the summer Was that yeah, we were all drunk No, it had no Hey, I'm up. Um, hopefully listening come talk about Star Wars with us sometime soon.

I'll talk to about that when I say it later today Um, but uh, no, no, I was talking about a dog getting dancy and it was Remember like the crowd kind of parted. I don't know if it was because I was throwing elbows or not But then I just kind of happened because I was doing like the sprinkler the running man the cabbage patch the hustle I was doing a charleston. I'm a good coffee grinder in there too. What's a coffee grinder?

It's basically like a cabbage patch. Yeah, man I was and then like someone tried to take my beer and I didn't know it was like they were taking it to have a sip or You guys were like, I think we were taking it so you didn't clog somebody with it on accident Because they only have the pbr tall boys and I have regular pbr so it was just tall boy after tall boy until Doug thought he was a fucking celigal dancer Like I was fucking all like that. That's kind of just the nature of the lair. I was fucking the venue Doug Travolta That you have to kind of have to drink to make it okay Don't get me wrong.

It's the perfect size venue to go see electric six Yeah, because they always sell out the place, which is great Yeah, wonderful seeing a packed crowd like that for something like electric six, but it's not a good venue at all No, it's just not a good space. I mean, I would love to see them over at the Ogden or even all the way up at the fucking um I'm the blue bird would be there. I think blue bird would be probably their biggest venue I'm totally gonna date myself by saying this but I have just so many good memories of the Ogden before they redid it You remember the film or no, dude, you remember they redid the Ogden about kind of must have been like eight to ten years ago I don't remember when the film or got redunded used to be the mammoth Yeah, no, this was after that. It was the Ogden before they redid the place and it was just kind of shady and concrete But I have so many good memories of saying there.

Oh, I do remember that we did the Ogden I do excuse me. I do remember that. Yeah, like I said, it's not a big deal I just have so many good memories of seeing as I used to go almost every week when I could still handle going to shows and see something at the Ogden That was I think was at the Ogden I was at the film or was the first show I actually felt old was um Robin I went to go see um I think it was type of negative opening for cradle of filth. I was there we've had a conversation about this show Where I think I think this was the show because Robin just this was the show where the air conditioning was broken if you remember correctly And there is nothing funnier than and this is high summer and then the guy faces melting Yeah, there's nothing funnier than makeup melting off goth kids But if you remember it was so that everybody started passing out from heat exhaustion and they actually sent out security with bottles of water To pour in everybody because everybody was passing out from all the heat I just remember that I think Rob is recovering from um a broken foot and um, I had already hurt my knee at that point, uh, and it you know healed as well as it's going to Um, but Robin I were in the back because we couldn't really mosh it couldn't really interact on a crowd level It was on first tier against that reel and we both were like, oh god We're the fucking really old people in the back again.

I want to say I want to see it was a slayer show But I'm pretty sure it was the the the typo cradle of filth show Um, yeah, it was a great show because it's still gonna hang for three fucking songs. So I'm not the put up I said it's no damey border, but it was a good joke. I'm acting you in a long time They do a great cover of a No, we really need to look up some kind of show for us to go to together at some point It's not like it's not like six well I would have had I gotten had I won those tickets from Detroit crowbar cobra's I would have taken you Well, you might I mean would have I'm just I'm so cratchity at this point where I said I only want to interact with people on my terms So going to shows is not great to me. Well, it would have been selfish and tired I'm internet.

I don't like changing their fortune. Changeing a social setting to me is pretty much a new level of hell Like it says because I'm selfish and tired Oh, well, I'm just selfish So I really can't leave you alone at a hot topic. Can I? No, don't get me wrong.

I appreciate that I now have two kick ass dr. Who t-shirts You guys to kick ass tardish shirts. It's even themed. Yes.

I was gonna say two kick ass dr. Who t-shirts because of you Is the other one fit? I'm trying on you. I'll go try it on a minute.

I'm sure it fits mine. It's a close large. Okay Yes, it is girls large. It's still a girls large.

I Yep, but like I said, what else did you buy up at this time Doug? This time I walked in with a coupon and things are on sale. So you got another like I said you got your second tardish shirt, which you're wearing We'll take um I'm totally wearing my doctor who sure as well or one of my new doctor who should I have to take a picture of us to get Conceapot the shirt. Yeah, um, you got your tardish shirt.

I got my the true in my da Vinci Vitruvian man weeping angel shirt Um, once again, I told you I just I don't know I just can't wear a shirt with like Matt Smith or David Tennant on it You just don't want to commit to a doctor yet, do you know? It's not that it just it's so on the nose. I'd rather wear it. Well, then I like the villain so much fucking more.

I mean mothic fucking villains are amazing Um But uh, yeah, I just rather wear like kind of a generalized like a tardish shirt or a weaving angels or a cyberman shirt or whatever It's weird that the tardish is my favorite character and yes, the tardish is a character. Yes Um, I still like the idea that she stole the doctor from the doctor's wife episode. Um, but um Well, yes, so and then I bought a bow tie for Halloween. Um, and yeah, the the piece of resistance Uh may or may not I did uh by a Deadpool mask as a impulse by just to wear while I was recording the sports show Um, I thought I'll fuck it.

I'm gonna wear a Deadpool mask that and the coupon didn't work for the shirts on sale So really the coupon paid for the mask. We have to go there. Um, and uh Deadpool mask who's gonna say? Yeah, um and everything was on there running out early Halloween sales everything was like discounted I should together about Halloween.

What if my girlfriend wants us to do a two person costume like we always do? And I almost know you be the ass You're an ass Uh-huh. Oh, you haven't seen top secret ever have you? Yeah, I was gonna say yes, I know what you're talking about, but I normally do a little German over there I normally do uniform themed costumes, but I kind of run through all of those because I've done like I was gonna say I've done the boy scout I've done like the army girl.

I've done the cop. I've done I was gonna say the sailor outfit. I've done a little army girl thing Like I've done almost every uniform themed costume and she wants to do it. They have to person.

Milk person? Milk man. Milk man. Milk man.

Keep that one mind. I think my favorite is still boy scout just because there's nothing funny I'm trying to put on a boy scout shirt and only being able to get two buttons done So I just wore it with a red lace bra. Do you end up looking like that? Did you ever see fun size?

No, I never saw fun size. Uh, Ricky Lindholm plays like a her costumes like a An anime character in the movie, um, but it's like a boy scout mixed with a sailor moon costume Which Lindholm pulls off that's when I was kind of like Ricky Lindholm's side. Yeah, I was like, yeah, not when you saw her naked and held boy. No, that's not a connector.

Uh, hell, baby I do that too. Um Uh, yeah, I think that was my like, I was like, oh I only thought with her naked and held baby. She looked like she used to a lot of spray on tamb Anyway, well, she was on the people are gonna see me naked diet. She talks a lot about that on So no, she looked fantastic.

I texted about the necklace movies. No. Oh fuck. Oh fuck.

John ham. Nick offerman. Wern her her zog God damn bro Anyway, uh, so I actually got her non-turn watching something that will suck you in for a while But it's not like one of those must haves when I was convalesced a couple years ago Okay, a friend of mine brought me the first season at shock I really like watching it in big groups like I can't imagine watching it week to week just because I mean it draws you I mean bingeing as opposed to watching with a group of people I should have said a step closer. Yes.

I like I like bingeing on it because I can imagine watching it week to week But I mean watching a few episodes at the same time when you're already kind of locked into their universe It's really really enjoyable. I mean, it's about a nerd who is forcing into being a spy It's cute. I really like it. Like I said, I kind of like accidentally got our non-turn watching it because he came over and I was watching it And he's like, oh, this is interesting.

It was I the primacy the little silly to me where the premise is totally silly But once you're buying into that it's fine because you two sucked into his head or whatever it was like The Tesseract Intersects intersects like a second-day recurriculars a lot like his co-workers Jeff and Lester Okay, my breakfast is finally here. I'm wondering how that took so many mountains. That's right. The non-turns here with my eggs So don't I wanted you to tell the Doug once vengeance best prank ever.

So right? This was uh, I don't know what my this was at the time. I had a step rather Um, he's not dead, but uh, his mom and my dad are not divorced. Um, so what the song?

He's just somebody that I used to know Just put them in the fridge. Thank you. Sorry And uh, I don't know what he's doing, but he ended up um irritating me so uh, I said I was going upstairs and which wasn't odd for me as a child. I would go request myself my room and read books I'm sorry my purpose is making lots of noise And uh, we want to wait until he's done crinkling everything.

He's trying to be quiet. You know, just just own it. Just do it It's my fault. I order breakfast.

Go ahead. It's my hands. No, you're fine. It's almost right on time.

No, it's a little bit really good for freaking ever Um, is that all you got Michael? You know, they miss ball burrito in the money just POS It's burrito burrito, which is great because it's like a combination of a burrito and a gun. No, it's the no, that'd be Yeah, um, no, that'd be uh, the joke from rob was uh, I used to call him burritos And he goes, oh, yeah, because like that's how it's spelled. I was like no, it would have to have two teas It's got two R's it would be rolling around like burrito.

I was like about two teas that'd be burrito like you wouldn't say chicken and waffles And in this day I still say burrito and waffles Um waffles, um, but oh, so I don't know my stepro that did irritating Um probably just be himself and uh, and uh, so I said I'm going upstairs and uh, I waited under his bed um until he fell asleep and then uh I waited for him to fall asleep and he slept with his arm hanging out over the bed Which is weird, why doesn't he have the same childhood fear that we all have? Because his dad didn't show upholter guys at a young age Um, either didn't mind but I still don't sleep with limbs hanging out of the bed. Oh, no Um, I'm also going back to burrito like I'm also a burrito sleeper like I kind of cocooned myself up and covers I like to start fish across the bed but anyways Um Now that sounds like that sounds like a sex position No, star fishing is a very recognized term for spreading yourself out across the bed Don't act your story Starfish go back to your story. Um, yes Uh, so uh, oh, yeah, like the whole trick about combining uh places with things that they shouldn't belong For uh gross sex things that aren't really real you can tell they call that a new england starfish Finish your story So I wait until he falls asleep and I reach up and I hold his hand very gingerly very tenderly And then I just and then I just wait And at some point of course you got like half wakes up and realizes that something under the bed is holding his hand And I could feel like that shutter of like the bed moving where he's like, uh, uh, And then of course he screams I laugh He's gonna like a girl No, he was still he was I mean it was like it was a manly scream I have such a girly scream it'd be like an african-american guy getting killed in a science fiction movie or a horror movie I mean, uh, yeah, if I'm male minority death in it, you know, um That's kind of scream out of male minority death.

Yeah Seriously though, that that's just fucking brilliant. No, but I mean if you ever wanted to get back at somebody, let's go. Oh god Just come out of bed. Why like half sleep.

There's something from under the bed holding my hand. Yeah Yeah, and I think we were probably like I don't know like 11 or 12 like It's it's not to the point where like you're you know, you're old enough that you know, you just be like oh shit Okay, like you know when you're old enough you'd have that moment of like oh my god There must be like oh, it's gonna. Well, you start trying to do two things you mentally work out Why this is happening and how to deal with it? Yes, but as a child you're just like Yeah, so it was that yeah, so I did that Uh, and now he's like some big buff guy that builds motorcycles in the woods.

You can see what? I don't know To get around that's what he does. I don't know he grew up in body shops. I don't know if it's a job He likes to like rehabs things or he does like fabrication.

I'm not sure Both my god, I was gonna say both are non-targeted my gentleman. Love to take around with crap like that in our office But I think yeah, I think he and his wife are like one of the 17 people living in Montana right now So um or one of the Dakotas. Does that really need a Norton self-deco? Can't you just combine into the Dakota?

No one fucking cares What about the ones in this Vermont? That's not a thing. This is no, it's not. This is no, it's not.

There are not two Vermonts. Well, there was during the Civil War They were poofy wigs then I'm saying now Not during the Civil War they didn't during the Civil War. Yes. It was during the revolution.

Oh my god Did you see did oh you probably have the I just watched the new bill mark And they talk about how um the twitter verse exploded over the miss America if you heard about this No, oh god. No, I'd be better. She was fine. Um No, no, no she got accused of calling one of the other contestants that anyways, it's not important No, the new miss America is a uh, indian.

Yeah, and of course Everyone who actually says the word murica broke out on fucking twitter. Oh, yeah, it was like it was like, you know They're missing their miss america and they were conceptual live-ins or like way to go terrorists and you're like, well, that doesn't make any sense and uh, so the Breaking to that and uh speaking of the civil war is my segue here. Um uh, they were talking about what if twitter was around for the civil war and it was like if ably can had a um Uh, twitter account and something it was something like shut the fuck up jubyred Like I was cracking up and it was like at iran link and just go to the theater and die already Like will he because he started talking about like just the sheer hatred on twitter and it was like, yeah People were wasting their time saying fuck you in your fucking stupid face zag breath It was like and like why they were attacking uh, miss america and jona hill and all this So stupid. Yeah, they are so stupid, especially on twitter.

However, there is though I think it's on fuss v but it might be on Cracked there was a whole link and it was like facebook posts from famous moments of the past And there was one about martin luther getting super drunk and somebody daring him to nail his uh, I was gonna say nail his uh The mans for the church on the church door and that drunk crazy. So he actually did it. Oh that martin luther not. Yeah, okay The original martin luther not martin luther king.

Oh, i'm sorry. I'm telling you to drink water. Sorry. Oh like there's an app for that?

Um No, uh This is a girl with a drink water app. I'm sorry. I was going to say I'm sorry You don't ever never mind never mind. So people being assholes and making like very dated indian references I finally watched the james franco roast which is recommended to me.

Yeah, speaking of dada Indian Yes, please make some more references from how many years ago about it season. Sorry. Uh, i think i was at the fence No, that was one of the things he's like really guys really Yes, so i watched the james franco roast. It was highly enjoyable.

You mean the james franco slash jona hill roast with the accession of adam sandberg Dude he was fucking awesome. No, he wasn't. Can he roger's chain roasted Oh, that was the bad that was the point. I realized that he was bombing on purpose, but considering how good everyone else does i'm just like Shut the fuck up sandberg.

Okay. I like them. That's right. But bill hater took some shit like some real shit What was commercial when they became fucking for was it t-mobile?

He's on that. Yeah, I think it's a t-mobile uh upgraded commercials. Spent in that t-mobile money on it. Yeah, wait it'd be on the quit s&l and that but the third largest carrier Like Spent came to him but he said no Mine was uh speaking of a hundred uh hundred and forty characters that no one gives a shit about bill hater's here Or the the line of um, zeth rogan rolled a big fatty uh before the show because health were gonna get jona hill on stage They were terrible cover your ears Oh, who's?

He's like hey and he's like yeah, he's gonna die soon like Oh jeff ross was brilliant on this one. I love jeff ross dressed up as his character With the corners I think I look too soon written on his neck too soon Um No, it was a good roast. Anyone who's listening to neck tattoo was always a bad idea. I'm not saying i'm saying i haven't gotten mine yet Oh, you're not gonna get neck tattoo with you know an expert friend's name on it Well, not now.

Sorry, surely Just get all of the big ones like in one like portmantic of them. I just love the idea of you getting it. Sorry sima Wow, that's pretty Oh, sure easy enough sounds like an awful idea. That's a great name Climidia.

I like that name my daughter climidia Oh, sinister. So I had a dev day Let's talk about or basically anything Self-day, I totally have self-day on Tuesday, but I picked up a copy of the regular show when I went to the DVD shop Wait, you know wait another two days I like that one of my coworkers. I think I'm one of the oldest people at work and I'm not bad old But they're all in their early 20s and they said something about like oh, you know if you start dating I got to wait till the third date. I'm like no, I'm in my 30s doesn't happen anymore I've been with the same guy for like five years.

I don't think we need to talk about our sex life What sex life on my side of things That's because you're sick. I didn't I didn't have to pee you know after drinking all that water My genitals would be for decoration. They're just for show. Yeah.

Just for show. Yeah, I picked up a DVD before I know when it's cold and that's it Trying to talk about cartoons. I'm gonna keep talking about your genitalia We can talk about both No other song stuck in my head. Uh quick, gendall cartoons, chitara.

That's my go-to right there Cartoon character I want to rub on Do me a ripple left. Yeah, I have some place. Uh huh That'd be a six name I get tattooed on my neck. That'd be awesome Chitara Say hello to never getting late again.

Chitara on the neck. Yeah, and it'd be like in the like uh Hispanic like gang like that Super true. Yeah, if you get a neck tattoo, it has to be like that. Mm-hmm And then on the other side you can put murrica No, I would know your two right loves Chitara America and murrica.

Oh, yeah It's like when I was gonna get that uh elvish tattoo That's that elv suck but an elvish one thing No But yes, I picked up season one and two on divan of the regular show, I just made you watch the power the power listening to the episode Maybe kind of band I'll call it urban Not being wizard. Yeah, not being wizard. I would rather than the power episode. Yeah, okay So in my head it's totally a casio the keyboard that they have.

Oh, yeah, no, it's it's totally a casio I love that he steals the casio off apartments while the wizard who has it is being in the bushes because he's got out to die That in the fact that one of the characters Mordecai names at the power because he's always wanted to have a girlfriend named the power Think the part that really sells it to me is when they come on the long-sleeve sweatshirts and do the whole the empty sleeve arm in the middle dance And I am I describing it well enough We could put a video up later. Like I said, I don't know how to describe it It's just one of those things where they give you that was the first episode they ever aired They give you absolutely no explanation of the characters what they do where they lay off the other people that happen to be Yeah, like because they work on golf course They work in a park and they live in a house on the park But they give you no explanation whatsoever of what's going on and you just have to accept that they have this magic keyboard or if they go There's a wizard. Yeah, if you do a little day, it's in sing songs that Ryan well enough then what you want will happen Yeah, like we're like give us a raise loser Don't pull the loser. I don't want to cry.

He's sensitive. That inflated head monopoly man. Yes pops There's an episode later on that's all trying fine for you where One of the characters rigby accidentally sees pops naked Awesome And he can't get the image out of his head and they eventually have to go into his memory to try and change the image and get rid of it We got a turtle sunshine it Don't watch it when you're drunk though, it's just sad It was like right after a Charlotte night split. I mean when you were torturing me with dire straits Yeah, here talking about torture that was at the time where I don't watch the fountain if you've just gotten broken up I was gonna watch it because I was like oh darn it no darn it's an osu!

movie like on a side note the soundtrack that is phenomenal And it was great to listen to while you're working. Who did the soundtrack? I'm not sure I'll have to look it up. It's mostly instrumental Yeah, but it seems like it'd be like I did like um Twin Peaks whatever his name is all the other ones I said it's fantastic But uh, yeah, my friend other stinson was like yeah, don't do that don't watch the movie.

Yeah, yeah And uh, then hindsight uh my brain would have been like yep, I want I want Charlotte to get cancer Charlotte, sorry Charlotte Hanselat, there we go. Like I said I apologize to Charlotte. Sorry. Has she gotten back to you about her sock yet?

No, no she's been busy making wizard chut jewelry Hey now I want to see it. Anyways, did you throw the sock away yet? I don't actually know where it is now. Thank god But like I said, I highly recommend Charlotte pop it out of it I highly recommend the regular show it's weird random in the same way that adventure time is which is also another one that I picked Up when I was having dead day.

I love adventure time. I love the stin You know what I'm talking about. Yes, I know what you're talking about. It's not coming to me But like he's that dog that would have read up dog.

It's gonna piss me off now I'm gonna sit up in the middle of night and be like And then text you oh that just sounds like a madadore Adore matador worst night terrors ever I want to ask you a question about books. I love rereading books. Do you ever reread or now? I have a recently um, I reread pretty constantly.

I actually sometimes find some books more enjoyable when I'm reading them I'm rereading a series now called uh Brother for the Black Dagger, which are totally vampire pro porn novels But what I love about rereading them is that I can totally just skip over the B plots and read the characters that I like It is fantastic. I do have an every read comics. I'll I'll tend to skip over um certain panels I just like I said you can skip over the B plots or the characters you don't give a fuck about it I just read what I hate to say but sometimes I do that on the sandman I can totally because there are lots of little side stories or yeah or like just the story of the The not the czar the sheik or whatever it is the one with the apple the no city of Baghdad in the bottle Yeah, which is a great great issue. I mean phenomenal.

I think that's the Israeli art if I'm not mistaken um uh, but It's just like when I reread it. I just skip it. I'm like, yeah, yeah, no, I gotta like it doesn't I don't need that It's like all those things like I know why you put it there. I know this is intergolden blood But I know what's gonna happen now and I don't care so I'm just gonna read about the characters that I like So I sometimes like even with ready player one.

I love that book, but now I reread it. I totally start the middle Yeah, you don't need their world, so exactly So I sometimes find books more enjoyable when I'm reading them and I have books that I reread constantly like it's about time for me to reread Snow Crash it's been about a year. Oh my god. I got a great story about something Some at work in this guy walks over the shirt that says realities for people that can't handle science fiction Fine great Looked to get something like a supernova sun in the background pretty sciencey science science and um And I told him about ready player one and I was like, oh man, you gotta check it out if you guys said it's a kind of a kind of a It's kind of like um the internet equivalent of Gary Gagax dies Um, you know, and he set up all these Easter eggs to find his fortune and he goes, oh cool I said, yeah, the world is kind of like the world the virtual world in snow crash, which is like second life in In real life in Yeah, um He just goes snow crash and I'm like, oh Yeah, well I said yeah, we that first um I said it's gonna be a bear to get through the middle of it It's against kind of academic but bear be up but it's worth it on the first read and he's like, okay I was like, okay, it's kind of a modern hero man sir blank stare.

Oh my And I was like William Gibson. I was like fucking I was like Nero man sir, Mona Lisa overdrive one of the newer ones spook country. I was a big fan of it I had one of the characters from Nero man sir And it just makes me wonder if he reads it all like well, it was just one of those like I But what like how do you wear a shirt that says like science fiction or not? He might not read you might just be a TV or an internet guy Well, but that that's true.

I mean, I'm assuming he probably knows what firefly is but um No Brown coated Murdered it. No idea. I did nerd him. I'm had the best conversation this guy I came in and um We end up talking about Superman and Batman and Avengers like the move all the movies and I mean movie universe stuff It's going on right now.

Um for fucking 45 minutes Like my coworker went out for two smoke breaks I just kept talking. It was great. We talked about it Frank Cranston was like slu's Thor We talked about the Ben Affleck thing how you know what we thought a man of steel what our theories were on who Ultron's gonna be Not that it's gonna be James spader, but um Character well like where's it gonna come from because you don't have um pink pin yet Um, and I'm throwing my I'm gonna throw my two cents in where Ultron's gonna come from Right now because I want to be ahead of the curve. I don't care if I'm wrong.

I think this is fucking great. Um is uh And it would be great for Paul Bettany But it's gonna be interesting if they do this With James spader is I I want I think I I want to say it's gonna be the corrupted Jarvis AI It's the way to get around because then he would have access to the Iron Man tech to make his ultron body And he would have like files on all the Avengers Like you know the way the Batman had all the way Batman had all the contingency plans in tower babble I ever did you ever eat our babble? Yeah, but I watched the one where his contingency plan will get stolen. Yeah, the uh, just a sleep doom Which is based on tower babble, but No, it's in babble.

They changed a few things. I'll tell you How they take down the flash is fucking awesome They shoot him in a neck with a vibrating bullet so he can't vibrate out of its way and it puts him to lightspeed seizures And they're talking and he goes they pull the bullet out of him and he stops having these lightspeed seizures and he goes Yeah, they're entire days. I just wanted like I just wanted to die. How long was I out?

They go 22 minutes. Oh god It's brutal. Thank you mark way and Howard Porter Um, yeah, I thought about was my oh and all this is going on while racial ghoul is setting up a literal tower of abble that um first scrambles Our ability to read and then scrambles our ability to um talk verbally Like you either read you read gibberish and at that point you just hear gibberish so completely I think about what would happen to hospitals Um, it probably heavily influential in My idea that I think be discussed. I don't know if it was op air or not Well, it's not it's just a general villain, but in my head it was kind of spun out of the gentleman and the silence Um, well obviously a healthy dose of tower of abble But the way they they kind of defeat Uh kind of pick at the bad guy is very dr.

Whoish so but anyway, um Yeah, let's talk about iOS seven. This is all you. I'm not gonna go off. This isn't this isn't the I this isn't the it crowd This isn't the it crowd podcast.

Um, this isn't uh, all right This isn't rest in pieces isn't g4. Um, please name some wonder shows. Well, but I mean ones that attack happy Um, you're just mad because you have to say I have two dots now. Yeah, that they changed part It's a complete visual overhaul and it looks um, you'll hear me say this on something different later Uh, but I say it's like tripping s in disney.

Um, everything's pastel everything's my 3d and I forgot right part. Um No, I I got the I got I had a friend say oh, it's really trippy. Uh, that was in the morning if I nightfall I had um I was dramatic by nightfall Um, but it might I had the time to to download the update and update everything and I mean they changed some of the sounds they changed the look Um, I've heard enough time getting used to any of those. They oh, I'll get there.

Uh, instead of bars. I have dots which sounds so fucking douchey Sorry, I've only got two down. Sorry. Yeah, because you're 3g.

I'm only no I only want dot. Um Uh, my two biggest bitches on it right off the bat where that I uh, once I figured out how to search the internet on my phone Um, because it took me a little while to navigate the the mobile safari. Um, that sounds like bullshit Uh, then I yeah, I spent like, you know, instead of reading at the end of the night I just googled like how to do certain things. Um, because I couldn't figure out how to force quit applications out of the multitasking Um, which looks ripped directly from android, which people can complain, but I think apple was smart went Hey android do this work out all the bugs and then we'll just kind of you know mirror it I guess I'm an android user there's a few things about it that pick me off but I mean, it's just me But uh, no, my neighbors asked my dog won't shut up Okay, um, I like silent and then the dog got silent um But then again, it forces you to use a dedicated podcast app not necessarily the apple podcast app Which I do use which has come a long way since I last tried it and I didn't I hated it Um, it's not you were vehemently anti-amplist app the first time you tried it.

Um, I'm a lot better at it. Um, and I think when I tried it was when Um, I think initially you had kind of chucked the nerdest at me This is like in the very the infant stages of me getting into podcasts Yeah, so I was I think the nerdest because it was recommended on apple I was gonna say on the apple, um, sore site, my agent site. Yeah, I was gonna say and it was staff recommended and I'm like First hard wake I look at their look at their guests. I'm like the sun's interesting and I ended up getting like again Well, yeah, I was gonna say and so I told you to try it um, but I I fell into I fell into a very deep podcast all right off the bat Um, because you know my brain.

It's it's always hungry for new things. That's the same thing as I wanted new knowledge. I wanted new insight Yeah, and combine that with um Uh, everybody in creservis book the nerdest way the nerdest way. Yeah, um Kind of hard one to read at night because it's like I just want to unwind with the story as opposed to reading self-help book Um, but he talks about having nerd brain which you know, like pinpoint accuracy Being so obsessed with something you just break it down to a quantum level.

Um, combine nerd brain with that like always hungry for more Thing now you're birthing now. I'm birthing We are bubbing rippel. Um, um Opening up for Pissing wizard and uh, and baboon witch doctor sister cripple and gerry king and the enablers Um, mortifying ribby. I mean mortifying the ribby's yeah Um But uh, yeah, I thought I had a real big podcast hole and uh, I think I didn't like the app because I was literally getting into like nine different podcasts And it was a lot to see in a certain UI user interface, but I think they really come along way since I So, um, yeah, I just used the apple podcast one and it's it works.

What did you recommend for it? I recommended a dog catcher or podcast addict Um, I like podcast addicts, um interface a bit more Um, but uh dog catcher's got a better feature. So it's kind of a Yeah, yeah, it depends on how text-out you are in the end Uh pushing along sleepy hall. You haven't seen it.

Um, you don't have to talk about it now Uh, but I will say I wish I would have kept it Um It's not really that big of a chore Okay, okay, the kid the step brother that I scared who tried to make breakfast for our parents once Great crunchy eggs They're great because of the shells in them in the chemicals turn. Yeah, it's wow. I mean, it's like, okay. Well, that was great.

Um Uh, one thing like you're looking between like, you know, uh, Let's see. I got married when I was in fifth grade. So that's what 10 niche. That's so I mean, you're looking at probably between 10 and 12 No, I'm the guy that fucked up putting it home back Yeah, you're supposed to use milk and putting that water.

I had chunky chocolate water Did you want to talk about sleepy hall or you can wear a weight? Um, I will say this before you see it Um, makes total sense that it was created by uh two guys that are out of transformers and uh, Len Weissman the guy that did um, underworld Okay, I'll think about that again. It's very stylized, but I like to think about that going in Um, so tv played a joke on yoga? tv played a joke on me Um, I know that we've always had the joke where we we have actors playing the same character same characters throughout different roles.

Um Uh, we've done them tom hanks, uh, Nicholas cage and Nicholas cage. Although now I like to think about signing peg that way Especially after seeing uh, world's energy probably. Yeah, I'm sure you know, that's what happened to signing peg after we went into space for the second time Yeah, I'm trying to commit suicide. Yeah, becoming a raging alcoholic and trying to commit suicide shots.

Um, so good But uh, yeah, so I was uh, the movie was on mute. I was watching it work with tv's and I throw out on AMC Um, so I went slow. I can just watch clean eastwood marathons. Um, and uh And I see the space movie.

I see Gary's and he's of course my man automatically and I would zoom A lot of people probably know this. He probably go Follow 13 with 10 space. He said he said he's the only space movie I could think of Gary's and he said it was Apollo 13 But no, no it wasn't terrible because then all of a sudden there's a computer with the dna helix and don cheetle with a really bad beard And I'm like, oh, fuck This is totally this is how I do this. This is only ghost of Mars.

No wait. That was ice cube. I'm now entirely confusing myself Needlessly and then realize it's mission of Mars, which I have not thought of that would be probably since it came out Just one other thing because it's something I once said to you in exasperation. You're like a fucked up I am DB.

Oh, yeah, but it's so funny because I was like, oh my god Like I just didn't hold Gary's face this character throughout and I was like I just did that in real life by accident So yeah, tv played a fun fun trick on me Going into the corrections department the internet told me I'm wrong Lucy punch was the actress we were trying to think of from Ben and yes, uh, also man hot buzz and quite a few other things Uh, she was in hot fuzz band teacher is the one I really know where from um, and she was on the failed I shouldn't say failed but scrapped first pilot of uh, uh, uh, Bendis and uh powers. Yeah Terrible paul red corral movie called dinner for idiots dinner for smucks smucks. Yeah. Oh, fuck.

I forgot that. Oh, it was really bad She was funny in it, but it was really bad. Maybe I had the original so much better probably. I mean the premise sounds interesting Yeah, leave it to americanist grew it up Need to America fucking up.
